Need for Uncle

Chapter 153

Chapter 150 Second Rescue Plan

"Then Xiaowan is a victim!?" Ma Xiaoshuai gritted his teeth and smashed the table. He understood the reason, but he couldn't accept the result.

"Do you think the emperor is like this?" Mum Xia sighed, "He is a father, and he is more reluctant than anyone else. There is no way."

"A father? Is there such a father as him?" Ma Xiaoshuai has always thought that he is a selfish person, and he has no sense of belonging to this Murong country, let alone patriotism. His relatives are important, and this selfishness is imposed on others by him, and he is very angry, very angry, with this stallion emperor who traded his daughter for a short period of time.

"Don't fart with me!" Xia MM changed her previous peaceful image, and suddenly became tough, blurting out obscenities like a street aunt, with an angry expression on her face, "Zhang Defu, I warn you, if this is the case, you will I'll give you a slap if you say it." Standing up abruptly, pointing at the stunned Ma Xiaoshuai, "Do you know how many times you can say that enough to kill you? Don't care about yourself or others?"

Ma Xiaoshuai was speechless, he lowered his head silently and secretly suffered. Although Ms. Xia's words were harsh, they were for the good of her family.

But Xia Mei didn't seem to be finished, "I know you love Xiaowan, but getting married is imperative, if you don't marry her, who will you marry?"

Ma Xiaoshuai raised his head violently, and shouted hysterically, "Why is Xiaowan, isn't there still Qingchu? Marry her!"

"You know Qingchu!?" Miss Xia was stunned for a moment, as if she felt that the expression was wrong, she regained her previous sturdy image, stood up abruptly, stepped in front of Ma Xiaoshuai, pointed at her nose like a machine gun, "Okay You Zhang Defu, you are really shameless, marrying your Xiaowan will not succeed, you can send it out if you don’t feel bad? Why are you so selfish?" He gritted his teeth angrily, "You continue to protect your shortcomings, I have no time to talk to you. You are making trouble, you are talking nonsense for a while, and I will be unlucky with you." Turning his head, he turned around and left, "You can just do it yourself, hmph!"

Silent, his mind went blank, the fact that Xiaowan was going to be married hit Ma Xiaoshuai hard, especially the feeling of being powerless to control, it was very painful.

"I'm leaving!" Miss Xia stared, blinking hurriedly as if she felt that she was losing her image, and walked out after saying something indiscriminately.

"Auntie, you don't dare to leave!" A Jiling rushed over and pulled Ms. Xia relentlessly, "I'm still counting on you to find a way."

"Let go! I'm your empress, I don't want to kill you?" Miss Xia was furious, "Being condescending to your empress is a serious crime, and I'll give you a break soon."

"I know you are the emperor's wife, but you are also my aunt." She blinked innocently, and said affectionately, "Are you aunt?"

Xia MM was stunned for a while, resisted the urge to vomit, and threw the salty pig's hand away, gritted her teeth, and sat back.

"I've told you all the news, why do you want me to stay?"

"I..." I don't know why to keep people here, mainly because there is no backbone for this matter now, and there is a lack of someone to talk about.

"Forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to be angry with you." Seeing Ma Xiaoshuai's appearance, Xia Mei couldn't bear it, she let go of her arrogant image just now, and sighed, "This is the way it is, there is no room for redemption, The emperor has no other choice, let alone me as a concubine." He glared at Ma Xiaoshuai, "Do you think the empress doesn't care about your daughter? You cried all night, what can you do? This is life."

Ma Xiaoshuai collapsed decadently, exhausted all his strength, looked at the ceiling and muttered, "Is there no other way?"

Xia MM couldn't bear to sigh, and said to Ma Xiaoshuai: "Do you like Xiaowan?"

