The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() What is soft does not become hard.That's what Lin Xie did. When he realized that he lowered his status and had a good talk with Ma Yue, but the other party refused to back down at all, and seemed confident instead, he had no choice but to threaten him with words.However, his threatening words were not all empty words, at least this was indeed Linjiawu's territory, and if they really wanted to do something, Ma Yue and the others would never leave here alive.

But after hearing his threat, Ma Yue not only was not afraid, but laughed instead: "Haha, grandpa, you are so joking. Don't say that you are by our side now, how dare you people from the Lin family not think about you?" If An Wei wants to attack us, just because Lin Lie is here is enough to make you dare not act rashly.

"Besides, all of our 500 people are elites in the army. I dare not say that with one enemy a hundred, we are still sure to deal with a dozen or so people. If your Lin family wants to wipe us out here, I am afraid that you will have to pay a very heavy price. The price, have you made up your mind? Also, if something happens to us, my father and the 1 people in Long County will definitely not sit idly by. At that time, it will be time for your Lin family to perish. Is Mrs. Lin really willing to risk the entire Linjiawu and fight us?" After saying this, the old god Ma Yue looked at Lin Xie on the ground, waiting for his response.

Lin Xie obviously didn't expect Ma Yue to see things so deeply and thoroughly, and he was put here with just a few words.After a long while, he coughed a few times and said, "What you said is indeed reasonable. But you also overlooked one thing, that is, the current situation in Xiliang. Your Ma family has some difficulties in protecting themselves, so how could you treat us like this?" What about using troops? As long as you mobilize troops, I'm afraid other forces will follow suit."

"The old man is right, but they will never help your Lin family. Because all the people they sent have died in your Lin family, I'm afraid they hope you will suffer the same end." Ma Yue said here After a pause, his tone eased a bit: "So old man, now you and our Ma family are already in the same boat, now you should think about how to help us tide over the difficulties, and we will not treat you badly at that time." It’s for you. This is very beneficial to both of you and me, and I hope the old lady can think twice.”

Ma Yue is hard first and then soft, cutting off all your other thoughts first, and then talking to you about cooperation.Although Lin Xie knew that this was Ma Yue's strategy, he had to admit that what he said was somewhat reasonable, and now he had no other way to go.

After a long silence, Lin Xie spoke again: "You said you were here to ask for food. But the food stored in our Linjiawu is clearly not enough to meet the needs of your army. Two years ago, in order to help Dong Zhuo use troops against the Qiang people, our Lin family has put away all the food stored After taking them all out, it is impossible to hoard this much food in just a few years, after all, this is Xiliang, not the rich land of the Central Plains."

"The difficulty of the Lin family is also understandable, so I didn't come here empty-handed to ask for food." Seeing that the other party finally loosened his tone, Ma Yue's attitude naturally became a little bit better, and he also expressed his sincerity: "I came here with some belongings. Although I can't buy as much as [-] oaks in grain, I can still buy [-] to [-] oaks. It's just because we don't have contacts in this area, so we thought of asking the Lin family help."

"Huh? You brought your belongings?" Lin Xie was obviously taken aback, but since Ma Yue said so, it can't be a lie. Come, with my Lin family's business in Xiliang and other parts of the Central Plains, we should be able to buy a batch of grain."

"Don't worry, grandpa, I always keep my word and don't use big words to deceive people. As long as the Lin family is willing to help us through the food shortage this time, our Ma family will definitely have a future report. The grandpa also said that the situation in Xiliang is changing now, and we just happen to Join hands with each other, maybe we will be the ones who will unify the entire Xiliang in the future." Ma Yue lost no time in proposing his own idea to Lin Xie.

But Lin Xie just smiled lightly, noncommittal.For an old man like him who has experienced too many ups and downs, such unfounded promises are nothing at all.But now, in order to protect himself and not offend everyone, he has no choice but to vote for the Ma family.As for the series of things that may be triggered in the future, we can only take one step at a time.

"Okay, then the old man agrees to your request on behalf of the Lin family. I still have five thousand grains in the Linjiawu. You can take four thousand and use them first. Other old men will try to buy them from other places!" Determined, Lin Xie didn't delay any longer, and directly gave his plan.

"Then there is the old lady Lao. On behalf of the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Long County, I would like to thank the grandfather for his generosity." Seeing this, Ma Yue also stood up happily and saluted him. This was the first time he was so polite today.

