41. Set things right

The next day, Hong'er came to Ma's Mansion at a slight dawn, and when she saw Ma Chao practicing in the house, Hong'er shouted: "Meng Qi." โ€

Ma Chao saw Hong'er and greeted him, "Hong'er." โ€

Hong'er asked, "Meng Qi, is everything ready?" Ma Chao nodded solemnly, "Well, it's ready." โ€

Hong'er looked at Ma Chao and felt a little guilty, "Meng Qi, I'm sorry, I caused you to get into danger with me." Ma Chao held Hong'er's hand and said, "What kind of stupid words, you and I have been born and died for so many years, and we failed that time." โ€

Hong'er smiled, "Okay, I'll go get ready." After walking a few steps, as if remembering something, he turned around and said, "Meng Qi, pour you wine in a while, don't drink it." Ma Chao nodded, indicating that he knew.

Hong'er went to the kitchen first, and saw that the cook made a big table of dishes, but there was still something missing, Hong'er thought for a long time, it was 'fish', Hong'er personally made a 'steamed sea bass', and then she specially prepared it for Fufeng.

Hong'er hid the sword under the table, and Ma Chao hid the โ–กโ–ก in the corridor, just waiting for Fufeng to arrive, waiting for him to come to a Hongmen banquet, which must make him have no return.

Fufeng was very bold, he came alone, Hong'er saw him coming, and stepped forward to greet him, "Fufeng, you are here, are you quite punctual!" Fufeng walked into Hong'er, "You invite me, why don't I come?" โ€

Saying that, when they came to the courtyard, Fufeng saw Ma Chao and saluted: "General Ma, don't come unharmed." Ma Chao also replied: "I haven't greeted you from afar, and I hope to forgive my sins." โ€

Hong'er sat down next to Fufeng, Ma Chao sat next to Hong'er, Senior Sister Jing sat next to Ma Chao, the four of them sat around the table, Hong'er clapped her hands, "Wine." "A group of maidservants came up with wine.

Hong'er took the wine glass, poured wine for Fufeng herself, and then poured another glass for herself, "Please." โ€

Fufeng saw that none of them moved or drank, and seeing that he didn't drink, Hong'er raised his glass, "Please." His mouth touched the rim of the cup, and he was about to drink it, but Fufeng knocked the cup away, "If you want to kill me, you don't have to pay for yourself!" โ€

As soon as she heard this, Hong'er pretended not to understand, poured another glass of wine, and drank it, "What are you talking about?" It's just a pity that I have a good glass of wine. โ€

Everyone drank when they saw that Hong'er was fine, Hong'er picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched the vegetables for Fufeng, sandwiched a piece of fish, put it in the Fufeng bowl, and said, "Try it, I made it myself, see if it tastes good." โ€

Fufeng lowered his head to eat the fish, Hong'er took advantage of his bowing head, took out the sword hidden in the fish's belly, and stabbed Fufeng, Fufeng reacted quickly enough, grabbed Hong'er's hand, and asked, "You want to kill me?" โ€

With all his might, he stabbed at Fufeng, "Today is either you die or I die." Fu Feng sneered: "What a red child, you really know how to learn and use it, this is what I told you at the beginning, and today you used this trick to deal with me." โ€

When Fufeng told Hong'er this story, Hong'er carefully wrote it down, and he used this trick to assassinate Wu Wangyi, but he didn't expect that hundreds of years later, Hong'er also used this trick to assassinate Fufeng.

Hong'er took advantage of this kung fu to scratch Fufeng's shoulder, and Fufeng knocked the short sword away, and Ma Chao also brought โ–กโ–ก to fight with Fufeng.

At this time, a group of soldiers came, holding โ–กโ–ก in their hands, all the arrows were wound, but they did not start, Ma Chao was injured in a few rounds and was defeated, Hong'er went to see Ma Chao, "Meng Qi, are you okay?" Hong'er asked with concern, "Don't worry, I'm fine." โ€

Ma Chao was about to step forward, but was stopped by Hong'er, and he couldn't resist it, Hong'er tied the silver needle that had been prepared long ago to the arrow, and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, you help me hold it first." Ma Chao nodded.

Hong'er stepped forward and fought with Fufeng, Fufeng is now the fish in the kettle, the turtle in the urn, if he is let run away now, he will let the tiger return to the mountain, leaving the troubles, everything is in vain, Hong'er continued to deal with him, and released several poisonous needles in a row,

It's a pity, he knows that she will, how can she beat him? Hong'er was caught by Fufeng, a cold and sharp sword, restraining Hong'er, Ma Chao didn't dare to act rashly.

Fufeng whispered in Hong'er's ear: "Hong'er, why did you kill me? โ€

Hong'er's hands clenched into fists, "Don't make excuses for your murder, for my own greedy and narrow-minded heart!" โ€

Hong'er saw that Fufeng didn't move, and then said: "Fufeng, surrender, you have been poisoned and can't escape." โ€

It turned out that the short sword in the fish belly just now was poisonous, Fufeng looked at the palm, there was a ball of cyan in the center of the palm, it was a peacock gall, and Fufeng's nose was a little sour, "Hong'er, don't worry, I won't hurt you." โ€

I give you โ–กโ–ก, and you give me Caixia.

