Horse on the World

Chapter 928
Chen Bo and Huang Chang, who were lying in the dark, suddenly realized that there was some abnormal movement in the village. The Qiang soldiers on the village suddenly started to move, apparently on guard, but in the depths of the village, there were rumbling footsteps and shouts. With a sound, the gate of the village, which was originally wide open, is slowly closing under the joint efforts of the Qiang soldiers.
"No, they know the news, something must have happened to the prince!" Huang Chang was shocked, "Do it, General Chen!"

With a wave of Chen Bo's hand, the two eight-ox crossbows around him screamed suddenly. The huge crossbow spears had already been aimed, pierced through the air, and hit the gate of the village that was about to be closed, with a bang, The wooden gate of the village was torn apart, and another crossbow spear flew in through the broken gate of the village, shooting a group of Qiang soldiers who were approaching the gate to death and wounded them.
"Go in, save the world!" Chen Bo jumped up, and ran forward with a knife in his hand.Behind them, more than 1000 southern troops uttered a cry, jumped out of their hiding places, and flew towards the stockade.
Meng Junjian's hands and feet were cold, and the terrain of Shaluo Cave was dangerous, but that was for outside attackers, but the Southern Army was stationed in its own heart. Most of the Qiang soldiers were stationed in dangerous places to defend outside attackers. There is nothing to do about this special case of causing trouble to Xiaoqiang. Now Meng Junjian's house has only a few hundred guards, but there are countless old and weak women and children.

With a choking sound, the waist knife came out of its sheath, and the sharp blade rested on the neck of the dumbfounded Qin Kaiyuan, "If you dare to play tricks, I will kill you first."
Qin Kaiyuan couldn't understand why Chen Bo suddenly launched an attack, and said with a wry smile, "Cave Master Meng, if I wanted to take your village, would I be here right now?"

Meng Junjian couldn't help hesitating for a while, while Ma Lanhua smiled and said, "Master Meng, the Southern Army really has evil intentions, why don't I come and solve this trouble for the village master?"
Meng Junjian glanced at Ma Lanhua, "There are more than a thousand well-equipped southern troops, just relying on the dozens of guards you brought, hum, I drag Qin Kaiyuan to stand on the wall, if the southern army dares to go further, I will chop off the heads of their masters."

"Then why bother?" Ma Lanhua smiled, "Mengzhai Master, look at mine!"
Mouth Nunu, Margan nodded knowingly, reached out and took out a firework from his sleeve, raised his hand, amidst the screaming sound, the firework soared high into the sky and exploded abruptly in the air, a bright flower blooming in the night sky bloom.

Behind the southern army, there was a roar that shook the sky, and in an instant, countless torches were lit in the night, and amidst the shouts, they quickly approached the stockade.

Chen Bo turned his head in panic, and behind him, countless soldiers and horses were rolling towards him, his hands and feet were cold.

"Go in, go in, catch Meng Junjian, or we will die." Huang Chang yelled.
Chen Bo gritted his teeth and ran wildly along the broken village gate. The only plan now is to deal with Meng Junjian in the village before his opponent catches up with him, and then use him as a hostage.What he didn't know was that what was chasing after him was Ma Lin from the Dingzhou Army's former manganese cave. He didn't care about Meng Junjian's life or death at all, and Ma Lin was probably looking forward to Meng Junjian's sudden death on the spot.

When Chen Bo rushed into the stockade, he only saw the backs of Meng Junjian and Shizi disappearing from sight.
"Chasing!" Chen Bo yelled frantically, in front of him, batches of Qiang soldiers were rushing forward desperately, blocking the Qiang soldiers who were rushing forward.
Meng Junjian was terrified at this moment, not only Qin Kaiyuan was paying attention to him, but even Malanhua had mobilized a large number of people and sneaked into his hinterland without making a sound.What it means is self-evident.He stretched out his hand to attract a confidant, and said in a low voice: "Let's raise the smoke, call the people outside, and quickly return to the village to help."

Back to the strongest main hall in the stockade, more than 100 Qiang soldiers rushed up, deployed defenses along the steps, and firmly guarded the entrance of the main hall.
In the hall, Meng Junjian looked gloomy, looked at Malanhua, and said with a sneer: "It's such a trick that the mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind, my eldest niece, it's really three days of farewell, you should look at it with admiration! I brought all these people to the uncle's house." My confidant's vital point actually keeps me completely hidden, admire, admire!"

"Don't dare." Ma Lanhua smiled and sat down, "My niece has undergone a big change, if I don't think about it a little bit, what if I survive in this world?"

"Then how is my niece going to deal with me? Slash and take my stockade, or hold me hostage to threaten my tribe?" Meng Junjian knew in his heart that no matter what, it was impossible for his tribe to come back. The soldiers in the village were not enough for the opponent's teeth. As for Qin Kaiyuan, Meng Junjian didn't even have the interest to glance at him.

"Uncle, what are you talking about?" Ma Lanhua stood up with a smile, "If it's true what uncle said, why would I rush to my uncle to take advantage of a dark and windy night to touch Can't you just come up?"
"So what exactly do you want to do?"

