"Move and merge the state as the root, enter Chang'an as the quality........" Ma Chao leisurely read Liu Bao's Chen Biao, and then casually threw Chen Biao on the Shangshutai desk, and asked Liu Bao: "This is the sincerity of your Luan Ti Ministry as a minister?" ”

Liu Bao and Wang Huayu brought such conditions, which is really the most suitable for Ma Chao. Tightly nestled Liu Bao and the Luanti tribe under the eyes of the Ma family in Chang'an, with the economic control of the Ma family, the Luan Ti tribe can only become a vassal of the Ma family in the future, and only act on the orders of the Ma family!

It's a pity that there is still one of the most important regrets in such a title: it came too late.........

If the old king of the Huns died, Yu Fuluo would show such sincerity......... No, or rather, as long as Yu Fuluo showed half of his sincerity, then the Ma family at that time would definitely sincerely welcome the return of Luan Ti with the highest level of glory.

But this time and that time.

The delay in the arrival of the expectations that have been lost and no longer cared about will not make people feel much joy. On the contrary, it will be a little more sad because of it.

Ma Chao is feeling like this now.

"Liu Bao, you must know that the Ma family no longer needs your Luan Ti's submission. The Tuoba Division, in just two more months, is enough to replace and surpass your Luan Ti Division. ”

After Liu Bao heard this, his face couldn't help but become ugly. And the hope brought by the solemnity of the horse outside the city yesterday has also turned into resentment. It's just that in front of Ma Chao, he didn't dare to show this resentment at all, so he had no choice but to explain: "General Tian, you also know that all this is my father's fault. And we have used the fastest and greatest reparation to express our remorse to you. ”

"Yes, if it weren't for Yu Fuluo's head and Wang Huayu's intercession, you Luan Ti would be a sword soldier at this time!" Ma Chao turned around, sat upright again, looked at the restless Liu Bao, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up a sarcastic arc: "Wrong is wrong, time is not waiting." You have to remember that nothing in the world is just a matter of saying 'I'm sorry' and letting your thoughts run for granted! ”

"The lord ........." Wang Huayu stepped forward, and after telling Ma Chao about Liu Bao's bad relationship with herself, she glanced at Liu Bao again with complicated eyes, and pleaded for Liu Bao: "My subordinates have told you in detail about the Huns, although there is the fault of Luan Ti's department. But ........."

Speaking of this, Wang Huayu couldn't help but take a deep breath, glanced at Liu Bao with pity, and after mustering up his courage, he suddenly spoke: "But, my lord, Huayu knows that you are not the kind of ruthless and unrighteous prince. And you let me, a weak woman, provoke the entire Huns alone, without any protection from the Ma family........"

"So, my lord, you owe me a favor!"

Listening to this, Ma Chao looked at Wang Huayu again as he was bearing the responsibility of 'committing' the crime, and expressed his gambling expression directly. For some reason, he suddenly laughed, and even, at this time, he got up and walked in front of Wang Huayu, lightly supported Wang Huayu's chin with his right hand, and said slowly and strangely: "So, you want to get this favor back from me now, so that you can cut off all your evil fate in the Huns?!" ”

"Not bad!" Wang Huayu looked at Ma Chao's deep and bright eyes that were as deep and bright as the stars in the night sky, and all the grievances, fears, panics and complaints about Ma Chao in her heart burst out at once: "My lord, you don't know, in order to complete the task you assigned, what kind of changes and painful psychological torture I have experienced!" And what is even more hateful is that after such a long time, I have found that I have developed feelings for the endless grassland, and for those people on the grassland........."

Speaking of this, Wang Huayu's eyes still couldn't help but sweep to Liu Bao, and from Liu Bao's shocked and reluctant eyes, Wang Huayu already felt his pain. But she still continued to say resolutely to Ma Chao: "Therefore, my subordinates are willing to gamble on this life and exchange Ma Chao's benevolence for the survival of Luan Ti's department." It's also the last thing I've done as Luan Tibu's clan! ”

"Yes, I do owe you a favor........ Seeing Wang Huayu suddenly kneeling at his feet and resolutely saying such a request, Ma Chao's heart softened helplessly. He held up Wang Huayu leisurely, and unconsciously said something strange to Wang Huayu: "However, I don't owe you a favor, but two .........."

