After everyone finished eating the fried noodles, Wang Xiaobao also came back. He came to Zhu Hongsan and said, "Sir, there is a ferry two miles ahead, which is guarding more than 20 soldiers from Xinyang Guard. It seems that they have not received Xinyang and have been captured."

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Old Wang, you took a hundred people to touch them and killed them all. You might even get more ships."

Wang Xiaobao nodded and took people to work.

Seeing that everyone had eaten and had almost rested, Zhu Hongsan ordered Zhao Guodong to gather the team and rush to the ferry.

The group came to the ferry and saw that Wang Xiaobao had finished the battle. The ones guarding the ferry were not elite, but some old soldiers. Zhu Hongsan ordered to cross the river.

There are only three small boats at this ferry, and only thirty people can be brought over at a time. Fortunately, the Xishui River is not too wide, and you can run back and forth several times in an hour. By noon, all the people crossed the Xishui River.

Because the horses were half exhausted, Zhu Hongsan ordered all the remaining horses to be handed over to the scouts, led by Wang Xiaobao, spread out for five miles, and informed of the enemy situation at any time.

Because the bandits were killing people and setting fires in Xinyang, no one would pay attention to this small team every two or three days. Zhu Hongsan was getting farther and farther away from Xinyang without any danger.

I slept in the wild all night in the evening. The next day I continued to rush to the road. At noon, the scout Wang Xiaobao came to report the situation and found a fort ten miles ahead of the left. The fort was not big, and there were only two or three hundred people. What should I do if I asked for orders?

Zhu Hongsan saw that he had been running for two days and two nights and was really exhausted. He should find a place to rest. He ordered Zhao Guodong to take 300 people and 100 people from Wang Xiaobao to capture the fort, and then repair the place for a day.

The battle ended soon. When Zhu Hongsan brought the back team to the front of the fort, Zhao Guodong had killed all the adult men in the fort, leaving more than 20 elderly and weak people waiting for Zhu Hongsan's orders.

Zhu Hongsan ordered all of them to be killed without even looking at it. Now he is behind enemy lines and his own safety has not been guaranteed, so why should he care about the old and the weak if he has time?

The cooks made a hot meal for the first time in the evening, and everyone had a great time. After eating, they all fell asleep. They were so tired these two days. First, there was a battle in Xinyang, and then they started running away. They were in a state of tension. Everyone couldn't hold on to this relaxation. After all, they were not an iron man.

This is when Ma Rufeng also came out to take care of Ma Jiyuan. Ma Jiyuan originally thought that all the female relatives were dead. Unexpectedly, there was still one who was alive. When he thought about it, he realized that this was Zhu Hongsan who did it specifically.

Ma Jiyuan came to Zhu Hongsan angrily and said, "Why did you leave Ruyan's mother alone? Why didn't everyone else bring them?"

Zhu Hongsan said: "Why do you think Xinyang is five or six hundred miles away from Huguang? The journey is exhausted. I am afraid that my father-in-law will not be able to bear it, so I will take my mother-in-law with me to serve my father-in-law. As for the other son-in-law who is really not familiar with me, there is no need to bring them with me."

Ma Jiyuan was so angry that he had nothing to say when Zhu Hongsan said something, and his sleeves were thrown out.

Zhu Hongsan was so sleepy that Ma Jiyuan fell asleep immediately as soon as he left. He didn't get up until the next afternoon.

Zhu Hongsan saw that everyone had almost rested and ordered him to go immediately. He was only more than 100 miles away from the bandit camp, so it was hard to guarantee that he would not meet them. He happened to take advantage of the darkness to travel. Several large trucks were loaded with injured soldiers at the fort, and Ma Rufeng's mother and two children were also assigned to a large truck. After dark, everyone set off.

There is no light pollution in this era. At night, except for the moonlight and starlight, it is basically absolutely dark. Fortunately, Zhu Hongsan's people do not have night blindness. Although they are slower to travel at night, they are better at safety.

On the fourth day, Zhu Hongsan saw that he had been away from the bandits for more than 200 miles, so there should be no problem. He ordered him to rest at night and rush to travel during the day.

On the fifth day, I met a group of refugees on the road, with a number of about 200 people. Zhu Hongsan ordered Wang Xiaobao to destroy them. After the incident, Wang Xiaobao brought several living entries. It turned out that they were all residents of Xinyang City. After Zhu Hongsan ran away, the bandits entered the city and killed them for three days and three nights. Xinyang was basically burned out, and more than 50,000 people in the city survived less than 3,000 people. Luo Rucai has now led a large group of troops to Kaifeng to join Li Zicheng.

After hearing this, Zhu Hongsan was relieved and Luo Ru left. He didn't have to worry about anything. Henan has been destroyed so badly that people may not be able to see a hundred miles of people. There should be no problem.

