Chapter 538 He Can't Hesitate Anymore

"Get out of the way!" Xie Yuan shouted coldly.

Ma Guogong was so anxious that he was about to cry, he waved his hands and asked:

"What on earth do you want to do?! If you are not willing to take revenge, the old man ordered you to take it. Don't embarrass me!"

Seeing him stubbornly refusing to give way, Xie Yuan said:

"Revenge? I'm just rectifying the law of the country and seeking justice for those soldiers who died! The letter your son wrote to the commander of Fengji's camp is evidence. He should be locked in a prison at this time, not here.

Ma Guogong, your son is a son, isn't someone else's son a son? !If you get out of the way, your son will go to jail and wait for the judgment of the Tingwei Department. If you insist on not letting go, I will kill him now! "

As Xie Yuan said, the arm holding the sword moved.

The movement of her attack was so clean and neat, Ma Guogong knew it very well.

So even if Xie Yuan raised his arm very slightly, he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat, his heart almost stopped, and he cried out quickly:
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

……

Sun Tian and the others were waiting outside, only to hear shouts and noises inside, and people inside shouted to them in fear through the gate:

"This is Duke Ma's residence! The mother's family of the empress! You...are so audacious that you dare to disrespect the Duke?!... Why don't you take advantage of the darkness and retreat quickly!"

Sun Tian and the others didn't see Xie Yuan coming out for a long time, and they were somewhat confused. At this time, a companion asked:

"Shall we attack in?"

Sun Tian hesitated for a moment. He had been with Xie Yuan for a long time, and he was also the one who knew her best among these soldiers. After thinking about it, he said:

"The general ordered me to wait here. She has her own intention to go in alone. If she wants to attack directly, she has already ordered a strong attack. Why bother, just wait."

As soon as the words fell, a group of imperial guards patrolling at night rushed over from a distance not far away. The leader saw them fighting like this and asked loudly:

"Who are you from? Is there an imperial edict to besiege the Duke's mansion in the middle of the night?!"

Sun Tian and the others had been prepared for a long time, and immediately formed a defensive and preparation formation, and said angrily:

"Blind your dog eyes! Can't you see the Jiezi banner of the Hussar General?!"

The imperial guards were stunned. They all heard that Xie Yuan had killed the princess. Why did they show up in front of Duke Ma with soldiers while they were in the prison of the Supervision Department?
The patrol captain walked around the crowd, but he didn't see Xie Yuan's figure, so he asked:

"General Xie?! Where is General Xie?! Could it be that you are secretly entangled in plotting against us?!...Come here, shoot your arrows for help!"

As soon as the words fell, a man's bow and arrow in the darkness had already pointed towards the sky, and a sharp whistle pierced the sky in an instant.

At the same time, the gate of Duke Ma's mansion also opened.

Xie Yuan took Ma Shuo and came out, followed by Ma Guogong and the crowd, and there were some voices of female relatives crying and shouting.

Seeing this situation, the guards on patrol didn't understand anything, so they were about to attack immediately.

Ma Guogong quickly stopped them and shouted:

"Don't move! Don't move! My son Ma Shuo is still in Xie Yuan's hands!"

The patrol captain was extremely shocked... Although they all knew that the two forces in the DPRK and China were fighting openly and secretly, but seeing such a battle with their own eyes, they couldn't help their hearts beating like drums.

It's clear what Xie Yuan's behavior means.

The lives of these people will also be affected by the competition between the two forces.Maybe in today's chaos, they might all die here.

When the sun rises tomorrow, the sky of the Great Song Dynasty will change!
Seeing that Xie Yuan came out unscathed and dragging Ma Shuo, Sun Tian and the others immediately took the rope and tied Ma Shuo's hands and heels without saying a word.

And at this time, a large number of imperial guards had already gathered here, completely surrounding Xie Yuan and the others.

Ma Guogong gained confidence and said:

"Jie Yuan... Surrender, you can't run away. If you can release my son, I can plead with His Majesty and spare your life."

Xie Yuan was unmoved when he heard that, and said with a sneer:
"Why should I run? I won't run. You can let them do it, but before that, your son will die, and you will die too. You can figure it out."

Ma Guogong was trembling with anger, and shouted angrily:
"Jie Yuan! You are treasonous and rebellious. This is the crime of punishing the nine clans!"

Xie Yuan got on his horse and raised his voice and said:

"Ma Guogong, the surname of Liu in the Song Dynasty is not Ma!!... I am the general of Hussars ordered by the first emperor and His Majesty, the commander-in-chief of the three armies. You know it in your own hearts! You are limited to take the initiative to go to the Tingwei Office to confess your crimes, and pray that His Majesty will give you a lighter punishment!"

Xie Yuan's voice was high-pitched and cadenced, and it was heard in everyone's ears, with a deafening feeling.

As she spoke, her voice suddenly softened and turned to a dark menacing tone, and said:
"...Of course, if you want to fight to the death, Xie will accompany you to the end with the city defense battalion!"

……

……

Supervision Division.

Eunuch He went into the palace, and Zhang Qingshou waited in the yamen for a long time, but Xie Yuan didn't come back.

He frowned, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to send someone to investigate the General's Mansion, an eyeliner came back from the outside and said in a hurry that he saw Xie Yuan, who was supposed to be in the prison, took to the street with his own soldiers and went up to Duke Ma's mansion.

When Zhang Qing heard about it, his three souls flew away, and his heart couldn't stop beating.

What should he do? General Xie, whom he admires and admires, is really going to defy the imperial decree and rebel!Would it be possible for him to join hands with Ma Guogong, whom he hates and shameless, to capture Xie Yuan and arrest him for Fa-rectification?

He wandered back and forth in the room anxiously, folded his arms and thought hard, but the instructions he spoke still didn't make sense:

"Hurry up... Go and inform He... No, don't, this is not important. Go first... Oh... What can I do!"

The person waiting to deliver the order asked:
"My lord, do you want to go to the gate of the city first, inform them of the change, and let them guard the gate to prevent the city defense battalion from entering?"

Zhang Qing just wanted to go back and say, you actually have the same heart with the Ma family?

But when he turned his face and saw the sincerity of his subordinates, who didn't know anything, but simply gave him advice, he immediately choked back and said patiently:
"You don't need to run over to notify, the guards patrolling in this city are all members of the Ma family, they will notify the gate of the city. Let me think about it..."

think about who to help...

Zhang Qing's face is very serious, because how to choose now is directly related to his fate, his wealth and life.

He thought about the etiquette, the imperial decree, and the loyalty of a courtier. He should arrest Xie Yuan and even execute him on the spot.

But when he thought that Xie Yuan would die and Ma Guogong and others would win, his heart felt as if he had been punched, and he was filled with resentment.

The little emperor is ignorant and incompetent, if he follows his will, the true loyal ministers will die without a place to die, and those treacherous people will become teachers of justice, riches and honors will never end.How can there be any reason in this way? !

At this moment, a sharp and piercing whistle came from a distance. It was the sound of the imperial guard's distress arrow.

Zhang Qing looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes flickered violently...he couldn't hesitate any longer.
