Chapter 15 Downcast (6)
I had breakfast and settled the room payment. Tong Liwei led the horse and walked side by side with Wang Shuqiu. Wang Shuqiu was very reluctant to part with Tong Liwei so quickly, thought about it, and said, "Brother Tong, can you take me to visit the Imperial Mausoleum of Zhongdu." Tong Liwei frowned and said, "What is there to go to the imperial mausoleum." But he couldn't bear to brush his mind, and said, "Okay! If you want to go, I'll go with you. ”
When I came to the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, I saw that there were guards at the Shinto Mausoleum Gate. Tong Liwei said in a low voice: "It seems that you can't go in." Wang Shuqiu said secretly: This is the land of my Zhu family's dragon vein. Tong Liwei whispered again: "Miss Wang, someone has come out." Let's go! "He really didn't want to come to this so-called imperial tomb.
Because they do not know how much financial and labor will be consumed in their construction, they will increase the burden on the people and cause great harm. In short, the construction of the imperial tomb is harmful and not beneficial. Tong Liwei was extremely disgusted by this, and he didn't want to stay here for a while. Wang Shuqiu does not have such a deep understanding of the imperial tomb. In her opinion, this is nothing more than a place where her ancestors are buried.
Seeing that Tong Liwei seemed to hate this place very much and was eager to leave, she said abruptly: "Brother Tong, stay for a while, just for a while." Tong Liwei saw her slightly pleading smile, so he had to agree. A group of officers and soldiers who came out of the imperial tomb had slowly arrived. I only heard the two captains who walked to the front shouting: "Your Excellency the Governor is here, and you still don't kneel." ”
Tong Liwei turned a deaf ear and sneered: "What Governor, Lao Tzu has never heard of it." The two sword-pressing captains were furious when they heard this, and pointed at Tong Liwei and said sharply: "Dare to disrespect the people, dare to be disrespectful to adults, and not be killed." Tong Liwei said coldly: "If you say a word, you will die, even the emperor today may not be so domineering." "The implication is that the emperor will not punish people with capital crimes for a slightly disrespectful word, not to mention that you are just a mere governor.
The two captains were furious, and they drew their knives to kill Tong Liwei. Wang Shuqiu was stupid, there were about 100 people who came, and there were only two people on his side, and he didn't know martial arts, he would definitely die if he really started, and at the same time he couldn't help but regret it, if he didn't come here or if he didn't stay for a while, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. I don't have to say that I lost my life because of this, if I even affected Tong Liwei and suffered an accident, wouldn't it be my fault, even if I was under Jiuquan, I wouldn't be at ease.
"Wait!" I saw a noble man sitting on a tall red horse, obviously the Governor. Sure enough, the two lieutenants bowed down and said, "Master Ma! "The governor seems to be less than thirty years old, but he has become a feudal official, and he cannot but be envied and jealous.
He was high and arrogant: "This official is Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang." In Fengyang, whoever dares to disobey his own officials will be killed. Aren't you two afraid of death? Wang Shuqiu was afraid that Tong Liwei would anger the governor again, so she knelt down and said, "The people will never dare to disobey Lord Ma." It's just that the grass people in the mountains have never seen this momentum, and they don't know what to do. Lord Wangma is magnanimous, forgive me and the others. He tugged at the corner of Tong Liwei's clothes again.
Tong Liwei looked down at Wang Shuqiu's pleading eyes, and suddenly remembered that he couldn't hurt this confidante in a momentary manner. The eldest husband can bend and stretch, in fact, why is she not protecting herself, there are so many people, and there are cavalry inside, it is difficult to say that she can escape by herself. Tong Liwei sighed, knelt down slowly with his legs, the so-called "men have gold under their knees", not to mention that the dog official who knelt in front of him was a dog official who was a fish and meat people, how not to make him angry.
The two lieutenants sheathed their knives, and one rushed up to shoot his bow left and right, and slapped Tong Liwei twice. Tong Liwei was furious and wanted to punch each other. Wang Shuqiu hurriedly grabbed the clenched fist and grabbed it with all her strength. The lieutenant pointed and said, "Piff, your eyes will shine brightly in the future, otherwise it won't be a slap." Tong Liwei was shaken by Wang Shuqiu, his heart softened, and at the same time, he tried his best to restrain himself and never be reckless and impulsive.
Ma Shiying still said in an extremely arrogant tone: "What is the relationship between the two of you? Wang Shuqiu didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Lord Yuma, we are husband and wife." Ma Shiying shook his head and said: "A flower is inserted in cow dung, it's a pity, it's a pity!" Then he looked at Wang Shuqiu carefully and lowered her head when she looked at her.
