Fireworks August is the most beautiful season of the year.

During this time, the recovery of spring and summer was undertaken, and the west wind rose when the heat subsided. It is also linked to the harvest of golden autumn, which is a good season for autumn to be high and refreshing, which makes people can't help but feel relaxed.

However, since he got out of the Tiger Prison, Ma Chao's brows have never stretched. After seeing the smiling faces of the people of Sili, he suddenly entered the realm of Chenliu, and then saw the tragic situation of sores and starvation everywhere and the displacement of countless refugees. No matter how good the mood was before I came, I couldn't help but be ruined by this sense of impermanence.

And in order to hide his identity, Ma Chao also had to disguise himself as a homeless person. As he traveled all the way, he learned a lot of news about the battle between Lu Bu and Cao Cao from the mouths of these fleeing victims.

Overall, there is no good news, but there is no bad news either.

"My lord, we have been marching for eight days since we got out of the Tiger Prison. Ahead is the Chenliu territory, I don't know if the lord has entered Chenliu? Gan Ning seemed to be a little familiar with the scene in front of him. A pair of cold eyes, always full of murderous intent that people dare not despise, the burly body and wild exposed muscles, scaring away many people who want to take advantage of the fire to rob.

This time into Xuzhou, it is impossible for Gan Ning not to bring it. Regarding the matter of Jiangxia's official hat and chair, Gan Ning should be the person who knows best. In fact, Gan Ning's foundation in the Ma family is still too shallow, and he is a little radical in dealing with people, so Ma Chao hopes to know more about Gan Ning.

However, when Gan Ning asked Ma Chao for this sentence, Ma Chao reluctantly swept his eyes to the person behind him: that person looked like an ordinary homeless person, and his dirty face seemed to be full of hardships to run for his life. But if you look closely, you will find that there is no sorrow in the eyes of that person, but more perseverance and expectation. In particular, her slender and graceful body could not be concealed at all, even in the patched coarse linen clothes.

And when she heard Gan Ning's request, she couldn't help but open her mouth, wanting to plead with Ma Chao for something. However, after thinking about it, she still tried to restrain her impulse, just stood quietly aside, staring at Ma Chao with hopeful eyes and pulses.

Ma Chao avoided her eyes twice, but in the end he was still a little unbearable, so he had to sigh helplessly: "Bypass Chen Liu, go east along the Yellow River into Dingtao." Although Feng Xiangong is currently retreating to Shanyang, the Dingtao area is still under the rule of Feng Xiangong, and we can find out the latest battle situation in Yanzhou there, which will also help us to persuade Liu Bei to enter Xuzhou. ”

After saying this, Ma Chao couldn't help but think of the verbal battle he had with the group of foxes in the court ten days ago: he worked hard and tried all means, and finally came up with a big plan, full of thought that he could finally embark on a melancholy and complicated journey to seek the bonds of his previous life, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, Lu Qiling gave herself a big problem!

Yes, the refugee in front of her who is difficult to hide is Ma Chao's daughter-in-law Lu Qiling, and since her temperament has changed greatly, she has always impressed Ma Chao. What's even more unexpected is that this time she somehow got together with Liu Yue, Fu Shou, and Han Ying, which made the three of them force Ma Chao to agree to him on the condition that he must take Lu Qiling on the road.

"The itinerary has been decided, let's go........" Seeing that Lu Qiling inevitably showed a successful smile in the end, Ma Chao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: After this little pepper changed his temperament, he really learned a little bit of beauty tricks, and he actually used it well.........

Along the way, the three of them didn't say much, still swaying Chaoding Tao walking, along the way there are still people all over the wilderness, except for the sorrow of the majestic Yellow River flooding the three people, there is nothing left. Even, even Lu Qiling wanted to deliberately thank Ma Chao, but she didn't have the heart to say it.

Watching the sun gradually set, Ma Chao stopped, and Gan Ning relied on this superb water art to catch three fat fish, raise a fire, and prepare to eat with Ma Chao. And Lu Qiling, who was bored, had to fight on the side.

