Dress as a villain
Chapter 108 She wants a general who dares to poke a hornet's nest
The 5000 people accompanying the army set out from the gate of Tianjing in a long queue, and the female general Heixuan Linjia who rode a horse at the head left Tianjing without looking back.
Accompanied by the wedding procession, they escorted Princess Yongning in the incense car to dowry and went west to the North Region together.
After a stick of incense, the common people flocked to the street to look at the vacated avenue. There was no sign of the army, let alone the shadow of the female general.
"The Marshal still went to the Northern Territory."
"Bon voyage Marshal!"
"Be sure to come back safely!"
There are also scholars discussing on the street: "It is a long way to go to the Northern Territory, and the current political situation in the Northern Territory is also unstable. It is a good thing for the Marshal to go to the Northern Territory. At least the Marshal is brave and good at fighting and has never lost a battle. But for us The lord of a country will only feel uneasy when he leaves the capital."
"Isn't there still Your Highness?"
"Your Highness...is a civil servant after all. I have no power to restrain a chicken, if something happens..."
"What do you mean? What kind of prejudice do you have against His Highness Da Jin Fengning! Many new orders were not implemented by His Highness. Without her, how could you have a bright future? It's not that His Highness is protecting everyone!"
"Brother, don't get excited. I don't mean that. I'm afraid that His Highness won't be able to restrain the Xie family. Of course I know that His Highness is a rare monarch in a thousand years, but I'm worried about His Highness!"
"In short, such words must never be said in the future."
But even if you don't say anything and turn a blind eye, can the problem be solved?Obviously not.
Xie Lanzhi naturally considered this point, and Si Qitong naturally also considered it.So this is not a test for Si Qitong.
With so many people in the Xie family, as long as Xie Guangobun stood by Si Qitong's side, no one would dare to disobey.Even if the marshal is not there, the second in command in the army for ten thousand years is also an existence that no one can challenge.
Not to mention that Xie Guang's combat power is second only to Xie Lanzhi.Xie Lanzhi's strength is far superior to that of Superman, so it can't be used as a standard, but Xie Guang is indeed a strong fighter among Hughes.
Xie Guang moved directly outside the palace, which was equivalent to being a guard at the gate.The imperial palace is all Xie Lanzhi's pro-army, these pro-army are no better than Xie Jun outside, they only obey Xie Lanzhi and Si Qitong.For the others, even Xie Guang's orders were not effective.
There are two thousand Xie troops, Xie Feng is still guarding the north gate, and Xie Fengling is already guarding the west gate.The east gate is Xie Guang's army, and only the south gate is the site of other Xie family supervisors.
Behind the South Gate is the nearest place to the Tianjing Abandoned Canal near the river, but the Xie family at the South Gate are all landlubbers.
This arrangement is well known within the Xie family.Xie Yan's lineage did not participate in Xie Yan's struggle, even if they bet on the right treasure, they would still be dying, and they would not be reused until three generations later.
Xie Yan's lineage has now been changed to Xie Shi's lineage, following the old lineage of Eleven Schools.
Xie Shiyi's disability was caused by Xie Yan. He had to guard against his relatives' army falling into his hands, and it was impossible to arrange them in a favorable position.
The concerns of Tianjing scholars are not groundless.
Si Qitong will not be a weak lord who only worries his courtiers.
On the day Xie Lanzhi left, she issued an order to mobilize Ma Jing's descendants, and [-] soldiers from the Nine Jin Dynasty under Ma Hong's command were stationed in Tianjing to assist in the security of the southwest.
This decision caused a stir in the Xie family. Originally, His Highness would only act on agriculture and political affairs, and would never intervene in military affairs.Now that the marshal has just left, she dispatched people, which is simply an act of stealing power by taking advantage of the opportunity!
The Xie family from the South Gate reported to the clan one after another, and then went to Xie Guangna to hope that Xie Guang would come forward to reject this decision.
When Xie Guang heard about this, he pretended to be deaf and dumb.Because he doesn't think it's a big deal to have 9000 people, and they are all sent to the territory of the nasty ghosts to disgust them.Why not do it.
Besides, there are only 9000 people, and they have 10,000+ elites, are they afraid that they will fail?So Xie Guang didn't care.
To the southwest is the only plain at the South Gate, where there are many hills, and a river in the middle is as big as the town, and there are three waterways leading to Weidu, so the transportation is very convenient and suitable for stationing.
If the soldiers of the Nine Jin Dynasty moved in again, the Xie family at the south gate would have to move north and south.The north gate is guarded by Xie Feng, he is the biggest hero in killing Xie Yan's lineage in Fengxi Town.He also hates Xie Yan's lineage the most, how could the Xie family from the South Gate move to his own territory.Not even an inch.
The Xie family at the South Gate knew that they were guilty of sitting together, and they were lucky that they were not deprived of their military power.Xie Shishi, who had just joined him, hated this army, so he ignored it.Already generous.
No matter how dissatisfied the Xie family of the South Gate can only give up this piece of land.
There were also restless people who directly cut off the route. Ma Hong led [-] Jin soldiers into Nanhe, and saw that the only passing road was blocked by giant trees and stones.
Both Ma Hong and Jin Bing wore white silver armor, which Si Qitong spent a lot of money to raise.Under the training of Ma's army's martial arts, this group of Jin soldiers is completely different from the Jin soldiers of Zheng Guogong Bingzhou in Weidu.
The silver-armored Jin soldiers had a dagger tied around their waists and legs.Ma's army has rich experience in melee and mid-range combat, so they wear daggers to deal with close enemies.
Each dagger is a special blade made by the Ministry of Industry.
Ma Hong directly led people to clear the obstacles. After clearing the obstacles with great difficulty, the bridge at the next intersection was directly cut off.
He sneered endlessly: "Could we be able to prevent our Great Jin Yinjia from entering Nanhe Land by playing tricks?"
The school lieutenant beside him also said: "Your Highness ordered us to go to the small town of Hedi before dark, and then we will contact the grain merchants in Weidu on a small wooden embankment in Hedi."
"Is it the royal family from the previous Jin Dynasty?" Ma Hong knew that His Highness had been secretly transferring people who were loyal to her to various places where the new orders were implemented.It's just that there are very few people in her pie, only a handful.
In terms of the important share of Weidu, the Xie family accounted for [-]% and Si Lei accounted for [-]%. The remaining [-]% was divided between Beiyu and Shi Guofu. Cheng is the grain merchant of today's Yinjia Jinbing.
It's so inconspicuous that even Si Lei doesn't bother to pay attention to the fact that the old minister from the previous Jin Dynasty has become a grain merchant.Xie's embankment has been wary of this grain merchant for a while, but this grain merchant only needs a thousand catties of grain each time, and he has to bargain.
This person is called Sima Mingji.Si Qitong's youngest cousin, 20 years old this year.So Mrs. Xie watched for half a year, seeing that Sima Mingji was picky and poor, so he didn't pay much attention, but still sent someone to watch.
The captain said: "Yes, the elder brother of Lu Ping's Maogong, Lord Xiaoning."
"Lu Pinggong? So the Princess Yongning Si Caifeng who traveled with the Marshal is his sister." Ma Hong suddenly thought of such a number one person.
Before the Northern and Southern Regions Alliance, Yelu Prince Li Li had already appointed Princess Yongning as his wife to marry the two countries.
Now that Xie Lanzhi personally took Yongning Princess Si Caifeng to the Northern Territory, even the veteran Han Beiluo had to admit that he was a relative of the country, and sent a lot of gems, sheep and horses as gifts.
Ma Hong said: "Everyone go to chop trees and build bridges. Didn't this general teach you during training!?"
"Yes!" The silver-armored Jin soldiers went up the mountain one after another.
After the bridge was built, Ma Hong took a map and walked around it specially. He thought Xie Jun at the south gate wanted them to go around, so they did.It's nothing to suffer a little, as long as he reaches the small town of Nanhedi.
Ma Hong's journey was particularly bumpy, and he also encountered a huge pit. Xie Jun, who set up obstacles, wanted him to be injured, and he had better be disabled.
