Beside the official road, more than ten people were resting.
Ma Cang was sitting in the middle, surrounded by people.
He coughed dryly, moved his right hand, and frowned: "I'm afraid the bones were broken by Liao Jin's punch."
Everyone looked at him, and someone said: "Ma Gong, how long can you survive after Liao Jin hit you?"
Ma Cang shook his head, "I can't tell clearly, but even if this person survives, he will be ruined."
Seeing everyone's confusion, he smiled and said: "My family's ancestral skills have been tested on cattle and sheep since childhood. They have to be practiced until they can make cattle and sheep fall down with just one poke, but no scars can be seen." Liao Jin was
I poked it and my legs became weak at that time..."
Everyone was overjoyed.
"Mr. Ma, this is a great achievement, why don't we go back?"
Ma Cang shook his head, "This is the commander's plan. After His Majesty's death, the commander...you must know that when the emperor's uncle ascends the throne, our Eagle Guard will bear the brunt.
If we want to avoid being purged, we must first perform meritorious service and let the Emperor's uncle see our abilities. The second is to show loyalty... The new emperor ascends the throne, and the Eagle Guard brings good news... This is not loyalty, so what is loyalty?"
Everyone suddenly understood and couldn't help but rejoice.
The same is true for the emperor and his ministers, and even more for the secret spies.
If Li Mi dies, the first thing the new emperor will clean is the mirror. If Wang Shou is smart, he can quickly get a rope and hang himself, and he can still gain a reputation for loyalty.
If he takes any chances, he will end up miserable.
Ma Cang's expression was dazed for a moment, "When I was hunted down by my enemies, it was the commander who protected me. I was cruel, but I must repay kindness. The commander is now in crisis, how can I just sit back and watch?"
Someone lowered their voice and said: "The Emperor's uncle has ascended the throne, and Lin Ya and others may not be able to calm down. At this time, the Emperor's uncle will not clean up the Eagle Guard, right?"
Ma Cang shook his head, "You have underestimated the emperor's uncle. He is a ruthless man who kills decisively.
Besides, it's easy to cleanse the Eagle Guards. If you take down 50% of the leader, the rest will be trembling and afraid of going too far.
Slowly, see who is loyal and who is perfunctory, and then change... After two or three years, the Eagle Guard will become the new emperor's confidant."
He smiled and said, "I have lived a long life and seen a lot, so I know these things."
"Mr. Ma, there is Ning Yayun beside Yang Gou!" said an Eagle Guard: "It's not that the villain is timid, Ning Yayun's strength... makes people feel that there is no need to resist."
Ma Cang said: "Ning Yayun, I'm here to contain you. I don't want you to wait to fight for your life, just one, surprise, and leave with one strike."
Everyone was eating dry food and drinking water, and some people were muttering, "Liao Jin fell. If Yang Gou falls again, Northern Xinjiang will be in chaos. It's a pity that the army has gone back, otherwise there would be a counterattack..."
Ma Cang's eyes were dark, "If these two fall, Huang Chunhui's line will be cut off. Afterwards, Chang'an will send people to Northern Xinjiang, and then there will be cleaning...
Northern Xinjiang has had some intention of establishing its own country since Pei Jiu. Over the years, the dissatisfaction of the soldiers and civilians in Northern Xinjiang with Chang'an has been increasing day by day.
Li Mi is very suspicious. Once he is purged, northern Xinjiang will be filled with blood.
At that time, if Daliao sends troops again, it will easily sweep the Northern Xinjiang Army!"
"Then Li Mi doesn't know this truth?"
"Of course he knows."
"Then why does he still do this?"
Ma Cang took a sip of water, and the pain in his shoulder made him take a deep breath, and then said: "The commander once said that based on Li Bi's words and deeds before and after he ascended the throne, he didn't take the country seriously at all. The country is there.
In his eyes, it's just a doll!
It is rare for a person like this to appear in a thousand years. It is doomed for the Tang Dynasty to have such emperors. In turn, this is the blessing for me, the Liao Dynasty!"
