After winning the battle against Song Jizu, Meng Yishan was in a particularly comfortable mood, which made him extremely confident in his skills.

It was noon, Lao Meng changed into civilian clothes, was having lunch in the small flower hall, and set up a table of wine and food. Song Zhangjiao, who lost the competition, Mo Kui and Mr. Yan were all pulled by him to the same table. He also asked someone to go to the front martial arts training ground and called Hao Datong, and the five of them sat at a table.

Except for Qian Lun, who was busy and didn't see anyone sooner or later, the important figures of Meng Yishan's forces all gathered.

Lao Meng Yan smiled and poured wine for Mr. Yan and Song Jizu, and served vegetables, all the way through warm words. As for Hao Datong, because he is younger than Lao Meng, the captain is not good at treating him out of line, but he is also polite and thoughtful, which gives this young man enough face.

To Mo Kui, Meng Yishan only said: "Tie Xiong is his own brother." Grabbed a bowl of wine and touched a glass with him, which moved Mo Tiexiong, who was straight-hearted.

What made Meng Yishan trust and get close to him the most was this killing star. He regarded Mo Kui as his right-hand man. No one can replace them.

Lao Meng is also a six-grade official, and he is still evil when he eats in front of acquaintances, and he is ten percent of the demeanor of the owner of the Black Tiger Village.

He picked up a chopstick of braised rabbit meat and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and said: "Datong told me a few days ago that it's good to open a martial arts hall, and I think I can divide some people to do this." ”

Hao Datong thought that Lao Meng just said casually last time, but he didn't expect to really open a martial arts hall, and said sincerely: "If your lord has this intention, his subordinates are willing to serve dogs and horses." ”

Lao Meng looked at him, nodded encouragingly, and said, "You are the hall master, and I will appoint a few more masters to be the sect leader, plus fifty disciples for you." Let's open a big martial arts hall. ”

Master Hao was entrusted with a heavy task, a little excited, and secretly determined to live up to the trust of adults and make this martial arts hall the first in Luoyang.

Meng Yishan calculated again: "The location of the martial arts hall should be good, and the place should be big. Chase you pay attention. Once you've chosen, we'll open the mountain gate! But what is the name of this martial arts hall......" Old Meng pondered.

The ink that he hadn't finished reading in his private school was nothing more than some common names such as Black Tiger and Qiankun

After thinking about it carefully, he turned his head to Yan Ji and said, "Mr. give me a good one." ”

Mr. Yan lowered his chopsticks and muttered: "Ten thousand laws return to the truth, just call it the "return to the truth" martial arts hall." ”

Several people thought about it, and they all said that the name was good, but the tone was too big, but it was very suitable for use as a martial arts hall, and the more sensational the name, the better.

Lao Meng took advantage of the interest to take pen, ink and paper, and asked Mr. Yan to write the words "Guizhen Martial Arts Hall" and prepare to hang a plaque in the future. Yan Ji's pen walks the dragon and snake, and the handwriting is very beautiful. Meng Yishan couldn't see the good or the bad, but just praised it thoughtlessly.

A banquet was in the middle of eating, when they heard a chaos outside, and someone rushed to this side in alarm, and everyone was surprised to know what happened?

At this time, he ran into a few errand officers and shouted eagerly: "My lord, there are a large number of soldiers crossing the market on Luoyang Street, and there can be thousands of people rushing to the General Soldier's Mansion." ”

Meng Yishan hurriedly ordered Mo Kui: "Quickly call someone to investigate, and tell the brothers in the yamen to be on guard." He didn't know what was going on, so he had to make a little arrangement.

There was a change in the city, involving the army, and several people had no heart to eat, so they sat indoors and waited for news. For half an hour, the person sent to investigate had not returned, but a porter came to report: "A servant woman ran to the yamen, saying that she was from General Liu's mansion and had urgent matters to see your lordship." ”

Meng Yishan's heart moved, and he said, "Bring it in." ”

Shaoqing's porter brought in a woman, wearing a servant's clothes, her sideburns were scattered, and she looked very embarrassed, and when she saw Meng Yishan at the door, she cried and worshipped: "Lord Meng, save my general!" ”

Lao Meng took a closer look, and this servant woman turned out to be Liu Zongbing's new concubine Yanhong.

"What's wrong with General Liu? Get up and speak. ”。

Yan Hong sobbed, and Pear Blossom cried with rain: "Just now a group of soldiers broke into the mansion, saying that the general withheld their salaries, beat people, and turned things over. ”

This Mrs. Ru pointed out the root cause of the accident again: "On the night you got married, you gambled, he lost a lot, and I was so angry that I ignored him for several days." How do you know that he lost the military salary. What can I do? ”

Meng Yishan said with a little surprise: "Sister-in-law Liu, you remember wrong, the younger brother drank the wedding wine that time, and he left before it was dark." Brother Liu spends candles in the cave room, doesn't go to the bed to get hot, and gambles with a rude man like me? Nothing! "The head shook like a rattle.

