Chapter 363: Hidden Worries for the Future

Seeing Ma Ye's expression so serious when he spoke, Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little surprised, and when the two of them came to a secluded place outside the barracks, they asked, "What is so serious that I need to be mentally prepared?" ”

I saw that Ma Ye turned his head and looked around at this time, and after making sure that there was no one, he said in a low voice: "On the way, I sent King Qi and them to Dengzhou, and I usually inevitably have contact with them, among them, although the King of Anlu County is young, he can see the current situation clearly, although he has resentment towards King Qin, he has no other thoughts."

When he said this, he saw Ma Ye pause again, turned his head to look around, and then continued: "But in contrast, King Qi can't see the situation at all, and when his injuries are better, he clamored to go back to avenge the prince, and in the end he was forced by me to dispel this idea, but later when he got along with several children such as King Anlu County, he was educating them all the time, so that they would have the ability in the future, and they must return to the Central Plains to avenge their father and uncle!" ”

When Ma Ye said the end, he also showed a worried expression on his face, and Li Xiu also fell silent after listening, he knew what Ma Ye meant, before he and Princess Pingyang ensured that Li Chengdao and the others would not die, in case they really returned to the Central Plains to take revenge in the future, I am afraid that Li Shimin would probably be angry with them.

I saw Li Xiu pondering for a long time, and finally spoke: "King Qi has an arrogant and impulsive personality, he has never suffered such a big setback, and he has a deep relationship with the prince, and it is normal for him to want to come back for revenge, but although Chengdao is young, he is very stable, and they have only a thousand people in their hands, how can they come back to fight with King Qin?" So I believe that Chengdao should not be so impulsive and confused! ”

"That being said, the king of Anlu County is indeed precocious and terrible, but people will always change, and from now on, you will never see him again, but the king of Qi will get along with him day and night, under the influence of the king of Qi, maybe the king of Anlu will be moved by him, not to mention that the hatred of killing his father is not shared, in case he grows up and then returns to the Central Plains, then how should you choose?"

Ma Ye didn't say anything more in the end, Li Shimin's anger is still secondary, the key is how to choose Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang at that time? They will definitely not help Li Shimin deal with Li Chengdao, but they will not help Li Chengdao deal with Li Shimin, and they will still be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma, which is what Ma Ye is most worried about.

Li Xiu couldn't help but smile a little bitterly when he heard this, he knew that Ma Ye's worries were very reasonable, after all, man was originally a very complex animal, and no one dared to guarantee whether Li Chengdao would change in the future, not to mention that he was already at an age when his outlook on life and values were just about to be formed, but he suddenly suffered such a big human tragedy, and he had to flee to a wild place thousands of miles away to survive at a young age, which would have a huge impact on a person's heart.

"Uncle Ma, I know about this matter, but since the princess and I have left behind to inherit them, we will have to bear the corresponding consequences, and although your worries are possible, they may not necessarily happen, so we don't have to worry too much!" Li Xiu was silent for a moment, and finally suddenly smiled freely.

Since things have come to this point, he can't afford to regret it anymore, not to mention that it is still early for Li Chengdao and them to become adults, so he still has enough time to make some preparations to deal with it, at least not like Xuanwumen, there is no preparation at all in advance, so that everyone around him will follow him to take risks.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Ma Ye didn't say anything more, and the two returned to the barracks at the moment to catch the wind for Qiu Shili and other generals of the women's army, and Princess Pingyang also sat here for a while, but her body was inconvenient, and she couldn't drink, so Li Xiu broke his rules again and accompanied Ma Ye and others to have a few drinks.

But soon Li Xiu regretted it, if he didn't insist on not drinking, it would be nothing, but seeing him actually drinking, as a result, Qiu Shili and these veteran ruffians immediately joined forces to pour wine to him, especially after knowing that Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang had been given marriage, he forced him to drink, but Li Xiu was also drunk in a daze, and he ran outside halfway through the drink and vomited, which made him feel a little better, and then he was carried back by Princess Pingyang, while complaining that he couldn't drink it, don't drink it.

When he woke up the next day, Ma Ye had already arranged the affairs in the barracks, and there were Qiu Shili, Xiang Shanzhi and others in the army to take care of him, but he didn't have to worry about it, plus he really missed Ha'er, so he ran back alone, and he was very close to see Ha'er, and he also took out the special gifts he bought on the road and gave them to Ha'er and Qi Niang and others, which made this group of little girls scream non-stop Uncle Ma, and Ma Ye was also happy and laughed.

"Uncle Ma, Uncle Ma, you have to call the shots for me!" At this moment, I saw Qi Niang suddenly pouting and shouting with a dissatisfied face.

"What's the matter, who dares to bully our Qiniang, Uncle Ma will help you teach him a lesson!" As soon as Ma Ye heard Qi Niang's words, he immediately turned pale and said, although Qi Niang is not his own niece like Ha'er, it is almost the same.

