The two had met before, and although the captain didn't see Zhong Ming's appearance clearly, he recognized his voice.

"Young man, is that you?"

The captain was quite surprised, looked at Zhong Ming carefully, and then laughed loudly: "Sure enough, he is a hero out of a young man, not bad!

In this way, it seems that Lord Captain is not here to trouble Zhong Ming, Liang Yu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, Wu Zhukuai and the others' already hanging hearts immediately raised their throats, and Zhong Ming's own frowning brows did not loosen, he couldn't guess the intention of the captain.

Seeing that the situation was unclear, the Mai boy remained silent and waited for the next step from the captain.

The people in the courtyard stood still for a while, the soldiers and cavalry behind the captain had reached the remnant temple, and dozens of fine-scale horsemen blocked the water around the remnant temple, and some soldiers and horsemen stepped open the temple door and poured into the courtyard, holding Tang knives, and scanning Zhong Ming and others with cold eyes.

The Mai boy was not panicked, looked around, and saw the leader who had taught him a lesson earlier.

The person who led the horse was Sun Longhu, who knew Fei Dacheng, and his horse carried Fei Dacheng with a face full of excitement, and after Sun Longhu stopped his horse, Fei Dacheng clumsily climbed down from the horse.

Still holding the mahogany brocade box and lotus leaf bag in his hand, Fei Dazhi ran to Zhong Ming's side quickly, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Ming, I not only brought you a brocade box, but also brought rescuers, you see this group of soldiers and horsemen, they are all here to help us." ”

It was probably the first time to ride a horse, and the excitement on the face of the obese young man did not subside for a long time, and he pointed to Sun Longhu to introduce Zhong Ming's identity to the visitor.

Sun Longhu also knew Zhong Ming when he was a child, he looked carefully for a long time before he recognized Zhong Ming from between his eyebrows, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim: It is said that the eighteen changes of the female university, this Zhong Ming's little brother is also like that girl, more and more handsome, if it is not for the idiot to mention it, he really dare not recognize him.

Fei Dacheng, who was beside him, talked endlessly about the scene of recognizing Sun Longhu just now, but the young man in Mai didn't hear it in his heart, he knew very well who was the general of this group of soldiers and cavalry.

From beginning to end, Zhong Ming's eyes were fixed on the captain's body, and without looking at Sun Longhu, he bowed humbly to the captain and asked, "May I ask the captain, is he really here to help Xiaomin?"

"That's natural, I'm here to find a good nephew. ”

The captain had a smile on his face, and the admiration in his eyes when he looked at Zhong Ming was self-evident, these young men in linen all saw it in their eyes, and the captain called him a "virtuous nephew" in his words, which meant that he was even closer, and the young man had already guessed in his heart.

It's just that there is one more thing that needs to be confirmed, where is the bottom line for the captain to help him?

At this point, the Mai boy raised his hand and pointed at Wu Zhukuai and the others, and said loudly: "My lord, this group of people is the enemy of the small people, what do you think should be done?"

Hearing this, the captain turned over from the horse, and slowly came to Wu Zhukuai's side, without saying a word, the silver dragon spear in his hand was like a dragon going out to sea, only to see the silver light flash, the broken knife in Wu Zhukuai's hand was picked off, and the soap crown on his head was also picked on the head of the gun.

Throwing off the silver dragon spear casually, the captain threw the soap crown at Zhong Ming's feet, and said with a smile: "The bad thing about the virtuous nephew, I also heard the rich young man talk about it in the village just now, how about you see me take off his soap robe and distribute this group of people as coolies?"

The Mai boy hadn't answered yet, but Wu Zhuhai was already trembling with fright, and knelt on the ground with a plop, shouting "Spare your life!"

And the group of splashes behind them were even more unbearable, not only kneeling on the ground and chanting, Zhang Lezi was also so frightened that he peed his pants, and the coarse linen pants instantly emitted a bloody water.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they are high-ranking officials, but in fact, they are just envoys who are not included in the establishment, let alone rank.

In front of the captain wearing fine scale armor, Wu Zhukuai was no different from ordinary people, saying that slashing was the result of losing his head, and no one dared to ask.

