Summary of the previous chapter: Zhang Mazi led the people to rescue Mrs. Zheng and took her to Tianlao to meet Ma Xiaoquan...
As a result... despite Wei Zhongxian's instigation and obstruction, Zhu Youxiao still did not agree to Zheng Long's second petition, and ordered Zheng Long to temporarily hand over the training rights in his hands to Wei Zhongxian to manage it on his behalf.
Zheng Long has two untouchables. One is the military training power in his hand, and the other is his wife. Now the emperor orders him to hand over the military training power, which is equivalent to asking Zheng Long to give his wife to
other people.
Of course Zheng Long was unwilling, but he couldn't refuse in front of the emperor.
In desperation, Zheng Long had to temporarily return to the inn to discuss countermeasures with his wife.
Zheng Long meant that he would not save him if he could not be saved, but Mrs. Zheng sharply blamed Zheng Long.
Mrs. Zheng was rescued by Ma Xiaoquan yesterday and encouraged her about her past. Mrs. Zheng is very grateful for this. Now her husband is afraid of losing the power in his hands and wants to retreat. Mrs. Zheng can't say anything.
allowed.
Mrs. Zheng did not tell Zheng Long about her past events last night because she knew that Zheng Long's temper was difficult to control.
But now, if he doesn't tell him, there will be no hope of rescuing Ma Xiaoquan.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng gritted her teeth and said, "Husband, there is something I have been hiding from you..."
Zheng Long was stunned for a moment and said: "What?"
Mrs. Zheng said: "Before we got married, I had a child..."
Zheng Long was stunned: "What child, whose child is it?"
Mrs. Zheng cried and told Zheng Long about the tragic experiences of the past. Zheng Long became more and more sad and emotional as he listened.
Zheng Long stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Zheng and comforted: "I can't blame you for that. I, Zheng Long, am also a rough guy. I haven't studied much. My ex-wife, Zheng Long, died young. If I hadn't met you,
I really don’t know how long I can live!”
Mrs. Zheng raised her head and choked up: "Husband, you should thank the Ma family more. If it weren't for the Ma family, we really wouldn't be able to get together!"
Zheng Long sighed: "Yes!"
"So, you can't give up rescuing Ma Xiaoquan. No matter what, General Ma Ruiqing saved you many times when he was in Ningyuan. General Ma and Mrs. Ma are still our matchmakers. Husband, they are both affectionate and reasonable. They treat us very well."
There is such a great kindness, and it is impossible to repay such kindness in a lifetime. Are you just holding back because you are worried that the training rights in your hands will be taken away? "
Zheng Long wondered: "But madam, this right to train soldiers is very important. Once it is taken away, Wei Zhongxian will never give it back to me!"
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "Of course I know. Who said you must pay the price of military power? Husband, what did you tell me before you came? At the moment, all your people are outside the city. Find someone to call you.
Come in and stand in front of Wei Zhongxian, what will Wei Zhongxian do then?"
Zheng Long nodded: "What a good idea, madam, but there are so many of us, how can we come in? The emperor has made a decree!"
Mrs. Zheng said: "My husband is a general, not a civil servant like those bitter fellows. If my husband forces his way into the city, who can resist it?"
Zheng Long scratched his head and said, "That's right! Hey, why didn't I think of that? Hehe, okay, then I'll settle in now and let those soldiers enter the city early tomorrow morning! Hehe!"
...
In the Tianlao, Ma Xiaoquan was playing chess with Zhang Mazi. Although the two looked like they were playing Go, they were actually playing backgammon.
Ma Xiaoquan taught Zhang Mazi how to play backgammon. Counting from the day Ma Xiaoquan taught Zhang Mazi, it was several days ago.
"Ha" Zhang Mazi dropped a chess piece and said to Ma Xiaoquan with a smile, "I finally beat you, Brother Ma, it's not easy, haha!"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and nodded: "Well, Brother Mu's chess skills have improved a lot. Well, the more you play backgammon, the more mature you become. In time, I will definitely not be Brother Mu's opponent, haha!"
Zhang Mazi smiled slightly: "No, I've played it for a long time. I didn't expect that Othello could be played in such a way. Gobang, haha, it's really vivid. I really didn't expect it! Well, by the way,
Brother Ma, do you think Mrs. Zheng will tell Zheng Long exactly what you said to settle Mrs. Zheng?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, put down the white flag in his hand, and said confidently: "Of course, if you don't have this confidence, you really won't be able to continue playing!"
"Then tell me, when will Zheng Long lead his people to rescue you?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "If I am not wrong in my estimation, Zheng Long's soldiers will be able to enter the city tomorrow, and Zheng Long will be able to take me out of this prison the day after tomorrow!"
"Oh? So confident? Aren't you afraid that I will tell Wei Zhongxian all your plans and estimates?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "As the saying goes, you don't have to trust people who are suspicious. I believe Brother Mu will not do this, right?"
"Haha!!" Zhang Mazi stood up and nodded, "Yes, I didn't expect that I would be attracted by your various novel ideas. To be honest, Brother Ma, I always feel that you are not of this era.
people!"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows: "Brother Mu, why do you say that? Didn't you say before that I am not Ma Xiaoquan? Why am I not a person of this era now? Well, with Brother Mu's level of knowledge, he can tell the second generation
Words are really not simple!"
Zhang Mazi's eyes narrowed and he said: "Sure enough, you are not from this era, are you?"
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged his shoulders: "I can't say it's not the case. I can only say that my circumstances are relatively good. I met an expert and he taught me a lot of knowledge! A lot of knowledge that I have never heard of or seen...
...This is also the reason why I was good before, fell down after my brother Ma Zhi died, and then rose again!"
Ma Xiaoquan's lie is really classic. Of course, it is also the product of his careful thinking in the past few days. After all, Zhang Mazi is not a big boss. On the contrary, this person is very alert. After talking to Zhang Mazi these days, he must be getting more and more right.
I have doubts. If I don't give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to conquer Zhang Mazi.
Zhang Mazi looked at Ma Xiaoquan, saw the sincere expression on his face, hummed, and sighed: "Then can you tell me what kind of encounters you have encountered?"
