Chapter 114: New Thighs
The one who invited Ma Chao was wearing a silver armor, quite young, about thirteen years old, and looked a little girly. However, Ma Chao is ready to follow a little mother-in-law young general, because this young general said that his father is Xin Qiji.
Even if Ma Chao is not familiar with the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, he has heard of the name of Xin Qiji. The young general's name is Xin Zhen, and he is the eldest son of Xin Qiji. This year is fifteen years old, according to the modern age, that is, the age of fourteen, if the birthday is small, two years old, only thirteen years old, although Xin Zhi is the year of Zhixue, but the actual age, only thirteen years old. In modern terms, it's a thirteen-year-old child.
Such children were already married in ancient times, and they led a large group of people to this barren mountain and wilderness, which is called hunting. In other words, Xin Zhi asked his subordinates to bring Ma Chao in, and first let people serve tea, Xin Zhi learned from the adults and said: "I saw my brother today, just like God sent me." Ma Chao smiled and looked a little groveling, but there was no timid meaning in what he said. Ma Chao said: "This is the fate of the two of us. ”
The subordinates next to him were dissatisfied when they heard this, and thought to themselves what kind of identity Ma Chao was, just a lowly horse doctor, and he even talked about fate with the young master. Xin Qiji was the deputy envoy of Hunan, and after taking office, he was troubled by thieves.
Last year, Wang Zuo, the commander of the Hunan army, personally commanded the troops and leveled Hunan's biggest bandit, Hunan Xitong, and Chen Tong. But this war has left too many hidden dangers in Hunan, that is, the township community has become stronger.
The township community is a local armed force, no different from bandits, who use powerful force to oppress the villagers, resist the holy decree, and make Hunan a poor livelihood. Hunan has been rich since ancient times, and it is the granary of the Great Song Dynasty. Now it is the main front to resist the Jin Dynasty, this place is in chaos, how can it be.
The emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty sent Xin Qiji, of course, not to ask him to write poems to Wang Zuo, but to let Xin Qiji come to pacify Hunan.
Now, just after the Chinese New Year, Xin Qiji has begun a training plan, and this time the commander of the army is a general named Unknown, this person is full of enthusiasm and talent, Xin Qiji used him to train secretly.
On the bright side, Xin Qiji arranged hunting for these generals, and accompanied his eldest son Xin Zhi to hunt, and he could also confuse those squires, making the squires think that Xin Qiji, like other Hunan transit envoys, was just walking around and pomp.
Whether the subordinates want to or not, Ma Chao still continued to talk about fate with Xin Zhen, and finally said that he was familiar, and directly called Xin Zhi his younger brother.
However, Ma Chao was a little puzzled, Xin Zhi told him that this time Xin Zhi was the nominal leader, and the actual leader was a person named Nameless, why was this person not there, but instead became what Xin Zhi said, could it be that this hunting team really encountered something?
Since he didn't understand, Ma Chao asked, Xin Zhi said that they were originally training around Jiangzhou, but they encountered an unknown armed attack, so they went all the way to the border, where did they think that the team was in hot pursuit, the original team of 200 people, now only 100 people left.
The team was obviously trying to exterminate them, but when they fled into the mountain, unknown forces did not attack. Originally, Nameless was a little glad that after a day of staying here, they found that there was a poisonous miasma in the woods, and the horses were sick.
Nameless is not a Han person, a person who belongs to the barbarian tribe, Nameless said, there must be such a poisonous miasma, there must be a peerless poison to live here, as long as you kill this poison, you can make the poisonous miasma disappear, but Nameless took a few people to the depths of the forest, it has been three days, they have not returned, these horses are sick.
The soldiers on patrol today saw Ma Chao treating two black horses, so they guessed that Ma Chao was a horse doctor, so they invited Ma Chao.
Ma Chao laughed when he heard it, now he has just escaped from the Jin Kingdom, and he is meeting Xin Zhen, this is naturally an opportunity given by God to hug his thighs, Xin Qiji is a big man, how to distinguish this big man.
Ma Chao's method of distinguishing is very simple, not to look at the size of the official position, to look at the current achievements, but to determine whether this person has heard of it, such as selling horses to Temujin, this is an absolute thing, Temujin is the future Genghis Khan, that is a well-known killing god, how can such a big man not cling.
Xin Zhen was originally immature, but after experiencing life and death in the past two days, the whole person has matured a lot. Xin Zhi himself also felt that as a horse doctor, Ma Chao's attitude was too rampant, but now at this juncture, Xin Zhi needs a horse doctor, or wait for the nameless to break the poisonous miasma, and those unknown forces will kill again, and they won't even be able to run.
Ma Chao asked Xin Zhen: "This poisonous miasma is so powerful?" Why didn't anyone get hurt? This question really stopped Xin Zhen, he was in the age of learning and was still in the learning stage, how could he know about this, hearing Ma Chao say this, he also wondered.
There is a subordinate next to him named Chen Xing. When the name was absent, Chen Xing was responsible for commanding the soldiers, just now this Chen Xing talked about fate with Ma Chao and Xin Zhen, this kind of practice of not knowing the status of the noble and lowly, which made Chen Xing dissatisfied, and now I see that Ma Chao used this dispensable knowledge to fool the young master, and immediately became popular.
Chen Xing took over the topic arrogantly and said that this poisonous miasma was aimed at horses, and people were fine. Xin Zhi listened to it and felt that what Chen Xing said was right. Ma Chao frowned, his eyes were smiling into a crescent moon, Ma Chao took a sip of tea, chewed the tea leaves, and said to Chen Xing: "Since you think it's a poisonous miasma, then go to the horse pen and grab a handful of wild grass to eat." ”
Chen Xing was quite stubborn, thinking that this problem was obvious, it must be a problem of poisonous miasma, and he really went to the horse circle, Ma Chao got up and followed, and Xin Zhi also followed. Chen Xing grabbed a large handful of weeds, put them in his mouth and chewed vigorously.
It looks like a horse. Ma Chao began to like Chen Xing, so he looked at it with a smile, Chen Xing finished eating, and said to Ma Chao: "How is it?" It's not a matter of grass! As soon as he finished saying this, he felt unbearable abdominal pain, and the sweat on his face came out all of a sudden.
Ma Chao said, hurry back, pour mung bean soup, if there is no mung bean soup, pour chili water, anyway, just let Chen Xing spit it out. This is the army of Hunan, mung bean soup is not available, but chili water is indispensable.
The chef took the scoop and poured it, Chen Xing finally spit out the poisonous weed, and the whole person was finally a little refreshed, Ma Chao asked with a smile: "Do you want to take it?" Chen Xing said happily: "Convinced!" ”
Ma Chao laughed and asked Ma what is his reaction now? Xin Shu said that the horses have been lying down and getting up for days, not eating grass and not drinking water. Ma Chao thought for a while, said to pour salt and water, and then pricked the blood with a needle in Yutang to bleed, pulled out all the grass in the horse pen, temporarily fed some food, and when he recovered, he was eating grass.
Xin Zhi was happy to hear this, and suddenly thought, what will Ma do in the future? Chen Xing gritted his teeth and said: "This grass poison does not kill people, I'll try it and find something that can be eaten to feed the horses!" Ma Chao didn't speak, silently remembering Chen Xing's name.
Xin Zhi felt that Ma was fine, so he bowed to Ma Chao, saying that there was still a reluctant invitation, Ma Chao said, it turned out that Xin Zhi felt that it was dangerous for Nameless to go for a few days, and wanted to ask Ma Chao to take a few people to find Nameless.
