Seeing Ma Master’s expression so serious when he spoke, Li Xiu couldn’t help but be surprised. The two of them came to a secluded place outside the military camp and then asked: “What’s so serious? I need to be mentally prepared?”

Mr. Ma turned his head and looked around. After confirming that there was no one, he whispered: "Along the way, I sent the King of Qi and the others to Dengzhou, and I couldn't help but contact them. Although Prince Anlu is young, he can see the current situation clearly. Although he has resentment towards the King of Qin, he has no other thoughts."

When he said this, Ma Master paused again, turned his head and looked around and continued: "But in comparison, the King of Qi was not at all. When the injury was better, he clamored to go back to avenge the prince. In the end, I was suppressed by me to dispel this idea. However, when he got along with Prince Anlu and other children, he stopped educating them all the time, so that they had the ability in the future and must fight back to the Central Plains to avenge their father and uncle!"

When Ma Ye spoke at the end, a worried expression appeared on his face, and Li Xiu was silent after hearing this. He knew what Ma Ye meant. He and Princess Pingyang protected Li Chengdao and others from death before. If they really returned to the Central Plains to take revenge in the future, Li Shimin might be angry with them.

Li Xiu pondered for a while, and finally spoke: "The King of Qi is arrogant and impulsive, and has never suffered such a big setback. In addition, he has a deep relationship with the prince, so it is normal to want to come back and take revenge. However, although Chengdao is young, he is very steady, and there are only a thousand people in their hands. How can he come back and compete with the King of Qin? So I believe Chengdao should not be so impulsive and confused!"

"That's right, Prince Anlu is indeed terrible, but people will always change, and from then on, you will never see him again. Instead, King Qi will live with him day and night. Under the influence of King Qi, Prince Anlu may be moved by him, let alone the revenge of killing his father is irreconcilable. What if he grows up and returns to the Central Plains, what should you choose?"

Ma Ye didn't say anything more in the end. Li Shimin's anger was second. The key was how Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang should choose? They would definitely not help Li Shimin deal with Li Chengdao, but they would not help Li Chengdao deal with Li Shimin. They would still be caught in the middle and make things difficult for both ends. This is what Ma Ye was most worried about.

Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. He knew that Ma Ye's worries were very reasonable. After all, human beings were very complex animals, and no one could guarantee whether Li Chengdao would change in the future. What's more, he was at the age of a person's outlook on life and values ​​were about to take shape, but suddenly suffered such a big human tragedy. At a young age, he had to escape to a barbaric land thousands of miles away to survive. This would have a huge impact on a person's nature.

"Uncle Ma, I know this, but since I and the princess left behind Chengdao and they had to bear the corresponding consequences. And although your worries are possible, they may not necessarily happen, so we don't have to worry too much!" Li Xiu was silent for a moment, and finally said with a free and easy smile.

Since things have reached this point, he cannot tolerate any regrets anymore, let alone Li Chengdao and the others are still early before they can become adults, so he still has enough time to make some preparations for dealing with them. At least he can't do anything like the Xuanwu Gate that time, so that everyone around him will follow him to take risks.

After hearing Li Xiu's words, Ma Ye didn't say anything. The two returned to the military camp to greet the generals of Qiu Shili and other women's army. Princess Pingyang also sat here for a while, but she was inconvenient and could not drink. So Li Xiu broke his rules again and drank a few drinks with Ma Ye and others.

But Li Xiu soon regretted it. If he didn't insist on not drinking, there would be nothing. But when he saw that he was drinking, Qiu Shili and other veterans immediately joined forces to make him drink. Especially after knowing that Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang had been married, they forced him to drink. As a result, Li Xiu was finally drunk and ran out to vomit halfway through the drink. Then he felt a little better. Then he was carried back by Princess Pingyang, and he also complained that he couldn't drink it, so he didn't want to drink it.

When he woke up the next day, Ma Ye had already arranged the affairs in the military camp, and there was Qiu Shili, Xiang Shanzhi and others in the army, so he didn't have to worry about him. In addition, he really missed He'er, so he ran back alone. He was so close to He'er that he was so close to him. He also gave him special gifts he bought on the way to He'er, Qi Niang and others, which made the little girls scream at Uncle Ma, and Ma Ye laughed happily.

"Uncle Ma, you have to make the decision for me!" At this moment, Qi Niang suddenly pouted and shouted with dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong? Who dares to bully our Qi Niang? Uncle Ma will help you teach him a lesson!" When Ma Master heard Qi Niang's words, he immediately said with a stern face. Although Qi Niang is not his niece like Hen'er, it's almost the same.

