If Sun Deya hadn't opened his mouth to exchange 500,000 stone of grain for Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang would have been able to agree to his conditions on the same day, but there were only 200,000 stone left in Hezhou's grain, and 300,000 stone could not be collected at all, so the two parties had not negotiated properly for several days in the manor.

In fact, Sun Deya was calm on the face, but he was very anxious in his heart. Seeing that the black and oppressive Hezhou soldiers outside surrounded the manor, Guo Zixing was also about to rush to Hezhou, if he delayed any longer, I don't know what variables would be, so he took advantage of the situation in the negotiation to reduce the grain from 500,000 stone to 300,000 stone, and repeatedly stated that as long as he got the grain, he would release the people immediately.

Li Shanchang and Ma Xiuying were half happy and half worried, except for the 200,000 stone grain in the official warehouse, as long as they raised another 100,000 stones, they could exchange it for Zhu Yuanzhang. However, a lot of grain was consumed when Hezhou was besieged, and some grain was sent to Chuzhou some time ago, and 200,000 stone of grain was already owned by Hezhou. The two of them couldn't get 100,000 stone of grain for a while, so they had to send someone to Guo Zixing for help, and look for big merchants everywhere to borrow.

The food that Sun Deya wanted had not yet been gathered, Guo Zixing had already rushed to Hezhou, and Guo Tianxu and Da Zhang, two people who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, also followed. Guo Zixing heard that Sun Deya had taken Zhu Yuanzhang as a hostage, and he couldn't help but be angry. He led the army to seek revenge on Sun Deya, but he couldn't ignore Zhu Yuanzhang's safety, so he had to leave his subordinates in the barracks and temporarily live in the mansion arranged by Ma Xiuying to wait for news.

Sending away the generals who came to see him, Guo Tianxu couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said excitedly in Guo Zixing's ear: "Father, this is a great opportunity, don't miss it." We can use Sun Deya's hand to kill Zhu Yuanzhang to eliminate hidden dangers, and then use the reason of revenge for Zhu Yuanzhang to get rid of Sun Deya. ”

Guo Zixing's awakening and empowerment is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone. So he secretly sent people to prevent local wealthy families from selling grain to Ma Xiuying, not only informed Zhang Tianyou, who was guarding Chuzhou, not to send grain to Hezhou, but also called people to the manor every day to insult him, trying to provoke Sun Deya to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, and even planned to send troops to attack the manor under the banner of "rescue".

Li Shanchang and others noticed Guo Zixing's intentions and hurriedly informed Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying, who was anxious, couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed to Guo Zixing's mansion with Tang and Yuan Xing and other generals to reprimand him loudly, "Zhu Yuanzhang sacrificed his life for you, but you didn't let me raise food to save people, you just didn't want to see him like this, and couldn't wait for him to die?" Do you still have a conscience? ”

"Shut up, did you talk to the master like this?" Da Zhang's scolded, and provoked Guo Zixing: "Master, look, I said a long time ago that this slut is a white-eyed wolf who can't raise a family, which girl dares to talk to her father like this, this little slut doesn't put you in his eyes at all." ”

Without waiting for Guo Zixing to speak, Guo Tianxu had a calm face and said, "Ma Xiuying, don't forget that it is not only your father-in-law sitting above, but also the commander of the army. This and the soldiers of the state are all my father's subordinates, why do he need you to dictate the war? ”

"Shut up! What qualifications does a villain like you have to talk to me! Ma Xiuying spat at Guo Tianxu fiercely. She was angry, and she didn't call Guo Zixing's father-in-law anymore, and sneered bluntly: "Just because the generalissimo is my father-in-law, I have been persuading Zhu Yuanzhang to live in harmony with you; Without the promotion of the generalissimo, there would be no Zhu Yuanzhang today, so he would work hard to fight everywhere for the generalissimo. The result? Our forbearance is only in exchange for you to gain an inch again and again, you are afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang's high merit will shock the master, so we will leave Haozhou; You can't stay in Haozhou, so we will give Chuzhou away immediately. But we have all avoided Hezhou, and now you have to borrow Sun Deya's hand to kill him. Do you treat me and Zhu Yuanzhang as family? In addition to using it is suppression, he even wants to kill Zhu Yuanzhang all the time, hum! Don't want such a family! ”

"Evil Barrier!" Guo Zixing was already a little weak-hearted and was so sarcastic and sarcastic by Ma Xiuying, he trembled with anger, pointed at her and roared: "Come on, drive her out of me, and you will not be allowed to enter my house in the future!" From now on, I don't have this daughter! ”

Ma Xiuying went out and sneered again and again, "Enter your house?" Generalissimo, this is Hezhou, not Chuzhou, you should obediently go back to Chuzhou and guard your home. ”

Yuan Xing and the others even directly raised their weapons to deter the pro-soldiers brought by Guo Zixing who wanted to do it.

The soldiers outside the mansion even shouted: "This is Hezhou, except for General Zhu, none of us obey!" ”

"You ...... Wow! Guo Zixing spurted out a mouthful of blood and passed out. He never expected that Ma Xiuying would tear her face in public and say such indifferent and ruthless words.

Guo Tianxu and Da Zhang suddenly panicked, shouting, crying, and scolding at Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying was too lazy to look at the family's coy attitude, so she arranged for a soldier to go to the doctor, and turned around and left.