After speaking, he pushed Hong'er away, and Hong'er shouted, "Don't let go of arrows." โ€

Fortunately, it was said in time, the soldiers didn't make a move, and Hong'er picked up the arrow he had prepared just now and shot it at Fufeng, Fufeng dodged, the arrow hit his waist, Ma Chao wanted to chase, Hong'er stopped him and said, "Meng Qi, don't chase it." โ€

Ma Chao was puzzled, "Why Hong'er, do you really want to let the tiger return to the mountain?" Hong'er sighed, "If the peacock gall is โ–กโ–ก, he will definitely die." Hong'er didn't know if it was right or wrong to do this, but at the moment when she just shot the arrow, she thought about giving up, but she had to send the arrow.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

After all, Fufeng and Hong'er have been together for a long time, and they have had many good memories, they were masters and apprentices, friends, and relatives.

Besides, Fufeng didn't stand up to Hong'er, just now, his life was hanging by a thread, he still cared about Hong'er's feelings, he didn't kill Hong'er, all this seemed to be Hong'er's revenge, Hong'er didn't want to kill him, but, hey, it's a pity that they were born in troubled times, it's a pity that she already has someone else in her heart, it's a pity that she didn't see his true face earlier.

The matter did not end because of this, Ma Chao and Hong'er returned to the camp with the soldiers, Kong Ming had already sat in the camp tent and waited for Ma Chao, Hong'er and Ma Chao saw Kong Ming and saluted first, "I've seen the military division." "Kong Ming came to Xingshi first to ask for the guilt.

"Ma Chao, do you know what the crime of transferring troops without authorization is?" Ma Chao knelt down and said, "Ma Chao is guilty, please punish the military advisor." โ€

"Remember that you are a first-time offender, and the sin will be written down for the time being, and the sentence will be changed to a hundred rods."

Hong'er pleaded for Ma Chao, "Strategist, Meng Qi did this for a reason, please ask the Strategist to find out." Kong Ming shook the feather fan lightly, "Is there a reason for the incident?" Is it to kill for you? โ€

Hong'er didn't hide it when she saw that Kong Ming knew it, "Since the military advisor knows it, then it should be dealt with fairly, and ask the military advisor to punish Hong'er, I am willing to take Meng Qi to suffer a hundred rods." Ma Chao pulled Hong'er, "Hong'er, you are a woman, how can you stand it?" I'll do it anyway. โ€

Hong'er whispered: "I hurt you today, how can I let you be punished again?" Kong Ming persuaded on the side: "Hong'er, I won't be exempted from this cane punishment just because you and I are husband and wife?" โ€

Hong'er knelt down and bowed again, and said, "I know, please punish the military advisor." Ma Chao stopped, "Military advisor, Hong'er is injured and can't stand it." Kong Ming saw that Hong'er was stubborn, so he had to be ruthless, "Well, seeing that you are a woman, you will be sentenced to thirty canes, which will be executed by a female officer in the army." โ€

"Meng Qi, it's okay, don't worry, wait for me outside." Ma Chao couldn't bear to look at it, so he walked out of the camp, and Hong'er said to Kong Ming: "Does the military advisor want to see my ugliness?" Kong Ming couldn't bear to look at it, so he sent others to supervise it.

Hong'er was the only one left in the camp tent, Hong'er quickly took off the leg knee pads made a few days ago, and padded them, at this time, they had already moved the stool, Hong'er lay on the stool, kept her mouth closed, did not scream, half a cup of tea, they finished fighting.

After helping Hong'er up, he went out, Hong'er quickly took off his leg pads again, and continued to tie them to his legs, not letting anyone see them, Kong Ming and Ma Chao came in, Ma Chao held Hong'er and asked, "How is Hong'er, are you okay?" Hong'er shook her head and said, "I'm Hong'er, what can I do with this injury?" โ€

Hong'er said to Kong Ming: "Is there anything else wrong with the military advisor?" If it's okay, we'll take our leave. After speaking, Ma Chao helped Hong'er to walk back, Hong'er limped and soon walked to Ma's mansion, Yao'er had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, and when she saw Hong'er like this, she asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" โ€

Hong'er whispered, "It's okay, it's okay." Ma Chao inadvertently said that he leaked his mouth, "I just beat thirty military sticks in the barracks." โ€

"What? Why did Daddy beat his mother? Hong'er interrupted him, "Forget it, he's also on business." โ€

Touching Yao'er's head and smiling, she lifted her skirt, "Dangdang, you see, I'm not so stupid, I beat it, if it is changed to Meng Qi, you may be worse than me now." โ€

Hong'er pretended to be okay and ran two steps, but the wound was still a little painful, and said to Ma Chao: "Now I have difficulty moving, so I have to live here for a few days, and I have to trouble Meng Qi." โ€

Ma Chao was also very happy, "It's okay, after you leave, I will ask someone to clean the house every day, and you will live in it in a while." โ€

Hong'er thanked her and went back to the house, the furnishings in the house still haven't changed, Hong'er is comfortable to live here, she should relax and adjust her mentality, Fufeng, I don't know how he is?

Hong'er felt very sad, sometimes thinking of him in the dead of night, thinking of the grass house in the mountains, Hong'er always held the red jade Xiao sent by Fufeng in her hand, whenever she thought of him, she would blow a song, thinking that it was good to have Fufeng by her side, but it was a pity that it was too late to say anything.

If Fufeng hadn't died, would he have come back to find Hong'er? Will he come back for revenge? But what will happen to Hong'er then? Hong'er doesn't know, but the most important thing now is that the relationship between Hong'er and Kong Ming is getting stiffer and stiffer, and Hong'er has to find a way to ease it.
