Chapter 40: The Long Night
Ma Heng and Ma Teng came to the outside of the hall hand in hand, at this moment the rebel army who should have been in the barracks had already discovered that something was wrong, tens of thousands of troops surrounded the Taishou Mansion, and the 10,000 Ma Heng troops who sneaked in from the secret passage firmly guarded the Taishou Mansion and confronted the rebel army.

"Han Sui plotted to rebel and assassinated the leader of the alliance, Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, and now Han Sui has been beheaded by Ma Heng. Ma Teng shouted.
And the surviving generals who came out behind the two confirmed that this was true.
The army outside the gate was suddenly in a panic, and the rest of the departments couldn't help but distance themselves from Han Sui's department.
The only remaining candidate for General Han Sui was gloomy and uncertain, and he naturally knew about it, but he didn't expect it to fall short in the end.
Han Suijun, who had been prepared for a long time, led the most soldiers and horses to surround the Taishou Mansion, with a total of 20,000 soldiers, and at this moment, all the generals were looking at the candidates, waiting for him to give an order.
The candidate tightly held the weapon in his hand, did he avenge the Lord and enter the Taishou Mansion, or did he lead the army to escape from Xiliang City and take the opportunity to stand on his own?
The door of the Taishou Mansion suddenly opened, and in the company of Pang De Ma Teng Gaoshun, Ma Heng came out of the Taishou Mansion, holding a side seal secret letter, which was naturally forged, but the handwriting was absolutely indistinguishable from the real for a while.
"General Hou, before coming, the general's aunt also brought the meat she made with her own hands, and kept saying that she had not seen this little son for many years, and asked the general to wait for the war to end and go home to see. ”
The candidate's eyes were obviously moistened a lot, sighed, dismounted and knelt down: "The last general is willing to put things right." The 20,000 Han Sui troops looked at each other in unison, snapping, and the continuous sound of weapons falling, they finally abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
That night, Han Sui's troops were rushed into the camp by a group of angry Qiang soldiers, and a fierce conflict broke out, with hundreds of dead and wounded, and finally appeased by Ma Heng Ma Teng and the candidates who still wore the guilt, but they also had to place the original Beigong Boyu Bian Zhangbu and the original Han Sui Department in the east camp and the west camp respectively.
Ma Heng, who had been busy all night, finally returned to the Taishou Mansion. But he could not be idle, and he had to discuss with everyone about preparing for the funeral to be held in three days.
At the same time, Ma Teng, who returned to his house, was already waiting. Five or six cronies led by Ma Play.
They all knelt down and said, "I implore the lord to be located in the king of Xiliang!"
Ma Teng's complexion changed, and his spiritual sense spread infinitely, but fortunately, this was his own military camp, and naturally there were no idle people.
Seeing that Ma Teng did not immediately reprimand, Ma Play said again: "The alliance leaders have passed away, at this moment, who is still qualified to lead the Xiliang army except for the lord, although the eldest prince has made great achievements, after all, he is young and difficult to convince the public, at this critical moment, the lord still needs to preside over the overall situation, and it is not too late for him to pass on the eldest prince in the future!"
Ma Teng slowly sat on the Hu chair, his face was hesitant, it is not strange that people are ambitious, but it is strange that people are not ambitious, Ma Teng naturally can't talk about his loyalty to Ma Heng, of course, there is still kinship affection. However, it is not necessary to fight each other with real swords and guns, legally speaking, at this moment, the Xiliang Army is indeed the most qualified to inherit.
"With the prestige of the lord, the Qiang people must support the lord, and it is easy to find the support of the former border alliance lord. Headed by the lord and supplemented by the eldest son, it doesn't hurt the peace, so don't hesitate. Ma Yu came to Ma Teng's side and whispered.
"Hehehehehe. A chuckle came, a thick fog filled the air, and Jia Xu suddenly appeared.
The generals immediately drew their swords, and Ma Teng also stood up, looking at Jia Xu with cold eyes. All of them couldn't help but get wet, as if they had been caught red-handed.
"Wen He Bucai, there is a different opinion, why not take Ma Heng as the main and the general as the auxiliary?" Seeing that the generals were slowly approaching, Jia Xu smiled coldly, "According to a certain meaning, you should have been killed Ma Teng in the first place, the lord is benevolent and can't bear this, Ma Shoucheng, the lord can't bear it, but it doesn't mean that a certain ruthlessness is not hearted." The fog cleared, Jia Xu was nowhere to be found, and it seemed that Jia Xu had not entered the house from beginning to end. A warlock will not easily get close to a warrior who has murderous intent against him.
