It had been two days since Ma Chao escaped. Pang Tong had set up checkpoints at various important passes and checked passers-by along the way. Because Ma Chao was very skilled in martial arts, ordinary people could not deal with him, so he sent a lot of soldiers just to be safe. But this is very strange. It has been two days and no trace of Ma Chao has been found at any level. No one knows where he went. However, Pang Tong set up heavy troops in Zitong and blocked all exits. He was certain that Ma Chao must not have left Zitong yet, otherwise, it would be impossible for him not to leave some clues. Just as Pang Tong guessed, Ma Chao did not leave, and was still hiding near Zitong, but he had not yet passed Zitong's checkpoints, because these checkpoints were too strict, and Ma Chao's portrait was posted everywhere, and he suddenly became a wanted man. Prisoners, most of the soldiers guarding the checkpoints are in teams of a hundred. Even if they force their way through, no matter how powerful Ma Chao is, he cannot kill a hundred people at the same time. Ma Chao hid in the dark, watching the people passing by being interrogated one after another, and the interrogation was very careful, thinking that it would be harder than climbing to the sky to pass here. "However, it all depends on human beings, and tigers also take naps. Ma Chao has been watching every move here closely from the dark, and will never let go of any opportunity. On this day, the opportunity finally came to Ma Chao. A vehicle laden with night fragrance slowly drove towards the checkpoint. Passersby all gave way and covered their mouths and noses, not wanting to smell the stinky thing. In the end, the soldiers guarding the pass quickly passed the pass without conducting a careful inspection. This incident gave him an idea. Then secretly sneak back into a village. He exchanged the jade pendant he carried with him for such a carriage, and Ma Chao himself also disguised himself for fear of being discovered. In the evening, after the disguise, Ma Chao was no longer like an ordinary peddler. He drove a donkey cart and walked swaggering on the official road. Behind the donkey was pulling night scent filled with excrement, wherever it passed. The stench wafts around, making people cover their noses and walk quickly. To be honest, if he had no other choice, Ma Chao would definitely not choose to use this method to break through. Although he was not born into a wealthy family, he did not fall into the realm of excrement, and driving away the night fragrance car was the biggest impact on him. The challenge was the stench that assaulted his nostrils all the time. Ma Chao had to force himself to smell by the manure tank for a long time before he developed such courage, no matter how strong the stench was. It won't make him faint either. There is a bell tied around the donkey's neck, which jingles whenever it moves. Moreover, there is a foul smell all around, which makes people stay away. In order to avoid it, they hide all the way away and cover their mouths and noses. Ma Chao drove the Night Incense Car and soon arrived near the checkpoint. The soldiers guarding the checkpoint saw the Night Incense Car arriving from afar. Before the Night Incense Car arrived, many soldiers had already covered their mouths and noses. He hid far away, fearing that his body would be contaminated by the smell. He just checked casually and asked Ma Chao to leave here quickly. Ma Chao was extremely happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. He was thinking about how many hurdles he had left before escaping from Zitong. Along the way, Ma Chao used a similar method to get through two levels by luck. When he reached the third level, he passed it easily. It was already dark and torches were raised around the level. A corps leader had just passed the level. Ma Chao let him go, but before he walked a few meters, a person suddenly shouted from behind: "Stop!" Ma Chao was startled, and his hand holding the reins tightened. If there was any accident, he would be the first to call the other person. Take action. Only in this way can he seize the opportunity. "It's so late, why haven't you poured out the night fragrance yet? Where are you planning to pour it out?" A captain came over and asked. Ma Chao heard that they all spoke Sichuan dialect. If he spoke a language other than Sichuan dialect, he would probably be spotted. The most important thing is that he does not speak Sichuan dialect. Even if he learned it, he would not be able to learn it. Instead of just opening his mouth and speaking It might be safer to not open your mouth if you reveal your weakness. Seeing that Ma Chao didn't answer, the captain got angry and asked sharply: "I'm asking you a question. It's so late. What are you doing here? Where are you going to dump your night fragrance?" Ma Chao heard this. They were careful, but they couldn't answer, so they deliberately pretended to be mute and pointed fingers, saying that they couldn't hear clearly and couldn't answer them. "It turns out he is mute!" said the captain. At this time, a soldier burst out laughing and said: "Captain, you ask so many questions, are you going to steal night fragrance at night?" "Hahaha" As soon as these words were said, the soldiers immediately aroused A burst of laughter. ThatThe commander couldn't control that much anymore. He waved his hand casually