Li Muxian stood in the city gate, wrapped in a big cloak and pacing back and forth with his neck curled up. Sometimes he looked out with his head raised, and sometimes he went to the fire and squatted in meditation, over and over again.
Su Jing held the sword, half squatting and half leaning, staring at the fire in a daze. "Daozhang Li, it's very windy outside. If you don't want to go inside to take shelter from the wind, wait for the Governor to come back..." Zukefa walked into the doorway from the fort and saw Li Muxian squatting by the fire, so he hurriedly greeted, Before he finished speaking, Li was
Mu Xian waved his hand to stop, then stood up and asked, "General Zu, are you awake?"
Zukofa shook his head slightly and frowned deeply.
"Pindao has looked at it. Although General Zu was seriously injured, his life is not in danger. After taking three doses of Pindao's medicine, even if the King of Hell comes in person, he won't be able to take him away! You can rest assured."
Zu Kefa bowed his hand and said, "Thanks to the Taoist priest for this, I will never thank you for your kindness. I will keep it in my heart."
Li Muxian returned the gift and sighed: "I just used some medicine and stone. The person who really saved General Zu today was the Governor..." As he said this, he couldn't help but look out of the doorway.
When Zu Kefa heard this, he also let out a long sigh: "My ancestor's family owes the Governor so much that we can't repay him in return!"
"No way to repay?" Li Muchian narrowed his eyes: "You really don't know how to repay?"
Zukefa smiled bitterly and nodded slightly: "I will not hesitate to smash my family to pieces!"
Li Muxian chuckled: "Master Du Gong does not want your ancestral family to be shattered to pieces in repayment for him. What he wants is for you to devote your whole life to the Ming Dynasty and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty."
"Exactly, exactly" Zukefa straightened his expression. Just as he was about to say a few more words, he found that Li Muchian had walked out of the city gate and looked around. He quickly followed him, but saw it was pitch black outside and the cold wind howled.
"Why haven't you come back for so long?" Li Muxian muttered, and Zukefa frowned: "It can't be..."
"Of course not." Li Muxian snorted: "With the Governor's bravery and the Second Battalion of Tigers and Eagles accompanying him, he can't go anywhere in the world, and who can keep him!"
Zu Kefa kept silent. Li Muxian snorted again, but his expression became more solemn. In fact, he was also beating a drum in his heart, because what happened today was so unexpected. First, he had to report that Zu Dabi was trapped, and the patrol camp outside the city was the first to go to rescue, and then Chang Yu He led dozens of personal guards to go there, followed closely by his second battalion, and then... never returned. Near evening, Fanseng carried Zu Dabi back and said that there was a fierce battle over there in Xingshan. Ma Ke was worried and mentioned Thousands of soldiers went to meet him, but once they arrived there was no news.
. The Xingshan side is an enemy-controlled area, and the situation is unpredictable. No one can tell what unexpected things will happen. What's more, in this windy and snowy day, no one can withstand it even if they don't eat or drink for a day. As for someone who is as steady as an old dog on weekdays,
Li Muxian also couldn't sit still.
"Daozhang Li can do calculations. He can know that the Governor is in danger with just one hexagram, so why should he be so uneasy?" At this moment, Li Guo slowly walked over, with Song Xiance following behind him.
When Li Muxian heard the sound, he turned around and glanced at Li Guo. When he saw him slowly squatting next to the fire, playing with firewood, looking leisurely and contented, he got angry and said, "If Lord Du Gong has an accident, you will be the first to die!"
Li Guo smiled: "When the Taoist Master said this, he must have made a prediction. Could it be that Lord Du Gong really..."
Bah, Li Muxian spat, glanced at Song Xiance, who was huddled in the corner, and burst into laughter: "My fellow Taoist is a master of Qi Men Dun Jia, and is good at divination, why don't you ask about bad luck..."
Before he finished speaking, Song Xiance smiled: "Why don't you, fellow Taoist, have a divination?"
Just as Li Muchian was about to speak, Su Jing couldn't sit still. He stood up and glared at the two of them: "His life is tied to the sky, not to the skills of the two of you. If you continue to make noise, don't blame me for drawing my sword."
Li and Song immediately blushed. Li Guo stood up and touched his palms: "The heroine is really a hero."
"You are so eccentric," Su Jing snorted coldly: "If anything happens to him, I will kill you first!" After saying that, he turned and walked out the door, and Li Muchian followed closely: "Where are you going?" Su Jing turned around and said with disdain: "I don't know how to pinch or calculate, so I can only go and see if he is alive or dead." After saying that, she got on the horse next to her and was about to leave with her whip raised, but Li Muchian stopped. He rushed over and grabbed the reins.
: "You don't want your life, don't you? Do you know where that place is? You just went there randomly."
Sujing drew her sword: "Niubi, if you say anything stupid again, don't blame me for being rude!"
You... Li Muchian is anxious and scared, because he understands Su Jing's temperament, and he is not threatening to do something, he really knows how to do it.
"Pure Heroine, please come down and I'll go. I'll take someone with me right away." Seeing this, Zukefa quickly came over to persuade her.
Su Jing hesitated for a moment, then sheathed the sword and said, "I'll go with you."
She also knew that there was danger there. On this windy and snowy night, going alone would lead to death if she encountered enemy troops.
"That's all, I'm going to go with you too." Li Muchian sighed. Over there, Zu Kefa called for several horses. He was about to leave the city when he saw lights flashing in the distance. He couldn't help but feel happy: "Maybe Lord Governor is back. ".