At night, Ma Hong barely took 9000 people to the small town of Nanhedi, and 100 people were injured on the way.
Ma Hong couldn't bear this tone, so he took 100 people to the barracks at Nantianmen that night, and set a fire in the kitchen directly.
The barracks kitchen exploded!Xie Jun, who attracted the entire barracks, ran out of the tent without even putting on his clothes, but Ma Hong also slipped away quietly because of this, and then told Si Qitong about the kitchen explosion in a private message.Ma Hong was also dumbfounded, he just wanted to take revenge, but he didn't expect to bump into Xie Jun's secret at the South Gate.
The next day, Xie Meixiang, deputy envoy of Xi Weiwen, personally brought 1000 people to investigate the Nanmen barracks, and seized 150 catties of gunpowder.
Xie Meixiang found that the gunpowder was actually hidden in the kitchen. No wonder the clan sent people to search and failed to find it. It seems that the most dangerous place is the safest place.No one expected that someone would dare to hide such a dangerous thing in the kitchen.
Xie Jun at the south gate did not expect that the gunpowder, which had been separated by a water tank to prevent explosions, was actually ignited by a fire last night.They usually send special guards to cook.He didn't dare to relax at all. Who would have thought that Ma Hong's group would be so courageous that they would dare to set fire.
Now Ma Hong's arson incident is not blamed by Si Qitong and Xie, but is a hero.
The leader of the Xie army at the south gate, Xie Qing and his sons were all arrested by the Xie family, and the one in the middle was captured by Si Qitong's Xiwei, and the south gate general was replaced overnight.The young soldiers and generals below also began to distribute Xie troops to garrison everywhere, breaking them up, and there was no more condensed force.
Xie Lanzhi didn't eradicate them before, it was precisely because the [-] army chose her as the leader, so she gave up three points, as long as they were honest and responsible, they still had the status they should have.Xie Lanzhi managed to distinguish between rewards and punishments.Now that Nanmen Xie Qing committed suicide by himself, it is no wonder that Xie Lanzhi rushed to kill them all.What's more, the person who discovered it was Madam Xie.Not her.
Si Qitong conducted a detailed investigation of Xie Bing, who was at the bottom of the South Gate. This group of people did not have a leader. As long as they are well controlled and they spread their thoughts, they can basically be reformed.
Only hereditary military households are so stubborn.
That night was also the first night Xie Lanzhi left.
The bed in Lanzhang Palace became empty, and no matter how thick the quilt was, it seemed that it could not cover it warmly.Without that person by her side, Si Qitong's heart was very cold.
In the middle of the night, she stood at the gate of the palace wearing a golden phoenix robe, looking up at the brightest star.Reminiscing about their sweet kiss.
Zhang Changle jumped down from the roof at the right time, and whispered: "Master, there are still 72 people who are stubbornly resisting in the south gate, all of which are more than a hundred households. What's more, they are talents in the army. Look..."
Si Qitong stared at the sky with his eyes, and his eyes quickly shifted to the palace. The high ground of Lanzhang Palace overlooks the entire front door building, and the furthest you can see the folk streets.It's pitch black, but surrounded by colorful lights, like a city that never sleeps. The suburbs of Beijing and the Beijing district are really different, just like the difference in identity.
Lanzhi said that although the rich and the poor are big in modern times, the basic life is the prosperity of the country and the people’s safety. People occasionally have small money to go to restaurants. Although the three meals a day are not very delicate, they basically have chicken, duck and fish.
And electricity is something that everyone can afford.
There is no shortage of food in the suburbs of Beijing now, so everyone should have the money to buy candles to light a little bit. When they got married earlier, the area in the suburbs of Beijing was full of spontaneous lights from the people.Now it's pitch black and I can't see anything.
She said: "How is the life of the people in the suburbs of Beijing? Can they afford candles?"
Zhang Changle was puzzled and said: "According to my subordinate's understanding of that area, many merchants in the suburbs of Beijing rented houses from local households, which made many local residents enough to eat and eat. Candles must be affordable. And the Ministry of Industry recently invented An oil lamp will be put into use soon, but compared to my son, candles... are much cheaper."
"In other words, the people in that area can afford candles." Si Qitong's tone was as cold as frost in an instant: "Businessmen don't care about candles if they have money, but why isn't there a lantern in the suburbs of Beijing?"
Zhang Changle suddenly went dumb.He can't say that Xie's curfew is imposed every day, who dares to commit crimes against the wind, the adults in the court have repeatedly impeached Xie's curfew for disturbing the people.Even in the evening, candles are not used.Said it was for safety.In fact, Xie Jun's patrols in that area are the most convenient.As long as the people are confined, they seem to be able to encounter less trouble at night.So the people in that area had to go back at sunset. If they didn't come back in time, they had to wait outside until dawn before going back.
As long as it's dark, people can't go back at the door, there is no such reason in the world.
"You gentleman, don't eat vegetarian food." Si Qitong said: "Send our people to guard that area, and don't learn from Xie's loss of tolerance."
Zhang Changle said: "Your Highness, do the 72 military households of the Xie family need to be sent to the headquarters of the Xie family...."
Si Qitong said indifferently: "Everyone will be executed."
"This palace does not keep useless people."
Turning the subject around, she said again: "Ma Hong made meritorious service as soon as he arrived in the town. How do you think this palace should reward them?"
Zhang Changle didn't think highly of this person, only felt that this person was unruly and not easy to control, but His Highness admired him very much.He also specially entrusted him with the task of training the Jin army.
Since the master asked him all the questions, he had no choice but to say: "General Ma Jing made great contributions when the late emperor was in power, defeating the three generals who went south to the northern regions, and it was also a countable achievement during the late emperor's reign."
It's just that after Ma Jing's death, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered. His son and grandson are good fighters, but they have a straightforward personality and often offend Jingchen. The guards in the town turned out to be Ma Hong, who quit the job and left Tianjing with a group of brothers.Never saw him again.
Only when Shi An Hou Si Qi Nian squandered a lot of money and offended his bullish temper, did he show his face once and was selected by Si Qi Tong.
For Si Qitong, personality is not important for the time being, she only needs talents who can be brave and good at fighting on the battlefield.
"If you really want a reward, at this juncture it is nothing more than pushing him to the forefront. Let Mrs. Xie notice him early." Zhang Changle believes that Ma Hong's bombing of Xie Jun's kitchen at the South Gate is also true, and it is hard to guarantee that Xie Jun will not catch him Take the opportunity to clean him up.
Si Qitong laughed it off: "What are you afraid of? Let's make up an excuse to reward him. Once he becomes proud, he may not even be afraid of Xie Jun."
"Your Highness?" Zhang Changle was very surprised and said, "You did it on purpose? Why?"
Si Qi Tong said: "What I need right now is not someone with great talent and generality, but soldiers who dare to fight against the Xie family without any timidity. Not those vassals who only want to curry favor with the Xie family."
Now in Tianjing, there are too few generals who appear to be strong and unafraid of strength, and it is easy to coax them into a nest.
And the talents she needs now can train an army that won't lose to the Xie family.
Soon in the small town of Nanhedi, what Ma Hong waited for was not a punishment, but a reward.
"The former general of the Ninth Jin Dynasty, now Ma Hong, the guard of the Nanhe District in Xintianjing, has made great achievements in exposing the traitors of the Xie family, so he rewarded 1000 taels of gold, [-] shi of grain, and [-] pieces of white silk cloth. book."
"Your Majesty accepts the order, Your Royal Highness is a thousand years old!" Ma Hong was very excited. He thought that he had caused trouble by blowing up the kitchen, but who knew that he had stabbed a den of thieves, and instead had an embarrassment in front of His Highness.
How lucky he is!
Zhang Changle put away the decree and handed it to Ma Hong, and a row of people behind him pushed the rewards into the town on a cart.
Ma Hong thought that gold and cloth could not be eaten, and they had to rely on Tianjing and Weidu for food, drink and clothing here, so it was better to exchange some real things.
He quickly discussed with Zhang Changle: "Commander Zhang, can you exchange all the gold for food, or stakes, weapons, etc.?"
