The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 815 814 Avoid Tracking
It had been two days since Ma Chao escaped, and Pang Tong set up checkpoints at every critical pass, and checked the passers-by along the way. Because Ma Chao was so skilled in martial arts, ordinary people couldn't deal with him, so he sent a lot of soldiers just in case.

But this is also very strange. It has been two days, and no trace of Ma Chao has been found in all checkpoints. No one knows where he went.

However, Pang Tong set up a heavy army in Zitong and blocked all the exits. He can be sure that Ma Chao must not have left Zitong, otherwise, it is impossible for him not to leave some clues.

Just as Pang Tong guessed, Ma Chao did not leave, he was still hiding near Zitong, but he had not crossed the checkpoints in Zitong, because these checkpoints were too strict, and there were portraits of Ma Chao posted everywhere, and he became a wanted man for a while. Most of the soldiers guarding the checkpoint are in a team of a hundred. Even if they force their way through, no matter how powerful Ma Chao is, he cannot kill a hundred people at the same time.

Ma Chao hid in the dark, watching those who passed by being interrogated one by one, and the interrogation was very careful, thinking that it would be as difficult as going to heaven for him to pass here.

However, it is man-made, and the tiger sometimes takes a nap. Ma Chao has been watching every move here in the dark, and will never let go of any opportunity.

On this day, Ma Chao finally waited for the opportunity. A vehicle full of Yexiang drove slowly towards the checkpoint. All passers-by gave way and covered their mouths and noses, not wanting to smell the stinky things.

In the end, the soldiers guarding the pass quickly passed the checkpoint without careful inspection. This incident gave him an idea, and he sneaked back to a village secretly, and exchanged the jade pendant he carried with him for such a pair. Ma Chao himself changed his appearance for fear of being discovered.

In the evening, Ma Chao, who had changed his appearance, was no doubt like an ordinary peddler. He drove a donkey cart and walked swaggeringly on the official road. Behind the donkey was pulling Yexiang full of excrement. Wherever he passed, there was a stench. Floating, all people cover their noses and walk quickly.

To be honest, if he was not forced to, Ma Chao would definitely not choose to use this method to break through the barrier. Although he did not come from a wealthy family, he was not reduced to the boundary of feces. The challenge was the stench that came to his nostrils all the time. Ma Chao forced himself to smell it by the side of the cesspit for a long time before he developed such courage. No matter how strong the stench was, it would not make him faint.

There was a bell tied around the donkey's neck, and it would jingle as soon as it moved. Moreover, there was a stench around it, which made people afraid to avoid it.

Ma Chao drove the Yexiang car, and soon came to the vicinity of the checkpoint. The soldiers guarding the checkpoint saw the Yexiang car coming from a long distance. Before the Yexiang car arrived, many soldiers covered their mouths and noses. He hid far away, fearing that his body would be contaminated with a bad smell, so he just checked casually and told Ma Chao to leave here quickly.

Don't mention how happy Ma Chao was in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. He was thinking about how many hurdles he had to escape from Zitong.

Along the way, Ma Chao used a similar method to pass two checkpoints by chance. When he reached the third checkpoint, he passed it easily. At this time, it was already dark and torches were raised around the checkpoint. Ma Chao let it go, and before he had walked a few meters, suddenly a person shouted from behind: "Stop!"

Ma Chao was startled, and the hand holding the rein tightened even more. If there was any accident, he would attack the opponent first. Only in this way could he seize the opportunity.

"It's so late, why haven't you poured out your Ye Xiang? Where are you going to dump it?" A team leader came over and asked.

Ma Chao heard that they all speak Sichuan dialect. If he uses a language other than Sichuan dialect, he will probably be spotted. The most important thing is that he does not speak Sichuan dialect, even if he learns it, he will not be able to learn it. It is better not to open your mouth if you show your feet, maybe it will be safer.

Seeing that Ma Chao didn't answer, the captain got angry and asked sharply, "I'm asking you something. It's so late. What are you doing here? Where are you going to pour your Yexiang?"

Ma Chao listened carefully, but couldn't answer, so he pretended to be dumb and pointed fingers there, saying that he couldn't hear clearly and couldn't answer them.

"It turned out to be a mute!" said the captain.

At this time, a soldier laughed loudly and said, "Captain, you have asked so many questions, are you going to steal Ye Xiang at night?"

"Hahaha……"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers immediately burst into laughter.

The captain couldn't control that much anymore, he waved his hand casually, let Ma Chao go, then turned around and went back to beat the soldier who teased him.

