I remember that when he escaped from the county jail, Yuma was already vaguely suspicious, because the guards in the county jail were too sparse at that time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Especially when it came time for him to pick the lock, the few Shangshui soldiers who stayed behind as jailers actually got drunk one by one.

At that time, Youma was in a hurry to escape from the county prison and didn't think much about it, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it is very likely that his smooth escape was deliberately arranged.

Even, maybe that Zongwei Zhou Pu also followed his wishes and deliberately left the copper wire for him, so that he could pick the lock and escape.

Since Zongwei is involved, it is not difficult to guess who hopes that he will escape from the prison smoothly, after all, the ten Zongwei in Yangxia County are only under the orders of one person, that is, the King of Su.

Thinking about it carefully along this line, You Ma gradually felt that there was something wrong with the attitude of the Su King at that time, especially when he asked how he learned the secret of the tunnel, Zhao Hongrun's stammering appearance.

Thinking of this, Yuma couldn't help but be a little deflated.

Because he thought that he had escaped from the prison with his own skills, but now that he thinks about it, it is clear that Zong Wei Zhou Pu and the Shang Shui Jun in the prison were privately advised by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, to secretly cooperate with him to escape from prison.

As for what Zhao Hongrun's purpose was, with Ying Kang's words when he was furious, You Ma also had some suspicions.

That King Su wants to get the location of the nest of the Fuqiu people in Geyang Mountain!

When he told Ying Kang about this speculation, Ying Kang was also shocked, but then, Ying Kang said bitterly: "Even if you and I have guessed that Zhao Run's intentions, what can we do?" Could it be that you just watched the Fuqiu people assist the merchant army to wipe me out? ”

Hearing this, Youma couldn't help but be speechless.

Indeed, what if you guess the intentions of the Su King? Is it possible not to reveal the location of the nest of the Fuqiu people?

Why?

Why can the Fuqiu people put the Yiqiu people into such a crisis, but the Yiqiu people can't make the same counterattack?

Even if they knew Zhao Hongrun's intentions, in order to take revenge on the Fuqiu people, they could only obediently comply.

This is a yang conspiracy, even if you know that it is a plan, you still have to drill into it.

Thinking of this, You Ma couldn't help but secretly mock Jin Gou: Let you be cunning like a ghost, trying to use the power of the Shang Shui Army to annex the rest of the hidden thief forces in Yangxia, but how can you fight that Su Wang? Do you think that if you help that Su King clear Yangxia County, that Su King will let you continue to expand the Fuqiu people?

"Brother Yingkang, what should we do after that? …… If we also leak the location of the camp of the Fuqiu people, although we can retaliate against Jin Gou, it is the Lord Su who will profit in the end...... In front of him, the people of Yiqiu and Fuqiu can be controlled at will, and when he wants to send troops to exterminate us, he can send troops to exterminate us......"

Listening to Youma's words, Ying Kang fell into deep thought, and after half a sound, he asked, "Brother Youma, what do you say?" ”

I saw You Ma ponder for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Don't disclose the location of the camp of the Fuqiu people for the time being." …… If I'm not mistaken, that King Su will not exterminate the remnants and leave only one Fuqiu people, otherwise, how will he check and balance Jin Gou in the future? And once Brother Ying Kang leaks the location of the Fuqiu people's camp to Zhao Run in vain, then we really don't have any more fights......

"What do you mean......"

"Only the Yiqiu people know the location of the camp of the Fuqiu people, maybe we can take advantage of this to negotiate with the king of Su." You Ma lowered his voice and said, "This may give the Yiqiu people a glimmer of life. ”

Hearing this, Ying Kang paced back and forth in the secret room for a few steps, frowned and said, "But in this way, wouldn't my Yiqiu people have to obey that Zhao Run's orders from now on, lose their freedom and become the lackeys of the imperial court?" ”

You Ma smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The matter has come to this, how can you still take care of the purpose of the hidden man not to be a ghost?" ”

The so-called ghost is a saying in the customs of the Wei State, the Wei people believe that the ghosts of the people who were bitten to death by the tiger, because they died in the tiger's mouth, they have no way to vent their resentment, so they are transformed into ghosts, helping the tiger that bites them to bite more victims, so that more people suffer from them, so there is the idiom of being a tiger for the tiger. Note: This is the correct interpretation of this idiom.

