Chapter 230 Seven Decisions
"Uh, that's not the point." Ma Xiaoshuai said in a cold sweat, "In short, what I mean is that many things need time to develop."

"This is yours. We don't understand and can't control it." The queen said again: "With you and your hundreds of top students, I don't think there is anything you can't do. Fly with the help of the wind." After a pause, he continued: "I need a promise from you now, promise to devote all your efforts to make Murong Kingdom take off completely within one year. If you don't promise, Xiaowan and Qingchu don't think about it."

"After talking for so long, you still take this as an exchange." Ma Xiaoshuai was faintly angry, lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "What if I don't agree?"

"Disagree?" The queen was taken aback, "What do you disagree with? This is a great thing for anyone, right?"

"Good thing?" Ma Xiaoshuai sneered, "The result is good, but the process is..."

"What do you mean?" The queen said in a low voice with a gloomy face, "I don't think it will do you any harm, just be more diligent. You can get two princesses. Could it be that you can't do it consecutively?" The queen at that time was very puzzled and puzzled.He only confessed those conditions because it was not difficult for Ma Xiaoshuai, and he knew that he would definitely agree.But the other party's current attitude made him confused.

"I have made it very clear that many things cannot be realized in the short term. What we need now is to use time to improve our technology in all aspects. Many things in this cannot be accomplished by my own ideas. So You said that it would be impossible for me to come up with so many things within a year." Speaking of this, he raised his head and sighed: "It's not that I'm lazy, but that the students need time to grow and mature. On this point, we The same is true for the academy, which can only be completed if the comprehensive ability reaches the standard, and you don’t believe me that there is nothing you can do about it.”

"I still don't believe it." The queen seemed to recognize Ma Xiaoshuai's words as an excuse, and was even more displeased, "Do you agree or not?"

"You don't believe me, there's nothing you can do." Ma Xiaoshuai spread his hands, "I don't have the ability, how can you ask me to agree?"

"Hmph." The queen snorted heavily, and said, "If you disagree, then you will never see Qingchu and Xiaowan in your life."

"What can I do if you do this?" Ma Xiaoshuai's heart sank, and he said with a gloomy face, "But let me tell you, it's best not to threaten me."

"Bold!" The Queen was furious, pointing at Ma Xiaoshuai and said, "You want to leave like last time again? How many more days will you go to the countryside?"

"I didn't say that."

"You!" The queen was in a hurry, gasping for breath.After finally calming down, the gloom on his face did not fade in the slightest.He seemed to be a little apprehensive about the possibility of Ma Xiaoshuai escaping, and said, "Whether you agree or not, Xiaowan and Qingchu will come through your door next month, so you can't help but not want to." After saying this, she became angry , looked at Ma Xiaoshuai coldly and said: "I advise you not to think more about the family members of the Xiangguo Mansion like last time."

"What do you mean?" Ma Xiaoshuai turned around in rage, his facial features continuously twisted.

"You know what I mean." The queen sneered, "You can escape, but what about old Xiangguo and your wives?"

"Okay, I agree." Ma Xiaoshuai's face was cloudy and uncertain, and finally he sat down dejectedly, "I can only say that I will do my best."

"That's right." The queen stood up, with another warm smile on her face, "I'm good to everyone, and I don't want to turn against you."

"Can I ask you a question?" Ma Xiaoshuai asked weakly with his eyes closed.

"Go ahead."

"What will you do to me if I fail to do what you want?"

"Don't think about it yet, just do it well." The queen was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't answer clearly.Just got up and walked out.

"I have another question." Seeing the figure walking out, Ma Xiaoshuai smiled wryly, "Are you willing to trade your own woman?"

"Will it?" The Queen's figure froze abruptly, and after a slight pause, she walked out again, "At the beginning, my parents were both willing."

"Then if I were a bad person, or even a scumbag, Xiaowan and Qingchu couldn't possibly like me, would you offer me this exchange?"

"meeting……"

Looking at the lonely back, Ma Xiaoshuai laughed three times, and sat down on the chair decadently.

After all, he still couldn't escape. Although he had been trying to avoid being involved in the court all this year, he still couldn't help himself in the end.Thinking about it carefully, even the empress has her own difficulties, how can I avoid it, doing whatever I want for the rest of my life, and an unfettered life is obviously impossible for my current status.And it is obvious that once I take the princess and agree to the conditions of the queen, I will no longer be able to live with this idle job in the future. easy.

That would be a day of trembling and trembling all day long, and these were obviously not what Ma Xiaoshuai wanted.

"Teacher..." When she opened her eyes, Xiaowan and Qingchu were standing in front of her.It seemed that seeing Ma Xiaoshuai's worry, they all looked worried.

"I'm fine, you all go down to work." Ma Xiaoshuai lovingly patted the heads of the two girls.They are also victims of politics, and they are exchanged as goods by their father and queen. If the other party is not themselves, the life waiting for them will be unhappy.The ridiculous thing is that although Xiao Wan and Qing Chu have long been secretly in love, or the two parties are in love with each other, they are regarded as preparations for threats...

