march to victory

Li Jing and the others sat on the mountain and waited.

Li Jing has no doubts about the old man's position in Ma Hongji's heart, but he is not sure whether Ma Hongji will give the old man face in this matter. After all, he beat up the village several times at the beginning. If someone dies, this feud will be forged.

Of course, as long as Ma Hongji gives the old man face, even if it is superficial respect, and let him wait for others to enter the village today, then, if he corrects his attitude, I believe that everyone will forgive him in the end... In fact, Li Jing also understands that it is not so much about getting the understanding of the villagers , it is better to say that it is mainly to obtain Ma Hongji's understanding. After all, he knows the power and role of clan concepts in this society.It can be said that as long as Ma Hongji really forgave himself, then at least half of the villagers' anger and hostility would be resolved, otherwise, it would be a big trouble.

At this moment, Li Jing even complained a little about the task assigned to him by Zhang Qingshan.

Li Jing had no confidence in his heart, and Er Gazi and the others beside him were even less confident.

"Battle Commander, tell me, what will happen to Ma Hongji?" Er Gazi sat next to Li Jing and asked Li Jing in a low voice while passing a cigarette to Li Jing.

"I have no idea."

"Battalion Commander, I think we should be more careful."

Seeing Li Jing looking over in confusion, Er Gazi lit Li Jing's cigarette first.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Er Gazi glanced left and right and saw no one within a few meters, so he moved closer and whispered to Li Jing, "Master, I see this way, you take half of the people into the village first, and I take the other half." I am lying in ambush outside the village. Later, if he Ma Hongji is sincere, even if it is superficially to welcome you into the village, and then you will be fine until dawn, I will bring people into the village and say that he came just after completing a mission. But he Ma Hongji If we dare to play tricks, we will cooperate with the outside world and take over the village."

Even the title was changed to "Da Master", which shows that Ergazi was really worried about the matter before him, so he wanted to use this title to show that he was Li Jing's person.

Li Jing was silent... Er Gazi's proposal was normal and the safest way. After all, no one knew Ma Hongji's real plan. Even if he wins the final victory, he will definitely suffer heavy losses under the reckless fight. How can he complete the task?He, Li Jing, has really become a sinner through the ages.

Er Gazi looked straight at Li Jing, waiting for an answer.

"It's okay to cooperate internally and externally. This is at least just in case. However, even if we want to fight, we can only take Ma Hongji's house. For other people, we still have to be patient..." He said, looking up at the two Gazi, said solemnly: "Ergazi, remember, we are now the Eighth Route Army, you are the deputy company commander of the assault regiment, and I am the battalion commander of the assault regiment. In the future, maybe you and I can both become generals, brother If you follow me, it can be considered that we have a bright future, and it can be regarded as that we have an explanation to our brothers... Now, we really don't need to leave the broad road and go back to the past... Do you understand?"

"Master, it doesn't matter whether I understand or not, anyway, I will do whatever you say, and I will accompany you even if I behead you."

Li Jing patted Ergazi's shoulder emotionally, and then looked at Majiapo Village again, without saying a word for a long time.

"Bright!"

After a while, there was a light in the dark village.Then, I saw the house of a high-ranking family brighten up. Looking carefully, it turned out that there were many lanterns hanging in this family's house. In the darkness, they really stood out like bright pearls.

It also made the soldiers a little excited: after all, in the darkness, it is good to have some light.

However, everyone is not sure whether it will be fully lit next, or it will be turned off, and the whole village will be plunged into darkness again.

So, under this complex mentality of expectation and worry, no matter it was the soldiers who whispered before or fell asleep on the ground, at this moment, they all stared at the village below the mountain, waiting for the final answer.

After a while, everyone heard the beating of gongs, and it seemed that someone could vaguely hear someone shouting.Although I don't know what the shout is, but, as the sound of the gong spreads like ripples, the lights of every house are also turned on round by round.

"It's on! It's on! It's all on..."

"It's really good!"

"It's our own people after all..."

The soldiers were so excited that they couldn't help sighing and applauding.

Especially the vast majority of the warriors in the three and four rows who used to be heroes of the green forest cheered excitedly.Because in their view, since the people at the foot of the mountain are willing to light the lamps, they express their willingness to forgive their past mistakes.

Li Jing and Er Gazi stood up at the same time, looking at the bright lights below like stars in surprise, but their mood became a little complicated, or in other words, neither of them let go of their last bit of vigilance and worry.

After every household in the village turned on the lights and some people came out, Er Gazi suddenly asked in a low voice, "Battle Commander, should I take someone to wait outside?"

Li Jing thought for a while and said, "No need, but..."

Speaking of this, Li Jing sighed. He didn't know whether he was sighing at his previous mistakes, or he was not sure whether Ma Hongji was sincere.

