In the shaking carriage, Qi Niang and Hen'er were playing with flower ropes. A red rope tied into a circle changed various patterns between their clever hands, causing the two little girls to giggle from time to time. The wardrobe also gave a few tips from time to time, having fun with them. At this time, Princess Pingyang winked at Li Xiu, then got off the carriage and turned over to chase Ma Ye who was leading the team in front.

Li Xiu also opened the window and looked at Princess Pingyang and Ma Ye in front of him. Because of He'er, they stayed in Puzhou for a few more days yesterday. It was mainly because Ma Ye personally took out He'er's father's ashes, arranged a funeral, and solemnly buried him in the Ma family's tomb. This was also the only confirmed corpse in the Ma family. He set off today and rushed back to Chang'an.

However, Li Xiu was still a little suspicious of He'er's origin, but seeing that Ma Ye was so happy, he didn't dare to say it directly, so he could only discuss it with Princess Pingyang. Princess Pingyang also felt that He'er's origin was a bit strange, so after thinking about it, he decided to talk to Ma Ye himself. It was only a few days ago that Ma Ye was busy burying He'er's father for burial, so he had a chance today.

After Princess Pingyang rode a horse to catch up with Master Ma, the two walked and talked in front. Li Xiu watched from behind and couldn't hear what they were talking about. However, as Princess Pingyang seemed to say something, Master Ma showed a thoughtful expression. After a while, she said something again. Finally, Princess Pingyang nodded, then turned her head and came back.

"How is it, what does Uncle Ma say?" Li Xiu poked his head out of the window and asked in a low voice when he saw Princess Pingyang coming back.

"Uncle Ma said he asked you to see him, and he wanted to say something to you!" Princess Pingyang said helplessly. She just said all the suspicious words of Henger's identity, but Ma Master refused to say more. Instead, he asked Li Xiu to go and say it. This made her feel a little jealous. After all, she and Ma Master are more like father and daughter, but now this "father" refuses to talk to her about some psychological things, but instead prefers to talk to Li Xiu, a "outsider".

"Hehe, men, sometimes they are indeed more willing to talk to men about common topics!" Li Xiu saw the helplessness on Princess Pingyang's face and understood what she was thinking. He couldn't help but smile and said, no matter how outstanding Princess Pingyang is, he is more willing to talk to Li Xiu. It is probably the old concept of favoring boys over girls.

When Princess Pingyang heard Li Xiu's words, she gave him a blank look, then jumped off the horse and returned to the carriage. Li Xiu went out to ride the horse to Ma Master. Before he could speak, Ma Master stared at him and said, "It's your kid's provocation again. The princess has learned bad things with you. Why are you so suspicious?"

"Uncle Ma, I...I'm not for your own good, right?" Li Xiu was also helpless when Ma Master robbed him. His suspicious habit was also developed in later generations. If you blame them, you will blame the philosophies of later generations. If you read too much, you will doubt everything.

Of course, Ma Master knew that Li Xiu was doing his own good, but he suddenly sighed and said, "Li Xiu, you have not experienced the pain of extermination, so you can't understand my mood at all. When I learned that I was the only one left in my family, I actually wanted to die, but for some reason, I still had a little unwillingness in my heart. It was precisely because of the unwilling belief that I had come to this day."

When he said this, he suddenly smiled a little on his face, and then he continued: "But after having Hei'er, it's completely different. She is the only blood in our Ma family. As long as she is here, the bloodline of our Ma family will not be cut off. When Hei'er gets older in a few years, I will recruit her a son-in-law to come to her. The child born will be born with the surname Ma. In this way, I will be worthy of my father and a few brothers in the future!"

When Ma Ye talked about his future plans, his face also had a satisfied smile, and he seemed to be immersed in the fantasy of continuing the incense. However, this made Li Xiu feel a little confused. At this time, he finally asked: "Uncle Ma, I really want to ask a question for a long time, but you can't do it after asking!"

"What's the problem?" Uncle Ma immediately turned his head and stared at his cow's eyes. He felt that Li Xiu's next words must be nothing good.

"Hehe, that's right. Uncle Ma, you were not very old when you escaped. Even now you are in your prime, why don't you have a few more children?" Li Xiu finally asked this question and said that he deliberately avoided the side for a few steps, mainly because he was afraid that Ma would kick him.

However, what Li Xiu did not expect was that after hearing this, Ma Ye suddenly fell silent, and the expression on his face was also gloomy and clear. After a while, he suddenly rushed forward and signaled Li Xiu to follow. As a result, the two of them walked far forward, and there was no one else around him.