Guo Tianxu stepped forward to stop, "Ma Xiuying, you dare to be disrespectful and so angry that my father vomits blood?" If anything happens to my father, I won't spare you! ”

"What am I afraid of? You don't want to be cheeky yourself, do you want me to put it on you? If my husband has three long and two short, I will not be finished with you! Ma Xiuying slapped his hand open.

"Okay, well, since you are unkind, blame me for being unjust. Come on, arrest this unfilial and disloyal slut! Guo Tianxu was not stupid, he knew that he couldn't beat Ma Xiuying, so he called his soldiers to do it.

The soldiers on the left and right were just about to step forward, Tang He and the others drew their swords and shouted, "Who dares to catch Mrs. Ma?" ”

Guo Tianxu looked at everyone in disbelief, "Are you really planning to rebel?" Don't forget that you are all my father's subordinates. ”

Yuan Xing turned a blind eye and said directly to Ma Xiuying: "Sister, what to do with these people?" ”

Ma Xiuying didn't look at the angry Guo Tianxu, and waved her hand, "Since the generalissimo is sick, it is not appropriate to work too hard, let him rest in the mansion, you send a team to guard outside the mansion, don't let people disturb the generalissimo's cultivation, and when General Zhu returns safely, we will come to visit his old man again." ”

As soon as these words came out, Guo Tianxu and Da Zhang's faces changed abruptly, which was clearly a disguised house arrest. They immediately called their soldiers to the barracks to contact the Haozhou generals brought by Guo Zixing, but before the soldiers could get out of the mansion, they were forced back by the Hezhou soldiers with weapons, and those who wanted to break in were directly cut to the ground.

Only then did Guo Tianxu believe that Ma Xiuying was not just talking, and yelled angrily: "Ma Xiuying, you dare!" ”

Ma Xiuying left without looking back. They all blatantly wanted to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, what else did she dare not do, if Zhu Yuanzhang had a mistake, she would definitely drag the family to Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral.

However, Yuan Xing and the others glared at Guo Tianxu gloomily a few times before chasing Ma Xiuying away.

All that was left for the Guo family was a group of indifferent backs and a group of soldiers who were eyeing each other. They never expected that they would be placed under house arrest if they did not seize the military power.

Da Zhang didn't care about Guo Zixing's condition, only grabbed Guo Tianxu's hand, and kept asking, "What should I do?" What to do? At this time, she regretted persuading Guo Zixing to come to Hezhou, if they didn't come, Guo Zixing would not be angry, they would not be placed under house arrest, and now whether they can return to Chuzhou safely has become a problem.

Guo Tianxu's face was gloomy like stagnant water, looking at the figure outside the house, he clenched his fists and didn't make a sound. At this moment, he realized that he underestimated Ma Xiuying, once this woman turned her face and was ruthless, she would be more decisive than anyone else. He only hopes that Zhu Yuanzhang can return safely, otherwise he doesn't know what this woman will do when she goes crazy.

Without Guo Zixing's orders, the generals he brought with him stood still in the barracks. Li Shanchang had people closely monitor the movements of these generals, but whenever anyone wanted to go to the mansion to ask to see Guo Zixing, he used an excuse to block them back. The generals vaguely noticed that something was wrong, but under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of soldiers in Hezhou, they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Ma Xiuying no longer cared about the situation in Guo's mansion and continued to borrow grain to buy grain. At this time, Mu Longsheng brought Shen Wansan's dividends, and she hurriedly used the money to buy grain at high prices in various places, and finally managed to scrape together 100,000 stones, and put them in front of Sun Deya together with the 200,000 stones of grain from the official warehouse.

Sun Deya was overjoyed with the grain, and sent someone to transport the grain away first, but he was still unwilling to release Zhu Yuanzhang.

Ma Xiuying ignored Xu Da's obstruction, broke into the manor, and urged with hatred: "The food is ready, release my husband quickly." Otherwise, don't talk about my father-in-law's side, even the state soldiers will not let you leave half a step. ”

"Mrs. Ma don't worry, I have been talking to Mr. Zhu for a long time these days, and I hate to see each other late, and Mr. Zhu is reluctant to let me leave, saying that he wants to give me a ride." Sun Deya's words sounded good, but in fact, he was not right-minded, he was afraid that the Hezhou soldiers would arrange an ambush in the middle of the road, and proposed that Zhu Yuanzhang must send twenty miles.

Ma Xiuying was too lazy to listen to Sun Deya's nonsense, and warned coldly: "It's no problem to send you away, let me see my husband first." The million-strong army of the Yuan court is approaching, and the state, Chuzhou, and Haozhou are close to each other, I believe that Marshal Sun is a smart man, and he will not do things that are happy for relatives and enemies. But if any of you are not clear-headed, and my husband is missing a hair, even if it is the end of the earth, I will not let you go. ”

"Of course, of course." Sun Deya smiled dryly: "It is precisely because of our interdependence that I came to General Zhu to borrow food." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out dejectedly, he was not abused by Sun Deya, he was served with good food and drink, but the identity of this hostage was too embarrassing, and he was blamed for not listening to Ma Xiuying's persuasion to suffer a big loss. He heard the conversation between the two clearly in the back hall, and naturally knew Sun Deya's plan, and said awkwardly: "Madam, I'm fine, don't worry, I'll send him away and go home." ”

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang carefully with tears in her eyes, and saw that his spirit and complexion were normal, so she said to Sun Deya: "My husband has not dealt with government affairs for several days, and he can't do without him here, you let him go, and I will be a hostage." ”

"Madame, no!" Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Daqi, who followed Ma Xiuying into the manor, exclaimed.
