The secret room of the Guo Prime Minister's Mansion was built under the artificial lake in the back garden of the Guo Prime Minister's Mansion. It is five meters away from the lake surface, three floors above and below. The third floor has food and water, and a lot of supplies are stored. The second floor has a small arsenal, as well as the Guo Prime Minister's bedroom. The first floor is the reception room. Two blue night stones are hung on the wall of the reception room, one left and one right, which will make the living room brightly illuminate. Although the reception room is underground, it is not stuffy. It is obviously connected to the ground and has some ventilation.

The living room of the secret room is a bit empty, more like a certain village of the gathering hall. Apart from the two rows of chairs, there is no other furnishings, which is in a strong contrast with the luxurious and desireful house of the Grand Prime Minister Ma Qingdong. At this time, Grand Prime Minister Ma Qingdong sat expressionlessly on a large chair covered with tiger skin. Next to him was a small table, with five golden and large secret oranges on the table, which were from Laiyuan City yesterday.

Dong Chenfu, the Imperial Army Captain, hurriedly walked in from outside. When he saw Ma Qingdong, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Dong Chenfu, please see the Prime Minister!" Ma Qingdong raised his hand and signaled Dong Chenfu to calm down. Dong Chenfu got up and then came to Ma Qingdong two steps away, bowing to report to Ma Qingdong.

Dong Chenfu said in a deep voice: "Prince, Guan Zhiyi accidentally entered the imperial hunting ground of Dingming Mountain yesterday and was captured by the imperial guards. He was forced to surrender to Tolu Wushu. At that time, Tolu Wushu threatened Guan Zhiyi with the food pill. Guan Zhiyi surrendered and recognized Tolu Wushu as his godfather. Now Guan Zhiyi returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and became an internal support for Tolu Wushu's thief! According to the informant of the General's Mansion, Tolu Wushu will organize troops to raid the Prime Minister's Mansion in the near future. The general's mansion's plan is to capture the Prime Minister and regain military power!"

Ma Qingdong nodded and slowly closed his eyes, as if an old monk had entered a meditation, without saying a word. Dong Chenfu waited patiently. After a long time, Ma Qingdong opened his eyes and smiled, "I can understand Guan Zhiyi. After all, life is in the hands of others. As the saying goes, how dare you not bow your head under the eaves! Who in the world is not afraid of death? It is not wrong to think about protecting yourself at critical moments! But our general is very surprised!"

Dong Chenfu whispered: "Prince, what should I do with this rebellious boy Guan Zhiyi? Should I arrest him immediately?"

Ma Qingdong, who was sitting on the chair, waved his hands, stood up, held his sleeves with his hands, and shook it in the secret room, and said leisurely: "No need! Just send someone to watch him well. Originally, he was one of our baits. If we don't use him, how could we catch the big fish of Tolu Wushu? Humph, it's ridiculous Tolu Wushu, but he is just a pig and dog killer. He dares to fight with me Ma Qingdong. It's really overestimating his ability!"

Dong Chenfu asked with concern: "Prince, you are not afraid of 10,000, but you are afraid that if we want to mobilize some troops from outside the city? Although the Prime Minister's Mansion has not bad martial arts skills, the more people are, the better! My subordinates are afraid that those people in the court have good relationships with Tolu Wushu, and lobby those lieutenants who lead the troops. After all, Tolu Wushu has a pellet on the food pill at hand, which is a big threat to us!"

Ma Qingdong lowered his head and said nothing, shook back to the table step by step, reached out to pick up a tribute orange from Laiyuan City, peeled it, threw the orange peel on the table, divided the big orange in half, and handed it to Dong Chenfu. Dong Chenfu was flattered, took the orange, threw it into his mouth, and ate it in big mouthfuls, the juice was everywhere, and it was sweet to the heart. Dong Chenfu couldn't help but praise: "What a sweet orange!"

Ma Qingdong divided the other half of the orange into several petals, threw it into his mouth one by one, chewed it slowly, and sat on the chair again, then said slowly: "No hurry, we are now fishing big fish with long lines. We lifted the fish too early and too fast, and it is easy to startle the fish! Those lieutenant who have always been ambiguous are just waiting for the price to sell, wanting to take the opportunity to sell a good price! The price of Tolu is not as high as mine. He wants to offer the price first, so he will offer the price first! When he offers the price, I will increase the price later!"

Dong Chenfu agreed and said, "Prince, how to deal with that thing Ma Lu?"

