Summary of the previous chapter: The winner of the competition was won by the female relatives of the Kuai family. Ma Xiaoquan took advantage of the situation to call Kuai Yue and Cai Maoyi together and asked them to use more efforts to surrender Cao Cao. Cai Mao expressed his determination to surrender Cao Cao...
...
The person behind him is Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and patted Kuai Yue on the shoulder, he laughed and said: "It's not just Cai Mao, Yidu, if you have this intention, you can also keep your official position, or even be promoted... I wonder if you are interested.
Woolen cloth?"
When Kuai Yue heard this, his eyes shone brightly and he said excitedly: "Master Shangxian, do you really mean what you say?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Perhaps you can be promoted to Guang Luxun..."
When Kuai Yue heard this, he knocked the tea cup off the table with a clang.
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and comforted Kuai Yue: "Don't worry about the alien. If you have the ability, it will be okay."
Kuai Yue shook his hands and said in a trembling voice: "Master...Shangxian...I...I can really...really be able to do it...
..Do......"
Before Kuai Yue finished speaking, Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said, "I dare not say anything nonsense about whether I can do it, but if you work hard, there should be no problem."
Kuai Yue was overjoyed when he heard this. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to Ma Xiaoquan: "Don't worry, Lord Shangxian, I will definitely persuade my lord to surrender to the Prime Minister!"
...
At noon that day, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao introduced Ma Xiaoquan. Of course, they introduced Ma Xiaoquan as the Immortal Marquis.
Liu Cong heard that he was the Immortal Marquis. When he inquired again, he heard that the Immortal Marquis had a very good relationship with Cao Cao, and he felt a little unhappy.
A young attendant next to him happened to suggest that it would be best to dry the Immortal Marquis first, and it would not be too late to see him again when he was done. Liu Cong agreed.
...
"What? My lord is not feeling well, so we can't see each other for the time being?" Cai Mao strode forward and grabbed the collar of the servant who came to report.
"General Cai... the younger one also listens to the lord. The other younger ones don't know either..."
Just when Cai Mao was about to get angry again, Kuai Yue stepped forward, grabbed Cai Mao, and sent the servant away.
Kuai Yue said: "Degui, please be patient. In recent days, my lord has said that he feels unwell."
Cai Mao glanced at Ma Xiaoquan who was standing not far away playing with the birds, and whispered to Kuai Yue: "I know, but look at the alien world, the evil way is there. If we don't show some sincerity, I'm afraid we will be here."
If Duke Cao really calls us then, our official positions will be gone."
Kuai Yue pursed his lips and smiled, and responded: "Degui, you don't understand what my lord means. This is not a trivial matter. My lord is pretending to be ill. He must have some knots in his heart. You know it."
, Since Huang Zu was killed by Sun Quan, the anti-Cao faction has been declining day by day. I know what you are thinking, but it is too risky. In this case, why not surrender to Duke Cao together...
"
Kuai Yue spoke very implicitly, but the content of his words directly expressed Cai Hao's desire to go it alone.
Cai Mao was exposed by Kuai Yue and did not deny it. He nodded and fully agreed with Kuai Yue's opinion.
Yes, instead of thinking about going it alone, it is better to surrender to Cao Cao. According to Lord Shangxian's promise, he can be the commander of the navy no matter what. In this way, the military power is still not lost.
"Hehe" Kuai and Cai looked at each other and laughed secretly.
At this time, Ma Xiaoquan came over and asked: "How is the situation?"
Cai Hao pretended to be embarrassed: "Master Hou...oh no, Master Shangxian, my lord is ill. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you today. I'm very sorry..."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. If I can't see you today, I'll see you tomorrow."
Kuai Yue said: "What should I do if I can't see you tomorrow?"
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly: "If Liu Cong doesn't see me tomorrow, then you tell him that if you want to save him, Jingzhou Mu will come out and see me. Tomorrow afternoon at the latest. If you don't see me, many people in Jingzhou Mu's position will probably do it."
Like it.”
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan flicked his sleeves and turned away, leaving Cai Mao and Kuai Yue looking at each other.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan's disappearing figure, Cai Mao slapped his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to find that boy Liu Cong now!"
Kuai Yue nodded: "I'll go with you!"
...
Back at his residence, Ma Xiaoquan wiped away his unhappy mood and happily went to the bedroom to find Murong Ziyan.
Yesterday's joint training with Murong Ziyan was not satisfactory. Ma Xiaoquan wanted to practice with Ziyan again today. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw an acquaintance.
"Mao Gang?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at the heroic man in front of him and smiled.
The man stepped forward and bowed and said: "Master, my disciple is unfilial. He went out a few days ago, and now he comes to pay his respects to you. Please forgive me!"
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward to support Mao Gang, patted Mao Gang on the shoulder and said: "Eh? You see what you said, our master and apprentice have nothing to be polite about. Come on, come on, take a seat, take a seat, we haven't seen each other for a long time.
Let’s have a good chat between master and apprentice today! Zi Yan, pour tea for Mao Gang and ask for the best!”
