Chapter 53: Apprenticeship
Outside the screen in the middle hall, there were two white-armored guard captains, Fang Qiushui, Ping Kelu, Sunset Daochang, Man Tianfei and several other people. Li Xiao saw that Man Tianfei and Daoist Sunset were both in front of the screen, and hesitated to go to apprenticeship.
Green tea conveys the words of the "mummy" and discusses the surrender with the people. It was decided to let the old and weak women and children go out so that they would not be killed by mistake. Hua Zhongxian asked Green Tea to explain: In order to buy people's hearts, Ma Baiyu would definitely not kill these defenseless old people, women and children in front of 8,000 soldiers.
After the discussion was decided, Fang Qiushui and Ping Kelu conveyed the order of the chief executive, and many old people, women and children successively went out of the inspection department, and they were all guarded by the soldiers of the city defense battalion.
Before Pingjun left, he pulled Fang Ya and came to find Li Xiao to surrender together.
Li Xiao looked at Fang Ya, who had bright eyes and bright teeth, and felt sad when he thought that other boys had bitten her moist red lips, so he refused to go out and surrender with Pingjun and Fang Ya.
At the urging of the Ping family and the Fang family, Ping Jun and Fang Ya both walked out of the inspection department with everyone and surrendered to the city defense camp.
The main figures under Hua Zhongxian have not come out to surrender, which makes the new commander of the city defense battalion impetuous.
The commander of the city defense battalion was in a hurry to receive the merit, so he sent a team of soldiers to take over the inspection department, but was desperately resisted by more than a dozen white-armored guards, and the soldiers were caught off guard and all of them were killed. The commander of the city defense battalion was angry, ordered his own soldiers, and threatened to kill all the old people, women and children who had surrendered.
After Ma Baiyu listened to the report of his subordinates, he hurriedly sent Sun Tu, the new head of the military house, to verify the identity of the surrenderers, and after registering and making a register, he decided to detain the immediate family members of the Ping family, the Fang family, and the Du family in the Yuanyang City prison, and announced in public that all the irrelevant people would be repatriated to show leniency, but secretly instructed Linghu Wuji to take all the irrelevant people to the Zaolin Gang in the west of the market in Jinniu Town, south of the city, and prepared to kill them all.
Linghu Wuji is an apprentice brought by the ancestor of the Stygian Mountain from the Northern Regions, who is silent and ruthless, and has no desire to be strong. He was leading more than 70 errands and servants with sharp swords in hand, on foot, escorting 1,200 old people, women and children along the official road towards Zaolin Gang.
The huge procession was followed by a woman in black and eight women in white, and two carriages were hidden in the woods twenty miles south of the Shiyang Town Market Inspection Division, and there were also twenty or thirty women in white in front of and behind the carriages.
※※※
In the middle hall of the Shiyang Town Market Inspection Division.
Outside the screen, Fang Qiushui and Ping Kelu were sitting sullenly, the two white-armored guards were standing, and Yu Hui Dao Chang and Man Tianfei were sitting on the mattress to heal their injuries. Inside the screen, the "mummy" is resting, Green Tea is dozing, and Black Tea is fanning the two.
The large atrium is extremely quiet.
Li Xiao was confused in his heart, and he didn't know how to choose, whether to go out and surrender, or continue to stay in the middle hall? He knew that there was Ma Baiyu outside, so he comforted himself and said: For the safety of Xiao Jiji, I still choose to stay. I'm going to find a flying sky, and I'm going to learn the flying knife skills.
Li Xiao walked to Man Tianfei's side, the man had gold under his knees, he did not kneel, but sincerely looked at Man Tianfei with his eyes.
Man Tianfei pretended not to see Li Xiao, and Li Xiao walked up to Elder Sunset and looked at Elder Sunset sincerely.
Sunset Daoist was very surprised, and was about to ask Li Xiao, but before he could speak, he saw Man Tianfei take Li Xiao's arm and run out of the middle hall like a fly. Sunset needs to protect the sleeping "mummy" and can't chase after him, so he blows his beard and glares at him.
Mantianfei pulled Li Xiao to the clean side room, and as he ran on the road, he kicked a lot of arrows and crossbow arrows, like kicking a path in the grass.
I don't know if it's because of serious injury, or because of excitement, Man Tianfei is a little out of breath, he stared at Li Xiao with a smile, Li Xiao understood, and after bowing down, he learned the tone of the Monkey King and said, "Master, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”
Man Tianfei hurriedly helped Li Xiao up and said, "Time is precious, don't do these forms." I have a wish, and if you can fulfill it, I will take you as a disciple and pass on all my skills to you. ”
"Master, you can say it. Li smiled and stood respectfully to the side.
Only by respecting one's own teacher can one get the true inheritance of the teacher. How can a teacher who does not respect himself stand on the shoulders of his teacher and see farther than others?
Man Tianfei took out a black rectangular purse from his arms, and the purse was embroidered with a floral pattern with white silk thread. He stuffed the purse into Li Xiao's hand and said, "This is my commission for this trip, a total of three hundred taels, you have to give these silver tickets to my brother." ”
Li Xiao looked at the cockscomb pattern embroidered with white thread on the purse and asked, "Where is your brother?"
"Quancheng Leather Drum Market....... ”
“...... , is it far away?"
"It's really far away. ”
"It's too far for me to deliver. You'd better let someone else deliver it!"
"I will only be relieved if these silver tickets are handed over to you. You put it away first, whether it can be delivered or not, I don't blame you, everything depends on the arrangement of providence. ”
Looking at the providential arrangement, then there is no psychological pressure. "Master rest assured, as long as I can deliver it, I will definitely fulfill Master's wish. ”
"You remember the location, Quancheng Leather Drum Market Manjiazhuang. ”
Li Xiao repeated it several times.
"Do you remember the location?"
Li Xiao grinned: "The whole city, ass, chicken shit, full of home decoration." I remembered. ”
"Just remember. My brother's name is Mantianxing. ”
Li smiled: "I remember." Your name is Mantianfei, and your brother's name is Mantianxing. ”
"There are many descendants of the seventeenth generation of Manjiazhuang, and the main house has been bought by a total of five people, namely Xing, Fei, Yun, San and Mantianbi. ”
Li Xiao remembered Man Wenjun's "Understand You": You left quietly, step by step, lonely back. I want to be with you and tell you how much I love you in my heart. ...... Give me all your love, give me the world, and never know the pain and joy in your heart. ......
"As long as you can deliver, you have to deliver. You first make a poisonous oath, and you must complete the poisonous oath of this matter. ”
Cut, come back to this set, I'm not Ji Xiaofu or Zhou Zhiruo, you are too exterminator. "I don't swear by poison. ”
Man Tianfei was a little surprised, pondered for a while, and said, "Okay then." I'll swear a poisonous oath for you. My apprentice Li Xiao, if he can't deliver the purse to my brother Mantianxing, let him ......"
"Hey, stop talking, if you talk nonsense, I won't apprentice. ”
Man Tianfei was injured, so he didn't say anything anymore, and after muttering a few words in his mouth, he took out the book from his arms again, and smiled at Li: "This book of "Man Tian Fei Knife" is my experience in refining qi in this life. You have to memorize it as soon as possible, and then burn the book. ......”
These two words are very familiar and modern. Li Xiao took "Flying Knives in the Sky", turned two pages, and asked casually, "Master, why did you burn your ink treasure?"
