Chapter 80: The Story of Ma Xiang

Xin Yue left Xu Chu and Guo Jia to guard Ma Xiang's men who had been unarmoured, and led more than 20 people to take Ma Xiang to explore the village in his mouth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

On the official road......

"Are you sure you can enter the cottage without attracting the attention of the people in the cottage?" Xin Yue tilted his head and asked a short young man behind him.

The young man who was questioned by Xin Yue was short, with a somewhat smart mind, but a little stupid, and he was the fellow of Ma Xiang who followed Ma Xiang. Hearing Xin Yue's question, he immediately nodded and said: "My lord, that trail was accidentally discovered when we were usually on a mountain patrol mission, and it was originally surrounded by steep mountain cliffs, but I didn't expect that a smooth path happened to be formed in these cliffs, and few people in the cottage knew about it." ā€

"Yes, my lord, this kid is a bit stupid and can't lie." Ma Xiang, who was behind, stepped forward and said that his life was in the hands of others, and he was afraid that Xin Yue would not believe it, and his head would move in the next moment, so he could only try to make Xin Yue believe in himself, and he did not forget to glare at the short young man after speaking: You didn't even tell me when you found such a trail?

The short young man shrank his head and did not dare to speak.

Xin Yue looked at the expressions of the two of them, they shouldn't be lying, so he raised his hand and ordered: "Everyone speed up and try to get there before dark."

……

Under a steep cliff, Xin Yue and others gathered here, Xin Yue looked at the people in front of him, and ordered: "Wu Er (Wu Chang), Wang San (Wu Chang), you two lead your team to follow me, and the rest are here to meet us." Then he looked at Ma Xiang and the short young man: "Ma Xiang, Li Er (young man's name), you two lead the way." ā€

The reason why Xin Yue wanted to go this time was not to be greedy for money in the village, but to investigate the composition of these cottages. You must know that there are countless such copycat bandits in various states today, most of them are composed of ordinary people, they just can't survive and want to survive.

Xin Yue now wants to quickly form a force, and population is a weakness, so he wants to find an exit from these people. After all, most of these fallen men are strong men, and as long as they can be subdued and trained, they can definitely become good soldiers. Didn't Cao Cao recruit millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans at the beginning, and then form the famous Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao in the future? And the origin of those Qingzhou soldiers, in fact, most of them are these people who have fallen into the grass, but they are bigger in scale.

Walking along the path in the rugged and steep mountain cliff, Xin Yue couldn't help but sigh, if there was no one to lead him, who would have thought that there would be such a sheep intestine trail in such a steep mountain cliff. Xin Yue can also pay attention to the trail, it is indeed a trace of no one walking, so that he can rule out the possibility that Ma Xiang is luring him to come.

"Ouch!" Suddenly, the horse who was walking in front screamed in pain.

"What's wrong?" Xin Yue stepped forward and asked.

"My lord, Brother Ma was slipped because he didn't hold it steady because of his hand injury."

Xin Yue saw that there were indeed traces of slipping on the ground, but although this was the case, Xin Yue found that although Ma Xiang couldn't use his strength, he was also supported by someone, and as long as he didn't step on the lubricated moss on the ground, he shouldn't be slipped here.

After thinking about it for a while, Xin Yue understood that this kid Ma Xiang was playing a trick! He deliberately broke his foot, but the injury was not serious, he thought that Xin Yue would definitely not let him continue to go up the mountain, because the front was even steeper, and if he was left behind, he might be able to find a chance to escape.

"Oh!" Xin Yue responded lightly, and then asked Ma Xiang, "Can you still go?" ā€

"My lord, the villain is guilty, I didn't expect to fall down here, delaying the adult's big thing!" Ma Xiang snorted and cried, I don't know how much he regrets it at the moment!

But Xin Yue had already seen his intentions, but he didn't expose it, and he continued to ask lightly: "Then what should I do, why don't we go back together, we can't get in touch with the people who guard the property without you!" ā€

"Don't, sir." Hearing that Xin Yue was going to give up, Ma Xiang couldn't help but say anxiously: "If you miss tonight's opportunity, it will be difficult to steal the cottage's finances in the future, and I have a way to let the person who guards the property cooperate with us without me coming forward!" ā€

"Oh?" Xin Yue couldn't help but be curious, no wonder he was sure that he was going to use this trick to escape, and he thought about it.

