Three Kingdoms New Malaysia Super League

Chapter 1087

The sound of the two crossbow arrows, coupled with the chaotic sound of horseshoes, immediately disturbed Ma Chao's hearing.

Originally, if there was a surprise attack, Ma Chao felt that he could catch the attacking crossbow out of thin air, but his hearing was disturbed, so he could only swing the gun, and suddenly heard a "duh", the crossbow was knocked aside and disappeared. .

However, there is also good news that the other crossbow arrow was fired by Yang Xiu.Seeing that Ma Chao's expression was wrong, and that the Huns were running away, he shot an arrow decisively and aimed at the Huns' thigh impartially.The man let out a muffled grunt, then fell to the ground.

After all this was done, the team of cavalry also rushed to Ma Chao.Looking at the general at the head, Ma Chao was overjoyed. He avoided the trouble of proving his identity, and directed directly: "Master Wen, quickly surround Zuidongfang Restaurant, and dig three feet into the ground to dig out the people inside!"

Seeing that it was Ma Chao who was ambushed, Wei Yan's square purple-colored face immediately turned black, he didn't say anything at the moment, and gestured repeatedly, and then he galloped his horse through the main entrance of the Drunken East Restaurant.It seems that if Zui Dongfang is not demolished, there might not be many things left in the wine shop.

Ma Chao, on the other hand, walked towards the place where the Hun fell down with a sullen face. He was sure that he had definitely seen this Hun before.It's just that he couldn't recall the specific situation in which he saw it.However, at this time another accident happened. Seeing that he was about to be captured, the man immediately roared.He pulled out the crossbow arrow from his thigh fiercely, and stabbed it in his face!

At that time, there was no one around him who could stop him, and Ma Chao could only watch this man commit suicide.Especially after seeing that this person's face had been ruined by himself, Ma Chao's expression became even more gloomy.

When he was young, Wei Yan came out and replied with shame and embarrassment: "Master, the thief has escaped calmly. The general found a secret passage in the back kitchen, and sent people to chase it, but..."

Ma Chao also knew that in this situation, when he didn't know where the secret passage led to, it was impossible to catch up with the assassin.Moreover, everything seems very strange today, he needs to calm down first: "Send troops to look around, the skills of those Huns, it is impossible to quietly remove the shadow around me."

After a while, Ma Jiajun had brought fifteen shadow corpses. Ma Chao and Wei Yan stepped forward to look, and saw that each shadow was killed by someone with a single stroke.Ma Chao wrinkled his forehead slightly, and after slowly rubbing his temples, he had a vague guess about the whole incident.

Obviously, this assassination was not aimed specifically at him.Even those real assassins discovered their identities all of a sudden.The real assassin hidden in Drunk East, after assassinating the shadow who was secretly protecting Ma Chao, has set up a special assassination campaign.But after seeing Yang Xiu release the Ming Dy arrow, he felt that the matter must not be violated, so he let these seven Xiongnu cannon fodder who had some kind of connection with them be used as scapegoats.

Of course, there is a great possibility that those assassins knew that with Ma Chao's martial arts, it was impossible to perish in this ill-prepared assassination, so they temporarily changed their strategy and took advantage of the chaos to escape.However, there is still one thing that is certain, that is, the leader of this group of assassins either has a deep hatred for Ma Chao, or is very eager for Ma Chao's head-from the killing intent revealed behind the high window just now, Ma Chao can feel that that person It's a little bit of both.Moreover, his mind is meticulous and calm, and his martial arts are definitely above the second-rate masters.

Such a person has an inexplicable connection with the Huns... Ma Chao shook his head slightly. In his impression, there was no such person.

"Go back to the main hall of the county government, and discuss the business of my coming here first." Ma Chao ordered gloomyly, and before destroying the horse, he seemed to think of something again, and whispered to Wei Yan: "Look around, and retrieve the crossbow arrow that shot me just now. .I have a hunch that that crossbow bolt can tell me a lot."

