Not far away, Ma Xiaoquan's carriage was slowly approaching. When the young man saw the carriage, he suddenly tightened his grip on the hilt of his knife.
"General Gato..."
The young man glanced down and said, "Ma Xiaoquan, you are finally here. I must avenge my brother." After that, the man turned around and entered the city gate, and ordered the gate to be closed tightly.
The carriage arrived at the city gate and stopped. Ma Xiaoquan jumped off the carriage and looked up. They were all Jurchen soldiers, and everyone looked serious.
"Haha, this is your Khan's approval. Please open the city gate, I want to go in." Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile.
The guard took the approval document and without even looking at it, he tore it into pieces and threw it on the ground.
"You, you are so brave, you dare to tear up the approval document of your Khan?"
The guard sneered and spoke Jurchen language. Ma Xiaoquan couldn't understand it, but judging from the guard's expression, he was swearing.
Ma Xiaoquan's face darkened, but then he laughed again: "It seems that someone is deliberately making things difficult for me, haha..." Ma Xiaoquan said, and simply turned around and got into the carriage.
In the carriage, Bei Mingshuangxue was so angry that she looked at her mouth and said: "Mr. sir, can you bear it like this? Look at that guy, he is really bad. If it were me, I would have asked my friends to suck his blood dry.
Yes, hum~"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "We are guests. When we come here, you can't do anything random. Otherwise, your husband and I may really be put in charge of my life here."
Upon hearing this, Beiming Shuangxue nodded quickly: "Don't worry, sir, I promise you that I won't do anything to cause trouble, hehe~"
...
An hour later, Ma Xiaoquan jumped off the carriage and ran to the wall to urinate. Suddenly, someone threw a stone at him on the wall, almost hitting Ma Xiaoquan who was urinating.
Fortunately, Ma Xiaoquan "stopped" in time, but it was really unpleasant to suddenly stop while he was peeing.
Looking up, he saw a young man looking at him proudly.
Ma Xiaoquan recognized who the man was at a glance. He looked somewhat similar to the dead Batu, but the childishness on his face had not completely disappeared. Well, it should be Batu's younger brother Cato.
Before coming, Ma Xiaoquan did some homework, including the deeds and personal information of Batu's younger brother Cato. Although it is not as dazzling as his brother Batu, given time, Cato should not be inferior to his brother Batu.
"Oh, it's Cato, what's going on, are you making fun of me?" Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile, pulling up his pants.
Cato on the city wall looked at Ma Xiaoquan angrily, and after a long while he said in blunt Chinese: "Ma Xiaoquan, you killed my brother, how dare you come to die?"
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged and said, "What do you mean by killing your brother? No one has eyes for things on the battlefield. If I were beaten to death by your brother, I think you would be dancing for joy."
"But you are not dead, but my brother is dead, and you cut off his head. Where is my brother's body? Give it back to me!"
"This..." Ma Xiaoquan was a little embarrassed. Batu was killed in the bombing. When his body was found, his lower body was incomplete. Even if it was returned, it should be returned as a whole body. Besides, at that time,
I didn't think of keeping Batu's body, I'm afraid it would have been burned together with the corpses of the dead Jurchen soldiers.
"I have sent someone to bury your brother," Ma Xiaoquan lied.
"You're lying~" Cato saw through Ma Xiaoquan's lie at a glance, "We Jurchens don't bury people. Wherever we die in battle, our bodies will be left."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "That's you. We Han people have to collect the body. Besides, I respect your brother as a man, so I buried him generously. According to our custom, we generally cremate those we respect."
I have to say that Ma Xiaoquan is very good at deceiving. Cato was originally a young man and his experience was not as rich as Ma Xiaoquan. When Ma Xiaoquan said this, he was a little at a loss.
There was no one around Cato to give him advice, so he couldn't answer for a long time.
Ma Xiaoquan also saw Cato's weakness and said with a smile: "If you want your brother's ashes, I can write a letter back and have them delivered."
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan said these words, Cato lost his mind even more.
At this moment, a man ran up to Cato and whispered a few words in his ear.
Cato was stunned, looked down at Ma Xiaoquan, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Ma Xiaoquan, you liar, my brother was killed by a bomb, where did you get his ashes?"
This time it was Ma Xiaoquan's turn to be stunned, but he was still a veteran after all. He chuckled and said: "It's true that he was killed by the explosion. And let me tell you the truth, it was not me who killed him, it was your brother."
You are asking for trouble."
Cato shook his head: "I won't listen to anything you say. Someone, shoot me an arrow and shoot that thief Han Ma Xiaoquan to death."
After giving the order, the Jurchen soldiers on the city wall drew their bows and arrows and shot arrows at Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan was shocked. This stupid Cato really shot an arrow.
Without saying anything, Ma Xiaoquan ran out holding his head.
Ma Xiaoquan did not run to the carriage because he was worried about Beiming Shuangxue on the carriage.
