When it finally started, the stopped car once again rattled and vibrated forward with the sound of horses' hooves.

Ma Siyun, who was clinging to the small dark space with only a few gaps of light, also let go of the short blade in his hand again, and then felt that several wounds on his body that had been bandaged were throbbing and slowly soaking again.

Among them, the knife wound on the shoulder, which was left by the dying and struggling opponent when he pretended to be a drinker in a liquor shop, risked his life to break into the crowd of followers, and stabbed to death a big leader of grass thieves; The arrow wound located under the ribs was the result of a salvo shot by the grass thief archers when he was covering several other companions and touching the private house that the grass thief high-level wanted to kill.

Of course, for him, who was once accustomed to being in the company of corpses and dead people, these narrow and limited difficulties and physical torments were nothing at all.

He was originally just a slave in the Li clan, a local clan in Yangzhou, who only knew his mother but didn't know his father, and the evil seed left behind after many cheating and wild marriages should have been driven out of the house to fend for himself very early; Because of the birth of some different appearances, he was picked by the upcoming Li Gongjia, and began to practice martial arts and weapons as a child.

And then among a group of peers with similar backgrounds, he stood out with an outstanding performance that was fierce and ruthless enough for himself and others, and he followed the family surnamed Ma and cultivated him as an apprentice; Because since childhood, he has been instilled with the belief of "loyalty" that there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and he will not hesitate to sacrifice his life for the safety of the main family.

Therefore, from the age of fifteen when he personally killed the first tenant who resisted rent and escaped, he began to use it to fight the opponents of the Li clan and cut off dissidents, and with a resolute style that left no room for it, he quickly overwhelmed those old men and was sent to Li Gong's side.

At least in his eyes, whether it is a peddler or a pawn or a nobleman, whether it is a noble and lowly person, it is actually no different from a pig or sheep to be slaughtered; As long as the throat is cut or the hands and feet are cut off, they will bleed, they will scream, they will cry and plead, they will beg for mercy, and even the excrement and urine will become filthy...

In the end, after killing a businessman who was in the way, he was also appreciated and personally praised by the lord Li Gong, who thought that his original names of Ma Yun and Ma Ah Da were not good, and gave him an extra word; On a whim, he let his maid Jiuqiu complete the enlightenment of a man for him, and for the first time he experienced the taste of women and the beauty of it, which is also the great kindness that he has never forgotten.

Although he was ordered to strangle and dismember this maid who had tasted it with his own hands for the reason of leaking the secrets of the master's family shortly afterwards, and brought Jiuqiu's dead head back to restore his life, he realized that there was no leak and escape, it was just a qualified test of whether he was loyal and reliable.

Therefore, now their ultimate goal is to avenge the dead Li Zhaogong and Li Yuanjun, and wait for the opportunity to sneak into Guangzhou City to prepare to assassinate Huang Yi, the head of the grass thieves; It can also be said that he has already arranged everything for the future and does not hesitate to give up everything.

According to the statements and evaluations of those adults, in this filthy world, the Li envoy he served was one of the few Qingliu among the vassals of the imperial court, and he was also an elegant person with a reputation in the literary world.

In order to protect the situation outside the mountain in danger, he really tried his best and did not hesitate to deal with the grass thief Huang Zhixu to deal with the snake, but he only hated that the princes of the dynasty did not know the painstaking intentions and issued an edict to reprimand, and the result was that the officials and troops that had been operated by Guangfu for decades were all lost and fell into the head of the thieves. Even the most important wealth outside the mountains, the hub of sea and land transshipment and the largest treaty port in the South China Sea, fell into the control of grass thieves

Therefore, as those who had received the grace of Li Gong, they gathered here one after another, in order to meet with those good and righteous people who are still sincere in the country, to obtain the assistance and support of people from these places, to learn from the generous and magnificent stories of Jing Ke Nie Zheng in ancient times, so that these lowly and shameless grass thieves know what is called the wrath of a blood-spattered horseman.

Although those grass thieves occupy the places that can be seen on the name of Guangzhou City, in the dark corners where the sun does not shine and in the underground world that the government cannot govern, they are still operating according to the inertia and rules of a certain tradition and trying to adapt to the series of changes in the latest situation.

