A doctor and several government officials were surrounding Ma Yuanming.
"Daddy!"
When Ma Yaner saw it, she immediately cried and rushed forward.
At this time, Ma Yuanming was more energetic than Zhang Bao imagined.
Although he was speechless, his eyes looked at Ma Yan'er in front of him with great energy.
The high fever seemed to have gone away, and there was a trace of blood in his face.
Zhang Bao glanced at the doctor next to him in surprise.
The doctor shook his head with a serious look on his face.
Zhang Bao's heart also sank deeply.
It is said that before death, there will be a phenomenon of light coming back, but with this sign, it also shows that Ma Yuanming's life has indeed come to an end.
"You all go out..."
Zhang Bao waved his hand gently, letting the doctors and government servants go out, and quietly came to Ma Yuanming's bedside.
I saw Zhang Bao coming.
The corner of Ma Yuanming's mouth seemed to be smiling softly.
With great effort, she put Ma Yan'er's hand tightly into Zhang Bao's hand.
His lips opened, but in the end no words came out.
"I understand..."
"I will take care of her for the rest of my life!"
Zhang Bao's tears couldn't help but fall down.
Since time travel.
Zhang Bao didn't have many friends, but the man in front of him, Ma Yuanming, somehow became his eldest brother.
Thinking about the time before, the two of them were drinking and chatting in Baoyue Tower, worrying about family and national affairs.
It’s so unpleasant to point fingers at the sky and curse the earth!
Before he knew it, Ma Yuanming, the eldest brother, had already become someone Zhang Bao recognized in his heart.
But now, he is about to die in front of himself.
Zhang Bao felt extremely sad.
Ma Yan'er burst into tears. In recent times, one after another changes have made Ma Yan'er almost collapse, and she could not accept her father's departure no matter what.
Nothing can be said, nothing can be done.
Just shaking his head and crying.
Ma Yuanming glanced at Ma Yan'er lovingly, with a lot of reluctance in his eyes, wanting to reach out and caress his daughter again.
But the outstretched arm finally dropped down feebly.
Ma Yuanming is dead.
"Daddy!"
"father--"
Ma Yan'er cried heartbreakingly, her eyes darkened, and she couldn't bear it anymore and fainted on Ma Yuanming's body.
"What's going on?!"
"Where are the people?"
"brother!"
"My brother!"
Chen Dadao shouted and rushed in from outside.
After he heard the news, he didn't even bother to mount his horse and ran over in a hurry.
When he saw that Ma Yuanming was dead, Chen Dadao couldn't help but shake his body.
"Hurry and save people!"
"Save my brother!"
"You bunch of losers!"
"Hurry and save people!"
"My brother!"
"..."
Chen Dadao held on to the door frame and cried.
He hammered the ground hard with his hand.
Although Ma Yuanming was only a small military prince.
But he is also Chen Dadao's life and death brother.
He even saved Chen Dadao's life on the battlefield.
If it were not for such trustworthy brothers, Chen Dadao would not have entrusted the important task of protecting the county government to Ma Yuanming.
But he didn't expect that.
The battle is obviously over.
His brother is still dead.
Chen Dadao was in pain and regretful!
I don't know how long it took.
Chen Dadao stood up from the ground in a dejected manner, his body hunched over, as if he had aged several years all of a sudden.
"Tell me to go down and set up a mourning hall so that the brothers can send them off properly..."
Finished.
Chen Dadao walked out slowly.
…
the next day.
Ma Yuanming's mourning hall is located inside the Yamen.
Zhang Bao is now the magistrate of Sanhe County, so naturally no one has any objections.
not to mention.
This time Zhang Bao.
Just like Ma Yan'er, he also wears filial piety, completely using his identity as Ma Yan'er's husband to take care of everything.
At this time, Ma Yan'er was kneeling in the mourning hall with eyes blank.
He hasn't said a word since he woke up.
Zhang Bao saw it and was anxious in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
At this time.
Any words are feeble.
All Zhang Bao can do is accompany her.
The rest can only be left to time.
Although it was still early, many people had already come to express their condolences.
Ma Yuanming went to die for the county magistrate this time.
The news spread almost throughout the county.
Everyone admired this Ma Junhou who looked down upon death.
So there was no greeting, and many people came spontaneously.
Zhang Bao was very surprised, but he still thanked him with the courtesy of a junior.
After a while.
There was a sound of neat footsteps outside.
Immediately afterwards.
A group of soldiers came in supporting each other.
All of them were injured, and many even had disabled bodies.
Everyone looked sad, with tears on their faces,
These people.
He was Ma Yuanming's former subordinate.
They are all the people who survived the battle to defend the city this time.
Regardless of the scars on their bodies, as long as they could move, they all came!
But although these people looked chaotic, everyone tried their best to walk resolutely, and no one made a sound.
It was as if he was being inspected by Ma Yuanming.
They know.
At this moment, the military lord is watching them!
Although the military lord is gone, his military spirit is still there!
They cannot embarrass the military lord!
Everyone came to the mourning hall.
"Junhou!"
“Have a nice trip!”
Everyone knelt down in unison and kowtowed three times to Ma Yuanming's body.
All of a sudden.
The ground in the courtyard was covered in blood.
Ma Yuanming loved his soldiers as much as his son, and always took the lead in every battle.
The people under his command will never be lenient when they make mistakes, but when the people under his command encounter problems, Ma Yuanming always takes it as his own problem.
So these people under him were fighting with Ma Yuanming.
All it takes is a look from Ma Yuanming.
They would rush forward screaming.
It was like a pile of dry firewood, and Ma Yuanming was the spark that ignited the raging fire.
But now.
Their fire was extinguished.
…
Looking at this scene, Zhang Bao couldn't help but be moved by it.
I don't know what to say either.
He stepped forward and helped the leaders up.
"Brothers, the spirit of the military prince in heaven will definitely continue to watch over you!"
"Everyone still needs to take care of themselves."
"After today, we will bury the military prince together with his former brothers, which is in line with the military prince's wishes."
"When you miss me in the future, you can come back often to see me."
Zhang Bao held back tears and said to everyone.
Listen to Zhang Bao's words.
Everyone's eyes were full of gratitude.
Soldiers wrap their bodies in horse leather and can be buried with many brothers.
I believe that Ma Junhou will not be too lonely on his underground journey.
"Thank you!"
"I heard that the shopkeeper is now the magistrate of Sanhe County. Can you allow us to stay here?"
"We brothers also want to continue to stay here and accompany the military lord!"
The leader raised his hands to Zhang Bao and said.
"this……"
Zhang Bao was a little undecided.
Although he is now the county magistrate, after all, these people were not originally under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate.
He had no choice but to turn his head and look at Chen Dadao who was standing aside.
"A few of them told me before that I have no objection."
Chen Dadao nodded and said.
"good!"
"In that case, let's continue to work hard, brothers!"
Zhang Bao also nodded.
It would be great if they could help defend the city.
After all, for Zhang Bao.
Although Chen Dadao and the others are here now, they will not stay here forever.
And if the rebels don't show up for a long time, Chen Dadao and the others can't wait forever. They still have to rely on themselves in the future.
After the condolences were over, Zhang Bao took people to arrange the body.
Then he took Ma Yaner back to the Yamen.
Since Zhang Bao is now the county magistrate.
It is not suitable to live in Baoyue Building anymore. It would not be convenient for the government officials to notify you if something happens.
So he asked Lao He to tidy up several rooms in the backyard of the Yamen.
Moved here.
Just walked into the Yamen.
A government official came to Zhang Bao.
"grown ups."
"The Sheriff is waiting for you in the hall and asked you to come over when you come back."
