Chapter 7: The team returned to Beijing (2)

"I am the general of Mayang, Zuo Liangyu, and the chief of the Wuzhai, Ma Laogong... I bow to the concubine Ru Qiansui, Qiansui!"

"General Zuo, please get up, Dad, please get up too, all the adults!" Ma Gui had been waiting before, and Ma Gu was mentally prepared and became much more calm in dealing with it. Although she felt a little strange when she saw her father kneeling for her, in terms of etiquette, she is the king, her father is the minister, and this is the right thing for the minister to kneel against the king, heaven and earth, the king is the teacher, and the king is the teacher before the king is kissed.

As Magu entered western Hunan, the entire Miao people in western Hunan were in sensation. As the news that Magu had become the emperor's concubine was like wings, it spread throughout western Hunan and into the old city, the rebel leader Wu Heimiao.

"What's going on? Why did Magu suddenly become the concubine of the Han emperor?" After losing one after another, Wu Heimiao became more and more irritable. When he received the news that Magu suddenly returned from outside and had been crowned as the imperial concubine, he was even more furious.

After hearing this, Yin Ji was jealous and hated. Xiang Yuan was not as talented as Ma Gu, so why was she not as lucky as others? He married an emperor as soon as he married, and since then he was extremely noble. However, he worked hard, but he could be cut off his head at any time. He immediately slandered: "King, according to my opinion, this is the Ma family girl who sold herself to the court, which is a shame for our Miao family. This is a abandoned ancestor and forgot the history of our Miao family bullying by the Han people for hundreds of years. This is unforgivable. The Ma family is no longer qualified to be our Miao family."

As soon as Yin Ji finished speaking, the Qinglong God General Jian Ping was the first to stand up and responded: "Mrs. Yin is right. The Ma family has long betrayed our Miao family. They are traitors among our Miao family. They must not let the traitor king go."

"Shen Shen General Jian said he would not let him go, how could he not let him go?" Fan Jie glared at him and asked, "He is hiding in Mayang City where the city is strong and powerful, but we are trapped in this small old city."

"Fan Li, you..." Jian Ping's anger surged. This was not the first time Fan Li had arguing with him.

Seeing that the three sentences were wrong and were about to start arguing again, Yin Ji hurriedly inserted it in and said, "What the two gods said makes sense, so let's listen to the king's opinion."

All the generals surrendered to the gloomy Wu Heimiao, including the two gods who were summoned to discuss matters and did not say a word just now.

"For the sake of the present, we can only talk about other things by defending the old city." Wu Heimiao had not lost his mind and made any crazy decisions.

But how to defend it? Tens of thousands of soldiers were trapped in the old city, and they had to eat and drink, but they lacked weapons. The official army was well-equipped and helped the Miao family who were familiar with the terrain of the old city. In addition, some people in the old city who were originally loyal to the Ma family secretly connected to the guise. Although Wu Heimiao had Lao Chen and several artillery pieces, he was suffering from the fact that no one could build shells, and one less shot was fired. When the shells were snatched from the Ma family, they could only be a lump of iron.

"King, now our army's weapons are seriously insufficient, and if they continue to kill, even if they will be exhausted one day, please make plans early." The cold voice of the Suzaku God General Li Yao rang.

"Li Yao's divine general, I heard that you ordered people to risk their lives to pick up a lot of weapons and arrows from the battlefield. Why not support the other three divine generals? After all, everyone is guarding the same city now." Yin Ji and Li Yao were not dealt with, because Wu Heimiao was also lustful to the beautiful Li Yao, and she naturally spared no effort to weaken and attack her rival.

"That was exchanged for my brothers' lives. If the three gods need it, they can send someone to pick it up." Li Yao snorted coldly. She had seen through Wu Heimiao and the others, but it was not time to part ways, so she had been enduring it. Yin Ji kept using methods to weaken herself. How could she not know what was going on?

"General Li Shen, now you are not guarding the city alone, but the four of us guarding the city together. What if the three of us can't resist it, what's the use of you standing alone?" Jian Ping said to Li Yao bluntly.

"Since General Jian knows that he can't defend himself, why not hand over the people in his hand to me? I can make a military order in front of the king. If the people are in the city, the city will be dead." Li Yao did not deal with these three people in a day or two, and immediately took the initiative.

Jian Ping's face darkened and he was speechless. He asked him to hand over the troops in his hands, and it would be uncomfortable to kill him. Besides, this is a little capital to save his life. If he gave it to others, wouldn't he be slaughtered in the future?

