To the west of Shen County, in the south of Zhao State, is the land of Maling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Maling originally belonged to Qi, and after Zhao participated in the Five Kingdoms War, it was already occupied.

At the junction of Maling and the Great Wei State and the Little Wei Kingdom, there is an important traffic point, called Xin Dao, which is an important link of land transportation.

In the past, when Sun Bin led the troops, he often led the Qi army and entered the Wei land through Xindao.

The famous Battle of Maling took place here.

Seventy years ago, the famous general of Wei led an army of 100,000 to attack the Qi country, in the middle of Sun Bin's plan to reduce the stove, chased to Maling in the middle of the night, passing by a big tree that stripped off the bark, Pang Juan raised the fire to look at it, engraved "Pang Juan died under this tree" eight big characters, the 10,000 Qi archers who were ambushed here suddenly appeared, shot towards the firelight, 10,000 arrows flew together, ambushed the soldiers in all directions, the Wei soldiers were defeated, Pang Juan committed suicide in shame after being hit by the arrow.

The roads are narrow, the terrain is dangerous, and the ravines and hills are scattered all over the place.

On that day, 10,000 crossbowmen were able to hide in the Maling, largely thanks to the terrain of the Maling.

……

Tonight's Maling, the night is like ink, and it is also suitable for killing.

A black shadow, as fast as a cunning rabbit, scurryed through the grass and touched a bonfire in front of it.

The campfire was full of people.

More than 50 tall and strong men sat around, eating, drinking, laughing, and laughing.

A dozen sharp knives stabbed the ground, reflecting the flames. The bright red blood stained on the knife slid into the dirt and spilled white wine on the ground, adding to the celebration of the night.

Outside the bonfire, it was the spoils of the night. More than a dozen carriages loaded with goods were close together, and on the ground lay seven or eight women with big ties, their mouths gagged with sackcloth, crying so much that their faces were full of mud and tears, and they couldn't cry silently.

A hundred paces further away from the campfire, eight sentries patrolled in pairs.

The sound of laughter came from the bonfire in the distance, tickling the heart of a thin-bearded man, looking at the bonfire from time to time, and anxiously saying to a thin-faced man next to him, "Brother, did you arrive at the child?" Isn't it time for a shift change? ”

The thin-faced man raised his eyes to look at the night sky and scolded, "How do you know what time it is!" This batch of goods is divided back, and the silver is indispensable to yours, what kind of bird is in a hurry! ”

The thin-bearded man touched a slightly smaller soldier's armor on his body, and said with a sneer, "Since the Five Kingdoms attacked your Qi country, in the past year, there have been many Qi people who have fled from Xindao to other countries, and our Six Horse Army has not killed many fat merchants and travelers from Qi countries, and those deserters who are unwilling to join us have also killed a lot, and after doing so many tickets, I have long been short of silver weapons, I want to divide a woman now, hehe." ”

"Our big horse head's own brother, the six horse heads, is still here, which round will get you? You better have more money, I don't know where my life will be in the future, my eyelids are jumping today, and my heart is a little panicked. The thin-faced man squatted down, looked at Dongfang with a melancholy look in his eyes and said.

"Alas, too, the six horse heads must have taken all the women away this time. Hey, brother, what's the matter, you've become a horse thief, what are you panicking about, are you thinking about Qi Guo? The thin-bearded man knew that Thin Face was once a soldier of the Qi State, so he asked, "I heard that when your Qi State first started the war with the Five Kingdoms, it was led by the general of the Qi State, and I heard that as soon as the battle was fought, the Qi State lost a lot of blood, what is going on, your Qi army was not like this before?" ”

The thin face glanced at the thin-bearded man, and said angrily, "Although Le Yi is like a god in his army, everyone is afraid of him in our Qi army, but if General Touche is dedicated to fighting for the country, it is impossible to say who will lose and who will win!" ”

"What, your general has betrayed the enemy?" Thinbeard exclaimed.

