Chapter 42: A Coincidental Encounter

Liu Qi led the army to chase after him, turned a ramp, and suddenly erected a big flag in front, Wen Da and a horse in front, watching Ma Kuo and Yue Yang come with men and horses from a distance, waved the big knife in his hand, and shouted: "Get out of the way left and right!" ”

Ma Kuo and Yue Yang heard the shout, and each took the men and horses of the headquarters to run away to the sides, but did not attack Wenda's big array, Wenda looked at Liu Qi's men and horses on the opposite side, pointed forward with a big knife, and shouted: "Release the arrow!" Countless arrows rained down on Liu Qi's men and horses.

Liu Qiwan didn't expect that there was an ambush here, so he was so anxious that he shouted: "Hold this formation, hold this formation!" At this time, Ma Kuo and Yue Yang led the cavalry to rotate and turn back, and rushed into the formation of the official army, just cut and kill, Liu Qi's soldiers and horses were unwilling to fight, this will see that the situation is not right, so they scattered and fled, Liu Qiwan did not expect that he had many soldiers, but he would be scattered by the other party, so anxious that he scolded, waved his knife and beheaded two escapees, shouting: "If there are any retreaters, they will all be beheaded!" "But it was still difficult to hold the rout down.

Wenda also rushed up with men and horses, and when he met Bu Qiang, the two horses fought, but as soon as he was together, he beheaded him under the horse, and he saw that it was not his head, so he kept Liu Qi, rushed out of the remnants of the army, and went to Neihuang County.

Wenda, Ma Kuo, and Yue Yang were the three generals who covered up for a while, and they didn't dare to chase them seriously, but they were afraid that Liu Qi would come back with the men and horses, so they found a place to camp outside Neihuang County.

The camp was settled, and Ma Kuo looked around to find Zhao Zhen and couldn't help but be anxious, so he came to find Wen Da and shouted: "Wen Commander, where is the king?" ”

Wenda said with a confused face: "Isn't it in the army?" ”

Ma Kuoqing knew that it was not good, so he couldn't help but get angry and scolded: "Wenda! What a brain you have! Don't you know that the king is lost? ”

Wenda couldn't help but panic, this will Yue Yang also come over, although he didn't completely regard Zhao Zhen as his lord, but he didn't lose the reason of the boss, and hurriedly said: "Quickly let the three armies gather, there will always be someone to see the king." ”

When the three armies gathered, they interrogated all the way, and they didn't have some eyebrows until they asked a small army of grain and grass in the rear army.

"The villain saw two women and a child, following behind the horses, and the king fell behind in order to wait for them."

Wenda roared angrily and shouted, "Then why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

Xiao Jun was so frightened that he softened, his mouth moved a few times, and he couldn't say a word, Ma Kuo said coldly: "Okay!" I can't blame him at this time, you and I, as generals, actually lost the boss, no matter where we talk about it, it's a damn crime! Now I have to send someone to find it. ”

Wen Da gritted a pair of steel teeth, and said hatefully: "When the king is found, Wen Da will apologize for his crimes!" ”

Ma Kuo was not in the mood to hear that Da Fa was ruthless, so he called the small army and said, "Do you remember where you lost the king?" Don't worry, as long as you take me to the king, I won't cure you of your crimes, and I will reward you. ”

The little army thought for a moment and said, "There is a slight impression. So Ma Kuo brought the cavalry, left Wenda Zhenjun, and let Yue Yang look at Wenda.

Ma Kuo secretly said to Yue Yang: "You don't listen to military orders, you march privately, and you don't win, you can't be guilty, that Wenda is also guilty of a capital crime, if you can't look at him, then you are also a capital crime!" ”

Yue Yang was aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say more, so he said: "General Ma just go, the young general knows." After a period of defeat, he became much more honest, and that arrogance was gone.

Ma Kuo took the cavalry to look back, the small army walked in front, all the way to identify, it didn't look like he had lost Zhao Zhen's position, Ma Kuo suppressed his anger and soothed with good words, but the small army was more and more afraid, and he couldn't say it clearly.

