Outside General Andy's mansion, a team of cavalry galloped over, and in a blink of an eye, they had arrived outside General Andy's mansion.

"Major General." Seeing the comer, several guards in charge of guarding the General's Mansion showed a look of adoration in their eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Ma Chao threw the stirrup off his horse, threw the reins of the horse to the entourage behind him, strode towards the house, and asked casually, "Is my father here?" ”

"General Hui, the lord was invited by Lord Han today to go to Jincheng for a banquet!" The leader of the guards replied.

"What?" Ma Chao turned his head suddenly, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes, and hurriedly asked, "When did you leave?" ”

"I've been on my way early this morning." The commander of the guards looked at Ma Chao suspiciously.

"Not good!" Ma Chao's face changed slightly, snatched the reins from the hands of his entourage, and said sharply: "Inform Pang De, order all the troops and horses to meet me, and the others, guard the city, and you can't open the city unless you or your father." ”

"Big brother, what's going on?" A sturdy young man walked out of the door and looked at Ma Chao suspiciously.

"Bo Zhan, come with me!" Ma Chao turned over and got on the horse, and saw that his younger brother, although he was a few years younger than himself, his knife skills were quite good, and he immediately said.

"Good!" Ma Dai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly took his weapon and found a mount to follow Ma Chao out of the city.

"Big brother, what happened?" Out of the city gate, Ma Dai finally remembered to ask Ma Chao.

"Father is in danger." Ma Chao looked into the distance and said with a gloomy face: "In recent days, the soldiers and horses of Jincheng have been secretly mobilized, although they don't know their intentions, but Han Sui's old thief will have bad intentions, and he invited his father to the banquet at this moment, I'm afraid there will be no good banquet!" ”

"Ah~" Ma Dai's face changed greatly: "What should I do now?" ”

"I have ordered Ming to lead the army to come, I hope to catch up!" Ma Chao snorted coldly, rode out of the city, he just got the information today, although the other party did not reveal his identity, but these days Han Sui's abnormal behavior made Ma Chao suspicious, now I only hope to be able to rush to Jincheng before his father goes to the banquet, otherwise, the big thing will be over.

Soon, after Pang De was summoned by Ma Chao, he ordered five thousand elite horsemen and came to join Ma Chao.

From Longyou to Jincheng, it is said that it is not far away, but there are more than 100 miles of road, the cavalry is running at full speed, and it will take an hour, Ma Chao did not explain much, and took 5,000 soldiers and horses to gallop in the direction of Jincheng.

Jincheng, Ma Teng came to the city gate with his own horse, but saw that the city gate was wide open, but there was no one guarding the gate, and he couldn't help frowning: "How can Wen Yue be so unprepared?" ”

Ma Xiu stepped forward, looked at the empty city gate, and said softly: "Father, will there be fraud, then Han Sui is not a good person." ”

"Shut up!" Hearing this, Ma Teng scolded: "Wen Yue is my brother, you should be called uncle, how can you call him by his name?" As I have already said in the letter, I was invited to come this time to resolve the previous conflict. ”

When Ma Xiu heard this, he frowned and nodded, but in his heart, he still couldn't let go, and said softly: "Father, it is indispensable to guard against people, it is better to let Brother Tie take people to stay outside the city, and I will enter the city." ”

Ma Teng glared at Ma Xiu, then thought about it, nodded and said, "That's fine, Ma Tie." ”

"Father." Ma Tie stepped forward.

"You take someone to wait outside the city." Ma Teng said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" After Ma Tie bowed down to receive the order, he stayed outside the city with more than 200 horsemen, and Ma Teng and Ma Tie walked towards the empty city gate with several personal guards.

"Boom~"

Just after the two entered the city gate, a thousand catties of boulder suddenly fell from the city, sealing the city gate, Ma Teng, Ma Xiu's hearts sank, outside the city, Ma Tie's face changed, and he said sharply: "Quick, push away the boulder!" ”

More than two hundred guards hurriedly wanted to step forward, the city suddenly appeared dense figures, a cluster of cold arrows with a cold snort sounded at the city head, raindrops fell, two hundred guards did not arrive at the city gate, they were shot by seemingly endless arrow clusters, the horse was hit by three arrows, the war horse also died under the rain of arrows, and was dragged out desperately by two guards who were full of arrows.

