Chapter VIII Deliberations
Ma Fan thought to himself that this person was an old friend of his cheap father, or it was better to pretend, otherwise it would be wrong for his father to die and he had nothing to do, even if he had amnesia, he couldn't say it, who would be happy to hear that his father was dead! So Ma Fan immediately pretended to be sad and said, "It's a pity that my father is gone!"
After hearing this, Li Le said: "I heard about your father's matter, Tang Zhou's dog thief Tiangong General has already sent someone to take his head, and he won't live for a few days, you don't have to be too sad." I have been ordered by General Tiangong to come here to rescue and receive you, so you can go with me!"
Ma Fan asked cautiously, "Uncle Li, why did General Tiangong know that I would appear here?"
Li Le said: "General Tiangong has great powers, what do you not know." Okay, don't ask, although there are still a few people over there to stop the Han Dynasty's army, but they will also withdraw soon, let's leave here first, General Tiangong is still waiting to see you, don't delay!"
Niu Shun stood up at this moment and said: "Please wait a while, these brothers have been born and died with us for so long, and now that they are dying here, we can't let them be violent corpses in the wilderness, I implore Qu Shuai to let us bury them on the spot." ”
Li Le thought for a while and said, "Okay, but quickly, if it takes a long time, I won't wait for you." ”
After Niu Shun thanked him, he immediately took Niu Er, his son and the remaining one to dig a pit and bury people, I don't know if it was because Ma Fan was Ma Yuanyi's son or because Ma Fan was the person Li Le was looking for, Niu Shun didn't call Ma Fan to help.
Ma Fan saw that they were busy there, and he had nothing to do, so he asked Li Le on the side, "Uncle Li, where are we going?"
Li Le said: "Go and see General Tiangong!"
Ma Fan was a little speechless and continued to ask, "I want to ask where General Tiangong is, are we going to Julu?"
Li Le said: "It's not to go to Julu, General Tiangong is in Yecheng now, we just need to cross the Yellow River in a few days to arrive." ”
Li Le didn't know if it was because his friendship with Ma Yuanyi was really good, or because he was in a good mood, he actually explained to Ma Fan in a rare way: "Originally, General Tiangong was Jihua to mobilize Taiping Daoists from Jing and Yang Prefectures to sneak to Yecheng, and actively contacted the eunuchs and believers in the Luoyang Imperial Palace to act as internal responses, and revolted at the same time in Luoyang and various states on March 5 to overthrow the Han Dynasty, so General Tiangong had arrived in Yecheng a few days ago. Because Tang Zhou, a traitor, wrote to the court to inform, so that all of our jihua was leaked, and General Tiangong had no choice but to revolt in advance.
I was about to rush to Yecheng, and I didn't know that things had changed on the way, and then I received an order from General Tiangong, but General Tiangong knew that I was near Luoyang, so I asked me to save you, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to find you so quickly. However, because the people from Jing and Yang did not arrive in Yecheng, it is very dangerous for General Tiangong to continue to stay in Yecheng, and Yecheng is already impossible, and it will definitely be transferred soon. ”
Ma Fan asked, "Uncle Li, I heard you tell the Han Dynasty general that we have a lot of people, but what about the others, don't we have to wait for them?"
Li Le said: "The Han Dynasty has countless famous secret posts on the roads around Luoyang, and they have also been patrolling in this area to search for our Taiping Dao people, there are too many people, the target is too big, but it is inconvenient to move, so we will not join them." ”
Ma Fan asked cautiously, "Uncle Li, is there anyone more powerful than you in the Han Dynasty?"
After asking, Ma Fan carefully observed Li Le, Ma Fan dared to be so bold because he was the person Zhang Jiao wanted, but he was still afraid of offending Li Le because of Weishenme's words, Li Le might not dare to kill him, but it would be too simple to make him suffer more, and he was slightly relieved to find that Li Le was not angry.
I only heard Li Le say very calmly: "Of course there is, and there are a lot, why are you asking this?"
