Ma Yuan said: "When the general heard the news that His Majesty was going to borrow Longdao, he immediately sent people to cut down trees and destroy stones, blocking Longdao, and now Longdao has been destroyed and can't go through at all!" ”

Lai She's face changed suddenly, and he said in surprise: "It's so ......"

"Also, the general knows that the doctor has arrived in Tianshui, and he has just ordered that the whole city will be arrested by you! Come to the doctor, you hurry up, take advantage of the now, hurry out of the city, if you wait for the general's order to reach the city gate, you can't leave if you want to. ”

Lai She gasped, grabbed Ma Yuan's wrist, and asked, "Kui Huan...... Is he really the opposite? ”

Ma Yuan nodded again and again and said, "It's the opposite!" The general is really the opposite! The general has taken refuge in Gongsun Shu, respecting Gongsun Shu as the Son of Heaven, and Gongsun Shu has also canonized the general as the king of Shuoning! ”

Lai Xi pondered for a moment, and said urgently: "Wen Yuan, you can go with me!" Kui Huan betrayed the Son of Heaven, betrayed the Han, he couldn't last long, this time His Majesty personally led 100,000 elite soldiers, obviously to fight Gongsun Shu, the real one is coming to Kui Huan. ”

When Ma Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and smiled bitterly.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "I have advised the general many times, persuading him not to take refuge in Gongsun Shu, not to betray the Son of Heaven, not to betray the Han family, but he just didn't listen, I ...... I've really done my best, I'm ...... No better solution! ”

He was telling the truth, among Kui's subordinates, Ma Yuan was an unwavering pro-Han faction. Ma Yuan and Gongsun Shu were originally good friends, and with his friendship with Gongsun Shu, he would definitely be able to get a higher official position if he went to seek refuge with Gongsun Shu.

It was precisely because Gongsun Shu was proclaimed emperor in Shu and Kui Huan took refuge in the Han family that Ma Yuan decided to join Kui Huan's command. Now Kui Huan wants to follow the old path of Gongsun Shu, and he also wants to betray the Han family, which makes Ma Yuan both angry and deeply regretful.

Lai She said: "Come with me, the Son of Heaven is now Hongnong, Wen Yuan, you go with me to see the Son of Heaven, I will protect your life without worry, for your abandonment of darkness and surrender to the light, Your Majesty will definitely reward you heavily!" ”

Ma Yuan Zhengse said: "Aid is loyal to the Han family, loyal to the Son of Heaven, and does not ask for rewards." ”

Lai Shi said: "I know. Wen Yuan, you have to come with me now! ”

Ma Yuan pondered for a moment, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay! Come to the doctor, I will go with you to see the Son of Heaven! ”

"Great!" I was overjoyed.

Ma Yuan whispered: "Come to the doctor, I'm afraid that the entourage you brought can't be taken away, so we can only leave them in the city, otherwise, the goal is too big, and we can't go far, so we have to be caught up." ”

The joy on Lai's face disappeared, revealing a look of worry.

Ma Yuan said: "Don't worry, the general wants to arrest you, not those entourage, knowing that you have escaped, the general will at best imprison them and will not hurt their lives." ”

After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay! Wen Yuan, that ...... Your family? ”

Ma Yuan said: "I took my family out of the city together, and when the time came, I had to be wronged and the doctor disguised himself as a domestic servant. ”

Lai Xi didn't say a word, nodded immediately, and responded, "Okay." ”

Kui Huan is now firmly on the side of Gongsun Shu, and heard that Liu Xiu is going to borrow Longdao to enter Shu, Kui Huan does not hesitate to destroy Longdao in order to prevent the Han army from going south. In this case, the envoy to Kui was undoubtedly in the mouth of the sheep, but fortunately he was stopped by Ma Yuan as soon as he entered the city, and under the protection of Ma Yuan, he went to Ma Fu, disguised himself as a domestic servant, and then followed Ma Yuan and his family out of the city.

Ma Yuan has a lot of family members, in addition to parents, brothers and sisters, as well as wives, concubines, as well as sons, daughters, domestic servants, maids, attendants, nurses, etc. Ma Yuan wants to join Han, and it is impossible to leave his immediate family members in Liangzhou, and if he stays, it will be a dead end.

