Volume 1 The Smoke of the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 42 Brothers Kill Each Other Righteous Becomes Unrighteous
When Ma Yangchen and Shen Xuehan set off, they were already on the clock, he was like a rich boy going to play, and Shen Xuehan was his escort.
At dusk, the two entered Gaoyou County.
After finding an inn to live in, Shen Xuehan went out for a walk, and when he came back, he was carrying a big bag of things.
"This is the three-yellow duck egg, a specialty of Gaoyou. Because the food here in Gaoyou is good, the duck is strong, and it ovulates continuously, forming double yellows and even three yellows. Gaoyou salted duck eggs are famous all over the world for their red and oily colors. I'll let the guy cook the three yellow salted duck eggs for a while, and it's definitely a good appetizer. Shen Xuehan introduced while taking things out.
"This is the dried spiced tea in Jieshou Town. Chen Xilou is the most authentic, a smell of the fragrance, this kind of dried tea is flat and round, you see, the color is red, delicate and slightly yellow, a bit like chicken, it tastes fragrant and delicious. ”
"It's called halva. It is made of glutinous rice flour, sesame seeds, and sugar, which is processed by hand, wheat yellow, uniform thickness, crispy and soft in the mouth, delicious and sweet, and brought back to Dong Xin to taste. ”
"And this, the hairy crab in Gaoyou Lake, the taste is delicious, you wait, I'll be back in a while, let's have a few drinks." ”
Without waiting for Ma Yangchen to answer, Shen Xue took his things and went out again. After a while, three yellow duck eggs, dried spiced tea, steamed hairy crabs, and a plate of peanuts were brought into the room.
Shen Xuehan carried two jars of wine, then walked in, waited for the guy to withdraw, closed the door with his foot, put the wine on the table, and said: "Gaoyou's wine is not good, let's drink this today, Xinghua Village." ”
Ma Yangchen nodded, and said with a smile while dividing his chopsticks: "Fourth Uncle Shen, how many years have you not been back to your hometown?"
Shen Xuehan was stunned and said, "It is estimated that it will take fifteen years." There was no one in the house anymore. My parents died early, and an uncle with a foreign surname raised me. He was old and single, he had never married in his life, he was already sick when I left Gaoyou, I was only a teenager at the time, and I never came back. Alas, sadly, unwilling to come back. While speaking, Shen Xuehan peeled off the three yellow salted duck eggs, the white was like clotted white jade, and the egg yolk was like red orange liudan, which was pleasing to the eye and had a unique flavor.
Ma Yangchen was full of wine, raised his glass and said, "To the fourth uncle!"
Shen Xuehan also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Respect the young master!"
The two of them drank from unitary time to sub-hour, until finally they both fell drunk and fell asleep on a bed.
There was a noise outside the door, and the two were still snoring.
A dagger reached through the crack in the door, gently flicked the deadbolt, and a masked man crept in.
Shen Xuehan happened to turn over at this time, tickled his hand, and the masked man was startled and hurriedly squatted down.
After a few breaths, listening to no movement, the masked man stood up, quietly came to the side of the luggage, opened the package, and flipped up.
Suddenly, Shen Xuehan turned over and came to the masked man, and said with a smile: "I said, what are you looking for?
The masked man trembled with fright, knelt down, and said, "Grandpa spare his life!"
Shen Xuehan sat on the chair, turned back to Ma Yangchen and said, "I thought there was a master, but it turned out to be a little thief." ”
Ma Yangchen stood up and said with a smile: "You said it, there is a situation." I'm cooperating with you. ”
Shen Xuehan glanced at the masked man kneeling on the ground and said, "Which way?"
The masked man didn't dare to raise his head, and whispered: "The black head who steals the door." ”
", shame on you. If you let your family know your virtue, it is estimated that you would have been lit a sky lantern. Shen Xuehan snorted and said hatefully.
The masked man clenched his fists and said, "The green mountains don't change, the green..."
"Get out. I also learn to show my wit. Let me touch you again in the future, cramp your muscles, and destroy your karma. Shen Xuehan became impatient.
The masked man disappeared in a puff of smoke.
After this toss, Ma Yangchen lost his sleepiness, came to the table, poured a cup of tea, and muttered, "I guess I should reply to the letter." ”
As he spoke, there was a knock at the door.
The two were stunned. Shen Xuehan came to the door and asked, "Who?"
An urgent voice came from outside the door: "Young master, it's me Gaoke." ”
Shen Xuehan hurriedly opened the door, and Gao Ke rushed in with blood. Ma Yangchen hurriedly helped the person up and said, "Gao Ke, what's wrong?"
Gao Ke's face was covered with blood, and he said intermittently: "Young master, withdraw quickly." We fell into an ambush, and the brothers in the pro-barracks were broken. Let's go!"
Shen Xuehan came to the door with his sword and looked around, returned to the house, and said, "There is no one outside." ”
Ma Yangchen poured Gao Ke a glass of water and said, "Speak slowly." ”
Gao Ke took a sip of water and gasped: "We were ordered to come to step on the point, and the first few days went well, but this afternoon, we were targeted." Half an hour ago, a group of men in black waded into our nest, and I was the only one who escaped. They kill people when they see them, and there is no room for manoeuvre. There is still a tail behind me, I guess it is coming for the young master. ”
Ma Yangchen bit his silver teeth and said, "Don't be impatient!" After speaking, he came to the window, twisted the arrow in his hand, and bang, a flash of fireworks flashed in the night sky, bright as day.
