24. Return home

Ma Mengshi said: "His Royal Highness the Tiger King, I, Yang Lang, don't want to be a prime minister, and ask His Royal Highness the Tiger King not to be strong." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Furthermore, even if you want to invite me Yang Lang as the prime minister, you don't have to rush for a while, and ignore the military situation, isn't this putting the cart before the horse? ”

The Tiger King thought for a moment and said, "Duke Ma is right, indeed, now is the time to deal with the major affairs of the military aircraft, I don't know what Duke Ma thinks about this big war?" ”

"This time the Great Wu Guoxing troops invaded our border, our army fought back bravely, and has achieved a great victory, its north and middle roads have retreated, I believe that the south road is difficult to support alone, and it will retreat in the near future, so to speak, this war is no longer a cause for concern."

Lu Changming nodded and said, "I also think what Duke Ma said is good, I believe it won't take too long to hear the news of the enemy's Eighth Legion retreating." ”

In this regard, the Tiger King has no opinion, the three-way army, the two roads are no longer able to fight, how long can the remaining roads be supported?

Ma Mengshi said: "His Royal Highness the Tiger King, His Royal Highness the Sixth." In this battle, the soldiers of the two battalions of our Tianma Legion fought continuously for dozens of days, all of which went deep behind enemy lines, and fought hard until now, and finally repelled the enemy's attack. But the soldiers of our two battalions are now tired, they have lost a lot of weapons, and their horses have not regained their grandeur, so it can be said that they are tired and tired, and our army has no strength to fight again. ”

The Tiger King was stunned: "Duke Ma, what do you mean by this?" ”

"This war is almost over, and the main mission of my Pegasus Legion is to garrison Pegasus City in case the orcs go south. Although so far, I have not received any news that the orcs are heading south, but I can't help but guard against it, since the battle with the Great Wu Kingdom has ended, I want to lead my troops north to Tianma City tomorrow to prevent the orcs from going south. ”

The Tiger King was dumbfounded, and the Tiger Roaring Sky was also dumbfounded, they originally wanted Ma Mengshi to stay in Silver Lake City for a while. During this period of time, I believe that there will be certain contradictions between the Pegasus Legion and the Shenlu Legion, as well as the private armies of the nobles, as long as there is a contradiction, they will be able to take advantage of the contradictions, and when the time comes, they will be able to contact the major nobles to join forces to deal with the Ma family. How do you know that Ma Mengshi is as good as a ghost, and even said that he will return north tomorrow, and there is only one night, as long as the Tianma Legion does not leave the barracks, what contradictions can be made?

"Duke Ma, why rush to return north? The soldiers of the Tianma Legion have been fighting for dozens of days in a row, and they are already very tired, so they just stay in Silver Lake City to rest and recuperate, and by the way, let all the departments see the majesty of the Ma family's army. This sounds very beautiful, but it is provocative in the bones.

"No need, His Highness the Tiger King." Ma Mengshi said with a smile, "It is only half a month's journey from the north of Silver Lake City to Tianma City, and it is not too late for us to return to Tianma City to rest." Although we have not yet received news of the orcs heading south, there is no guarantee that the orcs will not go south. I, Ma Mengshi, was ordered to garrison Tianma City, just to defend against the orcs going south, I am not in Tianma City for a day, this heart is not at ease, while the war is almost over, I also just rushed back to Tianma City, in order to arrange all kinds of defense work. ”

No matter what you say, Ma Mengshi must return north to Tianma City. This is something that the Tiger King can't stop. Because, Ma Mengshi's duty is to garrison Tianma City to prevent the orcs from going south. Before, because of the Eastern Aggression of the Great Wu Kingdom, the Tianma Legion was transferred south, so there was nothing to say, and Ma Mengshi also led his troops to fight south. Now that the war is over, it's the duty of the people to return north, how can you stop it?

You don't want Ma Mengshi to go south to the Rising Sun Province to fight against the Eighth Army of the Great Wu Kingdom, right? If this is the case, the army is bound to mutiny.

The soldiers of the two battalions of the Tianma Legion first fought a series of battles with the Fourth Army of the Great Wu Kingdom in Wanshan Province, killing Fu Anning and preventing the enemy troops on the northern road from advancing. Then, he was ordered to go south to support the Shenlu Legion. They went deep behind enemy lines and destroyed the enemy's logistics base. The enemy's Fifth Army had to retreat. It can be described as a meritorious service.

