"Captain Horse, save me, save me!" When Zheng Daqiu saw the man on horseback, he quickly shouted for help.
Ma Yunjiu, who was riding on horseback, glanced around and asked coldly: "What's going on?"
Before Liu Heng could say anything, Zheng Daqiu said anxiously: "He wants to kill me. Leader Ma, please save me!"
Ma Yunjiu was an old man from Liaodong, so he naturally knew Liu Heng, so he said: "Brother Liu Heng, what are you doing? You are all brothers, why should you make such a fuss? I think it is better to let him go first, Shi The big cabinet is still waiting to summon him."
Seeing Ma Yunjiu's arrival, Liu Heng knew that the conflict between him and Zheng Daqiu was over for the time being. Ma Yunjiu would never watch him touch Zheng Daqiu, especially the last sentence about Shi Daqi's summoning was a warning to him.
"Since Brother Ma has spoken, I must give him this face. Get out of here." Liu Heng got off the donkey and pushed Zheng Daqiu out of his arms.
Zheng Daqiu staggered a few steps, fell forward, and was caught by two bandits in time.
As soon as he stood firm, Zheng Daqiu's expression immediately changed, he raised his hand and pointed at Liu Heng, and said to the several bandits around him: "Come on, catch him, I will definitely kill him today."
"That's enough." Ma Yunjiu's face darkened and he said coldly, "You have delayed Shi Dashi's affairs. Even if you have ten heads, you won't be able to chop him off. Follow me to see Shi Dashi immediately."
After saying this, Ma Yunjiu turned the horse's head directly and urged the horse to go out.
Seeing this, Zheng Daqiu glared at Liu Heng fiercely and said, "Wait for me to come back. We are not done with this matter."
After saying that, he took several of his bandit men and left the back camp angrily.
"It turns out those rumors are true." Yang Yuan muttered to himself, looking in the direction where Ma Yunjiu and Zheng Daqiu disappeared.
"What is true or false?" Liu Heng asked after hearing this.
Yang Yuan said: "I heard people in the camp say privately before that Zheng Daqiu was valued by Shi Daqi and would become the leader of our rear camp. Now even the horse leader next to Shi Daqi has come to see Zheng Daqiu in person. It seems that Nine times out of ten, this is true.”
When he first heard the news, Liu Heng was stunned. He didn't expect that such a big event would happen in the past few days.
In his memory, the entire rogue army only had five battalions. In addition to Shi Dakei's own central camp, there were four battalions and four battalion heads. Each battalion head was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the battalion, which was the most important position in the rogue army. One of the tallest men.
If Zheng Daqiu becomes the leader of the rear camp, it will definitely not be good news for Liu Heng, especially since the two sides have just clashed.
"Liu Tou, if Zheng Daqiu really becomes our camp leader, he might use some destructive means on you in the future." Yang Yuan said worriedly, "I think we should avoid it first!"
"How can we avoid it!" Liu Heng frowned.
He knew that what Yang Yuan said was right. There was no law in the rogue army. As long as Zheng Daqiu led people to catch him, he would be a piece of meat on the chopping board, and he could be punished as he wanted.
"Master Li, the leader of the Archer Camp, is a fellow countryman of yours, Liu Tou." Yang Yuan said, "As long as we hide in the Archer Camp, even if Zheng Daqiu becomes the leader of the rear camp, there is nothing he can do about you."
After Yang Yuan's reminder, Liu Heng thought that there were two fellow villagers of his at the Archer Camp. One was a small leader like him, and the other was more powerful and was in charge of a battalion.
With these two people taking care of him, even if Zheng Daqiu becomes the leader of the rear camp, he will not dare to go to the Archer Camp to arrest people. Then he can break away from the rogue army and escape all the way south to Macau. Even if he takes over the Central Plains in the future, he will not If it doesn't endanger his safety, he can still escape overseas.
Thinking of this, Liu Heng said: "Let's go to the Archer Camp."
Yang Yuan took his wooden spear and left the rear camp with Liu Heng.
The Archer Camp was on the left flank of the rogue army, less than two miles away from the rear camp. Liu Heng and Yang Yuan arrived at the Archer Camp before it became completely dark.
Along the way, he and Yang Yuan came to the big tent of Archer Camp without any obstruction.
Before they could enter the big tent, they saw that the big tent was opened from the inside, and someone was about to come out.
"Second brother?" Liu Heng shouted subconsciously after seeing the face of the man who was about to walk out of the tent.
When the man saw Liu Heng, his face lit up with joy. He came closer in a few steps, put his arms around Liu Heng's shoulders, and laughed and said: "Haha, you're just in time. Brother Shu Heng is asking me to go to the back camp to find you. Follow me quickly." I'm coming in."
Liu Heng was forced into the tent.
"Brother Shu Heng, our little brother Liu Heng is here." Chen Xunping shouted in a rough voice.
"It seems that our little brother smelled the aroma in advance and came here by smelling it, haha." Li Shuheng laughed and came up from behind the short girl.
Only then did Liu Heng notice that there was a wooden basin placed on the low table in the big tent. There was something dark in it, and the aroma of meat was flowing into his nostrils from inside.
Liu Heng, who hadn't seen meat for a long time, couldn't help but swallowed.
Seeing this, Li Shuheng smiled and said: "Stop standing, these are reserved for you, sit down and eat!"
Chen Xunping on the side also said: "Recently, all the camps have been short of food. During the day, I took the archers in the camp out of the camp to hunt. I didn't expect to be so lucky. I hunted a wild boar within half a day of going out. I let the camp tonight." Brother Zhong opened the meat dish."
Liu Heng was not polite. He sat behind the short table and gave some to Yang Yuan before grabbing a piece of ribs and gnawing on it.
After eating three pieces in a row, he put down the bones in his hands and said, "Brother Shuheng, when I came here, the second brother said that he was going to find me. Is there something wrong?"
Li Shuheng nodded slightly and said, "There is indeed something that requires your nod."
"What's the matter?" Liu Heng licked the grease on his fingers, feeling for the first time that pork could be so delicious.
Li Shuheng said: "Ever since the battle at Wangjiazhuang, when you were killed at the head of the rear camp, this position has become vacant, and this vacancy will last only half a month. I plan to let you compete for this position."
Liu Heng showed a trace of confusion and said: "I heard that the candidate has been decided, and Zheng Daqiu, another small leader of the rear camp, will take over. Before he came, Zheng Daqiu was taken away by the Ma Tou leader next to Shi Dashi."
"It was originally decided," Li Shuheng said, "but the two camp leaders on the left and right of the second battalion did not agree with Zheng Daqiu taking over the rear camp, so the matter was delayed again."
Liu Heng asked curiously: "Are there any other candidates for the two battalions on the left and right? I remember that in order to prevent the battalions from annexing each other, we set a rule that the leaders of each battalion can only choose suitable people from their own battalions to take over."
"The person they recommended is also a small leader of the rear camp." As he said that, Li Shuheng looked at Liu Heng with strange eyes.
"What do you mean?" Liu Heng pointed at himself and said, "It can't be me!"
Li Shuheng nodded and said, "Yes, you are the one they recommended."
"How is it possible? I'm not familiar with them at all. If you want to choose, it's better to choose someone they can win over." Liu Heng frowned. In the memory of his predecessor, among the several battalion leaders, the ones he had the least contact with were Zuo Ying and The two heads of the right battalion are gone.
"No matter what, it's a good thing." Li Shuheng said, "I hope you can compete for the position of this camp leader."
Liu Heng frowned and fell into deep thought.
