please make me king

Chapter 962 Funeral
"How are the white helmets and armors prepared?" Under the dim light, Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides, rubbed his brows and asked with a tired face.

Zhang Shun and Hong Chengchou took turns handling daily military affairs in the rebel army, so Zhang Shun's pressure was greatly relieved, and he could even take some time off from his busy schedule to have fun with Gao Guiying. .

As for the officers and soldiers, it is not enough. The governor of the three sides, Liang Tingdong, must intervene in everything.

And he is old, far less vigorous than Zhang Shunnian, already exhausted physically and mentally.

"Here... there are some white cloths in the camp, and white helmets and armors are not commonly used items. How can they be fully prepared in a short time?" Ran Tianlin couldn't help explaining with a wry smile.

"White cloth is fine, so make sure to build the mourning hall for me. This time, we have to do a full set of plays, and we must not cut corners and let the thieves see the openings!" Liang Tingdong asked again worriedly.

"Fujun, don't worry, I will arrange the funeral as it is in the real thing, so that the Shun thief will not see any flaws!" Ran Tianlin patted his chest and promised.

"Okay, it's a matter of success or failure again!" Liang Tingdong nodded and said, "You also know that there is not much food and grass now. If we can't deceive the thieves again, I'm afraid we will have to retreat and eat."

"It's a trivial matter to return without success at that time. I'm afraid that the court will blame me, and you and I can't bear it!"

"Yes, yes, the general will know!" Ran Tianlin nodded like a chicken eating rice.

"By the way, where is Ma Xianglin?" Liang Tingdong suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking hastily.

"For such a big funeral, if he's not here, wouldn't something be missing?"

"He...he went to relax!" Ran Tianlin hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but respectfully replied.

"What time is this, why are you so distracted?" Liang Tingdong couldn't help but hate iron for not being steel.

Hehe, this is not your funeral, don't you feel distressed!
He is a well-behaved living person who even has to take care of his own funeral, why don't you relax?

The two were asking and answering when a soldier had already approached and whispered in Liang Tingdong's ear.

Ran Tianlin's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought it was bad.

He was trying to find a way to fool him, when Liang Tingdong suddenly frowned, and shouted sharply: "You guys, tell me the truth, where did Ma Xianglin go?"

"You...don't you know all of this?" Ran Tianlin couldn't help but cautiously replied.

"I want to hear you tell me carefully!" Liang Tingdong said angrily.

Uh... well!
His arms couldn't hold his thighs, so Ran Tianlin had no choice but to "betray" Ma Xianglin and said, "Not long after today's big battle ended, some soldiers came to report that they met a woman who claimed to be Ma Shi, killed the patrol team, and went to the Shun bandit camp."

"That Ma Xianglin heard somewhere that Shun Bandit's wife was surnamed Ma, so he brought five hundred cavalry to surround the lady."

"He kept claiming that since Shunzi slept with his wife, he wanted to sleep with Shunzi's wife!"

Before Ran Tianlin finished speaking, Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides, was annoyed.

"Look at how promising he is, he's just a woman next to him, and he's not his biological wife... Cough cough, what is his biological daughter worth?" Liang Tingdong cursed bitterly.

"Do you know what this is? Some shameless people are not ashamed to entrust their wives and daughters in order to increase their ranks."

"Think about it, mother and daughter! Tsk tsk..."

No, of course I can figure out the ethical relationship. What do you mean by emphasizing one side?
"Okay, there's not much to say!" Liang Tingdong shook his head and arranged, "Ma Xianglin only took five hundred riders out of the camp, it's too dangerous."

"If the Shun thief is tricked out, I still expect him to catch the Shun thief by surprise. You can pick another five hundred horses and find him as soon as possible."

"Uh... I'm a chieftain soldier climbing mountains and wading rivers, just waiting for my own business. If it's brave riding on a horse, it's not my specialty." Ran Tianlin couldn't help showing embarrassment.

It's too dangerous for Ma Xianglin to lead [-] cavalry. Is it safe to take [-] cavalry out of the camp?
"What do you mean?" Liang Tingdong, governor of the three sides, frowned.

