Chapter 111: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country

Xie Bao was shocked when he heard this, he originally thought that Jianxi Village was so remote, and Liang Jun would have to search for it in at least ten days and half a month, when the young and strong people in the village had left, leaving a bunch of old and weak women and children, I believe that Liang Jun would not be too pressing, but now it is too fast, and there are still small and half young people in the village who have no time to escape. Busy letting the little doll lead the way, he didn't forget to tell Ma Yunhua to hide when he left, so as not to be discovered by Liang Jun.

Ma Yunhua looked at Xie Bao's distant back, his heart warmed, he drank all the liquor in his hand, and laughed at himself: "I think I Ma Yunhua became famous at a young age, and I haven't done it after following the general, when have I drunk such shoddy and inferior wine, I never thought that I would be addicted to it now!" Ma Yunhua, who had already planned to retreat to the mountains and forests and no longer care about state affairs, sighed, after hiding for so long, the time to come is still here. But when I think about it, I am only in my early thirties now, and it is the time to build a career, how can I do nothing, besides, Xie Bao and others have the grace to save their lives, and now they encounter disasters, they must not stand idly by.

Throwing the wine jar on the ground, getting up and patting the dirt on his body, Ma Yunhua laughed and walked towards the entrance of the village.

When he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw a young general sitting on a tall horse, and more than a dozen Liang soldiers behind him were holding swords, eyeing at each other. Xie Bao stood in front of a group of people and bowed his hands: "A few military masters, I am the head of this village, I don't know if the military master is here today, what are you doing?" ”

Immediately, the general waved his horsewhip at will, and said proudly: "My Liang posted a notice early to recruit young people from all over the country to enlist in the army, and you dare not obey, is it possible that you want to disobey!" ”

Xie Bao said in horror: "The villain really doesn't know, please don't blame the military master." ”

The general laughed, "Oh? It turns out that the little old man doesn't know! Then he made a look and ordered his men to search the village. After a while, his men returned, whispering beside the general.

The latter looked at Xie Bao with a sneer, and said sharply: "Little Lao'er just said that he didn't know, so why are there less than half of the young people in the village?" It was clear that he got the news early and fled for his life! Boldly Diao Min, dare to lead the crowd to resist the order, come to the people, arrest all these Diao people, and send them to the army! ”

Hearing this, the dozen or so Liang soldiers shook the war knives in their hands, and walked towards the crowd with a cruel smile, Xie Bao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.

Suddenly, the strong wind in the distance crossed, and Liang Jun, who was walking in the forefront, covered the corner of his eyes, fell to the ground and wailed in pain, blood continued to ooze out from his fingers, and there were a few "whoosh" sounds, and the rest of the Liang Jun fell down in response, and the horseback general said angrily: "Who is it!" Dare to come out and see it! ”

At this time, Ma Yunhua, who had been hiding elsewhere and secretly observing, walked out, still holding a few pieces of gravel in his hand, he was a marksman of Liang Guo, very good at archery, and flying stones were not a problem, and the bullet was not missing, but it was read for the sake of the same Liang army, and he kept three points of strength, and he did not kill him.

Seeing that Ma Yunhua was burly and exuding a murderous aura, the horseback general quietly swallowed his saliva, held the war knife, and said coldly: "Boldly disobey the people, dare to openly disobey orders, and injure soldiers without permission, it should be beheaded!" ”

Ma Yunhua sneered: "I know much more about the law of Daliang than you, I have never heard of the need to ask for beheading when you wound a soldier, but it is you, who bullies the weak, grabs the people, and tells right and wrong, according to the military law, you should be punished with a rod of thirty, can you be guilty?" ”

The general was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought that this person must have a lot of background, so he asked carefully: "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

Ma Yunhua said coldly: "Don't care who I am, let me ask you, whose subordinate are you?" General Zhu Wang or General Ye Baiye? ”

The general frowned, and said in his heart: Since this person knows the two generals in the past, there is no doubt that they are the old department of Liang State, so he replied: "The two generals have died in battle, I am Teng Fei, a subordinate of Deputy General Jiang of the Jingzhou Army, dare to ask Your Excellency's name?" ”

