Twilight Boundary

"Comrade!"

No one can imagine the weight these two words bring when they echo in the spiritual world of another world, including the person who said these two words and the person who heard these two words.

This world has laws, and words also have weight, but it seems that all the words added together are not as heavy as these two words, so, in this dark silence, it seems that silent waves are rolling.

For a long time, for a long time, for a long time.

Some people are faintly sobbing, some people are sighing lowly, and some people are patting their thighs hard and gritting their teeth.

Someone suddenly laughs with relief, and then gives the most weighty answer in a very light voice:

"Okay!"

"..."

At this moment, Hu Ma seemed to be enveloped by the sudden relaxation, and even the taut waist loosened.

I can't describe the complicated feeling, wanting to cry and laugh.

Because Laojunmei gave me that gift, I have long accepted my identity as a person in my previous life, and all those memories and beliefs, but because I was suddenly told my true identity, I felt alienated.

Although I know the charm of these two words, when I said them, I actually felt ashamed in my heart, fearing that I was not qualified to say them.

Earlier, I was determined to go from Laoyin Mountain to Shangjing, led the people's lives, faced the national teacher, and took ten incense sticks.

It seems indestructible, but I know how much of my heart is pretended.

I have been thinking that what I see is what I think, and what I think is where I am, which is nothing more than a self-comforting word.

The words are firm, the life is taken, and the road is clear, but to put it bluntly, this heart has been hanging.

Until now, when these two words are spoken, no one mocks me, ridicules me for not being worthy, and even responds to me.

Finally, this heart has become steady.

With the most awesome group of people from the other world helping him, what was there to be afraid of?

This night was spent in peace, and when they set off the next day, it was still peaceful. Lao Suanpan and Xiao Hongtang didn't know what happened that night, and the grain-protecting army was eager to go home.

Only when the troops continued to set off, Erguotou hesitated, and appeared in front of him at noon, a rough old man, but his eyes looked red.

"You kid..."

He pointed at Hu Ma, wanting to say something but stopping, sighing, for a long time, but just said: "Too cruel."

Hu Ma apologized and wanted to speak.

"Stop."

Erguotou suddenly stopped him and said: "Don't say anything with personal feelings to insult us."

"There will be many people to help you, help you, there is no need for you to be hypocritical here."

"..."

Hu Ma understood what he meant, so he just nodded, and the troops moved again, heading straight to Mingzhou.

The day when the grain-protecting army returned to Mingzhou was also the day when the general of grain protection left Mingzhou. The six surnames had already made arrangements in various places in the world, and they did not know how many problems they had set up. But since they had received the promise of the reincarnated person, they also had confidence in their hearts.

If it were normal, the army would have to travel from Shangjing to Mingzhou for more than a month, but now this grain-protecting army was washed by the purple air, had a solid foundation, and each of them carried a large bag of blood Tai Sui.

Even if they only ate a little bit of the size of a fingernail during the rest time, they would be full of energy for the whole day. In addition, the army was everywhere, and the evil spirits were scattered, so they returned smoothly all the way.

It took less than 20 days to cross Guanzhou and see the border of Mingzhou from afar.

It seemed that they could return the grain-protecting army after a few more days of rushing, but on this day, they saw an old fortune-teller holding a divination flag waiting on the side of the road. When they saw Hu Ma riding a horse from a distance, they suddenly rushed to the side of the road and kowtowed.

The grain-protecting soldiers next to him were well-trained. Before he could raise his head, the weapons were pointed at his face, which frightened the fortune-teller with two mustaches.

"One of us, one of us."

The old abacus recognized the man after seeing his fortune-telling flag and the wooden frame on his back, and hurriedly asked him to let him go.

"Why are you blocking the way here? Do you want to replace me and keep you by the side of the chief priest?"

"No, I'm here to report the news."

The fortune teller also waved his hand and revealed his identity. After confirming who was Hu Ma, he hurriedly came up and kowtowed: "I am a wandering disciple of the Daluo Fajiao, and I pay my respects to the chief priest master."

