Niu Bolt sang a little song proudly, took out a small wine gourd from his pocket, and took a sip, his huge nose, which was frozen red by the cold wind, became more and more ruddy.

"Ahh

As soon as he thought that he was going to get what he wanted tonight, Niu Bolt felt more and more comfortable, and the heat surging under his lower abdomen did not dissipate with the cold wind, but became more and more hot, and Niu Bolt tied the wine gourd around his waist, and was about to ride his horse to the carriage and laugh with the two beauties, when suddenly he heard a sound of horses' hooves behind him.

As soon as Niu Bolt turned around, he saw that there seemed to be a black shadow coming from behind in the distance, and he felt a little strange, and he couldn't help but look over curiously, could it be that some part of the cavalry of the intruding army was coming from behind? He didn't remember that there were cavalry in Wuchang City.

"Or are the officers and soldiers catching up?" This may be that the surname was driven away by him as soon as it came out of Niu Bolt's mind, not to mention whether the officers and soldiers were so fast, even if the officers and soldiers rushed to the city of Wuchang, even if there were only some remnants of the defeated generals who defended the city, it would take at least a day or two to break through the city, and it would be impossible for them to fly from the sky as heavenly soldiers and generals.

The bullbolt looked into the distance suspiciously, stretched his neck and kept looking.

The sound of the horse's hooves grew louder and louder, and the ground trembled continuously, and the bullbolt scolded in a low voice: "What bastard dares to gallop on such a road, are they not afraid that the horse will stumble and fall to their death?" ”

Originally, Niu Bolt didn't think that any guy would dare to play with his life like this, and dare to ride a horse on such a muddy road, but now it seems that he miscalculated, it turns out that there are really people in the world who are not afraid of death.

At this time, Ma Tao, the head of the escort, came over and said to Niu Bolt with an anxious face: "Niu Gongzi, the sound of the horse's hooves seems to be fierce, it shouldn't be our brother, you hurry to the front of the convoy, so that people can protect you." ”

Ma Tao's words were very tactful, but the meaning of the cow bolt was understood, and his meaning was to let the cow bolt go to the front, and if there was anything, he could escape first.

But Niu Bolt didn't appreciate it, and his little eyes glared and shouted, "What can it be?" You don't even know who is coming on the other side, so you let Ben Gongzi go ahead, if it's a friendly army, wouldn't it be a joke. ”

When Ma Tao heard this, he was so anxious that he almost knelt down, "Childe, don't forget, when we came out, there were no brothers in the horse team in the city, and now there are ten ** officers and soldiers who are here, you better hurry up and go to the front, otherwise it will be troublesome later!" ”

After speaking, Ma Tao stretched out his hand and pulled the reins of the bull bolt, wanting to forcibly pull him away, but was glared at by the cow bolt, "Bastard, don't forget what your identity is, you dare to be so rude to this son, you widen your dog eyes and take a good look, what is coming behind is his mother's officers and soldiers." When he said the last sentence, Ma Tao's tone changed to the sound of a rooster crowing.

At this time, the cavalry that had already come very close had already caught their eyes, and a bright red banner and the same red cloak were dancing in the cold wind!

The voice of the bullbolt changed suddenly, and the stubby finger pointed at the cavalry who was rapidly approaching him, and said in a trembling voice: "It's not good, that's the officers and soldiers, it's the officers and soldiers who are coming, everyone run quickly!" ”

The sound was loud enough for everyone nearby to hear, but it made Ma Tao so angry that he almost fell off his horse. What is this bastard doing, isn't it messy enough? When the officers and soldiers came, everyone saw it, but when you shouted at them like this, the morale of the whole army was lost by you.

"Shut up!" Ma Tao couldn't help it anymore, did this guy kill everyone? He swung his whip and struck it hard on the buttocks of the horse where the bullbolt was sitting, making a crunch.

The horse couldn't help but neigh in pain, and ran forward frantically like its front hooves, no matter how much the bullbolt could not be pulled.

