    ?

    As a mountain dweller, Xiang Shan often hunts and wanders in the mountains, so he is used to driving in the mountains.  But even if Xiang Shan walked through the mountains, he would cross the entire mountain only very rarely.  For Xiang Shan, this was very exhausting.  What's more, for a literati like Ma Zhou, it is even more difficult to walk in the mountains.

    Many times when he was on the road, Xiangshan saw Ma Zhou panting while walking, and he would ask Ma Zhou if he wanted to stop and rest, but Ma Zhou said no, and continued on his way gritting his teeth.

    While walking, blisters appeared on his feet, and even many of his legs were bitten by mosquitoes, but Ma Zhou persisted.

    At first Xiang Shan didn't think how long Ma Zhou could hold on, but in the blink of an eye three days passed. Although Ma Zhou was tired, he never once said that he couldn't hold on.  Let Xiang Shan also look at him with admiration.

    Worthy of being an official in the army.

    This tenacity is very powerful.

    You must know that the old villagers in many villages cannot continue to support them.  Ma Zhou was a scholar, but he survived, so Xiang Shan admired Ma Zhou very much.

    Another day passed.

    As night fell, the group stopped moving forward.

    Rest in place.

    A bonfire was burning to dispel the darkness, while Ma Zhou, Xiangshan and the others gathered around the bonfire.  They are now in the mountains, mainly eating dry food.

    Ma Zhou took a mouthful of dry food, his eyes fell on Xiang Shan, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiang Shan, we have been walking for three days, guess what, there are still a few days before we can go out."

    Xiang Shan hurriedly said: "Military division, according to my usual experience, there is still about a day and a half before we can go out. We have walked for three days now, and we have walked more than half of the distance. Speaking of this time, it is relatively smooth.  The days are always sunny, and I have never encountered cloudy and rainy weather, so I can find the right direction and drive. If the weather is cloudy and rainy, it will be difficult. Under the infiltration of rain, many roads that have been walked in the mountains are easily covered by erosion, and it is also difficult to find  It's easy to get lost if you don't know the direction. This time, we are blessed by God."

    Ma Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is still more than a day left, that's good, that's good."

    For Ma Zhou, he has been persistent.

    Up to now, there are swellings on his arms, legs, and even many places on his face, all of which are caused by mosquito bites.  Even his legs had been walking all the time, and at first they were sore and weak, which was extremely uncomfortable, but now he is gradually getting used to it.

    Xiang Shan looked solemn, and praised: "Military Master, you are a very important official in Xia Guojun. If you want to enter Shuzhong, why do you have to go in person? In such a big mountain, let alone someone like you, even if I walk down, I will  Very tired."

    All the guards looked at Ma Zhou with admiration.  From the beginning to the end, Ma Zhou didn't complain about suffering or tiredness, and he didn't let anyone support him or let him carry him. He just went on his own way.  I couldn't bear it anymore, so I hurried on with a wooden stick.

    Such a Ma Zhou is admirable.

    Ma Zhou wiped his dirty cheeks, smiled, and said, "Soldiers in the army are human beings, and I am also a human being. If a lieutenant general can come, why can't I come? What's more, I have sneaked into the middle of Shu, and I am the only one who can come here."  Only then will I be more confident, and I will be able to relax."

    After Xiang Shan heard it, he was greatly touched.

    He admired Ma Zhou very much.

    Xiang Shan suddenly said: "Military division, can I ask a question?"

    Ma Zhou laughed and said, "But it doesn't matter."

    Xiang Shan said: "I have always been in the village, and I only know that it is now the Tang Dynasty. You are from the Xia Kingdom, and now the Xia Kingdom has come, and now the prince of the Tang Dynasty has retreated into Jianmen Pass with the army. Is it already  Without Great Tang, has Xia Guo replaced Great Tang?"

    Ma Zhou said: "Today's Tang Dynasty is indeed about to be replaced by Xia State. Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, has been captured by Xia State. The Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty has retreated to Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. The entire Tang Dynasty is about to be destroyed. Now Li Chengqian  Standing dead at Jianmen Pass is a stubborn resistance, and it is the last resistance."

    Xiang Shan suddenly said: "The military division promised before that once I lead you through this mountain, I will be the village official and give me back the money. I have changed my mind now, is that okay?"

    Ma Zhou said, "Did you change your mind?"

    Xiang Shan said: "Military teacher, I haven't read much, but I know a little martial arts and can fight the enemy. I want to join the army, and I want to kill the enemy and make meritorious service on the battlefield. I don't want to stay in the village, even if I am a village official,  Then he will be Muramasa for the rest of his life."

    Ma Zhou said: "Xiang Shan, it's not easy to be a small soldier. It's easy to die. If you take me through this area, if you can succeed, it will be a credit. Just be a small soldier."?, I feel a little wronged for you too.  It is impossible for you to become an official directly. You do not have such ability, and you cannot convince the public.  How about this, if you want to leave the village, how about following me and being my bodyguard?  "

    After Xiang Shan heard it, an ecstatic expression appeared on his face.  It never occurred to him that Ma Zhou was willing to let him be his personal guard. You must know that Ma Zhou is the military adviser of the army, and he is the biggest official.

    Xiang Shan knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Ma Zhou, and said, "The villain pays homage to the Patriarch."

    He is called the head of the house.

    It means that he regards himself as a man of Ma Zhou, equivalent to a domestic slave of Ma Zhou's family.

    Ma Zhou waved his hand and said: "Get up, it doesn't have to be like this with me. I won't say too much about the rules, listen more, watch more and talk less. As for how to address me, just call me sir."

    "yes!"

    Xiang Shan responded immediately.

    For Xiang Shan, he knew that he was lucky this time.  He was just a hunter in the village, he didn't know a few words, he didn't have any experience, and he was even in his twenties, because there was no one in his family and no money, and he couldn't even marry a wife.  Up to now, he was able to follow Ma Zhou. As Ma Zhou's personal guard, he had completely got rid of the mountain village and could follow Ma Zhou to see the outside world.

    Seeing Xiang Shan's excited expression, Ma Zhou also smiled slightly.

    Ma Zhou used to be quite down and out.

    Because of following Du Qi, he could jump up and become Du Qi's confidant.  If it weren't for Du Qi's kindness to him, he wouldn't be able to have his current status in Xia Kingdom.  Even though he has no rank in the cabinet, no one dares to underestimate him, because the people in the cabinet are the emperor's confidantes.

    In the past, Du Qi gave Ma Zhou a chance, so now Ma Zhou is willing to give Xiang Shan a chance.

    Let Xiang Shan walk out of the mountain.

    Ma Zhou chatted with Xiang Shan, and at the same time asked about his personal guards, and chatted with them.  Unconsciously, time passed, and when it was a little late, Ma Zhou and Xiang Shan began to sleep.  When sleeping at night, a group of guards take turns to watch the night, so that all the guards will not be so tired that they are very tired.

    Overnight in the mountains and forests, if all ten guards do not rest and guard, it will be fine for a day or two, but it will not last for a long time.  What's more, I have to drive in the mountains during the day, and I can't support it at all.  The best way is to take turns to watch the night. Ten people can arrange to spend the night easily.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
