Xu Huang pointed his finger and said to Zhang Jun: "Look, Master Zhang, the village over there seems to be on fire."
Zhang Jun actually saw the fire a long time ago. During this time, Liu Xin reminded them to prevent horse thieves from robbing the village's food. Seeing this scene, he thought that it might be the horse thieves. However, Zhang Jun thought that more is worse than less, and he just wanted to return to Hejian County earlier, pretending not to see it. Now Xu Huang said it, he couldn't put it on anymore, so he had to say: "General Xu, probably the villagers accidentally walked out of the water. It's daytime, and it's probably going to be extinguished soon. Don't worry about him, we still have to hurry. "
Xu Huang said sternly: "Master Zhang's words are not correct! Xu once had a long conversation with Master Liu. Master Liu is most concerned about the suffering of ordinary people. Xu deeply believes in this. You and I are the court. Commander, we should do something for the people. We have nothing to do. Since we have encountered it, we should take the initiative to help the people fight the fire."
After Xu Huang finished speaking, he ran towards the village, and the soldiers all looked at Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun thought to himself that the horse thieves must be some wicked people, and he didn't know if he was still in the village. He didn't want to take the risk, but it was not easy to leave Xu Huang alone. After thinking about it again and again, Zhang Jun had to separate half of the soldiers to catch up with Xu Huang and help him put out the fire for the villagers, while he took the rest of the soldiers and followed behind slowly. Except for Zhang Jun who was sitting in a carriage, everyone in this team was on foot. They also drove more than a dozen empty carts. Naturally, they couldn't all join the fire fighting team. Zhang Jun had already thought about the reasons for Liu Xincha's questions in the future.
Although Xu Huang didn't have a horse, he ran so fast that he had already thrown those soldiers far away. Xu Huang rushed into the village, feeling that the situation was not right. He could only hear curses, cries and hooves of horses. Xu Huang was taken aback, but saw a group of people gathered in the middle of the village. These people were covering their faces and riding horses. They were throwing bags of grain into the fire. Many villagers were kneeling beside them, all crying bitterly. The light of fire seen in the distance came from here.
Xu Huang's heart is not good, where is the water, clearly the horse thief, without hesitation at the moment, he shouted: "Stop! Who are you and what are you doing?"
When the horse thief heard Xu Huang's big drink, he looked back. One person in the middle seemed to be a leader. Seeing Xu Huang's dress, and seeing some soldiers in the distance, it seemed that some soldiers were also coming straight into the village, shouting: "The officers and soldiers are here, go!" The horse thieves scattered around the village heard them, and one after another. Hit a horse and walk outside the village.
Xu Huang yelled: "Let's go!" Withdrawing his waist knife, he shot a horse thief who ran by. The horse thief was caught off guard and planted his horse. Xu Huang grabbed the horse and went after the leader. The horse thieves moved quickly and had already withdrawn from the village. Xu Huang chased him and cut down two horse thieves along the way. The leader turned his head and saw that Xu Huang was fading away from the village. He was only single, so he "whistled", and the horse thieves turned their heads and surrounded Xu Huang in the middle. Xu Huang looked around, and there were about twenty horse thieves.
Catch the thief first, catch the king first, Xu Huang didn't say anything, and slapped his horse to rush towards the leader. The horse thieves also rushed towards Xu Huang. A good Xu Huang, with the slightest fear, swung a single knife, blocked the left and the right, and in a blink of an eye he injured three or four horse thieves, only one horse's head away from the leader. Seeing Xu Huang's swift momentum, the leader was a little flustered, shaking his spear, and stabbing Xu Huang. Xu Huang's sharp eyes were quick and he grabbed the barrel of the gun and moved into his arms. The leader couldn't help but knocked down his horse. Xu Huang threw a single knife, grabbed his spear, and started dancing on the horse, stabbing five or six horse thieves one after another. When the other horse thieves saw it, they shouted and fled. The leader had a bad fall a while ago, and now he slowly got up, trying to find a horse to escape, he was shot in the throat by Xu Huang a long time ago. Without waiting for Xu Huang to ask questions, the leader closed his eyes and pushed his body forward. The tip of the spear pierced his throat in an instant, seeing that he couldn't live. Xu Huang couldn't think that this person would rather die than surrender, but he was a little bit stubborn. He shook his head, gathered a few masterless war horses, and returned to the village.
