The Era of Generals

Chapter 489   Red Face White Face

So, isn't Ma Hui actually a spy?

After Ma Hui made his decision, his order was conveyed quickly. Although the lieutenants still hesitated in their hearts, since the other party's order was correct, they might as well read it first before making a conclusion.

The lieutenants who left didn't realize that Wu Peng, who had always been hostile to Ma Hui, didn't leave after the crowd dispersed.

Two people, no, three people, Ma Hui, Wu Peng, and Huang Shi, the three of them sat down in the temporary tent, and the original tense atmosphere became less tense after no one was around. stand up.

Wu Peng was looking at Ma Hui, and Ma Hui was also staring at Wu Peng.

After a while, the two suddenly looked at each other and smiled, as calm as usual.

And Huang Shi, who was beside him, also smiled slightly with the two of them, shaking his head and sighing while laughing.

"Brother, brother, how is my acting skill?"

Wu Peng laughed for a while, stepped forward and patted Ma Hui on the shoulder, but spread his other hand in front of Ma Hui's eyes, and said with lingering fear: "Do you see the sweat on my palm?"

Ma Hui also followed him and sighed, holding Wu Peng's hand behind his back, and said with a serious face: "Brother Wu, I owe you this time, and I will definitely repay you this favor in the future!"

"Where did this come from?"

But Wu Peng shook his hand away, stared wide-eyed and said: "Since you and I are brothers, who will I help if I don't help you?"

"Moreover……"

He paused, his voice was softer, and after he glanced outside the tent, he lowered his voice and said, "Then why did Zheng Yuanyun treat us as human beings? Since he is unkind first, don't blame us for being unrighteous later." !"

Up to this point, both of them were silent, only Huang Shi didn't notice it.

He was not under Zheng Yuanyun's subordinates, so naturally he wouldn't have more feelings, but when he was under Mr. Hua, he had never experienced the suffering of Ma Hui and Wu Peng at all, so he could only sigh along with him at this moment.

It's true that Wu Peng has always been the most violent one. In fact, the three of them had discussed this matter long ago, and from the very beginning, Ma Hui had no intention of hiding it from Wu Peng.

The two had a life-threatening friendship. Back then, Ma Hui even saved Wu Peng's life, and the Wuma and Ma families had been friends for generations, and their children had even been married as children.

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 the Luo Zongbing.

At first, of course, Wu Peng's complexion changed drastically, thinking that Ma Hui was courting death, but when Ma Hui told the plight he was in, Wu Peng was silent.

Both of them are Zheng Yuanyun's confidantes, so they naturally know Zheng Yuanyun's way of dealing with people, and they also know that although Ma Hui was plotted this time, it was after all against Zheng Yuanyun's order, which led to the development of the situation out of bounds. Out of Zheng Yuanyun's control.

In this way, it's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, Zheng Yuanyun will definitely blame Ma Hui.

Poor Ma Hui is just a small lieutenant, how can he bear the interests of a province? If Ma Hui is really responsible for this matter, then he may be fine even if he dies without a place to bury him. Under Zheng Yuanyun's revenge, he was killed by the nine clans!

Nine clans!

Among them, Wu Peng and Ma Hui have a very shallow relationship, and they are even future in-laws. It is hard to say whether this incident will also implicate 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 his old friend's accident, and 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 still has another choice, which is to report the matter to Mr. Zheng immediately, so as to make meritorious deeds and kill himself in this matter.

But firstly, he naturally had a closer friendship with Ma Hui, who was his savior after all, secondly, where would he go to report to Master Zheng?

Wu Peng was taken by Huang Shi to wander around the deep mountains and old forests of Nantes Province for almost a month. He had already been far away from the war. How to make a small report?

And since Ma Hui dared to tell the truth, wouldn't he be wary of him?

In terms of emotion and reason, Wu Peng finally made his own decision after weighing the pros and cons, both public and private.

He decided to help Ma Hui!

Helping Ma Hui is helping himself, and although Ma Hui's move is a risky move, once successful, it will also have great benefits.

You must know that Ma Hui surrendered to Mr. Luo!

Although Mr. Zheng is obviously stronger than Zongbing Luo on the three-acre land in Anluo Province, but what about outside Anluo Province?

As the commander-in-chief of Qingfeng City in the capital, the energy at hand of Mr. Luo is probably an order of magnitude higher than Mr. Zheng's.

It was also a wise move for Ma Hui to choose Mr. Luo over Mr. Zheng.

Under Mr. Zheng's men, Ma Hui, or Wu Peng in other words, is indeed a confidant, but in terms of military rank, they are not yet reused.

But once they help Luo Zongbing succeed here, it is conceivable that the other party will definitely treat them well in the future.

Although it was a dangerous move, it was not without benefits. In Wu Peng's decision, the factor of Luo Zongbing had to be said, and it also accounted for some.

So, after the three of them discussed, they asked Wu Peng to sing this bad face. They questioned Ma Hui a lot along the way, and then because of his radicalism, he stood out among the lieutenants and became the representative of the lieutenants. Speak for them.

The result of doing so has already come out. Sure enough, there is Wu Peng at the front, and his words all express the aspirations of the lieutenants, so no one will go past him to directly express their dissatisfaction to Ma Hui.

Even the letter, because of the trust of the deputy generals in Wu Peng at this time, only allowed him to read a short paragraph, and no one went to observe the full text.

In fact, that letter was of course a forgery, and every character in it was copied by Zheng Yuanyun's handwriting, which was copied by a master calligrapher brought by Chen Ze when Ma Hui was still in Ketan City.

But since it was just an imitation, there was of course a danger of being seen by others, so this 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 was genuine, because it was Zheng Yuanyun who handed it to Xiao Du, and then Gu Qingfeng snatched it.

Since then, after hearing that Juhe City had been breached, the agitated lieutenants were gradually calmed down by the singing of Ma Hui, Wu Peng, and Huang Shi. Wu Peng even gave a hint that when he returned to Anluo After the province, the matter will be handed over to the Military Aircraft Department for decision.

And the Air Force Department...

The chief of military aircraft in Anluo Province is Mr. Hua!

Mr. Hua was on Chen Ze's side, and he was the one to make decisions, so what else could Ma Hui do?
