Summary of the previous chapter: After a long time of commotion, it turned out that the "Burning of Bowang Slope" in history was caused by Ma Xiaoquan. Ma Xiaoquan also couldn't help but smile. After successfully rescuing Xiahou Dun, Ma Xiaoquan asked Zhang Fei to bring a message to Liu Bei, saying that he wanted to
See Liu Bei. When Liu Bei heard this, he danced happily. After seeing Ma Xiaoquan, Liu Bei took Ma Xiaoquan's hand and asked for help from the Supreme Immortal...
Ma Xiaoquan knew what Liu Bei meant, but he couldn't help but feel a wave of evil in his heart.
Do all men in ancient times like to hold hands?
Because it was a separate conversation, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to wait outside the tent. To show respect, Ma Xiaoquan also arranged for Hua Yuexin to wait outside the tent together.
After entering the tent, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly became very serious and scolded Liu Bei: "Xuande, are you sincere in what you just said?"
Liu Bei seemed to be a different person. He shook his head cautiously and whispered: "Sincerely? Haha... Bei is a down-and-out person now. If he doesn't show his sincerity, can Jingsheng keep me?"
?”
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and thought to himself: What a Liu Bei, I almost let you fool me just now.
The evaluation given to Liu Bei in history was that Liu Bei loved to cry. Ma Xiaoquan thought about it for a long time and came to a conclusion: when a person has no basis and no support, crying can not only vent, but also become a political weapon.
...
Liu Bei is such a person. When he first took refuge with Liu Biao, Liu Bei burst into tears and was very miserable. Otherwise, Liu Biao would not have been moved by Liu Bei and left him. Now, facing Ma Xiaoquan, although Liu Bei did not cry, Ma Xiaoquan looked at him.
His expression was on the verge of tears.
"Okay..." Ma Xiaoquan stopped Liu Bei and said, "Just save some of your horse's urine. I understand what you mean."
Liu Bei rubbed his red eyes and choked with sobs: "Master Shangxian... don't try to trick Bei..."
"Why are you lying to me? You just want a base, right?"
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, Liu Bei was stunned.
Yes, Liu Bei really needs a base area now, a base area that belongs to Liu Bei, a base area that is not dependent on others, and a base area that is not supervised by others.
However, so far, apart from being able to enter and exit a small town called Xinye, he has nothing else, not to mention that the real owner of Xinye is Liu Biao.
Liu Bei fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed heavily to Ma Xiaoquan: "Please help me, Master Shangxian!"
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly: "Why? Why do you think I will help you? You know, I helped Xiao Cao once, ah... that is Cao Cao, he will give me two
Carts of treasures, what about you, Xuande, what can you give me?"
Liu Bei lowered his head and thought hard before remembering: Cao Cao will give money to Master Shangxian after finishing the work. What will I, Liu Bei, do if I don’t have money? Forget it, risk it all, I will give a woman to Master Shangxian...
After thinking about it, Liu Bei cupped his hands and said: "Sir, if you don't mind it, I will give you a beautiful woman."
"Beauty? Can you have a beauty?"
Liu Bei chuckled: "Bei had a concubine in Xiaopei in the past. This concubine was very beautiful..."
Before Ma Xiaoquan finished listening, he interrupted Liu Bei and said, "Wait a minute, are you talking about your Mrs. Gan?"
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment: "How does Master Shangxian know about my wife Ganmei?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said, "Oh, this, I have a clever plan. Do you think I don't know what you want to say or do?"
When Liu Bei heard this, he blushed and said, "If Lord Shangxian doesn't dislike it, I will give my wife Ganmei to Lord Shangxian as a concubine."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed twice but said nothing.
You Liu Bei, I really admire you. For the sake of your own career, you even exchanged your wife. Everyone said you are benevolent and righteous. You are indeed very "benevolent and righteous"...
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and shook his head.
Liu Bei was shocked and said quickly: "Does the Lord Shangxian dislike it? Bei knows that the Lord Shangxian is an immortal and has an immortal body. Gods generally pursue virgins, but Lord Shangxian, I am not willing to..."
"What a fool!" Ma Xiaoquan slapped Liu Bei to the ground before Liu Bei finished speaking.
Ma Xiaoquan scolded: "You are still not a man. A man must have the courage to take on responsibilities and give his woman the best life. You...you actually exchanged your wife? You.
....." Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward angrily and kicked Liu Bei hard, "Based on your ability, I won't help you at all..."
How could Liu Bei give up? He turned over and threw himself in front of Ma Xiaoquan, hugged Ma Xiaoquan's legs and cried: "Master Shangxian, if you don't agree today, Bei will not let go. If Master Shangxian sets fire to death,
Be prepared and never let go!"