If you still want to transfer the Ma Mengshi Department to fight in the south now, you are not afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers of the whole army, and you are not afraid that the two legions of Shenlu and Feilong will not be able to raise their heads and be human beings in the future? "The two legions are incompetent, and they have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but they have to rely on the Pegasus Legion of 13,000 people to break the siege, so they can win." If this is the case, there will be no need for these two legions to exist in the future. And Lu Changming and Long Haimeng simply ordered to commit suicide to thank the world, they can't afford to lose this person.

As for Ma Mengshi's fear that the orcs would go south, everyone knew that this was an excuse, but this excuse made it impossible for anyone to say two words of opposition. First of all, no one can guarantee whether the orcs really won't go south, in case the orcs really go south, and Ma Mengshi is not there, Tianma City is lost, who will be responsible? You?

Secondly, Ma Mengshi is so anxious to return north, in the final analysis, she is loyal to her duties, and it is her duty to guard Tianma City. People are so faithful to their duties, but you oppose it, can you oppose it?

Therefore, even if Tiger King and Tiger Roaring Heaven wanted to oppose a thousand, they found that they couldn't oppose it at all.

"Duke Ma is worried about state affairs and is loyal to his duties, and he is really the biggest loyal and good general of my Tiger Kingdom. In that case, then Duke Ma will return north tomorrow. However, Duke Ma, you also know that the kingdom is now lacking an air force, in case the air troops of the Great Wu State attack, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses, in order to deal with the air troops of the Great Wu State, I also ask Duke Ma to leave the Pegasus Battalion for our general headquarters to listen to, how about it? ”

The Tiger King's vision is poisonous enough, and he can see the important role of the Air Force in the Pegasus Legion, so he has the intention to leave the Pegasus Battalion, once the Pegasus Battalion stays, is the Pegasus Battalion still surnamed Ma?

Ma Mengshi smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Tiger King is also a person who knows the soldiers, you should know that once the orcs go south, they will definitely cross the Hengshan Mountain Range, and the Pegasus Camp is the only means that my Ma family has tried their best to cultivate to deal with the tactics of the orcs, I will leave the Pegasus Battalion, in case the orcs really go south, our army will have no way to fight, in this way, the orcs will cross the Hengshan Mountain Range and enter Beicang Province, and the entire Beicang Province will become a killing ground for the orcs." So, please forgive me for not being able to say yes. ”

"Duke Ma, even if you don't keep all of it, it's better to keep half of it." The Tiger King begged again.

"His Royal Highness the Tiger King, my Pegasus Battalion is only 8,000 soldiers, these 8,000 soldiers have to defend such a long Hengshan Mountain Range, and the strength itself is not enough, if you leave half more, it must be impossible to defend, so you can't stay, please forgive His Royal Highness the Tiger King."

The Tiger King repeatedly begged to leave part of the Pegasus Battalion, and Ma Mengshi was not stupid, unless her head was now stupid for the donkey to kick, otherwise, it was absolutely impossible to leave a single soldier. Therefore, no matter what King Ren Hu said, Ma Mengshi is two words: "No." ”

After some more discussion, Ma Mengshi, Yang Siqi, and Ma Guohua's family of three left the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion and returned to the military camp of the Tianma Legion. After returning to the barracks, Ma Mengshi immediately ordered: "From now until tomorrow when we return north, everyone is not allowed to leave the barracks for half a step, and if there is a violation, they will be immediately beheaded." ”

Then, there was the second order: "Tonight, the whole army will be under martial law, enter the first level of combat readiness, and if anyone else approaches and there is no justifiable reason, kill me." ”

The soldiers obeyed it awe-inspiringly. They all understood that although they were in Silver Lake City, in terms of danger, it was better than camping in the wild, so for the sake of safety, they must not let their guard down, otherwise, they would not know what was going on when their heads fell off.

That night, Hu Xiaotian sent someone to invite Ma Mengshi and others to the banquet, saying that it was to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Ma Mengshi and others. Ma Mengshi sent someone to refuse, and the excuse he made was also extremely bad: "Hua'er is a little unwell, I am uneasy, I should accompany him." The banquet of the Sixth Highness, please forgive Mengshi for not being able to attend. ”

Excuse me? Forgive the ghost. Who doesn't know that there is a life magician, and what diseases cannot be cured? Ma Mengshi clearly didn't want to come to their banquet, for fear that there would be some tricks involved. However, people only have a son, saying that the son is not feeling well, and the mother wants to accompany the son, what can you say? Can you get someone to drink with a big man like you without accompanying your son? Aren't you looking for a fight?