And this self-discipline of the hidden thief, or the purpose of not being a ghost, is intended to warn colleagues not to covet glory and wealth to join the court and the powerful, after all, even in the Wei State, the phenomenon of nobles oppressing commoners is still very common, and the imperial court, because of its favoritism towards the aristocracy, is therefore disgraced by many free people.

In contrast, on the contrary, they are hidden thieves who have been convicted as thieves by the imperial court, but they will not dump the civilians, and many of the targets they attack are rich and unkind nobles, so from the perspective of the common people, there is nothing wrong with the hidden thieves calling themselves hidden heroes and righteous men.

But from Zhao Hongrun's point of view, it's completely different.

After all, Zhao Hongrun is the biggest nobleman in Wei, born in the royal family, and when he looks at the hidden thief from the perspective of the country, the hidden thief has become a person who does not obey the constraints of the court and is unruly.

"Anyway, I'll find a way to negotiate with that Su King first."

Leaving a word, Youma set off back to Yangxia County.

I remember that when he came out, he walked in a hidden tunnel, but when he went back, because he had vaguely guessed Zhao Hongrun's intentions, You Ma simply stopped sneaking around, walked in from the county gate openly, and told the Shang Shuijun guarding the city gate that he was a fugitive who escaped from the county prison.

The soldiers and soldiers of Shangshui at the gate of the county were shocked, they had never seen such an "arrogant" fugitive, they had obviously escaped from the city, but they actually came back by themselves.

So, the merchant soldiers on duty at the city gate tied up more than a dozen people from Youma and took them to the county prison without saying a word.

The one guarding the county prison is still Zong Wei Zhou Pu.

When he heard the news that Youma had gone and returned, he was really stunned for a moment.

One had a wound on the forehead, the other had a blue nose and swollen face, and Zhou Pu and Youma, the two injured people, looked at each other, and they both felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"I'm back."

After all, Yuma was the first to speak to break the deadlock.

"Hmm." Zong Wei Zhou Pu responded, he wanted to ask Youma, but he was worried that it would ruin the affairs of His Royal Highness, so he had to hold back his doubts in his heart.

Unexpectedly, You Horse Club took the initiative to speak: "Thanks to Lord Zongwei's secret help in escaping from prison, I have already met Brother Ying Kang, the leader of the Yiqiu people. …… Lord Zongwei can return his life to King Su in this way. ”

"......" Zhou Pu was stunned when he heard this, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.

He originally thought that Youma was a smart person, but now that he heard this, he had a higher opinion of Youma.

"Don't blame Ben Zongwei for teaching you such a miserable lesson......

"In fact, I should thank Zong Wei for that." When he said this, You Ma also felt very awkward, after all, Zhou Pu beat him hard, but he still had to thank the former, which was really awkward to say.

"Your thanks, Ben Zongwei has already received them." Zhou Pu touched the bandage tied on his forehead, his expression was unclear, obviously he was a little dissatisfied with Youma's tricks at that time.

You Ma smiled a little embarrassedly, then hugged his fists and said, "There is something I want to ask Lord Zongwei for help." …… In the next, I also want to ask to see King Su. ”

Zhou Pu glanced at Youma deeply, and suddenly called a few Shangshui soldiers, pointed to Youma and said: "Take this person to the county office, if anyone asks, just say that I mean." ”

"Yes, Lord Zongwei!" The sergeants of the merchant navy bowed their heads and replied.

After about a cup of tea, the horse was taken to the county office, and the merchant water sergeant on duty heard that it was Zongwei Zhou Pu's meaning, and he did not stop it, and let the merchant water soldiers bring the horse tied with ropes to the county office.

At the same time, Zhao Hongrun was waiting in front of the county office, as for what to wait for, it was nothing more than waiting for the reaction of the people of Yiqiu.

If it goes well, it won't be long before he can get the location of the Fuqiu people's lair, so that the golden hook and his Fuqiu people will also become fish and meat on his chopping board, and they won't be able to turn over any tricks.

But what Zhao Hongrun didn't expect was that he didn't wait for the Fuqiu people to send someone to send someone about the location of the Fuqiu people's lair, but waited for Youma, a fugitive who escaped from prison but threw himself into the net.

"Yuma?"

When he heard the message of Shen Yu, the head of the sect's guard, Zhao Hongrun was slightly taken aback and frowned.

