In March and April, the southern sky is sometimes rainy, sometimes sunny. And at this moment, the Wuping Festival in Langzhou made Ma Xixu's mood as uncertain as the weather.

In the Langzhou Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Ma Xicao paced slowly with eight-character steps, the news that Ma Yun was about to become the assassin of Yuezhou, made him happy and worried, and the joy was that Wang Yun, the assassin of Yuezhou, was finally transferred to Changsha, Wang Yun supervised Yuezhou really can't splash water, needles can't enter, and he has always been only loyal to the King of Chu, and he is neither humble nor arrogant to his top boss Wuping Jiedu, which makes Ma Xicao quite unhappy; The worry is that Ma Yun came to Yuezhou to be the assassin, so the battle for the throne in Changsha is already obvious, and once the political situation in Changsha is stabilized, the chances will be even slimmer.

Liu Yan, the judge of Wuping Jiedu next to him, watched Ma Xicao walking around, and couldn't help but say: "Yun Gongzi is out to supervise Yue, so the battle for the storage position is still clear, and the adults have to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Ma Xicao glanced at the door uneasily, and said: "I am a child of the royal family, the second brother is here, I am naturally loyal to the second brother; If the second brother is not there, I will naturally be loyal to the king of Xinchu. ”

Liu Yan hurriedly said: "The old prince's last life is a brother's last brother... ”

Ma Xicao interrupted Liu Yan's words and said, "That's an old saying, don't mention it." As long as he can protect my Chu State for a long time, I will support him, whether he is a second brother or a nephew. ”

Looking at Ma Xixu's back, Liu Yan shook his head inadvertently, thought about it and couldn't help but persuade: "My lord, today's Yun Gongzi supervises Yuezhou, it is an opportunity for us, the envoy of Wuping Jiedu is defending the northern border of the entire Chu State, and the lord orders the north, and the weight is for a while, even if the king of Chu is moved, the lord can defend and retreat." But Yuezhou is in the north of Langzhou, and without Yuezhou, it is like a fish in the throat. Wang Yun Du Yue, we can't get in, now that Yun Gongzi is here, we can send 3,000 elite soldiers to enter Yuezhou with Yun Gongzi in the name of strengthening Yuezhou's defense, so that Yuezhou is completely in our hands. ”

Ma Xicao listened to Liu Yan's words, thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it, let's talk about it again... Then he muttered softly, "How can my second brother be so easy to deceive." ”

On the official road from Changsha to Langzhou, the Central Plains Mission of Great Chu is moving slowly, and the main reason for the slowness is that Tuoba Heng can't ride a horse and can only sit in a sedan chair; The second is because Ma Yun's second brother Ma Guangliang is too emotional. Ma Guangliang replaced the King of Chu to send Ma Yun, out of 20 miles, and constantly told Ma Yun to pay attention to his body, not to work too hard, chattering for more than half an hour, and finally drank the candied wine, Ma Yun bowed his hand and said take care, and then beat the horse forward. After walking less than 10 miles, I heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me, and the second child caught up again, followed by drinking, saying goodbye, and going on the road; After walking less than 10 miles, I heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me, and the second child caught up, and repeated it three or four times. Ma Guangmeng, who was on the side, couldn't help but say, "Second brother, why don't we go to the Central Plains together." Only then did he stop Ma Guangliang.

Afraid that Ma Guangliang would catch up and talk again, Tuoba Heng didn't even sit in a sedan chair, he said to Ma Yun: "Little prince, let's go quickly, the second prince will catch up again, we will sleep on the street today." ”

Ma Yun glanced at Li Xiang, Guangmeng and others, raised his whip with a smile, and said exaggeratedly: "The three armies listen to the order, the soldiers are dispatched, this town in front of the soldiers." ”

It was easy to arrive in a small town before dark, and after eating, Ma Yun was about to fall asleep, when Li Xiang and Wu Ban knocked on the door. Looking at the appearance of the two, Ma Yun said in his heart: Deler, we have to talk until the middle of the night today.

