Chapter 136

"However, according to the physician's diagnosis, it should just be overwork and did not damage your foundation."

"You only need to rest for a few days to recover."

Gu Yi smiled slightly and said.

Hearing this, the vigilance on Ma Yunlu's face decreased significantly.

She slowly remembered some things before she fainted.

Due to the urgency of time, she had fled from Fufeng to here without stopping at all along the way.

Her mount had died of exhaustion because of this.

And she herself had finally reached her limit and fainted when she arrived near the outskirts of Chang'an.

What this man before her said should be the truth.

Otherwise, if this man had really taken advantage of her while she was unconscious, she wouldn't have had the strength to resist anyway.

Thinking of this, Ma Yunlu said gratefully:

"This young woman thanks the young master for his help."

"However, the situation is urgent; could you please help this young woman report to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Ma Yunlu thought of her father and brother who were still in danger, and her mood tightened.

"I haven't asked for the young lady's name yet."

"Looking at your attire and the traces of martial arts practice on your arms, could it be that you are from the Xiliang Ma family?"

Gu Yi inquired.

In reality.

Hearing Ma Yunlu say the situation was urgent and wanting to report to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had basically confirmed that this person was Ma Teng's youngest daughter.

"I won't hide it from you, young master; this young woman's father is Ma Teng."

"He is currently besieged in Fufeng by Han Sui and is in imminent danger."

"This young woman broke through the siege with the help of my father and brother and came to Chang'an hoping to seek the Prime Minister's help."

Speaking of this, Ma Yunlu's tears almost fell again.

Actually, according to the original intention of her father and brothers.

They wanted to let the eldest brother Ma Chao be responsible for breaking through the siege and going to Chang'an to move reinforcements.

But the awkward thing was.

Because Ma Chao's martial strength was the strongest among the Ma family, Han Sui had long been on high alert for Ma Chao.

The moment Ma Chao broke through the siege, countless stray arrows swept over!

Even though Ma Chao was brave, he couldn't withstand so many arrows!

He was hit by three arrows and almost fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, his body was strong enough.

The arrows didn't penetrate deeply.

That was why his life was not endangered.

Helpless, after some discussion, Ma Teng and the others had to change their original plan.

Leaving the task of breaking through the siege to the youngest daughter, Ma Yunlu, who had the lowest presence.

Under the cover of her father and brothers, Ma Yunlu fought hard to break through the siege.

That was how the following things happened.

But thinking that her father and brothers might face the risk of being killed in battle at any time, Ma Yunlu was full of worry.

After listening to Ma Yunlu's account, Gu Yi understood the general course of events.

Because Ma Teng and the others didn't know that Dong Zhuo had planted spies in many places in Liangzhou.

Therefore, when they were besieged in Fufeng, they thought the outside world couldn't know this news at all.

Moreover, even if the outside world already knew the news.

Ma Teng couldn't guarantee that Dong Zhuo would definitely send troops to rescue them.

You must know, not long ago, he Ma Shoucheng was still a rebel of the imperial court!

Although Dong Zhuo gave him an official position in the name of the imperial court and recognized his identity as a descendant of the Wave-Quelling General Ma Yuan.

But sending troops was not a small matter.

Thus.

After Ma Teng discussed with his sons and daughter.

They decided to break through the siege and seek help, coming to Chang'an to report the news, hoping that Dong Zhuo could send reinforcements to Fufeng as soon as possible.

There was no other way; seeking help from Dong Zhuo.

This was also the only way out left for Ma Teng under the current situation.

Most of the small warlords in Liangzhou, under Han Sui's deception, had almost all joined the Anti-Ma Teng Alliance.

Looking at the world.

The only one who could extend a helping hand to Ma Teng was Dong Zhuo, the nominal big brother.

"Miss Ma, I am Gu Yi, the Prime Minister's granddaughter's husband."

"I will report this matter truthfully to the Prime Minister."

"However, Miss Ma, you don't need to worry."

"This morning, the Prime Minister has already decided to send troops to Liangzhou to wipe out the rebels led by Han Sui."

"Your father will probably be out of danger before long."

Hearing this, Ma Yunlu's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little.

Subsequently, Gu Yi brought Ma Yunlu back to the mansion.

And informed Dong Bai of the course of events.

Dong Bai was also a person who understood the big picture.

As Dong Zhuo's only granddaughter, she also had some unique insights into the current situation.

After temporarily settling Ma Yunlu down.

Gu Yi and his wife Dong Bai went to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

After listening to his granddaughter and her husband tell the story of Ma Yunlu.

Dong Zhuo nodded.

This Ma Teng was quite clever.

He still knew to ask for reinforcements from his nominal big brother.

However, the big brother's help was naturally not free.

Even if Ma Teng could be saved this time.

Liangzhou would no longer be under Ma Teng's control in the future.

Instead, it would be re-incorporated into the imperial court's territory.

As for these people of the Ma family.

If they were sensible.

After joining Dong Zhuo's camp, they might be able to hold some important official positions later.

But if they were not sensible.

Neither Dong Zhuo nor Gu Yi would allow such a potential threat to continue to exist.
