Chapter 53: Cold-Blooded

Ma Yue led 50 horsemen to rush into the north gate of Wancheng like a whirlwind and clouds.

Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted them from the city tower, and from a distance, Guan Hai asked, "Bo Qi, where are the military horses?" Why don't you see Zhou Cang? ”

Pei Yuanshao was careful, staring at the trembling feather arrow on Ma Yue's left arm and asked, "Boqi, have you been hit by an arrow?" ”

Ma Yue's expression was frosty, and he didn't have time to explain to the two, so he said sharply on horseback: "Guan Hai! ”

"In!"

Guan Hai instinctively straightened up and agreed sharply.

"Beat the drums and count the soldiers, and let the brethren assemble outside the east gate at once."

"Yes."

Guan Haihu roared, took the reins of the horse from the hands of the soldiers around him, turned over the war horse, and galloped towards the east gate.

"Pei Yuanshao."

Pei Yuanshao also said proudly: "Yes." ”

Ma Yue asked, "How are the horseshoes, horseshoes, and saddles ready?" ”

Pei Yuanshao said: "More than 500 pairs of horseshoes and saddles have been prepared, and more than 600 sets of horseshoes. ”

Ma Yue asked, "How many war horses have been nailed and saddled with new ones?" ”

Pei Yuanshao said: "Just 30 horses, left in the barracks for the brothers to try to ride." ”

Ma Yue said: "Okay, throw all the horseshoes that have been built into the furnace, melt them all, throw all the saddles into the furnace and burn them, and the 30 war horses will be slaughtered immediately, the saddles will be burned, and the horseshoes will be peeled off and melted!" Also, order all the blacksmiths and carpenters to assemble in the barracks, and go! ”

Pei Yuanshao was stunned and said, "Destroy ...... All ruined? Why is that? ”

Ma Yue yelled, "Why don't you go quickly!?" ”

"Yes!"

Pei Yuanshao's heart jumped, he didn't dare to ask more, and he received the military order and hurriedly went.

Ma Yue took a breath, beat the horse and galloped towards the Taishou Mansion, the so-called plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, although Ma Yue tried his best, but in the end he still fell short. Although the cavalry could not be formed, Ma Yue was not discouraged, but the patterns he left in the Taishou Mansion must be destroyed and must not fall into the hands of the officials and soldiers.

Riding a horse and galloping to the Taishou Mansion, Ma Yue had just turned over and fallen off the horse, when he saw Liu Yan coming forward with an anxious expression.

"Ma Yue, I heard that you are going to change the military horse with what kind of truth? Don't go, it's a trap, 5,000 elite officers and soldiers have already designed a trap, and they are waiting for you to drill into it. ”

Ma Yue's color changed, he took a step forward and grabbed Liu Yan's clothes, and said sharply: "5,000 officers and soldiers!?" How do you know? ”

"Ahem~" Liu Yan's pink jade jin was tightly strangled by Ma Yue, unable to catch her breath, and couldn't speak, "I~~I~~You~put~~hand~"

"How can you do this to Sister Liu Yan!?"

With a coquettish sound, a shadow suddenly rushed out of the courtyard, but it was Zou Yuniang who stabbed Ma Yue's hand with a broom, and the move was still there, but it was light and powerless. Ma Yue snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, and pulled Zou Yuniang and the Yin broom to the ground, only then did he loosen Liu Yan's clothes, and asked sharply, "What's going on?" Say it! ”

Liu Yan's expression was gloomy, and she said in a low voice: "Yesterday, my sister and I rescued a woman in Yizhuang, but we fled from Luoyang, and she was originally an official lady......

Ma Yue frowned, and said sharply: "I don't have time, I'll talk about it later." ”

After speaking, Ma Yue no longer paid attention to Liu Yan, and hurriedly entered the Taishou Mansion, Liu Yan was stunned, looked back at a few people who were pestled outside the door like bamboo poles, and said, "Big brother, what happened?" ”

A rogue said gloomily: "We fell for the tricks of the Han army, and all 2,000 military horses were killed, and Brother Zhou Cang, Brother Mao, Brother Niu, and more than 200 brothers were in order to drag the cavalry of the Han Army, and most of them were also lost." ”

Liu Yanhua said with a pale: "Oh my God, it's late?" ”

Ma Yue strode into the mansion and threw all the patterns he had drawn after staying up for more than a dozen nights into the fire tray, watching the brocade silk quickly turn into ashes in the fire tray, Ma Yue's eyes became strangely gloomy. In troubled times, gambling is the surname, one person is like this, a thousand people are like this, their heads are pinned to their waists, what else is there to be afraid of?

