Chapter 191 [Quite embarrassing] (Part 2)
After Ma Yongping succeeded, he was pretty good to him, but Ma Yongqing always felt that his kindness towards him was more like paying off his debts, rather than from the heart, and even less sincere and pure than Yan Tuojiang.
The kidnapping that happened in the General's Mansion was a huge blow to Ma Yongqing. She began to re-examine her relationship with Ma Yongping and re-evaluate her position in his mind.
If a man is not punished for himself, heaven and earth are destroyed. Ma Yongqing still remembers what his mother said to her before her death, and warned her not to believe men easily. Her mother only realized that truth through her life's tragic encounter, but Ma Yongqing did not understand her mother's words. She inherited the courage to do everything for love from her mother, but now reality has made her understand the truth that her mother had already warned her.
Her life is only ten days left. Ma Yongping would have been happy if he knew this news, right? Maybe he didn't care at all. He had achieved his goal through himself, and his life or death was no longer so important to him.
Ma Yongqing often thought of his kindness after Yan Tuojiang lost power. Whether she liked Yan Tuojiang or not, she could be sure that Yan Tuojiang really liked her in the past.
Yan Tuojiang sat quietly in the cell. He was transferred to the cellar of the Marshal's Mansion today. Ma Yongping never appeared again and did not negotiate terms with him. Yan Tuojiang was not in a hurry. This dilemma made him see many people and things clearly, and also calmed down his mind like never before.
The sound of the lock opening came from outside, and Yan Tuojiang was still motionless. His hands and feet were shackled, and blood had been ground out of the place where he touched his skin. Only by moving as little as possible can he reduce the pain.
When the familiar body fragrance sneaked into the room, Yan Tuojiang's burly heart started to throbbing for no reason. He had already guessed who the other party was after seeing the person coming.
Ma Yongqing held a horse lantern in his hand, wearing a thin gray cloak, and the orange light illuminated the dark cellar.
Yan Tuojiang held his head up, his messy hair and gray beard made him look old and haggard, but his eyes were still burning and unyielding. Looking at the woman in front of him who had made him love come to life and pushed him into the water and fire with his own hands, Yan Tuojiang didn't know how to express his anger. His throat moved, and finally he just greeted him: "Here is here!"
Ma Yongqing nodded. Seeing Yan Tuojiang's miserable appearance now, she felt a tingling pain for no reason. She realized that she really regretted it. People often don't know how to cherish it when they have it, and they will regret it if they lose it.
Yan Tuojiang said: "Is there any cigarette?"
Ma Yongqing shook his head and suddenly felt a sore in his nose. She remembered that Yan Tuojiang was addicted to smoking, but later because he didn't like it, he reluctantly gave up and quit smoking with his strong willpower.
Yan Tuojiang smiled miserably and said, "I forgot that you don't smoke. Even if you smoke, you won't give it to me..."
Ma Yongqing said: "I'm here to find you, actually..."
Yan Tuojiang said: "For my secret vault, right? Your brother asked you to come? If I don't tell you the location of the vault, you will immediately face the dilemma of not being able to pay military pay."
Ma Yongqing remained silent.
Yan Tuojiang said: "Actually, before your brother attacked me, I was ready to give way to him."
Ma Yongqing raised his head in surprise.
Yan Tuojiang said: "Maybe you won't believe it, but do you remember that when we went to Zhuoer Mountain, you especially liked the snow-capped grassland there, and told me that I want to settle there, stay away from the city, away from the crowd, away from the hustle and bustle, and live a life of peace and stability?"
Ma Yongqing didn't say anything, and his eyes were filled with tears.
Yan Tuojiang said: "I promised you at that time. Since I promised you, I will definitely do it!"
Every word from Yan Tuojiang wedged into the weakest part of Ma Yongqing's heart like a steel nail. At this moment, her heart was already bleeding. She turned around and wiped away her tears, sorted out her emotions and said, "Master, I'm sorry for you."
Yan Tuojiang smiled and said, "You don't have to say this between you and me. It's my own choice to go to this day, and I have no regrets." He stared at Ma Yongqing's eyes affectionately and said, "Yongqing, if you really want that vault, I can tell you the location now. I just want you to promise me one thing and convince your brother to let my niece go." He still doesn't know that Yan Tianxin has escaped successfully.
Ma Yongqing said: "Are you really willing to tell me?"
Yan Tuojiang nodded: "I never lie to you."
Ma Yongping was waiting outside. When he saw Ma Yongqing coming out from inside, he hurriedly met him: "What? Will he say it?"
Ma Yongqing sighed quietly and did not answer his question immediately, but walked silently to the pavilion in the courtyard. Ma Yongping quickly followed: "Yongqing, what did he say?"
