"Shandong? Did you say what his name was? ”

"Master, he didn't say what his name was, but he said that he came to find the lord for the Yuan family."

"The Yuan family? Let him in first. ”

The servant took the order and left, Ma Yue scratched his head and put on a piece of clothing, wondering who from the Yuan family came to find him. It seems that it has been almost half a year since he came to Luoyang, but Ma Yue has not had a relationship with any of the Yuan family at all.

Not long after, the servant led a strong man wearing a cloth robe, standing still in front of Ma Yue, saluting and saying: "In the lower Zuo Jingfu Du Wei Ji Ling, I have seen Zuo Du Hou. ”

Ji Ling? Hearing this name, the pupils in Ma Yue's eyes shrank, this person made great achievements for Yuan Shu in the future, but he didn't expect that at this time, Ji Ling was already a member of the Yuan family.

"Captain doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat."

Ji Ling sat opposite Ma Yue, and was not in a hurry to get down to business, and said to Ma Yue while eating the snacks handed by his subordinates: "This martial arts arena in Zuodu is good. ”

Ma Yue nodded and said: "It's good, but it's not under repair, this house was originally the former residence of Taiwei Duan, and later it was transferred to Mr. Xia." The lieutenant is here to see Mr., or is there something to look for? ”

Ji Lingsheng is tall and sturdy, about the same age as Guan Yu, with thick and powerful knuckles, and his palms are covered with calluses, he looks like a martial arts expert, and his official position is much bigger than Ma Yue, but Ma Yue doesn't need to deliberately compliment him.

Before the appearance of the Xiyuan Army, the Central Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty was divided into two systems, the Southern Army and the Northern Army, the Southern Army was stationed in the South Palace, and the duty was to guard the security of the royal family, and the guard was responsible for it.

The Northern Army is in charge of the ruling Jinwu, and the duty in peacetime is to inspect the security of Luoyang City outside the palace and protect the legitimate rights of the people from being violated.

There is no subordinate relationship between them, and Ma Yue does not need to have any respect for Ji Ling except for a little personal humility.

Ji Ling didn't care about the original owner of this house, and said with a smile: "I already said it when I reported the door, and I just came to see Zuo Duhou's heroic posture for the eldest son of the Yuan family...... How many tricks have you played? ”

"Since the lieutenant is interested, but he is disrespectful, then please."

The eldest son of the Yuan family, isn't it Yuan Shu, co-authoring this Ji Ling was sent by Yuan Shu to test his own quality, so let's see how many catties and taels this Ji Ling's martial arts are.

Ma Yue picked out a ring knife from the weapon rack, and Ji Ling also held the ring knife and grinned at Ma Yue, waved it twice and said, "Zuo Du Hou, please." ”

Recently, Ma Yue's skills have improved a lot, but against an opponent like Shang Jiling, Ma Yue is not very confident.

Ji Ling was eight feet tall and had a strong physique, and after holding the ring knife, he looked at Ma Yue provocatively.

This is a master, judging from the momentum, this Ji Ling's martial arts are only afraid of being comparable to Xu Huang, a second-rate posture.

But no matter what, you have to try it to find out, don't you?

Ma Yue carried the ring knife, and rushed towards Ji Ling with a loud shout, and Ji Ling almost at the moment when Ma Yue burst out, he sprinted with the knife at the same time.

"Bell!"

The two knives collided, making a sound of gold and stone, and both of them had spare strength in this round.

Ma Yue smiled, this temptation, he used seven points of strength, which was comparable to Ji Lingdou, and it seemed that the two of them were almost the same in strength.

Ma Yue spun around and jumped up with a long knife, while Ji Ling raised his knife to block diagonally, and then kicked out Ma Yue in the middle.

Although this kick hit Ma Yue in the chest, Ji Ling was also dragged down by Ma Yue, and the situation in the field fell into a stalemate again after the two sides got up.