The frightened and angry Niu Bolt turned blue with fright, and shouted angrily: "Ma Tao, you bastard, you hurry up and pull me down!" ”

Ma Tao followed him and said apologetically: "Young master, I'm sorry, the officers and soldiers are coming, and if you don't run, it will be over!" ”

Niu Bolt struggled to control the horse that was running wildly, and shouted, "You fool, even if you want to run, you will take away my beauties, especially the mother and daughter, if you lose them, this young master will pick your skin!" ”

Ma Tao was also a little crying and laughing, when was it, he still remembered the women he snatched, did he really want to die?

As soon as Ma Tao and Niu Bolt ran, many soldiers in the convoy also panicked, and they abandoned the car and fled one after another, and for a time the long convoy suddenly became a mess, and thousands of soldiers also dispersed in a hurry, and even the driver who drove the car jumped out of the car and ran to the wilderness on the side of the road.

At this time, no one had time to pay attention to the food and treasure on the cart, let alone the women in the seven or eight carts behind.

After a quarter of an hour or so, the cavalry behind came to the side of this row of abandoned convoys, and thousands of cavalry soon surrounded the hundreds of carts. The middle-aged officer led by him had a dark face and wore a delicate and sturdy fish-scale armor, and he was the guerrilla black iron of the cavalry battalion.

Black Iron jumped off his horse and walked to a cart, where he drew his long knife and slashed at a box, and the copper lock fell. Hei Tie opened the box and saw that the silver white light was shining in the sunlight, and it turned out that the box was full of pieces of silver, even the black iron who thought he was "well-informed" was dazzled by this silver light.

"Damn, it's all silver." Black Iron's face showed joy, and he turned to the surrounding cavalry and shouted, "Everyone open the boxes and bags of the car and see what is inside?" ”

"Yes!"

"Ping Pong Ping Pong"

Soon, the convoy was filled with the sound of metal crashing and untying sacks.

Soon, a cavalryman came and reported: "My lord, this place is full of gold, silver, jewels, and food!" ”

Hei Tie asked in surprise, "Have food?" Have you figured out how many there are? ”

"My lord, according to the humble estimate, there are about 300 carts of grain, which is about 3,000 stones according to the calculation of ten stones per cart."

"Okay!" Hei Tie smiled when he heard this, he knew very well that in this troubled era, food was the foundation of life, and the silver that could neither be eaten nor drunk was secondary.

Hei Tie waved his hand: "Okay, immediately take these carts back to Wuchang City." ”

"My lord, aren't we going after those thieves?"

Hei Tie shook his head: "Don't chase it, even if we kill them ten times, we can't compare to these things, okay, hurry back, the huge people must be in a hurry!" ”

Hei Tie was urging the cavalrymen to turn around and drive back, when a cavalryman came to report: "My lord, my lord, the brothers have also found some women in the cart!" ”

"What, woman?" Black Iron was stunned

Although it has only been an hour now, the sky has gradually darkened, and the night is about to fall, but the team of black iron has not yet returned, in a study in the inner courtyard of the governor's yamen, Pang Gang is pacing anxiously, next to him sat Li Yuan, Wang Zhi, Bin Shiqian and other generals, everyone looked at the anxious Pang Gang, although they had the heart to comfort, but they did not dare to speak out when they saw Pang Gang's unkind look. As Pang Gang's official duties became bigger and bigger, there were more and more soldiers and horses under his command, and the majesty on his body became more and more heavy, and the idle sergeant officers would be worried when they saw the thick majesty of not being angry and self-righteous on his body, and only Wang Zhi and Li Yuan, who had followed him from the beginning, dared to speak out when he was in a bad mood, but today's black iron his unauthorized pursuit of behavior is a taboo in the army, and everyone dare not speak out.

