(Keep asking for tickets, thank you for rainy50's tipping encouragement!) ）

Early the next morning, Liu Hong got up from the belly of the beautiful woman in the West Garden when he got the news from Zhang Rang and others that Jian Shuo was violently beaten and detained, and Long Yan was furious. The officials who came from Luoyang City early were even more shocked, the eunuchs were rampant in the government and the opposition for a day or two, and countless officials were killed by eunuchs over the decades, such as Wang Yun, Cai Yong and others are still in exile, and even Cao Ying, a kind of annihilation is not an opponent of eunuchs, Ma Chao dared to whisker the tiger as soon as he emerged, he was really bold and reckless, and he didn't know the depth!

The hero fight continued to swing, and the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials were still watching the excitement on the high platform, until Ma Chao was late after half an hour of the competition. I drank a few more glasses of sake last night, and several people discussed it for most of the night before they dispersed to rest, Ma Chao was physically and mentally exhausted and overslept.

As soon as he stepped onto the high platform, he saw Emperor Ling's gloomy face, and the civil and military officials also put on a lively look, only Ding Yuan and Ma Yueyan were full of worries. Ma Chao had already thought of a countermeasure, stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, there will be something to report at the end!" Please also ask Your Majesty to uphold justice! ”

Emperor Ling raised his head and said, "General Ma has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Ma Chao said: "Last night, as soon as the heroes dispersed, a small yellow gate led more than a dozen followers to break into the temporary military camp of the last general, claiming to be His Majesty's envoy, and came to recruit the heroes. Your Majesty is wise and martial, and love is like life! Such a major event as recruiting talents will send the ministers of the DPRK and China to go in person, how can they just send a small yellow door to perfunctory? The last general was puzzled, so he asked a few more words, but he didn't know that the little yellow door was extremely arrogant, not only insulting the last general and the strong man, but also insulting his father, slandering my Ma family for having a heart of disobedience! ”

After a pause, he said: "My Ma family has served the Han Dynasty for generations since the ancestor Ma Yuan followed Emperor Guangwu. The minister was angry for a while, so he asked his sergeant to take it down and beat it with fifty military sticks, and now hand it over to His Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will give my Ma family justice! ”

The Spirit Emperor exclaimed, "Is there such a thing? Where is Jian Shuo now? I'm going to ask him personally! ”

Ma Chao waved his hand, and the two sergeants brought up the bloody and dying man. At this time, Jian Shuo's injuries were extremely serious, but they were all flesh and skin injuries, not fatal, and the worst thing was that Ma Chao sent someone to pour him a few bowls of [***] soup, and he didn't want to wake up in two or three days.

Emperor Ling's brows furrowed, his face was cloudy, and he said in a deep voice: "Even so, you shouldn't use lynching!" Jian Shuo is clever and hardworking, loyal and commendable, it is the messenger I sent to recruit the strong men, you are proud of your merits, and you dare to beat my messenger, can you know the guilt! ”

Ma Chao said: "The last general doesn't know, this person is arrogant, arrogant, and has no symbols, and he slanders the loyalty and goodness of the country, and all kinds of evil deeds are really detrimental to the majesty of the Son of Heaven." Not to mention that the last general does not know that he is the messenger of the Son of Heaven, even if he knows that he will be punished, such a sinister villain will act recklessly since he holds the favor of His Majesty, framing the loyal and good, and excluding dissidents, which is really a moth in the Han Dynasty! I have won the grace of His Majesty, personally bestowed high-ranking officials with good fortune, and personally promised to be the princess of the dynasty, how can I not repay such a great kindness? Therefore, even if he knows that His Majesty is to blame, the last general must maintain His Majesty's reputation and strive to ensure the stability of the Han Dynasty! ”

"Well said!" And the state of the assassin history, the ruling Jin Wu Ding Yuan stood up in time, Shi Li said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the champion Hou is loyal and courageous, dedicated to the country, although the messenger of the Son of Heaven is taboo, but those who do not know are not guilty!" I hope that Your Majesty will be reckless and reckless in the young and reckless champion Hou and will be dedicated to protecting His Majesty's reputation! ”

Guanglu doctor Ma Yueyan also said: "The Ma family has served the Han court for generations, how can others be allowed to slander!" Jian Shuo is open-mouthed, his words are not inferior first, and General Ma beats him last, this fact is Jian Shuo's fault, please also ask Your Majesty to be aware of it! ”

The other ministers He Jin, Yuan Kui, Yang Biao, Liu Yan, Lu Zhi and others didn't want to help Ma Chao, let alone help the eunuchs, so they tacitly maintained neutrality and waited for Emperor Ling to make a decision.

Liu Hong's face improved a lot when he heard this, and he discussed a few words in a low voice with Zhang Rang beside him, and said loudly: "According to what the champion Hou said, this matter is a misunderstanding!" Although the envoy of the champion Hou stick beat me was wrong, but I remembered that you were young and impulsive, and for the sake of me, I will not blame the past, and only punish you for a year as a warning! As for Jian Shuo, I will personally interrogate him, if it is really as the champion Hou said, I will not tolerate it! ”

"No objection!" Ma Chao naturally will not object, a year's salary is dispensable for him, and the imperial court has not issued a salary to local officials since the Yellow Turban, all relying on the state and county officials to be self-sufficient and find their own way out! After thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, the war in Xianbei in the north was tense before, the autumn harvest is about to end, and the Black Mountain thieves are even more rampant. ”

Liu Hong said: "Champion Hou is dedicated to the country, I have no reason to do it, if I can win two more games, I will have another thick seal!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A turmoil was dissolved, but Ma Chao got the name of "not afraid of the powerful", and the officials in the court who had been bullied by the eunuchs for a long time also breathed a bad breath and secretly admired him. This matter soon became the talk of the people of Luoyang after dinner, and after this incident, Ma Chao's reputation reached a higher level.