Zhang Changle took a special look at him, he was really sincere, and he did whatever he wanted.
He promised: "Yes, you don't have to worry about not having enough food, the people below know what to do."
Afterwards, he actually asked people to take away the gold cloth, discounted it to Ma Hong at an approximate price, and then went back to Beijing to find a well-connected merchant to take the business. So I would rather spend a little money to get the food together and send it to the small town of Nanhedi earlier.
The grain transported to Ma Hong was robbed halfway. The leader was a hundred households of the Xie family, and the other party took the grain and left.
Later, the merchant hurriedly informed Ma Hong that he was ready to pay for the food. After all, none of the Jin soldiers dared to fight against Xie Jun, so the merchant thought that he could only suffer from this dumb loss.
Unexpectedly, when Ma Hong heard about this, he was still a hundred households. He led five soldiers to pursue without hesitation, stopped the Xie Baihu, and showed the list to the other party, but the other party directly tore up the list unreasonably, He also wounded Ma Hong alone, insulting Ma Hong as the sick man of Jin.Why are you arrogant?
"The entire Tianjing is protected by our Xie family. If you take some food, you should show respect to labor and capital!"
"I'm Shangguan." Ma Hong was calm enough to argue a few words.
Xie Baihu seemed to have heard some joke. He and the ten people behind him pointed at his nose loudly and laughed: "Did you all hear that? He dares to call himself our Shangguan"
"Why are people from Tianjing worthy of being our officers? The marshal is here to save face. Don't think that you can really ride on our heads."
"That's right, Tianjing is our Xie family's world, so why don't you give your face a slap in the face. Do you owe me a lesson?"
"I think he looks like he's been beaten! Brothers, don't be afraid that there are only five of them!"
As soon as the words fell, the Baihu of the Xie family had already drawn their knives, crossed their waists, and pointed the knives at Ma Hong's nose in a vicious manner, while facing the back of their heads in front of a dozen soldiers, expressing contempt: "Brothers Take care, let's see how the labor and management will fix him, and promise to ask grandpa to tell grandma to let us let him go before a round, this sick man surnamed Ma is really..."
"Puff." The wooden gun in Ma Hong's hand had already pierced his neck, and he pulled it out again, with a plop, blood spurted out, and the blood splashed all over the ground made the laughter cut off, until Xie Baihu's body collapsed Down.
The Xie soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then drew out their sabers angrily: "Presumptuous, how dare you attack us!"
Compared with Mahon's wooden gun, except for the sharpened part, it is an ordinary stick.The five Jin soldiers were also holding sticks, and the weapons were incomparable.
Xie Bing reacted quickly and directly slashed at the Jin soldiers. Ma Hong took the opportunity to shout: "Either we die or they die. Today has caused a catastrophe. We are all men of Da Jin. We cannot let Mrs. Xie step on our heads." !Since they are all dead, it’s better to pull a few backs quickly!"
After the words fell, the five Jin soldiers went from being terrified and stunned, to gradually biting their gums and showing hatred because of Ma Hong's words.
"General Ma is right, Xie Jun is too deceitful, we will not be offended by it!"
"If you want to die, you have to pull a back!"
"Kill one more and earn one more!"
"Just rely on you cowards who rely on us!" Xie soldiers besieged people together, preemptively.
Ma Hong returned his carbine one by one, knocked down five men, and the remaining five were Jin soldiers, each with their swords and sticks colliding with each other, fighting for a moment, and finally Ma Hong directly stabbed five Xie soldiers to death.The other five Xie soldiers killed two Jin soldiers and three Xie soldiers died.
At this time, the two surviving Xie Bing finally realized that this was not the usual Jin Bing who bullied them.It is much more powerful than before.
They were extremely apprehensive at once, and began to remind Ma Hong in a soft tone: "Is it General Ma? It's wrong for the small one to admit it, and the small one also listened to what Baihu said..."
Ma Hong yelled fiercely, stepped forward, and stabbed the remaining two Jin soldiers to death in an instant with a wooden javelin. Even with a stick, he lifted two big men weighing more than 400 catties out of thin air with the stick. The soldier screamed in pain a few times in the air, then bowed his head and swallowed his breath immediately.
After killing ten Xie soldiers, the remaining three Jin soldiers seemed to have exhausted their strength and knelt on the ground with blank faces.
Ma Hong still didn't forget to wipe his gun, gun and head habitually. He just realized that what he was holding was a wooden stick, not the long tassel he used to.
He also stayed where he was, with his head down, making it hard to see his expression clearly.
On the mountain road, someone suddenly threw a stone at his head, in a parabola, very casual throwing, and it wasn't the kind to hit him hard.
Ma Hong swung his stick with his right hand in a circle, directly knocking off the stone above his head, and when he raised his head again, he saw a suit of flying fish brocade, a poinsettia robe, and a large broad sword bestowed by the emperor pinned to his waist.
It's Zhang Feile.
Zhang Feile savored Ma Hong's ruthlessness with great interest, and finally understood why His Highness chose him?It turns out that he and he are the same kind of people, the same kind of people who are unwilling to submit to others.
"General Ma, this commander has seen your murder scene, what do you think should be done?"
At this time, Ma Hong saw that he was finally not calm on the surface, and he would not regret killing this Xie Bing, but when he calmed down, he found that he had failed His Highness's trust.
Ma Hong knelt on the ground on one knee, and clasped his fists at Zhang Feile who was standing on the hillside: "Ma Hong's reckless behavior may never serve His Highness again. If there is a next life, I will be a cow or a horse and I will repay Your Highness's Bole." Affection!"
"I, Ma Hong, do things alone, and have nothing to do with the remaining three brothers!"
"General." The three silver-armored Jin soldiers were stunned.
"Obviously it's all their fault. If they don't grab our food, how can there be a conflict!"
"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about in front of Commander Zhang!" Ma Hong immediately yelled loudly like a tiger roaring to calm down his subordinates.
Zhang Changle waved his hands and lazily replied: "What's the use of telling me, tell yourself!"
"As for Your Highness, I will report it myself, but you should think about how to shoulder this responsibility!"
"I will carry it, it's all my fault!" Ma Hong immediately assured: "I will immediately go to the south gate to plead guilty, because these soldiers are..."
"Stupid!" Zhang Changle stopped him, although he looked at his fighting spirit differently, but right now he couldn't see him being stupid after killing someone.
Zhang Changle looked at the remaining three Jin soldiers, and he drew his broad knife and approached them step by step.
Seeing this, Ma Hong immediately crawled in front of them on his knees and blocked with his arms: "It has nothing to do with them!"
"It has nothing to do with them, can they survive!" Zhang Changle warned him and also reminded him: "Don't be stupid, you have to make a show in time to be sincere. Get out of the way—"
"Come at me if you want!" Ma Hong resolutely refused.
Zhang Changle immediately raised the big broad knife and slashed towards Ma Hong's direction, straight to the head. The three Jin soldiers immediately blocked it with sticks, but they couldn't block the imperial wide knife, Zhang Changle just slashed back easily, The arms, calves, and hair of three Jin soldiers were chopped off.
As the saying goes, the body, hair and skin are taught by parents, and they should not be destroyed unless it is easy.
The three Jin soldiers fell to the ground and thought they were going to die, but all three bundles of black hair were cut off and fell to the ground.
Ma Hong's gaze was shocked, watching Zhang Changle's move: "Commander Zhang made you..."
Zhang Changle retracted the big wide knife into its sheath in front of them, and he sneered: "I hate cowards the most!"
He turned his back to Ma Hong, and walked towards the path on the mountain. His voice came from the hillside at the right time: "But you are a man. Now don't be stupid, go back and wait for the letter."
"But I killed the one named Xie."
"It doesn't matter, it's just the death of a few soldiers. They sneaked up on the superior and disregarded the marshal's order. They should have been hacked to death. General Ma has eliminated dissidents for His Highness. It should be judged as merit, how can it be added to the crime! "Speaking of Zhang Changle, he still laughed fiercely, and his sinister and yang-like laughter made Ma Hong calm down a lot.
