After parting ways with Diplodocus, Ma Xiaoquan was thinking about whether to rush to Nanyang now to see if he could find a solar recorder, but then he thought that if he went alone, he might not be able to do it. Moreover, just after Diplodocus left, Langya Valley
The matter has not yet been determined, so Ma Xiaoquan changed his mind and decided to go to Huayin first.
It was now late September of the second year of Xingping. Ma Xiaoquan made a rough calculation and concluded that if he set out from now on, he should be able to reach Huayin in early October.
As for why he wanted to go to Huayin, Ma Xiaoquan convinced himself that the little emperor was there.
Indeed, according to historical records, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who had fled abroad, would appear in Huayin in October.
Counting the time, Ma Xiaoquan had not seen the little emperor for a while. Although he had never had real face-to-face contact with the little emperor since the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Ma Xiaoquan had always had a question in his heart.
Historically, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty has been evaluated with mixed reviews. Of course, this was mostly due to the anguish of his untimely birth. So, is the little emperor who was already 16 years old the same as evaluated in history?
With strong curiosity, Ma Xiaoquan embarked on the road to Huayin.
A few days later, when Ma Xiaoquan arrived at Huayin, he had not seen the little emperor yet.
"That's not right!" Ma Xiaoquan looked at the sky and said to himself, "It's almost mid-October. Isn't this little emperor walking too slowly?"
After all, Ma Xiaoquan decided to wait for two more days.
At noon on the second day, Ma Xiaoquan was resting his mind on a tree with his eyes closed. He had just squinted at a stick of incense when he heard a burst of crying coming from not far away.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, opened his eyes, and jumped down from the tree.
Not far away, the little emperor led a group of civil servants and maidservants into Huayin in a mighty manner.
Ma Xiaoquan said heartily: The little emperor is here, but how can I appear more domineering? Hey, forget it, let's sneak over and take a look first.
...
On the little emperor's side, a bunch of civil servants cried for their fathers and called their mothers to complain.
I haven't had a full meal these past few days. Li Jue and others were harassing me in the front, and Guo Si came to rob me later. Although Guo Si ran away after the Dongchuang incident, we are still hungry...
.
Thinking of this, the little emperor couldn't help but burst into tears.
A group of civil servants saw the emperor crying, and followed him one by one, crying even more sadly.
However, crying can't solve the problem of hunger. Everyone stopped crying after a while. There is no way. Crying is also a labor-intensive job. The stomach is not full. How can it be so energy-consuming?
Someone gave the young emperor a suggestion to borrow food from people's homes. As soon as the suggestion was put forward, it was rejected by Dong Cheng and others.
Dong Chengdao: "You asked the emperor to borrow food from the people? You can come up with such a bad idea. The emperor is a noble person, how can he withstand such humiliation?"
The person who offered the advice fell silent upon hearing this.
Another person said: "In that case, why don't we borrow it instead of letting the emperor go in person?"
Dong Chengyi heard this and felt that this idea was feasible, so he asked the young emperor for instructions.
The little emperor was so hungry that he almost didn’t recognize his father. Of course, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty’s father had already died. When he died, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was not even old enough to pee in the mud. Whether he knew him or not, Xiao Jue believed that he must have
Since he knew me and I didn't know him, I couldn't find the strength to speak, so I spent a lot of energy before reluctantly nodding my head.
Seeing that the emperor agreed, Dong Chengyi immediately sent someone to borrow food.
...
After a while, the person who borrowed the grain actually borrowed the grain. Of course, he also attracted some common people from Huayin to watch the emperor.
The borrowed grain is not much, it is only enough for a few people. There is no way, now the war is in chaos and the grain harvest is bad, so it is good to borrow it.
Dong Cheng swallowed his saliva, presented the largest portion of food to the little emperor, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, would you like to eat some?"
The little emperor was not polite, snatched it away, and stuffed it into his mouth without looking at it.
Dong Cheng looked distressed and quickly got a bowl of water and handed it over.
The little emperor didn't even raise his head. He grabbed the water bowl with his other hand and put it directly to his mouth regardless of how embarrassed he was eating.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please slow down..."
The little emperor drank from the bowl of water until it was all gone, then threw down the empty bowl.
Dong Cheng cried: "Oh my god, are we going to continue like this?"
Dong Cheng's words made all the civil servants, servants and maids cry.
At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from not far away. The voice said: "Why don't you, the emperor, ask Duan Kuma for help?"
