The village of Zou, 20 miles north of Yuyang County, was a famous local clan with the surname Zou, although no prominent officials, but very powerful in the Nanyang area.
In 184, Yingchuan, Runan, Nanyang, Qingzhou and other places first encountered a major drought, and locust plague, the people have no harvest no way to live, Zhang Jiao old road to cut the flag uprising, the bandits soon spread, the world responded, the court was unable to conquer, so the imperial court ordered the 13 states of Han and a part of the counties to recruit volunteer soldiers to fight the bandits.
The emperor's edict to the territory of Yuyang, threatened by the yellow turban in Nanyang Zou family immediately heard the wind and moved to raise funds to form a 800-member volunteer soldiers, and elected to be able to write and martial Zou Jing as the commander. This Zou Jing is a rare local teenage talent, the age of the Qingqing was cited as a filial piety, into the court for the Lang official, after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban uprising, by the governor of Youzhou Liu Yan nominated, exiled to Yuyang when the county lieutenant (county lieutenant, equivalent to the current county public security chief).
After becoming the commander of the volunteer soldiers, Zou Jing diligently trained, while actively liaising with Qin Jie, the governor of Nanyang, always ready to crush the Yellow Turban.
Yesterday noon, Qin Jie condemned to send an urgent letter, let Zou Jing to Echinoyang proceedings, Zou Jing know that the opportunity to crush the Yellow Turban finally came, immediately point up 500 volunteer soldiers move to the body to Echinoyang, while the remaining 300 volunteer soldiers are given to his sister Zou Yu Niang responsible for training, help guard the city. Zou Yu Niang age seventeen, jade face snow, graceful body, although just a woman, but a remarkable figure, a martial arts far better than his brother, a silver gun to make the spread, dozens of strong men do not want to get close.
This morning, Zou Yu Niang rate of 300 volunteer soldiers rushed to the schoolyard outside the city training, just walked to the city gates, saw the gatekeeper Ding Laoshi panting and ran into the city, looking panicked, seems to be what happened.
......
The third day at dawn, he finally arrived outside of Yuyang City, and when he saw the brightly lit and heavily guarded official army on the city tower, Ma Yue breathed a long sigh of relief.
From Yuyang to Hanshou City (present-day Changde), the seat of the Assassins' Department of Jingzhou, all were under the control of the official army, and Hanshou City was the destination of Ma Yue's trip, so he planned to find a place to settle down in Hanshou City.
After the Yellow Turban in Nanyang was exterminated by Zhu Jun, there were peasant riots in Changsha, Guiyang and Zeroing, but they were quickly quelled by Sun Jian with his troops.
It was not until Liu Biao died in 208 A.D. and the Battle of Red Cliff broke out that Jingzhou began to be in turmoil, but that was already 24 years later, when the Chen brothers had already come of age and Ma Yue had fulfilled Chen Xue's mandate.
But then again, arriving at the official army's sphere of influence doesn't mean it's safe.
The last time he was caught by the official army in Bowang County, it was like it happened yesterday. The cause of the incident was just because Ma Yue picked up a yellow turban as a belt on the road, and as a result, he was mistaken for a yellow turban thief by the official army.
Ma Yue finally double-checked, sure that the three of them no longer have anything to do with the Yellow Turban, and only then led the Chen brothers strutted towards the east gate of Yuyang County. As long as they were not mistaken for Yellow Turban thieves, Ma Yue did not think he would be as unlucky as last time. It was unlikely that anyone would recognize him here, he hadn't been in the Yellow Turban Army for long, and he was only a pawn, so who would pay attention to a pawn like him?

But in the world, nine times out of ten, things are not as they should be.
When he reached the city gate, Chen Le suddenly tugged Chen Dang's sleeve and pointed to the bulletin on the wall and called out, "Brother, look, isn't that the portrait of big brother?"
It was early in the morning and there were not many pedestrians going in and out of the city gate, so Chen Le's shout was abrupt and immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the gate, including the four gate guards, who turned their heads to Ma Yue and looked at him.
