[285] Deployment
Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan killed the legendary sperm-sucking beast encountered in the cave, and successfully saved Ma Yun and Ma Yu. With the guidance of the source, Ma Xiaoquan led Ma Yun and Ma Yu to find a lot of rare treasures, but in view of the fact that Liu Bei still had 3 days to pass through the Heavenly Absolute Valley, Ma Xiaoquan decided to give some benefits to those who dug treasures at the bottom of the valley to keep them
++++++++++++++++++++ Yuan's words are not wrong, if the nobles and bold commoners who dig treasures in the valley can't dig up good things, they will definitely be disappointed and return, but Ma Xiaoquan didn't want to see it, when the news of the treasure was released, Ma Xiaoquan was to contain these wealthy nobles, so as to give Liu Bei the opportunity to fight for Shun Lรฌ to be stationed in Fancheng.
Standing up, Ma Xiaoquan stretched his waist and said to Ma Yun and Ma Yu's brothers: "You pick some small but valuable treasures for me, I want to go out." โ
The brothers nodded, quickly sorted, and they chose not to ask much about the master's arrangement.
Soon, the brothers sorted out some good quality treasures.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, sewed the hare skin into a simple bag, and then packed the treasures into it.
After loading, he walked out of the cave without saying a word, while Ma Yun and Ma Yu wisely chose to close their eyes and recuperate.
It is much easier to dig treasure during the day than at night, and the sun shines through the valley obliquely on the valley floor, giving people a very comfortable soft feeling.
Lu Xian and Mao Gang were lying in the carriage, enjoying the sunshine, while their subordinates were digging in full swing.
Tianjue Valley is the only way from Xinye to Fancheng, where the terrain is dangerous, and there are often bandits. It is said that there was once a caravan passing by in the Heavenly Absolute Valley, and due to the robbery of the bandits, all the treasures of the caravan were left in the Heavenly Absolute Valley.
Whether this legend is true or not, at least for now, the enthusiasm of the treasure diggers is very high.
Lu Xian turned his head and asked Mao Gang, "How much did you dig up last night?" โ
Mao Gang frowned slightly and said: "Not much, only a few bronzes, but they are all quite big, I think they should be the treasures of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." What about you? โ
Lu Xian was quite proud, he received a lot of goods last night, in addition to some bronzes, Lu Xian actually dug up a few well-preserved pottery.
Lu Xian smiled and said: "I don't have much, I think so, if I can't dig up any hard goods tonight, I'll leave early tomorrow morning." โ
Mao Gang nodded and said, "I'm the same as you think." โ
Mao Gang and Lu Xian's harvest was good, but the other nobles didn't have such good luck, and after one night, there were many people with shaved heads, and even some wealthy nobles immediately announced that they were leaving
The treasure digging work is continuous, but it does not mean that the treasure diggers do not rest.
In the evening, when everyone was resting and eating, Ma Xiaoquan sneaked back to the bottom of the valley, and throughout the previous day, he was looking for larger dead leaves in the woods, and then wrapped the treasures in the rabbit skin bag with these dead leaves. When it was completely ready, it was almost evening.
Ma Xiaoquan approached a nobleman, secretly threw a dead leaf bag under their shovel, and then quickly left, because Ma Xiaoquan had reduced his weight to the lightest, so he walked without making a sound.
Ma Xiaoquan chose a few nobles who were close to the corner, first, the excavation sites of these nobles were relatively remote, second, he was also good at hiding, and third, these nobles were also one of the people who complained the most.
After a qiฤ was ready, Ma Xiaoquan quietly retreated. Retreating to a hidden depression on the mountainside, Ma Xiaoquan deliberately covered his face with dust, and then rolled more than a dozen times underground.
When passing by the stream, Ma Xiaoquan took a special look at himself, although it was evening and the sky was not too bright, but he could barely see it in front of the clear stream.
Seeing that he looked very wolf, Ma Xiaoquan laughed hehehehe.
In the left eye, Gen suddenly asked, "What are you laughing at?" Roll so dirty, so wolfy? โ
Ma Xiaoquan responded: "Of course I'm pretending to be pitiful, I have to go to the Heavenly Absolute Valley now, I disappeared last night, if I don't show up again today, I will definitely make Lu Xian's guy suspicious." โ
Yuan Oh said with a sigh: "You are playing a bitter meat trick, right?" โ
Ma Xiaoquan smashed his mouth and muttered in response: "You know too much~"
"Humph!" Yuan no longer paid attention to Ma Xiaoquan
Under the Heavenly Absolute Valley, Mao just rested for half an hour, and then led his men out of the valley, according to his words, go out to breathe. Lu Xian knew that Mao Gang was weak-hearted, and if Ma Xiaoquan suddenly appeared, Mao Gang would be exposed.
Seeing that Mao Gang came out of the valley, Lu Xian sat up and asked Yuan Fangdao beside him: "That demon Dao went out last night, why hasn't he come back yet, has he found any big treasures?" โ
As soon as Lu Xian's words fell, he saw the figure of a wolf bรจi not far away.
