    After hearing this, Sima Zhao looked heavy and cast an anxious look at Ma Guang.  Ma Guang understood and gave orders to several men beside him. The men took the order and lurked everywhere.  Immediately, Sima Zhao and Ma Guang, about seven or eight people, headed west.  After a while, two teams of people came one after another. One team came from the north gate, and the other team came straight from the west gate.  Among them, the group of people who came from the north gate were all Feiyuan's dead soldiers, while those who came from the west gate were soldiers led by Yang Ku.  There were about five or six people in the group of flying kite warriors, flying out like apes.  Suddenly there was a cry of killing, and two men pounced on a flying kite dead soldier, and stabbed him with a sharp knife like crazy.  The Feiyuan Death Soldier was unprepared for a moment, and when he was about to struggle, two sharp blades had been inserted into his chest and abdomen respectively, killing him on the spot.  The two Feiyuan Death Soldiers not far away noticed, with cold expressions on their faces, and quickly fired their darts.  The two men were also very skilled, and they dodged and avoided.  At this moment, something unexpected happened again.  Suddenly a Han man rushed out from behind, holding a sharp knife, and stabbed the dead warrior Fei Yuan in the back of the head.  Suddenly, blood bursts out.  The Feiyuan soldier who was attacked fell to the ground and died.  At this time, the three flying kite warriors behind them all had faces as cold as frost, and they all fired darts.  The man who had succeeded in the sneak attack just now couldn't dodge, and blood flowers bloomed one after another. He was hit by seven or eight darts, and he fell to the ground and died.  Yang Ku was horrified by what he saw and shouted angrily. He pulled out the instrument knife from his waist and, like a cheetah, walked as fast as he could fly and cut off a man's head with one blow.  The remaining man was instantly killed by the Feiyuan Death Soldiers who attacked from a group.  Yang Ku's face was cold and clear, his eyes were shining brightly, and he shouted.

    "These people are all dead soldiers. It seems that the escaped person is not an ordinary person. He must not be far away now. Let's give chase!!"

    "As Yang Ku said, to train such an elite warrior not only requires a lot of money, but also requires years of training. Each one is valuable.  If it weren't for the important people, how could they be protected by such dead soldiers.  After Yang Ku finished speaking, he walked away quickly.  Each of Feiyuan's dead soldiers was proficient in the art of tracking. They found various tracks along the way, and they could guess the direction in which Sima Zhao was leaving.  After a while, in a forest entrance, thin arrows from crossbows suddenly shot out.  Yang Ku's expression changed, and he hurriedly waved his sword to resist. The two soldiers beside him were unable to resist, and were shot in the shoulder and thigh respectively.  Fortunately, it's not a critical point.  However, in an instant, the two soldiers turned black, foamed at the mouth, screamed, fell to the ground and struggled in pain for a while, then died.  Yang Ku saw it and shouted hurriedly.

    "Be careful, the arrows are poisonous!!"

    As Yang Ku shouted, the four Feiyuan warriors immediately looked solemn, each brandishing their daggers, blocking and fighting.  Yang Ku also shouted loudly, slashed with his knife, and rushed towards the forest.  Ma Guang, who was giving the command, was startled when he saw Yang Ku's bravery, and hurriedly took out a sharp blade from his arms.  Seeing Yang Ku rushing in, at the same time, the four flying kite warriors also looked forward to the attack, and stabbed to death the warriors who were ambushing in the forest.  Ma Guang had a ferocious face and held a sharp knife, so he rushed towards Yang Ku. Judging from the posture of waving, he was very good at martial arts.  Yang Ku moved to dodge, then suddenly turned around, twisted his knife and struck.  The instrument knife was slender, fast and fierce, cutting through iron as if it were mud. In an instant, Ma Guang was hacked to death from his waist.

    On the other side, on the path not far away, Sima Zhao listened to the constant sounds of fighting that gradually disappeared. His face was panicked, and he fled in a hurry with a man and a woman.  At this moment, a leisurely singing sound came from the road.  I saw an old man in his fifties or sixties riding a donkey.  Sima Zhao's eyes widened, as if he had expected it, and he asked the old man anxiously.

    "Old man! We are being chased by our enemies. Do you know any secret passage nearby?!"

    By this time, Sima Zhao had wiped off the appearance on his face and transformed into a middle-aged man again.  After hearing this, the old man's expression changed. When he saw the two men and one woman, they looked nervous and frightened, and their eyes were wary, which was particularly similar to his own back then.  At this moment, the old man's heart softened, thinking that God has the virtue of a good life. He had done many evil things and was in trouble, because he was saved by a good man, so he still had a chance to improve his body.  After thinking about it, the old man didn't care whether Sima Zhao and others were good or evil, so he pointed to a location in the southeast and answered quickly.

    "There is a secret passage there, which I only discovered a few years ago. Look there and run away quickly!"

    After hearing this, Sima Zhao felt happy and secretly thought that there was indeed a noble person helping him. He thanked the old man and hurried to the location pointed by the old man.  Seeing Sima Zhao and others leaving quickly, the old man sighed sadly.  This old man was Lao Niu. It is said that Lao Niu was invited by Wen Shun, and later he heard that Prince Wang was getting married, and the wedding date happened to be the same as Wen Shun's.  Lao Niu was shocked when he learned Wen Shun's identity.  Today Lao Niu planned to come with the villagers.  Unexpectedly, Lao Niu thought it was not a good gift, thinking that Wen Shun loved wine, and recalled that he had buried several jars of Shilixiang outside the village many years ago. Although they were buried not long ago, they were still some years old.  Lao Niu was delayed by this, but he was not in a hurry. After getting the wine, he rode a little donkey over.