Everyone was silent, but the depression that had accumulated since the defeat was gradually dissipating.
Ma Cang heard these words from He Lianhong.
Ta-ta-ta!
A horse came galloping towards us and shouted: "Here we come, more than thirty carts, accompanied by more than two hundred riders."
Everyone looked towards the horse barn.
"This is Jiajuan, he's also here."
Ma Cang hesitated, but after the assassination was successful, he immediately fled. Most of his more than thirty masters were killed by the Taoxian defenders on the spot. The rest bravely turned around to intercept him in order to cover his escape... but it only took a moment.
, and was drowned in the rain of arrows and swords and guns.
Now he only has a dozen people in his hands.
According to He Lianhong's arrangement, regardless of whether the assassination was successful or not, he should withdraw.
But after he succeeded, Ma Cang thought more... Liao Jin fell, and Yang Xuan had to come to Taoxian to take charge of the overall situation. In this way, I intercepted and killed him on his only way...
He thought this plan was perfect.
But there are only a dozen people under his command. If he wants to make a surprise attack, he can only choose one target. Otherwise, once the group of people around Yang Gou are given time, the situation will turn upside down in an instant.
Should he assassinate Yang Xuan or his wife and children?
An Eagle Guard said: "I'm afraid I'm not sure."
Keep it!
Ma Cang nodded appreciatively to the eagle guard, "Ten birds in the forest are worse than one in the hand. Yang Gou must be heavily guarded. In this way, his wife and children are attacked."
At the last moment, Ma Cang chose to play it safe.
After all, your life is yours, isn’t it good to be alive?
"Prepare!"
They had dug a hole on the roadside a long time ago. It was not a big hole. After entering, I could squat down just enough to hide myself, and then put my head on the grass. Ma Cang had seen it many times and it was very secretive.
"Even if it is not as good as the Qing Dynasty of Southern Zhou Dynasty, it can still crush the pillars of the mirror!"
Ma Cang entered the cave last and waited in silence.
Not long after, the sound of hoofbeats was heard, and more than ten people were riding.
This is a scout.
The horse barn did not move.
Then the team arrived.
In the carriage, A Liang was still sleeping.
Zhou Ning hugged him and spoke softly to Yi Niang.
"The house over there in Taoxian County has been renovated a long time ago, but we just arrived. We don't want to be too showy. We keep a low profile when shopping..."
Yi Niang nodded, "That's right."
A Liang moved his lips, and Zhou Ning lowered his head. Seeing that he was asleep again, he couldn't help laughing and said: "This kid is a sleepy kid. Mr. Lang said he is the god of sleep."
"No arrangement is allowed." Yi Niang said seriously.
"Yes!" Zhou Ning said: "The gods are not easy to arrange."
Yi Niang said: "Xiao Langjun is a god descending to earth."
Zhou Ning: "..."
She looked at the serious Yi Niang and understood her intention.
The noble man's child was born with some strange phenomena, such as a red light filling the house, a strange fragrance filling the house, flying cranes, fairies scattering flowers, a giant snake nodding, and a phoenix...
In a word, if you say there was no movement when the child was born, or the movement was too small, you would be embarrassed to say hello to people when you go out.
Noble man, why are you so noble?
His status is expensive and a bit tacky.
Let’s start from before birth. When the birth is about to take place, the mother dreams of something in her arms...
The mother looked confused, "No! It tasted delicious to me, and it was dawn! I didn't dream!"
Fool!
Don’t dream!
How can we make our children valued?
So the mother had a dream.
The dream is strange and weird.
This is what Yi Niang meant.
From now on, I have to slowly make up some magical things for Ah Liang to build momentum.
"Bao Dong is good at this." Yi Niang said with a smile, "That man's lies are as good as the truth."
Thinking of Bao Dong, Zhou Ning couldn't help but smile, "Talent!"
Suddenly there was a loud roar outside.
"Protect Mr. Lang!"
This was the first reaction of the guards.