"You guys, go down first." Ma Chao, who looked flat and saw the depth of anger, finally waved his hand, looked at the two people who made him a little suffocated, and said, "Later, I will give you an answer." And it seems that there will also be a time for a peaceful parting between you........."

"Don't worry, before this, there won't be any massacres in the Luan Ti Division." Seeing the two of them retreat and leave with complicated expressions, Ma Chao finally said this promise in a complicated way.

After that, Shang Shutai fell into a terrible silence.

Ma Chao sat on the right seat, staring at the huge sand table simulation that had already encompassed the entire big man, and the expression on his face was obscure. At this time, he thought of the scene when he saw Wang Huayu for the first time that day, and also thought that he would definitely give Wang Huayu a decision worthy of his conscience........

It's just that this decision is really a bit redundant for the Ma family: the Ma family does not need another Xiongnu tribe on the grassland that submits to the Ma family, and there is a Tuoba Department for the Ma family to conquer on the Xiongnu grassland, which is enough for the Ma family to concentrate on chasing the Central Plains.

And if there is one more Luan Ti department, it is obvious that the Ma family has to put a lot of effort into this. Moreover, the gains may outweigh the losses and the efforts may be in vain........

"Come out," Ma Chao didn't move, but muttered, "Teacher, you haven't educated me for a long time........"

Jia Xu, who is like a ghost and a spirit fox, is still so simple in clothes, and still so unfazed. He sat leisurely in the seat where Liu Bao was sitting just now, and said, "Chao'er, you deliberately arranged for me to hear the conversation between you and them, do you want me to tell you what to do now?" ”

After hearing this, Ma Chao turned his head to look at the old fox, and nodded with a resentful expression: Aren't you talking nonsense? Could it be that you are arranged in the back so that you can see how Wang Huayu and I teach Liu Bao's unlucky child a lesson?

"However, now you already have the heart of an excellent prince. I can't help you with anything like this........." Jia Xu opened his mouth lightly, casually playing with the knife-shaped bronze in his hand, as if intentionally or unintentionally letting Ma Chao see it.

Ma Chao always saw Jia Xu fiddling with that thing, and he knew that it was an ancient coin, and there were six difficult words engraved on the body of the knife several inches long, which was said to be Gu Qiwen: "Qi makes the state long legal".

This is one of Jia Xu's most cherished collections, the old fox has a hobby of collecting ancient money, after the Ma family pampered him, he put his mind on this, especially this ancient coin, Ma Chao felt that the old fox seemed to have to play in his hand every day.

Today, however, the situation is different. After his mind was finally unintentionally attracted by that ancient coin, Ma Chao suddenly understood the hint of the old fox: Qi made the state chief legal!

'Qi Zao Bang Chang Fahua', commonly known as 'Six-character Knife', is the founding commemorative coin of Tian's list of princes: in the sixteenth year of King Zhou An (386 B.C.), Tian and Chengliang Hui asked Wei Hou to invite Yu Zhou, and King Zhou established Tian He as the Marquis of Qi, and formally established the Qi State, which is to cast the 'Bang Knife' Ji Sheng!

In other words, the old fox intentionally or unintentionally let Ma Chao see this ancient coin every day, which really implied that Ma Chao could no longer limit himself to the heart of a prince, but should evolve more into the heart of the emperor!

Obviously, to evolve into the 'Emperor's Heart', it is natural to learn some imperial techniques that balance yin and yang, and strategize power and responsibility! The old fox is right, from the perspective of the princes alone, Ma Chao really can't solve the contradiction between the Luan Ti Department, the Tuoba Department and the Ma family. But the emperor's heart is precisely a breakthrough point for sublimation to solve this problem!

"Teacher, the art of the princes, I have indeed learned almost everything." Ma Chao walked to Jia Xu's side, stretched out his hand to pass the ancient coin, delicately felt the warm breath on the ancient coin, and slowly said: "Then from now on, you will teach me the art of the emperor........
