Chapter 159: The Yuan Army is a spy
Ma Yue's face changed from a smile to a fierce color, it was only a matter of a moment, he paused the cup in his hand heavily, and the wooden table made a bang.
The daggers that the three people behind Zhao Rui pulled out out of nowhere and stabbed at the two of them.
Arjuna had already taken precautions, blocked the attack of the three with one long leg, and then used a dazzling leg technique to knock the three of them to the ground with a blue nose and swollen face.
From beginning to end, Zhao Rui didn't move.
At this time, Ma Yue's face changed a little, and he no longer looked like he had won before.
"Some skills......"
Ma Yue was surprised but not panicked, he slowly stretched his arm, and a small bow and crossbow was shown from under the table, Arjuna was stunned, and he didn't dare to act rashly at this time, after all, such a close crossbow arrow pierced was likely to be seriously injured.
The corners of Ma Yue's mouth turned up, and he said proudly: "You two little thieves, you want to dig money from me, and you don't ask who I am?" ”
Zhao Rui was not half nervous, raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't say it, we are really confused, now I can't figure out whether you are a Taoist priest or a thief?" ”
"You!"
Ma Yue's eyes were stunned, his eyes revealed murderous intentions, and he said hatefully: "It turns out that you are not improvised thieves!" Say! Who sent you? ”
Zhao Rui also understood a little at this time, it must be that Song Fengyi heard the rumors many years ago, and now people have long been whitewashed, and they rely on spells that pretend to be ghosts to make money, and now they expose his old bottom by themselves, which is no different from smashing his job.
Moreover, he has been a thief for many years, and there must be a lot of enemies outside, and now he may think that he is the person sent by the enemy to seek revenge.
"Ma Zhenren, you misunderstood, in fact, we are really walking together, I see that your spell of praying for rain does not seem to be very bright, are you going to practice it until the day of the rain? So, how about I help you with the rain? ”
Zhao Rui took a cheerful tone, which made Ma Yue very angry!
"Enough! Wait until you go to hell and then help! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger all at once!
Arjuna kept looking at his fingers, but how could something like a bow and crossbow be guarded, her heart was shocked, and the secret path was in danger!
Zhao Rui's smile remained unchanged, his palm grasped lightly, and a short and sharp arrow appeared in his hand out of thin air.
"You...... How can it be! ”
Only then did Ma Yue know that he had met a master, and the bow and crossbow suddenly turned over and fell to the ground, and he stood up and retreated desperately, even with a stool and fell to the ground with a bang.
Even if Ma Yue had his back against a solid wall, he couldn't alleviate the fear in his heart.
The person in front of him is definitely a master among masters!
Arjuna is not much better, she knows that Zhao Rui's martial arts are strong, but she doesn't know that he has reached such a high level, such a reaction speed and strength will only be circulated in the mouth of the storyteller!
But in the next second, the surprised mouths of the two could no longer close.
Zhao Rui drew a talisman out of thin air, and then, lightning and thunder thundered in the palm of his right palm, and a thunderball the size of a fist suddenly appeared in his hand!
"See, I'm more than capable of helping you ask for rain."
While speaking, Zhao Rui slammed into the sky outside the window, and it was really a thunder on the ground, and the thunderstorm echoed, and bursts of thunder came out.
The people outside looked up at the sky with joy.
It must be Ma Zhenren's spell that works, it's going to rain!
But everyone looked up at the sky for a long time, and not a drop of rain fell, which disappointed them greatly, but they were all fans of Ma Yue, and they had already exonerated Ma Zhenren in their hearts, it must be Ma Zhenren's mana, so that the rain clouds in the sky began to converge, it must be like this!
Ma Yue's mouth began to drool unconsciously, and he couldn't imagine that he pretended to be a fairy on weekdays, but he attracted a real immortal.
In fact, Ma Yue pretending to be a Taoist chief is not completely unreasonable, he has been yearning for the legendary Taoist powers since he was a child, but as he grew older, he realized that legends are legends after all, and those Taoist methods that can be called out are even more mirrorful.
But now a person with true supernatural powers, or an immortal, is in front of him, Ma Yue has the idea of bowing his head in his heart, but after many years of swords and swords in the rivers and lakes, he understands that things will not be as simple as they seem.
"What do you want?"
Zhao Rui saw that he regained his composure faster than Arjuna, and couldn't help but praise him in his heart.
didn't say it directly, Zhao Rui instead began to introduce himself: "My name is Zhao Rui, a person who offended the court and was named the prince, Yongping Village is my fiefdom, and I have laid down several cities in Jiaozhi at present......"
Ma Yue's mind is turning, what does a prince who is sealed on the southwest border need?
Population, soldiers, gold, silver, and food are all he needs, and if he still has ambitions, then he will only want more!
"The villain Ma Yue, see the prince, I am willing to do things under the prince's account in the future, let me be sent, and there will be no complaints!"
Ma Yue is a very realistic person, he knows the inevitability of big fish eating small fish, and the prince needs to have some of it now, since he can't compete in strength, he must be soft. However, if this prince can really achieve a career, it can be regarded as a shortcut to follow him, and it is not a grievance.
