Chapter four hundred and eighty eighth red face and white face
So, is Ma Hui not actually a spy?
After Ma Hui made his decision, his order was quickly conveyed. Although the lieutenants still had hesitation in their hearts, since the other party's order was correct, they might as well take a look first and then make a conclusion.
The departing lieutenants did not realize that Wu Peng, who had always been cold-blooded towards Ma Hui, did not leave after everyone dispersed.
Two people, no, three people, Ma Hui, Wu Peng, and Huang Shi, the three of them took their seats in the temporary tent, and the originally tense atmosphere with swords and crossbows became calmer after no one was around.
stand up.
Wu Peng was looking at Ma Hui, and Ma Hui was also looking at Wu Peng.
After a while, the two suddenly looked at each other and smiled, as calmly as usual.
Huang Shi, who was next to him, also smiled slightly along with the two of them, laughing, shaking his head and sighing.
"Brother, how are my acting skills?"
Wu Peng laughed for a long time, walked up and patted Ma Hui on the shoulder, but then spread his other hand in front of Ma Hui, and said with lingering fear: "Look at the sweat on my palms?"
Ma Hui also sighed loudly after him, held Wu Peng's hand with his backhand, and said seriously: "Brother Wu, I owe you this time, and I will definitely repay you this favor in the future!"
"Where does this come from?"
Wu Peng threw his hand away, widened his eyes and said, "Since you and I are brothers, who can I help if I don't help you?"
"Moreover……"
He paused and spoke in a lower voice. After glancing outside the tent, he lowered his voice and said: "Then why did Zheng Yuanyun treat us as human beings? Since he was unkind at first, don't blame us for being unjust at the end."
!”
When the words reached this point, both of them were silent, except Huang Shi who was completely unaware of this.
He was not Zheng Yuanyun's subordinate, so naturally he would not have any more feelings. However, when he was under Hua Lao's subordinate, he had never experienced the sufferings of Ma Hui and Wu Peng. At this moment, he could only sigh along with them.
Yes, Wu Peng has always been the one causing the most trouble. In fact, the three of them had discussed this matter a long time ago, and from the beginning, Ma Hui had no intention of hiding it from Wu Peng.
The two have a life-long friendship. Ma Hui even saved Wu Peng's life back then. The two families of Wu and Ma have been friends for generations, and their children have even been married since childhood.
With this relationship, when Ma Hui came to Xilong City and met Wu Peng again, he immediately pulled him aside and told him that he had surrendered to General Luo.
At first, of course Wu Peng's expression changed drastically, thinking that Ma Hui was seeking death. But when Ma Hui explained the predicament he was in, Wu Peng remained silent.
Both of them are Zheng Yuanyun's confidants, so they naturally know Zheng Yuanyun's way of dealing with people. They also know that although Ma Hui was plotted this time, it was against Zheng Yuanyun's order after all, which led to the development of the situation.
out of Zheng Yuanyun's control.
In this way, it would be fine if nothing happened, but if something happened, Zheng Yuanyun would definitely put all the blame on Ma Hui.
It's a pity that Ma Hui is just a small captain. How can he be responsible for the interests of a province? If Ma Hui is really responsible for this matter, then he will be fine even if he dies without a burial place. He will probably directly
Under Zheng Yuanyun's revenge, the nine tribes were executed!
Nine tribes!
The relationship between Wu Peng and Ma Hui is very weak, and they are even future in-laws. It is hard to say whether this incident will also affect Wu Peng.
And based on Wu Peng's understanding of Zheng Yuanyun, he probably didn't run away.
So, on the one hand, he couldn't bear to have something happen to his old friend, but on the other hand, he was also thinking about his own family. No matter what, Wu Peng could only stand by Ma Hui's side at the moment.
Of course, he has another option, which is to report the matter to Mr. Zheng immediately, so as to make meritorious deeds and clean himself up in this matter.
But firstly, he naturally has a stronger friendship with Ma Hui, who is still his savior after all. Secondly, where is he going to report to Mr. Zheng in this short while?
Wu Peng was led by Huang Shi to wander around the deep mountains and old forests of Nantes Province for almost a month. He had long been far away from the war. At this time, he had no idea where Lord Zheng had fought and where he had settled down. So he
How to make a snitch?
And since Ma Hui dared to tell the truth, wouldn't he be wary of this?
Between emotion and reason, in public and private matters, Wu Peng finally made his decision after weighing the pros and cons.
He decided to help Ma Hui!
Helping Ma Hui is also helping himself, and although Ma Hui's move is a risky move, once it succeeds, it will have huge benefits.
You must know that Ma Hui surrendered to General Luo!
Although Master Zheng is obviously more powerful than General Luo in the Anluo Province, what about outside the Anluo Province?
As the commander-in-chief of the capital Qingfeng City, Commander-in-Chief Luo's energy is probably an order of magnitude higher than Master Zheng.
Ma Hui gave up Master Zheng and chose Commander Luo, which was also a smart move.
Under Master Zheng, Ma Hui, or Wu Peng, may be considered a confidant, but in terms of military rank, they are not yet highly utilized.
But once they help General Luo succeed here, it is conceivable that the other party will treat them well in the future.
Although it was a risky move, it was not without benefits. It must be said that Mr. Luo played a large role in Wu Peng's decision.
So, after the three people discussed, they asked Wu Peng to play the role of a white-faced person. They had many doubts about Ma Hui along the way. Later, because of his radicalness, he stood out among the deputy generals and became the representative of the deputy generals.
Speak for them.
The results of this have come out. Sure enough, Wu Peng was in front, and his words expressed the feelings of the lieutenants. Therefore, no one went past him to directly express their dissatisfaction to Ma Hui.
Even the letter, because the lieutenants trusted Wu Peng at this time, they only allowed him to read a short paragraph, and no one read the full text.
In fact, the letter was naturally a forgery. Every word in it was copied from Zheng Yuanyun's handwriting by a calligraphy master Chen Ze ordered to find when Ma Hui was still in Ketan City.
But since it was just an imitation, there was of course the risk of someone seeing it, so the letter was directly intercepted by Wu Peng and did not fall into the hands of the lieutenants.
Of course, only Zheng Yuanyun's seal on that letter is authentic, because it was Zheng Yuanyun who gave it to Xiao Du and then snatched it away by Gu Qingfeng.
From then on, when the lieutenants heard that Iihe City was breached, their anger was gradually calmed down by the singing and harmony of Ma Hui, Wu Peng, and Huang Shi. Wu Peng even gave a hint that they would wait until they returned to Anluo.
After the province is established, the matter will be handed over to the Military Aircraft Department for decision.
And the Military Aircraft Department...
The military commander of Anluo Province is Hua Lao!