"Protect my wife!"
First came the men, then the women and children.
Such is the order of this era.
More than a dozen Eagle Guards soared into the sky from the pit and flew over.
Ning Yayun coughed dryly.
"Headmaster?" Yang Xuan looked at him, come on!
"I read the almanac this morning. It's not good for killing people." The old handsome man muttered.
Yang Xuan was amused, "Isn't the almanac compiled by metaphysics?"
Xuanxue also presided over the compilation of the calendar back then, which was also the foundation of their establishment.
Ning Yayun sighed, "It's not good to take the initiative to kill people today!"
When Ma Cang arrived, he punched Ning Yayun in the air.
"Oh! Such eyes!" Ning Yayun was in a good mood and went to greet her.
More than ten Eagle Guards turned back halfway and rushed towards the carriage.
"We're going for my wife and husband!" someone shouted.
More than ten Eagle Guards rushed over regardless of their own safety.
In the hands of the Qiu Long Guard, one by one will die.
But they used their own flesh and blood to provide space for the next person to approach the carriage.
Ma Cang saw this scene in mid-air and was overjoyed. Then he received a slap from Ning Yayun, causing him to vomit blood and fall.
Time to run!
Ma Cang wanted to run away as soon as he landed, but he wanted to see the result.
This is a sure-fire situation that he carefully planned. If he can kill Yang Gou's wife and children...
The last Eagle Guard is good at avoiding stealth.
The Eagle Guard in front opened the passage for him. His body was extremely twisted as he approached the carriage and slashed away with the long knife in his hand.
The car curtain opens.
A ruler stretched out and patted the long knife gently.
An abundant and irresistible inner energy spread along the long sword, and Ma Cang saw the Eagle Guard fly up.
The car curtain was lowered, and An Ziyu was full of complaints, "I came here just for this moment, and then I have to rush back."
Zhou Ning smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."
Ma Cang was extremely disappointed when he landed and just wanted to run away, but found that he was surrounded by Yang Xuan's guards.
Most of these guards were armed with crossbows. Just when he was greedy to see the result, they were in place.
The crossbows were very dense, and Ma Cang was sure that he would not be able to escape the density.
"Do you know that I will come to assassinate you?" Ma Cang thought it was impossible. "The commander has not arranged to assassinate you."
This stick... Yang Xuan rode over: "I'm just being cautious. By the way, what's your name?"
"horse barn."
"You've earned it!" Yang Xuan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you live or die!"
"The favor of living is greater," Han Ji said.
Yang Xuan glanced at Ning Yayun, with an indifferent expression on his face...Old Ning, you can die.
Look at this gesture! An Ziyu, who opened the curtain and looked out, praised: "Zitai is becoming more tolerant."
This guy is trying to bully me! If he can't capture Ma Cang alive, he will definitely say in the most sincere tone that it would be better to die... Ning Yayun sighed and flew over.
Ma Cang retreated while vomiting blood.
Boss Yang waved his hand, "Disperse!"
When masters fight, there will be lightning and thunder, so we assholes should stay away to avoid being struck by the thunder.
Ning Yayun flew over and appeared in front of Ma Cang.
Ma Cang roared angrily, turned his right hand into a palm, and stabbed Ning Yayun in the ribs.
Ning Yayun turned around awkwardly, raised her hand, and clapped her hand without any hint of fireworks.
The horse raised its hands hastily, and with a bang, the man flew out.
Why!
This palm is a bit heavy, don't slap it to death!
Ning Yayun flew over, grabbed Ma Cang with one hand, and thoughtfully collected some of her inner breath.
Ma Cang, who seemed to be unconscious, opened his eyes and said with a ferocious smile: "Death!"
His left hand stabbed Ning Yayun's lower back violently, and his inner breath surged...
"Headmaster, be careful with your waist!" Yang Xuan shouted.
Both Wang and Lao Er muttered: "I would rather be the headmaster than marry a wife. If my waist is gone, it will be gone!"
This is surprisingly reasonable.