Chen Le shouted, Ma Yue knew that things were not good, and then turned his head to the city wall to look at immediately like a thunderstorm! I thought, "What the **** is really evil, what is going on? He is just a small yellow turban bandit sword and shield, but actually become the court wanted wanted list of criminals! For a small pawn, is it necessary to exaggerate like this?
Of course, Ma Yue did not know that three days ago at the battle of White Dragon Beach, he had already left a deep impression on the official army and was regarded by Zhu Jun as a big problem for the court of the Great Han Dynasty.
However, Ma Yue has no chance to be frustrated and wonder, because the four official soldiers at the city gate have already made their move, one of them turned and ran into the city gate, it seems to be to bring help, the other three scattered, hand on the hilt of the sword, alert to lean towards Ma Yue, as for those pedestrians, after realizing that something bad has happened long ago scattered.
Ma Yue's shoulders collapsed and he put on a harmless posture, a bitter smile appeared on his face and said, "Three soldiers, this is a misunderstanding, I am just a hunter in the mountains, not Ma Yue, the criminal."
The three official soldiers did not say anything, tensed their faces and tried to copy Ma Yue's back road.
Although he could not understand how he became a wanted criminal, he knew one thing very well, if he fell into the hands of the army today, he was afraid that even if he had ten heads, they would not be enough to chop them off.
Throwing the bundle of hay on his shoulders to the sky, Ma Yue drew his snowy steel sword from it like lightning, blocking the way of the three official soldiers, and then roared at the dumbfounded Chen brothers, "Run!"
"Don't let the criminal Ma Yue go!"
Ma Yue's words fell, the city gates sounded a chorus of shouts, and then the sound of chaotic horse hooves and footsteps came, listening to the sound must be a few hundred people! Ma Yue almost choked, is there any mistake? That guy ran into the city gate less than a minute, so quickly brought in help, or several hundred people! How can people live?
The reinforcements were right behind them, and the three officers were so brave that they immediately drew their steel swords and pounced on Ma Yue like wolves.
The wolf-like gaze flashed out from Ma Yue's eyes. As long as there was a chance of survival, he would never give up.
"Kill!"
Ma Yue shouted, the steel sword in his hand cut out horizontally, the sharp blade cut the air and sent out a sharp whistle, the three official soldiers who pounced viciously immediately changed their faces and dodged back. Ma Yue won the momentum but not forgiveness, steel sword waving like a long and endless river waves, endlessly towards the three official soldiers cover over.
"Dang~~"
After a clear sound of gold and iron, Ma Yue's steel sword struck the steel sword of the officer at the front with an unbeatable momentum.
"Go to hell!"
Ma Yue's eyes are full of murderous energy, carrying the sword to chase and kill.
......
The city gate, a ride like flying instantly arrived, it is the white robe and silver armor, hand-held silver gun Zou Yu Niang.
Ma Yue with a thunderous force will kill three official soldiers on the spot, under the light of the rising sun, Ma Yue standing proudly with his sword, covered in blood, like a god of killing from the nine hells. In front of him, the three soldiers had been split into six pieces, blood splattered five steps.
Hearing the sound of hoofbeats, Ma Yue's heart shuddered and turned around, only to see a team of distinctive armor, neatly dressed official army is quickly killed from the city, the cherry red fringe confused Ma Yue's eyes. The official army front, a ride like snow, frosty silver spear has been close at hand, the cold killing aura straight through the door.
Ma Yue's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the ninth valley, the last glimmer of hope completely extinguished, saving the Chen brothers was no longer possible, now it was time to fight for their own survival.
"Kill!"
Ma Yue let out a tiger roar, not retreating but advancing to meet Zou Yuniang, this is his only chance to live! To be precise, Zou Yu Niang's mount was his last chance to live. But soon, Ma Yue discovered that he had made an incredibly foolish decision, this beautiful, seemingly weak female general was stronger than he could have imagined.
