As the saying goes, the cavalry soldiers who came to this position to plan this matter naturally wanted to go further and even go to the imperial capital to serve as officials one day.
"Okay, don't cry. I understand what you are thinking. If you have the chance, work hard on your own. Don't always think about relying on me. Do you understand?"
Ma Xiaoquan revealed Ma Bing's thoughts with one sentence. When Ma Bing saw this, he couldn't keep pretending, so he had to wipe the cat urine on his face and laughed dryly.
After getting on his horse and arranging Ling'er and other female family members, Ma Xiaoquan led the convoy and set off for Yecheng immediately.
Looking at Ma Xiaoquan's group of people walking away, Ma Bing sighed deeply. In a corner not far from Ma Bing, two women with cloths wrapped around their heads were hiding. One of them had a big belly, and the other
One should be taller.
"He's gone! Maybe he will never come back! Wuhen, why are you doing this?"
The woman with a big belly shook her head and said: "I am Ximen Wuhen, and I will never hate him for the rest of my life! Sister Zixiao, don't worry, my little Hao'er will grow up happily, okay!"
"What will the child do when he grows up? What if he asks about his father?"
Ximen Wuhen sighed: "I will tell him his father's name, but I won't tell him where his father is!"
"Okay, okay, let's go. If it takes a long time, it will attract people's attention."
Ximen Wuhen nodded and whispered: "Sister, do you want to tell him that Mao Gang is a bad person?"
Zi Xiao hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "No need, he will find out about this kind of thing one day."
...
With a large group of people, goods and treasures, Ma Xiaoquan could only choose the official road. Firstly, the official road was spacious, and secondly, it was much safer.
However, there are always some desperadoes who are not afraid of the law. Besides, these are troubled times. In troubled times, public order must be disrupted first. It is okay within the surrounding area radiated by Xiangyang City. As soon as they leave the area, bandits will appear immediately.
When Ma Xiaoquan set out, he brought enough food, wages and guards. The average bandit group only had a dozen or twenty people at most. In Ma Xiaoquan's eyes, such a small number of people were completely targets of being tortured and killed. Therefore, in most cases, Ma Xiaoquan
Xiao Quan would not take action without authorization, but handed over the guarding task to his disciple Mao Gang.
After these years of experience, Mao Gang was indeed able to take charge as Ma Xiaoquan expected. Not only did he manage the newly formed escort team in an orderly manner, he even managed some details that Ma Xiaoquan did not notice.
Mao Gang has been taken into account.
"Ah" Ma Xiaoquan yawned, got into the carriage happily, hugged Ling'er, and kissed her unceremoniously.
Ling'er's face turned red instantly, but she didn't resist. She just rolled her eyes at Ma Xiaoquan and said angrily: "I hate it so much. Why are you so busy?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "Isn't this what you are doing!"
"If you, a grown man, don't go out to protect us, why are you in the car?"
Ma Xiaoquan said proudly: "I have my disciple Mao Gang, so I can rest easy."
"snort!"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Wife Ling'er, do you want to hear a story? I'll tell you a few stories, okay?"
Women all love gossip, so women all love to listen to stories, especially stories told by their beloved men, not to mention them.
When her husband wanted to tell a story, Ling'er woke up Murong Ziyan who had fallen asleep and called the newly married Dongfang sisters into the carriage. The five women formed a circle around Ma Xiaoquan and listened quietly.
.
Ma Xiaoquan bared his teeth at the girls and said slowly: "Once upon a time, there was a mountain..."
"Huh?" Ling'er wrinkled when she heard Xiumei, "Why is it this story again?"
"Don't worry, I haven't started speaking yet..."
...
Outside the carriage, the two young grooms, Ma Yun and Ma Yu, were riding their horses depressedly. They felt indescribably aggrieved. They had just managed to seize the time and wanted to take the opportunity to be intimate with their wives. Unexpectedly, Mistress Ling'er rushed in. Alas,
Everything that shouldn't be seen was seen. When Mistress Ling'er left, she even said: Oh, your master without you...
this......
Ma Yun and Ma Yu looked at each other, with infinite sadness in their hearts...
