Chapter 64: Unstoppable
"Master, the house has relatives in the house!" As soon as the old housekeeper received Ma Huateng at the gate of the house, he immediately reported it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ma Huateng was stunned for a moment and turned over and dismounted, and waited until the soldiers of the tooth generals at the back of the mansion followed out of breath, and they all stood in line at the gate of the mansion.
Since the relatives within the five suits of Ma Yin in Chudi, they were all escorted to the Southern Tang Dynasty after the horses were fighting for the chaos in Chudi. Ma Huateng, who was already not prosperous, was lucky to escape because he was beyond the clan service.
Since Ma Huateng rose to prominence in the navy and was appreciated by Zhou Xingfeng, he closed the house of his relatives, and now he has no relatives outside. Now the house is full of dozens of people, all of whom are close relatives of these generations of Ma Huateng. So when he heard the old housekeeper's words, he was still stunned, and quickly followed the old housekeeper into the house.
"The old slave is also strange! But as soon as the old man saw this person, he would definitely not think that the old slave was talking nonsense! The old housekeeper was actually a little excited, and explained to Ma Huateng as he walked. He was originally a servant of the Ma family, and when Ma Huateng's father was young, he was served by this old housekeeper. Diligent, loyal, and loyal all his life, Ma Huateng naturally will not question the old housekeeper's ability to discriminate.
Ma Huateng was curious and worried, and with the worries after the meeting just now, he told the old housekeeper to let him go to the inner mansion immediately to let the family pack up their things, and walked into the living room quickly. When he entered the hall, he was really stunned when he saw the person sitting in the living room!
At this moment, in the guest seat of the living room of the Ma family, there is a dignified man sitting, with a graceful and comfortable bearing, and he is dressed in civilian clothes. His cousin Ma Huayu was chatting with him, and when he saw him come in, both of them got up to greet him.
As soon as he saw this person's appearance, Ma Huateng was completely stunned, and only surprise and surprise were left in his heart. Because this person is less than thirty years old, his slight beard under the jaw is no more than three inches, which is different from his own three strands of clear beard. But one of his faces is actually eight points similar to himself, that is, the towering nose, and the thick eyebrows and big eyes are exactly the same as himself. No wonder the old butler was surprised like that, even he was surprised.
Now it seems that this young man seems to be more like himself than his cousin Ma Huayu, as long as he is not a person who has a problem in his heart and deliberately picks on him, when he sees this young man's appearance, he will know that the two of them are a family.
This young man also stared at Ma Huateng as soon as he came in, and after seeing Ma Huateng's appearance, there seemed to be a lot of surprise in his eyes. But when he saw Ma Huateng looking at him, his excited eyes smiled slightly. took the initiative to step forward and salute Ma Huateng and said: "After the establishment of the Duke in Lingnan, Ma Amnesty Ma Huafeng has seen his cousin!" ”
Ma Huateng was stunned for a moment, and after hearing the introduction of this young man named Ma Yu, he vaguely guessed the origin of Ma Yu, but still looked at his cousin Ma Huayu. You must know that the descendants of the Ma family in Chudi, among the descendants of the family dominated by Ma Yin, were either captured by the Southern Tang Dynasty and went to Jinling that day, or they were not in the battle for power between the brothers. As for the relatives within the five suits of Ma Yin's line, none of them could escape the purging of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so it is impossible for Ma Yin's family to have descendants in Chu.
And Ma Huateng's Taizu Ma is not a cousin with Ma Yin, even if he is in the hands of Ma Huateng's father, he has already been out of the five suits, so the invasion of the Southern Tang Dynasty did not have much impact on Ma Huateng's branch. Moreover, Ma Huateng himself started among the soldiers, and he got today's position by fighting all the way, so Zhou Xingfeng will value himself, and he really doesn't have much to do with the Chudi Ma family, let alone this young man who claims to be from Lingnan.
