Summary of the previous chapter: Murong Ziyan found out that Zi Xiao and Ximen Wuhen were working as laundry in Ma Bing's house, so she persuaded them to join Ma Xiaoquan with him, but they refused. What Murong Ziyan didn't know was
, Ximen Wuhen is already pregnant with Ma Xiaoquan's child... On the other side, Ma Xiaoquan found Le Jin...
Le Jin's idea was very accurate. Ma Xiaoquan's visit to him late at night was indeed a gift to him.
Cao Hong once mentioned Le Jin to Ma Xiaoquan, and Ma Xiaoquan thought that since Le Jin liked money as much as Cao Hong, Le Jin would definitely help him with his request.
The two met each other and exchanged a few simple polite words. Ma Xiaoquan went straight to the point and asked Le Jin for help. Of course, the help was not free of charge, it was paid.
Although Le Jin had no direct dealings with Ma Xiaoquan, he learned from other Cao generals that Lord Shangxian had won several bets from his lord.
Le Jin not only likes money, but also likes gambling, but Le Jin will not lose his ambition by playing with things. This is one of the reasons why Cao Cao is willing to hand over such an important place as Xiangyang to him.
Le Jin asked Ma Xiaoquan, "Since Master Shangxian said he would give me money, I would like to ask Master Shangxian, how much is it?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "I don't know how much it will cost, but I can give 30% of all the money to General Le. I wonder if General Le is willing?"
"Thirty percent?" Le Jin curled his lips slightly, "A little less, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "General Le, you can't be too greedy about some things. You must also know that I am looking for you because of my friendship with Xiao Cao. Otherwise, I can find other noble families to help me.
, presumably at that time, not only will the share be less, but there may even be no need for a penny... If I can give you 30%, you are already the bottom line!"
Le Jin chuckled, waved his hand and said: "Master Shangxian has misunderstood the general. In fact, even if the general helps Master Shangxian in vain, he should still do it. But Master Shangxian also knows that the soldiers..."
Ma Xiaoquan sneered in his heart and stretched out three fingers: "Thirty percent!"
Le Jin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Deal!"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "General Le is indeed a cheerful person, haha... Come, I will discuss it with you..."
It turned out that the purpose of Ma Xiaoquan's search for Le Jin was to borrow his soldiers, and the main location of the attack was the treasure discovered in Tianjue Valley.
Only Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Yun and Ma Yu knew about these treasures, but unfortunately the amount of treasures was too huge. Ma Xiao's family was in Jizhou, and Tianjue Valley was in Jingzhou. It was impossible for Ma Xiaoquan to bring all his family members over to dig for treasures at such a long distance.
After thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan decided to borrow some of Le Jin's soldiers.
Firstly, Cao Cao and Ma Xiaoquan had a good relationship, and Le Jin also agreed to lend troops; secondly, even if he was discovered, he could still use the official banner, which would make it much easier to transport him back.
After hearing Ma Xiaoquan's description, Le Jin was very happy, but at the same time he also felt very regretful.
If I had known, I would have asked for one more point, even if I wanted one more point, it would have been good.
The two of them made up their minds and immediately started making preparations.
In order to win Lord Shangxian's trust, Le Jin pulled out his close associates among the soldiers and sent them to Lord Shangxian for his dispatch. Firstly, these people were more strict-mouthed, and secondly, they could indirectly monitor Lord Shangxian.
Of course Ma Xiaoquan knew what Le Jin was thinking, but he did not reveal it.
Since Le Jin was stationed in Xiangyang and could not leave his post without authorization, he specially appointed a fellow villager to lead the team and went to Tianjue Valley with Master Shangxian.
Le Jin, a fellow countryman, looked very vulgar, especially his squinty eyes, which made Ma Xiaoquan very unhappy.
As the saying goes, wealth should not be revealed. Ma Xiaoquan concluded that if he really started to dig for treasure, it might cause some riots, and the source of the riots was likely to happen to this fellow Lejin. Therefore, after the Lejin Committee sent the man
As a fellow villager, Ma Xiaoquan had already made up his mind to get rid of this fellow villager named Le Jin.
On the way, this man was quite talkative. Ma Xiaoquan learned that his name was Ma Saner, and that he and Lejin were not only fellow villagers, but also came from the same village.
Ma Xiaoquan joked: "Ma San'er, no wonder Le Jin entrusted you with such an important task of digging for treasures. You kid, don't be stunned when digging for treasures?"