and let Ma Chao go. He turned around and went back to fight the soldier who was teasing him. Ma Chao let out a sigh of relief. It was really a close call. Just as he was about to drive the Ye Xiang car forward, a loud and powerful voice suddenly came out: "You who pour Ye Xiang, stop right there!" Ma Chao was stunned again. Why is it that the more critical the moment, the easier it is for things to go wrong? He originally wanted to run away, but if he ran away like this, he would be exposed, and it would be even more difficult to pass other levels in this way. So, Ma Chao stood there without moving, just waiting quietly for what was going to happen next. All of this was unknown to him! A middle-aged man wearing leather armor and a leather helmet walked up to Ma Chao. This man's face was sallow, as if he was sick, but his eyes were very bright. He had a square face and two mustaches above his lips. He was old. Approximately thirty years old, this person's identity is the village chief, the leader of these one hundred people, his surname is Gao Mingxiang. "Aba, Aba, Aa Aba" Ma Chao imitated the mute to speak and danced with gestures. After Gao Xiang saw it, he didn't say much, but his eyes stayed on Ma Chao's feet. A pair of high-quality military boots were placed in front of him. His eyes lit up, and he quickly touched the handle of the knife with his right hand, pulled it out with a "swish" sound, and swung it directly towards Ma Chao. Ma Chao's eyes were always paying attention to Gao Xiang's hand. Seeing that the knife was about to strike, he couldn't hold it in any longer and hurriedly jumped back several meters, causing Gao Xiang to jump into the air. "Sure enough, there is a problem! Come here, catch him, he is Ma Chao!" Gao Xiang just wanted to test him, but who knew it was really Ma Chao. Ma Chao was not ambiguous, he was already exposed anyway. He threw off his clothes, revealing a close-fitting outfit, and ran into the woods on the roadside in a flash, and soon disappeared without a trace. When Gao Xiang saw Ma Chao running away, he immediately reported it to his superiors, and then reported it layer by layer, and finally returned to Pang Tong's hands. When Pang Tong learned that Ma Chao was nearby, he immediately sent more manpower and conducted a blanket search again. Even if he had to dig three feet into the ground, he still had to find Ma Chao. A large net was quickly opened within dozens of miles of the place where Ma Chao appeared. Zitong was heavily guarded. Ma Chao hid in Tibet and went deep into the mountains and forests to avoid tracking. However, Pang Tong seemed to know where Ma Chao was hiding. Whenever Ma Chao arrived, the Han army would come later, forcing Ma Chao to leave again and continue to hide deeper in the mountains. For two days in a row, Ma Chao didn't dare to slack off at all. He drank mountain spring water when he was thirsty and ate wild fruits in the mountains when he was hungry. He never even slept for more than two hours. He didn't dare to light a fire for fear that someone would discover him. , after another two days of this, Ma Chao was exhausted and tense. Once he found any abnormal noise, he was like a frightened bird. On the fifth day, bad luck came one after another. Due to lack of rest in the past few days, mental stress, and the freezing cold in the mountains, he fell ill unknowingly. First he had a slight runny nose, and then he started to feel hot and cold again. , the whole body was twitching, the limbs were weak, the mind was even more hazy, and even the spirit was in a trance. But in order to avoid being tracked, Ma Chao still dragged his sick body and walked through the rocky mountains toward higher mountains and deeper forests. At the same time, Pang Tong was worried that Ma Chao could not be found for five days in a row. According to the intelligence, there were indeed footprints and traces of resting in the mountains, but he could never find this person. This mountain can be climbed to another mountain. He was wondering if he had guessed wrong and Ma Chao had already left Zitong? When Pang Tong was still confused, Wang Ping personally escorted Ma Dai to Pang Tong. Pang Tong then wanted to use Ma Dai as a bait to let people out and give Ma Chao three days. If Ma Chao doesn't do it after three days, When he came, he beheaded Ma Dai in public. For a time, there were shouts everywhere in the mountain forest, and the birds and beasts in the mountain were frightened away. Ma Chao, who was in the mountain, also vaguely heard the news. At this moment, he was hiding in a cave with a layer of The whole person was huddled in the thick hay, his body was constantly twitching, hot and cold, fighting against the disease. Ma Chao, who used to be a prince, ended up in such a predicament today. Ma Chao felt sad. Thinking back to all the past events, had he really done something wrong? Ma Chao didn¡¯t listen to a single word of his father¡¯s Chunchun teachings. Looking back now, Ma Chao regretted it. Only then did he realize that his father was the most far-sighted and every word he said wasIt's all for his own good. But now, it was too late to say anything. Ma Chao only felt that his body was light and airy, and he began to fly into the sky. At the same time, a series of footsteps seemed to ring in his ears, and his eyes vaguely saw a few dazed figures (To be continued) 814 avoids tracking:
