Huang Taiji chuckled and said: "Actually, I also know that except for you in the capital, your parents, brothers and sisters-in-law are all here. I originally wanted to arrest them and ask them about the Baiyi Clan, but my
The spy came back and told me that your brother doesn't know anything about the Baiyi Clan, and your father, even if he knew, would never tell me, so I have been looking forward to you coming here."
Ma Xiaoquan said in surprise: "You can't do it, right? You've been making trouble for a long time, you already knew I would come here?"
Huang Taiji shook his head: "No, as early as when you wanted to come to Liaodong, our spies rushed back to report the letter. To be honest, it didn't take long for us to capture this place. In fact, I was also...
...Well, according to you Han people, it’s called gambling, betting on whether you will come or not. Haha, you didn’t disappoint me, you came.”
Ma Xiaoquan spread his hands helplessly and said, "I'm here, what can I do?"
Huang Taiji shook his head: "You are different. Compared with your two brothers, you are much better in literary talent! I am not wrong about this."
Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head and thought to himself: Of course you are wrong. You are talking about the real Fourth Young Master Ma. I am Ma Xiaoquan. How can I have any literary talent?
"Well, if you lower your head and don't speak, you admit it."
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and said with a smile: "Okay, you can say that. What is your purpose?"
Huang Taiji said: "It's very simple. Since your literary talent is very good, then some of the classics preserved by your Ma family must have something about the Baiyi Clan. Have you read it? Am I right?"
Ma Xiaoquan was a little surprised, but he did not deny it: "You also know this?"
"Haha, Ma Xiaoquan, you underestimate us Jurchens too much, but it doesn't matter. Just saying this proves that you have indeed read those classics, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and nodded.
"Okay, having said all that, I do have something I want you to help me with~" As he said that, Huang Taiji took out a pamphlet from his arms and threw it to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan took the booklet, opened it, raised his eyebrows, and said, "These are all written by the Baiyi Clan? Where did you get them?"
"Oh? Can you understand?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "I can understand a little~" [Actually, I can understand everything]
"Sure enough, I made the right decision to find you! Then tell me, what is said in this booklet?"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Huang Taiji in surprise, shook his head and asked, "How come you, Lord Baylor, are so interested in the Baiyi Clan?"
Huang Taiji smiled and said: "No comment. By the way, I have to tell you one thing. The death of Ma Zhi, the eldest son of your Ma family, is very likely to have something to do with the Baiyi clan."
"What? You mean Ma...oh no, you mean the death of eldest brother is related to the Baiyi clan?"
"I didn't say it, I just said it's very possible, so Ma Xiaoquan, I need you to help me, or I'm helping you. We can find the Baiyi Clan together, which will be good for you and me."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled, crossed his arms and said, "Huang Taiji, just by your empty words, can I believe you?"
"Haha, I knew you wouldn't believe me, so... I will let you go back, and I will abandon this place, and I will also order no one to come here. How about this? Is my sincerity enough?"
"Are you giving up here? And you won't let your people come here? Huang Taiji, aren't you afraid that we will take it back?"
"Ha...Whether you take it back or not, the status of the war here is not important at all. If it weren't for your Ma family to send people to guard here, I wouldn't be interested in it. Okay, it's time
I’ve finished what I said, you can leave.”
Ma Xiaoquan didn’t quite believe it: “Am I really able to leave?”
Huang Taiji smiled and said: "We Jurchens are not like you Han people, who go back on their word and tell you to leave, just leave."
"Okay, a gentleman is quick to say the word, Huang Taiji, I believe you, and at the same time, I also promise you to help you find the Baiyi Clan, but... you have to send someone to communicate with me, um
, come over here and I will tell you my communication method."
Huang Taiji nodded, and just as he was about to step forward, Batu rushed out, stood in front of Huang Taiji and said, "Master, this Han man is extremely cunning, you can't get close to him."
Huang Taiji shook his head, pushed Batu away, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I believe him!" After that, Huang Taiji put his ear towards him.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled, nodded, and said a few words to Huang Taiji's ear. Huang Taiji nodded, and the two of them stepped away at the same time.
Ma Xiaoquan offered his hand to Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji returned his offer in a decent manner. Huang Taiji said: "Ma Xiaoquan, you are very interesting. If it weren't for our different camps, I would really like to make you a friend."
"Haha, I feel the same way!"
"By the way, the gorgeous clothes you are wearing are different from the ones you wore before. I think it would be better for you to take them off, put on the clothes of my Jurchen soldiers, and pretend to run away. Well, your two brothers are still here.
I’m waiting for you at the foot of Guangming Mountain.”
"Huh? How do you know..."
"Haha, I really envy you for your deep brotherhood. Okay, stop talking nonsense, Batu... bring me a robe."
Batu frowned and said reluctantly: "Yes~"
...
After Ma Xiaoquan changed into the Jurchen soldier's robe, he bowed his hand to Huang Taiji, then turned and left.
Huang Taiji also kept his promise, did not shoot a secret arrow in Ma Xiaoquan's back, and ordered the withdrawal of the patrols at the foot of the mountain.
After Ma Xiaoquan left for a while, Huang Taiji smiled and picked up the Chinese clothes he had changed into. While weighing it, he said, "The workmanship of this Chinese clothes is really good. Well, there is indeed a mystery in that secret place."
ah."
Batu said: "Master, shall we..."
"No need, we have more important things to do. Let's talk about these little things later. Hmm~~ These clothes are nice, let me put them on and take a look..."
...
A figure flashed behind a big tree in the distance.
Zhao Wenbin panted lightly and stood quietly behind the big tree.
"Well, we're finally out~" Zhao Wenbin said softly, then he turned his head and secretly looked ahead.
A man in Chinese uniforms was walking back and forth among the Jurchen soldiers. Because the distance was too far, Zhao Wenbin could not clearly see who the man in Chinese uniforms was.
"Why does that back look a bit like Ma Xiaoquan? Could it be that he is a Jurchen?" Zhao Wenbin blinked.
...
Ma Xiaoquan trotted out along a path in Guangming Mountain. In order to appear more realistic, Ma Xiaoquan tore the Jurchen soldier robe he was wearing in several places to make himself look embarrassed.
There were no Jurchen soldiers guarding the foot of Guangming Mountain. Ma Xiaoquan knew that they must have obtained Huang Taiji's order and deliberately made a loophole to allow him to escape.
