Compared with your father-in-law's complacency, all the officials in the city were so anxious that they started to curse.

Of course it was Ma Delong's mother who was scolded.

That damn Ma Delong, isn't she just a princess? She will die if she sees her. She must hide, must hide. Now, okay, not only will he not be able to hide himself, but he will also implicate all of them. people.

Some of the people who can serve as officials in the province are clean. If public anger is aroused and the court really sends people to investigate, no one can escape unscathed.

Being clever but being misled by cleverness is what fools like Ma Delong are talking about!

"Let him go home to see Princess Jingnan."

"Tell him to go home quickly to see Princess Jingnan."

"Let him have a good talk with the princess and stop making useless things."

Several officials with higher official positions than Ma Delong sent their cronies to send a message to Ma Delong, asking him to go back to see Princess Jingnan. Even if he was going to die, he would have to wait until he met the princess before dying.

Ma Delong was angrier than anyone else, more depressed than anyone else, and more anxious than anyone else.

He didn't know what was going on. Why didn't it work for Princess Jingnan when he had clearly planned it?

That noble father-in-law, he was still counting on him to take the princess away, but why did he help Princess Jingnan to cause trouble for him?

Is this man mentally ill?

Ma Delong was furious. Seeing that your father-in-law was about to lead his men to find this place, he had no choice but to change into his servant's clothes, sneak out through the back door, and return to the General Military Mansion in a small sedan.

Mrs. Fang Weijia finally realized that she had gotten into a big trouble. When she saw her husband coming back in disgrace wearing a servant's clothes, she was so anxious that she burst into tears.

"Husband, what should we do? Our family will not fall into the hands of Princess Jingnan, right?"

Ma Delong usually dotes on her very much, because her natal family has a prominent family background and leaves everything to her in all matters, so she has a reputation of being henpecked.

But at this time, Ma Delong was really not in the mood to comfort her, and his tone of voice was also very angry: "What's the point of crying at this time? As long as you can listen to a word of my words, you won't be forced to This is the point.”

Fang Weijia was reprimanded by her husband for the first time, and she immediately cried aggrievedly: "You blame me, how can you blame me? You have no idea what kind of person Princess Jingnan is. If she is determined to find you, where can you hide? It’s no use.”

If this had been said the day before, Ma Delong wouldn't have believed it.

Now he couldn't help but not believe it.

"Okay, don't cry. Please help me change my clothes. I want to see if Princess Jingnan has three heads and six arms."

Fang Weijia put away her tears and waited for him to go into the inner room to change clothes, and then ordered the housekeeper to invite Princess Jingnan.

In the guest room, Aao was telling Chu Zhao vividly what happened outside.

Chu Zhao burst out laughing when he heard this, and praised his father-in-law continuously: "Not bad, not bad, your father-in-law is worthy of being an eunuch, and his methods are really sinister."

Aao: "..."

Is this really a compliment to your father-in-law? Why does it sound like a curse to him?

Chu Zhao added: "General Xiao and Yun Qi did a good job. I will reward them well later."

"What about me?" A'ao said, "My legs are almost thin, why won't the princess reward me?"

"What do you want?" Chu Zhao asked casually.

"Is anything okay?" Aao's eyes lit up.

Chu Zhao looked at him with a smile: "Why are you so excited? Are you asking the lion to open his mouth?"

"I..." A'ao looked at her, and just as he was about to express his request, Tie Zhui interrupted, "Do you want the princess to betroth me to you?"

"..."

Aao's face suddenly fell, and his whole body felt bad.

Chu Zhao couldn't help laughing, startling the housekeeper who happened to appear at the door.

Princess Jingnan almost tortured the commander-in-chief to death, but she was very happy!

"Princess, my master is back. Please come to the living room to meet me." The butler entered and bowed.

"Oh, are you back so soon?" Chu Zhao said, "What a pity, I plan to stay a few more days!"

housekeeper:"……"

Ha ha!

When they arrived at the drawing room, Ma Delong had already changed back into his official uniform and was waiting eagerly at the door.

When he saw Chu Zhao for the first time, Lord General Bing was stunned for a moment.

Rumor has it that Princess Jingnan somehow found some magic formula that transformed her from an ugly girl who was despised by everyone to a great beauty who captivated the country.