After a long time, Pang just stopped and snorted coldly: "If this guy comes back this time, the official must punish him heavily!" ”

Pang Gang was really angry today, originally Niu Jinxing left him a mess and a big burden, and Hei Tie actually led the cavalry of his headquarters to pursue the enemy army without authorization, what kind of behavior is this? To put it nicely, it is to attack without authorization, and to put it badly, it is to ignore military discipline, which cannot be tolerated by any military discipline.

What's more, this cavalry battalion was formed by Pang Gang after two years of hard work, during which it took countless efforts and time, and it is still less than 5,000 horsemen.

Wang Zhi and the others all understood Pang Gang's mood, but they just sat quietly and didn't say anything, even Li Yuan, who was the most rude in the peacetime, didn't dare to say anything, and honestly sat aside and waited for news.

When it was completely dark, Pang Gang finally stopped pacing and asked in a deep voice, "Have you not taken back the night when you went out to contact?" ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and finally Bin Shiqian stood up and said stubbornly: "Lord Qiqi, I haven't come back yet, it is estimated that General Hei has attacked too far and has not been contacted for a while, but my lord does not have to worry, General Hei has thousands of iron horsemen under his command, and he will not suffer." ”

Pang Gang's face was so cold that he could hang frost: "Bastard!" This black iron, I think he is living too comfortably this time, and he has forgotten our military regulations, it seems that this official is going to review the military regulations for him! ”

Pang Gang's words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, and Wang Zhi and the others secretly shivered when they heard it, and they couldn't help but secretly say in their hearts: "Lao Hei, my brothers can't help you, you can ask for more blessings, this time the adults are really angry." ”

"Report!" Shipper's voice rang out loud outside.

Pang Gang, who was inside, was angry and said, "Come in!" ”

Shi Bowen strode in and said to Pang Gang with a happy face: "Lord Qiyu, General Hei is back." ”

"What, Black Iron is back!" Pang Gang's voice was three points of annoyance, three points of surprise and four points of surprise.

"Exactly, not only did General Black come back with all the cavalry battalions, but they also brought hundreds of carts, all loaded with grain, gold and silver."

"What? Hundreds of cartloads of grain and silver? There was a burst of exclamations in the study, "Quick, hurry up and go out and have a look!" ”

At this time, the lights outside the governor's yamen were bright, and Heitie triumphantly dismounted and stood on the steps outside the gate, and in front of the yamen were the brothers of the baggage battalion, who were hurrying to dismantle the silver taels and grain from the cart and prepare to move them into the inner courtyard of the governor's yamen.

"What's going on?"

A voice appeared behind Hei Tie, and Hei Tie looked at it, and it turned out to be Pang Gang standing behind him with an unkind face, looking at him with a gloomy face.

Seeing Pang Gang's face, Hei Tie Shicai's joy suddenly flashed, and he realized that he pursued the enemy without authorization without getting Pang Gang's order, which was a violation of military law, and it would not be too much to cut off his head if he seriously pursued this crime.

Hei Tie, who was frightened into a cold sweat, lowered his head and bowed and said, "My lord, please explain to General Rong, this is the case."

It took Hei Tie a long time to stumble the reason for his pursuit, and hugged the fruit up, and then looked at Pang Gang with a nervous expression, waiting for his boss's fate.

Pang Gang pondered for a while before he said in a deep voice: "Hei Tie, you attack without a report, this is a taboo in the army, and it is also not allowed by military law, but I think of your meritorious service, and you have recovered thousands of stones of grain for the army, this time the official will not punish you heavily." For the time being, you will be dismissed from your guerrilla position, demoted to a thousand households, and temporarily command the cavalry battalion. ”

After listening to Pang Gang's words, Hei Tie's originally hanging heart was relaxed, and he realized that in this cold weather, a thin cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

Wiping his forehead casually, Hei Tie suddenly remembered something, and said to Pang Gang, who was about to walk towards the gate: "My lord, stay here, the last general, when I was chasing the thief, I found that there were more than ten women in the thief's convoy, and I interrogated which women, they claimed that they were taken captive, and they didn't dare to be specialized, so I hereby ask the lord to show me how to deal with it!" ”

