At dusk the next day, before the sun set, the sky was red.

It is the first spring now, and the Red Robe City is full of business on all sides, but Ji Teng has not paid any attention to these long-lost spring colors.

In front of the red-robed city, the sound of horses' hooves gradually became clear, Ji Teng's face was calm, and Hezi appeared in Ji Teng's sight on a horse proudly with a spring breeze, followed by only eight burly subordinates.

Kazuko was full of energy and shouted loudly, "The one upstairs, do you know me?"

Ji Teng said with a smile: "When I entered the city directly, I only saw your back escaping, but I recognized you." "When it comes to agitation, Ji Teng is much more powerful than Hezi.

Hezi said sarcastically: "What's the matter? Yang Rong, the barbarian before, is he still not doing it, and he has changed an old man like you to guard the city?"

Ji Teng said: "General Yang is recuperating in Qingzhou and will be back soon." ”

"Come back?" Katsuko taunted, "Come back and let me break his other leg again?"

Ji Teng said lightly: "General Hezi is really anxious, General Yang said, that leg, he will return it twice, let the general wait a few more days." ”

"Wait?" said with a smile as he waved his mace, "General, when I was a three-year-old child?" The sharp arrow shot at the battlements in front of Ji Teng and disappeared. Ji Teng was not in a hurry or impatient, walked forward and bent down, and pulled out the bow and arrow lightly, and the dust was visible on the battlements.

Ji Teng opened the paper on the bow and arrow, and inside was the war book.

Ji Teng didn't say a word, raised his hand to open his fingers, wrote the words Ji Teng waiting in blood on the back of the letter, and casually took the bow and crossbow of the soldier next to him, wiped the letter on the original sharp arrow, and returned it.

Hezi was full of energy, stretched out his hand to grab the bow and arrow, but the strength was extraordinary, the front legs of the fierce horse under the seat were instantly raised, and Hezi's hands were sweating, so he reined in the fierce horse and held down the bow and arrow.

The soldiers on the city tower laughed, Hezi looked at the blood book on the letter, and then looked up at Ji Teng in the city, from his face, he couldn't see the slightest change, although Yang Rong pretended to be casual before, but the anger in his eyes, Hezi could feel it.

This Ji Teng is even more difficult to deal with than that Yang Rong.

Looking at each other, it was Hezi who took the initiative to turn around, and Hezi didn't want Ji Teng to see the hesitation and doubt in his eyes.

On the way back to the camp, Katsuko closed her eyes all the way, allowing the war horse under her seat to move.

A samurai stepped forward to wake Katsuko, who waved his hand to signal that he didn't want to be disturbed.

In Hezi's eyes, the shadows of Ji Teng and Yang Rong kept appearing, these two, if they were in the past, they were also generals who could make a difference, how could this little Qingzhou City also hide the dragon and crouching tiger like this? Shouldn't this kind of person be used to stabilize the world? How could they come to defend the city? And to guard this crumbling city?

After Hezi left, the sky gradually cooled down, and a sergeant came over to put on a velvet coat for Ji Teng, although Ji Teng had not yet reached the step of old age, but he was cold and afraid of cold.

The sergeant whispered, "General, let's go back to the house and rest first." ”

Ji Tengwu shook his head, he just watched the sunset quietly, as if he was nostalgic for everything in this world.

Qingzhou City on the other side has long lost its former prosperity, the streets are full of soldiers who are investigating, and many residents have left. Xiao Limin, like Ji Teng, is also watching the sunset. In the high attic, his favorite thing in the past was to look at the bazaar not far away, and there were all kinds of people on it.

Suzhou at this moment is also depressed. The gates of Suzhou were closed, and the streets and alleys were empty except for the soldiers who were fighting. Ma Biao controlled the city gate, but he couldn't control the hearts of some people, and only by getting rid of these people could his position be secured.

Xu Shiyang has always had dealings with Ma Biao, he has sent a lot of gold and silver to Ma Biao, and he has long been a distinguished guest in Ma Biao's mansion. Now the two of them are sitting in the general's mansion, so unhappy.

Ma Biao said: "There is no bloody usurpation, and it is thanks to Brother Xu, if you are someone else, you can't think of it at all." ”

Xu Shiyang is a villain, but he pretends to be modest: "Then General Ma has to be courageous, otherwise things won't be done." “

Ma Biao is brave but also upright, without the slightest heart, Xu Shiyang takes a fancy to this point, so he compliments him everywhere. Ma Biao likes to praise people the most, but he also knows how to be humble: "If you want me to say, it has to be our young master, this rebellion, no one takes the lead, and no one dares to go up." “

"Yes. Xu Shiyang raised his glass and toasted to Ma Biao.

At this moment, a sergeant came to deliver the letter.

Ma Biao took the letter and read it, and after a while, he threw it to Xu Shiyang.

Seeing Ma Biao's anger, Xu Shiyang asked, "What made the general so out of shape?"

"See for yourself!" Ma Biao said angrily: "I borrowed 10,000 elite soldiers from him, but he didn't borrow them, and asked me to fight Gyeongju! He doesn't know how much he will lose in this mutiny in Suzhou?"

Xu Shiyang said unhurriedly: "These must also be the attention of the so-called young master." At present, the news is blocked, if you wait any longer, the imperial court will send troops, and it will indeed be difficult to move. There are 20,000 generals in the army, all of them are angry, and it is not difficult to subdue those leaderless Zhao family troops. And I heard that Hong Erlang is already on the way to Suzhou, Hong Erlang is strong in martial arts, if he can do things under the general, it will really be like a tiger with wings. “

Ma Biao sneered: "When I look at this Liang Zuo, I also want to watch us and the clam fight, so that he can benefit from the fisherman." On the surface, the young master is there with him, and his new state is the base camp, but in fact, he is sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, if the morale of our people is strong, then he will rise up; if the army is defeated like a mountain, then he will lead the army to quell the rebellion, no matter how it is said, he will not lose. “

Xu Shiyang said: "The ancients often said that wealth and wealth are sought in danger. Since the general has not won the land, the profit and the people, he must fight for the time. After defeating Gyeongju, the general is a great achievement, accepting the remnants of Gyeongju and owning two states, and when the time comes, this young lord will not be able to make the general king. “

Ma Biao listened to Xu Shiyang's words, and then his face was happy: "Is what Boss Xu said true?"

"I, Xu Shiyang, have been darts all my life, and I have never looked away from the interests of things. Otherwise, why bother to climb the horse general, instead of currying favor with Zhao Heshan? Because Xu understands a truth, he should be a wild fowl head, not a colorful phoenix tail. Now the young master is in Xinzhou, mainly to use Liang Zuo's power, but Liang Zuo has been a general for so many years, and he has long been used to it. Therefore, in the future, the general must be the first person under the young master, and as long as he takes Gyeongju, it will be enough to wrestle with Liang Zuo and others. “

"Believe you again!" Ma Biao threw his wine glass on the ground, still having some opinions on Liang Zuo: "If I have the opportunity in the future, let Liang Zuo ride me as a horse!"