"Uncle Ancestor, the Ma family's rebellion has been revealed, and the Ma family must be eradicated as soon as possible." In the middle of the night, in the city lord's mansion, when Tiger Roaring Heaven was discussing with the Tiger King, Tiger Roaring Heaven said so.

"Xiaotian, you made a big mistake today."

"Uncle Ancestor, who remembers that there is such a rule in the Divine Law of Light." The tiger roared and screamed.

"I'm not talking about this matter, I'm saying that your trouble with Yang Siqi is useless at all, Yang Siqi is important to the Ma family, but after all, he has the Guang family as a backer, it's not something you can win with a few words, asking him for trouble, it will only make Ma Mengshi more alienated from us, it's really unwise." Tiger King criticized.

Tiger Roar lowered his head.

The Tiger King sighed: "In the end, you are still a young man, people have a beautiful woman, and you even have a son, what else can you do?" ”

Back then, the second prince and the third prince both went to Tianma City, ready to trouble Yang Siqi, although the sixth prince did not go, but the sixth prince's heart was also angry, Ma Mengshi, a beauty, fell into Yang Siqi's arms, although four or five years have passed, but Hu Xiaotian's heart is still very uncomfortable. Seeing the kindness and love of a family of three, he really couldn't help but trouble Yang Siqi, but he unexpectedly kicked the big iron plate.

"Lord Uncle, there are only 13,000 people in Ma Mengshi's department, and there are 100,000 people in our Tiger Legion, and you have Uncle Ancestor, or take advantage of tonight to kill them." Tiger Roaring Sky proposed.

The Tiger King thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "This is not a matter of course." ”

"Uncle Ancestor, this is a rare opportunity."

"It's too chilling to do this, if we do this, I'm afraid that Lu Changming will be reversed sooner or later. It's hard to hide the mouths of the people of the world. "Ma Mengshi made a great contribution, but he was robbed and killed in his own city, and the whole army was wiped out, even if you find any excuse, can you cover the mouth of the people in the world? In this way, it will only chill the nobles of the whole country. Loyal as the Ma family, meritorious as the Ma family let the royal family kill on trumped-up charges, so who else in the world will work for you?

Tiger Xiaotian said, "Say that they intend to assassinate me." ”

"I'm not absolutely sure that I can leave Ma Mengshi." The Tiger King speaks the key point.

Tiger Xiaotian was stunned: "Uncle Ancestor is the strongest person in our kingdom." ”

"Ma Mengshi was able to kill Fu Anning in a duel, although it was said to be a potion of power, but his strength had definitely reached the level of a third-level battle saint. If she adds that mount demonic beast, the two saint-level combined, it is not too difficult for me to defeat them, but if I want to spare their lives, it is very difficult, even if I can kill them, but once they blow themselves up, even my life will have to be taken. ”

"Also, even if Ma Mengshi is dead, but the Ma family still has Ma Jiuming and Yan Na, these two are now greatly strengthened, one-on-one, I'm afraid that they may not be able to defeat Ma Jiuming, once the two of them join forces, I'm afraid that I will have to hate. And when the news spread, the other Three Law Saints and the Seven War Saints were only afraid that everyone would be cold, and when the time came, they might not be able to contribute to my Tiger Family. Therefore, this matter has to be done slowly. "The Tiger King has fully considered it, although the opportunity is rare, but he really didn't grasp it.

"If you don't get rid of Ma Mengshi today, let the tiger return to the mountain, I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles." Tiger Roaring Sky sighed, but he also knew that it was difficult to change the Tiger King's mind.

"Ma Mengshi is not stupid, now, she is only afraid that she has made all the preparations and can deal with all kinds of situations at any time, even if we send troops to surround it, they can fly, but we don't have an air force, once they block our army's attack for ten minutes, their Pegasus battalion will be able to escape. In this way, the Ma family will be opposed. We have not retreated from the enemy now, and we have forced the Ma family to rebel, but we are afraid that there is a danger of losing the country, so we have to mention this matter again. ”

Early the next morning, Ma Mengshi led the two battalions to return north. Leaving Silver Lake City, we headed north.