Tu Shang looked pleased.
The old thief touched his lower back with his backhand and sighed: "This is a good thing."
Yang Xuan felt that his second son would be beaten to death sooner or later.
but!
He discovered something terrible.
Ning Yayun didn’t move!
He looked at Ma Cang with a look of compassion.
Master, are you crazy or something?
Yang Xuan shouted: "Quick! Stop him!"
Uda flew away with an arrow.
But Ma Cang took the lead and stabbed Ning Yayun in the waist.
Yang Xuan covered his forehead, Oh my God!
Ma Cang pointed like a knife and stabbed Ning Yayun in the lower back, but it seemed like it had hit an iron plate.
clang!
This feels wrong!
Did Ning Yayun practice some secret skills?
I’ll poke again!
clang!
Poke again!
clang!
clang!
Ning Yayun reached out and swatted away the arrow shot by Uda, sighing, "Are you here to assassinate, or are you here to poke and play?"
Ma Cang looked at his deformed and bleeding fingers and cried, "What kind of secret skill have you practiced? I have never heard of it!"
Ning Yayun reached into her clothes and pulled out a piece of solid wood, not wood, but scrap metal.
"The status symbol of the master of metaphysics. This object is made of thousand-year-old ironwood from the South China Sea. Every master has been nourished with inner breath. After thousands of years, I always feel that there is something interesting living in it. This thing doesn't pay attention to anyone. I wanted to slap it, but I thought I had passed it. Today, I have wronged you."
"Did you do it on purpose?"
After seeing Ning Yayun nodding, Ma Cang opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue... ready to bite it.
"Hey!" Ning Yayun put the brand into his mouth, "Try to take a bite."
Katcha!
Several yellow screw teeth fell down.
Ning Yayun threw the horse barn on the ground and came back with the sign, "Water bag."
"Do you still want to take a shower?" Yang Xuan handed over his water bag.
"I still have to keep this thing in my mouth to keep it warm..."
Yang Xuan took back the water bag.
Ning Yayun looked at him in surprise. Yang Xuan took off Wu Da's water bag and said, "My water bag doesn't have enough water."
After Ning Yayun cleaned the wooden sign, Yang Xuan asked curiously: "What did you say lived inside...really?"
"For thousands of years, countless sects have been holding it in their mouths every day... Why do you look so disgusted?"
"No, I'm just curious."
"Just use the inner breath to warm up. Every time I warm up, I will feel that the ancestors are inside..."
Could it be that Lao Ning was hallucinating?
Yang Xuan thinks it is very possible.
…
Tao County.
"inability!"
Jiao Mingzhong looked livid and scolded several generals.
He was Liao Jin's confidant, so it was difficult for Liu Qing to speak to avoid being accused of adding insult to injury.
"Northern Xinjiang is so big, how can Ma Cang fly back to Ningxing? They have already blocked the route back to the north, but what about the people? Go after them! Send the Xuanjia Cavalry out too!"
Jiao Mingzhong shouted almost hysterically.
Liu Qing finally couldn't help it anymore, "It's hard to make this matter too big. Besides, Ma Cangxiu just wants to find a place to hide, and there's nowhere to look for it!"
Jiao Mingzhong interrupted him, "Zhong Cheng cannot afford to be assassinated. Does Liu Sima want to sit back and watch?"
Liu Qing couldn't accept this!
Liao Jin fell, and Yang Xuan was the beneficiary. And everyone knows his relationship with Yang Xuan: they share the same affection as father and son.
Therefore, Jiao Mingzhong said he would just sit back and watch, and he could only hold it in.
Hold it in for that little bastard!
Jiao Mingzhong is going crazy...his benefactor Liao Jin falls, what will happen next?
At this moment, anyone who objects to sending out a large army to hunt down Ma Cang is his enemy.
Even Liu Qing!
He looked at everyone, "Who objects?"
The clerk outside suddenly leaned over and was about to speak, but stopped.
Then, he looked into the lobby with a strange expression.
