In the school field, Cheng Qi rode a Qingcong horse and kept circling in circles, and the corresponding was a small array of 10 mandarin ducks. The four gun-wielding soldiers in the middle stood still in pairs, one on the left and one on the right, and a Changge hand holding a 3-meter-long Ge, in addition to the body, also opened six foot-long wooden branches to the left and right. Finally, there are the shield bearers and crossbowmen who are in front of each other.

Cheng Qi turned to the rear of the small formation and was ready to rush. The commander of the Wu after the formation immediately shouted, "Turn back, protect." All 10 people turned in unison. The commander and the pawn first fired two long arrows with their heads removed, and then retreated between the gunmen and the gunners.

The shield bearer in front of the formation immediately moved from the four gunners to the back of the formation, and erected a shield to protect it. The Changge hands on both wings immediately stabbed or swept, taking advantage of the long soldiers, to block Cheng Qi's attack.

Just when the horses of Chengqi were blocked and wanted to retreat for a while. Shi Chang immediately shouted the order, "Gun, go forward, stab." The four gunmen immediately rushed forward a few steps and stabbed at Cheng Qi in unison. It's not embarrassing to block left and right.

As soon as the four gunmen were forced back, they saw Shi Chang and a pawn rolling and slashing at the horse's legs left and right. Cheng Qi had to pull the reins of the horse violently, so that the green horse man stood up, the horse's hooves just landed, and saw two sharp arrows shot at the same time, Cheng Qi was not guarded, and was in the chest. Before Cheng Qi laughed bitterly, Chang Ge swept back again.

When Fu Xing and the others saw it, they couldn't help but stroke their palms and laugh, and stepped forward to congratulate: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful." The lord's mandarin duck formation is really sharp, and it really deserves to be the battle formation created by the lord. Our army has this mandarin duck battle array, coupled with a neat and heavy large phalanx, it is the north and south armies guarding Luoyang, and their subordinates also dare to fight with it. ”

He Bai also nodded happily, after all, the formation that has been advanced for more than a thousand years is naturally extremely sharp. Cheng Qi, a general with good martial arts, borrowed the momentum of horses and couldn't fight this small array of mandarin ducks, which shows the power of this small array.

This is still the beginning of a small formation, and there is no good practice. If he is skilled in training in the future, he is afraid that he is a fierce general such as Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and he will not be able to break through the small formation of 10 people alone.

He Bai ordered all the generals to practice the mandarin duck formation according to this method. After a few days of familiarization, he will send troops to fight the thief. And in the process of begging for thieves, see if He Bai's modified mandarin duck formation is applicable.

As soon as the task was assigned, a personal guard came to tell him that there was a person outside the camp who claimed to be Li Ping, saying that he had been ordered by his own young lady to invite He Bai to go to Mafu for a while. He Bai also happened to want to ask Ma Xue'er about the situation, and since he received an invitation, he gave a few words to the generals, and then led twenty personal guards to the outside of the camp.

Li Ping, who was outside the camp, led the two of them to wait quietly at the camp gate, and when he saw He Bai leaving the camp, he stepped forward and bowed his hand and asked: "Thank you Lord Duwei for your face, my young lady is waiting for He Duwei in a village courtyard ten miles south of the city." ”

He Bai nodded and said, "Okay, you lead the way ahead." ”

Li Ping and the two servants turned over and got on their horses, leading the way, and the group went all the way to the south. After walking for more than half an hour, I saw a small village built by the river appear in front of He Bai's eyes.

Li Ping pointed to the small village courtyard and said: "This village was built by my old master before he went to Wuhuan Xianbei to sell horses, and he didn't want to be killed." ”

The small village yard occupies a small area from a distance, the length of the direct side is about 60 meters, if the length of the other side is more than 60 meters, then this small village yard has 3, 4000 square meters. Such a big Zhuangzi is unacceptable in the future generations. Even at this point, it would cost at least five million dollars. In Li Ping's mouth, it is just a small village, it seems that this Ma family is also a rich man.

He Bai asked: "Did the old master of your family have a deep friendship with Ding Tingshi during his lifetime?" ”

Li Ping thought for a moment before saying, "The villain was put into the Ma family after the young lady was born. The villain didn't know what happened in the past, but according to what I saw later, the old master and Ding Tingshi had a good relationship, and it was a friend of life and death. ”

He Bai nodded, didn't say anything, and followed Li Ping into the front of the Ma Mansion. After getting off the horse, He Bai walked into the hall alone, and saw Ma Xue'er walking in a white plain clothes, which made He Bai's eyes light up.

As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you must be filial. Although this Ma Xue'er is young, she is extremely beautiful, coupled with her tall figure, and her filial piety clothes at this time have added a few points of color. It's just that the blue marks on the left cheek are faintly visible, ruining the beauty. But the slap he was slapped by himself was too heavy, and it has not disappeared.

Standing beside Ma Xue'er, He Bai sighed secretly, she is really too tall, a girl's height of about 1.85 meters is too tall for most men. However, Ma Xue'er's pair of long legs are almost 1.2 meters long, that is, straight and straight, slender and powerful, Tingting Yuli is pleasing to the eye, it is really a pair of wonderful jade legs.

Ma Xue'er bowed and said: "Thank you Lord Du Wei for coming to the cold house, Xue Er has prepared an urn of good wine in the greenhouse, and I respectfully invite Lord Du Wei to enjoy it." ”

He Bai stretched out his hand slightly, and said, "That's very good, Miss Ma first." ”

The two of them walked all the way to the back of the hall, and after a few turns, they came to a separate hut. Fang entered the hut, and felt a hot breath coming to his face, it seems that there are heating things such as earth dragons underground, and rich people really know how to enjoy it. After I see that I have gone back, I must also think of getting one, otherwise the winter in Bingzhou will not be warmer than that in Youzhou.

