Chapter 31: Lost and Found

"Stop!" Ning Junshan said angrily, "I'll let you stop, don't you hear it" Ma Xiao didn't pay attention, dragging the corpse straight through the crowd of horses, and several war horses screamed softly and avoided one after another.

"Bring it" As soon as Ning Junshan stretched out his hand, an entourage next to him immediately dismounted and handed over the longbow and quiver on his body.

"Pretending to be deaf and dumb" Ning Junshan is worthy of being a child of the family, since he was a child, under the influence of his fathers, he practiced his skills on the battlefield early, bent the bow and arrows in one go, and the long fingers were loosened, and the arrows went straight to Ma Xiaohou's heart with the sound of breaking the sky.

"Be careful" The octopus reminded in his mind, Ma Xiao was also prepared, and the moment he heard the sound of the arrow, he suddenly squatted down, and the arrow pierced the shoulder, but fortunately, the cotton clothes were thick enough, and only the upper shoulders of the cotton clothes were shot.

Ning Junshan thought that an arrow would be hit, but he knew that the bow was tightened in this winter, and the strength was not as good as usual, but he was dodged by the thief, and he pulled out the arrow and shot again, but found that the other party was sideways, with a lunge under his feet, and his right hand dragged a thin shovel to aim at himself, the bow was not yet full, and the thin shovel flew straight like a javelin like a "woo", the speed was incredible, and in a blink of an eye, it hit his chest in the blink of an eye, and even the person turned off the horse with a bow, fortunately it was a shovel with an elbow, if the javelin had to pierce it.

This scene came suddenly, everyone thought that the thief was killed by an arrow, who knew that he squatted down to dodge the arrow, got up and flew out of a shovel to knock Ning Gongzi off the horse, and several followers behind hurriedly dismounted to help, but in front of him, Ma Xiao in the distance actually galloped over, drilled under the horse's belly, and pounced on Ning Gongzi, and the frightened horse ran away.

A dagger from nowhere in the thief's hand was pressed against Ning Gongzi's neck, and the tip of the knife had already pierced the neck with blood.

This scene made everyone take a breath of cool air, Ning Junshan was also stupid by the other party's fright, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old son of a military general's family, was actually knocked off his horse by a handyman about ten years old, looking at Ma Xiao's angry eyes, Ning Junshan felt that he would put a dagger into his throat at any time, and looked at him in fear and did not dare to speak or move.

"Po Cai Er dare!" Zhu Chengzhi, who was tall and strong, rushed over as soon as he lifted the reins, raised the long whip in his hand and whipped it at Ma Xiao's back. Ma Xiao leaned and rolled to the ground and dodged, and the long whip hit Ning Junshan's face firmly.

Ning Junshan, who was whipped, covered his face and screamed on the ground. Several teenagers hurriedly jumped off the horse to check, and the entourage behind took out a few bottles of external medicine and handed them over, everyone was very nervous, and after a while, Ning Junshan slowly let go of his hand, only to see that the originally bright and handsome face left a deep whip mark from top to bottom, shocking, the wound was bloody and blurred, one eye was closed, the nose was bleeding, and several girls screamed in surprise.

At this time, Zhu Chengzhi was ashamed and angry, snatched a long lance in the hand of his entourage and turned over on the horse, and rushed towards Ma Xiao, "Little beast, you hurt me and hurt Ning Gongzi, I have to kill you today."

Looking at Zhu Chengzhi who came on horseback, Ma Xiao put away the dagger, bent down, stretched his hands forward slightly, stared at the other party tightly, did not run or avoid, and looked like he wanted to fight hand-to-hand with the war horse.

The war horse rushed to the front, Zhu Chengzhi raised the lance with both hands, and slashed down at the head of Ma Xiao who was standing on the ground, the force was extremely fierce, seeing that the lance blade reached the top of his head, Ma Xiaoyi leaned over, and the blade of the lower chop was slashed against the tip of his nose, and his hands grabbed the lance handle steadily as soon as he fished it out like lightning, and his body quickly rotated in place, and the lance handle also turned around, Zhu Chengzhi couldn't hold the rolling lance handle with one hand, and Ma Xiao snatched the lance as soon as his hand was loosened.

Ma Xiao fixed his eyes and saw that this horse lance was the one that killed the grandson of the Zheng family of Chuguo that day, and couldn't help laughing, although he didn't know why Zhu Chengzhi was using it here, but now it is back in his hands again, it is really providential.

Let's say that Zhu Chengzhi originally rushed to kill people to vent his anger, but who knew that even the weapons were taken away, but he brought humiliation on himself, only then did he see that the ragged thief on the ground had two kung fu in his hands, and he didn't step forward again for a while, beckoning to the entourage behind, and more than a dozen entourages stepped forward, some holding swords and halberds and steel forks, some bending bows and arrows, and some pulling out rope sleeves, and surrounded the horses.

"Little brute, I really underestimated you just now, now kneel down and accompany the master, I can spare you from dying" Zhu Chengzhi rode a horse around the circle and said to the horse.

Ma Xiao tore off his cotton hat, took off his heavy cotton clothes, held a halberd and stared at the surrounding cavalry vigilantly, and said an inexplicable word "Xiaoba, look at my back" Everyone didn't understand what he meant, but the octopus in his mind replied in a childish childish voice, "Finally know that I'm useful, hehe", and I don't know when the two had such a tacit understanding, and the octopus, who claims to be the king of heaven, can actually accept the name "Little Eight".