As soon as the horse thief left the village, the villagers put out the fire, and robbed the food that had not been burnt. Zhang Jun also led people into the village slowly. He learned from the villagers that Xu Huang was chasing the horse thief, but he did not dare to lead people to help him. He only sent three or five soldiers to inquire about the news, and he stayed in the village. wait. After a short time, someone reported back, saying that he had seen Xu Huang, and was bringing a few empty horses back to the village, before Zhang Jun dared to lead someone to greet him.
As Xu Huang arrived in time, most of the food was taken back, and the villagers' losses were not great. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Zhang Jun did not want to stay here and urged Xu Huang to continue on his way.
The group hurriedly hurried, and finally arrived at Hejian County before the gate was closed. Liu Xin was overjoyed when he saw Xu Huang. Dianwei and him are old acquaintances, so no introduction is needed. Liu Xin sent someone to Zhao Yun and Zhang Xi to meet them, and then they brought out the big axe that had just been made of iron and weighed fifty-six kilograms. Xu Huang took the big axe and couldn't put it down. Since then, Liu Xin's staff has added another veteran.
Liu Xin became serious when he heard Xu Huang talk about what he had encountered on the road. This incident was very strange. Usually horse thieves robbed it for nothing more than property, and occasionally robbed it of sex. When they gathered in the mountains and forests, they were not afraid to show their true colors. And this group of horse thieves not only masked their faces, but the target of the robbery was only food, and they did it thoroughly, burning all the food they couldn't take, which made Liu Xin puzzled.
Back at the back house, Liu Xin still frowned. Ma Yun asked upon seeing this: "Husband, what's the problem?"
Liu Xin told her what Xu Huang had seen.
"These people are obviously not horse thieves. They are a bit similar to the horse thieves who robbed Zhaojiacun. Didn't you say that there have been many such incidents recently? I'm sure there is a powerful dark force, and the leader has taken the initiative to seek death. Judging from his actions, these must be controlled by a religion-like belief." Ma Yun thought for a while and analyzed, "My husband, the Yellow Turban uprising will happen in more than a year. I think these people who pretend to be horse thieves and Taiping Tao should not be able to get rid of the relationship."
Liu Xin asked puzzledly: "The Yellow Turban Uprising was launched because the vast number of poor peasants could not stand the oppression. It stands to reason that the Peace Road should have a mass basis. How could it cause harm to the people?"
Ma Yun stretched out her finger and nodded Liu Xin's forehead and said, "Use your brain, OK? Why do farmers rebel? That's because they can't survive. As long as they have a bite to eat, who would risk the crime of beheading to rebel What? If everyone is living well, there will be no market in Taiping Road. Only when everyone can't survive, Zhang Jiao raises his arms, and he will respond like a cloud. This year, the entire north has a bumper harvest, and the people can do it. It's been a good year. Who is the least willing to see this situation? That is because I have been deliberately trying to rebel and seize the angle of the world. So if these things are done by peace, then it makes sense."
Liu Xin listened to a pat of his thigh, and said excitedly: "My wife is still smart. You have figured out such a complicated problem. It seems that there is something that needs to be changed."
Ma Yun said strangely: "What are you talking about?"
Liu Xin chuckled and said, "Isn't there a saying called Wolong and Fengzhi, the two can be safe in the world. I think it can be changed to Ma Yun can be safe in the world."
Ma Yunjiao sighed: "What nonsense, am I that powerful? An Tianxia is your official business, and I am not an official."
Liu Xin attached to her ear and whispered, "Anyway, you made a great contribution today, and I want to reward you tonight."
Ma Yun's face suddenly showed a happy smile: "Don't think about it! I already have it."
Liu Xin asked incomprehensibly: "What is there already?"
Ma Yun gave him a white look: "You are stupid, you have been tossing every night this month, have you not noticed that I haven't come? Don't care about others at all."
Liu Xin touched her head and muttered, "Which is that? Ah! You mean, you have..." Liu Xin finally understood that Ma Yun was pregnant. Liu Xin knows that the level of medical care in this era is very low, and it is difficult for women to have children. Many women died because of dystocia, and a hint of worry flashed across their faces.
Ma Yun didn't notice Liu Xin's strangeness, and still smiled with happiness: "Well, I feel a little lazy these days. I called the doctor to see it today. It's been a month."
Liu Xin was afraid of affecting Ma Yun's mood, pretending to be excited, buried her head in her lower abdomen, and said, "Quickly, let me see."
Ma Yun patted Liu Xin's head lightly: "It's only been a month, what to look at. From today, you will sleep outside alone." Since Erya was driven away, there has been no other maidservant in the outside room and it has been empty.
Liu Xin suddenly fainted: "No, you are so cruel."
Ma Yun showed a sly smile and said: "Who makes you move so big every time, I don't want you to hurt my son."
Liu Xin stroked Ma Yun's lower abdomen and said, "It would be great if you had a beautiful daughter like you."
Ma Yun glared at Liu Xin, who was still lying on her stomach and refused to get up, and said, "No, I want to give birth to a son."
Liu Xin said without raising her head: "Hello, daughter, my daughter is a caring little padded jacket."
"You are not allowed to talk nonsense, it must be a son." "It's a daughter." "It's a son."...
The two people's dispute about having boys and girls ended in fruitless, but the other war ended in Liu Xin's complete defeat, and he was finally driven to sleep by the **** outside.
In the next few days, Ma Yun became Liu Xin's key protection object. Her job as an instructor for Feihuwei was also suspended indefinitely. The food in the Taishoufu, which has always been considered frugal, has recently recovered. In order to ensure Ma Yun’s appetite, Liu Xin also cooks herself; and Liu Xin and Ma Yun both Not quite used to this kneeling posture, in order to make Ma Yun more comfortable, Liu Xin also drew a pattern, hired a carpenter, and made some modern furniture, including tables, chairs and benches.
Looking at Liu Xin, who was busy working for herself, Ma Yun had an indescribable feeling of happiness. Yes, that was the feeling of home. This was the first time she had this feeling in this new world. , Ma Yun in a happy mood couldn't help humming a pop song.
Although Liu Xin pretends to be very happy on the surface, she is actually very worried. Ma Yun may be the only person in the world who has a common language with herself. If something happens to her because of her childbirth, then he can't forgive herself. In order to distract himself, he began to dedicate himself to work.
Zhang Yun and Xu Huang were two lieutenants in the army, so he basically didn't need to worry about them. Feihuwei can definitely become an elite under the alternate training of Dianwei and Zhao Yun. Liu Xin doesn’t have any thoughts of contending for the world. He just wants to survive the Yellow Turban Uprising safely, and then spend a few years of peaceful life, and then wait for the chaos in the world, the heroes will rise together, and Cao Yuan will fight for hegemony. Then he will find a chance. Just take refuge under Cao Cao's door, and at least you can live without worry.
The only trouble now is that he is completely ignorant of the political affairs of this era, and these officials are mostly Li Cheng's confidantes in the past. It is hard to guarantee that they will not behave in the same way. Although they are temporarily suppressed, it will take a long time to wait for them to find out. Knowing your own reality and fiction, there will definitely be repeated. For Liu Xin, the most urgent task is to find a few trustworthy counsellors. Dian Wei only knows about killing and drinking. Zhao Yun is still a child, and Xu Huang is not a local. It seems that he can only ask Zhang Xi.
