The guard general Donna was wearing armor, with a wooden sword hanging on her waist. Cannons were mounted on the city wall. The soldiers in the city each had wooden swords in their hands, and the arrows used by the crossbowmen were inlaid with magic-suppressing stones.
A middle-aged man with a strong build came over. This man was Yan Gang, the left-behind deputy general in Dingxicheng.
"General Tang, there is something unusual at the border horse farm. I heard that the owner Ma Feizi has entered the grassland with his war horses."
Ma Feizi made a big fuss this time. The people under Lieutenant General Yan Gang heard the news and immediately reported it to Donna.
"Enter the grassland? Is there anything strange?"
Donna thought it was nothing strange. The spring snow had melted, the grassland was full of life again, and war horses entered the grassland to graze. This was normal.
Lieutenant General Yan Gang said: "Ma Feizi took away almost all the horses, together with the horses from several surrounding horse farms, totaling more than 200,000, and drove them all into the grassland. This is very strange."
Mafeizi had a lot of pastures, and Zhuangzi raised a large number of war horses with good quality. Xixia Iron Kites relied heavily on Mafeizi.
After the Eastern Zhou Dynasty occupied Xixia, the cavalry guarding Xixia also relied heavily on Ma Feizi's pasture.
Therefore, Ma Feizi drove all the horses into the grassland. Yan Gang felt that there was a big problem.
Donna thought Ma Feizi only took some of the horses into the grassland to graze, but she didn't expect to take them all away.
"What's this guy's plan? He actually brought them all into the grassland?"
Donna also felt there was a problem, so Lieutenant General Yan Gang said: "I will lead the troops to chase him!"
Donna thought for a while and said, "Yuncheng is two days' journey from Mazhuang. It has been a few days since you got the news, and it is too late to chase after it."
"Besides, we are guarding Yuncheng. If we leave with our troops, the defense here will be empty. If the ghosts invade us, things will be very troublesome."
The Empress has sent a letter from the flying eagle to tell Donna that after Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl come out of the Hera Pass, Cloud City must be more vigilant and must not leave their posts without authorization.
"But Ma Feizi took away the war horse like this, why should he just sit back and ignore it?"
Lieutenant General Yan Gang felt that he had to react.
Donna thought for a while and said, "In this case, you take people to Mazhuang and ask what's going on."
Yan Gang thought that he could only do this, and immediately led his troops to Mazhuang in person.
...
Wu Sheng led 90,000 troops to the entrance of the valley. The guard eagle had already entered the valley to conduct reconnaissance and confirmed that there were no ambushes or explosives in the valley.
Qin Hao, the general who broke the formation, looked up at the valley road. There were high mountains on the left and right, and only the valley road in the middle could pass through.
“I didn’t expect to pass by here again.”
Archer Zhang He whispered something.
They had crossed this valley before.
Wu Sheng looked at the weapons and animal skin clothes on the ground, as well as some severed limbs and ashes after spontaneous combustion.
Wu Sheng's face was very ugly, and the soldiers did not dare to speak nonsense.
Wu Sheng walked in front and strode through the valley. The rocks and broken limbs inside were still there, and the weapons and animal skins were still there. The sides were blown open, and you could still smell the pungent smell of sulfur.
Wu Sheng squatted down and carefully inspected the exploded stones. There were still gunpowder residues on the ground.
Wu Sheng was very interested in this thing called gunpowder.
Picking up a magic-suppressing stone, the skin of Wu Sheng's fingers felt a burning sensation.
Throwing away the magic-suppressing stone, the Martial Saint strode out of the valley.
Xia Feng's saber was stuck on the ground, and deputy general Ai Zhong's long sword was stuck beside him.
This was left by Yu Wenkai on purpose, waiting for Wu Sheng to see it.
Seeing the two weapons, Wu Sheng's eyes were cold and the corners of his mouth twitched twice. Qin Hao immediately stepped forward, drew his sword and put it away.
"Old Xia..."
Qin Hao shook his head and lamented that Xia Feng had been burned to ashes, and only the sword was left.
"I will kill Long Chen and avenge Lao Xia!"
Qin Hao hung the sword on his waist and cursed fiercely.