Yan Hong's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she said eagerly: "When I came out, the general's people all asked them to tie up, and the general of my family asked the concubine to come to the adult to borrow some silver and send away these troublemakers."

Meng Yishan thought about it, and said calmly to Yan Hong: "There is no silver!" But I can't watch him suffer when I am friends with Brother Liu. Let's go, I'll go and make peace, and ask these ruffians to release them. ”

Meng Yishan ignored the crying and crying Yanhong, and asked people to prepare horses and took Mo Kui to rush to the General Soldier's Mansion. The two horses galloped, and along the way, Lao Meng was still scolding: "Grandma's Liu Li, you kid drinks the blood of soldiers, and Lao Tzu has to clean up the aftermath for you." ”

When they arrived at the General Soldier's Mansion, they were taken aback by the momentum here.

The Luoyang army, which numbered more than 1,000 people, formed a phalanx and occupied half of the long streets inside and outside Liu's mansion. The clothes and armor of these soldiers are in tatters, but their faces are full of murderous spirit, and the battle formation is like an iron and copper wall, and the momentum is so strong that it is not much better than the guards in the Yiwang Mansion that Lao Meng has seen.

Fifty zhang away from these people, there were also rows of military formations at the entrances of the two long streets, but there were nearly 10,000 troops from the two guard posts in Luoyang City. Two commanders led the surveillance and besieged the General Military Palace.

Several of Liu Li's subordinates, including the generals and staff, were neatly dressed in the army, and some people shouted to the mansion, asking the other side to surrender quickly. Hand over the general army, otherwise the army will go to war and the jade will be burned.

Meng Yishan saw that one of the generals who led the troops was an acquaintance, who had drunk wine together at the wedding banquet, and heard that he was still Liu Li's cousin. Then he rode his horse and rushed forward, and when the general saw that it was Lord Meng, he ordered the soldiers in the formation to dodge a way and let Lao Meng come to the front of the formation.

Meng Yishan reined in his horse, pointed to the rebellious army in the General Army's Mansion, and asked the general: "What's going on?" "He wasn't very clear about the situation.

The general looked worried, and explained helplessly: "It was the rebellion of the soldiers of the old Ma civilization, known as the "Harrier Soldiers", who kidnapped the chief soldier. ”

Meng Yishan asked a few people in a row, and finally knew the ins and outs of the whole thing.

After Liu Li took away tens of thousands of military salaries, when it was time for the army to pay them, he only paid half of the salary, and only the personal soldiers under his control were fully paid. This caused an uproar in the Luoyang army, provoked more than 1,000 people to mutiny, and captured the general military mansion.

These rebels are all descendants of Ma Zongbing, and they are well-trained and known as "Harrier Soldiers". He has fought in Yungui with his horse for many years, and he was the first to enter the battle, daring to fight and dare to rush, but at the same time, the military discipline was corrupt, and he dared to act.

After the death of Ma Zongbing, Liu Li was afraid that this group of harrier soldiers would not be controlled, so he removed all the old Ma soldiers of this team, and those generals who were demoted, this time, took advantage of Liu Li's arrears of salary, so they encouraged the old robes to mutiny, and hijacked Lao Liu to ask for conditions.

This kind of hijacking of the chief military officer and the following crimes appear in the army, and the court will never tolerate it. Therefore, no one dared to negotiate with these rebels, so they had to besiege them, resulting in this tense confrontation.

The combat power of the harrier soldiers is too strong, and the two guards do not dare to rashly launch an attack for a while, and they really have to wait for the will of those adults who can really be in charge of Henan officialdom.

As soon as Meng Yishan heard this situation, there was nothing he could do, and it was none of his business. pulled Mo Kui to the side, leisurely looking lively.

After waiting for about half an hour, none of the local civil officials showed their heads, and when the internal supervisor of the Yi Wangfu came to convey the will of the Yi Wang Chitose, he ordered the rebels to surrender, and each of them returned to their own place, not to make a mistake.

As soon as he finished shouting, someone from the rebels on the opposite side shouted: "Fight with them, pull Liu Gouguan up first." Several soldiers carried Liu Li, who was tied by ropes, and placed it in front of the formation, and moved a huge iron tripod from the martial arts field in the general army's mansion.

After the tripod was erected, some soldiers began to pile firewood below, and the air began to fill the air with the smell of rapeseed oil.

Another shouted: "Feed the dog officer!" Roll and fry! Let your kid drink the blood of the soldiers! The group below echoed, showing the fierceness of the harrier soldiers.

In the army of the guard post opposite, there were also cheers, and many soldiers applauded. Mr. Liu is in arrears, and everyone is a victim, so he gritted his teeth. I can't wait to add two more firewood in the past, so that Liu Li is hot.

Liu Li's eyes were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, terrified and helpless. When the two soldiers lifted him and was about to throw him into the ding, Lao Liu began to struggle and shout.

"Wait!" Meng Yishan, who was watching from the sidelines, stood up and shouted at the rebels.