He didn't believe it at first, but now that he saw it, he felt that the rumors were too conservative. With such a handsome appearance, it would be no exaggeration to say that he was an immortal descended from heaven.

But then again, how could such a beautiful woman act so shamelessly, cunningly and cunningly?

Ma Delong stabilized his mind and stepped forward to greet Chu Zhao: "Your Majesty, Ma Delong, has met Princess Jingnan. Due to delays in business, he was unable to come back in time to greet the princess. I hope that the princess will be considerate."

"It's easy to say, Mr. Ma is loyal to his duties and dedicated to the public. How can I blame you." Chu Zhao smiled and looked at the majestic Commander-in-Chief, who was nearly forty years old.

Ma Delong laughed twice and invited her to come in and sit down.

The maid served the top-quality tea. Chu Zhao picked up the tea cup without drinking it and said in a calm tone: "The purpose of my visit this time has already been stated in my letter of visit. I have left hundreds of people to guard Yong County. City, I hope your Excellency can send manpower over as soon as possible to replace them, I wonder if you have any arrangements?"

"Yes, yes, the official has made arrangements. Even if the princess doesn't come, someone will have to come over tomorrow morning."

Ma Delong thought to himself, since he was so happy, the princess had nothing to say, right?

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhao said, "Since your Excellency has arranged manpower, it means that you already understand the situation there. Why can you still go to patrol other places like a normal person, but ignore Yong County?"

"This..." Ma Delong was suddenly speechless.

Chu Zhao did not give him time to defend himself, and then said: "Huguang is originally a prosperous land, a land of plenty, with no natural or man-made disasters, and no intrusion from foreign enemies. Why is it that such a place cannot even pay the army, so much so that the army is completely destroyed?" What about forcing a rebellion?"

"It's nothing." Ma Delong denied, "Princess, don't listen to the words of those rebel soldiers. Military pay has always been paid on time."

"In that case, why don't you send troops to quell the rebellion?" Chu Zhao put down the tea cup and suddenly changed his expression, "The rebels don't start rebellions in a day or two. They slaughter villages and cities when they encounter them. How can you officials... There was no news at all. On the day Yongcheng was trapped, the magistrate sent seven letters asking for help, but all of them fell into the sea. Hundreds of city guards died and only seven people were left. Tell me, what is the reason? What is the reason? You adults collectively pretended to be deaf and mute and became blind?"

Ma Delong was startled by her sudden burst of anger, and his face became a little ugly.

It is unreasonable to think that he is a majestic commander-in-chief, a feudal official, with 10,000+ soldiers and horses in his hand. He is a powerful man and everyone is in awe of him. Even when he comes to the capital, he doesn't need to look at anyone's face. Today, he was trained by a woman to become the third grandson. It is really unreasonable.

"Princess, why do you have to be aggressive? May I ask what position and identity you have in questioning a third-rank official of the imperial court? You are neither an official nor in power, so what qualifications do you have to interfere in our military affairs in Huguang?"

When he got angry, Chu Zhao stopped being angry. He laughed twice and said calmly: "Why, am I not qualified for my status as Princess Jingnan?"

Ma Delong sneered: "Don't mention you as a princess, even if King Jingnan himself comes, so what? You are just a king with a different surname, resting on the merits of your ancestors, and you are really treating yourself like an onion. .”

"Presumptuous!" Chu Zhao scolded him sternly, picked up the cup of undrinkable tea and threw it in his face.

Ma Delong was unprepared and was splashed all over his face. He was so hot that he jumped up and down. He said angrily: "Come here, put this woman in jail!"

The guards standing outside responded.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her: "My lord, please do not act out of emotion. No matter what happens, she is still a princess, and she was ordered to go to Beijing to treat the Queen Mother."

"Who said she is a princess? She is clearly a female assassin who broke into the General Military Mansion with the intention of assassinating her. Let me arrest her first!" Ma Delong said loudly.

The two guards stepped forward and controlled Chu Zhao's hands behind his back.

Chu Zhao did not panic, thinking in his heart, he hoped Qi Fengshan could seize this opportunity and send a message to Murong Xiao quickly.
