Chapter 1124 Another interception
After Sima Yi was pulled out from Lecheng County, Ma Chao hurried all the way thereafter. The state of forced march exhausted Sima Yi's energy, making the communication between the two of them very rare these days.Sometimes, Ma Chao even ate and slept in the saddle. Such a hot day and continuous rush soon overwhelmed Sima Yi, who was a child of a family.

After crossing the Flying Fox Path, Ma Chao has come to the territory of Youzhou.However, this time he went to White Wolf Mountain secretly, so Ma Chao did not enter the official roads of the prefectures. Under the leadership of several white horse followers who were familiar with the terrain, Ma Chao marched on secluded paths.

"My lord..." Sima Yi groaned from behind, and he even said with a hint of pleading: "I know the significance of this White Wolf Mountain alliance is of great significance to the Ma family, but we are already in a hurry Six days. This terrible toss, you must take a breather, right?..."

Ma Chao stopped his horse and looked back at the poor Sima Yi.Young boys have this privilege, and gifted and capable gifted boys have the right to act like a spoiled child occasionally.Ma Chao glanced at Sima Yi's still immature and cunning Zhengtai face, and couldn't help but sighed: "Forget it, there is a tea shed in front, let's take a rest here, have lunch and rest for a while, and then move on."

When Sima Yi heard this, his eyes finally sparkled: "My lord, I'm really worried, you are deliberately punishing and torturing me..."

Ignoring Sima Yi's grievances, Ma Chao got off his horse first, arrived at the tea shed in a few steps, and ordered the shopkeeper to clear up a few tables and serve herbal tea.Although the tea shed is small, there are also some side dishes such as salted peanuts, which Ma Chao also asked to serve.The store owner saw that a group of more than a dozen people came to do business on this road, and the sleepiness in the summer afternoon was swept away, and Pidian got busy, and the whole tea shed suddenly became angry.

It is not an exaggeration for Sima Yi to cry out for grievances. It is the most difficult time after entering the autumn tiger in August.In such a hot weather, the scorching sun seemed to be on fire. Although Ma Chao's martial arts had reached a certain level, his body's resistance could already slightly avoid the cold and heat.But the march in the past few days has also made the expensive white plain brocade robe on his body wet with sweat, and he no longer has the supernatural demeanor of Yongliang brocade Ma Chao.

The tea shed was built under a huge sycamore tree. The luxuriant canopy and wide branches and leaves stubbornly blocked the sunlight from the fire, making the fragmented shadows projected on the ground somewhat cool.However, the weeds beside the tree roots were still growing feebly, and the tips of the grass were drooping like sickly due to the scorching heat, and began to dry up.They are about to reach the end of their lives, and they have a sign of withering and powerlessness resigned to fate, which has a very incongruous tone with the bustling tea shed.

Sima Yi, who was dying before, ran to the tea shed with strange steps, and drank three bowls of herbal tea in one go.Seeing that Sima Yi, who always pays attention to his image, is so unmannered, Ma Chao couldn't help smiling.However, after thinking that this young man might be involved in a conspiracy that might destroy the Ma family, his smile was like a summer flower that has suffered a cruel frost, and his stiffness disappeared immediately.

"My lord..." Brother Chou's majestic body skillfully concealed the change in Ma Chao's expression. Ma Chao reacted immediately, but he was still struggling with how to unravel the mystery surrounding Sima Yi.And after Brother Chou saw that Ma Chao had recovered quickly, he yelled at the store to provide good fodder for the horses—the previous gear, just like this, naturally disappeared without a trace.

Sima Yi devoured the salted peanuts and the dry food, not even noticing the little tricks between Ma Chao and Brother Chou.And the store owner was also a discerning person. He saw that Ma Chao was the leader of the team, so he specially took a ladle of water from a copper basin, washed it clean, then took out a square towel, and brought it to Ma Chao to signal Ma Chao to wash his face and dust.

Although Ma Chao has long been a high-ranking person in this world, he couldn't help being delighted that he could not expect to enjoy such enjoyment in such a simple tea shed.And after he scrubbed, there happened to be another gust of wind. Although he was still bored with the scorching heat, the stimulation of the cold water always refreshed him.

