December 24, 783, in the evening, the southwest border of Zichuan's house.

Lin Rui was very attentive to send Zichuan Xiu all the way, until the eagle flag of the Zichuan family appeared in front of him.

Before saying goodbye, both of them repeatedly apologized, regretting the unfortunate friction, but also said that this incident was purely an accident and would never affect the long-lasting and deep friendship between the two and the two countries.

In the twilight, he waved goodbye to Lin Rui who was bidding farewell to Yiyi, and said goodbye to the deep territory of the Lin family in the twilight, Zi Chuanxiu suppressed the shock in his heart. Having re-embarked on the territory of his homeland, he felt a sense of security, like a wandering wanderer returning home.

The noise on the border alarmed the border post of the Zichuan family, and seeing Zichuan Xiu being sent over so ceremoniously, the border guards did not dare to slack off. The officer came out and saluted Zichuan Xiu: "Sir, please show your ID." ”

Zi Chuanxiu reached out and groped in his pocket, and suddenly found that it was empty: he jumped up and down just now, and he didn't know where he lost his documents.

"I lost my ID. I'm the commander of the Black Flag Army, Shikawa Xiu. ”

If it weren't for Zi Chuanxiu's calm and calm bearing and the pomp and circumstance of the Lin family's team, the officer might have laughed out loud: "You...... You're not kidding, are you?"

"Naturally not. ”

The officer looked at Zi Chuanxiu vigorously and frowned: "Well, this gentleman, you don't have documents, and we haven't seen the appearance of the commander, which makes us very embarrassed." ”

Zichuan Xiu was stunned: "Aren't there any people you who have seen me here?"

"I'm sorry, but we're all too low in rank to be qualified to meet the Commander directly. ”

"Well, let the governor of your province come here. He should have seen me. ”

The officers and men looked at each other, the governor of the province was the general in charge of tens of thousands of garrisons, and to them he was a terrifying man!

The soldiers gathered around and discussed in a low voice for a while, and finally said to Zichuan Xiu: "My lord, let's report to the superiors first, and let the superiors decide, is this okay?"

"Who is your superior?"

"Our superior is the Warin Border Prevention and Control Department, and then his superior is the Warin Garrison Staff, and then he goes to the provincial governor......"

Zichuan Xiuda frowned, but looking at the trembling appearance of this group of low-level soldiers, he was embarrassed to embarrass them. He nodded, "That's it, what's your name?"

"Xiaguan Oulu, he was the commander of the 11th post of the 1st Branch of the Frontier Branch of the Wallin Province, and his official rank was Xiaoqi. ”

Why is the officer of Xiaoqi only the commander of a sub-post? Zi Chuanxiu was slightly surprised, but did not ask: "Oulu Xiaoqi, do you have anything to eat, bring it over." Also, make my bed, and I'll sleep with you tonight." ”

When the sun was setting, a few soldiers who had gone out to hunt returned, carrying two hares in their hands, and they sat together in a neat group, peeling and skinning and putting them in the pot. Outside the window was a lonely and dark wilderness, with the woods in the distance, and a pile of firewood piled up in the corner of the house for lighting and heating, and the fire was mellow, and more than two dozen border guards sat around to eat.

The meal consisted of simple rice and green vegetables, and most of the hares were left for Shikawa Xiu.

Zi Chuanxiu took a few bites of food, and the rabbit meat had an unpleasant smell because he didn't put ginger, so he asked casually: "You usually eat this? It's not enough to just eat vegetables, and it's not strong to be a soldier without meat, so don't save too much on food." ”

The officer smiled bitterly and said nothing, and one of the soldiers couldn't help but say, "My lord, we grow all the vegetables ourselves." Today, when a guest comes, we deliberately add dishes, and we usually don't have such extravagance. ”

"Is that luxury?" Zi Chuanxiu couldn't help but laugh, he remembered the high-end hotels he had attended in Danya and Dìdū, the banquets and invitations that followed, and the mountains of delicacies and wines that had been poured out to feed the pigs before he could finish eating.

They are pampered and pampered on the ground, and like these border guards, they grow vegetables, hunt, chop wood, and take off their military uniforms, they are no different from the peasants, compared to the extravagance and corruption of those in power, how simple and loyal these young soldiers are, they are the real defenders of the vast territory of the Zichuan family, the unsung heroes.

