Chapter 492 Meeting an acquaintance
"It seems that the wait was not in vain. The mastermind behind the scenes finally couldn't sit still." Ma Su breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression quickly turned into surprise.
I finally lost my temper and took action. It was not in vain that I had waited so long. Next, let me see if you dare to secretly plot against me, how many kilograms or taels will you give me?
Thinking of this, Ma Su stood up and planned to greet him personally. But this move was immediately stopped by Li Mu, who firmly pressed Ma Su on the seat again.
"Please be patient and calm, we can't be so anxious! If this is a trick by the enemy to lure them, we will be passive."
"A trick to lure the enemy? Will my majestic hussar general be afraid of this?" Ma Di raised his eyebrows and asked Li Mu with some dissatisfaction.
He seriously suspected that Li Mu also regarded him as the scholar in Longxi who was almost burned to death. Although he is still a civil servant now, he is no longer the same as Longxi Youchang.
"You are not afraid, but are you afraid of the archives of the Prefectural Mufu?" Li Mu waved his hand and asked Ma Di calmly.
"There are only four hundred of us scattered throughout the city, and there are more than a hundred people in the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion. Even if you don't take any of you, you won't be able to defend the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion if you leave all these people."
"So it's better to sit down and wait. Sooner or later, the troublemakers outside will come to our door. When the time comes, when they gather together, we can annihilate them all!"
"I see..." Ma Su touched his chin and thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense. After all, he is not on the battlefield now. Compared with seeking death, the safety of the State Mufu is more important.
After thinking about this, Ma Su went out in no hurry. He gathered all the guards of the Prefecture and Mufu's Mansion and his own soldiers, and quickly occupied the gate and archives room. Then Ma Di personally put on his uniform and sat down in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion with a sword in hand, waiting for the enemy to come.
This wait lasted for an entire hour. Ma Su's back was sore from sitting in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, but in the end, no one came close to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion.
Instead, the fighting outside became more and more intense, and sounded larger and larger. The more Ma Su heard about this, the more he felt uncomfortable, and his brows wrinkled.
"There's something wrong with this sound. It doesn't sound like a trick to lure the enemy... Instead, it sounds like two gangs of equal strength are fighting?"
"Did someone cut off my prey?"

While Ma Su was getting impatient waiting at the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, the streets of Chengdu had turned into a battlefield. Two groups of people fought fiercely on the streets of Chengdu late at night, and the battlefield spread to less than half of Chengdu.
One of them is naturally the people from Soochow's Xiaoshi, almost all the people Soochow has recruited in Shu over the years. This group of people took advantage of the second watch to quietly open the city gate of Chengdu and quickly entered the city.
But the people on the other side turned out to be the heads of families who had been threatened by the Akatsuki people one by one the day before! Behind them there were also heavily armed clan men and horses gathered, but the blades were pointed at Akatsuki's soldiers and horses.
"Are you crazy? Are you really planning to go find Ma Su to lead you to death?"
The leading Akatsuki warrior looked at the scene in front of him, and his expression became extremely ferocious. He looked fiercely at the heads of the noble families who were blocking him, and almost roared.
"Thank you very much for your cooperation. If it weren't for you, we would never have had the opportunity to make meritorious deeds." In response to Xiaoshi's anger, the heads of the family all laughed happily.
Under their command, several fires lit by Xiaoshi people in Chengdu were quickly put out. Under the fierce fighting between the two sides, the battle situation fell into a stalemate for a while.
In the final analysis, no matter what the situation, these Shu clans have the right to choose. Especially when they are still in their own territory, the worst case scenario is that the whole family escapes Chengdu and finds a place to hide and become rich.
How dare you threaten them? Liu Xiu didn't even dare to do this back then!
Moreover, Akatsuki took action this time and gave several wealthy families very important certificates of nomination. Just when I was worried that I couldn't find a way to reconcile with the court, Akatsuki took the initiative to send me a pillow. I was really dozing off and someone gave me a pillow.
"You really don't want your life!" The leader of Xiaoshi's face darkened, he stared closely at the heads of this group of aristocratic families, and said through gritted teeth.
"You will regret it! Just wait until Ma Su destroys the three clans!"
"withdraw!"
Originally, the main force in this rebellion should be the people from the aristocratic families who were blocking it. But now that they were on the opposite side of themselves, it was obvious that he couldn't do anything with his thousands of people.
The family's private soldiers could even put out the fire while confronting them, which already explained the problem.
So there is nothing more to say, retreat quickly and leave some details for Soochow in Shu.
But if they want to leave, the family will not stare at them. The family's private soldiers quickly followed and delayed him here.
"It doesn't matter what happens to us. What's important is that as long as we bring your head, we can at least alert the Prime Minister to handle the matter personally." The head of the Wang family chased after him personally and looked at the other side with a sneer.
"And do you think we are fools? Your so-called Marquis of Wu... No, he has been demoted to a commoner by His Majesty now."
"His fighting prowess is obvious to all. Are you asking Soochow to come to rescue us? Are we afraid that our bones will be cold by the time he arrives?"
"So stop struggling and stay here for me!"
"Damn it! These wealthy people are not as easy to fool as the ones in Jingzhou!" The leader of Xiaoshi was furious, but the current situation was already very bleak.
He couldn't deal with the private soldiers of the famous family in front of him, let alone the professional boxer Ma Su who didn't show up.
Of course, he also had to thank Ma Di, because Ma Di adjusted the restrictions on private soldiers into Han law. The private armies of several wealthy families in front of him have been reduced, otherwise he would not be able to escape.
However, Xiaoshi's group of people finally escaped the pursuit of the family's private soldiers. Before they could escape from the city, a group of people appeared around the corner. The leader was unexpectedly Ma Su, who was already waiting impatiently!
After waiting for nearly two hours at the Prefecture Mufu, Ma Su heard something more and more wrong. Especially when he recalled the internal strife in the aristocratic family in Longxi, Ma Su couldn't sit still at all.
Don't let it be another dog-eat-dog fight between two groups. In the end, I will be the last to know the winner.
But after Ma Di bumped into Soochow's troops, Ma Di was stunned at first sight.
Because he saw an old acquaintance at a glance among the chaos.
"Shiren! Are you still alive?"
That's right, the leader of the Akatsuki is clearly someone whom Ma Su is very familiar with. Logically speaking, he should be Shiren who is already dead!
"Ma Su..." Shiren also saw Ma Su, his expression a little more complicated. But soon, he turned around and quickly ordered,
"Quickly retreat! Escape from Chengdu City!"
"You're already here, why are you leaving!" Ma Su had already reacted, and his expression suddenly became more serious.
"Follow me! Capture the traitor Shiren alive!"