After running about ten meters, no more arrows were fired from the city wall. Ma Xiaoquan turned around and saw that Cato shamelessly sent people to surround his carriage. Several Jurchen soldiers saw Bei sitting in the carriage.
Ming Shuangxue was attracted by her stunning and peerless appearance and screamed wildly.
Ma Xiaoquan got angry, ran back, rushed forward and knocked two Jurchen soldiers to the ground with one punch. The next moment, the remaining Jurchen soldiers had drawn their scimitars and surrounded him.
Without Cato's order, no one dared to take action against Ma Xiaoquan. Cato had also received orders from the Great Khan Huang Taiji before, so he could not give orders for the soldiers to take action against Ma Xiaoquan.
The two Jurchen soldiers who had been knocked to the ground by Ma Xiaoquan stood up and looked at Cato angrily.
These are all members of Cato's clan. If Cato doesn't regain some ground, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain when he returns.
"Ma Xiaoquan, do you dare to fight with me?" Cato on the city wall suddenly shouted.
Ma Xiaoquan's eyes widened and he thought, I am here to do things, not to fight with you. Why are you Jurchens so barbaric?
"Uh, why?"
Cato thought for a while and said: "If you can beat me, I will let you enter Shenyang City to meet the Great Khan!"
Ma Xiaoquan cursed me in his heart, but on the surface he said: "I am here to discuss things with you Khan, not to fight with you. Besides, I can't beat you!"
It wasn't that Ma Xiaoquan really couldn't defeat Cato, he just didn't want to engage in unnecessary fighting. The real purpose of his trip was to meet and discuss things with Gu Qingmei, so he just gave in.
Cato was stunned and said: "You haven't fought me yet, so why do you say you can't beat me? You are evading. According to you Han people, you are evading responsibility."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed, raised his head and shouted to Cato: "Since you say I evade responsibility, then let it be."
Cato was dissatisfied and said: "No, you must fight with me today, life or death!"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed. It seems that this fight is inevitable. You, Gato, can live or die, but do you think I, Ma Xiaoquan, will beat you to death? If I beat you to death, then I won’t tell you.
Here?
"Since you said that, I won't say anything else. Okay, where is the location?"
Cato pointed to the open space at the city gate: "That's where we have a wrestling match."
Most people don't think there's anything scary when they hear about wrestling, but among the Jurchens, those who can wrestle and become famous are usually Batulu, that is, warriors.
Gato's elder brother Batu is Batulu. Gato has not yet participated in wrestling because of his age.
Laymen think that wrestling is just a sport of strength competition, but in fact, there have been too many deaths among the Jurchen people due to wrestling.
Wrestling is an advantageous sport for the Jurchen people, while the Han people have no advantage at all in wrestling.
Ma Xiaoquan knew what Cato was thinking, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only nodded and agreed.
The Jurchen soldiers screamed from the city wall, and everyone was looking forward to a wrestling match between Cato and Ma Xiaoquan.
Cato jumped off the city wall with great enthusiasm and landed cleanly.
The city wall is quite high, and ordinary people would not dare to jump from it. But looking at Cato's light movements and steps when he jumped down, Ma Xiaoquan knew that if Cato was more mature, he would definitely be better than his dead brother Ba
The picture is much more powerful.
"Ma Xiaoquan, are you ready?" Cato stood in the open space in front of the city gate and said with a smile as he geared up.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed: "Since you want to wrestle so much, then come on, but when we wrestle, there should be some rules, right? You can't just pull out the scimitar from your waist and stab me while you're wrestling, right?"
Cato was stunned for a moment, touched the scimitar at his waist, laughed and took it off and threw it aside: "Of course I can't. If I want to win against you, I don't need a knife."
Ma Xiaoquan sneered in his heart, "You don't need a knife, and you won't have a chance to regret it for a while, huh~"
...
Although Cato is younger and smaller, he is not small. Ma Xiaoquan visually estimated that he should have grown to over 1.9 meters. With such a height, coupled with his big and round body, if Ma Xiaoquan wanted to confront him head-on, it would be tantamount to
An egg hits a stone.
There is an unwritten rule in wrestling, that is, you cannot play dirty tricks. Of course, even if Cato tries dirty tricks, Ma Xiaoquan will take precautions.
Under normal circumstances, a person with a relatively small stature will never be able to win against a person who is stronger than him. This is why among the Jurchens, Baturu is usually a tall person.
The two of them got into a stance, and Gato screamed and rushed towards Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan frowned and turned to one side, successfully evading Cato's attack.
Cato was not discouraged. He turned around and reached down. His right hand was like a long hook and went straight to hook Ma Xiaoquan's left ankle.
How could Ma Xiaoquan not know Cato's intention to attack? He jumped up and once again avoided Cato's hook. Then, Ma Xiaoquan stepped up to Cato's wrist with both feet.
