Summary of the previous chapter: Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie sent the immortal Hou Ma Xiaoquan to the front line immediately to express condolences to Prime Minister Cao Cao...
At the end of September in the 16th year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty (AD 211), Ma Xiaoquan set off for the front line alone.
At this time, Cao Cao and Han Sui Ma Chao were in a state of stalemate and ambiguity. Han Sui and Ma Chao wanted to take down Cao Cao in one fell swoop, but Cao Cao never took the initiative to attack and always stood firm, intending to kill the opponent.
On the night of the last day of September, Xu Huangbu.
Two strong men walked up to Ma Zheng and got close to Xiao Ma Zheng enthusiastically.
Ma Zheng is only a ten-year-old child. Children of this age are interested in everything. The two of them have kind faces, humorous language, and speak Yecheng dialect. Unknowingly, Ma Zheng also talks more.
When the two men saw Ma Zheng asking this and that, they started talking about storytelling nonstop.
Soon, more soldiers gathered around to listen to the storytelling.
The two looked at each other, smiled bitterly in their hearts, and continued talking.
After an hour, all the soldiers were a little tired and slowly began to disperse.
Ma was about to go back to the camp to sleep when a hand held him.
"Huh? Brother Liu, what's the matter?"
"Oh, haha..." A guy named Liu who was one of the storytellers just now said with a smile, "Ma Zheng, I heard that you are the son of Shenxian Hou?"
Ma Zheng nodded: "Yes"
"Oh. You are so young, how can your father have the heart to put you in a military camp?"
Ma Zheng smiled and said, "My father said this is a training for me."
After Ma Zheng finished speaking, he twisted slightly and broke away from the man's grasp.
Looking at the small figure of Ma Zheng entering the tent, another person came up and whispered: "It's almost done. How about it? Let's trick that kid out later and then kill him."
The person named Liu whispered: "I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate."
"What's wrong?"
"He is the son of the Immortal Marquis."
"What about the son of the Immortal Marquis? He will still have to die."
"You don't understand what I mean. I mean this guy can kill, but we have to do it in a hidden way. Have you forgotten what our mission is?"
"Well, okay, then wait for another half hour. After half an hour, you will trick him out. We will kill him after we leave the camp."
"OK"
...
Half an hour passed quickly, and after the two exchanged a few words together, the guy named Liu quietly opened the tent where Ma Zheng was sleeping and got in.
There were many night watchmen in Xu Huang's camp, working in several shifts almost around the clock. As soon as the guy surnamed Liu opened his tent, a soldier on the night watch saw him and came over and asked: "Liu Zi, what are you doing? This is not your sleep."
The camp?"
"Oh, no, no, I'm looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for so late?"
"Look for Ma Zheng. This guy took a copper coin from me today. I want to ask him for it back."
"A copper coin? Are you kidding me? Ma is the son of Shenxian Hou. Do you still need this copper coin?"
"Oh, you don't know something. There is my woman's scent on the copper coins. If I can't smell it, I won't be able to sleep, hehe..."
The soldier on guard at night chuckled and cursed: "Damn it, hurry up then."
"Oh, okay"
Opening the tent curtain, Ma Zheng was sleeping soundly. Liu Zi walked up to Ma Zheng and wanted to pull out a dagger and stab Ma Zheng to death on the spot, but... the night watch soldier behind him stared at him intently.
I looked like I was guarding against thieves.
There was nothing he could do about it. Xu Huang knew that Ma Zheng was the son of the immortal Hou Ma Xiaoquan. Although he let the boy train, he was afraid that he would make any mistakes, so he specially designated someone to watch Ma Zheng.
"Hey" Liu Zi's evil idea didn't work, so he had to pat Ma Zheng gently.
"Huh?" Ma Zheng was suddenly awakened from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes and saw a familiar face in the dim oil light.
"Brother Liu"
Liu Zi smiled and whispered: "Ma Zheng, there is something fun, do you want to play it?"
"Fun, what's fun?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Get up now and cooperate with me. We can get out of the camp."
After all, Ma Zheng was very young and very curious. He sounded like it was fun. He nodded quickly, put on his clothes and trousers hastily, and followed Liu Zi out of the tent.
"Hey" outside the door, the soldier watching the night saw Liu Zi and Ma Zhengyi coming out together, and said hurriedly: "Liu Zi, what are you doing?"
Liu Zi smiled and said: "Nothing, Ma Zheng said he wanted to pee, I will go with him."
The night guard soldier said: "I'm going to pee too."
"Oh, let's just pee. What are you talking about? We'll be fine soon."
"Well, okay, then I'll go over there to pee, and you guys should come back quickly."
Liu Zi nodded.
The soldier who was watching the night curled his lips and walked to a tree. Just as he was about to take out his crotch and say something, he felt a chill on his neck. Before he could say anything, he had lost his voice.
On the other side, Liu Zi and Ma Zheng dodged left and right and got out of the camp smoothly.
