Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan was not afraid of danger, and he was still talking and laughing freely in the face of so many of them, Dong Cheng couldn't help but feel that something was wrong with him.

But seeing that the arrow was on the line, things had come to this point, and it was naturally impossible for him to retreat, so he only straightened his chest more and more, clenched the spear in his hand, and secretly guarded in his heart.

"Okay, what the hell is going on, now we can talk about it."

Meng Xiuyuan glanced at the circle of men in front of him, and saw that although they were all armed with weapons, they obviously didn't have too deep kung fu on their bodies, so they shouldn't be people in the rivers and lakes.

What's more, there were seven or eight of them, although they also had fierce and determined expressions, but they were thin and short, obviously caused by long-term malnutrition.

Meng Xiuyuan, who was used to killing thieves and bandits, couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them when he saw such a group of novices.

It's just that this world is difficult, and it should be that they can't survive anymore, so they will come out to do this business of robbing homes and houses.

Sure enough, as soon as Meng Xiuyuan walked in a little, many of those people panicked, and immediately raised the big knife and spear towards Meng Xiuyuan and shouted:

"Boy, stop!"

"Yes, just stand there, don't come any closer!"

"Don't play tricks, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As he spoke, he brandished his weapon as a threat. But I didn't think that because of my lack of strength and lack of proficiency in using weapons, my movements were twisted and crooked, either as if I was going to throw the weapon out, or as if I was going to hurt myself.

Meng Xiu couldn't help it when he saw them like this, and laughed out loud.

"Boy, what are you laughing at, are you looking down on us?!"

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan like this, the people on the other side couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and angry, and pretended to shout at Meng Xiuyuan viciously.

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard this, and he didn't talk to them. I only thought in my heart, when I started to do it later, I should not make a killing move, but should subdue them all and distinguish them carefully.

Among this group of people, maybe many of them came out to fight for their lives for the first time and had never done evil things in the past.

They are all poor miserable people, so save one more if you can.

Seeing this situation, Dong Cheng, the boatman who was the leader, was very depressed in his heart, and could only whisper to the people behind him not to speak again, and then turned his head and said to Meng Xiuyuan with a serious expression:

"Childe, please tell me your identity and origin, so that we can talk about the next thing."

Meng Xiuyuan's face turned pale when he heard this, and he objected to him and said:

"Didn't I tell you when you asked?

Why don't you tell me who you are, and I know what to do with you. ”

Dong Cheng frowned, and smashed the end of the spear to the ground, and with a "bell" sound, he smashed a seaside rock, obviously with a lot of strength.

With this as a deterrent, he continued to say to Meng Xiuyuan in a deep voice:

"Childe, don't be ignorant, do you still think you can deceive me?

There were imperial officers and soldiers and rebel armies gathered near Zhoushan, and it was just when the battle was about to be fought that the outsiders came, and even the rich families who had a little money in the local area had already fled.

You say you're here to watch the scenery and you're carrying so many taels of silver, who would believe you? ”

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, he was in a hurry on the road when he came, but he didn't hear the news. I don't know which way the righteous army is going to fight with the Yuan army at this time.

Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan didn't speak, Dong Cheng thought that he was being suppressed by himself, and then said sharply:

"Quick, be honest, what kind of identity you are.

Is it the scum who does things for the Tartars, or is he a Chinese-speaking Tartar himself? ”

When Meng Xiuyuan heard his words, his heart lit up, and he couldn't help asking:

"If I'm not a Tartar, and I don't do anything for a Tartar, then why don't you bother me?"

"What nonsense, let you be honest, I didn't let you ask me questions in turn!

One more word, and I'll pick you! ”

That Dong Cheng was a little anxious by Meng Xiuyuan, raised his spear, and the tip of the spear went straight to Meng Xiuyuan's throat.

But it was precisely this moment that made Meng Xiuyuan confirm his identity.

In an instant, Dong Cheng's eyes were full of flowers, his hands hurt, and he saw that the spear in his hand had been held in Meng Xiuyuan's hand.

When he saw that the handsome young man in front of him had such martial arts, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, and he only felt that today might be more auspicious.

But unexpectedly, Meng Xiuyuan didn't mean to make a move, but just asked him with a little interest:

"Who taught you how to shoot?

