"Brother Li, it's been more than two years since I said goodbye last time. Tong Guanshan said with emotion.

"Yes, King Lu raised troops, and the city lord responded, and I, as a partial general, could only obey. In this battle ahead, I didn't go because I was sick. Later, when I heard about you, I inquired in many ways, and only then did I learn that you and the brothers were taken to Heifeng Village, and these days, I have been trying to transfer to Jiayuan City, one is to stay away from the battlefield, and the other is to rescue you. A few days ago, my subordinates reported that Heifeng Village was exterminated, and I heard that you were the owner of the village, so I temporarily put my mind at ease. ”

"Brother Li has a heart. Speaking of Black Wind Village, this young man is the owner of the village. Not only is the martial arts strong, but also chivalrous. The middle-aged man looked at Ma Yun.

"General Li!" Ma Yun arched his hand. “

Heroes are young, we are all old!"

"Haha, yes. I'm here on this adventure because I want to ask Brother Li for a favor. Inquire about something. ”

"Brother Tong, this is out of sight, just say something. ”

Tong Guanshan glanced at Ma Yun and saw that Ma Yun nodded slightly, and then he told the matter of rescuing Gao Tang's family.

General Li Bian laughed after hearing this, as a partial general, some secrets are still known: this Gao Tang family is imprisoned in a house in the city, because they are not important people, usually only a few soldiers guard, it is easy to rescue them.

The three of them discussed, and General Li went to investigate the specific situation today, and Ma Yun and Tong Guanshan stayed in Buzhuang and waited for news at any time.

The subordinates in the cloth village were all taken away for a few days. The brothers who were waiting outside the door were called in.

"Shaoxia, what do you think of this Brother Li?"

"He is a person who values love and righteousness, and he knows a rough idea of your situation, so it can be seen that he is still very concerned about you, and these things cannot be faked. ”

"Haha, my old boy is very accurate. ”

After two hours, it was already dark, and General Li returned to Buzhuang.

The good news is that the location of Gao Tang's family has not changed, and the bad news is that Gao Tang's family has a total of five people, of which Gao Tang's wife and a pair of teenage children are fine, that is, Gao Tang's parents are already old, and there are many inconveniences in moving, and how to leave quickly after being rescued is a problem.

After deliberation, it was decided that he would leave in a carriage after rescuing the people tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, I will go to buy a carriage, familiarize myself with the road, and then I will start to save people.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ma Yun and a few people came to the animal market that sold cattle and horses, and when Tong Guanshan was selecting horses, Ma Yun suddenly heard a voice scolding angrily: "Little thing, dare to bite the uncle, look at the uncle, I won't kill you." ”

Ma Yun followed the prestige, only to see a thin skinny white puppy chained, a young man in brocade was whipped vigorously, and the puppy was whipped and rolled several times after each whip, but the puppy always stood up again, staring at the young man in brocade fiercely, with a cold light in his eyes.

It didn't take long for the puppy to be beaten and the skin was open and bloody, but it didn't let out a single wail.

"I still want to bite uncle, see if I don't break your dog's mouth!" The young man in brocade raised his whip and hit the puppy's head, and after a few whips, the puppy finally failed to stand up.

"Now I know how powerful Uncle Ben is, it's a pity that it's late, today Uncle I'm going to cook you alive, and then drink dog broth." The young man in brocade laughed wildly, and several people around him also coaxed.

Ma Yun sighed, walked up to the brocade-clothed young man, and said, "How much is this dog, I bought it." ”

The young man in brocade looked at Ma Yun's tattered clothes contemptuously, and said disdainfully: "Let Hanako dare to grab things from me, this dead dog Uncle Ben has bought it." After speaking, he glared at the boss standing next to him.

"This dog will be given to Young Master Wei!" The boss said with a wince.

"Did you hear it, this dog is mine, you want to buy it by Hanako, right, a hundred taels, I'll sell it to you!"

Over there, Tong Guanshan had already chosen two horses and a carriage, and seeing that Ma Yun seemed to be arguing with someone, he hurriedly leaned over and pulled him. Ma Yun didn't know that this meant to make him have fewer rights and wrongs. It's just that when he saw the puppy on the ground, he felt an inexplicable sympathy in his heart.

The young man in brocade over there saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and his smile became even more presumptuous. "Don't say a hundred taels, I'm afraid that you haven't seen one or two in your life, and you still rob Uncle Ben!"

Tong Guanshan glanced at the puppy on the ground, probably understood the reason for the matter, and said a few words in Ma Yun's ear. Ma Yun glanced at the young man in brocade expressionlessly, turned around and left.

"Haha, it's fun to call Hanako!" came the ridicule of the young man in brocade from behind.

The men left the bazaar in a carriage and stopped at a secluded place. Ma Yun tapped his face a few times, turned into a thief-eyed person, and turned back to the bazaar. The young man in brocade was nowhere to be found at the moment, and the puppy was lying motionless on the ground, and the iron chain on his body had been removed.

"Boss, how do you sell this dog?" Ma Yun pointed to the puppy on the ground.

"I'm going to die, buy it back and eat dog meat!

Ma Yun was not polite, squatted down and picked up the puppy and wrapped it under the robe and walked out, but he sighed silently in his heart: "Brother Tong is still sophisticated, I don't fight with that person, he himself feels bored, and he really abandoned the puppy." ”

As he walked, he secretly lost a trace of that mysterious energy into the puppy's body, and that energy had a miraculous effect on healing, and the puppy was injured so badly that he hoped to save his life.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to cause more trouble, Ma Yun really had the urge to slap the man, but he still held back.