After asking about the enemy's situation, he told Wang Xiaobao to silence him. Ma Jiyuan, a side, said angrily: "Why do you want to kill them after all the bandits have left?"

Zhu Hongsan really hated Ma Jiyuan, but for the sake of the Ma family, he couldn't get rid of him. He replied patiently: "Who knows whether what they said is true or false? What should they do if they let them go after the matter is released?"

Ma Jiyuan was so angry that he had nothing to say. Zhu Hongsan didn't want to spit with him here, so he rode his horse to the front of the team with his soldiers, and handed over the back team to Ma Rufeng for taking care of him.

Since we learned that the bandits had gone north, we slowed down. We walked thirty or forty miles a day before we rested. We rushed to Dongjiawu Fort on the fifteenth day.

After seeing that Dongjiawu Fort was safe and sound, Zhu Hongsan breathed a sigh of relief. If there was anything else in this world that could make Zhu Hongsan worry, that would be Zhu Luo, the daughter.

Zhou Yu saw the team from a distance and greeted it from afar. Seeing that most of the more than 500 people were injured, he hurriedly asked, "Sir, how are you? There are so fewer people."

Zhu Hongsan sighed and said, "Don't mention it, this time is too dangerous. It's so hungry but not in Xinyang."

Zhou Yu said: "It's good that sir, please go in and rest quickly."

Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "How are you doing these days? Is there no problem?"

Zhou Yu said with a strange expression: "No big problem, please check the others for yourself."

There was something in his words, Zhu Hongsan was about to ask in detail. Ma Jiyuan shouted, "Isn't this my teacher's fortress? What's wrong with me?"

Zhu Hongsan said: "It's nothing, I just let them go to the King of Hell for a walk."

Ma Jiyuan was completely disappointed with Zhu Hongsan. After escaping, he knew that it was difficult to escape at the critical moment. Although he hated Zhu Hongsan quite a bit grateful to Zhu Hongsan in his heart. After all, he saved him and his three sons and two grandsons (Ma Jiyuan didn't know that the bandits were sent in by Zhu Hongsan, so he could hang himself in a rage). But now he saw that his teacher and Zhu Hongsan were killed without any grudges, and he was completely disappointed with Zhu Hongsan.

Ma Jiyuan was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and pointed at Zhu Hongsan and said, "You...you...you are deliberately vicious. My teacher and you are not grateful and you will kill him all over the family."

Zhu Hongsan said, "I haven't killed them all. Am I such a cruel person? I left his family's wife behind. Mr. Tong even accepted his wife as a housekeeping company. The fat man even accepted his daughter-in-law and granddaughter to have a double flight?"

Tong Yangjia heard that he couldn't help but blush when he heard that he was still blushing. However, the shameless Qian Fatty was so blushing that he said, "I'm finally back. I'll kill two birds with one stone tonight, haha..."

When Ma Jiyuan heard these shameless people say this, his eyes rolled down and fainted. Ma Rufeng next to him was so scared that he quickly beat his back and pinched the man.

When Zhu Hongsan saw Ma Jiyuan awake, he said, "You guys are so kind. Is your third wife younger than your girl? Are you embarrassed to marry into the house? At least I am a real villain, and you scholars are all hypocrites."

Zhu Hongsan said this and Ma Jiyuan fainted again, but he didn't have the strength to scold Zhu Hongsan. He asked Ma Rufeng to help him back to the cart behind to rest.

When Zhu Hongsan saw Ma Ji leaving, he cursed: "This old guy, I don't say he is romantic and happy, but we have a problem and jump out and point fingers. Scholars are indeed not good people." After saying that, he might feel that the impact was too great, and said to Tong Yangjia: "Mr. Tong is not talking about you, you are our own people."

Tong Yangjia smiled bitterly and said nothing, thinking: "Why does this lord hate scholars? It's not okay to compete with scholars in the world."

Thinking of this, Tong Yangjia felt that he should persuade Zhu Hongsan, and stepped forward and said, "Lord, although scholars are not bad, their great achievements cannot be separated from them. Please treat scholars well in the future."

Zhu Hongsan nodded and bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tong for your teaching. Miss San will not make such mistakes again in the future."

Seeing that his lord could listen to his persuasion, Tong Yangjia's scholar's pride came up again, and he felt that Zhu Hongsan was still good.

Zhu Hongsan said happily: "I don't know the temper of you scholars? You just want to take it and retreat. You belong to the donkey. If you give you a few good words, you will think you have met a wise master. But this is also good. At least if you fail, you will have a few people who will die for the throne," he looked at the people next to him and thought: "Fatty Qian must not be able to do it. Tong Yangjia is hard to say. Ma Mingyuan can do it, and Feng Ziyong is the same. Don't think that Ma Jiyuan hates himself, he will definitely die for the throne at critical moments."
