Chapter 229 Probing
Hearing Ma Jin praise him like this, Xu Changan couldn't sit still, stood up and bowed repeatedly and said:
"If Brother Zhou is not praised so much, the young actor is not as great as you said. How dare you be comparable to the giant scholar of Hongmen?"
"No, Mr. Xu, your invention is worthy of benefiting the people, much better than those fermented tofu." The girl sitting on one side turned around and said softly. The moment she turned around, her sleeves gently swayed, bringing a breath of intoxicating fragrance, refreshing the heart.
Ma Jin suddenly moved in his heart. He just saw that the girl looked familiar, but now he smelled the familiar fragrance of flowers again. The girl's identity was about to emerge. However, he didn't understand why this girl appeared here, and was dressed as a village girl, and even coincidentally encountered them.
Xu Changan was even more embarrassed by the girl's praise, his face flushed, and he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I dare not." Everyone said for a while, and when they saw that the night was already dark, they all rested in peace."
The fire was burning gently, Ma Jin lying on the back of his head with his hands on a bunch of hay, but he couldn't sleep. Looking at the girl lying a few steps away, a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes. Why did a golden branch and jade leaf appear here late at night? What kind of eyes does she have? And she has not disguised herself, and she appears in front of them in her original appearance. Isn't you afraid that they have any injustice? Or is she who has any trump card?
The more he thought about it, the less he couldn't sleep. If he was in Dazhou, he would still have the interest to investigate. But this place is a foreign country. Although he has trump cards, he is in the core of the enemy country. Even if he has trump cards, he may not be able to protect his safety. But the less he wants to cause trouble, he didn't expect that this trouble would come to him.
Thinking of this, I became irritated, so I simply stood up and walked to the fire to sit down. Not long after he sat down, I heard a sound of getting up, and soon another figure sat next to the fire, and it turned out to be the girl who suddenly appeared.
"Young Master Zhou, can't you sleep?" After the girl sat down, she opened her red lips lightly.
Ma Jin sighed softly, looked up at the girl and said:
"Miss Wan'er, why do you appear alone in this wilderness with golden branches and jade leaves?"
The girl's face changed slightly, and then she returned to normal, and she smiled cleverly:
"What Miss Wan'er, Mr. Zhou, what are you talking about?"
Looking at the smiling girl in front of her, Ma Jin shook her head and said:
"When we met in the morning, although I had never seen your appearance clearly, your voice and the fragrance of flowers on your body would not deceive people, right? Miss Wan'er?"
The waves of water flowed in the girl's eyes, as if she had just met Ma Jin. She looked it up and down, and suddenly she smiled, as if flowers were blooming, and even the bright moon in the sky was dimmed. Time made Ma Jin understand what it means to "a look at the city and a look at the country."
"Young Master is really observing. You can recognize Wan'er after just seeing her. It seems that you are always paying attention to others?" The girl said with a soft laugh as her beautiful eyes circulated.
Looking at the beautiful beauty in front of him with a cute smile, Ma Jin couldn't help but feel a little excited, but he was soon suppressed by him and said seriously:
"Miss Wan'er, although I don't know who you are, I must have a noble family background. Why do I have to chase after us, some common people? Moreover, this wilderness is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be a wolf entering the tiger's mouth. With such a girl, there is probably no man who is not moved."
"Oh, that young man - have you ever been moved." The beautiful girl flashed her eyes and stared at Ma Jin's face and smiled.
"The Tao is different and they don't plan for each other!" Ma Jin said seriously, saying word by word. He was really afraid of being entangled by this woman with unknown purpose.
"How can you and I know, how can you tell me differently?" The girl still chased her closely.
The girl's words made Ma Jin speechless for a moment, and she scolded her in her heart for taking advantage of this. If a man dared to speak to him like this, he would have kicked him over.
Seeing Ma Jin's indifferent look, the girl's face became serious:
"Young Master Zhou, do you know that the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty has captured the capital of the Liao Kingdom, Shi Kingdom, and is about to go south soon, intending to annex the Song Dynasty. However, the Song Dynasty is now in trouble and the situation is corrupt. Since the young master has a strategy, why don't he stand up and contribute to the country? Although I, Lin Wan'er, is a daughter, is willing to use all my life to serve the country, let alone a seven-foot-foot-man?"
Lin Wan asked a series of questions and made Ma Jin stunned. The Zhou Dynasty was going south to invade Song? Why didn’t he know? But after these series of great principles, if he was really a member of Song, he might have a little touch, but it’s a pity that he was not?
Besides, why doesn’t you believe it so much if you, a daughter of a noble family, keep talking about the country and the people? However, Lin Wan’s sonorous and powerful voice is still very contagious. If you don’t talk about your identity, he admires this national integrity very much.
"Miss Wan'er's ambition is really admirable, but I'm still the same question. Why did you appear here late at night?"
Ma Jin looked like he was unable to get into the oil and salt, which made Lin Wan'er angry and almost bit her teeth to pieces. She snorted coldly:
"I will appear wherever I want to appear, I have to care!"
