In the blink of an eye, spring and autumn came for another year, and the time came to the second year of Guanghe, that is, in 179 AD.

Zhangshan Village is still Zhangshan Village, and Zhangshan is still Zhangshan.

The young hunter threw down a pheasant that had recently died, and flew up to the top of the tree without saying a word. He has long understood the meaning of hibernation, just as all these years of poverty have not erased his blood.

And he is waiting, waiting for an opportunity to make him stronger, to escort his relatives in the upcoming big Lang tide, even if he spills his blood to fight for a bright future for his family.

The young man's body was covered with mud, the woods were dense, the black panther who heard the wind did not see the danger above his head, and the surprise of meeting dead food on the way to feed, its brain had not yet evolved to the extent that it could see through such clumsy schemes, and it was safe to enjoy the treasures given to it by God, and the young man's heart was happy, although there were many prey in the deep mountains and old forests, and it seemed that such a two-meter giant beast could not always be seen, and this kind of shiny fur was torn off to get thousands of dollars.

At this moment, Ma Yue pulled out a shakugo short spear from his back waist and threw it out suddenly, jumped off the branch with the spear and pulled out the short knife with his right hand, lest a spear be missed.

The short spear was made of fine iron, and the blade length of five inches and the smooth front reflected the fierceness of the black panther suddenly raising its head, it was too late, the heavy iron spear was thrown out of hundreds of catties of huge force The lethality of the flesh and blood could not resist, and the shot into the back of the black panther's head was almost instantly pierced out of the jaw, and it was inserted into the ground without even having time to struggle.

After landing on the ground, the young man looked at the short knife in his hand and smiled, this time he was too worried, he learned from Brother Hou that this spear-throwing kung fu was already proficient, and with his explosive growth of strength, even such a ferocious beast was difficult to resist.

Looking at the sunset in the sky, Ma Yue put his knife into the sheath and carried the prey, then galloped towards the north with his legs open, startling birds all the way. In order to hunt, he was too far away from home, and it was too late to rush back, so it was better to run out of the forest from the north to borrow a horse on the official road.

Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. The Qiang people are Diao people, Ma Yue is even more Diao people, since the year before last led the Qiang people into the state, his name in Zhangshan within a hundred miles of Hu Han no one knows, who does not know that the Ma family is a hero.

The woods gradually thinned, the field of vision widened, the sky was getting darker, but I heard a commotion on the official road, and when I ran closer, I saw the blood rushing to the sky, shouting for killing and calling for help, and the first reaction was to draw a short knife and put down the body of the black panther, and Ma Yue hid behind a tree before he saw the situation ahead.

There are two well-made carriages parked in the center of the official road, which can be seen at a glance as the families of dignitaries, one carriage can be seen to be riding, and the other carriage is loaded with several boxes, and you can figure out that there are not a few belongings in it with your buttocks. Dozens of corpses were crooked beside the carriage, and more than 30 tattooed men with broken hair were besieging several Han guards who were dead guarding the carriage. The martial arts of the two sides are unusual, and it is thought that a group of bandits met with these two carriages and temporarily attacked them.

Ma Yue didn't have the idea of jumping out to be a hero, although his martial arts had made great progress in the past two years, but it was more than thirty men with sharp blades, and he just came out hunting without even wearing leather armor. Over the years, he has long been accustomed to seeing life and death, and he has long understood the temper of life and death when a man in the north disagrees, but this does not mean that he can watch others take his own life for a disagreement. He just planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and maybe finally touch a handful of fish in troubled waters.

Although the number of Han sergeants next to the car is obviously insufficient, they are all veterans who form a formation to meet the enemy, but there are also some rules, how many times they have experienced several battle formations, Ma Yue's command ability may not be much, but his vision is still there. What's more, the Qiang people are obviously bandits, and at first glance, they are a rabble, and their combat effectiveness is high.

"It's a pity to be so sharp."

Ma Yue sighed silently in his heart, it is indeed a pity, if the guards are doubled, it is not impossible to defeat these dozens of rabble, but it is a pity that now there are only six sergeants left, and two are seriously injured and cannot be lived, and the victory and defeat of this battle have been divided. However, the Qiang people also failed to please, and the guards of the Han army were fearless to defend against them by the side of the carriage, and the killing was inextricable, and several people fell in a moment.

Ma Yue sighed, and although he repeatedly restrained himself from making a move, he still felt out the iron spear and rushed forward.

The three iron spears were thrown out by Ma Yue in one go, and then jumped into the battle group with a knife to cut down a Qiang man, and at this time the Qiang people also found an uninvited guest from the woods, and in an instant, three knives turned around and slashed at Ma Yue.

The situation was dangerous, hurriedly turned over and rolled out two feet, but was still cut through the chest by a knife, the wound was not deep and immediately oozed blood, so he simply pulled out a short spear from the corpse on the ground to hold the blade that was about to be added, and stabbed the bandit into the abdomen with a backhand. The remaining four Han sergeants saw that the powerful helpers were coming, saw hope, and launched a charge with a shout.

