Chapter 459: 1 Box of Gold
Xuanying said, "General Ma, do you still recognize me?"
Ma Yan thought for a moment and remembered the young man who escaped the disaster that year, so he said: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be you, little brother. I can forget anyone, but I will never forget you, brother, haha..."
Xuanying said: "General Ma, I will always remember the kindness you gave me back then, and I came here to repay you this time."
Ma Yan laughed again and said, "It's just a small matter. If Brother Xuan hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it long ago!"
Xuanying said: "General Yu Ma, it's a small matter for you, but it's a big matter for me to survive." Then he waved his hand behind him.
A soldier in bronze armor came up carrying a red wooden box one foot square, and dropped it in front of Ma Yan with a bang. It looked extremely heavy.
Ma Yan muttered in his heart, thinking, is this thing a gift for me? But he didn't know what was inside to make it so heavy.
Xuanying waved his hand, and a burst of energy flew out, and he opened the lid of the wooden box, saying: "Here are two thousand gold shell coins to repay the general for the meal he gave me that year."
Ma Yan looked at the golden light in the wooden box and was immediately shocked. He thought, "As a general of Bai Juncheng, I command 250 people. My monthly salary is just over three gold coins. You gave me 2,000 coins at once. How many years of salary should this be for me? One year, two years, three years, four years... I couldn't figure it out at the moment."
Ma Yan calmed down and said, "Brother Xuan, I am not a greedy person. How can I afford such a big gift from you? You...you should take it back."
A sturdy and silver-armored soldier walked out from the team behind Xuanying. He looked like a silver lieutenant and shouted, "Just take the soldiers when the general asks you to. We are all soldiers. Why are you being so fussy?"
Xuanying waved his hand, and the silver captain dared not speak anymore and retreated back to the team.
Ma Yan thought, after all, I am also a general of Bai Juncheng. I am not afraid of others handing me knives and daggers, so why should I be afraid of people handing me money? But this person will never give me such a big box of gold shells just because I gave him a few steamed buns. Could it be that he needs my help with something difficult?
He said, "Well, General Xuan is so generous and magnanimous, I will not refuse it. I will accept this box of gold. But I wonder if the general has anything else to do in my Yixianya Pass?"
Xuanying's expression did not change at all from beginning to end, and he had a cold and serious expression. He said, "There is indeed something I need General Ma's help with."
Ma Yan's heart tightened, thinking that he really had something to ask me, and he wondered what it was. Such a big box of gold was not so easy to earn. He cleared his throat and said, "Brother Xuan, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you." The implication was that if it was something I couldn't do, then I was sorry. Although you are so arrogant, I, Ma, can't take that risk for you, so you can just take the gold back.
Xuanying said, "General Ma, please let us pass."
Ma Yan was a little bit unconvinced and said, "It's just... just letting you pass. There's no... there's no other thing for me, Ma, to do?"
The sturdy silver lieutenant jumped out of the team and said, "What else do you want to do? Help us kill the people of Sand. Do you dare to do it?"
Ma Yan was very puzzled and asked, "Kill the people of Sha? Why kill them? These people of Sha are just like us Cangmu people. They are all honest people. There is no need to kill them, right?"
The silver officer seemed to have heard a very funny joke, and laughed loudly, saying: "This is the funniest joke I, Zhou Tenghu, have ever heard in my life! Are the people of Chisha country really honest citizens? How did they occupy Bicheng? Biye was also driven to the west bank of Kunhe River. I guess the red soldiers will deal with your Baijun City soon. Will you still think they are honest citizens by then?"
Seeing his rude words, Ma Yan couldn't help but get angry and said, "Don't worry about the affairs of Baijun City, Lord Yinwei of Jinyang City. The destruction of Bicheng was caused by the excessive strength of the Red Sand Country and the second was that General Biye underestimated the enemy and didn't expect the two great spiritual kings of the Claw and Hoof tribes to come out together. But we have three great generals in Baijun City. One is stationed near Juhou Pass and the other is stationed near Zhulang Hill, not far from the Thunder Antelope Cliff of Beast Mountain. The two armies are mutually supporting. The famous General Mu Longguang is stationed on the side of Bianshan near Xiaolishui. No matter which direction the Red Army comes from, our Baijun City can deal with it calmly. It will never be like Bicheng, which was breached in a few months!"
Zhou Tenghu wanted to say more, but Xuanying stopped him. Xuanying said, "General Ma, just let us pass. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Ma Yan was relieved and said, "Brother Xuan, do you... do you have the official certificate?"
Xuanying said, "Of course." With a slight wave of his right hand, another soldier from the back of the team ran forward and held a stack of more than 20 official certificates in front of Ma Yan, saying, "Please check, General Ma."
Ma Yan was just asking casually. Xuan Ying was so generous and had such a high status that he would let him pass even without any documents, not to mention that they really had these things. He took the documents and flipped through them, saying, "I think there is no problem. Brother Xuan, you can pass anytime."
Xuanying didn't say anything else, just nodded, then waved back again, ready to pass.
Ma Yan said quickly: "Brother Xuan, since you have come to my small Yixianyaguan camp this time, why don't you have a drink and a meal before leaving? I will ask them to light a fire and cook right away."
Xuanying just said coldly, "No need", without even looking at Ma Yan, and walked away.
Seeing him suddenly so cold, Ma Yan couldn't help but feel angry. He thought to himself, didn't you say that the steamed bread I gave you saved your life? Although you gave me a big box of gold in return, these things are not as important as saving your life. Why did you become so rude after thanking me? But because of Xuanying's momentum, he didn't dare to say a word of complaint.
Hearing the creaking of the vehicle, he noticed that there was a carriage following behind them. The carriage was not covered with curtains, but a large wooden box made of solid wood, about eight feet long, and nearly five feet high and wide.
The large wooden box was painted black and tightly covered, so no one knew what was inside.
Then he said, "Brother Xuan, this car can't pass the test."
Xuanying looked back at him and suddenly realized what was going on. He said, "I forgot that the carriage is too big." He then signaled everyone to stop, unfastened the carriage to the side of the road, and turned around to continue walking.
