The Book of Heaven

Chapter 428 was pitted

When Ma Zheng followed the Chinese army led by Li Yuan to the first city in Dayueshi territory, Zhuge Mingyue and his party also happened to walk into Tianshui City.

The city guard, Li Yan, set himself on fire to betray the empire. In order to avoid turmoil in Tianshui City and the entire northwest border, the Mawang Mansion immediately stood up and took over the entire Tianshui City.If the regulations of the imperial court were strictly followed, the Mawang Mansion could not manage Tianshui City for a long time, but all the palaces could not be involved in politics, otherwise it could be regarded as a rebellion.

In the era of imperial power, these regulations seemed a bit weird, but they had practical significance.Kings with different surnames like Ma Wangfu may be relatively more relaxed. If they are real royal princes, as long as they dare to reach out to any aspect of the local military and government, they will definitely be impeached by the court officials. If it is not good, it will even lead to the fate of the whole family.

However, Tianshui City is currently in a special period, and it is not easy for the court to select new officials to manage it. Moreover, Li Yan has been in Tianshui City for a long time. God knows if an ordinary court official can control the entire Tianshui City.In addition, the imperial court is now using troops against the Great Yue Clan. Although no one doubts the outcome of the war, the shorter the battle lasts, the more beneficial it will be for the imperial court to consume the end of the month. Therefore, at this time, Tianshui City, which is the rear of the battle line, is There must be no problem at all.

Due to various reasons, the imperial court finally had to order the Mawang Mansion to temporarily manage Tianshui City, and it was managed by the military system. Under the two requirements of ensuring stability and front-line support, it must be done before the end of the war against the Great Yuezhi. Dig out all the people who placed Li Zong in Tianshui City, so as to ensure that the imperial court can take over smoothly after the officials are re-arranged in the future.

In fact, those officials in the palace hall in Chang'an City also knew that no one could do it if they wanted to clear Tianshui City. Only the native Mawang Mansion could do it. For many years, he has not been able to really hurt the foundation of Mawangfu.

There are also officials who are skeptical about this, worrying that the power of the Ma family in the northwest will grow wildly in this way, and sometimes too strong power can easily arouse greater desires in people's hearts.It is only because the Li family and Li Yan's rebellion brought countless troubles to the empire. It is conceivable that if the Ma family really had other ideas, the impact on the empire would be huge.

Although the northwest is not considered rich, it is a very important area of ​​the empire. Not only is this area rich in powerful soldiers and generals, there are also many horse farms that can provide military horses. Compared with the Central Plains, the terrain is higher. That is to dive straight down, which has a considerable advantage in terms of strategy.

It is precisely because of this that the Northwest is an important town that the empire has worked hard for hundreds of years, but no one thought that Li Yan, who was used to restrict the Ma family, would embark on the road of rebellion, and at this juncture, everyone except the Ma family The imperial court really couldn't find a more suitable manpower to sit in Tianshui City.

Even if some people objected, it became a fact that the Ma family managed Tianshui City in the end, so Zhuge Mingyue was extremely shocked when he saw groups of soldiers holding up the "horse" military flag guarding the city at the gate of Tianshui City.

Ma Daogong personally asked Ma Zheng to serve as the supervisor of Li Yuan's army. In fact, he recognized Ma Zheng's status in the Ma family from another angle. Now Zhuge Mingyue, who was engaged to Ma Zheng, arrived in Tianshui City, no matter whether it was Zhuge's family It is still the status of the daughter-in-law of the Ma family, and the Ma family must pay attention to it, not to mention the respect and courtesy that should be given.

After Zhuge Mingyue entered the city, another person also appeared outside Mawang Mansion, the small courtyard where Zhuge Mingyue stayed.

"I'm Ma Zhao, and I'm here to play the floor!"

Although Ma Zhao had already spoken in as gentle a voice as possible, he still shocked the two Zhuge family members standing at the door. Anyone who saw a strong man standing in front of him, his arms were bigger than his own His thighs are still thick, and his blue-faced fangs look like he wants to eat people, I'm afraid everyone will be shocked.

"Let him in."

Just when the guards of Zhuge's family who were in charge of security at the door had a headache and didn't know whether to let it go or take it down, Zhuge Xingxing's voice appeared in time, and finally relieved them.

"What kind of floor shop are you here for?"

Zhuge Xingxing was not afraid of Ma Zhao, of course she knew Ma Zhao, so she knew that Ma Zhao could not pose a threat to her young lady, but Zhuge Xingxing was still a little embarrassed when he heard that Ma Zhao was going to be on the floor.

No, who wants you to protect it? Isn't this a slap in the face of Zhuge Ji's guard force?
"Of course it is to protect the mistress." Ma Zhao, who has not shown up for a long time, has not changed because of the improvement of martial arts. Ma Zhao has always been able to save things like talking, and as for fighting Zhuge Xingxing, it is even more impossible. However, it still knows who is the enemy and who is its own.

"We don't need it here, you see there are already so many people here, there is no room for you on the floor."

"I can sleep standing up if I don't have a seat." The application on Ma Zhao's face hardly changed, and it fell into Zhuge Xingxing's eyes, as if Ma Zhao was determined to marry her.After working so hard all the way, I couldn't see Ma Zheng. The Zhuge Xing Xing Cup just let out a sigh of relief. Now that Ma Zhao teased it, it immediately exploded. It jumped up three feet in place, pointed at Ma Zhao's head and said, "Anyway!" What did you say? Is there any awe in your heart?"

"I don't understand. I'm just here to protect my wife. I don't really include you. If you want to survive, you should disperse the road quickly. If it interferes with my execution of whatever the master gives, be careful." Ma Zhao has always been a short-tempered guy. Even if it took a little longer to talk to a beauty like Zhuge Xingxing, he couldn't help but draw his sword.

"Keng!"

Ma Zhao moved quickly, and Zhuge Xingxing did not move too slowly. Qingfeng was immediately unsheathed when he raised his right hand. Even though he didn't have the momentum to cut a person twice, he was not weak.On the contrary, Ma Zhao's movements seem to be quite slow. After all, he is big, and he cultivates external skills that are good at strength. Standing in front of Zhuge Xingxing, who is as nimble as a monkey, he looks like a big bear, and he is the kind of big one whose IQ needs to be recharged. bear.

"open!"

When the big knife collided with the exquisite Qingfeng, the big dog Xiong Ma Zhao didn't use any strength at all. He knew Zhuge Xingxing's identity, and he also knew that he could never really hurt Zhuge Xingxing, so the knife was just a gesture, but he was still tall. After estimating Zhuge Xingxing's strength, Zhuge Xingxing couldn't help but let out an exclamation just for such a casual puff.

"I do not have"

At this time, Ma Zhao finally knew something was wrong, even if he was born with supernatural powers, he wouldn't be able to throw a woman flying with a raised hand.

Zhuge Xingxing's face was tense, but there was an indescribable cunning in her eyes. She clearly could control her body to land steadily, but she wanted to sway left and right, and ended up staggering to the ground.

"Oh, my feet hurt so much!"

Judging from the appearance, Zhuge Xingxing is still a delicate little girl, but now such a little girl flew to the ground and screamed, immediately attracted Ma Zhao's hot eyes.
