Become a feudal king from today

The light from the lantern made the Ma family's mansion as bright as day.

Ma Chong drank the glass of wine in his hand and said slowly: "My arrangement is not to welcome Ma Han back!"

"What!" The people sitting cross-legged in front of the low table looked shocked.

Ma Chong had long expected such a reaction from these clan elders.

Ma Jin looked at the clan elders and said nothing, just bowed his head and drank.

He raised his hand to signal the clan elders to calm down, and continued: "The Ma family's ancestral motto states that any member of the clan must not harm the interests of the Ma family, otherwise the entire clan will be punished."

With a sneer, he continued: "But since Ma Han is alive, not only did he not return to the Ma family, but he colluded with King Yan. How is this different from treason?"

"Well said." Ma Jin shouted loudly at this time.

Holding the wine glass, he stood up and said, "This King Yan is a prince and represents the royal family. He has always been incompatible with powerful clans like mine. Ma Han voted for King Yan. If this is not treason, what is it?"

After a pause, he said: "In comparison, Ma Chong basically cut off all contact with King Yan after inheriting the position of head of the family. This is in the interests of my Ma family."

"this……"

The clan elders immediately whispered, some nodded, others shook their heads.

Ma Yue squinted his eyes slightly. He always remembered the Ma family's ancestral precepts and never violated them for a moment.

However, what Ma Chong and Ma Jin said seems reasonable, but in fact it is extremely ridiculous.

He stood up and said solemnly: "That's nonsense. Although King Yan is from the royal family, the powerful families are showing favor to him one after another in order to buy artillery. For the sake of profit, they temporarily put aside their prejudices. This is really for the Ma family, not for the Ma family." Personal preference, disregarding the interests of the Ma family, blindly making enemies. Xiliang has surrendered to Beidi. Although the battle of Jinzhou was defeated, its power still exists. I want to ask, if the Ma family does not have artillery, how big will the Ma family be in Beidi and Xiliang in the future? Do you think you can defend Xiao Pass?"

"Yes, how can we reach Beidi and Xiliang without artillery?"

"It's hard to deal with Xiliang alone, but what to do with Beidi."

"It is said that the Han family and the Liang family have purchased artillery from King Yan a long time ago, but our Ma family has been silent for a long time. It really shouldn't be the case."

"..."

This news immediately caused the clan elders to explode.

If Beidi and Xiliang break Xiaoguan, the Ma family will cease to exist.

Ma Chong and Ma Jin's expressions changed.

Ma Jin said to Ma Yue: "Alarmist!"

"This is not dangerous sensationalism, but a fact." Ma Yue snorted, "When my brother was still alive, he decided to live in harmony with King Yan and jointly resist foreign enemies. This is the Ma family's interest."

When Ma Jin heard this, his expression changed several times, and he saw that other clan elders agreed with Ma Yue's words. He and Ma Chong looked at each other, and their faces suddenly distorted.

"Today, I said that we cannot welcome Ma Han back unless we welcome him back. From now on, Ma Chong and I are the only ones who have the final say in the Ma family. We don't need you bullshit people to keep talking." Ma Jin was furious, and then he He smashed the wine glass into pieces.

At this time, the soldiers hiding in the surrounding rooms rushed out one after another when they heard the sound of broken wine glasses.

They drew their swords and swarmed out, surrounding the clan elders.

Seeing the shining sword, Ma Yue's face suddenly turned pale.

The other clan elders were also frightened and panicked.

"Ma Jin, what do you want to do? You are a traitor to the clan."

A grumpy clan elder stood up and pointed at Ma Jin.

Ma Jin looked cold and gave the general in charge a look.

The general immediately stepped forward and pierced the clan elder with a "click" sound.

When other tribesmen saw that they were killing people, several people suddenly slumped on their chairs.

The Ma family is going to be in chaos.

Ma Yue's heart sank, and he now regretted not listening to the regulations.

Unexpectedly, Ma Jin and Ma Chong would be so heartbroken.

This is simply ruining the Ma family's foundation.

"Get Ma Yue for me." After shocking the other clan elders, Ma Jin looked at Ma Yue.

In the Ma family, apart from him, only Ma Yue could compete with him.

Now, of course, he couldn't let Ma Yue live.

"Ma Jin, you will die badly." Ma Yue said word by word.

Despite his precautions, the guards who came with him all had short swords hidden on their bodies.

But there were many Ma Jin soldiers in the yard, and he thought that he might not be able to escape.

It's just that he knew he would die, and he was not someone waiting to be killed.

Lifting up the hem of his gown, he pulled out the dagger from the scabbard on his legs and pointed it at Ma Jin.

Upon seeing this, Ma Jin just smiled disdainfully and nodded to the general.

At this time, the soldiers rushed towards the clan elders at the banquet. Their swords were flying, and each of the Ma clan clan elders screamed and fell into a pool of blood.

The soldiers also pounced on Ma Yue.

The guards who followed Ma Yue drew out their daggers at the same time, protected Ma Yue behind them, and fought with Ma Jin's soldiers.

It's just that although they were all very skilled, they still couldn't hold off Ma Jin's many soldiers. As they were fighting outside the gate, people kept getting killed.

After moving no less than thirty meters, only three of the twelve guards were left.

At this time, all the soldiers who had killed all the elders of the other tribes surrounded Ma Yue and trapped him in the center.

Ma Yue knew he would die and closed his eyes.

But at this moment, suddenly there was only a "boom" sound.

The door to Ma's mansion was suddenly knocked open.

Dian Zhang, holding two axes and wearing armor, rushed in like a god of death.

Behind him were dozens of soldiers.

Although Ma Yue dismissed his speculation, he was heartbroken.

After all, Ma Yue saved his life.

And if something happens to Ma Yue, no one in the Ma family will be able to restrain Ma Jin.

But even so, he could only worry in the military camp.

After all, rashly leading troops there is like rebellion.

But at this moment, a soldier suddenly brought him a note.

There was a flame mark on the note, revealing that Ma Jin sent soldiers to sneak into the mansion through the back door to ambush.

After reading the note, he immediately came with his own soldiers.

Unexpectedly, I heard the sound of fighting as soon as I arrived at the door.

He immediately led his troops to kill the soldiers guarding the door and rushed in.

"Kill!" Dianzhang is also a first-class warrior among the Ma family army.

Carrying a heavy ax, he opened and closed, and immediately dispersed a group of soldiers surrounding Ma Yue.

He grabbed Ma Yue and said, "Sir, come with me quickly."

After that, he left the soldiers behind, dragged Ma Yue and headed out the door.

Ma Jin's expression changed in shock at the sudden turn of events.

But seeing that Dianzhang only had dozens of people, he immediately shouted: "Ma Chang, lead your troops to chase me."

The general known as Ma Chang immediately led his troops and rushed out.

But at this time, Dian Zhang had already put Ma Yue on his horse and headed towards the city gate together.

Ma Chang dispatched cavalry to chase, and at the same time sent people to reply to Ma Jin.

"Uncle, what should we do? If Ma Yue returns to Sizhou, he will definitely welcome Ma Han back and lead troops to attack us." Ma Chong said anxiously.

Ma Jin gritted his teeth and said: "Now we have no way to go back. We immediately declare Ma Han and Ma Yue to be traitors of the Ma family. Anyone who helps Ma Han and Ma Yue will be regarded as the same enemy by our Ma family."
