Finally, he told Master Ma to let him drink less, but he didn't expect that he would put forward another condition in the end. When he saw the malicious smile on Master Ma's face, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Because he knew what Ma's request was, he said helplessly: "Uncle Ma, don't go. If it really doesn't work, how about I'll go for you?"

"I'm not old enough to move, why can't I go?" Ma Ye was so angry when he heard Li Xiu's words that he blew his beard and glared. Like Qin Qiong, he hoped that he would return to Liaodong one day. Although he is old and in good health, he is not yet able to walk, so he naturally wants to go with him.

"Uncle Ma, don't make things difficult for me. You know the situation in Liaodong more clearly than me. Not to mention anything else, the climate over there is not something that ordinary people can bear, so I think you should rest at home. Then General Qin and I will be fine." Li Xiu smiled bitterly again and persuaded him. They were going to Goguryeo to fight and had no energy to take care of an old man like Ma.

"No, Uncle Bao can go, why can't I go?" Mr. Ma said stubbornly. He was a dissatisfied person. Even though his health is really not good now, he still was unwilling to admit it.

"Brother Ma, don't be embarrassed by your son-in-law. I know your thoughts. I will help you bring all our old brothers back then!" Qin Qiong also persuaded him at this time. He was much younger than Master Ma, but even so, he still felt a little difficult, not to mention that Master Ma got sick from time to time in the past two years, his body was already broken, and he could not ride a horse and fight like he did when he was young.

"I'm not embarrassed for you, but I just think of the old brothers who stayed in Liaodong. I had to bring them back in person, so I must go to Liaodong!" When Ma said this, he looked at Li Xiu again and said, "If you don't help me, then I will go to His Majesty by myself. Even if I give up this old face, I will ask him to take me with me!"

"Uncle Ma, you..." Li Xiu really didn't know what to say when he heard this. He looked at Qin Qiong next to him for help. Unfortunately, Qin Qiong was not very good at persuading people, and he knew Ma Ye's temper. As long as it was something he knew, Jiutou would not think of bringing back, so he could only smile helplessly.

Seeing that Qin Qiong had no choice, Li Xiu also smiled bitterly, but at this moment he suddenly thought of something and immediately smiled: "Uncle Ma, if you really want to go, I can ask you for love from Your Majesty, but do you have to discuss this matter with the princess first?"

"Yes, yes! Brother Ma, you'd better discuss with your sister-in-law. After all, it's such a big thing. If your sister-in-law doesn't agree, I'll just let it go!" Qin Qiong's eyes lit up when he heard Li Xiu's words, and immediately spoke up.

Although Ma Ye is talking about it outside, since he got married to Princess Guanghua, he has heard Princess Guanghua's words the most. This is not that Ma Ye is afraid of his wife, but his respect and love for his wife. For example, he was sick some time ago and did not allow him to eat meat. If he had not had Princess Guanghua, he would probably not take it seriously at all and would eat whatever he should eat. However, now that Princess Guanghua is watching at home, he can only look for Li Xiu secretly if he wants to eat meat.

When Mr. Ma suddenly became silent when he heard Li Xiu ask him to discuss with his wife. With his understanding of Princess Guanghua, the other party would definitely not agree. In fact, Mr. Ma himself also knew that with his current physical condition, if he went to Liaodong, he might not be able to come back.

"Uncle Ma, this time His Majesty is determined to destroy Goguryeo. I guess our army will be able to drive to Pyongyang City next winter. By then, the entire Goguryeo will be ours. When the weather gets warmer in spring, I will take you over and join you in collecting the corpses of the soldiers who died in Liaodong. Do you think this is OK?" Li Xiu proposed another solution at this time and said that if Goguryeo is captured by then, it will be fine to pick up Ma Master.

"Brother Ma, I think the prince consort's method is good. The battle will be over and I will be free. Let's slowly find the corpses of the brothers!" Qin Qiong nodded in agreement at this time.

Hearing that Li Xiu and Qin Qiong said this, and considering that his wife would not agree, Ma finally sighed and said, "I'll think about this matter again."

Although Ma Ye did not agree not to go to Liaodong on the spot, his tone had softened, which made Li Xiu and Qin Qiong happy, because they all knew that he was just not able to save face and had already made a plan to give up.

"Shubao, how are your health now? Are you still dealing with the old problems in the past?" Ma Master was silent for a moment, then turned his head and asked Qin Qiong. He couldn't go anymore, so he naturally hoped that Qin Qiong, the old brother, could go on his behalf, but Qin Qiong's body also made him very worried.

"Brother Ma, don't worry, I've quit drinking in the past few years. I usually take care of Master Sun's instructions, and I have no physical problems. If I really fight, even if the boys at home are together, they will not be my opponent. As for the old problems I used to be, they will not be cured, but they have been relieved a lot, so you are not worried!" Qin Qiong laughed at this time. He was preparing for this day for many years of rest.

"It's fine, it's fine!" Ma Master whispered enviously, but when he said this, he suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then said again, "Shubao, do you still remember when we attacked Goguryeo for the first time, we were surrounded by the enemy and all the brothers were killed in battle. If you hadn't carried me out of the pile of dead people, I would have turned into a pile of dead bones."

"Of course I remember, and I still remember the scene when those brothers died in battle. It was the first time I participated in such a cruel battle. It's a pity that I was too young at the time, otherwise I would have been able to lead my brothers out of the siege!" Qin Qiong said at the end, and couldn't help but say with tears in his eyes that he joined the army as a subordinate of Ma Ye. At that time, Ma Ye and others saw that he was young and took good care of him, but they didn't expect that after the battle, except for him and Ma Ye, everyone else died in Liaodong in battle. Sometimes he would also see the brothers who took care of him in his dreams.

"Just remember, those old brothers have been waiting in Liaodong for too long. We must take them home this time!" Mr. Ma also said with a slightly red eye at this time. The man was crying, but he was not sad, especially when he got old, the easier it was to recall the people and things that happened back then.

Just as Li Xiu and Ma Ye were talking, a servant suddenly rushed to report: "Your Ma Ye, Master Xue asked for a meeting!"
