Chapter 276 Letter Arrival
When Qin Huaidao and Ma Zhou were discussing inside the house and Xiao Yuexian was waiting outside, Xiao Yuexian already felt a little uneasy.

She rushed to Yangzhou this time, and it was nothing more than a time lag. Before the news of Xuyi reached Yangzhou, she used Li Ke's prince's gold seal to fake the news, tricked out the imperial bestowed festival axe, and then took the opportunity to snatch it.

But now that Qin Huaidao has come here and has delayed the time, Xiao Yuexian's calculation is difficult.

Although Xiao Yuexian is a Qin Ji, she practiced hard when she was young, and her hand skills are not weak. If no one else is around, she would sneak attack on Ma Zhou, and it would be no problem to seize Jieyue.

But Qin Huaidao appeared rashly, he is the son of general Qin Shubao, his strength and martial arts are both impressive, how could Xiao Yuexian be Qin Huaidao's opponent, not to mention the behavior of the two of them is very strange now, maybe they have seen her abnormality.

For a moment, Xiao Yuexian even had the urge to leave, but Xiao Yuexian finally calmed down. After she waited outside the house for a while, Ma Zhou and Qin Huaidao finally came out.

"My lord, your Highness is in danger. Quickly dispatch half of the guards from the right to accompany me to Xuyi. In addition, tell General Niu to carefully guard the city, and don't let the thieves take advantage of it." Ma Zhou went out as he went out. , while saying to Qin Huai.

Qin Huaidao nodded, and replied: "Don't worry, sir, I will send someone to Hanjiang Mansion to send a letter, asking General Niu to personally inspect and supervise Yangzhou's military affairs. There will be no mistakes."

Xiao Yuexian was standing under the stone steps not far from the two of them, so he could naturally hear their words, but what Ma Zhou said was quite different from just now.

If you only mobilize the right Xiaowei troops, you only need to order from Qin Huaidao. How to use the Jieyue, only by Dasuo Huainan and mobilizing the troops from various places in Huainan can you use the imperial bestowed Jieyue, and Xiao Yuexian will have the opportunity to snatch it. Xiao Yuexian was naturally anxious when he heard Ma Zhou's words.

Xiao Yuexian hurriedly said: "Sir, Your Highness has been taken into captivity. I don't know where he is. If you only send the right Xiaowei under the command of the young master, I'm afraid there will be insufficient manpower. Find the possibility of His Highness."

Xiao Yuexian's words made sense at first glance. Li Ke was kidnapped. As a subject, he came up as the savior. Ma Zhou must call in troops from various provinces to rescue him. Once he comes to Huainan, he can search for Li Ke's trace. , Second, to strengthen vigilance, so as not to let the thieves take the opportunity to disturb.

But ever since Ma Zhou heard Qin Huaidao's words, he became a little more wary of Xiao Yuexian in his heart. Hearing Xiao Yuexian's words, he felt something wrong no matter what, and his doubts about her deepened.

But after all, Xiao Yuexian was holding Li Ke's prince's golden seal. Before everything was determined, Ma Zhou was inconvenient to be rude, so Ma Zhou said: "Your Highness is not here. The army is of great importance, and the provincial government still needs to be notified. If the army is transferred rashly, it may be at a disadvantage to His Highness. The only thing we can do right now is to mobilize the Youxiao guards first and go to Xuyi for rescue."

Listening to Ma Zhou's words, Xiao Yuexian panicked. If he waited for Ma Zhou to report to Chang'an, and then got the news from Chang'an, it would be several days later.

After besieging Li Ke, Li Ke used himself as a bait to protect Xi Junmai to break out. Now that she has arrived in Yangzhou, no matter how slow Xi Junmai and Wang Xuance are, their messengers will arrive soon. By then, She can only be caught without a fight.

Xiao Yuexian said: "His Royal Highness is in danger, it is not unusual to delay for a moment, Mr. should act expediently and quickly dispatch the government army to search and rescue, otherwise it will be too late."