"Don't kneel if you have nothing to do."

Hu Ma looked at him and said, "Do you have something to say?"

The other party hurriedly stood up, patted the dirt on his knees, and said, "There is a turmoil in Mingzhou. I am afraid that the chief priest doesn't know, so I specially remind him."

Hu Ma was stunned: "Trouble?"

The other party said, "Yes, someone under the general Baoliang rebelled."

Hu Ma's face changed slightly when he heard this.

To chase the destiny and fight against the six surnames, someone needs to be the emperor. The reincarnated person cannot be the emperor because he is not grown in this soil, and he is destined to carry other things.

Therefore, the emperor seed is a very important and crucial link. His "prosperity" depends on him, and this battle also depends on him.

Now he hasn't even started to fight with the ten surnames, but his own people have rebelled first. If he only has this little foundation, how can he fight with the self-made kings supported by others on the battlefield?

After asking carefully, he learned about Yang Gong's current situation.

In the final analysis, it is still related to the 10,000 soldiers he borrowed.

The current General Baoliang is very famous in Mingzhou and the surrounding Gunzhou, Guazhou, and Guanzhou. He already has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. If he adds the friendly White Armor Army and the Iron Fence Army in the south, it is no problem to gather a hundred thousand troops.

But reputation is reputation. After all, the real elite soldiers and assets under his command are only these ten thousand soldiers.

With these ten thousand soldiers, they can suppress tens of thousands of arrogant soldiers and generals, and can suppress the land of a state and a million people.

But Yang Gong was too generous. With a wave of his hand, he borrowed these ten thousand personal soldiers. In this way, he suddenly had nothing around him.

Although Erguotou did not fail to consider this point and deliberately left many masters around him to protect him, those who had recently surrendered and were subdued by the General Baoliang, the mixed group of fierce bandits and fierce generals, also had thoughts that they should not have.

Taking advantage of the oily head, he wanted to rebel, force the general who protects grain to give up his position, and seize Mingzhou with internal and external cooperation.

Of course, the occurrence of such things is actually related to Yang Gong's strict military discipline. How can a grass-roots king raise soldiers and horses as real as him? He really remembered Hu Ma's words.

Remember where you come from, the laws are strict, the orders are enforced, not a grain is collected more, and the people are not violated. It's a pity that the eight words of "no violation, orders are enforced" are easy to say but too difficult to do.

Soldiers and horses are also living people, they also have anger and desires in their hearts. If they are not satisfied, how can we expect them to work hard?

Looking around, it's not that there are no grass-roots kings in the world who want to train a good army that can fight and have a good reputation, but many people just don't have that ability.

"Is there a riot in Mingzhou?"

When Erguotou heard this, he was immediately shocked and angry: "I borrowed his troops, and he can't be allowed to get into trouble."

"I'll rush back and save his life first."

"..."

When Hu Ma saw this, he stopped him and said: "You borrowed the grain-protecting army with a pledge, so you should return it to him."

"I'll go first and rush to Mingzhou to protect him. You just lead the army and rush to Mingzhou."

"..."

Erguotou knew that no matter who got back to Mingzhou first between him and Hu Ma, they would protect the general who protected the grain, so he agreed, and Hu Ma didn't say anything more, and reined in his horse and walked into the weeds on the side of the road.

Everyone was watching, and they saw Hu Ma walking deeper and deeper. When the weeds completely covered Hu Ma's figure, they could only hear a gust of wind whistling, blowing the sky and the earth dark.

After a while, the wind stopped and the clouds dispersed, and the horse slowly walked back by itself, but Hu Ma was gone.

All kinds of magic will be affected when performed in front of people, so the rule is passed down that they should be performed behind people's backs, or even under the cover of night. However, Hu Ma's current skills are no longer applicable.