Seeing this young man Ma Amnesty, although Ma Huateng knew the current situation in Chudi, no one else would pretend to be a child of the Ma family to show off himself, in the hands of Zhou Xingfeng and these warlords, and then relying on the Ma family to teach him to kill himself. What's more, looking at Ma Yu's appearance, he doesn't need to pretend at all, so he knows that he and himself belong to the same clan.
But Ma Huateng had just returned from Zhou Dunqi and thought of the current grim situation and the imminent danger. Out of instinctive reaction, he didn't say anything to him. Instead, he pushed it to his cousin, presumably he just accompanied others for a while, and he must have figured out the origin of the family! Although his cousin is not a general, nor is he a great literati, the hard training of his youth still makes him much better than the children of ordinary eunuchs.
Ma Huayu understood what his cousin meant, glanced at Ma Yu and immediately said: "After the pardon brother moved to Shaozhou, Lingnan to set up a duke, the generation is also ranked in the Chinese character, the foolish brother just communicated with the pardon brother before, and learned that after the establishment of the duke and moved to Shaozhou, Lingnan, because he was appreciated by the Liu family in Lingnan, after moving to Xingwangfu, he and Taizu Wugong no longer have contact, and now they have been separated for more than 60 years!" Brother Forgiveness is like a treasure for the family tree in the clan! ”
"Taizu set up a duke to move to Lingnan for decades, and he has always been obsessed with his clansmen! Because Duke Yin was in full swing in the land of Chu, where the heroes stood side by side, Taizu did not let the children of the clan publicize in the Xingwang Mansion. Later, even if he made great efforts in the marriage between Chu and Han and was highly rewarded by the Lingnan royal family, he never acted proudly. Now the royal family of the Han Kingdom has the blood of our Ma family flowing in their bodies, and they also have the great merits and great achievements of Taizu! Ma Yu said calmly, seeing that Ma Huateng's expression was faint, so he stopped.
Although Lingnan is a close neighbor from Yongzhou, it is said that when the Japanese sect set up a branch, it lived in Shaozhou, the Han State, and later moved to the capital Xingwangfu, the old people in the clan also faintly mentioned it. Thinking that the Xing Wangfu is thousands of miles away from here, there is quite turmoil in Chu after Duke Yin, and it is far from the world peace under the rule of Duke Yin in the past. Recently, Lingnan generals have been harassing the border, and there may be a big war in the near future. I don't know if it's a coincidence or an intention! Ma Huateng arched his hand and looked at Ma Yu quietly.
He didn't deliberately get close to Ma Amnesty, nor did he shirk or admit it, but only asked Ma Yu about the reason for his trip. After all, he can do the number of water and land reinforcements in Chudi, Ma Huateng really relies on his ability in water warfare, and the analysis of things between his colleagues in peacetime, and he is the leader among the young generals who have risen under Zhou Xingfeng in the past few years.
Ma Yu looked at Ma Huateng with a smile, and saw that Ma Huateng's gaze was unyielding, so he said lightly: "I have admired my cousin's name for a long time in Xingwangfu, and I know that my cousin is really a rare figure in this generation, and I often admire it in my heart. But as soon as I saw my cousin, I felt a kind of kinship in my heart! To tell you the truth, I came here to help my cousin and relatives! ”
"Help someone!" Ma Huateng stared at Ma Yu tightly! The atmosphere and tone seemed to deepen. After the ups and downs of the family, Ma Huateng cares more than anyone else, and is more nervous about this hard-won happiness.
"Haha, it sounds good, a certain family wants to listen to it!" Ma Huateng strode down on the main seat, staring at Ma Yu all the time, but his hand quietly grasped the saber at his waist.
"Maybe time is pressing now, I don't know if my cousin can listen to the words of pardon first, whether my cousin believes it or not, immediately gather the children of the Fuli clan, and immediately go to those warships controlled by my cousin!"
