Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Yuan and Ma Cheng looked at each other, and the three brothers nodded in unison.
Yes, surviving is the greatest joy, isn't it?
"But..." Ma Mu's eyes shifted to Bei Mingshuang, "Yue'er and Xiaomei are more powerful than I expected. Well, Xiaomei, come in and let's have a good chat.
"
Ma Mu's tone was very calm, but with an irresistible majesty. Bei Mingshuang was stunned for a moment, then she hummed obediently, lowered her head, and got into the carriage submissively.
Ma Xiaoquan and Ma Cheng looked at each other and asked, "Why are you so powerful? That girl from Bei Mingshuang has such a strong temper that I can't even tame her."
Ma Cheng smiled and shook his head and said: "My mother is very capable, my dear, don't think that I am just an ordinary woman. If I am cruel, she will be much more cruel than men like us."
"No way?" Ma Xiaoquan felt incredible and looked at Ma Yuan, hoping that he would refute Ma Cheng's words.
Ma Yuan smiled bitterly, and instead of refuting Ma Cheng, he nodded in agreement and said: "Little fourth son, you grew up in the capital, and you haven't seen many things. During this time, you have been spending time with your mother."
If you get in touch, you will know how powerful my mother is."
Ma Xiaoquan stuck out his tongue. The second brother and the third brother had said so, so he must see what happened.
Just when Ma Xiaoquan was thinking a lot, the carriage door suddenly opened.
Ma Mu jumped out of the carriage, followed by second sister-in-law Qiao Yu and third sister-in-law Shen Jing, then Hua Yue and Bei Mingshuang.
Ma Yuan and Ma Cheng seemed to know what Ma Mu was going to do. They just laughed and made a move that I understood.
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Mother Ma with some surprise, because her expression looked very... this... anyway, it was the kind of expression that was hard to describe.
The horse mother looked around and suddenly ordered: "Light the torch a little, Yuan'er, we came out together, how many people are left?"
Ma Yuan stepped forward and said, "Mom, there are less than twenty people left."
"Less than twenty people?" Ma Mu narrowed her eyes, "Did we lose so much in this battle? What about the betrothal gift I brought?"
Ma Chengdao: "Mom, nearly half of it was destroyed!"
"Damn it!" Ma Mu suddenly swore.
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned. He never expected that Mother Ma would have such a bad temper.
"Quan'er, what do you think?"
Ma Xiaoquan came to his senses and said, "Mom, I haven't thought about it yet."
A trace of love flashed in Ma Mu's eyes, and she immediately said loudly: "Half of the betrothal gifts I prepared for the Beiming Family and the Hua Family were destroyed. If this continues, how will my Ma family get a wife?"
Hua Yue and Bei Mingshuang stepped forward and said in unison: "Mom, in fact, our family doesn't need to hire..."
Before the second daughter could say the word of gift, Mother Ma scolded: "Nonsense, how can this be done? If you don't get the betrothal gift or get less, will you think that my Ma family is poor?"
The two girls were so frightened by the scolding from the horse mother that they quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Ma Mu raised the corner of her mouth slightly and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Quan'er, my mother saw your previous bravery in the carriage. Tell me, did you secretly learn martial arts in the capital?"
Ma Xiaoquan was secretly shocked. In such a chaotic scene before, Ma Mu could notice him, which is enough to prove that either Ma Mu has some doubts about him, or Ma Mu feels that he has made too much progress. In short, Ma Mu should have some doubts about him.
Got suspicious.
No, the horse mother must be dispelled.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and scratched his head, and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Mom, I really can't hide it from you. In fact, when my eldest brother left, the child started to learn martial arts secretly. No one knows about this."
"Well, where did your martial arts master come from?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Master Chen from Dafeng Escort Agency in the capital."
The Dafeng Escort Bureau in the capital is one of the best in the capital. There are several escorts in it who are highly skilled in martial arts and have quite upright character. The Master Chen that Ma Xiaoquan mentioned is one of them.
It was also a coincidence that Ma Xiaoquan once rescued Master Chen's only son because of something. Master Chen was very grateful to Ma Xiaoquan for this, and he and Ma Xiaoquan became friends throughout the year.
Ma Mu thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Let me just say, although your martial arts is not as good as your second brother and third brother, it is very practical. It can be seen that it was taught by the master of the escort agency, so I don't have to do it."
Worried."
Ma Xiaoquan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that his mother did not doubt him too much.
"Mom, what do you mean, my child doesn't understand?"
Ma Mu smiled and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Quan'er, you are the deacon of Jin Yiwei. Tell mother, if someone offends Jin Yiwei, how do you usually respond?"
Ma Mu could use the word "return gift" very seriously. Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes and reacted: "Humph, of course he is trying to find a way to regain his position. How can Jin Yiwei be bullied by outsiders casually?"
"Pa~" Ma Mu clapped her hands and nodded: "Yes, you are right. Jin Yiwei is not bullied, so will my Ma family be bullied too? No, absolutely not~"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and asked: "Mom, you don't want us to counterattack those bandits, do you?"
Ma Mu nodded: "I have such a powerful son, daughter-in-law, and such a powerful guard, shouldn't I?"
"Uh~~"
Ma Mu laughed and ordered: "Yuan'er Cheng'er, mother ordered you to lead the remaining brothers to their old home. Quan'er, you and Xiaomei (Bei Mingshuang) will be responsible for inquiring about the news, eh
, Quan'er, inquiring about information is your strong point as the deacon of Jinyiwei, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said yes.
"Yue'er, you, Jing'er and Qiao Yu just stay with me."
"Yes~"
"Okay, everyone, let's get ready. This time, hum, we are going to be gangsters."
Ma Yuan laughed and said: "Mom, what about the supplies we have left..."
Ma Mu sneered and said, "Let's put it here first. There aren't many people around here, so no one will come to pick it up."
"No way?" Ma Xiaoquan was shocked, "Mom, you don't want to burn the boat, do you?"
Ma Mu smiled and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Quan'er, what do you think?"
"I..." Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and had nothing to say.
...
After Ma Yuan and Ma Cheng finished preparations, they led the remaining ten brothers away. Ma Xiaoquan and Bei Mingshuang also accompanied them and chased the bandits in the direction of retreat.
Walking on the road, Bei Mingshuang said: "I never thought that my mother would be like this... I will retaliate."
