Chapter 39

When Chen Mo returned to the house, it was close to Shen, and when he came, because it was night, there were few people, and he was angry at that time, so he used light skills to run out of nearly thirty miles in one go. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info is now a blue sky and white day when you go back, and tomorrow is the day of the Protector General's Mansion to recruit relatives, so Jinling City can be said to be crowded, shoulder to shoulder. There are a lot of ordinary people who are heading to the place of the competition - Qinglong Mountain early, planning to seize a favorable position in advance, so as to see the grand occasion of tomorrow's martial arts competition, plus some small merchants and vendors who are planning to take this opportunity to make a lot of money, so this street is almost full of people, it is really blocked by mountains and seas, and the water is impassable......

As soon as Chen Mo entered the city, he was blocked by the bustling crowd, and he had no choice but to divide the crowd and walk forward slowly, and it took more than half an hour to come to the general's mansion.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw the housekeeper Wang Rong hurriedly greeted him and said, "Young Master, you can count it back, the master sent people around to look for you, but there is no trace of you." It's good for you to come back, and I'll go and tell the master!"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "What is my father looking for me?" Wang Rong said: "I don't know, that is, if there is something important to discuss, you will know when you see the master." ”

Chen Mo said: "Okay, I know, where is my father now? I'll go find him." Wang Rong said: "The master is discussing with the two sons of Pan Zhao in the Xuanzheng Hall, the eldest young master, please!"

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and thought in his heart: "Xuanzheng Hall is the place where my father handles official business, how did Pan Suxuan and Zhao Niantong go there?" With questions, Chen Mo walked to the front of Xuanzheng Hall, and looked up to see that there were three people standing in front of the door, in addition to the two guards, the captain of the guard, Ma Desheng, was also standing at the door with a big axe.

This Ma Desheng, formerly known as Ma San, is a child of a poor family, and was sent by his parents to work in the Jiangnan camp since he was a child. Ma San is honest and honest, works hard, and is not picky no matter what rough work he does, so everyone in the barracks likes him very much. With the passage of time, Ma San gradually grew up, not only tall and burly, but also as strong as a mountain and as powerful as an ox. So much so that everyone later said that it was a pity that Ma San didn't come to be a soldier. Ma San also smiled after hearing this, and didn't think much about it, until one day the words reached Chen Xiaotian's ears. Chen Xiaotian is a person who loves talents, and as soon as he heard that there was such a strange person in the Jiangnan camp, he immediately wanted to send someone to inquire, and if the situation was true, he was ready to recruit him into the army. Coincidentally, at this time, a rebellion broke out among the southern barbarians, and Chen Xiaotian and the soldiers of the Jiangnan battalion were ordered to go on an expedition, so the matter was shelved.

This battle has been fought for nearly two years, and the rebel forces of the southern barbarians have basically been wiped out, but there are still some remnants of the forces that have fled to the vicinity of Jinling, intending to attack the camp in the south of the Yangtze River at night in a desperate gamble. After Chen Xiaotian got the report, he took the lead in sending troops to travel thousands of miles to help, but he was still one step late. When they arrived, they saw that the camp in the south of the Yangtze River was blazing, as bright as day, and the sound of killing in the camp shook the sky. But when he rushed in, he saw that the barbarian team of about 1,000 people was blocked from advancing in the corridor between the outer and inner villages of the camp. Chen Xiaotian was stunned when he saw this, thinking that there were trenches several zhang wide and deep on both sides of this place, and only one passage could enter the inner village, which was indeed an advantage that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he didn't know which general left in the camp thought of resisting the rebels here and waiting for rescue.

At that time, the battle situation was urgent, and there was no time to think about it, so Chen Xiaotian hurriedly gave the order and launched a charge. The barbarian rebels saw that they could not attack the inner village for a long time, and the reinforcements on the opposite side had arrived, so the army was disheartened, and they were in chaos without a fight. The battalion integrated the soldiers into one place, attacked inside and outside, and annihilated more than 500 enemies in one fell swoop, and the Jiangnan battalion turned the crisis into safety.

After the war, Chen Xiaotian raised the tent and rewarded the three armies, the first reward was naturally the person who led the army to defend the corridor, when Chen Xiaotian asked who this person was, everyone in the account shouted Ma San's name in unison.

It turned out that the barbarian rebels came to sneak attack, and the soldiers who stayed in the camp were caught off guard, and the outer village was soon occupied, and the main generals were also killed. Seeing that the soldiers of the battalion were about to be annihilated one by one, at this critical juncture, a person suddenly rushed out of the inner village of the battalion, holding a pig-killing knife in his hand, and stomped on people when he saw them, and cut them when they met them, and the rebels who touched him were either killed or wounded, and rescued more than 100 soldiers in the northwest corner of the battalion from the encirclement. This person is none other than Ma San.

After gathering more than 100 people, Ma San led these people to rush to another encirclement and disperse the enemy. In this way, four or five groups of besieged soldiers were rescued, and the rest of the people were brought together. But at the same time, the enemy also gathered the forces of the encirclement, and once again formed an encirclement momentum and rushed towards the soldiers. At this time, some soldiers advocated fighting to the death with the enemy, but Ma San said loudly, hard fight is to send death, follow me. He led everyone to retreat to the corridor of the inner village, and used the narrow terrain to break the enemy's encirclement and block the attack of the barbarian rebels until the reinforcements arrived.

After Chen Xiaotian learned of this situation, he praised Ma San, and immediately recruited Ma San into the army and made him a commander. Then, Ma San went out with the army, made many military exploits, was promoted from a thousand commanders all the way, and became an official to the captain of Zhaowu, until one day, Ma San found Chen Xiaotian and revealed to him his plan to disarm and return to the field. Chen Xiaotian was greatly surprised when he heard this, and asked the reason, Ma San refused to say, Chen Xiaotian was even deceived, soft and hard, and Ma San said the reason in a hurry. The reason why Ma San wanted to leave was because he couldn't adapt to the hypocrisy of the officialdom, the intrigue and factions within the army. He was in it, as if he was in a quagmire, feeling pressured in his every move, and tormented in his every word and deed. Compared with the life of an official, Ma San misses the days when he was a cook in the army, when he was happy and unscrupulous, and his daily life was relaxed and comfortable, far better than now.

After hearing this, Chen Xiaotian sighed deeply, he understood Ma San's feelings, and it was the same when he said goodbye to the rivers and lakes and just joined the army, the difference is that Ma San could choose to give up, but he couldn't. Just because the Chen Mansion is a family of Jiangmen, the honor of the ancestors needs him to inherit, and the career of the Chen family also needs him to sublimate it. So, Chen Xiaotian agreed to Ma San's application, but did not let him leave his side. He recruited Ma San into the mansion, renamed him Ma Desheng, became the chief of the guard of the Chen Mansion, and personally taught him martial arts. Ma Desheng is fierce and powerful, according to this characteristic, Chen Xiaotian created a big axe weighing one hundred and eight catties for him, and at the same time made him practice the hard qigong of the Shaolin school. More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and now Ma Desheng has practiced like a King Kong Arhat, and he really has the courage of ten thousand people, standing in front of Xuanzheng Hall with a big axe in his hand, as if he was similar to half a black tower, which makes people shudder.

Chen Mo knew that the matter was important when he saw it, and his father would order Ma Desheng to wait here, so he didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly stepped forward, greeted Ma Desheng and walked into Xuanzheng Hall......