"It's not right, there's something wrong here!" Zi Chuanxiu suddenly remembered that Pu Xin and Wade had reported to themselves that the food standard for each ordinary soldier in the family army was five silver dollars per month, and the officer was ten silver dollars per month, and the Black Flag Army added fifteen silver dollars per month to the officers and soldiers because of the wealth of the place, which was equivalent to saying that an ordinary soldier could eat twenty silver dollars a month. In addition, the soldiers could also receive ten silver dollars a month from the family, and twenty silver dollars for food and silver, so why not eat such a bad meal?

He asked the soldier, "How much do you get for food each month?"

"Lord Qiyu, I have two silver dollars for food every month. ”

Zi Chuanxiu took a deep breath and asked again: "Then how much money do you receive every month?"

"I get two silver coins a month. ”

"All?"

"Ah, yes, it's all!"

With a bang, Zi Chuanxiu slapped the table angrily, the rice bowl on the table was shaken, and he glared angrily at the officer: "You actually deduct so much! Your heart is too dark!"

Ou Lu hurriedly argued: "My lord, it's none of my business! I didn't deduct anything, I sent all the above to everyone!"

The soldiers also said, "My lord, Commander Oulu is not that kind of person, and his own salary is also deducted. ”

Zichuan Xiu knew that he had wronged a good person, and he asked, "Do you know who deducted your salary?"

Ou Lu Xiaoqi hesitated and whispered, "Xia Guan doesn't know. ”

Zichuan Xiu understood, he didn't know, he didn't dare to say. In front of so many soldiers, Zi Chuanxiu couldn't force him to ask, and nodded: "That's it." It's not too late, let's all go and rest. ”

Lying on the bed, Zichuan Xiu imagined.

Compared with local officials, the treatment of officers is relatively low, and they can only earn some extra money by deducting salaries and falsely reporting soldiers, which has almost become a common practice in the army, and Zichuan Xiu knows that in general, as long as it is not excessive, he will not pursue it.

In normal times, it is customary to deduct 3 to 5 per cent of salaries. But in Wallin, the high-ranking officers actually deducted 90 percent, and squeezed the soldiers to the point of sucking blood and marrow! If it weren't for what he saw with his own eyes, Zi Chuanxiu would never have believed it, and he would have wondered why the local troops hadn't mutinied!

Zichuan Xiu recorded this incident in the rì record: "You must find that moth and clean him up!"

It was thought that a reply would not be received until at least tomorrow, but the movement of the Valin garrison was unexpectedly fast, and at about eleven o'clock in the evening, the sound of carriages and boots was heard outside.

The border guard sentry on duty greeted loudly: "Greetings to the Governor!"

"Well, where is the person?" a deep male voice came in, and Zi Chuanxiu immediately came to his senses, and he heard that he had actually forgotten that the governor of the Valin Province was Ma Wei!

Surrounded by the soldiers holding torches, Ma Wei strode in and looked at Oulu Xiaoqi coldly: "I heard that there is a person pretending to be the commander of Zichuan here?"

Ou Lu Xiaoqi replied tremblingly, "Exactly, he is resting in the room, do you need to go in and see him?"

"Get this liar out of me!"

"Don't bother, I came out on my own. As he spoke, Shikawa Shu opened the door of the inner room and appeared.

Seeing Zichuan Xiu, Ma Wei's mouth opened wide in shock: "Why-"

He immediately came to his senses and saluted dignifiedly: "The commander is well! I don't know if my lord has arrived, I have missed my welcome, please forgive my sins!"

Zi Chuanxiu waved his hand: "Your Excellency Ma Wei doesn't have to be polite. I didn't come to tell you, why are you guilty?"

"Yes, I wonder what instructions your Excellency has for coming to my province, and whether the lower officials can work effectively?"

"I came out casually to relax, and I didn't want to disturb you generals, but because of the loss of my documents, I was detained by the border guards, and I had to alarm you. I'm sorry to disturb your rest. ”

"Just go for a walk?" Ma Wei tilted his head and narrowed his eyes, suspicion passing through his eyes.

Suddenly, he turned around and slapped Ou Lu Xiaoqi violently, and his movements were so fast that Zi Chuanxiu didn't have time to stop him.

