Chapter 039: My Son Won't Come to Save You
September 18.
Ma Wencai and Zhu Yingtai are going to get married today, and the worship ceremony will be held at 7 p.m. sharp.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the wedding was still under intense preparations.
The Mafu compound is densely packed with people. Guests from all over the world are drinking tea and chatting, and the busy maids and maids are full of smiles on their faces, and they don't care about wiping their sweat, no matter what they do, they are just trotting.
The couplets on the gate have long been pasted and are going to burn
The firecrackers are ready, the red lanterns are hung all over the front and back courtyards, and the word double happiness is pasted all over the courtyard.
Everything is ready, just wait for the bride Zhu Yingtai to come to the church.
Ma Duo and Ma Yunhai were drinking tea with Huan Ji, Xi Chao, Wang Shu and others in the living room at this time.
Wang Shu arched his hand and said: "The county lord went to Wushan yesterday to play, and stayed at the official post outside the city at night. Before leaving, he told me to come first, and she would be there in the evening. ”
At this time, a family member ran in in a panic and reported to Ma Duoyu that the official post where the lord of Xin'an County lived had been attacked by bandits and was in danger, and the county lord sent guards to report and ask for a quick rescue.
Everyone was shocked when they heard that the county lord was in distress. Xin'an County mainly had an accident in Qiantang, how could Sima Yu, the prime minister's Huiji Wang, give up, and the Ma family could not escape the death penalty, and it was strange that the three clans were not wiped out.
The stakes were very high, Ma Duo thought about it for a while, and immediately decided to personally lead the troops there. Ma Yunhai's father and son couldn't leave, so they could only go by themselves.
It's just that where did the bandits come from so boldly as to attack the official post where the county lord lived? There are five hundred guards around the county lord, all of whom are well-equipped and have extraordinary martial arts.
Without further ado, Ma Duo instructed everyone not to make a noise, and secretly ordered someone to gather a thousand families to quickly leave the city and go straight to the official post twenty miles north of the city.
Although Huan Ji didn't like the lord of Xin'an, he was embarrassed to see death and not save him, so he also ordered people to lead 200 soldiers to the official post to support.
When Ma Duo led his family to the post station, he saw that the outskirts of the post station were full of bandits, as many as 2,000 people. The bandits wore a variety of clothes, and only a few wore mutilated armor. But the strange thing is that the bandits are very well armed, and they do not suffer at all when they fight the guards.
Seeing that the bandits were about to break through the gate, Ma Duo hurriedly ordered his family members to go up to support.
After a fierce battle, the bandits were finally repulsed. The inside and outside of the inn were littered with the corpses of the housekeepers and bandits. Ma Duo hurriedly led the surviving hundred family members into the post station and searched for a long time, but there was no trace of the county lord, not even a single county lord's guard.
Just when Ma Duo was puzzled, a long laugh suddenly came, "Hahaha, old Ma Duo, where are you running away today?" ”
When Ma Duo looked again, countless archers and axe men appeared on the courtyard walls and roofs of the post station. Three people walked outside the dilapidated gate, a middle-aged man on the left, a masked woman on the right, and the person in the middle was Liang Shanbo.
Liang Shanbo, the second uncle, and the ninth sister stood outside the door, staring coldly at the panicked Ma Duo and his subordinates. Di Ting and the three-legged donkey obediently followed behind the three of them.
"Liang Shanbo, you dare to collude with the thieves to plot against the old man, do you know that this is a big crime of raiding the family and destroying the family?" Ma Duo knew that his situation was not good, and he was still hoping that the reinforcements sent by Huan Ji would arrive soon, or that Ma Yunhai would find something abnormal to save him.
"Hahaha, I don't know, I only know that on the way to Qiantang, I was endlessly chased by bandits and water bandits, and almost died. May I ask Lord Fujun, do you know what the crime of colluding with bandits and bandits is? I can't do what you can do, isn't it also the privilege of your eunuchs to collude with bandits? ”
Faced with this person who almost killed himself several times, Liang Shanbo hated so much that the roots of his teeth itched, not only himself, but also the second uncle and Di Ting were almost killed by him.
Triangle Eye humiliated his mother and almost beat him to death, Song Lian poisoned Ma Wu and colluded to arrest him, Xiao Li Zhuang was almost burned to death, Feiying Village fell off the cliff, and the nameless island was trapped for several months. All of this was done by the old guy in front of him, Ma Duo will not die, and Lao Tzu will never have peace.
