Chapter 376 [Three Assassins]

(Thank you for the Alliance! Thank you Zhao Wuxiu 2014, ufgw, Lan Shuyue, Gu Qiao Panyan)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In ancient times, what other ways were there in socializing besides feasting? For the powerful and even the vassals of the aristocratic families, there was at least a very noble way, that is, hunting.

This time when Ma Han went south, he made friends first and then drew his sword. Since it was making friends, he had to go through the social way of this era. Hunting is a very good method.

When Ma Han was in western Liaoning and Liaodong, he often hunted, but it was not just his lord who was addicted to hunting, but dispatched a large number of cavalry to divide them into more than a dozen groups, which lasted for half a month. Every spring and autumn, such a spectacular hunting scene of thousands of riders would be staged around Bailang Mountain, Mashou Mountain, and Yiwuwu Mountain.

Using hunting formations, thousands of cavalry chased, worked together, and fought in hunting. Since ancient times, it has been one of the strategies for strong soldiers of the Central Plains dynasty. Unfortunately, as the key areas in the northwest were gradually lost in later generations, no pastures, no good horses, and no enterprising spirit, it was originally the way of strong soldiers of the Central Plains dynasty, but in the end it was carried forward by the nomadic peoples and used it to counter the Central Plains.

Mahan started his career in the northern part of the border, with a semi-herding and half-cultivated farm, and only lacking people, never lacking good horses and good pastures, so he naturally brought this way of hunting and training to the extreme. In comparison, in the Jianghuai area where horses and plains were lacking, hunting was just to satisfy the entertainment of the superiors. For example, Sun Ce's hunting was like this.

Sun Ce is very fond of hunting. He has good archery skills and is better at hunting beasts by throwing halberds and hunting.

Sun Ce was good at practicing halberds, and he often had halberds on his sleeves. He flew like lightning. The fierce gang Yan Yu (Yan Baihu's brother) who was claiming to be able to leap like flying while sitting was talking with Sun Ce. When Sun Ce took out his halberds and killed him in one fell swoop. He could kill a master Zongyue who even admired even the people of Shanyue. Sun Ce's hunting skills are indispensable.

In this moment, Ma Han saw Sun Ce wearing a tassel and three-beam crown on his head, wearing a white dress, and an extraordinary white horse under his crotch. In addition to wearing bows and arrows like others, he also had a leather bag with eight small halberds. It seems that this is Sun Ce's hunting weapon.

Sun Ce's eyes were also staring at the tightly wrapped bow bag on the side of the Ma Han saddle: "This is the rumored 'Demon Eye Bow'? Can Rong Ce see his true face?"

Ma Han smiled and said, "Since you are hunting, why don't you worry about not seeing this bow take action?"

Sun Ceyang laughed: "That's the best! Ce will wait... Oh, why doesn't the general ride on the Red Rabbit Cat?"

Ma Han replied: "The red rabbit's foot is too fast, and it is difficult for the entourage to keep up. If you have to rush forward, you won't ride this horse. Well, this horse is called "Tawu". It is also a good horse, and it is not much inferior to the red rabbit."

Sun Ce patted his white horse's long neck and said with a smile: "Ce's horse is also a treasure horse. It's hard to get along. How about it? Can the general be willing to race first before hunting beasts?"

Cao Cao immediately praised him loudly: "Although Cao has a good horse, unfortunately he is old and cannot compete with the two handsome men." Cao Cao was forty-five years old at that time, and he was indeed considered old.

Sun Ce did not wait for Ma Han to respond, and he clamped his feet. He shouted in his mouth. The white horse ran like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, he was ten steps away. It was indeed a good horse.

Ma Han smiled and turned to Chen Dao. Shi Ah winked, and both of them nodded. The next moment, stepping on the black is like a arrow, leaving the dust.

Looking at the two riders' disappearing backs, Cao Cao looked around and smiled, "I don't know if it's the general or Sun Lang taking the lead first. This time, the hunting must be interesting."

Amid the noise and laughter of the generals, hundreds of riders caught up with him.

Zhou Yu was originally a little worried, but then he thought that even Ma Wen had gone with him, and he was not afraid of the great general, so what was there to worry about him? He immediately greeted him and led more than ten generals from Wu and nearly a hundred entourages, following him.