Dong Cheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly defended himself in front of the emperor and shouted: "Who is it, come out!"
The voice laughed twice, and then, not far away from the crowd, a purple-haired man with light green flames all over his body slowly walked out.
Yes, this purple-haired man is Ma Xiaoquan.
It is said that Ma Xiaoquan discovered after listening to the people's words that these people didn't know to ask Duan Kuma for help. Therefore, Ma Xiaoquan decided to use the "Green Spirit Fire" a little bit. Firstly, in order to reflect his domineering thoughts just now, secondly
, it is also for "I make a shining debut".
Sure enough, Ma Xiaoquan "astonished everyone with his skills" as soon as he appeared on the stage.
Not to mention that he was covered in light green flames, but the purple hair on his head was already extremely surprising.
However, after all, the little emperor was 16 years old and more sensible. He hid behind Dong Cheng and looked at Ma Xiaoquan opposite, feeling as if he had seen him before.
"Oh, it's him." The little emperor suddenly slapped his head, then pushed Dong Cheng away and pointed at Ma Xiaoquan, "It's you, it's you, you are the old thief Dong..."
What the little emperor wants to say is: You are an accomplice of the old thief Dong Zhuo, but the Dong Cheng who stood in front of him just now is also named Dong.
Dong Cheng blushed when he heard this. Although he knew that the little emperor had not mentioned him again, Dong Zhuo's surname was Dong, and my mother's surname was Dong. Your Majesty, you are an "old thief Dong", wouldn't you kill us all?
I scolded you.
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and extinguished the green spirit fire on his body.
"My dear emperor, do you want to say that I am an accomplice of the old thief Dong Zhuo?"
Just as the little emperor was about to reply, Dong Cheng took over and said sternly: "Of course you are!"
"Huh?" The little emperor looked at Dong Cheng with some dissatisfaction. Dong Cheng blushed again and lowered his head in shame.
The little emperor asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Aren't you?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I am a god, how can I associate with that kind of person? I just do things according to God's will."
The little emperor was stunned and said in surprise: "Are you a god?"
Ma Xiaoquan did not answer, but his calm expression, coupled with his purple hair, could be regarded as an answer to the little emperor's words.
The little emperor was not polite and said directly: "Since you are a god, why don't you conjure some food for us all to enjoy!"
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward, slapped the little emperor hard on the head, and cursed: "You are already so depressed, and you still want to enjoy it?"
Ma Xiaoquan's slap immediately aroused everyone's vigilance. The emperor's personal guards accompanying him drew their sabers and pointed them at Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, stretched out his hand to grab the water bowl that the little emperor had just taken, and concentrated for a moment, the water bowl immediately started to "click", and within a few breaths, the water bowl was like a brittle stone.
Just like that, it shattered into pieces.
"Hiss" When everyone saw it, they were startled.
Ma Xiaoquan was afraid that everyone would fight back desperately, so he clapped his hands quickly and said: "Don't worry, I'm not here to harm you, I'm here to help you!"
Dong Cheng didn't believe it, so he quickly pulled the little emperor behind him and shouted: "Why do you ask us to believe you?"
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged: "I have just said that you can ask Duan Kuo for help. As for you, whether you believe it or not, I can't do anything."
The little emperor stuck his head out: "Then can you guarantee that Duan Kuma will come to rescue me after receiving my order?"
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips: "It's not a question of rescuing the driver, but it's still possible to manage how many meals you people have."
The little emperor rolled his eyes, looked at the entourage around him, gritted his teeth, and said: "Okay, then I will listen to you once, pass on my will, and order Duan Kuma to come to rescue you."
...
Duan Kuma was a good person. At least when he received the emperor's "order", he respectfully agreed. Although the little emperor was in a very poor situation at this time, Duan Kuma still came quickly to deliver food and clothing to the emperor.
Seeing this group of people scrambling for food and clothing like hungry wolves, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but sigh: "This is such a troubled world."
After Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, he also joined the food-grabbing team. There was no way, driving the Green Spirit Fire was very energy-consuming. At this moment, Ma Xiaoquan was actually very hungry.
Duan Kuma felt very uncomfortable when he saw a group of people fighting for food, but when he saw a man in rich clothes and purple hair also grabbing food, Duan Kuma couldn't help it and asked a man who had already eaten.
The accompanying civil servants asked, "Who is that person?"
Wen Chen replied: "Oh, you said the one with purple hair is a god."