"Look where Gao Ke's injury is?" Ma Yangchen looked back at Shen Xuehan.
Needless to say, Shen Xuehan had already taken out the Jinchuang medicine and bandaged it for Gao Ke. "Trauma on the arm, out of the way. ”
"Wait a quarter of an hour, and then the people will gather and leave. Ma Yangchen turned around and packed his luggage.
In a moment's time, Jun Qianhua had already killed and said, "There are nearly a hundred people outside the door, and the main gate can't get out." ”
Mo Yan then followed in and said, "The back door is also blocked." ”
When Ma Yangchen heard this, he sat down instead.
Mo Yan urged: "Let's go, young master." With us here, we will definitely be able to fight it. ”
Ma Yangchen glanced at everyone and said, "Sit down." No one is allowed to move without my orders. ”
The door creaked open, and a boy in brocade walked in, followed by a group of people who came in with Hula.
Ma Yangchen looked at the people who came in, nodded at the brocade boy, and said, "Such a big formation." The king of Linzi really can afford to look down on him. ”
The young man in brocade snorted and said, "I have long heard that the young master of Moganshan is extraordinary, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary!"
Ma Yangchen said with a smile: "Since we meet like this, let's go straight." ”
The young man in brocade took a chair, sat down, and said: "Don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, let go of Yangzhou, Runzhou, and Yanling, I don't care if you toss in Hangzhou." ”
Ma Yangchen frowned and said, "Yes." But if it happens, I want three states and twelve counties. ”
The boy in brocade said slowly: "There is no owner in the world, and if you have the ability, you will take it." ”
Ma Yangchen smiled: "That's not to talk about." ”
The boy in brocade spat at the mouth and said, "You don't look at the number of roads now, this king sneezes, and your bones will be gone." ”
Ma Yangchen wrinkled his nose and sneezed.
The figure flashed, more than a dozen people around the boy in brocade fell down, Mo Fang appeared like a ghost, and a soul-chasing sword was already placed on the neck of the boy in brocade.
The face of the boy in brocade changed, and he exclaimed: "What a soul chaser." ”
Ma Yangchen smiled and said, "What do you say now?"
The brocade-clothed boy sighed and said, "Why should you and my brother be like this. Li Hao's world is now in the hands of others, and you and I can only turn things around when we work together. ”
Ma Yangchen said: "I originally negotiated with you, but you didn't want to." ”
The brocade boy said: "But you shouldn't send Dou San to my side as an internal response, this has to make me careless." ”
Ma Yangchen smiled helplessly and said, "Then you are really too careful, and I happened to catch up with Dou San's matter." ”
The young man in brocade glanced at Ma Yangchen and said, "Let's go." If the mountains don't turn around, our brothers will have a period later. ”
Ma Yangchen nodded and said: "My ugly words are ahead, you are in the light and I am in the dark, no matter what you do, you still have to take care of the life and death of King Xiang." No matter what Taiping promised you, you have to have more eyes. Within three days, I will withdraw from Yangzhou, but Wei Yuanzhong's soldiers and horses have already arrived in Yanling, and it is estimated that they will be able to enter Yangzhou in five days. It is said that it is coming to Moganshan, but this time you detour to Yangzhou, you should also expect what is going on, who is it, I hope you will do it yourself. ”
The boy in brocade sighed and said, "The soldiers are treacherous. If you don't say it, I also know that now I can't count on anyone but that old woman. ”
Ma Yangchen looked around and said, "You and my brother, there are a few sincere words..."
The brocade boy said, "You all stand down." ”
Ma Yangchen also said: "You guys should go down too." ”
Everyone exited the room one after another, and only the boy in brocade and Ma Yangchen were left in the room.
Half an hour later, the boy in brocade walked out of the room and led the people away.
Ma Yangchen also took people away overnight and went straight to the Xinlong Inn.
Jun Youyi walked around like an ant on a hot pot, and when he saw Ma Yangchen enter the room, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said, "Young master, why did you come so soon?"
Ma Yangchen snorted and said, "Take it for me!"
Jun Qianhua drew the sword in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the sword had fallen on Jun Youyi's shoulder.
Jun Youyi was shocked and said, "Young master, what is this for?"
Ma Yangchen said: "Lord Monarch, you are telling me what benefits Li Sanlang gave you, you actually betrayed your brothers." ”
Jun Youyi knelt down and said, "Young master, I can't help it! Gao Lishi kidnapped my whole family and asked me to deliver news for them, otherwise my wife and children will not be in danger! I'm sorry for everyone, but I... But I really can't help it. ”
"Bring it here. Ma Yangchen looked back at Dong Lin, Dong Lin turned around and went out, bringing in two people.
Jun Youyi looked at it and was dumbfounded, the two were his wife and children.
Jun Youyi stood up and said hatefully: "Young master, I have betrayed your trust in me. If you can't bring disaster to your wife and children, I will bear the sin of today alone. With that, he took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it into his heart.
With a bang, Dong Lin's lancet flicked off the dagger.
Ma Yangchen said: "Today's mistake is my negligence. You take your wife and children away, and there will be no more kings and righteousness in the rivers and lakes from now on. ”
Jun Youyi's face was full of tears, and he knelt down again, and said, "Young master..."
