() "Go to the village first." Although he didn't want to see the tragic situation of the villagers being slaughtered, but seeing that it was getting late, Ma Yue decided to enter the village. But when he saw those who had fallen in the village, most of them were covered with snow.

When he saw the villagers in his body, the anger in his heart was still uncontrollable. This was the second time that he had a different understanding of this era.

It turns out that in this era when heroes emerged in large numbers, there were still many innocent people who died in places where the glory of heroes could not shine. And they were completely forgotten by history.

After nine days, everyone suddenly discovered that the Yanhuang bloodline had been severely damaged!

Taking a deep breath, Ma Yue suppressed the anger in his heart, but somehow, he could still smell the frightening smell of blood from the cold air. After a while, he said: "Everyone, please work hard."

, first bury all the people who suffered in this village. It would be better for them to be buried in peace."

"Yes!" Everyone agreed. Whether it was Wang Feng and other brothers, or the officials, their mentality at this moment was the same, they wanted to let these poor people go to their graves as soon as possible. So soon, everyone

Then they dispersed, looking for handy tools and the body that had fallen dead in the house. They worked until after dark and then buried the body hastily in a big pit in the middle of the village.

Seventy-eight people in the village were killed by the Qiang people.

"Sir, this village is really strange. Why does it only have such a small population, and most of them are old and weak?" After burying all the people, Zhou Yong came to Ma Yue holding a stoneware bowl and handed it to him.

The bowl is filled with mutton soup, and there are some dry biscuits in it. After soaking, it becomes the mutton steamed bun of later generations.

"Do you remember the people we saved last time?" Ma Yue took the bowl, but he had no appetite. The tragic situation of the people killed by the Qiang people kept flashing in his mind.

"Remember, those people at that time were mostly old, weak, women and children."

"Their situation is the same. These people were rescued from the Qiang people by the army. As for the young people in the village, they should have been killed by the Qiang Hu in the previous attack. If I

It is expected that there must be the tombs of these victims near this village." Ma Yue said.

"They actually didn't even spare these people who had just escaped with their lives. They are really worse than animals!" After hearing Ma Yue's speculation, the other guards around him became even more furious: "If we find them, we will definitely retaliate in kind."

!”

"Yes, we must repay blood for blood and tooth for tooth in the future!" Ma Yue turned to look at the large tomb that had no name left and said: "The barbarians have been invading our Han land for many years, but we have always just killed them

To drive things away. During the reign of Emperor Wu, we dared to shout that anyone who offends our strong men will be killed no matter how far away they are. Can't we today reaffirm this power?

"I, Ma Yue, am here, and I swear in front of these people who died that in my lifetime, I, Ma Yue, will definitely restore the prestige of my Han family, so that my people of the Han family will no longer be bullied by foreigners, and I will stop those who dare to offend me.

Those on the Han border will pay ten times or a hundred times the price!" Ma Yue raised his hands and said solemnly.

When Wangfeng and others saw it, they also stood in awe, and then said: "We are willing to follow the young master to rebuild the prestige of our Han family and fight against foreign enemies together!"

From this moment on, Ma Yue, a talent who came from the year before last, was completely integrated with this era. In the past, although he had had such thoughts, after all, everything was a little far away from him, and he had not yet had a personal experience.

Experience. But after that adventure to save people, and this time seeing with his own eyes the tragic situation of Han people being slaughtered by the Qiang, Ma Yue finally told himself that he was not a spectator of history, but a participant in history.

Since God has allowed him to come to this era, and he knows what kind of tragic fate the Han people will encounter in these hundred years, he has the responsibility to change everything. Even if this road is very rough and difficult,

He won't look back either!

At this moment, Ma Yue has set the most ambitious ambition in his life. It is not for the prosperity of himself and his family. What he does is just for the inheritance of this nation and for the survival of the people in the world!

The other gentlemen looked at Ma Yue standing there, and suddenly felt that this young man had an aura that made people afraid to look directly at him. This was something they had never seen from Ma Yue.

This momentum made them feel so convinced that they even had the idea of ​​following it to the death.

Soon after, someone discovered the large cemetery behind the village. More than 200 of them were new graves. They were obviously people who were killed when the Qiang people robbed people. This also confirmed Ma Yue's inference just now.

This made everyone's hatred towards the Qiang people even deeper.

At this time, Wang Feng suddenly thought of something: "Sir, do you think those Qiang people will come back again? If they suddenly turn back tonight and we are completely unprepared, I'm afraid..."

Ma Yue shook his head: "They probably won't come back. They have robbed all the useful things in this village, not even half of the livestock is left. And judging from the corpses of the people here, they didn't even think about it.