Ma Xiaoquan was helpless.
In the more than ten years since the end of the Han Dynasty, I have seen a lot of shameless people like Ma Xiaoquan, but Liu Bei's shamelessness is definitely the first.
Ma Xiaoquan was helpless and angry. The helpless thing was that he taught Liu Bei his shamelessness, and the angry thing was that Liu Bei actually used his wife as a bargaining chip to change his destiny.
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Liu Bei. After all, in this era, there were a lot of political activities. In order to survive for a long time, many noble families would marry their children at home and send women and treasures to make friends with others. Liu Bei was born in this era and lived
Having lived for more than forty years, Liu Bei has already seen through this era, so Liu Bei thinks this is normal.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed, helped Liu Bei up, and advised: "Xuande, I understand your kindness. As for your Mrs. Gan, I don't want her. You know, I already have several
A woman..."
When Liu Bei heard this, he was moved to tears.
Mrs. Gan Meigan is Liu Bei's favorite woman. Ever since Xiaopei married him, this woman has never complained regardless of whether she is poor or not. Although Liu Bei did not correct Mrs. Gan, Liu Bei had already cherished Mrs. Gan in his heart.
As a real wife.
"But, Lord Immortal, do you have any money?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and pulled Liu Bei up: "I don't want your money!"
Liu Bei was surprised and said: "I don't want money, I don't want women, Master Shangxian, what do you want?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "I want a promise from you!"
"promise?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "That's right! If you agree to a promise, you must keep it. Of course, I will not treat you badly!"
Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he said: "Don't say one promise, just ten promises. Bei has promised to the Lord Shangxian!"
"Haha, you don't need so many, just one is enough!"
Liu Bei said respectfully: "I would like to hear the details."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and said, "Actually, it's a little troublesome to do this, but I believe Xuande you will definitely be able to do it... That's it..."
Ma Xiaoquan whispered in Liu Bei's ear for a long time. After Liu Bei listened, he frowned and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Master Shangxian, is this... can this be done?"
Ma Xiaoquan patted his chest: "No problem, just listen to me and do as I do!"
Liu Bei hummed, nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
"Haha... OK, happy, Xuande is also a happy person!"
Liu Bei chuckled, changed the subject, and hit the target while the iron was hot: "Where is Lord Shangxian? Since Bei has agreed to Lord Shangxian, will Lord Shangxian..."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed loudly and said: "Xuande, are you in a hurry? Well, I will give you a trick first... Do you have a counselor named Xu Fu under your account?"
"Xu Fu?"
Ma Xiaoquan changed his words and said: "Oh, Xu Shu, are you there?"
Liu Bei nodded.
"This person is a talented person, but it's a pity that he can't keep him, hey..."
Liu Bei was shocked when he heard that Xu Shu had not been here long, but he had already shown his outstanding strategy. Liu Bei was very happy that he could recruit such a talent, but now he heard Master Shangxian say that Xu Shu would not be able to stay for long.
How embarrassed is this for Liu Bei?
Liu Bei asked Ma Xiaoquan anxiously: "Master Shangxian, why is this?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "It's destiny, don't force it, but if the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come..."
Liu Bei was reluctant and said: "There is a serious shortage of talents under Bei's account. Mr. Xu Shu is very resourceful. It is easy for Bei to obtain such a talent. How can he give up at will?"
Ma Xiaoquan advised: "If I say that Xu Shu is gone and a more powerful person will seek refuge with you, will you be willing?"
Liu Bei was surprised and said: "Does Master Shangxian really mean what he said?"
Ma Xiaoquan guaranteed: "Of course it's true, so Xuande, if Xu Shu leaves, you must be very generous. Of course, you must do a good job even if you don't give up your work to save face."
Liu Bei nodded in agreement and said flatteringly: "Master Shangxian, my Mrs. Gan also has a younger sister, Gan Meimei, who is now twenty-eighty-six years old. This sister-in-law, hehe...please forgive me, Shangxian, Xinye."
Let her see you once..."
Ma Xiaoquan was surprised and asked: "Mrs. Gan has a sister? Why didn't I know?"
Liu Bei explained: "It's like this. My sister, Madam, has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has developed good martial arts skills. He..."
Although Ma Xiaoquan felt a little compassionate, he thought that his eldest wife Hua Yuexin was outside the door, so he quickly refused and said: "I think let it go, otherwise, you let him meet someone, that person is my apprentice.
....."
When Ma Xiaoquan assigned tasks in the past, he sent his subordinate Ding Yi and his apprentice Mao Gang to Jingzhou and asked them to defect to Liu Biao. It has been several years. I wonder how these two people have gotten along?
Ma Xiaoquan really wants to meet Ding Yi and Mao Gang, but the time is not yet ripe.
