Chapter 43: Lao Jiu's Ambition

It's nine o'clock in the evening when Lao Jiu is online again, tonight's Kyoto seems to be extraordinarily calm, most of the shops are closed after dark, and there are too few pedestrians on the street, maybe they are all in the Kyoto incident last night and haven't come out, and the shadow left by the war is not so easy to erase.

Lao Jiu went to Guan Ping'an and their military camp first, he was going to visit Marshal Ma, and then discuss some things with him.

"It's good that the marshal is awake, and now he feels like this?" When he saw Marshal Ma who had woken up in bed, Lao Jiu was also comforted.

"Ma Mou thanks the ninth master for saving his life, please forgive Ma for his inconvenience and can't personally thank the ninth master." Seeing Lao Jiu coming, Ma Jun wanted to get up and thank him, but he was not physically supportive, so he had to bow his hand. When he woke up, Guan Ping'an had already recounted the experience to him.

Lao Jiu also admired the marshal as a person, and couldn't bear the marshal's hatred of Jiuquan, so he came to the rescue, and it was a pity that the marshal's talent was defeated. Today, Lao Jiu came to visit the marshal, and he also had an important matter to discuss with the marshal. Lao Jiu looked at Marshal Ma and said politely, and then he gave Guan Ping'an another look.

"The wind is still relatively tight, I'm going out to see it for myself, so as not to miss anything, Marshal Ma will talk to the Ninth Master first." When Guan Ping'an saw Lao Jiu's view, he immediately found an excuse and went out.

"If the ninth master has anything to say, just say it." Marshal Ma looked at Lao Jiu and said silently, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Alas...... It's Lao Jiu who can't live with the marshal, Lao Jiu knows that the marshal is unwilling, but Lao Jiu can only keep you and the baby, but Lao Jiu knows that Yangzhou Ding is suspected of being important, not that Lao Jiu can get involved, so Lao Jiu hopes that the marshal can understand, for you and the child, I hope you can agree to hand over Yangzhou Ding. Lao Jiu looked at Marshal Ma and said sincerely.

"Doesn't the Ninth Master have any ideas?" Marshal Ma lowered his head and asked lightly.

"Hehe, I think the marshal is thinking too much, with Lao Jiu's current status, taking things will only make Lao Jiu ruined." Lao Jiu smiled and replied unmoved.

"If the Ninth Master is willing, my Ma Jun is willing to do his best to help the Ninth Master, even if it is to let Longzi be a puppet, I only hope that the Ninth Master can give him a lifetime of glory, my Ma Jun is really unwilling to be defeated like this." Suddenly, Marshal Ma raised his head and looked at Lao Jiu's eyes shining.

"Presumably Marshal Ma should know about the Kyushu Ding, and the Yangzhou Ding is just one of them, so I hope Marshal Ma can take a long-term view." Lao Jiu just glanced at Marshal Ma lightly, and then sat down beside him.

"I don't know what the Ninth Master said about this?" Marshal Ma asked suspiciously.

"I hope Marshal Ma can exchange this tripod for a hope for the future." Lao Jiu whispered.

"Oh? Please also ask the ninth master to make it clear. Marshal Ma arched his hand.

"I asked you to withdraw the army in the south as a marshal, give up the southern cities without blood, and then choose a small city as a place to live, and use this as a condition to hand over Yangzhou Ding, I think there should be your people in the south, right?" Lao Jiu said.

"I have 100,000 border troops in the south, and most of my cronies are in the north, but unfortunately they are all disrupted now, besides, how can they let us have hundreds of thousands of troops and occupy a city alone?" Marshal Ma asked puzzled.

"Tell me first, is there any vice-city that is geographically remote and has no economic resources and can only be maintained by the reluctant supplies of the imperial court?" Lao Jiu asked a strange question.

"There is a trapped dragon city in the northeast of Phoenix City, this city is dependent on the supply of the imperial court to survive, the city is basically the family members of the soldiers guarding the border pass, and the trapped dragon city is fifty miles north of the North Dragon Pass, the court put the relatives of the border soldiers in the trapped dragon city The purpose is also to let them defend the border pass, if the pass is broken, then the first batch of bloodbathed will be their relatives. Alas...... This is also the sorrow of the border guards. In fact, they are also willing to be with their loved ones. Marshal Ma said at the end and couldn't help sighing.

"If the marshal believes Lao Jiu's words, then you will do what Lao Jiu says." Lao Jiu looked at Marshal Ma and said with a serious face.

"The lives of Ma and the little master were saved by the Ninth Master, and the Ninth Master has nothing to say." Marshal Ma hurriedly bowed his hand.

Then Lao Jiu began to talk to Marshal Ma, and he told Ma Jun about his plan and asked Ma Jun to fully cooperate. In fact, there is a little emperor in the hands of Lao Jiu, and Ma Jun can only listen to Lao Jiu, but Lao Jiu used another method to make Ma Jun surrender, and from then on, Ma Jun will be regarded as a general under Lao Jiu.

