march to victory

"Boom! Boom! Boom...Boom! Boom! Boom..."

In the end, because of his old age, the old man was on the way and sent Zhang Jinlong to call Ma Hongji.

Ma Hongji also knew that the old man was face-swept today, and at this moment, he was so angry that he didn't even dare to persuade him, so he ran into the village in a hurry, and in front of the gate of Ma's mansion, he beat Ma's mansion very unceremoniously door.

"Don't knock, don't knock, here we come."

Soon, there was a response from the concierge. However, the concierge obviously had some experience. Although he answered, he didn't open the door immediately. Instead, he asked first, "Who is it? It's in the middle of the night..."

"I, Zhang Jinlong."

"Ah! It's the second master! I'll open the door for you right now."

Ma Hongji has no brothers, and the Ma family and the Zhang family are extremely close, so good that they can directly enter the other's backyard without being notified.And because Ma Hongji's grade is half a year older than Zhang Jinlong's and two years younger than Zhang Jinlong's brother, therefore, in the Ma residence, Ma Hongji is called the master, Zhang Jinlong is the second master, and Zhang Jinlong's brother is the uncle.But when he arrived at the Zhang family, Ma Hongji was called the second master by the Zhang family, and Zhang Jinlong was the third master... This is also because Ma Hongji's parents died and he has no elder brother. Otherwise, the two families would call the three of them directly by age lined up.

The small door was opened, Zhang Jinlong stepped in and asked, "Is my second brother?"

"Back to the second master, when it was dark, Captain Ma came... The master is chatting with him in the guest room now."

Captain Ma's name is Ma Hongxin, he's from the same village, he's the next cousin to Ma Hongji, and he's the deputy captain of the guerrilla brigade in Sanqiao County.

Hearing this, Zhang Jinlong frowned: earlier, he had heard from Li Jing himself that the assault regiment had already sent someone to contact Ma Hongji, and now it seemed that this contact person was undoubtedly Ma Hongxin.But, how did this Ma Hongxin do things? He actually left the task unfinished, and no matter whether he finished the task or not, he should go to the back mountain to wait for Li Jing and the others. ?

Zhang Jinlong was about to walk forward, but he suddenly remembered something, turned to the porter and said, "What are you talking about? Hurry up, hang up the two lanterns at the gate for me."

"But, second master, the master personally ordered him to say..."

"You don't care what he says, just say what I said... What are you still doing? Waiting for me to give you a slap? Why don't you hurry up and hang up the lantern?" While preparing to hang the lantern, he calmed down a little bit, but he still couldn't help complaining: "Really, what time is this, and he's still playing with his bad temper..."

This shows how good the relationship between the two is.

I met a pair of patrolling soldiers on the way, and saw that they also did not carry the lanterns. They obviously got Ma Hongji's order, which made Zhang Jinlong angry all of a sudden. Dare to have the slightest hesitation, and quickly found a few lanterns nearby, not only keeping two for himself, but also hanging lanterns around.Then, he hurriedly informed the butler that the second master had spoken, and quickly hung up all the lanterns in the mansion.

Only then did Zhang Jinlong ask them which guest room Ma Hongji was in, and then he walked away quickly.

Zhang Jinlong was so angry that he pushed open the door of the guest room without even knocking. The first thing he saw was Ma Hongji sitting at the table with a big candle, a book in his left hand and a small purple sand pot in his right hand, reading a book while Sipping tea.There was a maid next to him to squeeze his shoulders again, it was really very comfortable.

At the second glance, I saw a person lying on the bed not far away, snoring loudly, and the room was full of alcohol.And there was a maid cleaning up the vomit by the window... Obviously, the person on the bed was drunk.

But it's also strange that a master like Ma Hongji, who has been a rich young master since he was a child, can bear such alcohol and snoring, and is so fascinated by it.

The sound of pushing the door startled Ma Hongji, and as soon as he raised his head, Ma Hongji frowned before he could see the person pushing the door clearly.Because he is the most respectful, if a servant dares to push in without knocking to get his permission, among other things, a whip or a day of starvation is indispensable.

But seeing that it was Zhang Jinlong, Ma Hongji immediately stood up happily, and before he could put down the purple sand pot in his hand, he smiled and said, "Jinlong, you didn't even say hello in advance when you came. What can I do? This world... Huh~!"

As he was talking, he saw Zhang Jinlong who had come to the side, sat down with anger on his face, grabbed the purple clay pot in his hand, raised his neck and poured it vigorously.Ma Hongji frowned again, and asked solemnly: "You came here in the middle of the night, and your face is full of anger, something must have happened. Tell me, how is Dad? Is there anything wrong at home..."

Seeing that Zhang Jinlong didn't answer, but just poured water, he snatched the purple sand pot anxiously, and shouted: "Oh~! You can drink it later, and explain the matter to me first."

At the same time, he waved his hand, and the two maids went out immediately.When passing by Zhang Jinlong, he did not forget to give Zhang Jinlong a blessing. It can be seen how high Zhang Jinlong's status is in the hearts of the Ma family and how good the relationship between the two families is. He is definitely half the master.

Zhang Jinlong glanced at him and said nothing.

But this glance made Ma Hongji think he was winking at himself, and looked back at Vice Captain Ma who was snoring on the bed, then grabbed Zhang Jinlong's right hand, and whispered: "Follow me."