There are only three long tables in the house, two of which are full of food and drink. After the two sat down, they toasted each other and stopped talking. He Bai didn't know what to ask, but Ma Xueer didn't know where to start.

After a while, the eldest He Bai first asked, "I don't know what Miss Ma is looking for He to do today?" ”

Ma Xue'er hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "I came to Lord Duwei, naturally to avenge my deceased father." ”

He Bai smiled slightly and asked, "Miss Ma has found out who is the enemy who killed her father?" ”

Ma Xue'er bit her lip and said, "The person behind the scenes is not sure yet, but I know the perpetrator." ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"My deceased father's righteous brother Guo Jian."

“？？？” There is a string of question marks on He Bai's head, why did there be another righteous brother Guo Jian? Does it have nothing to do with Ding Yuan?

Seeing that He Bai didn't know why, Ma Xue'er explained carefully. It turned out that Ding Yuan, Ma Yi and Na Guo Jian were fellow villagers and had been brothers with different surnames since childhood. Later, Ding Yuan entered politics, Ma Yi entered business, and Guo Jian became a ranger.

Among these three, because Ding Yuan's official position has gradually increased, his social status has also increased. Gradually, Ding Yuan and Ma Yi changed from a brotherly relationship to a subordinate cooperative relationship. Ma Yi used the money obtained from business to support Ding Yuan to make friends everywhere, and Ding Yuan used his power to escort Ma Yi's business. Over the years, the two sides have enjoyed a pleasant cooperation.

As for Guo Jian, because his social status has not been high, he has changed from a righteous brother to a tribal general of Ding Yuan. All along, the relationship between these three people has come over like this. But for some reason, Guo Jian led dozens of people to suddenly break away from Ding Yuan the year before last, and he disappeared.

Later, last year, Ma Xueer accidentally discovered that Ma Yi knew Guo Jian's whereabouts, especially before the end of last year, the correspondence between Ma Yi and Guo Jian was very intensive, almost every three days. Marcelle suspected that the two of them must be plotting something big.

Later, Ma Yi even bought a large number of good horses at high prices in the Hanoi area, even at a price several times higher than usual. It took a total of 300 million dollars to buy more than 1,000 good horses, which almost hollowed out the entire Ma family.

He Bai frowned and asked, "You mean, your father partnered with that Guo Jian to do something big in secret." But after the deed, or after the defeat, your father was killed by that Guo Jian? ”

Ma Xue'er nodded with her silver teeth, and He Bai said again: "You went to find Ding Jianshi yesterday, but Ding Tingshi was shocked and sad because both parties were related to him, but he was unwilling to personally kill Guo Jian, and entrusted this matter to me?" ”

"Exactly."

"So where is Guo Jian now?"

"It is in the Black Mountain thieves, renamed Guo Daxian, garrisoned in the area of Fangshan, Changshan Guodu Township, and has nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses. If Lord Du Wei is willing to avenge Xue'er's blood, Xue'er will definitely repay him. ”

He Bai closed his eyes slightly, and his right hand kept tapping on the case, for a long time, after Ma Xue'er was restless and her beautiful eyes were anxious, she said: "Killing all the people of the Ma clan, such a confidential matter is not small." Moreover, Guo Jian is a member of the Montenegrin Army, and the Montenegrin Army does not have much awe for the Han family. Even if this confidential event is leaked, Guo Jian, who is the commander of the Black Mountain Army, is there anything he is afraid of? ”

"There should be another hidden reason for this, but I'm afraid you haven't made it clear to me. In addition, Ding Jianshi only ordered me to exterminate the mountain bandits in the territory, but Guo Jian was in Changshan Country. This not only crosses counties and states, but also crosses the Taihang Mountains. Hehe, there are also Montenegrin marshals who are also Montenegrin soldiers as Austrian reinforcements, this is a million Montenegrin thieves, how do you ask me to avenge you? And you also said that the major events of the previous year almost hollowed out the foundation of the Ma family, what do you use to repay me? ”

Ma Xue'er's little face was wrinkled, and she stirred the filial piety clothes with both hands, turning the filial piety clothes into twists. After a while, Ma Xue'er said: "Xue'er also knows that this matter is too embarrassing, but how can Xue'er not report the blood feud of more than 170 people in the Ma family." ”

After speaking, as if he had made up his mind, he stood up and said: "Xue'er also knows that the enemy is powerful, and she doesn't force Lord Du Wei to avenge Xue'er immediately, Xue'er can afford to wait for three or five years." As for the report, the Ma family still has tens of millions of dollars to spare, more than 100 loyal domestic slave soldiers, and Xue'er is also a little thin, and she is willing to serve Lord Duwei. If Lord Lieutenant is willing, Xue'er will come to serve her right now. ”

Ma Xue'er looked at He Bai with a resolute face, and pressed the buttons on the placket with both hands. He Bai waved his hand again and again: "Stay, stay, this matter is too difficult, let me think about it." ”

It's really funny, as soon as someone's father died, he bullied someone's daughter, how can he be so hateful. Even if he was too much to Lu Bu's wife some time ago, Lu Bu himself likes to sleep with the wives of his subordinates, and his wife deserves to be slept with.

He can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven, and he also gave Lu Bu an heir for nothing, so as not to make Lu Yan'er lonely, so he doesn't feel much guilty. But in the face of Ma Xue'er, who has a deep blood feud, she can't do anything but pity is pity.
