1107 Burdened by family affection
Hundreds of barbarians were surrounded by the army, and knowing that they had no power to fight back, they laid down their weapons and surrendered on their knees. Ma Liang let out a long sigh and slowly raised his saber, which was across his neck.
"Ji Chang, why bother?" Bu Qi asked calmly.
"I can't return to Jiangdong, what can I do except die?" Ma Liang smiled miserably.
"I will not try to persuade you to surrender in vain, but if you go back with me, you will be sure that your life will be safe." Bu Qi said lightly.
"How is it different from death to steal life? I only hate my Ma Liang for his talent, and he will eventually be burdened by family affection, and he will regret his life! Ma Liang's eyes were moist, if it weren't for his younger brother, how could he leave Yiling and go to Liu Bei. Now, the child is young and the wife is disabled, but he has to give up his life, how unwilling!
Just when Ma Liang wanted to cut his neck with his sword, Bu Qi suddenly shook his hand, and an iron bead flew over, just hitting Ma Liang's wrist holding the sword, a stabbing pain came, Ma Liang's hand was loosened, and the sword fell to the ground with a bang.
Ma Liang was slightly stunned, then ran forward and pounced on a spear stuck in the ground, wanting to let the tip of the spear pierce his chest, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Buzishan, you let me die!" ”
Bu Qi shook his hand and threw out an iron bead, which hit Ma Liang's chest accurately, full of force, Ma Liang was hit by the iron bead and lay down on his back, his head slammed on the ground, his eyes were full of stars.
There was a damp feeling in the back of his head immediately, and blood flowed out, Ma Liang only felt extremely suffocated in his chest, and spit out a mouthful of blood, staining half of his white eyebrows red.
"Ma Liang, whether you live or die, but it is up to King Wu to decide, and you can't do it." Bu Qi said coldly, and the soldiers rushed up and tied Ma Liang firmly.
"Why can't I call the shots of my life?"
Ma Liang rolled his eyes and said, then tilted his head and fainted. The soldiers carried him into a car, and Bu Qi felt that it was inconvenient to take Ma Liang to fight, so he immediately commanded the army to march north, preparing to send him to Gong'an County, where he was temporarily imprisoned.
After a while, Ma Liang finally woke up, and cursed loudly in annoyance, just begging for death, Bu Qi didn't pay attention to it at all, and Ma Liang scolded non-stop.
Ma Liang has lost count of how many meals he has not eaten, his body is extremely weak, coupled with a head injury, and his loud voice will cause dizziness and nausea, and he will faint again and again. The blood on the back of the head had coagulated, mixed with the hair sticking to the back of the head, and the wolf was unbearable.
For a person who was powerless, Bu Qi's heart was soft, and he ordered Ma Liang to loosen the tie and forcibly feed him, but Ma Liang resolutely refused to open his mouth. In desperation, Bu Qi had to order someone to pry open Ma Liang's mouth and pour food into it, because Ma Liang's resistance was very fierce, and soon the corners of his mouth were blurred with flesh and blood.
Therefore, there was very little food poured in, and even if it was, Ma Liang picked his throat with his fingers and spit out the food again and again.
After tossing and turning like this for two days, Ma Liang swallowed only a handful of food, his eye sockets were deep, his face was pale as paper, and he also had a high fever.
"Hey, what a loyal man." Bu Qi sighed and praised, planning to find a doctor after entering the public security county to diagnose and treat Ma Liang.
Just when it was less than ten miles away from Gong'an County, a team of hundreds of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in front, led by a stunning woman, wearing a bright red robe, holding a long sword, with a pink face like a flower, and a heroic posture, it was Sun Shangxiang, the lord of Jiangdong County.
On Sun Shangxiang's left side, there is a national woman in a silver helmet and silver armor, holding a claw-shaped weapon in her hand, standing proudly on a horse, for Fan Jinfeng. On the left is an old man, with a look of interest, and at first glance he is a well-educated person, it is Cui Zhouping.
Seeing this situation, Bu Qi hurriedly stepped forward, turned over and dismounted, and solemnly bowed: "Weichen Buzi Mountain, pay homage to the county lord." ”
"Get up, please!" Sun Shangxiang beckoned, and then asked, "Buzishan, have you ever met Ma Liang?" ”
Just now, Bu Qi was wondering, how could the county lord who had lived in Yiling for a long time appear here, but he didn't expect that it was for Ma Liang, needless to say, it must be Wang Baoyu's idea.
Bu Qi didn't hide it, nodded and said: "Ma Liang was captured by our army a few days ago, and he was in the army. ”
"Hand over Ma Liang to the county lord to deal with, and you can leave on your own." Sun Shangxiang ordered unceremoniously.
"This ......" Bu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "The county lord is above, Ma Liang is a heavy minister of Shu Han, and the matter is big, and the minister can't obey his fate." ”
"It's okay, you can show your brother when you go back, it's Ma Liang that I took away!"
Sun Shangxiang said self-righteously, but Bu Qiu still did not retreat, "At this time, even if King Wu is here, he will definitely not let Ma Liang leave!" ”
"Bold!" Sun Shangxiang immediately became angry, shook his hand and pressed the long sword on Bu Qi's shoulder, and scolded: "If you dare to disrespect my life, you even use your brother to bully me!" The lord of this county killed you today, but I am afraid that you will have nowhere to redress your grievances! ”
"The county lord is angry, and Weichen is greatly favored by Jiangdong, how dare he offend the county lord. But this matter is not trivial, even if Weichen dies today, he must not let Ma Liang leave. Bu Qi did not back down, and said with a firm gaze.
This trip is led by Sun Shangxiang, and if he is a bystander, hundreds of soldiers and horses will never dare to keep up with the clamor of tens of thousands of troops. But Sun Shangxiang didn't realize this, but felt that Bu Qi had made him lose face, and his arm was slightly exerted, and Bu Qi's neck was already oozing blood.
The soldiers behind him were about to move, but Bu Qi's face was unwavering, and he said in a commanding tone: "Today I died under the sword of the county lord, and I didn't complain at all. You are not allowed to embarrass the county lord, and escort Ma Liang back to Jiangdong first! ”
"Sister, you have been away from Jiangdong for a long time, and these people don't listen to you." Fan Jinfeng snorted coldly, gloating and added, Sun Shangxiang felt even more unbearable on her face, she didn't believe that this Bu Qi was really willing to die in her own hands for Ma Liang!
Cui Zhouping was afraid that Sun Shangxiang would make things bigger, so he hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Sun Shangxiang's long sword, and persuaded him with good words: "Princess Xiang is angry, wait for me to talk to Mr. Bu for a few words." ”
Sun Shangxiang snorted coldly, withdrew his sword, and Bu Qi still stood in place, not moving.
"In Xia Cui Zhouping, may I ask Mr. Bu, why don't you want to hand over Ma Liang to me?" Cui Zhouping asked with a smile.
"As I said earlier, Ma Liang is an important minister under Liu Bei, and it is related to this battle, and he cannot be let go." Bu Qi reluctantly said it again.
"Sir's words are wrong, Ma Liang is not insignificant to Liu Bei, the so-called position of a servant, but to appease him!" Cui Zhou Ping Road.
"Ma Liang recruited the Wuxi barbarians and became the enemy of Jiangdong, and the day before yesterday, Shamoke even harmed my general Gan Ning, how can it be said that it is not enough?" Bu Qi asked rhetorically.
