Volume 3 Fengyun Chapter 94--95 Military Camp - Yin Tong Mountain
Grandma Huzi was suspicious and still refused to accept the silver taels, and several old people behind Grandma Huzi also persuaded each other again and again: "Young heroes don't have to worry about us old immortals, we have always lived a bitter life, and we don't die of hunger, but Shaoxia, you have to be careful in everything." It seems that they still refuse to believe Xu Zhong's words.
Xu Zhong was even more upset, watching everyone push around for a mere dozens of taels of silver, he couldn't bear to be angry and said: "Since it is given to you, you will follow, and we will naturally not be wronged!"
Everyone saw that Xu Zhong was angry, but Nuo Nuo didn't dare to speak, and Huzi, who was crowding through the crowd at this time, seemed to see something, he grabbed Mitu's sleeve, raised his face and asked, "Big brother, don't go, okay? You haven't taught Huzi martial arts yet." As he spoke, his eyes were red and he was about to burst into tears.
Mi Tu picked up Huzi, wiped his moist eyes for him, and coaxed him gently: "Huzi is a man, and a man has no tears." ”
Huzi hurriedly wiped his eyes and said crisply: "Huzi didn't cry, Huzi just couldn't bear to be a big brother." ”
Mitu looked at Huzi like a little adult, his heart was slightly sour, and he smiled forcefully: "The big brother is reluctant to give up the tiger, so the big brother will come back soon." ”
Huzi was suddenly overjoyed, but he was still uneasy and said: "Really, then Huzi will wait for the big brother to come back, by the way, ......" said he pointed his little hand to the head of the village, "Huzi will wait there for the big brother to come back, the big brother is not allowed to deceive people, Huzi is waiting for you to come back to teach Huzi martial arts, and beat the bad guys!" When he said the last sentence, he waved his little hand, looking very serious.
Mitu finally set off under the urging of Xu Zhong, and the whole village reluctantly sent Tuling before stopping under the persuasion of Mitu, Huzi finally couldn't help but cry, and he shouted "Big Brother" to come back early.
Mi Tu looked at the hearts of the people who were still waving their hands from afar, and his head couldn't help but ache, and a stream of hot tears welled up. He slammed the war horse under his seat and left, and he didn't dare to look back, roaring in his heart: "I will definitely come back!"
Outside the city of Hejian Mansion, the banner is full of large armies, and when you look around, you can see that the joint camp is endless for dozens of miles, and there are people shouting and neighing everywhere.
Mi Tu sighed in his heart, although Zhu Yuanzhang was able to kill a lot of generals, but he still saved a lot of money for his grandson Zhu Yunwen, otherwise the court would not have gathered so many soldiers and horses in just a dozen days after the defeat.
Xu Zhong looked at the journey in a daze, and said with a proud smile: "The imperial court raised 500,000 troops this time, just with Zhu Di's poor guards, they will only be ants." ”
Mi Tu just smiled lightly, this was not a matter of concern to him, and it had nothing to do with the purpose of his trip, so he casually asked, "Is Wei Guogong in the army?"
Xu Zhong was bored, so he had to laugh dryly and said: "My grandfather is a prisoner of the army, so he is naturally in the army." ”
"It's just a prison guard, not a commander. Mi Tu thought in his heart, but this had nothing to do with him, and he didn't have the heart to ask who the commander was, but he asked puzzledly, "Doesn't Wei Guogong live in the city?"
Xu Zhong's expression added a look of pride, and he replied: "My grandfather has always worked with the soldiers and shared hardships, and was strict with himself, especially during the period of commanding the army, and never left the army lightly. ”
After hearing this, Mi Tu added a little favor to Xu Zuhui, nodded with some approval, and said, "Then please take me to meet Guogong with Lord Xu." ”
Xu Zhong saw the change in Mitu's complexion, and the unhappiness in his heart weakened a lot, and said, "Then I will be a brother." As he spoke, he lifted the reins and galloped straight towards the Chinese army camp, and everyone hurriedly urged the horses to follow.
When he arrived at the gate of the big camp, Xu Zhong hurriedly kicked off his horse, and said to Mitu with some apologies: "I'm sorry brother, Grandpa Guo has always governed the army very strictly, and the rules in the army are that horses are not allowed to be ridden in the camp during non-war time." ”
Mitu jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "It's okay, everything is done according to the rules." After speaking, he handed the reins to a soldier, and followed Xu Zhong straight to the big tent of the Chinese army with a calm face.
But just after walking a few steps, Mi Tu suddenly felt a murderous aura rushing over, and disappeared in a flash, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a group of patrolling soldiers walking in neat steps not far away, and there was nothing unusual. He couldn't help but secretly laugh at his suspicions, and secretly scolded himself for when he became timid, but suddenly found that the last person in the team of soldiers was a little scattered, and the person's breathing was quite heavy during the careful listening, and he couldn't help but stop slightly, and asked Xu Zhong: "Lord Xu, have there always been soldiers patrolling in the army?"
Xu Zhong was stunned for a moment, glanced at the patrolling soldiers, and then smiled meaningfully: "Brother, don't be careful, for the sake of strict military discipline, the army has always been like this." ”
Mitu saw Xu Zhong's smile and knew that he would be wrong, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just asking." As he spoke, he straightened his chest and walked towards the big tent, which made Xu Zhong slander again: "This kid, what kind of nerves do you have!"
At this time, the soldier leading the horse at the gate of the camp also muttered when he saw Mitu's performance: "I don't know if this master is a fool, or he has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, not to mention that he has offended Wei Guogong, and now he has entered the camp and is still so casual, he is really daring!"
Another soldier said: "What do you know, that's a Wudang master, they are all amazing people." ”
"Oh. I see, aren't the Wudang masters afraid of death?......" The soldier replied casually, and then led the horse and muttered towards the camp, but the soldier behind him touched his neck and was stunned stupidly.
