Chapter 47: Preemptive strike
Ma Yue thought very clearly, putting aside his subjective dislike for Yan Hu, what happened in Gu Fuzhong Gu Yong, as an outsider, saw it clearly, and what he said was very pertinent.
There is a right and a wrong for each other.
Yan Hu was too abrupt, and Ma Yue was too irritable.
As for the feud, in fact, in the final analysis, no matter how much Ma Yue doesn't talk much, Cai Yong will not give his daughter to Yan's family, Ma Yue's more mouth just makes things develop in a worse direction.
Therefore, why not visit the door another day, apologize, and reveal the matter?
β¦β¦
On the third day of coming to Wu County, the East Market was opened, and Ma Yue took Cai Yan to the streets early in the morning.
Wu County is a quiet and prosperous city, although not as luxurious as the imperial capital of Luoyang, but it has its own gentleness of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River in the faint wind of late summer.
The barefoot children running in the fields carried lotus canopies in their arms, and the women in raccoon clothes on the shore laughed with each other, and the movements of their hands were gentle and elegant.
There is a Wen Nong Chu language everywhere in the land of Wuhui, and the girls made of water in the Jiangnan family say words as gentle as water.
"Mr. Cai, it should be very comfortable to live here."
On the green grass, Ma Yue and Cai Yan were lying with their arms on their backs, with a half-step in between.
"Do you like it here, too?"
Ma Yue closed his eyes, his eyes were warm red from the afternoon sun, and he whispered with the corners of his mouth hooked, and his tone was like a whisper: "One day you will be with me, and we will go back to Liangzhou." Liangzhou is actually not as ...... as many people say Bitter cold. Every year after the spring cold, the thyme everywhere blooms through the yellow ground, like a golden sea. Even in the middle of summer, you can see the snow-capped mountains and herds of cattle and sheep on the grassland, and the herdsmen sit crookedly on the backs of the sheep with the huqin in their arms and play ancient tunes. Wild horses can be seen everywhere, and men are riding wild horses in their sleeves bare-chested, galloping and shouting, and gulping cold wine. β
"That's my hometown, I'll take you back."
The faint sound of the wind blew in my ears, and there was a low answer.
"Yes."
Cai Yan turned sideways, and his slender fingers ran through Ma Yue's sideburns, untied and tied them up many times.
"Are you homesick?"
"Last night I had a dream about many old friends...... I dreamed of Kuroko. His name was Gutar, and he was my former guard, and he wanted to tell me something, but I couldn't hear anything. β
"Is he in Liangzhou, maybe you should go home and take a look."
Cai Yan didn't know who Gutar was, and she hadn't seen it, she thought it was the black man who protected them some time ago, she didn't know, since it was a personal guard, why didn't she bring him to Luoyang?
Ma Yue shook his head gently, for fear of disturbing Cai Yan, who was playing with his hair, and said, "I can't see him, he died in that assassination three years ago, defending the dignity of a martial artist." β
Cai Yan didn't speak, but Ma Yue felt his hair smack, and at this moment, Ma Yue's ears were keenly aware of a voice.
"Squeak...... Click. β
The sound was slight, like it came from twenty paces away, but Ma Yue was familiar with this voice, and it should never have been here.
It was the sound of a strong crossbow passing through the stone!
How could there be the sound of a strong crossbow winding in the grassy field outside Wu County?
Ma Yue turned over suddenly, his hair braided in Cai Yan's hand, he knelt on the ground like a lion pounced, pulled out the broken knife on his waist with one hand, and protected Cai Yan with the other, waiting fiercely not far away.
"Get out!"
β¦β¦
"Who is that Ma Yue?"
Yan Hu, who rushed out of the door, asked angrily to the left and right.