"Those who know the times are Junjie, yes, I didn't see the wrong person!" Zhao Rui said with a smile: "It's just that now you'd better be your real person, as for asking for rain, I will help you!" ”
Hearing this, Ma Yue was even more shocked, the thunder in his palms was amazing enough, could it be that Zhao Rui was really capable of communicating with God?
Zhao Rui also has a preliminary plan at this time, since Ma Yue is a god stick for hundreds of miles around here, then let him continue well, on the one hand, he can use this to collect money and accept the people, on the other hand, when the war spreads, Zhao Rui can justifiably take Guangyuan Prefecture and Longzhou.
At present, Guangyuan Prefecture is too big, Zhao Rui's troops are tight, and Longzhou belongs to the Southern Song Dynasty, and the prince snatches the emperor's territory, which is too ugly and will occupy a disadvantage in public opinion.
With Ma Yue's refuge, Zhao Rui and Arjuna naturally lived in the inn under the charter, where there were many rooms, and the two of them chose the room they liked at will.
Late at night, Zhao Rui lay in bed thinking about gains and losses, sometimes it may not be a good thing to be too shrewd, although Ma Yue is taking refuge, but Zhao Rui understands that for this kind of person, it is necessary to fully show his strength, otherwise, no matter who it is, he will be regarded as a stepping stone in the ascending channel.
The ritual of praying for rain was held as scheduled the next day, Ma Yue ascended the altar with a sword, and his facial expressions all carried the feeling of being a master, Zhao Rui felt that if he lived in the next generation, he must be a male movie star like the acting school.
Ma Yue's prayer for rain was long and cumbersome, and Zhao Rui thought that he was begging for rain for him at the end, but he didn't expect to encounter an accident halfway.
A few people dressed as Song people, standing under the altar, shouted at Ma Gao: "Liar, come down quickly, you have been doing Dharma for a few days in a row, and it has not rained, what face do you have to pretend on it!" ”
"That is, if you want to say that you have to count the shamans of the Yuan Dynasty for the benefit of rain, the Taoist priests of the Southern Dynasty will only pretend to be gods and ghosts!"
Ma Yue's status here is very high, and the unfounded words of several people were immediately dissatisfied with the people.
Seeing that the people were emotional, several people hurriedly said: "Don't blindly believe him!" My fields are dead, the well is dry, and it is about to reach the point of death, but it is really a big stupid thing for you to ask him to do the rain prayer ritual, we have heard that this Ma Zhenren used to be just a bandit leader, how could he do the rain prayer ritual! If you want me to say, you have to ask the shaman in the north to ask for rain in order to save the people in Guangyuan Prefecture! ”
Everyone listened to what he said, and they couldn't help but ponder, especially the matter of the bandit leader was really not the first time they had heard it, but the big guys thought it was a false rumor and didn't take it seriously.
However, after a few days of doing the rituals, it did not rain a drop of rain.
If Ma Zhenren is put in the position of the leader of the bandits, then all this is explained, maybe he Ma Zhenren is just a complete liar.
These words greatly shook people's hearts, and even the officials in Jiaozhi were puzzled, and they couldn't stop looking at Ma Yue above.
Some people question it is inevitable, Zhao Rui just calmly observed these people who stirred up trouble, looking at their skin and appearance, where do they look like weathered farmers?
In Zhao Rui's view, they are very likely to be transported from the north to the south, similar to "spies", who infiltrate the people, constantly boasting about the benefits of the Yuan Dynasty, and want to disintegrate the idea of resisting the Yuan army within the people.
They also vigorously spread shamanism and promoted the belief in "Changshengtian", which was the greatest god and supreme power, which was given by Changshengtian to a leader on earth, which was to clarify the correctness and inevitability of the Yuan Dynasty's rule.
At this time, the people were very easy to be incited, and some people on the spot felt puzzled, thinking that they had been deceived by Ma Yue, and shouted at the altar with a few Song people.
The ritual was disturbed, and Ma Yue could only get down from the altar first, thinking that if it could still rain now, he would have the strongest convincing power, otherwise, all other justifications would be like a lame trick.
Now that Zhao Rui and Ma are grasshoppers on the same line, the more frustrated Ma is, and he looks at Zhao Rui for the first time.
Smart people often solve problems with a single glance.
Looking at Ma Yue's slightly anxious expression, he knew that he was worried about the rain.
So Zhao Rui nodded at him steadily, the more relieved he was this time, the prince was not a mortal, and the matter of rain was naturally solved by him, and the few people below who were talking nonsense couldn't let go, otherwise Ma Yue really didn't have to mix anymore.
"The spies of the Yuan army!"
Ma Yue approached, and there was a Jiaozhi official standing next to him, and he buttoned up a big hat to a few people opposite.
"The Tartars of the Yuan Dynasty were cruel and murderous, how many killings and how many unjust souls they have created over the years? How can you help them preach the benefits of shamanism, haven't your family and friends been harmed by the Tartars? ”