Seeing this, Lin Xie also had a smile on his face. After all, it is always a good thing to eliminate a possible battle.However, there was still something in his heart that he couldn't let go of, so he said at this moment: "There is still one thing I don't understand, please ask Mr. Ma to explain my confusion. Although my Lin family is not a military important place, no one will spread rumors indiscriminately. You But how do you know there are these people here?"

This really made Lin Xie feel very uneasy. If he didn't know who brought Ma Yue and the others, his Lin family would definitely stumble over this matter in the future.But now, since the two parties have reached an agreement, Ma Yue must not hide anything.

When Ma Yue saw him asking about this, he also smiled.In fact, even if he doesn't ask, Ma Yue will mention it later, because it will only benefit him.After hesitantly thinking for a while, Ma Yue said: "This time we came to Linjiawu, almost none of us had contact with the Lin family. The only person who dealt with us was the person he told us about this time. It's over."

"Lin Chong..." After hearing this, Lin Xie's face changed suddenly, but he recovered quickly, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be him. This is understandable, after all, he has a relationship with your Ma family." Not shallow..."

Ma Yue just smiled at this and didn't say anything.

After dawn, Ma Yue and the others had received three thousand grains of oak, and under the escort of the Linjiawu people, they left this place with them and went straight to Long County.

And not long after leaving Linjiawu, Ma Chao finally couldn't help asking his brother: "Second brother, why did you finally tell Mr. Lin that this is the secret of the family report? In fact, he just slipped away on this matter for a while. It’s just that we caught the question, aren’t you hurting him?” He sighed worriedly as he spoke.

But Ma Yue laughed: "Don't worry, big brother, this time it was Uncle Lin who helped us get into this matter, how could I harm him? On the contrary, I am helping him!"

"Help him? Why can't I see this at all?"

"Uncle Lin is by no means comparable to ordinary people. Could it be that elder brother can't tell that in fact he deliberately let us know that those people are in Linjiawu and took us to that courtyard on purpose? Now the relationship between our Ma family and Lin family has changed again. It's getting closer, and it's time to let him stand out." Ma Yue explained.

Although Ma Chao was still a little puzzled about this, his younger brother had always acted in a very measured manner. He must be right when he said so, so he didn't ask any more questions.But couldn't help it, Ma Chao still glanced at Lin Jiawu behind him, as if he still felt a little uneasy.

?????

In Linjiawu, in the inner hall, Lin Chong had already been called to Lin Xie, and Lin Lie, who knew what had happened, was looking at the brothers in the clan with anger on his face: "Okay, I really didn't expect that our Lin family would have such a person like you!" You are a guy who eats inside and out. How dare you help outsiders to plot against our own people!"

Seeing his son talking like this, Lin Xie couldn't help frowning, but he didn't reprimand, but just looked at Lin Chong: "What do you have to say? Did you really tell them about this?"

"That's right!" After the two words came out, Lin Chong's body suddenly stopped being hunchbacked and humble as before, but straightened up suddenly, his eyes stared back at Lin Xie and his son: "I told them where those people were in secret. Brothers of the Ma family, the purpose is to cut off your thoughts of thinking about the first and second ends, and it is for the future of our Lin family."

"Hmph, you still don't know what's wrong, and you dare to speak such nonsense!"

"The Ma family has Ma Chao and Ma Yue, so they will definitely be able to achieve a great career in Xiliang. Why don't we choose them?" If you think about it, I'm afraid that my Lin family will really be over by then."

After hearing this, Lin Xie couldn't help but feel that there was some truth.In fact, judging from Ma Yue's decisive actions this time, it can be seen that this son is definitely not a thing in the pool, and his future prospects are limitless.It is indeed a good choice for them to be able to cooperate with them now.But he still couldn't bear the betrayal of the family by the children of the family, even though he was playing for the good of the family.

Lin Lie also thought of this level, so he immediately said: "Even if what you said is reasonable, it is unforgivable for you, the Lin family, to collude with outsiders. My Lin family has always been kind to you, but you did such a thing , It really makes people feel cold! Father, it is clearly written in the family law that such a person who betrays the family must not be lightly forgiven!" This incident made him embarrassing, Lin Lie naturally needed to vent, Ma Yue He couldn't afford to provoke someone, and the situation couldn't be changed, so if he wanted to vent his anger, the only target was Lin Chong who had revealed the secret in front of him.When he said this, Lin Lie stared at Lin Chong with deep malice, wanting to completely crush him from the inside out.
