Chapter Ninety-Eight: Cui Hao's Tomb
Wu Song glanced at Ma Kui and said, "Where, I was just forced by him just now and deceived him!" The treasure map of "Situ's Testament" must still be on him! β
"You. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.infoγγγγγ When Ma Kui heard Wu Song openly say that he was lying to himself, although he had expected it, he couldn't help but be ashamed and angry.
Wu Song ignored him and further told Zhao Er: "Ma Kui sneaked here to dig people's graves, presumably according to the treasure map, he found the place where the "Situ Testament" was really buried!" β
This, in fact, there is no need for Wu Song to say, Zhao Er can already think of it naturally.
Zhao Er and Fang Jinzhi snatched the treasure map before, but they were taken away by Ma Kui, and then Empress Jiang also participated in the robbery with a mask, and a fourth masked man with martial arts far higher than them appeared, but in the end, the treasure map was still snatched by Ma Kui. Therefore, Wu Song said that the treasure map was on Ma Kui, and he naturally believed it.
Thinking that the treasure map was already in his hands that day, but it was taken away by Ma Kui, Zhao Er felt angry, which was why he refused to let go of Ma Kui even if he offended Tong Guan.
When he saw that there were still a few villagers who had fallen to the scene, and there were still a few hoes and shovels thrown on the ground, and the one Wu Song was holding as a weapon was actually a hoe, and he immediately guessed that the treasure location pointed out in the original treasure map was in the place where the new tomb of the tailor Pan was buried.
In other words, the long-lost tomb of Cui Hao is actually under the new tomb of Tailor Pan. However, due to the fact that the tomb was buried deep and had been old for a long time, few people knew about it before, so it was no coincidence that the new tomb of Tailor Pan happened to fall above Cui Hao's tomb, almost a grave on top of each other, which was the reason why Ma Kui would instruct the villagers to dig up Tailor Pan's grave.
Zhao Er immediately ordered: "Ma Kui, Jiang Hou, Deng Fei, Yang Lin, the four of you will dig for me immediately!" Wu Song, you supervise me on the side! β
Ma Kui was furious when he heard this. Before, he went to great lengths to find a few villagers to dig graves, but he was proud of his status as a five-grade official and was unwilling to do such a lowly thing himself. Unexpectedly, Zhao Er, who is now in a lower position than him, actually ordered him to do it, which was another humiliation to him.
He shouted angrily at Zhao Er: "Zhao Er, do you really dare not take this official in your eyes? β
Zhao Er knew that Cai Jing and Tong Guan both wanted to get the "Situ Testament", and they fought openly and secretly, he wanted to please Cai Jing, and to avoid offending Tong Guan, he was bound to kill Ma Kui and let Tong Guan die without proof. Since he had the intention of killing Ma Kui, he naturally would no longer be polite to him, and sneered: "Ma Kui, at this time, you are just a small secret of the Qinghe County Yamen, and in front of this envoy, you dare to call yourself an official!" If you know each other, you will obediently obey the order! β
Ma Kui was furious, and suddenly waved his hands, only to see two snow rays of light swept up, and two flying knives shot at Zhao Er.
Since Ma Kui has been disguising himself and hiding his true skills, Zhao Er doesn't know how powerful his martial arts are. But he had already fought with Ma Kui before, so he naturally knew that Ma Kui's flying knives were powerful, and he had already taken precautions, and he narrowly avoided two flying knives with a jump.
At the same time, without his order, the sharp arrows around him immediately rained down on Ma Kui.
These archers were clearly prepared, and not all of them fired their arrows together, but one soldier every two soldiers.
In this way, after the first round of soldiers finished shooting arrows, the second and third rounds of soldiers still pointed sharp arrows at Ma Kui and others. If necessary, when the second round of soldiers releases their arrows, the first round of soldiers can take the opportunity to reload their arrows, and when the third round of soldiers release their arrows, the second round of soldiers can reload their arrows. This ensures that there are always arrows to shoot.
Deng Fei and Yang Lin also wanted to take advantage of Ma Kui's attack to rush out of the encirclement with sharp arrows, but when they saw this situation, they didn't dare to move. And Wu Song was concerned about Pan Jinlian's safety, and he did not act rashly, and first saw how Ma Kui responded.
Ma Kui's skills are really good. Sharp arrows were fired from all sides, and he brandished a pair of short knives, and actually knocked down and cut off one sharp arrow after another.
However, these arrows were fired too close and dense after all. He tried desperately to block it, but he couldn't help but snort, and was shot through his left shoulder by an arrow.
He had no choice but to give up reluctantly and continue to resist. Otherwise, the second round of arrows will come, and he will definitely be shot into a hedgehog.
"Quack, quack!" Zhao Er laughed wildly and said, "Ma Kui, if you want to die immediately, just try to move again!" β
Ma Kui, of course, didn't want to die right away. In his heart, he thought that the task given to him by Tong Guan had not yet been completed, and at the same time, Pan Jinlian was by his side. Despite his exasperation, he had no choice but to give up and continue to resist.
Deng Fei and Yang Lin, as future heroes of Liangshan, were originally bold and daring people. However, at this time, as rangers in the rivers and lakes, they will not easily turn their faces with the government, just like the general society in later generations will still give the police some face. What's more, at this time, they are surrounded by sharp arrows, and they can only be heroes who do not suffer immediate losses, and can bend and stretch.
Moreover, they really wanted to know what the treasure buried in the ground looked like.
So, together with Ma Kui, they picked up hoes and shovels and prepared to dig graves.
Pan Jinlian exclaimed, and Wu Song hurriedly stopped: "This Uncle Pan has just entered the ground, and his grave can't be dug!" β
Deng Fei and Yang Lin looked at Zhao Er. Zhao Er said: "Wu Song, this tomb has just been buried, and the soil is still soft, wouldn't it be much easier to dig from here?" β
Wu Song said: "Lord Zhao, this tomb is the tomb of the father of the little lady of the Pan family behind me, and the little lady of the Pan family can also be regarded as my relative, please give me some thin noodles!" β
Zhao Er was very eager to find Cui Hao's tomb as soon as possible, but seeing Pan Jinlian's graceful figure, he said in his heart that this is a great beauty, and he can't be offended, and he was hesitating, Ma Kui had already dug up about two feet away from Pan's tailor's tomb. Obviously, he cared a lot about Pan Jinlian's feelings.
Ma Kui had an arrow wound on his shoulder, but his heart hurt more than his shoulder. Originally, as Tong Guan's secret agent, he was an official from Wupin, and his position was originally higher than Xu En, the magistrate of Qinghe County, but he was willing to be a small secret without grade and without stream in the yamen of Qinghe County for a long time. Now, he is even more forced to do the work of digging graves and digging graves.
However, he has endured it for so long, does it lie in enduring it a little longer?
Ma Kui's martial arts are strong, Deng Fei, Yang Lin and Jiang Hou, although they are far inferior to Ma Kui, they can also be called masters. However, this does not mean that they are also good at using hoes and shovels. In the beginning, they couldn't even dig as fast as a few rural farmers.
The appearance of a martial arts master wielding a hoe and an iron shovel is also very embarrassing.
Wu Song and Pan Jinlian were on the side, watching them dig graves, but they were spared this suffering.