"Bastard! fool with no eyes!" Ma Wei slapped him again, and kicked Ou Lu in the chest with a fierce kick and kicked him flying: "Even the Commander dares to detain him! Do you want to rebel? Drag him out and beat him to death, feed the dog!"

The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!" Several people came up and dragged Ou Lu's feet and walked out, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

The officers and soldiers who were watching showed expressions of fear and unbearability on their faces, and some people threw pleading glances at Zichuan Xiu.

It happened so suddenly, Zi Chuanxiu couldn't believe his eyes, he reacted and shouted, "Enough!

"Yes, sir. Ma Wei drank the soldiers: "Stop, retreat!"

He stood by and stood by, his hands pressed straight to the line of his trousers, and he didn't squint - Zi Chuanxiu couldn't believe that he was the same person as the violent face he had been a second ago, he had never seen a face that changed so quickly, his face would turn into a fierce face in the blink of an eye, and before he could come back to his senses, he changed to a submissive look with low eyebrows and ears.

His eyes suddenly collided with Ma Wei's, and at this moment, he clearly saw the suffocating ferocity and violence in the other party's eyes. Zi Chuanxiu shuddered: This guy is an extremely murderous villain!

He slowed down his voice: "Chief Ma Wei, the border guards are also acting according to the regulations, and it is me who is at fault, and I should not have lost my documents." ”

"Yes, the Commander is magnanimous and spares your dog's life, and you don't thank you much?"

There were uneven voices of thanks from all sides, and Zi Chuanxiu remembered something: "Your Excellency Ma Wei, these soldiers are not guilty, but there is a guy who really deserves to be punished severely." ”

"I don't know who this person is, please give me a name, I will slaughter him and feed it to the dogs!"

"Your Excellency Mavi, it's time for you to get a good look at your quartermaster. Just now I had dinner with the border guards, and their food was terrible! Ou Lu, take me to your grain storage place. ”

When the lid of the grain tank was lifted, a strong smell of mold came to my nose. Zi Chuan Xiu said bitterly: "How can such food supply our soldiers!"

Ma Wei yīn calmly ordered left and right: "Immediately arrest the quartermaster and escort him to the Danya Military Justice Department!"

Zi Chuanxiu said approvingly: "Very good. In addition, most of the salaries paid down have also been deducted! Chief Ma Wei, the border guards guard the front line of the country, they are exposed to the rain all year round, and they sleep in the wilderness, we can't treat them harshly!"

"My lord, the lower official understands! The lower official immediately arrested the financial officer! My lord, it's already late at night, so you might as well deal with these trivial matters tomorrow." My lord, how can you rest well in such a humble place after a tiring day, and go to the city of Warin, or there is a villa nearby where you can rest. ”

Zi Chuanxiu was about to agree, but suddenly an inexplicable chill hit, and he changed his mind: "I don't bother you." I had fallen asleep just now, and I was also well rested. ”

Ma Wei invited him very warmly, but Zi Chuanxiu was determined, so he had to give up, lowered his voice and said, "My lord, can you speak alone?"

The relatives walked out obediently, and there were only two people left in the room, Ma Wei said respectfully: "I just came back from Danya yesterday, and I have something to discuss with you, but Pu Xin and His Excellency Wenhe both said that the adults have been unwell recently, but the adults have come to us, which is really unexpected, unexpected......"

Zi Chuanxiu asked bluntly: "What are you going to Danya to find me?"

"My lord, last time you dropped something at my brother's house, my brother asked me to bring it to you. ”

Ma Weise came over with an envelope, Zichuan Xiu snorted, didn't answer, and smiled: "This matter is not urgent." There is still a war going on in the Far East, and I am thousands of miles away here, and it is not easy to do it for a while, as for the money, it is useless, so you should take it, Your Excellency Ma Wei. ”

Zichuan Xiu just shirked, and Ma Wei had to put the money away. He was not embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "In this case, the lower official will help you save this money first! It's late at night, the lower official won't disturb your rest, I wish you a good night, and I will leave!"

"Governor, go well. ”

Ma Wei got into the carriage, and nearly a hundred accompanying cavalry also turned and left, and the convoy gradually moved away in the smoke and dust.

Watching Ma Wei leave, Zi Chuanxiu felt relieved. In his own territory, Ma Wei's temperament is completely different from when he was in Danya.

