Although a man and a woman were joint informants placed around Ma Xiaoquan, they were not stupid. However, they were unable to defend themselves against the more clever and cunning Zhang Youcai.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded while listening, and the servants around him also listened with interest. Ma Xiaoquan admired Zhang Youcai's eloquence, and those servants believed what he said.
After listening to Zhang Youcai's "made up" words, the man and woman were already speechless. Ma Xiaoquan also turned from his previous anger to helplessness. He looked at the man and woman and scolded: "You caused trouble for me when you first came.
You go find someone, and you actually caused so much trouble for me. My Yue'er can't be found now, what should you do? If something happens to her today, I can't spare you~"
A man and a woman quickly knelt down and begged Ma Xiaoquan for mercy. At this moment, in the distance, a thin figure gradually became clearer. When they got closer, they saw it was Yue'er.
Ma Xiaoquan happily stepped forward and hugged Yue'er, picked her up and said, "That's great, I thought you lost it~"
Yue'er didn't know that this was a scene staged by Ma Xiaoquan and Zhang Youcai. While she was secretly amused, she also pretended to cooperate: "After you left, I thought you didn't want me anymore, so I came out secretly, but here
I’m not familiar with this place, wuwuwu…”
Ma Xiaoquan "comforted" Yue'er, touched her little head and said: "Don't worry, you will be safe with me~"
Yue'er lowered her head and thought to herself: It's weird if these people can hurt me~ But Wanshanhe, Wanshanhe, I can't see that you are such a thief, and that Zhang Youcai, tsk tsk, Zhang Guangtai is upright, he
But his son acted like a scoundrel. Hey, if Zhang Guangtai found out about this, wouldn't he vomit blood and be angry to death?
...
After Ma Xiaoquan symbolically punished the two servants, he comforted Zhang Youcai and promised that he would give an explanation to the army. The conversation between the two made people feel that Zhang Youcai was the commander of the army instead of Wan Shanhe (Ma Xiaoquan).
In the evening, Ma Xiaoquan planned to go to Zhao Yuntai and explain to him the treatment of his army. But before he went out, he was told that the king was really not feeling well today and needed to rest for a few more days. If Prince Shanhe needed anything, he could contact him.
Mr. Zhao Wenyi.
Ma Xiaoquan had dealt with Zhao Wenyi in Heishui City before and had a drink once. He knew that the guy was obsessed with Li Qinghan and would go to Zhao Wenyi whenever he heard something happened. Ma Xiaoquan immediately found it interesting.
As for Zhao Wenyi, he already knew it when Ma Xiaoquan arrived at Floating City. He should have been responsible for the reception, but when he thought of his experience in Heishui City, he felt that Wan Shanhe was not a simple person, so he entrusted Ma Biao with it.
Help him, firstly, to complete the reception task, and secondly, Ma Biao needs to test Wanshanhe.
Sitting next to Zhao Wenyi was Ma Biao. The latter shook his head, took a sip from his tea cup and said, "Master Wenyi, Wan Shanhe came to marry Princess Ting this time and brought two thousand people with him.
How are we going to accommodate these two thousand people?"
Zhao Wenyi sneered and said: "This must be the intention of Lord Heiqing. Bringing two thousand people will not only not arouse the vigilance of our unified united forces, but also protect his mountains and rivers from unexpected events. More importantly...
...You can also wait for an opportunity to plot Hongzhou..."
Ma Biao nodded, put down the tea cup and said: "Hongzhou is dangerous and has many ethnic groups, especially the Baiyi tribe, which is very difficult to deal with. If we want to conquer Hongzhou, it will be even more difficult. After all, the people of Hongzhou are all
From the beginning until now, I only admit that I am from the Heiqing country."
Zhao Wenyi held his chin and said with a smile: "Aren't we also from the Heiqing Kingdom? It's just that my father made an agreement with the Lord of the Heiqing Kingdom to separate the United and the Independent, and use the United to resist Hongzhou."
Ma Biao said: "Having said that, the unity still belongs to the Heiqing Kingdom. Mr. Wenyi, your health is getting worse and worse. It must be that the end of the road has come. Maybe Mr. Wenyi is too young and doesn't know what your views on the throne are."
Regarding the inheritance of the throne, if there is a chance now, we can choose the opportunity to act. As far as I know, it seems that your Majesty is going to pass the throne to Princess Ting..."
Zhao Wenyi just picked up the tea cup. When he heard Ma Biao said that his father would pass the throne to his sister, Princess Ting, he put down the tea cup with a clang and said bitterly: "When did she, Zhao Tingting, deserve to be the king of a country? This country has never had one."
There has been a queen, and there will never be another one~"
Ma Biao clapped his hands and said: "So I just thought that the best candidate to win the throne right now is Mr. Wenyi~"
Zhao Wenyi frowned and said: "Don't you think Zhao Wenqiang is worthy of being the king? There are other sons of the father?"
"Haha~~" Ma Biao raised his eyebrows, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said, "Then what do you think, Mr. Wenyi?"
