"Sounding arrow?"

Ma Hui raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he was really afraid that he would be of no use to Chen Ze and others. If that was the case, it would mean that he was of no use.

Will General Luo take a person who has no use value under his command?

Fortunately, Chen Ze has exactly what he wants.

Xiangjian sent a message. This was indeed explained when Zheng Yuanyun left Ketan City and handed over 500,000 elite soldiers to him, so Ma Hui can really help.

Just as he expected, Ma Hui just asked the messenger to report the situation to Zheng Yuanyun. Chen Ze did not stop him on the spot, but he had already sent the order through the system to his confidant who stayed outside. The poor man

As soon as the messenger soldier left the city lord's palace, he was knocked unconscious with a stick and is now being secretly imprisoned in the woodshed.

"I wonder what kind of sounding arrow Mr. Chen wants me to pass on?"

Ma Hui asked quickly.

"It's not urgent. I have to think about it some more."

Chen Ze smiled, but did not say anything about the sounding arrow that was about to be sent. He paused and then said: "But I have always been curious about the Qingyang Empire's method of sending messages with sounding arrows. I wonder if General Ma can tell me something about it so that it can be explained.

Are you curious?"

Ma Hui's heart trembled, and he continued: "What's wrong with that? I have here the letter that Mr. Zheng gave me. Mr. Chen can tell after taking a look at it!"

He is not stupid, he knows that Chen Ze's move is definitely not out of curiosity, but because he still can't trust him.

What Chen Ze was worried about was that he pretended to follow the instructions of the two men, but after firing the arrow, he sent out the opposite content, or directly warned Zheng Yuanyun.

In this way, this information cannot be used by Ma Hui at will. If he is still loyal to Zheng Yuanyun, then the matter will be serious. Zheng Yuanyun may be able to make a comeback if he is on guard.

Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Ze to give Ma Hui this opportunity.

Now he only said that he wanted Ma Hui to send the message with an arrow, but he did not tell the content of the message. Ma Hui could not do it even if he wanted to.

And when he got Zheng Yuanyun's special sounding arrow message book, Chen Ze could even send out the sounding arrow without going through Ma Hui, which was naturally much safer.

As for after handing over the signal book, will the other party kick me away?

What options does Ma Hui have now?

Chen Ze would discuss with him that even if he thought highly of him, it would not be difficult to kill him directly if he failed to do so, and then slowly find the signal book.

So now, Ma Hui can only trust and bet on Chen Ze's character. If he cooperates so well, the other party should not be so unethical.

Thinking of this, Ma Hui did not hesitate at all, and immediately handed the precious and important signal book wrapped in kraft paper to Chen Ze from his arms.

Chen Ze took it and opened it. As expected, it contained a detailed list of what the different sounds of each sounding arrow meant after it was shot into the sky.

The signal book is not thick. After all, it can only be used for emergency messaging. If the sound of the arrow is too complicated, there is no guarantee that it will not be misunderstood during the sound transmission process.

It was only two pages. Chen Ze glanced at it and understood it immediately.

He nodded, returned the signal book to Ma Hui, and said, "Thank you, General Ma. The general will have to worry about it now."

"You just need to set off now, and when you get to Xilong City..."

He came up to Ma Hui and explained in this way. Ma Hui nodded repeatedly, but at the end, he said with some doubts: "That's it?"

Chen Ze smiled and said, "That's it. Since General Ma is already one of our own, why would I allow you, General, to put yourself in danger? All you need to do is shoot this loud arrow, and the rest will naturally be arranged later."

"It's just that..."

Ma Hui calmed down, reorganized Chen Ze's explanation in his mind, and finally nodded heavily and said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Chen and Mr. General, I, Ma Hui, will definitely do my best to handle this matter!"

After thinking for a while, he exhaled again and said: "Master Chen, you also know that my current situation is extremely bad. Although Master Zheng has treated me well in the past, I also know his temper well, so..."

His eyes dimmed a bit, and he sighed: "For the sake of my Ma family, I have to do this no matter what, so you two adults can rest assured that I, Ma Hui, will never betray me halfway!"

After the words fell, Chen Ze and Commander Luo looked at each other, knowing that Ma Hui was expressing his determination to them, lest Chen Ze and Commander Luo still did not trust him.

Chen Ze then said: "General Ma, you can rest assured. Even if you don't believe me, you should still believe that the commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief. What kind of status is he? Is he a person who goes back on his word?"

General Luo also stepped forward, patted Ma Hui's shoulder lightly, and said cheerfully: "General Ma, there is no need to worry about this. The words I, Luo Bei, say are like arrows shot out. There is no turning back.

You just need to do your best to handle this matter. Even if the result is not satisfactory, I will never break my promise!"

Ma Hui took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

What he wants is this promise. After all, his identity is too sensitive and he is Zheng Yuanyun's confidant. Although he chooses to go to Chen Ze for self-protection, others must truly believe in him.

For example, when Chen Ze asked him for the signal book, this was actually a sign of distrust in him.

Of course, this Ma Hui can be understood. If Chen Ze suddenly believed in him without reservation, then he himself might not even believe in himself.

Having said that, Ma Hui really wanted to vote for Chen Ze, so he must say what he should say.

After receiving General Luo's assurance, Ma Hui felt a lot more relaxed. He immediately said goodbye to Chen Ze and General Luo and went to do what Chen Ze had told him.

Chen Ze and General Luo were the only two people left in the meeting hall.

"You...really believe him?"

It was only then that General Luo asked the doubts in his heart.

Chen Ze shook his head: "He has no choice."

It can be said that Ma Hui was deceived by Chen Ze step by step. Originally, he only had to insist on staying in Ketan City to ensure that nothing happened. Even if there were any problems in the war ahead, as long as he did his duty,

It was impossible for Zheng Yuanyun to blame him.

However, it is a pity that Ma Hui was still focused on Zheng Yuanyun at that time, so when he thought something was going on in Xilong City, Ma Hui rushed to support him so eagerly.

If he had thought more carefully at the beginning, things would never be like this.

But now, it is no longer possible for Ma Hui to think about getting military exploits from Zheng Yuanyun, and he is even worried about his own life. If he doesn't want to die with Zheng Yuanyun, the choice now is the most correct choice.
