Foreign merchants are the top priority of the banquet!

As soon as they saw Yue Guanchao and them coming, the villagers immediately put down the wine glasses in their hands and pushed and pulled Yue Guanchao and them to the table.

Take turns toasting and singing ballads.

Even if they don't like to get drunk, they will inevitably get drunk under the warm hospitality of the villagers, and when the time comes, they will stagger back to the Ge family's old house.

"Brother, is this snowing?"

Yue Erpao was staggering towards the courtyard, his forehead was cold, and he carefully observed it with the help of a kerosene lamp, and the snowflakes in his palms quickly melted and disappeared and turned into water droplets.

"Snow? No way. ”

Song Siyuan stretched out her hand to support it in the air, and after a while, a snowflake the size of a soybean fell.

"Geda, is this normal?"

Gorda looked at the sky, his happy expression became serious, and he looked back at the crowd:

"There will be no snow at this time, is this winter going to be advanced? Burn enough firewood tonight and wait for tomorrow morning. ”

As he spoke, the snow particles changed from soybeans to broad beans, and finally turned into goose feathers and snow, and it took only an hour to dye the inner and outer courtyards white.

In the wing room, Yue Guanchao split a large pile of firewood, which burned the room so hot that the window glass was sweaty, even if he was wearing a thin coat, it was not cold at all.

The copper stove is hot, and the stove is surging.

Everyone sat around the stove, the baked noodles were hot and sweaty, Yue Guanchao looked at everyone, and said slowly:

"Ma Chang, I visited the court at night that night, and you were the man in black who was saved, right?"

He thought about it for a long time, he should still open the skylight and say something bright, and his words made Yue Erpao and Song Siyuan confused.

Ma Chang was stunned for a long time, knowing that he couldn't deceive him, so he nodded and acquiesced.

"What do you mean, you've seen it for a long time?"

Ma Chang's performance completely attracted Song Siyuan's curiosity, and she recalled the day she visited the court at night, and then she suddenly realized:

"That day, you really didn't return, and said that many people died from the dark arrow, so it turned out that you saved one."

Yue Guanchao looked at everyone and told them his inner judgment:

"Yes, when I rescued him, I smelled a sour smell of vinegar, and I wasn't sure it was him at first, so I crawled outside the small courtyard where the jugglers lived, and I was sure that he was that person."

Up to now, Ma Chang has been rescued by Yue Guanchao twice, for him, Yue Guanchao is his great benefactor, and he has no intention of hiding these people, looking at everyone, he clasped his fists and saluted:

"Engong, I am indeed the man in black, those people know that I am good at fists and feet, and they want to coerce me to visit the court at night, but I didn't want the court to be heavily guarded, if it weren't for you, I would have been killed by a dark arrow, and now I have been saved twice by you, from now on, my life is your life, and there is no way to repay the grass knot."

"That's not it, I want to ask you, what will you do in the future?"

Yue Guanchao's words made Ma Chang sigh:

"Now, the juggling team has long since died, the Yin Silk gang has been completely wiped out, and the world is so big that there is no place for me."

"Why don't you follow us!"

Yue Guanchao's words made Ma Chang's eyes light up, and let him look at everyone:

"Why? What does Eun Gong want me to do? ”

"Bodyguard!"

Yue Guanchao's categorical words made Ma Chang's eyes even more puzzled:

"As far as I can see, Engong's skills are far above everyone else, and you can completely protect them, why do you need me to be a bodyguard?"

"Those thugs are spies left by the people who hired us to do things, they are not my own people, I need my own people to watch them, to prevent them from doing bad things!"

Yue Guanchao understands that the cat master does not distinguish between black and white, Ge Da is enthusiastic and open-minded, not to mention the two of them for the time being, but the other four guards are real threats, they are the people sent by Chao Wenshun to monitor him, and he needs more of his own people.

As soon as he hinted at this, Ma Chang immediately understood the truth:

"Understand, you are forced to do things, don't worry, I will keep an eye on them."

"In this way, Engong can rest assured."

Song Siyuan saw that Ma Chang agreed, and pulled Yue Guanchao to the east chamber: "Are you sure you want to take Ma Chang to rob the tomb?" ”

Yue Guanchao lowered his voice and approached Song Siyuan's ear:

"Otherwise, Ma Chang estimates that he has followed the lame Liu to the rivers and lakes since he was ten years old, and his ears and eyes are stained, and the people who are close to the ink are black, and the rivers and lakes he has seen are much more vicious than ours, and he can still maintain such a heart after experiencing the dirt and mud, and his nature is not bad."

"Moreover, horses often shrink their bones into inches, such a person is a good hand at drilling thieves' holes, and it is also this advantage, even Yin Tiezi is reluctant to kill him, which shows that he is indeed useful."

"Pushing people out or turning them into their own people, if it were me, I would definitely turn him into my own people, even if it was against the nursing home, I would have a chance to win."

Song Siyuan was convinced by these words, but she still had some questions:

"Ma Chang seems to be very reluctant to rob tombs, what if he doesn't want to go down!"

Yue Guanchao looked at Song Siyuan, and his eyes became extremely chicken thief:

"Ma often hates tomb robbing, because he is forced, if it is to repay the favor, he will definitely be willing to go down, people who go to the rivers and lakes value revenge the most."

After weighing the two sides, Song Siyuan clarified the pros and cons, and decided to follow Yue Guanchao's idea and accept Ma Chang.

A few people chatted a few more words, and then turned off the lights and dreamed of yellow sorghum on the kang.