Duan Kuma scratched his scalp and said in surprise: "Do gods also eat? That's strange..."
...
After finally having a good meal, everyone now understands that all the glory, wealth, beauty and jewelry are not as real as having a full meal when you are hungry.
The young emperor ordered Dong Cheng to come forward and thank Duan Kuma, but the young emperor did not know that Dong Cheng and Duan Kuma were not on speaking terms.
Although Dong Cheng carried out the emperor's order, his lukewarm expression made Duan Kuma very unhappy.
Duan Kuma shook his sleeves and came back angrily.
Ma Xiaoquan has seen all this, but as he is familiar with history, he will never step forward to dissuade him in any way, because there will be other good shows to watch next.
Ma Xiaoquan peeled an egg and swallowed it with satisfaction.
When the little emperor saw Ma Xiaoquan eating an egg, he also picked one up, peeled it open and ate it.
"Ahem!" The little emperor ate a little too hard and choked all of a sudden.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and patted the little emperor's back gently: "Slow down, slow down, no one will compete with you, eat slowly!"
The little emperor coughed for a long time, then raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "God, you are so kind!"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Don't praise me. Everything I do is in compliance with destiny. As for whether it is good or not, let's not talk about it anymore."
...
The little emperor was very happy that Duan Kuma came to rescue the driver and deliver food. He immediately commended Duan Kuma after dinner and promoted Duan Kuma to an official position. However, as the court was currently in exile, the little emperor had to order the commander to write it down first.
, I will make a reward later.
Listening to the little emperor's praise of Duan Kuma, Dong Cheng felt very uncomfortable. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the more he thought about it. Finally, the strong jealousy made Dong Cheng jealous. He pulled Yang Feng over and asked
: "Does Kuma have any enemies in that period?"
Yang Feng thought for a moment and nodded: "General Hou, Yang Ding!"
Dong Chengyi patted his thigh: "Okay!"
The two of them put it together and laughed evilly...
Yang Ding received Dong Cheng's superstition, opened it and took a look, and was very angry.
"How dare Duan Kuma take the lead on me? Someone is here..."
Yang Ding called his subordinates to him, and together they all decided to falsely accuse Duan Ku of treason.
Just do what you say, and the rumor of Duan Kuma's rebellion soon spread to the ears of the little emperor. The little emperor didn't believe it at first, but some lower-level officials also said that Duan Kuma was committing rebellion. Not only was he committing rebellion, he heard that Guo Si was also involved.
Duan Kuma's army.
The little emperor was convinced this time.
However, whether to believe or not to be punished is another matter.
Regardless of whether Duan Kuma rebels or not, he is provided with three meals a day. If Duan Kuma is approved, what will he do with his meals in the future?
The little emperor hesitated, and really couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Ma Xiaoquan, the immortal next to him.
Ma Xiaoquan had known that this episode would happen, so he told the young emperor to ask the Taiwei.
The young emperor followed his words and recruited Taiwei Yang Biao and others.
Yang Biao didn't believe Duan Kuo's rebellion at all. Furthermore, it was well known that Yang Ding and Duan Kuo were not on good terms. It just so happened that Yang Biao hated Dong Cheng and Yang Feng, so he advised the young emperor to
Think before you act.
At this time, the little emperor really didn't know what to do.
With this hesitation, the little emperor's edict could not be issued.
Yang Dingyi saw that he was afraid that the situation would change, and he didn't care whether there was an edict or not, so he decided to fight first and then talk about it.
In late October of the second year of Xingping, Yang Ding raised his troops to attack Duan Ku.
Duan Kuma is really a figure. Yang Ding beat him for more than ten days, but to no avail. Duan Kuma not only actively fought against Yang Ding's army, but also provided three meals a day to the little emperor and others as usual.
The little emperor eats with fear these days, but Ma Xiaoquan doesn't care about so much. You don't want to eat the chicken legs, right? I will! You won't eat the eggs, right? I will eat! You won't eat the lamb legs, right? I will eat! You will also eat the cakes.
Don't want to eat? Okay, then I will...
Just as Ma Xiaoquan was about to pick up the cake, the little emperor snatched it away and said with a wry smile: "God, you have finished all my food in this moment."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, picked up a piece of cake again, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Yang Ding and Duan Kuma won't be able to fight for long. Then you can just issue a ceasefire edict."
When the little emperor heard this, his eyes lit up: "Is this true? Can they listen to me?"