"It's my brother. He has been promised me for a long time, but he has never done it!" Qi Niang glared at Li Xiu at this time.

Seeing Qi Niang's appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He naturally knew what Qi Niang was talking about, so he had to explain helplessly: "Qi Niang, haven't I already said that? I have asked someone to do that, but I can't find a suitable candidate for the time being. In addition, I've been busy these days, so I have been delayed for a few days."

"What the hell is it?" Uncle Ma asked in confusion when he heard this.

"Qianniang wants to learn to design a ship, but I really don't understand this, so I want to ask a master in this field to teach her, but I just can't find the right person for a while." Li Xiu explained helplessly.

He mentioned this matter before. Although the old man didn't understand why Li Xiu's sister was interested in shipbuilding, he was still very enthusiastic and asked to help Li Xiu find a suitable person. Li Xiu has been busy with the help of Ma Ye and the others these days, so he didn't have time to ask, and he didn't know how Yang Nong was doing.

"This is a trivial matter. Your brother has not been available these days, but now Uncle Ma is back, and this matter is covered by Uncle Ma!" Ma also knew that Li Xiu must have been very busy before, so he didn't say anything. Instead, he patted his chest and assured Qi Niang that Qi Niang had much trust in Ma. He thanked Ma sweetly, and then ran to play with Hen'er to play with the new toy Ma gave them.

After seeing Qi Niang and the others leave, Ma Ye turned around and said to Li Xiu, "What's wrong with you? Qi Niang can't help him with such a small request?"

"I've asked someone to do it, but I just don't have time to ask these days." Li Xiu explained helplessly again.

"Who did you ask?" Mr. Ma asked again, with a little suspicious face.

"Yang Nong Yang Shangshu, I just mentioned it casually, but the old man took over this matter, and I couldn't refuse!"

"I'm confused, Yang Nong belongs to the Ministry of Revenue. Shipbuilding is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works. You gave a favor like that big as a warrior before, so when do you don't need it now?" Ma Ye glared at Li Xiu's answer.

"This..." Li Xiu secretly called unjust when he heard this. In fact, he originally wanted to find a warrior, but Yang Nong took the initiative to take over the matter, and he was not able to refuse. If he went to find someone else at this time, it would be a bit embarrassing to let Yang Nong know. After all, this was obviously doubting his ability.

Ma Ye also knew why Li Xiu was in a dilemma. He thought for a while and said, "So, since you have already entrusted the matter to Yang Nong, then I will ask in the past two days. I will also go to the Samurai Ting to see if he has a suitable candidate. If Yang Nong can find someone, we can also compare it. If you can't find someone, then just use Samurai Ting to find someone!"

"Okay, everything is up to your arrangements for Uncle Ma!" Li Xiu nodded immediately when he heard this, but then he thought of something again, so he said uneasy again, "Uncle Ma, I heard that the life of Warriors is not very easy now. Is it a bit bad for us to bother him now?"

The Warrior is different from others. He has no background from aristocratic families and has not made any outstanding contributions in the Tang Dynasty. His only reliance is his personal friendship with Li Yuan, and he is also extremely loyal to Li Yuan. He can be said to be Li Yuan's confidant. However, now that Li Yuan is under house arrest, Li Shimin naturally wants to promote his own people. Even people like Pei Ji have to give way to Changsun Wuji in the future, so the Warrior's life is probably very difficult now.

"Look, you are so soft-hearted. It is precisely because the warrior will definitely be squeezed down in the future. Now, we have to ask him for help when he is still the Minister of Works and can help us a little. Do you plan to go and ask him to pay the debt of favor when he is demoted to another place in the future?" Mr. Ma first gave Li Xiu a blank look, and then said with confidence.

"This..." Li Xiu couldn't help but be impressed by Ma Ye's meticulous logic when he heard this. Aside from emotional factors, this was indeed the most reasonable choice, not to mention that he did not have much friendship with the warrior, so people could not find any excuses to refute.

"Okay, this matter has been decided like this. Anyway, this is just a matter that cannot be even smaller. It is enough to make the warrior repay the favor you helped him last time. It's better to say it's cheap!" Ma Ye said again, and Li Xiu had to nod and agree.

After talking about this private matter, Ma Ye talked to Li Xiu about his experiences on the road. Finally, he suddenly sighed and said with a heavy expression: "According to the original agreement, the Women's Army will definitely be incorporated when they come back. However, I have asked the brothers in the army that a considerable number of old brothers are tired of life in the army and want to retire and live the life of ordinary people. However, the court has no money now, it is difficult to resettle them. We must not ignore this, but how to resettle so many people is also a big problem!" (To be continued.)
