Chapter 1300 Surprise! Ma Teng Died

Bai Xiaowen was realizing the harvest of this reading when suddenly there was a knock on the door of the quiet room.

"What's the matter?" Bai Xiaowen could sense the other party through the door, it was Chang Shi Dong Zhao.

There was a hint of urgency in Dong Zhao's voice: "My lord, it's not good. General Ma, died in the post!"

Bai Xiaowen stood up suddenly and opened the door.

Seeing Dong Zhao head-on, there was a trace of suppressed uneasiness on his face.

Bai Xiaowen asked: "When did it happen? Is the news true?"

"Just half an hour ago. Daoist Langyazi and Doctor Zhang have already confirmed it." Dong Zhao peeked at Bai Xiaowen's expression, saw that Bai Xiaowen's face was calm, and his mind calmed down a little, and slowly narrated.

"Does the Xiliang envoy know?"

"Your servant has ordered that all the sergeants of the post station be brought in, and the news is blocked." Dong Zhao said.

"Where are Langyazi and Zhang Zhongjing?"

"Wait outside the gate of the Inner Palace."

"Bring them in."

When Dong Zhao heard Bai Xiaowen say "please", he knew in his heart that Bai Xiaowen had no intention of holding them accountable. He hurriedly withdrew and went to summon Ge Xuan and Zhang Zhongjing.

After Bai Xiaowen changed his clothes, he saw two people in the main hall of Da Sima Mansion.

Zhang Zhongjing's face was normal, but Ge Xuan's face showed a trace of shame.

Bai Xiaowen asked: "You two don't need to panic. Daoist Langyazi, what happened?"

Ge Xuandao: "Pindao is also puzzled. Old General Ma Teng's spell can be dispelled; but just after Pindao made a pill and fed it, the spell in Old General Ma's body suddenly reversed, causing Qi and blood are disordered, and the injury is greatly aggravated!"

Zhang Zhongjing said: "I don't know much about Taoism. When I checked General Ma Teng's pulse, it was indeed after taking the golden pill that the qi and blood suddenly rioted. Many meridians in the body cracked and he vomited blood. At this point, I can't do anything. "

Ge Xuan sighed and said, "It's my fault,

Insufficient in ability, he took over the matter without authorization, resulting in the death of General Ma Teng and making the young master grudge against Xiliang. "

Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes and said: "The Taoist priest doesn't have to blame himself, life and death are fate, and Ma Teng's death may be God's will. A cultivator just needs to have a clear conscience."

Ge Xuan shook his head and said, "I have no shame towards Ma Teng, only my son."

Because Ge Xuan and Bai Xiaowen were friends, he called Bai Xiaowen instead of Da Sima, but called him the son as before.

Bai Xiaowen then ordered someone to report the news of the funeral to the Xiliang envoy, and then asked Ge Xuan: "Before treating Ma Teng, the Taoist priest once said: If the performer makes another move, the treatment may fail. Have you foreseen it?" This matter?"

Ge Xuan shook his head and said:

"Normally, even if the caster strikes again and the treatment fails, General Ma Teng will not die directly. If the opponent has the ability to curse Ma Teng directly, why not just kill him with a curse? This is one of them.

"Secondly, directly cursing and killing a general, the cultivation of this technique of praying for relief may have already surpassed that of Zhang Jiao. Looking around the world, apart from a few seniors of my sect, who else has this ability? Zhang Lu is absolutely none."

Bai Xiaowen said: "Maybe it was someone with advanced cultivation who buried the countryside to make the move."

Ge Xuandao: "Generally, Taoist masters with such a cultivation level pay attention to accumulating merits and virtues, and will not do such vicious things. Besides, it is difficult for Ma Teng to get in touch with such people, let alone make grudges." .”

