The Empress's First Running Dog

Chapter 100 Mr. Zhao, I have been waiting for you for a long time

"Your Majesty!"

The Tie family’s front yard.

As Ma Yan rushed out, a force in his palm went along the dozens of kilograms of the "drum hammer" and moved backwards to the arm of its owner.

The fierce general Tie Chiguan on the battlefield felt as if he was struck by lightning.

The arm holding the hammer handle had blood oozing from the pores. As if it had been electrocuted, it was forced to drop the weapon.

The whole person was like a cannonball, whistling and flying backwards, and slammed heavily on a flower bed in the courtyard.

"boom!"

The flower bed was shattered into pieces, mud and bricks flew everywhere, and several servants were accidentally hit and fell to the ground wailing.

The whole place fell silent.

Zhao Duan, who took a step back in advance and was protecting Ma Yan in front of him, twitched his eyelids.

I truly felt the difference in the strength of the warriors.

When Zhao Duan was about to kill him with the iron hammer, although he had his flying knife ready to go, he still sensed a great threat out of his martial artist instinct.

Know:

With my own fighting power, I am definitely no match for the other party.

They can only last a few rounds at most before being beaten to the ground.

However, this powerful general who was enough to defeat him was easily defeated by Ma Yanru as if he was holding a chicken, without any effort.

The rest of the Jinyimen from Lihua Hall also fell silent, feeling a strong sense of security as they watched the show.

"Superintendent!?"

Tiechiguan crawled out from the rubble and spat out a mouthful of blood.

This muscular and fierce man had several scarlet cuts on his face from tiles, but there was no more violence in his eyes, only bitterness:
"Yes, I should have known that without the governor, this sinister boy would not dare to provoke me."

Ma Yan's face was stern and his eyes were filled with regret.

He looked down at his subordinate who he had promoted from the army and had been with him for two years, and said:

"I can give you a chance to defend yourself."

Tie Chiguan was silent for a moment, but shook his head and forced out a complicated and incomprehensible smile through his bloodstained teeth:
"Now that the truth has been revealed, Tie has nothing to say."

Ma Yan sighed, but heard Tie Chiguan continue:

"I know that I am doomed today because of the martial arts of the governor. I have only one wish.

Tie had been in the army since he was seventeen years old. In the army, the strong were respected. After entering the imperial court, he had heard a lot about the high level of martial arts of the governor, but he had never had the chance to fight with him.

After today, I'm afraid I'll never have another chance in this life.

"I have no wish today, I only hope to be defeated by the governor in an upright manner. I will accept it. It is better than being captured by some treacherous villain or a prostitute!"

Zhao Duan, who was watching the game from the back, was suddenly called out and became unhappy.

Why is this guy still cursing when he is about to die?
Ma Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his leg and kicked the 80-jin hammer on the ground:
"as you wish."

"Thank you, Governor, for your help!" Tie Chiguan raised his hand, caught the drum hammer, took a deep breath, and a faint light flickered in his dantian.

Accompanied by the sound of surging tides.

Zhao Duan suddenly heard Ma Yan say:
“Watch carefully, when you enter the Divine Chapter Realm, you will also create waves in your Qi Sea.

The so-called power accumulation of a warrior refers to the number of times the internal energy in the Dantian circulates. With each wave and each rotation, the power will be accumulated to a higher level. The more times the power is accumulated, the more ferocious the killing that can be unleashed.

However, when fighting, martial artists must be efficient, and most of the time, your opponent will not allow you to accumulate strength to the limit."

Why is there a live teaching here... I am just an average mortal... Zhao Duan listened with an open mind.

Ma Yan seemed not to be serious at all, and was still explaining the details of charging:

"Don't think that you don't need to master these things just because you are a mortal.

The method of accumulating power has nothing to do with realm. Even a warrior who has never practiced can accumulate the power of qi, blood, tendons and bones. Whether drawing a bow and arrow or chopping with a steel knife, how to accumulate power in the best way is the key. "

Zhao Duan's heart moved, and he silently memorized the explanation in his heart.

the other side.

In Tie Chi Guan's Dantian, the tide of the sea of ​​qi had accumulated to thirteen layers, reaching the limit, and his entire aura had also climbed to its peak.

The aura that emanated from it moved many of the men in fine clothes and filled them with fear.

"Master Du, take my hammer!!!"

Suddenly, Tie Chi Guan shouted angrily, spread his feet on the ground, and the thin ropes in his boots broke, revealing his thick toes.
He held the hammer in both hands and raised it high. The sound of the tide was continuous, as if waves tens of meters high were accumulating behind him.

The next second, the eighty-pound drum hammer came crashing down and flew out of his hand. Circles of white turbulent air waves swirled around and chased the hammer handle.

"Kakaka-"

At the foot of Tiechi Pass, the blue brick floor of the courtyard suddenly cracked.

The strong wind blew, and pieces of blue bricks were lifted up, like mud tiles baked by the scorching sun in the fields during a year of severe drought.

Zhao Duan narrowed his eyes, feeling a little shocked.

Is this the blow that a Shenzhang warrior can deliver with all his strength accumulated?

Looking at the drum hammer that was whistling towards him like a derailed train, Zhao Duan had no doubts:
Even if there is a small city gate in front of him, it will be broken by this hammer.

Just after he delivered the strongest attack of his life at Tiechi Pass.

The warrior who had boasted that he would lose the battle fairly and honorably, actually ran towards the courtyard wall like an arrow from a bow!

Before anyone could react, he had already knelt on the ground.

Like a spring board, it jumped onto the courtyard wall and escaped!

Ran!

