Ma Yuan and Ma Xiaoquan looked at each other and wondered what this guy was talking about. Why don't we brothers understand anything?
Ma Yuan snorted coldly and pretended to say: "So what, it's too late to say anything now. We are going to rob you. If you behave well, we won't say anything. Otherwise, the brothers around us will...
But you will rush out at any time?"
A guard next to the tall bandit looked around and saw no ambush, so he said to them: "Boss, they are just two people. We don't have to be afraid of them. They... uh~~"
Before the guard could finish speaking, he was hit by an arrow in the chest. His eyes widened and he fell to the ground with a look of reluctance. His body twitched twice and stopped moving.
The tall bandit and the other guards around him were startled. They immediately pulled out the daggers at their waists and looked around warily.
Ma Yuan laughed, spread his hands and said, "Don't waste your efforts. With just a small number of people like you, you are no match for us. Just surrender and we won't kill you."
The tall bandit gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Didn't you hear clearly? We are going to rob, rob, do you understand?"
"We have nothing, why are you robbing us?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Who said you have nothing? Haven't you heard that money can't buy you, are you happy?"
"I'm happy?" The tall gangster was stunned and looked at Ma Yuan and Ma Xiaoquan with some confusion.
Ma Yuandao: "Put down your weapons first, and then come over and kneel down obediently!"
The tall bandit breathed out and nodded to the guards around him. The guards were a little reluctant, but they had no choice but to throw the daggers in their hands on the ground. Then, they came over as expected, unwilling to do so.
Kneel down.
Ma Yuan and Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and squatted in front of the tall bandit. Ma Yuan asked: "How do you calculate the festival we had before?"
The tall bandit snorted coldly and said: "We are already surrounded. What else can we do? If we don't have anything, we only have one life. If you want it, just take it."
When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he immediately stood up, pulled out the dagger from his waist with a clang, put it on the tall bandit's neck and said, "Do you think I dare not kill you?"
"Hmph~~" The tall bandit was not afraid of danger.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and smiled contemptuously: "Huh, it's not that easy if you want me to kill you. I am the deacon of Jinyiwei. Wouldn't killing you make my hands dirty?"
When the tall bandit heard Ma Xiaoquan refer to him as "Deacon of Imperial Guard", he was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at him in surprise.
"You...what did you say, you are..."
Ma Xiaoquan sneered and said: "Who am I? I can tell you. I am Ma Xiaoquan, the deacon of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty today! This..." Ma Xiaoquan pointed to Ma Yuan, "This is my second brother Ma Yuan, also
He is the Majiajun general who is stationed in Ningyuan and has been fighting with the Jurchens."
"Wha...what? Ma...Ma Xiaoquan, and...Ma Jiajun...Ma Yuan?" The tall gangster was a little hesitant in his words.
"Huh, what? Are you doubting us? Or, what do you want? But it doesn't matter. We, the Ma family, have worked so hard to shed our lives and blood for the Ming Dynasty, and we don't care about you bandits. Second brother, I don't think so.
Stop robbing them and kill them with one knife, right?"
The tall bandit suddenly became silent, and his mood was not as excited as before, as if he didn't notice that Ma Xiaoquan said he wanted to kill him.
"No..." Ma Yuan suddenly frowned and said, "Little Fourth, this brother was very strategic when he led people to fight with us. It is really a pity to kill him like this.
ah."
"What a pity? What a pity? So what if we have a lot of strategy? We have worked hard to guard the border for the Ming Dynasty, but they know how to rob their own people all day long, just for their own happiness. If one day we can't hold on anymore, the Jurchens will fight
Once you come in, everyone will have the same outcome, which is death."
As Ma Xiaoquan spoke, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet angrily. Looking at him, he seemed to despise the people kneeling in front of him.
Ma Yuandao: "No matter what happens? They are all my subjects of the Ming Dynasty. As soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, we have the obligation to protect them."
"Protect? How to protect? Second brother, do you think the food and salary sent by the imperial court are enough for you to fight the war? If it is enough, why do we need to farm and divide the land ourselves? There is also the recently sent manager Gao Di, who is the head
Stupid pigs...and Wei Zhongxian, they are even more hateful...The government was already in a state of chaos, but now that we are keeping them, are we going to let them run away and continue to be gangsters and harm our own people?"
Ma Yuan was silent.
At this time, the tall bandit suddenly said: "You...are you really the Ma Jiajun stationed in Ningyuan?"
Ma Yuan glared at him coldly and said: "Why are you lying to me? If we hadn't gone out on important matters this time, we wouldn't have run into you gangsters. It's really unlucky. My fourth brother's wedding gift,
Most of it was ruined by you..."
"Second brother, let's not talk about this matter. Wang Ziqiang has already compensated me in full. Okay, let's not talk anymore. Let's fight." As he said that, Ma Xiaoquan pointed the tip of his dagger at the tall gangster's Adam's apple, preparing to
Take the knife.
"Wait a minute!" the tall bandit suddenly shouted.
"Huh? What? Do you want to survive?"
The tall bandit smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yes, I don't want to die, I want to live."
"How spineless!" Ma Xiaoquan said contemptuously.
The tall bandit blushed and said to Ma Yuan: "General, if you are Ma Jiajun, I have a merciless request!"
Ma Yuan was stunned and asked: "What?"
"Can the general allow me to join the Ma Jiajun and fight against the Jurchens together!"
Ma Xiaoquan interrupted: "Humph, what a joke, do you think the Jurchens are so easy to beat? With people like you, how can you beat them? Besides, why should I believe you?"
Ma Yuan's attitude was different from Ma Xiaoquan's. He said more kindly: "Is it true that you want to join the Ma Jiajun?"
The tall bandit shook his head and said: "To be honest, I and a few brothers around me came from the same village. We went to Jinzhou to join the army together, but unfortunately the garrison in Jinzhou was incompetent. I
Many suggestions fell on deaf ears... Later, our brothers heard that the Ma Jiajun in Ningyuan was particularly powerful, and that the generals and soldiers were as close as one family, so we thought of defecting. Unfortunately, just now, we
When we were ready, the Jurchens called...many brothers died. Although Jinzhou was not lost in the end, we were heartbroken, so we escaped and became bandits..."
