Chapter 43: The Yellow Dog

It is said that since the horses were released into captives, after three days, Jicheng seemed to be calm, but there were common patrols everywhere.

It turned out that in order to be in case, Pang Roujian sent an additional patrol team to prepare for contact with the enemy soldiers outside. In just three days, nearly dozens of people were arrested, and many spies sent by Wang Yu were also arrested.

For the appearance of these fine works, the people who swore to Ma Zongheng at the beginning were all ashamed, because they were those who made fine works at home, and they did not dare to go out of the house all day long. It's just that there are not many troops under Ma Zongheng, so monitoring these meticulous works and spies can make it difficult for the soldiers under Ma Zongheng's command, and they rotate several shifts day and night. Pang Rou saw that these people were loyal and commendable, and they were familiar with the situation in the city, so she agreed. In this way, there was an extra shift to ease everyone's life.

Of course, Wang Yu did not move, but he also did Ma Zongheng a great favor, so that he had free time to find out these details one by one.

It was noon. Ma Zongheng had just gotten up from his lunch break, and was about to go out to take a look at the situation in the city, when he suddenly heard a noise outside the palace. Ma Zongheng heard Chen Jie's report that a group of people had arrested seven or eight fine works and asked to see them outside the mansion, led by the old man of that day.

When Ma Zongheng heard this, his face froze, and he hurried with Chen Jie and the others. As soon as the horse arrived at the door, the old man saw it, immediately knelt down, and cried and bowed: "I'm sorry for the little pony general~!" It's rare for General Pony to believe in me and other people, and the little one swore to protect my family's beast, but I didn't expect him to be the lackey of Wang Yu, the thief. Today, the little one and a group of villagers specially arrested him and his accomplices and handed them over to General Pony to deal with!! ”

"Old immortal~~!! You shut up~~!!! Lao Tzu is fine, you are talking nonsense~~!! At this moment, among the seven or eight people who were bound, a rather thin and grim-faced man screamed.

"You brute, if you don't repent, I'll just kill you!!" The old man was furious, and turned around and pounced on the thin man, but he slammed into him, screamed, and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the thin man suddenly shouted, "Brothers, don't you hurry up!? ”

As soon as the thin man screamed, the rope on his body suddenly loosened, and immediately pounced like a vicious wolf, and at the same time the other six or seven men also broke free lightly, roared one after another, and pounced on the horse. Several of them even pulled out daggers that shimmered with cold light from their bosoms.

"Yellow dog, don't hurt General Pony!!" At this time, the old man suddenly rushed to meet him, and the thin man named Yellow Dog, who was in a hurry, even ignored that the person who came was his own father, shook his hand violently, and overthrew the old man to the ground. It's just that before the yellow dog could react, he felt an extremely terrifying aura, which made him stiffen all over, and when he looked at it again, a fist as big as a casserole whistled in the gale, galloping over.

There was a 'bang', as if something was cracking. I saw that Ma Zongheng's powerful fist knocked the yellow dog flying, and even knocked over a villain. At the same time, three or four pounced on them. Ma Zongheng stepped on the ground, the body was strange, that is, he cast a bagua fist, a palm first pushed away a person, and saw another person grabbing a dagger and stabbing over, but it was not chaotic, the body turned, and at the same time the fist was like a snake out of the hole, slamming into its back, and the person leaned forward and fell over.

For a while, the man turned on his back, and the horse was so powerful that the remaining villains did not dare to come up. At this time, Chen Jie and a group of villagers rushed forward and instantly captured those villains. It's just that Ma Zongheng's face did not relax because of this, and he suddenly shouted and fled, and the two men in the crowd were so frightened that they ran away. But the horse was faster, like a creeping lion rushing up, so frightened that everyone fled one after another, and when they were momentary, they heard only two screams, and when they looked back, the two men had fallen to the ground, and wailed miserably.

"You're also a fine worker!?" The old man looked at the two men who were rolling on the ground, and trembled with anger, but he quickly figured out that it was these two people who were in charge of tying up just now, if it weren't for these two people secretly doing it, how could his son and those people break free so lightly.

For a while, the old man seemed to have been robbed of all his strength, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and wept: "The matter has come to this, the little one does not dare to brazenly intercede for these beasts, and asks General Pony to leave them with a whole corpse." ”

In these years, the most common works caught in this year have ended up extremely horrific, most of them have been tortured to death, and some even have no corpses.

"Please, General Pony, leave them whole." A group of villagers also knelt down one after another.

Ma Zongheng didn't see joy or anger, and said lightly to Chen Jie: "Put these fine works in prison." It will be of great use in the future. ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, everyone was shocked. Chen Jie hurriedly said: "My lord! ”

Before Chen Jie finished speaking, he was frightened by Ma Zongheng's fierce eyes and retracted his words. Ma Zongheng then walked to the old man, and while helping him up, he said, "I have some important things to discuss with the old man and the villagers, why don't you go in and talk about it?" ”

The old man was grateful to Ma Zongheng, how could he refuse, he was even more flattered, and hurriedly replied, a group of villagers had never entered this mansion in their lives, and they had not been valued by this person in power, and they were all stunned for a while.

Later, Ma Zongheng welcomed the old man and a group of villagers into the house, warmly entertained them, and released them at night. Many people asked Huang Laohan and those villagers about it, but Huang Laohan and others were tight-lipped about it.

At night, Ma Zonghenggang sent the villagers away. Pang Rou rushed over.

