Chapter 577: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas

As soon as Lu Ning asked the housekeeper who followed him to put away these account books, he suddenly heard several cannon sounds in the northwest corner.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the yellow dust on the northwest corner, and the black horse team swarming towards this side, and I don't know who in the crowd shouted: "Lord Tai Wei's soldiers and horses have arrived!"

This was originally the territory of Liaoyang Province of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty operated here for many years, so it naturally had its own followers.

In addition, the Ma family is a Sinicized Jurchen, and they don't trust the Ming Dynasty in the south very much, and the servants all started to run away.

Even if the eldest and youngest daughters of the Ma family were left here, no one cared about them, and at this time, the housekeeper kneeling beside Lu Ning was already frightened.

"Lord Taiwei of Liaoyang Province has arrived, my lord, since you are the owner of this farm, why don't you also go and visit Lord Taiwei, maybe he will reward you with the official position of a centurion."

Saying this, these women of the Ma family were also a little moved, and they also wanted to run with those people.

Lu Ning drew his pistol and fired a shot into the sky.

"Whoever dares to act rashly again, this is an example, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The old lady Ma was so frightened that she couldn't move: "But all the horses in my family are so gone, how can we live."

Lu Ning sneered and said.

"My life is gone, I still care about what the horses do, if I don't want to die, hurry up and return to the Acropolis of Daning!"

But the dozen or so female dependents left behind had no horses, and they wanted to flee with Lu Ning, but they couldn't.

At this moment, a group of people galloped over from the northeast corner, and the face of the housekeeper kneeling at Lu Ning's feet changed greatly.

"It turns out that Naha's tactics are two-sided, and this time he can be wrapped in dumplings!"

Lu Ning took out the binoculars from his bag again, looked at the opposite side, and saw a Feng character on the flag opposite.

And he said to the ladies.

"This is our Ming Heavenly Soldiers, General Feng led the troops to meet the enemy, as long as everyone does not make a move to resist, there is no need to be afraid of Naha coming out of them."

It turned out that the signal flare that Lu Ning threw into the sky just now was a signal to send troops to the Daning Acropolis.

Zhu Xiongying and the others had long been paying attention to Lu Ning's every move they made out of the city, and when they saw this signal, they immediately led their troops to respond.

Therefore, they had to come to this ranch a quarter of an hour earlier than the army of the Northern Yuan.

Zhu Xiongying took the lead and came to Lu Ning.

"Master, Master, don't be afraid, the army of the Ming Dynasty has come to save you!"

Suddenly, I saw several seriously injured, fallen and fainted people under Lu Ning's feet, and several women kneeling under his feet.

"What's going on?"

Lu Ning briefly introduced the situation and said.

"You can take the lead in seizing this ranch, and then use the fortifications here as a backing to fight Naha."

After listening to Lu Ning's instructions, these people did not embarrass these female dependents of the Ma family, but just sent someone to supervise them.

As for the old man Ma who fainted, he was tied up and escorted to the Daning Acropolis in the rear to wait for his departure.

Feng Sheng had a lot of respect for Lu Ning, and he respectfully saluted Lu Ning.

"Your Royal Highness, please give me orders on how to deal with the war here."

Lu Ning smiled disdainfully and said.

"What else is there to command in such a skirmish? I still have the rifle team and airship troops that I have accumulated for you back then, greet them with these things, you end the battle as soon as possible, and we can go to the Acropolis of Daning to drink."

At this time, Ma Zhenzhen almost didn't believe her ears, and quietly asked Lu Ning while these generals were giving orders.

"It turns out that you are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and these people are all your subordinates."

Lu Ning nodded very seriously, and then apologized to her.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been hiding it from you."

Ma Zhenzhen's eyes were full of tears, and she looked lost.

"Why did you come to our old North Wind Ranch to provoke me?"

Lu Ning saw the rising airship troops next to him and said with a wry smile.

"At that time, I also came to your Saibei in such an airship, but the fuel on the airship ran out and I had to land next to your ranch, who knew that at that time, the cold froze me frozen, if it weren't for you, I would have died by the river."

Ma Zhenzhen asked with a lost face.

"So you used to pretend to be a bag, and you deliberately pretended to show me?"

Lu Ning replied a little apologetically.

"At that time, you didn't treat me well, and I didn't know that you were actually such a kind girl, so there were some things to hide from you, but since we really became husband and wife, I have been good to you wholeheartedly."

Ma Zhenzhen thought for a while and asked him again.

"Then, are you going to follow this surnamed Feng back to the Southern Dynasty?"

Lu Ning whispered.

"I want to move my fiefdom to the bank of the Chaotong River, and then move my family there, I want to do a big business there, and we will work together as a husband and wife, and we will never be separated."

Ma Zhenzhen's heart was sweet when she heard this, and suddenly remembered a very real question.

"Since you are the prince in Daming, there must be many women in the family, they are all noble, and I am the only one who is an ordinary horse herding girl, will they tolerate me?"

Lu Ning gently patted her on the back.

"No matter if anyone else can't tolerate you, I like you very much. I will definitely persuade them to treat you well."

Ma Zhenzhen snorted and said.

"Purify the good ones and say, believe in you to have ghosts."

Lu Ning whispered, "This area is about to be controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and you will immediately be the owner of this ranch."

"Hmm."
