The maid was stunned, thought for a while, and then shook her head: "No, Mr. Ba said, he will never be like the Mongols."
"Eighth Master?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned, thinking who is this Eighth Master?
"Oh, Master Ba is our Great Khan!"
"Fuck~" Ma Xiaoquan cursed in a low voice, and then asked the maid, "If you dare to call the Great Khan that, then you must be his maid?"
"Hmph~~" The maid suddenly raised her head arrogantly, "I'm not his maid. Hum, the words of you Han people are really difficult to understand. But fortunately, Master Ba has always asked people to teach me. My name is Bumu Butai.
You can also call me Bafujin."
"Bafujin? Bumubutai?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned, thought about it carefully, and said in surprise, "You...are you the Queen of Xiaozhuang?"
"Queen Xiaozhuang? What is Queen Xiaozhuang?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No, no, I made a mistake. Are you a sweaty woman?"
"Yes~"
"Then you were dressed like this, and you poured me tea before..."
"Why, can't you? I have nothing to do anyway, so I told Master Ba that I would play the role of a maid, hehe, it's quite interesting... But you, Ma Xiaoquan, I don't like you~
"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "I won't marry you. It doesn't matter whether you like me or not. I won't be able to stay here long anyway."
"Hey, you are really good at talking~" Bumbutai picked up the dagger from the ground, wiped it on his sleeve, and asked Ma Xiaoquan, "I ask you, why can't my dagger penetrate your body?"
In?"
Ma Xiaoquan couldn't laugh or cry: "If it gets stuck in, then I won't wear my braids anymore?"
"Cut your braids up?" Bumubutai was stunned for a moment, "What does up your braids mean?"
Ma Xiaoquan snorted and said, "Don't you Jurchen men all have braids? When fighting our Ming army, as long as you are beaten to death by us, won't your braids stand up?"
"Oh, that's it..."
"Okay, you're done making trouble. It's time to go out. I'll be attending a dinner party later~"
"No, you must explain clearly today, why can't my dagger penetrate your body?"
Ma Xiaoquan was helpless and lied: "We Han people have a magical skill that can make us invulnerable after practicing it. I am lucky enough to have practiced it a little, so..."
"Invulnerable? I don't believe it~"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Then how can you believe it?"
Bumbutai blinked and said, "Unless, unless you let me stab you again."
"Fuck~~" Ma Xiaoquan wanted to scold her mother. This little girl was just messing around. How could she say it so easily after being stabbed?
"Then where do you want to stick?"
Bumubutai pointed at Ma Xiaoquan's chest and said, "Just pierce it there~"
Ma Xiaoquan was really helpless: "Okay, okay, come on, come on~"
Bumbutai chuckled, picked up the dagger, and stabbed Ma Xiaoquan in the chest without hesitation.
Where was Ma Xiaoquan waiting for her to stab him again? She had succeeded because he was resting and didn't know it.
"Yeah~" Bumbutai screamed and stabbed out the dagger. When he saw that the dagger was about to hit Ma Xiaoquan's chest, Ma Xiaoquan grinned and dodged sideways.
Bumbutai was stunned for a moment, and at the moment when she was stunned, Ma Xiaoquan reached out and snatched the dagger from her hand.
"You~~" Bumbutai came back to his senses, stamped his feet angrily, and said, "How can you be so dishonest?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and turned the dagger in his hand, saying, "I didn't. I said come on, come on. Didn't I say I would stand still and let you stab me?"
"You, you are obviously sophistry! Sophistry!"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Hey, you all know the word quibbling, it's not bad~~"
Bumbutai bit her lip tightly. Suddenly, she jumped and rushed towards Ma Xiaoquan.
Her move was too sudden. Although Ma Xiaoquan had already reacted, he was still jumped by this little girl. She hugged Ma Xiaoquan's neck and wrapped her legs around Ma Xiaoquan's waist.
Dropping the dagger, Ma Xiaoquan grabbed her dishonest hands with his backhand, and then twisted them hard, not caring whether she hurt or not, and forcefully tore her off her body.
Bumu Butai was very tolerant, and Ma Xiaoquan's movements were almost rough, but she gritted her teeth without saying a word and struggled to break free. The strength of her struggle was beyond Ma Xiaoquan's expectation.
In desperation, Ma Xiaoquan could only wrap his arms around her legs and pick her up horizontally.
Ma Xiaoquan hugged Bu Mu Butai so hard that he froze.
"What are you going to do? Do you know who I am?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Of course I know who you are, but I have to tell you that I, Ma Xiaoquan, am not a good person either. Just shut up now, otherwise, I won't mind stripping off your clothes right now."
"
Bumbutai subconsciously protected his chest, with a look of horror in his eyes.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and thought to himself, Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Xiaoquan, I never thought you would hold such a famous Empress Xiaozhuang in your arms for a moment, haha, interesting, so interesting.