Ma Kuo couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to curse angrily, when a sergeant Pegasus ran back and shouted, "General, we saw blood on the side of the road!" ”

Ma Kuo's face changed greatly, and he couldn't care about the little army anymore, so he got off the horse, looked for the way, and sure enough, the ground was dotted with blood, and a small army came over to sniff and said: "This is the blood of the beast, the villain has hunted before, and can distinguish this blood." ”

Ma Kuo thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that the king has encountered a beast, but they follow this blood to find it." ”

Ma Kuo searched all the way, turned around for a while, and arrived in front of a dirt mountain, but he didn't know, Xiahou became a careful person, and he was an experienced hunter, so he had already dealt with the blood stains here, Ma Kuo would only see a little clue is a life-saving straw, and he went to the hill with people and horses, only halfway up, he saw a lonely small temple on the mountain, there were more than a dozen big men sitting outside the temple, and there were Jiangzhou cars around him. One of the first, with a large sword, came forward and cried out, "Who are you?" ”

Ma Kuo urged Ma over and said loudly: "Let me ask you, have you ever seen a man wearing soft armor with two women and a child?" ”

The corner of the big man's eyes showed a trace of disdain, and he said coldly: "Lao Tzu is here to sell grain in the Daimyo's Mansion, and you don't have to find men and women." ”

Ma Kuo sneered, pointed to the Jiangzhou car, and said, "Judging from the indentation of your car, it is not food." ”

Dahan looked at Ma Kuo strangely and said: "Looking at your background, you don't look like a person in the green forest, you are not bad at this ability to see the way of the law." ”

Ma Kuo jumped off the horse and walked towards a Jiangzhou car, people approached, suddenly stretched out his hand, five fingers like a hook to the Jiangzhou car grabbed, a man watching the car reached out to stop, the big man with the knife turned over his hand, with the back of the knife to hold his hand down, said; "Let him see, even if he can see some doorways?"

Ma Kuo's hand stopped in mid-air, glanced at the big man, and said, "I won't ruin your business, you just hand over the people I want to win to me, and I will naturally let you go." ”

"No is nothing!" The big man said viciously: "When you want to ask again, it's the same thing!" ”

Ma Kuo was furious and said sharply: "In that case, then leave these cars for me!" As he spoke, his five fingers fell off, and five deep holes were inserted into his pocket, and then he tore downward, and the pocket was torn in half, and inside was a man who was bound by limbs and gagged.

"Rat, you are clearly a human trafficker, do you dare to deny the person who arrested me?"

"Lao Tzu is here to catch people who should be caught, what the fuck is a shitty trafficker!" Dahan sneered: "It's not like you, the big turbans of the imperial court, who have sold all your monarch fathers!" ”

Ma Kuo will be in a hurry, where to tell what the big man said, with long hands, he pulled out a pair of old gentlemen from behind his back, and without saying a word, he slashed towards the big man.

Dahan scolded angrily, the horizontal knife was separated, and the double run was split on the knife shaft, and with a bang, Dahan was shocked and retreated, and couldn't help but praise: "It's not a rice bucket!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and slashed at Ma Kuo, Ma Kuo ran left and right, and slashed straight into the arms of the big man, and the two fought together.

Ma Kuo was anxious about Zhao Zhen's whereabouts, and he danced away, sweeping towards the big man like a meteor catching the moon, the big man could still block it first, and after the fifteenth and sixth days, he was already powerless to deal with it, and he couldn't stop the scolding in a hurry, but he still couldn't stop Ma Kuo's attack, and in a fit of anger, the big man shouted to those subordinates: "Are you stupid?" Not moving forward yet! His men shouted and rushed forward, but just as they stepped forward, the feathered arrows flew vertically, and seven or eight people were shot to the ground first, but it was Ma Kuo's subordinates who put the arrows, and those men saw that the white feathers were on the strings, so they pointed to their chests, and the hands holding the big knives couldn't help but relax.

