In the city of Yinzhou, more and more people from the north came to flee, so that tents were set up everywhere on the plain outside the city gate, and the fire flickered at night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Master Ma, if you continue like this, you see, there are refugees under this wall, which is not conducive to social stability. In the yamen of the city, an official frowned and said to Ma Kang'an, the Taishou worriedly.

"What can I do but close the city gates? It's all that damn Xia Qingcang who is nosy, and even went to join my book, so that the higher authorities ordered me to open the city to accept refugees. But you can't blame me now, this Yinzhou City really can't be stuffed. Ma Kangan shook his head and sighed.

"I heard that the battle on the front line is very tense, I estimate that Ye Guyu and they won't last long, I think we should take thirty-six plans as the best plan, saving lives is the most important thing. The officer suggested to Ma Kangan.

"No, I've heard that the Holy Lord personally went to prison and invited Prince Zhou out, my army must be coming soon, if I leave at this time, my official future will be over. I just hope that Ye Guyu and they can last a few more days. Ma Kangan looked into the distance and said thoughtfully.

"Then wait a little longer. As he spoke, the official took his leave and left, and met a man running in at the door.

"Lord Ma, it's cold weather, the refugees outside the city fled in a hurry, they didn't bring any thick clothes, I see that we still have some cold things in our warehouse, let's go out of the city and distribute them to everyone." The person who came was Xu Tianming, the head catcher in Yinzhou, who specially rushed to apply to Ma Kangan to open a warehouse and distribute clothes.

"No, the clothes in the warehouse need to be kept for the soldiers, after all, they are the ones who are going to go to the front line to fight, and the supplies must be abundant. Ma Kangan said seriously.

Xu Tianming snorted in his heart: The soldiers who can fight have already followed Ye Guyu, and now you have those wine bags and rice bags under your hands, and it is a waste to keep these clothes for them.

"Lord Ma, the refugees need it even more now. Although he knew that there was no result, Xu Tianming was still begging bitterly.

Ma Kangming waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to say much, and said: "Xu Zhutou, you still send more catchers to patrol the city, now there are many people, I'm afraid that it will be easy to make trouble." ”

Xu Tianming sighed and could only withdraw from the house.

"Xu Zhutou, how is it?, has Master Ma agreed?" After going out, several catchers surrounded Xu Tianming and asked.

"How could that miserly villain agree, when the Zhongzhou army comes, I must sue him, this kind of person must not let him stay in Yinzhou to harm the people. Xu Tianming clenched his hands into fists and said angrily.

"Hey, what now? It's very cold outside the city, and if it goes on like this, someone will freeze to death. "Caught a little anxious, said.

"Let's go, everyone go home and pack up, see if there are any thick clothes, take them out and send them out of the city, and count a few pieces if you can send them." After Xu Tianming finished his order, he hurried home.

On the second day, the morning sun slowly rises over the horizon, reflecting the red of the earth.

Ma Kangan was finishing breakfast and teasing the birds in the courtyard when an officer and soldier hurriedly ran into the house.

"Newspaper, newspaper, report to Lord Ma, the front line is urgent!" the man shouted breathlessly, handing a letter to Ma Kangan.

Ma Kangan took the envelope unhurriedly, and when he opened it, his face suddenly turned white, and his hands trembled so much that he couldn't even hold a piece of tissue paper.

"It's over, it's over. Hurry up and order, pack all my valuables, I'm going out of the city!, and no one can tell me about this letter, you know?" Ma Kangan hurriedly ordered the officer.

Seeing Ma Kangan's demeanor, the officer and soldier deliberately glanced at the letter on the ground and saw the content on it: "Anchang has been broken, and in three days, the Turkic army will arrive." ”

Hearing Ma Kangan's order at this time, the officers and soldiers hesitated and did not immediately take the order.

Sensing the strangeness of the officers and soldiers, Ma Kang thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "I am telling you to keep it secret first, so as not to cause a commotion among the residents of the city, I have already received news that my army will arrive in Yinzhou tomorrow, and when the time comes, we can only be safe and sound, and turn the danger into a disaster." ”

"Yes. The officers and soldiers stopped for half a second and gave up their orders. Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest, and looked down to see a long sword coming out from behind his back.

"I'm sorry, you know too much. Ma Kangan pulled out his long sword and stabbed the officers and soldiers in the heart, and after confirming that he was dead, he hurriedly dug a pit in the courtyard and buried him.

After that, Ma Kangan rushed into the room, took out a box of gold, changed into a set of ordinary people's clothes, and hurriedly left through the back door and escaped from the city.

Ma Kangan ran all the way with the gold, even he didn't expect his physical strength to be so good, and after running for a day in one breath, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.

Although I don't have time to take out all my belongings, I can basically rely on this box of gold to make myself eat and drink without worry for the rest of my life.

Ma Kangan inadvertently touched the box containing the gold in his arms, and a satisfied smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front of him, which frightened Ma Kangan and hurriedly fled to the side of the road.

But the speed of the arrival is very fast, and it is in front of you in the blink of an eye.

"Huh, isn't this Ma-sama? Ma-sama, where are you going?"

Hearing that someone recognized him, Ma Kang was shocked, turned his head to look, and saw a man dressed in military uniform immediately, staring at him.

"Are you ......?" asked Ma Kangan, confused.

"Master Ma, you don't remember me, I was worry-free in Xiawang, and I passed through Yinzhou when I accompanied the emperor to Yinshan to hunt before, and I happened to have a relationship with you. Wang Wuwu replied with a smile.

As soon as he heard the emperor's two words, Ma Kangan's legs weakened, and he thought that his shameless behavior would be known by the emperor, and he would definitely die a good death. Immediately panicked, and did not listen to Wang Wuwu's words at all.

"Lord Ma, Lord Ma?" Wang Wuwu saw Ma Kangan standing in place in despair, he was very worried, and hurriedly dismounted and helped him onto the horse, jumped behind him, and raised his whip to urge the horse to rush to and fro.

On the plain two miles away, there are all kinds of military camps densely distributed, and they are in good order.

Wang Wuwu drove Ma Kangan all the way and came directly to the central main tent.

"Report, General Wang is back. ”

"Wang Wuwu went to explore the road and came back so soon?" a young general hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and muttered to himself.

Wang Wuwu took Ma Kangan to the main tent, took a step forward and arched his hand: "Report to Prince Zhou, the last general was ordered to explore the road, just out of the Erli Road, he met Ma Kangan, the Taishou of Yinzhou, on the road, and saw that his behavior was strange, so he brought him back to ask the prince to decide." ”

In the center of the main tent, an old man in a golden military uniform sat on a chair, the years had left indelible marks on his face, but his eyes revealed a vigorous vitality.

Prince Zhou slowly opened his eyes and stared at Ma Kangan.

Facing Prince Zhou's gaze, Ma Kangan felt that he was seen through by the other party at a glance, and there was no secret at all.

"Ma Kangan, escaped from the battle, are you guilty?" Prince Zhou said slowly.

After listening, Ma Kangan was so frightened that he knelt on his knees and shouted: "Prince Zhou spares his life, the little one is guilty!"

Then, Ma Kangan explained everything one by one.

Hearing the news of Ye Guyu's death, Prince Zhou frowned, and everyone could see the grief in his heart.

Several people in the tent who knew Ye Guyu also lamented and regretted.

"Immediately urge the camp to pull out the village, be sure to rush to Yinzhou today!" Prince Zhou gave an order, and the whole army set off again and rushed to Yinzhou.