"Uncle must have understood the current situation, otherwise he wouldn't have falsely responded to King Ning's story, but Uncle has both sides, thinking of pleasing both sides, and gaining some benefits from both sides, Uncle, you are not afraid that there are bamboos on both sides." Is it all for naught? You have seen it today, if I don’t come, you will fall into the hands of King Ning, they are not as easy to talk to as I am?”
Meng Junjian smiled wryly, he was indeed a bit inferior to these outsiders, and even the Malanhua in front of him became unfathomable.

"So I'm here to help uncle make a decision, but uncles on both sides can only choose one side."
"Do I still have a choice?"
Malanhua walked to the entrance of the hall with a smile. Su Hu led the Dingzhou army to rush in. Standing on the dam and staring at the hall above the steps, the first-grade bows were drawn one by one, and the sharp eyes gleamed coldly. The arrow is aimed far away.But Chen Bo, Huang Chang and the southern army they accompanied had long since disappeared.

"It seems that there is no choice." Ma Lanhua turned her head and said. "However, Uncle also knows that this is the best choice if there is no choice. Niujiao Village has been breached. It is a foregone conclusion that the Dingzhou Army Commander will drive straight in. There is still me to support the [-] mountains. The defeat of King Ning is a foregone conclusion. Uncle, you don’t want to wait until the overall situation is settled before you make a decision, icing on the cake is far worse than giving charcoal in the snow.”

Meng Junjian lowered his head weakly.He waved his hand and said to the Qiang guard at the door: "Put away your swords and guns and invite them in."

"Come on, tie them up!" Meng Junjian said again, pointing to Qin Kaiyuan and his two guards.

Standing in front of Qin Kaiyuan, the two guards pulled out their sabers with a choking sound.Qin Kaiyuan held down the two weakly, "Put down the knife, it's useless."
Pulling out the two guards, he looked at Malanhua on the opposite side, "Feng Shui turns, this time it's my turn to fall into your hands, but be quick when you strike, don't make the mistakes I made back then."

Malanhua looked at him with a complicated expression.
In a quiet room, Ma Lanhua and Qin Kaiyuan sat facing each other, and at the door, two agents of the Overwatch Council stood with their backs. Ma Lanhua was not a delicate lady, and her martial arts were not weak, so she was not afraid of Qin Kaiyuan's violent attack.
"Is Ping'er okay?" Ma Lanhua was silent for a while, then asked quietly.

"Very good, I have started to read characters with Mr. Qimeng." Qin Kaiyuan didn't think that Malanhua's mentioning the first was such a problem.
"I miss him a lot."

Qin Kaiyuan remained silent.
"I also want to thank you for not listening to your father and killing me with one knife."

Qin Kaiyuan raised his head eagerly, "Now I regret it very much. If I had known this, I should have killed you with one knife, so as to avoid today's disaster."
Ma Lanhua smiled self-consciously, "Why didn't you kill me back then?"

Qin Kaiyuan closed his mouth tightly and stopped talking.
Ma Lanhua sighed, "Kaiyuan, you are not a hero. I know that you liked me back then, so you didn't want to kill me. For this, no matter what grievances our two families have, I am still very grateful to you." of."
Qin Kaiyuan said coldly: "I just look at it for Ping'er's sake."

Malanhua smiled self-consciously, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you kill me or not, Kaiyuan, do you think there is still hope for you?"

"Hope is earned by yourself. If you don't fight, you have no hope."
"Do you think there is still hope for you to fight now? Kaiyuan, give up, I don't want to cause more murder, if there is a real fight among the [-] mountains, not only you people from the Central Plains will die, but our Qiang people will also be affected. I don't want any more disasters for my people!"

"You want us to surrender to Li Qing?" Qin Kaiyuan screamed.
"Yes, only by surrender can we survive." Ma Lanhua said: "Meng Junjian has already joined us. I can already gather nearly [-] Qiang soldiers in the [-] mountains. The land you occupy is precarious. How long can you hold it?" ?”

"Your father won't live long, Kaiyuan, you're still young, I don't want you to die too, they say you're married for a night, just like you were reluctant to kill me back then, I don't want to watch you die, even if For Ping'er's sake, I don't want Ping'er to lose his father either."

Qin Kaiyuan covered his face in pain, "Stop talking. I won't surrender. Our Qin clan is the nobles of the emperor. How can we bow our knees and surrender to Li Qing?"

Ma Lanhua stood up and said with a sneer: "Master Wang Hou, it's better to be kind. The head of the city changes into a king's flag. It has been a rule since ancient times that your Qin clan was not a country that was snatched from Da Zhou, but now it is snatched by Li Qing." Go, what is there to complain about?"
"Think about it carefully!" Ma Lanhua stood up and walked out.

Niujiao Village has completely fallen into the hands of the Dingzhou Army, Tian Feng's command center has been moved here, Guo Quan led Fengli's division into Shiwanda Mountain, the arrow points to the heart of Shiwandashan.Just waiting for an order, they began to advance inside.

Qingfeng walked into Tian Feng's command room with an urgent letter in his hand, "Secret document from Dingzhou. The general is going to personally go to the front line of Xingqin to command the battle, asking us to end the battle of Shiwan Dashan in the shortest possible time. To be transferred to Qingzhou to fight."

Tian Feng hurriedly stood up: "How about Guoshanfeng?"

"The general estimates that something may happen."