What's more, at the beginning of the founding of the New Tang Dynasty, the status of military attachés was still high, and civilian officials were not able to beat the horse, even if the captain slashed and killed civil officials below the seventh grade, a sentence "This thief official is corrupt and bribery, and he should be beheaded." "I can cope with the past.

provoked this school captain, not to mention that Kong Zhutou couldn't protect him, even if it was the county commander, he didn't dare to argue with the school captain, Wu Zhukuai immediately lost his square inch in his heart, and only the thought of begging for mercy was left, and kowtowing was like pounding garlic.

Seeing the captain behaving like this, the Mai boy's heart was as bright as a mirror.

Isn't this captain asking for himself?

They met by chance at the head of the city, and the young man judged from the words of the captain that the captain was not a murderous person, and that he could do such a thing for himself, and he must have something important to ask for him.

The young man thought about it in his heart, and a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"The adult's approach is reasonable, but the adult doesn't know about it, which makes the small people think it's quite unfair. ”

Listening to Zhong Ming's words, the captain looked curious and asked, "What does the little nephew mean by this?"

The young man did not answer, but walked forward, and under his feet was the soap crown, which he trampled into the dust, and did not look like it.

Pacing in front of Wu Zhukuai, who was lying on his stomach, the young man sneered and looked at Wu Zhukuai's trembling body like chaff, holding a folding knife in his hand, grabbing Wu Zhukuai's bun, lifting him up, and wiping it in front of Wu Zhukuai's throat with lightning speed.

In an instant, blood gushed out, the young man took two steps back to dodge, Wu Yu quickly clutched his throat, made a sound, his face was full of horror, and then struggled twice, and then he was silent.

This scene made the captain stunned, he shook the gun in his hand, wanted to raise it, but never raised it, frowned slightly: "What is the reason?"

The young man slowly wiped the folding knife with the hem of his robe, pointed to the dead stone, and said loudly: "The person surnamed Wu is a fast catcher, and he used his position to kill my siblings, and it is only right to kill people to pay for their lives, and it is only fair to use his life to pay for my brother's life!"

Lord Lieutenant's brows gradually relaxed, and he nodded in response: "It should be so, the brother's revenge must be avenged." ”

Zhong Ming, who originally thought that he had annoyed the captain, was also secretly relieved, he was also betting that the captain would favor him just now, and sure enough, the captain was obviously biased towards himself.

Bowing to the captain again, Zhong Mingcai said: "The rest of the people can be dealt with according to the wishes of the captain, and the people think it is very fair." ”

Waving his hand at will, the captain commanded the soldiers and horsemen next to him: "Quickly follow my nephew's wishes, send these wicked people to the yamen and use them as coolies." The arrest was quickly said to have been killed by the captain of the school, and it was returned to the yamen. ”

The two soldiers and cavalry immediately stepped forward, packed up Wu Zhukuai's body, and then drove Zhang Lezi and the others, shouting and taking them away.

When the dust settled, the big stone in Zhong Ming's heart also fell, he slowly walked to the corpse where the stone was still hot, covered his round eyes for him, and said in a deep voice: "Stone, you have a good journey, Brother Ming has avenged you." ”

Then the young man beckoned Liang Yu and the others to come to his side, and whispered to them to take away the corpse of the stone so that they could be buried, and even let Liang Yu and them leave for this reason.

Liang Yu was not at ease, glanced at the soldiers and horses around him, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Ming, then what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry about me, this captain seems to have something to ask me for, and he won't be embarrassed for me. ”

The Mai boy pushed Liang Yu and told him to leave quickly.

Liang Yu also knew that what Brother Ming said was true, and he had no worries in his heart, so he beckoned Toothless and the others to leave.

Before leaving, the Mai boy took the roster from Fei Dacheng's arms and told him: "Help me put the brocade box back in its place, the lotus leaf bag is crispy cake, you share it, remember to send it to Xiaolian, and the children will also get it." ”

Fei Dacheng nodded and responded: "I understand Brother Ming, you have to be careful yourself, our mud village can't miss you, Mr. Zhong." ”

The Mai boy smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "I understand, Brother Ming is very sorry for his life, you go quickly, so as not to cause trouble again." ”

Seeing Liang Yu and his party leave carrying the corpse of the stone, Zhong Ming was completely relieved, he tidied up his clothes, put down his sleeves and robes, and became a scholar of a humble gentleman.