On the other side, Shi Ah had already walked around quickly, met Chen Dao, and whispered: "Everyone is here, but only one person is missing."

Chen Dao's eyebrows are erected: "Who?"

"It's that young man Ling Tong."

...

Ling Tong actually arrived early, but it was not in the crowd, but on Bagong Mountain.

In the dense forest and above the high branches, Ling Tong carries two swords behind the tree, with his eyes burning, staring at the mountain road outside the forest. This mountain road is the avenue to the top of Bagong Mountain. If the hunter wants to go up the mountain, 90% of it needs to pass here, which is the best place to wait for the rabbit.

Since the lord clearly rejected the challenge of Gan Ning at the banquet, Ling Tong was not discouraged and kept staring at Gan Ning and tried every means to fight. He had thought that he might not be Gan Ning's opponent, but seeing his enemy in front, how could a thirteen-year-old boy weigh the gains and losses and care about life and death?

After learning about the hunting news, Ling Tong keenly realized that this was a good opportunity. So before the soldiers, he ran to the pre-hunting place Bagong Mountain, explored the terrain, and found a place to hide. After that, he brought enough water and food to sneak into the mountains, and lurked for three days and three nights. The day was hot and hot, and the insects and ants were scattered at night, which was especially difficult to pass for a long time. Even the strong-willed adults collapsed. However, Ling Tong fell down. His perseverance in his heart was incredibly a boy who was less than thirteen years old.

Of course, Ling Tong was not a masochist and was seeking guilt. Instead, when the horse general Bagong Mountain was designated as a hunting ground, he searched the mountains on the same day, cleared irrelevant people, and closed the mountains the next day. Then he sent thousands of soldiers to distribute them at the top of the mountain and the foot of the mountain to arrange cordons. Of course, in order to make everyone feel at ease, Ma Han did not take all the security guards, but asked Cao Cao and Sun Ce to send out 300 soldiers, each of which demarcated the warning areas in pieces, and crossed the control areas along the way. If Ling Tong had not entered the mountain early and ambushed early, and waited for the cordons to be arranged, unless he turned into a bird, it would be difficult to lurk into the mountain.

Calculate the days, today is the hunting period. Ling Tong swallowed the last piece of rotten meat jerky early, drank the last sip of water, and then climbed the tree and turned himself into a part of the tree.

For half an hour, the only thing Ling Tong was moving in his body was his eyes. He noticed that under a big tree not far away, there were three soldiers of Wu, two soldiers with long and short soldiers and one with crossbows. They seemed to be patrol soldiers.

I was idle around and idle, so Ling Tong stared at the Wu soldiers for a long time, feeling quite strange. First, the three of them had no conversation for such a long time, but sat quietly. It was a bit different from the impression of the broken-mouthed patrol soldiers; second, the crossbows used by the patrol soldiers holding crossbows were very exquisite. Only the entourages above the lieutenant in the Wu army could use such crossbows, and there was not much quantity. No matter how many people were, it was no longer the turn of a small patrol soldiers to hold them... Could it be that this patrol soldiers had participated in the Shouchun raid and came out of the Shouchun Palace and did not hand over it?

After thinking about it, only such an explanation can make sense. Moreover, with Ling Tong's professional vision and careful observation, it is not difficult to see that these three patrolmen have excellent skills. It is estimated that they were all from rangers before joining the army. With such good skills, it is very likely that they will be selected as storm-strike teams that raided Shouchun.

Thinking of the sudden attack on Shouchun, he thought of his father's death. Ling Tong finally moved a moment - stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hilt of the long sword on his left shoulder. This was the sword left by his father. He wanted to use this sword and use the sword skills taught by his father to kill the enemy!

The sound of horse hooves came, which made Ling Tong excited. The horses were galloping, indicating that the large army had entered the mountain and the hunting began as scheduled.

Ling Tong stood on the treetops and looked down. He was the first to see the red tassel that had trembled sharply on the top of the three beams. He was so familiar with the beams and tassels - it was the Lord Gongsun Ce.

Sure enough, the knight soon appeared all over his body. He was silver-armored and white horse, full of heroism. He rode alone and galloped like the wind. It was Sun Ce.

When Sun Cechi approached the tree, he suddenly pulled his horse. As the white horse Xi Yuyu was neighing, Sun Ce frowned and stared at the tree: "Who? Come out!"

