Chapter 1: Fleeing for Your Life

Liaodong, Yongning coastal left near.
The lush grass and trees are like a green carpet, covering the land of Liaodong in summer. In the green grass all over the mountains, flowers are growing.
The shrubs and weeds are undulating and swaying like waves in the sea breeze. The cool sea breeze caresses the body like a fan, and everything is refreshing.
"Drive!" The sweaty horse flung the whip and fled in panic. At this time, Ma Ju's heart was beating very hard, and the sound of the wind was whirring in his ears, and the cool breeze around him had almost nothing to do with him. Nima! As long as you know his current situation, no one will be in the mood to see any bird scenery, this is not a weekend outing!
For just two miles behind him, more than twenty hideous-looking Jiannu armor soldiers, led by a Bashi Kuba Yala named Tachlan, were chasing after him endlessly, eager to catch him and break his body into pieces.
For no other reason, this group of Jiannu soldiers followed Tachlan today and went to a place called Majiazhuang in the south of Yongning to loot and burn. When they came out happily carrying large bags of looted gold and silver belongings, they found that the only son of Tachlan, who was guarding the horse, had been hit by an arrow in the neck, and his stomach was cut open, and he was dead!
"Master, I lost two horses, and this Han dog who killed the young master (Note .1) must have fled to the south!" One of the armored soldiers counted the horses and hurriedly reported.
"Go after the master! Catch it alive! Lao Tzu wants to catch this Han dog with a thousand cuts! Tuclan caressed his son's still warm face and yelled in disgust.
After chasing eight or nine miles south with no horsepower, they finally saw the figure of a fleeing Han man. This man was riding the big black horse of Tachlan, and he was also leading the red horse of Tachlan's only son, and he was desperately fleeing south.
The Han man who escaped was none other than Ma Ju, who shot Tachlan's fourteen-year-old only son. He went into the mountains early this morning to hunt, but when he returned to the village, he found that Zhuangzi was full of fire. Countless times, he wanted to rush in and fight with these unconscionable slave soldiers, because he knew that these slave soldiers must be killing people and setting fires, even women, children and the elderly.
But when he saw the dozens of horses outside the Zhuangzi Gate, he was discouraged, because judging from the number of horses, there must have been a lot of people in this group of Jiannu. Although he had also practiced martial arts, and the bows and crossbows he made were particularly sophisticated, and he could be regarded as a marksman in seven miles and eight towns, he still did not dare to arrogantly think that he could fight dozens of battle-hardened Jiannu armor soldiers.
After all, hunting and shooting rabbits and shooting pheasants is not comparable to a real battle battle. What to do? Ma Ju thought anxiously. The cries of relatives and neighbors resounded throughout the village, but he was powerless.
As a scholar who was a scholar who was a talented student at the age of fifteen, Ma Ju can be said to be a well-known prodigy, so his way of thinking about things is still different from that of the village husbands and fools, and he is still a little calm even if his heart is like a knife. He finally made a painful decision, that is, not to rush in and make unnecessary sacrifices.
The ancients said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years! Stay this useful body, and there will always be a time to find Jiannu for revenge. He is both civil and military, he is the heir of the Mo family, and he is full of confidence in himself!
"Let's go!" When Ma Ju made up his mind to escape, he once again saw the dozens of Jiannu's war horses. From Yongning to Fuzhou, and then to the Beixunkou controlled by the Dongjiang Army, there are still more than 100 miles. With horses, you can escape smoothly.
After having the idea of grabbing the horse, Ma Ju noticed the only son of Taclan who was guarding the side. He was dark and strong, not very tall, and had a little childishness on his face, and was drinking mare's milk wine while looking at the burning village and laughing. In his opinion, burning, killing and looting these Han people seems to be a matter of course.
In order to cultivate his courage to kill, Tachlan captured two Han Chinese and let him kill them. Although he is only guarding the horse outside, the cries of the women and children of the Han people in Zhuangzi still make him feel a bloodthirsty excitement.
"Ahh He suddenly felt a pain in the right side of his neck, and turned his head with difficulty to see a young Han man dressed as a hunter rushing towards him. He tried to grab his bow and arrows, but felt his body sink uncontrollably.
