Xi Ma Wu, no, Ma Wu drank a bowl of water and began to tell his story, first of all, to talk about his own situation: "The little one grew up in Yecheng since he was a child, and he is twenty years old this year..."

"Twenty years old? You look fifteen or sixteen, don't you? Yu Wenwen asked, the other party looked very young, so he was surprised to learn his self-preservation age. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"The little ones just look younger..."

Ma Wu went on to say, he was born as a herdsman, he has been raising horses since his grandfather's grandfather, and he has been a herdsman in the horse supervisor for generations, and he has been like this through the changes of dynasties, so raising horses is a family inheritance, and he is even good at riding.

There is no good future as a herdsman, tired and tired of raising horses, and if you raise them well, you have to say the word "good" to the official, if you make a mistake, you will be whipped and punished and ruined.

No one wants this kind of drudgery to continue to be done by their children and grandchildren, but they are incorporated into the herdsmen, who will always be herdsmen, and by the generation of Ma Wu's father, the family is already poor.

On the fifth day of the first month, the mother-in-law gave birth to the second son Ma Wu, and then contracted the wind and cold and went a few months later.

About eight years ago, Ma Dalang injured the Ma supervisor who beat his father for no reason, and there was no news after absconding in fear of crime.

After another two years, it was when the Zhou State attacked the Qi State, Ma Wu's father was conscripted to fight with the army, and finally he was not in the chaos, Ma Wu's family was broken and lonely on the streets, and at this moment a person appeared.

That person is his brother Ma Chongyang, but at this time he has changed his name to Xi An, it turns out that after Ma Chongyang absconded in fear of crime, he became a servant of Xi Mansion by chance, and because of his flexible mind, he was favored by Erlang Jun, so he was given the name to be Xi Erlang's personal companion.

The chairman of the Xi family, Pi Luo, voted for the Zhou army to be reused, and brought the whole family to Yecheng, Xi An (Ma Chongyang) was worried about his father and younger brother at home, so he searched around the city, and finally found his hard-working brother.

The horse supervisor can't go back, it's better to raise horses for the rich and noble than to raise horses for the officials, Xi An found a way to let Ma Wu show his horse breeding skills and riding skills in front of Erlang Jun Xi Sheng, and finally let his younger brother enter the Xi Mansion.

According to the rules, he wanted to change his surname, but Xi Sheng was very appreciative of Ma Wu's horse raising skills, and called him "Xi Ma Wu" without changing his name.

However, Xi An concealed his life experience when he entered the Xi Mansion back then, and kept saying that his parents were dead and he had no brothers and sisters, and now he was afraid of causing the unhappiness of Lord Lang, so he didn't let people know that Ma Wu was his younger brother.

Xi An and Ma Wu handed over the bottom, he is now valued by Erlang Jun, sooner or later he will be able to follow Erlang Jun to develop, and then make a contribution and save money, he will redeem Ma Wu from slavery, and the brothers will find a place to buy land and live a good life together.

Ma Wu followed his brother to work in Xifu, and his life was comfortable, his family's horse raising skills, horses, and horse medicine are also very proficient, Xi Sheng likes horses, and the horses bought back with a lot of money are handed over to Ma Wu to cook, and Ma Wu also raised these horses to be fat and strong.

Xi Sheng is very satisfied with Ma Wu, so the treatment given is also improving day by day, Ma Wu's riding skills are good, so with a little training, he is skilled in riding and shooting, Xi Sheng goes out hunting and takes him with him from time to time, so Ma Wu is a horse slave and acts as a guard.

The two brothers of the Ma family mixed well in Xifu, Xi An (Ma Chongyang) was quite valued by Xi Sheng and became one of his henchmen, Ma Wu was loyal and honest, and he was very popular among the servants of Xifu, and his life went on day by day.

Zhou civil turmoil, and later set up a new court in Yecheng, the chairman of the Xi family, Bi Luo, as the prime minister's lieutenant Chi Yuangan, served as the governor of Xuzhou, and there was another courtyard in Yecheng, and Ma Wu raised horses in Yecheng, and Xi Wu followed Erlangjun in Xuzhou.

More than a month ago, Erlangjun came to Yecheng, and Xi An also came to Yecheng, and the brothers were reunited again, but one day Xi An was suddenly called out to run errands, and after coming back, he hurriedly met with Ma Wu.

"Brother said that he had done a big thing for Erlangjun, and he wanted to go back to the old mansion in Xuzhou to hide for a while, it was said that there would be nothing, but..."Ma Wu suddenly became emotional when he said this, "Brother said, just in case, if you don't see the message from him after a month, it means that he is dead." ”

"After my brother left, there was no more news!!"

