Luoxia Mountains, East-West Post Road, Jingang Village
Bang bang bang.
The dry bamboo ox bangs sounded again and again.
Niu Shusheng and his party drove the heavy ox cart into this familiar village with smiles on their faces.
Huang Ming and Thunder Dragon had already received the news and hurriedly came up with tea.
"Why are you here, Shusheng, on such a hot day?"
The distance from the outside of the mountain to Jingangzhai is not close, and the mountain road is not easy to walk. It must have taken Niu Shusheng and them a long time along the way.
Ha ha.
Niu Shusheng waved his hands and laughed heartily, "As a farmer, it doesn't matter if it's so hot."
"What are you doing?" Huang Ming was confused.
"Nothing." Niu Shusheng pointed to the bullock cart behind him.
"At the beginning of the year, the town government allocated fields to us and bought us seeds and cattle. We all suddenly had hope and started working energetically."
"Not to mention that the early rice was planted a little late, but the late rice harvest is good. In addition, we don't have to pay rent. I will definitely not go hungry this year."
"No, everyone remembers the brothers who lived and died together in the past, so let us bring some new rice over for you to try."
"That's it." Huang Ming and the others suddenly realized.
He turned over the bullock carts curiously.
It was full of yellow rice, green vegetables, and even a few fat pigs that had been killed.
Although they were not short of food now, the two of them couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly called the gang leader to receive it.
At this time, a pretty girl in the team came over, took out a jute handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from Niu Shusheng's forehead.
Huh!
Huang Ming winked, "Shu Sheng, who is this?"
"My wife. We've known each other since we were children." Niu Shusheng laughed loudly, "We just walked through the door not long ago. As soon as she heard that we were going to deliver food to the brothers, she clamored to come and help."
Huang Ming and Thunder Dragon looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile on each other's faces.
"Congratulations. Now that you have a wife and food, Shu Sheng, you will have a complete family in the future."
They reached out and patted Niu Shusheng on the shoulder, "Keep up the good work, good days are ahead."
"I know." Niu Shusheng scratched his head and then pulled the two of them to the shade of the tree.
He lowered his voice.
"Master Huang and General Lei, a newspaper was circulated in the county some time ago. I wonder if you have heard of it?"
Huang Ming and Huang Ming looked at each other, then nodded, "I've heard of it."
Niu Shusheng was a little anxious, "The two brothers know that I don't know how to read. But I don't dare to believe everything the master said. I heard from the newspaper that the Zhenguo Duke's government is about to exterminate the clan, and this matter has spread in the county."
"Is this true? The people in the two counties outside are extremely anxious."
It can be said that everything in the two outer counties, including Niu Shusheng, comes from the Zhenguogong Mansion.
If the news in the newspapers were true, there is no doubt that all this would soon come to naught.
Thunder Dragon opened his mouth but did not make a sound, but looked towards Huang Ming.
Huang Ming touched his sparse beard.
His mother's surname is Huo, and she also has the blood of the Huo family in her body.
And he is still on standby in the Luoxia Mountains with three hundred guards from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, so he is considered to be a member of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
After a moment of silence, Huang Ming smiled slightly.
"I won't hide it from Shusheng, but the current situation in the Zhenguo Palace or the Yanchi Fortress is a bit difficult."
"The epidemic has been raging in the past two or three years, and the people of Xiliang have killed one group after another. The number of soldiers in the fortress has been reduced again and again, and now the number is less than half. The Huo family also lost many sons in the battle. And His Majesty does not seem to be prepared. reinforce……"
"But when it comes to genocide, this is not the least."
He patted Niu Shusheng's shoulder comfortingly, "You can go back and let the people feel at ease."
Niu Shusheng didn't answer, but just opened his shirt, revealing the young black chest.
Bang bang.
He slapped his chest hard.
"Mr. Huang, I, Niu Shusheng, am illiterate and can't tell you any great truths, but I know what it means to report your kindness."
"If the Duke of Zhenguo needs our help in any way, just ask. Not to mention that fighting the Xiliang people means going up the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire. I, Niu Shusheng, won't even frown."
Huang Ming was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"It's not that bad. Our border guards are responsible for resisting Xiliang. As common people, you just need to live a good life."
What else could Niu Shusheng say, but his wife had already stood up.
"My lord, I have a stupid mouth. I want to say a word for him."
"The county opened a free school, and the Master taught us a lot of great truths. I didn't remember most of them. But I remember a sentence in the newspaper: Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country."
"I think this is quite right."
"If the Xiliang people cross the Yankuo Fortress and kill the Luoxia Mountains, we won't be able to live a good life even if we want to."
"It's better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. Since the emperor is unwilling to send more troops to the Zhenguo Palace, at worst we, the people of Shannan County and Cangshan County, will just fill in."
"That's right." Other people delivering food gathered around the four of them for no apparent reason, and they shouted loudly.
"Before coming to Jingang Village, the people have already discussed it. If the town government needs it, the two generals can speak out."
"We, the people of Shannan and Cangshan County, need help, food, and lives. We have never fought any wars, but we are not afraid of death. We carry one head on two shoulders, so at worst we will have to fight with them. "
Huang Ming said nothing and stood there blankly.
Not long after, rapid footsteps sounded.
The messenger in charge of the windmill hurried over with a piece of paper.
"Young Master Huang, Lei Qianchang, news from Yanjie Fortress."
Huang Ming and Lei Long came to their senses and said quickly: "Excuse me. Shu Sheng, you go wandering around for now. We will be back in a while."
The two of them hurried into the conference room, opened the message, and were immediately overjoyed.
"Before July 18th, Huang and Lei must lead their team to Mashigang to join the Xingluo Army. On July 19th, you, together with the fortress, Peishi City, Yingling Army, Xia Junwei, etc., will attack the enemies outside Peishi City. Attack."
finally come.
The two refreshed themselves and quickly pulled over the map.
"Mashi Gang, here." Huang Ming quickly found the location on the order, "About fifty miles east of Peishi City."
Thunder Dragon measured the distance between Jingang Village and Mashigang, and quickly frowned.
"On the 18th, this news came a little late. And we have to cross the entire Luoxia Mountain. Time is running out and the journey is long, are we still in time?"
boom!
Huang Ming tapped the map hard.
"It's not surprising that time is tight, fighter planes always disappear in an instant. It doesn't matter how far the journey is, let the brothers rush to their death."
"That's right." A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Thunder Dragon's mouth. "The brothers have been away from Dingxi County for more than two years. They have already planned to go home. I believe they will arrive on time even if they die."
After speaking, the two hurriedly left the war room and prepared to lay out orders.
"Sir," Huang Ming's boy who grew up together called him as soon as he left the door, "Madam has a letter."
"A letter from Mother?" Huang Ming frowned and asked as he took the letter, "What's in it?"
hey-hey.
The boy scratched his head and said, "I didn't look at it."
"You..." Huang Ming shook his head, not surprised.
The two grew up together and fell in love with each other as brothers, but in the end they were master and servant, and the young man knew himself.
He ordered as he opened the letter.
"Hurry up and notify the guards of the Duke's Mansion, and ask them to pack their light luggage immediately. They only need to bring weapons and prepare two-day rations for people and mounts, and don't need anything else. We will gather and set off in two-quarters of an hour."
"Yes!" The boy was startled. Looking at his master's stern expression, he didn't dare to ask what happened, so he turned around and left in a hurry.
Huang Ming scanned the letter at a glance and quickly put it away.
"With the national crisis facing us, why are we getting married? Mother is really worried about this."
First latest.
