Yi Xiaotian stepped forward, dumbfounded, and rubbed Zhen Luo's head. Zhen Luo's grievance was like a dam bursting. She threw herself into Yi Xiaotian's arms with a 'wow' and burst into tears...

Huang Yueying bit her lip, and finally decided to tell Yi Xiaotian the truth:

"Sir... Don't blame Sister Luo'er, all this is my idea. Sister Luo'er has been in a daze every time she stays in the room these days... She thinks that she is not helping Mr. Luo, but Sister Luo'er So gentle, I don't want to disturb Mr. at this time... Sir, think about it, you haven't spoken to Sister Luo'er for a few days..."

"Ah...Sister Yueying, you...I...Sir, I...I didn't make trouble without reason...Luo Er knows that Mr. is doing something very important..."

but…

Zhen Luo didn't say what he said. When it comes to fighting in battle, few women have to work hard. Zhen Luo can do business, cook, and is a good wife and mother... But this is an era of war.

Every time she sees Yi Xiaotian busy dealing with the enemy, she gradually feels that she is redundant... When she can't help, she thinks that she can be as skilled in martial arts as Lu Lingqi, or... like Huang Yueying.

Yes, how much contribution Huang Yueying made in the battle of Xiangyang is obvious to all, but in comparison, she can only cook some meals at home, waiting for Yi Xiaotian, Huang Yueying and others to return.

A woman... It's hard not to compare with others, and Zhen Luo has such a gentle and considerate temperament, she knows that she shouldn't be jealous of others, so she can only lock herself in the room.

Today... Yi Xiaotian's hand on her head, the warmth, seems to have finally broken her tightly locked mood.

Tears fell like rain, Zhen Luo deflated a small mouth, and while hiding his thoughts, he couldn't stop the tears of grievance.

Only Yi Xiaotian, who was hugged tightly by her, suddenly understood this.

Yi Xiaotian finally showed guilt in his eyes, he leaned down, took out a silk cloth in one hand, wiped away the tears for Zhen Luo, and apologized to Zhen Luo with a wry smile:

"Luo Er... Mr. is dull and didn't notice your mood... Mr. is busy with the war these days, and he really forgot to take care of your mood..."

"but…"

"Sir! Luoer really doesn't matter!"

Zhen Luo was quite excited, she didn't want Yi Xiaotian to apologize to herself, and in a hurry, she had to explain.

But Yi Xiaotian shook his head.

"But Luo Er, you remember, here Mr., each of you is my solid backing - Yueying, she can help me share the pressure of war and military, Zhao Ji, she can help me manage Chang'an business, Diaochan is also working extremely hard to learn from Zhao Ji..."

"And Lingqi, as you all know, her martial arts skills are strong... and Luo Er... Mr. loves your cooking skills the most in this life, and every time the gentleman can't hold on to it in the city, as long as he thinks about returning to the mansion, he will Being able to use your smiling face and the delicious food on that table, I can also relieve the fatigue and the thought of giving up..."

"Sir! I'm sorry!! Yes... it's Luo Er who is over-hearted... Luo Er will definitely not complain about Mr. in the future..."

Zhen Luo cried even harder, but when the two heard Zhen Luo's last words, they all smiled, knowing that Zhen Luo's heart was completely resolved.

Yi Xiaotian coughed twice and said casually:

"Oops, Mr.'s ears are not good. It seems that someone has eyes full of me in his heart? Who said that he has nothing to do with it?"

"what!"

Realizing that he missed what he said, Zhen Luo pushed Yi Xiaotian away, Yi Xiaotian almost stumbled to the ground, and Zhen Luo lost his voice and hurriedly held him for another day.

Yi Xiaotian smiled in surprise:

"Luo Er, do you want to stay away from Mr., or close to Mr.?"

"Oh... it's all... it's all your fault..."

Zhen Luo's little face was blushing and was about to smoke. Being teased so badly, Huang Yueying also giggled at the side.

In short - with such a small episode, Yi Xiaotian can be regarded as having a much better mood.

