The night is dark and windy, and it is the time to do bad things. Liu Xie planned to steal people, and was about to steal Ma Teng, who was imprisoned by Han Sui, out of Yuzhong quietly. Yuzhong was originally a military stronghold of the imperial court, and the imperial court knew much more about how many secret passages there were in Yuzhong City than Han Sui. It's just that Han Sui hid Ma Teng very tightly, and the people sent by Liu Xie to Yuzhong returned in vain.

The appearance of Ma Yunlu brought a turning point in this matter. This girl is also a bold person, and after meeting Liu Xie and learning that Liu Xie intended to rescue her father, she took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Yuzhong to find out her father's whereabouts. Han Sui was also careless, he found some secret passages in Yuzhong and thought that Yuzhong was completely in his hands, but he didn't know that there were already rangers who were proficient in the art of concealment and hid in Yuzhong in advance, and when Ma Yunlu walked into Yuzhong, these rangers hid in the shadows, and followed Ma Yunlu secretly, seeing Ma Yunlu follow Han Sui to a house where Ma Teng was imprisoned.

Han Sui thought that it would be foolproof to detain Ma Yunlu, but how could he have thought that Ma Yunlu was a fragrant bait, and there was someone else who was really responsible for the rescue.

Knowing the specific location of Ma Teng, the rest is simple. Liu Xie is convinced of the truth of the saying that he is the champion, and has never discriminated against all walks of life, even if it is a tomb robber who stole graves and dug graves in the past, as long as he is willing to work for Liu Xie, Liu Xie will take him in. Of course, Liu Xie did not expect these tomb robbers to steal graves and dig graves, but formed an excavator army to be responsible for civil engineering. In addition, there is an army of diggers in the army of the expedition to the west, and it is the old profession that is in charge.

The ability of tomb robbers to watch the house is to watch the wind and water, and the second is to dig holes. For those who have been working underground all year round, digging a tunnel that leads directly to Ma Teng's residence is a no-brainer.

Three of the rangers who infiltrated Yuzhong this time were born as tomb robbers, and the three of them took turns to fight, and it only took half a day to dig a tunnel connected to Ma Teng's residence.

Ma Yunlu knew the inside story, and she was very much in favor of Liu Xie's rescue plan, so when the appointed time was approaching, she was more nervous than anyone else. Seeing this, Ma Teng comforted his daughter and said, "Yunlu, don't worry, since the saint said that he is sure, then there must be, let's wait with peace of mind." ”

"Father......" Ma Yunlu just said two words, and suddenly heard a sound from the floor tiles in the room, and then saw that the floor tiles on the ground were pushed from below and moved to the side, and a gray-faced head came out of the ground. Although Ma Yunlu was already mentally prepared, he still called someone to startle him. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and reached out to cover her mouth in time, so she didn't make a sound.

The person who came looked around, recognized Ma Yunlu, and immediately grinned, "Miss Ma, I've been waiting for a long time, the tunnel has been dug through, let's go quickly." ”

"Hmm." Ma Yunlu glanced at his father when he heard this, and when he saw Ma Teng nodding, he agreed.

……

The tunnel is bigger than imagined, two people can crawl side by side, this is not the time to pay attention, Ma Teng is in front, Ma Yunlu is behind, and the father and daughter escape along the tunnel. The tunnel climbed wider and wider, until it reached the small courtyard outside. Ma Teng looked at the people who responded, hugged his fists and thanked: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"General Ma is polite, we are just acting on orders. General Ma, without further ado, let's get out of the city as soon as possible, only when we are outside the city, we can be considered completely safe. ”

"Okay, how do we get there?" Ma Teng nodded yes.

"I still have to grieve General Ma for a while, and we have to climb out of the secret passage."

"Haha, it's okay, I've crawled once anyway, and it's okay to climb again." Ma Teng smiled and replied.

……

"Daddy, where are we going now?" When the father and daughter of the Ma family came out of the secret road, the person who had been waiting for a long time immediately greeted him, Ma Yunlu turned over and got on the horse and asked Ma Tengdao.

"Let's go and meet the Holy One first."

Not long after, Ma Teng saw Liu Xie, who got the news, and without saying a word, he knelt down on his knees and said to Liu Xie: "Ma Teng thanks the Holy God for his help." ”

"General Ma's words are serious, I am the king, you are the minister, you are in trouble, I, the king, have to find a way to rescue, hurry up." Liu Xie said as he reached out to help Ma Teng.

