"But I don't know where Commander Fang and your people are going? What did you say just now that you want to settle accounts with us, but I don't know where you offended Commander Fang? Shouldn't the Liang Wangfu be in Hangzhou? How did Commander Fang appear in our Ruzhou? Ma Tiande asked with a suspicious look.

"Do you dare to pretend to be confused? Don't you know what's going on? Lin Jue said angrily.

"Commander Fang, what the hell is going on?" Ma Tiande said patiently.

"Cut, you guys, very good, very good. So let me ask you, where are you going? Lin Jue sneered.

"We ......" Ma Tiande rolled his eyes and kept a heart, not telling the truth. He didn't want to divulge the true purpose of the trip. "We're conducting patrols to search for military affairs."

Lin Jue said angrily: "Inspect and search for military affairs? Isn't it rounding up the bold bandits in Funiu Mountain? Bastard, bastard. Sure enough, it's right to settle accounts with you, don't you know what happened in Qingtai Town so far? ”

Ma Tiande was stunned for a moment, a little surprised in his heart. He didn't know what was going on in Qingtai Town, but last night his men killed more than two dozen bandits and captured a few alive. These guys won't speak. confessed, Ma Tiande personally inquired, and after a night's work, he made a guy open his mouth not long ago. He also learned that a group of mountain bandits in Funiu Mountain had dispersed to Qingtai Town to hijack a batch of supplies. It's a pity that that guy knows very little, and he can't tell what materials he hijacked, only that there are 300 mountain bandits who went out of the mountains to rob on a large scale.

Ma Tiande immediately reported to his boss and the county honor, and the Ye County Commander immediately ordered the patrol battalion to intercept the mountain bandits who had robbed the mountain. The commander of the patrol battalion asked Song Qian to arrange various checkpoints and search teams to control various trails and mountains for more than ten miles, and sent the news to the garrisons in Wuyang County, Fangcheng County and other places to block the areas south and east of Niutou Mountain. Ma Tiande was ordered to lead 500 soldiers and horses along the official road to the south to intercept. But in fact, Ma Tiande still doesn't know what happened in Qingtai Town.

"What's going on in Qingtai Town?" Ma Tiande frowned.

"So you really don't know? You don't know anything about the mountain bandits we were attacked in Bluestone Town? Hehe, you really have the ability, in your jurisdiction, in a small town more than 100 miles away from Niutou Mountain, we just rested for the night, and then we were attacked by mountain bandits. What do you eat? The mountain bandits are so arrogant, what are you local garrisons doing? Lin Jue scolded angrily.

Ma Tiande finally understood what happened, it turned out that the mountain bandits were going to attack these palace guards in Qingshi Town, and they didn't know how the mountain bandits got the news. In short, the people arrested last night turned out to be from Funiu Mountain specifically to attack this group of royal soldiers and horses.

"Commander Fang, the mountain bandits have attacked you, are there any losses?" Ma Tiande asked busily.

"Of course there are losses, but the bandits can't help us. They were repulsed by us. No, we couldn't swallow it, so we chased them all the way north, so that they would know the price of daring to do it on our heads. In addition, we are also here to settle accounts with you. In your jurisdiction, even the guards of my Liang Wangfu were attacked by mountain bandits, so it can be seen that you are all eating dry food. This time not only did we die, but we were robbed. I think that the mountain bandits are obviously prepared, maybe they think that we are escorting the prince to Beijing, and the target may be the prince Chitose. If we don't ask for an explanation for such a thing, next time we really escort the prince to Beijing, will we dare to pass through from you? I even wonder if you guys are in collusion with the bandits? How could it be that such a huge number of mountain bandits were dispatched without even the slightest notice? Well? Make it clear to me, otherwise it's not over. I will go back to report this matter to the prince, and the prince will definitely play the court and let you lose your heads one by one. ”

Lin Jue jumped up and down, extremely arrogant. Everyone in Luoyan Valley behind them couldn't stand it anymore, this Fang Junshi was really a drama master, if he hadn't known in advance that what he said was a fabricated lie, he would definitely not be able to distinguish whether what he said was true or false.

Ma Tiande was startled, how could in a few words, a heinous crime of colluding with mountain bandits was deducted on his head. This is not a joke, this crime is to kill the head. And not only himself, but also the military and political officials of the state capitals such as Ruzhou, Tangzhou, and Dengzhou who are responsible for guarding the vicinity of Funiu Mountain will be finished. This kid is the leader of the guards of the palace, and he really said some nonsense in front of Liang Wangye, if Liang Wangye really believed it, it would really be a catastrophe.

"Commander Fang is angry, we can't afford this crime. To tell you the truth, we just got the news that some mountain bandits went to Qingtai Town to attack and harass, and we are rushing to Qingshi Town with my brothers. Last night, our men captured several mountain bandits, and only after they tortured them did they confess that the mountain bandits were going to make trouble in Qingtai Town. And we don't know the news that the men and horses under Commander Fang passed through Qingtai Town. I knew that you had arrived in Qingtai Town, and I would have sent troops and horses to escort you. Commander Fang must not say nonsense, this crime of colluding with mountain bandits cannot be arbitrarily charged to us, this is going to kill people. Ma Tiande had to tell the truth and whispered.

Lin Jue glared at Ma Tiande, waved his hand and said, "That's it, I'm just saying that, I don't think you will dare to collude with the mountain bandits to do evil." Maybe it's just a dereliction of duty. ”

"Yes, yes, Commander Fang is a reasonable person, as soon as we get the news, we will immediately block it everywhere and dispatch to Qingtai Town, the speed of this dispatch is fast enough. Look at my brothers, they've been crawling in the snow for an hour or two, and they're all tired enough. ”

Lin Jue said: "Your brothers work hard, aren't my brothers human?" We've chased all the way from Qingtai Town. Don't say it, keep your accounts down for the time being, and I'm going back to reason with you. Now call your man to get out of the way, and we're going to hurry. ”

Ma Tiande breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to order his soldiers and horses to get out of the way, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. So he turned around and said with a smile: "Commander Fang, I dare to ask, where are Commander Fang and his brothers going?" ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "There are no flies in this ice and snow, your ears are not beating flies, but what are you doing?" Didn't you hear what I just said? Are you fucking deaf? ”

Ma Tiande was so angry that he forcibly held back and didn't let himself break out, and said with a smile: "Commander Fang don't be angry, by the way, it seems that Commander Fang said that he was going to take his brothers to chase the mountain bandits, right?" ”

Lin Jue snorted coldly: "Finally, you still heard this sentence." Exactly, we have to teach this group of daring people how dare to break ground on Tai Sui. We didn't figure out the situation last night, thinking that they were several times more numerous than us, so we didn't dare to fight them. But later I found out that there were only a few hundred of them, so they were afraid of a bird? This evil breath must be out. ”

Ma Tiande frowned and said: "But Commander Fang, who came all the way with soldiers and horses, did not see any trace of the mountain bandits. Commander Fang still wants to chase to the north, do you know where the mountain bandits are going? ”

"I know a!" Lin Jue scolded: "You should be asked where the mountain bandits are." Lao Tzu only knew that the Funiu Mountain was their lair, and Lao Tzu didn't care where they fled to, and it didn't matter whether they walked from this official road or from the mountain path. But they always have to go back to their mountain lair. We hurried to wait for them at the mountain pass south of Funiu Mountain. Unless they don't return to Funiu Mountain, they will fall into my hands. ”

Only then did Ma Tiande understand that the original leader of this party was planning to rush to the mountain pass to wait for the rabbit, which was a good idea. However, this guy is obviously taking it for granted, there is more than one road from Funiu Mountain to the mountain, what can these hundreds of them do? Besides, approaching the side of Funiu Mountain to lay in ambush, isn't that a sheep entering the wolf's mouth, and there is no return?

Ma Tiande planned to persuade Lin Jue to do so, telling him that it was too risky.

"Commander Fang, listen to the next sentence, don't chase any more. Adults' ideas are good, but they don't necessarily work. The mountain bandits gathered in Funiu Mountain, and the situation was extremely complicated, and Commander Fang and the brothers must not take risks. Other counties have already gotten the news and are casting a net. But if there is a trace of a bandit, it will be reported immediately. At that time, I will inform the commander of Fang in time, and let's go to encircle and suppress together. ”

Lin Jue stared at Ma Tiande coldly, and suddenly beckoned to him.

"General Ma, come closer." Lin Juedao.

"What?" Ma Tiande was puzzled.

"I have something to say to you." Lin Juedao.

Ma Tiande stepped forward slowly and took a few steps in front of Lin Jue. Just about to open his mouth to ask, but saw Lin Jue suddenly stretch out his hand and wave it, Ma Tiande couldn't dodge, only felt a hot pain on the left side of his face, his ears were buzzing, and there were gold stars in his eyes. He was slapped by Lin Jue firmly.

"What are you doing?" Ma Tiande reacted quickly, jumped back, held the handle of the knife with one hand and covered his cheek with the other, and said angrily.

"How? Do you want to do it with Lao Tzu? It's your unsightly thing. I kind of know why the mountain bandits are so arrogant, and hundreds of mountain bandits will scare you into such birds. What is so terrible about a group of rabble mountain bandits? If you people had the slightest courage, you should have gone to the mountains and exterminated them sooner. What's the use of the court keeping you bunch of waste? Today I will teach you what it means to be brave. Don't get out of the way yet, don't stop us from exterminating these bandits, and give you long eyes. If you stop us with any more rhetoric, I will really regard you as people who are in collusion with the mountain bandits. I don't care about you! Lin Jue pointed at Ma Tiande's nose and scolded.

Ma Tiande's nose was about to be crooked, and he was kindly advised, but he was repeatedly abused by him and beaten by his hands. Ma Tiande is naturally not a vegetarian on weekdays, and bullying people is also his strength, but now because of the identity of the other party, he doesn't dare to do it. I just thought in my heart: "Fuck you, if it weren't for your identity, Lao Tzu couldn't be provoked, and all of you would die here today." Or, since you are looking for your own death, then you should go and die. It's okay to be dominated by mountain bandits, and it relieves the hatred in Lao Tzu's heart. ”

"Get out of the way, make way for the warriors of the Liang Palace, and let them set an example for us. Let's see how they exterminate the bandits, and we'll learn from them. Ma Tiande sneered and stepped back, gritted his teeth and gave an order.
