First Acquaintance Chapter 10: Coincidental
For the border troops who were in the border guards, the night attack of the Mongols was a nightmare that they would never want to encounter, and this really made the other party have concerns and no longer release arrows.
In Zhu Qizhen's eyes, the light of the torch could already clearly illuminate the chasing soldiers behind him, and even the crackling sound of the torch burning seemed to be in his ears.
"I am Ma Ping, a thousand households of Yanqing Wei Changping, as long as you are willing to cooperate and explain the problem, I can guarantee your safety! If you run again, I'll have to keep firing arrows! There was a shout behind him.
Zhu Qizhen asked Guo Mao first: "Do you know this person?" ”
Guo Mao's tone was a little helpless: "This person's grade is really a little low. ”
Zhu Qizhen sighed and said, "Leave him alone, keep running, and wait until you can't run." ”
Guo Mao listened to the order and urged the horse to gallop, but the two of them couldn't outrun the border army behind him.
"Listen, it's not impossible for us to stop, but let you command the envoys to come, or we will surrender after entering the capital!" Zhu Qizhen delayed the time.
You have entered the capital, so how can we calculate the credit? How much shit do you have to step on to win this jackpot, Uncle first! How big is that? This boldness is really my lucky star.
Ma Ping only thought about it for a moment, and then understood how to maximize his interests: "Uncle Yexian, as long as you stop, I promise to entertain you with good food and drink." If you are still not at ease, then you just need to stop, and I can also ask the commander to come over, how about it? Sincerity, right? ”
"Your Majesty, there seems to be another army in front, what should I do?" Just when Zhu Qizhen was thinking about how to prevaricate Ma Ping, Guo Mao suddenly reminded.
Zhu Qizhen took a closer look, and sure enough, there were sporadic fires flickering in front of him, is he so unlucky today?
"Hurry up and rush over, maybe you can fish in troubled waters." Zhu Qizhen tried his best to think better.
As the distance narrowed, the situation ahead was also understood by Ma Ping, and he cursed secretly: Fuck, where did the friendly troops come from where this bird doesn't shit? It just so happened that I ran into it.
"Hurry up and catch up, if the cooked duck is robbed, I won't spare you!"
"Yes!"
"Don't run anymore, I'll release my arrows if I run again! I can't afford to let the enemy go. Ma Ping shouted again.
"Ma Qianhu, there is no evidence, after all, we beat your people, what if you secretly kill us in order to vent your anger to your subordinates?"
"What the am I trying to do to lie to you? A small flag is finally ...... Fuck, I'm sure I can do it if I say it, believe it or not. Halfway through his words, he suddenly changed his words.
"Haha, Ma Qianhu, my subordinates don't care, how can I believe you? Let's wait until I am escorted to the capital. Zhu Qizhen secretly urged Guo Mao again.
"Holy! What the are you playing with me? Ma Ping commanded loudly: "There may be reinforcements from the enemy army in front, and we must not let these Warats run away from our hands." ”
Ma Ping deliberately said it to Zhu Qizhen, in order to let him know that Ma Ping would really kill him, forcing Zhu Qizhen and several people to stop, which also paved the way for the misunderstanding later.
"Leave him alone and run forward." Zhu Qizhen was indifferent. "Ma Qianhu, aren't you afraid that my nephew will take your dog's head in the middle of the night?"
"It's better to die than nothing, such a great military feat, in case I become a commander, whoever cares about him first, grandpa, I will kill him with one sword." Ma Ping pondered.
"One last warning to you, if I don't stop, I'm going to release the arrow." Ma Ping said.
The people who came from the direction of the capital had roughly distinguished that they were escorting grain and grass, and they didn't know what was going on, but there were still people coming to the front line at this time.
Zhu Qizhen ordered even more eagerly: "Hurry up!" Ma Qianhu, in front of you is the grain transport team of the Ming Dynasty, the sword has no eyes, are you trying to kill me, or are you trying to vent some personal vendetta? When the time comes, on the charge of attacking friendly forces, how many of our corpses may be offset? ”
Ma Ping didn't expect the other party to gamble with him, and then he was ruthless: "Fuck! Lao Tzu doesn't want this military exploit, shoot them to death! ”
At the sound of an order, the rain of arrows swept away, and a swishing sound broke through the air.
Zhu Qizhen and the others didn't say anything, just drew their horses and galloped, no longer caring whether the horses could hold up or not. For a while, it was like a movie showing slow motion, and the distance of dozens of zhang was so long under the horse's hooves.
The grain transport team had already paid attention to the situation ahead, and although they were puzzled, they still did not act rashly, after all, this was the grain and grass of tens of thousands of troops, and no one could afford to take care of the problem.
The official in the carriage took the initiative to poke his head out when he heard the movement outside, and the three locks of long hair on his chin hung down to his chest.
"What's going on?" He asked
"My lord, it should be that the border army of the guard is chasing someone, who is running towards us, do you want to intercept it?"
The official pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Pass the order, and the whole army is on alert." Be careful that the enemy army is deliberately building momentum to intercept food, and it is already approaching the border, so be more careful. ”
"Medium!" The lieutenant general ordered the military order to be handed down.
The front grain transport team has made a defensive posture, and Zhu Qizhen silently counted the arrow rain: one, two, three rounds, in a short period of time, the opponent has shot five rounds of arrow rain. Fortunately, Ma Ping only brought out a hundred and ten people, and it was dark at this time, and no one had been hit by an arrow yet.
At this time, Zhu Qizhen was less than twenty zhang away from the grain transportation team, and under the flickering firelight, the other party's face was already clearly recognizable.