    Suddenly, there was a loud sound.  Lao Niu's expression changed. He had been a thief before. Didn't he know this?If someone flees in distress and kills someone, they have already prepared for it and get out of the way quickly.  A thin arrow grazed the old cow's shoulder, leaving a trail of blood.  Lao Niu thought he had escaped, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain from the wound on his shoulder, which quickly rushed to the internal organs in his body.

    "This arrow is poisonous!!"

    The old cow screamed sadly in his heart, shook his body, and fell off the donkey.  And Yang Ku, who was coming here, suddenly started to tremble all over, and his heart was beating with fear, as if there was a great omen, so he hurriedly accelerated his pace.  When Yang Ku arrived, he saw a little donkey on the road, with several jars of wine full of mud hung on the donkey.  The old man lying on the ground was his father!  ?

    "Father!!!"

    The sheep withered, its eyes turned red, and it rushed over.  The old cow turned black all over and was shaking constantly, as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.  Yang Ku knelt on the ground and hurriedly helped the old cow up and let him lean on him. He cried incessantly and hissed loudly.

    "Father~~!! Who did it!!!"

    The soldiers who came with the withered sheep and the dead soldiers were all moved when they saw the withered sheep and were in pain.  A flying kite warrior saw an arrow stuck in the earth wall next to him and whispered a few words in Yang Ku's ear.  When Yang Ku heard this, his face suddenly became ferocious and twisted, and he shouted with gritted teeth.

    "Thieves kill talents. If I, Uncle Yang, don't kill you all, I will never be a human being!!!"

    At this time, Lao Niu suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped the skirt of Yang Ku's clothes tightly, and opened his mouth to speak intermittently.

    "When will I be repaid for my grievances? It's all that I can survive till now, and that I still have such a promising boy like you. It's a gift from God. Little boy! Let me take a good look at you.  ¡±

    Yang Ku trembled all over, looking at his father's face that was gradually losing his vitality, he cried like a child.  The old cow's rough, huge, calloused hands gently stroked the sheep's withered face, and then said.

    "The wine on the donkeyis for His Highness, your little boy. Don'tforgetHis Highness valueslove and justice. If you follow himyou will be successful, I canrest assuredand go."

    "Your Majesty!! Where did those thieves escape? I will definitely avenge you!!!"

    One of Yang Ku¡¯s deployments shouted with sorrow and hatred on his face.  When Lao Niu heard this, he shook his head and said no more words before his death.  The sheep shriveled and wept, heartbroken.  He originally wanted to establish a reputation and wait for the world to be unified in a few years, so he took his father into the city, married a wife, and started a family. He and his father would enjoy family happiness and serve him until he was old.  Unfortunately, before his fame was established, his father died unexpectedly.  It is said that the son wants to be raised but the relatives do not wait for him. How can the word "sorrow" be used if the way of heaven is ruthless?

    So Sima Zhao survived nine deaths. Fortunately, Lao Niu gave him advice and escaped when he was in extreme danger.  Wen Shun never expected that on his wedding day, when the whole country in the Western Tang Dynasty was celebrating, such a tragedy would occur.  The person who caused this tragedy was Sima Zhao, whom he regarded as a flesh and blood brother.  On that day, Chang'an City was full of joy, the whole city was filled with red colors, banquets were laid out everywhere, and all the people who came to attend the wedding banquet were warmly entertained.  In the Chang'an Palace, the civil and military officials kept cheering. Wen Shun was very busy because he had no skills, but he did not forget Lao Niu and Ma Zhao. He also saw that the sheep had not returned yet, so he sent people several times to look for them.  Unexpectedly, until the banquet was about to end, Lao Niu and Ma Zhao were nowhere to be seen, and even Yang Ku was missing.

    The so-called four great joys in life are dew coming after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land.  It¡¯s a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and it¡¯s time to inscribe names on the gold medal list.  Today is Wen Shun's big day. Although Wen Shun was a little depressed, he still focused on the banquet.  One night passed, Wen Shun returned home drunk, and his beloved wife had been waiting for him for a long time.  Soon Wen Shun was fascinated by Lexiang.

    The only son of King Wenhan of the Western Tang Dynasty, Wen Shun, finally got married and started a family, and the whole country was overjoyed.  A few days after Wen Shun's wedding, in the Gongde Hall of Chang'an, Yanggu's face was filled with tears and he reported everything that happened a few days ago.  Wenhan let out a long sigh and said with great sadness.

    "You actually want to go home and observe your filial piety, and I can't stop you. Your old father has a great kindness to the prince, and I will definitely repay him. But don't tell the prince about this for now."

    After Wenhan said this, he made Yang Bing (also known as Lao Niu) a good prince, rewarded him with a thousand gold coins, and erected a monument for his merits.  Yang Ku bowed heavily, thanked him and left.  Wen Han then taught Fei Yuan to investigate the matter thoroughly and make sure to get to the bottom of it.  Soon, Fei Yuan realized that the group of thieves that day, led by Ma Guang, were all employees of Zuixian Tower.  When Wen Han knew about this, Mo Yue had already guessed that it must be related to Ma Zhao, who had suddenly appeared in recent years and was in the limelight, and he regretted it.  Although Wenhan wanted to hide it.  But paper still can't cover the fire.  Wen Shun didn't believe it when he heard that Zuixian Tower suddenly closed down and Ma Guang's family moved.