After Xiaowan and Qingchu left, Ma Xiaoshuai sat on a chair and fell into deep thought, struggling for the first time in a year of peaceful life.

Although he had agreed to the queen's request, it was forced after all.That kind of life of being manipulated is not what he wants, even if he does his best for Murongguo for Xiaowan and Qingchu, it is not as easy as it used to be.And although he was very dissatisfied with using Xiaowan as a bargaining chip in exchange, what matters to Kegeng is the impact of agreeing to that condition on him.Just as Ma Xiaoshuai thought, this condition is like a ticking time bomb. Once provoked, it may threaten the safety of himself and even his family at any time. At that time, he cannot stop it.Because once personal ability is linked to politics, including the entire country, then you will not be yourself, freedom can only become a joke, and everyone around you may be affected at any time.

He didn't want his family members to be hurt, and he didn't want them to live in a life that was glamorous but in fact every step of the way...

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoshuai finally made a decision.

Although a bit irresponsible, at least it can keep the safety of the family.Calculating the time, there is still one month enough to prepare for myself.

That night, after returning home, Ma Xiaoshuai didn't tell his family about today's events. He still looked like the Gu family, playing mahjong with the three wives, and stroking the happy-faced Wang Jing and Xueyu's stomachs that were getting more and more violent. There was no flaw at all. .As for Dongfang Mu, he also talked about the limelight on the sidelines, and the old man didn't seem to have heard anything about it.It seems that the queen and the emperor have not announced this important event yet.

In order to reassure the queen, Ma Xiaoshuai changed his usual laziness the next day, and for the first time went to the two academies to work diligently.

The work in the engineering institute is progressing smoothly.Because the previous technology was in place, the research work was temporarily stagnant, and it was mainly put into production at this time.During this period of time, the military factories in the suburbs added mass production of grenades and rockets, and strived to drive out a batch of them to the front line in the next few days to support the war.Accompanied by Duan Chengzhi, Ma Xiaoshuai looked around, then found the person in charge of the factory, and asked many specific production issues in detail.

"How many finished products are there?" The three sat down, and Ma Xiaoshuai asked first.

"Three thousand grenades and fifty rockets." The person in charge smiled heartily and reported proudly.

"Well, when will this batch end?"

"Tomorrow." Speaking of which, the person in charge looked around and said, "Tomorrow someone will come to pick it up and escort it to the front line."

"Okay." Ma Xiaoshuai raised his eyebrows indiscriminately, stood up immediately and said: "Then you are busy, I will discuss it with the prince."

"Head." After Ma Xiaoshuai left, the person in charge grabbed Duan Chengzhi and said in a low voice, "This is our dean?"

"Yes." Duan Chengzhi looked at Ma Xiaoshuai who walked out with a strange expression and wondered, "Why do I feel a little different?"

"I've heard about the dean before, but I finally saw it today." The person in charge was a little excited, "Sure enough, it's exactly what I thought, and I've done my duty."

"Ah!" Duan Chengzhi suddenly yelled, and said with joy, "I finally know what's different."

"What?" The person in charge was taken aback, and said blankly, "What's different?"

"The dean has become more diligent!!!"

Indeed, throughout the whole day, the students had the same discovery, that is, the dean suddenly became diligent.

Although there is some doubt about the sudden change, the students are all happy from the bottom of their hearts.Because to them, although the dean is lazy, once he devotes himself to work, he must be extraordinary.Their gut tells them that more projects, more success, and of course more accolades are coming.This is a great joy for everyone including Duan Chengzhi, how can they be unhappy?
Of course, apart from the students, there are many people who find Ma Xiaoshuai abnormal, such as Murong Junhua who has a strange face at this time.

"What's the matter with you?"

"What's going on?" Ma Xiaoshuai was taken aback, stopped holding the tea hand next to his mouth, blinked and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's not like!" Murong Junhua pouted his chin and pondered for a while, and said, "It's too unlike, are you Zhang Defu?"

"Yeah?" Ma Xiaoshuai was stunned for a long time, then suddenly said: "You mean I'm different from usual?"

"Well, it's very different." Murong Junhua said with a smile: "At least, the former you would not discuss with me about those trivial matters."

"The matter of the grenade and gunpowder is not a trivial matter." Unexpectedly, the disguise was a bit too much, and it was discovered immediately.But this can also explain a problem from the side, as if I was really bad before.Suddenly he became diligent and no one knew him anymore. Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoshuai gave a wry smile and explained, "Although I'm a little lazy at ordinary times, I should care about what I should care about. After all, these things are too important, aren't they?"

"That's true." Murong Junhua nodded, "But I remember everything you said, and I will pay attention."

"Then you repeat it?"

"..."

"Just in case."

"Okay, okay." Murong Junhua gave a wry smile, and said, "Don't be bumpy during transportation, and don't get close to fire. Be careful when loading and unloading."

"There's one more." Ma Xiaoshuai reminded: "Single package, don't pack it randomly. You know this thing is very dangerous."

"I know, I know."

"Am I being too wordy?"

"indeed!"