Ma Qingdong smiled slightly, grabbed the handkerchief on the table and wiped his hands, and said disdainfully: "He? It's just a waste! Just send someone to stare at him. Yesterday, he asked him to take Guan Zhiyi to hunt, but in fact he was using him. I had guessed that he wanted to bring Guan Zhiyi to Tolu Wushu.

Where can Guan Zhiyi betray his first adoptive father, Tong Hu Changman, for the sake of his future, wouldn't he betray me?"

Dong Chenfu couldn't help laughing, "Prince, my subordinates think that Guan Zhiyi has recognized another adoptive father again. Now he has many famous fathers. Tolu Wushu can rest assured to let Guan Zhiyi kneel down and call him adoptive father? He is not afraid that Guan Zhiyi will turn his face and kill him, his adoptive father, and then turn around and take the head to ask the prime minister for his reward?"

Ma Qingdong handed his sleeves with his hands, whispered softly: "So, I am his second adopted father of Guan Zhiyi. Tolu Wushu is the third. Judging from the current situation, his second adopted father is already sure to win! Guan Zhiyi kowtowed and killed Tong Hu Changman. It seems that he will knock Tolu Wushu to death again. No, in a few days I will drive Guan Zhiyi, the bastard. This kid is clearly an adopted father killer, whoever he kills!" Dong Chenfu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Ma Qingdong looked at Dong Chenfu up and down with a pair of big triangle eyes. Dong Chenfu was uncomfortable when Ma Qingdong looked at him, and sweat broke out on his head, but Dong Chenfu did not dare to wipe him. Ma Qingdong laughed and said, "Chenfu, what are you afraid of? You are the confidant of the original star, and you have always been loyal to the original star. With your help, you will naturally value you. After all, you are like Guan Zhiyi, the person who has no background! Guan Zhiki came to surrender me because of the situation. It was not sincere."

Dong Chenfu said embarrassedly: "Prince, every time I see the Prime Minister, I am trembling, just like when I was a child, I saw my father! There is no way, and I don't want to do this, but whenever I see the Prime Minister, I feel this way, and I naturally feel awe in my heart! Maybe it's because the Prime Minister is born with majesty!" Dong Chenfu compared Ma Qingdong with his father and invisibly flattered Ma Qingdong.

Ma Qingdong laughed loudly and said to himself: "Born with majesty? I was so impatient in the Da Shang Dynasty that year that I was so down and taught a few students. I was so poor that I couldn't even eat meat a few times a year. My wife despised me and ran back to my parents' home. Relatives hated me and friends stayed away from me. Did I ever have majesty at that time? I read a lot of poetry and books, but I was insulted by the rich man who didn't study. I was gentle and swept the floor. Even those who farmed and ate manure in the village dared to laugh at me!"

Dong Chenfu said respectfully: "But now, through his own efforts, the prime minister returns to the country and is powerful all over the world. He is no longer the rich man who bullies you. He is now kneeling in front of the prime minister, and the prime minister is unwilling to look up at him. It can be seen that it has been thirty years since the east and thirty years of the river!"

Ma Qingdong sneered, "Through my own efforts? If it weren't for Tie Shu and Tie Bu, how could I have the power to dominate the world today? Without the help of the father and son, even if I work hard, I will just teach well when I return to China. I can only collect more children from rich families and make a living! I am lucky, this platform is more important than personal efforts! Of course, with a good platform, I have to work harder to make a good life!"

Dong Chenfu claimed that he was. Ma Qingdong looked up at the simple tables and chairs in the living room, sighed and said slowly: "Chenfu, you must not understand. I arranged the house magnificently, but why is this secret room so simple! Right? Actually, I have to sit in this secret room every now and then, reminding myself not to forget my original name, don't forget that when I was at the worst of my life back then, I couldn't even drink porridge, and I could only drink cold water when I was hungry, and I was so hungry that I was so hungry! Today, everyone is afraid of the true nature, not because I was born with majesty, but because I was afraid of the power in my hands!"

Ma Qingdong stood up again, put his hands behind his back, and paced around the reception room. Ma Qingdong said in a deep voice: "I, Ma Qingdong, have been a poor scholar, and have been able to get to the point where the world is so powerful today. I understand the importance of power! No matter who wants to take power away from me, I have to resist! Tiebu can't do it, and Tolu Wushu can't do it, and even more so, the butcher can do it! He thought that his sister was the queen and he was a royal relative, so he could share the power in my hands, and there was no door!"

Dong Chenfu listened quietly, without echoing, and without saying anything. Ma Qingdong narrowed his eyes, smiled, and looked back at Dong Chenfu who was standing on the ground with a respectful look on his face, "People nowadays are all impetuous, and they cannot do things steadily and want to take shortcuts in everything they do! Just like Tolu is incompetent, he dares to be a general if he has any ability, and wants to control the military and political power of returning to his country? He is just a pig and a dog.

He was a butcher, and he could only reach the top with his sister. Once he succeeded, he would dare to think about the swan's nonsense!"

Dong Chenfu suddenly said, "In the prime minister's opinion, this general Tolu is not as skilled as Guan Zhiyi?"

Ma Qingdong nodded and said with praise: "No, right! Guan Zhiyi is a native of a thief. He uses any means to survive. He worships Tong Hu Changman as his adoptive father, and I am the adoptive father. Tolu Wuzhu is just a force of the situation, in order to survive! It is true that people go to a high place! But Tolu Wuzhu has relied on his sister to get to power. How far is he worse than Guan Zhiyi! Guan Zhiyi has worked hard today. If the opportunity is right, Guan Zhiyi can become a hero, but everything Tolu Wuzhu has picked up, he is just a bear!"

Ma Qingdong narrowed his eyes, remembered Guan Zhiyi's face, and said sadly: "Actually, Guan Zhiyi is not easy, but in order to achieve great things, I can only abandon him as bait, otherwise the fish will not take the bait! There is no way, who made him a humble local thief, not the direct line of the true nature? He bribed Yuan Xiang with the beautiful golden beads, and recognized me as his adoptive father. He just wanted to use Yuan Xiang to climb up, but he absolutely couldn't imagine that I was also using him!"

Dong Chenfu lowered his head and said respectfully: "I am just a martial artist, but I am really flattered to be the confidant of the prime minister!"

Ma Qingdong laughed and said, "You boy, your skill in flattering is not inferior to anyone! When you met me in the mansion of Nanwang Tie Shu, I was still a teacher. The first thing I said was to praise me was not an ordinary person, and I would definitely make a name for myself and make a fortune in the future! Although you are just an ordinary martial artist, I remember your words and always remember them! If it weren't for your words, I might not have climbed so fast and motivated!"

Dong Chenfu's face was a little flushed. When he met Ma Qingdong in the Nanwang Mansion, he just flattered him for a few words. He didn't expect that this not-stunning teacher would one day become the prime minister of the country. When Dong Chenfu saw him, he would flatter him politely. He never expected that a flattering word would bring him his official fortune! After becoming the prime minister of the Kuwang, the teacher promoted him and became a confidant, and then sent him to the imperial guards to become a captain step by step.

Ma Qingdong smiled and said, "As the saying goes, good words warm in three winters, and bad words hurt people in June! I believe that this mouth of a person can bring good luck to himself and bad luck to himself, but it depends on what the person says and how he says! The same thing, different people say different words will bring different consequences. Just like admonishing the same thing, some people will be beheaded when they say it, and some people will be promoted. It can be seen that the power of language is far stronger than people think!"

The two were talking, and Ma Fu, the chief steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, walked in from outside. When Ma Fu saw Ma Qingdong, he bowed and bowed, "Prince, Minister Gu Yangyu from the Ministry of Personnel, was asking for a meeting outside, saying that there was something important to ask to see the Prime Minister!"

Ma Qingdong nodded, "You ask him to wait in the study, just say that I am not in the mansion and will be back soon!" Ma Fu agreed and turned to Ma Qingdong and left. Ma Fu is sixty years old this year. He is Ma Qingdong's biggest confidant in this prime minister's mansion. He is loyal. Ma Qingdong trusts Ma Fu very much and leaves him with all the big and small matters of the entire prime minister's mansion to deal with. Ma Fu never disappoints Ma Qingdong, just like one of Ma Qingdong's arm.

Dong Chenfu narrowed his eyes and said in confusion: "This Minister Gu is not the same as an ordinary official. He rarely forms gangs. With his honest temper, it is rare to be able to be the Minister. It is simply a clear stream among officials! But now it is dark, what should Lord Gu do to meet the Prime Minister?"

Ma Qingdong held his sleeves with his hands and laughed: "This is not simple. He wants to do something that he dare not do during the day! Well, then you go back first, Chen Fu, don't act rashly after you go back, so as not to alarm the snake. Just wait for my orders. I will meet this Gu Shilang, Lord Gu, and see what's wrong with him!"

Dong Chenfu agreed respectfully, bowed to Ma Qingdong, and turned around and left. Ma Qingdong stared at Dong Chenfu's leaving back, expressionless, thinking about something, and muttered to himself after a while: "Things have changed a little quickly!"