"Do you know, just by what you say, a certain family can take you down immediately!" Ma Huateng said coldly, the atmosphere seemed to be a little more tense, and Ma Huayu on the side looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Forgiveness knows!" Ma Yu replied quietly, but stood more calmly. Seeing that Ma Huateng did not go berserk, he said again: "Pardon is ordered to come to Yongzhou, and he already knows his mission in Xingwangfu, and he was a little excited and a little contradictory at that time. After seeing the two cousins, there was no doubt in my heart. At this time, the cousin listened or did not listen to what the pardon said, and after the pardon saw the two cousins, he would say the same thing in his heart! To tell the truth, there are still two quarters of an hour to go, there will be great changes in Yongzhou City, for the sake of the descendants of the Ma family, at this time, the cousin will be pardoned, and the pardon will be spoken, I just hope that the cousin will make a decision immediately! ”
"What would you do if a certain family didn't come back to their home!" Ma Huateng stared at Ma Yu murderously, not at all relaxed because of Ma Yu's words, but felt even more nervous, and his hand was already tightly gripping the hilt of the knife.
Ma Yu didn't answer, but looked at Ma Huayu on the side. Ma Huayu's face on the side hesitated for a moment, and he glanced at Ma Yu, who looked calm, his eyes were full of surprise. Then he hurriedly said to Ma Huateng: "Just now the pardon brother came to the house to recognize, the foolish brother said that the eldest brother had something to do in the Assassin Mansion and did not return, and the pardon brother let the foolish brother lead the relatives in the house out of the city, the foolish brother did not dare to call the shots for a while, and it happened that the eldest brother came back!" His face turned red, and he looked at Ma Huateng a little weak.
The hall was silent for a while, only the sound of Ma Huateng's rough breathing.
"Hurry up and gather all the people in the house, gather in the hall for a quarter of an hour, and remember that they don't have to bring anything! Right away! Ma Huateng looked at Ma Huayu and shouted, so frightened that Ma Huayu immediately ran into the inner mansion.
Ma Huateng came back to his senses, looked at Ma Yu and said: "A certain family came back for this matter, but no matter what you mean by coming, I thank my brother in advance!" He saw Ma Yu risking his family, and actually admitted Ma Yu's identity for the first time.
"Cousin don't have to be polite, it may be a little troublesome to go out of the house and the city at this time, cousin Wanwang don't be soft-hearted! Pardon and explain the rest to my cousin! Ma Yu cupped his fists cautiously again, sighed and looked outside the hall, and said in a low voice: "I hope it's still too late!" ”
The turbulent waters are turbulent, and the torrents are turbulent.
"Hahahahaha, no one! No one can! No! No one can stop it, here you can stop someone! You can stand in the way of someone! Those who stand in the way will die! Someone who stands in the way! Die! ”
Cold roars, violent shouts, mournful echoes all around.
After the turbulent water, although the water is still there and the torrent has not receded, it has been able to stand firm in the water.
The sound of madness sends chills all over the body, and it feels like the world is coming to an end. It gives people the illusion that if they want to run away, they will be killed by this demon if they don't escape.
However, in this scene and despair, everyone's legs seemed to have taken root. It's just that some people want to run, and everyone seems to have no courage and opportunity at the moment.
Wielding the Zhanger big knife in his hand, on the three-foot-long blade, the sharp blade shone with a cold light. On the snow-white blade of the slashing body, there was still dripping blood without cold at this moment. His whole body was also covered in blood, and he looked like he was covered in blood from head to toe, and he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's.
Angry eyes, standing like a mountain, if it weren't for the panic in his eyes, the real shape was like a god. But the stumps and severed arms that fell and scattered around him seemed to be the clothes of some people. At this time, there were seven or eight people not far from him, and these people stared at him without saying a word, obviously aimed at the people who surrounded him.
It seemed that he was a burly man with a large sword in his hand, but it was obvious that from his left shoulder to his chest, a finger-wide wound was torn, causing his armor to fly. It seemed that the wound was more than five inches long and deep, and the wound of Yu Shi reached a foot, extending to the abdomen, and the flesh and blood were already visible, which showed the strength of the knife at that time, as well as his luck.