"Humph! General Tentacle is not that kind of person! The thin face clenched his fists and said angrily, "King Qi Min, the faint monarch, in order to urge the general to fight a decisive battle that day, he actually sent a messenger to meet the tentacle, insulted and reprimanded the general: 'If you don't fight hard, I will exterminate your race and dig up your Zuji!'" General Tentacle was very sad about this, as soon as the two armies fought, Tentacle sounded the gong to withdraw his troops, and after the Qi army was defeated and retreated, it was pursued by the Five-Nation Alliance. General Tentacle drove away in a car, nowhere to go. ”

After General Touchzi left, King Min of Qi sent another general, Dazi, to command the army to meet the alliance of the Five Kingdoms. At that time, everyone was depressed and did not want to fight anymore. In order to reward the warriors and motivate everyone, General Tatsuko sent someone to ask King Min for a bounty. Unexpectedly, King Qi Min was furious and said, 'How can you useless things give you money!' When my brothers heard this, their hearts were scattered, and all who could flee fled, and I fled to Maling at that time. I heard that the Qi army and the Yan army were defeated as soon as they fought, and General Dazi also died on the battlefield. ”

"Haha! Why is your King of Qi more stingy than our big horse? I heard that your King Qi is still 'emperor'? Where does this make Zhou Tianzi put his face on hold? Thinbeard laughed.

The thin face glared at the thin beard, and sighed helplessly, "The old King Qi was not like this when he was in power, the old King Qi was able to sympathize with us little people, and everyone supported him very much." But since King Qi Min succeeded to the throne, he began to fight everywhere. I went to the Yan Kingdom several times, and our Qi Kingdom also destroyed the Song Kingdom. I heard from the sages of the Jixia School Palace that King Qi Min had also intervened in the establishment of a crown prince in Korea. Offended so many countries, how could it not be hated, and later when King Qi Min was 'emperor', Yan State united the five countries to fight. ”

"Hehe, I said your King of Qi...... Hey! What was that! Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly turned to look at a bush in front of him, and shouted vigilantly.

Thin Face also heard the sound of rustling in the grass, and looked at the two of them with Thin Beard, and carefully outflanked them with their swords.

The hills and ditches of Maling are full of rocks, and the grass is waist-high, and the two of them pulled out the grass with their swords, and walked over one deep and one shallow.

The sentry post was far from the campfire, and the depths of the grass were even darker.

Except for the rustle of the grass being pulled up, Thin Face could only hear his own heartbeat, and the feeling of panic suddenly hit again.

After many years in the army, Thin Face believed that this feeling would not be without reason, and when he approached the bushes, he gave Thin Beard a look, and the two gradually got closer, and he raised his sword to stick into the grass.

Suddenly!

A dark shadow burst out!

There were two clicks, and two headless corpses also fell in the grass.

The thin-faced head rolled twice, and a sturdy figure was reflected in his eyes in disbelief.

This person is Chang Yu.

Winter snow and summer thunder, spring and autumn change, at this time it has been a full year since Chang Yu joined the Golden Gate.

During this year, Chang Yu was diligent in practicing martial arts in the Assassination Golden Gate, received the assassination order, and became a disciple of the Piercing Copper, and his cultivation also reached the fourth stage.

Chang Yu bent down, hiding in the grass, frowning at his right foot.

If it weren't for the sudden disappearance of the internal qi that had been delivered to his right foot just now, leaving Chang Yu with nowhere to exert his strength, he would not have made any movement.

This sudden loss of internal qi is not the first time in this year, especially in recent months, it has become more frequent.

If this kind of influence can be big or small, if it occurs during the practice, at most the previous efforts will be abandoned due to the interruption of internal qi, and it is a big deal to start practicing again, but it is very dangerous when performing tasks and even fighting with masters.

Previously, Chang Yu's body only recovered slowly, and there was no intermittent loss of internal qi, whether there would be other abnormalities in the body in the future, let alone clear, thinking of this, Chang Yu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Although he had read half of the medical scroll given by the old man Qingyang back and forth more than a hundred times, the methods memorized in it were only half a set of formulas, which could only restrain the temporary disappearance of internal qi, and could not solve the fundamental problem.

In the past year, Chang Yu has been looking for the trace of the old man of Qingyang whenever he has the opportunity, but that old man is like the world evaporating, causing Chang Yu to be helpless with the half of the medical scroll in his hand.

After a light sigh, Chang Yu put away his weapon, and made a squeaky sound in his mouth.

Like snakes, three black shadows came from three sides, weaving through the deep grass and heading towards the other three sentinels.

In less than half a pillar of incense, the same insect cries were heard from those three places.

Beyond the bonfire, several black shadows melted into the night, like the claws of death, sneaking towards the bonfire.