There was only Yan Yu by his side, but Yan Yu was helpless about this question, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Who else can it be, the former captain of the Northern Military Academy, two thousand stones." But now it's a white body. β
"Of course I know that he used to be a lieutenant, and I ask what he has done, what kind of person he is? I don't believe that anyone who is not sure will dare to hit me on the land of Wu County! β
Yan Hu's entourage drove the carriage out of the back door of the Gu family's mansion, Yan Hu helped the carriage up halfway, turned his head and said to Yan Yu: "Ah Yu, there are still things in the county for my brother to go back first, you are here to help my brother take a look at who that Ma Yue is, ask what he has done, what friends he has in Yangzhou, and my brother will come to look for you again when I am in Xiumu." β
Yan Hu is not a simple-minded guy, proposing to Cai Yong is just a faint look, and he calmed down as soon as the cool breeze blew out of the Gu family's mansion.
The horse who was dressed like a pariah dared to be so disrespectful to himself, and this was the first time in several years that Yan Hu had done so.
You have to figure out where Ma Yue came from, if it's just two thousand stones that have nothing to do, hum.
Then his head is too high!
Yan Yumu left Wu County in a carriage, walked to a wine shop outside the city, and asked the store for a bowl of rice wine.
In two days, the name Ma Yue was inquired about by Yan Yu under a return visit.
Although this is Wu County, there are many men who have traveled from south to north, and although these pawn traders are from humble backgrounds, they are all familiar with people like Ma Yue, and I don't know how many times they have said it.
Qianshou of Liangzhou, who was born in a humble background, started by selling horses at first. Later, he became a disciple of Liang Hu, the assassin of Liangzhou at that time, fought the Xianbei people in northern Xinjiang, and followed Liang Hu to Luoyang for meritorious service. When the Yellow Turban was in turmoil, he followed Huangfu Song to fight the thief, and beheaded a big Qu Shuai in Dongjun, and the mainland Ze begged the head of the thief Zhang Liang in a battle, and there was no news that he was dismissed, and no one knew who he had offended.
The inspirational history of the Liangzhou barbarians. Yan Yu secretly teased Ma Yue in his heart.
Teasing is teasing, there are a few things that Yan Yu pays special attention to, and it is these things that make Yan Yu feel that the eldest brother has provoked a very great person for the family.
First, on the winter solstice of the fifth year of Guanghe, Ma Yue married the Pei family in Hedong, but he didn't know how to offend the king of Qiang, and the king of Qiang sent a killer to intercept and kill his fiancΓ©e halfway. For this reason, Ma Yue ran to kill the Qiang tribe with all his might, burned the king's tent and returned the head.
What is the concept of the Qiang King tribe, Yan Yu doesn't know. But he has seen the cottages of the Shanyue people, at least now with the Yan family's soldiers, let alone killing the chieftain, even if he enters, he can't kill it.
Second, in the sixth year of Guanghe, Ma Yue served as the left capital of the palace, and the commander of Langguan guarded the palace. During this period, the great Confucian Cai Yong escaped from Luoyang for false accusations, and Ma Yue was imprisoned in the same year. And now, three years later, Ma Yue took Cai Yong's daughter to Wuhui thousands of miles away. Yan Yu didn't know what the connection was, but he felt that Cai Yong's refusal of his brother's proposal must be related to this Ma Yue, and it was very likely that Ma Yue was imprisoned and Cai Yong escaped.
However, the more this horse guards the palace gate, Cai Yong can't escape from the palace...... Yan Yu couldn't think clearly.
These two things are things that offend people, a little bad luck is a hundred deaths, but Ma Yue is alive and well now, and his resume in the past few years, from the county lieutenant of the border county to the left of the gate of Luoyang Palace, Zuo Duhou did not know what he did after being imprisoned, and then promoted to captain, all the way like riding a fighting ship in Luoyang Vanity Fair. This Ma Yue has the support of a noble person by his side.
offended him, I am afraid that soon after he returns to Luoyang, there will be an official document sent from the imperial court to Yangzhou, even if the Yan family is in Wucheng, he has some influence in Wu County, but there are more relationships that cannot be communicated in Yangzhou. When that time comes, won't you be subject to the control of others?
If you want to control people, you must strike first.
If this Ma Yue died unknowingly in Wu County...... Looking at the two of you and me on the grass, Yan Yu licked his dry lips, bent down and stepped on the three-stone strong crossbow to string it!
