Chapter 140

Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan was not afraid in the face of danger, and he was still talking and laughing freely in front of so many of them, Dong Cheng couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

But seeing that the arrow is on the string, and things have come to this point, it is naturally impossible for him to back down, so he straightens his chest more and more, clenches the spear in his hand, and secretly guards in his heart.

"Okay, what's the matter, let's talk about it now."

Meng Xiuyuan glanced at the group of men in front of him, and saw that although all of them were holding weapons, they obviously didn't have too much kung fu, so they shouldn't be from the world.

What's more, seven or eight of them had the same fierce and determined expression, but their bodies were thin and short, obviously caused by long-term malnutrition.

Meng Xiuyuan, who was used to killing thieves and bandits, felt a little pity for them when he saw such a group of novices.

The only reason is that this world is difficult, and they should really be unable to survive, so they will come out to do this business of robbing houses.

Sure enough, when Meng Xiuyuan walked in a little bit, many of those people panicked, raised their swords and spears, gestured at Meng Xiuyuan and shouted:

"Boy, stop!"

"Yes, just stand there, don't get any closer!"

"Don't play tricks, or don't blame me for being merciless!"

While speaking, he waved the weapon in his hand as a threat.But he didn't expect that due to lack of strength and lack of proficiency in using weapons, every movement was twisted and twisted, either as if he wanted to throw the weapon out, or as if he was going to hurt himself.

Seeing their appearance like this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help it a little, and burst out laughing out loud.

"Boy, why are you laughing, are you looking down on us?!"

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan like this, the people on the opposite side couldn't help being a little ashamed and angry, and shouted at Meng Xiuyuan pretending to be vicious.

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head upon hearing the sound, but refused to talk to them.I just thought in my heart, when I make a move later, don't make a killing move first, but should subdue them all and carefully identify them.

Among this group of people, maybe many are coming out to fight for their lives for the first time, and they have never done evil things in the past.

They are all poor poor people, if you can save one more, save one more.

Seeing this situation, Dong Cheng, the leader of the boatman, was very depressed, he could only whisper to the people behind him not to speak again, then turned his head and said to Meng Xiuyuan with a serious expression:
"My lord, please clarify your identity and origin, so that we can talk about the next thing."

Meng Xiuyuan looked indifferent when he heard the sound, and objected to him:
"Didn't I tell you that when you asked just now?

Why don't you tell me about your identities, so that I can know how to deal with you. "

Dong Cheng frowned, and slammed the end of the spear on the ground, smashing a rock by the sea with a "clang" sound, obviously he had a lot of strength.

Taking this as a deterrent, he continued to say to Meng Xiuyuan in a deep voice:

"Young master, if you don't know how to flatter, do you still think you can fool me?

Near Zhoushan, the imperial government officers and soldiers and the uprising army gathered, and it was time for the battle, not to mention outsiders, even some rich local households with food and spare money had already fled.

You said that you came to see the scenery, and you have so much money in your pocket, who would believe it? "

Meng Xiuyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, he was in a hurry when he came, but he didn't hear the news.I don't know which rebel army is going to fight the Yuan army at this time.

Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan didn't speak, Dong Cheng thought he was restrained by himself, and then said sharply:
"Quickly, tell me honestly, what exactly is your identity.

Is it the scum who works for the Tartars, or is he a Tartar who can speak Chinese? "

Hearing his words, Meng Xiuyuan's heart brightened, and he couldn't help asking:

"If I'm not a Tartar and I haven't done anything for a Tartar, then why don't you embarrass me?"

"What nonsense, let you tell me honestly, and didn't let you ask me questions in turn!
One more word, and I'll pick you! "

That Dong Cheng was a little anxious by Meng Xiuyuan, he raised his spear, and the point of the spear hit Meng Xiuyuan's throat.

But it was this moment that made Meng Xiuyuan confirm his identity.

In an instant, Dong Cheng's eyes blurred and his hand hurt, and he saw that the spear in his hand had been held in Meng Xiuyuan's hand.

Seeing that the handsome young man in front of him has such martial arts, he couldn't help but feel chills down his back, thinking that today might be a bad day.

