Maung-mei is wrong

Chapter 4 Anaconda

Seeing that Zhuo Yingxian's face turned bloody, Nie Yunhan seemed to have regained his composure, Zhuo Yingxian met his gaze and nodded slightly at him.

"Yes, this is Master Zhuo Yingxian, the governor of Tiehewei Township." Nie Yunhan pointed to the three people around him, "They are the rest of my 'Red Boa'."

"This Zuo Hengqiu." He pointed to the black and thin man he called "Brother Zuo" just now. This man looked about 28 or [-] years old. "Born as a scout, he is good at eavesdropping and disguise. How many times he went through life and death to find out the enemy's situation for our side. It can be said that he has worked hard."

"This is Wan Lifeng, who is good at archery." Nie Yunhan pointed to the beautiful woman in her 20s. Although she was dressed in men's clothing, she could not hide her beauty with coarse clothes and no makeup.

Wan Lifeng took the initiative to cup his fists at Zhuo Yingxian, and said heartily: "I was born in a military household, and I intended to disguise myself as a man to join the army for my husband, but my disguise skills were too poor, so I was recognized and kicked out of the army. I will not give up, I will accept my bow skills, and will absorb me into the 'Red Boa', but unfortunately, as soon as the number was disbanded, I was driven back home to farm."

"Hey, I don't know how lucky I am. Farming is so good and easy!" Nie Yunhan laughed, and then pointed to the young man who had just done the injury check on Duyuxi. With a stiff face, he didn't look easy to approach, "This is Dai Yansheng, because his face is too stinky and his airs are too big, we call him Mr. Dai, he is the medical officer of the 'Red Boa', he used to be a gangster, and he is ruthless , you must not fall into his hands."

Dai Yansheng glared at Nie Yunhan coldly: "Why didn't they poison you in prison?"

Several people laughed together, but Nie Yunhan didn't take it seriously. The long-lost laughing and cursing made him feel very comfortable, like drinking a cup of hot tea in the cold winter months, with warmth all over his body.

Zhuo Yingxian looked at them happily, and smiled slightly, they didn't regard themselves as some kind of superiors, and they didn't pretend to be hypocritical, so he felt at ease.

"Brother Han!" A shrill call came from the gate.

As soon as Nie Yunhan turned around, he was hugged by a man with long hands and long legs. The momentum was so great that he couldn't help but take several steps back.

He hesitated for a moment, then confirmed the person's identity: "... Yu Shu?"

"Hmm! It's me! I almost thought I'd never see you again!" The man's face was flushed, and he hugged Nie Yunhan tightly.

"What are you talking about, it sounds like I'm going to die inside." Nie Yunhan patted him on the back, "It's so tall!"

"I want to see you and they won't let you... Those ungrateful bastards..." The boy named Yu Shu was pushed away by someone, and then stuck to him like an octopus, embracing Nie Yunhan without letting go , sobbing like a puppy.

From Zhuo Yingxian's point of view, he is a half-grown child, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but he is very tall, about the same as Nie Yunhan. At this moment, his head and neck hang down to Nie Yunhan's chest, like a sentence reading with his head hooked, which looks like Especially wronged.

"Ah, that Master Zhuo, this is Xiang Yushu, who was trained in the 'Red Boa' reserve team." Nie Yunhan hurriedly plucked Xiang Yushu's arms, but unfortunately he was hugged tightly and moved away. Can't move.

Zuo Hengqiu said helplessly at the side: "Okay Yu Shu, don't lose the face of the red boa in front of Mr. Zhuo."

After listening to Zuo Hengqiu's words, Xiang Yushu reluctantly let go of Nie Yunhan, with red eyes, bowed his head and bowed to Zhuo Yingxian: "I have met Master Zhuo, thank you Master Zhuo for letting Brother Han Release it."

Zhuo Yingxian replied in embarrassment: "I don't dare to do it, this is an oracle."

Nie Yunhan looked at the people in front of him: "You all heard the news? You are well-informed!"

