"Name!" Sima Bing, who was guarding the level, shouted loudly with expressionless expression.

"Ma Erdong." Ma Long gave himself a casually fabricated name.

Sima Bing naturally would not doubt that there was anything wrong with this name. They searched Ma Long seriously. If Ma Long appeared on his body that was inconsistent with his refugee status, such as weapons, gold and silver, letters, etc., once these items appeared, it would be basically confirmed that he was a detailed work. These days, these sentries of Sima Jun were simply keen eyes and had seen through many spies from the Huainan Army. These spies also received due punishment, either buried alive or hung.

Sima Bing's inspection was quite meticulous, and he did not let go of every part of Ma Long's body. However, the indulgence was so careful that no problems were found. No contraband was found from Ma Long's body. So he waved his hand and signaled Ma Long to leave.

"Slow down!" A voice sounded behind him, and a Sima Jun leader called out Ma Long. He stepped forward and circled around Ma Long, and said in confusion: "How old are you?"

"Report to Jun Ye, the villain is twenty-one years old." Ma Long said with his head down.

"Twenty-one years old? Why didn't you join the Huainan army when you look strong and healthy?" The little leader of Sima Jun was full of suspicion. In fact, the reason was very simple. Most of the people who were as strong as Ma Long were recruited into the army, and few were missing the net.

The situation facing both sides is very serious now, and this is also possible that a young and strong man will become a refugee in such a vain?

Sima Bing around seemed to hear the little leader's doubts, and immediately pulled out his sword and surrounded Ma Long. If Ma Jiang's answer could not satisfy them, he would probably become a ghost under the sword.

Ma Long took two steps forward calmly, pretending to be limping. He lowered his eyebrows and said with a look of slightness: "The villain is disabled from his calf, so he is not recruited into the army."

This statement is naturally the most appropriate. If you are disabled, you will not be recruited by the army. Moreover, Ma Long's limping looks very natural and does not seem to be fake at all.

So, the little leader waved his hand and signaled to release Ma Long, and then went to check on the next refugee.

In order not to make Sima Bing suspicious, Ma Long continued to pretend to be a lame look and walked forward with difficulty. Fortunately, it was dark at this moment. After walking a few steps, he left the guard post. Ma Long saw that no one was paying attention, so he resumed walking quickly. When he left the Sima Army's battalion, he even flashed and hid in the bushes.

It has to be said that the identity of a refugee gave Ma Long a good cover. Sima Jun controlled the surrendered Huainan soldiers quite strictly. Just like the prisoners of war, there was almost no possibility of escaping.

When dealing with refugees, Sima Jun is very extensive. If there is no problem, these refugees will basically be expelled to the rear of Sima Jun. In addition to providing some food subsidies, most of these refugees fend for themselves.

These refugees who escaped from Shouchun City had no money and food, and eventually lived in the countryside of Huainan. They could barely survive by catching fish and shrimp and digging wild vegetables.

By dawn, Ma Long had already walked out of Sima Jun's control and completely parted ways with the refugee team. He sat alone in the wilderness and ate half of the hard-dried dried noodles, which was the only dry food on him.

Ma Long took off his wooden shoes. In this era, ordinary people were interspersed with straw sandals and wooden shoes. Straw sandals were all made of straw, wooden shoes were made of wood as the sole and straw rope as the strap. Compared with straw sandals, wooden shoes were more durable, but in terms of comfort, wooden shoes were inferior to straw sandals.

Other people's wooden shoes are solid, while Malong's wooden shoes are specially made. From the outside, there is almost no difference. However, after Malong opened the mechanism, he could see that it was hollow inside, with several small grids, which store a letter wrapped in oil paper and a small amount of gold nuggets.

However, these gold nuggets are naturally necessary for Ma Long. He wanted to go north to Bingzhou and travel thousands of miles, without these resources, he would not be able to move forward at all.

After seeing the gold was still hiding safely in the wooden shoes, Ma Long felt relieved. Sima Jun's investigation was extremely strict, but Ma Long had Ma Long's method. This method of hiding gold in wooden shoes was probably something no one could think of. Even if Sima Jun's post was trying to break his head, he would not have thought that Ma Long would hide the most important thing at the bottom of his feet.

Ma Long crossed the Huai River and then walked all the way north.

Using Ma Long's ability and means, stealing a war horse as a pedestal seemed not difficult, but it was a big trouble to attract the attention and pursuit of the local government, so Ma Long moved forward on foot. Although it was slower, it was the least noticeable way and was relatively safest.

Ma Long fled all the way and took nearly a month to finally arrive in Bingzhou and meet Cao Liang.

Logically speaking, with the identity of a lowly messenger like Ma Long, he had no chance to meet Cao Liang at all. He had to hand over the letter to other personnel and then pass it through it layer by layer.

Ma Long naturally knew that if he submitted it like this, it was very likely that the letter would not even reach Cao Liang. He was trusted by Wang Ling and Wang Feixiao and his son, so he insisted on meeting Cao Liang and handing the letter to Cao Liang in person.

Looking at Ma Long, who was dressed in rags and looked like a beggar, the guards of the Governor's Office naturally looked down upon them very much. What's more, Ma Long did not indicate his identity and said that he was ordered by anyone to come. With his appearance, he actually wanted to see Cao Liang above ten thousand people in Bingzhou. Of course, the guards refused for granted it. If everyone looked like him, Cao Liang would have to receive him, wouldn't he be exhausted?

Ma Long has a tough personality. Since he can spend nearly a month walking from Huainan to Bingzhou, of course he doesn't care about delaying for a few more days. He persistently guarded the gate of the Governor's Mansion. Finally, when Cao Liang left the mansion, he rushed forward and said, "Huainan messenger Ma Long pays homage to the Governor to challenge the rebellion!"

Because Ma Long's movements were as fast as the wind, Lu Chaonan, the guard commander beside Cao Liang, was alert. He was worried that Ma Long was an assassin sent by the enemy, so he immediately stood in front of Cao Liang and ordered his guards to immediately take down Ma Ma Long and verify his identity before talking about it. He must not be allowed to approach Cao Liang easily.