Zhao Wenyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Ma Biao, what is your position... exactly? If you support me to rise to power, what do you want to gain?"
Ma Biao put down the teacup and chuckled: "There's no rush, Xianguan naturally has what Xianguan wants. Of course, Xianguan is not interested in the throne~"
Zhao Wenyi was not stupid either. Ma Biao usually didn't talk like this when talking to him, but today Ma Biao was neither humble nor arrogant towards him. This had to make Zhao Wenyi feel that Ma Biao had a big backer.
"Is it the Kingdom of Wanshi...or the Kingdom of Rong?" Zhao Wenyi asked Ma Biao.
Ma Biao stood up and did not directly answer Zhao Wenyi's words, but asked: "Master Wenyi can consider that whether it is the Wanshi Kingdom or the Rong Kingdom, it is a good thing for the unification. Although the Heiqing Kingdom seems to be peaceful at the moment,
But in fact, the situation is turbulent, and several prominent nobles in Blackwater City are secretly cultivating private armies... And the Black and Green King Yang Jie is arbitrary. In a few years, Heishui City will surely start a bloody storm.
, then, maybe it will be a good opportunity for Mr. Wenyi ~ Of course, it would be a beautiful thing if Mr. Wenyi could become a real king... Of course, it doesn't matter who supports him, what matters is
It’s about sitting in this position first and then thinking about other things.”
When Ma Biao said this, Zhao Wenyi was really excited, but when he thought of Hongzhou, Zhao Wenyi frowned again. He asked Ma Biao: "What about Hongzhou? It may be difficult to unite such a small area into a country.
If we can capture Hongzhou and merge it into the United Nations, it would be the best thing."
Ma Biao chuckled and said: "Young Master Wenyi may not know that there are actually many opportunities for us to unite and unify Hongzhou, or at least half of Hongzhou, but your Majesty has not done it for a long time. Wenyi
Don’t you know why, Master?”
Zhao Wenyi nodded and said: "Of course I know that my father once said that killing one person is a murderer, killing ten people is a killer, killing a hundred people is cruel, killing a thousand people is a general, killing ten thousand people is a king, and killing a hundred thousand people,
He is a god...I don't know much about my father's past, but judging from the classics left behind, more than a hundred years ago, my father killed hundreds of thousands of people...presumably he
There is a reason for delaying the attack on Hongzhou..."
Ma Biao said: "Young Master Wenyi knows a lot about your Majesty's affairs, but this is only one of the reasons. There is another reason, which is that your Majesty wants to use Hongzhou to contain the Black and Qing Kingdom. But what is the reason?
I’m afraid only Princess Ting knows about it~”
"Hmph, my father is too partial. Why can Zhao Tingting, a female figure, take the position of queen?"
"So..." Ma Biao said, "If Mr. Wenyi wants to gain status, he must start taking action~"
"What method of action?"
Ma Biao rolled his eyes and said: "Then Prince Consort, isn't Wanshanhe the best chess piece? The two thousand people he brought have not been resettled yet. Master Wenyi is familiar with him. Why don't you come?"
It was a smooth favor and his two thousand people were properly accommodated."
"This..." Zhao Wenyi dragged his chin, "Two thousand people is not a small number. They all have to open their mouths to eat. Although the United Nations is rich, it is still far behind the Black and Green Country...
..Those soldiers who came from Heishui City, the capital of Heiqing Kingdom, are probably not satisfied with their desires?"
"No, no, no~~ Mr. Wenyi is overly worried. The official said that they should be settled properly, but it is not to give them fine clothes and food...it is just to give them a place to settle down. Mr. Wenyi wants a lot now
Looking for helpers, Wan Shanhe came from Heishui City to Floating City and had no backer. If Mr. Wenyi could get in touch with him and let him help Mr. Wenyi to do things, or even go to Hongzhou, then Mr. Wenyi would just sit back and take care of himself.
Isn’t it wonderful to be a fisherman?”
"Hmm~~" Zhao Wenyi thought for a while and said, "You are right. Now I give Wan Shanhe a little favor and ask him to do something. He can't refuse. I can also use him to suppress the pressure.
My brothers and sisters...it just so happens that there is a space next to the cold Vulcan Cult, so I can give it to them~"
Ma Biao hummed, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Master Wenyi, there is actually a saying that lower officials should not say, but if you don't say it, I'm afraid that Master Wenyi will suffer a loss in the future~"
Zhao Wenyi said: "Is it because of the cold?"
"Yes, although the Vulcan Empress is powerful and Mr. Wenyi is passionate about her, she is helpless and cold to him. There are so many women in the world. Why should Mr. Wenyi be so persistent for one woman~"
Zhao Wenyi sighed and said: "You are right, I will carefully consider my relationship with Qinghan~"
Ma Biao was overjoyed, and he quickly raised his hands and said respectfully: "Then I will go to do some business. Well, I will also wait for Master Wenyi's summons. Master Wenyi, please think twice about the Vulcan Empress." After that,