"No need!" Zhang Jinlong didn't move, but looked at Vice Captain Zhang on the bed, and said with a sneer, "This matter has something to do with him."

What Ma Hongji said was a bit inexplicable, but he seemed to have guessed something, and couldn't help but look at Vice Captain Ma on the bed.However, he quickly calmed down.

Putting the teapot on the table in advance, he poured a glass of water for Zhang Jinlong and said seriously: "Xinlong, don't worry, no matter what happens, even if the sky falls, as long as the second brother is here, I will support you. I Let's see, who dares to come to Second Brother to trouble you... Come on, drink some water first, and speak slowly."

"Second Brother, it's really not that I want to be angry with you, but that you've made the old man half dead. Right now, I'm sitting on the hillside of the back mountain waiting for you, yelling all the time that I want to beat you to death." Seeing this, Zhang Jinlong actually laughed, but he felt a little gloating about his misfortune.

No wonder!Who told the old man to treat Ma Hongji better than his own son? It seemed that he was a little jealous in his heart.

"Ah! The old man is at the back of the mountain now?"

"Ok!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Follow me to pick up the old man..." Ma Hongji stood up anxiously and was about to go out, but he sat back after taking a step, and looked at Zhang Jinlong suspiciously: "Jinlong, you won't Is it because you are idle and bored, you came here to play jokes on me in the middle of the night?"

Zhang Jinlong didn't answer him, but rolled his eyes directly at him.

"I went to see the old man a few days ago, and the old man was talking and laughing with me. I haven't made the old man angry these few days! Why did you change your face in a blink of an eye?"

Zhang Jinlong directly talked about the critical moment when the village was harmed by little devils, Li Jing and others rescued everyone, killed all these little devils, avenged the victims of the village, and so on, all in one go.

Ma Hongji's complexion was wonderful, sometimes worried, sometimes excited, sometimes frowning...

"Is there a heavy loss at home?"

"There was no damage to the family, but several people in the village died, and half of the houses were burned down."

"It's good that we have nothing to do at home. As for the people in the village, the big deal is to give them more loans in the future and charge less interest."

In this regard, Zhang Jinlong could only nod.

However, the more Ma Hongji thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he couldn't help complaining: "But, I'm targeting him, Li Jing, not the old man. How could the old man get so angry?" As he spoke, he still didn't forget to look back at the bed. Deputy Captain Ma thought to himself: If it wasn't for him, Li Jing, would I have tried every means to get Ma Hongxin drunk?Even Ma Hongxin didn't drink, so I sent someone to tie him up and make him drunk by force, just to deal with Li Jing.

"It's not like you don't know the old man's temper. You have lived a life of face. No, now, Li Jing has become the old man's savior, and the old man also patted Li Jing's chest with his own mouth to ensure that you will not lose face. Who knows, turn around I just saw you posing like this, in the eyes of the old man, it was slapping him in the face, and it was slapped in the face by your son who is closer than his own son..." Zhang Jinlong smiled a little bit at this point. Looking at the show, he said: "Hey! Hey! Second brother, you are really good this time. You didn't see it. At that time, when the old man saw the dark scene in the village, his expression was, tsk! Tsk! The bottom of the pot is even darker, so angry that I immediately jumped up and scolded you for your small belly, and couldn't see the situation clearly... If I hadn't persuaded him halfway, he would come down and beat you to death."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and blinked at Ma Hongji, and almost told Ma Hongji directly, "Second brother, you are dead."

Ma Hongji was so depressed that he didn't say anything for a long time. The key point was that he felt that the old man was so angry that he didn't know why: old man!Can you stop taking irrelevant things on yourself all the time, can you?All right!Even if you want to recruit me, but you send someone to greet me in advance, I promise to obey unconditionally immediately, but you don't say hello, I don't know the reason for this, and in the end, you still said that you were angry with me , who do I ask for reasoning?

"Hey! Forget it." Ma Hongji sighed, and called out: "Come on!"

"I have seen the master, I have seen the second master. Master, what do you want?" The housekeeper of the family had already rushed over, but because he didn't know why Zhang Jinlong was so angry, and he was afraid that Zhang Jinlong would turn the anger on himself. He didn't want to take the initiative to seek abuse, so he kept hiding behind the door.

Ma Hongji looked at Zhang Jinlong again and asked, "Jinlong, this is not a joke. Are you sure what you just said is true?"

"If you don't believe me, it's you, not me, that the old man will smoke later."

Then Ma Hongji smiled wryly and said to the butler: "Set up a table of the highest quality banquet right away... Kill pigs and sheep, welcome the Eighth Route Army... By the way, send people to the village to beat gongs to get everyone up, and every household will order for me." Light, to welcome the people from the Eighth Route Army Assault Regiment into the village... Tell everyone, whenever Li Jing is in the village, no one is allowed to mention anything about Li Jing's past, let alone revenge. Who the hell dares to play tricks on me? , I will clean up his whole family when I turn around. Go!"

It was he who refused to let the lamps be lit, and he was the one who ordered the lamps to be lit——Emperor Tu.

"Jinlong, accompany me to pick up the old man, and say something nice for me by the way."

"It's no good, don't go!"

"Come on, let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Don't dare to delay... By the way, call Madam and Dabao and Xiaobao. The old man likes these two boys the most."