Pang Gang was a little annoyed when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Hei Tie, what do you mean, are you a soldier on the first day or what, you are a guerrilla general who can't even deal with this little thing, this official sees that you don't even want to do a thousand households, you just go and be a general!" ”

After scolding for a while, the evil fire in Pang Gang's heart disappeared for the most part, and seeing that Hei Tie was scolded so much that he didn't even dare to speak, Pang Gang was secretly amused in his heart, and then said: "Okay, don't put on an angry little daughter-in-law, this is not your black general's surname." Say, what the hell is going on? ”

Pang Gang knew that although Hei Tie was not a wise general, he would never be so stupid that he couldn't even solve a little thing by himself, and even had to report to himself when he rescued a few women.

Hei Tie saw Pang Gang's face soften, and knew that his boss's had almost disappeared, so he walked over and whispered beside Pang Gang: "My lord, I originally knew that I shouldn't bother my lord about this matter, but I found that two of these women were the family members of Feng Longxiu, the former governor of Hubei, and I didn't dare to be good at it, so I didn't dare to specialize, so that's it."

Hei Tie didn't continue, and looked at Pang Gang with a look of "you know".

"Oh? Feng Longxiu's family? Pang Gang muttered a word in his mouth and was silent.

Originally, Pang Gang wanted to send all these captive women to the baggage camp, and if they were sent to their families to let them go home, or let them join relatives and friends, if there was no place to go, they could be brought back to Shandong after the war, so that they could work on their own, or they would be married to others, but if it was Feng Longxiu's family, it would be a little troublesome, and if it was not handled well, it would be easy to cause criticism, which was what made Pang Gang scratch his head.

Thinking of this, Pang Gang couldn't help glaring at Hei Tie, this guy is too capable of causing trouble, it seems that it is too light to demote him to a thousand households, and next time he will be reduced to a hundred households.

Pang Gang didn't care about it, the sweat on Hei Tie's forehead came out again, and seeing the face of his boss, Hei Tie, who secretly screamed badly, quickly opened the thick curtain of a carriage behind him, and shouted inside: "Come out, you have returned to the Yamen of the governor of Wuchang Mansion, you can tell my family if you have any grievances." ”

As soon as Hei Tie's words fell, two figures came out of the car, and two beautiful beauties appeared in front of everyone.

"Hiss"

Pang Gang couldn't help but be secretly taken aback, it stands to reason that Pang Gang is not a person who has never seen a beautiful woman, not to mention that her concubine Chen Yuanyuan herself is the type that looks like a disaster to the country and the people, just say that Li Xuezhu, Kong Ruolan and Wei Manyao are first-class beauties, but when Pang Gang saw the mother and daughter at first glance, he couldn't help but feel amazing from the bottom of his heart.

Pang Gang didn't expect that the wife of Hubei Governor Feng Longxiu would be so young and beautiful, and she was just beautiful, she looked so similar to her daughter, people who understood knew that they were mother and daughter, and they didn't know that they thought they were sisters.

At this time, the mother and daughter who got out of the car stood in front of Pang Gang and said to him after saying a blessing: "The surviving Feng Li and Feng Xuan'er have seen adults, and adults are blessed!" ”

Seeing that the mother and daughter who had just gotten out of the car were looking at themselves timidly, Pang Gang couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, the ancients said that the red face is a disaster, it seems that I am honest, if a woman is too beautiful, it is indeed easy to cause trouble, not to mention in this feudal society, let alone the future generations in four or five hundred years will not be spared.

Pang Gang sighed slightly, took a few steps forward and said kindly to the mother and daughter: "Mrs. Feng, Miss Feng, you are too polite, please get up quickly, Pang is a minister in the same hall as Lord Feng, and now Lord Feng has been martyred for the country, Mrs. Feng and Miss Feng have fallen into such a disaster, how can Pang not care?" It's cold outside, so please come in! ”