Ma Xiaoshuai nodded with a wry smile, he didn't want to hide anything now, but to be honest, what's the use of liking?On the contrary, it is a kind of burden, he is obviously anxious, he doesn't want Xiaowan to leave him, and even more distressed that Xiaowan can't help being taken to a place where he is not familiar with him, but what can he, Ma Xiaoshuai, do?This feeling of powerlessness is what makes people painful and tormented. I can't help but think back to the scenes of getting along with Xiaowan. There are mixed feelings, and a deep pain surges into my heart, full of bitterness...

This expression fell into the eyes of Ms. Xia, who obviously couldn't bear it. She opened her mouth and sighed, "Defu, you, don't be too sad."

Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head in pain, "I'm not sad, I just hate, it's useless to hate myself, just watch Xiaowan suffer..."

Miss Xia didn't know how to comfort her, she was silent for a long time, she seemed to be moved by Ma Xiaoshuai's bitterness, she shook her head and sighed for a while.

The whole person slumped on the chair, didn't want to move, his mind was full of Xiao Wan, his eyes were slightly closed, and he said weakly: "Really, is there no way?"

Xia MM sighed, "Yes, but it's basically impossible."

Hearing this, Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly regained his energy, sat up straight, and said anxiously: "Auntie, what can I do?"

Xia MM smiled wryly and said: "The reason for the marriage is that the war is tight and there is pressure on the court. If, I mean, if, if the frontline soldiers suddenly improve in combat effectiveness, and the supply at the end of this autumn can survive, then the court will naturally not choose This kind of shameful way of getting married buys time." Sighing, "But it is almost impossible, in fact, no one wants the princess to get married, everyone understands the reason, but there is no way."

Ma Xiaoshuai frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up, "Auntie, tell me, how long will it be before Xiaowan gets married?"

Xia MM blinked, "There are still three or four months, it will be autumn, what's wrong?"

Ma Xiaoshuai suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said in a low voice: "If I can satisfy what you said before, can Xiaowan not marry?"

Xia MM stood up suddenly, and exclaimed: "Defu, what are you talking about? You...you really have a way?"

Ma Xiaoshuai gritted his teeth and made a decision in his mind, "You answer my question first."

Xia MM frowned, "I can't answer you, why don't you wait for my news first, and I'll find time to ask the emperor?"

Ma Xiaoshuai stretched out his hand, and said seriously: "Then aunt, hurry up and try to give me news tomorrow."

Xia MM curled her lips and stood up, "You have no conscience." Seeing that Ma Xiaoshuai was still virtuous, she said helplessly, "Let's go."

……

It's rewarding. Although MM Xia brought all the bad news, Ma Xiaoshuai still needs to thank her, because her words about the impossible possibility gave Ma Xiaoshuai a glimmer of hope. Turning the tide of the battle is now the key, and here It will involve the combat effectiveness of the army and the replenishment of insufficient grain and grass. Ma Xiaoshuai dare not be 100% sure that he can control the situation of the battle by himself, but there are ways to do it.

It's a coincidence that Ma Xiaoshuai can make up for the army's combat effectiveness and food and grass. In terms of the army's combat ability, although the personal quality has not changed much, the weapons can play a big role. There are high-quality steel It is no exaggeration to say that the weapons made are equivalent to half a life. As for food and grass, since the rice harvest is in short supply, some miscellaneous grains can be quickly planted and transported to the front line in autumn to cope with the past. The current time is Three to four months, if you devote yourself wholeheartedly, although it is more urgent, it can be done.

For Xiaowan, Ma Xiaoshuai thinks all these sacrifices are worthwhile, not to mention that he has the ability to do it, and all he needs is energy?

With hope, her mood improved a little, she had a meal with Xueyu, took a bath at night, and slept well.

Early the next morning, MM Xia brought good news, claiming that she had submitted this proposal to the emperor as an advisor to Ma Xiaoshuai's military department, and there had been a heated discussion in the court, because Ma Xiaoshuai's previous two weapons and the special department The admiration made the whole court pay attention to it, especially the military, which absolutely supported this consultant who hadn't moved at all recently, and those big men who were not ashamed to use the method of kinship in exchange for time With the full support of the officials, he suppressed some guys with ulterior motives. The stallion emperor Longyan Dayue thought that the marriage could be shelved for the time being, but the officials of the Manchu Dynasty should contribute, especially when the country was in crisis. He said a lot of encouraging words, The hall was full of applause, civil and military officials united as one, and the stallion emperor issued a series of characters one after another, including Ma Xiaoshuai.