He still kept swinging the knife, not caring about his wound at all, causing the wound to open and burst and blood to gush out. Staring at these people around him, he couldn't stop laughing, and seemed to be getting braver and braver the more he fought.
Although he turned a blind eye to the wound and his leopard eyes were wide open, there was no one around him. Even the people around him were far away, but when he looked around, he seemed to have endless majesty, in fact, he was already at the end of the crossbow. When he opened his mouth, it was like thunder, and the sound came far away, shaking people's ears deafeningly, and everyone knew that he wouldn't last long.
The others on the side have already dispersed far away, and it seems that no one dares to touch it! They all looked at him with fear, watching this formidable killing god come to the world. For this group of people who suddenly appeared, and those who dared to attack and kill officers and soldiers, everyone was in awe.
Although when the flood just came, the people of the government also killed many people, but where did the people go to complain. Not to mention the raging waters, it is not known where the families of these people have fallen, let alone those who have been killed. The people who were lucky enough to escape the flood and avoid the killing of the government were inexplicably happy when they saw the people of the government being attacked and killed, and there were actually many people watching from afar.
Wow! "Run!"
This time it was not a killing, but a wave of water rushing over, causing many people to scream.
The shouting seemed to have subsided, and many people reached the slopes on either side, but people kept coming down from the hill, wielding knives and slashing down the soldiers who had fled alone. Some people escaped the floods, but a large number of them were injured by mistake. Everywhere there were ordinary people looking for their loved ones, and some soldiers fished in troubled waters, and for a moment it became a mess.
Several people around this wounded sergeant, the leader was Qu Weixian who was holding a horse chopping knife, and the fatal knife on the sergeant's body was caused by his horse chopping knife.
Yin Shang of Yinjiabao over there admitted that he was leading the pursuit of another group of people, and led the escape of Lingling County Commander Chen Kui. Unexpectedly, at a critical juncture, this county commander of Lingling City actually led people to run away first, and now where does he care about anything else, he is also being surrounded by more than a dozen fast arresting soldiers and escaping.
Qu Weixian looked at the pursuit in the distance, and didn't worry too much at all, thinking that if Yin Shang couldn't do this thing, then Yin Jiabao would be too wasteful. The cooperation between himself and Yin Jiabao can also end here, because the existence of this force is no longer necessary.
This sergeant is naturally Tang Jiong, the commanding military academy of Lingling City, and the thing that surprised Qu Weixian was that this big knife that Tang Jiong is good at is not the knife technique in the barracks, but the moves on the rivers and lakes, obviously this Tang Jiong has received the guidance of the masters of the rivers and lakes.
Qu Weixian did not doubt Tang Jiong's skills at all, the four of his own personal guards around him, and the three good hands of Yin Jiabao, everyone kept moving with Tang Jiong.
"Your Excellency, such a quick knife! What a sharp knife! Tang Wei smiled a little hoarsely, looking at Qu Weiyan There was no anger in his eyes, he calmed down, looked at the sparse crowd in front of him, his cold gaze seemed to be a little confused, I don't know if it was too much blood loss, or if he had lost his direction.
Qu Weiyan looked at Tang Ji quietly, and his eyes gradually narrowed into a line: "Looking at what you have learned, it should come from the stone castle in Guizhou, and it should be from the inner gate of the stone castle." The Shibao royal family is famous for its swordsmanship, but it's a pity! Although it is understandable that each is its master, but you and others kill innocent people indiscriminately, and a certain family does not plan to let you go today! ”
"Hahahaha! A certain family is killing innocents indiscriminately, what about you? You're not the same! A flood will bury more people than a certain family waiting to kill! Tang Wei actually whimpered a little, looking at Qu Weiyan and a few people, his figure actually staggered.
He did meet a child of the Shibao royal family by chance when he was a teenager, and was taught a few tricks by others, and since then he has been used for a lifetime. In peacetime, he is also like a fish in water in the army, although he has not been promoted to a high-level position, he is also quite famous.
