Chapter 123: The Three Cavalry Captains
(Thank you Dameng and Zhao Wuxian for their 2014 tipping support!) )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the first day of October, it was the day of celebration of Gongsun Du in Liaodong, because this day was the big day of the second son Gongsun Gong and the three daughters of Zhongshan Zhen. But this happy event was diluted a lot by an accident - his eldest son, Gongsun Kang, suffered a brain injury and was in a coma for a whole day and a night before waking up, and now he is still dizzy and headache, and he is dazed from time to time. In modern times, it is called concussion sequelae, and there was no such thing in ancient times, and it was not too much of a problem.
Gongsun Du's face was dark all day. This son is too unpleasant! Snatching horses, speaking cruelly, and then being pursued and raided by horses who don't know their identity...... What is this called?
On the surface, this matter was a misunderstanding, but Gongsun Du didn't think so. Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Ma Han knew the identity of his son, Gongsun Du can conclude that Ma Han knew that this is his son of Gongsun Du, otherwise why only shoot horses and not people? This is clearly a slap in the face without hurting your life, knocking out your teeth and asking you to swallow yourself. What does this horse want to do? If you want to prove that whoever touched his things, he doesn't care about the ruthlessness of the underground?
If this is the case, this person's scheming and methods are inevitably too ruthless. The bad consequences of this incident soon became apparent, and Gongsun Du had already arranged for several children of the Gongsun family and the Yang family to return to Liaoxi with Ma Han and his entourage, and go to Guangcheng to take up the posts of Cheng and Wei. As a result, as soon as Gongsun Kang had an accident, the children of these families were frightened by this uneasy and ruthless guy and resigned one after another.
Gongsun Du's Tiduowo was on fire, and he was also ruthless: This Guangcheng Cheng, Captain, my Gongsun Du is really dispatched, I don't believe that no one dares to be an official. Ma Jinglong! No matter what means you use, it is just a mantis arm as a car, and Liaodong is unified, which is the trend of the times!
A few days ago, Ma Han also came to plead guilty. said that he was willing to double the compensation for 100 good military horses, and gave a lot of gold and jade, saying that it was to suppress the eldest prince. But what made Gongsun angry was that these treasures were all given to Ma Han by himself a few days ago, which was equivalent to passing them over and back, and there was no loss at all.
Annoyed to annoyed, on the surface, Gongsun Du still has to show the generosity of Taishou, after all, he only lost dozens of horses, although he was below his son. All of them were injured, but no one died. As a county guard, you can't turn your face with your senior generals because of dozens of horses, right? On the contrary, in order to entrap his subordinates, Gongsun Du also blamed himself, saying that the control was not strict, and he ordered his son to pull out the throne and cause trouble. Have only oneself to blame.
As a result, Ma Han didn't have anything to do, he still attended the wedding, and the Gongsun family had to greet each other with a smile. Of course. After the news of this incident spread, everyone in Liaodong knew that the future of this cavalry captain was only over, and he could only spend the rest of his life in the poor land of Liaoxi where wolves were dancing in the future.
Of course, all those who think so. They all looked up at Gongsun Du's strength, and also underestimated Ma Hao's ambition.
On the day of the wedding, Ma Han also met the groom Gongsun Gong. This is a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old. He doesn't look too much like Gongsun Du: a round cake face, a pair of inverted eyebrows, bulging eyes, a round nose and thick lips, and a short and fat body. It makes people doubt the aesthetics of Gongsun Du's wife, because although this Gongsun Gong is the second son, he is the son of the main wife, and Gongsun Kang is only the eldest son born to the concubine. Is it really to marry a wife and a virtuous person, and take a concubine?
When Ma Han saw this man, his eyes naturally glanced at his lower body - of course, under the colorful and layered groom's clothes, nothing could be seen. Ma Han couldn't help muttering in his heart, Zheng Gao, don't fool me......
The bride of the Han Dynasty did not have a red hijab, but only a phoenix crown. After getting off the gorgeous carriage, with the support of a group of maids and maids, the gorgeous bride attracted the appreciative eyes of the guests.
The bride's eyes have been lowered, only when passing through a long curved corridor, suddenly seem to have a feeling, cut the water and pupils, and touch one of the guests outside the corridor, immediately tangled, and then reluctant to part. It wasn't until the figure disappeared into the crowd that the bride retracted her gaze in a daze, and walked forward in a daze......
This resentful gaze has been haunting Ma Han's mind, making him ask himself while drinking during the banquet, if Gongsun Gong is not a heavenly eunuch, will he let Zhen Qin marry into Gongsun Mansion? The answer is that if it's just him, he won't; If it was the White Wolf City Guard, he would - he would find an opportunity to destroy his descendants before the second son of Gongsun got married. If you're not a eunuch, I'm going to make you a eunuch too!
It is easy for a person to get drunk when he drinks stuffy, but with the amount of alcohol that Ma Han can pour half a bottle of XO in one go, the alcohol content of Han Dynasty sake is really not enough. So much so that the maid who was holding a long spoon and standing beside the huge bronze wine dome was stunned: this man drank so much that he drank three buckets, and he was not even half drunk?
felt that it was almost over, and the face was given, Ma Han arched his hand to the guests on the left and right tables, and he didn't care whether he recognized him or not, and after saying hello, he walked out of the hall.
Of course, Ma Han did not come alone, Zhou Cang, Wu Chai and a group of wolf tooth flying horses were all present, but their status was low, and they could not feast with Ma Han in the main hall, and could only sit with some ordinary guests or merchants in the side courtyard outside the hall.
From the main hall to the side courtyard, you have to cross a small nine-curved bridge, and under the bridge is a pond, and if you are in the daytime, you can clearly see a large school of fish swimming under the water. But at night, when the moon is dark again, there is basically nothing to be seen.
