A young but very clever halberd soldier next to him hurriedly said: "We just came out to patrol the sentry, no one should believe it, we should go and report to Taishou quickly!"

The team leader was indeed right when he heard it, no matter who was true or who was false, at least he couldn't lose his responsibilities as a group.

Zhang Jiu chased after Tao Dai for a while with the back of Tao Dai, not to mention that he had been delayed for a while, no matter how fast the human legs ran, it was impossible to catch up with the horses.

Seeing that Tao Dai's figure had gradually blurred, the four of them stopped, and after a long pant of breath, one of the guards asked, "How can we catch up with the fast horse he is riding?"

Zhang Jiu's thoughts were racing, and he hurriedly turned around and said to the guard who had been held hostage by Tao Dai and stabbed with a sword earlier: "Let's continue to chase, you go back to the house to report the details of the son!"

The guards hurriedly nodded and ran towards the Taishou Mansion, and the remaining three walked slowly for a while before chasing in the direction Tao Dai had left.

"It's long gone, where should we find it?" one of the guards asked, looking at Zhang Jiu.

Tao Dai, who could have fled immediately, even came back to kill one of his guards regardless of his life because he saw Yuan Ze being killed, which shows that Tao Dai is jealous and hateful, and he will take revenge! Looking at today, the only way to get a chance for revenge is to go to Fang Jie, who is about to lead a large army to attack the city!

"He fled all the way to the south, and nine times out of ten he ran to the south gate to flee to the enemy, so we just chased him to the south gate!" Zhang Jiu said after thinking about it.

After running forward for a while, Zhang Jiu suddenly had an idea and said: "You two go to the east and west gates separately, beware of Tao Dai pretending to go to the south gate, and actually transferring the tiger away from the mountain to take the east and west gates!"

The two guards who followed him did not act immediately after hearing this, but asked rhetorically, "What about the north gate?"

"Don't worry about the north gate! He can't take such a long detour to the north gate, it's too dangerous for him!" Zhang Jiu directly denied.

The two guards nodded, and in a flash they ran to the east and west gates on the left and right.

The guards who received Zhang Jiu's instructions quickly returned to the Taishou Mansion, he removed the black scarf on his face as early as halfway through, and when he entered the hall, it happened that Ma Zhu was pretending to burn paper in front of Ma Zhong's spirit, and other civil and military officers were also beside him.

Originally, this kind of assassination was not to be publicized, but the situation was too urgent, and the guards had to report it as soon as possible.

Ma Zhu, who was burning paper, saw the guards rushing in, and directly startled him, thinking that the matter of sending someone to assassinate Tao Dai would be revealed on the spot.

But Ma Zhu was worried about this, and the guards who rushed into the hall in a hurry were not stupid, of course he understood the truth, and after entering the hall, the guards knelt on the ground and reported: "Qi Yu Gongzi!

Ma Zhu breathed a sigh of relief on the spot, it was good that he didn't show his stuffing! He smiled apologetically at the civil and military forces on both sides and stood up, and the guards lowered their heads and followed him to the back hall.

As soon as he entered the house, the guard knelt on the ground and said: "Qi Yu Gongzi, my brother six people were ordered to observe Tao Dai, Gongzi ordered to enter when he was alive, who knew that a black shadow came over the wall at four o'clock, I knew that there must be something strange in this, so I entered Tao Dai's house early, who knew that the person who climbed over the wall and entered was General Yuan Ze, and the two talked in the hall......"

After listening to the guard's report, Ma Zhu was so frightened that he screamed on the spot, and hurriedly asked, "Yuan Ze also knows?!"

"Don't worry, Childe, we have already killed Yuan Ze, like this, this and this......" The guard recounted the details of the assassination of Tao Dai and Yuan Ze at that time.

At this time, the group of officers and soldiers who had just patrolled the guard also arrived outside the Taishou Mansion, and after the team leader and the guards at the gate knew that there was something important, they asked the others to wait outside, and they entered the hall by themselves.

When he saw a mourning scene in the hall, and then looked at the spiritual seat on the mourning hall, which was written "Youling County Taishou Ma Zhong Spiritual Position", the team leader was stunned for a moment, only to feel that his brain was buzzing, as if he had been knocked on a stick!

After that, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and then asked one of the generals guarding the spirit in the mourning hall: "Dare to ask the general, this is ......?"

The military general thinks that he is a general after all, how can he answer you as a little sentry captain? He directly asked, "What are you doing here?"

The team leader reacted at this time, and he hurriedly said: "I have something important to tell Taishou, but I don't know that Taishou has ...... Why is it that we don't know what is going on?"

When the military general learned that the captain had something important to report, he didn't dare to go too far, so he said: "Now Zhu Gongzi is in charge of the affairs of the county, and you can report to him if you have something." ”

After speaking, he beckoned to the attendant and asked him to go to the back hall to return to Ma Zhu, the attendant nodded and walked to the back hall, and after a short time, he came back and waved to the team leader and said, "Childe let you in." ”

The team leader hurriedly stood up and followed, and after entering the back hall, he saw a man dressed in black kneeling in front of Ma Zhu, and the team leader hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Qi Yu Gongzi, I was patrolling the sentry outside, and I met Zhonglang General Tao Dai, and then this and so and so ......."

In fact, before he came in, the guards had already said everything at that time, and now the reports on both sides made Ma Zhu angry, and he was able to successfully kill Tao Dai secretly, but he didn't expect this to become his trump card that could escape smoothly!

At this time, Ma Zhu wanted to kill the patrol captain who had ruined his good deeds, but he knew that he had just received the order, and he should win the hearts of the people before he could stand his ground, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart, patted the squad leader on the shoulder and said: "Tao Dai did defect, but you didn't know about it at the time, so I don't blame you, you did a good job." ”

When the team leader heard his first words, he chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart: This is bad! I actually chose to help the rebel general, it seems that I can't get out today!

But when Ma Zhu finished the whole sentence, he was moved by the team leader: It turns out that Zhu Gongzi is not like the legend!

The squad leader thanked him with his head and exited the Taishou Mansion.

In order to make everyone believe that it was indeed Tao Dai who defected, Ma Zhu led the guards back to the mourning hall, and made up a story to tell everyone again.

Ma Zhu asked the guards to retreat and bandage the wounds, and then said to the generals present: "General Liu, please immediately lead the men and horses to the northern city, even if you can't stop Tao Dai, you must go out of the city to chase him down!"

The military general surnamed Liu nodded and took the order, and walked out of the house with his waist in his hand.

After that, Ma Zhu ordered another general: "General Sun, please take fifty warriors to Yuan Ze's house......"

"Kill all the people in his family!" General Sun didn't wait for Ma Zhu to finish speaking, he stood up directly and said angrily.

"When you are in danger of the mausoleum, you actually defect with others, and you must not tolerate the traitors, and you will not be left behind along with the slaves of the Tao Yue Mountain family!" Ma Zhu nodded fiercely, and the viciousness of his approach was exactly the same as that of Ma Zhong.