Didn't he contact the people of the city? But if he didn't plan to contact the people of Yiqiu, what would he do if he escaped from prison?

Zhao Hongrun, who was suspicious in his heart, ordered someone to bring in the horses waiting outside.

When he saw Youma again and found that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, Zhao Hongrun was stunned, but he was also secretly a little funny in his heart.

After all, Zong Wei Zhou Pu had already told Zhao Hongrun how he secretly helped You Ma escape from prison.

And after laughing a few times, Zhao Hongrun deliberately straightened his face and bluffed: "Youma, do you dare to come back?!" …… You really have the guts, this king is open to you, but you are waiting for the opportunity to escape from prison......"

Unexpectedly, hearing this, You Ma smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness King Su, didn't you secretly ask that Zongwei named Zhou Pu to help me escape from prison?" ”

Zhao Hongrun was stunned, looked up and down a few times in surprise, and at the same time put away the anger on his face, and said with a smile: "So, you brought what this king wants?" ”

Really......

You Ma secretly said in his heart, then shook his head and said: "What King Su wants, only two groups of people know, but one of them will definitely not be handed over to King Su, so there is only another group of people left." …… I want to know, I wonder what price King Su is willing to pay in exchange for that thing? ”

……

Zhao Hongrun frowned, of course he could understand You Ma's words.

It was precisely because he understood that he felt that the evolution of things was slightly different from what he had guessed, and he thought that the Fuqiu people would give up the location of the Fuqiu people's lair, but he didn't expect that this group of people was slightly smarter than he expected, and tried to use this to bargain with him.

It's a pity......

Zhao Hongrun shook his head secretly, and said lightly: "You Ma, it seems that you and that Ying Kang are not suitable for business. ”

"What do you mean?" You Ma asked suspiciously, not understanding why Zhao Hongrun brought the topic to business.

At this time, I heard Zhao Hongrun say lightly: "You must know that judging whether a thing is valuable or not does not lie in the seller, but in the buyer, that is, the market demand." …… Do you believe it or not, if this king changes his mind and no longer wants that thing, the situation of your wandering horses and the people of the city will be even more disadvantaged? ”

You Ma's color changed when he heard this, and he understood the meaning of Zhao Hongrun's words: If you don't hand over that thing to this king, then this king can only cooperate with the Fuqiu people, so that you Youma Zhong and Yiqiu people will still have a way to live?

But after thinking about it, You Ma's face showed a little joy.

Because from this sentence, You Ma could also faintly hear that Zhao Hongrun did not intend to kill all the hidden thieves in Yangxia.

Why is that?

You Ma was very surprised in his heart, because he had always thought that Zhao Hongrun was planning to uproot the Yangxia hidden thief.

He didn't know that the reason why Zhao Hongrun changed his mind was precisely because of Jin Gou's words.

I have to say that although Jin is cunning and cunning, there are a few words that are quite reasonable, and they have won Zhao Hongrun's heart.

For example, he said that Zhao Hongrun lacked a hidden force around him, which made Zhao Hongrun very moved.

It's just that, in view of the various evil deeds of the Fuqiu people, Zhao Hongrun doesn't trust this hidden thief group very much, in contrast, he is more inclined to the Yiqiu people who maintained the law and order in Yangxia County in the past.

But even so, Zhao Hongrun still can't tolerate trading with him as self-righteous as You Ma and posing as a soft threat.

is like what he said to Sima An at the beginning: If the army does not obey the order, there is no need to exist.

In the same way, the disobedient and disloyal hidden thief force, what use does Zhao Hongrun want him to do?

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun must make his position clear, lest these hidden thieves think that they have to be.

After struggling for a long time, Yuma finally let out a long breath and smiled helplessly.

"The people of Yiqiu are willing to offer the location of the camp of the Fuqiu people, and they only hope that King Su can let him live. …… It's not to coerce King Su, it's just to plead. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun finally showed a smile on his face.

I saw him raise his hand, put up two fingers, and said lightly: "This king does not intend to exterminate all the hidden thieves in Yangxia, but he also does not allow too many hidden thief forces to take root here. Two shares, only two shares can be acquiesced. …… Go back and tell Ying Kang what the king said. ”

……

You Ma's face changed color, of course he could understand the deep meaning of Zhao Hongrun's words.
