Of course, Zhang Yi did not come to Xiliang alone, Bai Yutang was ordered to protect Zhang Yi's safety, and at the same time to investigate the military situation of Xiliang, Zhang Yi negotiated everything, returned to the post house, Bai Yutang was waiting in the post house.

"Mr. Zhang, everything has been negotiated?"

Bai Yutang hurriedly asked.

"After negotiating, Bai Zuo will quickly send someone to inform the soldiers of Ba County, and quickly take back Ba County, otherwise I am worried that there will be changes later."

Bai Yutang nodded, "I actually always have a question I want to ask sir, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into King Zhou, why is King Zhou willing to exchange a county for a county?" You don't want to avenge your uncle, do you? ”

Bai Yutang still couldn't figure out why Wu Liren would agree to such a seemingly ridiculous decision, so he thought of Zhang Yi's uncle, Zhang Xun, a general under Yuan Shu.

"What did the white envoy say, how could he be arbitrary when he came here by the king's order? Besides, with the wisdom of King Zhou, how can a mere Zhang Li be able to influence it? In the eyes of the world, the king of Zhou used a state to exchange for a county, but in the eyes of Li, he used a promise to exchange an ally for the king of Zhou, which is not something that can be measured by a state and a county. ”

Zhang Yi explained simply, Bai Yutang didn't know why, but Wu Liren asked him to listen to Zhang Yi's instructions, so he had no choice but to do so, and immediately asked people to take their tokens and go to Ba County to deliver the news.

After Ma Chao returned to Wudu, he immediately went to meet Ma Chao with Yingbu, Pang De and others, and he didn't know why Ma Teng would let him withdraw his troops because of a lobbyist's words - that was the territory that had been fought down after a lot of hard work.

At this time, Ma Teng was playing with Xia Yingchun, because of Zhang Yi's incident, Ma Teng was very happy, so he rewarded Xia Yingchun heavily, and his love for Xia Yingchun was even better than before.

"Your Majesty, the Great Prince...... The eldest prince has broken in! ”

At this time, someone ran in in a panic and reported Ma Teng.

As soon as the words fell, I saw that Ma Chao and the others had already arrived in front of him, and at this time, Xia Yingchun was holding a glass of wine for Ma Teng to drink.

"Meng Qi, what are you going to do?"

After a few people bowed their hands, Ma Chao continued: "Father, the child doesn't understand, why did he suddenly withdraw his troops? The army marched south, after a lot of hardships, and suddenly withdrew, which really made the hearts of the soldiers cold! ”

Ma Teng didn't speak yet, but he saw that Xia Yingchun had already taken over, "No matter how good Ba County is, I haven't seen any results after a year of fighting, it's better to cooperate with King Zhou, and take that and the state is better, with the king's army and the soldiers and horses of the king of Zhou, it is expected that the state will definitely be at your fingertips, your majesty, are you right when you say that the concubine is right?" ”

Xia Yingchun's words made Ma Teng's whole body soft and indescribable, and he laughed and said, "Madame is so right!" ”

Seeing that Ma Teng was so obedient to Xia Yingchun, thinking that Ma Dai had sent him a message before about the Xia family's bewitching words, he suddenly couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, pulled out the sword on his waist, and said to Xia Yingchun: "I've always heard that you, a fox spirit, seduced my father, and when I saw it today, it was so!" If I don't kill you, won't I let you destroy my Xiliang foundation! ”

Ma Chao's action suddenly frightened Xia Yingchunhua's complexion, and hurriedly hid behind Ma Teng, Ma Teng didn't expect Ma Chao to be so rude, and yelled: "Meng Qi, you are presumptuous!" Don't hurry up and get out of here! ”

Ma Chao was unwilling, Pang De behind him hurriedly grabbed him, and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be impulsive!" ”

"It's getting more and more rude! No matter what the Xia clan says, you can be considered your elder, how can you be so presumptuous? This king is not mediocre, and the matter of peace talks has already been discussed with all the civil and military forces, how can he listen to the words of the Xia family? ”

Ma Teng was furious, and Ma Chao's behavior disappointed him.

"Eldest prince, hurry up and make amends to the king!"

Pang De was afraid that his father and son would give birth to a mustard, so he hurriedly persuaded Ma Chao.

But Ma Chao's character, how could he be so easily convinced, he only saw Ma Teng defending the Xia family so much, so he was even more angry, didn't say a word, and turned away.

Angry, Ma Teng pointed at Ma Chaoda and scolded: "You rebel! ”

Pang De hurriedly persuaded: "The king is angry, and the eldest prince is also dedicated to the king's great cause, and has no other meaning. The eldest prince is such a character, let the last general persuade him first! ”

Ma Teng snorted and said: "Meng Qi's ability has not grown in the past two years, but his temper has grown a lot, you tell this king that if you dare to be so rude in the future, this king will never spare him!" ”

Pang De responded again and again, naturally he would not really convey Ma Teng's words to Ma Chao, such words would only exacerbate the misunderstanding between their father and son.

After Ma Chao went back, he was still sulking in his heart, and kept throwing things to vent the anger in his heart. Pang De rushed over and hurriedly persuaded him: "Eldest prince, why are you so troubled?" The king is right, this matter is not a decision made by the king alone, since everyone is present, the prince might as well go to Yao Gong to ask about the situation first. ”

"My father has a stubborn temper, and even if they persuade him, he will not necessarily listen. Although my father is still willing to listen to Yao's words, I heard that my father hasn't seen Yao Gong for a long time since my father re-enacted the enchantress. ”

Pang De smiled bitterly, nodded and said: "Even if it is really a red face, the eldest prince can't use this way, this will only make the king misunderstand the eldest prince, or think of other ways, not to hurt the father and son of the king and the son, but also to properly handle the Xia family." ”

"The eldest son! What General Ling Ming said is extremely reasonable! ”

At this moment, a voice came in, Ma Chao and Pang De turned around and saw Yao Chong hurrying over. Yao Chong had already heard Yingbu say that Ma Teng's father and son were unhappy, Yao Chong knew that this was not a good phenomenon, so he immediately came to see Ma Chao.

When Ma Chao saw Yao Chong, he hurriedly greeted him, and asked with some frustration: "Yao Gong, I don't know what kind of trick there is to get rid of the Xia family?" ”

Yao Chong smiled and said: "Don't hold such a grudge against the Xia family, although this matter is the Xia family's thread, but she is not completely blamed." Xia's beauty, the king's love, people's common feelings. Besides, Mrs. Xia did not slander the people, nor did she harm the loyalty, but it was not a disaster for the country and the people. If you want the king to be able to get rid of her gentle country, there is a way. ”

Hearing that Yao Chong had a way, Ma Chao was very happy, and hurriedly asked: "As long as you can let your father stop indulging in it, the Xia family can not get rid of it, I'm just worried about my father." Please speak up to Yao Gong! ”
