The Book of Heaven

Chapter 162 Chapter [-] The Enemy Meets
Although the huge territory of the Han Empire can reflect the powerful vitality of the empire, the backward transportation methods have become extremely prominent due to the huge territory.

For example, if an order from the imperial palace in Chang'an City needs to be conveyed to an important town like Tianshui City, it will take three days to go through the fastest way, the post road.

And an ordinary administrative order, such as a wanted order, is issued from Chang'an City and received by the Chengdu Mansion in Yizhou, Bashu, at least fifteen days. Unless it is a heinous criminal wanted order, the court will spare no effort to go down To send it to all government offices across the country, it will take at least three months.

This kind of time is still an official method, and it is naturally slower when it comes to the transmission of private news.

So even if the third uncle told Ma Zhao that Ma Zheng could be found in Bashu, when Ma Zhao entered Bashu, his eyes were still darkened.

For this era, Bashu is too huge, let alone Bashu, it is just a mere Yizhou, and it is not something that Ma Zhao can run in a short time.

Unless Ma Zhao can use the power of the Bashu government yamen, or even directly use the army, there is no way to find Ma Zheng in a short time.

I'm afraid that even the third uncle would not be able to know the exact location of Ma Zheng at this time, otherwise he would not have given Ma Zhao the antidote for a month at one time.

After arriving in Yizhou, Ma Zhao felt the seriousness of the matter. He was alone, and his fault was not because of his luck. Otherwise, if he was asked to find a wanted criminal who deliberately concealed his identity, he might not be able to succeed even if he spent his entire life. .

Fortunately, Ma Zhao's brain was not really broken, he quickly thought of a method, and the source of this method was a story that Ma Zheng told him when he was bored, an idiom that children of later generations are very familiar with. Story - stay on the sidelines.

Ma Zhao regards himself as a hunter, Chengdu Mansion as a big tree, and Ma Zheng is the rabbit.

It should be said that Ma Zhao's plan is very reasonable. The whole Jiannan Road is looking at Yizhou, and Yizhou is staring at Chengdu Mansion. Basically, as long as there are some disturbances in Chengdu Mansion, it will be spread quickly. The entire Jiannan Road.

Since he couldn't find Ma Zheng, he could only let Ma Zheng find himself after he got the news.

But how can Ma Zheng get the news? After careful consideration, Ma Zhao thought of two words - famous!
People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Once this fame is achieved, it will naturally attract countless attention. Ma Zhao has never thought about the troubles that may be caused after becoming famous. After all, he is still struggling with the problem of "how to become famous" thinking.

When he was with Ma Zheng and his third uncle, even when he was a bandit, he seldom used his brains, probably because he felt that this was not his strong point. For him, using his fists was better than using his brains. Much simpler.

Anything that may violate the laws of the empire cannot be used as a way to become famous, otherwise, before Ma Zheng can find him, he, Ma Zhaojiang, will follow in Ma Zheng's footsteps and run away.

The distressed Ma Zhao found the worst inn in Chengdu Mansion to live in. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, he just held his head and tried to figure out a safe way to become famous.

As far as Ma Zheng's IQ is concerned, if there are no special circumstances, it is very likely that he will never find the safe way to become famous that he wants in this life.It can only be said that he was lucky. When he stayed in the inn for the tenth day, he heard a piece of news.

Someone set up a ring outside the south gate of the city. It is said that it will be held for ten days and ten nights. The owner is a rich family in Jiannan Road, and the purpose of setting up the ring is to select a group of guards for the family.

Upon hearing the news, Ma Zhao's first reaction was that his chance had come.

Being able to openly set up an arena outside the city to recruit guards proves that this family is of extraordinary strength. If it is only rich, the government will never allow the other party to openly set up an arena. In other words, this family must be a well-known family in Jiannan Road , at least one of them.

For such a well-known family to recruit guards, there must be many people paying attention. Thinking of this section, Ma Zheng decided to wait until the start of the group arena.

Since the purpose of the family is to recruit truly capable guards, it is impossible to set up the ring in a hurry, but Ma Zhao ignored this detail and waited outside the south gate of the city every day. Something was wrong, I found someone to inquire about, and there was only rumors about the relationship, but the time for the group arena was set to be held on the [-]th of next month, and there was still a whole month to go.

On the surface, one month seems to be a long time, but if you start from getting the wind and sending it to the children of the Jianghu who are willing to participate in the group arena, and then wait for these children of the Jianghu to rush to Chengdu Mansion, then one month is not only not long, on the contrary. It also seemed a little hasty.

Fortunately, this family probably never expected to be favored by people from all corners of the country outside of Jiannan Road, so they decided to start the group arena directly on No. 20 next month, and select experts to enrich the family guard team.

When Ma Zhao heard that the registration would be on the first day of next month, he decided to practice hard during this time, no matter what, he had to get a good ranking in the group arena, only in this way could he become famous and attract Ma Zheng's attention force.

As for what to do if he really becomes the guard of this family, Ma Zhao will definitely not consider such a "small matter".

What surprised Ma Zhao was that when he was going out of the city to practice one day, he ran into an acquaintance on the road—one of Bai Feixiang's policemen!
In Ma Zhao's heart, Bai Feixiang was the enemy who almost took Ma Zheng's life. He even practiced the "Jade Peeling Sword Technique" hard in order to avenge Ma Zheng. Isn't it just to kill Bai Feixiang and avenge him?

Today, Ma Zhao has mastered seven or eight points of the elite of "Pull Jade Sword Technique", but when he left the Ma Palace, Wei Hua told Ma Zhao that this level is not enough to kill Bai Feixiang, unless Ma Zhao can "Peel the Jade Sword Technique" "Jade Sword Technique" has achieved [-]% of its power.

If Ma Zheng had been by his side to guide Ma Zhao, maybe Ma Zhao would be able to practice the "Jade Peeling Sword Technique" to the extreme within half a year, but unfortunately Ma Zheng is not around, and with Ma Zhao's understanding of martial arts, it is difficult to improve.

The reason why Ma Zhao was able to recognize Bai Feixiang's arrester at a glance was because he hated Bai Feixiang and others too deeply in his heart, so he remembered those people at that time firmly.

And this is worthy of coming, does it mean that Bai Feixiang is also here?
At this juncture, Ma Zhao's mind suddenly cleared up. He controlled his desire to make a move, but secretly followed the catcher, trying to find out where this guy's lair was.

If this arrester walked into the Chengdu government office, Ma Zhao would definitely not be able to continue. He would wait for this guy to come out and find a chance to sneak attack him.

However, to Ma Zhao's surprise and joy, the arrester didn't go into the Yamen, and Ma Zhao followed him all the way, but he arrived at the entrance of a high-grade inn.

Seeing the policeman dressed as a commoner walk into the door of the inn and greet the guy at the door familiarly, Ma Zhao's face immediately showed joy.

For the next three days, Ma Zhao came to watch at dawn, and finally on the afternoon of the third day, he saw Bai Feixiang walk out of the gate of the inn.

The moment he saw Bai Feixiang, his right hand instinctively pinched the "skinning knife" around his waist.
