Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 502 Strategic Cooperation

"My Ma family is not willing to join them." Ma Han gritted his teeth, "What's more, the Dou family is the murderer of my father." "

When Ma Jin defected to Xiliang, he told the world that Dou Wei had colluded with him to murder his father and son.

Although Dou Wei refused to admit it, he had already determined in his heart that Dou Wei was the murderer.

Originally, he expected Emperor Zhao Heng to bring him justice.

But in the end, the court dismissed the matter easily as Ma Jin's words were not credible.

The hatred in his heart was overwhelming, but he could only endure it.

The Ma family is no longer the Ma family before, and they no longer have the influence of three earthquakes in the northwest.

What's more, Qinzhou and Yongzhou are the Ma family's foundations, and he hopes that the court can help the Ma family regain them.

But this time, he was disappointed again.

Zhao Heng completely assigned these two states to Beidi.

That night, he was drunk late at night and cried bitterly. His father was so depressed that he could not rest in peace.

He wanted to lead the Ma family's troops and go out to fight regardless of the court's peace talks.

But he knew that his few troops were vulnerable to Beidi.

The last breath of the Ma family will also be ruined by him.

Now, King Yan revealed to him the banquet of the seven powerful families and completely alienated his Ma family.

His Ma family can no longer defend even the last honor of the powerful clan.

The most important thing is, as King Yan said, as a powerful person, he naturally knows what Dou Wei wants to do.

The Ma family once dominated the Three Prefectures, and also had access to Jinzhou, and even extended tentacles to Yanzhou. This was all to expand the Ma family's sphere of influence.

He knew very well that the Dasong Royal Family could no longer suppress the powerful clans.

The result of being unable to suppress it was a melee between the powerful clan and the royal family. In the smoke of gunpowder, the most powerful clan was born, ascended to the throne of God, and established a new dynasty.

His father had told him this several times when he was here.

It can be said that this matter is the acquiescence of the powerful people.

The eight powerful families are also preparing for the arrival of troubled times.

However, now that all this is really coming, the Ma family has lost in advance.

Given the relationship between the Ma family and the Dou family, once the powerful family wins, I'm afraid the Ma family will end up miserable.

"Then are you willing to collude with me?" Zhao Xu deliberately said the word "complicit" in a very strong way.

He had been observing Mahan's expression.

In just a short period of time, there were several mood swings in Ma Han's eyes, and it was obvious that there was intense mental activity.

"Your Highness wants to..." Ma Han was stunned immediately. Although King Yan's words were self-deprecating, the meaning was already very clear.

Then he reacted, "How can we call it accomplices with His Highness? It should be called like-minded."

"Hahaha... Such a like-minded person, yes, that's what I mean." Zhao Xu stared into Ma Han's eyes.

Ma Han's heart trembled again when Zhao Xu stared at him.

For a moment, his mind was spinning.

The powerful clan headed by Dou Wei will definitely not accept the Ma family.

If troubled times really come in the future, how will the weak Ma family survive?

There seems to be no better way than hiding under the wings of King Yan.

Thinking of this, he stood up, held up his hands, and was about to say something.

Zhao Xu said calmly: "Don't talk about climbing mountains of swords and falling into seas of fire. As the saying goes, everyone is for me and I am for everyone. As long as you sincerely help me, I will definitely reciprocate the favor, and the court will take it. I won’t go back to Qinzhou and Yongzhou, but I can.”

When Ma Han heard this, he was shocked.

Now he no longer had any hesitation, "His Highness will only give you orders regarding this matter of snatching the bride, and I, the Ma family, will go all out."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly.

This time he and the Ma family are basically not allies, but they are even better than allies.

The real covenant is not a piece of paper, but the sincerity in each other's hearts.

In contemporary terms, it can be called strategic partners.

Moreover, it is also neat and tidy.

If the Ma family has other thoughts in the future, they will not feel burdened.

Likewise, he wouldn't feel burdened if he beat up the Ma family at the wrong time.

However, he still hoped that Ma Han was a smart man and would not fall on the wrong team.

"You Ma family soldiers have armor provided by me. You only need to hang out my flag when the time comes. I will admit this." Zhao Xu added.

In this way, as long as he has someone from the Ma family, he will be able to resist the danger from the court.

"Actually, there is no need. I would like to use this incident as a petition to show my sincerity." Ma Han looked firm.

Some time ago, he sent millions of refugees to King Yan, and King Yan fulfilled his promise and sent troops to help him attack Ma Jin.

This incident is enough to show that King Yan is a man of his word.

This time, since he chose to seek refuge with King Yan, he naturally had to show his sincerity.

Zhao Xu smiled and still waved his hand, "If that's the case, why do I need you to come in secret? What I want is that the Ma family is in the dark and I am in the light."

Ma Han suddenly realized something and showed a look of surprise.

If the relationship between his Ma family and King Yan were made public, the powerful clans would definitely keep an eye on his Ma family.

By hiding their relationship, they can secretly support each other and catch their enemies off guard in certain matters.

"I understand." Ma Han smiled.

Zhao Xu also smiled, keeping everything in mind.

Then, he suddenly realized something, it seemed that he was getting more and more gloomy.

Alas, there is nothing he can do, his opponents are all Lao Yinbi.

After settling the matter, Zhao Xu left Ma Han to have dinner in the mansion.

The next day, Ma Han set off back to Sizhou.

The marriage was imminent and he needed to go back to make arrangements.

Before Ma Han left, he asked Tsui Hark to send someone back with Ma Han.

He will send a ship north, and the ship will have a hot air balloon on it.

It would be best if Ma Han could rescue Princess Changle.

If not, maybe you can use a hot air balloon.

Jinling, the palace of Prince Chun.

It is located on the busiest Donghua Street at Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, it was evening, and nobles and children of powerful families were coming and going on Donghua Street.

When passing by Prince Chun's Mansion, they couldn't help but point.

Some people sighed, while others looked gloating.

"It's a pity that a beautiful woman like a fairy will be ruined by Beidi people." A noble son sighed.

"Actually, it's not a pity. By being able to have a truce with Beidi, she has made a great contribution to us." Another person said.

The two of them left as they talked.

At this time, two children from the powerful clan passed by, and one of them said: "This Princess of Changle, because she is the princess, always waved the flag and cheered for King Yan in the capital. Hehe, she must be stupid now, King Yan can't save her."

"You deserve it. What a bullshit princess. She's just a bastard from a poor family. She just got lucky and was favored by Princess Chun."

"..."

The murmurs of discussion were buried in the crowd.

The servants in front of the palace could not hear it, and Princess Changle in the boudoir at this moment could not even hear it.

She just sat in front of a glass mirror and stared at herself.

And her expression was calm as usual, as if she was not affected by the marriage.

Just when she was lost in thought, the door of the boudoir was pushed open and a lady walked in.
