Chapter VIII Planning
Ma Fan thought that this person was his old friend of his cheap father, so it would be better to pretend. Otherwise, if his father died, he would have nothing to do. Even if he lost his memory, he would be happy if he heard that his father died! So Ma Fan immediately pretended to be sad and said, "It's a pity that my father has gone!"
After hearing this, Li Le said, "I have heard about your father's affairs. The dog-thief General of the Heavenly King in Tang Zhou has sent someone to take his head and live for a few days. You don't have to be too sad. I came here to rescue you with the order of General of the Heavenly King. You can go with me now!"
Ma Fan asked carefully: "Uncle Li, why did General Tian Gong know that I would appear here?"
Li Le said: "General of God is powerful and I don't know what I don't know. OK, don't ask more questions. Although there are still a few people who are blocking the Han army there, they will retreat soon. Let's leave here first. General God is still waiting to see you, don't delay!"
Niu Shun stood up and said, "Shishou Qu, please wait for a moment. These brothers have been with us for so many years. Now that we are dead here, we cannot let them corpse in the wilderness. I beg the coach Qu, and let us bury them on the spot."
Li Le thought for a while and said, "Okay, but hurry up. If it takes a long time, I won't wait for you."
After Niu Shun thanked, he immediately took Niu Er, his son and the rest of the people to dig a hole and bury people. I don’t know if it was because Ma Fan was Ma Yuanyi’s son or Ma Fan was the one whom Li Le was looking for, Niu Shun did not call Ma Fan to help.
Seeing that they were busy and had nothing to do, Ma Fan asked Li Le on the side, "Uncle Li, where are we going?"
Li Ledao: "Go to see General of Heaven!"
Ma Fan was speechless and continued to ask, "I want to ask General God where is he? Are we going to Julu?"
Li Ledao: "It's not that I go to Julu. General Tiangong is now in Yecheng. We can reach it in less than a few days if we cross the Yellow River."
Li Le didn't know whether it was because his friendship with Ma Yuanyi was really good or he was in a good mood, so he rarely explained to Ma Fan: "Originally, General Tiangong planned to mobilize Taiping Taoist disciples from Jing and Yang states to sneak to Yecheng, and actively contacted the eunuchs and believers in the Luoyang Palace to act as internal support. On March 5, the uprising in Luoyang and the states at the same time overthrowed the Han Dynasty. Therefore, General Tiangong had already arrived in Yecheng a few days ago. Because the traitor of Tang and Zhou wrote a letter to the court, all our plans were leaked, so General Tiangong had to revolt early.
I was going to rush to Yecheng. I realized that things had changed halfway. Then I received an order from General Tian Gong. It was General Tian Gong who knew that I was near Luoyang, so I asked me to save you, otherwise I would not have come here to find you so soon. However, because the people from Jing and Yang states did not reach Yecheng, it was very dangerous for General Tian Gong to continue to stay in Yecheng, and Yecheng was no longer possible. It would definitely be transferred soon. If we don’t walk faster, once General Tian Gong moves to the place, we will have to walk a lot more roads."
Ma Fan asked, "Uncle Li, I heard you tell the Han general that there are so many people coming to us. What about the others? Don't we have to wait for them?"
Li Ledao: "The Han Dynasty had countless secret guards on the roads around Luoyang, and they had been patrolling the area to search for our Taiping Road. If there were too many people, the goal would be too big, so it would be inconvenient to move, so we would not meet with them."
Ma Fan asked carefully: "Uncle Li, is there anyone who is better than you in the Han Dynasty?"
After asking, Ma Fan carefully observed Li Le. Because Ma Fan was the one Zhang Jiao wanted, he dared to be so bold. However, he was still afraid of offending Li Le because of what he said. Li Le might not dare to kill him, but it would be too simple to make him suffer more. He found that Li Le was not angry and breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Le said calmly: "Of course there are, and there are many, why are you asking about this?"
Ma Fan said: "Uncle Li, I think we are walking like this on such a big road. You are wearing yellow turbans on your head, so it is easy to be recognized. We don't have horses, but the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty have horses, and they can ride horses on the official roads at will. Their contact speed is very fast. If there is no one better than Uncle Li, then there is no problem with us like this aisle. Uncle Li will kill as many people as you come. But they have people who are better than Uncle Li. Once we are discovered by them, there will definitely be a great expert to support us. Then we may be very bad."
Li Le stopped and asked, "Then what do you think we should do now?"
Ma Fan couldn't see whether Li Le was angry, but for his own sake, he still plucked up the courage and said: "Since our Yellow Turban Army has revolted now, the direction of the revolt must be very tight. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get through now, otherwise we will go west to Qiongzhou and then go back."
Li Le said angrily: "Hmph, I thought General God valued you so much. I'm afraid you have something extraordinary and could express any outstanding opinions. It seems that he is just an ignorant child. Now it is the time when I was using people from the Yellow Turban Army. As the Commander of Qu, how can I delay in Qiongzhou and other places? Besides, General God wants to see you, and he must have a reason to see you. If it is an urgent matter, wouldn't we have a mistake after we make such a turn?"
When Li Le scolded this, Ma Fan's face turned red. If it weren't for his weak strength and many places to rely on Li Le, Ma Fan really wanted to beat Li Le up.
Li Le didn't dare to offend Ma Fan, the person who cared about Zhang Jiao, too much. Seeing that Ma Fan looked bad, he said patiently: "Although it is impossible to detour Qiongzhou, what you said makes sense. It is easy for us to continue walking on the official road like this, and we must also consider the route carefully."
As soon as Li Le finished his words, someone immediately said: "The villain is a local from Luoyang and is quite familiar with the surrounding area. I know that a road is both safe and fast, and can quickly reach the Yellow River."
This person was a man under Ma Yuanyi who escaped from Luoyang City with Ma Fan and others. Fortunately, he survived the battle with the young Han generals. However, this person could not sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, could not practice, and had no strategy, and was not valued by others. Ma Fan had just arrived in this world for less than a day, and he was not familiar with this person, and he didn't even know the name of this person. At this moment, when he saw him stand up on his own initiative, many people felt strange.
Li Le glanced at him and asked, "You are a local from Luoyang, so what is the way you are?"
The man pointed to a mountain peak not far away and said, "It's there. The mountain over there is called Beimang Mountain. The trees on this mountain are extremely lush and easy to hide. Moreover, I heard some Taoist priests who come and go to say that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on this mountain is very rich and suitable for cultivation and recovery. Moreover, because the tombs of many emperors of the Han Dynasty are on this mountain, it is impossible for the Han Dynasty troops to go in and search. Although there are soldiers guarding the intersection all year round, I know that an unguarded path is safe as long as we enter it. After passing Beimang Mountain, we will be able to reach the Yellow River soon."
After hearing this, Li Le said, "I have heard of the name of this mountain in Beim Mountain, but if you really know that such an unguarded mountain path can be so safe after entering this mountain, why don't you give them some time ago?"
Na Ran said, "Ship Qu is not sure if there are too many dead people buried in this mountain and are haunted from time to time. Even the Han army guarding this mountain has been moving out again and again, and often seeking Taoist priests to do it. However, it seems that the effect is true, so I dare not guide them a few days ago. However, after seeing the power of the commander Qu, I thought that the ghost, Qu, would go away from the distance. Others can't go there, but with the commander Qu, we can go there, so we rushed out and propose here."
