Not to mention that Jin Yiwei has not yet left Beijing, Zhu Biao, a model of benevolence and brightness, has already set a conviction for Ma Ye. First of all, in the land of Guizhou, which is 7,000 miles away from Yingtianfu, Ma Ye is stationed on the city tower, and seeing that the Shuixi tribes outside the city are still silent, for several days, there is no sign of attacking the city...... Rao is he Ma Ye prides himself on being a high roller at the gambling table, and in the face of such a situation, he can't help but be anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

He forced Ai Cui to death and falsely sent urgent news to offend King Zhou...... All they did was to bet that the western part of the water would brazenly raise the flag, so that they could use their corpses to pave their own bright future prospects. The rewards of this gamble may be substantial, but the price to pay for failure is also staggering.

Even if he is the nephew of Queen Ma, he may be able to escape death...... However, if he fails, his official career will definitely come to an abrupt end.

This is more uncomfortable for Ma Ye, who is extremely utilitarian, than killing him directly.

But now, the Shuixi tribes still have no action...... This bet, it seems that he is really going to lose.

"Tongzhi-sama!" Ye An suddenly ran up to the city tower in a hurry, and then said to him mysteriously: "The brother who sent out the city to inquire about the news has returned!" ”

"Huh?" Ma Ye, who had a gloomy face, instantly came to his senses, "Quick, call him secretly!" ”

"Good students ask, maybe there is still a chance!"

In the past few days, Zhu Su's army left in the city has been monitoring Ma Ye's cronies in an all-round way, whether it is going to the city tower or going back to the house to rest, even if they go to the thatched house to go to the toilet, there must be Zhou Wangwei's soldiers like maggots on tarsal bones, watching them like a shadow.

Under such surveillance, he Ma Ye wanted to play some small tricks to further stimulate the western part of the water, which was also extremely difficult. But perceiving the stagnation of the movement in Shuixi, the Yi people, who were still violent, began to retreat and watch, and he quickly realized that something must have happened outside the city beyond his expectations.

Ma Ye, who was anxious, chose to take advantage of the cover of night to secretly fall one of his cronies into the city through a hanging basket, and ordered him to find out what was happening outside the city. The general of the Zhou Dynasty named Di Meng watched too closely, and it was definitely impossible to do it on a large scale, but if he just secretly sent one person out of the city, he could barely cover up the past.

For the sake of just fighting again......

"Tongzhi-sama."

The cronies with a dusty face were taken to the watchtower on the city tower, Ma Ye gave Ye An a look, Ye An understood, and led people to scatter to the surrounding area to look at the wind, in case they were detected by those Zhou Wangwei.

"Tell me, what's going on outside the city?" Ma Ye in the watchtower asked anxiously.

"Tongzhi-sama, that's ......"

The cronie is a proficient Yi person, and he really has some ability, and he has been out of the city for a few days and mixed in with the Yi people, and he really figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and at this time, he told Ma Ye the reason for this.

Ma Ye learned that it was Zhu Su who went straight to Shuidong that night, invited Song Qin's wife Liu Shuzhen, persuaded Mrs. Shuixi Shezi and the people to wait for the reaction of the imperial court, and couldn't help but scold: "Lao Tzu said that even if the ghost barbarian girl is a turtle with a shrunken head, Lao Tzu killed her man, and she must kill Lao Tzu and then quickly." ”

"It was the king of Zhou who pulled Shuidong in and stabilized Shuixi...... Speaking of which, Lao Tzu is still this cousin, how can he repeat it many times, bad Lao Tzu is a good thing! ”

The soldier who went out of the city to investigate, although he was Ma Ye's diehard cronies, was still frightened when he heard Ma Ye's disrespectful remarks about Zhu Su.

Fortunately, Ma Ye was just trying to talk fast for a while, but he didn't dare to chatter and scold Zhu Su there. He put away the scolding, turned to the cronie and asked, "What other valuable news?" Go on......"

"My lord, I don't have any other valuable news...... the cronie said, suddenly thinking of something, and then added: "I heard that in the middle of the water, a leader named Adu is quite dissatisfied with what Mrs. Shetz has done......

"Adu?" When Ma Ye heard this, he was very interested. "Tell me more."

So, this cronie then told Ma Ye all the things he inquired about in the western part of the water about what this Adutou man had done.

"Hey, this bird, it should be thinking about the position of the leader of Shuixi." Ma Ye sneered and judged.

He was also an ambitious man, and it only took a little thought to guess what Adu's intentions were. This Adu should be the kind of Yi people who are extremely narrow-minded and self-contained, and they are very dissatisfied with Ai Cui and Mrs. Shezi, who are close to the Ming Dynasty......

Can this matter be used as an opportunity to break the situation?

Ma Ye pondered. After a long time, a flash of determination finally flashed in his eyes.

"You go again, and remember my instructions, so and so, so and so ......" Ma Ye beckoned, let this cronie come over, and then said for a long time.

“…… Yes, adult, villain knows. The cronie hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly.

"Don't hesitate." Ma Ye saw the fright of this cronie, so he whispered in his ear: "It's okay, although his rank is higher than ordinary people, he still doesn't have two eyes and a mouth?" ”

"If you are human, you will die. If he doesn't die, it's you and me who die...... You are my cronies and soldiers, if something happens to me, I may not die, but do you think the court will let you live alone? ”

"But if you are loyal to me, even if you have trouble, I can arrange for your parents, wife and children...... What's more, if this matter is successful, the two of us will jump into the dragon gate and soar. If I can seal the territory outside the territory in the future, you will be my general! ”

After this big cake of grace and power, the cronies and soldiers who were still a little reluctant turned out to be like chicken blood in an instant.

"Well, go ahead." Ma Ye said. Then he summoned Ye An and whispered something. Ye An immediately went to prepare, so that this cronie could fall into the city again.

"I want to see, this time, what else can your King Zhou have, the means to make up the sky with one hand!" Seeing his cronies being thrown out of the city again, Ma Ye thought viciously in his heart.

…… Over there, in the camp in the west of the water.

In the camp, the atmosphere of slaughter has disappeared a lot, and only the white flags flying in the sky are still flying in the wind. On this day, Mrs. Schetz was gathering the chiefs to discuss the matter of food.

Food has always been the most important thing for a tribe to survive. These people just came here to ask for an explanation for Tusi Aicui, and they didn't expect it to be delayed for so long.

However, in the past few days, due to the rain, the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, and their scientific and technological level is limited, so it is difficult to quickly transport the grain stored in the stockade to ...... What's more, their stockade didn't have much grain in store.

In short, stationed here, they are running out of food.
