Chapter 101: Spies

Outside Youzhou City, not only did Talatanya set up spies, but the current guards of Youzhou City were still managed by Ma Xiaotian's troops, and naturally the movements in and out of the city could not escape the sense of smell of his spies.

Talatoya's spies pretended to be beggars and appeared inside and outside Youzhou City, Ma Xiaotian's people had already quietly arranged a secret post in their private mansion in the city, and Ma Xiaotian's secret guard had also quietly followed the secret post set up by Talatoya's group.

Usually Ma Xiaotian lives in the barracks, and will not go into the city to live at all, since Tang Haitang was sent out of the barracks that day and let her live in the Ma Mansion, Ma Xiaotian and Qian Kun have analyzed the purpose of the Talatanya group, this group of people has not been able to successfully capture him before, and they will definitely wait for an opportunity near his private house in Youzhou City, Tang Haitang and Qian Yingying If they live in the Ma Mansion, it will undoubtedly create an opportunity for the enemy to sneak attack Ma Xiaotian's relatives, once they plundered Tang Haitang, they will use this to blackmail him.

Therefore, Ma Xiaotian and Qian Kun thought that Tang Haitang and the others lived in Mafu, undoubtedly putting a bait line for each other, but they could lure out the enemies hiding in the shadows. It's just that in this way, Tang Haitang and Qian Yingying will be more dangerous, so he specially went back and instructed Tang Haitang not to go out and hang out if he has nothing to do, in addition, his appearance is also to confuse the enemy, so that the enemy is interested in the people living in his mansion, and there will definitely be a chance to attract them and achieve the effect of luring the snake out of the hole.

But after a thousand calculations, he didn't expect that his sister Ma Furong didn't listen to dissuasion when things were about to develop to a critical moment, and ran all the way from Chang'an to Youzhou City, which was not in his plan, and he was a little surprised.

Ma Xiaotian is not at ease about Ma Furong's call, their brother and sister have been dependent on each other for so many years, he knows what his sister's temper is, although Ma Furong is gentle and virtuous, she will not do anything out of the ordinary, but she can't really be obedient to Tang Haitang, because Ma Furong has always believed that the culprit who caused her mother's early death is the Tang family. Her resentment towards the Tang family will inevitably anger Tang Haitang.

At the beginning, the father passed away, the Tang family sent someone to mourn, the arrogant Tang Shaoqing, deliberately belittled the Ma family, saying that the marriage contract between the Ma family and the Tang family was attached to the Tang family, these words angered Mrs. Ma, the resolute Mrs. Ma, who had just lost the pillar of the family and had not been relieved from the grief, and was humiliated by a junior, and was annoyed and angry, Mrs. Ma personally wrote a letter to the Tang family, asking for the annulment of the family affairs, and the originally harmonious relationship between the Tang family and the Ma family was terminated.

Since Mrs. Ma finished the funeral of the old man, her heart has accumulated into a disease, and she can't afford to get sick, and finally she died soon after being depressed, Ma Xiaotian and Ma Furong have no father and mother in this world since then, and the brother and sister depend on each other.

Ma Furong has a lot of resentment towards the Tang family since her mother passed away, Ma Xiaotian agreed to Tang Shaoqing's request to take the initiative to come and marry Tang Haitang in order to take revenge on the Tang family, and agreed to marry Tang Haitang again.

At that time, Ma Xiaotian was already in Youzhou, and after receiving the letter from home, in addition to feeling guilty about his wrong decision and worrying and regretful about Tang Haitang's life safety, he was also glad that he did not really marry her because of revenge against the Tang family, and he was also afraid that Tang Haitang would enter the Ma Mansion, and Ma Furong would vent her hatred for the Tang family on Tang Haitang. The grievances between the two families should not continue to be wrong.

This time Tang Haitang Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they ran to Youzhou City without dying, God gave her another chance to let her appear in Ma Xiaotian's life, Ma Xiaotian has always believed that his fate with Tang Haitang should be destined by heaven in the dark, he has to admit that he is a little tempted by Tang Haitang, he wants to protect her well, and he does not want Tang Haitang to be wronged and hurt at all.

Therefore, when he heard that Ma Furong came to Youzhou, he knew that the purpose of Ma Furong should not be as simple as sending someone over to serve Tang Haitang, his sister is gentle and lovely on the surface, but in fact she hates it, and she has good means.

For Ma Furong's two-sided characteristics, Ma Xiaotian has actually been aware of it, but his father died early, since his father and mother left, his sister's personality has been perverse, for a sister of his own, he has a trace of unbearable for her, pity her because of the early death of her parents, and her personality is distorted, he is reluctant to say too much, as long as she doesn't do anything out of line, she is blind to it, but fortunately, Ma Furong is in Mafu, and the subordinates under her are still more tolerant and generous, and she is not too harsh on her subordinates, so for so many years, Ma Furong handled the housework, and Ma Xiaotian still handed it over to her with confidence.

Late at night, in the general's tent in the barracks, Ma Xiaotian had not yet gone to bed, he was waiting for the spies' reply.

Every day, the spies sent out come back after dinner, but today it is past dinner time, which is a bit abnormal.

Ma Xiaotian sat patiently in his chair, thinking of several reasons that might make the spies return late, and he felt that the most likely thing was the news that he brought back tonight, and it must be good news for them. He continued to wait patiently, and when he was done with his official duties, he picked up the brush with a rare look, tapped the tip of the pen on the paper in front of him, and drew it very smoothly.

On the moon on the willow tops, the barracks were getting quieter and quieter, and the soldiers had already entered their dreams, and at this time, the spies hurried back.

"Report, General, spy report!" Suddenly, the doctor's loud voice sounded outside the tent, and in the silence of the barracks, it was slightly abrupt.

"Come in." Ma Xiaotian, who was painting in the tent, was not disturbed at all, and calmly ordered the people outside to come in, and the comparison in his hand was still lightly depicted on the canvas, and the rare Yaxing was not affected at all.

The curtain was opened, and a woodcutter in gray cloth came in, this woodcutter was dressed in ordinary clothes, wearing badly worn straw sandals under his feet, and the cloth clothes on his body were also scratched in many places.

The woodcutter has a beard, he can't tell the exact age, although he is dressed in rags, but his eyes are extraordinarily energetic, shining with a shimmering light, he looks like an extraordinary martial arts practitioner, which is completely inconsistent with his outfit.