"Father! Second brother! Looking at the blocked city gate, Ma Tie let out a terrible roar, struggling to rush up again, but was stopped by the guards.

Inside the city gate, as the moment the jack stone fell, Ma Teng and Ma Xiu's hearts sank at the same time, and then appeared on the urn city, and the dense Xiliang soldiers made Ma Teng's heart sink to the bottom.

"Father, the old thief Han Sui is really uneasy and kind!" Matthew gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

Ma Teng's face was pale, he looked at the head of the city, his hair was flamboyant, and he roared angrily: "Han Sui, get out of here!" ”

On the city tower, several Xiliang soldiers got out of the way, and a thin scribe appeared at the head of the city, looked down at Ma Teng, and said with a smile: "Brother Shoucheng, why are you so angry?" ”

"Han Sui!" Ma Teng pulled out his sword, pointed at Han Sui from afar, and shouted: "I treat each other with sincerity, why do you plot with me!?" ”

"Be honest with each other?" When Han Sui heard this, he sneered, shook his head and looked at Ma Teng: "Brother Shoucheng, you are still so naΓ―ve, now that Xiliang, your Ma family has annexed the candidate people, and it has become a dominant situation, coupled with the prestige of your father and son among the Qiang people, if I don't start first, in a few years, this Xiliang, but there is still a way for me Han Sui to live?" Spring and Autumn unrighteous war! ”

"Dog thief! I swear to kill you! Ma Teng's eyes were cracking, he looked at Han Sui, and gritted his teeth.

"Kill me?" When Han Sui heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, but his eyes gradually cooled: "When Brother Shoucheng can walk out of this city gate, let's talk about this big thing again!" Shoot the arrows! ”

With Han Sui's order, the defenders of the city suddenly fired ten thousand arrows, in order to avoid Ma Teng's prestige among the Qiang people, so that the Qiang people defected, this time, Han Sui selected the Han soldiers, dense arrow clusters fell like raindrops, Han Sui waved the sword in his hand impermeable, while blocking the arrow clusters falling like flying locusts, while fighting and retreating, with Ma Xiu retreated towards the city gate hole, more than ten guards have already fallen in a pool of blood, with their bodies, for the two to win a glimmer of life.

"Poof~" A cold arrow pierced Ma Hugh's body mercilessly.

"Hugh!" Seeing this, Ma Teng let out a terrible scream, dragged Ma Xiu, and retreated into the city gate hole, but at this moment, Ma Teng also had two more arrows on his body, and when he looked down, Ma Xiu was already angry, and couldn't help but feel sad, and roared in the sky: "Han Sui, you must not die well!" ”

"Humph!" At the head of the city, Han Sui listened to Ma Teng's mournful roar, sneered, and waved his hand, the soldiers at the head of the city stopped shooting, and at the same time, the gate of the urn city opened, and a member of the cavalry rode out of the horse and rushed towards the city gate.

"Yan Xing!?" When Ma Teng saw this person, he couldn't help but shout angrily, as the first general under Han Sui, Yan Xing's ability is definitely one of the few in Xiliang, if Ma Teng is not injured and has a blade in his hand, he is naturally not afraid of him, but at this moment, Ma Teng has several arrows in his body, and there is only a sword in his hand, where is Yan Xing's opponent?

Suddenly, Yan Xing had already jumped in front of him, looked at Ma Teng with a desperate face, sneered, and picked up the sword in his hand with a shot, and the spear crossed a strange arc in the air, and the next moment, it had pierced Ma Teng's chest.

"My son Ma Chao will definitely avenge me~" Waiting for Yan Xing to death, a look of resentment flashed on Ma Teng's face.

"At least you won't see that day!" At the mention of Ma Chao, Yan Xing's eyes couldn't help flashing a touch of coldness, sneered, threw the silver spear, pulled out the saber from the horse's back, and splashed Ma Teng's head on his body, but he didn't realize it, turned over and dismounted, cut off Ma Xiu's head together, and threw it to the entourage who came later: "Hang it at the head of the city!" ”