Wu Sheng said nothing and continued to lead his troops forward.
...
After the ghost fetus left the ghost army, he walked south alone.
His speed is very fast, and he even feels like he is running.
When leaving, Guitai originally wanted to leave on horseback, but Wu Shengsheng was marching on foot, so he was embarrassed to ride.
After walking for several days, Gui Ti finally saw a black line ahead, and the faint sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Ma Feizi's two hundred thousand war horses finally arrived.
Guitai felt happy, he could finally come up with something that impressed Wu Sheng.
An army of 90,000 people traveled such a distance on foot, so they needed horses in particular.
Gui Ti slowed down and walked slowly toward the horses.
Soon, a thin old man appeared. Ma Feizi was riding on a horse, followed by 200,000 horses. More than a hundred men slowly drove the horses forward.
"This slave pays homage to His Royal Highness the Holy Son!"
Seeing the ghost fetus, Ma Feizi excitedly jumped off his horse, rolled and crawled in front of the ghost fetus, lay on the ground with both hands, and saluted deeply to the ghost fetus.
The ghost fetus saved Ma Feizi's terminal illness. In Ma Feizi's view, the ghost fetus was a god-like existence.
"Get up."
Guitai said coldly.
In front of Ma Feizi, the ghost fetus regained the self-confidence of the holy son of the ghost clan, the sense of superiority that makes everyone crawl at their feet.
Ma Feizi slowly got up and said with tears in his eyes: "I miss the Holy Son day and night, and I just want to see Tianyan again. During the war in Nanliang, I went to Jinling City, but unfortunately I could not see the Holy Son."
son."
"Later the Holy Son returned to the north, and I thought I would never see the Holy Son again."
The more Ma Feizi talked, the more excited he became, and he knelt down and kowtowed to the ghost fetus again.
"Okay, okay, get up."
Guite was a little impatient, and Ma Feizi got up again.
The guys who came with Ma Feizi were shocked when they saw this scene.
Ma Feizi was very good at raising horses. Both Shi Le and Donna now respected Ma Feizi very much.
Shi Le also wanted to grant Ma Feizi an official title, but Ma Feizi refused.
Such a person actually knelt down in front of a ghost fetus, completely acting like a docile slave.
They couldn't imagine who the man in front of them, who seemed to be in his early twenties, was?
"Drink."
The ghost pierced his fingertip with a dagger, and the black ghost blood condensed into a drop of water. Ma Feizi knelt down devoutly, looking at the blood drop with greedy and excited eyes. His mouth opened tremblingly, and the ghost blood dropped into his mouth. Ma Feizi immediately
Swallow into the abdomen.
With a few drops of ghost blood entering his stomach, Ma Feizi felt like he was slowly becoming younger, and the old demeanor of the years was slowly disappearing.
"Thank you, Your Highness, the Holy Son. I am willing to follow the Holy Son forever."
Ma Feizi burst into tears of gratitude and didn't know what to say.
Guitai said impatiently: "Okay, how many war horses did you bring?"
Ma Feizi knelt on the ground and replied: "I have brought 210,000 horses, all of which are excellent war horses."
Gui Fei walked into the group of horses, and the riders dismounted one after another and looked at Gui Fei respectfully.
They didn't know the identity of the ghost fetus, but they could guess from Ma Feizi's servile look that the young man in front of them must be a big shot.
Guite looked around and said with satisfaction: "Well done, I didn't waste my blood."
At that time, Gui Fei regarded Ma Feizi as a chess piece to be used, and did not think that Ma Feizi would be very useful in the future.
I didn't expect it to play such an important role.
"I don't dare. I thank the Holy Son for saving my life. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay him in return."
Ma Feizi looked at the ghost fetus with the same look as a suckling baby looks at its own mother, wishing he could stick to the ghost fetus.
"Where is Li Chengdao? When did he find you?"
The ghost fetus asked Ma Feizi.
Asking Ma Feizi to drive the war horses into the grassland was one of the tasks given to Li Chengdao by Gui Tai.
Ma Feizi arrived, but Li Chengdao was missing. The ghost wanted to know where Li Chengdao was?