Since they are all with him, it is better to have a family fun in Yecheng... But the feasibility of all this depends on whether they can catch up to Ma Teng on the way...

-

at the same time.

Ma Teng, who only brought a few servants, was speeding on the road at the moment.

The worry between his eyebrows has not been resolved since he left Xudu, and the reason is very simple...

Han Sui turned back... he even had to fight back against his own sons and daughters. He didn't understand... He didn't understand... Therefore, he had to go personally.

If this grievance can be resolved, it would be great, but if not... Ma Teng has a big head and has a lot of thoughts in his heart, so he naturally ignores the situation around him.

Unconsciously, the group of people who entered the jungle did not seem to notice. Soon after, a group of people hidden in the night quickly followed their pace.

Chapter [-]: It is difficult to break through with the hostages

"General! After passing this forest, within ten miles, we will reach Wuguan City... After Wuguan, should we go directly to Chang'an, or..."

The attendants accompanying him were all veterans with many years of friendship with Ma Teng when he left Xiliang to enter the customs.

Not only are they highly skilled in martial arts, but they also know the terrain inside and outside of the customs like the back of their hands, so they are natural guides.

This time, Ma Teng walked in a hurry, so he took their advice and walked on the mountain path, instead of always choosing to drive. "Have you all arrived at Wuguan?"

Ma Teng thought about it for a while, and saw that everyone was a little tired, so he ordered everyone to speed up, and when he arrived at Wuguan City, he would spend the night at the inn beside him.

Wuguan is one of the four passes in the ancient Qin Dynasty, and Hanguguan is not far to the east.

Wuguan City is adjacent to Shaoxi Mountain in the north, built on the dangerous mountain, and surrounded by the deep river valleys of Wuguan on the south, east and west sides, which is a must for military strategists.

It's a pity now that if Zhang Luhan succeeded in his rebellion and took Chang'an, this Wuguan would not help Cao Cao resist the strong enemy, but would become an obstacle when Cao Cao marched into Guanzhong in the future.

Abandoning these unnecessary distractions, Ma Teng and his party were less than ten people, and they went around the mountain road and quickly approached Wuguan City.

However, what surprised Ma Teng the most was that before he got to Wuguan City, he saw the fire outside the city from a distance.

what is that?

"Could it be that there is a team of officers and soldiers ahead?"

Ma Teng mentioned it casually, but suddenly everyone became nervous.

Ma Teng thought that he would leave without saying goodbye, in case Xun Yu regarded him as a traitor, and the other party set up many obstacles along the way, he wanted to feel that Chang'an was a fool's dream as soon as possible, so he instinctively wanted to avoid the fire .

However, as soon as I had the idea of ​​taking a detour in my heart, the figure in the distance began to shake. Not only that, but the person in the lead seemed to have discovered himself long ago, and shouted at this side:

"Is the person coming from General Fubo Ma Teng?"

Huh... Ma Teng's heart skipped a beat. He heard that the other party even knew his identity, so he didn't need to run away. He thought about how to get out, but he replied unabashedly:

"Exactly, I dare to ask if your Excellency is the captain of this Wuguan City? How did you know the whereabouts of this general in advance?"

"Hahaha...General Ma don't need to panic. Yang Jin, the commander of Xiawuguan City, is under the order of General Ma Chao of Chang'an. Here we are waiting for the general's arrival. Since everyone has come to Wuguan City, I would like to ask the general to show his face and let the general take care of the general."

The figures under the lights became clearer and clearer. Ma Teng narrowed his eyes slightly. He saw that there were nearly a hundred people coming, all of them were tall and strong cavalrymen, and the chubby man with torches at the head was fully armed. In the middle, I was greeted with a smile on my face.

"Ma Chao? Has the dog ever met the captain?"

However, when he heard the news from Ma Chao, Ma Teng relaxed his vigilance. Not only that, but even the servants who followed Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief and showed a knowing smile.

"It turned out that the Major General had given notice in advance, so it seems..."

The meaning of everyone's words is also very obvious. Since Ma Chao has time to rule people to greet them, the situation in Chang'an must be quite stable.