Commander Zhang was right, he was right!Ma Hong stood up immediately, and after helping the remaining brothers on the ground, he watched their hair that had been raised for many years be cut off.
He said: "Pick up the hair and wrap the wound, we will wait in the small town! Life or death, this general will accompany you!"
"General, in fact, you shouldn't stop the commander. He is right. You will be safe only if we die!" The three Jin soldiers were not fools, and they could tell that Zhang Changle wanted to take their heads to protect the general.As long as all the faults are pushed to their heads, General Ma may still be able to escape.
Ma Hong just shook his head and didn't answer. He took three, two corpses, and returned to the town.
They left, and soon the Xiwei's people mysteriously pushed away the food, and put the corpses of Xie soldiers in the cart by the way, and cleaned them up.
The news that Ma Hong had killed Xie Baihu and other ten Xie soldiers was passed by Zhang Changle to His Highness Feng Ning's ears.
Si Qitong buried her head in the book case, looking at more and more papers, and Ma Hong was just one of the things she handled.
"Your Highness, this is the whole story. From my subordinate's point of view, it's better to destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces, and just do some tricks to pretend to pass." Zhang Changle said standing in front of her with his head bowed.
A plain white hand held a pen, and the tip of the pen kept circled the key points on the booklet. She didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Zhang Changle also waited quietly, listening to the sound of his master flipping through the pages, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
After the fifth book, Si Qitong finally stopped his pen, and said calmly: "It's not a big problem to kill a few soldiers who violate discipline, and it's not even a matter of being unreasonable."
"You send the body back, report it truthfully, don't hide it, but let everyone know."
What is Xiwei's existence for?It is to have the same privileges as the Department of Punishment, and use some dirty methods to deal with some dirty enemies in the dark.
Zhang Changle immediately understood what His Highness meant, he cupped his fists and quietly withdrew.
Just as Zhang Changle was leaving, Mrs. Xie heard the words of the master inside and was about to turn around and leave the palace when she bumped into Zhang Changle.Almost confronting Zhang Changle, at this moment Zhang Changle's face was gloomy, like a ghost crawling out in the middle of the night, he grabbed Mrs. Xie by the neck and dragged her to the corner.
Afterwards Mrs. Xie came back again, her eyes were glazed, she trembled from time to time, she didn't dare to speak, let alone take a step out of the palace.
Because she was warned that as long as she stepped out of the Lanzhang Palace, she would step into the Palace of the King of Hades.
Xie's mother-in-law has never seen such a battle before, she thought that her surname Xie would only be flattering, but now she realizes the strict hierarchy and unsurmountable status.Even the Xie family is nothing more than a dog's life in the eyes of the master.
Soon Xie Baihu's body was sent to the mortuary, and Xie Guang was notified by the way.
Xie Guang learned that a hundred households and ten Xie soldiers had intercepted the grain of General Ma Hong under His Royal Highness.Ma Hong kept persuading him repeatedly, but Xie Baihu provoked and was killed first. He immediately became furious: "A person with a different surname dares to act presumptuously in front of Xie's family! And since the provocation has not been won, don't say it's us if it spreads." Xie's people!"
Xie Guang has always hated people who have no skills but keep jumping repeatedly.Ten people, ten people can't beat five people!
In particular, hundreds of households were knocked down by guns and guns.
For Xie Guang, it doesn't matter whose fault it is, but someone in Xie's family sent his face to Ma Hong and was beaten, and the issue of face is of great importance.
Even if it wasn't Ma Hong's fault, he couldn't let it go if he got Xie's face.
Xie Guang was thinking about how to make up an excuse to get rid of Ma Hong without offending the mistress.
Someone came to report.
It is said that Ma Hong is now taking three wounded soldiers to Lanzhang Palace to plead guilty.His Highness also personally met him and asked why.
Xie Guang immediately cursed: "Fuck this clever man! Don't think he can live like this!"
Xie Guang immediately picked up his big gun and walked towards Lanzhang Palace.
Now Ma Hong is kneeling with three wounded soldiers in Lanzhang Palace. As soon as Xie Guang arrived, he was going to call out which bastard is Ma Hong, but when he turned his head, he saw the door. They are all about to be wrapped into zongzi.It looks badly hurt.
The one in the lead was even more bruised and swollen, almost out of shape.
Xie Guang: "..."
It just so happened that the master of Lanzhang Palace had spoken.
"General, come in."
"Oh..." Xie Guang put down the gun, and stepped into Lanzhang Palace while looking back.Then when he got upright, Si Qi Tong, who was still working, saluted him.
"Your Highness, outside here is.... Is it the culprit who killed me, Xie Jun!"
Si Qitong glanced at him and saw that he was furious and would explode at any time.
She said calmly: "This matter really needs to be dealt with, but there are more important things that you need to know first, and then talk about this matter."
She held up a stack of rice paper.
"Yes!" Xie Guang immediately walked to the desk and bent down, reaching out his hands to receive the stack of rice paper.
Xie Guang took a closer look and found that all of them were Xie Jun's rotten buckets who lost their bets and then made plans for military rations from various places, including Ma Hong's order, but Ma Hong fought back passively to avoid the military rations being taken away.
After the black fire and medicine incident at the South Gate last time, no matter how stupid Xie Guang was, he knew that this was no longer a single incident, but a series of incidents.Xie Jun's hands and feet are not clean in private, and he often starts with military supplies. Although they all rob the Jin soldiers, where does the food for the Jin soldiers come from?Didn't he know.
All belong to Xie Shi himself.Don't think that the suspicion can be cleared by changing hands. The robbery is foreign food.To put it bluntly, this group of people bullying others has already bullied their own heads.Knowingly committing the same crime!
Xie Guangman's anger was extinguished immediately, and he even felt a little guilty: "Your Highness, I don't know how to deal with this, what do you think?"
Si Qitong gave him a proper arrangement: "The face of the Xie family is the face of the palace."
Xie Guang's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Yes! Mistress, you are right!"
"Although the person under the law is at fault, but Ma Hong overstepped his authority, I have to punish him for a crime. As for the dead Xie Baihu, we can't let him die in vain. Let him die for something worthwhile."
Xie Guang heard the idea of having the best of both worlds, and he thought that if His Highness came forward to do things, his pressure would be relieved.It was easier than killing Ma Hong directly.After all, he just killed Ma Hong and couldn't restore Xie Shi, who was defeated by him [-] out of [-].
It's as embarrassing as it gets out.
Anyway, Xie Baihu is dead, he was wrong in the first place, Xie has raised him for so long, and he should pay back the kindness of his family, since he made this mistake, let him do one last thing for Xie's face contribute.
"Your Highness, all the ministers are at your disposal!"
Si Qitong nodded and said: "I know you are unwilling, so I will give you a chance to vent your anger on Ma Hong's side."
Xie Guang's eyes lit up again, and there is such a good thing, to save face and beat Ma Hong to frighten these outsiders? !
Si Qitong brought up another matter: "I have never forgotten the family rules established by my wife and monarch after the crusade against Xie Yan. No one from the Xie family is allowed to fight privately. If there is any dissatisfaction, you can choose the ring to fight, and finally get it back in a dignified way." A share of justice!"
Xie Guang still remembered this one, which greatly prevented Xie's internal friction, and was very sought after by those who did not like Xie's fighting.He himself thinks it's nothing, but his dog Ying beats this young master and that young master every day, which also makes him very headache.
As long as he said to let her win the ring, Xie Ying would restrain herself a lot.Because there is a special rule in the ring, unless both parties are willing to sign the life and death certificate, otherwise as long as one party does not sign the life and death certificate, the other party cannot beat people to death, or they will be dealt with by military law.
Xie Ying looked down on this unpleasant style of play very much, she couldn't fight to the death, so she simply stopped making trouble.It's kind of useful.
Xie Guang thinks it is a good way, which shows that the mistress's heart is still towards Xie Shi. Even if Ma Hong is her subordinate, she will give Xie Shi a chance to win face, and she can also deter these gangs by winning the ring. outsider.It's the best of both worlds.
Xie Guang clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness's decision, all ministers will not refuse! Let's do it like this!"