Throwing the iron spear at an enemy, Ma Yue raised his knife and slashed the throat of the Qiang man in front of him, and the blood sprayed Ma Yue's face, and the frightened look on the Qiang man's face had not yet solidified, and he was blocked by Ma Yue against the two knives that came from his side.

Ma Yue, whose face was stained with blood, was even more red-eyed, and the short knife in his hand had already been curled. Ignoring the harsh sound brought out by cutting into the flesh and blood, the Qiang bandits at this time have lost the prestige they had just now, and since Ma Yue joined the battle group, the battle has become a one-sided state, and defeat is only a matter of time.

With the first Qiang people to escape, there was a second one, and the remaining dozen Qiang people collapsed and fled.

Killing two Qiang people who didn't have time to escape, Ma Yue breathed a sigh of relief, from the time he joined the battle group to the collapse of the Qiang people only took dozens of breaths, and more than seven Qiang people died at his hands. Looking at the wailing official road, Ma Yue had a hint of understanding of the future chaos in Liangzhou.

Life is so uncherished in the Northland, the so-called poor mountains and bad waters out of the Diao people are only forced out, the bandits are innocent, and those guards who sacrificed their lives for loyalty are worthy of Ma Yue's respect.

As a result, three Qiang people lying on the ground wailing, Ma Yue began to examine the weapons scattered on the ground, in the past two years, the family no longer joined the army to subsidize the family, and the number of warriors who ate white rice at home increased, and there were thirty or forty ownerless weapons on the ground, no matter how small the mosquito was, it was meat, how could he miss it.

At this time, the thieves had been defeated, and the three surviving Han soldiers were either lying on the ground or resting next to the car, one of them reported to the nobles on the car in a low voice, and then forced his body to walk towards Ma Yue, that is, he bowed to the end, "Thank you for the grace of the strong man to save his life, dare to ask the strong man's name?" ”

Ma Yue grabbed a long knife from the ground and waved it twice, seeing that the sergeant was relieved to make this great gift to him, and when he heard the words, he said: "What is a big name or not, it is called a certain Ma Yue." ”

"My wife has difficulty moving, so teach me to ask the strong man to come forward and thank you."

Ma Yue didn't care whether he was grateful or not, his three iron spears were not bent and wiped clean and tucked back to his waist, and the long knife was wrapped in the torn clothes in his hand and walked towards the carriage.

When I got closer, I heard the woman's gentle voice coming from the carriage, "Liangzhou Pei Shi is grateful for the grace of Engong for saving his life, I don't know who Fufeng Ma Su is?" ”

"Madame doesn't have to be polite, it's my father."

Suddenly, a voice as clear and beautiful as a nightingale came from the carriage, and the little girl with clear eyebrows poked her head out and asked, "Are you Ma Jia Saburo?" The one who led half a hundred Qiang Hu and the state to find relatives the year before last? It's just that at this time, the little girl frowned, "I once heard that Ma Sanlang had handsome eyebrows, but I didn't expect it to be a scarface." ”

Pei Shi hurriedly said: "Ying'er must not be rude, don't be surprised by Wang Saburo, this niece of the slave family is used to not knowing etiquette." ”

The girl in the carriage stuck out her tongue at Ma Yue, made a grimace and hurriedly hid in the car, Ma Yue touched her head and said with a smile: "The girl is right, the year before last, the more she went to Bingzhou to find her brother, Ma Sanshan Village does not know the etiquette, and he will definitely not be surprised." Please forgive me for daring to ask where Madame is going? ”

"The women's family went to Hedong Province to pro, and on the way back to Longxian County, they encountered several bandits, and there are only three of the hundreds of guards left."

"Longxian is still dozens of miles away from here, and Madame only has three guards but two carriages, and the road is far away and bandits are rampant, so it is difficult to protect them thoroughly. It is better to send a sergeant home to report the news, Zhangshan Village is only a few miles away from here, and Madame and I went to the house to gather the Zhuang Ke to ride fast horses to escort Madame overnight, thinking that we can see the city of Longxian County tomorrow morning. What does Madame think? ”

The woman in the carriage had finally seen the world, and now she sent a sergeant to ride on the ownerless horse left by the surrounding Qiang people to report the news to Longxian, and the remaining two sat on the wheel of the carriage and prepared to catch the car.

And Ma Yue picked out more than a dozen steel knives and hung them on the horse's buttocks with torn clothes, and carried out the body of the panther from the forest and put it on the carriage with boxes, gathered three horses that looked good and held the reins in his hands, and then saddled the horse, Yu Guang saw that the lady in the carriage was observing his every move, Ma Yue smiled and said: "Madame, don't be strange, the more stingy, it is really forced by life, after the death of my father, the family is in the middle of the road, and dozens of people in the family rely on the two brothers to support themselves." ”

"Engong's move is even the way of filial piety, and my wife will definitely not make fun of Engong."

Ma Yue smiled silently when he heard this, and rode his horse to guard the car, and the four horses and two carriages galloped towards Zhangshan Village before night.

In the car, the handsome lady pulled Pei's sleeve and whispered: "Auntie, could he be an impostor?" ”