But unexpectedly, Meng Xiuyuan didn't intend to do anything, but asked him with a little interest:
"Your marksmanship, who taught you?
Are you guys the rebel army under Mingjiao? "

Dong Cheng became more and more flustered when his identity was revealed, but he didn't want to stand still, so he hurriedly took a long gun from his accomplice next to him, and continued to confront Meng Xiuyuan in the same posture just now.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan was a little dumbfounded.

As soon as Dong Cheng raised his gun just now, Meng Xiuyuan recognized at a glance that it was the marksmanship that Meng Xiuyuan taught Zhu Yuanzhang and Ji Fei.

If there were no accidents, the identities of the group of people in front of them were self-evident.

However, he never expected that the average quality of the Mingjiao Rebel Army would be so low, even inferior to ordinary bandits, so he couldn't help worrying about them.

However, seeing that those people on the opposite side were already sweating out of his fright, he felt that now was not the time to think too much about it, and it was more important to clear up the misunderstanding first.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't speak immediately, just took a few steps back, shook the spear in his hand, and immediately cast it.

The same long spear, in Meng Xiuyuan's hands, is naturally ten or a hundred times more powerful than when Dong Cheng used it just now.

I saw his movements open and close, obviously he didn't seem to exert much strength, but he felt sharp and aggressive.

From a distance of two feet, everyone watching Meng Xiuyuan dancing his spear felt numb and aching all over, as if being pricked by a needle.

"How do you know this set of prairie marksmanship... you are also a brother in our religion?
Which sub-forum and which marshal are you under?

We have been active here for a long time, and we have not received a notification, saying that there are church members coming here to do business? "

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan's marksmanship, Dong Cheng was surprised and admired, but he was completely relieved.

It's just that he was puzzled, seeing that Meng Xiuyuan didn't look like a disciple of the Ming Cult, so he couldn't help asking questions one after another.

"The prairie fire marksmanship... a single spark can start a prairie fire, tsk, you guys have a good name, it's much stronger than I thought."

Hearing the sound, Meng Xiuyuan sighed sincerely.In fact, he had been thinking about the name of this marksmanship for many years, but he had not been able to find such a pleasing to the ears and comprehensible meaning.

Obviously, the wisdom of crowds is inexhaustible.

Dong Cheng didn't understand the meaning of Meng Xiuyuan's words, but seeing Meng Xiuyuan's martial arts skills, he didn't think of fighting them, so naturally he didn't treat him as an enemy anymore, and hurried forward to apologize to Meng Xiuyuan.

"My lord, I think you should be a senior in the sect, it's inconvenient to reveal your identity here, we won't ask any more.

How much I offended you due to the misunderstanding just now, I hope you can forgive me. "

Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan would not make things difficult for them, so he waved his hand to indicate that the matter is over.

Seeing this, everyone in front of them felt as if they had received an amnesty, and they didn't dare to say anything anymore, they just hurriedly greeted Meng Xiuyuan to board the boat, intending to send him back as soon as possible.

On the way back, Meng Xiuyuan was still in Dong Cheng's boat, and the weather was still calm.

But the difference is that Dong Cheng seemed very silent this time, but Meng Xiuyuan kept asking him questions.

"Which rebel army are you, and whose subordinates are you?"

"Returning to seniors, we are all from the Huaibei branch, and we are under Wu Guogong's subordinates.

The commander-in-chief above me is called Liu Zhengming, do you know the seniors? "

Hearing the sound, Dong Cheng immediately replied seriously to Meng Xiuyuan.

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard the sound. Naturally, he had never heard of Liu Zhengming.

It's just that Dong Cheng said he was from Huaibei Mingjiao, but Meng Xiuyuan felt a little familiar, so he couldn't help asking:

"Do you know people like Xu Da and Deng Yu?"

Dong Cheng was shocked when he heard Meng Xiuyuan's words, and hurriedly replied to Meng Xiuyuan:
"I dare not say I know each other, but I have only heard of the names of General Xu and General Deng.

They are the same as our general Ji, and they are also able-bodied generals under Wu Guogong. "

Meng Xiuyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but asked Dong Cheng again:

"The 'General Ji' you mentioned is probably Ji Fei?"

Dong Cheng nodded quickly when he heard the words, his voice became more and more guilty, and he asked Meng Xiuyuan carefully:
"Senior, do you know General Ji?"

Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing, and sighed:
"Although we haven't seen each other for many years, we do know each other.