Lu Xian's eyes widened and he saw that it was Ma Xiaoquan who he had just finished chattering.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan's appearance, Lu Xian's heart was very happy, and he hurriedly sneered: "Yo, my Immortal Hou Ye, my Immortal Lord, why are you so wolfy, have you found a big treasure?" โ
Ma Xiaoquan stood up and patted the dust on his body, he didn't speak, but his eyes revealed a trace of solemnity.
Lu Xian is so smart, as soon as he saw Ma Xiaoquan's expression, he immediately understood.
At this time, Lu Xian was so happy in his heart, no matter what, as long as Ma Xiaoquan was uncomfortable, as long as he was deflated, Lu Xian was very happy.
Ma Xiaoquan ignored Lu Xian, found Kuai Da Qingshi alone, sat up, and meditated cross-legged.
Yuan Fang leaned over and asked Lu Xian: "Childe, that demon Dao went out last night to look for his subordinates, and today he came back alone during the day, are they his two subordinates?"
Lu Xian was ecstatic in his heart, and on the surface, he pretended to be sanctimonious, and he said: "Well, it will be very sad to lose your henchman, Yuan Fang, if I lose you one day, I think, I will be sadder than him." โ
When Yuan Fang heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The subordinates have no disagreement with the son, please let the son know." โ
Lu Xian smiled, picked up Yuan Fang, and patted him on the shoulder: "Yuan Fang, all these years, thanks to you." โ
Yuan Fang lowered his head, but a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes that only he understood
Just then, someone suddenly shouted.
"Treasure, we found treasure, ahahaha"
One person shouted this, and then several people shouted.
Lu Xian felt strange, and hurriedly sent someone over to investigate, and when he came back and heard the report, Lu Xian suddenly became anxious.
Somehow, the nobles not far away on the opposite side dug up the treasure at once, and Lu Xian didn't know exactly how he dug it, and people refused to say it, but the shining treasure was not a fake thing.
Lu Xian's heart was unbalanced.
Ma Xiaoquan squinted his eyes slightly at Lu Xian, and secretly became proud in his heart.
At the mouth of the valley of the Heavenly Absolute Valley, Mao Gang also got the news that someone had dug up (found) the treasure, and Mao Gang wanted to go in, but because Ma Xiaoquan was inside, he had no choice but to send other subordinates to go in and have a look.
The sky was completely dark, and the nobles were tossed like this, and the idea of digging treasures was rekindled.
Ma Xiaoquan pretended to think about it in deep thought, and shouted to Lu Xian not far away: "Master Lu, borrow the two of me?" โ
Lu Xian responded angrily: "Don't borrow!" โ
Ma Xiaoquan pouted: "Stingy! โ
Lu Xian smiled: "Don't you have a pair of twins, people?" โ
As soon as Lu Xian's words came out, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly lost his mind.
"If you don't borrow it, forget it, I'll do it myself~~Hey~~" At the end of the words, Ma Xiaoquan sighed deliberately.
When Lu Xian heard this, he said proudly in his heart: It seems that this demon Dao didn't find his two subordinates, uh-huh, great.
Lu Xian doesn't borrow people, it doesn't mean that Ma Xiaoquan can't recruit other people, he can't recruit nobles, but those brave civilians, Ma Xiaoquan can still recruit a few.
threw out his identity as an immortal marquis, and threw out the promise of digging up the treasure for half a point, and within a while, Ma Xiaoquan gathered more than a dozen sturdy young men around him.
"Hmm~~" Looking at the dozen or so sturdy young men in front of him, Ma Xiaoquan nodded with satisfaction and said, "I also said what Ben Hou Ye said just now, dig up the treasure, you take half of it, Ben Hou Ye takes half, of course, whoever digs it will share half of the treasure, and other people are not allowed to rob it, if you rob and make trouble, I believe you also know more or less about it, Ben Hou Ye will play a little trick and kill one or two people, it's still okay." โ
Ma Xiaoquan said, and after a little concentration, a raging fire immediately ignited on his right hand.
"Gollum~~" The dozen or so young men in front of him swallowed their saliva in unison.
"Master Hou, don't worry, we just want to make money, we won't beat our own people."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, pointed to the tools he had prepared, and said, "Then let's start!" โ
The treasure digging tools of the commoners are definitely not as good as those prepared by Ma Xiaoquan, these tools were scraped from Lu Xian earlier, and after leaving last night, Ma Xiaoquan temporarily deposited these tools in the hands of a nobleman who had a good relationship with him.
The nobleman is also trustworthy, and on the night Ma Xiaoquan left, he didn't move a finger of these tools
Ma Xiaoquan jumped off the big bluestone, picked up a small shovel and said: "I will move the first time, you will watch first, don't dig indiscriminately, understand?" โ
After speaking, Ma Xiaoquan chose a more potholed place and dug it up.
Ma Xiaoquan dug with a shovel for a while, and then planed twice by hand, during which he secretly buried the dead leaves that had been prepared in advance into the pit.
