Chapter 44: The Strange Circle (Part 2)

For a whole night, it was Ha Ma who was talking, talking non-stop, as if he wanted to confide in a small soldier who had accumulated all the words he had accumulated in his life with a small soldier who did not match his identity and status.

And Chen Liang, a young member of the army, could only listen cautiously. Occasionally, there were a few enlightenments, but the words before and after all the responses did not add up to more than ten sentences. And I kept praying in the depths of my heart, hoping that God would open his eyes and make his memory worse at once, and worse, and that it would be better to forget everything he had heard tonight when he went out.

However, human memory does not change due to subjective wishes. When he set off the next day, Chen Liang, who joined the army, remembered almost every word he said last night in his mind. And deeply felt the helplessness and sadness accumulated in Hama's heart.

Hama is dying! While riding a horse and traveling south, Chen Liang joined the army and came to a conclusion.

As the saying goes, people are about to die, and their words are also good. That's why Hama said so much secrets and hardships to a character like a half-stranger. As for why Hama died? The reason is simple. Emperor Tuhuan Timur no longer trusted him, so he crossed him to convey something to the volunteers below. In the short seventy-year history of the Great Yuan Dynasty, there are generally only two ways out for prime ministers who are not trusted by the emperor. Either after being dismissed by the emperor, they were divided and eaten by other colleagues. Either kill the emperor yourself and set up a new king.

Hama doesn't want his brother Xuexue to avenge him! This is the second conclusion that Chen Liang has reached.

Once Hama was dismissed, or imprisoned by the imperial court for any reason. Xue Xue's best choice was not to take revenge or avenge her grievances, but to immediately lead her family to flee to the defense area of the Sixth Army in Huai'an, that is, the area of Denglai. In this way, for the sake of the secret song that had been secretly communicated before, the Huai'an Army would not kill Xuexue. And the family where the two brothers belong has the opportunity to continue to inherit and reproduce.

Third, and the last conclusion that Chen Liang came to when he joined the army, was that the Great Yuan Dynasty was estimated to be over.

Although this conclusion made him faintly feel a little sad, and even a little lost. But reason clearly told him that the ending was irreversible, and the difference was only a matter of time.

The reason is also surprisingly simple, if the prime minister of a country has to send his son and nephew to the opponent to seek refuge. How could he still have any loyalty to this country in his heart? If a country's prime ministers have lost their loyalty to it, how can that country still have a chance to defeat a strong enemy?

The Great Yuan Dynasty is already rotten from the roots, even if one or two loyal ministers and famous generals can occasionally appear, what can be changed is only the parts and branches and leaves, and it is impossible to rejuvenate the whole as a whole.

With a full stomach full of apprehension, Chen Liang, who joined the army, walked quickly. Every night when I camped, I waited for the night, lest a killer catch up from behind and break my body into pieces. As a result, it only took five days to reach Weizhou, approaching the border between the imperial court and the Huai'an army. He thought that what he was about to see was a tragic scene of jackals in the wilderness and no one to collect the bones. But what he never expected was exactly the opposite of what he had expected.

There were no corpses, no bones, no wolf smoke or crows. Under the clear sky, there are only patches of neat wilderness. It is more neat than the outside of the Seychelles, and it is by no means as dry as the steppes outside the Seychelles in autumn. Large and small rivers crisscross the emerald green fields, making people feel refreshed when they look at it.

Perhaps because the battle had just been fought and the people had not yet returned, it was rare to see anyone alive in the wilderness except for the soldiers. And what those soldiers held in their hands was not a bright sword or spear, but a thin and long bamboo pole. The end is tied with a thick leather string, and when it is raised suddenly, it will pull out a loud sound in the humid air, "Bang! ”。

The flock, which was drinking water by the stream, moved slowly and honestly to the command of the whip. Each group was thousands of buckets in number, and from a distance it looked like a huge white cloud. Dogs, which are specially bred to protect the sheep, line up and patrol the area. Every time he noticed abnormal movement, he barked wildly.

Chen Liang, who brought more than 30 members of the Prime Minister's Mansion with him, of course, could not help but arouse the vigilance of the shepherd dogs, and soon, the group was surrounded by the barking of dogs. Immediately after, the auxiliaries who were herding sheep took out the horn from their arms, "Woo woo woo!" The ground blew up. Not far away, the sound of a horn quickly echoed. Then wave after wave, the police message was transmitted to a military camp that is currently invisible to the naked eye.

"I am Chen Liang, a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I was ordered to come to inquire about General Xuexue! Which general is the strong man in front of him, and he is still bothered to speak for Chen! Lest it cause an unnecessary misunderstanding, Chen Liang quickly took out the token from his bag behind the saddle, held it high in his hand and loudly reported to his home.

"What did you say?" The auxiliary soldier closest to Chen Liang lowered his horn and responded loudly in extremely stiff Chinese. "Tongyu, no need, did you hear the horn? That's the delivery of the message, and someone will come and talk to you in a moment! ”

"Thank you for solving Chen's doubts!" was so angry by the appearance of the other party's turtle that his nose smoked, but in the case of both life and earth, Chen Liang had to continue to remain calm and polite, "Dare to ask which general is the strong man?" actually came up with the idea of paralyzing the enemy army with a flock, Chen really admired! ”

"You ask me!" As soon as the other party spoke, it was extremely awkward Chinese. Obviously, I haven't been learning for a long time, and I haven't mastered it yet, "I don't know which general's command." I was sent here by my master to herd sheep for the generals. Did you see that my sheep grew well? I'm about to catch autumn fat, and when the moon is full, I can cut the second stubble! ”

"Sheep shearing, sheep shearing for what? Isn't this sheep killed to eat meat? The auxiliary soldier donkey's lips did not reply to the anesthesia, and his eyes turned blue. Chen Liang waved his arm vigorously and asked angrily.

The only use of raising sheep is to eat meat. Wool is usually waste, most of it is thrown away, and only a very small part is used to roll felts or make boots. This is common sense that all those who have lived in most of the capital know, how can there be any countryman who dares to fool him with this!

"What?! Eating meat? Your Excellency, you're from out of town, and if you look closely, this isn't the goat rake the size of a rabbit. This is a sheep, a sheep, have you ever seen it? Unexpectedly, the hillbilly auxiliaries heard his questioning, and instead of taking the initiative to admit their mistakes, they immediately changed their faces, and held their hands on the whip pole very vigilantly, and looked angrily, "A sheep can produce three catties and a half of hair!" Do you know how much wool is a pound now? You still want to eat his meat. My family has said that whoever dares to eat its meat, my family, my family will peel his skin when I turn around! ”