"It's my brother, he's been promising me for a long time, but he hasn't done it!" Qi Niang glared at Li Xiudao at this time.

Seeing Qi Niang's appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, he naturally knew what Qi Niang was talking about, so he had to explain helplessly: "Qi Niang, haven't I already said it, I have already asked someone to do it, but I can't find a suitable candidate for the time being, plus I have been busy these days, so I have only delayed it for a few days." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Uncle Ma also asked a little puzzled when he heard this.

"Qi Niang wants to learn how to design ships, but I really don't understand this, so I want to ask a master in this area to teach her, but I can't find the right person for a while." Li Xiu explained helplessly.

He had mentioned this matter to Yang Nong before, but although the old man didn't understand why Li Xiu's sister was interested in shipbuilding, he was still very enthusiastic and took the initiative to help Li Xiu find a suitable person, and Li Xiu was busy with Ma Ye and them in the past few days, so he didn't have time to ask, and he didn't know what happened to Yang Nong?

"This is a trivial matter, your brother is indeed not free these days, but now that Uncle Ma is back, this matter is wrapped up in Uncle Ma!" Ma Ye also knew that Li Xiu must have been very busy before, so he didn't say anything, but patted his chest and assured Qi Niang that Qi Niang could trust Ma Ye a lot, and he thanked Ma Ye sweetly at the moment, and then ran to play with the new toys that Ma Ye gave them.

After seeing Qi Niang and them leaving, Ma Ye turned to Li Xiu and said, "How did you kid, Qi Niang couldn't help him do such a small request?" ”

"I've already asked someone to do it, but I don't have time to ask these days." Li Xiu explained helplessly again.

"Who did you trust?" Ma Ye asked again, and his face was a little suspicious.

"Yang Nong Yang Shangshu, originally I just mentioned it casually, but this old man took over this matter, and I can't refuse!"

"Confused, Yang Nong is from the Ministry of Households, and shipbuilding is under the control of the Ministry of Engineering, a favor as big as the one you sold to Wu Shi Tong before, when will you use it now?" Ma Ye was stunned when he heard Li Xiu's answer.

"This ......" Li Xiu also secretly screamed when he heard this, in fact, he originally wanted to go to Wu Shi Tong, but Yang Nong took the initiative to take this matter, and he couldn't refuse, if he went to find someone else at this time, it would be a little embarrassing for Yang Nong to know, after all, this was obviously doubting the ability of others.

Ma Ye also knew what Li Xiu was embarrassed about, and thought about it for a while: "That's it, since you have entrusted the matter to Yang Nong, then go and ask in the next two days, and I will also go to Wu Shi Tong to see if he has a suitable candidate, if Yang Nong can find someone, we can also compare, if you can't find it, then use Wu Shi Tong to find someone directly!" ”

"Okay, everything is up to Uncle Ma's arrangement!" Li Xiu immediately nodded when he heard this, but then he thought of one more thing, so he said with some uneasiness again, "Uncle Ma, I heard that the life of the warrior is not very easy now, isn't it a little bad for us to trouble him now?" ”

Wushi Tong is different from others, he has no family background, and he has not made any too prominent contributions in the Tang Dynasty, the only reliance is his personal friendship with Li Yuan, and he is also extremely loyal to Li Yuan, it can be said that Li Yuan's henchman is the henchman, but now that Li Yuan is under house arrest, Li Shimin naturally wants to promote his own people, even if it is a person like Pei Lian, he will have to give way to the eldest grandson Wuji in the future, so Wu Shitong's current life is probably very difficult.

"You see, you are too soft-hearted, it is precisely because Wu Shi Tong will definitely be squeezed down in the future, so now you have to ask him for help while he is still the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and can help us a little, do you plan to wait for him to be demoted to other places in the future, and then go to him to pay off that personal debt?" Ma Ye first glanced at Li Xiu, and then said confidently.

"This ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but be impressed by Ma Ye's meticulous logic when he heard this, throwing away the emotional factor, this is indeed the most reasonable choice, not to mention that he really has no friendship with Wu Shi Tong, so people can't find an excuse to refute it at all.

"Okay, this matter is settled, anyway, it's just a small thing, it's enough to make the warrior Tong repay the big favor you helped him last time, and it's still cheap for him!" Ma Ye spoke again, and Li Xiu had to nod in agreement.

After chatting about this private matter, Ma Ye talked to Li Xiu about some of his experiences on the road, and finally suddenly sighed, and said with a heavy face: "According to the original agreement, the women's army will definitely be incorporated when they come back, but I asked the brothers in the army, a considerable number of old brothers are tired of life in the army and want to retire to live the life of ordinary people, but the court has no money now, it is difficult to settle them, we must not ignore this, but there are so many people, how to settle them is also a big problem!"