Ma Fan said: "Uncle Li, I want us to walk swaggering on this kind of road, and you are wearing a yellow scarf on your head, which is easy to be recognized." We don't have horses, but those officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty have horses, and they can ride horses on the official roads at will, and their communication speed is very fast, if there is no one more powerful than Uncle Li, then there is no problem for us to walk like this, and Uncle Li will kill as many as he comes, but they have people who are more powerful than Uncle Li, once we are discovered by them, there will definitely be powerful masters to support, then we are afraid that it will be very bad. ”,
Li Le stopped and asked, "Then what do you think we should do now?......
Ma Fan couldn't see whether Li Le was angry or not, but for the sake of his own life, he still mustered up the courage and said: "Since our Yellow Turban Army has revolted now, the direction of the uprising must be very well guarded, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to go over now, or let's go west to Qiongzhou first and then go back." ”
Li Le said angrily: "Hmph, I thought that General Tiangong attached so much importance to you, I am afraid that you have something extraordinary, and what high opinions you can say, it seems that you are just an ignorant child." Now is the time for my Yellow Turban Army, as a Qu Shuai, how can I delay in Qiongzhou and other places, and besides, General Tiangong wants to see you, there must be a reason to want to see you, in case it is an urgent matter, wouldn't it be a mistake for us to turn around like this. ”
Being scolded by Li Le like this, Ma Fan's face suddenly turned red, if it weren't for the fact that he was weak now and needed to rely on Li Le a lot, Ma Fan really wanted to beat Li Le violently.
Li Le still didn't dare to offend Ma Fan, the person who cared about Zhang Jiao, seeing that Ma Fan's face was not good-looking, he said patiently: "Although it is impossible to detour to Qiongzhou, but what you said is also a little reasonable, it is easy for us to continue to walk on the official road like this, and we must also think carefully about the route." ”
As soon as Li Le's words fell, someone immediately said: "The villain is a native of Luoyang, and he is quite familiar with the neighborhood, and I know that a road is safe and fast, and he can quickly reach the Yellow River." ”
This person is a person under Ma Yuanyi who escaped from Luoyang City with Ma Fan and others, and he was lucky to survive the battle with the young generals of the Han Dynasty, but this person can't sense the aura of heaven and earth, can't practice, and has no strategy, and has not been taken seriously, Ma Fan has just arrived in this shijie for less than a day, and this person is not familiar with it, and he doesn't even know this person's name.
Li Le glanced at him and asked, "You are a native of Luoyang, so what kind of road do you say?"
The man pointed to a mountain peak not far away and said: "That's it, the mountain over there is called Beibi Mountain, the trees on this mountain are extremely lush, easy to hide, and I heard some Taoist priests who come and go say that the aura of heaven and earth on this mountain is very strong, which is very suitable for cultivation and healing." And because the tombs of many emperors of the Han Dynasty are on this mountain, it is impossible for the Han Dynasty army to go in and search for them. Although every intersection is guarded by soldiers and horses all year round, I know of an unguarded path, and as long as we enter it, it is considered safe. After passing the Beibi Mountain, you will soon be able to reach the Yellow River. ”
After hearing this, Li Le said: "I have heard of the name of this mountain in Beibi Mountain, but if you really know such an unguarded path into the mountain, and it can be so safe after entering this mountain, why didn't you guide them some time ago?"
That ran said: "Qu Shuai doesn't know, I don't know if there are too many dead buried in this mountain, and it is haunted all the time, even the Han Dynasty army guarding this mountain has repeatedly moved out, and often finds Taoist priests to do it, but it seems that the effect is not fake, so I didn't dare to guide them a few days ago." However, after seeing Qu Shuai's divine might, I thought that Qu Shuai would go back to hiding far away, and others couldn't go here, but Qu Shuai was there to get it, so I rushed out to propose this place. ”
Li Le smiled and said: "Haha, you kid is clever, you are right, the ghost is not enough to worry about, if it is hiding, otherwise, as long as you dare to come out to make trouble, I will collect as much as I want, it is best to come more, I will accept all the more people, this time I came out in a hurry, and because this task did not bring people to wait, it is really inconvenient, if you can catch a few ghosts and wait for the Tao, it is not bad." And I can still accumulate some merit by subduing the evil spirits, so you can lead the way in front of you, and we will go up to Beibi Mountain. ”