Ma Kuo grabbed a step forward at this time, kicked on the stomach of the big man, the big man lost the knife and rolled out directly, Ma Kuo followed forward, and ran towards his head, the big man exclaimed, his hands were raised in front of the head cross a square, he wore a pair of pure iron bracers on his wrists, Ma Kuo's running mouth was cut on his wrist, straight to the spark flying, jumping vertically, but the big man finally escaped, only to get up, Ma Kuo shouted; "Don't move!" After saying that, the other Ben pressed over, pressed on the head of the big man, gritted his teeth and said, "Move again, I will kill you!" ”

The big man gritted his teeth and glared at Ma Kuo, lying on the ground, and said coldly: "If you have the ability, you will kill Lao Tzu!" ”

Ma Kuo snorted coldly and said, "This official doesn't have the time to be as knowledgeable as you, you let your people retreat for me, I will find the people I want, and naturally let you leave." ”

Dahan stared at Ma Kuo but didn't speak, Ma Kuo turned his head and said sharply to Dahan's subordinates: "Don't retreat yet!" The Han's subordinates stood still at first, and the rush in Ma Kuo's hand pressed hard, and the blade cut the big man's scalp and broke it, and the blood flowed like an infusion, and the Han's subordinates had to retreat, Ma Kuo said in a deep voice: "Go and open the sacks on those cars for me!" ”

More than a dozen sergeants had already dismounted, and they went over to cut all the sacks on the Jiangzhou car, and on the more than a dozen Jiangzhou cars, a total of more than 30 bags were all cut, and the men in them were all men.

Ma Kuo couldn't help but be stunned, and slowly put away his double run, Dahan turned over and jumped up, staring at Ma Kuo, Ma Kuo put away Shuangben, and arched his hand to Dahan: "Ma Kuo, a subordinate officer under Zhao Zhen, the envoy of the North Road of the Lower Song River, and the king of letters, who is your Excellency?" ”

Dahan looked at Ma Kuo with some surprise and said, "Are you the subordinate of King Xin who killed Zong Yan Xiyin?" Ma Kuo smiled and said, "It is the king of my family." ”

"A certain family in Fulong Mountain, Zhouzhou" Splitting the mountain Lux 'Gong Gong, originally Hebei recruited Zhang so that Zhang Lao Marshal Zhang's subordinates went to the countryside to teach the head, Zhang Lao Marshal was degraded to the south because of Hebei's loss, and I was also dismissed by the new marshal to go home, but those Jurchen Tartars invaded all the way south, burned and killed and plundered, Lao Tzu really couldn't see it, so he and these cronies and brothers went around to kill these Jurchen Tartars, a few days ago I heard that the king of Xin went south, Xiao Ke deliberately arrested a few Jurchen Tartar businessmen, and planned to send them to the king of the letter to make a meeting gift, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Ma here. ”

After Qi Gong finished speaking, he said to Ma Kuo: "General Ma, I don't know who you are looking for?" ”

Ma Kuo sighed for a long time, and said that Zhao Zhen had lost Zhao Zhen in the midnight march, and then said: "I saw that Brother Qi's car was full of people just now, so I thought that King Xin was arrested by Your Excellency, and this is the ...... Please forgive me for the offense. ”

Qi Gong didn't take Ma Kuo's words to heart, but said: "General Ma has been looking for it all the way, have you ever looked for it in Qili Village under Tushan?" ”

Ma Kuo shook his head and said, "No, we saw blood stains on the way, so we followed the blood stains." ”

Qi Gong patted his thigh and said: "General Ma doesn't know, in the Qili Village under the mountain, a strong man came a year ago, surnamed Xiahou, a single name is a word, this is the general of Jiangnan La, after Fang La's defeat, they were a group of more than a dozen heroes who followed Fang La, all the way to Tokyo, wanted to rob Fang La's back, after the failure, he was exiled in Hebei, this Xiahou Cheng recruited a son-in-law here, this person hates the official family, if he knows the identity of King Xin, I am afraid that it is ....... ”

Ma Kuo didn't want to say much, turned around and left, and shouted at the same time: "Brother don't blame the faux pas, Xiao Ke went down the mountain first." ”

Qi Gong hurriedly shouted to his subordinates: "Chop off the heads of those Jurchen Tartars for me, and follow General Ma down the mountain together!" His subordinates went up to do it, and more than 30 Jurchen merchants were cut off their heads, and Qi Gong untied his arms, wrapped up the wounds on his head indiscriminately, and took his subordinates, and the Jiangzhou car was gone, so he came down the mountain.