Ma Yongqing said: "He promised to tell the location of the secret vault, but he has two conditions."
“What conditions?”
Ma Yongqing said: "He wants to tell you alone."
Ma Yongping was stunned for a moment: "Alone?"
Ma Yongping and Yan Tuojiang's separate conversation actually reached an agreement. Ma Yongping agreed that Yan Tuojiang would take Ma Yongqing as a hostage, and Yan Tuojiang also promised that after the vehicles and hostages were in his control, he would immediately tell Ma Yongping the location of the secret vault.
The scorching sun in the Gobi Desert was unblocked and scorching everything above. Tan Zicong and his subordinates were almost roasted by the scorching sun. They kept drinking water, but they still did not dare to act rashly and honestly waited on an appointment.
Tan Tiande arrived first. The old man had not experienced such a long-distance raid for a long time. He turned over and got off the horse, his face was covered in dust, his tongue stretched out like a wolf dog who was afraid of heat. After drinking most of the pot of water, he recovered a little and told them the scene of their trip to Heishui Temple. Although Tan Zicong had never seen what happened there with his own eyes, Lao Yingpan's experience was still vivid in his mind. After hearing this, he became more and more shocked and said to the old man quietly: "Dad, I think we should not rush to this muddy water. While Ma Yongping did not notice us, the farther we escaped, the better."
Tan Tiande angrily said, "Bastard, what are you saying? Do you want the foundation that I have worked hard to establish?"
Tan Zicong said with a bitter face: "Dad, is the foundation important or life important? Stay there without fear of burning firewood when you stay in the mountains. As long as we are with the guns, we will not be able to make a world wherever we go?" Although there are only more than 200 people at present, there are still many people lurking around Yabulai Mountain. Using the equipment and weapons given to them by Ma Yongping, they can survive anywhere in the northwest.
Tan Tiande said: "We cannot leave unless we have to." He saw those crazy birds with his own eyes. Today, he only escaped the attack of the birds with his horse's feet. Although Tan Tiande is not a person who compassionates all over the world, he also knows that if the virus expands, let alone the surrounding Xinman Camp, even the entire northwest, the entire land of China will be difficult to escape. Where can we escape?
Tan Zicong said: "Dad, what are your plans?"
Tan Tiande took out a sweat towel and wiped the sweat, then put it on his head and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it when Luo Lie arrives."
Tan Zicong didn't know where the old man had this confidence in Luo Lie, so he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Dad, didn't you say that he and Yan Tianxin were surrounded by those birds? I'm afraid they have turned into zombies now."
Tan Tiande said: "No, I won't misunderstand it, he will definitely be able to escape."
Tan Zicong was about to refute, but heard the subordinates in charge of looking down shouting: "Someone is here, someone is here!"
Tan Zicong hurriedly got on the off-road vehicle, raised his telescope and looked into the distance. A small black dot on the edge of the east sky was magnified, but the two of them rode a motorcycle and rushed towards them. Tan Zicong adjusted his vision and quickly determined that the person was Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin.
Putting down the telescope, Tan Zicong made a gesture, and everyone raised their weapons and aimed at the visitors from afar.
Tan Tiande glanced at his son in confusion, and Tan Zicong said, "How do I know if they were infected?"
Luo Lie drove near by car, ignoring the weapons of Tan Tiande and the group of people. After parking the car, he said to Tan Tiande: "It's good that Mr. Tan is fine."
Yan Tianxin glanced at the dark muzzle around him and said, "Tan Zicong, is there a car fuel tank under your feet?"
Tan Zicong looked down and immediately understood that Yan Tianxin was reminding himself that if he dared to order a shot, Yan Tianxin would immediately hit the fuel tank of the car, and he would naturally not be spared. Tan Tiande snorted coldly and said, "Are you blind? Mr. Luo is our friend, and they all put down the gun."
Tan Tiande's words were obviously more effective than Tan Zicong's orders. Everyone put the gun down. Tan Zicong smiled awkwardly and said, "In extraordinary times, be more cautious, don't be accustomed to you." At one time, he has gathered his troops again and obtained Ma Yongping's equipment and weapons, so he naturally has a lot of confidence.
Luo Lie came to Tan Tiande and smiled and said, "Old Mr. Tan is getting stronger and stronger, and he comes faster than us."
Tan Tiande's old face turned hot and he ran faster. He coughed awkwardly and said, "How did you avoid those birds?"
Luo Lie said: "Those birds are afraid of fire and light. Did the old man notice that when they launched an attack, it was just the time when dark clouds covered the sun. Once the sunlight dispels the dark clouds, they will immediately look for dark corners to hide."