It's just that he didn't expect him to be so good that he was already a general. "

Hearing this, Dong Cheng was not sure whether Meng Xiuyuan's words were true or not. After all, his identity of Meng Xiuyuan was all based on speculation.

But just in case, he treated Meng Xiuyuan more and more respectfully at this time, and he didn't dare to neglect him in the slightest.

On Meng Xiuyuan's side, he secretly sighed in his heart that the world is indeed impermanent.

Only ten years later, the fringe disciple of the Haisha Gang who knelt before him and begged him to show him a way out was already an unattainable general in the eyes of others.

Among them, due to fate, people can't help but sigh.

After a while, Meng Xiuyuan asked Dong Cheng again:
"Are those people behind you just now new to the church?
Don't you train them well and let them go to the battlefield? "

When Dong Cheng heard what Meng Xiuyuan said, his dark face blushed, thinking of his brother's behavior just now, he was really ashamed.

It's just that with this question, Dong Cheng inferred that Meng Xiuyuan must not be a master in some discipline circle, but should be from the head teacher of the Western Regions, so he is so unclear about the grassroots affairs.

He swallowed his saliva and organized his words for a long time, then he opened his mouth and answered Meng Xiuyuan:
"The lesson of the seniors is that they are indeed a little worse, and it is because of our negligence in training.

However, most of the newcomers recruited by our branch forums are actually like this.

After all, if it were not for desperation, how many people would be willing to take the risk of beheading and join our Mingjiao to fight against the Tartars?

They are all from poor families, so they are naturally not that strong.

Coupled with the urgency of the recent war, the newly recruited people really don't have many opportunities to practice them.

The reason why I took them to this "ghost flower island" today is actually because I saw that you were alone, senior, and wanted to take this opportunity to experience them.

Otherwise, if you really go to the battlefield and haven't seen blood, then you will really go up and die as a stepping stone..."

At this point, Dong Cheng's voice was a little sad.Obviously, these new recruits at this time were not the first batch he had brought.

Hearing what he said, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic in his heart, and secretly thought that these were indeed the truth.

In the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, let alone practicing martial arts, even if they could afford food, they were all lucky people.

But these poor people who don't have enough to eat and haven't practiced martial arts have contributed a large part of the strength of the Anti-Yuan.

After that, Meng Xiuyuan didn't ask Dong Cheng any more important matters, but just chatted casually to pass the time.

During the process, Meng Xiuyuan learned that Dong Cheng was a low-level elite of the Ming Cult, and was sent to the seaside of Zhoushan as a pioneer to familiarize himself with the environment and search for information.

By the time the boat docked again, it was completely dark.

Meng Xiuyuan originally wanted to leave, but before landing, Dong Cheng said that General Ji was in a nearby village and town, and since Meng Xiuyuan knew General Ji well, it was better to meet him.

Although I don't know if Dong Cheng wanted to use this to test his identity, but after Meng Xiuyuan heard what he said, he felt that what he said was indeed reasonable.

Since there is no detour, there is nothing wrong with going to see old acquaintances.

Meng Xiuyuan was really curious, how did Ji Fei, who obviously had no great ability, get the title of "General".

So, Meng Xiuyuan followed Dong Cheng all the way in the night, until midnight, before arriving at an inconspicuous village.

Unexpectedly, this village is tight on the outside and tight on the inside. As soon as the two entered the village, several people came out of the darkness and pointed their spears at them to ask their identities.

It wasn't until Dong Cheng opened his mouth that his voice was recognized, and then they were let in.

With Dong Cheng's level, it was difficult to meet the general Ji Fei directly. After reporting to him, the two waited in a side room in the village for a long time before someone came to inform him that they could meet.

During this period, Meng Xiuyuan was not in a hurry, he just sat quietly and waited according to the rules.He had never been in contact with the Mingjiao grassroots on a formal occasion, so he was very curious about their behavior style, and really wanted to see it with his own eyes.

If so, when Meng Xiuyuan was led to the compound in the center of the village, the night was already very dark.But he opened the door and entered, and when he entered the main house in the courtyard, he saw that it was very lively inside.

There was only the sound of shouting, there were more than a dozen people sitting in this room, and they were still punching and drinking in the middle of the night, all of them were so drunk that their eyes were blurred and their faces were red.