He just turned his back to everyone's gaze, jumped off the horse, and used his sky-measuring boots to shrink the earth into an inch.

In an instant, he saw the boundless wilderness in front of him, which was suddenly pulled madly in front of him. The huge mountain in front of him, which looked tall and majestic, swayed and flashed under his feet like a small mound of earth. The aura was strong, like a giant running wildly on the earth.

From here to Mingzhou, it takes ordinary people several days to travel. He didn't even need half an incense stick of time to see Mingzhou City from a distance. He also saw that the city inside and outside Mingzhou City were now in a state of chaos, with flags and shouts everywhere.

Perhaps they were worried that the general who was responsible for protecting grain would send out his confidants from the city to call for reinforcements. These rebel troops surrounded Mingzhou Prefecture very tightly. No matter where they went, they had to pass through the rebel troops.

This point would affect the effect of the magic in the sect. Often, even if they had real skills, they would need to find a place with few people first and then find a suitable method to enter the city in this situation.

But Hu Ma ignored it, and shrunk the ground into an inch. When he arrived in front of the city, he showed his figure. When the rebel troops came to ask him, he only took a step and saw the city wall that was dozens of feet high in front of him. With a tip of his toes, he had already rushed to the top of the city and entered the city.

The rebel troops behind him didn't even react. They only saw a figure in a cloth robe, which appeared briefly in the army and then disappeared again.

While entering the city, Hu Ma's figure was slightly restrained, between life and death. His figure flashed several times and came to the front of the city.

From a distance, Yang Gong was now on the top of the city, sitting under the big flag.

He was surrounded by masters from the Red Lantern Society and thousands of soldiers guarding the city gates. He was fine for the time being.

He was still thinking about whether to see what was going on first, but he didn't expect that he had just flashed through the soldiers protecting Yang Gong and came to the next building, and then he heard a surprised shout from Yang Gong:

"Good luck to Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu, good luck to Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu, and Mr. Hu's golden gun will never fall..."

"..."

"This little thing is sometimes embarrassing..."

Hu Ma was speechless, and thought, where did this little ghost Yang Gong learn so many new words?

When they heard the little ghost shouting, Yang Gong and others were all startled, and then turned their heads in surprise, and saw Hu Ma walking up from the steps next to him.

Facing the little ghost servant who was rushing up to kowtow joyfully, Hu Ma also paused for a moment, took out an oil-paper bag from his bosom, and gave it a pound of blood food...

...Fortunately, I just cut a large piece in Shangjing!

Otherwise, this time, I would have to borrow blood food from Sister Hongtang again before I could reward it.

"Ah yo..."

The masters of the Red Lantern Society around Yang Gong were also Hu Ma's old acquaintances, so they naturally recognized him.

Before he could say hello, he first saw the large piece of blood food that Hu Ma rewarded the little angel, and his eyes suddenly went straight.

Is this damn person going through life?

Hu Ma, on the other hand, after rewarding the lame brat, walked up with a smile and said: "You haven't even been crowned king yet, but you can't even sit in the position of the general? Then you will be crowned king and even crowned king." Emperor, what should you do with these thousands of troops?"

"Brother Hu, you came just in time."

Yang Gong also stood up with a smile to greet him, his face full of joy.

When he lent the soldiers and horses earlier, he knew that Hu Ma was in trouble. Now that he saw the person, he felt relieved.

After looking around, he hugged Hu Ma and said, "I was just about to see who was dishonest, so I sat down firmly."

"This is because we had so many people here earlier, but we were short of someone to establish our authority."

He smiled and looked outside the city, only to see that there, in addition to the rebels besieging the city, there were also several main attacking troops and horses. They looked at thousands of troops and horses, which looked quite scary. There was already an attack on the city. appearance.

In comparison, the number of soldiers and horses in the city was pitifully few, but at this time, Yang Gong was not at all panicked about being forced into the palace. Instead, he said with a bit of disdain on his face: "You came at the right time."

