Summary of the previous chapter: I captured Dai Zheng and learned some things from Dai Zheng...
Li Qinghan shook his head: "Of course not, Ma Xiaoquan, isn't there a compromise?"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment, then suddenly an idea flashed and he suggested: "Qinghan, why don't we take this Dai Zheng with us to Ningyuan..."
"Huh?" Li Qinghan was stunned, "Is it okay?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Of course. Didn't you listen to what that guy just said? He and that old guy Wei Jinzhong deducted a lot from our Ma family's military supplies in Ningyuan. If this is true, I will definitely punish this thief in accordance with the law."
punish......"
Li Qinghan nodded: "Okay, it's up to you."
After the two of them discussed it, they walked back.
"Dai Zheng, I suddenly changed my mind. Well, we happen to be going to Ningyuan. I think you should go with us."
"Me? I'm not going!"
Ma Xiaoquan slapped Dai Zheng on the head: "Don't want to go? It's not up to you, Bei Mingxue, to do it..."
Bei Mingxue snorted resentfully, and was about to pretend to take action when Dai Zheng shouted: "I'm going, why don't I go..."
Ma Xiaoquan and the three women looked at each other and laughed.
...
After taking care of Dai Zheng, he also took care of all the followers around him. In order to prevent Dai Zheng from suddenly repenting, Ma Xiaoquan put a knife against Dai Zheng's back vest and asked him to dismiss the followers. Of course, the bearded man Gangzi
Still, Ma Xiaoquan kept him.
Ma Xiaoquan admired Gangzi very much. Although he didn't know a few words, his skills in driving a carriage were top-notch.
The journey to Ningyuan was long, and Ma Xiaoquan needed such a groom.
Although this Gangzi is Dai Zheng's follower, he doesn't seem to be that stupid and loyal.
On the way to Ningyuan, Ma Xiaoquan had been thinking about how to poach someone, but because of Dai Zheng, the poaching plan had to be implemented smoothly.
That night, several people checked into the inn together.
After these few days, Dai Zheng originally wanted to find a chance to escape, but...at this moment he had a new idea.
Dai Zheng is not a playboy, but a talented man with both civil and military skills. Ma Xiaoquan has been observing Dai Zheng these days. After several conversations, Ma Xiaoquan found that this man is very smart, although his father let him recognize Wei Jinzhong and Wei Zhongxian for no good reason.
Although he was an uncle, Dai Zheng still seemed to look down on Wei Jinzhong in his heart.
Men in ancient times usually adhered to the "three filial piety", the most important of which was to have a wife.
This "having a descendant" not only means having a son and passing on the family's incense, but more importantly, having a complete body.
As the saying goes, "the skin of the body depends on the parents." If a good man endured the pain and cut off his little brother to become a fire eunuch, it would actually harm the moral integrity of the family.
It is precisely because of this that many retired eunuchs refuse to leave the palace life or death. Those who are doing well are being cared for, while those who are not doing well would rather die alone in the palace than return to secular society.
While talking with Dai Zheng, Ma Xiaoquan could hear the words "eunuch" popping out of Dai Zheng's mouth from time to time. Although Dai Zheng always tried to smooth things over after he finished speaking, Ma Xiaoquan still saw something in his eyes.
Clues.
The journey to Ningyuan is long and difficult. When passing some checkpoints, you have to show customs clearance documents. Plus, you have three women with you, so the speed is even slower.
Ma Xiaoquan did not have much affection for other people in the Ma family except for being grateful to Madam Ma. After all, Ma's father, mother, and two brothers were not his real parents and brothers.
"Haha...Brother Dai, come, have a drink..." In the carriage, Ma Xiaoquan picked up a glass of water and wine and toasted Dai Zheng.
Dai Zheng didn't dare to neglect him. These days, he had seen Ma Xiaoquan's abilities. In addition to his rich knowledge, he was also a fourth-rank member of the Imperial Guard.
You know, Jin Yiwei reaches the fourth rank, which is equivalent to the deputy commander. Although Dai Zheng recognizes Wei Jinzhong's uncle, Wei Jinzhong is an eunuch after all. Even if he makes trouble again, he will still be an eunuch. What's more, today
In the world, it is always right to stand on the same side as the emperor.
As an institution directly under the emperor, Jinyiwei must be much stronger than Wei Jinzhong.
"Brother Ma, you're welcome. Come on, I'll give you a toast, too." Dai Zheng clinked his glasses with both hands respectfully, doing it first as a sign of respect.
Li Qinghan sat next to the two of them and filled their glasses with water and wine easily.
Dai Zheng held up the wine glass with gleaming eyes and was about to speak when he suddenly found Bei Mingxue staring at him and couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Uh, Brother Ma, I'll drink this glass of wine again!" Dai Zheng hurriedly drank the wine in the glass.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and asked, "Brother Dai, we plan to let you go back..."
"Why?" Dai Zhengyi was stunned and put down his wine glass, "Is it because I haven't been performing well these days?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "That's not true. I tied you up privately and took you away together as a temporary solution. Now that I know Brother Dai, it would be too unkind to drag Brother Dai along to Ningyuan again."
"Uh, Brother Ma...can you...I..." Dai Zheng hesitated, as if he had something to say.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "Brother Dai, it's okay to just say it."
"I want...I want to go with you..." Dai Zheng gritted his teeth and said.
"Why? We are going to Ningyuan on this trip, but it is a dangerous place."
"My martial arts skills are pretty good too. Well, I should be able to protect myself."
Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan looked at each other, and the latter said softly: "Master Dai, have you thought about it?"
Dai Zhengyi listened and nodded quickly: "Think about it, think about it."
Beside him, Dongfang Qingxue, who had never spoken, said: "Master Dai, since you want to go with us, then we have to make an agreement with you."
"Three chapters of agreement?"
Bei Mingxue nodded and answered: "First, you are not allowed to cause trouble wantonly; second, you are not allowed to do anything that will make us sorry; third, once you leave us, any of your personal matters will have nothing to do with us.
." Bei Mingxue said, taking out a piece of paper from somewhere and handing it to Dai Zheng.
Dai Zheng took a look and couldn't help being stunned, but then he laughed and said: "Miss Beiming has thought deeply about it, and I admire you very much. Okay, I promise you these three conditions. Just..." Dai Zheng looked at it.
To Ma Xiaoquan, "Brother Ma, what do you think?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said: "They are my bosses, they have the final say."
Dai Zheng knew that Ma Xiaoquan was being self-effacing, but he didn't expose it and just laughed.
Looking at Dai Zheng's flickering eyes, Ma Xiaoquan sneered in his heart: Dai Zheng, Dai Zheng, I know what you have in mind. Since I asked you to follow us, I want you to be my double agent without knowing it.