Ma Yunhua smiled: "Vice General Jiang? But Jiang Zongbao? Hmph, if you go back and bring a message, you will say that an old friend is waiting here, and let him come and see him quickly! ”

Teng Fei didn't dare to be careless, and clenched his fists fiercely: "Please wait for a while, and the general will go back to report at the end!" ”

Seeing that a group of Liang soldiers fled in the wilderness, Ma Yunhua hurriedly helped Xie Bao up, and the children in the village saw that Ma Yunhua alone repelled more than a dozen Liang soldiers, and they regained their admiration, and even many villagers who did not treat Ma Yunhua very well on weekdays also came to thank them. Xie Bao looked worried, and said: "If you offend Liang Jun, they will definitely come back to take revenge, Yunhua, you should run for your life quickly!" ”

Ma Yunhua waved his hand and said, "If I leave now, what will happen to my husband and the other villagers?" ”

Xie Bao smiled bitterly: "In troubled times, people are not as good as dogs, the little old man has lived for most of his life, and it is enough, but he is pitiful of these villagers who were born and raised here, and they are going to be displaced again." Talking about old tears.

Ma Yunhua said with a smile: "Don't worry, my husband is here, and I won't embarrass you if I keep Liang Jun, if my uncle believes me, just live in peace." ”

Seeing that Xie Bao was still persuading, Ma Yunhua said in a deep voice: "Boss, please go back first, let me Ma Yunhua guard you one last time!" ”

————

In the southern city, Teng Fei hurried back to the general's mansion non-stop, Jiang Zongbao was counting the number of strong men who had been conscripted into the army recently and the property looted in Shengyun City, and at the same time, he had to always be on guard against the sneak attack of the remnants of the old department of Ashan's crossbow. Seeing Teng Fei returning, he was in a hurry, frowned and asked, "Captain Teng, why are you so flustered?" ”

Teng Fei knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Jiang, the last general was ordered to go out to collect strong men, and was stopped by a person in the suburban village, that person seemed to be an old acquaintance with the adult, and asked the adult to go in person, and the last general was afraid of hurting the harmony, so he immediately rushed back to report." ”

Jiang Zongbao said in a deep voice: "Does he recognize me? What does that man look like? ”

Teng Fei hurriedly said: "That life is a tiger's back and bear's waist, and the flying stone in one hand is even more useless. ”

Jiang Zongbao was shocked, obviously he already had an answer, and hurriedly said: "Prepare the horse and lead the way!" ”

The two galloped all the way and soon returned to Jianxi Village. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw a majestic man waiting there, and when he saw the man's appearance clearly, Jiang Zongbao tightened the reins, turned over and dismounted, and galloped all the way, grabbed the man, seemed to be a little incredulous, and said suspiciously: "Brother Ma? ”

Ma Yunhua said with a smile: "Brother Zongbao, I haven't seen you for a long time, but now you are mixing well, and you have become generals." ”

Jiang Zongbao scratched his head and said, "It's just a little guerrilla general, not worth mentioning." By the way, Brother Ma, why did you end up here? Why haven't you returned to China all these years? ”

Ma Yunhua sighed: "Eight years ago, we were ordered to go south with General Cao to attack Xiping Kingdom, I never thought that Ashan crossbow used soldiers like a god, and rushed ahead of our army everywhere, and set up a heavy ambush in Feiyun Stream, and finally the 60,000 southern expeditionary army was almost completely annihilated, the general, Huang Fanlong, Lin Wang and others were all killed, Ling Zhan was captured, as long as I Ma Yunhua escaped from death alone, fortunately saved by the villagers of Jianxi Village, this was a life. ”

Eight years ago, Jiang Zongbao was just a small captain, but he had also heard of the tragedy of the first battle of Feiyunjian at that time, Cao Bo, one of the four major generals of the Liang State, was killed, the deputy general Ling Zhan was captured and beheaded, Huang Fanlong and Lin Wang, two of the three tigers under Cao Bo, died in battle, Ma Yunhua's whereabouts are unknown, life and death are uncertain, and a full 60,000 Liang troops were left in the Feiyunjian forever.
