Chapter 67

"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 more 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.

Her mount also died from overwork because of this.

And she herself 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 would not have had the strength to resist anyway.

Thinking of this, Ma Yunlu said gratefully:

"This young lady thanks you for your help, sir."

"However, the situation is urgent; could you please help me go to the Prime Minister's residence to report the news?"

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

"I haven't asked for your 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 fact.

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

"To tell you the truth, sir, my father is Ma Teng."

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

"I 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 her eldest brother Ma Chao be responsible for breaking through the siege and going to Chang'an to bring 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 against him.

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

Even though Ma Chao was brave, he could not withstand so many arrows!

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

Fortunately, his body was strong enough.

The arrows did not 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 her way out of the siege.

That was how the following things happened.

But thinking that her father and brothers might face the risk of death 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 did not know that Dong Zhuo had planted spies in many places in Liangzhou.

Therefore, when they were besieged in Fufeng, they thought the outside world could not know this news at all.

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

Ma Teng was not sure that Dong Zhuo would definitely send troops to rescue them.

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

Although Dong Zhuo gave him an official title in the name of the court and recognized his status as a descendant of the Fubo General Ma Yuan.

But sending troops is not a small matter.

Thus.

After Ma Teng discussed it 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 under the current situation.

The only remaining path for Ma Teng.

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 grandson-in-law of the Prime Minister."

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

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

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

"Your father will surely be out of danger soon."

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

Afterward, Gu Yi brought Ma Yunlu back to his residence.

And informed Dong Bai of the situation.

Dong Bai was not an unreasonable person.

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 Dong Bai went to the Prime Minister's residence together.

After listening to the granddaughter and grandson-in-law tell the story of Ma Yunlu.

Dong Zhuo nodded.

This Ma Teng was quite clever.

He 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.

But would be re-incorporated into the territory of the imperial court.

As for these people of the Ma family.

If they are sensible.

After joining Dong Zhuo's command, they might be able to get some important official positions in the future.

But if they are not sensible.

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

"Husband, this Miss Ma really has a good figure."

After leaving the Prime Minister's residence, Dong Bai said with a light smile.

Hearing this, Gu Yi turned around, rubbed Dong Bai's little head, and said:

"Even if it's good, it's not one ten-thousandth as good as my Bai'er."

"Oh, am I really as good as my husband says?"

Dong Bai said so, but she was blooming with joy inside.

What woman doesn't like her husband praising her?
