Fireworks in August are the most beautiful season of the year.
This period of time takes over the revival of spring and summer, and the heat subsides and the west wind rises.
It is also related to the harvest of golden autumn.
It is a good time for autumn to be clear and refreshing, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
However, since leaving Hulao Pass, Ma Chao's brows have never relaxed.
After seeing all the smiling faces of the people in Sili, I suddenly entered the Chenliu territory, and saw the devastation and starvation everywhere, and the tragic situation of countless refugees being displaced.
No matter how good the mood was before coming, it would be completely ruined by the feelings of such troubled times.
In order to conceal his identity, Ma Chao had to disguise himself as a refugee.
As he traveled along the way, he learned a lot about the battle between Lu Bu and Cao Cao from the mouths of the victims who had fled.
All in all, there's no good news, but there's also no bad news.
"Lord, we have been marching for eight days since we left Hulao Pass.
In front of us is the boundary of Chenliu.
I wonder if my lord has entered Chenliu."
Gan Ning seemed to be used to the scene in front of him.
A pair of cold and stern eyes are always full of murderous intent that people dare not despise.
His burly body and wild exposed muscles scare away many people who want to take advantage of him.
This time when he entered Xuzhou, it was impossible for Gan Ning not to take him with him.
Gan Ning should be the person who knows the most about this matter.
In fact, Gan Ning's foundation in the Ma family is still too shallow, and his behavior is a bit radical, so Ma Chao hopes to get to know Gan Ning better.
However, after Gan Ning asked Ma Chao what he said, Ma Chao had no choice but to glance at the person behind him: At first glance, that person seemed to be just like an ordinary refugee, and his dirty face seemed to be full of traces of blood.
The hardship of running for one's life.
But if you look carefully, you will find that there is no sorrow at all in that person's eyes, but more perseverance and expectation.
In particular, her slender and graceful figure could not be hidden at all even in the patched linen clothes.
And when she heard Gan Ning's request, she couldn't help but opened her mouth and wanted to plead something to Ma Chao.
However, after a second thought, she still tried to restrain her impulse and just stood aside quietly, staring at Ma Chao with hopeful eyes.
Ma Chao avoided her eyes cruelly twice, but in the end he still couldn't bear it.
He had no choice but to sigh: "Bypass Chenliu and go eastward along the Yellow River to Dingtao.
Although Fengxian Gong is currently retreating to Shanyang, Dingtao is still there.
The Tao area is still under the rule of Fengxian Gong, where we can learn about the latest battle situation in Yanzhou, which will also be helpful for us to persuade Liu Bei when we enter Xuzhou. " After saying this, Ma Chao couldn't help but think of the verbal sparring he had with those foxes in the court ten days ago: He had worked hard in every possible way, exhausted all means, and finally came up with a plan to hide the truth, thinking that he could finally embark on a journey to find the bonds of his past life.
A melancholy and complicated journey, but unexpectedly, at the last moment, Lu Qiling gave herself a big problem Yes, the refugee in front of him, who could not hide her unique feminine charm, was his daughter-in-law Lu Qiling, and she had always impressed Ma Chao ever since her temperament changed drastically.
What's even more unexpected is that this time she somehow got together with Liu Yue, Fu Shou, and Han Ying, causing the three of them to force Ma Chao to agree that he must take Lu Qiling with him on the road.
"The itinerary has been decided, let's go."
Seeing Lu Qiling's unavoidable smile of success in the end, Ma Chao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: After this little pepper changed her temper, she really learned some beauty tricks, and she actually Still using it in style Along the way, the three of them didn't say anything more, and continued to walk on Chaodingtao.
Along the way, there were still victims of disasters everywhere.
Except for the sadness of the three of them being drowned by the mighty Yellow River, there was nothing left.
Even though Lu Qiling wanted to express her gratitude to Ma Chao, she didn't have the heart to say it.
Watching the sun gradually setting, Ma Chao stopped, and Gan Ning relied on his superb water skills to catch three fat fish, raised a fire, and prepared to eat with Ma Chao.