Ma Teng couldn't afford it, and continued: "The minister was confused in the past, but today he knows the kindness of the saint, and Ma Teng is willing to only be the head of the saint, and Ma Jiajun will accept the rearrangement of the imperial court from today." ”

Liu Xie didn't expect Ma Teng to suddenly make this decision. To be honest, Ma Teng's Ma Jiajun is also a piece of Liu Xie's heart, but he couldn't find a chance to start before, so he could only drag it for the time being. But now Ma Teng suddenly took the initiative to accept the reorganization of the imperial court, which is tantamount to handing over the military power in his hand to the imperial court.

"General Ma, you can think about it carefully."

"Shengshang, Ma Teng's ancestor is Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo, Ma Teng used to be selfish, showing the reputation of his ancestors, and now he repents, and I hope that the saint can give Ma Teng a chance to reform himself." Ma Teng replied without hesitation.

Liu Xie was silent for a moment, then helped Ma Teng up and said, "Since Ma Fubo is so sincere, then I will agree to your request." After this battle, the Ma family army was reduced to 20,000 people, and the required expenses were allocated by the imperial court. ”

"Thank you, Holy One, for your magnanimity." Ma Teng hurriedly thanked.

This decision was not made by Ma Teng on a temporary basis, after being imprisoned by Han Sui, Ma Teng, who was idle, also considered the future of the Ma family. If it weren't for the fact that he stood firmly on the side of the court at the beginning, maybe there would be the Ma family who fought against Han Sui today.

The imperial court will not sit idly by and watch the Ma family divide Xiliang! If the Ma family is not moved now, it is because Han Sui is in the way ahead, but once Han Sui is finished, even if the Ma family is obedient, the imperial court may not allow the existence of an army in Liangzhou that cannot completely obey the orders of the imperial court.

It may be a matter of time before the military power is surrendered, but the consequences of voluntary surrender and forced surrender are also completely different. Liu Xie, the son of heaven, really did not disappoint himself, although he gave up some of the people, but in the future, Ma Jiajun's food and clothing will be paid for, and there is no need to work hard by himself. What he needs to do is to lead Ma Jiajun to obey the orders of the imperial court and fight in all directions.

Ma Teng is not a very ambitious person, and he refused to hand over the military power before, first, because he was reluctant, and secondly, he lacked confidence in the imperial court. I am worried that the court itself will not be able to protect itself, and it will affect myself at that time. But after understanding it for a while, Ma Teng had enough confidence in the imperial court, especially in his attitude towards the Han and Qiang ethnic groups, which made Ma Teng feel that serving the imperial court was also a way out.

The successive victories of the imperial army's expedition to the west made Ma Teng see the hope of the revitalization of the imperial court, and also strengthened Ma Teng's confidence in surrendering to the imperial court. This time, Liu Xie sent someone to rescue the tiger's mouth, which happened to give Ma Teng an excuse to surrender.

"Ma Fubo, in this extraordinary period, let's dispense with all vulgar rites. At present, the imperial court intends to fight a decisive battle with Han Sui and Cheriji, and it is precisely when the Ma Jiajun is needed to contribute, I want to ask Ma Fubo to return to the Ma Jiajun immediately to preside over the overall situation and send troops to help. ”

"There is a decree from the saint, and Ma Teng received the order, so he returned to the army and led the troops. Yunlu, Daddy is in a hurry, it's not convenient to take you with a girl, you stay here in Shengshang, and wait for Daddy to settle the account with Han Sui and then come to pick you up. ”

“…… The battle is dangerous, please be careful. Ma Yunlu didn't object when he heard this, but just whispered.

"Holy Lord, the last general is gone."

"Be careful on the road, remember that you don't have to come to return to your life after you arrive with the army, just lead the troops into the battlefield."

"The last general has written it down."

Seeing Ma Teng leave the camp under the escort of dozens of soldiers, Liu Xie turned his head and said to Ma Yunlu: "Miss Ma, please go down and rest, and talk about it after the war." ”

"Holy Lord, I still have something to ask." Ma Yunlu saw that Liu Xie was leaving, and hurriedly said.

"What's the matter?"

"I wonder if the Holy Lord has my brother's whereabouts?"

"Your brother? Ma Chao Ma Mengqi? ”

"Exactly."

"No, I'm ordering people to look around, and I'll let Miss Ma know as soon as there is news." Liu Xie shook his head slightly and replied. Liu Xie didn't lie to Ma Yunlu, he really didn't know Ma Chao's whereabouts now. Seeing this, Ma Yunlu looked disappointed, nodded and thanked Liu Xie: "Then it will be troublesome for the Holy Lord to worry about it." ”

"It doesn't matter, Ma Jiajun will be included in the imperial court in the future, Ma Chao is also a fierce general, and if the imperial court wants to calm the world in the future, it will have to borrow his strength."