Uh, Ma Jin was speechless and didn't let people talk. This woman just likes to make things difficult for her. What can you do with her?
"Swish...swish...swish..."
"careful!"
Just when the two were speechless, a whistling sound of breaking through the air came one after another. Ma Jin's face changed drastically. He pulled Lin Wan beside him and fell to the ground. The moment the two of them fell, dozens of arrows wiped his scalp and flew over. He turned his head and looked at the feather arrows that were inserted directly on the ground not far away. Ma Jin instantly broke out in cold sweat, just a little bit.
Just when he was secretly glad, a dense sound of footsteps came from the depths of the dense forest, making his expression condense. He was about to take action with a pinch of the magic trick in his hand. But when Lin Wan'er around him relaxed again, he turned around and pulled Lin Wan'er who was still lying on the ground.
"You are waiting here!"
As he said that, he quickly walked to Xu Changan and the other two and woke them up. Xu Changan, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up, rubbed his confused eyes, and asked in confusion:
"Brother Zhou, you..."
"Don't talk, let's leave here quickly, there is danger!" Ma Jin stopped Xu Changan's question and said a few quick words.
When Xu Changan heard that there was danger, he was immediately frightened and quickly got up and walked to Ma Jin. Xu Xiaoqi and Xu Xiaoba also followed him.
"Let's leave here quickly!" Ma Jin said nothing nonsense, and rushed to the woods ahead.
The footsteps in the dense forest were already very close, and it seemed that they were about to rush out at any time. But what made Ma Jin strange was that for some reason they only fired one wave of arrows. If there were a few more arrows, they would have to explain here if they could not prepare for it. After all, his cultivation level is only in the Spirit Gathering Stage, and he can't stop Ruyun's feather arrows at all.
However, Ma Jin didn't have time to think too much. Escape now is important. Xu Changan and others saw Ma Jin running desperately towards the grove in front of them, and hurriedly followed. After a moment, they rushed into the grove. Xu Changan patted his chest in a daze and said with a breath:
"Zhou...Brother Zhou, what happened!"
Ma Jin glanced at Lin Wan'er, who was still absent-minded, shook his head and said:
"have no idea……"
"Well"
While he was talking, hundreds of soldiers rushed out of the dense forest opposite, each wearing iron armor and holding spears. And seven or eight cavalry rushed out behind these infantrymen. Xu Changan looked shocked:
"What's going on? Where do so many officers and soldiers come from? There are actually cavalry?"
"It seems like I'm coming for us." Ma Jin glanced at Lin Wan and said calmly.
Xu Changan couldn't help but say in fear when he heard this:
"Luckily, Brother Zhou, you discovered it early, otherwise we would be in trouble, but what are they doing for us?"
"Okay, Brother Xu! It's not advisable to stay here, so I'll leave as soon as possible." Ma Jin said with a smile.
"Then let's go quickly!" Xu Changan urged nervously, and then walked deep into the forest. He was just a civilian, and he really didn't want to get involved with these soldiers.
"Slow down, can't walk in the forest?" Ma Jin shook his head and called Xu Changan.
"Why?" Xu Changan was a little puzzled.
"This forest is too quiet, there is not even a bird. This forest is strange!" Ma Jin said, pointing to the forest in front.
Xu Changan was stunned, then came back to his senses and said in agreement: "Brother Zhou is right. For Lin Mo, where are we going?"
A cold light flashed in Ma Jin's eyes:
"You guys hide here and wait for me."
As he said that, he ran out of the woods. At this time, the soldiers gathered in the open space scattered into several small teams to search around because they did not find Ma Jin and the others. The seven or eight cavalrymen came towards Ma Jin and the others. One of them was a man wearing mountain scripture armor and wearing a silver tiger mask. The cavalry behind him was just like him, each holding a long spear and a long bow on his back, looking extremely elite...
Ma Jin lay behind a stone, squinted his eyes and looked at the cavalry slowly approaching. He was also a little surprised that Song State had such elite cavalry covered in armor, which really surprised him. What he saw and heard along the way were all broken iron. Thinking of it, he pulled out more than a dozen hairs on his head.
"Hiss... It hurts so much... It's so hard!" Ma Jin grinned, then put his hair to his mouth, blew his breath, and said softly "change". When Shenhua flashed, the hair turned into something like a dozen insects.
At this moment, the knight in the lead whistled and stopped at a place less than two feet away from Ma Jin. He glanced at the woods ahead. As soon as he regained his consciousness, he saw a black shadow rushing into his nostrils. He immediately felt that his eyelids loosened and became drowsy. Not only him, but the cavalry around him fell off his horse as if he had made an appointment.
At this time, Ma Jin showed up and walked to the somewhat panicked horses and touched the horse's head one by one. The horses instantly became quiet. Then he whispered a few more words in the horse's ears, then stepped onto the war horse and walked into the forest, and the remaining horses were obediently following behind.
Half an hour later, hundreds of soldiers who had left had turned back, but they did not see the cavalry coming back. The general in charge changed his face and hurriedly ordered:
"Come on, go ahead and see why the Ma Jun people didn't come back."
"promise!"
