Chapter 412, fighting wits but not strength
Tang Jiusheng and the three of them defeated Ma Kui and the dead soldiers of the Ma family he brought, and drove the carriage on the road, Ma Yuanlu fell in the car, and his heart was cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Just now he heard Ma Kui shouting outside the car, he couldn't help him, and shouted to him to rest assured, he would definitely save him. Ma Yuanlu knew that it was over, and it was obvious that his own dead soldiers had never beaten these three people! More than 40 dead soldiers had never beaten three people, so how high were the martial arts of these three people? Ma Yuanlu could not imagine.
The fat man shook his head triumphantly, "Old Tang, after the battle just now, the fat man found that his martial arts were getting more and more awesome, just like a tiger entering a flock!"
Xiahou Lingyu smiled slightly when she heard this, and teased: "Fat master, you are really too modest! You should have the strength to compete for the first place in the world!"
Tang Jiusheng laughed and said: "Yes, yes, I also know that 'in time', the fat brother has improved!, but you still have to work hard, defeat the old brother Tang first, and then consider entering the top ten on the hero list!"
The fat man said deflatedly: "Old Tang, can you praise my buddy? Pour cold water at every turn, and give my buddy a little encouragement!"
Tang Jiusheng smiled and patted the fat man's back with the scabbard, and sneered: "Out of breath! I can't stand these two sentences? It's too glassy! I thought you would become more and more courageous, but how do you know that you will be cowardly just after a setback! With this psychological endurance, you still want to be in the top three in the world? I heard that Uncle Luo Fengyang has been defeated dozens of times before and after, but he is not discouraged, and finally reached the top three in the world. ”
The fat man nodded and said: "Okay, for the sake of you reading more than the fat man, your martial arts are higher than the fat man, and the official is bigger than the fat man, I will listen to you! Alas, I don't know how Yulong Xingkong and their three sisters are doing now, the fat man misses my two wives! Without a daughter-in-law by his side, he is lonely!" Tang Jiusheng laughed and scolded the fat man for being unproductive.
It turned out that a few days ago, Yulong Xingkong, Su Qiuman, and Su Yiwen sisters had been sent to Xuantong County by Tang Jiusheng, Xuantong County was Du Ruo's fiefdom, and it was easy to do things before he could master it all, so Yulong Xingkong went to Xuantong County with two hundred cavalry as envoys to King Wei and the princess, and then Shui Rulong rushed to Xuantong County before Tang Jiusheng set off, ready to send troops to reinforce Tang Jiusheng at any time, that was because Yulong Xingkong had already laid a good foundation in the early stage.
And after Song Yulan arrived in Anshu County with the team, she missed her grandfather very much, so she rushed back to Huzhou to visit her grandfather Song Qingqing. Song Qingqing was left in Huzhou Mansion by Tang Jiusheng, responsible for guiding and supervising the production of weapons, Song Yulan rushed to Huzhou to visit her grandfather, and secondly, to assist the fat man's eldest cousin to come back to Huzhou and others, after all, the current team of Weiwang Mansion is mainly Tang Jiusheng's relatives and friends.
In the initial stage of insufficient strength, this kind of team that relies on family and friendship to maintain is easy to form a strong cohesion. At least Tang Jiusheng didn't have to be afraid of Gao Chongyang, Sun Jiangdong, Fat Man, Chonglai, Yulong Xingkong and Shui Ruyue and others betraying him. Just like Emperor Yin Guang was not afraid that Tang Fulong, Tang Jiusheng and Yang Jingzhong, Guo Chong, Jiang Yongchun and others would betray him. Although Yin Guang and Yang Jingzhong have a big contradiction, they will still report to each other to keep warm.
