Summary of the previous chapter: Zheng Long asked the emperor to let Ma Xiaoquan go, but failed because Wei Zhongxian interfered. Zheng Long wanted to back down, but Mrs. Zheng refused...
Ma Xiaoquan had long expected that Zhang Mazi would ask him this question. He frowned and said, "Actually, I really can't go into details about this matter, but if Brother Mu wants to hear it, I can only say what I can.
After all, I promised that master back then!"
Zhang Mazi's eyes sparkled and he asked: "Then that expert is..."
Ma Xiaoquan deliberately frowned and said: "Brother Mu, you should know Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang's master, Huang Shigong, right?"
Zhang Mazi was stunned and asked: "Could it be that the person who taught Brother Ma such novel knowledge is the old man Huang Shigong? Oh no, if it is true, then he should be the old immortal?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, still frowning: "That's true, but I never dared to ask more!"
"In that case, Brother Ma is a student of the gods. How disrespectful!" Zhang Mazi stood up and bowed to Ma Xiaoquan.
"Hey, Brother Mu, please don't praise me. I'm just a mortal. Well, it was the senior or the teacher who taught me some special tricks! Well, for example, like this
..." Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand and gently tapped the spout of the teapot on the table. Hearing a clicking sound, the teapot actually broke into pieces.
Zhang Mazi snorted and said in surprise: "What kind of kung fu is this? Is it so good?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "It's not considered Kung Fu, well, or so to speak, it can be barely called magic."
"Spell? It's so amazing, so amazing!" Zhang Mazi looked at Ma Xiaoquan with admiration on his face.
Ma Xiaoquan was secretly proud, but he was not careless. He had to work harder to completely subdue Zhang Mazi for his own use.
...
The next day, the training troops stationed at the gate of Beijing suddenly attacked the city gate and forcibly occupied the city gate on the pretext that a comrade was missing.
Of course, everyone is our own people after all. Although they are occupied, the order is not chaotic. On the contrary, it is much better than before.
Under the city gate, Zheng Long raised his head and looked up, shook his head and said: "At this level, if the Jurchen army really came one day, wouldn't they really open the city gate to let in? Hey, my Ming Dynasty
ah......"
A subordinate general walked up to Zheng Long respectfully and said: "General, the city gate has been captured and the news has been spread. It will not take long for Wei Zhongxian to react."
Zheng Long nodded and said: "Okay, I understand! Ask a few capable brothers to watch over this place, and the rest of you will follow me! Meet the emperor!"
"yes!"
...
The news that Zheng Long captured the city gate not only reached the ears of Wei Zhongxian, but also reached the ears of Ma Xiaoquan through Zhang Mazi's tile bird.
Sitting in the rocking chair, Ma Xiaoquan was eating oranges. Zhang Mazi stood beside him, frowning slightly and said: "Brother Ma, Zheng Long's behavior is a bit flamboyant. I'm afraid it's not good for him!"
Ma Xiaoquan spit out the orange seeds and said with a smile: "Although Zheng Long is brave and foolhardy, he is not stupid. Didn't we send someone to send a letter to Mrs. Zheng last night? The letter is very clear. Mrs. Zheng must have read it.
Well, I will help Zheng Long! Well, not to mention, brother Mu, those squirrels of yours are good at detecting information and delivering letters. The inn is guarded by Zheng Long’s guards, so they can all believe in the gods.
It was delivered to Mrs. Zheng without anyone noticing, it’s amazing!”
"Haha, thank you! Well, what if it's too late? After all, the emperor wants Zheng Long to hand over the power to train soldiers! If Zheng Long resists the decree, it will be a death penalty!" Zhang Mazi said anxiously.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Don't worry about that. The so-called emperor's will is actually just made up by Wei Zhongxian. Zhu Youxiao is still a child after all. A person like Zheng Long who can shout can only stand in front of Zhu Youxiao and yell twice.
With his voice, Zhu Youxiao is probably scared out of his wits! Besides, Zheng Long is a man who loves his wife deeply. Wherever he goes, his wife will definitely follow him."
Zhang Mazi said: "Brother Ma, the emperor is so criticized by you, it is absolutely worthless, hey!"
Ma Xiaoquan asked Zhang Mazi: "Brother Mu, isn't it?"
Zhang Mazi smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing: "I just don't know how long our Ming Dynasty can last... ugh"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and asked tentatively: "Brother Mu, if I, Ma Xiaoquan, invite you to plan something big together, will you be willing?"
"Planning something big? Do you want this world?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I don't. I have been to Ningyuan. The Jurchens are already very powerful. If our Ming Dynasty wants to successfully fight against the Jurchens, unless the generals like Li Guang, Huo Qubing, Wei Qing and others are there, and they will be present in the court."
It is only possible with unanimous support. Hum, right now, my Ming generals far away in Liaodongning, uh, including my Ma Jiajun, although they are all brave and good at fighting, they have to deal with things like food and pay themselves. The rear area is not stable, so how can we guard the frontier?
?”
"Then what you mean is that my Ming Dynasty will soon..."
"Brother Mu, you said this, I didn't say it, haha."
Zhang Mazi shook his head: "Hey, what can we do? When the Jurchens enter Beijing, who knows whether they will be like those Mongolians in the Yuan Dynasty, massacring the people of our Ming Dynasty and robbing our women of Ming Dynasty...
..”
"If there really is such a day, it will definitely happen, and none of us can stop it..." Ma Xiaoquan said with some helplessness.
Zhang Mazi looked at Ma Xiaoquan, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why do I feel that Brother Ma, you seem to know something?"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows: "You can say that, so I invited Brother Mu, are you willing to help me in our great cause?"
Zhang Mazi fell silent.
Ma Xiaoquan felt depressed in his heart. This Muzhi is really a hard nut to crack. I have kneeled before me, but now it seems that I am still undecided. Damn it, I have touched this guy’s weak spot Ma Ye, but I still haven’t touched it.
Go to the numb place.
"Haha, Brother Mu doesn't have to answer me immediately. You can think about it more!" Ma Xiaoquan said to smooth things over.
"Well, good!"
...
Ma Xiaoquan's prediction was correct. After Wei Zhongxian knew that Zheng Long had captured the city gate, he immediately led the Dongchang factory guards and the Jinyi guards to the city gate.
Hurrying slowly, we arrived at the city gate and realized that Zheng Long had led a large army to the palace from the alley.