Everyone stopped at the city gate to watch, and Zukefa sent a few horses to visit. After a while, the fire approached, and it was not Chang Yu who came, but Lu Dacheng, the leader of Qianhu Lu Dacheng of Tashan Fort. Lu Dacheng, as the nominal commander-in-chief of Tashan Fort, was actually a person who obeyed orders. Today's work was originally responsible for digging trenches. Later, when he learned that Zu Dabi was trapped, he wanted to go to the rescue, but Ma Ke stopped him and ordered him to go to the rescue. Defend the city
and patrol the surrounding areas.
After dark, he personally led hundreds of cavalry to wander outside the city. This sudden return brought good news, that is, the large troops who went out to fight for reinforcements were back!
Ah, I came back. Everyone looked around hurriedly, but saw it was pitch black in the distance and couldn't see anything. Lu Dacheng explained that they were marching in the dark over there, just two miles away!
As for why they discredited the march, perhaps it was to cover up their whereabouts, or perhaps because they did not prepare torches.
In fact, it’s a bit of both.
"Is the Governor back too?" Li Muchian asked quickly. Lu Dacheng was startled and shook his head: "I didn't see it, but I saw General Tu."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Since they saw Tu Yuan, Chang Yu should also be there, but he was hiding in the army to hide his identity. Not long after, everyone finally heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. Soon, Tu Yuan and Ji Jike led their troops into the city. From a long distance away, Li Muchian ran over: "Old Tu, Old Ji, we have triumphed. , how many Tatars were killed?
! "
"Get out of here, I'm freezing to death." Tu Yuan got off his horse, pushed away Li Muxian, who was trying to get warm with him, and went straight to the fire, taking off his boots while exhaling...
His subordinates also swarmed up and surrounded the fire, but blocked the doorway. An angry Ji Jike yelled at the side: "Get the hell out of here..."
For a time, the city gate cave was filled with people, including horses neighing, shouting and cursing...
Zukefa shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, go into the city first, go into the city first, don't block the door, there is fire, soup and meat inside..."
"Where is he?" Su Jing finally squeezed to the fire. She quickly covered her nose as soon as she opened her mouth. Tu Yuan said absently, "Who?"
"Who else?" Su Jing asked angrily.
"Oh, I don't know. Either I went to Songshan City or Jinzhou City."
Ah~! Su Jing was shocked: "You, you, just let him go by himself..."
"He's going, who can stop him!" Tu Yuan shrugged, picked up his boots and smelled them: "He's rushing like this..."
You guys... Su Jing didn't know whether she was angry or angry for a moment. She turned around and squeezed out, but was grabbed by Ji Jike: "Don't listen to his nonsense. The governor went to chase the enemy general. He should be back soon!"
"He went to chase the enemy general, but you came back." When Su Jing heard this, she immediately became angry. Ji Jike quickly said: "General Ma went to look for him. Should..." Should? Su Jing gritted her teeth and stamped her feet: "He really paid for you in vain." After saying that, he turned around and left. Ji Ji Ke tried to pull her away, but Tu Yuan scolded her: "Old Ji, please don't care about her. You stinky bitches don't know anything, so they just yell. She is the co-author
Only one person cares about the life and death of the governor! "
"Tu, how dare you say one more thing!" Su Jing had a hot temper and could not tolerate others scolding him. Even Chang Yu didn't dare to scold him, let alone Tu Yuan! Tu Yuan was also angry and stood up: "I have been killing from morning to night, not even a drop of rice has been eaten, and I have been killing until my hands are weak. What the hell are you doing? Thousands of soldiers are hungry and cold, and they have been fighting for half a day for dozens of miles." , should I abandon them?
Gu, do you think I don’t want to go find the Governor? The Governor’s life is life, but the lives of these thousands of brothers are also lives. I will always bring them back safely! "
As he spoke, he bent down and put on his boots, turned around and walked out: "Wu Mushan, Wang Fuchen, go back with me."
Ji Jike sighed, turned around and walked out.
Su Jing was trembling all over as she walked out of the doorway and got on her horse without saying a word.
"I'm a poor Taoist, let's go too..." As soon as Li Muxian opened his mouth, Tu Yuan shot him back: "It's very cold outside, Taoist Master, you'd better stay here and warm yourself by the fire." Li Muxian said anxiously: "Who are you looking down on?"
Tu Yuan snorted, stopped talking, and galloped into the darkness.
"Awesome, awesome." In the city gate, Li Guo watched the knights disappear into the night and sighed repeatedly.
"Are you awesome?" Song Xiance picked up a piece of firewood and fiddled with the fire.
"Awesome" Li Guo nodded and turned to look at Song Xiance: "Please tell me, sir, why he can gather so many brave and loyal people under his command."
Song Xiance smiled: "Do you know who Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Bang was?"
Li Guo was startled: "Pei County." "Then I dare to ask, young master, why Xiaopei County can produce so many illustrious figures like Xiao He, Cao Shen, Fan Kuai and so on. And dare to ask, young master, this Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was born in Huaixi, and that little Huaixi is How to become like Xu Da
, what about Chang Yuchun and other founding generals? Li Guo was stunned again, and after a while, he sighed slightly: "I know, they turn into dragons when encountering a storm. Xiao He and others, Xu Da and others are also unknown people, but they just met Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang...his butcher
Yuan and others are also like this! Song Xiance lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. Li Guo walked slowly to the doorway and looked into the dark night: "It's a good thing that this man is a eunuch, otherwise... he will achieve great things!" "