The adjutant general shouted just now: "Stop coming, the heavy task of transporting grain, and those who collide will be killed." The escort behind him raised his bow and arrows and firearms.
"Stop, don't let go of the arrows!" Ma Ping was secretly anxious, the other party had already reported to his home, and if he did it himself, maybe he would really hurt the people of the grain transportation team, so he could only stop first, and then began to slow down.
Zhu Qizhen and the others stopped between the two parties in this way.
"My lord! We are 3,000 battalions that do not collect at night, there is an important military situation report, and those people behind us are spies arranged by Wara, chasing and killing us all the way, please let us pass! Zhu Qizhen can only try to see if he can fool the past.
Ma Ping said hurriedly when he heard this: "Brother in front, I am Ma Ping, a thousand households of Yanqing Wei Changping, and I found out that these people are the spies of Wara, so I chased them all the way here." I have a waist card, and if you don't believe it, you can check it! ”
When the deputy general heard this, he naturally couldn't believe anyone just by listening to a few words from the two of them: "Don't move, I'll send someone to get the certificate." ”
Then the two of them were ordered to come, Zhu Qizhen saw that it was not easy to deceive, and he was helpless in his heart, it seems that he can't go back tonight, I hope that Zhu Qiyu, who has no name, can let it go, otherwise the party struggle will far exceed after the change of seizing the door.
Zhu Qizhen hurriedly made a secret signal, and when the arrivals asked for the voucher and the guard was the most relaxed, he repeated the trick to urge the horse to rush over.
A few feet of distance flashed, looking at the cold eyes, Zhu Qizhen was suddenly stunned, and a strong uneasiness came to his heart.
"Not good!" was just startled, and before his body could react, the front hooves of the horse under him weakened, and he flipped and fell to the ground directly.
"Just prevent you from breaking through, and you still want to lie to me? Come on, get these guys for me. Deputy General Zhizhu said in his hand.
"Hahaha, my lord is wise! Master Xie helped me catch these spies. "Ma Ping has already urged the horse to come.
The lieutenant took the waist card and carefully checked it and asked, "What's the matter with these people?" ”
Ma Ping hurriedly said: "Tell my lord, these people were discovered by my subordinates who did not collect small flags at night, and they were mixed in the afternoon to spy on intelligence in the burning camp ahead. That little flag was always trying to catch these people, and even broke his hands and feet by the Tartars! But I finally lived up to the emperor's grace, and persevered until I reinforced you, and then met you here under the pursuit all the way. ”
The adjutant general nodded, but his impression of this Ma Ping was much better.
Zhu Qizhen shook his dizzy brain again, and hurriedly took a deep breath and said: "I am Zhu Qizhen, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I am surrounded by Fan Zhong, the commander of the military guard, and Guo Mao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. ”
The deputy general was stunned, he had never seen the emperor before, and he felt that this person had an extraordinary temperament, and he did look like a Han person left and right, and he did have a majesty in a high position, so he wanted to find an adult to take a look.
Ma Ping hurriedly said: "Adults must not be deceived by them, I heard him say that he is Yexian's uncle just now, it is just full of nonsense." ”
The adjutant general was stunned again, and then laughed at what he had just thought. What is this, and where did the uncle come from first? Crawling out of the cemetery? In order to survive, he climbed wildly, and pretended to be the emperor.
"Hehe, it's really interesting, and his uncle is only twenty years old." Hearing this, Ma Ping's face turned a little red. He also said, "Zhong, each has a military order, and we have to rush to Juyong Pass, so you can escort them away." ”
The adjutant general then ordered the defense to be lifted and the army quickly reorganized into a marching formation.
Zhu Qizhen seemed to think of something, and searched hard in his mind.
"That thousand households, I am friends with Chen Rui, the commander of Yanqingwei, as long as you send us back to Beijing, you will know if it is true or false!" Guo Mao shouted.
Ma Ping was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You Tartar, you still know the name of our commander, you are really prepared." It seems that you are indeed not ordinary spies, and you can rest assured that we will command the envoy to interrogate you personally. ”
"Your Excellency, your military affairs are urgent, please go first! Brothers, make way for the grain convoy! ”
The lieutenant nodded: "Medium!" Thank you! Bring me a good one with the commander. ”
Zhu Qizhen woke up suddenly, and his heartbeat began to accelerate, what an endless road! He finally remembered! Stopped the arguments of several people, and he understood that once the other party preconceived and labeled them, it would be difficult to change the stereotype, and it would be useless to say more.
Fan Zhong and Chen Mao were not particularly anxious, the emperor said that they wanted to go back as soon as possible, and they also understood, but they all felt that even if they made a detour, it was not a big deal, didn't they just wait a few more days? Seeing that the emperor didn't insist, he was happy to shut up, but he secretly wrote it down to these people, and was ready to repay it after returning to Beijing.
The deputy general and Ma Ping suddenly felt a chill on the back of their necks, and they wondered for a while.
"My lord, it's a few Warat spies, Yan Qingwei's brothers are in pursuit, and they have been arrested." The adjutant general respectfully returned to his life.
The curtain of the sedan car was opened, and the man looked at the sky and ordered: "It's almost the middle of the night, hurry up, don't delay the food." ”
"Medium! Rest assured! Let's go! After the adjutant general gave the order, the entire grain transportation team began to start.
The deputy general rode in front of the sedan chair, and when he passed by Ma Ping, he also gestured to the other party, and Ma Ping naturally nodded in return.
Zhu Qizhen suddenly spoke at this time: "Nianfu!" Do you still recognize my voice? This loud shout carried a depression in his chest, and resounded outside the carriage like thunder.
