() Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little tense, Guo Sihuai couldn't help but take a step back and put his hand on his waist. In order to show his sincerity, he didn't hold a weapon when he came out, but he had a dagger hidden in his waist.

, now it seems that the negotiation is impossible, he must take action first if he wants to protect himself.

And those sergeants were not vegetarians. As soon as they saw any movement, some of them raised their spears and pointed them at him. The situation was about to break out. Once they really took action, both the enemy and the enemy would be destroyed.

But Ma Yue did not want such an outcome. After he learned about the chaos in Liangzhou, he had already made a proper plan. He wanted to use this opportunity to let his father Ma Teng gain a certain degree of strength, and these fighting abilities

The very good horse thief is the one he wants to win over.

So, seeing the tension between the two sides, he walked out of the crowd and walked up to Guo Sihuai: "I want to talk to you about a few words, please let me in."

"What?" Guo Sihuai was startled, a little surprised by his behavior. Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and other officers and soldiers all changed their colors, and the first two even shouted: "Yue'er (second brother)

)return!"

Seeing the other party's reaction, Guo Sihuai guessed that Ma Yue's behavior was beyond the other party's expectations. At this critical moment of life and death, he decided to take a gamble, grabbed Ma Yue's hand and said: "Yes, but only if

You go in alone!" In this way, he was blocked by Ma Yue's body, and even if the officers and soldiers there wanted to shoot him with bows and crossbows, they were not sure.

"Yue'er, you..." Seeing that his son was handed over to the horse thief like this, Ma Teng was puzzled and angry. But at this point, he could not order any more action, otherwise he would be afraid that Ma Yue

There will be danger.

"Father, I'll go in and talk to them. Don't worry, the child will be fine!" Ma Yue turned to his father and brother and smiled confidently before following Guo Sihuai in.

Ma Chao wanted to follow him at this time, but he was blocked by the soldiers around him: "Major General, you can't go in, it's too dangerous!" It's a joke. He made a big mistake just now by letting Ma Chao pass without warning.

They don't want to make the same mistake twice in a row.

Ma Chao was still about to step forward, but Ma Teng had already come up and stopped him: "Stop! We don't know what's going on inside. Your brother's entry is already very detrimental to us. Do you also want to be their bargaining chip?"

"But father, second brother, it is too dangerous for him to face those horse thieves alone..." Ma Chao said very worriedly.

"Yue'er is not a reckless person. Since he did this, he must have his own thoughts. Maybe he is really sure to end the matter successfully? What we have to do now is to stay here quietly, so that they can't play any tricks.

!" Even though he said that, the worry on Ma Teng's face could not be concealed.

At this time, Ma Yue had no time to think about how worried his relatives were about this. He only thought about one thing, and that was how to persuade these horse thieves. Seeing him thoughtful, yet completely unafraid

Guo Sihuai followed him into the courtyard, and Guo Sihuai's heart was full of doubts, because he really couldn't understand why Ma Yue would risk his life.

"Second Young Master of the Ma family, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." Wang Feng said with a smile after seeing Guo Sihuai return so quickly and bringing Ma Yue back with him.

"Yes, but the difference from that time is that now you have no way out." Ma Yue still knew a little about the previous grudges with the horse thieves, although he had actually changed people.

"Huh?" Wang Feng glanced at Guo Sihuai in confusion. The latter then revealed Ma Teng's attitude outside just now. This made Wang Feng's heart tighten suddenly. He thought that squeezing the Lin family's father and daughter would be enough.

Although he was in an invincible position, he didn't expect Ma Teng to become so stubborn. But then he relaxed again, and now the son standing in front of him was the son of the Ma family, which was no better than the two hostages of the Lin family.

However, he also had a question: "Why did you come in with the fourth child?"

"Because I don't want to see you all die here like this!" Ma Yue said calmly: "The fact that you can travel around Liangzhou without being caught by the government is enough to prove your ability. I am a person who values ​​heroes, so

I don’t want you to end up like this.”

"Ha... value heroes? We are horse thieves called thieves by the government, and you actually call us heroes? Tell me, what conspiracy do you have?" A tall horse thief immediately stepped forward and asked, his eyes full of ridicule.

.

Ma Yue completely ignored the defensive looks of everyone in front of him, and just said calmly: "Do you even think that you are thieves? But as far as I know, everything you have done in these years is not as despicable as the legend says.

Ah. Indeed, you are horse thieves who make a living by robbing passing merchants, but I have never heard of you killing just one person in these years.

"Take the previous robbery of the Lin family as an example. You didn't kill other useless people, but just tied them up. I can really see this. This is not like other horse thieves who only know

It’s just indiscriminate killing. It’s precisely because you have always done something wrong that I came in to talk to you.”

