It is always good to have hope, whether it is Sun Simiao and Xu Yunyan who are watching Mei Jingjing here, or Hou Junji and the Flying Tiger Army led by him who have achieved significant results and are retreating towards the periphery.
It's just that good things come hard. Xu Yunyan and the others looked at Mei resting peacefully there, with a smile on her lips, saying goodbye to each other, and saying what they should do.
It's late and it's time to rest.
However, Xu Yunyan and the others were resting here, but there were still many people busy in Qiongzhou.
Jiang Fangguo, the captain of Qiongzhou Zhechong Prefecture, looked at the team marching quietly in the dark night and nodded with satisfaction.
"This appearance can finally ensure that no one will discover it. Can we transport such wood to a specific area?"
Jiang Fang I said this, and then some generals and commanders next to him hurriedly gathered around Jiang Fangguo to compliment him.
"The captain has arranged it this way, and there are scouts guarding outside. No one should find us."
Jiang Fangguo was not embarrassed to be complimented by everyone here. After laughing a few times, he continued to make arrangements here.
"We must be careful not to leak the news. The preparations we are making now are an attempt and an action to test your strength.
If no news leaks from beginning to end, there will be so much we can do in the future.
After the Imperial Envoy and His Majesty know our capabilities, they will probably be transferred to other places. At that time, as long as we are transferred out, we will be promoted and given titles. "
It's just that Jiang Fangguo and his people are very good here, but there are always some things that want to cause trouble for them.
The door of a house in Qiongzhou City looked so eerie in this dark night.
One after another, white cloths were tied to the wooden poles, swaying constantly with the night breeze, like some dead souls dancing there, accompanied by the dots of firelight, so who could see it? I couldn't help but feel my scalp numb.
This is the Ma family that suffered great changes after Ma Xiaosi's misbehavior.
In a reception room in the center of the courtyard, Mrs. Ma's coffin was placed there.
There was nothing next to him. Those of low status were not qualified to be placed in this room, although there were several coffins in several other rooms.
It's just that the layout of this room is completely different from that of Mrs. Ma's room, and it looks so shabby that there's not even anyone here to accompany her.
In the ancestral hall of his family, the head of the Ma family looked at the illegitimate son Ma Boss beside him. The only thing missing was Ma Lao Er and Ma San, who had a lawsuit. Then he looked at the two of them fiercely and said.
"Although it was an accident for your grandparents, mother and brothers, Ma San must be blamed for this. If he hadn't taken the opportunity to report Xiaosi, how could our Ma family be in this state?"
The head of the Ma family said this fiercely, and the eyes of Ma Lao Er and Ma Lao Er were flashing fiercely.
"Don't worry, Dad, isn't he just a Ma San? So what if he has the official position of brigade marshal. Isn't it easy to deal with him?
After dealing with him, we will deal with the new Mr. Cha when he left, to avenge everyone in our Ma family.
When Boss Ma said this, the head of the Ma family nodded, "Okay, very good. You will be the head of the house from now on, but you should continue to do your business outside the city, but you must also keep the group of desperadoes under you at all times. Remember, our Ma family is not so easy to bully."
When Boss Ma heard what the head of the Ma family said, he hurriedly kowtowed to him, "Don't worry, father, I will let these desperadoes sneak into Qiongzhou City and start causing trouble when I get back now.
Isn't this imperial envoy very capable when he comes? He is showing off his power and has a noble status. This one slaps him in the face first, letting him know what kind of price he has to pay for daring to go against our Ma family.
Don't think that just because you have some official status, you will force our old man to death. Our huge advantage will disappear in Qiongzhou, and we will not make it easy for him.
And this brat like Ma San still dares not to come back and stay in the military camp because of such a thing, okay, I won't even let him go. "
After Boss Ma finished speaking, the head of the Ma family looked at him with relief.
"To do big things, you need to be so decisive. Having a child like you makes me feel at ease. I will feel more at ease when the Ma family is in your hands from now on."
After the head of the Ma family said this again, Ma Laoer's eyes flashed with shock. Looking at the two of them there, they didn't know what to think about.
But before he could think about what was going on with him, the head of the Ma family had already spoken here again.
"Second brother, don't be depressed here. You are the only talent in our family who is suitable for the imperial examination in the eyes of the old man. Our Ma family will spare no effort to support you so that you can be named on the gold list. At that time, you must remember Regarding our Ma family’s affairs, our Ma family has also had high-ranking officials, so we can’t be bullied by this ordinary person.”
"Don't worry, Dad, I know it, I remember it in my heart."
The head of the Ma family seemed to want him to shed his blood for the Ma family, and he continued to talk here.
"Don't worry, I will provide you with a lot of gold and silver treasures so that you can go out to study and take care of things. From now on, the Ma family's properties in other places will also be handed over to you, and I will give you a lot of money every year. Too little silver."
This is a family separation. Boss Ma was here just now and listened to the head of the Ma family saying that the entire Ma family was for him. Now he wants to give part of the valuable property to Ma Lao Er, just because he can study, he can This Kong Wuli can only do banditry in secret?
The head of the Ma family did not expect that his two brothers, who were originally harmonious and harmonious, almost became enemies due to his unintentional act.
Maybe there was a grudge to begin with.
Ma San, who was being resented by the head of the Ma family and the two brothers, now appeared next to Jiang Fangguo.
"Lord Captain, we have arrived at the designated place, but I don't know why our brothers who stayed behind haven't come to pick us up yet. What should we do?"
Jiang Fangguo couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.
"What? No more? Are you sure the people who came to pick us up are gone? Are these guys eating too much and unable to walk? No, hurry up and take a look. If it is really these guys who have eaten too much, they are still alive. Well, if something unexpected happens, we will be in big trouble here. This information cannot be leaked under any circumstances, and no one can know about the things arranged by His Majesty before they are completed. "
Ma San got Jiang Fangguo's order and hurriedly led more than a dozen of his men to the secret place where Zhechongfu soldiers were stationed in the designated area.
After arriving at this secret place, I heard some laughing and joking sounds coming from far away.
The further he leaned forward, the more Ma San turned pale.
Are these people openly gambling here?
This made Ma San angry. Although the gambler was a brigade commander like himself and he couldn't control them, but he was following the orders of the captain, and Ma San kicked the room open without even thinking about it. He opened the door and saw dozens of brothers gathered together, shouting loudly.
The brigade marshal in the middle who was of the same rank as him was holding two bowls in his hands, shaking them constantly.
And as the door was opened, the brigade commander, who had the same surname as himself but was not Ma in his own family, looked at Ma San and said, "Hey, brother is here! How about you come and earn some money too?"
The brigade commander surnamed Ma said it very casually, but Ma San's expression changed drastically.
"Ma Youcai, Ma Youcai, you are really fooling around. What time is it now? The Captain is coming soon. You neither inspect nor clean up the place, nor go to greet him. Don't you know what we are doing, Mr. He?" Is it serious?"
"Is there anything serious or not?"
The brigade commander named Ma Youcai looked at Ma San here and said indifferently.
"Isn't it just a circle of land? This land is originally an unclaimed land. I'm waiting for someone to come to this station. What's more, who has time to come here at this late night?"