When Ma Kui led more than 20 dead soldiers and dozens of villagers to report back to Majiazhuang with a disgraced face, Ma Yuanlu's father Ma Hongwen was drinking tea and playing chess with the big housekeeper Ma Xiangdong in the study. When Ma Hongwen saw Ma Kui's grizzled face when he rushed to the study, he knew that something was wrong. Ma Hongwen originally thought about Ma Kui
Led these dead soldiers to easily deal with three robbers, but I didn't expect them to lose so badly!
Ma Kui entered the study, knelt down in front of Ma Hongwen, and cried silently, "The old master, it's Ma Kui who is useless! With so many brothers, he couldn't save the eldest young master, and he also made trouble with the loss of soldiers, Ma Kui is a capital crime!"
Ma Hongwen gasped, muttered for a long time, and asked in a deep voice: "Ma Kui, don't be in a hurry to cry first, you say slowly, what is the image of these three robbers? Could it be the extremely famous Jiangyang thief?"
Ma Kui shook his head, "The old master, those three people are all extremely young, it seems that none of them are more than seventeen years old, I also asked them who they are, the handsome boy surnamed Sheng refused to say, and later when the dead fat man killed Zhuang Ke, he said that he was the general of the Weiwang Mansion!"
Ma Hongwen's heart flipped over, and he couldn't help but glance at Ma Xiangdong, the chief butler, and then asked Ma Kui again: "Ma Kui, are you sure that the fat man is not lying?
Ma Kui nodded and said: "The Zhuang guests all said so, saying that when the fat man was killing proudly, he said it himself, it seems that it should not be fake! Among the three people, the kid surnamed Sheng has the lowest martial arts, but he seems to be the leader of these three people, and those two people listen to him." ”
Ma Hongwen was anxious in his heart, and he had no intention of playing chess, so he threw the chess pieces back into the chess box and sat on the chair in a daze.
Ma Xiangdong, the big butler who had been silent, held a white child in his hand, and suddenly said: "Old Zhuang Master, these three people should be from the Wei Wang's Mansion, and their goal should be Young Master Teng Jiao, taking the eldest young master away is purely to kill two birds with one stone, by bringing down the eldest young master to cut off the right hand of Young Master Teng Jiao, this Wei Wang Tang Jiusheng is so poisonous!"
Ye Tengjiao is Ma Hongwen's nephew, so the people in Majiazhuang call Ye Tengjiao Young Master Tengjiao. Ma Kui knelt on the ground and wiped his tears, and when he heard Ma Xiangdong say this, he raised his head and asked: "Brother Xiangdong, what do you say about this? With the strength of our village, it is definitely not enough to fight with the Wei Wangfu! There are so many of us, and we can't even handle three of them!"
Ma Xiangdong sneered, "These three people must be super masters of the Weiwang Mansion, otherwise how could Tang Jiusheng send them to deal with Young Master Tengjiao? We mistakenly thought that these three people were the Jiang Yang thieves who came to kidnap the ticket and ask for ransom, so we underestimated the enemy! If we had known that this was the case, and we would have had a chance of winning if we had carried a strong bow and a crossbow to fight!"
Ma Kui suddenly remembered that the fat man was invulnerable, shook his head and said: "That fat man with a double hammer is extremely brave, with a sword, gun and axe, but there is no scar on his body, I am afraid that he has practiced the horizontal kung fu of wearing a golden bell hood iron cloth shirt!"
Ma Xiangdong heard that the fat man used a double hammer and was invulnerable, he was surprised at first, then he understood, nodded and smiled: "I know who this fat man is." Last month, when I went to the county guard mansion to congratulate Young Master Teng Jiao on the Mid-Autumn Festival, he mentioned that Tang Jiusheng had Jiang Zhenyu by his side, the son of Jiangling General Jiang Yongchun, who was born invulnerable to martial arts and weapons, and used a pair of sledgehammers, which was extremely difficult to deal with, so it must be him! Hey, I didn't expect Tang Jiusheng to even send him!"
Ma Hongwen, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head and asked, "The old man's heart is like numbness! Xiangdong, what do you say about this? Let's organize people to carry strong bows and crossbows and pursue them again?"
