That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 62 Don’t teach Huma Du this mountain, but let the Daxia man be there

  Changling County is as quiet as usual. On Qingshiban Street, there is a thick layer of snow. Occasionally, there are some footprints, which are gradually covered by falling snow. The city is full of wind and snow, but Nancheng is silent.

Only in one inn, there was a crisp sound. It was Ma Zhibai who threw the book and slapped it. The rest of the people were very surprised, and they all looked at him. What's going to happen?"

Ma Zhibai pressed his palms on the table, glanced at the few people in the inn, and said, "There are over ten thousand soldiers in Beimo, but Mr. Gu only has a few county soldiers. How can we resist? Let alone the small number of county soldiers, let's just talk about war." Strength is not a single enemy of the Northern Desert Army."

   "Ah," Sancai said in shock, "Then what should I do?"

   "I don't know," Ma Zhibai said bluntly: "In this case, I can't think of any other way. The only way is to go to Weicheng to recruit troops. Only when the Weicheng army rushes over can we hope to stop the Beimo army."

   Sancai's eyes lit up, he stood up abruptly, and said excitedly: "My lord, are you going to Weicheng to recruit soldiers?"

  Ma Zhibai nodded.

Sancai was eager to try and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Uncle Dong. Uncle Dong frowned and said, "My lord, it shouldn't be necessary. Master Gu has already made preparations, and he must have sent someone there. We need to take risks, since Beimo dared to attack Changling County, presumably he has already made a perfect plan, and on the way to Weicheng, a net must have been laid."

"No," Ma Zhibai looked out the window and sighed, "According to the intelligence of taking care of the adults, I must know to go to Weicheng to ask for troops, but, Uncle Dong, you don't know that it is not that simple to send troops to Weicheng, and it will be confirmed by many parties. The soldiers will only be dispatched when they arrive, and if they arrive, Mr. Gu must be unable to resist here, and it will be too late."

   "But son..."

Uncle Dong was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ma Zhibai: "Uncle Dong, I know what you want to say, but I am sure to invite soldiers. The general Shangguan in Weicheng is my father's best friend. I will invite you." Soldiers, he will definitely send troops as soon as possible."

  Uncle Dong was stunned for a moment, a strange look flashed in his eyes, he retracted the words on his lips, and then said: "My lord, come with me, I have something I want to explain to you."

   Ma Zhibai looked at Uncle Dong, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, looked at Sancai and the others, nodded, and followed Uncle Dong to another room.

  After Ma Zhibai entered the room, Uncle Dong poked his head out to look around, and then quietly closed the door. Seeing Uncle Dong's behavior, Ma Zhibai became more puzzled, and asked, "Uncle Dong, what do you want to say?"

Dong Shu walked to Ma Zhibai's side, and said softly: "My lord, don't you wonder why Master Zhang Zhihuan transferred you to Changling County? You thought it was Gu Qingci's inaction, so Master Zhang sent you here , but now you also know that Gu Qingci is not that kind of person, but a very talented person, and even cleared Changling County."

  Ma Zhibai frowned, thought carefully, nodded, and said: "I do have some doubts. When the war is settled, I will also go to Langya County to ask. Master Gu has done a lot better than me."

Uncle Dong shook his head and said, "Master, why don't you understand? Master Zhang gave you the credit. As long as you stay here, Gu Qingci's credit will be yours. Think about it, in the future With Gu Qingci's achievements like this, the future is bound to be bright!"

Ma Zhibai's heart skipped a beat, he looked at Uncle Dong in shock, slammed the table hard, stood up, and said angrily, "Uncle Dong, how can you say such things? I admire Mr. Gu for such nasty things, and I will never be such a lowly person."

"My lord," Dong Shu persuaded, "this is obviously a golden opportunity from heaven. Now that Gu Qingci is leading troops against the enemy, as long as he dies on the battlefield, his deeds will be for nothing. The villain knows that you are kind-hearted, so I can't bear to see you." The people are suffering, but don't worry, if Beimo really invades Changling County, I will personally assassinate Beimo's chief general. I think Beimo is just a grassland attack, and there will be no masters. I am a great practitioner. It is more than enough to deal with them, so, young master, all you need to do now is to let Gu Qing resign to death..."

"Shut up!" Ma Zhibai gritted his teeth, his eyes were cold, and his tone was as cold as ice, and he said, "Uncle Dong, I read it as a master and servant, and because you watched me grow up, I will say these words today." Act as if you didn't hear it, there will never be another time, I, Ma Zhibai, will always be upright, why should I be like this!"

Ma Zhibai glared at Uncle Dong, stood up and walked out the door, just took two steps, stopped again, turned his back to Uncle Dong, and said coldly: "Weicheng invites soldiers, I will go to make a decision. Mountains of swords and seas of fire, I'm going too, and besides... I don't think it's suitable for you to follow me anymore, after you return to Beijing, you don't want to follow me anymore!"

  Uncle Dong slowly raised his sallow face, moved his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, my lord!"

   "What did you say..."

Ma Zhibai didn't finish speaking, when suddenly his head became confused, and he fell down. He happened to be supported by Dong Shu, and he slowly helped him onto the bed. After putting Ma Zhibai away, Dong Shu said slowly: "Young master, villain I know that you are in good shape, but I am a servant, and I have to think about your future, even if you hate me in the future, I must do the same."

  Uncle Dong walked slowly outside the door, touched the big knife on his back, looked to the north, and muttered: "Gu Qingci, although you are a good official, but you hinder my son, you...must die!"

  In the wind and snow, there was a man with a sword on his back, heading towards the Qiling post. In the snowflakes, what he carried was not a sword, but a debt, a debt owed by a servant!

  …

  Qiling Station, the white twilight, the white vision, the white snowflakes. In such a silver-clad world, everything seemed so quiet, Gu Qingci and Ma Shilian watched face to face.

  In Gu Qingci's knife-like eyes, Ma Shilian still looked at each other firmly, his determination was firm, even if Gu Qingci objected, it was useless.

Finally, Gu Qingci sighed, did not speak, turned around and rushed towards the gate of the city, and a huge wind and snow rolled up, melting him in the snow. The voice, every word is deeply engraved in everyone's heart:

   "The bright moon in ancient times is now closed,

  Changling spilled blood has not been returned.

  But let the big summer man be there,

   Don't teach Humadu this mountain!

  Dear soldiers, for the sake of our family and our country, I will wait a hundred times without regret! "

Ma Shilian at the back was startled, and murmured carefully, "But if Daxia is here, don't teach Huma to pass this mountain", then he laughed, rode his horse after him, and roared loudly: "To protect the family and the country, you will not die a hundred times!" regret!"

Ma Shilian is an ordinary person, he has no internal strength, not as powerful as Gu Qingci shouted, but his hysteria is more contagious. A group of 300 soldiers galloped away with a knife, without the slightest hesitation. That decision is placed in that sentence:

   "A hundred deaths without regret!"

   Resounding through the sky, with the determination to die!

   Thank you for your recommendation tickets!

   The mountains and rivers are empty and melancholy, I have a lot of thoughts!