Several people drove the carriage and walked along the planned road three times, and after confirming that there was no problem, they came to the place where Gao Tang's family was being held: only two soldiers stood listlessly at the door.

Ma Yun pretended to pass by the door, suddenly knocked the two unconscious, and dragged them into the door.

A middle-aged woman inside the door was doing laundry, and she didn't scream when she saw this situation, but looked at Ma Yun calmly.

"Hello sister-in-law, it was Brother Gao who asked me to come to you, quickly pack up your things and take your family with me. This is his token. After saying that, he took out a sachet from his bosom.

When the woman saw the sachet, her eyes turned red. "Shaoxia wait a moment, I'll go and greet my family. ”

Over there, Tong Guanshan had parked the carriage at the intersection and walked in. About a quarter of an hour the woman came out with four men, two old men and two young men of twelve or thirteen years old, as General Lee had inquired.

"If you have anything to say on the road, please get in the car first!"

After a few people got into the carriage, Tong Guanshan drove the carriage to the city gate. Ma Yun and the other four people followed not far behind, taking the opportunity to act.

The gate of the city was already in sight, and Tong Guanshan even found the silver two who were ready to bribe the guards, and a group of people suddenly turned out from another street, and the leader was the young man in brocade.

The young man saw the puppy lying in the carriage at a glance, and recognized Tong Guanshan, and was about to rush forward in anger.

At this moment, Ma Yun patted him lightly from behind, and the young man immediately seemed to freeze, standing there without moving, with a strange expression on his face, his lips trembling slightly, but he couldn't make the slightest sound. The surrounding family members surrounded the young man in brocade clothes, at a loss.

Gao Tang's family was not a big person in the matter, and the guards at the city gate didn't know each other at all, so they accepted Tong Guanshan's silver, pretended to interrogate them, and let them go.

Ma Yun and the others also mixed out of the city, and after meeting with the people outside the city, everyone set off towards Tong'an City.

The speed of the carriage was much slower, and it took three days to reach the outskirts of Tong'an. Tong Guanshan was very familiar with the terrain here, found a deserted land temple, and settled Gao Tang's family, leaving four subordinates to take care of it.

According to the information obtained by Tong Guanshan, his family was imprisoned in the house, probably because there was still some use value, so they were not troubled.

The rescue method is similar to Gao Tang's family, but this time Tong Guanshan and his subordinates changed their appearance slightly, so as not to be recognized by acquaintances.

After a few people infiltrated the city and spied on them, the rest of the things were the same, and it only took one day to rescue the family and return to the Land Temple.

Everyone did not dare to delay in the slightest, for fear that there would be pursuers along the way, and they did not stay at the inn, but stayed overnight in the wilderness. Three days later, they arrived outside Jiayuan City, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It took another day to return to Xiong'an Village. On the way, some officers and soldiers set up barriers on the road in and out of the village, preventing the people from going to the cottage, and they were knocked to the ground by Ma Yun and them.

The rescue took more than ten days, much faster than expected, and when they heard the news that Ma Yun and they were back, Qin Ming, Gao Tang and Shangguan Feng went down the mountain to greet them. Gao Tang and his family have not seen each other for many days, so they inevitably have a cold greeting.

Seeing this situation, Ma Yun couldn't help but feel touched by the scene and remembered his family. Although he didn't know how he got to this other world, he was sure that the world must be interconnected, since he could come, he would definitely be able to go back, and as for the way to go back, it would be difficult, so far he had another firm goal: to explore the secrets of this world!

The dying puppy, after Ma Yun input mysterious energy many times, turned out to get better, and he was very affectionate to Ma Yun. After Ling'er saw the puppy, she was even more overjoyed, and since then she has taken the puppy with her every day. The puppy's originally thin body, under the good food and drink every day, it didn't take long for it to become fat. "Fallen puppy!" Ma Yun sighed helplessly.

solved the worries of Tong Guanshan and Gao Tang, and the two completely regarded this Xiong'an Village as their home, and they were more motivated. Gao Tang recruited a few strong people, in addition to some skills that could not be passed on to the Tiangongmen, he carefully taught the forging methods he mastered, which made the smelting speed of the weapons in the village much faster; Tong Guanshan and Shangguan Feng worked together to practice several formations for the soldiers.

Probably because the road was blocked by the official army, and no people came to run for a period of time, Xiong'an Village was unusually calm, but everyone knew that this was calm before the storm!

When chatting with Qin Ming one day, Qin Ming's words gave Ma Yun a new understanding of that mysterious energy: that is, that mysterious energy can enhance the skills of others.

On that day, when Qin Ming detoxified the yin and yang corpses of Tong and Qin, he injected a trace of energy into the bodies of the two of them and left it behind. Qin Ming said that he felt the existence of that energy, but he couldn't mobilize it, and after a while, that mysterious energy gradually integrated into his body, and he felt that the strength was a little greater.

Ma Yun once drew down the "rejuvenation technique" line that he had practiced, and handed it over to Tong and Qin to practice, but the time was still short, and the two of them barely advanced.

But Ma Yun himself has already practiced that line, and he can cultivate and recover the mysterious energy at any time, which made him come up with an idea: that is, whenever the mysterious energy is full, it will be transmitted to the body of others, even if it can only improve a little strength, it will be of great help to martial arts.