The commander Yang Jin heard Ma Teng's question, squeezed the mustache around his mouth with a smile, and nodded:

"Not bad! General Ma Chao told me that you will be here in a few days, so I can treat you well and don't rush to leave..."

"I happen to admire General Fubo, please, General, can you give me such a chance... We won't be drunk today?"

Fat Captain Yang Jin said with a smile, looking harmless to humans and animals, but because of the distance, no one seemed to see the killing intent in his eyes.

Ma Teng smiled and nodded, then said with a big laugh:

"Hahaha! If that's the case, then the general will be respectful and will not obey his orders. Come with me into the city!"

With a big wave of his hand, Ma Teng quickly approached Yang Jin's team on his horse, but the change only happened in an instant.

The corners of Yang Jin's mouth curved into a strange arc, and his eyes were a little gloomy. The moment he met Ma Teng, he was about to order the people in front of him to be killed on the spot, but he didn't want to——

"You! What are you doing!"

wow-

The long sword was unsheathed, and Ma Teng's servants drew their swords instantly, killing several cavalry around Yang Jin in just one click.

Those cavalrymen gushed blood from their necks and fell to the ground neatly. However, this sudden change caused nearly a hundred of Yang Jin's subordinates to show their sharp blades.

"Let go of the captain! Spare your life!"

Clap la la la—the sound of rapid footsteps and the swishing sound of clothing and armor colliding with forest leaves merged together. In front of the empty Wuguan City, there were suddenly dozens of men in black with powerful bows and crossbows.

And they surrounded Ma Teng and his party. The only reason they didn't do anything was because Ma Teng put the saber on Yang Jin's neck at the moment when he met Yang Jin just now, and put one hand tightly around Yang Jin's neck. The other party dragged the other party to his own horse.

Coercion... No... It should be said that this is a sense of crisis that Ma Teng has cultivated over the years as a warlord in Xiliang. The decision to take hostages.

It's just... Obviously, they are already under siege, and even if there are hostages, the situation at the moment is quite critical.

"Give me ten steps back!"

Ma Teng stared fiercely at the densely packed soldiers around him, but his face was extremely ugly.

He didn't know why he was being targeted by this group of people, but he instinctively felt that these people could never be the people sent by Xun Lingjun to kill him... Xun Lingjun is a person who is upright and upright, and never did such a sinister and cunning act. possibility of things.

Other possible...

My heart was chaotic, but Yang Jin, who was in front of him, shouted loudly:

"Don't listen to him! Leave me alone, kill Ma Teng! The mission is the first, kill Ma Teng!"

Fatty Yang was obviously broken. He really didn't expect that the other party would be able to see through his disguise.

"If you take another step forward, your captain's life will be lost!"

Ma Teng took the initiative and directly cut a bloodstain on Yang Jin's neck with the edge of the knife.

The confrontation between the two sides continued, which made Ma Teng feel his scalp tingling.

"Hehe... General Ma, don't think about being able to leave alive today, it's worth paying back the life of your big man, General Fubo, with my cheap life, Yang Jin!"

Yang Jin looked like he was not afraid of death, which made Ma Teng feel quite tricky.

"General! What to do..."

Ma Teng did not speak. Seeing this, Yang Jin smiled and asked Ma Teng who was holding him hostage, as if to exert infinite pressure on Ma Teng:

"Speaking of which, General Ma, how did you see through the disguise, and how did you see that we didn't want to wash the dust for you?"

"How can my son let me not worry at such a critical moment? I can't wait to fly in front of him on the spot, he has followed me for so many years, if he can't even tell right from wrong, see if I don't break his legs! "

The flesh on Yang Jin's face suddenly trembled stiffly, but he didn't expect that he would overturn the car because of these words.

Chapter five hundred and eighty third Ma Teng closed his eyes

The situation quickly became a stalemate, but Ma Teng knew that this was not a long-term solution. If they could not use the hostage Yang Jin in front of them to break through, they would have died here in vain today.