His words made the horse thieves feel a little moved. Although they were thieves, they also had their own principles. Now that Ma Yue had spoken out their principles, it made them feel like they had met a confidant, who was Wang Feng.

and Guo Sihuai, looked at Ma Yue now with a more friendly look.

However, it was impossible to persuade them to surrender with just these few words, so after being slightly distracted, Wang Feng laughed and said: "What you said is really meaningful, but no matter how eloquent you are, don't worry.

You want us to stop here! Go and find out which of our brothers is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Of course I know that you are all heroes who are not afraid of death!" Ma Yue said loudly: "But there is a difference in the severity of death. It may be as heavy as Mount Tai or as light as a feather. I wonder how you want to die?"

"Death has its weight..." This sentence made Wang Feng and others lose their minds again, while Ma Yue continued: "If you all die like this today, you will not even be as light as a feather. Your names

, it will only be an addition to the government's roster, and a certain number of thieves and bandits will be killed in a certain year and month. Is it that all your efforts over the years are just to get this ending?"

Seeing that the horse thieves were obviously moved by his words, Ma Yue became more confident: "But if you are willing to submit to the court today and become a member of our Xiliang army, then you can go to the battlefield again in the future to fight against those who invade our border."

Even if you die in battle against the Qiang and Hu enemies, it will be a good thing that will go down in history. It will be enough to honor your ancestors and let future generations remember you. This is more important than Mount Tai!"

"Submit to the imperial court? Haha, it's too easy for you to say it. We brothers have been fighting with the Liangzhou officials for more than a day or two. Once we hand over our weapons, I'm afraid there will only be one end, and that is to be cut into pieces with random knives! You

If you want to trick us out, you really underestimate our brains." At this time, Wang Feng had already reacted and couldn't help laughing and scolding.

"What, you don't believe me?"

"It's not that I can't trust you, Mr. Ma, but I can't trust people outside. Moreover, you are not a court official at all. Even if what you say is true, I'm afraid you can't represent those outside." Guo Sihuai said to this person who dared to talk to him.

I also developed respect for the boy who spoke like this, so my words became a little more measured.

"Boss, in fact, we don't have to talk nonsense with him here at all. We can escort him and the Lin family father and daughter out directly to see if those officers and soldiers dare to stop us!" The tall man suggested again.

This is indeed a good way to solve the current predicament. Even though Wang Feng and Guo Sihuai were moved in their hearts, they still felt that this was the safest way. Seeing that they were moved, Ma Yue actually laughed: "You really think this is the safest way to solve the current dilemma."

Can you capture me and the two Lin family members and leave safely?"

"What do you mean by that? Aren't you three enough to be our hostages?"

"Of course it's not enough! Do you know why things have developed into the situation today? To tell you the truth, everything I did today was to find you!" When Ma Yue said this, he saw many horse thieves.

Everyone showed a look of surprise, and this was exactly the effect he wanted.

"Do you want to know why we are so sure that you are in Long County? Let me tell you, it is because of the news revealed by the Lin family. The Lin family has already told everything because they are worried that they will be blamed by the court for having contact with you.

So what I can tell you now is that now that the Lin family cannot protect themselves, how can they put pressure on the government to ensure the safety of their family?"

"What about you? You are Ma Teng's son..." The big man couldn't help but add another sentence.

"If I were caught by you, it would indeed be of some use. But the fact is that I came in with you by myself. This happened in front of everyone, and I couldn't hide it even if I wanted to. Do you think the people in the city

How will the prefect and the governor view this matter? If my father lets you go because of me, I am afraid that the charge of collaborating with the enemy will be firmly placed on him. Therefore, for the sake of the safety of my entire Ma family, my father also

It’s impossible to be blackmailed like this.”

The horse thieves were really stunned at this moment. They really didn't expect that in just a few words, Ma Yue gave them a realization. It turned out that everyone had no way out.

"Now you only have two choices left. One is to kill me and the Lin family father and daughter, and then be wiped out by the officers and soldiers who came in. The other is to follow me out. I will guarantee with my life that nothing will happen to you. Those two are the only two options.

Take your pick." After saying this, Ma Yue closed his eyes and said nothing. The horse thieves looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Originally, because I had been begging for votes in the past few days, the shy passerby didn't plan to shout out twice today. But so long after the first update, I found that the collection didn't even go up at all. This made the passers-by know the truth. If you don't shout, there will be nothing.

Results. In desperation, the shy passers-by had no choice but to go up again, shouting during the second update: "Give me some points to collect and count my votes for all you readers!!!"
