Summary of the previous chapter: On the first day of the New Year, an official reminded Ma Xiaoquan to be careful...
Lisa smiled and said: "Well, I'm working hard. "
Hua Yue interjected: "Actually, Lisa and his father are working really hard, but with his brother House here, well, Ma Xiaoquan, I think the time you asked them for may have to be delayed a little."
Upon hearing this, Lisa blushed and waved her hands: "No, no, no, no, no, we, we will definitely finish it!"
Hua Yue stepped forward and took Lisa's hand: "Lisa, don't force it. We all know your efforts, but don't force it too much. What I said is good, and Ma Xiaoquan and he will definitely agree.
"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Lisa, your sister Yue'er is right. If you have difficulty, you should speak up. I will also give you some grace in time. Well, go back and tell your father that he should not force himself too much."
Come on, as you get older, your body is your most important asset."
Lisa's eyes were red, her mouth was flat, and she hummed heavily.
...
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly received an imperial edict, saying that the emperor thought of Ma Xiaoquan's continued support for the frontier and wanted to reward him well, and asked him to go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow to receive the reward.
There is no fake imperial edict, but who actually authored the content of the imperial edict, Ma Xiaoquan knew without guessing that it was Wei Zhongxian.
After the eunuch who delivered the edict left, Ma Xiaoquan took the imperial edict and frowned in thought.
Hua Yue stepped forward and said worriedly: "This imperial edict is clearly caused by Wei Zhongxian. Ma Xiaoquan, are you going or not?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and said: "The imperial edict has been issued. If I don't go, I will be resisting the edict! Wei Zhongxian is really insidious. If he calls me directly, I will definitely not go, so he came with such a trick, which I can't refuse."
"Then what do you do?"
"Needless to say, of course I went."
"But, there is nothing written in the imperial edict. What on earth are you going to do?" Hua Yue frowned slightly and said, "When Empress Lu killed Han Xin, she tricked him into the palace. Outnumbered, Han Xin was killed.
"Destroyed, if you enter the palace alone today, I'm afraid it will be very bad."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "You are right, but there is nothing written in Wei Zhongxian's hypothetical imperial edict, which will cause me a lot of doubts."
"Then now, can you deal with Wei Zhongxian?"
Ma Xiaoquan frowned and said: "I'm afraid I can't do it alone. Even if I am invulnerable, if I am entangled by them, I may not be able to escape..."
"In that case, how about I accompany you to the palace." Bei Mingxue suddenly walked out and said with a smile.
"Little girl Beiming, don't get involved. What are you doing to support me?"
Bei Mingxue said disapprovingly: "Ma Xiaoquan, my sister is very powerful."
"That's your sister, not you! What are you getting involved in?"
Bei Mingxue said: "My sister and I share the same body. Wei Zhongxian is very afraid of my sister. He will definitely be afraid when he sees me. Besides, how does he know who I am or my sister?"
Hua Yue nodded and said: "Miss Beiming is right, Ma Xiaoquan, why don't you bring Miss Beiming up to see Wei Zhongxian."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "It was okay before, but not now. I heard that the emperor is obsessed with carpentry and women recently. Bei Mingxue has such a peerless appearance, what should I do if the emperor steals it?"
Bei Mingxue smiled and said: "Ma Xiaoquan, are you worried that I will be snatched away by the emperor, hehe?"
"Go, go!" Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to explain to your grandfather, and I'm also afraid that your sister will suddenly wake up and do that to the emperor? So you can't go."
Hua Yue said: "If Miss Beiming can't go, then do you really plan to go alone?"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while and said: "No, Yue'er, there is a chapter in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, well, it's the part where Liu Bei went to welcome Sun Shangxiang..."
Hua Yue thought for a moment and said in surprise: "What do you mean..."
"Yes, isn't Wei Zhongxian so anxious to recruit me into the palace without saying anything? Well, then I will say it to everyone I meet. Well, let's just say that the emperor wants to give me a reward on behalf of Eunuch Wei. I
Ma Xiaoquan plans to take out all those rewards and donate them to the front line, well, that’s it…”
Hua Yue covered her mouth and smiled: "In this way, even if Wei Zhongxian wants to do anything to you, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
...
In the afternoon of that day, Ma Xiaoquan announced with great fanfare that the emperor was going to reward him. However, as the emperor had "many things to do", the reward would be handled by Eunuch Wei, and it was said that the amount of the reward was quite large, including the personal support of Eunuch Wei.
What about money...
Wei Zhongxian's family.
"Damn it!" Wei Zhongxian swore loudly and kicked over the chair next to him. "This bastard Ma Xiaoquan is such a thief. If he just said that, it's not true!"
Next to Wei Zhongxian, Li Yongzhen's face was also flushed.
It was his idea to fake an imperial edict announcing Ma Xiaoquan's entry into the palace, but who would have expected that Ma Xiaoquan's thieves would be killed. The news had already spread before the people came. Now, it seems that the swordsman and axeman arranged by the palace was in vain.
Yes, I tried to show off beautifully in front of Mr. Wei, but it all came to nothing.
"This bastard Ma Xiaoquan..." Li Yongzhen also cursed angrily.
Wei Zhongxian said: "Li Yongzhen, how will this situation end?"
Li Yongzhen scratched his head. He didn't dare to say that it couldn't be ended, otherwise it would be difficult to handle if Mr. Wei was angry.
"Master Wei, calm down. Ma Xiaoquan is just a grasshopper in the pot. He can't even jump a few times. In this case, it's just right. Doesn't Ma Xiaoquan want money? Then we will give him money, but let him deliver it in person, hehe
"
Wei Zhongxian rolled his eyes and said: "Let him deliver it in person? Li Yongzhen, what do you mean?"
Li Yongzhen said with a sly look on his face: "Master Wei, if Ma Xiaoquan delivers it in person, it will be a lot more famous. What do you think we should do if the 10,000 yuan of money is lost halfway?"
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he smiled: "Li Yongzhen, Li Yongzhen, you are really good. You can figure this out. Okay, then we will wait for Ma Xiaoquan to come."
"yes!"
...
Afternoon, Ma’s house.
Ma Xiaoquan sat on the chair in the study, looking at the note in his hand, his brows slowly twisted into the character "Chuan".
"What's wrong?" Hua Yue asked.
"Well, Wei Zhongxian issued another imperial edict, but he hasn't come here yet. He should be here soon."
"Again? What kind of imperial edict is it?"
"You should have agreed to the reward for me, but...I was asked to deliver it in person."