Moreover, Ma Zhu's marriage and early marriage are all advocated by this old guy.
Ma Duo is still looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements from Xifu, less than ten miles, it has been an hour, and it should be there.
Liang Shanbo looked at Ma Duo looking left and right, his eyes rolled, and he knew that he was still lucky, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Old horseman, you are going to die today!" No one will come to save you, including Ma Yunhai. Hello, let's see who these are? ”
Hearing this, Ma Duo carefully looked at the archers and axe men around him, although he was dressed like a bandit, his movements and expressions were no different from those of formally trained soldiers, especially with a murderous aura on his body, which looked like he had been on the battlefield. Where did the regular army come from in Qiantang, except for the Xifu soldiers brought by Huanji.
And where did the county lord and her guards go? Why aren't they there?
There must be ghosts in this!
Ma Duo thought for a long time, and was suddenly stunned, pointed at Liang Shanbo and stammered: "You, how did you do it?" ”
"It's very simple, after you die, the wedding will be canceled immediately, and the Ma family will keep filial piety for you for a while. As soon as the filial piety period is over, the county lord will recruit Ma Wencai as his son-in-law. For the position of assassin left behind after your death, the major families, including the emperor, will also compete fiercely, and finally under the strong deterrence of General Huan, Ma Yunhai will inherit his father's position. In return, your precious grandson Ma Wencai will enter Xifu with the Ma family's 3,000 iron cavalry and be responsible for training the cavalry. ”
Liang Shanbo looked at the old lady Ma who had a gray face and a messy hair and beard. The heart is dark, the dignified Guangzhou Assassin History, can be regarded as a man of the hour, and today he died tragically here, and he was killed by Lao Tzu. What's more, Lao Tzu has been abused since he crossed over, and even trampled under his feet, and today he finally got out of a nest!
"I'm afraid your biggest gain is to stop this marriage, so that you have a chance to get Zhu Yingtai." Ma Duo said angrily.
"Of course, who will do what is not beneficial? Well, this ending I've planned is good! Even if it doesn't hurt your Ma family, your son is looking forward to your death so that he can be a assassin? Besides, he's so busy, I'm afraid he'll forget about you leaving the city, so don't think about him coming to save you. ”
"You, you, ignorant child, you ruined my big plan and ruined my Ma family, I fought with you!" Ma Duo ran towards Liang Shanbo with a knife.
"The Ma family has received so many benefits, you don't thank me, but want to harm me, isn't this revenge! Although you are dead, you can sacrifice one, happy the whole family, you can be regarded as a well-deserved death, heavier than Mount Tai. Be of good cheer, and your children and grandchildren will not forget you. You can go on the road in peace! ”
Ma Duo dragged his old and sick body, holding a knife in his hand and walked towards Liang Shanbo, and what Liang Shanbo said pierced his heart like a knife. What's more, Lao Tzu's decades of calculating and hard work, the Ma family's grand cause, was destroyed by this kid who came out of nowhere.
The more Liang Shanbo said, the more angry Ma Duo became, his body began to tremble constantly, and blood flowed out of his mouth. The Ma family's family wanted to save him, but after being shot by a few archers around him, he didn't dare to move anymore.
Finally, when he was more than ten steps away from Liang Shanbo, Ma Duo knelt on the ground with his chest clutched, and blood continued to flow out of his mouth.
"Hehehe, Uncle Liang Shan, the old man really underestimated you! A cold family, in my eyes, is like a local chicken and tile dog, and it can ruin my plans. But even if you kill the old man, I'm afraid it's too late. ”
Liang Shanbo looked up and saw that the sun had already set, and a large and round moon rose above the treetops.
"Hahaha, in half an hour, my grandson will be married. All your plans will come to naught! The old man has already ordered martial law in Qiantang, you don't want to enter the city! Haha, the old man hasn't lost yet! Not... No... Lose. Ma Duo pointed at Liang Shanbo with his finger, blood splattered in his mouth, and his body fell to the ground and did not move.
The ninth sister pointed to Ma Duo's corpse and said anxiously: "Brother Liang, Ma Duo is dead, but the city doesn't know, the wedding is still going on!" Half an hour, more than 20 miles, can we get there? And the whole city is under martial law, and we can't get in! ”