With the help of Lao Jiu's spare strength, Ma Jun was able to get out of bed and move in three days, but Kyoto has been shrouded in a layer of haze for the past few days, as if something big has pressed the whole Kyoto to breathe. But Lao Jiu was clear in his heart, that is, the people above couldn't find Yangzhou Ding, and they were already in a hurry.

For another three days, Lao Jiu had dinner at the Moon Tower in Kyoto on the pretext of thanking Ye Cheng and Zuo Qiuyi for allowing him to own Qinling Villa, and Lao Jiu was accompanied by Long Sifeng.

"This time, I really want to thank the two uncles for letting Lao Jiu have such a big family business overnight, but today I saw the two uncles with good faces, is there anything else that can't be done? If you can use the place of Lao Jiu, just speak.,Although I'm a college student.,But I'm still a little capable in the game.,Two uncles, don't be polite to me.。 Halfway through the meal, Lao Jiu began to deliberately change the topic.

"Alas...... Something happened, we lost something very important. But Kyoto is so big, but how can you find it? Ye Cheng put down his chopsticks and said with a sad face.

"What is so important? I'm a bit of a guy in Kyoto, so why don't I find it for you? Maybe you'll find it. Lao Jiu pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"Alas...... It's better that you still don't know, it's better to see the providence. Zuo Qiuyi also sighed, from the bottom of his heart, he still didn't want Lao Jiu to know too much.

"Hehe, I feel like I'm absolutely lucky in the game, maybe I'll find something after eating this meal." Lao Jiu said half-jokingly. It sounded like he was comforting them. But Long Sifeng next to him rolled his eyes when he heard it.

"This lord, you can't go in, you ......"

"Get out of here!" At this time, there was a quarrel outside, and Lao Jiu knew that the main owner was coming as soon as he heard it, and sure enough, Ma Jun pushed open the door and walked in, while Xiao Er was pushed aside by him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the little ones can't be stopped, and please be considerate." Xiao Er in the back looked at it and hurriedly made amends on the side.

"Huh? Is there anyone else in Kyoto who dares to smash my old nine's dinner? Lao Jiu pretended to be surprised at this time, then stood up and protected Long Sifeng behind him, pretending to do something.

"Xiao Jiu, don't move yet." Ye Cheng hurriedly stopped Lao Jiu, he remembered this fierce man clearly, more than a hundred and twenty-level masters under his command were killed by him alone for seventy or eighty, and finally he was able to break through and run away, and the people present definitely couldn't stop this guy, so he could only stop Lao Jiu, and then try to calm himself down, he looked at Ma Jun and asked, "I don't know why the general is here?" ”

"Humph! We don't speak secretly, I can help you withdraw the army from the south, give up all the cities in the south, and give you what you want, but you must promise me and my warriors a place to live. Ma Jun pretended not to see Lao Jiu and Long Sifeng, and said coldly to Ye Cheng and Zuo Qiuyi.

"Oh? Please also ask the general to sit down and talk in detail. A hint of joy flashed on Zuo Qiuyi's face, he glanced at Ye Cheng, and then made a gesture to Ma Jun and said.

"I want a sub-city in the south, it doesn't matter whether the economy is developed or not, but it must be prosperous in agriculture, so that my soldiers and relatives can have a peaceful old age in the future. That's my only condition. Ma Jun was not polite, pulled a chair and sat down with a grin. Lao Jiu hurriedly pulled Long Sifeng to the side and flashed, and then the two of them sat down by this Ye Cheng.

"General, this is difficult for us, you also know, we can't let you lead troops to own a city, if you are willing to give up the military power, we are willing to let you be a city lord, enjoy the glory and wealth of the rest of your life." Zuo Qiuyi said tentatively.

"Hmph, do you think I'm Ma Jun for myself? I can't let go of my brothers who live and die together on the battlefield, if you are willing to give us a city as a place to live, we will never meet you in battle, and live the rest of our lives in peace, otherwise we will die and we will only see you on the battlefield. Ma Jun said very strongly.

"General Ma, I don't think you want to see your brother bleeding senselessly, do you? Your dynasty has passed, and it is impossible to continue any longer, so I hope you can give up, and if you are willing to hand over your weapons and armor, then we may consider giving you a city so that you can live your life in peace. Zuo Qiuyi said in a different way.

"Hehe, what are you going to do with us reckless men who can only fight on the battlefield? What's more, now in troubled times, if we put down the weapons in our hands, who will protect our relatives? Do you guys? Ma Jun sneered twice and asked rhetorically.

"If the general insists on doing this, I think we may have a great chance of meeting each other!" Zuo Qiu Yi also said strongly.

"So you mean there's no need to talk about it?" Ma Jun said with a glare.

"It's not that we don't have to talk about it, but the general won't let us take this step, so we can't do anything." Zuoqiu Yidao.

"Since you don't give us a way to live, then my Ma army has nothing to say, I have 300,000 troops from all walks of life in the south, I will issue the highest military order, gather all the troops and fight with you to the end, and then I will also implement the scorched earth policy to break the boat, then we will only see you on the battlefield, and besides, don't think about what you want in the future." Leave! Ma Jun seemed a little annoyed, and after some harsh words, he stood up and prepared to leave.