I saw Ma Xiang gritted his teeth and said: "The person who guards the property can be regarded as my cousin, once we conspired together to steal the property of the cottage and then escape, but there has been no chance, if you take my token to inform him, saying that you are the helper I found, he will definitely cooperate with you, because this matter is only known to the two of us, and I heard that he stole the property is to go home to treat the sick old mother in bed, some time ago I received news that his old mother's condition has become more and more serious, He will definitely not let go of such an opportunity today. ā€

Ma Xiang's words made Xin Yue dumbfounded, I didn't expect this guy to have the idea of stealing property for a long time, but his cousin is for the family, and what about him? Thinking of this, Xin Yue couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to steal the cottage property?" You are also a small boss in this cottage, not to mention glory and wealth, at least you don't have to worry about not being full, right? ā€œ

Hearing Xin Yue's inquiry, Ma Xiang looked painful and resentful, "I originally had a wife and children in my family, but due to the bullying of the big Zhang family bullies in the village, the old and young in the family were forced to die together. Speaking of this, Ma Xiang's tears couldn't help but flow "whoosh", and after a while, Ma Xiang wiped his tears again and said: "I swore that I must slash the bullies of the Zhang family, but I didn't expect that later I originally wanted to follow the Yellow Turban Army uprising to get a status, and then I could take people to take revenge, but I didn't expect that in the end, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated by officers and soldiers, and then became the small leader of this cottage." But the revenge has not been avenged, and the leader of the cottage is not much better than the enemy bully, he just uses us as his tools, robbing property for him, but there is a group of strong people around him, and most of the people in the village are deceived by him, and we insiders are powerless to resist. Then I thought that I had stolen my belongings, and I went back and used them to ask someone to avenge me......"

Xin Yue was really stunned at this time, but he didn't expect that Ma Xiang, who seemed a little wrong, would have such a story.

"Woo woo...... the short young man Li Er was already so moved that he pounced on Ma Xiang, "Why didn't you tell us?" When you left the village without saying goodbye, we thought you were going outside to make a living, and then we met you again, and we heard that Brother Ma's family was gone, and we thought it was due to some accident that had happened in the past few years, and then it was inconvenient to ask, so we didn't ask Brother Ma about you. I didn't expect Brother Ma's family to be so wronged in the village, woo...... If only we had known, we would have helped you! ā€

"I ...... I don't want to involve everyone, at least everyone can still have food and clothing in this village. Ma Xiang looked ashamed.

"Woo...... But, but, Brother Ma, do you know? The Zhang family in the village was killed during the Yellow Turban Army uprising last year, and we people also came out of the village at that time! As he spoke, he couldn't hold back his tears.

Ma Xiang was stunned, "What? He's dead? Already dead? ā€

"Yes! We all saw that several corpses of the Zhang family were cut into several pieces! Li Er said with a "whin".

"It's dead, hahaha, heaven is evil, can't live, can't live!" Ma Xiang suddenly burst out laughing. Xin Yue and the others stood aside and didn't speak, at this time, it was difficult for anyone to say anything.

After a while, Ma Xiang turned his head to look at Xin Yue, and said seriously: "My lord, I deliberately wanted to escape just now. ā€

Xin Yue didn't show surprise, but looked at Ma Xiang and said, "What? Don't want to run now? ā€

For Xin Yue did not show an unexpected look, Ma Xiang was not surprised, he had the intention of being seen through when he thought of this plan, it seems that Xin Yue had already seen his plan, shook his head helplessly in his heart, and then continued: "Don't run away, all along, I have been surviving, and even when I joined the Yellow Turban Soldiers, I ran away to hide for my life, in order to be able to return to my hometown one day to take revenge, but I didn't expect God to arrange it like this, the enemy is already dead, hahaha, And it was killed by my fellow Yellow Turban Soldier who was also with me, maybe God saw me pitiful and helped me avenge it! Now that the big feud has been wrapped, I don't have anything to be nostalgic for, and the property in the cottage will be obtained by the adults if they want me, but I have a request, I don't know if the adults can agree? ā€

"Oh?" Xin Yue became interested all of a sudden, Ma Xiang was originally classified by Xin Yue in the kind of people who were a little evil, but now it seems that he is still a little blindsided, not every wicked person is originally a wicked person, in this era, the wicked are also forced! However, Xin Yue was a little interested in Ma Xiang's request, I don't know what other requests he would have at this time?