Come back later, so it should be safe tonight."

Although what he said, Wang Feng did not dare to be careless, so that night, he still asked his brothers to take turns guarding the entrance of the village to prevent unexpected events. However, Ma Yue was right this time, and after a night, he was nowhere to be seen.

Traces of the Qiang people.

There was no words for the whole night. When Ma Yue stepped out of the village at dawn the next day, he had completely suppressed yesterday's grief and anger in his heart. Whether it was his hatred for the Qiang people or his sympathy for the innocent people, he was deeply moved by it.

Buried in my heart, I just wait for one day to fulfill the vow I made.

Now, Ma Yue knows very well what he should do. At this turning point in history, what he should do most is to develop and strengthen his own strength. Only with enough strength can he realize his seemingly distant and unattainable wish. And just

Judging from the current situation, his top priority is to obtain enough food and grass for the army from the wealthy families this time, so as to be truly attracted by Dong Zhuo as a confidant, so that he can have a certain status in the future when Dong Zhuo succeeds.

Looking back at the still silent village, Ma Yue muttered in his heart: "You all have spirits in the sky, and you are watching in the sky as I, Ma Yue, fulfill my wish step by step!" Then, after beating the horse, there was no response.

Gu Di headed towards Long County.

??????????

Originally, the journey from Lintao to Longxian was only two or three days by horseback. However, the road was covered with snow, so the journey was much slower. It was not until the evening of the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month that they arrived at Longxian.

Next. Looking at the familiar city wall shining with golden light under the setting sun, Ma Yue was filled with emotion.

After only two or three months of separation, I have experienced a lot and changed a lot. But what remains unchanged is the blood-thicker-than-water affection between myself and my family, and my decision to preserve the Ma family in this troubled world.

Entering the county town, he rode along the familiar road. Soon, Ma Yue came to the front door of his house. He was not in a hurry to talk to Li Xiangru about business. After all, he still had plenty of time, so he still met with his parents and family first.

Let’s talk about my brother who is about to get married.

When he saw the festive decoration in front of the door, Ma Yue's face finally showed a long-lost smile. He jumped off his horse and rushed straight into the door. The servant guarding the door was startled when he saw that the second young master had returned.

Then he remembered his responsibilities and hurriedly chased in, shouting: "Master, madam, the eldest young master, the second young master is back!"

Soon, the entire Ma family was alarmed, and many servants rushed out. Even Ma Yue's mother had also walked out of the backyard. When she saw that her son had returned, the mother's eyes flashed.

She burst into tears: "Xiaokang, you are finally back..."

When Ma Yue saw his mother, he stopped walking and stepped forward to bow politely: "My son has met my mother. We have not seen her for several months, and I am worried about you."

The mother pulled her son over and looked him up and down for a long time before saying with tears in her eyes: "You have lost some weight and become darker, but you are also more energetic than before. It will be good to come back, it will be good to come back..."

Although it was just a few simple words, Ma Yue was deeply moved by her mother's heartfelt love. As the saying goes, the mother worries when her son travels thousands of miles. Although Lintao where she is located is only a few hundred miles away, for a pair of children who have never been together.

For mother and son who have never been separated, the distance is still very far.

After a long time, the mother recovered, pulled Ma Yue and said: "You are tired from the long journey. Go and take a bath. Your father and brother will also come back later, and then our whole family will have dinner together."

"What, is the eldest brother already working in the government?" Ma Yue asked hurriedly.

"Yes, after returning from that war, your father recruited Heihu into the army. I don't know what he thought. Heihu was only fifteen years old, so he was so anxious to get him involved."

In the eyes of every mother, her son is just a child.

Ma Yue knew in his heart that this was Ma Teng's effort to deal with Dong Zhuo's possible recruitment behavior. In this way, Dong Zhuo would not be able to use means to transfer his brother to his subordinates in a short period of time. However, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

I understand, that is, seeing that the brother's marriage is approaching, why are they still staying in the Yamen?

That night, the family happily had a meal, and Ma Yue and the Ma Chao brothers slept together again, talking about many things after their separation. Ma Chao had become a member of the army and was training every day.

Although it was hard work, it made him happy. As for the marriage, he took it very lightly: "It's just a mutual transaction, nothing at all." Only then did Ma Yue know why he still stayed in the military camp all day long.

This is also a major problem in this kind of marriage where interests are integrated.

Ma Yue was speechless for a moment after hearing his brother's words. It seemed that his brother was actually resistant to this kind of obviously utilitarian marriage, and only accepted it for the benefit of the family. He only hoped that this woman

Can really become a good match for his brother, Ma Yue finally thought.