"Huh? Do you remember the date when your brother did something big? Yu Wenwen asked, because he thought of a possibility.

Ma Wu said a date, which was the day when Yu Wenwen entered the palace to perform and make money, and asked Ma Wu about the specific time when his brother went out to run errands, which was when he was arrested and put in the prison of the Qiu Guanfu.

"That's it..."Yu Wenwen was a little excited when he heard this, because the person he had been looking for was most likely the brother in front of him - Xi An (Ma Chongyang).

The key person who ran errands for Xi Sheng and bought the prisoner to castrate him!

Yuwen Wen forcibly held back his excitement and asked Ma Wu to continue, only to see Ma Wu choked up and told what happened next: That day, Xi An hurriedly explained to him, if he didn't see a message from him a month later, it would mean that something had happened.

What will happen? Ma Wu couldn't figure it out, but at that time, his brother was in a hurry, and he seemed to have something unspeakable, and he didn't have time to say too much, just told him not to ask about his whereabouts no matter what happened.

The two of them are brothers, no one knows in Xifu, and the message that Xi An confessed is the code between the brothers: Xi An has arrived in Xuzhou, and if he is safe, he will let the people in Xifu send back a message saying that 'the milk vetch in the old house meadow has withered'.

If there is no message, then there will be no future, Xi An told Ma Wu not to care about his whereabouts from now on, as if there was never this brother.

Not long ago, Ma Wu waited for someone to give him a message, so he had the courage to ask the housekeeper, he used the excuse that Xi An had arrived in Xuzhou, and he would check the grass situation of the horse grazing land near the old house and tell him, so he asked the housekeeper if he had received Xi An's message.

It is said that he is not qualified to ask such a question to the housekeeper, but Ma Wu has always been praised by Xi Sheng, so the housekeeper was not annoyed, and answered very simply, and relayed the message from the Xi'an people: The grass in the old house is very good.

As soon as he heard this so-called message, Ma Wuxin was half cold, he didn't know much about intrigue, but since the message agreed with his brother before was wrong, there must be something wrong with it.

What's the problem? The elder brother didn't send a message back at all, so why did the housekeeper say that Xi An sent a message back?

Ma Wu didn't dare to think deeply, he was not stupid, because he thought of a terrible result, combined with his brother's performance before leaving, he became more and more uneasy, because he realized that the result of deep thinking was that his brother was no longer alive.

No, it's impossible, my brother is such a good person, it's impossible to be fine, my brother must be doing well in Xuzhou, and he also passed the word back, but the person who passed the word had a bad memory, so the words that came to the housekeeper's ears were out of shape, it must be like this!

At that time, Ma Wu thought so, he was lucky, and felt that it must be for some reason that the words passed on by his brother were out of shape, so he entrusted the family to Xi An, which was the code word agreed upon by the brothers.

He decided to wait another month, and his brother would reply when he received the code, and then he might be able to confirm that his brother was safe and sound, so what happened before was a false alarm.

Ma Wu waited hopefully, and then on July 18, he overheard several guards drinking, one of whom was the one who escorted his brother to Xuzhou that day.

The guard drank too much and ripped open his collar to get air, and Ma Wu caught a glimpse of his brother's necklace around his neck, which was given to his brother by his father for the purpose of blessing safety, and Xi An (Ma Chongyang) would never give it to others.

Ma Wu only felt that the world was spinning, and he stumbled back to his residence, and he finally determined that something was certain in the first place: his brother was dead.

Xi An is Xi Sheng's henchman, but now he was killed by the Xi Mansion guards, so the only one who can instruct the guards to do it is Xi Sheng, Ma Wu is not a fool, he heard his brother say that he did a big thing for Xi Sheng, and he wants to go back to the old mansion in Xuzhou to hide for a while, so it can be concluded that Xi Sheng killed people and killed people.

Ma Wu only has one relative, his brother, and he still wants to live by relying on each other, and now that his brother has been killed, he only feels that his blood is surging, and he is determined to avenge his brother, but his hands and feet are poor, and it is quite difficult to assassinate Xi Sheng at close range.

It happened that Xi Sheng was going to the embassy the next day, and Ma Wu was arranged to ride a horse with him, and he had room to show himself when he got on the horse.

The **** rode on the horse, and the moment he saw Xi Sheng go out, he rushed up and pulled out the knife and cut it, although Ma Wu had not practiced the knife much, but he still had the strength to swing the knife and cut people, but Xi Sheng was pushed away by the housekeeper and escaped.

