Ma Hong opened his eyes weakly and found himself lying on the bank of the river, and his head was pressed against a soft object. He opened his eyes and saw scales under his face, then looked up and saw something resembling a dragon, first startled, and then smiled bitterly: "Have you traveled to the mythical era again this time?" Am I dead or alive? ”

Qingjiao saw Ma Hong wake up, leaned over to look at Ma Hong's eyes, his eyes met Ma Hongde's eyes, Ma Hong looked at the Qingjiao in front of him, did not get up, but asked Qingjiao: "Are you my pet in this new world?" ”

Qingjiao obviously didn't understand what Ma Hong said, but looked towards the woods. Ma Hong straightened up and looked at the woods, only to see Xu Shu standing pale with a pale face holding the horse's neck. Ma Hong was shocked, and looked towards the riverbank again, saw his dead war horse, and saw the fire he had made last night, and finally his eyes stayed on the body of the frog. Ma Hong stared at Qingjiao's eyes for a long time, then reached out and patted his forehead and laughed: "It's still in this era, and it's still saved by this legendary creature, well, it's not strange!" After all, I've crossed over. ”

Ma Hong muttered to himself, stood up, and saw that the frog Jiao beside him did not have the slightest hostility towards him, but glared at Xu Shu angrily, so he said to the frog, "Can you help me kill him?" ”

Qingjiao's eyes blinked, looked at Dahe, looked at Ma Hong again, and blinked again.

Ma Hong held his chin and said, "Can't you leave the water?" ”

The frog blinked again.

"I see." Ma Hong looked at Xu Shu, who was holding the horse's neck in the woods in the distance, and shouted, "Xu Shu, do you want to kill me?" Just let the horses come! ”

Xu Shu's body was about to fall, and his back was seriously injured, although he had done emergency treatment just now, but now he went to kill Ma Hong, who was protected by the frog, obviously he couldn't do it, he needed to seek medical attention in time, but he still waited for Ma Hong to wake up.

"Ma Hong, I can't kill you today, and I won't be able to return to Shuijing Villa again, and there will be a period later."

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he climbed on the horse with difficulty, patted the horse and walked away.

Ma Hong shouted: "Xu Shu, next time I see you, I will let you die without a place to be buried." ”

Xu Shu didn't look back, and a sneer came from the woods.

"Do you count me as a clay in this world, is this world real, does God exist? Are you and I real? ”

Ma Hong looked at the frog and asked.

Qingjiao can't speak, although he is a spiritual Jiao, he can't understand what Ma Hong is talking about.

Ma Hong looked up to the sky and sighed, stretched out his hand and touched the horns of the frog, and then walked south with a smile, barefoot. The frog dived into the water, and after a while, he surfaced and took out Ma Hong's shoes for Ma Hong, and Ma Hong put on his shoes and continued to walk south. Qingjiao dived into the water again, and after a while surfaced and took out two swords to Ma Hong, one was Cao Cao's Yitian sword, and the other was Han Jian's "dictatorship". Ma Hong tied his sword and continued to walk south, and the frog swam in the water to accompany Ma Hong.

Ma Hong was tired, so Qingjiao took out a few fish from the water, and Ma Hong roasted the fish and threw it to Qingjiao two fish. In this way, one person and one Jiao walked along the water for a day, and when Ma Hong left the water, the frog sent each other off on the shore. Ma Hong turned around, reached out and took off the jade pendant tied around his neck, and said to Qingjiao: "People in this era like to tie jade around their waists, and I like to tie it around my neck. ”

Qingjiao looked at Ma Hong as if he didn't understand, rolling his eyes.

Ma Hong tied the green jade to the horn of the frog, then rubbed the frog's head, smiled at it, and then turned around and continued to walk south. The frog watched Ma Hong walk away, and the white lines on its neck slowly turned green, and finally the white lines disappeared.

Half a month later, Ma Hong returned to Shuijing Villa, and first met Ma San outside the village. After Ma Hong returned to Shuijing Villa, he found that everyone thought he was dead, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang hugged Ma Hong and laughed and cried. Xu Shu didn't come back, and Ma Hong knew that he should never come back.