I saw Pang Rou smiling and looking at Ma Zongheng with a smile, which made him feel furious.

"When Ling Yun saw me, didn't he have something important to discuss?"

"Hehe, don't hide it from me. I have heard about today's events, and it must be of great significance to think that you will not hesitate to entertain these folks in your busy schedule. Pang Rou's smile was even brighter, and he found that his lord, not only inherited Ma Fubo's peerless martial arts, but also inherited his eloquence and wisdom.

"It seems that you can't hide it from Ling Yun." Ma Zongheng also smiled when he heard this, so he said to Pang Rou so.

Pang Rou's face was slightly shocked, and she said with some hesitation: "The lord's plan is wonderful, but it is really dangerous, but if the Yellow Dog and those people agree openly and secretly make a mistake, when they see Wang Yu, instead of acting according to the plan, they will report the truth in the city one by one, so what?" ”

"How can a soldier's war be nine out of ten? To tell you the truth, just yesterday, I heard that the scout had come to report that the two armies sent by Han Sui would be able to kill Jicheng in less than two days. But if this is the case, our army will be in danger if it is attacked on its back. For this reason, he also had to take risks, as long as he could break Wang Yu's army earlier, and only deal with Han Sui's two lines of soldiers and horses, the outcome was still unknown. "Ma's eyes are shining, and they are sparkling. Pang Rou let out a long breath, and replied with some helplessness: "It's just like this." ”

Early the next morning, before dawn, Huang Gou'er and his accomplices were taken out of prison by Chen Jie. The yellow dog still has a swollen face, if it weren't for Ma Zongheng's mercy yesterday, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago. The other few who were knocked over by Ma Zongheng yesterday were all swollen and bruised, and their injuries were quite severe, and everyone was nervous and came to the back hall.

But when Huang Gou'er and others came, they saw that above the high hall, there were dozens of taels of gold in a wooden box. The golden light shook the yellow dog for a while, and Huang Laohan and some villagers next to him had been waiting for a long time, and they were all angry for a while when they saw the yellow dog, each of them showed a greedy look for money.

"Brute!! These are all harmful things!! Huang Laohan glared and scolded, and Huang Gou'er realized that his old father was beside him, and quickly restrained his expression, and felt guilty in his heart, and couldn't help lowering his head and not daring to look at him.

"I know that you have been poor since childhood, and you are willing to die for the unfaithful and unrighteous people of the king, either for the sake of getting ahead or for the sake of wealth. It's just that if there is chaos today, the era of princes competing for deer will come sooner or later. A sinister villain like Wang Yu, if you follow the left and right, I am afraid that sooner or later you will be destroyed. Now I have two ways to choose for you, one is to work for me, and these tens of miles and two pieces of gold should be rewarded. The second is to let Er's relatives, and the white-headed people send the black-headed people. As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Huang Gou'er and the others suddenly changed their faces.

The yellow dog was alert, knowing that the heavier the reward, the more terrible the risk to be taken, and said with a condensation: "I don't know what the city lord commands?" ”

"Brute!! It's rare that General Pony is willing to give you a chance to change your mind, why don't you quickly kneel down and thank you, and dare to bargain!? Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will break your legs first!! Huang Laohan was obedient, scolded and shouted, and was about to rush out, but fortunately, the villagers stopped him in time and dragged him back. Don't look at the yellow dog who was so fierce yesterday, in fact, he is extremely afraid of this old father, and the yellow dog has died since he was a child, and it was Huang Laohan who worked hard and raised him with a handful of and urine. The reason why Huang Gou'er wants to get ahead all day long is also to let Huang Laohan live a good life earlier.

Ma Zongheng discussed with the yellow dog in the end, and he didn't talk about it for a while. On the other hand, it was said that Wang Yu had sent spies to contact the city for several days, but the city was heavily guarded, and not only did he not get any useful information, but also lost a lot of spies. At this time, news suddenly came that the troops of Liang Xing and Cheng Yin would be able to rush to Jicheng within tomorrow, so that Wang Yu should not act rashly.

"Marshal, General Han is really a blockbuster! Liang and Cheng came so quickly, it seems that the day when Jicheng is broken is just around the corner. One of the soldiers under Wang Yu's command said excitedly.

But when Wang Yu heard this, his face was gloomy, and he secretly peeked at everyone's expressions, and said in his belly: "I don't know how many of these people are Han Jiuqu's spies. Han Jiuqu Mingli said that he joined forces with me as an alliance, and even thought that he was subordinate and respected me as the superior. But he doesn't see me as the same as my stupid brother and wants to treat me like a puppet!! It's hateful that the incompetent Li Jin was killed by the Ma family early on, otherwise I can take Jicheng as soon as possible, take it as a base, and strengthen Jicheng, even Han Jiuqu can't help me at that time!! ”

Wang Yu thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, although he repeatedly moved rescue troops to Han Sui, but he thought that with Han Sui's cunning nature, even if he sent reinforcements, there would not be many reinforcements, at most about thousands, so that he could still take advantage of it. But now Han Sui's faction is an army of 20,000, and it seems that Jicheng is determined to win, which makes Wang Yu, who has broken his troops and horses before, dare to act rashly, I am afraid that he can only hand over Jicheng to others.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu suddenly sighed, after all, Jicheng was the root of his Wang family, if he was not forced to do so, how could he let outsiders occupy it.

At this time, Wang Yu couldn't help but regret his mistakes.