Walked to the place where he was standing just now, picked up the tender green wicker, the young man carefully carried it in his arms, the wicker must have something strange about saving his life, but it is not easy to study it in detail at the moment, and he will pursue it again when he has time to make time.

After doing all this, the young man walked up to the captain, bowed and said, "My lord, Xiaomin's affairs have been dealt with, what can you order, Xiaomin will never give up." ”

Just now, the captain of the school helped himself so much, and the young man naturally had to lower his profile.

There is no food in vain, and the young man understands that he must respond to the request of the lieutenant no matter what.

The captain quietly watched the young man deal with the matter, and the appreciation in his eyes was even greater, and he arranged the aftermath in an orderly manner, which showed that his nephew was quite talented.

From the moment Zhong Ming bent down to give a salute, the captain raised his hand to help the young man up, and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite to me, nephew, my name is Yang Yanlang, and I am your father's sworn brother, you can call me Uncle Yang." ”

As soon as the captain said this, the young man was shocked, and his eyes were full of surprise when he looked at Yang Yanlang.

The young man Yang Yanlang's name has not only been heard, it is simply like thunder, the storyteller Mr. Guo has mentioned this general many times, and he has many stories of happiness and revenge in the rivers and lakes, and this General Yang is the protagonist.

In the story, the life of this General Yang is also very bumpy, and he can achieve today's legendary status, and the twists and turns are not known to outsiders.

Yang Yanlang was originally a former Chen Ming clan general, his grandfather was one of the two major Shangzhu countries of the former Chen Kaiguo, and his father Yang Chengye was the only prince with the surname of the former Chen.

The Yang family has been passed down for five generations, all of whom are the first-rank generals of the former Chen, who hold important military and political powers, command an army of 300,000, and garrison important places in the west, north, south, and tripartite frontiers.

It was only when it was passed on to Yang Yanlang's generation, the political situation suddenly changed, and Emperor Wu of Chen Ji Yan was in power, dissatisfied with the Yang family's heavy army, and the intention of recovering military power made the Yang family gradually decline.

The young man remembered that Mr. Guo once told the story of "the villain slandered and the general died", which was about Yang Chengye sending troops to the extreme north to suppress the barbarian land that was called the Northern Barbarians at that time.

Yang Chengye sent a letter to the imperial court to ask for food relief, but Qi Yingjin, the powerful minister in front of Ji Yan, said: "Why don't you take this opportunity to let Yang Chengye die in the wilderness, and give him a crime of leading troops, if you don't admit your guilt, don't give him food." ”

Qi Ying also recognized that General Yang was loyal to the monarch and filial piety, and did not dare to raise troops to rebel, so he insisted that General Yang exchange his head for military rations.

In the icy and snowy wilderness of the far north, if there is no military rations, the 100,000 army will be starved to death within a month.

When the edict was passed to General Yang, the auxiliary generals in the army were all furious, and angrily said that they would also raise troops to return to the dynasty and take down Qi Ying's head, in the name of the Yang family's army.

General Yang was furious, personally slapped his mouth for the head of the auxiliary general for thirty, and said sadly: "Eat the king's Lu, the matter of loyalty to the king, the king calls the minister to die, and the minister has to die!"

Subsequently, the old general Yang raised his sword and killed himself, leaving his last words, asking his eldest son Yang Jizhong, who accompanied him on the expedition, to personally send his head back to the dynasty to restore his life, in order to show the sincerity of the Yang family.

On the day that General Yang killed himself, the 100,000 army wept bitterly for a day and night, and the cry shook the sky, scaring the Northern Barbarian Army for three miles.

The iron-blooded men wept so hard that they couldn't stop crying.

When the leader of the Northern Barbarian Army heard the news, he was not happy but sad, and said to his general: "The ministers who are loyal to the monarch should be like Yang Chengye, and the old man sighs to himself, so he has military music and sends General Yang off!"

The bells and drums of the Northern Barbarian Army rang in unison, and the two armies ceased fighting for seven days to see off General Yang.

Yang Chengye, a generation of loyal generals, fought all his life, fought on the battlefield and became famous, who didn't know who didn't know, just because of the villain's slander and died tragically in the northern barbarians.