Ma Hong took the broken sword to meet his teacher, Mr. Shui Jing, and told Mr. Shui Jing about Xu Shu's intention to kill him. Mr. Shui Jing frowned and did not speak. Sima Wei did not blame Ma Hong for taking the liberty of assassinating Cao Cao, but asked him to go back and have a good rest. Then Ma Hong learned from Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang that a lot of things happened in his absence, and Li Ru took the teacher's long-lost daughter to Shuijing Villa, and Li Ru was also ready to live in seclusion here. In addition, Ma Hong got a piece of news that shocked him.

In the first year of the Yonghan Dynasty (189 AD), Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor and was succeeded by Liu Xie. In the first year of Chuping (190 AD), after Wang Yun succeeded Yang Biao as Situ, he intended to plot the murder of Dong Zhuo. After that, Sima Wei asked Wang Yun to release Li Ru. After Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo, he was proud of his achievements and held great power since then, and ordered the killing of Cai Yong, a great Confucian who cried for Dong Zhuo, and his capricious behavior made the ministers talk about it, and Wang Yun no longer listened to the strategy of the strategist Sima Wei after taking power. Immediately afterwards, Wang Yun made a serious mistake in how to deal with the Liangzhou army, he did not forgive the Western Liang generals, and even made Jia Xu persuade Li Dao and Guo Yan to attack Chang'an. After Li Wei and Guo Yan invaded Chang'an, they killed Wang Yun and his entire family, and Sima Wei, as Wang Yun's protégé at that time, and his family were also in Wang Yun's house, only Sima Wei escaped from Chang'an under the protection of the people in the cardinal gate. Since then, Sima Wei and Jia Xu have severed their brother-brother relationship and never seen Jia Xu again.

Zhang Liang, as the patriarch of the Pivotal Gate, left two words to his descendants, "Auxiliary Han", but what Jia Xu and Li Ru did was against the Han. After Sima Wei escaped from Chang'an, he sent people to investigate many times but did not find the surviving family, so he went to Jingzhou to live in seclusion. Li Ru became Li Dao's adviser after Guo Yan and Li Dao captured Chang'an, and found that the girl Li Dao robbed was Sima Wei's daughter, so he took it back from Li Dao.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's description, Ma Hong was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Well, I want to know where Diao Chan went?" ”

Zhuge Liang held his chin and thought for a while, and asked Pang Tong: "Senior brother, did Senior Uncle Li say the whereabouts of his Diao Chan, I didn't care too much." ”

Pang Tong glanced at Zhuge Liang, touched his nose and said, "Such a big beauty, you actually missed it." At that time, I thought it was strange, if Diao Chan was a member of the Pivotal Gate, then Uncle Li should have known him in the Pivotal Gate, so I asked Uncle Li privately. ”

"What did Uncle Li say?"

Ma Hong asked curiously.

"Uncle Li said that he left the Shumen at the age of twenty-three, and since then he has rarely gone back, and he doesn't know Diao Chan, but he later learned Diao Chan's identity, Diao Chan is the teacher's eldest daughter."

Pang Tong sighed and said.

Ma Hong was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: The teacher actually put his own daughters in order to assist Han, is it really ......

"So does that mean that the woman that Uncle Li brought back is Diao Chan?"

Zhuge Liang asked while holding a bamboo pole and knocking on the leaves.

Pang Tong glanced at Zhuge Liang, sighed and said, "Senior Brother Zhuge , although your eyes are very distinctive, you can't find the characteristics of a woman. Although I haven't seen Diao Chan, I think it should be a woman who has captivated the country and the city, and Uncle Li brought back the teacher's second daughter. Diao Chan has ......"

"Was Diao Chan taken away by Lu Bu?" Ma Hong couldn't wait to ask, the Diao Chan in the history he remembered was apocryphal, if this character really exists, then according to the description of Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he should have followed Lu Bu to Xiapi.

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "Uncle Li said that Diao Chan was in a series of schemes, and after Dong Zhuo died, he killed himself. ”

Ma Hong was speechless for a while, and then said slowly after a long time: "This woman deserves our respect." ”
