Chapter 352

Ma Xifan quickly invited the empress and others into the city, and found a secret place to discuss.

In a separate courtyard, Ma Xifan led several cronies and received the empress alone.

The reason why Ma Xifan only met the Empress was naturally because she was afraid that the Empress and those martial arts subordinates would do something to assassinate her.

No one is not afraid of death, and Ma Xifan is no exception.

Only if he is alive, will he have the chance to ascend to the unattainable throne of King Chu.

The empress didn't pay much attention to Ma Xifan's defensive appearance.

With her martial arts, it is very easy to take down Ma Xifan, but her goal is not here.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Ma Xifan spoke first.

The empress didn't want to waste any more words, and directly explained her intentions: "Tanzhou is in danger, and the general's strength is urgently needed to turn the tide."

Ma Xifan asked calmly, "What happened to Tanzhou?"

The Empress glanced at him and said, "The king of Chu died of illness, the eldest son Ma Xiyue was killed, and the whereabouts of the second son Ma Xisheng is unknown."

Hearing this, Ma Xifan was obviously surprised.

Regarding his father's condition, Ma Xifan had already known about it, so he was not surprised that his father died.

But how did Ma Xiyue die?

You must know that Ma Xiyue is the eldest son of Chu State, and he is also in charge of part of the forbidden army of Chu State. It is as difficult as heaven for ordinary people to kill him!
He kept thinking in his heart, but Ma Xifan showed a sad expression on the surface, choked up and said: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it true that the father died of illness?"

"Really." The empress nodded, quietly watching Ma Xifan perform.

Sure enough, the next moment Ma Xifan couldn't wait to speak again, and asked, "How did my benevolent and wise elder brother get killed?"

"Ma Xiyue was beheaded on the spot by Chu Prime Minister Xu Dexun because he wanted to take refuge in bad people. Later, Xu Dexun wanted to make a wish immediately, but it was a pity that the bad people took the lead and made someone else's wedding dress."

Ma Xifan frowned slightly, and soon regained his sad expression, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Xu Dexun has been beheaded by bad people, and Ma Xisheng's whereabouts are unknown. Now, the bad people have supported a false body of Ma Xisheng, and ascended the throne of King Chu in Tanzhou!"

The Empress's words are naturally half-truths and half-false.

Not long ago, she received a letter from Feige from Li Cunxu, and learned about everything that happened in Tanzhou.

What she said to Ma Xifan was true except that Ma Xisheng was not missing but was in Li Cunxu's hands.

"The thief of the country, really hateful!"

Hearing this, Ma Xifan was immediately filled with righteous indignation, and his face was filled with grief and indignation.

In fact, he was not 100% sure whether what the mysterious man in front of him said was true or not, but he actually wanted it to be true in his heart.

If what the person in front of him said is true, then the number one heir to the state of Chu will become him, Ma Xifan!

At this moment, suddenly a general in armor came to the door.Ma Xifan turned his head and glanced at him, the general then bowed in, bowed his head to Ma Xifan's ear, and said in a low voice, "General Qi, a letter from Tanzhou!"

The general took out the envelope from his pocket, and the letter was quickly transferred to Ma Xifan.

Ma Xifan opened it calmly and looked at it.

After a while, Ma Xifan's eyes widened, obviously shocked by the content of the letter.

After being silent for a while, Ma Xifan said to the Empress, "Your Excellency's words are indeed true."

Ma Xifan gritted his teeth and said: "This letter is a letter from Mr. Xu, and what is said in the letter is to let my son go to Tanzhou to inherit the great rule of Chu!"

"It's a pity that Xu Xiang has passed away. The thief is really hateful!"

"Everyone pushes the wall down, everyone beats the drum! If the state of Chu is really stolen by bad people, then the general will still die." The empress turned to Ma Xifan at this time and said: "Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take advantage of the current situation in Chu." The people are still thinking about the old kindness of the King of Chu, and they are fighting to the death, and as the son of the King of Chu, a general, call on the loyal and righteous people of Chu to do something against them!"

"Against rebellion?" Ma Xi asked calmly.

"That's right!"

After a while, hundreds of people stood in the spacious hall.They are all generals and civil servants from all aspects of Langzhou, and they gathered here only after receiving orders from Ma Xifan.

At this time, everyone looked solemn, and occasionally there were only a few whispers.

After standing silently for a long time, everyone turned their heads one after another, suddenly stunned.

I saw Ma Xifan, dressed in white filial piety, walking in from behind.

Seeing this, everyone was in an uproar.

Ma Xifan had a painful look on his face, and when the crowd parted to make way, he passed through the crowd and walked to the upper position.

He stood in front and turned around, and everyone fell silent one after another.

"Everyone." Ma Xifan looked around and said with red eyes: "I have a sad news to tell you all! My father and elder brother have been murdered by traitors!"

When everyone heard the words, they were all taken aback immediately, and made a loud noise, interrupting Ma Xifan's words.

At this time, suddenly there was a burst of wailing from the noisy crowd, the voice was distraught and loud, and it directly overwhelmed the voices of everyone talking!
Everyone fell silent and turned their heads to look.

The source of the crying was actually Ma Xifan.

Ma Xifan cried very sadly.As he cried, he said loudly with snot and tears: "Father has spent his whole life, led the weak people to fight bloody battles, traveled across the land of Chu, established the Great Chu, and established great achievements. How difficult it is! Unexpectedly, his life was killed by others today. The country must be stolen by others!"

Everyone was puzzled, but at this moment a guard passed an envelope to everyone.

This envelope was exactly the one sent by Xu Dexun's order, and there was Xu Dexun's seal on it.But the content of the envelope was changed.

The notes in the letter were written by Ma Xifan in imitation of Xu Dexun's handwriting. Although they were not very similar, most of the people present were rough warriors.

As for the remaining few civil servants, even if they could sense something strange, they didn't say much.

Everyone read the letter quickly.

They asked a few people who could read in a low voice, and immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"Your Majesty has been murdered by traitors, Prime Minister Xu has also suffered disasters, and the people of Tanzhou are in dire straits. Our country of Chu is going to destroy it!"

"Unexpectedly, Xu Xiang was killed by traitors all his life in the South and North!"

"I didn't expect that I, Chu Guozuo, would have been stolen by others!"

For a while, the generals were discussing and passionate. Although some people doubted the authenticity of the letter, no one sang against it.

At this moment, a general suddenly stepped forward and said loudly: "The traitor usurps the country, and the villain succeeds. You are the pillars of our Chu country, how can you just sit idly by?!"

"Who said we should just sit back and do nothing?! I can't wait to slaughter those villains!" A martial artist roared immediately.

A general took advantage of the situation and said to Ma Xifan: "Our country of Chu has reached a critical moment of survival. As the son of the king of Chu, Marshal Jie should take the lead and defend our country of Chu!"

A man dressed as a civil servant also took the opportunity to say: "What General Liu said is very true, Jie Shuai, you are the son of the king of Chu, the country is in danger, and there are traitors in the court, why don't you lead us to Tanzhou, capture the traitors alive, and sacrifice to the ancestral temple? Blame it before!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene became quiet for a while, and everyone looked at Ma Xifan.

Ma Xifan looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, to punish crimes and rebels, blood will be shed! Are you afraid?"

"Not afraid!"

"Since you brothers don't spare your lives, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Ma Xifan gritted his teeth, slapped the armrest with his right hand, pointed at it with his sword, and said sharply: "Today, I want to punish crimes and rebels. I will announce here that I will never stop until the last one is killed!"

All the generals clasped their fists and knelt down, saying together: "I would like to be the general's vanguard, and punish crimes and treason!"
