Wei Xiaobao's Three Kingdoms Adventure

Chapter 136 Who is ambushing whom?

Zhao Yun and Ma Teng had already arrived at the center of the battlefield, and both sides were on the verge of a fight and dared not move forward.

Wei Xiaobao carried Ma Yunlu off the horse and found that she was even half a head taller than him. He hid behind her and shouted, "Who is Ma Teng?"

Ma Teng pointed at Wei Xiaobao and said, "Let my daughter go now, or I'll destroy Wancheng and behead you!"

Wei Xiaobao said, "You should withdraw your troops immediately, or I will collect your daughter's body!"

Ma Teng said, "How could any of the children of Xiliang be so afraid of death?"

Ma Yunlu suddenly turned the gun around and stabbed himself in the throat.

Ma Teng yelled when he saw this.

Wei Xiaobao hurriedly waved the dagger in his hand to block.

With a "swish", the spear broke neatly at the top of her head. The spear tip brushed past Ma Yunlu's forehead and flew out, only cutting off a strand of her hair.

Wei Xiaobao cursed, "You silly woman, I didn't really want to kill you, I just wanted to scare your father!"

Ma Yunlu said, "You insulted me first, and now you want to threaten my father. I won't let you succeed!"

Wei Xiaobao felt pity, loosened his hand, took two steps back, and said, "Go away. You won't be able to scare your father if I keep you here!"

Ma Yunlu had escaped death, his face full of surprise. Just as he was about to mount his horse, he heard Wei Xiaobao say, "Wait!"

Ma Yunlu turned and looked at Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao threw the boots over: "Give it back to you."

Ma Yunlu took the boots and put them on. After getting on the horse, he suddenly turned around and said, "Don't think I'll thank you. If I see you again next time, I'll definitely kill you!"

Wei Xiaobao watched Ma Yunlu ride away, grabbed Ma Yunlu's shaved hair in his hand, and shouted, "Then come back tomorrow to challenge me!"

Zhao Yun had already led his soldiers to Wei Xiaobao's side and asked, "Second brother, why did you let her go?"

Wei Xiaobao said, "I thought that capturing Ma Teng's men would force him to retreat, but I didn't expect that he would even sacrifice his own daughter."

Both sides retreated.

The next day, Ma Yunlu came to challenge again.

Zhao Yun noticed some movement in the woods on either side and said to Wei Xiaobao, "Brother, I'm afraid Ma Yun has set an ambush. We shouldn't fight anymore today."

Wei Xiaobao followed Zhao Yun's hand and saw a bird indeed flying out of the woods. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Brother, she has her ambushes, and we have our own strategies. I'll go back to the city to find Brother Zhang San first. You send someone to the front of the battle line to tell Miss Ma that she stabbed me and I'm injured yesterday. I can't go into battle until I'm well again tomorrow!"

Zhao Yun knew that Wei Xiaobao was harboring another evil idea, so he smiled and said, "I'll go and tell him myself."

Wei Xiaobao returned to Wancheng, and Zhao Yun rode out on horseback.

Seeing a stranger coming, Ma Yunlu raised his gun and asked, "Where is that shameless boy from yesterday?"

Zhao Yun said, "My second brother was injured by the general yesterday. He is now recuperating in the army and will be available for battle tomorrow."

After hearing this, Ma Yunlu turned around and left.

After Wei Xiaobao returned to the Arrow Tower from Wancheng, Zhao Yun smiled and said to him, "Second brother, I think you really have offended Ma Yunlu!"

"Why would you say that, brother?"

"The ambush was set specifically for you. I was hoping to test her marksmanship, but she didn't want to fight me at all. She heard you were recovering from your injuries and wouldn't be able to fight until tomorrow, so she just turned around and left without saying anything."