"It's just that people are poor and short-sighted and can't afford cavalry!" Ran Tianlin said in shame.

"Then how many cavalry do you have?" Liang Tingdong was almost mad at him.

"Two two hundred!" Ran Tianlin stretched out two fingers and said.

"Then you take two hundred. Forget it, you pick a thousand infantry and go find him!" Liang Tingdong also felt that it was a bit outrageous for him to lead two hundred cavalry, so he couldn't help changing his words.

"The last general takes orders!" Seeing that Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides, had finished speaking, Ran Tianlin retreated knowingly, and then arranged for people to handle the funeral, but he himself went to find Ma Xianglin with a thousand soldiers.

In fact, Ran Tianlin already knew where Ma Xianglin was, and he didn't worry about his safety at all.

Just kidding, he is the one who can take the head of an enemy general among thousands of troops, who can beat him?
Even if he encountered an army of thieves, wouldn't he be able to run away after fighting?
So Ran Tianlin was not in a hurry at all, and even made the pawns slow down on purpose, so as to give Ma Xianglin enough time to come out in a romantic and happy manner.

Everyone lit the lanterns and torches, and walked away for a while, and suddenly the outpost returned to report: "Commander, there is a sound of horseshoes ahead."

"Array, prepare for the enemy!" Ran Tianlin gave the order casually, and at the same time smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry, it must be my brother from the Ma family who has returned."

"I heard that he has always been brave, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. It's useless. I deliberately set aside so much effort for him!"

As soon as Ran Tianlin finished speaking, everyone laughed.

Not long after, after passing the outpost to verify his identity, a group of cavalry rushed over in a hurry.

"Where are the brothers of the Ma family? Ran has come to pick you up, I hope I didn't disturb you" Ran Tianlin asked with a smile.

As a result, Ran Tianlin hadn't finished speaking, only to see the cavalry in front of him crying and saying: "Commander, come over and have a look, my consolation envoy is dying soon!"

"What?" Ran Tianlin was taken aback, got off his horse hastily, and took a closer look, only to see that Ma Xianglin was lying there with a pale face surrounded by the crowd, only breathing in but not out.

"Brother Ma, what's the matter with you?" Ran Tianlin couldn't help being startled, and quickly leaned down and asked.

"Smelly bitch." Ma Xianglin trembled his lips, trying to say something, but his chest hurt and he almost passed out.

"Brothers of the Ma family, brothers of the Ma family!" Ran Tianlin shouted several times in succession, only then did he realize that the rags that bound Ma Xianglin's chest had already been soaked in blood.

It turned out that Ma Yingniang's bludgeon hit Ma Xianglin's chest, but it was only blocked by the armor. In fact, the blunderbuss was not fatal.

But the huge impact force of the lead bullet hit Ma Xianglin's chest with tightness.

Ma Yingniang took this opportunity to pat the horse and rushed forward.

It is also fitting that Ma Xianglin's life died here. Ma Yingniang's shot was so good that she could not die. It just hit the gap in the deformed armor plate hit by the lead bullet, and pierced seven or eight inches in it.

As a woman, Ma Yingniang has superb martial arts skills, but her strength is weak.

Since the last time she rescued Zhang Shun, she found that she often couldn't pierce the enemy's armor.

So, before leaving this time, she specially asked a craftsman to create a "square penetrating cone" for herself.

This thing is used as a gun head, just like a four-edged bayonet without a blood slot, and its tip is made of strengthened fine steel.

Even if it is used to stab a piece of armor, there is a certain chance of piercing through it, not to mention piercing Ma Xianglin's nail seam this time, how can he be spared?

Then Ran Tianlin saw that Ma Xianglin had lost too much blood, he was dying.

He couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile and said, "For people like us, what kind of women have never played with them, so why are you bothering?"

"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!" Ma Xianglin couldn't help exhausting all his strength when he heard the sound, shouted twice, and then died of breathlessness.

Well, this funeral is really unlucky, so I said, how can there be any reason to hold a funeral for a living person?

Now everything is ready-made, which saves me a lot of effort!
