Chapter 1353 Behind the Assassination

After Ma Chao climbed three steps in front of Dian Wei and Dong Yi, he stopped. Then he took out a match from his arms, lit one, and lit a half-piece candle. The faint candlelight quickly brought the scene in front of him into Ma Chao's eyes. He looked at Dian Wei, who was unwilling to close his eyes on the ground, and Dong Yi, who was full of crazy faces, holding a crossbow machine, and his back was chills.

If Dong Yi, a stupid woman, hadn't been ill at the last moment, it would have been impossible for him to avoid such a fatal blow in the secret passage. Not to mention, Dong Yi still has a handful of poison*. Even if the shark skin chain gold inner armor on the body can prevent the penetration of poisonous arrows, it can generally shoot into unprotected places such as arms or face, and there is absolutely no life.

However, it seems that neither of them will be able to pose a threat to themselves. Ma Chao looked at the blood-stained body in front of him and was silent for a long time, but he did not come forward to repair the sword and completely cut off the lives of the two people. Instead, he said to himself, "Is it over?"

His tone was as indifferent and kind as the old man who saw through the hatred of the world, without any hostility. However, Dong Yi did not care about Ma Chao's mood. She endured the strong pain and pulled out a crossbow and tried her best to put it into the shooting groove. Seeing this, Ma Chao bent down and walked through Dian Wei's body. The bottom of his boots was stained with Dong Yi's blood and red mud. After loading the poisoned arrow into the shooting tank, he took it in his own hands - he would not learn any master demeanor and make Dong Yi repent after shooting his arrow at the last moment.

Because he knew that Dong Yi, a woman, would not hesitate to shoot the poison arrow.

"I have nothing to say about you. You always think that people and things in the world should follow your heart. Everything is you, and you deserve everything. Throwing * aside, Ma Chao looked at Dong Yi's ferocious and chaotic face, as if he saw the most vicious and selfish figurative face in human nature: "People like you are so lonely to die in such a secret way."

Dong Yi still had no feeling at the last moment. Only the premonition of death was felt like a dead man's cold finger slowly scratching her back, and she couldn't help trembling. However, her answer to Ma Chao's words was: "Ma Chao, you have ruined me in this life. If possible in the next life, I will definitely destroy your family and make your life worse than death!"

"In the next life?" After Ma Chao heard this word, his tone was also a little confused. He never believes in causal reincarnation, but in his last life, he lived in a prosperous but cruel steel jungle. If there was an afterlife, where would he be? Will you go to a starry era with silent complaints?

"Your heart is confused," Dian Wei's voice sounded in the dark. Although he was weak, his tone was still determined. "I didn't expect that the majestic King Yong would also be confused by such a woman's words. What kind of contradictory person are you and why do you want to appear in this world again?

"Is there anything wrong with me appearing?" Ma Chao turned around and smiled: "People like me are needed in troubled times, and naturally people like Cao Cao are also needed. However, when we are too similar, we will use all means to decide the winner. I can't avoid this kind of thing, let alone retreat.

"Ha ha, that's true. However, I don't quite understand what you said. Listen, if you are still a warrior, kill me with a sword now. I believe that Cao Gong and Lord Xi will avenge me. The voice in the dark was extremely tired, and Dian Wei, a martial arts master, knew his situation and ending very well.

"No, they won't." Ma Chaoyou replied, and he pulled out the iron sword on his waist and came to Dian Wei.

In the dark secret channel, there was a "bang" sound, which was the sound of metal piercing flesh and blood. Dian Wei's eyes suddenly widened, and his two dry lips squirmed but could not make a sound. Then he coughed violently and could see that his mouth was full of blood, but he still struggled to make a sound: "It's a good cough... It's much more honor to die under the sword of King Yong than to be killed by an arrow by a crazy woman... Thank you, King Yong."

Dian Wei's voice sank, and soon fell into silence in the secret channel. But after Ma Chao pulled out his sword, his face was not good-looking. After reaching out and closing his eyes, he slowly said, "You can go. Soon a lot of people will accompany you..."

In the end, Ma Chao remained sentimental and continued to move forward in the direction of the front hole. He knew that he might not be able to catch up with Xi Zhicai, but at the same time, he also knew that Xi Zhicai could not run away at all this time. This secret road should lead to the backyard of Cai's mansion. Brother Chou, Ma Dai and Ma Xiu have been forced to lead troops to besiege Cai's mansion. He walked like this, but he just wanted to use the darkness here to make himself more ruthless.

