Chapter 536 Hu Ma Treats You to a Drink

"It seems that we have overestimated him..."

In the black sedan, a woman's voice sounded with a little smile: "I thought that this grain-protecting general might be the emperor seed picked by my cousin, but seeing that he looks like a mud-legged man in the mountains, I feel that his vision is not so low."

"Now, that guy actually abandoned the people around him and ran here alone. Isn't he so stupid that he didn't even have a little vigilance?"

"I think he is just a mountain bandit, why is it worth making such a fuss?"

"..."

The general Tianming next to him had a gloomy face, and seemed to dislike the way these people said the words "emperor seed" in a contemptuous tone. After a pause, he whispered: "This person has killed one of my altar masters, one deputy altar master, and dozens of followers."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence."

Sedan The person in the room said calmly: "The skills of the sect are all kinds of strange, but not all of them can be used in front of others. The altar masters under you do have their own skills, but most of them are not the right way and cannot resist the blood of the living."

Hearing her say this, the Tianming general's face obviously darkened for a moment, and suddenly said: "Since we have found it, then..."

"... You can't let me go even to a Red Lantern Club, right?"

"..."

"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go."

The person in the sedan said: "Even if it is the Red Lantern Club, I won't stop you, it's just that the time has not come yet."

"Since that person has taken the initiative to deliver it to the door, why not go and get it?"

"I'll go with you!"

"..."

She said she would go with him, but when she gave the order, the sedan bearer next to her lifted the sedan directly, and the Tianming general could only follow.

At one time, a black sedan chair, hundreds of black riders, with lanterns full of moths leading the way, and in the invisible shadows around, there were whimpering ghosts accompanying them all the way, and they gently swayed through the night and headed straight for the Qingshi Town Village.

…

…

"Brother, you were not afraid before..."

And at this time in the village, Hu Ma met Yang Gong's worried and expectant eyes, and pondered for a long time before slowly pouring wine for Yang Gong and himself, and slowly said: "But you are afraid now, have you ever thought about why?"

"I..."

Yang Gong had not read much, and was most afraid of other people's questions. He was eager to speak, but after saying a word, he fell silent again.

After a long time, he whispered: "I had no way to survive before. What else could I do if I didn't fight hard?"

"It's the same now."

Hu Ma sighed softly and said: "There are actually two ways to fight for life."

"One is to live a miserable life. As long as I don't die, I can live. It doesn't necessarily mean that I live a good life. As long as there are people worse than me around, I will be satisfied."

"The other is to fight back. No matter who the noble master is or who is the incense master, who dares to provoke me, I will bite the bullet and go after him... and you have always been the latter, and I admire you."

"Back then, you dared to go against the great incense master Zheng in the Red Lantern Society and fight for your future with your real ability. Who wouldn't admire you?"

"..."

Yang Gong listened. If it were in the past, he would only feel proud, but now, he is a little entangled.

"I am..."

"..."

Hu Ma waved his hand. He had just been listening to Yang Gong, but now he wanted him to listen to him. He said slowly: "Before in the Red Lantern Society, besides opposing the great incense master Zheng, you also had another way to live:"

"That is to climb up by stepping on your brother's head. Ignore the people around you and go to Zheng's place to kowtow. Don't you think you can't get a bowl of rice to eat?"

"Look at it now, how much difference is there?"

He sighed softly and said: "Before, you fought with a group of brothers who couldn't survive. Now, you are fighting with these people who can't survive. Are you ready to draw your sword like before, or do you want to abandon yourself and live on your own?"

"I think if you leave the things in the mountains behind and run to the Truth Church alone, the other party will tolerate you."

"Even if you don't go to the Truth Church, as long as you It is okay to ignore the things in this mountain, take a lot of treasures by yourself, hide somewhere, and live your life of luxury. "

"But the world will become more and more chaotic. You can hide from things here, but you can't hide from things there. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for the next while. The people in this mountain can't hide even for this year..."

"Everyone has no way to survive, so they will follow you to death. What are you going to do?"

At this point, he sighed softly, picked up the wine bowl, and said: "On the contrary, this opportunity to kowtow has always been there from the beginning to now..."

After listening to Hu Ma's words, Yang Gong just stood there. He tried to understand. He felt that he understood some of it, and some of it he didn't understand, but he understood some key points:

There is no way to survive.

But there is still a chance to kowtow...