You people, are you rebels under the command of Mingjiao? ”

Dong Cheng was revealed his identity, and his heart became more and more panicked, but he didn't want to be killed, so he hurriedly took a spear from the accomplice next to him, and continued to confront Meng Xiuyuan in the posture just now.

Seeing this, Meng Xiu couldn't laugh or cry.

As soon as Dong Cheng raised the gun just now, Meng Xiuyuan recognized it at a glance, and it was Meng Xiuyuan who taught Zhu Yuanzhang and Ji Fei's group of marksmanship.

If there is no accident, the identity of the group of people in front of him is naturally self-evident.

It's just that he didn't expect that the average quality of the Ming Sect Army would be so low, and it was even inferior to ordinary bandits, so he couldn't help but be a little worried about them.

However, seeing that the people on the other side had been so frightened by him that they were sweating one by one, he felt that it was more important to solve the misunderstanding first than to think about it too much.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't speak immediately, only retreated a few steps back, shook the spear in his hand, and immediately used it.

The same spear, in Meng Xiuyuan's hands, was naturally ten or a hundred times more powerful than when Dong Cheng used it just now.

I saw that his movements were wide open and closed, obviously he didn't seem to have any strength, but he had a sharp and pressing feeling.

Two feet away, everyone who watched Meng Xiuyuan wielding the gun felt numb and painful, as if they had been pricked by a needle.

"How do you know this fire-burning marksmanship...... Are you also a brother in our church?

Which branch and which marshal are you under the account?

We have been active here for a long time, and we have not received any notification that a Catholic has come here to do business. ”

When Dong Cheng saw Meng Xiuyuan's marksmanship, he was surprised and admired, but he was also completely relieved.

It's just that he was puzzled in his heart, seeing that Meng Xiuyuan didn't look like a disciple of the Ming Sect, so he couldn't help but ask one after another.

"Burning the Plains Marksmanship...... A spark can start a prairie fire, tsk, you have a good name, much stronger than I thought. ”

Meng Xiuyuan heard the sound and sighed sincerely. He had actually thought about the name of this marksmanship for many years, but he had never been able to find such a pleasant and understandable meaning.

Obviously, the wisdom of the masses is endless.

That Dong Cheng didn't understand the meaning of Meng Xiuyuan's words, but seeing that Meng Xiuyuan had such martial arts, he didn't think of doing anything with them, so naturally he didn't treat him as an enemy anymore, and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to Meng Xiuyuan.

"Childe, I think you should be a senior in the sect, and it is inconvenient to reveal your identity here, so we won't ask again.

I was offended by the misunderstanding just now, and I hope you can forgive me. ”

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he would not embarrass them, and waved his hand to indicate that the matter was over.

Seeing this, everyone in front of them no longer dared to say more, but hurriedly beckoned Meng Xiuyuan to get on the boat, wanting to send him back as soon as possible.

On the way back, Meng Xiuyuan was still sitting on Dong Cheng's small boat, and it was still calm.

But the difference is that this time Dong Cheng seemed very silent, but Meng Xiuyuan kept asking him questions.

"Where are you rebels, and whose men are you?"

"Back to our predecessors, we are all from the Huaibei Branch, and we are Wu Guogong's subordinates.

The commander above me is called Liu Zhengming, I don't know if my predecessors know each other? ”

When Dong Cheng heard this, he immediately replied to Meng Xiuyuan seriously.

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard this, what Liu Zhengming, he naturally hadn't heard of it.

It's just that Dong Cheng said that it was a Ming Sect from Huaibei, but Meng Xiuyuan felt a little familiar, and couldn't help asking:

"Do you recognize Xu Da and Deng Yu?"

When Dong Cheng heard Meng Xiuyuan's words, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly replied to Meng Xiuyuan:

"I don't dare to say that I know each other, but I have heard of the names of General Xu and General Deng.

Like our General Ji, they are also capable generals under Wu Guogong. ”

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask Dong Cheng again:

"The 'General Ji' you are talking about, shouldn't it be called Ji Fei?"

Hearing this, Dong Cheng hurriedly nodded, his voice became more and more weak, and he asked Meng Xiuyuan carefully:

"Senior, do you know General Ji?"

Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile and sighed:

"I haven't seen each other for years, but I do know each other.