"Promise." Wei Yan didn't have much courage to speak anymore. He even wrote a letter to ask for a fight before, thinking that it would be overkill for Ma Chao to keep a general like him in Hedong County.But just when Ma Chaoweifu came in person, he was assassinated, which is really dereliction of duty to the extreme.

Before entering the county government office, three or four small officials who served as Shuzuo had already stepped forward to salute Wei Yan.Although Ma Chao asked not to say anything about such a big incident, Wei Yan had already ordered an early curfew on the way back, and ordered people to go back to the county government immediately to inform the clerks to thoroughly investigate the drunken oriental restaurant.

Those petty officials didn't know Ma Chao, so they just reported to Wei Yanhui: "General, I have checked the household registration manual of Qimin. This Drunken Oriental Restaurant opened here before our Ma family captured Hedong. The shopkeeper's registered name is Li Wei. I have always been a responsible businessman in the local area..."

The Ma family, which has successfully risen by relying on espionage, naturally has a unique set of methods in dealing with the other party's spies.Ma Chao adopted the method of registering households and Qimin in the Western Han Dynasty, improved it and applied it to the Ma family.This strict household registration control system requires that both civilian households and gentry military households must be registered in the local county government and checked frequently.This makes it extremely difficult for other princes to place new spies in, because a stranger who is not registered on the local household registration will be discovered soon, so that the espionage activities of foreign forces can be prevented as much as possible.

However, hearing that the shopkeeper of the Drunken Oriental Restaurant opened here very early, it can only prove two problems: one is that the shopkeeper has been lurking in Hedong County a long time ago; The leader of the group of assassins has a lot of energy. After entering Hedong, he not only quickly hid his identity, but also quickly bought the shopkeeper of Drunk East.

At present, it seems that the first possibility is still relatively large.But no matter what the possibility is, Ma Chao feels that there is a bigger conspiracy against the Ma family hidden behind it.

As soon as these were sorted out, a Ma Jiajun stepped forward with something and handed it to Wei Yan.After Wei Yan handed it over to Ma Chao with a solemn expression, he saw the expected reaction.Ma Chao stroked the crossbow bolt carefully, and said firmly: "It really is this kind of crossbow bolt."

That crossbow arrow was similar to that of the Ma family's Yuanrong Liannu. The three-edged arrowhead was dark and bright, obviously poisonous.What's more interesting is that its arrow is one foot and five inches long...

When Li Chi was ambushed in Hedong County, his entire army was wiped out by this kind of crossbow arrows one foot five inches long.But now that the Yuan family was destroyed, this kind of crossbow appeared in Hedong County again, and the mystery became more and more dense.Moreover, this time, for some reason, it was related to the Huns, which made all the incidents more complicated and confusing.

"Han Hao was rescued by a mysterious person back then, and he never showed up?" Ma Chao carefully put away the crossbow bolt, secretly feeling that this crossbow bolt would still be useful in the future.Although he didn't know when it would be, the feeling was very strong.

"After Yuan Shao's defeat, he seems to have surrendered to Cao Cao." Yang Xiu said, he knew why Ma Chao suddenly asked about Han Hao.Because in the entire Jizhou battlefield, except for Han Hao who used this kind of crossbow when he was the governor of Hedong, there was no news of this kind of crossbow.

"After the defeat?" Ma Chao had no choice but to imagine boldly. He found that once Cao Cao was involved in everything, there would be another person's shadow, which gave him a headache: "When exactly?"

"During the Battle of Guandu."

"Before the Guandu battle, or after the war?" Ma Chao asked further. At this time, no details will be ignored: "This is very important. It is related to the purpose of my coming to Hedong, and it may even be related to the entire Jizhou battlefield."

"Investigate immediately." Seeing the importance of the incident, Yang Xiu responded cautiously.

But Ma Chao had no choice but to temporarily put this nonsensical matter aside, turned his head and asked Wei Yan: "How is the situation at the Hedongwei's house?"