Liu Zi was very proud. For this plan, he and another person visited all the vigil points in the camp, otherwise it would not have gone so smoothly.
As for Ma Zheng, while he was surprised, he also burst out with a hint of alertness.
Ma Xiaoquan once taught Ma Zheng: There is no wall that will never leak, and there is no impenetrable defense. To break such a defense, the best way is to destroy it from the inside, and the best way to destroy it from the inside is if there is someone inside who knows how to defend.
internal structure.
Ma Zheng silently recited his father's words in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he asked: "Brother Liu, where are we going?"
Liu Zi said in a low voice: "Just walk for a while and we will be there soon."
The two walked for a while and came to a big tree. Ma Zheng carefully kept a distance of two meters from Liu Zi, and his heart was completely tense.
Liu Zi reached into his arms and slowly took out a dagger. Listening to the sound of feet stepping on fallen leaves behind him, Liu Zi concluded that as long as he turned around, he would definitely be able to stab the kid behind him.
Liu Zi and another person have already planned that he will launch the first round of attack. If he fails, the other person hiding in the dark will help.
Thinking that his family and children were still among that person, Liu Zi's heart tugged hard.
Liu Zi had read the book and understood what his mission was this time.
That person wanted to kill Ma Zheng, the son of Shenxianhou, and he clearly wanted to put the blame on Cao Cao. On the other hand, the emperor had already issued an order for Shenxianhou to come over to express condolences to Cao Cao. As a result, Shenxianhou arrived at Cao's camp and found out that he
If his son dies, then no matter how good his relationship with Cao Cao is, there will probably be a gap.
"It's a vicious plan to kill two birds with one stone..." Liu Zi smiled bitterly in his heart, gritted his teeth, packed the dagger tightly, turned around sharply, and stabbed it out with a loud roar.
With a "Cang" sound, Liu Zi originally thought that this attack would definitely succeed, but unexpectedly, he was blocked by Ma Zheng.
"Huh?" Liu Zi's eyes narrowed, and he changed his position and kicked.
Ma Zheng was too young, and his physical strength and strength were not as good as Liu Zi's. Liu Zi's kick hit Ma Zheng's chest squarely.
Ma Zheng let out a sound, spurted blood from his mouth, and flew backwards.
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Liu Zi chased after you, gritted his teeth, tightened the dagger in his hand, and stabbed it out again.
Ma Zheng was not slow in his movements. Although he was young, the blow Liu Zi had just given had proved Liu Zi's motive and determination to kill him.
Ma Zheng didn't think much about it, because he had already noticed something was wrong, but he was just inexperienced, so he was kicked in the chest by Liu Zi.
Ma Zheng had been staying at Xu Huang's headquarters for a few days. During these days, Ma Zheng saw a lot of dead people, a lot of injured people, and the cruelty of war.
Just when Liu Zi's dagger was about to hit Ma Zheng's chest, Ma Zheng made an incredible move. Liu Zi's killing blow was actually dodged by Ma Zheng.
After dodging, Ma Zheng didn't hesitate and jumped forward into the woods.
It was late at night, and although there was moonlight, unfortunately there was only a small half of the moon.
Ma Zheng covered his chest and silently vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it!" Liu Zi's killing move failed and he felt extremely depressed. He kicked a short tree with resentment and cursed like crazy.
Ma Zheng frowned slightly and forcefully swallowed back the third mouthful of blood he was about to spit out.
At this moment, Ma Zheng suddenly felt a chill on his back, and subconsciously tilted his head.
With this tilt of his head, Ma Zheng was horrified to find a person standing behind him.
The man was very proud because he had hit the mark and was pressing a dagger firmly against Ma Zheng's back, looking at him as if he were a plaything.
"Get up, boy"
Ma Zheng was a little scared, but he didn't have the crying and helplessness of children of the same age. He stood up slowly.
Not far away, Liu Zi saw the light of Huo Zhezi.
Seeing two figures, one tall and one short, under the firelight, Liu Zi was overjoyed, drew his sword and rushed over.
The man who was making a fuss curled his lips and said: "Damn, boy, aren't you very crooked? Today next year will be your boy's death anniversary, hum."
Ma Zheng coughed twice without saying a word. Seeing that Liu Zi was about to arrive in front of him, Ma Zheng knew that once Liu Zi came, his life would be in his hands. Therefore, Ma Zheng
I gritted my teeth and made a bold decision.
He leaned forward, and the dagger behind him had already pierced into his shoulder.
"Ah" Ma Zhengtai underestimated the pain of the dagger piercing his flesh and couldn't help but screamed, but at this moment, Ma Zheng actually stabbed the dagger back in his hand without even looking.
This dagger was given to Ma Zheng by Master Liang Long. The dagger is small but extremely sharp. Ma Zheng rarely uses this dagger because Master Liang Long said that it must not be used until a critical moment.