Seeing that Ma Yuan had so many dependents, and he had to bring a lot of belongings, he frowned, he found Ma Yuan, and said: "Wen Yuan, is there too many people to bring, not to mention, to bring so many belongings, this is bound to arouse the suspicion of Kui Huan!" ”

The Ma family is a big family, Ma Yuan is great-grandfather is a marquis, and his grandfather and father are civil officials in the court, and they are standard scholars. If such a big family wants to move from Liangzhou to Luoyang, can they bring less things?

After thinking about it, Ma Yuan immediately decided, the servants and maids, if they can not bring it, they will not bring it, and all the belongings will not be brought, and they will stay in the house, and the whole family will travel lightly in a carriage.

Regarding Ma Yuan's decision, Lai Xi nodded with satisfaction, but the Ma family couldn't accept it, many belongings were passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of the Ma family, and they were really reluctant to throw them in Tianshui, Liangzhou.

Seeing this, Lai She walked up to everyone, bowed his hand, and said: "In the next place, the official worships the doctor Taizhong, and I can assure you that as long as you go to Luoyang, your majesty will reward you with the mansion, money, and treasures!" Taking away these things now, firstly, it is difficult to get out of the city, and secondly, it will greatly slow down our speed, please think twice! ”

The Ma family looked at each other, lowered their heads one after another, no one spoke, or Ma Yuan's wife took the lead in expressing her position, and said: "The doctor is reasonable, let's all listen to the doctor!" ”

Laishu looked at Ma Yuan's wife. This Mrs. Ma is not very old, not yet thirty, but her appearance can really be called a shy flower, sinking fish and geese, even if she is a doctor from Taizhong, she can't help but take a few more looks.

Ma Yuan's wife is not simple, more precisely, the daughter she gave birth to is not simple.

Her eldest daughter, after Liu Yang inherited the throne, became a nobleman, her second daughter married Jia Fu's son, the third, fourth, and fifth daughters all entered the palace, especially the youngest daughter, who climbed step by step at the bottom of the palace, and finally became Liu Yang's queen, that is, the famous Queen Ma in history.

Under the persuasion of Mrs. Ma, the Ma family finally reluctantly cut their love, only took a small part of the softness, and then a large family followed Ma Yuan out of the Ma Mansion and took a carriage out of the city.

At this time, the order to arrest Kui Huan has been transmitted to the city gate, although the city gate of Tianshui City has not been sealed, but the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate have increased significantly, and the people who enter the city are not checked much, but the people who go out of the city must be checked one by one.

Soon, the officers and soldiers found out where the Ma family's convoy was. Seeing these many vehicles, the officers and men were on full alert. Before they could begin their search, the horses stepped out of the carriage as the curtain of the first carriage was raised.

His face sank, and he asked, "Do I want to search when I go out of the city?" ”

The officers and soldiers raised their eyes and saw clearly that the other party was Ma Yuan, and hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "I don't know if it's General Ma, how offended!" ”

Ma Yuan's face sank and said: "I want to go out of the city with my family to worship at the mountain temple, you wait and retreat!" ”

"This ......" The officers and soldiers looked at each other, but no one answered. Seeing this, Ma Yuan's face became even more gloomy, and he asked, "What?" Didn't you hear me? ”

"General Ma!" As he spoke, the captain of the city gate in charge of the city gate came over and asked with a smile on his face: "General Ma, who dragged his family out of the city, where are you going?" ”

Seeing the oncoming captain of the city gate, Ma Yuan frowned secretly, muttering in his heart, how did he meet him?

This city gate captain, named Wang Zong, has some festivals with Ma Yuan, and on weekdays, the two of them can get by in terms of face, but in their hearts, no one looks down on anyone.

Ma Yuan said quietly: "My family and I are going out of the city to worship at the mountain temple, and I hope that Captain Wang can make it convenient." ”

"Go out of the city to worship!" Wang Zong's eyes rolled, grinned, and said, "It's really unfortunate! General Ma, the king has just ordered the whole city to search for Laixi, and no suspicious person is allowed to leave the city! ”

Ma Yuan was furious, pointed back at his convoy, and asked loudly, "Captain Wang, are my family members suspicious?" ”

Wang Zong waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "Xia Guan doesn't mean this, General Ma, don't get me wrong!" Whether it is a suspicious person or not, you have to wait for the entire vehicle to be searched, General Ma, what do you say? ”

Ma Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Zong, don't deceive people too much, you know that there are female dependents among them, and you have to search the vehicles one by one, what is your intention?" ”

"Hey, it's not right for General Ma to say that, the lower official is acting on the orders of the king, but General Ma has objections to the king's order?" Wang Zong asked solemnly.

