Free time is easy to pass.

After summoning the coal merchants, Zhao Xu gave lectures every day because everything was arranged, Doudou Feng'er and Luan'er.

I went to Nanfang District and Nandaying again, waiting for all the flintlock rifles to be delivered, and then the troops were sent to Yanzhou.

Xie Lan returned to Jinling and returned soon after.

This time he brought good news.

Xie Duan accepted his request, and he also reciprocated his favor and sent gifts and notes.

Soon, Yan Wei sent a message when he sent a gift to Empress Xie and the deposed prince.

Queen Xie deliberately made a noise, and the whole of Jinling now knew that he was in good terms with the prince.

When Zhao Heng got the news from Liang Cheng, he was very happy after receiving his memorial to praise the deposed prince. He said, "It's still the King of Yan who understands the matter." Later, he asked Liang Cheng to read the memorial in the morning court.

After the third prince and the second prince were in glory, the power of the deposed prince suddenly rose.

Mi Yan even made a suggestion to let the deposed prince reenter the Eastern Palace.

Of course, this must have been secretly instructed by Zhao Heng.

He has always loved this eldest son very much.

Now, with the support of his ninth son, King Yan, his desire to restore Zhao Gang is even stronger.

However, the third prince and the second prince naturally disagreed.

Now the court is in a dispute over the foundation of the country again, and the quarrels are endless every day.

Zhao Xu has always been too lazy to care about these broken things in the court.

Maintaining the basic foundation of Yanzhou is the foundation of his life.

And ten days after the capital was caught in the dispute over the foundation of the country.

The vast Xie family fleet arrived at Pingcheng Wharf.

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Xu and Liu Fu immediately rushed to Pingcheng Wharf.

"Your Highness, it's great. Now Yanzhou will not worry about losing food." Liu Fu stroked the grain bags piled on the dock, as if he was stroking his own child.

Zhao Xu looked at the grain transport ship in the river that could not be seen at the end and smiled.

It has been another month since this has gone through.

There is less than a month left before he sent troops to Xiliang.

It can be said that the food from the Xie family is delivered in time now.

"Don't just be happy, check if there is any problem with the food." Zhao Xu said to Liu Fu.

The conscience of the Si Clan is like a Tengu who eats the moon, and there is no such thing.

He didn't want to mix sand, rotten rice and other things into these grains.

In his opinion, they can definitely do it.

When Liu Fu heard this, he suddenly turned cold. He called the official who came to inspect the grain to hold a grain ruler with a pointed head and a slightly concave inside, pointing to the grain bag in front of him and saying, "This."

Upon hearing this, the official stabbed the grain ruler into the bag, and the snow-white rice flowed out of it.

Liu Fu was slightly satisfied and walked to the next grain pile for inspection.

Zhao Xu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Lifu carrying rice bags on the dock, coming and going.

Even though the food bag is a cool job.

But after so much food comes, they can make a fortune.

Although the expression on his face was painful because of the difficulty, there was a smile in his eyes.

He was watching around.

At this time, a lever passed by him, suddenly threw down the food bag on his back, and forced him to do so.

"Shou!" Xu Lie reacted immediately. He pulled out his sword and blocked him sideways in front of Zhao Xu, and the sword in his hand was about to stab him.

The other guards also unsheathed their swords and rushed over.

"Your Highness, I am Mahan!"

The dark Lifu knelt down two meters away from Zhao Xu and said in a low voice.

Zhao Xu was stunned by these two words, and Xu Lie's sword stopped one centimeter of the man's neck.

"Raise your head." Zhao Xu was shocked when he heard this.

At this time, Lifu raised his face, and although his face was a little dark, he also lost weight.

But it was indeed Mahan.

Zhao Xu opened his mouth and did not come to his senses for a long time.

In the past two months, there has been no news about Mahan anywhere.

He thought Mahan would die.

But who would have thought that he would appear in Pingcheng.

"Why are you, Lifu, so careless, and you haven't sent the food?" Zhao Xu looked around and said loudly on purpose.

Ma Han understood, nodded repeatedly to apologize, and carried the rice bags and piled them aside.

At this time, Zhao Xu gave Xu Lie a look and asked him to stare at Ma Han and protect him secretly.

I returned to Pingcheng City by myself.

As night fell, Zhao Xu rested in the courtyard in Pingcheng City.

Xu Lie is back and takes Ma Han with him.

"Your Highness, save me!"

Seeing Zhao Xu, Ma Han knelt down again, his voice sad and crying.

Zhao Xu helped Ma Han up and said, "Why did you appear here? What's wrong with you father and son?"

"It's a long story. My father and I were harmed by a traitor, and the Ma family is afraid that there will be an insider." Ma Han slowly told the encounter that night.

"Your Highness, as Mr. Ma said, this man in black is obviously prepared and has been hiding in Qinzhou for a long time." Xu Lie said.

Zhao Xu nodded, "Your life is so great. You are caught in several arrows. If you fall into the Jin River, you can survive."

Ma Han sighed, "I can only say that God will not destroy my Ma family, and I will save my life to avenge my father!"

Speaking of this, Ma Han looked angry and then said that he was caught from the river by a fisherman, hiding his identity and raising him for a while, and was injured.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he nodded slightly.

Then Ma Han changed the subject, "But his father's great revenge was not avenged, and the Ma family was usurped by Ma Chong again. The revenge of killing his father was irreconcilable. He could not stop watching, so he came to Yanzhou to find His Highness."

When he mentioned his father, he shed tears again.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly. Now the matter between the Ma family is basically clear.

The Ma family affairs were indeed a conspiracy.

Then the matter in Jincheng is probably a part of the conspiracy.

Insidious enough!

After pondering for a while, he said to Ma Han: "I'm going to tell you that your cousin Ma Jin has come to find me and has also proposed a plan to fight against Jinzhou very well. When he leaves, he asks me to tell him your news."

After saying that, he seemed to be smiling.

Ma Han's expression changed slightly, and he looked Zhao Xu in the eyes, "Your Highness wants to hand me over to him?"

"Guess?" Zhao Xu smiled.

Ma Han hesitated for a moment and said, "I guess your highness won't, otherwise your highness would have asked me to come here to have a secret talk. Moreover, Ma Chong and the Dou family are not clear. Does Your Highness hope there is a Ma family controlled by the Dou family?"

After arriving for a while, he continued, "As long as your Highness is willing to help me, I will report to you with great retribution."

During his recovery period, he thought about it.

The only one who can help him today is King Yan.

Ma Chong is a puppet of the Dou family. He suspected that the assassination of the Dou family and other powerful clans this time would not be related to it, so he would definitely not help him.

But the King of Yan is different. He is not the same as the powerful clan.

If he promises profit, he may not agree.

After all, King Yan was in a difficult situation. He was in charge of the Ma family, and at least he would not harm him like the Yuan family.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he pondered for a while.

He distrusts Ma Chong, the new head of the Ma family, but he is not familiar with Ma Han.

But since the Dou family used Ma Chong to control the Ma family, it was necessary for him to hold Ma Han and let his conspiracy go bankrupt.

So he said, "Okay, let you guess correctly. I do not trust Ma Chong and Ma Jin."

Ma Han was happy, "Please help me, Ma Han is willing to agree to any conditions."
