Chapter 286 Equivalent Exchange

In the dark night, I couldn't see my fingers, only the candles in the room flickered, giving off a faint light.

Zhao Xu looked at Ma Han steadily, "How do you want me to help you?"

"Your Highness, please lend me my troops and horses to go to Qinzhou. As long as the Ma family knows that I am still alive, Ma Chong will not be qualified to succeed as the head of the family." Ma Han said solemnly.

This time their father and son were attacked, and the biggest beneficiaries were Ma Chong and Ma Jin.

While recovering from his injuries, he asked to inquire about information.

He couldn't help but associate it with the two of them.

If he could regain his position as head of the family, he would definitely interrogate the two of them and get to the bottom of the matter.

"Childish!" Zhao Xu snorted coldly.

Ma Han was startled for a moment, his expression lost, "Your Highness, you don't want to lend me soldiers and horses? In that case, I, Ma Han, will leave. Even if blood is spilled three feet, I will avenge my father."

"Now is the time when Xiliang is invading the country. If I lend my troops and horses to fight with you, Xiliang has not been pacified yet, but I want to have a bloody battle with your Ma family. Wouldn't it be painful for relatives and happy for enemies? "Zhao Xu's voice not only did not soften, but became more severe.

Ma Han was stunned for a moment. He was momentarily swayed by the belief in revenge, and he did not expect the current chaos at all.

Even if he appears now, Ma Chong and Ma Jin will definitely not be willing to hand over the power of the Ma family honestly.

At this time, if he takes the troops of King Yan to go again, the two families will inevitably fight.

This made Xiliang laugh.

Turning around, he bowed to Zhao Xu and said, "I am being reckless. I just hope that your Highness will give you some advice on what to do now."

Zhao Xu thought for a moment and said, "When Jinzhou is recaptured, I will uphold justice for you."

In his opinion, Ma Han cannot show up yet.

Otherwise, Ma Chong and Ma Jin will definitely find ways to kill Ma Han after getting the news.

He didn't even hesitate to fight him.

After all, once Ma Han returns to Qinzhou, he will be a serious threat to them.

Furthermore, after Ma Chong and Ma Jin took charge of the Ma family, they would definitely place their own people in place and eliminate dissidents.

It would not help if Ma Han went back.

It is better to wait until Jinzhou is recaptured before announcing that Ma Han is still alive.

In this way, we can divide the Ma family and look for opportunities to let Ma Han go back and break the situation in the northwest of Dasong.

"His Highness is still thoughtful and has been reckless. But will Ma Chong and Ma Jin really help His Highness attack Jinzhou? The Yuan family is even less trustworthy." Ma Han still expressed doubts about this.

"Of course I don't count on them, but the superficial hypocrisy must be maintained. Whether they are standing still during the war, just watching me fight, or doing some small tricks behind your back, it is better than exposing you now and them being hysterical. , isn’t it?” Zhao Xu said.

"Your Highness is absolutely right. From now on, Ma Han will strictly follow His Highness's instructions." Ma Han bowed again.

Zhao Xu nodded and continued: "You should stay in Ping County now and don't go to Yan County. Ma Jin has kept a lot of informants in Yancheng."

"Your Highness knows?" Ma Han said in surprise.

"You underestimate me too much. In my territory, can you still hide this from me?" Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Yanwei has been growing and becoming more and more professional.

They are well aware of all the happenings in Yanzhou.

He even knew who Liu Fu and Chang Wei came to their homes yesterday.

This is the caution required as a king.

Even if you believe them, some of them need to be known.

Except Yanzhou.

Yanwei's tentacles also reached the capital.

Now it is just collecting intelligence based on business activities. After a while, a hot pot restaurant belonging to Yanwei will open in the capital.

After something happened to the Ma family, Yanwei also sent a group of people there to secretly investigate the assassination of the Ma family father and son.

At the same time, he could be informed of the Ma family's movements at any time.

To give Ma Han reassurance, Zhao Xu ordered Xu Lie to lead Ma Han to the Pingcheng camp at night.

Now it has become a barracks for the royal family's troops.

Five thousand soldiers are stationed here.

To him, Mahan was safest there.

…

Xiancheng.

Jade Flower Tower.

Ma Chong drank heavily in the most luxurious Tianzi room.

At this time, he was surrounded by warblers and swallows, changing cups and cups, and felt so happy.

But at this moment, he seemed to have remembered something. His face suddenly darkened, he pushed the woman in his arms away, and shouted: "Get out of here!"

The women were frightened and screamed, but their faces turned pale and they exited the room.

Now who doesn't know that Ma Chong, the eldest son of Ma Ma, has inherited the position of head of the family?

To offend him is to seek death.

"What's wrong, nephew, why are you so angry? Are these women not to your liking? I'll find you some better ones another day." A voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and Ma Jin appeared. in front of the door.

When Ma Chong heard this, his anger turned into a smile. He asked Ma Jin to sit down and sighed: "I'm just a little unhappy at the thought of Ma Han not being seen alive or dead. If he is still alive, it will be really bad for me and Uncle Shu."

Ma Jin sat down in front of Ma Chong, picked up the jug and poured herself a glass of wine, and said lightly: "So what if he is alive? Ma Han is dead. If we say he is dead, he is dead, even if he is alive. died."

Ma Chong frowned, "But didn't my uncle also say that if he falls into the hands of someone with intentions, such as the hands of King Yan, it will be very troublesome."

Ma Jin picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "That's true, but if King Yan has the strength, he can naturally take care of this business, but if he doesn't have the strength, he can't do it even if he wants to. Of course, if he is alive, it is best to kill him."

After drinking the wine, he said, "In less than a month, the Ma family will join forces with the King of Yan to attack Jinzhou. This is an opportunity to make the King of Yan unable to turn over."

Ma Chong nodded. This was what the Dou family asked him and Ma Jin to do.

"Don't worry about this. I have sent an envoy to Xiliang to meet Cui Yan. He will introduce the envoy to the Chanyu of Xiliang. I think he will be interested in our plan." Ma Jin smiled coldly with a slanted mouth.

Ma Chong said "Oh" and was unhappy.

Although he came to Xiancheng and inherited the position of the head of the family.

But this was a big gap from his expectations before he arrived.

Ma Jin almost held the power of the Ma family alone, and he was like a puppet.

This made him extremely indignant.