The herbal tea in the bowl has been drunk by the personal guard a long time ago, and it is non-toxic.But when Ma Chao picked up the tea bowl, his nostrils trembled slightly, and he smelled a very familiar hot smell through the hot wind blowing.Ma Chao's figure moved in horror, a cold imprint split from his heart, and gradually extended to his whole body, even his toes became cold: "There is an ambush!"

The next moment, a guard suddenly screamed. Ma Chao looked up, but saw a silver arrow had pierced his vest.The relaxed expression that had just appeared on his face hadn't faded away, and the warm corpse fell down!

Such a change immediately aroused the instincts of the people in the army, and everyone immediately looked for obstacles to avoid.And Sima Yi, who had just eaten half full, was pushed under the table by Brother Chou - Ma Chao's order was to kill Sima Yi when he had a clear rebellion.But when such a situation happens now, then Sima Yi is the person who should be protected most besides Ma Chao in this scene!
Ma Chao's heart for martial arts burst out instantly, and murderous intent spread like needles, covering the entire tea shed like a tide.However, what surprised Ma Chao was that after some investigation, he didn't notice any murderous intentions.It seems that this branch came out of nowhere from outside the tea shed, without a trace.

However, Cicada on the big tree seemed to be infected with this chilling and tense atmosphere, and the piercing and annoying chirping had stopped at some point.The rustling of the leaves was getting louder and louder, the wind was blowing harder and harder, and the flowing air was dry and hot, and it was quite uncomfortable to blow on the face.

The strong uneasiness stimulated Ma Chao's nerves, and he naturally knew what he was going to face next.However, at this moment, he suddenly smelled the familiar smell that made him feel more and more intense. Ma Chao's mind was moved, and his fair face became paler and more transparent for a moment: "Everyone get out!"

Ma Chao's subordinates couldn't understand Ma Chao's orders at this moment. They were hiding in the tea shed at the moment, and there were still some obstacles to block the bows and arrows of the enemy who didn't know where. But if they all ran out, everyone would become moving arrows. target!
But Ma Chao's next anxious and angry words made them have no room to refuse: "I smell the smell of sulfur, this tea shed is a trap for us - they want to set fire to us!" At the sound, Ma Chao rushed out of the tea shed like a flash of brocade lightning, and his nimble and jumping figure was like a white fox jumping on the snow, dodging nimbly and seamlessly, making arrows shot from any angle disappear. target.

However, Ma Chao's drive did not lead to any arrow feathers.Perhaps, no one was confident that he could kill Ma Chao with one blow, so he gave up this perfect assassination.But the guards of the Ma family in the tea shed hadn't reacted yet, but Sima Yi, who was held down by Brother Chou, said to Brother Chou, "Quickly, run out! My lord's ability to avoid danger is hundreds of times better than ours!"

Brother Chou didn't know whether Sima Yi was praising or belittling Ma Chao, but there was no doubt that what he said was the truth.At that moment, Brother Chou picked up Sima Yi and rushed out like an angry bull.He doesn't have Ma Chao's excellent footwork and martial arts, but he can guarantee that such a rough and simple method can give his body enough instinctive reaction time to avoid a blow when the arrow hits... At least, he also has time to turn Body, use your body to block the arrow that shoots at Sima Yi.

With Ma Chao and Brother Chou taking the lead, all the subordinates of the personal guards finally came to their senses, and rushed out of the tea shed with their own unique life-saving methods.This process seems to be layered and lengthy.But in fact, this is just the reincarnation acceptance and reaction time between two or three seconds.Ma Chao's personal guards did not live up to the principle that soldiers obey orders as soon as possible.

Some of them even began to move their bodies after their brains received Ma Chao's orders—it can only be said that the reactions of Ma Chao, Sima Yi, and Brother Chou were a fraction of a second faster than ordinary people. .

However, even with such a reaction of the body faster than the brain's thinking, it still did not escape the enemy's calculations.It can be said that just after the signal of the dark arrow was sent out, a loud "boom" came from the rear of the tea shed the next moment, thick smoke surged with the wind, and it seemed that the fierce flames that had formed in an instant had already soared into the sky!