And speaking of Xie Ying, his father hasn't seen her come home for several days?Where did this bastard go?

Accompanied by the wedding procession, they escorted Princess Yongning in the incense car to dowry and went west to the North Region together.
After a stick of incense, the common people flocked to the street to look at the vacated avenue. There was no sign of the army, let alone the shadow of the female general.
"The Marshal still went to the Northern Territory."
"Bon voyage Marshal!"
"Be sure to come back safely!"
There are also scholars discussing on the street: "It is a long way to go to the Northern Territory, and the current political situation in the Northern Territory is also unstable. It is a good thing for the Marshal to go to the Northern Territory. At least the Marshal is brave and good at fighting and has never lost a battle. But for us The lord of a country will only feel uneasy when he leaves the capital."
"Isn't there still Your Highness?"
"Your Highness...is a civil servant after all. I have no power to restrain a chicken, if something happens..."
"What do you mean? What kind of prejudice do you have against His Highness Da Jin Fengning! Many new orders were not implemented by His Highness. Without her, how could you have a bright future? It's not that His Highness is protecting everyone!"
"Brother, don't get excited. I don't mean that. I'm afraid that His Highness won't be able to restrain the Xie family. Of course I know that His Highness is a rare monarch in a thousand years, but I'm worried about His Highness!"
"In short, such words must never be said in the future."
But even if you don't say anything and turn a blind eye, can the problem be solved?Obviously not.
Xie Lanzhi naturally considered this point, and Si Qitong naturally also considered it.So this is not a test for Si Qitong.
With so many people in the Xie family, as long as Xie Guangobun stood by Si Qitong's side, no one would dare to disobey.Even if the marshal is not there, the second in command in the army for ten thousand years is also an existence that no one can challenge.
Not to mention that Xie Guang's combat power is second only to Xie Lanzhi.Xie Lanzhi's strength is far superior to that of Superman, so it can't be used as a standard, but Xie Guang is indeed a strong fighter among Hughes.
Xie Guang moved directly outside the palace, which was equivalent to being a guard at the gate.The imperial palace is all Xie Lanzhi's pro-army, these pro-army are no better than Xie Jun outside, they only obey Xie Lanzhi and Si Qitong.For the others, even Xie Guang's orders were not effective.
There are two thousand Xie troops, Xie Feng is still guarding the north gate, and Xie Fengling is already guarding the west gate.The east gate is Xie Guang's army, and only the south gate is the site of other Xie family supervisors.
Behind the South Gate is the nearest place to the Tianjing Abandoned Canal near the river, but the Xie family at the South Gate are all landlubbers.
This arrangement is well known within the Xie family.Xie Yan's lineage did not participate in Xie Yan's struggle, even if they bet on the right treasure, they would still be dying, and they would not be reused until three generations later.
Xie Yan's lineage has now been changed to Xie Shi's lineage, following the old lineage of Eleven Schools.
Xie Shiyi's disability was caused by Xie Yan. He had to guard against his relatives' army falling into his hands, and it was impossible to arrange them in a favorable position.
The concerns of Tianjing scholars are not groundless.
Si Qitong will not be a weak lord who only worries his courtiers.
On the day Xie Lanzhi left, she issued an order to mobilize Ma Jing's descendants, and [-] soldiers from the Nine Jin Dynasty under Ma Hong's command were stationed in Tianjing to assist in the security of the southwest.
This decision caused a stir in the Xie family. Originally, His Highness would only act on agriculture and political affairs, and would never intervene in military affairs.Now that the marshal has just left, she dispatched people, which is simply an act of stealing power by taking advantage of the opportunity!
The Xie family from the South Gate reported to the clan one after another, and then went to Xie Guangna to hope that Xie Guang would come forward to reject this decision.
When Xie Guang heard about this, he pretended to be deaf and dumb.Because he doesn't think it's a big deal to have 9000 people, and they are all sent to the territory of the nasty ghosts to disgust them.Why not do it.
Besides, there are only 9000 people, and they have 10,000+ elites, are they afraid that they will fail?So Xie Guang didn't care.
To the southwest is the only plain at the South Gate, where there are many hills, and a river in the middle is as big as the town, and there are three waterways leading to Weidu, so the transportation is very convenient and suitable for stationing.
If the soldiers of the Nine Jin Dynasty moved in again, the Xie family at the south gate would have to move north and south.The north gate is guarded by Xie Feng, he is the biggest hero in killing Xie Yan's lineage in Fengxi Town.He also hates Xie Yan's lineage the most, how could the Xie family from the South Gate move to his own territory.Not even an inch.
The Xie family at the South Gate knew that they were guilty of sitting together, and they were lucky that they were not deprived of their military power.Xie Shishi, who had just joined him, hated this army, so he ignored it.Already generous.
No matter how dissatisfied the Xie family of the South Gate can only give up this piece of land.
There were also restless people who directly cut off the route. Ma Hong led [-] Jin soldiers into Nanhe, and saw that the only passing road was blocked by giant trees and stones.
Both Ma Hong and Jin Bing wore white silver armor, which Si Qitong spent a lot of money to raise.Under the training of Ma's army's martial arts, this group of Jin soldiers is completely different from the Jin soldiers of Zheng Guogong Bingzhou in Weidu.
The silver-armored Jin soldiers had a dagger tied around their waists and legs.Ma's army has rich experience in melee and mid-range combat, so they wear daggers to deal with close enemies.
Each dagger is a special blade made by the Ministry of Industry.
Ma Hong directly led people to clear the obstacles. After clearing the obstacles with great difficulty, the bridge at the next intersection was directly cut off.
He sneered endlessly: "Could we be able to prevent our Great Jin Yinjia from entering Nanhe Land by playing tricks?"
The school lieutenant beside him also said: "Your Highness ordered us to go to the small town of Hedi before dark, and then we will contact the grain merchants in Weidu on a small wooden embankment in Hedi."
"Is it the royal family from the previous Jin Dynasty?" Ma Hong knew that His Highness had been secretly transferring people who were loyal to her to various places where the new orders were implemented.It's just that there are very few people in her pie, only a handful.
In terms of the important share of Weidu, the Xie family accounted for [-]% and Si Lei accounted for [-]%. The remaining [-]% was divided between Beiyu and Shi Guofu. Cheng is the grain merchant of today's Yinjia Jinbing.
It's so inconspicuous that even Si Lei doesn't bother to pay attention to the fact that the old minister from the previous Jin Dynasty has become a grain merchant.Xie's embankment has been wary of this grain merchant for a while, but this grain merchant only needs a thousand catties of grain each time, and he has to bargain.
This person is called Sima Mingji.Si Qitong's youngest cousin, 20 years old this year.So Mrs. Xie watched for half a year, seeing that Sima Mingji was picky and poor, so he didn't pay much attention, but still sent someone to watch.
The captain said: "Yes, the elder brother of Lu Ping's Maogong, Lord Xiaoning."
"Lu Pinggong? So the Princess Yongning Si Caifeng who traveled with the Marshal is his sister." Ma Hong suddenly thought of such a number one person.
Before the Northern and Southern Regions Alliance, Yelu Prince Li Li had already appointed Princess Yongning as his wife to marry the two countries.
Now that Xie Lanzhi personally took Yongning Princess Si Caifeng to the Northern Territory, even the veteran Han Beiluo had to admit that he was a relative of the country, and sent a lot of gems, sheep and horses as gifts.
Ma Hong said: "Everyone go to chop trees and build bridges. Didn't this general teach you during training!?"
"Yes!" The silver-armored Jin soldiers went up the mountain one after another.
After the bridge was built, Ma Hong took a map and walked around it specially. He thought Xie Jun at the south gate wanted them to go around, so they did.It's nothing to suffer a little, as long as he reaches the small town of Nanhedi.
Ma Hong's journey was particularly bumpy, and he also encountered a huge pit. Xie Jun, who set up obstacles, wanted him to be injured, and he had better be disabled.
At night, Ma Hong barely took 9000 people to the small town of Nanhedi, and 100 people were injured on the way.