In the feudal era at the end of the Han Dynasty, these things should have been done by Lu Qiling, but since Ma Chao and Gan Ning ate a pheasant roasted by Lu Qiling, Ma Chao has never let Lu Qiling cook. Because he felt that it was Lu Qiling who was plotting to murder her husband........

However, today is slightly different, before Lu Qiling made a move, she saw a hut in front of her with her extraordinary eyesight, and said happily: "Husband, we don't have to sleep in the open today!" ”

And Ma Chao followed Lu Qiling's guidance, and sure enough, he saw a simple hut by the Yellow River, and smiled at Lu Qiling at the moment: There is really no need to sleep in the open anymore!

These days, in order to avoid revealing his identity, Ma Chao has always taken a secluded path. Even if he took the official road, he didn't dare to enter the city. And a bowl of hot soup and a comfortable bed are already a five-star enjoyment that Ma Chao can not hope for. At the moment, with those few fat fish in his hand, he rushed to the hut: the fish soup is a big supplement, but it can't be wasted.

However, after arriving at the hut, Ma Chao's brows furrowed slightly: from the outside, this hut was no different from ordinary civilian huts, low and dark, crumbling, as if the wind could blow it away. But Ma Chao thought that on the side of the Yellow River, only this abrupt hut towered, isn't this the biggest doubt?

What's more, although this boundary is remote, it is the center of Yanzhou, and the mountain roads can be reached to the surrounding counties and counties, and even Yuzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Sili and other places, all of which can be accessed to ........

"My lord, this hut is too strange, so we don't need to make any extraneous branches." Gan Ning has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he is like Ma Chao, and he also sees the strangeness of this hut. After frowning slightly, he opened his mouth to remind Ma Chao.

However, Ma Chao showed a strange and happy smile on his face after seeing the scattered stones placed in front of the hut: "Xingba, go in, if my guess is right, I should be able to sleep peacefully tonight." Anyway, I remember that the Shadows have the most investment in the military department, and the intelligence contact point they set up can't be so shabby........"

However, just as Ma Chao happily pushed open the dilapidated door that was about to fall apart, a dark black arrow immediately shot out like lightning! In the light dark night, Ma Chao also saw the dark green luster on the arrow: the arrow is poisonous!

The mind raced, and the body reacted. As if it hadn't moved, but only a slight muscle twist, the dark arrow grazed Ma Chao's neck. After Ma Chao was attacked by this, he did not retreat but advanced, flew into the hut, and immediately saw a scene that he did not expect!

The hut, which was barely a foot in diameter, was all occupied by corpses. The smoky smell of blood filled this airtight hut, as if it made people feel like they were in a slaughtering hell. And every time he took a step, Ma Chao felt that the sticky blood on the ground was almost sticking to the soles of his shoes!

The blood temperature is hot, and it has not yet dissipated, and this massacre will definitely not last more than two hours!

At the same moment, Ma Chao also saw a figure flashing by the stove of the hut, and after the corners of his mouth suddenly turned grim, he stepped forward and smashed his fist on the broken cauldron, directly breaking the iron cauldron, and pulling out a black shadow from the stove! At this time, Gan Ning and Lu Qiling also took their blades and flew in to grab them, and when they saw the tragic situation in the thatched hut, they couldn't help but be shocked. And Gan Ning was excited by the blood in the house, and the urge to kill immediately rushed violently, and with a wave of his knife, he wanted to cut at the person in Ma Chao's hand!

"Don't do it, he's the Shadow Man!" Ma Chao suddenly shouted, and after seeing that the person was wearing a night suit specially made by the Ma family's shadow, he quickly opened his mouth to stop Gan Ning.

The strong wind of the steel broadsword suddenly stopped, and it could cut through the skin of the man's neck. But Ma Chao suddenly had an absurd thought in his heart: Comrade, you must hold on, don't pee your pants and embarrass the Ma family!!