"I just want you to see that I learned the things you taught me in a down-to-earth manner."

"..."

After saying that, he raised his arms slightly and said: "Bring some good tea and let my brothers sit down. I will go out to meet them."

Everyone around them was immediately frightened. If someone wanted to persuade them, General Manager Xu arranged for them to listen first.

I saw that someone actually brought tea, and invited Hu Ma to sit and drink tea, while Yang Gong got off the city wall, hung it up, put on the sword given by Hu Ma on his back, put on the demon red cloak, and then the city gate opened Open, he walked out without any soldiers.

There was a commotion outside the city. Some were calling for food distribution, some were calling for troops to be sent, and some were calling for the food-protecting general to come out and administer justice.

There was a lot of yelling, but as soon as Yang Gong really came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

"You were dishonest in the middle of the night, making trouble, shouting that you wanted to go to the city, and that you wanted to see me."

Yang Gong reined in his horse and left the city, and walked forward slowly. He got closer and closer to the rebels, and his voice became more severe:

"Now that I'm out, where will you stay?"

"..."

"Crash..."

In the face of his loud shout, there was only one person who was strangely quiet, but it was also obvious that someone was slowly holding down the weapon. The people on the city wall were already nervous, for fear that those random soldiers would rush up and attack them. Chop the food-protecting general into meat paste.

But Yang Gong seemed to turn a blind eye. Instead, he mounted his horse and kept walking forward.

It looked like one person's momentum overwhelmed the opponent's four or five murderous troops.

And his gaze coldly swept over the soldiers and horses, and shouted solemnly: "I am a general who protects food. I came from the mountains. I recruited this group of people just to protect the food in my mouth. "

"I am not one of those grass-headed kings. I am not leading you to fight to rob other people's food. I am just to prevent others from robbing our food. I am not to rob other people's wives. I am just to prevent your own wives from being robbed. "

"From the first day you surrendered to my tent, you knew what kind of person I, Yang Gong, am, and the temper of the food-protecting army."

"Now we have finally gained some fame and a foothold, but you are not satisfied."

"We want to massacre the city, we want to divide the money on a large scale, and we also think that the usual training of soldiers is too hard and the management is too strict..."

"Do you think you're fucking bandits?"

"Come, come, come. Now after listening to a few words from others, even the soldiers and horses have come to my city. That's good, that's great. If you want to see me, I'm out."

"You have arrows in your hands and knives in your waist. I am here by myself. If you want my head, come and chop it off!"

"..."

By this time, he was only a few dozen feet away from the rebels, within an arrow's reach.

The troops on the other side were in a panic, and any arrows that came over could turn him into a hedgehog, which made people nervous.

But Hu Ma just watched with interest.

Yang Gong is not stupid. He is a thief. Why didn't he go down just now?

It was simply because he knew that as long as he arrived, he would be able to protect him from injury no matter what.

Under Yang Gong's aggressive shouting, everyone was frightened, but looking forward, the shouting soldiers who were following Yang Gong just before he left the city suddenly became quiet.

Many soldiers and horses lowered their heads quietly, as if they did not dare to look directly at him. Even some of the leaders seemed a little frightened and angry at the moment, and the horses under their crotches could not help but stir.

"good!"

And Yang Gong waited for a few breaths, and when he saw no one took action, his face suddenly darkened: "Since you don't kill me, then I want you to kill people for me, and kill those guys who tricked you into rebelling." Cut it off and throw it in front of my horse."

"I will spare you the death penalty and only punish you with no wine for thirty days!"

"..."

With this shout, the soldiers and horses suddenly became even more confused.

For a moment, there were actually soldiers and horses, and they suddenly raised their heads and looked at the rebel leaders in front. These rebel leaders were also panicked and screamed inwardly that it was bad.

In fact, if the city had been breached, or if Yang Gong had led his troops to confront them, they would have started killing by now. Who cares whether you protect the general or not, but this guy went out of the city alone and actually changed the situation.