Therefore, just by relying on the name of the imperial court and the righteousness of the country, he can easily gain collaborators and internal responses in the strength to make a living and profit in those gray areas, and even directly avoid the ears and eyes and interrogation of many grass thief garrisons, and send many instruments and materials from underground channels.

In addition, among the low-level officials, officials, and white officials who were forced to serve the grass thieves, there were many people who were loyal and willing to report to the imperial court.

Therefore, the actions and concealment of these righteous men in the city were greatly convenient and advantageous; In addition to the fact that their range of activities is smaller, they live quite comfortably and comfortably; Not only are there all kinds of delicious food and drink waiting for them, but there are even women with good qualifications who bring them over to continue the bloodline of righteous men for them to enjoy.

In the end, under the influence of many factors such as the right time and place, these people who decided to die were very successful several times, but they were never able to catch the whereabouts of the thief leader Huang Yi, but instead alarmed the whole city of the grass thief Dasuo, and then the action became difficult and laborious; In the end, they had to move their hiding places several times in succession before they settled down in this place that no one could have imagined to recuperate.

Now, apparently, they had finally been able to get out of danger for a while; After several death-and-death escapes, and enjoying the benefits of those women, his determination to be a dead soldier was no longer so firm and strong; In other words, he just thinks that if he can live for a while, he may be able to enjoy and appreciate more benefits.

Of course, Ma Siyun also basically understands one thing, at least those people behind the scenes must not let them fall into the hands of those grass thieves, otherwise it will involve a lot, and it will be difficult for many "people with hearts" who are under the flame of thieves to be good to the court.

It's just that there are always all kinds of trivial matters and small accidents along the way, so that the transportation team for the purpose of going to the city has never been able to get up quickly.

After the mud-laden dirt road had gradually turned into a gravel road in the street, and from a gravel road to a stone floor near the city gate, the cart on which he was suddenly stopped, and then, listening to the sound of calling one after another, and the faint smell of wheat rice, the soldiers and men who were escorting them were called up to eat; It's really unlucky, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how long will these lazy bones be delayed on this little journey.

Grass thieves are grass thieves, and they can't even do this well, or they are really slack; If it is placed under the management of the Li family, a big family in Yangzhou, I am afraid that eating a whip is a trivial matter, and it will really delay the work of the main family and affect the mood of the steward.

No wonder no matter how big they are in the whole city, they can only let themselves recuperate freely under their noses, and they can also swagger out from time to time to let out the wind and watch; No, he suddenly felt that something was disobedient and inappropriate;

It's like when he ganged up to pretend to be a river thief and went to the river boat to kill a certain Cao Yun official who didn't know what to do, but was ambushed in the cabin and blocked the siege, only when he was a step late and fell into the water with an arrow, and almost dried up the blood, he climbed ashore to report to the master's house with a dying breath, which is very similar.

There is too much noise from eating out, it's too neat, why is there a faint fishy smell and a suspicious muffled hum? If it were someone else, he might have ignored the past, but as an assassin known as a dog's nose, he could still tell the difference between an old wound that had solidified and a fresh bloodstream.

He couldn't help but feel a little self-blame and remorse, but he ignored it because he was injured, as the most basic vigilance and sensitivity of the dead soldiers of his family, are you still the famous "ghost also worried" of the Li family.

Therefore, when he jumped out of the chassis of the crashed cart, the first thing he saw was the pike dart and spear tips that had been inserted into the side of several other carts, as well as a large cloud of blood flowing from under the car.

He bent over with his sword to hide some of the unlit continuity, and stood on the ground paved with stone and gray bricks, only to find himself in an old military camp, surrounded by grass thieves with licensed spears like walls, and the cluster of shining arrows behind the crowd was also so conspicuous.

And those people and guards who were eating were just holding dishes and chopsticks on the edge of the rice bowl not far away, pretending to be like one; After seeing the appearance, he quickly retreated behind the long wall of various shields.

And in the end, the only ones who could stand with the lonely Ma Siyun were the two companions outside the ridge who had escaped death in the cart, and they leaned against each other like this, and burst out with desperate screams and ferocity against the grass thieves who were slowly holding spears to push the row to tighten and oppress.