Ma Chao heaved a sigh of relief. He was really safe and sound. Just as he was about to drive Yexiang's car forward, a powerful voice suddenly came out: "You who are pouring Yexiang, stop!"

Ma Chao was taken aback again, how come the more critical it is, the easier it is to make trouble?

He originally wanted to run, but if he ran away like this, he might show his feet. After that, it would be even more difficult to pass other levels in this way.

So, Ma Chao stood there without moving, just quietly waiting for what would happen next, all of which were unknown to him!

A middle-aged man in leather armor and a leather helmet walked up to Ma Chao. His complexion was sallow, as if he was sick, but his eyes were very bright. He had a square face and two mustaches above his lips. About 30 years old, this person's identity is the head of the village, the chief of the hundred people, his surname is Gao and his name is Xiang.

"Aba, aba, aah... aba..." Ma Chao imitated the speech of a mute, and danced and gestured.

After Gao Xiang saw it, he didn't say much, but his eyes stayed on Ma Chao's feet. A pair of high-quality military boots were placed in front of him.His eyes lit up, and he quickly touched the handle of the knife with his right hand, pulled it out with a "shua", and swung it directly at Ma Chao.

Ma Chao's eyes were also watching Gao Xiang's hand all the time. Seeing that a knife was about to strike, he couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly jumped several meters backwards, leaving Gao Xiang in the air.

"Sure enough, there is a problem! Come and catch him, he is Ma Chao!" Gao Xiang just wanted to test him out, but who knew it was really Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was also unambiguous, since he had been exposed anyway, he tossed off his clothes, revealing a close-fitting outfit, and ran into the woods by the roadside in a flash, and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that Ma Chao had run away, Gao Xiang immediately reported to the higher authorities, and then reported layer by layer, and finally returned to Pang Tong's hands.

When Pang Tong learned that Ma Chao was nearby, he immediately sent more people to carry out another carpet search, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he still wanted to find Ma Chao.

A large net was quickly spread within tens of miles of where Ma Chao appeared, and Zitong was heavily guarded. Ma Chao hid in Tibet, and got into deep mountains and old forests to avoid being tracked.

However, Pang Tong seemed to know where Ma Chao was hiding. Every time Ma Chao arrived, the Han army would come, forcing Ma Chao to leave again and continue to hide deeper in the mountains.

For two days in a row, Ma Chao didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. He drank mountain spring water when he was thirsty, ate wild fruits from the mountain when he was hungry, and never even slept for more than two hours. He didn't dare to light a fire for fear that people would find him , After another two days like this, Ma Chao was exhausted and his spirit was very tense. Once he found any abnormal noise, his whole body would be like a frightened bird.

On the fifth day, bad luck came one after another. Due to the lack of rest these days, mental stress, and the cold air in the mountains, he fell ill unknowingly. First, he had a slight runny nose, and then he began to feel hot and cold again. , The whole body twitched, limbs were weak, and the mind was even more muddled, and even the spirit was in a trance.But in order to avoid being tracked, Ma Chao still dragged his sickly body, walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow in the rocky mountains, towards higher peaks and deeper forests.

At the same time, Pang Tong was worried about not being able to find Ma Chao for five consecutive days. According to intelligence, there were indeed footprints and traces of rest left by someone in the mountains, but he could not be found. This mountain can be climbed to another mountain, he was thinking, could he have guessed wrong, Ma Chao had already left Zitong?
When Pang Tong was still confused, Wang Ping personally escorted Ma Dai to Pang Tong. Pang Tong then wanted to use Ma Dai as a bait to get someone to speak out and give Ma Chao three days. Come, he beheaded Ma Dai to show the public.

All of a sudden, there were shouts everywhere in the mountain forest, and the birds and beasts in the mountain were frightened away. Ma Chao, who was in the mountain, also vaguely heard the news. At this moment, he was hiding in a cave with a bed of The thick dry grass, the whole person curled up there, the body was constantly twitching, hot and cold, fighting against the disease.

In the past, the princes of one side ended up in such a state today, and Ma Chao felt sad for a while. Looking back on all the past events, did he really do something wrong?

Ma Chao didn't listen to a word of his father's honest teachings. Now that he thinks about it, Ma Chao regrets it, knowing that his father is the most far-sighted, and every word he said was for his own good.

But until now, it was too late to say anything, Ma Chao only felt that his body was floating in the air, and gradually flew towards the sky.At the same time, there seemed to be a series of footsteps in his ears, and he could vaguely see a few figures in a trance...