"You can't do harm to others, but you can't do without a heart of defense! We are now the Eighth Route Army, and what should be tolerated is to be patient... However, you should let the brothers secretly be vigilant later, and be afraid of anything if not ten thousand."

"Understood!" Er Gazi nodded, and then asked, "Then shall we enter the village now?"

"It's better to wait a while." Li Jing looked at the village at the foot of the mountain, frowned slightly, and said, "The old man is not in good health, so he must not be able to run so fast. It should be the old man who sent Zhang Jinlong into the village to persuade Ma Hongji. Now, look at Ma Hongji's attitude , It should be to save face for the old man, but the two of them must not have met yet. Let's wait until they have an agreement, and then we go down, so things will be much easier. "

After all, it is the old Jianghu who can pull up a team from scratch. Just from the old man's body and the speed of turning on the lights, it can be analyzed that it is almost inseparable.

Sure enough, a team with torches quickly came out of the village and came up the mountain.

……

Mr. Zhang Mingfa was sitting on a stone by the side of the path, with a leather blanket under his buttocks. Zhang Jinlong's wife was standing beside him, constantly persuading him. You could see the effect from his stern face. not big.

There were two soldiers with guns standing around, and a little further on, five servants gathered together to rest.

Seeing the team with torches getting closer, Mr. Zhang's face became more and more tense.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!"

The team came in front of Mr. Zhang, and before everyone could speak, they saw two tiger-headed little guys rushing out of the team, shouting loudly, and happily rushing towards Mr. Zhang.

"Oh! Slow down, slow down." Seeing the two of them rushing forward, Mr. Zhang's tense face was instantly like a blooming old chrysanthemum. : "My little ancestor, what if I fall~! Isn't this killing me..."

The two little fellows immediately kissed Mr. Zhang on the cheek, making Mr. Zhang's goatee tremble slightly with joy.

Then, the two little guys stretched out their little hands skillfully at the same time, and said in unison, "Grandpa, I want candy!"

Ma Hongji, who was at the side, saw that old man Zhang smiled, and thought he could talk, so he dragged his wife to kowtow to old man Zhang: "My son has seen daddy!"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang didn't even look at the two of them, but smiled at the two little guys and said, "Good! Good! Eat candy, eat candy..." while touching his pocket.In the end, he didn't touch the candy, so he immediately yelled to Zhang Jinlong's wife: "Candy?"

"I'll get it!" Zhang Jinlong's daughter-in-law responded and hurried to get it.

And Mr. Zhang was obviously angry, and wanted to cool Ma Hongji, but he still didn't look at him. He just touched and squeezed the two children, and kept nagging: "It's thin! It's thin! Surely not. How to eat meat..."

The two little guys obviously got Ma Hongji's orders in advance. After the older Dabao looked back at his parents, he asked Mr. Zhang in a low voice: "Grandpa, it's cold on the ground, can you let daddy get up?"

Hearing his eldest son begging for mercy, Ma Hongji immediately raised his head and smiled obsequiously at the old man who came over.Unexpectedly, while receiving the candy from the younger daughter-in-law, the old man said to Ma Hongji's daughter-in-law: "Jiafang, why are you still kneeling on the ground, get up quickly, the ground is cold."

Ma Hongji's daughter-in-law did not dare to disobey the old man's words, so she glanced apologetically at her husband, stood up, walked to the old man Zhang, and stood with a smile on her face.

But Mr. Zhang looked away, distributed the candy to the two little guys one by one, and teased the two little guys from time to time, which made the two little guys laugh endlessly, as if they had forgotten their own father like.

On the side, Ma Hongji's wife just looked at Ma Hongji from time to time, and then secretly glanced at Mr. Zhang. She wanted to plead for mercy several times, but Zhang Jinlong's wife pulled her sleeves and shook her head gently, so she had no choice but to bow her head. .

Mr. Zhang has a strong aura, he doesn't make a sound, except for those two little guys, everyone else is like a log, let alone make a sound, he doesn't even dare to move.

After distributing the sugar, Mr. Zhang clapped his hands, kissed each of the two little guys on the face, and said, "Let's play!" Then, he watched the daughters-in-law of the two families take the children to the side to play After he had gone, Mr. Zhang looked at Ma Hongji.

At this time, Ma Hongji was still kneeling on the ground, and he didn't have the slightest intention to get up. Instead, he kept flattering and smiling at Mr. Zhang... It's not shameful to kneel to an elder, let alone Mr. Zhang, who treats him like his father. Therefore, Ma Hongji kneels with peace of mind, On the other hand, the servants and guards around him were not surprised by this. Obviously, although such a scene is rare, it is definitely not the first time.

"Xiaoji!"

"exist!"

"Get up."

"Thank you Dad!"

Ma Hongji was about to get up with a smile, but Mr. Zhang sighed and said, "Now that your wings are hardened, it's hard for you to give me back some thin noodles for this old face..."

Ma Hongji's frightened face changed, and he knelt on the ground again, crying...