It's just that I didn't expect him to mix so well that he was already a general. ”

When Dong Cheng heard this, he was not sure whether Meng Xiuyuan's words were true or false, after all, his identity to Meng Xiuyuan was all from speculation.

However, just in case, he became more and more respectful to Meng Xiuyuan at this time, and he didn't dare to slack off.

On Meng Xiuyuan's side, he secretly sighed in his heart, sure enough, the world is impermanent.

Only ten years have passed, and the marginal disciple of the Haisha Gang who knelt in front of him and begged him to show him a way out was already an unattainable general in the mouths of others at this time.

Among them, due to fate, it can't help but make people sigh.

After a long time, Meng Xiuyuan opened his mouth again and asked Dong Cheng:

"Are all the people behind you just now?

Why don't you train them well and then let them go into battle? ”

When Dong Cheng heard Meng Xiuyuan say this, his dark face couldn't help but turn red, thinking of the behavior of his brothers just now, he was indeed a little embarrassed.

It's just that with this question, Dong Cheng deduced more and more that Meng Xiuyuan must not be a master of any sub-altar, but should be from the Chief Sect of the Western Regions, so he is so unclear about the affairs of the grassroots level.

He swallowed his saliva and organized his language for a long time, and then replied to Meng Xiuyuan:

"The lesson of the seniors is that they are indeed a little worse, and we are negligent in training.

However, most of the newcomers recruited by our various sub-altars are actually like this.

After all, if it weren't for the desperation, how many people would be willing to risk killing their heads and join our Mingjiao to fight against the Tartars?

They are all from poor families, and their bodies are naturally not so strong.

Coupled with the urgency of the recent war, the newly recruited people really don't have much opportunity to train them.

I took them to this "Ghost Flower Island" today, in fact, because I saw that you were alone with your predecessors, and I wanted to take this opportunity to experience them.

Otherwise, if you really go to the battlefield and haven't seen blood, then you will really go up to the death step......"

Speaking of this, Dong Cheng's voice was a little dark. Obviously, these recruits at this time are not the first batch he has brought with him.

When Meng Xiuyuan heard him say this, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy in his heart, and only secretly said that these were indeed some true words.

In the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, let alone practicing martial arts, even if they can afford to eat, they are all lucky people.

But it is these poor people who can't eat enough and haven't practiced martial arts that have contributed a large part of the strength of the anti-yuan.

After that, Meng Xiuyuan didn't ask Dong Cheng about any key things, just chatted casually to pass the time.

In the process, Meng Xiuyuan learned that this Dong Cheng was an elite at the bottom of the Ming Sect, and he was sent to the seaside of Zhoushan as a pioneer to familiarize himself with the environment and search for intelligence.

By the time the ship docked again, it was completely dark.

Meng Xiuyuan thought about leaving, but before landing on the shore, Dong Cheng said that their General Ji was in a nearby village and town, and since Meng Xiuyuan and General Ji were familiar with each other, it was better to go and meet them.

Although I don't know if this Dong Cheng wants to test his identity, after Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he felt that he did have some truth.

Since there is no detour, there is nothing wrong with going to see old acquaintances.

Meng Xiuyuan was indeed a little curious, how did this Ji Fei, who obviously didn't have any great skills, get mixed up with the title of "general".

So, Meng Xiuyuan followed this Dong Cheng all the way in the night, until midnight, when he arrived in front of an inconspicuous village.

As soon as the two entered the village, several people immediately came out of the shadows and pointed their spears against them to ask about their identities.

It wasn't until Dong Cheng opened his mouth and recognized the voice that the two of them were let in.

With Dong Cheng's level, it was a little difficult to see Ji Fei, the general, directly, and after the report, the two waited for a long time in a remote house in the village before someone came to inform him that the two of them could meet.

During this period, Meng Xiuyuan was not in a hurry, and only followed the rules to sit quietly and wait. He had never been in contact with the Ming Sect in a formal setting, so he was very curious about their way of doing things, and he really wanted to see them with his own eyes.

If so, by the time Meng Xiuyuan was led to the compound in the center of the village, the night was already very dark. But when he pushed the door and entered, and entered the main house of the courtyard, he saw that it was very lively.

I only heard the sound of shouting, and there were more than ten people sitting in this room, who were still drinking in the middle of the night, drunk and red-faced.