One hit missed, Ma Wu was anxious, but the crotch mount was still there, Xi Sheng was not far away, he was in a hurry, he turned around and kicked Xi Sheng directly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xi Sheng being kicked away, and before he could think about it, he was shot with an arrow, Ma Wu rushed out of the encirclement on his horseback, and saw the pursuers behind him bite tightly, and in a hurry, he drilled into the streets and alleys, jumped off the horse at a corner and hid in the house.

Frightened and evaded the government's search, he found some food to satisfy his hunger, Ma Wu stayed up for a few days and finally found an opportunity to escape from the city, because the assassination of Xi Sheng was impulsive, so he didn't think about retreating, and now he didn't know what to do at this point.

"You decided to assassinate Xi Sheng on a temporary basis, no wonder the finishing touches were messy and your clothes were not changed." Yu Wenwen finally understood why the other party was like this.

"Well, I've thought about it too, but if I take other people's clothes, then the other party's family will be unlucky." Ma Wu said, "Poor families, it is not easy to have a decent dress, if it is gone, it may not be possible to buy it again." ”

Yu Wenwen was speechless when he heard this, the other party was right, poor people often have a decent piece of clothing at home, whoever goes out will wear it, and those who are at home will wear rags or even that, that decent piece of clothing is a very valuable belongings.

"You're quite considerate of others." Zhang Dingfa looked at Ma Wu a little differently.

As soon as he saw Ma Wu by the river, he noticed the style of clothes on his body, Zhang Dingfa monitored Xifu for a while, and knew the dress of his servants and guards very well, and even thought about the idea of disguised and infiltrated Xifu to assassinate him, so he immediately concluded that the person who fainted was the one who assassinated Xi Sheng.

It's just that there were outsiders present at the time, so he signaled with his eyes that Yu Wenwen's situation was different, and then took the opportunity of riding the same horse with Ma Wu to hastily put on makeup and change his facial features, so as not to be recognized by the government.

Yuwenwen also woke up, was sent a little by Zhang Ding, and saw his volunteering appearance, he understood most of it, and found an excuse to change Ma Wu's clothes, and temporarily rented a courtyard to place Ma Wu after entering the city, and found a doctor to help him heal.

Seeing that Ma Wu would still think about others at the end of his life, Yu Wenwen was a little emotional, and he asked: "I didn't think about preparing trauma medicine for the purpose of assassinating Xi Sheng temporarily, but I didn't think about preparing trauma medicine, these arrow wounds are very important, could it be that they were forced down?" ”

Ma Wu nodded yes, he noticed that his brother was killed by Xi Sheng, and his mind was full of thoughts of revenge, where did he think of so many aftermath measures, he was lucky to get rid of the pursuers that day, and he was very painful after being hit by a few arrows on his body.

In the past few days, the wound began to deteriorate, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat, and now he has a fever again, and after escaping Yecheng, he has no food to eat, and he is worried about finding his brother's body.

The body should have been disposed of, so where to find it?

Ma Wu used his brain, pondering that Xi Wu (Ma Chongyang) should have been killed somewhere after leaving the city, and he recalled that the guard who accompanied his brother out of the city seemed to have returned not long after leaving.

At that time, he thought that the other party was just escorting Xi Wu out of the city and returning, but now the more he thinks about it, the more suspicious he becomes, his brother said that he wants to go back to Xuzhou to hide for a while, so after leaving the city, he must go south for a while and then turn to the southeast Xuzhou.

Ma Wu was very familiar with the terrain around Yecheng, and pondered that Yemagang twenty miles away in the southern suburbs was a good place to kill people and throw corpses, so he endured pain and hunger and walked to Yemagang in secret.

It's just that the wound is inflamed and he has a high fever, and the twenty-mile journey has to walk for half a day, and it is easy to come to the Wild Horse Gang, Ma Wu is already floating, and only the belief in finding his brother's body supports him.

The east side of Mustang Gang is the cemetery, and Ma Wu felt that the Xifu guards would throw the corpse after killing people, so he staggered to the southeast corner, and walked towards the river when he was thirsty, but fainted while walking.

"This good man pinched the little wrist, and he had his own ideas after the little one pretended to be dizzy." Ma Wu said, "Lang Jun, what should I do next?" ”

"Take care of your injuries, get through it first and wait for the fever to subside!"

"But, but Xi Sheng is not dead!"

"But you're dying, and your face is red, don't go back to the light." Yu Wenwen said, seeing Ma Wu's shaky but red eyes, he decided to tell the truth: "Xifu is now surrounded by the government, if you want to go, you will be sent to death." ”

"But he killed my brother, and he will pay for his life!"

"That's right, it's natural to kill people to pay for their lives, first heal your injuries and then talk about it, there's nothing to do, do what the official says!" Yu Wenwen began to follow the temptation, "Don't worry, as long as you tell all kinds of details, you will definitely get what you want..." )