Rather than saying that Hu Ma's words moved him, it was Hu Ma's eyes at this time that reminded him of the time when he first joined the Red Lantern Club. He suddenly gritted his teeth, as if he was angry with himself, and then picked up the wine bowl:

"No one taught me since I was a child, so I only know one way to live..."

"..."

"Then remember this way of living."

Hu Ma clinked his glasses with him and drank the bowl of strong liquor. His eyes were slightly red. He looked at Yang Gong seriously and said, "Since you came here, I knew you wouldn't choose anything else. If you really knew how to choose, You would have run away by now, what are you still looking for me for?"

"But since you are here, I can tell you the truth, you don't need to worry about anything..."

"The other party may be powerful, but the people around you are more powerful. Don't look at how many rare people and treasures they have. As long as you always remember that you value the friendship of brothers, the rare people and treasures around you will not be less than those people in the Truth Church..."

"As long as you remember, you have no advantages compared to others, but the only thing is that your background is better than others..."

"You started as the Red Lantern Society's Hongxiang brother, and when you The current general who protects grain is not relying on any ingenious strategies or reputation, but because these people choose to believe in you. "

"..."

Yang Gong was shocked when he heard his words, and his expression seemed a little difficult: "But, but my father-in-law said that this is a fool, it is easy to fool..."

"Yes."

Hu Ma looked at him and answered seriously: "Your father-in-law is right, you also need to believe him more, but what I want to tell you now is something on another level. Those people are indeed the easiest to fool in the world..."

"But easy to fool , doesn't mean they don't know, they are the most stubborn and the strongest. "

"You have to respect them, but also be afraid of them..."

"As long as you remember this, then from this moment on, 99% of the people in this world will stand on your side, then what do you have to be afraid of in the future?"

"..."

"Ka La..."

Even Yang Gong didn't expect Hu Ma to suddenly say this to him. As a smart and intuitive person, he had already vaguely sensed what Hu Ma said to him before, but the last words were completely beyond his expectations.

Hu Ma's words were simple and straightforward, but there was a direct and strong blood volume that hit his heart all of a sudden.

He felt that he had heard something amazing, and even his lips trembled. After a long time, he trembled and said, "Brother...you, what did you tell me?"

Hu Ma smiled at him and said, "It's some principles that have not appeared in this world yet. I have only learned the basics. If you want to ask, you can understand that this is the secret of the Book of Heaven."

Yang Gong was stunned for a moment, but he did not doubt Hu Ma's words. He just shook his head instinctively: "No, how can the Book of Heaven be so simple? My father-in-law asked me to learn the art of war and read articles, but I was confused and couldn't understand..."

"But what you said is not confusing at all, but It just makes people listen to it... It's exciting to listen to it!"

"..."

"That's why it's called the Book of Heaven, isn't it?"

Hu Ma looked at Yang Gong seriously and said, "The Book of Heaven that I'm passing on to you is valuable because it can be learned by everyone. It's simple and direct, so you won't be afraid anymore."

"What I just told you is not even a solution. There are many more powerful ones. Do you want to listen?"

"..."

Yang Gong was so excited that his face flushed. The depression he had when he entered the manor suddenly disappeared. He clenched his teeth and nodded vigorously. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a gust of wind outside the manor.

There was a faint sound of galloping horses approaching quickly, accompanied by some ghosts crying and howling. Even the manor gate that Yang Gong had just tied was suddenly blown by the wind. The two slightly loose door panels also swayed and made a fierce collision sound.

"Not good..."

Yang Gong was suddenly startled, stood up and grabbed the knife beside him, and said in surprise: "It's bad..."

"Are they really here to catch me?"

"..."

"Don't worry, sit down and continue drinking."

Hu Ma listened to the noise outside, but his expression was calm, and he said to Yang Gong: "This wine is my treat. Since I treat you, I guarantee that you will drink happily and no one dares to disturb you."

While speaking, he turned his head slightly and saw Xiao Hongtang, who was holding his chin and watching their boring feast, and was also curiously looking outside the manor.

Seeing Hu Ma's eyes looking at him, he nodded slightly, and Xiao Hongtang finally became happy this time, hurried to the wall, grabbed the dusty punishment knife, and climbed over the wall.

Yang Gong was stunned, looked at the little ghost who climbed over the wall, and then looked at Hu Ma with a calm expression, not knowing what to do.

Hu Ma glanced at him and said, "You haven't answered my question yet. Are you ready to listen to what I have to say?"