It should be said that he is still a highly educated modern person, although Ma Yun wanted to sleep very much, he still put on a posture of Corporal Lixian and let these two dog-headed military divisions in.

As soon as Wu Ban sat down, he said, "What does the prince think about today's affairs?" ”

Fortunately, he had the experience of communicating a few days ago, otherwise Ma Yun would definitely be confused by this headless sentence. Looking at Wu Ban's disdainful expression, Ma Yun snorted vaguely and did not speak.

Wu Ban sneered: "The prince can also see it, the second prince is in the limelight today." ”

Ma Yun suddenly realized, it turns out that you are talking about the second child. So, his body leaned slightly towards Wu Ban and said: "Today's second brother's family show is really good, if it weren't for the number of times I sent it, I really believed it." ”

Li Xiang smiled and said: "Of course the prince wants to believe it, not only the prince wants to believe it, but the prince wants everyone in the world to believe it, but this letter is not to believe in the brotherhood of the second prince, but to believe in you, the prince, it is your brotherly love, taking into account the overall situation, and being indifferent to fame and fortune, so you invited yourself to go out in order to avoid the disaster of Xiao Qiang." ”

Ma Yun seemed to be a little abrupt and said: "Wonderful, this is turning passive into active, why did the two gentlemen teach me?" ”

Li Xiang and Wu Ban looked at each other and smiled, then took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Ma Yun. It took Ma Yun nearly half an hour to finally understand the content of this performance. The main meaning is to thank my father for his trust, wish my father the good health of the Holy Body, and express that he will not only obey the organizational arrangement, but also do a line of love, love and dedication, and must build Yuezhou well, live up to his father's entrustment, and let the people of Yuezhou bathe in the care of the King of Chu; At the same time, he called on the ministers to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and tiredness, taking into account the overall situation, working hard, and working hard for the construction of feudalism.

After reading the performance, Ma Yun looked at Li Xiang and them suspiciously, and said in his heart: You didn't mention me in your article.

Li Xiang said with a smile: "The two princes sent each other for ten miles, and they played the family card, and we are committed to patrolling for the Son of Heaven, and we are playing the merit card." Family card, without you, the prince, he can't play alone; Merit cards are different. What does the king of Chu want now is stability and unity, he is afraid of brothers fighting, he is afraid of the political situation chaos, to put it mildly, he thinks about how to live the rest of his life comfortably. Lord Wang, you invited yourself to go out, which is exactly in line with this situation, and as soon as this letter is played, you have greatly increased the weight in the heart of King Chu. ”

Ma Yun smiled and said, "It's polite." After looking at the two of them, they didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, thought about it and said, "I'll be in Langzhou the day after tomorrow, and my third uncle doesn't know what to do?" ”

Wu Ban said: "I'm afraid that the Lord of the Festival is thinking about Yuezhou." Yuezhou Assassin Wang Yun, deputy envoy Shi Wende, are loyal to the country, upright people, Wuping Jiedu envoy's jurisdiction over Yuezhou is useless, taking advantage of the opportunity of Wang Yun's transfer, he is afraid that he is going to reach into Yuezhou, ten will send some troops to Yuezhou in the name of garrison. ”

Ma Yun looked at Wu Ban and Li Xiang, and suddenly realized, no wonder these two guys picked me up two days ago and transferred Ding Sijin to the commander of Yuezhou, it turned out to be to prevent Ma Xicao. I thought it was to prevent Liu Renzhan from being the envoy of Wuchang in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Ma Yun said: "He is a festival envoy, he insists on sending troops, what can we do?" ”

Li Xiang said with a smile: "He sent troops, that's a good thing, why refuse." ”。。。

It was already late at night, but the three people in the room seemed to be more and more energetic the more they talked, and from time to time there was hearty laughter. In the vast night, I don't know how many families are happy and how sad.