The captain of the city gate is not an ordinary captain, the rank should be above the captain in the army, even if Wang Zong's level is not as high as Ma Yuan, it is not far behind.

In addition, Wang Zong dared to be so arrogant and domineering, and he also had a backer behind him, and his biggest backer was Wang Yuan.

This Wang Yuan is not Wang Yuan, this Wang Yuan is not Wang Yuan, the counselor of Luoyang, but Wang Yuan, the general under Kui Huan, and he is also one of Kui Huan's most hardcore henchmen.

The Wang family has a lot of influence on Kuihuan's side, and many of the generals in the army and the ministers of the DPRK and the central government are members of the Wang family.

Now, Ma Yuan was blocked by Wang Zong. Either let Wang Zong search the carriages one by one, or not let them out of the city.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a carriage came up, came to a halt, and then a man came out of the carriage.

Wang Zong raised his eyes and looked at it, first stunned, and then walked forward quickly, bowed his hand, and asked after all, "Cousin, why are you here?" ”

The one who came was also one of the Wang family, named Wang Zun.

Wang Zun is a general with Yang Guang's name, as early as when Kui Huan had not yet taken refuge in Liu Xuan, Wang Zun was already one of Kui Huan's henchmen. Belongs to the core members of the hustle and bustle circle. Wang Zunju looked at it, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Wang Zong hurriedly explained: "Cousin, the king has just ordered the whole city to search for Laishe, and at this juncture, Ma Yuan wanted to take his family out of the city to worship some mountain god, so I stopped them. ”

"Oh!"

"Cousin, Ma Yuan's eyes are too high on weekdays, and he always goes against our Wang family, this time, I think about it, I have to teach him a lesson!" Wang Zong said fiercely, and at the same time turned around and glared at Ma Yuan fiercely.

Wang Zun is here, and now he has more backbone, although Ma Yuan is an official position, he is not as high as his cousin.

Hearing what was going on, Wang Zun sighed, put his hands behind his back, and walked over to Ma Yuan.

For the Wang family, Ma Yuan really doesn't have a good impression, if there is anyone else in the Wang family who can impress him, that is, Wang Yuan and Wang Zun.

Regardless of Wang Yuan's character for the time being, he is indeed very powerful in war, and he is a general with real talent and learning.

And Wang Zun's ability to fight can be ignored for the time being, but his character is excellent, and he is definitely a humble gentleman.

"General Wang!" As Wang Zun approached, Ma Yuan bowed his hand.

Wang Zun immediately returned the salute and said, "General Ma! As he spoke, he looked at the Ma family's convoy, there were more than ten large and small cars, this is the whole family out of the city, is it really just to go to the mountain temple to worship?

He asked, "General Ma, what are you?" ”

"General Wang, I'm going out of the city to worship at the mountain temple."

"It is neither a festival nor the death day of the ancestors, what does it mean to worship the mountain god with a family?" Wang Zun asked.

"The big war is coming, and I only ask the gods to protect me and keep my family safe."

"I see!" After hearing this, Wang Zun nodded with deep sympathy. He was silent for a moment, then turned back to Wang Zong behind him and said, "Give the order to let go!" ”

"Don...... Checkmate! Wang Zong was so anxious that he rubbed his hands again and again, just based on what Ma Yuan did on weekdays, why did he make it convenient for him?

"I let you go, didn't you hear? Just go! Wang Zun frowned and said in a deep voice.

Seeing that his cousin's complexion was not good, Wang Zong shrunk his neck, did not dare to say more, walked quickly to the city gate, signaled his officers and soldiers, and let the Ma family's convoy go out of the city.

Seeing this, Ma Yuan arched his hand, bowed to the ground, and said, "Thank you, General Wang, for your success!" ”

Wang Zun stepped forward, dragged Ma Yuan's arm, and whispered: "In the future, if General Ma sees Your Majesty, I hope General Ma can remember the kindness of the Wang family today!" ”

After speaking, he didn't look at Ma Yuan's greatly changed face, and turned back to his carriage.

Ma Yuan was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and then looked at Wang Zun's carriage for a long time before he bowed his hand again and gave a deep salute, then returned to the carriage and ordered the coachman to drive out of the city immediately.

The carriage came out of the water wheel, and the horse aid in the car was still in extreme shock.

It was really unexpected, I didn't expect that Wang Zun would notice that he was going to take refuge with His Majesty, and what surprised him even more was that Wang Zun didn't go to Kui Huan to denounce him, and helped him get out of the city smoothly.