Lu Qiling, who was bored, had no choice but to stand aside.
In the feudal era of the late Han Dynasty, Lu Qiling should have done these things for her, but since Ma Chao and Gan Ning ate a pheasant roasted by Lu Qiling, Ma Chao never asked Lu Qiling to cook again.
Because he felt that Lu Qiling was deliberately plotting However, today is slightly different.
Before Lu Qiling took action, she used her extraordinary eyesight to see a hut in front of her and said happily: "Husband, we don't have to sleep in the open today."
Ma Chao followed Lu Qiling's instructions and saw a simple hut by the Yellow River.
He looked at each other and smiled at Lu Qiling: There really is no need to sleep in the open air anymore.
These days, in order to avoid revealing his identity, Ma Chao always takes unconventional paths.
Even if you take the official route, you don't dare to enter the city.

A bowl of hot soup and a comfortable bed are already five-star enjoyments that Ma Chao can only dream of.
At that moment, I carried the fat fish and rushed to the hut: the fish soup is so nourishing, I can't waste it.
However, after arriving at the hut, Ma Chao frowned slightly: From the outside, this hut was no different from ordinary civilian huts.
It was low, dark, and crumbling, as if the wind could blow it if the wind was strong enough. scattered.
But Ma Chao thought that on the side of the Yellow River, there was only this abrupt hut standing.
Isn't this the biggest doubt?
What's more, although this area is remote, it is the center of Yanzhou.
Mountain roads can lead to the surrounding counties and even Yuzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Sili and other places.
"Lord, this hut is too strange.
It's better that we don't cause any trouble."
Gan Ning has been in the world for a long time, and like Ma Chao, he also noticed the weirdness of this hut.
After frowning slightly, he opened his mouth to remind Ma Chao.
However, after Ma Chao saw the scattered stones in front of the hut, a strange and happy smile appeared on his face: "Xingba, go in, if my guess is right, you should be able to sleep tonight Have a peaceful sleep.
Anyway, I remember that Shadow’s investment is the largest among the military.
The intelligence contact point they set up cannot be so shabby.”
However, just after Ma Chao happily pushed open the dilapidated door that was about to fall apart, a black and sharp hidden arrow flew out like lightning.
Under the light dark night, Ma Chao also saw the faint green color on the arrow. gloss: arrows are poisonous His mind was racing, and his body reacted accordingly.
As if he hadn't moved, but with only a slight muscle twist, the hidden arrow grazed Ma Chao's neck.
After Ma Chao received this secret attack, he advanced instead of retreating and rushed into the hut.
He immediately saw a scene that he did not expect.
The hut with a radius of less than one foot was completely occupied by corpses.
The suffocating smell of blood filled this airtight hut, making people feel like they were in a slaughtering hell.
Every time he took a step, Ma Chao felt that the sticky blood on the ground was almost sticking to the soles of his shoes.
The blood and temperature are hot and have not dissipated yet.
This massacre will definitely not last more than two hours.
At the same moment, Ma Chao also saw a figure flashing by the stove of the hut.
With a sudden frown on his face, he stepped forward and punched the broken cauldron, breaking the iron cauldron directly.
When they pulled out a black shadow from the stove, Gan Ning and Lu Qiling also took their weapons and flew in.
Seeing the miserable situation in the hut, their faces were shocked.
Gan Ning was aroused by the blood in the room, and his murderous impulse immediately surged violently.
He swung his knife and wanted to kill the man in Ma Chao's hand.
"Don't do anything, he is a man from the shadows," Ma Chao suddenly shouted.
After seeing clearly that the man was wearing the night clothes specially made by the Ma family's shadows, he quickly spoke to stop Gan Ning.
The strong wind of the stainless steel sword stopped immediately, barely scratching the skin of the man's neck.
But a ridiculous thought suddenly arose in Ma Chao's mind: Comrade, you must hold on, don't pee your pants and embarrass the Ma family:
