The Era of Generals

Chapter 440   Ma Hui Has No Choice

"Sounding Arrow?"

Ma Hui raised his brows and heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time, he was really afraid that he would be useless to Chen Ze and others. If so, it meant that he was useless.

A person who is worthless, will Mr. Luo take him under his command?

But fortunately, what Chen Ze wanted was exactly what he had.

The sound of the arrow sent the letter, this was indeed explained when Zheng Yuanyun left Ketan City and handed over 500,000 elite soldiers to him, so Ma Hui could really help.

Just as he expected, just now Ma Hui asked the messenger soldier to report the situation to Zheng Yuanyun. Chen Ze did not stop him on the spot, but he had already passed the order through the system to his confidants who stayed outside. The messenger soldier had just left the city lord's mansion when he was beaten unconscious with a stick, and is currently being secretly held in the firewood room.

"I don't know what ringing arrow Master Chen wants me to pass?"

Ma Hui hurriedly asked.

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

Chen Ze smiled, didn't say the loud arrows to be sent, paused, and said: "However, I've always been curious about the Qingyang Empire's method of sending loud arrows, I don't know if General Ma can tell you something, so I can explain My curiosity?"

Ma Hui's heart trembled, and he said: "Then why not, I have the letter book that Mr. Zheng handed over to me at the time, and Mr. Chen will know it after reading 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 obey the command of the two, but after firing the arrow, he sent out the opposite content, or directly warned Zheng Yuanyun.

In this way, this information can not be left to Ma Hui's use, if he is still loyal to Zheng Yuanyun, then this matter will be serious, Zheng Yuanyun may not be able to make a comeback when 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 letter with an arrow, but he didn't say the content of the letter. Even if Ma Hui wanted to fake it, he couldn't do it right now.

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

As for handing over the signal book, will the opponent kick him away?

What choice does Ma Hui have now?

Chen Ze would discuss with him even if he thinks highly of him, if he can't get it right, he will be killed directly, and it will not be difficult to find the signal book slowly.

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

Thinking of this, Ma Hui did not dare to 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, and it really listed in detail the meanings of the different sounds of each arrow after it shot into the sky.

The signal is not thick, after all, it can only be used for emergency message transmission, if the sound of the arrow is too complicated, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be misheard during the sound transmission.

It was only two pages, and Chen Ze understood it after a few glances.

He nodded, and returned the signal book to Ma Hui, saying, "Thank you, General Ma, then the general will have to worry about it at this time."

"You just need to start now, after you get to Xilong City..."

He leaned in front of Ma Hui, and after explaining things like this, Ma Hui nodded again and again, and at the end, he was a little puzzled and said, "That's all?"

Chen Ze smiled, "That's all. Since General Ma is already one of his own, how can I put you in danger? You only need to shoot this loud arrow, and the rest will naturally be arranged."

"It's just that..."

Ma Hui calmed down, reorganized Chen Ze's explanation in his mind, finally nodded heavily, and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Chen, and Mr. General Soldier, I, Ma Hui, will definitely do my best to solve 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 Mr. Zheng treated me well in the past, I also know this lord's temper very well, so..."

His eyes dimmed a bit, and he sighed: "For my Ma family, I have to do this matter no matter what, so please rest assured, Ma Hui, I will never betray you halfway!"

After the words fell, Chen Ze and Luo Zongbing glanced at each other, knowing that Ma Hui was expressing his determination to them, lest Chen Ze and Luo Zongbing still didn't trust him.

Chen Ze said: "General Ma, you can rest assured. Even if you don't believe me, you should still believe that the general is a soldier. What kind of status is he? How can he be someone who goes back on what he says?"

General Luo also stepped forward, patted Ma Hui on the shoulder lightly, and said frankly: "General Ma, you don't have to worry about it. What I, Luo Bei, say are like arrows shot out. There is no turning back to say it. You just need to do your best in this matter, even if the result is not satisfactory, I will never renege on my promise and get fat!"

Ma Hui took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

What he wanted was this promise. After all, his identity was too sensitive, and he was Zheng Yuanyun's confidant. Of course, he chose to vote for Chen Ze because of self-protection, but this required others to truly believe in him.

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

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

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

With the assurance from Zongbing Luo, Ma Hui relaxed a lot, and immediately bid farewell to Chen Ze and Zongbing Luo, and went to do what Chen Ze had told him.

Only Chen Ze and Luo Zongbing remained in the meeting hall.

"You...really trust him?"

It wasn't until this time that General Luo asked out his doubts.

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 needed to stick to Ketan City to ensure that nothing happened. Even if there were any problems in the battle ahead, as long as he did his part, It is impossible for Zheng Yuanyun to blame him.

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

If he had considered it more carefully at the beginning, things would never have been like this.

But right now, it is impossible for Ma Hui to think about getting military exploits from Zheng Yuanyun anymore, and even his own life is in danger, so if he doesn't want to die with Zheng Yuanyun in his arms, the choice now is the most correct choice .