Compared with Zhi Danya's cautious middle-level officer, Ma Wei just now revealed a taste of unscrupulous arrogance, and his aggressive domineering attitude actually gave Zi Chuanxiu invisible pressure.

"Actually beating someone in front of me?bastard, this kid is really a earth emperor!" Zi Chuanxiu scolded in a low voice.

He turned around, and the soldiers at the border station fell to their knees.

"Why are you doing this!

Ou Lu Xiaoqi stood up with the support of the soldiers, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for saving your life! If it weren't for the help of my lord, I would really die today!"

"Chief Ma Wei's temper is a little short-tempered, but it won't cause death, right? ”

"My lord, in Valin Province, Governor Ma's words are Wang Fa! If it weren't for your presence today, I would really throw him out to feed the dogs!"

"Impossible, right?"

"Really!" the soldiers said in a rambling voice: "Last month, the newly transferred deputy banner of the border prevention and control department, Shao Lunan, did not know how powerful the governor was, and quarreled with the governor, but the governor ordered him to be beaten to death with a stick!"

"Because Governor Ma deducted our salary too much, we used to choose the representative of the soldiers to go to Danya to complain to the corps headquarters, and in the end the representatives were all arrested and beaten to death!"

"Don't talk about us little soldiers, even if the governor of the province is higher than him, Governor Ma Wei will fight as soon as he says it, and he is unceremonious! Last month, because of the dispute between the Ma family and the rental farmers, the provincial governor said a few fair words, and the garrison of Warin rushed into the city on the same day and dragged the governor out of the street and beat him up, as easily as beating a dog!"

Listening to the soldiers complaining bitterly about Ma Wei's bad deeds and atrocities, Zi Chuanxiu was shocked, the Ma family was rampant and domineering in Valin Province to the extreme, and there were some things that even the soldiers unanimously assured him could not believe: "Impossible! The provincial governor and the governor are officials of the same rank -- oh, no, in the southwest province, the governor is one level higher than the governor, how dare Ma Wei do such a thing! It is a capital crime to openly insult his superiors, even if he dares, how dare his subordinates carry out such an order?"

"Your Excellency, do you know the origin of the 35th Infantry Division?"

"An infantry division under the Black Flag Army, is there anything special?"

"My lord, you don't know something! When the family incorporated the mercenaries of the Ma family, I don't know what happened, the mercenaries who were incorporated actually stayed in Wallin as they were, and Ma Wei served as the commander of the division and the governor of the province! The 35th Division is all the desperate henchmen of the Ma family, even if Ma Wei calls for rebellion, they will not hesitate to carry it out, and the entire Wallin Province is covered by the surname Ma!"

Once again, Zichuan Xiu was so surprised that he couldn't speak. The Military Affairs Department incorporated aristocratic private soldiers as regular troops, and Zichuan Xiu was still in the Far East at that time, so he did not know the details, but it has always been an unwritten iron law of the army that in order to avoid the tendency of the army to be localized, the recruited troops cannot be stationed in the mainland.

The Ma family is really powerful, and the mercenaries who were recruited in Valin stayed in Valin, which is equivalent to the family paying the salaries of the mercenaries of the Ma family! In order to achieve this goal, how many upper-level people in the army did the Ma family buy?

Zi Chuanxiu suddenly thought of a thought, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cave: The military affairs department presided over the integration operation from beginning to end, and Ma Wei's flag rank was directly awarded by the military affairs department -- Sterling, was Stirling involved in this matter?

He shook his head vigorously, trying to get those messy thoughts out of his head, looked at Oulu, and asked, "What about you?"

Ou Lu knew what Zi Chuanxiu meant: "My lord, we are not Ma Wei's descendants. Before Ma Wei became the governor, we were the officers and soldiers of the Valin Province, and as soon as Ma Wei became the governor, he dismantled us and sent us to guard the border of the country, and replaced the garrison in the city with his cronies. ”

"Why is he like this?"

"My lord, the mercenaries of the Ma family were originally local villains and hooligans, sāo harassed the people, did all kinds of evil, and the young people did not dare to take care of them, and the common people had to ask our garrison for help, and we fought with them twice for three days, and the feud was very deep. When Ma Wei gains power, he will naturally take revenge on us -- it is a trivial matter for the troops to be dismantled, and Ma Wei often comes down to inspect and find excuses to say that he is incompetent, slack, lazy, and must be severely punished! At the least, he will be beaten to death, and the report is that he died of a violent illness, and no one pays attention to it at all!