As soon as Wan Lifeng opened his mouth, he was snatched by Xiang Yu Shu, the young man yelled: "I was working in the field, and I heard that a high official came to release you, so I threw down the hoe and ran over I went to the yamen and found no one, and I heard that the "ghosts" in our "snake nest" were opened. I was afraid that something would happen to you as soon as you came out, so I hurried over here. Luckily——huh? The agency has taken it back gone?"

Nie Yunhan slapped him on the forehead: "Did you just find out! Why did you only grow up in the past two years without growing your brain?! The training you received is enough for you?"

Xiang Yu Shu covered his head and said aggrievedly: "No..."

"We are in the same situation as Yu Shu, we also rushed over after we got the letter, just in time to bump into you." Zuo Hengqiu said.

"Well, that's just right, I was looking for you too." Nie Yunhan said simply, "The reason why the emperor wants to let me go this time is because there are people from Duyu who showed up in Dayao territory, and the court is afraid that they will cause trouble, so they want me to come forward." Go check--"

Dai Yansheng interrupted: "I remembered when I was using us, I won't go!"

Wan Lifeng glared at him: "Listen to what Lao Nie has to say!"

"I didn't want to go at first, but I heard that Haqin is the leader, so I have to go." Nie Yunhan's expression became meaningful, and he looked at the three people in front of him, "I won't force this. , you decide for yourself."

Wan Lifeng immediately said: "I'll go!"

Zuo Hengqiu: "Count me in!"

Dai Yan hummed twice with a stinking face, indicating that he joined the gang.

Xiang Yushu raised his hands high beside him: "Brother Han, I'm going too!"

"Go to hell, go home and farm!" Nie Yunhan looked at Zuo Hengqiu, "I'm going to add another old Zhang..."

"Brother Zhang's kung fu is not as good as mine! If you take him, you will definitely slow down!" Xiang Yushu put his arms around Nie Yunhan's waist stickily, and begged, "Brother Han, just take me with you! My mother died last year, I'm the only one left in my family, so you don't have to worry about anything - besides, I can speak Duyu dialect, so I can definitely help you!"

Nie Yunhan was a little hesitant, and listened to Wan Lifeng: "There has been no war for the past two years. Lao Zhang married a wife and just had a son at the beginning of the year. He is only two months old. Let's not break up the family of three, just us Go bachelor."

Xiang Yu Shu nodded hastily: "That's right!"

"Alright then." Nie Yunhan thought for a while, and felt that what Wan Lifeng said made sense, so he agreed.

Zuo Hengqiu asked: "When are you leaving?"

Nie Yunhan took a look at Zhuo Yingxian, Zhuo Yingxian said: "It happened suddenly, I left at night tonight, please forgive me."

"Is there any difficulty?" Nie Yunhan asked.

Several people said in unison: "No!"

"Okay, everyone go back and prepare your bags. Youshi is meeting up at the grave of your adoptive father, and we will burn incense for his old man before leaving."

Nie Yunhan took a step forward, took out two folded papers from his pocket and put them in Zuo Hengqiu's hands: "This is an order between you and Master Dai, Mr. Song has already stamped it."

While speaking, he drew a mark on Zuo Hengqiu's palm and winked at him.

Zuo Hengqiu nodded imperceptibly.

Wan Lifeng and Dai Yansheng nearby all saw it, and Zhuo Yingxian stood behind Nie Yunhan, knowing nothing about it.

After dispersing with the others, Nie Yunhan took Zhuo Yingxian back to the Fuwei warehouse.

On the way, Zhuo Yingxian said suddenly: "You 'Red Boa' and the others are really on good terms."

"It's a friendship where you give your peace of mind to the other party. Naturally, you are closer than relatives." After the matter was arranged properly, Nie Yunhan was in a much better mood, and he spoke with a smile.

"But that Xiang Yushu...is he too young?" Zhuo Yingxian met Nie Yunhan's scrutinizing gaze and explained, "Don't get me wrong, I was afraid that he would be in danger, after all, we have not yet know what to face."

Nie Yunhan smiled: "He is young and looks stupid, but his kung fu is very good. I trained him personally. I know him very well. I didn't want to take him before because I was afraid that he was inexperienced. But everyone Those who have never grown up through experience must be given a chance.”