"Boy, I originally wanted to bring this to the coffin, but since you asked about it today, I might as well tell you that I can't have children anymore!" When Ma said this, a painful expression appeared on his face. A man could not continue his bloodline, and this kind of pain was something that others could not understand.

"How is that possible? Uncle Ma, don't you still have a few concubines?..." Li Xiu was shocked when he heard this, but then he was a little unbelievable. He had seen Ma's concubines, and two of them had been with him for many years. If he could not have children, what would he do? Unless it was to cover up.

"Don't think about it randomly. I said that you can't have children, it's not that you can't be humane. Do you believe me if I can still be the Ten Girls of Ye Yu?" When Ma Ye heard the "Is it" behind Li Xiu, he immediately guessed what he was thinking, and said furiously.

"Believe! Uncle Ma, of course, you are not old. I'm thinking too much. But have you had children before? Why can't you have children now?" Li Xiu hurriedly followed Ma's words. Old men are like this. You must not question his ability in that area, otherwise someone may die.

When talking about the reason why there was no child, Ma Ye immediately showed a gritting expression. After a while, he said: "It's not because of the attack on Goguryeo. I have told you before that when we attacked Goguryeo for the third time, we were almost dead. If Qin Qiong hadn't fought desperately, I'm afraid no brothers under my command would have withdrawn."

When I said this, Ma Ye paused for a moment and continued, "I was also injured in that battle. One of them was injured under my crotch. Later, after recovering, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so I didn't care. But no matter how many women there were, they couldn't get pregnant, which made me feel something wrong. So I found many doctors. As a result, a doctor with extremely high medical skills diagnosed me, and I decided without asking me that I was unable to have children because of the injury, and this was not a medicine stone to cure. I would never have any more children in my life."

Li Xiu couldn't help but feel silent when he heard this. He didn't expect that Ma Master had such a secret. He thought that he had been born and died for the Sui Dynasty in the first half of his life, but ended up being destroyed by a family. If such a Sui Dynasty is not destroyed, it would be unreasonable.

"Uncle Ma, I understand. I can understand that you are determined to preserve blood and blood for the Ma family. However, the appearance of Hell is indeed a bit too coincidental. Of course, it may be because I thought about it more, so I still hope that you can investigate more. With the energy in your hands, it should not be difficult to find out such a thing, right?" Li Xiu persuaded him again immediately. The more he understood Ma, the more he was worried that Ma would suffer in this regard. Although Ma was careless, it was his weakness in the family.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool, but you don't have to doubt Hen'er's identity. When I got along with Hener these days, I have also asked her a lot about her father. Whether it is speaking, doing things, or appearance and physical characteristics, it proves that her father is my fourth brother. Moreover, Hener is so young that even if he lies, he will not have any flaws. I can still tell these." Mr. Ma also spoke solemnly at this time.

"Since Uncle Ma said that, I'm relieved!" Li Xiu was not completely unprepared when he heard that Ma Master was not at all prepared, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Master Ma was an old man and was a person who engaged in intelligence. You must know that he had an intelligence agency responsible for Li Yuan, so ordinary conspiracies should not be hidden from his ignorant eyes.

"By the way, although Hen'er is a little older, he has never read any books. He just learned a few words from his fourth brother. This is not possible. Moreover, she and Qi Niang play very well, so I decided to let her and Qi Niang learn with you. You have to teach me well. There is only one left in our Ma family. Even a woman must have the ability to stand alone!" Ma suddenly thought of her future plans and explained to Li Xiu immediately.

"Okay, Qi Niang must be very happy, because she will have another playmate in the future." Li Xiu nodded immediately. Anyway, there are already a few students, and it will not have much impact on one more hatred.

After talking about He'er, Li Xiu and Ma Ye chatted about some gossip. Among them, Ma Ye talked about what happened in Chang'an City these two days. Although he was not in Chang'an, several mysterious people came to report to him every day, so he knew everything about Chang'an.

However, according to Mr. Ma, there seemed to be something wrong with the candidates for promoting corn and sweet potatoes. Originally, Yang Nong could win the matter with certainty, but for some reason Wei Zheng got in again. The two sides could not argue and had not yet reached a conclusion. Li Xiu was quite concerned about this matter, but he had already helped all the help. If Yang Nong still couldn't get it, then he would have no choice.

"By the way, there is another thing you want to help tell the princess!" Just as he was talking about Chang'an, Mr. Ma suddenly thought of something, and suddenly spoke, and his expression seemed a little disgusting when he spoke. (To be continued.)