A soldier interjected and said: "Everyone can see that in Wallin, they can only wait for death, and many people have found a way to leave, and if they can't be transferred, they will run away even if they become deserters!"

Ou Lu shook his head repeatedly: "It's useless to run away. No matter where you go, as long as the Governor's Mansion of Warin sends a letter of arrest for deserters, the local supervision office will immediately arrest you and escort you back to Warin, and at that time, the crime will be dealt with by military law, and it will really be a dead end! My lord, the life of a soldier is not worth much, and if you die, you will die, I pity the common people of Wallin, the Ma family covers the sky with one hand, and there is no law here! After the adaptation, with the identity of the regular army, the Ma family acts even more arrogantly! The Ma family from all walks of life has to stretch out a hand to go in and extract kickbacks, such a huge family with a net worth of hundreds of millions does not even let go of beggars begging for food, and collects twenty copper plates every day for the renovation of the city's appearance and appearance, if there is no compliance, the Ma family is as simple as killing a dog here!"

What everyone said next, Zi Chuanxiu couldn't listen to it anymore, he remembered Di Lin's words: "The Ma family is a cancer on the body of the country!" His experience of this sentence has never been as profound as it is now.

Di Lin had already told him that the Ma family was the largest gangster group in the western region of the family, but listening to the boring number of murders introduced by Di Lin was very different from directly facing this series of bloody facts, and he personally felt that the Ma family was so arrogant and arrogant!

That subordinate who was obedient and polite in front of him, a courteous suitor in front of Zi Chuanning, and a well-known playboy in the social world, his true face was so ferocious, that he was not inferior to the demons in the Far East - no, he was more vicious than the demons! At least the demons would not disguise themselves, would not use that series of rhetoric to confuse people, and would not know how to use money to buy high-ranking officials!

When a villain steals a high position, it is a disaster for the upright.

He looked at the faces of soldiers and officers one after another, looking at those faces with vegetables in their eyes but still flashing with hope, Zi Chuanxiu's heart was rolling with a burst of heat: they were just some ordinary ordinary officers and soldiers, with low authority, but in the face of those lawless evil forces, even if they were in a high position of leadership, they had to deal with it, but these inconspicuous little people could rather endure pain and torture than go along with it, this is the real courage!

He secretly made up his mind that after returning to Danya, he would solve the problem of the 35th Division. He had already thought of the steps: first transfer Ma Wei from the 35th Division, and then let the 35th Division change its guards, dismantle the major blood exchange, replace a group of middle-level officers, and then replenish the troops from the reserve force -- it is not only Ma Wei who can play tricks, and when it comes to his heart, Zi Chuanxiu will not fall behind at all, and will get rid of the pillar of the Ma family's force quietly, so that Ma Wei will not be able to say anything about his suffering.

"Everyone has been wronged!" Zi Chuanxiu said calmly, "The family will never be indifferent to this qiē that has happened. I assure you: Whoever commits many evils will never end well, and please do not lose confidence in your family!"

Ou Lu said excitedly: "Lord Commander, we are suffering for your words! My lord, we are all veterans, and we have sold our lives for the Zichuan family, we believe that the family will never let people like Ma Wei run rampant for a long time!"

"Shhhhh ”

"Don't worry, my lord! The people in the wilderness here are gone, and no one will hear them. ”

"You have to keep this matter secret. ”

"Please rest assured, we are absolutely tight-lipped!" Ou Lu asked, "My lord, are you going to take action against the Ma family?"

Chuan Xiu smiled. Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and asked Oulu, "What did you just say?"

"I mean, we're absolutely tight-lipped ......"

"No, last sentence!"

"I said that the people outside were gone, and that it was a wilderness outside. ”

Zichuan Xiu slapped his thigh: "That's it!"

Since Ma Wei left, the subconscious who had saved himself many times at the moment of life and death kept telling himself: The crisis was approaching! Ou Lu's words reminded him: "The people outside are gone! The people outside are gone!" - since he knew that he had come to Warin, in this wilderness, how could Ma Wei leave a few jǐng guards to protect himself, this was the most basic etiquette as a subordinate and host, how could he just leave without saying a word?

"If something is abnormal, it's a demon!" muttered Shikawa Xiu.

Ou Lu didn't hear clearly: "My lord, what did you say?"