There are two big tents in the middle of the Chinese army camp, and the one slightly to the left is Xu Zuhui's prison tent. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set up a military supervision system in order to better control the army, but this time it was slightly different from the past in that the eunuch who had always supervised the army was replaced by Wei Guogong.
Xu Zhong led the way to the big tent and hugged his fist to Mitu: "Brother, wait a minute, I'll go to report to the country." ”
Mi Tu smiled slightly, made a gesture of please, and Xu Zhong went to the account to report. Mi Tu looked at the soldiers in front of the tent with their heads held high idle, and was about to turn back to the camp when he heard a familiar voice shouting in surprise: "Senior brother, is it really you?!"
Mi Tu hurriedly looked back, and saw Yin Tongshan walking briskly with a surprised face, so he hurried up to meet him.
The brothers hugged each other tightly when they saw each other, and it took a long time before they separated. Yin Tongshan was still a little excited and asked Mi Tu, "Senior brother, why did you come here?"
Mitu didn't want people to worry about him, but he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he smiled and replied, "It was Lord Xu Zhong who brought me here." Then he asked, "Is the third uncle also in the army?"
Yin Tongshan hurriedly bowed to a military tent next to Xu Zuhui's big tent, and replied: "Yes, the third master is in the military tent over there, I'll take you there." ”
As he spoke, he took Mitu's hand, but he was stunned then, and only after a while did he ask in an unbelievable tone, "You killed Zhang Baihu?"
Mi Tu nodded with a smile.
Yin Tongshan was even more surprised and asked, "You killed him and thirty-seven of his men?"
Mi Tu still nodded, but this time his eyes were sharp, and he said, "They should be killed!"
Yin Tongshan was shocked by the momentum inadvertently revealed by the Mitu, and at this time he realized that the Mitu in front of him had changed a lot compared to when he was in the mountain gate. Although he could still feel the deep friendship between the brothers, he still thought for a moment before saying, "Senior brother, they are just grabbing some food, don't need to ......" He stopped talking in the middle of his speech, and looked at Mitu a little nervously.
"Just grab some food?...... Mi Tu was slightly stunned, stared at Yin Tongshan and asked, "Who did you listen to?"
Yin Tongshan saw something strange in Mitu's eyes, and said a little nervously: "It was reported to the Duke of Wei by a personal soldier of Zhang Baihu who fled back, and I happened to be there at the time, so I knew." ”
"Haha!" Mi Tu couldn't help but sneer, "just grab some food, a good one just grab some food; after eating enough, he will forcibly destroy young women, and slaughter them when they encounter the slightest resistance, and all adult men will be spared, and then they will kill women, and the whole village will be killed forty-one people, if I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid those old and weak women and children would not have been spared, this is what he said just to grab some food!"
Yin Tongshan opened his mouth angrily, and asked Mitu with some stuttering, "You...... What you say is true?!"
"Do I need to lie to you?" Mi Tu looked at Yin Tongshan and asked rhetorically.
Yin Tongshan stomped his foot angrily, "I'm going to kill that dog thing that reverses right and wrong!"
Mi Tu hurriedly grabbed the impulsive Yin Tongshan and said: "Tongshan, don't be impulsive, we are waiting for Wei Guogong's 'judgment'" But he stopped suddenly in the middle of his words, because the familiar murderous aura suddenly appeared behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the patrol soldiers he met in front of the camp appeared not far away, and the soldier behind the team was also turning back quickly. Mi Tu's heart tightened, and he asked Yin Tongshan, who had already woken up, "Do that soldiers often patrol here?"
Yin Tongshan has always been steady, just now he was just angry and attacked, and he immediately came to his senses as soon as he was reminded by Mitu, and when he was lamenting his unwisdom, he heard Mitu ask an irrelevant question, and immediately he was stunned, and looked at the team of soldiers carefully and said with a little thought: "There are often soldiers patrolling in front of the big tent, but they are all the personal soldiers of the marshal and the Duke of Wei, and this team has never seen it; ”
Mi Tu didn't seem to hear the words behind Yin Tongshan at all, but still looked at the soldiers in the distance and said, "They are the people of King Yan." ”
Yin Tongshan was thinking about how to help Mitu get through the difficulties, and said casually: "King Yan, what does it matter to King Yan...... Then he was shocked, and asked Mitu with wide eyes: "What are you talking about, the people of King Yan, how can the people of King Yan ......?" He immediately understood the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly looked in the direction where the group of soldiers had left.
Mitu patted Yin Tongshan on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't look at it, they're gone." ”
Yin Tongshan didn't find any trace of the soldiers, and immediately said urgently: "I must immediately report to the Duke of the Kingdom to strengthen his defense, and of course ask him to let you go." ”
Mi Tu looked at Yin Tongshan, who was a little anxious, and said with a smile: "Your kid has always been extremely steady, what's wrong today? ”
Yin Tongshan looked at the extremely relaxed Mitu, and immediately gave him a roll of his eyes, "You still have the heart to laugh after such a big disaster! By the way, I'll go find the third master and uncle, and find a way to protect you together." ”
Mi Tu looked at Yin Tongshan, who was very serious, and his heart was moved for a while, but he grabbed him and whispered: "Now you shouldn't protect me, but you should find a way to let Wei Guogong arrest me." ”
Yin Tongshan looked at Mitu in disbelief and asked, "Senior brother, you don't have a fever, do you?" said and raised his hand to touch Mitu's forehead......
At this moment, he suddenly heard a loud noise from inside the big tent, followed by a chaotic noise, as if someone was angry, Yin Tongshan's heart suddenly lifted, but Mitu smiled faintly. (To be continued.) )