Zhao Duan's pupils suddenly shrank, but he forcibly blocked the flying knife in his sleeve.

The first thing he did was look at Ma Yan.

But this "King Yama" snorted coldly, as if he had expected it. He took a step forward with his left leg, spread out the five fingers of his left hand, and still used his physical body to block the drum hammer.

"clang--"

Amid the sound of metal colliding, half of his body was covered with a golden glow, as hard as iron, colliding head-on with the drum hammer.

A force was transmitted from his left leg into the ground. In an instant, the floor tiles within a few feet of his feet cracked and collapsed, turning into a shallow pit.

Pull the right fist back and accumulate power several times in an instant.

Towards the distance, Tie Chi Guan, who had just jumped onto the courtyard wall and was in mid-air, smashed through the air.

This punch actually produced a sonic boom.

Zhao Duan witnessed a straight "ripple" in the air, at the end of which was Tiechi Pass.

"puff!"

Blood spurted out of the iron gate, and it fell down like a bird with broken wings, and landed at the foot of the courtyard wall.

He was only half a step away from escaping from the yard.

"Clang!"

The drum hammer fell to the ground almost at the same time. The head of the eighty-pound hammer was dented inwards, leaving a mark the size of half a fist.

The glow on his body faded away, Ma Yan exhaled lightly, and said calmly:
"In a fight, life and death do not necessarily depend on the level of cultivation or the strength of martial arts. Experience can also play a role in turning the tide.

People like him who have come back from the battlefield know that there is no harm in doing anything. The so-called brave generals on the battlefield and the fair and just duels are just stories in vernacular novels and the stories told by craftsmen in teahouses. They cannot be taken seriously.

Unless they are people of high enough status and have a mutual respect for each other, they will be able to stay upright and not act rashly in a fight."

Zhao Duan was stunned.

I thought to myself, you’re still teaching here even after being beaten like this?
Ma Yan glanced at him, slightly pleased.

In the carriage, he was "educated" by this kid for a long time. How could he not "educate" him back now?

If you don't show your skills, you'll really think that your position as a "supervisor" is just a job.

"My lord, the man is still alive, but he can't move."

At this time, someone in brocade clothes dragged Tie Chiguan back.

He lay on the ground, covered in blood, motionless, with only his chest rising and falling and his eyes wide open.

He glanced at the two of them, sighed, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Zhao Duan frowned: "Is he going to die soon?"

Ma Yan said calmly: "He is fine, he can think and speak, I just cut off his meridians."

After a pause, he glanced at Zhao Duan and said faintly:
"If he dies in my hands, wouldn't that be troublesome?"

There was something hidden in his hint... Zhao Duan smiled awkwardly.

If the iron ruler is cold, Ma Yan will be highly suspected.

There are three reasons for bringing Ma Yan here to defraud people.

Firstly, he wanted to take charge, and secondly, it was also a test. He didn't say it, but Ma Yan had obviously guessed it.

As for the third point, if Ma Yan has any problems, then keeping him by his side can prevent him from having the opportunity to make additional arrangements to deal with it.

"You did the right thing. Before the dust settles, everyone, including me, is worthy of suspicion." Ma Yan said calmly.

Zhao Duan smiled and said, "I have never doubted you, sir."

Well, after all, according to my guess, Zhuang Xiaocheng’s original plan was to kill you... However, guesses are just guesses after all.

While the two were talking, the other Jinyi soldiers also reacted.

They rushed forward and tied up the rest of the Tie family members.

"Qian Kerou, Zheng Laojiu," Zhao Duan called over two of his subordinates:

"Take a few people with you and search this house carefully for anything suspicious."

There must be a way of communication between the rebels, and between the upper and lower lines. If Tie Chi keeps his mouth shut and refuses to cooperate, he will let this house speak for him.

"Yes!" the two responded.

Zhao Duan waved his hand and directed the rest of the people to evacuate:
"Go to the third game."

Ma Yan personally raised the "Iron Ruler" and blocked his mouth, preparing to keep a close watch on him. He was stunned when he heard this.

Zhao Duan explained with a smile:

"Don't relax, Brother. What if there's more than one traitor?"

……

……

The third suspect is Haitang, the detective of Narcissus Hall.

Haitang has not yet married, and her house is the smallest among the three.

As the group marched forward, they completed the encirclement skillfully.

When trying to break into the door, they were surprised to find that the door to the Hai family's courtyard was wide open.

This made Hou Renmeng, who was addicted to breaking down doors, a little disappointed.

And when Zhao Duan led the crowd into the front courtyard.

What was even more surprising was that the maids and servants in the courtyard all seemed to be unsurprised and were waiting quietly under the eaves, with an attitude of making room for him to come.

In the yard, next to a stone table.

The heroic female inspector with long legs, high ponytail and teardrop moles at the corners of her eyes is wearing home clothes and drinking.

A cloth bag filled with flying knives was casually thrown on the table, and the crossbows and murderous officials of Lihuatang were ignored at the courtyard wall.

He raised his head, looked at Zhao Duan with clear eyes, and said as if smiling:

"Zhao Jishi is finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. I have prepared some good wine. You are tired from the journey. Would you like to have a drink?"

This……

The officials of Lihuatang were stunned, thinking that this was a little different from the previous two games.

Hou Renmeng and Shen Juan looked at each other and then looked at Zhao Duan at the same time.

Zhao Duan also narrowed his eyes, looked at the beautiful female colleague, and suddenly smiled:
"Beautiful lady, good wine, and a warm invitation, who can refuse?"

He said this, but his feet did not move. He changed the subject:
"Just lady, could you please throw away the knife first?"
