Summary of the previous chapter: The second stage of the competition was held on the second day. Ma Xiaoquan knew that Wei Zhongxian and Li Zongyu would definitely make secret arrangements to prevent him from winning...
Mr. Huang whispered: "Sir Deacon, I have to put you down. Wei Zhongxian has laid many ambushes on the way to the capital... If you don't pay attention, you can...
..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "It's okay, I already knew it."
"Ah? You know, what should you do? There are not even fifteen of you here, including you. Wei Zhongxian and Li Zongyu are colluding together, and their number is several times yours."
"Master Huang, thank you for reminding me, I am free to exercise my discretion!"
"Well, okay then"
...
After all the officials stood still and Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne, the scene gradually became quiet.
Wei Zhongxian stood next to Zhu Youxiao and preached in a strange voice: "Please enter the contestants."
With the sound of gongs and drums, Ma Xiaoquan led his team members into the arena grandly, and Li Zongyu also led his soldiers into the arena from the other side.
The auras of both sides were different. On Ma Xiaoquan's side, all were beautiful women, especially Li Qinghan, who was walking side by side with him. She was so beautiful that all the officials stared at her with wide eyes and watched her without blinking.
When the team entered the field, some of the weak-willed ones even drooled at the sight.
The soldiers guarding were even more exaggerated, staggering around as if they had taken medicine.
"Uh-huh." The guard leader coughed angrily, and the guard soldiers came to their senses, straightened up, and stood up again.
Ma Xiaoquan secretly laughed and felt helpless at the same time. With such qualities, how could he expect to protect the Ming Dynasty? Oh, it's really...
Li Zongyu sent strong soldiers carefully selected by him. He was very confident that he could defeat Ma Xiaoquan in today's competition. As for that bastard Li Yao, wait until the competition is over before taking care of him properly.
The players from both sides stood up and Zhu Youxiao stood up and said loudly: "Today is the second match between Ma Xiaoquan's side and Gyeonggi general Li Zongyu's side. The result of the first match was that Ma Xiaoquan's side won, but this time
The overall competition is an exchange of experience, so the winner is the next... Now... I let you ministers come to see it, just to understand the power of our country, the Ming Dynasty..."
When all the officials heard this, they all knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded, stretched out his hand and said: "Pingshen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The officials stood up. Zhu Youxiao looked at Ma Xiaoquan and Li Zongyu and said, "My dear friends, are you ready?"
Ma Xiaoquan and Li Zongyu said in unison: "Your Majesty, everything is ready!"
"Okay, let the competition begin immediately!"
After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he gently sat back on the throne. Wei Zhongxian stood up and preached: "The emperor has a decree, and the competition will begin immediately."
Team members from both sides are ordered to take their positions.
Wei Zhongxian glanced at Ma Xiaoquan and thought to himself: Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Xiaoquan, as long as your people are running on the way to Beijing, they will definitely be ambushed by my people. Hum, my people are going to take all your shit.
The team members robbed them all and then ravaged them...haha...
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian felt excited. He raised his hands and shouted: "Everyone, take your place, come out!"
With the order, Li Zongyu's soldiers roared out of the competition venue like beasts that opened the gate, while Ma Xiaoquan's female team members walked out of the competition venue leisurely, all of them looking absent-minded.
.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Weren't you in good spirits yesterday? Why do Ma Xiaoquan's people look so low on morale today?"
Wei Zhongxian was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it was also because Ma Xiaoquan's people were frightened when they saw General Li's people being so powerful, so..."
Zhu Youxiao was a little dissatisfied and shouted to Ma Xiaoquan: "Ma Aiqing, cheer up and don't be discouraged. You won yesterday!"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said respectfully to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will still win in today's competition!"
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan waved, and the team members quickly raised their forearms and made preparations for running.
"Get ready to run! yi two yi... yi two yi..."
Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows, looked at Ma Xiaoquan and the others walking away, and asked Wei Zhongxian: "What is he doing?"
Wei Zhongxian was also confused, but he was not worried because they had already set up many obstacles.
...
Ma Xiaoquan led the team members into the woods and stopped before running far.
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Qingwen, how was your investigation last night?"
A petite woman came out of the queue and whispered: "Report to the captain, the people sent by Wei Zhongxian and Li Zongyu have almost covered the entire road leading to Beijing. Well, there are both major and small roads. If we want to enter Beijing,
It’s very difficult, almost impossible.”
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "I knew Wei Zhongxian and Li Zongyu would do this... Shui'er, how is Li Yao?"
Shui Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then said with a pretty face: "It's okay, it's just that he suffered too many injuries in the past. It's almost impossible to completely recover from the injuries..."
Ma Xiaoquan said, "I understand." After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan stopped moving.
Li Qinghan became a little anxious and urged: "Why don't we leave? Li Zongyu's people have already entered Beijing. If we are a little later, we will probably... lose."
Just as he was talking, Hua Yue, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared.
Ma Xiaoquan saw Hua Yue and smiled slightly: "Yue'er, you are finally here!"
Hua Yue breathed out: "Finally caught up!"
Li Qinghan said in surprise: "Sister Yue'er, what are you doing? Why haven't I seen you?"
Hua Yue waved her hand: "Let me make a long story short. Our secret passage can actually lead to Beijing, but it was blocked before..."
Ma Xiaoquan answered: "So I asked Yue'er to secretly send people to dig out the secret passage overnight."
Hua Yue continued: "Actually, the blockage is not thick, and it was completed quickly!"
Li Qinghan said happily: "Ma Xiaoquan, are we going to take a secret passage?"
"That's right, but the other end of the secret passage is the Forbidden City, which is the Royal Palace. Originally, I was worried that there were too many people in the Palace. Now that the Emperor has led all the officials out, naturally there will be much fewer guards in the Palace, so
After we enter the palace, we can move much more easily, but... we all have missions, so we can't stay in the palace!"
The girls nodded and said in unison: "Yes! Captain, we listen to you!"