After a while, Ma Yue's figure appeared outside the gate, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zou Yuniang and said to Liu Yan: "You, take her, and the official eunuch lady you said, and immediately assemble outside the east gate!" He Laosi, you bring ten brothers to protect them, and the rest of the brothers come with me and go to the barracks!" ”

……

In the barracks, more than 100 blacksmiths and more than 200 carpenters have all been gathered, and they are all gathered around the school field, and they are like a bazaar.

Ma Yuewolf's eyes scanned the entire school field, and said sharply: "Silence! ”

In an instant, the entire school was silent, and all the craftsmen looked at Ma Yue stupidly, wondering what this big leader who had always been easy to talk to was going to do? However, they haven't thought about the bad for the time being, under the leadership of this big leader, these 800 rogues are different from the previous Yellow Turban thieves, the Yellow Turban thieves are scourges when they see people, but these 800 rogues only harm big families, like them, and these small people who are fighting are not guilty of any crime.

Ma Yue took a breath and said sharply: "We have been stationed in Wancheng for a while, and the eight hundred rogues are the way to be, I believe everyone knows in their hearts, we only kill the rich, only rob the big households, and never harm the common people, so ...... I will never do anything to you, please rest assured! ”

"That's the kindness of the big boss, we know it."

"Yes, the big boss also asked people to open a righteous village in the city, such a rogue...... Uh, no, it's the righteous army, it's really more intimate than the official army. ”

……

The craftsmen began to sing the praises of virtue.

Ma Yue raised his right arm abruptly, and all the craftsmen were silent.

"But we are rogues after all, and the imperial court is going to send officials and troops to suppress it after all, although Wancheng is good, we can't stay forever. Today, our eight hundred Liukou are about to turn in, in a word, we need craftsmen, there are people who are willing to go with us, I Ma Yue raised his hands to welcome, from today on, I will be my Ma Yue's brother of life and death. If you don't want to go, I won't force it, and after the payment is paid, please go home. Now, please make a decision, if you want to go with us, please take ten steps forward and stand on the stage. ”

The craftsmen began to discuss each other, and then the camp began to split, only a dozen craftsmen walked ten steps forward to stand under the point general, and the remaining three hundred or so craftsmen remained in place.

A faint smile bloomed on Ma Yue's face, and he said to Pei Yuanshao beside him: "Old Pei, take these craftsmen who are willing to go with us to assemble outside the east gate, if you don't want to go, please wait a little longer, I will let people get money, according to the number of heads, one thousand yuan per person!" ”

"The big boss is too polite."

"yes, we don't want to be paid."

"Thank you, big boss, thank you."

In fact, most of these craftsmen are honest craftsmen, who eat with their skills, and are usually used to being bullied, and when they meet Ma Yue such a benevolent and righteous leader, they are really not used to it.

When Pei Yuanshao led the dozen or so craftsmen away, the smile on Ma Yue's face gradually faded, and finally turned into a cold killing machine.

"锵~~"

The harsh sound of metal grinding sounded around the school yard, it was the sound of steel knives unsheathed, and the originally noisy school yard suddenly became eeriely silent, and the craftsmen finally realized that something was wrong, because the large group of rogues around the school yard did not go to transport copper coins at all, but raised their shiny steel knives......

"Kill!"

Ma Yue's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and a cold killing word burst out of his mouth.

"Kill~~"

More than 100 rogue wolves roared, swung their knives forward, and the shiny steel knives slashed down with dazzling coldness, but this time, the object of their killing was no longer the official army, but the unarmed craftsmen, but there was no trace of hesitation and unbearability in their eyes, and some were just hideous and cruel.

The powerless craftsmen were quickly slaughtered, and the school field was full of blood and corpses, Ma Yue took a deep breath, and a dark cloud swept through his eyes.

It's not that I'm treacherous, it's really that you can't be left behind!

Finally, he glanced at the dead corpses all over the ground, Ma Yue jumped off the platform, there was already a rogue who led the war horse, Ma Yue turned over and got on the horse, made a move, and said sharply: "Go, go to the East Gate~~~"
