The grass and trees in the mountains have sprouted and sprouted, and animals are running around. This is a good season to invite three or five friends for a spring outing, but few people come to Lumen Mountain.
Most tourists go directly to Xian Mountain opposite Lumen Mountain.
Lumen Mountain is picturesque, but no one comes.
The reason is that because of Pang De Company and Sima Hui, no one cares about Lumen Mountain.
However, Wang Can is also happy to be pure and comfortable, without being disturbed.
On this day, a middle-aged man wearing a brown and black robe walked into Lumen Mountain and walked into the forest. This man was young, probably in his early thirties, and was still in his prime, but his back was already slightly rickety.
, and his expression was haggard, his temples were vaguely weathered, and he was aging prematurely, looking heavy with vicissitudes of life.
This person is none other than Ma Yong, the patriarch of the Ma clan.
When he was at home, he suddenly received news that someone invited him to Lumen Mountain for an appointment.
Ma Yong originally couldn't think of it. After all, the message was sent secretly and he couldn't determine what was going on. But in the end, Ma Yong chose to come to Lumen Mountain for the appointment. His curiosity overcame his inner discomfort. Although Ma Liang and others
He is smart and agile, but the situation of the Ma family is deteriorating and the situation is getting worse and worse.
One more friend, one more way of life.
Therefore, Mayun came.
Ma Yong entered Lumen Mountain to see who was looking for him.
He walked for a while and went deep into the forest, but still found nothing. At this time, Shi A suddenly appeared and took Ma Yong to the side of the thatched cottage. Shi A took off the black cloth that covered Ma Yong's eyes, raised his hands and said
: "Clan Chief Ma, please forgive me for offending me. My master is waiting in the thatched cottage, please come in."
Ma Yong walked such a long mountain road and felt a little tired.
He stood there for a while, waiting for his mood to calm down before he strode into it.
Wang Can was wearing a coarse linen robe and a ghost mask on his face, so it was impossible to tell who he was.
Seeing Ma Yong walking in, Wang Can waved his hand and said: "Clan Chief Ma, please sit down. If you have doubts in your mind, we will talk slowly and we will definitely clear up your doubts."
After Ma Yong sat down, he asked loudly: "Who are you?"
Wang Can smiled and said, "I'm just helping you revive the Ma family. Are you satisfied?"
After hearing this, Ma Yong frowned.
The Ma family is in a difficult situation, but its momentum and skeleton are still there. Although it is currently in decline, his five sons are all very outstanding and sensible, and all five of them have become famous. Even if it is harder now, as long as he persists
In the past, the Ma family will definitely be able to prosper again instead of relying on external help.
Ma Yong immediately stood up and said in a cold voice: "I have nothing to do to express my gratitude, but I am either committing adultery or stealing. Take my leave!"
He was very decisive without any hesitation.
Wang Can's heart skipped a beat when he saw that Ma Yong was so strong and refused to contact him at all. This head of the Ma family is difficult to deal with, especially such a pretentious person. Wang Can said loudly: "Chief Ma, don't you
If you think about yourself and not your family, don’t you think about the future of your children?”
After hearing this, Ma Yong stopped immediately.
He turned around, snorted and said, "You don't even dare to show your face, what can you do?"
Wang Can laughed and said, "I didn't show up to protect Chief Ma. If Chief Ma sees my face, not only Chief Ma himself, but also the Ma family will be in danger, so it's better not to look."
Ma Yong shouted: "You are a Xiaoxiao!"
Wang Can chuckled lightly and said: "Whether I am a young disciple or not, as long as I can help you revitalize the Ma family and make your five sons become famous teachers, that will be enough!"
After hearing this, Ma Yong hesitated and returned to sit down.
He asked again: "Who are you?"
His tone was stiff, without any change, as if he was an old antique.
Wang Can thought for a while and decided to reveal a little bit, otherwise it would be difficult to stabilize Ma Yong. He said in a deep voice: "I am a person from the Shu Kingdom who stayed in Jingzhou. Chief Ma must know it now."
"ah!!"
At this time, Ma Yong was stunned and his expression was astonished.
