Ma Jiamen: I was forced to fight for supremacy

Chapter 210 Dou Zhengxing: I'm here to save you

Two hours later, confirmed news arrived: Zhu Qing and Baili Lei were indeed hiding in a dilapidated Taoist temple in South City.

Their men went to the pharmacy to buy medicinal materials and were targeted by the Hedai people.

We tracked them all the way and determined their hiding place.

Ma Zhan ordered Tuoba Ye to take his men to bring back all the corpses near Yinyang Bridge.

Ma Zhan waited until night before sneaking into the dilapidated Taoist temple.

Ma Zhan held the dagger and easily took care of the two people guarding the door. In order to prevent Zhu Qing and Baili Lei from escaping, Ma Zhan specially brought all the stocks of sleeping pills from Tuoba Ye.

Ever since he used the sleeping drug on Liangshan, Ma Zhan found that it was quite useful.

Maybe the two were seriously injured, or maybe they took too much drugs, but in the Taoist temple, the two were snoring loudly.

Ma Zhan thought about it and realized that Chun Xiaoman and Xue Lan were actually injured by these two guys. It was really unbelievable.

After returning, let them practice diligently and stop playing all day long.

Ma Zhan pushed the door open and suddenly swung a short hammer towards his chest.

Ma Zhan leaned against the wooden door, and Gekko moved sideways to the side, barely avoiding the fatal blow.

The short hammer brought with it a gust of wind, and with a "clang" sound, it smashed the wooden door into pieces.

Zhu Qing's flying claws attacked from the darkness. Ma Zhan kept dodging sideways and simply climbed directly onto the roof and leaned down.

"They both have ventriloquism skills, and their snoring is really good."

Ma Zhan used Dong Wei's short knife and swung out two consecutive sword auras, slashing at the two men respectively.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Zhan landed on the ground, holding a dagger in one hand and a short knife in the other. Chi Xia was furious and swung at the two of them continuously.

Zhu Qing and Baili Lei's previous injuries were indeed serious, and Ma Zhan's internal energy, Chixia Qi, was a superior technique from Mount Emei. Under Ma Zhan's continuous firepower, the two soon collapsed.

Ma Zhan seized the opportunity, quickly approached, and pierced the dantian of the two men with his short knife.

Following two sounds of people falling to the ground, Ma Zhan lit the oil lamp on the altar.

He looked up at the stone statue on the altar and thought, "What is this offering? It's obviously a cult."

Ma Zhan threw the two men together roughly, confiscated their weapons first, and then patted Baili Lei's fat face.

"I don't think you're convinced."

Baili Lei snorted coldly, "If you want to kill me... tsk~"

Ma Zhan didn't want to listen to his nonsense at all, and directly stabbed him in the heart. He pulled out the dagger and wiped the blood off Baili Lei's body.

Then he looked at Zhu Qing. He had to admit that Zhu Qing was a man who knew the situation. Even though his Dantian was broken, his cultivation was ruined. At least he could still survive.

"I surrender, I surrender..."

Ma Zhan smiled slightly and said, "I'm glad you've given in. Who ordered you and Sun Junyang to attack and kill me?"

Zhu Qing replied: "It's the patriarch... the patriarch of the Guanlong Zhu family. My father was once a retainer of the Zhu family. With the instruction and support of the patriarch, he founded the Qingyi Gang.

I came here to kill you because I received an order from the head of the family.

You see, I was just a person who worked for others, but now I am a useless person..."

"Shut up first."

Ma Zhan interrupted Zhu Qing's plea, "I haven't finished asking, who arranged the ambush for me at Yin Yang Bridge, or in other words, who is your commander?"

"Sun Junyang arranged everything, and the instructions we received were to follow his arrangements. But I guess he was also following orders from others."

"You're not even guessing."

With the same knife, Zhu Qing asked with all his remaining strength.

"Why, kill me..."

Ma Zhan drew out his dagger and wiped the blood off it with Zhu Qing's clothes.

"You hurt my people and still want to live? You are dreaming."

Ma Zhan said to the short sword in his hand:

"You used your knife to kill two people, but I wiped it clean. I will find a good feng shui site for it as soon as possible."

Before leaving the Taoist temple, Ma Zhan looked back at the strange stone statue and left quickly, thinking it was so weird.

In Tuoba Ye's stronghold in the west city of Hanzhong, Ma Zhan glanced at the fifty-odd corpses lined up in a row and gave Tuoba Ye a brief explanation.

He left the city overnight and returned to the small palace on the bank of the Han River.

Everyone in the small palace breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ma Zhan return.

Judging from their condition, they probably hadn't slept for two days. Ma Zhan threw Zhu Qing and Baili Lei's weapons in front of everyone and looked at Chun Xiaoman and Xue Lan.

"Everyone go and rest. I'm going to interrogate Dou Zhengxing."

In the backyard of the small palace, Dou Zhengxing was tied up and thrown into a stable.

Ma Zhan was furious when he saw the boy's miserable appearance.

"Dou Zhengxing, I respect you as a soldier and I won't hold it against you for what happened before.

Although Guoshanfeng treats me as his master, I treat him as my brother.

If you hurt him, I must kill you."

Dou Zhengxing snorted coldly, "I didn't mean to do that. I've already apologized to him. If you want to kill me, just do it. Why are you wasting your time talking?"

"Apologies are useless... You said you didn't mean it, but weren't you here to kill me?"

Dou Zhengxing replied indignantly:

"I came to rescue you. I set out from Xianyang and traveled day and night.

After I arrived in Hanzhong, I saw you torturing and killing an old man. I couldn't help but want to teach you a lesson.

did not expect. . . "

Dou Zhengxing's words left Ma Zhan confused.

"You came to save me. How did you know I would be attacked in Hanzhong? Why did you come to save me?"

Dou Zhengxing replied: "Zheng Ben told me that he had received news that someone would attack you on the Yin Yang Bridge in Hanzhong. He wanted to come and help you himself.

But he was seriously injured in the secret realm and hasn't recovered yet, so he asked me to take his place.

He also said that if you died, he wanted me to avenge you for him."

"You lied to me...why would Wang Zhengben help me?"

"I didn't... Wang Zhengben told me that he has always felt sorry for you because of what happened at the poetry gathering. He acted impulsively at the time and embarrassed you.

Later he realized that they were all citizens of Liang State and might serve as officials in the same court in the future.

The old marquis died on the battlefield. Life and death are determined by fate.

Let’s not create new animosity between us because of this matter…”

Ma Zhan felt something was wrong. Based on Su Meir's previous information, Wang Zhengben's ability to make plans was evident.

In the secret realm of Xianyang, without knowing the script, Wang Zhengben was able to become the general of Wei State, which shows his ability to respond.

In short, Wang Zhengben is very capable and he is also on Ma Zhan's suspect list.

Now, Dou Zhengxing was sent by Wang Zhengben to help him.

Ma Zhan didn't quite believe it. Wang Zhengben shouldn't be so magnanimous.

Ma Zhan looked at Dou Zhengxing, an enterprising young man from Guanlong and a pure Daliang soldier.

Because of Wang Zhengben’s request, he traveled thousands of miles to save me, his “enemy”.

Ma Zhan seemed to see the shadow of Si Yongcai in Dou Zhengxing. One was a scholar and the other a warrior. One was sincere and the other was straightforward.

"Wang Zhengben, you pinpointed the location where I was attacked so accurately. Dou Zhengxing's arrival happened to coincide with the end of the war.

What kind of person are you? "
