The Hunted Hunter
Chapters 97. Getting to Pingdu City
Ma Guang's forces had been training hard for four months later. Ma Guang's age had grown by a year.
Ma Guang immediately tested the defensive strength of his soldiers in using a shield to counter the assault of the cavalry.
Each soldier was prepared to stand up. One of their strongest legs is behind as a defense.
Every other soldier ran and jumped and kicked the shield.
The second position is in a crouched state with the lower end of the shield placed above the ground with a slope position of about forty-five to sixty degrees. After that each soldier carried a load of about sixty kilo grams and jumped up on the shield.
All strength, speed, physical endurance as well as proficiency in using spears, swords, arrows, shields both in a walking position, running or riding a horse. Everything has been tested by Ma Guang.
Ma Guang ordered Yuan Gao to recruit warriors from the main states of Chu, Han, Qin, Wei, and others, Yan and Zhao as well as the minor states of Ba, Cai, Lai, Lu (in contrast to the city of Lu which is the capital of Jibei province where the pavilion branch is located), Shu, Song, Teng, and other countries. This is so that you can get information from every region of the opposing country.
All the information in every region of the kingdom, all taken and scrutinized the truth, so that every information to be sold, is always accurate and will not disappoint the information seeker. And this will also be very helpful for the security of escort services.
After a few weeks later, Ma Guang finally received orders from the king to help the troops in Jiaoxi province and also Langya province which directly borders the Lai kingdom.
After the completion of the patrol and cleaning in the area bordering the Lai kingdom. Ma Guang's forces will also continue operations and clean-up in the western border region as well as the northern border region of the Qi kingdom.
Ma Guang's forces will travel from the capital of the Qi kingdom, Yingqiu city, to Pingdu city at a distance of about 265 kilo meters. And from the city of Pingdu patrolling to the city of Buqi Langya province with a distance of about 235 kilo meters. Ma Guang's troops could take up to ten days to 12 days to make the journey. However, since they will be on patrol and will conduct clearance operations in the region bordering the Lai kingdom, the journey from Pingdu to Buqi will take a long time.
Ma Guang's forces will travel back to the royal capital of Qi, the city of Yingqiu will travel a distance of about 2,650 kilo meters. So it will take a long time.
Finally Ma Guang and his troops began to travel.
Xia Jiao was riding a horse to the right of Ma Guang. While Yuan Jiali rode the horse to the left of Ma Guang. While a commander who controlled the territory they were about to pass through, walked the front as a guide.
Ma Guang's army consisted of 200 horsemen and 300 infantry or walking troops.
200 Horsemen are the best soldiers in the battle on horseback.
Ma Guang requested information from Yuan Gao and Yuan Gao sent the information through the pigeons.
Their journey is currently heading to the city of Pingwang which is 125 kilo meters eastward from the city of Yingqiu.
Once the sun has started to lean west and about 2 hours will be dark. Ma Guang's troops instantly made a tent for where they rested.
While the main tent will be occupied by Ma Guang and Xia Jiao and Yuan Jiali.
Soldiers made three beds in the main tent.
That night, when they had finished dinner together, because they were still curious about the words Xia Jiao said, so Ma Guang asked the girl a question.
"Miss Xia! Can I ask you a question?." Ma Guang.
Xia Jiao looked directly at Ma Guang.
"What does the general want to ask?." Xia Jiao said formally because Ma Guang was a general.
"Why did Miss Xia call me a stupid man?." Ask Ma Guang.
"What if I call you a fool?." Xia Jiao refuted the young man's words.
"It's okay - what the hell! But I also want to know the cause so Miss Xia calls me a stupid man." Ma Guang.
"You are a fool to understand the heart, thoughts and feelings of a woman." Xia Jiao.
While Yuan Jiali was only silent when he heard the conversation of the two people.
"What is the heart, thoughts and feelings of the woman that I do not understand? Is that woman you two?." Ma Guang.
"Yes! That woman is both of us!." Said Xia Jiao with a firm tone of voice.
"That's what you think!." Say the two girls simultaneously.
Ma Guang was immediately aghast when he heard the voices of the two girls.
Because the voices of the two girls were so strong, some soldiers who were on guard went straight to the tent.
The soldiers were ready with their spears and swords.
Ma Guang immediately greeted the soldiers and dispersed them.
"Already! You guys go back to your duties, there's no problem here." Ma Guang.
The soldiers immediately resigned and continued their duties.
"All right! Let's get some rest." Ma Guang closed their conversation that night.
"Damn it! He did not continue his question. And I am ready to tell him My heart." Xia Jiao muttered as she looked towards Ma Guang who was already heading towards her bed.
"That predicate is right for him, because he never understood what we thought." Yuan Jiali.
Ma Guang himself had sharpened his auditory sense perception. So that the young man could hear what Yuan Jiali said.
"What do they mean? I'll hear their talk." Mumbles Ma Guang.
"Miss Xia! Will it go on like this continuously?." Asked Yuan Jiali.
"No! We must make him understand what we think." Xia Jiao.
"Keep, what are we going to do so that he can understand with our minds?." Asked Yuan Jiali.
"What if we go and sleep together in his bed? The size of the bed is enough for the three of us." Xia Jiao.
"Miss Xia's idea as well. But we let him sleep first and then we go and sleep next to him." Yuan Jiali added.
"What's!? They both want to sleep with me!?." This is not true! I'm not gonna let that happen." Ma Guang muttered as he got up from his bed and directly walked out of the tent.
"Where are you going?." Xia Jiao asked Ma Guang.
"I can't fall asleep, so I'll control the security situation of our troops." Ma Guang replied as he stepped out of the tent.
It was done by Ma Guang for two nights on their way to the city of Pingwang.
They spent three days on their way to Pingwang City. Because their journey did not get any obstacles.
Seeing Ma Guang's entourage, the soldier who was in charge of checking at the gate of Pingwang city immediately gave way to pass by Ma Guang's troops.
Ma Guang's troops headed to the ruling palace of Pingwang city to request their supplies in continuing their journey.
The ruler of Pingwang city directly served Ma Guang and immediately provided supplies for Ma Guang's troops.
Finally Ma Guang was able to rest in peace in Pingwang city.
After the next day, Ma Guang's troops immediately continued their journey to Pingdu city.
Two nights later, Ma Guang also did the same, so that the plans of the two girls could not be realized.
Ma Guang's forces also spent three days arriving in Pingdu city, and it was dark.
A commander who always walked at the very front immediately spurred his horse to approach the city gate to notify the soldiers who were standing guard at the city gate. After they found out, the city gate was finally opened. Ma Guang and his troops entered the city.