"I hope my brother is safe and sound." Ma Yunlu also said softly.

……

The words were divided into two ends, Ma Chao, who was being missed by Ma Yunlu, was lying in a felt bag at this time, and a girl was sitting next to him. Ma Chao was rescued, not long after being injured and escaping, Ma Chao lost consciousness because of his injuries and fell off the horse, and when he woke up again, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a pair of bright big eyes.

Due to his serious injuries, Ma Chao didn't want to move freely for a short time, and he was taken care of by the Qiang girl who saved him these days. Ma Chao himself is of mixed Chinese and Qiang descent, and he is used to contact with the Qiang people, so he naturally does not discriminate against the Qiang people. But as soon as he thought of the safety of the Ma family, Ma Chao couldn't lie down.

But Ma Chao wanted to go but couldn't, whenever he wanted to forcibly struggle to leave, the Qiang girl surnamed Yang would take out a wooden stick out of nowhere and hit Ma Chao's head hard to knock Ma Chao unconscious. If you want to put aside the peacetime, the ten Qiang girls can't beat Ma Chao, but the problem is that Ma Chao is now injured, and it is when he is weak, so he has not let people who know Ma Chao see it, otherwise the prestige that Ma Chao usually accumulates will disappear under the wooden stick.

"Don't do it, I just don't make a fuss." Ma Chao saw that the Qiang girl beside him reached out and wanted to touch the wooden stick, so he hurriedly spoke.

Qiang Nu smiled slightly when she heard this, turned around and took a bowl of goat's milk, handed it to Ma Chao and said, "Drink it, it's good for healing." ”

“…… Thanks a lot. Ma Chao hesitated, stretched out his hand and thanked him.

There was silence in the felt bag, Ma Chao usually either fights or practices martial arts, where does he know how to hook up with a woman, and he doesn't know how to be alone with a woman. Although he didn't speak, his heart felt like he was playing a drum, and he felt more nervous at this time than when he first went to the battlefield.

"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat. Qiang Nu broke the deadlock and asked Ma Chaodao.

"Thank you, I'm not hungry. That, haven't asked the girl's name yet? Ma Chao asked tentatively.

"My surname is Yang, and my single name is a jade, I don't know what to call my eldest brother?"

"My name is Ma Chao, my father Ma Teng, and now I am the county guard of Wuwei County in the imperial court, Miss Yang, I don't know what the situation of the Wuwei Ma family is now?" Ma Chao couldn't help but ask the question he was most concerned about without saying a word.

"Oh, so you're the Heavenly General."

"Alas~ What a heavenly general, it's just a false name. Miss Yang, I don't know ......"

"Sister, sister, is my brother-in-law awake?" A man's question came from outside the felt bag. Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, brother-in-law? Here is himself and Miss Yang, my brother-in-law can't be this Miss Yang, that's me? But why don't you know when you get married?

Yang Yu's face was flushed, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Ma Chao, who looked puzzled, and said softly: "My brother is talking nonsense, don't take it seriously." After speaking, without waiting for Ma Chao to speak, he turned his head and ran out of the felt bag, and then heard a man crying out for mercy from outside the felt bag.

Ma Chao couldn't help but feel funny when he heard it, shook his head and lay down again, closed his eyes and prepared to rest, the most important thing at the moment is to heal the injury first, and talk about it later. I didn't want to wait for Ma Chao to fall asleep again, a person got in, Ma Chao thought it was the previous Miss Yang, and didn't want to open his eyes and find that the person who came was a man, to be exact, a teenager.

"Who are you?" Ma Chao frowned and asked.

"Don't you care who I am? Are you my brother-in-law? ”

“…… Who is your sister? ”

"That's what I was here with you just now...... What, do you want to admit it? The young man's eyes began to become a little fierce, and he glared at Ma Chao and asked.

Ma Chao was stunned when he saw this, and asked in wonder, "Why do you think I'm your brother-in-law?" ”

“…… You're all lying down with my sister......"

"Aji, don't talk nonsense." Just as the young man said this, Yang Yu rushed in with a red face.