As soon as Ma Han reached the middle of the bridge, he saw two black shadows in front of him hooking his shoulders and staggering, and he could faintly hear intermittent muttering.
Most of them were drunk people, and Ma Han avoided getting aside. The deck of this curved bridge is not wide, and it can accommodate up to five people in parallel, and the horses avoid the railing, which is enough for two people to pass through the city.
But the moment Ma Han avoided it, he suddenly felt an alarm, because when he leaned sideways, his eyes unintentionally swept back, and he found that there were also two people behind him, walking quickly-when did this bridge become so popular, and five people walked at the same time?
Ma Han is not a suspicious person, but he has been walking on the edge of danger for many years, which makes him careful and attentive everywhere. Sure enough, he had just raised his guard, and the two black shadows in front of him spread out at the moment when they passed him, and their arms were stretched together, grabbing his arms one left and one right.
The night was dark, but it was so close that you could almost hear the rough breathing of the other party. Ma Han saw at a glance that they were actually two tall and majestic Karasuma people, each of whom was no less than the Mughul who was at the corner with Zhou Cang that day. In other words, if Zhou Cang was executed at this time, ten out of ten would have been overturned and fell into the water - unfortunately, these two Karasuma people encountered a perverted guy, and they didn't catch the place, one grabbed the iron arm, and the other grabbed the stone arm, and the result was ......
Ma Han's body sank, and his arms slammed. Two tall Karasuma men were swept up like scarecrows. Poof! Poof! Difficult brothers, at the same time into the water.
The two people behind him had already approached, and they wanted to help pull their hands and feet or something, but they didn't expect to witness a big slamming of living people. The two of them were shocked and hesitated. But they don't get on, and the horses are on it!
The horse rushed forward, spread his arms, grabbed one in one hand, picked it up and threw it into the pond. These two people are also strong soldiers in the army and good horns. But it was ...... by the big hands of Ma Haw's steel No, it's the iron hand that grabs the neck, and even if you struggle to the death, you can't break free at all. I only feel that it is difficult to breathe, like a fish out of water...... And then the body is light, ah! Breathing is easier...... Poof!
Ma Hum threw the four attackers down the pond, but didn't think that was the end of the matter. He quickly turned on the heat source scan. Sure enough, at the end of the curved bridge ahead, in the dark shade of the trees. There are two red dots that are constantly moving backwards. The speed at which they moved was not fast, except for the black light and the blindness, they did not dare to go fast, and because they were sure that they could not find the commander behind the scenes.
However, they were wrong.
Like a panther who has found its target, Ma Han slashed through a black lightning bolt and pounced on the two locked targets.
The two men did not expect a sudden counterattack at all, and rushed to meet the attack. As soon as one person started the stance, he was kicked out ten steps away by a flying kick from the horse, and it was difficult to get up; The other crossed his hands into a cross, grabbed the horse and jumped up, and struck his left arm from top to bottom.
Although Ma Han used his left arm, the left arm strengthened by the mutation, no matter the strength and tenacity, was not something that ordinary people could bear. The man was crushed to the waist like a bow, and his bones clicked all over his body, and finally he couldn't bear it, his feet went weak, he knelt on one knee, and screamed, "Stop, stop...... I'm Gongsun Mo. ”
Ma Han's arm was stunned: "Which Gongsun Mo?" ”
"Liaodong Riding ...... Duwei Gongsun ...... Model! ”
"Who's the other one?"
"Gongsun...... Healthy. ”
Gongsun Kang? Well, that's right, the motivation is reasonable. When Ma Han finally let go, the man was panting, his arms limp, and he was shaking. Ma Han took out the fire and took a picture of it, but he saw that it was a guy about thirty years old, tall and strong, and full of meat.
Ma Han dragged his pouch from the other party's waist, opened it and saw that it was indeed a copper seal "Liaodong Riding Captain".
There are several cavalry captains in Liaodong, and Ma Han is counted as one, but he is not directly under Liaodong, and there are only two cavalry captains who are really directly under Liaodong: Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Mo.
Gongsun Mo is Gongsun Du's subordinate son (nephew), who has been in the army for many years, knows a lot about practice, and is a military confidant that Gongsun Du relies on. Ma Han had heard of this person, but he hadn't seen it, and he didn't expect to meet for the first time, but one was standing, one was kneeling, well, and one was lying on his stomach.
The only three cavalry lieutenants in Liaodong actually met in such a situation, and they had different postures......
Ma Han stepped forward to help up the man who was moaning on his stomach, and it was Gongsun Kang. The head wound has not healed, and there is a stomach injury, and Gongsun Kang's resentment can be imagined.
Looking at the light of the fire, Gongsun Kang's resentful eyes, Ma Han smiled, suddenly let go, Gongsun Kang suddenly lost support, ahhhhhhhh
"You...... You...... cough cough cough ......" Gongsun Kang trembled and pointed at Ma Han, his chest was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.
Gongsun Mo kept rubbing his arms, looking at this person who couldn't move with just one hand. I was also known as a wrestler in the army, but I didn't expect it...... It seems that the rumors are true, this person is indeed brave.
"Eldest son, Gongsun Duwei, if you make this kind of joke again next time, remember to call a few more people, and remember to hide a little better." Ma Han nodded politely to the two cavalry lieutenants, blew out the candle with his mouth open, walked a few steps forward, seemed to remember something, and turned back, "Fortunately, you didn't use your blades this time, otherwise the black light would have blinded...... Hey! Well, this time, I really didn't recognize it as the eldest son. ”
Hearing these words of hidden murder, the two cousins were cold in their hearts, and they couldn't say anything. (To be continued......)