Ma San'er smiled and said: "No, no, how dare you, general? I, Ma San'er, will definitely do what the general ordered, hehe..."
While Ma San was speaking, his eyes were squinting slightly. Ma Xiaoquan took a look and sneered in his heart: Ma San'er, your kid's mind is not right anymore.
Ma San'er thought Ma Xiaoquan couldn't tell, but he was actually wrong. Eyes are the windows to the human soul. When a person lies, his eyes will involuntarily squint to one side.
Ma San'er thought he had done a good job, but he didn't know that Ma Xiaoquan, who was formerly a national special forces soldier and is now an extreme soldier, how could he not know about his frivolous nature?
Ma Xiaoquan didn't criticize him, because he also needed a reason, a reason for him to kill Ma San'er.
After calling Ma Yun and Ma Yu over, Ma Xiaoquan gave a few instructions quietly. After hearing this, the two of them looked at each other and stepped back respectfully.
...
Because they were all cavalry, they marched very quickly. As soon as the sky turned white, the troops had already arrived in Tianjue Valley.
Following the direction directed by Ma Xiaoquan, the soldiers came to the cave entrance through all obstacles.
Just as Ma San'er was about to go in first, Ma Xiaoquan stopped him and said: "Be careful, there is a trap inside. If you are not careful, you may die here."
Ma San'er snorted, turned to a soldier behind him and said, "You, go in and take a look!"
All the soldiers present heard Ma Xiaoquan's words. Since there is a trap inside, who is willing to go there and die?
However, you must not disobey your orders.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and advised: "Ma San'er, you are wrong. You know there will be problems, how can you let the soldiers die? I am not talented and have gone in before, so why don't you let me go in and take a look?
I can see it."
At this time, Ma Yun and Ma Yu stepped forward and said respectfully: "Master, let's go in with you. With your magic power to protect us, we will be safe."
Is it possible that Ma Xiaoquan did this: "My magic power is actually only enough to protect one person. I'm afraid it's not enough for the two of you."
Beside him, Ma San'er suddenly said: "Master Shangxian, since you can protect a person, why don't you and I go in?"
Ma Xiaoquan hesitated for a moment and said: "You? Why are you and I going in? The soldiers present will need you to command the treasure hunt soon."
Ma San'er shook his head: "It's okay, I just went in to take a look."
Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be embarrassed: "This..."
Ma San'er said sternly: "Does Master Shangxian want to go back on his word? Then you have to ask the brothers if they are willing?"
"Presumptuous!" Ma Yun and Ma Yu all stepped forward and glared at Ma San'er.
Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand to stop it and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can go in with me! By the way, light a torch! It's going to be bright!"
Ma San'er laughed, took a big torch from one of his subordinates, and nodded to Ma Xiaoquan: "Lead the way, Master Shangxian!"
Ma Yun and Ma Yu were very angry, but seeing their master's calm appearance, the two had no choice but to wait silently at the entrance of the cave.
Ma Xiaoquan was in front and Ma San'er was behind. They stepped into the cave one after the other.
Ma San'er was very alert. He knew what Master Shangxian was capable of, so he held Ma Xiaoquan's arm tightly.
Ma Xiaoquan always smiled and let Ma San'er pull him. The two walked to a mountain wall, Ma Xiaoquan knocked lightly, and then kicked up. There was only a rumble, and the mountain wall collapsed.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of dazzling light shone into Ma San'er's eyes, and Ma San'er danced happily and jumped out of the cave.
"Quick, quick, prepare guys!"
Seeing how happy the boss was, the soldiers took out their weapons and prepared to rush in.
But at this moment, Ma San'er's eyes suddenly froze, and he snorted coldly: "Get those two guys down!"
The soldiers were stunned at first, and then responded quickly, pounced on Ma Yun and Ma Yu from left and right, and held Ma Yun and Ma Yu down.
Ma Yun and Ma Yu did not expect Ma San'er to have such a skill. The two of them were caught off guard. Within a few breaths, they were already pressed hard.
"What are you doing?"
Ma San'er sneered: "Of course I want money and treasure!"
At this time, Ma Xiaoquan emerged from the cave. When he saw Ma San'er, he was also stunned, and then shouted: "Ma San'er, you are so brave! Let go of my men!"
Ma San'er waved his hand and shook his head and said: "Master Shangxian, oh... I'm so scared. I know that I can't beat you, and I can't beat you, but you, two of my closest subordinates...