"So as long as the war situation changes after the fall, Xiaowan doesn't need to get married?" Ma Xiaoshuai excitedly stood up from his chair with ecstasy.

"Well, it's like this." Miss Xia smiled, suddenly her face changed, and she took out a yellow paper from behind, "Zhang Defu listens to the order!"

"Sir, accept the order."

Ma Xiaoshuai swears that this is the first time someone has knelt down so quickly and happily, and he is not surprised to receive the order, because he knows that only when he is really appointed can he make a fist, get manpower and funds as soon as possible, and then get the fastest possible job. He rescued Xiao Wan, thinking about it like this, he didn't have time to think about what Ms. Xia said in the imperial decree. I didn't know until someone handed over the decree. Then, I didn't even look at it and put it on the desk. I suppressed the anxiety in my heart and nodded to Ms. Xia to express my gratitude , the latter walked away with a smile, and Ma Xiaoshuai's mood immediately improved, and he ate with Xueyu.

We invited Wang Jing, Chen Shimei, and of course Liu Zi, Yu Bo, etc. A dozen or so people gathered around a large table, because time is tight, and Ma Xiaoshuai doesn't have much time to get together with everyone, so I just said it symbolically After a toast, he said goodbye with a smile, claiming that he still had a lot of things to deal with, and everyone who had been let go, including Xueyu, felt relieved seeing Ma Xiaoshuai's appearance.

Entering the study, the door was locked.

Lying on the desk, he giggled for a while. There were many people outside, so I didn’t feel embarrassed to show it. Now that there is no one, it’s good to vent. I am very satisfied with the current situation that there is a way to save Xiaowan. I don’t blame anyone for this meeting. After the catastrophe, the rest of my life suddenly felt like the clouds cleared and the mist cleared. I was happy for a while and suddenly missed Xiaowan. I didn’t know how she was doing now. I sighed. In order to rescue Xiaowan as soon as possible, I told myself to race against time and take out the As a result, Xiaowan could see the sun again one day earlier.

Make a gesture of effort for yourself, grit your teeth, take out a pen and paper and start working. The plan for tonight is to, with the help of Tang Xiao's Baidu brother, list all the feasible methods that you can think of, including these Among them, the steelmaking method is the most important, the forging method and design drawings of some high-tech cold weapons, and of course the characteristics, growth conditions, and cultivation methods of some miscellaneous grains in agriculture.

Maybe it's because of being too anxious, a little too eager for success. Originally, these things need to be done step by step, but Ma Xiaoshuai just can't restrain the urgency in his heart, and at this moment, his body is giving him strength, and his thinking and physical strength seem to be weak. Affected by the mood, I was surprisingly full, and I didn’t know the slightest fatigue in the constant use of my brain and hands. I wrote one paper after another, until the whole desk and the surrounding ground were scattered with dense drawings, and I was still lying on the desk. Writing and drawing on it, unconsciously, one night passed...

The first crowing of the cock briefly awakened Ma Xiaoshuai who was immersed in it. After stretching his waist, he felt that he hadn't stayed up late because of work for a long time, and he felt good, and then he was dumbfounded by his seemingly masochistic thoughts. He drank his saliva and continued to fight. At this moment, he suddenly felt some signs of dizziness. Presumably, he was really tired. He shook his head, gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.

dong dong dong.

At dawn, Ma Xiaoshuai was still working crazily and had already achieved fruitful results, but suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Don't tell me, no one is allowed to come in?" He continued to write and draw without raising his head, and shouted in displeasure, but his voice was exhausted.

"Defu, it's me." An old but equally displeased voice came to his ears, Ma Xiaoshuai was taken aback, it was Dongfang Mu! ?
