The Book of Heaven

Chapter 25

"It's really a frog in a well!"

Ma Zheng thought that he was self-righteous when he just started, and he dared to provoke Ma Qiwu and other Ma family children. He was lucky, and he didn't encounter any difficulties, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

While thinking about martial arts, Ma Zheng also secretly reminded himself that once he entered the rivers and lakes, he couldn't help himself, and he couldn't act impulsively, he had to be cautious and careful at every step.

There was no one in the tent, Ma Zheng would play the piano to Ma Zhao and Niu for a while, and it would be okay to talk to himself for a while, but time was not for him to waste, and after talking for a while, he began to sit cross-legged and meditate again, pushing his body into a state of trance, practicing shock mentality.

Ma Zhao was sitting next to Ma Zheng and snoring. For a moment, Ma Zhao, who was snoring loudly, suddenly sat up straight, his eyes wide open like torches.

It seemed that he had discovered something, but in the end Ma Zhao didn't move, he just turned his head to look at the tent door, and then fell asleep again.

Outside the tent, a shadow landed slowly in mid-air, it was really the military man who received Ma Zheng at the gate of the camp during the day, the school lieutenant Ma Detu.

Ma Detu, who was still dressed, was actually carrying a gourd in his hand.

"The talent is not bad, but he is not vigilant enough, and he doesn't know how many days he can live. It depends on his luck." Looking back at the tent where Ma Zheng was staying, Ma Detu raised the gourd, poured a mouthful of fine juice into his mouth, and then let go Step away.

As soon as Ma Detu left, Ma Zheng opened his eyes, just in time to see the stunned Ma Zhao, he smiled at Ma Zhao, and closed his eyes again.

The corporal leader of the second sentry and the third army is surnamed Lin, and he is not a descendant of the Ma family.

This is not surprising. Although the Ma family in Xiliang Road is prosperous, they cannot all join the army. Among the [-] soldiers and horses, the descendants of the Ma family are actually only a small part. The Ma family was hereditary and replaced by the prince, and secondly, those who joined the army of the Ma family were all highly skilled in martial arts and held important positions.

People like Ma Zheng are not officially joining the army. If the Ma family's children want to truly emerge, they often cannot escape and go to the third battalion on the border.

Ma Zheng didn't know that the name of Zhuangziying had existed for many years. In the past, almost all of them were descendants of the Ma family. However, three years ago, Zhuangziying broke into the ground, and more and more descendants of the Ma family chose to be relatively safe. Even if you come to Zhuangziying and Zhuangziying in a relaxed way, you will either be desperate to get born, or you will be punished and punished. Life is worse than death.

Ma Detu, the school captain, looked down on the Ma family who were greedy for life and afraid of death, but he had no choice but to keep the head of the family silent.The Ma family still doesn't have his turn to speak, so they look downcast, and even use alcohol to drown their sorrows.

Ma Zheng, who was assigned to the second post and third branch, had nothing to do when he got up the next day, so he just sat at the door of the tent and watched the scattered figures shuttle by.

What surprised him was that it was difficult to see real sergeants in the camp, but there were more servants. These people were busy but mostly buried in their walks, and they didn't even get stared at by Ma Zheng. Nothing.

"Didn't you say that Lin Shiba is coming back today? It's almost noon."

Ma Zhao, who is too idle to be bored, is drowsy under the sun. This idiot's ability to eat and sleep really amazes Ma Zheng. He can eat and sleep anytime and anywhere. I really don't know what else in this world can make things difficult for him.

If you ask him something, his face is either blank, or the answer is irrelevant, and sometimes he feels that Ma Zhao is not human at all, but just a mandrill monster with a human face.

Waiting and waiting for Lin Shiba to appear, Ma Zheng couldn't help but think of the second half of what Ma Detu said yesterday. If Lin Shiba doesn't come back after today, then Ma Zheng will be the new corporal leader of the second sentry and the third army.

The corporal commander is not considered an officer, but he can receive a higher salary than ordinary sergeants, but what is really debatable is why Ma Detu said that?
"someone is coming."