Zi Yan covered her face and smiled softly, saying softly: "I know, Brother Xiao Ma!"
Seeing the beautiful figure of Murong Ziyan walking out, Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Mao Gang, you know, I went to Fancheng to take in this little girl last time. It was really good."
Mao Gang nodded, hummed, and said nothing.
After a while, Murong Ziyan brought two cups of fragrant tea, smiled again and went out.
That night, Ma Xiaoquan and Mao Gang chatted for a long time. Ling'er and Murong Ziyan did not disturb the master and apprentice, and found another room to rest.
Early the next morning, Mao Gang got up to say goodbye, and Ma Xiaoquan no longer wanted to stay.
When Mao Gang walked away, Ling'er stepped forward and asked Ma Xiaoquan curiously: "Ms. Mao Gang, what's the matter with Mao Gang's sudden visit here?"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows proudly and teased Ling'er: "What do you think?"
Ling'er thought for a moment and shook her head.
"Let me kiss you and tell you after a hundred kisses!"
Ling'er gave a squeaky sound and cursed: "Not serious, disgusting!"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said, "Mao just told me some important news last night. Well, what I'm looking for is found."
Ling'er groaned and asked again: "Is it the solar recorder?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes, but I may not have much time today. Forget it, now that I know where the things are, I will pick them up in a few days."
Ling'er worriedly said: "Ms. sir, aren't you afraid that something might change if things get too late?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said: "Change? It's okay if you change."
In fact, it wasn't that Ma Xiaoquan didn't want to get the solar recorder quickly, but that he was afraid that as soon as he picked up that thing, he would leave here.
Ling'er doesn't talk much, she supports her husband, no matter what he does, he will support her.
...
Mao's mansion.
Mao Gang was holding a cup of fragrant tea and playing with the cup with great interest. In front of him, Ding Yi stood respectfully.
Mao Gang chuckled: "Ding Yi, tell me...I told that guy the whereabouts of that thing, will he go get it soon?"
Ding Yi smiled and said respectfully: "Master, what do you think?"
Mao Gang laughed: "I think so, I don't think so."
"Why?"
Mao Gang said: "Because he has some ulterior secrets, which even his wives cannot know very clearly... Oh, by the way, that guy really made Murong Zi
That little girl Yan was taken away, huh, what a pity, I originally wanted to give Murong Ziyan to Cai Hao..."
Ding Yi said: "Master, if that's the case, why do you still tell him the whereabouts of that thing? You know, the whereabouts of this thing was obtained by you, Master, at a great expense of money and material resources. Moreover, this thing is the same as that thing."
We have a relationship with each other. If Master, you tell Mr. Lu about this, I am afraid that they will not trust each other..."
Mao Gang stretched out his hand, shook his head and said: "Ding Yi, you are wrong. If I tell Mr. Lu that Yuan Fang is suspected of betraying him, then Mr. Lu will not only not believe me, but will trust Yuan Fang even more."
.”
"Then Master, what do you mean..."
Mao Gang laughed: "Just wait and see what happens!"
Ding Yi stood up, bowed respectfully to Mao Gang and said, "Master is wise!"
...
In the afternoon, Ma Xiaoquan received news that Liu Cong was coming to see him in person.
Ma Xiaoquan had been preparing for a long time. When he heard the news, he laughed and led Ling'er and Murong Ziyan to wait quietly together.
Sure enough, within an hour, Liu Cong arrived at Ma Bing's house in great force.
The horse soldiers served as officials in the court, but their official positions were not high. If Lord Zhoumu came to visit, he would not be able to come to his home even if he had to queue for ten lifetimes.
Ma Bing understood that Liu Cong was willing to come to his home entirely because of Ma Xiaoquan.
"Master Shangxian is indeed very capable," the horse soldier sighed with emotion, and immediately ordered his subordinates to get ready.
Liu Cong was not a pampered person. When he came to the door of Ma Bing's house, he got out of the car and entered the house on foot, with Cai Mao and Kuai Yue leading the way.
Compared with Zhou Mu's family, Ma Bing's family seemed much shabby. Liu Cong didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, what he was thinking about most at the moment was the surrender of Cao Cao. Hey, let's put aside other things for now.
Since rejecting Shenxian Hou's request for an audience yesterday, Cai Hao and Kuai Yue came to chat with him.
They said they were chatting, but in fact the two of them were constantly aggressive with each other.
Liu Cong also had a lot of complaints in his heart, but if it weren't for the strong support of the Cai family and the Kuai family, he probably wouldn't be able to sit in the position of Jingzhou pastor today.
After much thought, coupled with the urging and persuasion of Cai Hao and Kuai Yue, Liu Cong decided to meet the immortal Hou Ma Xiaoquan in person.
If Ma Xiaoquan is consistent with his expectations, Liu Cong will definitely agree to surrender to Cao Cao. Of course, if his expectations are inconsistent with reality, Liu Cong would rather not be the Jingzhou shepherd than fight for it.