Bai Xiaowen sighed: "It seems that the world is in turmoil. After Zhang Jiao's death, there are other cultivators who have disrupted the world. They cursed Ma Teng to death, just to put blame on me, to stir up discord between the Xiliang army and the court, and to get something out of it." Li. The responsibility this time does not lie with the Daoist leader. If the Xiliang Army resents me, let them resent me."

Ge Xuan sighed and said: "I have formed karma, if I retreat, how can I make progress in my cultivation? The poor Taoist is willing to follow the young master until he helps the young master find out this monster, so that he can feel at ease."

Bai Xiaowen was overjoyed and said: "With the help of the Taoist priest, why worry about not getting rid of the demon?"

Immediately, Bai Xiaowen wanted to grant Ge Xuan the post of sacrificial wine, but Ge Xuan firmly refused, so he had no choice but to give up.

The juniors in Xiliang, such as Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Yunlu and others, all wept bitterly when they saw Ma Teng's body.

Bai Xiaowen asked Zhang Zhongjing to explain the cause of Ma Teng's death. The envoys from Xiliang had different attitudes: Ma Dai was skeptical; Matthew was more skeptical.

After all, they all regarded Zhang Lu as the first target of suspicion in their hearts.

Now Bai Xiaowen told them that Zhang Lu didn't have this ability, and it was someone else with profound Taoism who prayed and practiced the curse, which caused Ma Teng's death. It is still difficult for the grieving Ma family to quickly change their preconceived ideas and believe Bai Xiaowen's rhetoric.

However, Ma Yunlu believed in Bai Xiaowen quite a bit, and almost gritted his silver teeth, clenched his fists and said, "If I find out about the monster who killed my father, I will definitely cut him into pieces!"

Bai Xiaowen said: "Unfortunately, old general Ma Teng died early, and the government and the public express deep regret. I will invite the emperor to posthumously present old general Ma Teng as former general and Marquis of Huaili; his title and military position can be inherited by the eldest son Ma Chao. Hope The Xiliang army can fight the rest and be loyal to the imperial court."

After Ma Dai came back to his senses, he thanked Bai Xiaowen: "Thank you Da Sima, I will definitely pass on these golden and jade words to my elder brother. Now that my uncle has died of illness, we need to help the coffin back home for burial as soon as possible."

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Then I won't keep you guys."

The Ma family left immediately.

Before parting, Ma Yunlu looked back at Bai Xiaowen, and saw that the latter had turned back to the inner hall.

Ma Teng's new funeral, Ma Yunlu was in a sad mood, so he naturally lost the girl's thoughts of gratitude, and together with Ma Dai and others, escorted Ma Teng's coffin back to Chang'an.

Speaking of the land of Sanfu, because Ma Teng was put to death, Bai Xiaowen didn't have the nerve to bring up the matter of taking it back. Because he knew that things would not be that simple. For those who hide behind the scenes, cursing Ma Teng to death is only the first step, and there must be a follow-up.

Chang'an.

In front of Ma Chao, a slightly fat middle-aged scribe came in to pay his respects.

"In Jianyong, Xiazhuo County, under the orders of the lord, General Han Zuo, and Emperor Uncle Liu Bei, I came here to pay a visit to General Ma."

Ma Chao said: "Come here, please. My father is not in Chang'an. I would like to thank Uncle Liu for his kindness on behalf of my father."

After Jian Yong got up, he glanced around, and said strangely: "I heard that General Ma was injured by the demon's curse, and he was ill. My lord Liu Huangshu, who is also a minister in clothes and belts, feels the same and is very worried. Come to pay a visit. Why isn't General Ma resting in Chang'an?"

Ma Chao heard the words and said: "The rice thief Zhang Lu has done a lot of harm to my father! Because I heard that Yuan Xi, the great Sima, was also a practitioner of Taoism, and he wiped out Zhang Jiao, and his Taoism is profound; so I ordered my younger brothers and sisters to escort my father to the car. Yedu went to seek medical treatment."

When Jian Yong heard this, he stumbled and sighed: "Little General, you can say that you are sending a sheep to a tiger's mouth!"