There is also a reason. The reputation of this food-protecting general in Mingzhou is really good.

The people in the countryside believed in him, and the families of his subordinates also believed in him. They did not even dare to accuse the general who protected food during this riot. They just wanted to cause the riot on the grounds of lack of food and clothing, or being angry. There was some chaos, and they just came to the city to add chaos.

"Listen to his nonsense!"

As soon as they saw something bad, someone immediately shouted: "This thief has a lot of money for himself, but he won't let us get rich..."

"Chop him with one shot, and let's be our own food-protecting generals..."

"..."

Some people didn't want the panic caused by Yang Gong to ferment, so they immediately started to drink loudly, and the leaders rushed forward.

But in his charge, he only brought out a few confidants. The army behind him actually didn't move, and was still looking left and right in the commotion.

Some leaders, seeing something bad, had drawn their swords and stared at the neck of the rebel leader.

In fact, at first glance, it seems that this leader is not really a rebel, but is mixed among the rebels. It is Yang Gong's insider who acts according to the opportunity.

Hu Ma could tell at a glance that the guy was Zhao Zhu after all.

Seeing that this rebellion was being suppressed so easily, those who led the rebellion also panicked, but at this moment, suddenly, someone in the army shouted: "General Guo Liang has done many unjust things." , today we are here to help the people of Mingzhou!"

Everyone was not paying attention for a moment, and suddenly saw a group of black-clothed soldiers rushing out of the army. They were hiding among the rebels, and they were so dark that they were not conspicuous.

But now they rushed out of the formation at the same time, which seemed extremely weird. While everyone else was still in panic and confusion, they had already rushed to Yang Gong's side, and while on the horse, they all took off their clothes at the same time. Robes.

They were all wearing red bellybands with strange talismans written on them.

Amid the shouts, everyone picked up weapons that looked like chicken claws from under their horses, and plucked them at Yang Gong's body.

…

…

"Red Pocket Army?"

On the city wall, General Manager Xu Wensheng was shocked when he saw it: "They are from the Three-Headed Jiao Demon King of Huzhou!"

"I should have known there was someone behind this mess!"

"..."

"Brother, kill these monsters!"

At this time, under the city, Yang Gong was also very heroic. As soon as he saw these people appearing, his suspicions were confirmed. As a general who protects food, he not only did not escape, but rushed forward on his horse.

Further back, some of the rebels also shouted loudly: "There is a demon here to deceive us. Come on, General Protector is here!"

Amidst the shouts, several soldiers and horses rushed out. It was Zhao Zhu, bald old Zhang and a few strangers.

However, they noticed the change early on and deliberately showed their dissatisfaction with Yang Gong. They followed these rebels and waited for the opportunity to move. Now they shouted loudly and persuaded many people to rush towards the group of red soldiers. Behind Dudou, weapons, bows and arrows came up to greet him.

Unexpectedly, those tall and tall people wearing red bellybands were all very demonic.

The weapons struck them and made a clanging sound, and the bows and arrows hit their backs and bounced off.

One by one, they were invulnerable, with red eyes and evil spirits on their faces, and they just rushed towards Yang Gong. They held weapons that looked like chicken claws and tried to tie him up, including both men and horses, and they didn't know where to take them. .

During the crisis, everyone on the city wall stood up in fear. Although they had expected the rebellion, Yang Gong's approach was too dangerous and he still fell into danger.

"They can use evil spells in the army. There are experts behind these people wearing red bellybands..."

Hu Ma sat on the city wall, frowned slightly, and said to himself: "I was still looking forward to this fight, but now it seems that they are more anxious than me, so they will take action!"

I felt it was interesting in my heart and breathed out slowly.

Dao Xing, who was wearing ten pillars of incense, only moved slightly, but all he could see was that the color of the sky and the earth suddenly changed, and the horse's mane became scorched and curled, like a huge furnace, descending on the battlefield from above his head.

True Yang Arrow!
