Yue'er has never been to this mountain forest, and she doesn't know the way.
But she said very firmly that if she walked fast, she would be able to leave the mountain at dusk today. Walk slowly, we will be out of the mountain early tomorrow morning.
She said it so confidently, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
Ma Qiancheng and the others didn't believe it, thinking that the little girl loved to joke.
But Maotu believed it, "Maybe the giant python told her?"
Sure enough, as the sun set in the west and at dusk, they really saw the official road from a distance!
"Amazing!" Several people who heard Yue'er's words looked at the little girl in shock.
Yue'er was playing riddles with Xiao Cai, and didn't care about the surprised and admiring looks from others.
"This family, both adults and children, are full of spiritual energy! We can't be separated from them no matter what!" the familiar soldiers whispered.
Ma Qiancheng took people to the official road and discussed it with Wen Yu, Xiao Yuchen and a few cronies.
Wait until Li Laojiu led the people down the mountain road and down to the pipeline.
She nodded to Li Laojiu, "Okay, let's just say goodbye and take care of each other."
Li Laojiu glanced at the direction her team was heading, squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, "That's not right! Master Ma, are you going in the wrong direction? You are going in the wrong direction!"
Ma Qiancheng said with a serious smile, "That's right, go north."
Li Laojiu laughed and said, "I must have said it wrong! We are in the mountains, so we are already too far north. We are the government office on the mission. We are in the south now, so we should go south along the official road! You You’re going the wrong way!”
"We're not going the other way," Ma Qiancheng said, "We're not going to the government office, we're going directly to Kyoto."
Li Laojiu's heart skipped a beat, and he stepped forward and held his hand, "Let me take a step to speak!"
Ma Qiancheng followed him to the roadside.
Her back was straight, her hands were behind her back, and she looked at Li Laojiu coldly, "We just got to know each other and cherish each other."
"No..." Li Laojiu glanced at Wen Yu and the others and lowered his voice, "You have a lot of plans here, but there are only five women, right?"
Ma Qiancheng was startled, and then he realized... He thought Wen Yu and Xiao Yuchen were women, including Wen Tu'er and Wen Yue.
"You have gone to the capital, and you can't do business!" Li Laojiu said anxiously.
Ma Qiancheng curled his lips in disdain, "No need to bother."
After that, she was leaving.
"Eh..." Li Laojiu quickly grabbed her sleeve.
Ma Qiancheng glanced at him.
He quickly let go of his hand, "No, aren't I worried about my brother?"
Ma Qiancheng snorted softly.
She was so relaxed and confident, which made Li Laojiu feel even more anxious and itchy.
"We've just met you, and I've been following you for so long, so why can't you tell me the truth? What's the matter? Are you afraid that I'll take your advantage?"
"You robbed all my people! Now you have more than sixty people! I followed you with more than fifty brothers, and now there are only a dozen or so remnants left... but you can't even tell the truth. Are you willing to tell me?"
Ma Qiancheng sighed, lowered his voice, and covered his mouth with his hands, "It's okay to tell you... We don't need to hand over the sacrificial woman. We want to go to Kyoto to offer treasures!"
Li Laojiu was shocked when he heard this, "Hand, treasure? What kind of treasure are you offering?"
"Could it be the big bead spit out by the giant python? But...that bead belongs to the little girl, she can't give it to you, right?"
Ma Qiancheng took out a fist-sized wooden box from his pocket. The box was very simple.
She slowly opened the box...a soft light immediately shone from the gap in the box.
Li Laojiu couldn't help but hold his breath and widened his eyes, "This..."
So beautiful! This bright and clear light made this simple box seem to have a sacred light, making it look particularly extraordinary.
"She...she is really willing to give it to you?" Li Laojiu swallowed and said in disbelief.
Ma Qiancheng sighed, "Do you really think they are monsters? They are humans! Uncle Wen said that they can't keep an eye on the little girl all the time, and the little girl doesn't have the ability to protect herself. Put this treasure with her. , is a treasure, but also a disaster. It is better to give it to me and let me offer it to the higher-ups, which can save his family from the fate of offering sacrifices, and in exchange for food and clothing. It is more cost-effective, isn't it? "
Li Laojiu's chin fell to the ground with a click.
ah? Is that what they think?
If he had known this, why would he have planned to steal or snatch the treasure?
As long as he suppresses his impatience... and has a good relationship with Wen Yu's family, he still worries about not getting any benefits?
Great now! He completely broke up with Wen Yu's family and Ma Qiancheng! His family took the initiative to give the treasure he wanted to Ma Qiancheng!
Oh my God!
He regrets so much!
If he had known this, why would he bother?
Now, he has lost so many brothers, lost his heart, and lost the opportunity to get this treasure!
A slight smile seemed to overflow on Ma Qiancheng's serious face.
She put the treasure away and left with her hands behind her back.
Li Laojiu stood there with bitterness in his mouth... One wrong step, one wrong step! His intestines are about to turn green!
no! We can't just miss out on good luck!
He had to find a way - he had to have a share in the baby!
"Lord Centurion..." The soldiers stepped forward and saluted Li Laojiu.
Li Laojiu was stunned, then reached out and patted the soldier on the head, "Nonsense! There are only a few of us? Why am I a centurion? I'm not! Don't scream!"
The soldiers were stunned when they heard this... What? Weren't you dissatisfied with the original title and asked everyone to change it?
What are you doing here?
"Let me ask you..." Li Laojiu returned to the dozen or so people among him, "Do you want to eat well and drink spicy food, without having to sleep in the open air or be beaten or scolded while searching for women to sacrifice?"
More than a dozen people nodded repeatedly, "Of course! Of course! Who would be willing to do such a thing if there were other ways to survive?"
Li Laojiu glanced at Ma Qiancheng and his party who were heading north, "You know there are so many of them, why don't you care about the dozen or so women we are guarding?"
The soldiers shook their heads again and again, "I thought they would definitely come to rob us... After all, there are many of them. If they really rob us, we will definitely not be our opponents!"
Li Laojiu nodded, "That's the truth! But they didn't rob at all, why?"
"Because they have a better way out!"
Everyone's eyes widened, "What's a good way out? Can you take us with you?"
Li Laojiu sighed... He regretted it! I regret so much that my stomach feels bitter.
"They want to go directly to the capital to present the treasure!" Li Laojiu gestured with a circle the size of an egg in his hand, "That bead is dedicated to the Imperial Preceptor and the Emperor!"
"Ho..." The soldiers all took a breath, their eyes filled with enthusiasm and envy.
"We are all brothers who have lived and died together. If we go to Beijing to present treasures, we should be part of it, right?" someone asked eagerly.
"Yes! So I thought... it would be better to reconcile with Master Ma!"
Before Li Laojiu finished speaking, the group of soldiers took the initiative to run forward.
"Master! Master Ma! Wait for us!"
"We are willing to continue to follow Mr. Ma! We will ride the horse and the back for you, and be a cow and a horse!"
At first, Li Laojiu thought that this group of people would not turn around and chase Ma Qiancheng out of shame.
Therefore, he had to persuade them step by step...
Who would have thought that before he even finished speaking, they would abandon him and go to Ma Qiancheng!
This is really, seeing the benefits - even shameless!
Pooh! A bunch of bastards!