Wei Xiaobao chuckled, "It seems I've pissed her off quite a bit! But I've already had Brother Zhang San lead his troops to set up an ambush in the woods. If she tries this trick again tomorrow, we'll use our own tactics against her!" Early the next morning, Zhao Yun saw the branches rustling and birds flying in the woods to the north. He hurriedly woke Wei Xiaobao, "Brother, we've already captured Yide. Now we just have to wait for Ma Yunlu to take the bait."

Sure enough, less than an incense stick of time passed before a soldier came to report: "Ma Yunlu of Xiliang is challenging us to a fight!"

Wei Xiaobao washed up calmly, then waited for someone to help him put on his armor before riding out to fight.

Ma Yunlu snorted coldly when he saw Wei Xiaobao: "I thought you were dead!"

Wei Xiaobao chuckled and said, "If I die, won't you become a widow?"

Ma Yunlu's eyes were filled with rage, and he pointed his spear at Wei Xiaobao and said, "Even if you didn't die yesterday, today is the day you die!"

Wei Xiaobao's gaze shifted from the spear in Ma Yunlu's hand to the riding boots on his feet. "Oh, I got a new spear and a new pair of boots. I just don't know if the boots are tight enough today, so I don't take them off again like last time."

Ma Yunlu kicked his feet and urged his horse to charge towards Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao was wearing armor and had difficulty moving. Before Ma Yunlu could get close to him, he had already slid off the horse with his butt sticking up.

Seeing him standing on the ground, Ma Yunlu immediately reined in his horse and said, "Humph, do you think I'd be fooled?"

Wei Xiaobao chuckled: "Are you scared?"

Ma Yunlu flipped his wrist and shook his arm, sinking the spear into the dirt. He then drew a curved saber from his back and said, "Today, I will kill you with my sword!"

In the blink of an eye, Ma Yunlu, with his chest pressed against the horse's back and his saber skimming the ground, had already reached Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao's movements were clumsy, and the saber in Ma Yunlu's hand was more flexible than the spear. The situation between the two sides was completely different from the day before.

After dodging several times, Wei Xiaobao knew he could not delay any longer, so he found the right opportunity to climb onto his horse and escape.

When Ma Yunlu saw him mount his horse, he galloped away, grabbed the spear on the ground and gave chase.

Wei Xiaobao initially pretended to run back, but after being blocked by Ma Yunlu, he quickly ran south.

Ma Teng laid ambushes in the woods to the north and south, but only the ambush in the north was secretly controlled by Zhang Fei.

Seeing that Wei Xiaobao was about to fall into the trap, Ma Yunlu was overjoyed and rode his horse at full speed to chase him, fearing that Wei Xiaobao would find a chance to escape halfway.

Wei Xiaobao knew that there were ambushes in the woods ahead. When Ma Yunlu caught up with him, he was probably shot, and then took the opportunity to turn his horse around and escape to the north.

Ma Yunlu stabbed Wei Xiaobao in the back of his armor with a spear and found that he was different from the day before.

The day before yesterday, Wei Xiaobao was only wearing a military uniform, but today he was wearing armor.

Ma Yunlu thought Wei Xiaobao was injured the day before and was wearing armor today to protect himself, but he didn't expect that Wei Xiaobao was using this to paralyze Ma Yunlu. The precious clothes he was wearing were much more useful than this armor.

Seeing Wei Xiaobao getting closer and closer to the woods in the north, Ma Yunlu rode faster and faster, unable to help but shout, "Today, this forest will be where you will be buried!"

Before he could finish his words, a group of soldiers suddenly emerged from the forest.

Ma Yunlu looked closely and found that the man was not wearing the uniform of a Xiliang soldier.

Before Ma Yunlu could figure it out, Wei Xiaobao had already dismounted from his horse and pointed at him, saying, "You've fallen into my ambush, why don't you dismount and surrender?"

Zhang Fei had already led his men to block their retreat and was now laughing from his horseback: "Bozhi, is this the female hero on horseback you were talking about?"

Wei Xiaobao nodded.

Zhang Fei praised her, "She is truly a heroine. Her horsemanship is beyond compare to mine."