Ma Teng's face was uncertain, and finally glanced at the generals, and said very seriously: "Without a certain order, don't act rashly for me!"
The generals knelt down and said, "No." The generals may not be reluctant, among which the look of playing with horses is the most unwilling, but there are also soldiers who breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the generals left one after another, Ma Teng's face finally regained his calm, people have ambitions, and nature is also rational, Ma Teng does not want to meet Ma Heng in a short time, it is naturally feasible to be elected peacefully, but since it has been discovered, there is no peaceful election, Ma Teng does not have such great ambition as Han Sui after all, not to mention, Ma Teng's family and sons are all in the rear, under Ma Heng's control, although Ma Teng is sure that Ma Heng may not tear his face, the hateful scribe Jia Xu can do it.
At the same time, the original camp of the Bian Zhang, who was stationed in the camp that day, escaped a catastrophe, and the number one general of the Bian Zhang's subordinates, Cheng Gongying's house, also ushered in a young man with red and swollen eyes.
The young man's name is Bian Fu, the only son of Bian Zhang, and in one day, his father died, and he himself was the only son of the "King of Xiliang", from the prince to an ordinary general of the Xiliang Army. Bian Fu was unwilling, and under the pain, he came to Cheng Gongying and cried bitterly, "Uncle Cheng Gong." ”
Cheng Gongying sighed gloomily, hugging Bian Fu and couldn't help crying.
After a long time, the two slowly calmed down their painful hearts, and gritted their teeth and said the true purpose of this trip, "My father's death is full of suspicions, and Uncle Chenggong has to be the master of his nephew!"
Taking in the hatred and ambition in Bian Fu's eyes, Cheng Gongying, a rare resourceful general of the Xiliang Army, regained his calmness, and then called the guards to send off the guests.
Seeing that Bian Fu looked unwilling, he also had an angry gaze, "Everyone in front of my father treats you well, all of them are wolf-hearted things!" and left angrily.
Cheng Gongying sighed, eldest son, it's not that the minister is disloyal, the minister is for your safety, the Ma clan is powerful, and the candidate will definitely not let the eldest prince, you, the son of Bian Zhang, who has a deep blood feud, ascend to the throne, the Qiang people have always only obeyed the strong, and they are the same age, the eldest son, you are not as good as that Ma Heng in terms of meritorious ability and even personal strength, and you will die in the struggle for the throne.
Cheng Gongying, who was full of worries, but instead let go of an obsession in his heart, he was originally loyal and righteous, but he did not have the determination to track down the death of Bian Zhang, Bian Fu was right, Bian Zhang's death was full of doubts, although several surviving Bian Zhang guards all pointed to Han Sui rebelling and killing Bian Zhang, this should be undoubtedly true, but the sudden appearance of Jia Xu turned out to be Ma Heng's person from beginning to end, Bian Zhang's death may not have anything to do with Ma Heng, Cheng Gongying finally decided to give up, no longer delve into it, although it is necessary to turn against Bian Fu on the surface, I swear to die to keep this only bloodline for the lord, Ma Heng, I hope you don't kill them all, otherwise, a certain can only fight to the death!
Late at night, Ma Heng, who had completed his cultivation, received two urgent secret reports, which described in detail all kinds of things tonight, and the well-known things of Bian Fu in the Bian Zhang camp were naturally not difficult to investigate, and Ma Teng's affairs could also be reported in detail, it seems that some of the few cronies and generals around Ma Teng must be Ma Heng's secret room. With a slight smile, Ma Heng went to bed peacefully.
This incomparably long night finally passed, but the candidate department who was transferred to Xiying was extremely quiet, the candidate was not chosen, with Ma Heng's various commitments, the candidate was bent on ensuring Ma Heng's position, even if Han Sui was killed by Ma Heng, Han Sui's whole family, including Han Dian, who had a grudge with Ma Heng, was also killed. On the contrary, Ma Heng, who killed Han Sui's whole family, will try his best to protect himself and even Han Sui's department, because although Ma Heng ordered the killing of Han Sui's family, the person who did it was the remaining Han Sui's department headed by the candidate!