"Damn Jiannu! Go to hell! Seeing that he had been shot in the neck, Ma Ju rushed up with confidence, drew a knife from the saddle, and slashed at the young man.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Ma Ju had killed someone, and he didn't even dare to look at this Jiannu's face, he just numbly stabbed this person in the stomach and stabbed him indiscriminately. It wasn't until his stomach was completely stabbed open and his intestines were bleeding out that Ma Ju stopped with trembling hands.
"Run!" After wiping away the warm blood splashed on his face, Ma Ju finally calmed down. He quickly grabbed two parcels, picked out two of the tallest horses, and began to flee south for his life.
"Hey, why am I so stupid!" After running two miles away, Ma Ju suddenly realized a major mistake of his own: why did he only snatch two horses and leave. If you can't ride it yourself, you should also disperse these war horses! Now that all the war horses are in place, this group of Jiannu came out of the Zhuangzi and was just ready to ride to chase and kill themselves.
Hey, leave it to fate! Only desperately ran. Thinking of this, Ma Ju shook the whip again: "Smack! ”
"Bang bang, bang bang!" After running out for about five or six miles, just as the horse's heart was a little lowered, the sound of horses' hooves finally came as if it were urgent. This gang of Jiannu finally chased after them!
Damn, I'm as stupid as a pig! Ma Ju seemed to have countless "grass ni horses running by" at this time, eager to find a place to hit the wall!
Although he grew up in Liaodong since he was a child, his family also raised horses when he was a child, and Ma Ju can ride horses. But since all the horses were confiscated by Jiannu the year before last, he has never ridden a horse again, and his horse control skills cannot be compared with the Jiannu cavalry trained every day. So he was about to be caught up by Jiannu, and he was not surprised at all.
"Change horses!" A thought flashed through Ma Ju. He immediately pulled the red horse on the side closer, and then jumped over with agility.
"Bang bang, bang bang!" Although the horse was retired, the sound of Jiannu's urging hooves was getting closer and closer, and the sound was getting louder and louder, making people feel more and more crisp and worried. The Jiannu soldiers who have been fighting on horseback all year round are really good at riding, their figures fluctuate with the rhythm of the horses, and the backs of the horses fleeing in front of them are becoming bigger and clearer in their eyes.
"Whoosh!" After turning around and seeing that the nearest Jiannu soldier was only more than fifty steps away from him, Ma Ju decisively shot an arrow at him.
"Humph!" The arrow landed accurately on the left shoulder of the slave, piercing half an inch into his flesh. However, due to the long distance, and the fact that he was shooting an arrow on a horse, his strength was not fierce enough, except for bringing a little flesh injury to this Jiannu, there was no fatal use!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" A few Jiannu who were chasing in front began to shoot arrows at Ma Ju's back, and several light arrows immediately broke through the air.
Ma Ju has practiced martial arts since he was a child, has the ability to listen to the wind discerner, and his ears are particularly smart, and after feeling that there are arrows shooting behind him, he suddenly lowered his body on the horse's back. But the two feathered arrows, one on the left and one on the right, still stuck to his shoulders, and the feathers grazed his shoulders with great kinetic energy.
"No! If this continues, Lao Tzu will definitely die! These Jiannu are all very good archers, and after missing the first round of shooting, they will definitely make adjustments quickly. How many rounds can you dodge? Besides, these Jiannu can also shoot horses, horses are big targets, a few rounds of arrows are shot down, the horses are injured, how can they run? With this in mind, Ma Ju quickly made a decision to break the boat.
When he ran to a narrow place, he quickly turned his horse's head in the direction of Jiannu's pursuers, and then jumped sharply at the other horse, and stabbed the other horse's ass as he left.
Driven by the pain, the wounded horse rushed madly towards the chasing Jiannu. When Jiannu saw that a war horse was rushing like crazy, he hurriedly dodged with his superb horsemanship. Rao is like this, or knock the lost only son and the trance-stricken Taclan to the ground.
When the Jiannu saw their master landing, they had to temporarily give up the pursuit of Maju, and Qiqile came down to help Tachran, who had been assigned to Bashku.
"Drive!" As soon as Ma Ju saw that his ruse had achieved his goal, he whipped his horse's ass and continued to flee along the official road towards the south.
"Leave me alone! Hurry, hurry! Dog minions, get on my horse and chase that damn dog! As soon as Tuckeran limped to his feet, he yelled in disgust.