Ling Tong's whole body was cold and miserable. He was discovered by his lord and was wasted all his previous efforts. Now he had no hope of revenge.

Ling Tong took a deep breath in sadness, and took the opportunity to lift the branches and leaves away, and was about to jump off the big tree and convict the lord. At this moment, two Wu soldiers suddenly turned out behind the tree not far away, one holding a halberd and the other holding a ring-headed knife, bowing to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce glanced at the two soldiers: "Whose subordinate are you?"

The second servant said respectfully: "We are all under Han Xiandeng's command, and we are ordered to patrol the mountain and run into the general. We hope to forgive our crimes."

Han Xiandeng was Han Dang, one of the elders of the Wu army. His official position at this time was Xiandeng's lieutenant. But they didn't say Han Dang was fine, but they would reveal the stuff when they said it.

Sun Ce's vigilance arose: "I know all the soldiers of Han Yigong, and I have never seen you." He pulled out his bow and arrow while speaking.

The second soldiers were shocked, and the other soldiers suddenly rushed over. As soon as they rushed halfway, they were shot down by Sun Ce with an arrow.

The soldier with a halberd, oh, should be said to be an assassin, whose body was approaching like the wind, shouted loudly, and slapped Sun Ce's head. Sun Ce was eager to protect the horse, and before he could draw the bow, he quickly pulled the reins away. He did not notice that a poisonous arrow flashing with black light in the grass was aiming at him.

Sun Ce did not find it, but Ma Han discovered it.

Ma Han arrived only one step slower than Sun Ce, and the situation in front of him also stunned. In such a scene, Ma Han, who has experienced countless lives and deaths, it is really a pediatrician. The reason why he was dazed is because this is a historical scene.

The little bully was assassinated!

Did Xu Gong's three disciples finally come? Although the location is no longer Dantu, but Bagong Mountain, as long as Sun Ce still likes to be alone and as long as the assassin's intention to assassin is not dead, this scene will happen sooner or later.

Sun Ce died of an arrow in his face. Who was the one who shot that arrow?

With the sharp eyes of the horse, with this idea, I paid a little attention and saw the black light among the grass.

At this moment, Ma Han faced a difficult choice: to save or not?

Undoubtedly, if Sun Ce dies at this time, his interests will be huge and Wujun will be in trouble without attacking him. As long as he does nothing, everything will develop to the best... Then, should he watch Sun Ce die quietly?

Ma Han held the Demon Eye Bow tightly and couldn't pull it out for a moment. The blood bow, which was as light as nothing in the past, weighed more than a thousand pounds at this moment.

The battle between the heavenly beings and humans was only a flash of thought, and the sound of thunder hooves sounded behind him.

Ma Han finally drew his blood bow, but at this moment, an angry shout came from the tree, and one person jumped down, and the cold light flashed. A sword smashed the crossbow and a sword wiped the assassin's throat.

At the same time, Sun Ce had pulled out his hand halberd and flew out, piercing through the chest of the last assassin with a halberd.

At this time, a large number of entourages arrived. Whether it was Ma Han's entourage or Sun Ce's entourage, they were all shocked and looked deserted.

Gan Ning rushed to a hurry: "General..."

Ma Han raised his hand to stop: "Don't panic, the assassin was not coming to me."

Sun Ce first stared at the poisonous arrow that shot into the tree trunk for a moment, then turned to Ling Tong's face. After a while, he suddenly laughed: "Ling Tong, Ling Tong, I won't ask why you are here. I just want to know what reward you want?"

Ling Tongzhu Jian knelt on the ground, didn't say anything, but just looked up and stared at Gan Ning with his eyes.

Sun Ce nodded: "I understand, I will fulfill your wish."

Ling Tong was overjoyed: "The general agreed to challenge Gan Xingba?"

Sun Ce shook his head: "No! You saved me, so I will fight for you - I, Sun Ce, challenge Gan Xingba!"

As soon as this statement came out, even Cao Cao, who arrived in a hurry, was shocked and didn't know how to dissuade him.

Sun Ce looked at Ma Han and smiled and said, "This time, the general has to decide whether Captain Gan accepts the challenge."

Facing Gan Ning's eager gaze, Ma Han pondered for a while and shook his head slowly.

Gan Ning was disappointed, and Sun Ce laughed.
