"Then will he overact?" Dou Yuru couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, is it too much?" Sun Quan also touched his chin, confused.
Everyone knows that Sun Zhongmou's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world. Of course, two fists are difficult to beat with four hands. This does not mean that Sun Quan, who is the best in martial arts, will not be in danger, but it does not mean that he will be protected like a weak woman and will not even let him take action, right?
I have only heard of heroes saving beauties. When did heroes save heroes?
Sun Quan, who was quiet and bored, also carefully observed the situation. This team of assassins was very strong, yes, but it was only very strong overall. There were no top experts among them, which made Sun Quan's expectations somewhat disappointing.
However, the sunshine boy's ability to charge back and forth among such an enemy army is quite profound. At least initially, he is no worse than Zhou Tai on the side.
"The strength is good, he shouldn't be a nobody." Dou Yuru couldn't help but say.
"Could it be that he directed and acted himself?" Sun Quan tilted his head and asked.
"Self-directed and self-acted?" Dou Yuru didn't understand this term.
"Even the assassins are among their people. All these heads were used by him as surrender certificates. He wanted to play Jing Ke's trick of assassinating the King of Qin." Sun Quan guessed. It's not surprising that he thought so. It is true that there is really no real assassin among this team. Master, you just want to kill Sun Quan? Are you sure you're not here to die?
"Listening to what you said, I don't rule out the possibility." Dou Yuru nodded.
"Go up and ask."
After all, all the enemies have been eliminated, and Zhou Tai deliberately left a few alive.
"Thank you so much for your help, this brave man. I don't know what to call him." Sun Quan greeted him with a smile and raised his hands.
"My name is Ma Chao, you should have heard of me." The sunshine boy grinned and spoke with great confidence.
Ma Chao? !
Sun Quan raised his eyebrows, this was a completely unexpected name. This was also a fate given by God. Sun Quan had always been curious about the purpose of Ma Chao's coming, but he didn't expect that he actually took the initiative to join him.
"Then you must know who I am." Sun Quan replied.
"His Royal Highness King Wu has extraordinary magnanimity and is not afraid of danger. He is truly worthy of his reputation." Ma Chao praised seriously. This is definitely Ma Chao's sincerity.
Sun Quan actually benefited a lot from his "appearance", which was of course attributed to the magic of heart-planting demons. Cultivating demons in the Taoist heart is one of the most miraculous techniques in the world. Its magic lies in the fact that it turns a person into a contradictory complex, which is both good and evil, and neither good nor evil.
This is a special temperament, this is a unique feeling. In theory, it can arouse the good impression of everyone, regardless of men and women, because no matter what type you like, you can see the shadow in your mind in Sun Quan. , and Sun Quan also has something more than this type of person. So, it’s not just like, it also includes awe, fear, and admiration. . . . . Wait, wait, whatever you can think of, you can see it in Sun Quan.
So, when Cao Cao met foreign guests, he was worried that he was not handsome enough, but Sun Quan had no such worries. If the visitor thinks Sun Quan is handsome, then the Sun Quan he sees will be handsome; if the visitor thinks Sun Quan is powerful, then the Sun Quan he sees will be powerful. No matter who it is, when they see Sun Quan, they will praise him as "well-deserved"!
This is why Ma Chao did not think that Sun Quan was weak and timid because of his performance just now, but really felt that Sun Quan was not afraid of danger.
However, not afraid in the face of danger?
Danger?
How did Ma Chao judge that Sun Quan was in danger? ? Is this guy really stupid, or is he just acting awkwardly?
"I wonder how Brother Ma knew that someone would assassinate me here?" Sun Quan didn't like to beat around the bush, so he directly opened his mouth to test. Sun Quan relied on Jiangdong's powerful intelligence network, and he relied on himself as bait. Ma Chao had just arrived, so what did he rely on? It's not such a coincidence, is it?
"Because I have been chasing them from Liangzhou to Jiangdong." Ma Chao replied without any hesitation. This is the fact.
"Oh? Brother Ma has a grudge against these people?" Sun Quan asked curiously.
"We don't know each other." Ma Chao shook his head, "I just happened to know that someone wanted to assassinate you, so I came to help you. Fortunately, I finally caught up and prevented them from succeeding."
"This makes me even more interested." Sun Quan looked at Ma Chao and asked, "You and I are strangers to each other. Why are you helping me? You have come all the way to help me in person?"
"Because Your Highness, King Wu, is a sentimental person, and I don't want you to be harmed by foreigners." Ma Chao replied.
"Feelings?" Sun Quan was very surprised by this answer.
"That's right." Ma Chao nodded seriously, "Unify the world, end the troubled times, revive the strong men, and expel foreign sentiments!"
After hearing this, Sun Quan was in awe, Ma Chao was indeed blind!
Soon, after further detailed discussions, Sun Quan finally figured out the origin of this funny and unfounded incident.
As we all know, Sun Quan's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, but what is really well known is that the news in this era is quite limited! This occlusion has both objective reasons and human factors.
The objective reasons are naturally limited by the times. High-level officials may have their own intelligence network, but what about the people? It can only be spread by word of mouth. Therefore, the news from Jiangdong has spread to the farthest northwest, and there is no telling how much is left.
As for the human factor, it is naturally the enemy's slander. Sun Quan has been creating for himself the power of being invincible and invincible. In order to confront Sun Quan, Cao Cao obviously did not want his soldiers and people to have such fear. Therefore, Cao Cao insists that Sun Quan was the one who lost in Hefei. He seizes the opportunity to belittle Sun Quan in secret, including the battle between Sun Quan and Tong Yuan. Do you believe it? Of course it was Sun Quan who was bragging and spreading lies!
So, it's not like Ma Chao hasn't heard similar rumors, but he doesn't believe them either. Nonsense, in Ma Chao's impression, Sun Quan was well-known in Luoyang at a young age and was a dazzling new star in the literary world. He was obviously a scribe who was good at strategy, so how could he suddenly and inexplicably be able to fight Tong Yuan? Playing mahjong is pretty much the same!
Therefore, Ma Chao really believed that Sun Quan might be in danger and he came to save him. The Ma Chao clan often dealt with foreigners in Xiliang. Their intelligence network penetrated more into the Xiongnu, so it was not surprising that they learned about the actions of some foreigners who wanted to assassinate Sun Quan.
Ma Chao was like this, and the Huns were like this too. Sun Quan was speechless and regretful. None of these guys thought that Sun Quan would be a top master. That's why no top warriors on the grassland participated in this assassination. After all, the grasslands are not monolithic. Their top masters usually intimidate each other and rarely move.
As for Ma Chao's so-called "feelings", although Sun Quan found it very funny on the spot, for some reason, it made Sun Quan feel a lot afterward and he will never forget it for a long time.
After Yuan Shu, no one in the world dared to proclaim himself emperor easily, but that was just not proclaiming emperor. The major princes settled in a corner and defended the city in front of the local emperor who no one could control. Who really wants to unify the world and restore the great country?
Ma Chao didn't call it ambition, he called it - feelings.