Just when Ma Zheng was waiting so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, finally there were two figures, dragging heavy steps, coming towards Ma Zheng under the scorching sun.

Thirteen mattresses, two people?
Ma Zheng rubbed his eyes, his hope was gone, but he hoped that these two people went the wrong way.

"Which brat thinks the master is dead? Dare to occupy the nest while the master is away?"

Ma Zheng was slightly taken aback by the yelling, and quickly got up, while not forgetting to lightly kick Ma Zhao who was squatting beside him.

"Ma Zheng, a pawn who has just entered the camp, is here to wait for the corps leader Lin Shiba."

Facing the two soldiers who were walking like a fish, Ma Zheng didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly revealed his identity, which made the two men who were about to draw their swords slightly put away their murderous intent.At this time Ma Zheng had time to look at the two people in front of him.

The one on the left is slightly taller, and there is a pit of flesh on the right cheek. Although the scabs have long been scabbed, the flesh is rolled up, which looks very hideous. The one on the right is missing half of an ear, and there is a bleeding wound on the bridge of the nose.

The armors on both of them are similar, not to mention the old ones, they are still torn, several holes have been bitten by crossbow arrows at a glance.

"I'm Lin Shiba. Since you said you're waiting for me here, then you're my newcomer?"

Lin Shiba has a fleshy pit on his face, which looks ferocious, but in fact, upon closer inspection, he should be pretty, but his face has been blackened by the vicious sun for years, and the fleshy pit is involved so that the corners of his eyes and lips are shifted a little. Coupled with the killing intent that can't be contained all over the body, it will make people feel terrifying.

There is nothing trifling about in the army, and it is impossible for Lin Shiba to take Ma Zheng back to the tent only after seeing Ma Zheng's iron military badge based on Ma Zheng's one-sided words.

The army man who returned with Lin Shiba was called Zhou Tong. Although he was not a descendant of the Ma family, he was indeed a man from the Northwest. Don't lose the illusion of Ma Zhao.

"There are three of us, only two come back?"

When Lin Shiba and Zhou Tong took off their armor and sat down, Ma Zheng mentioned it while the three were talking.

"How many do you think we went?"

Lin Shiba answered without asking.

Pointing to the mattress beside him, Ma Zheng said, "Not thirteen?"

Hearing what he said, both Lin Shiba and Zhou Tong laughed, laughing and laughing, tears welled up from the corners of their eyes at the same time.A man doesn't flick his tears easily, but he doesn't reach the sad point.

There are two whistles and three teams, with 13 people in the establishment, and there are exactly 13 people with the team leader at the most.At this time, people would not think that thirteen was an unlucky number, but at that time, Lin Shiba had not yet become a corps leader.

"It took me two months to become the corps leader. This time we went out with five people."

"Three people died in battle?"

Zhou Tong, who was dealing with the wound, smiled abruptly when he heard this, "Two, I sent Bai Ding to the hospital first before returning."

Looking at the wound on Zhou Tong's body, Ma Zheng saw blood in three or four places, and the incision was up to three inches long, so he took care of it himself, and the one who was sent to the hospital really didn't know how badly the injury would be, it was really shocking.

"Don't be afraid, we only died three in the past two months, which is pretty good. Do you know how many heads we have harvested?"

Xu was afraid of scaring Ma Zheng, a young man, so Lin Shiba hurried to comfort him, but his comfort was not very reliable, even Ma Zhao, who had been silent all this time, trembled at this moment.

The death rate in two months is [-]%, which is so high that it makes people frown.Ma Zheng couldn't imagine, what kind of general spirit was supporting the Zhuangzi camp without trees falling down and monkeys scattered?Is it because of Ma Detu's personal charm, or the Ma family's cohesion?
While Ma Zheng was thinking deeply, Lin Shiba and Zhou Tong secretly exchanged glances.

Both of them felt that it was weird that the higher-ups arranged for Ma Zheng to be on the second whistle and three teams.