Ma Xiangdong pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "The old master, send someone to chase after him."
It's useless once, the eldest young master is now in the hands of others, let's throw a mouse bogey, in case they kill the eldest young master in a fit of anger...... Our mission is to save the eldest young master alive, not to entangle with them. Therefore, we must inform Young Master Teng Jiao of this matter first, so that he can prepare early!"
Ma Hongwen let out a long sigh and leaned back on the chair, "That's the only way! Our temple is too small, we can't invite the Great Bodhisattva! So those masters, high-ranking masters don't come to our village, so far in addition to Ma Kui, we only have two four-grade masters, dealing with a behemoth like Weiwangfu, it's just a drop in the bucket, and it doesn't help!"
Ma Xiangdong sneered, "Fighting wits is not strength! Since our strength is not as good as others, we must not fight hard! But we still have to prepare for a surprise attack, this time we have to bring a bow and crossbow poison and something like that, if we can get away with it, of course it is good, if we can't save it, we will withdraw with a false shot, the main purpose of this time is to paralyze them, let them relax their vigilance, and hand over the next things to Young Master Tengjiao!"
Ma Kui volunteered: "In this case, I will personally go to see Young Master Tengjiao to report the news!"
Ma Xiangdong laughed and pointed at Ma Kui with his finger, "I said Erkui, your heart is good, but why are you so sincere? They are also going in the direction of Jianzhou, maybe they will ambush our people who rushed to Jianzhou to report the news on the road! If there is a shortcut, take the stupidest road? You still organize a group of men and horses, bring strong bows and crossbows to chase these three people, and after releasing the arrows, if they see that the situation is not right, they will withdraw immediately, and they are not allowed to fight, our goal is to paralyze them." Did you hear that?"
Ma Kui agreed, stood up, went out and counted a total of seventy-three dead soldiers and villagers, and rode after Tang Jiusheng and the others again. Ma Kui and the others delayed time back and forth, Tang Jiusheng and the three of them had already walked out for thirty miles, but Tang Jiusheng and they had a carriage, and the speed was not fast, otherwise they would really not be able to catch up!
Tang Jiusheng and the three of them were escorting the carriage to walk, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and when they looked back, Ma Kui came up with the horse team again, good guy, this time he didn't come empty-handed, and he also brought a strong bow and a hard crossbow, Cheng Zifei still quietly let go of Ma Kui's horse team, Cheng Zifei knew that the prince and the fat man plus the Xiahou girl were enough to deal with these people, and he didn't want to expose his identity too early.
The fat man turned around, saw that Ma Kui was chasing after him again, and sneered, "It seems that Ma Kui has itchy skin, and he has to ask the fat man to give him a comfortable skin!"
Ma Kui gritted his teeth, and wanted to fight again, try to see if he could be ashamed of the snow, when he was still dozens of steps away from the fat man, Ma Kui waved his hand, "Release the arrow!" Strong bow and crossbow, the rain of arrows shot at the fat man like a locust, and the fat man slashed the sledgehammer like a windmill, protecting his people and his horses, and those arrows were knocked open by the fat man. Ma Kui sneered, "Lao Tzu see how long you can last!"
The fat man caught the horse's belly between his legs, urged the horse forward, and charged at Ma Kui and others in the rain of arrows, those dead soldiers and Zhuang Ke were panicked, they had suffered the fat man's loss before, and knew that this goods were not easy to provoke, and before Ma Kui shouted, those Zhuang Ke and the dead men had already scattered and fled! Ma Kui couldn't stop drinking, and quickly turned around and ran for his life, the fat man and the horse were fast, and the two Zhuang Ke who reacted more slowly smashed the people and horses into meat cakes, and Ma Kui led the people to rout.
Tang Jiusheng shouted to the fat man, there is no need to entangle with these people, it is important to hurry.