After a long time, Ma Yong recovered from the shock and asked: "Since you are from Shu, why did you come to Xiangyang? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the King of Chu?"
Seeing him suddenly, Wang Can felt that he understood the reason for the decline of the Ma family.
The person in front of me is simply a nerd. He can only study but is not suitable for doing things.
The words have reached this point, and Ma Yong is still talking nonsense.
Such a person has become the patriarch of the Ma family. Wang Can feels that it is really the tragedy of the Ma family. Compared with Huang Chengyan, Kuai Yue, Pang Degong and others, Ma Yong is like a three-year-old child, not worth mentioning at all.
Fortunately, Ma Yong's five sons are high-quality potential stocks and will definitely be able to support the Ma family in the future, otherwise the Ma family will definitely fall.
Wang Can said: "Clan Chief Ma, let me tell you directly. The King of Shu hopes that the Ma family will surrender. Are you willing?"
Ma Yong shook his head in denial and said: "No, no, this is very dangerous. Once discovered by the King of Chu, my Ma family will face disaster."
Timid! Inflexible brain! Shallow city!
Wang Can thinks these are all Ma Yong's shortcomings, but such a person is sincere.
This happens to be what Wang Can likes the most.
Dealing with such people won't take much effort.
Wang Can raised a smile on his lips and said: "Clan Chief Ma, your worries are completely unnecessary. What the King of Shu needs is not you to interfere, nor does he need you to send your servants to attack the Chu army, nor does he need you to lead people to deceive.
Open the city gate. After the Shu army breaks the city, it will be enough if your Ma family can take the lead in surrendering to the Shu army and help the Shu army stabilize the situation and appease people's hearts. Of course, if there is civil strife in the city, you can do other things if you have the guts.
Helping the King of Shu depends on your personal situation."
After hearing this, Ma Yong felt that this was completely pie-in-the-sky.
After reaching the city slope, Liu Biao had been defeated.
At that time, it was reasonable for him to be the first to surrender. There would be no danger.
As for other things, Ma Yong didn't take it to heart.
Ma Yong immediately nodded and said: "Okay, as long as the Shu army breaks the city, my Ma family is willing to be the first to submit to the Shu army, and assist the Shu army in stabilizing public order and appeasing the people."
After a pause, Ma Yong asked again: "You said that my son would become a famous teacher. Does this count?"
This matter is what Ma Yong is most concerned about.
He may be down and out, but as long as his son has a good future, the Ma family will surely thrive again.
Wang Can nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chief Ma, your five sons are talented and beautiful. After being carved by famous teachers, they will definitely shine. After the Shu army takes Xiangyang, I will arrange it for you."
The five sons went to Chengdu to learn from Sima Hui, Pang Degong and others. What do you think?"
Ma Yong frowned and asked, "Do we have to capture Xiangyang?"
Wang Can said: "If Chief Ma is impatient, he can send them to Chengdu. I will communicate with the people in Chengdu and arrange for them to enroll in school and study with Pang Degong and others."
Ma Yong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, wait until Xiangyang is defeated."
Wang Can reached out and took out a piece of paper, on which was written the Ma family's surrender to the Shu Army. Wang Can handed it to Ma Yong and said: "Clan Chief Ma, please sign and fingerprint, and this matter will be settled."
.”
As long as the fingerprints are pressed, Ma Yong will be connected with the Shu Kingdom and will be labeled as the Shu Kingdom.
Ma Yong hesitated for a moment, picked up the brush and signed his name, then pressed his fingerprints.
Immediately, Ma Yong raised his hands and said: "The matter has been completed, Yong said goodbye. With your method, it is easy to send a message to me. If there is anything, you can send a message to me. Yong will do his best."
Wang Can clapped his hands and shouted: "Send off guests!"
Shi A walked in immediately and sent Ma Yong down Lumen Mountain. After Shi A returned, he asked: "My lord, which family will you recruit next? Is it the Xi family or the other two families?"
Wang Can said: "Easy to difficult, let's inform the Xi family first. But don't worry, wait a few days, otherwise people often come to Lumen Mountain to wander around, and it will be easy for others to notice."