Zhuo Yingxian pursed her lips and said nothing, with a slightly depressed expression on her face.

Nie Yunhan glanced at him, curled his lips into a smile, and remained silent.

"Just now... I didn't want to spy on you, but I really wanted to help, and I hope to catch that person soon." Zhuo Yingxian hesitated for a while, and finally opened his mouth, "I didn't expect to delay you, please forgive me."

"It's nothing, the eyes of 'Ghost Creature' are smeared, we have also gone through many trainings, and we have suffered enough to remember all the organs. You are new here, and you meet the cunning Duyu spy, it's normal to get tricked. "

This comfort seemed to be of no use to Zhuo Yingxian, the young man lowered his brows, as if he had forgotten to put up his official airs, and there was a lingering annoyance in his eyes.

Nie Yunhan crossed his arms and lightly bumped his shoulder, with a teasing tone: "Why, dignified iron crane, the burden is so heavy? Can't you bear such a small setback?"

"Of course not!" Zhuo Yingxian said immediately, her little face flushed red again.

"I understand, I understand, you all have high demands on yourself and you don't allow yourself to make mistakes, right?" Nie Yunhan smiled, "I'm just joking with you, you relax a bit. It's no big deal, you are never fighting alone, You have to learn to rely on your companions—don’t you, Tie He, work together to carry out missions?”

Zhuo Yingxian's expression froze, and he said hastily: "Of course! But this mission is special, and I'm only delivering a letter, so I came here alone. Besides, I will go on the road later, with your cooperation from Nie Qianhu. The 'Red Anaconda' has rich experience. Nothing can go wrong."

"Who asked you this?" Nie Yunhan raised his eyebrows, "I'm coaxing you, not interrogating you."

Zhuo Yingxian choked up suddenly: "..."

Nie Yunhan's voice was soft: "I fell from the sky just now, did you freak out? How is it now? Is it much better?"

"En." Zhuo Yingxian nodded stiffly, "Thank you."

"Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely protect you."

The tone of these words was sincere, not as much ridicule as before, but more like a sincere truth, Zhuo Yingxian slightly changed his original not-so-good first impression.

He glanced at Nie Yunhan from the corner of his eyes, and saw that the other party was looking forward, with a calm expression, sharp side profile, and a heroic look, which was the upright and awe-inspiring hero in the legend.

This person... Although he was a little glib at times, he was quite reliable at critical moments and made people feel safe.

"By the way, Brother Nie, why did the headquarters of the 'Red Boa' install such a large organ?" Zhuo Yingxian asked curiously, he had heard that Guan Shan was an expert in organs, but today he only got a glimpse of it, which already made him very surprised.

Nie Yunhan said slowly: "'Red Boa' is Duyu Xizuo's deepest hatred. They always want to plot against us, and even in their dreams they want to take us down. So foster father designed 'Ghost Boa', if someone from the other party sneaks in , keep them alive, not dead. The "circle back and forth" you saw just now is just the most basic attack method. If all the organs in the "ghosts" are fully activated, no matter how skilled the intruders are, it is impossible to survive. Pass three levels!"

"Senior Guan is really amazing, it's just a pity that he can design such a complicated and sophisticated mechanism..." Zhuo Yingxian just said this, and seeing Nie Yunhan's complexion suddenly darkened, he hurriedly said, "Nie Qianhu, please forgive me. "

"I can't help this sorrow!" Nie Yunhan blurted out, and then felt too reckless, and glanced at him, seeing that this handsome young man suddenly became uneasy because of his words, an inexplicable irritability welled up in his heart.

Why embarrass innocent people?

After two years in prison, can't even control your emotions?

"Okay, let's go back to get the equipment first." Nie Yunhan said calmly, "We are leaving at night, and there are still many things to prepare."

After returning to the Dusi Yamen, Nie Yunhan went to the study to find Song Mingchong, bargained with him for all the things he needed for this trip, and shamelessly asked for some money, which was called "military salary".

Song Mingchong was so entangled by him, he just wanted to send this troublesome ghost away, so he agreed to almost everything he could promise.

