The last three kingdoms

Chapter 716 Self-doubt

Magron took the letter and took a look. As soon as he glanced at it, his heart was in his throat. Even though it was the middle of winter, there were still dense beads of sweat on Magron's forehead. In the letter, Liu Yin very straightforwardly put forward the condition for the peace negotiation, which is to exchange the head of Ma Gelong's head.

If Peng Hu agrees, Ma Gelong's life must be in danger. I'm afraid he won't even have the chance to get out of the big tent, but judging from Peng Hu's attitude, Ma Gelong obviously hasn't agreed to Liu Yin's request, but despite So, he was still not at ease. After all, Liu Yin's offer was very attractive. One head can be exchanged for peace. Such a deal is very cost-effective.

Ma Gelong rolled his eyes and decided to advance by retreating. He suddenly knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands to Peng Hu and said, "My lord, since Liu Yin wants the head of my subordinate, then I will give it to him. As long as Ma can do it with If one dies in exchange for Lu Shuihu's long-term peace, then Ma will die well, and there will be no complaints at all."

At the critical moment, Ma Gelong was very clear-headed. If Peng Hu really wanted to kill, then everything would be out of Ma Gelong's control. No matter what Ma Gelong did or said, It's all useless, but if Peng Hu is still hesitating or hasn't made a decision, then Ma Gelong's words will definitely impress Peng Hu, at least for the time being, he won't want to kill again.

Peng Hu immediately laughed and said, "Such a small plan is nothing to worry about. What's more, this king already regards the leader of the horse as a brother. This head can be cut off, the blood can be shed, and the brotherhood cannot be lost. Brother Ma can rest assured. As long as this king is around, absolutely no one will dare to touch a hair of Brother Ma."

Ma Gelong thanked and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Ma will repay him with death."

Peng Hu chuckled and said: "Brother Ma came just in time. I have ordered my servants to prepare hot wine. It's fine today. How about you brothers getting drunk?"

At this time, Ma Gelong still has the mind to drink, so he resigned: "I have to come down in a hurry, there are still things to do in the camp, I can't have a banquet with the king today, let's talk about it another day."

Peng Hu didn't force him to stay any longer, he said: "It's very important now, Brother Ma needs to defend Zuoying with all his heart, you and I are two strongholds leaning on each other, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. As long as you and I work together, we will surely defeat Liu Yin."

Magron agreed, took his leave and left.

After getting out of Peng Hu's warm tent, a gust of cold wind blew in, and Magron felt the chill immediately. However, compared to the tension inside the big tent, Magron felt relaxed at the moment. He got on his horse and left quickly. He also rushed back to his camp.

Ma Gecheng had already been waiting in the camp. When he saw Ma Gelong coming back, he rushed to meet him and asked, "Brother, what is the purpose of the Shu people sending envoys here?"

Magron jumped off his horse and threw down the reins. A groom came to take away Magron's mount. Magron didn't answer Magron's question directly, but returned to his handsome man first. among.

Ma Gecheng had doubts on his face, so he had to follow Ma Gelong back to the tent, but after entering the tent, Ma Gecheng clearly saw that Ma Gelong's face was much more serious and gloomy, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

This time it was Ma Gelong who took the initiative to speak: "Shu Kingdom sent envoys to see Peng Hu to negotiate a peace, but the condition of their peace negotiation is to exchange my head."

Ma Gecheng was startled when he heard this, and he was full of astonishment, and lost his voice: "Did Peng Hu agree?"

Ma Gelong laughed sullenly, and said, "If Peng Hu agrees, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to return to the Qiang camp."

Ma Gecheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, since Ma Gelong had returned safely, it proved that this visit to the tent was nothing but a false alarm.

Ma Gelong didn't think so. Although Peng Hu vowed to advance and retreat with Malan Qiang to defend against the enemy, Ma Gelong knew very well that all Peng Hu's statements were based on the interests of the Lushui Hu people. Yes, and once the real interests of Lushuihu people are really harmed, Peng Hu will throw them away like a rag.

Magron still has this self-knowledge, no matter how kind Peng Hu calls him, it is impossible to get rid of the hatred in Magron's heart.

Before the Shu people used their troops, the Malan Qiang people and the Lushui Hu people did not hesitate to fight for territory. Now the hands of both sides are covered with each other's blood. I am afraid that Ma Gelong will never experience such an unforgettable hatred. Forget it, and he is also very clear, don't look at Peng Hu's yelling as brothers and sisters, when they really break up, Peng Hu will show his fangs at the first time, and bite the Malan Qiang man fiercely .

There are no permanent friends or enemies in the world, and there are permanent interests. If Peng Hu really abandoned Magron for the benefit of his own clan, it would not be surprising at all.

Therefore, in this matter, Magron warned himself that he must remain vigilant, and don't know what happened if his head fell to the ground.

In the past two days, Ma Gelong has been sending people to keep an eye on Lu Shuihu's camp. He concluded that if the Shu people and Lu Shuihu start the peace negotiation process, they will definitely not send envoys just once, and there must be follow-up means.

Sure enough, as Ma Gelong expected, Shu Kingdom sent another messenger the next day, and went to Lushuihu camp again, and judging from the time when the messenger left, it was obvious that he stayed longer than when he first came.

Magron didn't go to Lushuihu camp rashly this time, but just sat in his own camp, thinking silently.

Ma Gelong was a suspicious person by nature, and the repeated sending of envoys by the Shu State must be the result of Peng Hu's acquiescence. If Peng Hu categorically refused, the Shu people might not have sent envoys over and over again. However, the reason why Peng Hu did this, in Ma Gelong's view, must have another deep meaning.

If Peng Hu had eaten the weight and made up his mind, he could destroy the book and kill the envoy. If Liu Yin dared to send an envoy, he would kill one of them. If he dared to send two envoys, he would kill both of them. , In this way, Liu Yin's thoughts can be completely cut off.But Peng Hu didn't do that. Obviously, he still cared about Liu Yin's olive branch. The two communicated with each other tacitly, but it seemed that Ma Gelong was pushed to the top of the storm.

Ma Gelong was worried and didn't think about food and drink. He followed the development of this matter closely. He thought that the contact between the Shu people and Lu Shuihu would come to an end, but what broke Ma Gelong was that on the third day, the Shu Kingdom still sent The number of envoys coming was more than the sum of the previous two times, and they stayed in Lushuihu camp for a longer time this time.