"Brother Chengzhi, and slow down" Fu Liusheng, who had been watching coldly from the beginning, came to the front, took a package from his back, and rummaged in it a few times before pulling out a white silk cloth, which was Ma Xiao's wanted notice, and different from other wanted notices, in addition to the portrait on it, there was also a text, which read: "Reward for the capture of Peiguo Suizhou gang leader Ma Xiao, whoever comes to see the head of the country, will be rewarded with three thousand taels of silver - Uncle Fu Xuan, the capital of the Great Chu State." The words "three thousand taels" on it have also been crossed out, and the small characters "five thousand taels" are fixed next to it, and the portrait is also extremely detailed, so that people can recognize at a glance that this is Ma Xiao, and it seems that it is the original notice brought out from Chuguo.

"Brother Chengzhi, look, it's this person," Fu Liusheng said.

Zhu Chengzhi took the silk cloth and glanced back and forth at the portrait and Ma Xiao, "It's really him." With a wave of his hand, the cavalry entourage surrounding Ma Xiao made way for him, and Zhu Chengzhi and Fu Liusheng entered the circle and asked Ma Xiao, who was on full guard on the ground, "Are you Ma Xiao on this notice?"

"Hmph, exactly!" Ma Xiao didn't look at it and knew that this notice was a reward for himself, and he didn't deny it.

"Did you kill Zheng Feilong?" asked Zhu Chengzhi again.

"That's right, this horse lance is the uncle, I paid it from the Zheng family's grandson" I heard Zhu Chengzhi call himself a master before, and Ma Xiao had to call himself an uncle, "What are you talking about, don't you have the courage to fight with me?"

The two were speechless for a while, this Zhu Chengzhi is different from several other family children, his father Zhu Dacheng is reckless, under Ning Zongrui relied on military merits to get up little by little, so his family is not like Ning Junshan and Fu Liusheng two people have a family heirloom martial arts weapon, this exquisite horse lance was when Zhang Tong first arrived in Taizhou City, in order to please the city guard specially given to Ning Chengshou, and his father Zhu Dacheng is Ning Chengshou's favorite general, so he transferred it to his father, and finally came to his own hands, so he knew the origin of this weapon, and when he saw that the person who paid the army was in front of him, he couldn't help but be unconvinced, thinking that what he said just now about the Yanling knife is also true, although this Zhu Chengzhi usually acts recklessly, but he inherited his father's rectal character, and felt that others were justified, so he lost the killing momentum just now.

And Fu Liusheng is even more different from several others, dressed elegantly as a scholar, and usually has to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, this wanted notice is handed over by his father's soldiers on the Chu thief, the dignified Chu Guoguo uncle actually offered a reward for a gang of soldiers, and found this matter interesting, so he collected the notice, but he didn't expect to accidentally meet the person on the portrait today, this person is so young, and his behavior is even more bizarre, and usually see those who are either dull and numb, or flattery, The subordinates who are extremely flattering are completely different, and they suddenly became interested.

At this moment, Ning Junshan in the distance stood up, he pushed everyone away, regardless of the injury, he pulled his bow and arrow again and shot at Ma Xiao, but unfortunately one eye was injured, the pain on his face was unbearable, and at this time, he was full of desire for revenge, his breath was impetuous, and an arrow shot crookedly into the leg of a cavalryman, and the war horse ran with a long roar under the pain. Ning Junshan was so angry that he shot two arrows in a row, all of them were crooked, Ma Xiao stood on the ground and didn't move, he didn't take the young master's archery skills in his eyes at all, and the angry Ning Junshan grabbed the steel fork of an entourage and attacked Ma Xiao, "I don't know the thickness of the sky, the lowly bastard, I ruined my face, I have to divide your body with a plowman."

Ma Xiaoxiao took the battle posture of the soldiers in the school yard at the beginning, took a step forward with his left foot, and the blade of the horse lance was obliquely upward towards Ning Junshan, who was rushing towards him, Zhu Chengzhi and Fu Liusheng, as well as the surrounding cavalry entourage, all knew the temper of this son, and no one could stop him from launching a madness, and his foot combat skills were very powerful, and several adult soldiers were not his opponents at the same time, so they simply avoided it from afar, so as not to be angry.

Although this Ning Junshan was only sixteen years old, he was more than seven feet long, with wide shoulders and a wide body, much smaller and taller than a horse.

"You are not sure that he will win now, besides, he is the son of Taishou, if you kill him today, we will not only be wanted by the Chu army, but I am afraid that even the Pei army will want you in the future." I remembered Xiaoba's voice in my mind, this guy can read his thoughts and memories at any time, like a roundworm in his stomach, extremely annoying, but at this moment he analyzed it well, if he killed Ning Junshan today, I am afraid that there will be no place to stand in the future, seeing that the other party is still carrying weapons to the front, Ma Xiao began to hesitate, he has only learned the art of killing, in order to use the shortest time and the most accurate attack to kill the opponent, but he will not see the move, in case of an emergency, the body will automatically react, but he can't control it with reason。

"Don't worry, I'll leave this to me, you don't have to bother thinking about how to dismantle his moves, just avoid him at the last minute and knock him down."

"Oh, what can you do?" asked Ma Xiao suspiciously.

"Hmph, let you see the ability of this king, and see if you dare to look down on me in the future," Hachi said proudly.