Nie Yunhan spoke dryly, picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, sighed contentedly, then suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Commander, can you show me the oracle?"

Song Mingchong glared at him angrily: "The oracle is for me, what right do you have to read it? If you have something to say, get out!"

Nie Yunhan's eyes flashed, and then he grinned, without further pestering: "Sure, then I won't trouble you."

Soon it was the appointed time to go to worship Guanshan, Nie Yunhan asked for a horse and was about to go out when Zhuo Yingxian stopped him from the corridor.

"Brother Nie, I'll go with you." The young man looked very frank.

Nie Yunhan muttered in his heart.

This mission was supposed to be led by Tie Hewei, no matter what strategy was discussed, Zhuo Yingxian should decide, but just now when Nie Yunhan discussed with Song Mingchong, he voluntarily backed down, saying that the red boa has rich experience, and he would not intervene as a layman , so as not to waste time.

Now it sticks like a dog skin plaster, what does it mean?

Is this person really innocent or is he hiding something?

Seeing that Nie Yunhan narrowed his eyes slightly in displeasure, Zhuo Yingxian added: "Guan Qianhu is a great hero who died for the country. I also want to go to the grave to pay respects and pay respects. I don't doubt you."

Nie Yunhan raised his head, looked at him with lowered eyelids, and said narrowly after a while: "It's okay to doubt me, you don't need to worry too much, A Xian, I can't fly out of your Tie Hewei's palm."

The road in the city is wide and there are many cars and horses coming and going, it is inconvenient to gallop on horses, the two of them walked slowly, Zhuo Yingxian looked at the scenery around him curiously.

I had seen part of the scenery in the city at the food stalls before, but it was especially lively in the north of the city.

There are many merchants and vendors on both sides of the road, and the sound of hawking is endless. It is a thriving scene, not as desolate and desolate as the border city imagined before, and even roadside beggars are rare.

Nie Yunhan looked at his eyes full of interest and asked, "Is this the first time for Ah Xian to come to Tangzhou Mansion?"

"Well, it's far from what I imagined." Zhuo Yingxian sighed, "It's a good thing that the border cities are so prosperous. If Dayao can live in peace with its neighbors, the country will live in peace and the people will live in peace, and the people will surely live and work in peace and have ample food and clothing."

"You are far away in the capital where you eat delicious food and drink spicy food, but you still worry about the poor life of the people at the border?" Nie Yunhan asked rhetorically.

Zhuo Ying glanced at him leisurely: "A man should care about his family, his country, and the world."

"This is too high-sounding, Brother Han doesn't believe it."

"believe it or not."

Nie Yunhan looked at his serious little face, with deep sockets filled with smiles: "Ah Xian, how long have you been on the job? You must be a town care envoy at such a young age, you must have a good background, I don't know what kind of official your father is? At your age, have you ever had a wife? If you haven’t married, at least you have a concubine’s room, right? Do you have children under your knees? Do you like boys or girls?”

Zhuo Yingxian: "..."

"Brother Nie asked too many questions." He replied coldly.

Nie Yunhan was aggrieved: "You understand my situation, but I don't know anything about you, it's too unfair."

"The world is not fair, just accept it." Zhuo Yingxian retaliated.

"I've been suffering for two years, and I'm about to fall in love with you!" Nie Yunhan said meaningfully, and he turned his head to look at the other party, "Our big soldiers are so cheap, and we can only complain a few words when we are bullied, A Xian you How could someone who grew up in this splendid pile be so cynical? Could it be that he had some experience before?"

Zhuo Yingxian's forehead was throbbing with veins, and the hand holding the rein subconsciously tightened a little.

Seeing that he pursed his lips and said nothing, Nie Yunhan was already angry, so he accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't say anything more.

Then they quickly left the city gate, and the two of them galloped on horseback, living in peace.

Tangzhou Mansion is located on the border of Dayao and Duyu. It is an important border defense military station. There are also some civilian villages next to the military station, most of which are local people.It takes only half a stick of incense to go out of the city, and you can see a large area of ​​reclaimed farmland, and not far away are rows of low-rise houses.