Looking around, I saw that in this room, which was not unusual in appearance, it was very well furnished. Splendid withered flowers and porcelain screens, not to mention that they are as luxurious as Hongmei Villa, they are by no means what ordinary farmers should look like.

Looking at the dining table, the fish and meat are gathered, the cups and plates are overlapped, not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, but also a big meal.

"Who, what's the matter, are they still bothering us so late......"

A fierce man with a scar on his face at the table asked impatiently when he saw Meng Xiuyuan pushing the door in.

Meng Xiuyuan ignored him, but looked directly at Ji Fei, who was sitting in the first place and had already drunk a little delirium, and said:

"Ji Fei, I didn't expect you to mix well.

Your life is nourishing. ”

As soon as Meng Xiuyuan's words came out, he immediately provoked the anger of everyone present, and he drew his sword one by one, and shouted at Meng Xiuyuan:

"Presumptuous, what are you that you dare to call General Ji's name?!"

Such a trivial matter naturally could not affect Meng Xiuyuan. He was just still looking at Ji Fei at this time, and seeing that his body was much fatter and bloated than five years ago, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

A moment later, just as everyone present was about to come up to teach Meng Xiuyuan a lesson, Ji Fei, who had a confused expression, finally rubbed his eyes and saw Meng Xiuyuan's appearance clearly.

Immediately, the impatience in his gaze quickly disappeared, and was replaced by surprise and trepidation.

"Meng Shaoxia?! Meng Shaoxia, why did you suddenly come to see me, and you don't let people just say to me, I'm going to greet you......

Bastard, what are you doing here?

This is my Engong, Wudang Zixiao Divine Sword Meng Shaoxia, you don't have long eyes......"

That Ji Fei scolded and pushed away the subordinates around him, and staggered to Meng Xiuyuan in such a hurry. During the period, he tripped over a stool and almost fell to the ground, but he still didn't dare to stop, and crawled to the ground in front of Meng Xiuyuan.

"Meng Shaoxia, I was about to ask someone to invite you, I encountered a big trouble, you have to help me ......"

As Ji Fei spoke, he was greeted with a mouthful of wine and sneered at Meng Xiuyuan, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and with a wave of his hand, he forced him to take a few steps back and sit down on the stool.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it when you wake up tomorrow."

Meng Xiuyuan left a cold word, and then turned to leave.

Seeing this, Ji Fei didn't dare to get angry, and hurriedly commanded his subordinates to clean up a good guest room for Meng Xiuyuan to rest.

Meng Xiuyuan thought about his past friendship, and he didn't want to see Ji Fei go on like this, so he simply stayed overnight, thinking that he would sober up and admonish him a few words.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ji Fei sent someone to invite Meng Xiuyuan.

At this time, although Ji Fei's strength has not completely disappeared, he is basically conscious.

After Fengcha apologized to Meng Xiuyuan seriously, before Meng Xiuyuan could ask him, he was very urgent to complain to Meng Xiuyuan first:

"Meng Shaoxia, you don't know, I've been unlucky recently, and I've been targeted by a master of the rivers and lakes.

That man's martial arts skills are excellent, and he misunderstood me, so that I couldn't mediate even the masters I invited from other altars.

It's only you, a fairy-like character, who can help me survive this catastrophe......"

Coincidentally, the book was not written, as if to confirm Ji Fei's words, and when the two were chatting, there was a noisy and panicked sound outside.

Ji Fei subconsciously shook his body and wanted to run. But when he saw Meng Xiuyuan sitting beside him again, he immediately had confidence.

Carrying the stool and leaning closer to Meng Xiuyuan's side, he picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea without hurrying.

On the side, Meng Xiuyuan heard Ji Fei say this, although he didn't feel that he had to help him, but he was also willing to listen to the reason, so he sat still and waited for the man to come to the door.

But he didn't think about it, a moment later, the door of the house shattered, followed by a familiar voice from Meng Xiuyuan.

"Dog thief, do you think I won't be able to find you if I hide here?!"

In the next moment, a yellow figure with a sword suddenly entered, flying straight towards that season.

When he was almost in front of him, the man suddenly stopped, revealing a surprised and beautiful face:

Meng ...... Meng Shaoxia, why are you here? ”

Meng Xiuyuan was also a little surprised, and let out a slight breath before he looked at the man and said softly:

"Long time no see, Miss Yang."
