Zheng Anping carried his halberd and ran towards where Masan was in the desolate grass. There is a village there, I don’t know which township or country it belongs to.
While running, Zheng Anping listened carefully to the movements around him, always prepared for a fight, and tried to avoid places where people might be hiding in the route he chose, or to be extra vigilant when passing. While he was on high alert, he laughed at himself: Is this useful? At most, you can make enough money!
After running in fear all the way, I don't know how long it had passed, but Juli, who had passed by in a flash, had vaguely appeared in front of him. Zheng Anping felt comforted in his heart: he could finally pay the order!
He slowed down and walked toward the big tree at the entrance, while calming down his heavy breathing. Suddenly he felt something was wrong, and he suddenly held his halberd in a fighting posture: he did not hear Masan's order.
Logically speaking, when someone approaches, Masan should order him to stop, otherwise... shoot him! But when he walked towards the big tree, he didn't hear any sound. Could it be...? Zheng Anping was a little worried. What if something happened to Ma San?
He was close to the tree, but there was still no sound and no figure in sight.
Zheng Anping nervously leaned against the big tree, circling around the tree, eyes wide open, searching around. The sound of a branch above his head startled him, and he jumped out, but nothing jumped from the tree. He looked up at the tree, thinking that it seemed unlikely that anyone was hiding there, and then returned to the tree. Although the tree is not thick, it is somewhat of a consolation.
After turning half a circle, facing the field in front, there was a large pile of straw not far away, which was obviously piled there randomly after the autumn harvest. Zheng Anping listened to the surroundings again and confirmed that there was nothing unusual. He rushed to the haystack in a few steps, carefully observed the surroundings, then walked around to the other side of the haystack, only to find a person lying limply on the grass. , a halberd was stuck in the grass, it looked like it was Masan. Zheng Anping felt that his worst guess had become reality. All efforts are in vain!
He rushed forward desperately just to prove that he was a bad guy and turned the man over, but unexpectedly he heard two people shout "ah". The person lying down was indeed Masan, and there was a woman pressed under him.
Zheng Anping suddenly understood and turned around with embarrassment. Ma San, who woke up, also recognized Zheng Anping and stood up with a smile on his face: "Hey, ha, brother, you're here?!... I've been waiting for you and you won't come. It's so cold... Otherwise Are you warm too?! A bowl of corn... promised."
Zheng Anping said impatiently: "No! Let her go quickly before it's too late!"
Masan kicked the woman with his feet: "Go back!"
The woman straightened her clothes, stood up, and walked away slowly.
Masan said to Zheng Anping: "Brother, give it to me, I'm leaving. It's so bad, it's so late, it's hard to be a soldier!"
Zheng Anping pushed Ma San aside and whispered: "Third brother is really good at taking a break, and you are doing this now! I almost couldn't find you."
"Hey, I'm waiting for you! Otherwise, I wouldn't sleep on a haystack in the cold weather. ..."
Zheng Anping interrupted Ma San: "The Qin people came to my side. They were armed with swords and were frightened away by the army! Do you think you are in danger?"
"Ah? Is this the case?" Masan opened his mouth wide in surprise, and his jaw seemed to drop.
"That's right, I'm afraid there will be more along the way." Zheng Anping said as he took out the knot and pendant.
As soon as Ma San heard this, he immediately burst into tears: "Oh, brother, this is going to kill me! I have an old man above me and a young man below me, how wonderful it is!"
"Don't be afraid! You take this and run as fast as possible. I'll follow behind. At least you have someone to take care of you!"
"Ah? How about you, brother... No, no, I'm still in front. Brother, you can't just die without saving me!"
Zheng Anping said: "Don't be afraid, brother is following behind. With brother here, we will never let anything happen to the third brother!"
"Are you following?...Is everything okay?..."
"It's okay! But run faster and get to the next stop as soon as possible!"
"Okay, run!"
Masan made up his mind and took action immediately, running faster than a rabbit in an instant. Zheng Anping didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he relaxed and kept pace.
Masansa ran away, and his speed was really not slow. Zheng Anping hurriedly ran away, keeping within a stone's throw behind him. Although he promised to protect him, at such a speed, he could neither draw a crossbow nor lift a halberd, and was no more than two people running. But having someone following me makes me more courageous.
At the third station, neither Masan nor Zheng Anping wanted to stay. After the fourth and fifth stations, the five of them simply formed a small square formation and rushed towards the Great Wall quickly.
In this process, the one who traveled the longest was Zheng Anping, followed by Masan. Seeing that the journey to the Great Wall went smoothly, Zheng Anping wondered if he might have been a little too worried. In fact, there was no danger. He was scaring himself and causing himself to run an extra thirty miles.
When we arrived at the foot of the Great Wall, the moon was already in the sky. The five of them felt that there was nothing wrong and shouted to the city: "Jie Pei is here! Jie Pei is here!"
The defenders on the city stuck their heads out and shouted: "Who is it?"
Masan took out the knot and said, "Here is the knot, please get on your way!"
The people on the city shouted: "Get off the road! Who dares to open the city at this night!"
Masan could only say: "Brother, please check the festival attire!"
"We can't see anything," said the man in the city, "we'll talk about it after dawn."
Masan said again: "Then please send a message to my brother, saying that Jiepei has arrived!"
The man on the city said: "There are still so many people waiting to patrol the city, so there is no one to communicate with!"
Zheng Anping was a little frustrated and threatened them: "Brother, the Qin people may be less than ten miles away from here. Wake them up quickly, otherwise they won't be able to wake up!"
The city leader asked, "Is this true?"
"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. He was a sharp man holding a sword!"
At this time, a group of people with torches came over on patrol. When they heard the sound, they rushed over and asked, "What are you shouting for?"
The voice from the city replied: "It is said below that Jiepei has arrived, but I don't know what it is; and it is also said that the elite soldiers of the Qin army are less than ten miles away."
The man ordered: "Put a basket down and hang up the knot and pendant."
The people in the city waited for a long time before they put down a basket and shouted: "Put the festival pendant into the basket!"
Chengxia asked: "Then what should we do?"
"Wait right here!" Jonjo said sternly.
The five people in the city looked at each other, and had no choice but to put the knots and pendants into the basket as instructed, and shouted to the top: "Put the knots and pendants in. Keep your hands steady, don't knock them!"
The city said "rise" and the basket was hoisted up again.
Zheng Anping shouted to the top: "Brother, please throw some bundles of firewood down to make a fire!"
The people on the city shouted again: "There is a lot of firewood outside the city, how can there be any extra firewood in the city?"
The five of them were very angry and scattered around to collect firewood. After a while they got back together and found a place to take shelter from the wind. Masan struck flint and lit a fire. Everyone sat around the fire, and their bodies gradually warmed up. Under Wei City, it was much safer, so they felt relieved. At this time, everyone seemed to feel sore all over, their legs were swollen, and their eyelids were heavy, and they suddenly fell asleep in unison.