Not long after they arrived at a lush mountain, the mountain was covered with pines and cypresses, and various stone tablets, wooden tablets, and even graves without monuments were scattered in it. It looked like a natural cemetery, and it looked a little bit better than the mass graves—— It's just that there are no corpses lying in disorder.

Not long after entering the mountains, the two got off their horses and walked deep into the forest.

The forest is quiet, with only the occasional calls of birds and insects. The sky is getting late, and the dim sunlight penetrates the shadows of the trees and falls on the ground, casting mottled shadows, making the surrounding atmosphere a little depressing.

Walking for tens of feet, turning over a small slope, he saw a lonely grave at the bottom of the slope, four people stood in front of the grave, their postures were sad, they were Zuo Hengqiu, Wan Lifeng, Dai Yansheng and Xiang Yushu.

Zuo Hengqiu had a keen ear, looked back, saw Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian, and waved at them.

Nie Yunhan told Zhuo Yingxian that because the case of Guan Shan was inconclusive, he could only be buried here.This place is just a tomb of clothes. In the future, the imperial court will restore Guanshan's name, and everyone will definitely move him to the Zhonglie Cemetery for a grand burial.

A hero who died for his country shouldn't be treated like this. Nie Yunhan doesn't care about his own gains and losses, and only asks the court to give his foster father justice.

The sacrifices brought by several people had already been placed in front of the stele, green smoke curled up from the incense burner, and Nie Yunhan led the "red boas" to kneel side by side in front of the stele, cupping their hands in salute.

Zhuo Yingxian stood far behind them, with his hands behind his back, with a solemn expression.

"Father, after two years, the people of Duyu have revived their aggressiveness towards me, Dayao. Yun Han led the old 'Red Boa' to go on the road again. He will definitely eradicate the traitors and protect Dayao." Nie Yunhan's thick eyebrows were slightly frowned, with a solemn expression. , "The foster father once taught Yun Han, 'As a minister, the country's ear forgets the family, the public ear forgets the selfishness, the benefit is not obedient, the harm is not obedient, and the only thing is righteousness', but Yun Han is narrow-minded. He never let go of what happened back then. This time I vow to seek justice for my adoptive father, and I hope that my adoptive father is in heaven, so don't blame Yun Han for acting recklessly."

Wan Lifeng's eyes were slightly red: "Master Guan, Xiaofeng will avenge you no matter what he says, and tear the Duyu dog thief into ten thousand pieces!"

Zuo Hengqiu said sternly: "This is what we all mean. If you are blaming Guan Ye, don't blame Lao Nie alone, we all have a share!"

Xiang Yu Shu sniffed his nose, and said in a crying voice: "Don't blame Brother Han, we all want to avenge you! Brother Han has suffered a lot in prison these two years, you can't blame him..."

Dai Yansheng's expression was solemn: "I hope Lord Guan will bless us for a smooth trip, and our wish will be fulfilled!"

Nie Yunhan looked at Zhuo Yingxian: "Lord Zhuo, if you want to offer incense to your adoptive father, please come forward."

Zhuo Yingxian responded, and Nie Yunhan handed him the burning incense, then knelt by the monument and burned paper for Guanshan.

The yellowed paper turned into gorgeous blood-colored flowers in the brazier, and thick smoke rose, passing through the tree crowns, and reaching the sky.

Zhuo Ying looked at Guan Shan's simple tomb, his heart was surging, but he felt that his words were pale at the moment, so he didn't say anything, bowed three times and offered incense for him.

When he retreated to the side, Nie Yunhan got up after him, and the five stood in a row again, chanting in unison: "...you can't go in and out, you can't go back, and the plain is so far away. With a long sword and a Qin bow, The first body is separated and the heart is not punished. Sincerity is both brave and martial, and finally strong and invincible. The body is dead and the gods are spirits, and the soul is the ghost."

After all, the five kowtowed in unison, unable to kneel for long.

It was completely dark in the mountain forest, only a little red light was shining in the incense burner in front of the stele.

The sun is gradually setting, but there is only a tinge of red in the sky, like the soul of a loyal martyr returning.

The author has something to say:
