Beiming Shuangxue curled her lips and said: "Actually, even if my husband goes to meet my sweetheart, I won't mind, because I will go with my husband, hehe~"
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "I told you we're not in love, what are you thinking about? It just so happens that if you want to go with me, then of course it's good, so that you don't worry about me."
"Huh, my husband, you have to tell me, why did you go to Shenyang to meet that woman?"
Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "I don't know what she does. I had a fight with her back then, and I happened to be setting up a club in Shenyang City. Now she manages it for me. "
"Club? Escrow?"
"Well, yes, but it shouldn't be called a club now. Anyway, no matter what it is, we agreed at the beginning that when I go to find her again, she will help me find Qinghan."
Beiming Shuangxue pouted and said, "Ms. sir, if one day I suddenly disappear, will you look for me?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Of course, but if you leave a note and don't let me find you, I won't go find you. If you leave without saying goodbye, I will turn the Beiming family upside down and find you."
"Well, then I'd better not leave, hehe~ So what's that woman's name?"
"If I remember correctly, her name should be Gu Qingmei."
"Gu Qingmei? What's the origin?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I'm not sure, but she has something to do with Huang Taiji, or in other words, Huang Taiji has some kind of conflict of interest with her."
"No wonder my husband wants to go to Shenyang. It turns out it's because of that Gu Qingmei. My husband, at this juncture, Huang Taiji won't do anything to you, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly: "If it is said that I didn't know how to do it before, but Batu died a few days ago, and he had a younger brother named Cato. Cato should be responsible for this debt, Ma Xiaoquan."
"Well, then you can't go. The Jurchens are so barbaric."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "If I don't go, I will never know where Qinghan is. Qinghan left without saying goodbye. I have always had a knot in my heart. Even if she said she had nothing to do with me anymore, I would admit it to my face, and she I really can't accept leaving without saying goodbye."
Beiming Shuangxue nodded: "Sister Qinghan, it's true that my husband-in-law treats her so well, but he even abandons him for a child. Oh, but fortunately, my husband-in-law is still with us, hehe... .”
...
After returning to Ningyuan, Ma Xiaoquan briefly enjoyed a quiet family life for a few days, then hurried back to Jinzhou to meet Yuan Chonghuan.
Yuan Chonghuan was shocked when he heard that Ma Xiaoquan was going to Shenyang.
Recently, on the one hand, the Ming army and the Jurchens have seized each other's control points; on the other hand, Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Taiji have been exchanging letters and blaming each other.
Both sides had a high-sounding back-and-forth. During the game, Huang Taiji's Jurchen side never gained much advantage. On the contrary, the Ming army led by Yuan Chonghuan was always at a slight advantage. In addition, Ma Xiaoquan's victory at 80 a few days ago Several people captured Qiantun Pass and killed the Jurchen general Batu, which made Huang Taiji really angry.
"Brother Ma, if you go to Shenyang at this time, do you think Huang Taiji will let you go?" Yuan Chonghuan said worriedly, "You killed Batu. I heard that his brother Cato has been talking about you. If you show up, Even if Huang Taiji doesn't attack you, Cato will definitely find an opportunity to attack you..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and said: "Brother Yuan, don't worry. I'm going to Shenyang this time. I'm naturally well prepared. Brother Yuan thought, if I go, I can paralyze Huang Taiji on the one hand, and on the other hand, I can also explore Jurchen again." News from the side.”
"Of course I know, but you have an elder and a younger one, and your wife and children are all here. What will they do if you go?"
"Well, my wife Xiaomei, well, that is, Beiming Shuangxue will go to Shenyang with me."
"Well, since you insist on going, I know that no matter what I say, you will not not go. In this way, let's start talking ugly. If you really make any mistake and can't come back, I will take care of your wife and children. Send someone back to the capital."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay, give me half a month and I will get it done."
"Okay~~"
...
Ningyuan.
When Ma's mother learned that Ma Xiaoquan was going to Shenyang, she was immediately devastated.
"No, you can't say anything~" Ma Mu sternly refused, "You kid, why are you so dishonest? Do you know how dangerous Shenyang is? It's the base of the Jurchens there. Besides, you killed the Jurchens a few days ago. General Batu, if you go, won’t it be like a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth?”
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, my child has already made an agreement with Governor Yuan, so we can't go back on our word, right?"
"Already agreed? Even if you agree, refuse to go. If you don't go, I'll tell Yuan Chonghuan!" With that, Ma Mu was about to pack up and put on her coat.
"Mother, mother..." Ma Xiaoquan hugged Ma Mu, "I went to Shenyang to spy on the military situation, and I didn't go to die."