Today is the last day of the hero's fight, there are more and more heroes coming from all directions, the crowd is getting bigger and bigger, and the level of the martial arts contestants on the field is also rising, which is not at all like the first two small fights.

Ma Chao sat down and took a look, only to see that the two fierce generals on the field were inseparable, and their level was enough to step into the ranks of first-class generals. One of them was neatly armored, with a majestic body and a height of nine feet, with a tiger's body and a wolf's waist, a leopard's head and ape arms, and a large knife in his hand flying up and down, and at this moment he had a slight upper hand. Fighting against him was a burly young man in rudimentary armor, armed with a double-edged axe, who was defeated but not defeated in a short time.

ordered the soldiers to take a look at the latest list of the registration office, Ma Chao couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, no wonder the two were so brave, it turned out that they were both historical celebrities, and there were several of them.

Yan Liang finally couldn't help it, he had signed up at the moment, and he could fight at any time, not only that, but also Nanyang Wenpin, Hedong Xu Huang, Hebei Pan Feng, Beidi Zhang Xiu, Kanxi Huaxiong Five historical celebrities, in addition to the Qiang man Hu Che'er who killed Dian Wei in history. The strong man with a big knife on the field is none other than Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er were generals under Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou at this time, and when they heard that Luoyang was a hero, they wanted to come to see the heroes of the world, and by the way, how about testing their martial arts? Dong Zhuo also wanted his subordinates to show their faces, and by the way, he inquired about Ma Chao's details, and readily agreed. The three of them set off from Chang'an, passing through Tongguan, Zhongmu, Hanguguan, and Hongnong, and rushed to Luoyang in less than two days, just in time for the last hero.

Ma Chao has been in Xiliang for a long time, so he naturally found out Dong Zhuo's details clearly, at least he knows his generals and strategists well. But it is not clear to the fierce man who fought with Huaxiong and held a big axe, it seems that Wen Ping, Xu Huang and Pan Feng, who is known as the "peerless general", are all big axes.

The two fought fifty or sixty times, and the axe man finally couldn't resist, and was accidentally pulled off the war horse by Hua Xiong's armor, and just got up, the big knife was already placed on top of his head, and he could only admit defeat.

Huaxiong won the first battle, and laughed: "Kansai Huaxiong is here!" Who dares to fight me! ”

Before the words fell, a loud shout suddenly came: "Hugh is arrogant, Hebei Yanliang is here to meet you!" "A green horse galloped over, Yan Liang was neatly draped, holding a phoenix-beaked sword, with a sword at his waist, and his appearance was majestic, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old! One person and one horse go straight to Huaxiong!

Hua Xiong fought with him for less than 20 times, and was cut off by Yan Liang with a knife on his head, and immediately admitted defeat and withdrew dejectedly. Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er, who came together, were shocked, Hua Xiong's ability was naturally clear, and his strength was definitely in the top three among Dong Zhuo's generals, who wanted to fight nearly Lily Fang with an unknown person first, and then was completely defeated by another unknown person within 20 he, if this is a battlefield, I am afraid that my head has moved.

The two of them thought that their martial arts were slightly inferior to Hua Xiong, so they naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to challenge!

Ma Chao also stepped down at this time and put on his armor, and he was not surprised to see Yan Liang defeat Huaxiong in the twentieth year, and it was true that Huaxiong was outstanding in his martial arts, and he successively killed Bao Zhong, the brother of Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and Zu Mao, the general of Sun Jian's department, as well as Yu She, the general of Yuan Shu, and Pan Feng, a subordinate of Han Fu, and many performances are enough to become a first-class general. But his opponent is Yan Liang, Yan Liang is not an ordinary NB, three together to kill Song Xian, one to split Wei Xu, twenty to defeat Xu Huang, this kind of record throughout the Three Kingdoms, comparable to no more than one hand. The first two are fine, they can only be regarded as second-rate generals, but Xu Huang is definitely a first-class general, he can fight with Xu Chu without winning or losing, he can fight with Zhang Fei without defeat, and he can have the absolute upper hand in the battle with Guan Yu when he is injured in his right arm.

It can be seen that Yan Liang's martial arts are by no means general, if he hadn't been attacked by Guan Yu relying on the Red Rabbit Horse, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose! Ma Chao was jealous of Yan Liang because he had a crossing prophet, but others didn't know that as soon as Hua Xiong retreated, a jujube red horse rushed in. The person who came was nine feet long, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, eyes like copper bells, arms like beams, and extremely majestic, and said loudly: "You are Yan Liang?" Hebei Pan Feng came to teach, a certain family has also heard of your name, and today it is just the right time to fight the male and female! ”

Yan Liang glanced at Pan Feng and said disdainfully: "Yes, I am Yan Liang!" I have also heard of your name, I heard that you are a general under Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, and often call yourself 'Wushuang General', today I will meet you for a while, I want to see if you have the qualifications to call yourself 'Wushuang General'! ”

Pan Feng laughed and said: "This general has the strength of a thousand catties in both arms, and the joists change the columns, and the nine cows are like probing the bag!" I think that my strength is not inferior to the overlord of Western Chu, and I call myself unparalleled in strength, not in martial arts! If you are not convinced, you dare to take my three axes! If you can catch it, I will immediately dismount and admit defeat, and the name of 'Peerless General' will also be given to you! ”

Yan Conscience knew that Pan Feng was a man, but he was extremely confident in his own strength, so he said loudly: "Why don't you dare!" Just let the horses go! I will not move to take your three axes, if you take a step back, you will win! ”