Ma Hong couldn't bear this tone, so he took 100 people to the barracks at Nantianmen that night, and set a fire in the kitchen directly.
The barracks kitchen exploded!Xie Jun, who attracted the entire barracks, ran out of the tent without even putting on his clothes, but Ma Hong also slipped away quietly because of this, and then told Si Qitong about the kitchen explosion in a private message.Ma Hong was also dumbfounded, he just wanted to take revenge, but he didn't expect to bump into Xie Jun's secret at the South Gate.
The next day, Xie Meixiang, deputy envoy of Xi Weiwen, personally brought 1000 people to investigate the Nanmen barracks, and seized 150 catties of gunpowder.
Xie Meixiang found that the gunpowder was actually hidden in the kitchen. No wonder the clan sent people to search and failed to find it. It seems that the most dangerous place is the safest place.No one expected that someone would dare to hide such a dangerous thing in the kitchen.
Xie Jun at the south gate did not expect that the gunpowder, which had been separated by a water tank to prevent explosions, was actually ignited by a fire last night.They usually send special guards to cook.He didn't dare to relax at all. Who would have thought that Ma Hong's group would be so courageous that they would dare to set fire.
Now Ma Hong's arson incident is not blamed by Si Qitong and Xie, but is a hero.
The leader of the Xie army at the south gate, Xie Qing and his sons were all arrested by the Xie family, and the one in the middle was captured by Si Qitong's Xiwei, and the south gate general was replaced overnight.The young soldiers and generals below also began to distribute Xie troops to garrison everywhere, breaking them up, and there was no more condensed force.
Xie Lanzhi didn't eradicate them before, it was precisely because the [-] army chose her as the leader, so she gave up three points, as long as they were honest and responsible, they still had the status they should have.Xie Lanzhi managed to distinguish between rewards and punishments.Now that Nanmen Xie Qing committed suicide by himself, it is no wonder that Xie Lanzhi rushed to kill them all.What's more, the person who discovered it was Madam Xie.Not her.
Si Qitong conducted a detailed investigation of Xie Bing, who was at the bottom of the South Gate. This group of people did not have a leader. As long as they are well controlled and they spread their thoughts, they can basically be reformed.
Only hereditary military households are so stubborn.
That night was also the first night Xie Lanzhi left.
The bed in Lanzhang Palace became empty, and no matter how thick the quilt was, it seemed that it could not cover it warmly.Without that person by her side, Si Qitong's heart was very cold.
In the middle of the night, she stood at the gate of the palace wearing a golden phoenix robe, looking up at the brightest star.Reminiscing about their sweet kiss.
Zhang Changle jumped down from the roof at the right time, and whispered: "Master, there are still 72 people who are stubbornly resisting in the south gate, all of which are more than a hundred households. What's more, they are talents in the army. Look..."
Si Qitong stared at the sky with his eyes, and his eyes quickly shifted to the palace. The high ground of Lanzhang Palace overlooks the entire front door building, and the furthest you can see the folk streets.It's pitch black, but surrounded by colorful lights, like a city that never sleeps. The suburbs of Beijing and the Beijing district are really different, just like the difference in identity.
Lanzhi said that although the rich and the poor are big in modern times, the basic life is the prosperity of the country and the people’s safety. People occasionally have small money to go to restaurants. Although the three meals a day are not very delicate, they basically have chicken, duck and fish.
And electricity is something that everyone can afford.
There is no shortage of food in the suburbs of Beijing now, so everyone should have the money to buy candles to light a little bit. When they got married earlier, the area in the suburbs of Beijing was full of spontaneous lights from the people.Now it's pitch black and I can't see anything.
She said: "How is the life of the people in the suburbs of Beijing? Can they afford candles?"
Zhang Changle was puzzled and said: "According to my subordinate's understanding of that area, many merchants in the suburbs of Beijing rented houses from local households, which made many local residents enough to eat and eat. Candles must be affordable. And the Ministry of Industry recently invented An oil lamp will be put into use soon, but compared to my son, candles... are much cheaper."
"In other words, the people in that area can afford candles." Si Qitong's tone was as cold as frost in an instant: "Businessmen don't care about candles if they have money, but why isn't there a lantern in the suburbs of Beijing?"
Zhang Changle suddenly went dumb.He can't say that Xie's curfew is imposed every day, who dares to commit crimes against the wind, the adults in the court have repeatedly impeached Xie's curfew for disturbing the people.Even in the evening, candles are not used.Said it was for safety.In fact, Xie Jun's patrols in that area are the most convenient.As long as the people are confined, they seem to be able to encounter less trouble at night.So the people in that area had to go back at sunset. If they didn't come back in time, they had to wait outside until dawn before going back.
As long as it's dark, people can't go back at the door, there is no such reason in the world.
"You gentleman, don't eat vegetarian food." Si Qitong said: "Send our people to guard that area, and don't learn from Xie's loss of tolerance."
Zhang Changle said: "Your Highness, do the 72 military households of the Xie family need to be sent to the headquarters of the Xie family...."
Si Qitong said indifferently: "Everyone will be executed."
"This palace does not keep useless people."
Turning the subject around, she said again: "Ma Hong made meritorious service as soon as he arrived in the town. How do you think this palace should reward them?"
Zhang Changle didn't think highly of this person, only felt that this person was unruly and not easy to control, but His Highness admired him very much.He also specially entrusted him with the task of training the Jin army.
Since the master asked him all the questions, he had no choice but to say: "General Ma Jing made great contributions when the late emperor was in power, defeating the three generals who went south to the northern regions, and it was also a countable achievement during the late emperor's reign."
It's just that after Ma Jing's death, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered. His son and grandson are good fighters, but they have a straightforward personality and often offend Jingchen. The guards in the town turned out to be Ma Hong, who quit the job and left Tianjing with a group of brothers.Never saw him again.
Only when Shi An Hou Si Qi Nian squandered a lot of money and offended his bullish temper, did he show his face once and was selected by Si Qi Tong.
For Si Qitong, personality is not important for the time being, she only needs talents who can be brave and good at fighting on the battlefield.
"If you really want a reward, at this juncture it is nothing more than pushing him to the forefront. Let Mrs. Xie notice him early." Zhang Changle believes that Ma Hong's bombing of Xie Jun's kitchen at the South Gate is also true, and it is hard to guarantee that Xie Jun will not catch him Take the opportunity to clean him up.
Si Qitong laughed it off: "What are you afraid of? Let's make up an excuse to reward him. Once he becomes proud, he may not even be afraid of Xie Jun."
"Your Highness?" Zhang Changle was very surprised and said, "You did it on purpose? Why?"
Si Qi Tong said: "What I need right now is not someone with great talent and generality, but soldiers who dare to fight against the Xie family without any timidity. Not those vassals who only want to curry favor with the Xie family."
Now in Tianjing, there are too few generals who appear to be strong and unafraid of strength, and it is easy to coax them into a nest.
And the talents she needs now can train an army that won't lose to the Xie family.
Soon in the small town of Nanhedi, what Ma Hong waited for was not a punishment, but a reward.
"The former general of the Ninth Jin Dynasty, now Ma Hong, the guard of the Nanhe District in Xintianjing, has made great achievements in exposing the traitors of the Xie family, so he rewarded 1000 taels of gold, [-] shi of grain, and [-] pieces of white silk cloth. book."
"Your Majesty accepts the order, Your Royal Highness is a thousand years old!" Ma Hong was very excited. He thought that he had caused trouble by blowing up the kitchen, but who knew that he had stabbed a den of thieves, and instead had an embarrassment in front of His Highness.
How lucky he is!
Zhang Changle put away the decree and handed it to Ma Hong, and a row of people behind him pushed the rewards into the town on a cart.
Ma Hong thought that gold and cloth could not be eaten, and they had to rely on Tianjing and Weidu for food, drink and clothing here, so it was better to exchange some real things.
He quickly discussed with Zhang Changle: "Commander Zhang, can you exchange all the gold for food, or stakes, weapons, etc.?"
Zhang Changle took a special look at him, he was really sincere, and he did whatever he wanted.