I didn't expect to be recognized by Qu Weixian, the Shibao royal family is famous in the rivers and lakes, naturally it is not Tang Ji who can cling to it, but no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a disciple of the outer gate. But Qu Weixian didn't seem to care at all, obviously the other party was a figure who was not afraid of the forces of the Stone Castle.
"One will make a thousand bones dry! This has always been the case. Qu Weiyan muttered in a low voice, opened his eyes suddenly, and stared at Tang Ji and burst out with an invisible killing force: "Since it can't be used by my big man, a certain family will give you a ride!" ”
Brilliant light! The momentum is like thunder!
Qu Weiyan's lonely figure stood quietly behind Tang Jiong, the slashing knife in his hand was shiny and chilling, and the blade reflected this cold light.
The head fell to the ground, and blood spurted from the neck. Tang Jiong's body did not fall, but the human head with angry eyes had already submerged in the water.
Everything has calmed down.
The water does not stop, the wind and clouds are whirling!
In the distance, Yin Shangzhu's unbridled laughter was heard, mixed with the screaming and continuous shouts. Standing on the branch of a huge tree, quietly watching all this happen, Qu Weixian did not make another move.
The tree was also hit by the water, and its foundations collapsed, and the trunk of the tree surrounded by several people had tilted and fallen to one side.
This time when he came to Lingling City, Qu Weixian's task was to find a way to capture Lingling City by himself. Now that he has reached his goal, if nothing else, it won't be long before the Southern Han army from the Daozhou City side will arrive.
With the current combat strength of the Southern Han Kingdom, it would not be a big problem if he insisted on capturing Lingling City. However, Chu was a land and water country, and if the Southern Han State wanted to conquer it smoothly, it had to control the waterways. Therefore, the main purpose of capturing Lingling City is to allow the naval army from Daozhou City to go all the way down from Yongzhou City to Hengzhou Prefecture.
For the future of the Southern Han Kingdom, Qu Weixian is indomitable, but at this moment he does not have the slightest joy in his heart. Looking at the corpses drifting in the water, there are the tragic situation of ordinary people who lost their feet and were drowned, there are also stumps and broken arms that were brutally killed by officers and soldiers, and there are even officers and soldiers who were attacked and killed by their own people.
"General! Didn't the dean say that! Today's killing is for a better tomorrow's peace! Any prosperity has the throes of dawn before darkness! The general is merciful, but those who want to achieve great things must not be indecisive! A guard in his thirties on the side, looking at Qu Weixian's appearance, enlightened: "If we don't drive out these people, won't more people suffer!" Looking at the prosperity of the Xingwang Mansion and the peace and contentment of the people, His Majesty the Dean must be right! ”
"Jinfu, is a certain family really not suitable to be a general/" Qu Weiyan muttered!
"Jinfu has followed the general for almost 20 years, and the general is one of the top ten elites of the Qu family, and he is the same figure as the general Xianninghou! No one is more fit to be a general than a general! "This Jinfu is one of the slaves of the Qu family, just because he has studied since he was a child, and his skills are very good. Later, he actually entered the Xingwangfu Military Academy with Qu Weixian, and this time he followed Qu Weixian out, and he was assisted by the grandfather and the prince.
He didn't know Qu Weixian's temperament, and pointed to Yin Shangzhi, who was encircling and suppressing Chen Kui in the distance, and said: "If in peacetime, where would the general associate with such a person, but now the general is here with a heavy responsibility, and the purpose is to liberate the suffering people in Chudi!" Although he encountered severe pain, Jinfu thought that even the staff picket in the army would support and understand the difficulties of the general! Please focus on the big picture! ”
"Yes! How can a certain family not even have this kind of discernment! Qu Weiyan shook the saber in his hand: "A certain family comes for ideals, and it is definitely not difficult for such a trivial matter, Jinfu, thank you!" ”
