In more than two years, Ma Yan'er has become a completely different person.
The arrogance and fiery temper that he had in the past were gone. Now he looked as calm as water, restrained and reserved, and even had a touch of otherworldly indifference.
Over the past two years, Ma Yaner single-handedly founded the Taohua Pavilion intelligence organization, and all the people in it are women.
From the very beginning, Ma Yaner saw two drawbacks of Zhang Bao's uprising, one was strength and the other was intelligence.
For Zhang Bao, Ma Yan'er believed that as long as he was given time, he would definitely have great strength. In the past two years, Zhang Bao had become the state pastor of Hezhou, which also confirmed Ma Yan'er's ability at that time.
idea.
Therefore, Ma Yaner came to Xiazhou from the very beginning. She knew that no matter what Zhang Bao did in the future, he would sooner or later confront these behemoths.
Then she must prepare in advance.
In the past two years, it has experienced many setbacks and has gone through ups and downs. With the development of Ma Yaner, Taohua Pavilion has gradually become known and watched by many people from being unknown at the beginning.
In a recent operation, because Peach Blossom Pavilion probed too deeply, she almost got caught, and even Ma Yaner was exposed.
If the prince hadn't provided a temporary residence, Ma Yan'er might not have been able to escape this time.
"No, no, no, speaking of it, this is not the first time I have come into contact with you."
"If you hadn't sent me the news in time back then, I might have taken the bait and been instigated by those people to attack Cao Kang."
"Looking back now, it's a good thing I didn't take action at that time, otherwise, I wouldn't have the chance to drink tea in peace now."
The prince said with a smile.
Some time ago.
I don't know why, but a lot of Zhu Yue's troops came to Xiazhou.
A few others found their side and wanted to use their own power to cover their attack on Grand Sima Cao Kang.
To be honest, the prince hesitated at the time.
The idea of taking action against Cao Kang is not unknown, but after all, Cao Kang has a deep foundation, and it is absolutely impossible to take action without full confidence.
But these Zhu Yue people actually adopted such extreme methods, which could be used by the prince.
But the prince received news from Taohua Pavilion, saying that someone was behind this and that he should not act rashly. It was after hearing this news that the prince restrained himself.
This avoided the impact of Da Sima's subsequent liquidation.
Ma Yaner smiled, and the reason for stopping it at that time was just to prevent the prince behind the scenes from getting involved, thus deviating from Zhang Bao's framing of Zhu Yue.
But he didn't expect that an unexpected combination of circumstances would save him once.
"You can live here with peace of mind, and tell me if you have any news!"
"You don't know it by looking at it. It's really interesting to figure out what's going on in this world."
The prince smiled and said to Ma Yan'er.
"Then it will disturb the prince."
Ma Yaner saluted and said.
After returning from the prince's place.
The news gathered from various places also arrived, and Ma Yaner watched it carefully.
Sometimes, a single message cannot reveal the clues behind it, but if many messages are gathered together, you will find that many incomprehensible actions actually have causes and purposes.
"Um?"
"Zhang Bao went to Dongzhou with two thousand troops? Is this news true?"
Ma Yaner looked at the top message and was very surprised.
"Sister Ma, although this is our guess, it should be the case. We have determined that Zhang Bao is definitely not in Hezhou. Judging from the news on the Dongzhou border, entering Dongzhou from Hezhou Some of them are very suspicious, the number is around 2,000."
"And I heard that Dongzhou has been targeting Hezhou recently, so we made this inference."
A woman below said to Ma Yaner.
"Based on that guy's character, it's quite possible. Even though he's a state pastor now, it's not unusual for him to lead such a small number of people to fight against Dongzhou."
Ma Yaner curled her lips.
"However, I'm afraid it might be dangerous to go in like that."
"From what we have learned, although this Yang Gan seems to be very greedy for money and has no ambition, he is a very sophisticated man and is very good at disguise."
"Just talking about Zhou Yan, the governor of Dongzhou, is very controlled by him. It is enough to show that the governor's role is not at all, but he has been Yang Gan's master for so many years, and he still follows Yang Gan. This is not only You can do it just by having money.”
"Yang Gan deliberately created this image of himself, clearly to give himself a backup plan. He has been the state pastor of Dongzhou for so many years. I am afraid there are many secret hands that Zhang Bao is not aware of. Once he is careless, it will be very dangerous. Might have been tricked."
"And this guy dares to go to Dongzhou with only two thousand troops. What on earth is he going to do?"
"Even if all of these people are very powerful people, they will definitely not be the opponents of Dongzhou's hundreds of thousands of troops."
After Ma Yan'er heard the news, she muttered to herself, feeling very worried.
The women next to him all winked.
In Ma Yaner's understanding, although Zhang Bao is very smart and has many tricks, he is always full of dangers.
This time, from Ma Yan'er's perspective, it was even more of a life-or-death situation, and she couldn't help but worry.
"Immediately let people spread the news, saying that the grassland is mobilizing an army to attack Daxia."
"In this way, if states want to mobilize troops, they may have to make careful decisions. If the internal strife between them really allows the grassland barbarians to take advantage of the loopholes, then the gains will outweigh the losses."
"I believe no one would dare to bear this huge crime."
Ma Yaner frowned and thought for a while, then said to the women below.
"Yes, Sister Ma!"
"We'll go right away."
"However, since my brother-in-law's current situation is so dangerous, should we send someone to remind him?"
Several women asked Ma Yaner.
Maybe they didn't know Zhang Bao's situation at the beginning, but as time went by, they were able to figure it out.
They discovered that from the very beginning to now, all information in Taohua Pavilion seemed to revolve around Zhang Bao.
The name of this brother-in-law became increasingly clear.
"I'm afraid it's too late to remind them, and they haven't been exposed yet. If we rashly remind them, it's likely to have counterproductive effects."
"That's it... hmm? What brother-in-law?"
"You little girls, why don't you go quickly!"
Ma Yaner's face turned red and she said to several women.
Several women pursed their lips and smiled, and walked out one after another, leaving Ma Yan'er alone in the room feeling lost...