Because the next thing will be a hundred times more bloody than this. His heart must be as cold as iron!

And Dong Yi in the secret passage, with the passage of time, held her head in one arm and curled up in the secret passage in horror. Only this posture can make her feel a little safe. She was like a frightened kitten and could only mutter to herself helplessly, "Father, grandma, sister, where are you? Yi'er misses you very much..."

Out of the secret road, Ma Chao saw that Cai's house was in chaos, and his sudden appearance scared Cai Mao out of courage. Subsequently, the gate was knocked open by Jianma, and no one in the whole Cai family dared to resist. The current ugly brother saw that Ma Chao was safe and sound and reported loudly, "Lord, my subordinates are not humiliating. This operation was a complete victory, and the enemy's leader was also captured."

Ma Chao sighed, looked at the trembling people in Cai's house, and said, "All of them are taken to the prison, and you will personally preside over the trial. As for the talent, let's follow the old rules of Chang'an.

Chou brother smiled, and naturally knew that Ma Chao's old rule was house arrest. I know that Ma Chao did this for the best after the unification of the world.

In the next few days, Xiangyang City was bustling, and it only arrested people and tried cases every day. Speaking of this case, it is the most sensational case in Xiangyang City, which has been calm for many years. It pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, which actually involved four or five government buildings, 60 or 70 large merchant families, and more than 2,000 criminals. The traitor involved with Cai Mao was swept away, and finally the ugly brother came to report to Ma Chao, and the case was basically clear.

It's similar to Ma Chao's guess. This case was done by Cao's remote control of Cai Mao, taking advantage of the network of Jing An Cao and Cai Mao's deep-rooted influence in Xiangyang. When Cao Ang sent the alliance letter, this big action to assassinate Ma Chao began to operate. In view of Cao's insidious treatment of the Ma family, Ma Chao immediately ordered Cao Ang to be imprisoned in Xiangyang City and wait for the army to calm down the Cao family before making a decision.

This result can be said to have surprised the Ma family's Wenwu. No matter how you look at it, Cao's doing so, killing Cao Ang's flag and sacrificing the crusade is already light. And Ma Chao has never been a soft-hearted guy. He has slaughtered Cai Mao's party. Why is Cao Ang so tolerant?

Rumor has it that Ma Chao secretly fell in love with Mrs. Cao Ang and took Cao Ang as a hostage to force Mrs. Cao Ang to comply. However, as soon as this rumor rose, it was immediately explained by another rumor.

"Bullshit, what a greedy for Mrs. Cao Ang's beauty? Isn't it more convenient to kill Cao Ang and monopolize his wife? I heard that what King Yong did this time was already hated by the Cao family. After gathering the Cao family, he would watch them be killed by the whole family!"

This rumor is much more powerful than the previous one, and the people in Xiangyang soon believed the second explanation. And Ma Jiajun's recent frequent mobilization and large-scale preparation activities have also made this rumor more convincing. However, only Tang Xiaomi, the county guard, knows that the method of covering up another with one rumor has been studied by the shadow of the Ma family for many years. That's the best way to deal with rumors.

"Xiaomi, thank you for not killing your husband." Tang Xiaomi Yingying fell down, and she didn't know what words she would be grateful for.

"Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, thank your Gao Weng." Ma Chao looked at the report sent by Xun You that the army could go on an expedition at any time and smiled leisurely.

"Cao Gong?"

"That's right, that's him." Ma Chao put away the report and explained, "Sending Cao Ang hostage seems to be Cao Cao's stupidest way. However, I know that he is looking for the last way out for Cao. Because he knows that you will know half a star of the news about my assassination anyway, and he will never betray the Ma family. I feel your kindness, and naturally I won't kill Cao Ang. In this way, Cao Cao will smile happily and easily pick you and Cao Ang; when Ma Cao finally makes a final decision, Cao Cao has a clear understanding of this decisive battle, so keeping Cao Ang is to leave the last bloodline for Cao..."

"Original, so..." Tang Xiaomi was shocked. She didn't expect that the conspiracy was so complete and unfalling.

At this time, Xu Rong appeared armed and anxiously told Ma Chao, "Lord, Xichuan Liu Bei has sent troops!"