"Oulu, if the outpost is attacked, which reinforcement will be the closest to it?"

"The second regiment of the 35th Infantry Division, they are the descendants of Governor Mavi. ”

"Are there any troops around that are not under Mavi's command, and is there a gendarmerie unit in Warin?"

Ou Lu shook his head: "No, all the armed forces in the province are under the command of the governor of Ma, and there are no gendarmerie troops stationed in our province - although the few troops of the border prevention and control department are not Ma Wei's cronies, they are also subject to the governor's orders. ”

Zi Chuanxiu muttered: "Sure enough! Ma Wei really covered the sky with one hand!"

"Your Excellency?"

"Oulu, even you can think that I am going to take action against the Ma family, how can Ma Wei sit still and wait for death?"

The soldiers looked at each other, and Oulu said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that Governor Mavi dares to ......?"

"I think he dared. Thinking of Ma Wei's crazy and violent eyes just now, Zi Chuanxiu muttered: "This person can't be estimated by common sense, everyone in the Ma family has a tendency to take risks and self-destruct. The matter of withholding military salaries has been exposed, and instead of sitting back and waiting for death, Ma Wei will definitely choose to fight to the death -- just tonight! Whether we can see the sun tomorrow is still unknown. ”

The soldiers stood up, and Ou Lu said resolutely: "My lord, we will ensure your safety even if we are broken bones, you are the last hope to crush the evil horse family!"

The soldiers shouted in unison: "We will defend your lord to the death!"

"My lord, without further ado, please leave with us immediately! The whole Wallin is the world of the Ma family, and it is too dangerous for you to stay here!"

Zi Chuanxiu groaned for a while, revealing a weird smile: "Don't worry. Ma Wei underestimated me, you know, killing a commander is not an easy matter!"

The attack began in the early hours of the morning. Under the light of the moon, more than 500 katana-swords, armed with large bows, swarmed down the path of the mountain until they reached the flat ground in front of the checkpoint, and the procession spread out to the left and right, surrounding the brightly lit checkpoint from all sides.

"Whew!" a sharp whistle sounded, and the assault began. Suddenly, the sky was full of flying rockets, and countless torches fell on the roof of the checkpoint, burning the thatch on the roof, and the raging fire instantly burst into the sky.

In the darkness, the wolf's eyes glowed green like wolves, and the unsheathed katana glowed a faint blue glow in the darkness. At the checkpoint, hundreds of strongbows had been opened. Tough as wolves and vicious as snakes, the Japanese warriors waited patiently, and as soon as the soldiers at the border post came out to put out the fire, they would be immediately shè into hedgehogs, and the rest would be consumed by the flames.

The ronins sneered fiercely, and the order they received was clear: "Kill, kill everyone in the eleventh outpost, not even a single dog!" and assassinations and attacks were commonplace for the Wokos, and sending so many men and horses against a sentry post with only twenty men was a sabber kill, and they almost heard the screams and cries for help.

But the torches burned half of the roof, and the flames were so high that they could be seen for miles, but no one came out to put out the fire, and the quiet sentry revealed an unfathomable smell, and the pirates showed surprised expressions: What was going on?

On a hill a few miles away, thousands of Zichuan family infantry lined up and waited, and the queue was silent. At the front of the procession, a cloaked general rode quietly on his horse, and this person was none other than Ma Wei, the governor of Valin and the commander of the 35th Infantry Division, who looked at the sky in the distance with an anxious look on his face.

In the darkness of the night, a fire suddenly rose from the horizon, and there was a restless movement in the ranks.

The officer stepped forward and said, "My lord, there is a fire and a call for help at the eleventh frontier station, should we go for reinforcements?"

Ma Wei's face was stiff as if he was wearing a mask, and he said coldly: "Restrain the team and wait for my orders!"

"Yes, sir!"

Mavi dismounted, restlessly walking back and forth. Zichuan Xiu suddenly came to Valin Province incognito, which was completely unexpected. Could it be that the secret business of the Ma family has been exposed? Who leaked it? Who is Jiān fine?

Looking at the firelight in the distance, he sighed: who leaked it, it doesn't matter now. The new commander should have been reduced to charred corpses in that fire, and even if he could escape, Ohtani's men were fierce and fearless madmen, no matter how powerful that Shikawa Shu was, he would not be able to withstand the siege of more than 500 people.