Ma Xiaoquan deliberately made a vicious move, and Bumu Butai was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and slowly put her down.
Bumubutai opened his eyes and saw that Ma Xiaoquan had picked up the dagger that fell on the ground.
"Hold the dagger properly, don't waste your efforts anymore, you can't kill me!"
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan threw the dagger to Bumbutai.
Bumbutai took the dagger and was very unwilling. The moment Ma Xiaoquan turned around, she raised the dagger and pierced Ma Xiaoquan's vest.
With a "ding" sound, the dagger pierced Ma Xiaoquan's back. Contrary to Bumbutai's expectation, the dagger did not pierce his body. Instead, it made a sound that could only be made by metal scraping.
Ma Xiaoquan turned around, grabbed Bumbutai's hand, pulled it forward, and then unceremoniously stretched out his hand to grab her skirt.
"Believe it or not, I will pin you down and kill you right now?" Ma Xiaoquan threatened with a fierce look in his eyes, "Don't think that because you are Huang Taiji's woman, I don't dare to do anything to you, little girl~"
Ma Xiaoquan's expression was terrifying. Bumubutai was still a child after all. This time, she was completely frightened by Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan breathed out, let go of his hand, and said: "I'm going to rest. You've delayed my rest, so get out!"
Bumbutai came back to his senses and looked at Ma Xiaoquan. At this time, Ma Xiaoquan once again turned his back to her, but this time, she didn't want to, and she didn't dare to stab him with the dagger again.
"Ma Xiaoquan, you are a warrior!" Bumbutai suddenly said this, and then walked out of the room.
Ma Xiaoquan turned around. He didn't take Bumu Butai's words to heart at all. She was still a child after all, so he didn't care about her anymore.
...
An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Although he was disturbed by Bu Mu Butai for a while, Ma Xiaoquan still stepped up and took a short rest.
The door opened, and two Jurchen maids walked into the room. One was holding a basin in her hand, and the other was holding a clean washcloth.
"Sir, the Great Khan has issued an order, instructing us to wash your face."
Ma Xiaoquan stood up and walked to the two Jurchen maids. Only then did he realize that the pair of maids were twins.
"Thank you, I'd better do it myself~" Ma Xiaoquan reached out and took the washcloth, then naturally put the cloth into the basin and started washing it.
The twin maids were stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Sir, no, if the Great Khan finds out that we did not serve you, we will be held accountable!"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said, "I'm just washing my face. If you don't want me to take care of you, fine, I've already finished washing!" After that, Ma Xiaoquan threw the washcloth into the basin, raised his head and walked out of the room.
The twin maids looked at each other, a complicated look flashing in their eyes.
...
The dinner was held in the side hall, which was specially used by Nurhachi to entertain guests. After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he continued to follow his father's habits.
The side hall is not big, nor is it luxurious compared to the palace furnishings in the capital, but the interior is very neat and unique.
Ma Xiaoquan walked into the side hall, looked around, and couldn't help but click his tongue and nod.
On the seat, Huang Taiji saw Ma Xiaoquan from a distance. He kept seeing Ma Xiaoquan approaching him, then he stood up and said with a smile: "Haha... Mr. Ma, you are here..."
Ma Xiaoquan walked up to Huang Taiji, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the Great Khan! May the Great Khan be blessed!"
Huang Taiji laughed and said: "Then please take a seat!"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and sat on the guest seat below.
After the guests sat down, Huang Taiji sat down. After Huang Taiji sat down, the leaders of the tribes who were attending the banquet sat down one after another.
"Papa~" Huang Taiji clapped his hands twice, and immediately there were more than ten maids carrying the meals for the banquet and respectfully placing them on the table in front of Ma Xiaoquan.
The meals were rich, especially the Jurchens’ unique barbecue, which made Ma Xiaoquan greedy.
Huang Taiji saw Ma Xiaoquan's thoughts and said with a smile: "Master Ma, you must have heard of my Jurchen's barbecue, so try it today~"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "If the profuse Khan refuses to eat, the lower officials will naturally not dare to make mistakes! The main reason for coming here this time is to be entrusted by Brother Yuan to express condolences to the late Khan (Nurhachi)."
Ma Xiaoquan did not call Yuan Chonghuan general or governor, but called him eldest brother. This shows that Ma Xiaoquan came to Shenyang this time because of Yuan Chonghuan's personal entrustment and did not represent the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Taiji naturally knew what Ma Xiaoquan meant. He picked up the meat-cutting dagger without haste, cut off a piece of roast mutton, and said while eating: "It doesn't matter, everyone who comes is a guest. You're welcome, Mr. Ma!"
When Ma Xiaoquan saw Huang Taiji move his mouth to eat the meat, he stopped cheating. Anyway, he had just explained that this time he came to Shenyang for personal reasons and not for the will of the country.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't take the dagger, he reached out and tore off a piece of barbecue, threw it into his mouth and chewed it...