Looking around, I saw that the decoration in this seemingly ordinary room was very good.Splendid carvings and porcelain screens, not to mention as luxurious as Hongmei Villa, are by no means what an ordinary farmhouse should look like.

Looking at the dining table, the fish and meat are gathered together, and the cups and plates overlap. Not to mention delicacies from mountains and seas, it is still a big meal.

"Who is it, what's the matter, it's so late to disturb us..."

A fierce man with a scar on his face on the table asked impatiently when he saw Meng Xiuyuan push the door open.

Meng Xiuyuan ignored him, but looked straight at Ji Fei who was sitting in the first place, who was already a little dazed from drinking, and said:

"Ji Fei, I didn't expect you to do well.

Your life is nourishing. "

As soon as Meng Xiuyuan's words came out, everyone present was furious. They drew their swords swaying from side to side, stood up, and shouted at Meng Xiuyuan:
"Presumptuous, what are you, how dare you call General Ji's name directly?!"

Naturally, such a trivial matter could not affect Meng Xiuyuan.At this time, he was still looking at Ji Fei indifferently, seeing his fatter and bloated body than five years ago, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

A moment later, when everyone present was about to come up to teach Meng Xiuyuan a lesson, Ji Fei, who was originally confused, finally rubbed his eyes and saw Meng Xiuyuan's appearance clearly.

Immediately, the impatience in his eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by surprise and fear.

"Meng Shaoxia?! Meng Shaoxia, why did you suddenly come to see me? Don't let anyone just say anything to me, so I can go to meet you...

What the hell are you doing.

This is my benefactor, Wudang Zixiao Divine Sword Meng Shaoxia, you bastards..."

That Ji Fei yelled and pushed away the subordinates around him, while staggering towards Meng Xiuyuan in such a hurry.During the period, he was tripped by a stool and almost fell to the ground, but he still didn't dare to stop and crawled to Meng Xiuyuan.

"Meng Shaoxia, I was just about to ask someone to invite you. I have encountered a big problem, and you must be the one to help me..."

While Ji Fei was talking, he sprayed Meng Xiuyuan with the smell of wine, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but frowned when he heard that, he waved his hand and forced him back a few steps and sat down on the stool.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it when you wake up tomorrow."

Meng Xiuyuan said something in a cold voice, then turned and left.

Seeing this, Ji Fei didn't dare to get angry, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to clean up a good guest room for Meng Xiuyuan to rest.

Meng Xiuyuan thought about the past friendship and didn't want to see Ji Fei go on like this, so he simply stayed overnight, thinking of admonishing him when he sobered up.

In the early morning of the second day, Ji Fei sent someone to invite Meng Xiuyuan.

At this time, although Ji Fei hadn't completely lost his alcohol, he was basically conscious.

After Feng Cha sincerely apologized to Meng Xiuyuan, before Meng Xiuyuan could question him, he urgently complained to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Meng Shaoxia, you don't know, I've had bad luck recently, and I was targeted by a master of the rivers and lakes.

That person is superb in martial arts, and he misunderstood me, making it impossible for the experts I invited from other places to mediate.

It must be you, a fairy-like figure, who can help me survive this calamity..."

Coincidentally, as if to confirm Ji Fei's words, when the two were chatting, there was a burst of noisy and panicked voices outside.

Ji Fei's body trembled subconsciously, and he wanted to run away.But when he saw Meng Xiuyuan sitting beside him again, he immediately gained confidence.

Moving the stool closer to Meng Xiuyuan's side, he picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea without haste.

On the other hand, Meng Xiuyuan heard what Ji Fei said, although he didn't feel that he had to help him, but he was willing to hear the reason, so he just sat still and waited for that person to come to the door.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, the door shattered open, followed by a familiar voice from Meng Xiuyuan.

"Dog thief, do you think I can't find you if you hide here?!"

In the next moment, a pale yellow figure came in with a sword, and flew straight towards that Jifei.

When he was almost in front of him, the man stopped suddenly, showing a surprised and beautiful face:

"Meng...Meng Shaoxia, why are you here?"

Meng Xiuyuan was also a little surprised, he let out a sigh of relief, then looked at the man and said softly:

"Long time no see, Miss Yang."
