Chapter 527 The Death of Ma Chao! Fa Zheng Could Not Escape Entering the Minister's Residence!
Chapter 527 The Death of Ma Chao! Fa Zheng Could Not Escape Entering the Minister's Residence!
"Do I...do I have any other options?"
Fa Zheng gave an awkward smile.
Su Yu's expression changed drastically, and he tore the introduction paper of the Imperial Guard's Mansion in half.
Fa Zheng was dumbfounded!
This is... a forced choice?
Su Yu patted his shoulder earnestly:
"Don't worry, even after you go to the Minister's residence, you can choose to be physically there but mentally with Liu Bei!"
"The premise is that you have the energy."
After saying this, Su Yu handed Fa Zheng over to the intelligence guards, preparing a special car to escort him to Xuchang.
As for whether Fa Zheng will have the opportunity to leave the Ministry of Personnel, that depends on his fate.
……
Xun Yu, who was a thousand miles away, suddenly looked up.
A voice seemed to echo in my mind:
Ding! You have a new express delivery order. Please check it!
at the same time.
The moment Xun Yu looked up, he caught sight of a cow or horse slacking off in the corner!
Damn it! Is the Minister's Mansion, such a sacred place, a place for slacking off?
Without Xun Yu having to lift a finger, the other talented individuals in the Minister's office took matters into their own hands and eliminated this "traitor"!
The punishment was minimal; he was simply reassigned to a menial job in the Minister's office, working unpaid for half a month.
The menial servant was the same position that Ge Xuan had previously held.
Serving tea and water to superiors.
Everyone in the Minister's residence is his superior!
Jie Jie Jie Jie!
A faint, eerie sound echoed above the Minister's residence.
The terrifying curse on the Minister's residence has deepened once again!
Before Xun Lingjun retires, none of the outstanding talents can expect to be liberated.
As for after retirement.
Before that, Xun Yu will make arrangements for the second generation head of the Minister's Mansion!
……
Another mountain path, completely different from the one Liu Bei fled in.
Ma Chao threw off his helmet, revealing the skin and flesh underneath.
The good news is that Huang Zhong's arrow didn't stick to his head; it just got stuck in his helmet.
The bad news is that the blood flowing from the wound isn't red, but reddish-brown, with the brown color being more prominent than the red.
In an instant, Ma Dai collapsed to the ground, staring at the scene in disbelief.
"Do not!!!"
Yes, the arrow Huang Zhong shot at Ma Chao was poisoned.
Huang Zhong doesn't usually do this.
But Ma Chao was an exception.
"Hahaha, this is truly... a delightful surprise for this general!"
Ma Chao laughed, but it was a very sad laugh.
He did not believe there was anything wrong with what he had done.
The law of the jungle prevails; that's just how it is.
But at this moment, even the loudest laughter he let out couldn't hide the fear on his face.
"Brother, you wait, you wait."
"I'll go find you a doctor!"
Only Ma Dai truly cares about Gege and is a true fan, not a hater.
Ma Chao has already been poisoned, and it's unknown how much longer he can live, but Ma Dai still doesn't want to give up on treatment.
"Let's find a place to rest first."
Ma Chao weakly raised his hand, not holding much hope of finding a doctor.
In the middle of nowhere, finding a house is already a good thing, so how could there possibly be a doctor?
But it is unclear whether Ma Dai's prayers had an effect, or if there was some other reason.
The two walked for two or three miles and actually found a small wooden house.
Ma Dai quickly helped Ma Chao inside.
The poison took effect, and Ma Chao was no longer able to muster much strength. He desperately needed a quiet place to rest.
Suddenly, a clear, cold voice rang out.
"Put him down quickly, he's been poisoned."
A woman appeared at the door of the wooden house, carrying a wooden bucket filled with water.
She is clearly the owner of this house.
"you……"
Upon seeing the woman, Ma Dai's first reaction was to kill her.
But upon seeing the woman, Ma Dai immediately realized that Ma Chao had been poisoned, and he hesitated.
If this woman were a doctor, she might be able to save her brother's life.
"Go quickly and find a wild rabbit; its fur can save him."
The woman pointed at Ma Dai and gave the order in a forceful tone.
Ma Dai nodded repeatedly.
Upon hearing this, he had already assumed that the woman was definitely a doctor.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have this attitude.
Only those with a compassionate heart can do this.
But Ma Dai was still worried about leaving Ma Chao alone there, and he kept looking back at Ma Chao.
Until the woman urged again:
"Why don't you go quickly?"
"Otherwise he would be dead!"
Ma Dai then sped away.
The woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
What are the uses of rabbit fur?
Of course... I want to witness Ma Chao's death!
Once, when he was in Tianshui, Ma Chao compared the people of the various cities in Tianshui to wild rabbits.
A wild rabbit has absolutely no chance against a hungry wolf.
Now, the roles of wolf and hare have quietly reversed.
"you……"
Ma Chao's intuition told him that something was wrong with this woman.
But Ma Dai, eager to save him, had already gone far away.
"Ma Chao, I told you, I would definitely kill you!"
"Not for me, but for all the people of Tianshui who have suffered unjustly!"
A double image flashed before Ma Chao's eyes.
The dagger plunged heavily into Ma Chao's head.
This ended his sinful life!
When Ma Dai returned carrying a wild rabbit, all he found was Ma Chao's headless corpse.
“Brother!!!”
Ma Dai, like a mad dog, clung to Ma Chao's headless corpse.
His beloved elder brother is gone.
No more!
Holding Ma Chao's body, Ma Dai walked to a stream, gathered some soil, and planned to bury him.
But Ma Dai stayed in the same place for two and a half days.
Despite being hungry and exhausted, he still refused to leave Ma Chao.
at last.
Ma Dai seemed to have figured something out.
He wanted to carry on his brother's legacy.
He continued to complete what his elder brother had failed to do.
……
Liu Bei was unaware of Ma Chao's death.
He walked alone into the Yinping Trail.
The soldiers that Zhuge Liang had placed there beforehand stopped Liu Bei, who was covered in dust and dirt.
Upon learning that the visitor was none other than their own lord, the soldiers were all astonished.
But the twin swords in Liu Bei's hand, along with his signature large ears and arms that almost reached his knees, undeniably proved his identity.
Liu Bei had no idea how many of his soldiers would survive.
At this moment, he was actually glad that when he went north, he had left Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, along with 20,000 soldiers, at Jiameng Pass.
Now, with these 20,000 troops, and if the Shu region were to pool its resources, it could still muster tens of thousands of troops.
but……
Yangping Pass has been lost.
Can tens of thousands of troops really defend Chengdu and Yizhou?
Liu Bei had no answer in his heart.
The world is so vast, he has nowhere else to go!