Xiao Yuexian also didn't care about acting too hastily, which would arouse Ma Zhou's suspicion, so in order to trick Ma Zhou into asking for the imperial axe, he urged him again.

Xiao Yuexian urged Ma Zhou to mobilize the government army, and the mobilization of the government army required the emperor to give Jieyue. Only in this way could she have a chance to win Jieyue.

Xiao Yuexian's abacus was naturally right, but Xiao Yuexian didn't know that Ma Zhou had already become suspicious of her, the more she was like this, Ma Zhou became more certain that Xiao Yuexian must be planning something.

Ma Zhou said: "The transfer of the army is a matter of time, but it is not urgent for now, and I will go to Xuyi in person before making a conclusion."

Xiao Yuexian didn't know what Qin Huaidao said to Ma Zhou, and it moved Ma Zhou, but it was an indisputable fact that Ma Zhou's attitude had changed drastically. Xiao Yuexian knew that the current situation was no longer in her hands.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Xiao Yuexian felt anxious, so his expression changed, and he turned to Ma Zhou and asked: "King Ma Bin, His Highness has sincerely trusted you and ordered you to take charge of the military. Knowing that His Highness is in trouble, but disregarding His Highness's life and death, could it be that he is greedy for power and wants to seize the opportunity to usurp the military power in Huainan, and his intentions are wrong?"

Hearing this, Ma Zhou waved his hands with a serious face and said, "I, Ma Zhou, started in the early twenties. If it weren't for Your Highness's insight, I would still be a loafer in the market. Your Highness treats me like a national scholar. I know it. But it is exactly the same." , I can’t live up to His Highness’s entrustment. If Your Highness is in trouble, I will do my best to protect Huainan, find His Highness, and repay Your Highness’s kindness.”

Xiao Yuexian said: "Since that's the case, why are you procrastinating like this? Don't you fear that the time will drag on for a long time, and His Highness will suffer!"

Ma Zhou cupped his hands towards the north and said: "If Your Highness is in trouble this time, I, King Ma Bin, will never live. I will thank you with death, and I will be your Highness's minister in this underworld. But right now, Your Highness is entrusted to me, for the sake of Huainan." Anwen, the government army is definitely not allowed to move. I also ask the girl to go to the side yard to rest for a while, and then follow me to Xuyi."

As Ma Zhou said, his round eyes stared straight at Xiao Yuexian.

Ma Zhou was also a weak scholar, and in terms of skill, he was absolutely no match for Xiao Yuexian, but when Xiao Yuexian and Ma Zhou looked at each other, Xiao Yuexian, who was looking directly at him, shuddered unconsciously.

Although the power of a literati is light, but the strength of character is strong, and it is not easy for others to subdue, Xiao Yuexian even sighed in his heart, if there were more loyal ministers like Ma Zhou around his father, how could he? He fell to the end of his death and the country's destruction.

Xiao Yuexian's lies couldn't last long, when the guards of Linjiang Palace were preparing to go north, the news of Wang Xuance from Xuyi finally came.

"Prince Bin's personal message: something has changed in Xuyi, the princess Qin Ji of the palace is Xiao Yuexian, the widow of the disabled Liang, who colluded with the old ministers of the disabled Liang, and took advantage of the flood to ambush His Highness outside the city of Xuyi, and has now taken His Highness away. After seeing the letter, King Bin must be very careful , Emphasize Yangzhou's armaments, stabilize the southeast, and don't let the thieves take advantage of it."

Wang Xuance's letter was only a few words, obviously written in a hurry, but Ma Zhou knew Wang Xuance's handwriting, so he knew that this letter must have been written by Wang Xuance himself.

Wang Xuance is Li Ke's confidant, so his words are naturally trustworthy. Ma Zhou still doesn't know what happened here.

"Come here, take the fairy lady down and bring her here!" Since Ma Zhou was suspicious of Xiao Yuexian, he made Xiao Yuexian wait in the side yard and was not allowed to leave. When Ma Zhou saw Wang Xuance's letter, he immediately ordered someone to send Xiao Yuexian took it and brought it to her side.
