There was a dead silence in the carriage, and all three of them were startled by Tang Ji's answer. In the end, Liu Xiu, who had gone through the vicissitudes of life, was calmer, patted Tang Ji's hand and said: "You think well, in the troubled times, it may not be a hard thing to survive and guard the mausoleum with peace of mind." If....... Well, maybe, I'll accompany you to guard the mausoleum too. ”

"Auntie, Tang Ji!" Liu Yue was a little angry, his face changed impermanently, and he said, "Are you just resigned to your fate like this?" Auntie, after returning to Chang'an, Your Majesty may not be willing to marry you to Lu Bu; And Tang Ji, since Ma Chao is willing to let Shou'er return to Chang'an, it shows that he is also a contradiction in his heart, and he also has Shou'er. And such a gentle and affectionate man, can't you take the initiative to strive for your happiness once?! ”

"Don't talk about this....... Liu Xiu saw that Liu Yue was already a little paranoid, interrupted Liu Yue's words, and said instead: "To be honest, I'm really curious, Yue'er, what did Your Majesty let you get back from the Ma family this time?" ”

"How do you know that His Majesty wants it?" Liu Yue was taken aback, and then felt that he was too stupid, so he couldn't help but calm down, sorted out his emotions, and said, "Alas...... Maybe I'm too tired these days. Moreover, after all, this time I was in too much of a hurry, and I am afraid that there are still some flaws, and I am worried that he will see through it, so I am a little uneasy. ”

Liu Yue's words are actually a little trivial and messy. It can be seen that she must have some fetters in her heart, otherwise, she would not have such a chaotic reaction.

The carriage fell silent again, this time it was not Liu Xiu who broke the silence, but Liu Yue, who was in turmoil and unclear in her heart, she turned her head to look at Liu Xiu, and only used words to relieve the turmoil in her heart, and said quietly: "Auntie, you have been in Fufeng for a long time, and Ma Chao does not prohibit you from exploring Fufeng's matters at all." Don't you feel that the Ma family's army is strange? ”

"Strange? What's so strange? ”

"The number of people they have compiled and their brilliant record!" Liu Yue's face showed an incomprehensible and unfathomable look, she smiled, and said in a low voice: "Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, according to the land of Yizhou, has 300,000 Qingzhou soldiers under his command; Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao, located in two states, commanded 400,000 soldiers and horses; Yuzhou Mu Yuan Shu also had at least 300,000 subordinates, and the other princes, even Zhang Lu, who only had one place in Hanzhong, had more than 100,000 subordinates. Only Yongzhou Ma Chao, the entire Ma family army, there are only more than 50,000 people! And ......."

"Moreover, the Ma Jiajun has also repeatedly leveled the outside and conquered the Qiang people; Rejecting Han Sui in the west, suppressing Zhang Lu in the south, and even easily knocking on Chang'an! "Although Liu Xiu doesn't understand military affairs, Liu Yue's meaning is already obvious. Therefore, she opened her mouth and said what Liu Yue meant.

"Not bad! Before, I thought it was Ma Chao's use of soldiers like a god, but then I saw the wealth of Yongzhou, and the young people in the county wanted to join the army but Ma Jiajun turned a blind eye. I just realized why His Majesty had to go to such lengths to get me that thing....... Because, the Ma family only needs 50,000 people, which is enough to be worth 300,000 troops of others. The Ma family army under his command is all built up with money and super-high-quality armor and weapons! ”

"You, you're saying that what you took away is the secret of Ma Jiasu's iron blade?" It was not Liu Xiu who said this, but Fu Shou, who was listening quietly on the side. Her little face was full of incredulity and surprise, as if Liu Yue had done something earth-shattering-in fact, this was indeed a shocking event for the Ma family!

"Shou'er, I underestimate you too much. I thought that you would stay away from the court and have no quarrel with the world, and you would not think of these ......." Liu Yue said to Fu Shou with a little smugness, and at the same time, he also said to Fu Shou with a little appreciation: "I now feel that Your Majesty did not marry you into the palace, but it is a loss." ”

"How is that possible?" Fu Shou didn't care about Liu Yue's words at all, she said quickly: "How tightly guarded is the Ma Arsenal? Even Xiu'er, Tie'er, and Yunlu couldn't enter at will. What's more, you haven't been to the Mars Arsenal at all these days........"

"Do you think you have to do these things yourself? If so, am I just a clever bandit? Liu Yue said this, sneered, and then, with a trace of pride and reserve on his face, he continued: "After the matter of the Salt Exchange was perfectly resolved, I initially gained Ma Chao's trust. At that time, I made a gesture to earn fame for the Ma family, and took the initiative to make friends with those vulgar and lowly businessmen, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and contact the three royal shops that I controlled remotely. ”

"Your Majesty has long coveted the Ma family's Su Tie Blade, and it is really not difficult to find a dozen craftsmen with exquisite craftsmanship. However, it was indeed very difficult to infiltrate the Mars Arsenal, sixteen people came, but in the end, only four people mixed in......."

"Fortunately, they are all masters who have been immersed in this way for many years, and it only takes three days for them to master the secret of the Ma Su Iron Blade. So, under my arrangement, the four of them escaped from the Mars Arsenal and successfully returned to the caravan in the middle of the night. Speaking of this, Liu Yue paused, glanced at Fu Shou meaningfully, and continued with a strange tone: "During this period, I also want to thank you, if it weren't for the dewy relationship between you and Ma Chao, I'm afraid Ma Chao wouldn't let us go back to Chang'an Province so easily." However, don't worry, although I didn't do it perfectly, it was not so easy for Ma Chao to find out. ”

"After this incident, we will return to Fufeng, and presumably Ma Chao will also marry you. Even, if you have a secret knot this time, then the plan for the revival of the Han family will go one step further........ Auntie, do you think that my seamless plan will not be successful and happy? ”

In the last sentence, Liu Yue did not say to Fu Shou, whose face was becoming more and more frightened and incredulous. Instead, he showed his pride to Liu Xiu, but after Liu Xiu listened, there was no expression of appreciation on his face, but he sighed leisurely: "Yue'er, you are too conceited." Moreover, you also think too much of men are too simple. As I said, politics, women better not meddle ......."

Liu Yue still wanted to argue, but at this moment, suddenly there was an exclamation from the forbidden army outside!

"There are enemy troops! Hurry up!! ”

Liu Yue's face changed, he lifted the window and looked back, and sure enough, he heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him and the smoke and dust rolling on the pipe, and couldn't help frowning and said, "What's the matter?" We were so divided and confused along the way, how could we be chased so quickly?! ”

"Lord, the person who came was holding the main flag with the word 'horse', and it was Ma Chao who personally led the troops. And those brothers who divided the troops, I'm afraid they have already encountered accidents! The junior colonel of the forbidden army hurriedly reported, he could see from experience that Ma Chao had at least brought more than 4,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, and there were only more than 2,000 forbidden troops left, which was not the opponent of Ma Jiajun at all.

"What nonsense?!" Liu Yue was angry, then calmed down, did not panic at all, and said: "I am Ma Chao's wife, why talk about the unexpected?" ”

"Yes! The subordinates made a mistake, and they hoped that the lord would forgive their sins. However, what should we do at this time? Seeing that the princess was so calm, Xiao Xiaoxiao's heart also settled down, and he asked in a smooth tone.

Liu Yue groaned for a moment, his eyes flickered, then he took a deep breath and decisively gave an order: "Stop advancing!" Wait in line! Don't act rashly without my command! ”