Fan Li was about to take advantage of the situation and scolded Jian Ping for a few words, but he didn't want to keep a gloomy face and said nothing. Wu Heimiao, who had been quarreling, suddenly stopped him loudly and shouted: "Enough, I'll stop you. It's time. You can't work together yet. How can we keep the foundation we have worked hard to build?"

All the gods and generals were silent and stared at Wu Heimiao in a daze, waiting for the following words in his mouth.

Wu Heimiao coughed lightly and said, "The first thing is to announce to the public that the Ma family betrayed the Miao family and became the dog of the Han people. Magu even married the Han emperor. According to the rules passed down from our ancestors, Miao and Han cannot intermarry. Magu violated the ancestral rules and should be hanged in public according to the clan rules. The second thing is to stick to the old city. The king has already sent a letter to She Chongming in Guizhou. He has agreed to send 5,000 to 10,000 reinforcements from Guizhou to cooperate with me inside and outside to defeat Zuo Liangyu's official army."

When Jian Ping and the other three gods laughed and said, they heard the reinforcements, but the Zhuque God General Li Yao frowned secretly. Although Wu Heimiao's face was calm and there was no panic, Li Yao still felt an unknown feeling. She Chongming was beaten by Qin Liangyu and ran away with her head and could not take care of herself. There were no reinforcements coming. Even if there were, there would not be too many. If a person like She Chongming was rich and powerful, he would curry favor with you. When he saw that you were in trouble, he would never lose his strength to help a nominal ally hundreds of miles away.

He had to plan for himself and his nearly 10,000 brothers and their families, Li Yao thought to himself.

In Mayang City, after seeing his father, Ma Gu roughly told his father about everything he had happened in the capital. Although he had just passed the surprise period when he learned that his daughter was selected as a concubine by the emperor, when he heard about Ma Gu's bizarre encounters in those days and the story of encountering the emperor by chance in the teahouse, Ma Lao Gong was still very happy and lamented that this was a marriage made by God and could not be forced at all.

Ma Gu didn't dare to hide the news that he was pregnant. After telling him about it, Ma Lao Gong was almost overwhelmed by surprise. She looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally waited for the grandson (daughter) and the Ma family had a descendant. Although the child could not be named "Ma", it was still the blood of the Ma family. How could he be unhappy!

Magu was relieved because of this, and there was no condemnation as expected.

That's a prince or a princess. Ma Laoguan never dreamed that his grandson would have such a noble identity when he was born, and he suddenly became the father-in-law. Now Zuo Liangyu, a general who guarded one side, was much more respectful to him, but he was not as close as the two of them to deal with Wu Heimiao before.

The clever Zuo Liangyu knew that no matter whether Magu gave birth to a prince or a princess, there was basically no possibility of winning the throne of the emperor. A woman from the Miao family like Magu entered the palace to be a concubine. Not to mention the status, it would be fine when the emperor favored her. If one day she did not favor her and lost power, the most unlucky one would follow her ministers and relatives under her. Zuo Liangyu was unwilling to have the mark of "concubine" on her face, so she naturally needed to keep a distance, so as not to be called a "three-class slave" like Lu Bu in the future.

Zuo Liangyu had a good idea. He was born in the Liaodong Army and was originally a subordinate of Yuan Chonghuan. Later, he was transferred to Xiong Tingbi's subordinates and was deeply appreciated by Xiong Tingbi. Xiong Hu is now a noble concubine and has a status of more than Concubine Magu. Maybe one day he will be named the queen. If he doesn't have a backer or relationship with him, who will he follow?

Ma Gu was not very experienced in the world, so naturally she could not see it. However, Ma Lao Gong's decades of experience and vision have already been understood by him. However, this is also a common sense. It is nothing to be considered in the officialdom. At most, it is a hidden rule.

These did not affect the cooperation between Zuo Liangyu and Ma Laoguan. After all, they are now one mind and one purpose. Wu Heimiao and the four great generals under them are gradually distracted from their destiny. Among the four great generals, Qinglong, Xuanwu, continues to be loyal to Wu Heimiao, while the White Tiger God General is in harmony with Wu Heimiao. Although the Suzaku God General did not make it clear, he has made a decision in his heart to abandon Wu Heimiao. Specifically, whether to surrender to the official army or start a new job, he is still undecided for a while.