"I'm not talking nonsense, A-Niang said that only husband and wife can lie together. Sister, you and this person are lying in a bed, that is husband and wife...... Oops, oops~ My sister let go, and Aji knew that she was wrong. ”

Yang Yu pulled Aji out of the felt bag, then walked to Ma Chao and sat down, and said in a low voice: "Don't listen to Ajihu, nothing happened to me and you." ”

“…… Miss Yang, what the hell is going on? Ma Chao couldn't help but ask curiously.

Under Ma Chao's repeated questioning, Yang Yu told the truth, the matter is not complicated, Ma Chao began to get sick after being rescued by Yang Yu and bandaged his wounds, and his body was shivering, and Miss Yang in order to save Ma Chao, just like that Aji said, hugged Ma Chao all night to keep him warm. In order to achieve the best effect, Miss Yang and Ma Chao were naked at that time, Ma Chao was delirious at the time, so he naturally didn't know what was going on, but Aji happened to bump into Miss Yang when he came to find Miss Yang the next day, Aji was a big mouth, and the result was known to the world.

Ma Chao couldn't help but fall silent after hearing this, he really hasn't touched his children's private affairs, since he joined the army, he is focused on fighting, and Ma Chao is still a chick in the matter of children's private affairs. However, Ma Chao has also reached the age where he can marry a wife and have children, and then look at Miss Yang Yu's white skin, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, which is also in line with Ma Chao's aesthetics, but Ma Chao doesn't know how to speak at this time.

Miss Yang Yu misunderstood what Ma Chao meant, and when she saw that Ma Chao was reluctant to speak, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart. In terms of appearance, Ma Chao is still quite handsome, and in Yang Yu's heart, marrying this person is also quite good. It's just that this person hasn't said for a long time how he can speak as a girl.

"You don't have to worry about it, it's just a misunderstanding. By the way, I went to inquire just now, and I heard that the imperial army was confronting Han Sui's soldiers and horses in Yuzhong, and the Ma Jiajun stationed in Wuwei seemed to have also gone a few days ago. ”

"What?" Ma Chao was shocked, and as soon as he got up, he felt a tingling pain from the wound on his body, Yang Yu saw this and hurriedly held on to him and said, "What are you messing with, don't lie down quickly." ”

"Miss Yang, do you know who is leading the Ma family army now?"

"I heard that it seems to be called Ma Dai."

"Bo Zhan...... He's not a reckless man. Ma Chao said to himself.

"General Ma, you are still focusing on recuperating from your injuries at the moment, so don't worry too much about things outside." Seeing this, Yang Yu persuaded.

While he was talking, someone outside asked for instructions: "Miss, the team is almost ready." ”

"Well, I know, I'll come." Yang Yu responded, turned his head to Ma Chao, who looked puzzled, and explained: "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while." ”

Not long after Yang Yu left, Aji, who had been driven away by Yang Yu before, slipped in again, glaring at Ma Chao up and down angrily, Ma Chao was uncomfortable by Aji, and couldn't help asking, "Aji, what are you always looking at me like this?" ”

"Hmph, you have to remember what you look like as a negative person who doesn't admit it when you put on your pants, and when I grow up, I can seek revenge on you."

Ma Chao understood what Aji was referring to, and turned his face a little embarrassed to justify: "It's not that I don't admit it, it's just that there is a little situation in my family right now, and my father has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and now it's really not suitable for me to talk about my children's private affairs." ”

“…… Hmph, who knows if what you say is true or not. Let me ask you, do you like my sister? Aggie asked with a soft snort.

"Uh...... Your sister has a life-saving grace for me, and I am willing to go to the soup to repay this kindness. ”

"I asked you if you like my sister, what are you doing with me if you don't repay the favor? Anyway, I told you, if you don't hurry up and marry my sister, then you won't be able to marry my sister again. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ma Chao asked in confusion.

"My sister has been promised to a fat pig, and she will marry after she goes back this time......"

"Aggie!"

When Aji saw Yang Yu coming back, he stuck out his tongue and ran away again. Ma Chao looked at Yang Yu carefully and asked softly, "Just now Aji told me that you are going to get married when you go back this time?" ”

“…… Yes, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker......"

"Miss Yang, forgive me for being rude......" Ma Chao interrupted Yang Yu's words, looked at Yang Yu and asked, "Is the girl willing to marry?" ”

“…… There is a little bit of a situation in the family's business, and as the daughter of the Yang family, she naturally wants to share her worries for her parents at this time......" Without waiting for Yang Yu to finish speaking, Ma Chao interrupted loudly: "Miss Yang, there is something to ask for below." ”

"General Ma, please speak."

“…… I would like to ask the girl to hire a carriage and go with me to Yuzhong. ”