Ji Ling's kick was so powerful that Ma Yue almost turned his back on his breath, and he took two big breaths, Ma Yue shouted: "Ji Duwei, come again!" ”

"Haha, come on!" Ji Ling smiled and rushed over again, Ma Yue crooked his neck twice, and hit it with a knife.

The knives collided, and no one breathed a sigh of relief.

The temptation is over, and now it's time to show the real thing.

The two sides tried their best to fight, Ji Ling's single knife did not leave the vital point, each knife was powerful, and the sound of breaking the sky was endless.

But Ma Yue is not a mediocre hand, although he suffered a small loss in the front, he became more and more brave in the back, and it was difficult for Ji Ling to take Ma Yue down in a short time.

Swinging his knife again to block Ji Ling's ferocious attack, Ma Yue couldn't help but take a few steps back with his legs on the ground.

Seeing that Ji Ling was attacking again, Ma Yue suddenly swung out several knives and fought hard with Ji Ling, seeing that he still couldn't attack for a long time, Ma Yue fiercely withdrew his knife, saluted and said: "Du Wei is good at swordsmanship, Ma Yue is willing to bow down." ”

After all, he had an age advantage, and Ji Ling, who was in the prime of life, put away his knife and said with a smile: "Zuo Du Hou's martial arts are not ordinary, oh, there are still guests in Zuo Du Hou's mansion, since this is the case, Ji Ling will leave." ”

Ma Yue turned his head to see that there was no guest, Cao Cao was sitting on a few cases leisurely eating fruit, and when he saw Ma Yue looking to his side, he stretched out his arm and waved at Ma Yue twice.

Seeing that Ma Yue is angry and funny, this guy ...... This is to treat the Liang Mansion as his own home.

In the entire Luoyang City, there is only one Cao Cao who enters the Liang Mansion and does not report the door, except for Cai Yong and a few old friends of Liang Hu.

Ma Yue said to Ji Ling: "If the captain has something to do, let's go first, come and see off the guests." ”

Ji Ling smiled at Ma Yue and said: "Zuo Duhou has good martial arts and military exploits, he was only a man in Shandong three years ago, and he has to follow the eldest son of the Yuan family for only a few years, the eldest prince is very optimistic about you, if you have anything in the future, you can go to the Yuan Mansion for help." That's all I have to say, take care of yourself. ”

Ji Ling left, leaving Ma Yue scratching his head on the martial arts arena, and walked to the pavilion speechlessly and said to Cao Cao: "Why did Brother Meng De come today?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Come and see you compete with Ji Ling, haha." Just kidding. ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the entourage handed over two volumes of books, Cao Cao smiled: "Didn't I tell you last time, because my brother likes military books, I went back to my home a few days ago to get two volumes for you, and Sun Wu's art of war that my brother personally annotated, San Lang can read books and learn them in his spare time." ”

"A sword needs a whetstone, and a mind needs a book."

Ma Yue took the bamboo slip and took a cursory glance, the book was densely added with annotations written with cinnabar pens, which were very conspicuous, and those rare words were also explained by Cao Cao, so that it didn't look so troublesome, and he saluted Cao Cao at the moment: "Ma Sanduo, thank you Brother Meng De for such a big gift." ”

"Hey! No need to be polite, no need to be polite. Cao Cao hurriedly got up and waved his hand and said: "Brother Wei just thinks that San Lang should learn more things, and San Lang is also a studious person, and these books are not dusty in San Lang's hands." ”

"Hehe, isn't Brother Meng De curious about what happened to Ji Ling?" Ma Yue accepted the book, sat down opposite Cao Cao, rubbed his chest while laughing, and said, "This guy has a lot of strength. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Of course Brother Wei knows what he came for, isn't it just to express his goodwill to San Lang for Yuan Highway, and want to think more about San Lang as a former official who can be civil and martial, and Brother Wei came here today for this matter, Yuan originally wanted to meet you, tonight, he set up a banquet at home." ”