Ma Shiying sighed: "It looks really good." After admiring it, he said, "What's it called?" Tong Liwei said angrily: "The grass people ······" Ma Shiying said: "I didn't ask you, I asked your wife." Wang Shuqiu lowered her head and said: "Shuqiu, the queen of the people! Ma Shiying patted the saddle and said, "Good name." Then he asked, "How old are you?" Wang Shuqiu secretly wondered: This Ma Shiying hates it very much, and asks me why are you doing this? But he couldn't help but answer, so he said, "Sixteen people's daughters." Ma Shiying clapped his hands and said: "Suitable, suitable!" ”
Then he asked, "Can you have children?" This time, Tong Liwei blurted out: "What does this matter to you?" The lieutenant reprimanded: "Bold! Rude to adults again, slap your mouth! Ma Shiying waved his hand and said, "Forget it, the mountain village man knows a fart." ”
Wang Shuqiu didn't expect the governor to ask this question, and she was a little embarrassed in her heart, and only after a while did she say softly: "No! I don't know if it was Ma Shiying's ears or Wang Shuqiu's voice was too quiet, Ma Shiying asked again. Wang Shuqiu had no choice but to amplify her voice, so that Ma Shiying could hear it clearly. He immediately smiled and said, "Very good, very good!" ”
Although Wang Shuqiu didn't know what Ma Shiying wanted, she had a premonition that something bad would happen. Sure enough, Ma Shiying said: "Wang Shuqiu, on the emperor's command, recruit the show girl into the palace." You! Pointing at Tong Liwei, he said: "Leave immediately, from today on, Wang Shuqiu is not your wife." When Wang Shuqiu heard this, she almost fainted. Heaven actually arranged for her to serve Emperor Shenzong, that is, her imperial grandfather.
She hurriedly shook her head and said, "Master Ma, I will never enter the palace with you, not to mention that I already have a husband." As he spoke, he held Tong Liwei's hand and leaned against him. Tong Liwei clearly felt that Wang Shuqiu's whole body trembled, she needed her own protection. Ma Shiying frowned and said, "Take it!" Immediately all the officers and soldiers surrounded them.
Ma Shiying said again: "The woman is captured alive, and she is not allowed to be injured." The man was killed. Tong Liwei knew that it was impossible to rescue Wang Shuqiu by himself. He made up his mind that even if he died, he would let Wang Shuqiu get out of danger safely, and when he heard Ma Shiying say that he wanted to capture Wang Shuqiu alive, his heart moved. Without saying a word, he picked up Wang Shuqiu on the horse, pulled out the big knife from the saddle, and said, "Hold on to the reins of the horse and go down." "Slap the horse's buttocks hard. The horse is very human and knows what its owner wants it to do. With a long hiss, he spread his hooves and ran.
All the officers and soldiers had already drawn their weapons to kill, and when they saw the black horse rushing out, they hurriedly dodged, but they didn't release the cold arrow because Ma Shiying ordered Wang Shuqiu to be captured alive. Ma Shiying almost jumped up on the horse and scolded: "Pig's head, don't chase it yet." "The cavalry has already pursued them. Tong Liwei knew that as long as this horse galloped, it was rarely overtaken by other horses, not to mention that except for Ma Shiying, a horse who was still a good horse, there was no good horse. He put his mind at ease, and rushed into the officers and soldiers with a big knife in his hand, and opened fire on the killing spree. In a few moments, officers and soldiers had already died under his broadsword.
When the officers and soldiers saw that Tong Liwei was extremely brave, he killed and injured several people, and they did not dare to rush up for a while, but surrounded him in the middle. Ma Shiying scolded angrily: "Useless things, I raised you in vain, don't kill him quickly." Whoever brings the first rank will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and he will be promoted to three levels in a row. As soon as the officers and soldiers heard that Tong Liwei's head had been beheaded and the officials were rewarded with silver, how could they not be moved, and some people had already rushed forward.
Tong Liwei spit out a mouthful of phlegm and said, "Dog thief, kill you without leaving a piece of armor." The big knife was swung away, and an officer and soldier used the knife to check. Who knew that Tong Liwei not only had extraordinary strength in his hand, but this knife was also quite sharp, and when he cut off the knife of the officer and soldier, the officer and soldier were stunned, and before he could react, half of his head was cut off like his knife. When all the officers and soldiers saw the sharpness of his broadsword, they did not dare to use the knife in their hands, lest the knife cut off and kill people. Tong Liwei relied on the sharp sword in his hand, rushed left and right, and killed all the officers and soldiers in retreat.
Ma Shiying was so angry that he didn't fall off his horse, but many officers and soldiers couldn't help a mountain villager, which was simply a shame for him. I saw him scolding even louder, almost shouting: "Stupid pigs, they are stupid." Shoot him with an arrow, shoot him. A word to remind the archers. Those archers pulled out their arrows from the quiver one after another, built their bows, and aimed at Tong Liwei.