What pains Ma Wei's heart is the price it took to invite these pirates -- what a bunch of insatiable jackals! Usually they have given so many benefits, but at the critical time, they still have to open their mouths, and the pirates are all shameless scum!

But no matter how high the price of the Japanese cole is, Ma Wei can only pay obediently. There is no other reason, the assassination of Zichuan Xiu can only be carried out by them, and it is impossible for their own subordinates to take on this task.

After all, Zichuan Xiu is the commander, a member of the Zichuan family, and after a family leader draws his sword in his hand and reveals his identity loudly, Ma Wei can hardly imagine what it will look like: the situation will turn into a disaster, and a large number of soldiers will defect against him on the spot.

Zi Chuan Xiu is not an ordinary commander, he controls the military power in the Far East, has an inseparable love affair with the next heir Zi Chuan Ning, and has a brotherly relationship with the family's powerful generals Di Lin and Sterling, and his own military talent is outstanding.

Although few contemporaries were aware of this, the Ma family had already seen that no matter from which point of view, Zi Chuanxiu was an extremely powerful person.

It is not in the interests of the Ma family to be the enemy of such a rising and powerful figure, it is very necessary to maintain friendly relations with him, and he has offended him because of his relationship with Zi Chuanning, and this mistake must be remedied.

His eldest brother Ma Qin grovelled to curry favor with him and bribed him with the most beautiful beauty and huge sums of money, precisely for this purpose - phew, what kind of property in the Far East, that is completely an excuse, the Far East is in turmoil, the demons are eyeing it, who will spend a dime for those things, but that idiot really treats those bunch of rags as treasures!

But at the first glance of Danya's meeting with him, Ma Wei knew that all his efforts had failed: the first moment of meeting, the eyes that swept through Zichuan Xiu's eyes were murderous, hateful, and angry, although this qiē was disguised by a gentle smile.

When the most beautiful Dongying beauties under his command were also returned, Ma Wei was desperate. He didn't want to be an enemy of Shikawa Shu, but he had to be his mortal enemy.

A promising young leader, he will inevitably go to the peak of power, and at that time, himself, who was his rival, will surely die a miserable death.

It is not difficult to get rid of Zi Chuanxiu, although he is a first-class master and a senior officer, but the Ma family has a lot of experience in assassination and assassination, poisoning, assassination, poison needles, accidents, endlessly, and it is impossible to prevent it.

In the past few decades, it is not that there have been no masters who have been enemies of the Ma family, but they have all died under the pervasive assassination, and even heavy military ministers like Yun Shanhe are no exception.

Ma Wei is worried about the disaster consequences brought about by killing Zichuan Xiu! After all, Zichuan Xiu is a commander, a senior general of the army, not to mention the official investigation of the Zichuan family, Di Lin alone is very terrifying.

On the day that Zi Chuan Xiu went to the southwest to take office, Di Lin secretly summoned Ma Qin, and he coldly declared: "Even if Zi Chuan Xiu loses a single hair in the southwest, your Ma family will be responsible! You had better bless Commander Zi Chuan not to have any colds and coughs, otherwise you will all have to accompany him to be buried!" -- No one dared to doubt the truth of Di Lin's intimidation, but in front of him was the Shura King who killed 30,000 innocent civilians in one night! Legal restraint did not exist for him at all.

And when he learned that Zi Chuan Xiu had come to Valin alone and secretly, Ma Wei couldn't hold back his ecstasy: This is really a godsend! The headquarters of the Black Flag Army openly announced that the commander was recuperating in Danya, and no one knew that Zi Chuan Xiu was killed in Valin--the new commander ran away and disappeared mysteriously, even if King Shura was unreasonable, there was no reason to retaliate against the Ma family, right?

Coming out of the border guards, Ma Wei went non-stop to visit Ohtani, the leader of the Japanese who had been in contact with him, and hired him to attack the eleventh outpost - even for his own accomplices, Ma Wei kept things secret, he did not reveal that the commander of the Black Flag Army was in this outpost, but only demanded that everyone in this outpost be killed - no one who knew that Shikawa Shu had been to Valin would not be allowed to live!

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the sound of fighting and dying screams were faintly heard in the wind, and the soldiers gathered to listen attentively, and many of them showed anxious expressions: they did not understand why they were standing still here.