Mao Gang rode forward, looked at the two of them, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ma Yu curled her lips and said, "Hey, forget it, it's really tragic..."
Ma Yun said: "Young Master, we wanted to have sex with our wives, but Mistress Ling'er took the ladies to listen to the story. Young Master, can you please help us? It's so uncomfortable!"
Mao Gang laughed when he heard this and said: "Oh, I can't help you with this matter. If it doesn't work, you should just brush the broom yourself!" Ahem, Xiao Jue interjected, ancient brushing the broom
It means masturbating. When the two men heard this, they said in unison: "We can't!"
Mao Gang: "...Okay, you win, I don't care about you anymore!" After that, Mao Gang drove his horse away helplessly.
Ma Yun and Ma Yu looked at each other again and shouted in unison: "It's not fair."
Just when the two were depressed, there was a sudden explosion on both sides of the road, followed by a burst of white smoke.
Mao Gang snorted coldly and immediately ordered the guards to retreat and huddle beside the carriage. At the same time, he ordered Ma Yun and Ma Yu to protect his master, his wife and other female relatives.
Ma Yun and Ma Yu were young and energetic, and they were worried that they had no place to vent their worries. When they saw something happened, the two of them instantly ignited the anger in their hearts. They drew their sabers with two clanging sounds, and there were guards on both sides of the carriage.
Ma Xiaoquan stuck his head out, yawned and asked, "Mao Gang, what's going on?"
Mao Gangce immediately stepped forward and said: "Master, it's a thief again!"
Ma Xiaoquan smacked his lips: "You handle this!" After Ma Xiaoquan said this, he retracted his head back to the carriage and continued to chat and laugh with the ladies and family members in the carriage.
Mao Gang raised his head and looked at the white smoke in front of his eyes, and thought to himself: I'm really angry, you little thieves, it's just the damn right time...
After thinking about it, Mao Gang ordered his guards to shoot arrows into the white smoke.
According to Mao Gang's thinking, the thieves in the past were just looking for money. If they found that they were not opponents, the thieves would definitely run away. However, when the arrow was fired, Mao Gang immediately noticed something was wrong.
The tinkling sounds kept ringing in the white smoke. It didn't sound like a thief was escaping, but...
"No!" Mao Gang's heart tightened and he immediately shouted, "Hurry up and hide under the carriage, quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless cold arrows shot out from the white smoke.
Some of the guards did not evade in time and instantly became hedgehogs, while those who were lucky enough to be close to the carriage hid under the carriage and survived.
Mao Gang moved and touched his mount distressedly.
In order to save his life, Mao Gang had to hide behind his mount. The poor mount turned into a hedgehog on the other side.
At this time, Ma Xiaoquan, who was nestled in the carriage, suddenly jumped out and rushed toward the white smoke at lightning speed.
Seeing the green flames igniting on his master's body, Mao Gang exhaled heavily.
Mao Gang couldn't see clearly what was happening in the white smoke, but he could hear the screams clearly.
After half a stick of incense, Master Ma Xiaoquan stood in front of him covered in blood, spat out blood and cursed: "Damn, these are not thieves, they are rebels! Damn it, it's so difficult to deal with this difficulty!"
"
Mao Gang was startled, and quickly went up to support his master and asked, "Master, are there any wounds on your body?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "It's okay. I'll ask Mistress Ling'er for me two eggs. After eating the eggs, my injury will be healed!"
"Huh?" Mao Gang raised his eyebrows and asked again, "Master, can't the wounds on your body heal automatically? Why do you still need eggs?"
Ma Xiaoquan felt that there was no need to hide his secrets from his apprentice, so he said: "Oh, no, no, after my master was injured, he needed to eat a few boiled eggs to heal!"
When Mao Gang heard this, he was overjoyed and said: Finally, I finally discovered his secret, haha... In this way, I... I will definitely...
Mao Gang suddenly became short of breath. Ma Xiaoquan looked at it curiously and waved his hand in front of Mao Gang: "Mao Gang, why are you in a daze? Go quickly!"
Mao Gang came to his senses, responded repeatedly, laughed and ran towards the carriage that Ling'er was riding.
