"I don't dare," Ma Yunjiu said. "The war horses will only eat hay. As time goes by, the cavalry team will have no more horses to ride."
Shi Yunhu said disapprovingly: "Without horses, people are still there. Everyone in your cavalry team is armed with a sword. What else can you be dissatisfied with? There are several other villages in Daliang Mountain that don't have cavalry teams, so it's different."
Without war horses, the strength of the cavalry team will be reduced by more than half. Ma Yunjiu did not want to give up just like this. He said: "Master, last time my subordinates brought back several hundred taels of silver from Lingqiu, and each leader was allocated a hundred taels. The cavalry team I only got 20 taels, can you make up for 100 taels so that the horse team can get the same amount of silver as everyone else?"
At this time, he no longer expected Shi Yunhu to take care of the cavalry, but only hoped that Shi Yunhu could treat the cavalry fairly.
Shi Yunhu, who was sitting in his seat, his face darkened and said: "Other leaders get a lot of silver to buy weapons for their subordinates. Not only does everyone in your cavalry have swords, but they even have cotton armor. You don't have to spend a tael of silver, so it's nothing." Twenty taels, isn’t this enough? If I hadn’t suppressed the dissatisfaction of others, the cavalry team should have taken out the cotton armor and sabers and distributed them to others now.”
"Master..." Ma Yunjiu begged, "Since the rogue camp, the cavalry has been the guard of the military camp in the master's camp. Later, they escaped from the siege of the army with the master and came to Daliang Mountain to set up the flag. Is it true that the master We must watch our cavalry completely destroyed."
Snapped!
The wine bowl in Shi Yunhu's hand fell to the ground.
A piece of broken bowl flew up and crossed Ma Yunjiu's forehead, creating a cut and blood spilled out.
Ma Yunjiu seemed not to notice, staring at Shi Yunhu in front of him.
Shi Yunhu pointed to the door and shouted: "Get out!"
Ma Yunjiu didn't move.
"What? You don't even listen to my words anymore, and you still think that the words of me, the boss, are useless." Shi Yunhu's eyes flashed coldly.
Ma Yunjiu said: "I don't dare."
"Get out if you know you don't dare. If there's a next time, don't blame me for not remembering our old feelings." There was a hint of chill in Shi Yunhu's words.
Ma Yunjiu's lips wriggled a few times, then left without saying a word in disappointment.
Shi Yunhu, who was sitting on the seat in the room, looked at Ma Yunjiu's leaving figure and narrowed his eyes slightly.
After leaving, Ma Yunjiu did not go back to his room, but came to the stable.
There were originally more than twenty war horses in the stable, but now there are only seventeen horses left. Two of them are obviously not right and are sick.
War horses are more difficult to raise than the mules and horses in ordinary people's homes, and even more difficult to maintain than humans.
Ma Yunjiu looked at the war horses eating hay in front of him, wondering how many of them would be left in the future.
In the past, in the rogue camp, the horse team was most valued by Shi Yunhu. Even if the food in the camp was insufficient, the horses would not miss a bite to eat. Since Shi Yunhu came to Daliang Mountain and established a foothold, everything has changed.
The horse team, which was once valued, was no longer taken seriously. Until he and the horse team came back from Lingqiu, Shi Yunhu had already begun to make things difficult for the horse team and weaken the team's strength.
"Ma Tou, you didn't ask for money from the boss, did you?" While Ma Yunjiu was in a daze, a group of riders came up next to him.
This man used to be a soldier in the frontier army and was known as Lao Wu. He used to take the surname of his commander-in-chief Zeng. After the commander-in-chief died, he did not give himself a name. He was usually called Lao Wu Lao Wu.
In Lao Wu's own words: Since I have become a bandit, I don't need to use my name, so as not to have the shame to meet my ancestors when I die.
"Shi Yunhu has changed. He is different from before." Ma Yunjiu looked at the war horse in front of him. This was the first time he spoke out Shi Yunhu's name.
Lao Wu smiled and said, "Do you regret not staying in Lingqiu?"
Ma Yunjiu nodded slightly and said: "I have some regrets, but what I regret is that I shouldn't have brought you back in the first place. I just wanted to come back by myself."
"It's not too late to go to Lingqiu. Mr. Liu is not a narrow-minded person." Lao Wu grabbed a handful of hay and placed it in the manger.
Ma Yunjiu slowly said: "Let's go, there is no room for the cavalry here. You take the rest of the cavalry and leave Daliang Mountain."
"We've left Ma Tou, where are you?" Lao Wu looked at Ma Yunjiu.
"I'm staying." Ma Yunjiu said, "Shi Yunhu saved my life in Liaodong."
Lao Wu advised: "The life you owed him has been repaid a long time ago. If we hadn't taken him out of the siege of the army, he would have been dead now. There would be no chance to come to Daliang Mountain and become the big boss like him. "
"No need to persuade." Ma Yunjiu waved his hand and said, "You go ahead and go to Lingqiu to find Liu Heng. Once you get to him, you will be put to good use."
The two people were talking when someone ran towards the stable.
Soon, Ma Yunjiu saw clearly that the person coming was a rider named Tan Zaiwang from the cavalry team.
Lao Wu was surprised: "Zaiwang, why are you here?"
Tan Zaiwang said with an ugly face: "It's too much. Kong Lengzi and the others have surrounded the residence of our cavalry team."
"What? Kong Lunzi led people to surround our residence. What does he want to do? Or treat us as prisoners?" Lao Wu looked ugly.
Ma Yunjiu's expression on the side also changed a few times.
He didn't expect that when he stepped out with his front foot, Shi Yunhu had people surrounding the cavalry team.
"Ma Tou, what should we do?" Lao Wu looked at Ma Yunjiu.
At this time, it was up to Ma Yunjiu, the leader of the cavalry, to decide whether to fight or retreat.
Ma Yunjiu said with an ugly face: "I'm going to find Shi Yunhu."
Before he could move, another group of people came from a distance and surrounded the stable, surrounding Ma Yunjiu and the others.
"So the horse's head is here, no wonder I didn't see it in the room."
Hearing the sound, Ma Yunjiu looked up and said coldly: "Kong Lengzi, what do you mean?"
Kong Lengzi said with a deadpan smile, "Don't be angry, Ma Tou. It's an order from the master. The cavalry team is not allowed to leave the stronghold. My people have also taken over the horses in the stable, so if nothing happens to Ma Tou, it's okay." Please come back!”
"You go back first, I'll go see the boss." Ma Yunjiu said to Lao Wu and Tan Zaiwang, and walked away from the stable.
Kong Lengzi's face darkened, he looked at Ma Yunjiu's retreating back and shouted: "Ma Tou, don't waste your time, the boss won't see you."
Ma Yunjiu ignored it and walked towards Shi Yunhu's residence without looking back.
A sneer appeared on Kong Lunzi's lips, and he immediately looked at the other two people and said, "You two, go back. You don't need to come to the stable anymore."
"snort!"
Lao Wu snorted coldly and left with Tan Zaiwang.
Ma Yunjiu came to the door of Shi Yunhu's house. Before he could go in, he was stopped by two bandits outside the door.
"I want to see the boss." Ma Yunjiu said coldly.
One of the bandits said: "The boss has taken a rest, so please come back to Ma Tou!"
Ma Yunjiu glanced at the bright light in the room and understood that Shi Yunhu deliberately let people outside the door to stop him and prevent him from entering the house.
Seeing this, Ma Yunjiu turned around and left without saying a word.