He promised: "Yes, you don't have to worry about not having enough food, the people below know what to do."
Afterwards, he actually asked people to take away the gold cloth, discounted it to Ma Hong at an approximate price, and then went back to Beijing to find a well-connected merchant to take the business. So I would rather spend a little money to get the food together and send it to the small town of Nanhedi earlier.
The grain transported to Ma Hong was robbed halfway. The leader was a hundred households of the Xie family, and the other party took the grain and left.
Later, the merchant hurriedly informed Ma Hong that he was ready to pay for the food. After all, none of the Jin soldiers dared to fight against Xie Jun, so the merchant thought that he could only suffer from this dumb loss.
Unexpectedly, when Ma Hong heard about this, he was still a hundred households. He led five soldiers to pursue without hesitation, stopped the Xie Baihu, and showed the list to the other party, but the other party directly tore up the list unreasonably, He also wounded Ma Hong alone, insulting Ma Hong as the sick man of Jin.Why are you arrogant?
"The entire Tianjing is protected by our Xie family. If you take some food, you should show respect to labor and capital!"
"I'm Shangguan." Ma Hong was calm enough to argue a few words.
Xie Baihu seemed to have heard some joke. He and the ten people behind him pointed at his nose loudly and laughed: "Did you all hear that? He dares to call himself our Shangguan"
"Why are people from Tianjing worthy of being our officers? The marshal is here to save face. Don't think that you can really ride on our heads."
"That's right, Tianjing is our Xie family's world, so why don't you give your face a slap in the face. Do you owe me a lesson?"
"I think he looks like he's been beaten! Brothers, don't be afraid that there are only five of them!"
As soon as the words fell, the Baihu of the Xie family had already drawn their knives, crossed their waists, and pointed the knives at Ma Hong's nose in a vicious manner, while facing the back of their heads in front of a dozen soldiers, expressing contempt: "Brothers Take care, let's see how the labor and management will fix him, and promise to ask grandpa to tell grandma to let us let him go before a round, this sick man surnamed Ma is really..."
"Puff." The wooden gun in Ma Hong's hand had already pierced his neck, and he pulled it out again, with a plop, blood spurted out, and the blood splashed all over the ground made the laughter cut off, until Xie Baihu's body collapsed Down.
The Xie soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then drew out their sabers angrily: "Presumptuous, how dare you attack us!"
Compared with Mahon's wooden gun, except for the sharpened part, it is an ordinary stick.The five Jin soldiers were also holding sticks, and the weapons were incomparable.
Xie Bing reacted quickly and directly slashed at the Jin soldiers. Ma Hong took the opportunity to shout: "Either we die or they die. Today has caused a catastrophe. We are all men of Da Jin. We cannot let Mrs. Xie step on our heads." !Since they are all dead, it’s better to pull a few backs quickly!"
After the words fell, the five Jin soldiers went from being terrified and stunned, to gradually biting their gums and showing hatred because of Ma Hong's words.
"General Ma is right, Xie Jun is too deceitful, we will not be offended by it!"
"If you want to die, you have to pull a back!"
"Kill one more and earn one more!"
"Just rely on you cowards who rely on us!" Xie soldiers besieged people together, preemptively.
Ma Hong returned his carbine one by one, knocked down five men, and the remaining five were Jin soldiers, each with their swords and sticks colliding with each other, fighting for a moment, and finally Ma Hong directly stabbed five Xie soldiers to death.The other five Xie soldiers killed two Jin soldiers and three Xie soldiers died.
At this time, the two surviving Xie Bing finally realized that this was not the usual Jin Bing who bullied them.It is much more powerful than before.
They were extremely apprehensive at once, and began to remind Ma Hong in a soft tone: "Is it General Ma? It's wrong for the small one to admit it, and the small one also listened to what Baihu said..."
Ma Hong yelled fiercely, stepped forward, and stabbed the remaining two Jin soldiers to death in an instant with a wooden javelin. Even with a stick, he lifted two big men weighing more than 400 catties out of thin air with the stick. The soldier screamed in pain a few times in the air, then bowed his head and swallowed his breath immediately.
After killing ten Xie soldiers, the remaining three Jin soldiers seemed to have exhausted their strength and knelt on the ground with blank faces.
Ma Hong still didn't forget to wipe his gun, gun and head habitually. He just realized that what he was holding was a wooden stick, not the long tassel he used to.
He also stayed where he was, with his head down, making it hard to see his expression clearly.
On the mountain road, someone suddenly threw a stone at his head, in a parabola, very casual throwing, and it wasn't the kind to hit him hard.
Ma Hong swung his stick with his right hand in a circle, directly knocking off the stone above his head, and when he raised his head again, he saw a suit of flying fish brocade, a poinsettia robe, and a large broad sword bestowed by the emperor pinned to his waist.
It's Zhang Feile.
Zhang Feile savored Ma Hong's ruthlessness with great interest, and finally understood why His Highness chose him?It turns out that he and he are the same kind of people, the same kind of people who are unwilling to submit to others.
"General Ma, this commander has seen your murder scene, what do you think should be done?"
At this time, Ma Hong saw that he was finally not calm on the surface, and he would not regret killing this Xie Bing, but when he calmed down, he found that he had failed His Highness's trust.
Ma Hong knelt on the ground on one knee, and clasped his fists at Zhang Feile who was standing on the hillside: "Ma Hong's reckless behavior may never serve His Highness again. If there is a next life, I will be a cow or a horse and I will repay Your Highness's Bole." Affection!"
"I, Ma Hong, do things alone, and have nothing to do with the remaining three brothers!"
"General." The three silver-armored Jin soldiers were stunned.
"Obviously it's all their fault. If they don't grab our food, how can there be a conflict!"
"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about in front of Commander Zhang!" Ma Hong immediately yelled loudly like a tiger roaring to calm down his subordinates.
Zhang Changle waved his hands and lazily replied: "What's the use of telling me, tell yourself!"
"As for Your Highness, I will report it myself, but you should think about how to shoulder this responsibility!"
"I will carry it, it's all my fault!" Ma Hong immediately assured: "I will immediately go to the south gate to plead guilty, because these soldiers are..."
"Stupid!" Zhang Changle stopped him, although he looked at his fighting spirit differently, but right now he couldn't see him being stupid after killing someone.
Zhang Changle looked at the remaining three Jin soldiers, and he drew his broad knife and approached them step by step.
Seeing this, Ma Hong immediately crawled in front of them on his knees and blocked with his arms: "It has nothing to do with them!"
"It has nothing to do with them, can they survive!" Zhang Changle warned him and also reminded him: "Don't be stupid, you have to make a show in time to be sincere. Get out of the way—"
"Come at me if you want!" Ma Hong resolutely refused.
Zhang Changle immediately raised the big broad knife and slashed towards Ma Hong's direction, straight to the head. The three Jin soldiers immediately blocked it with sticks, but they couldn't block the imperial wide knife, Zhang Changle just slashed back easily, The arms, calves, and hair of three Jin soldiers were chopped off.
As the saying goes, the body, hair and skin are taught by parents, and they should not be destroyed unless it is easy.
The three Jin soldiers fell to the ground and thought they were going to die, but all three bundles of black hair were cut off and fell to the ground.
Ma Hong's gaze was shocked, watching Zhang Changle's move: "Commander Zhang made you..."
Zhang Changle retracted the big wide knife into its sheath in front of them, and he sneered: "I hate cowards the most!"
He turned his back to Ma Hong, and walked towards the path on the mountain. His voice came from the hillside at the right time: "But you are a man. Now don't be stupid, go back and wait for the letter."
"But I killed the one named Xie."
"It doesn't matter, it's just the death of a few soldiers. They sneaked up on the superior and disregarded the marshal's order. They should have been hacked to death. General Ma has eliminated dissidents for His Highness. It should be judged as merit, how can it be added to the crime! "Speaking of Zhang Changle, he still laughed fiercely, and his sinister and yang-like laughter made Ma Hong calm down a lot.
Commander Zhang was right, he was right!Ma Hong stood up immediately, and after helping the remaining brothers on the ground, he watched their hair that had been raised for many years be cut off.