"Hmph, you killed the Jurchen general, and his brother is waiting to meet you now. Instead of hiding, you showed up at your door. What do you mean you said you didn't want to die?"
"That's not necessarily true. Batu's brother is not Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji's city is deep in the city. I don't think he wants me to die, hehe~"
"No, no matter what you say, you are not allowed to go!"
Ma Xiaoquan winked at Beiming Shuangxue, who understood and stepped forward to hold Ma Mu's arm and said: "Mom, my husband is not going to die this time. In fact, my husband is going to perform a mission. ......."
"Mission? What mission?"
Ma Xiaoquan was also stunned and thought to himself, little girl Beiming, what nonsense are you talking about.
"Yes, this mission was given to my husband by the emperor, and it must be completed. As for what the mission is, my husband has not told me. He said that it is a secret mission of Jin Yiwei, and only he and the emperor know about it."
Ma Mu sighed and said: "Emperor Tian Qi is like that now. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid he won't live much longer. The person who can take charge of things in the capital now is probably Wei Zhongxian. By the way Quan'er, I heard that you and The relationship between Wei Zhongxian and Wei Zhongxian is not harmonious, so if you come here and leave grandma in the capital, there won’t be any problems, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Mom, you just thought of this problem. Don't worry, grandma's place has been settled, and my uncle has returned to the capital. As for Wei Zhongxian, don't worry, he won't do evil things to me anymore."
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan's confident look, Ma Mu couldn't ask any more questions and could only continue to talk about her disagreement with him going to Shenyang: "If you go to Shenyang, will you take Xiaomei with you?"
"Of course not..." Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, "When I came here, I brought some people with me. Well, they can be regarded as my followers. Hehe, I have established a Vulcan Cult in the capital... .”
Ma Mu rolled her eyes and said: "No wonder, I just said why there are always a few people walking around outside the door, wearing strange robes. It was you who caused the trouble for a long time. How did you end up with yourself?" Like a magic stick?"
Beiming Shuangxue covered her mouth and almost laughed out loud.
"Mom, how can you call this a magic stick? These people are my loyal followers. I think it took a long time for the child to stay."
"Okay, okay, your entourage, do you mean to take them with you when you go to Shenyang?"
"Yes, Xiaomei, I, and our entourage are enough."
"Is this possible?" Ma Mu asked worriedly.
"Mom, don't worry. With my husband here, nothing can't be done..." Beiming Shuangxue comforted her.
"Well, okay then, don't tell Yue'er and the others about this. As for them, I'll just tell them that you went to Jinzhou to discuss matters with Yuan Chonghuan, and you won't be back for a month. That's okay. Alright."
"That's great, Mom, you are so considerate, hehe~"
Ma Mu sighed: "You are the most naughty of my four sons. Although my mother didn't take care of you very much, she is satisfied with you seeing that you are so promising."
...
Two days later, in Shenyang City.
After Huang Taiji took a letter and read it, he shook his head in disbelief.
"Great Khan, what's wrong?" asked the counselor next to him.
Huang Taiji folded the letter and said, "Do you still remember the deacon Ma Xiaoquan from the Ming Dynasty?"
"Remember Dahan's words~"
"He is coming to Shenyang."
"What, that Ma Xiaoquan is coming to Shenyang? Doesn't he want to live?" the counselor blurted out.
Huang Taiji glared at the counselor and said with a smile: "Looking at him like that, I knew he could survive, so he sent me a letter. This Ma Xiaoquan is really courageous."
Huang Taiji handed the letter to his adviser, who hurriedly opened it and read it, saying, "Why is it that Sima Zhao's intentions are so obvious for such a reason?"
Huang Taiji smiled and said: "Yes, you have used your obviousness very well. Do you think I agree or disagree?"
The counselor smiled and said: "Of course the Great Khan will agree."
"Oh, tell me~"
The counselor did not continue, he just smiled slightly, then drew a Chinese character with his fingers in his hand and showed it to Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji glanced at it, laughed, and immediately agreed: "Then let him come, um, but we can't let him go too smoothly, go and call Cato... "
The counselor respectfully said: "Here~"
...
Huang Taiji's letter of consent was quickly returned to Ma Xiaoquan. After receiving the letter of consent, he could go to Shenyang City unimpeded.
Ma Xiaoquan chose to leave from Jinzhou. Firstly, he could hide it from Huayue and the others. Secondly, the road from Jinzhou to Shenyang would be easier.
The journey ahead was not long. After passing a series of Jurchen checkpoints, Ma Xiaoquan and his party finally arrived at the outskirts of Shenyang three days later.
At the gate of the city, a bare-armed young man held a long knife in his hand and was looking forward eagerly.