He said: "Pick up the hair and wrap the wound, we will wait in the small town! Life or death, this general will accompany you!"
"General, in fact, you shouldn't stop the commander. He is right. You will be safe only if we die!" The three Jin soldiers were not fools, and they could tell that Zhang Changle wanted to take their heads to protect the general.As long as all the faults are pushed to their heads, General Ma may still be able to escape.
Ma Hong just shook his head and didn't answer. He took three, two corpses, and returned to the town.
They left, and soon the Xiwei's people mysteriously pushed away the food, and put the corpses of Xie soldiers in the cart by the way, and cleaned them up.
The news that Ma Hong had killed Xie Baihu and other ten Xie soldiers was passed by Zhang Changle to His Highness Feng Ning's ears.
Si Qitong buried her head in the book case, looking at more and more papers, and Ma Hong was just one of the things she handled.
"Your Highness, this is the whole story. From my subordinate's point of view, it's better to destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces, and just do some tricks to pretend to pass." Zhang Changle said standing in front of her with his head bowed.
A plain white hand held a pen, and the tip of the pen kept circled the key points on the booklet. She didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Zhang Changle also waited quietly, listening to the sound of his master flipping through the pages, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
After the fifth book, Si Qitong finally stopped his pen, and said calmly: "It's not a big problem to kill a few soldiers who violate discipline, and it's not even a matter of being unreasonable."
"You send the body back, report it truthfully, don't hide it, but let everyone know."
What is Xiwei's existence for?It is to have the same privileges as the Department of Punishment, and use some dirty methods to deal with some dirty enemies in the dark.
Zhang Changle immediately understood what His Highness meant, he cupped his fists and quietly withdrew.
Just as Zhang Changle was leaving, Mrs. Xie heard the words of the master inside and was about to turn around and leave the palace when she bumped into Zhang Changle.Almost confronting Zhang Changle, at this moment Zhang Changle's face was gloomy, like a ghost crawling out in the middle of the night, he grabbed Mrs. Xie by the neck and dragged her to the corner.
Afterwards Mrs. Xie came back again, her eyes were glazed, she trembled from time to time, she didn't dare to speak, let alone take a step out of the palace.
Because she was warned that as long as she stepped out of the Lanzhang Palace, she would step into the Palace of the King of Hades.
Xie's mother-in-law has never seen such a battle before, she thought that her surname Xie would only be flattering, but now she realizes the strict hierarchy and unsurmountable status.Even the Xie family is nothing more than a dog's life in the eyes of the master.
Soon Xie Baihu's body was sent to the mortuary, and Xie Guang was notified by the way.
Xie Guang learned that a hundred households and ten Xie soldiers had intercepted the grain of General Ma Hong under His Royal Highness.Ma Hong kept persuading him repeatedly, but Xie Baihu provoked and was killed first. He immediately became furious: "A person with a different surname dares to act presumptuously in front of Xie's family! And since the provocation has not been won, don't say it's us if it spreads." Xie's people!"
Xie Guang has always hated people who have no skills but keep jumping repeatedly.Ten people, ten people can't beat five people!
In particular, hundreds of households were knocked down by guns and guns.
For Xie Guang, it doesn't matter whose fault it is, but someone in Xie's family sent his face to Ma Hong and was beaten, and the issue of face is of great importance.
Even if it wasn't Ma Hong's fault, he couldn't let it go if he got Xie's face.
Xie Guang was thinking about how to make up an excuse to get rid of Ma Hong without offending the mistress.
Someone came to report.
It is said that Ma Hong is now taking three wounded soldiers to Lanzhang Palace to plead guilty.His Highness also personally met him and asked why.
Xie Guang immediately cursed: "Fuck this clever man! Don't think he can live like this!"
Xie Guang immediately picked up his big gun and walked towards Lanzhang Palace.
Now Ma Hong is kneeling with three wounded soldiers in Lanzhang Palace. As soon as Xie Guang arrived, he was going to call out which bastard is Ma Hong, but when he turned his head, he saw the door. They are all about to be wrapped into zongzi.It looks badly hurt.
The one in the lead was even more bruised and swollen, almost out of shape.
Xie Guang: "..."
It just so happened that the master of Lanzhang Palace had spoken.
"General, come in."
"Oh..." Xie Guang put down the gun, and stepped into Lanzhang Palace while looking back.Then when he got upright, Si Qi Tong, who was still working, saluted him.
"Your Highness, outside here is.... Is it the culprit who killed me, Xie Jun!"
Si Qitong glanced at him and saw that he was furious and would explode at any time.
She said calmly: "This matter really needs to be dealt with, but there are more important things that you need to know first, and then talk about this matter."
She held up a stack of rice paper.
"Yes!" Xie Guang immediately walked to the desk and bent down, reaching out his hands to receive the stack of rice paper.
Xie Guang took a closer look and found that all of them were Xie Jun's rotten buckets who lost their bets and then made plans for military rations from various places, including Ma Hong's order, but Ma Hong fought back passively to avoid the military rations being taken away.
After the black fire and medicine incident at the South Gate last time, no matter how stupid Xie Guang was, he knew that this was no longer a single incident, but a series of incidents.Xie Jun's hands and feet are not clean in private, and he often starts with military supplies. Although they all rob the Jin soldiers, where does the food for the Jin soldiers come from?Didn't he know.
All belong to Xie Shi himself.Don't think that the suspicion can be cleared by changing hands. The robbery is foreign food.To put it bluntly, this group of people bullying others has already bullied their own heads.Knowingly committing the same crime!
Xie Guangman's anger was extinguished immediately, and he even felt a little guilty: "Your Highness, I don't know how to deal with this, what do you think?"
Si Qitong gave him a proper arrangement: "The face of the Xie family is the face of the palace."
Xie Guang's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Yes! Mistress, you are right!"
"Although the person under the law is at fault, but Ma Hong overstepped his authority, I have to punish him for a crime. As for the dead Xie Baihu, we can't let him die in vain. Let him die for something worthwhile."
Xie Guang heard the idea of having the best of both worlds, and he thought that if His Highness came forward to do things, his pressure would be relieved.It was easier than killing Ma Hong directly.After all, he just killed Ma Hong and couldn't restore Xie Shi, who was defeated by him [-] out of [-].
It's as embarrassing as it gets out.
Anyway, Xie Baihu is dead, he was wrong in the first place, Xie has raised him for so long, and he should pay back the kindness of his family, since he made this mistake, let him do one last thing for Xie's face contribute.
"Your Highness, all the ministers are at your disposal!"
Si Qitong nodded and said: "I know you are unwilling, so I will give you a chance to vent your anger on Ma Hong's side."
Xie Guang's eyes lit up again, and there is such a good thing, to save face and beat Ma Hong to frighten these outsiders? !
Si Qitong brought up another matter: "I have never forgotten the family rules established by my wife and monarch after the crusade against Xie Yan. No one from the Xie family is allowed to fight privately. If there is any dissatisfaction, you can choose the ring to fight, and finally get it back in a dignified way." A share of justice!"
Xie Guang still remembered this one, which greatly prevented Xie's internal friction, and was very sought after by those who did not like Xie's fighting.He himself thinks it's nothing, but his dog Ying beats this young master and that young master every day, which also makes him very headache.
As long as he said to let her win the ring, Xie Ying would restrain herself a lot.Because there is a special rule in the ring, unless both parties are willing to sign the life and death certificate, otherwise as long as one party does not sign the life and death certificate, the other party cannot beat people to death, or they will be dealt with by military law.
Xie Ying looked down on this unpleasant style of play very much, she couldn't fight to the death, so she simply stopped making trouble.It's kind of useful.
Xie Guang thinks it is a good way, which shows that the mistress's heart is still towards Xie Shi. Even if Ma Hong is her subordinate, she will give Xie Shi a chance to win face, and she can also deter these gangs by winning the ring. outsider.It's the best of both worlds.
Xie Guang clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness's decision, all ministers will not refuse! Let's do it like this!"
And speaking of Xie Ying, his father hasn't seen her come home for several days?Where did this bastard go?
