At the end of March of the second year of Zhongping, Ma Yue rode alone from Youzhou to Liangzhou, and after meeting with Yang Feng in Longguan, he passed through the war zone and returned to the foot of Zhangshan Mountain in Qingming to pay tribute to Pei Yinger and Gu Taer.

Then came a long journey back to Luoyang.

Only this time, he won't stay for long.

Originally, I had some expectations when I entered the city, but these days when I am away from home, it is certain that there is less popularity at home. But every time he went home, there seemed to be new guests, and Ma Yue led the horse along the way, thinking about whether there would be any wild bees and butterflies attracted by Cai Yan when he went home this time.

As a result, Ma Yue was disappointed, and the former door was gone. Not a single carriage stopped at the door of the house, and the vermilion gate was closed, and the grass was about to grow in front of the door.

Liang Hu and Ma Yue, the male hosts of the mansion all went to Youzhou, where can there be anyone popular in this mansion?

Tie the horses well, Ma Yue walked to the door of the house and knocked gently, the door was opened by the eagle slave horsepower, the Qiang people's hair was wrapped in a turban, the clothes on the body were cut and suitable for the materials, and it really looked like a wealthy family.

As soon as Ma Ma saw that it was Ma Yue, his bored face immediately became a lot more colorful, and his smile was as bright as a flower, and he shouted: "Little Ma Ma greets the master!" Master, you're back, Ma Yu, Ma Yu! The master is back, go and tell the lady in the back house, ma'am, the master is back! ”

"Shhhhh

The whole of the house, including Guan Yu Yang Feng and others, called Ma Yue as the lord when he called them, in order to show their identity as the generals, even the twenty retinues of An Mu were all called the lord. Only this Ma Yu horsepower two little Qiang eagle slaves, every time they see Ma Yue, they must be called the master, but these two people also have the technology of their own falconry lackeys, and they can be said to be capable people.

Ma Yue told the two of them many times, asking them to change their names to the lord, but the two of them didn't, they felt that it was more intimate to call the master, and they had no ambitions.

As he spoke, Ma Ma had already whistled, and suddenly an eagle slashed down from the four-man tall tree in the courtyard and landed firmly on his arm.

A few years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the two big eagles that Cheng Yi gave him back then have fully grown up, with two meters of open wings, and the horsepower is tearing the jerky one by one.

Ma Yue saw the jerky, picked up one and looked at it and asked, "Ah Li, how is this jerky?" ”

"Back to the master, there are many people in our family during the New Year, and in their spare time, those people who take a sheep for three days and a pig for five days are pulled from the market to their homes, and these small eagles and dogs in captivity always cut off a few catties, washed and dried to feed them."

"It's not." Ma Yue waved his hand, Ah Li was afraid that he would blame him for taking meat indiscriminately, and seeing that he would be mistaken Ma Yue hurriedly said: "Ah Li, you say...... How about this jerky as military rations? A horse bag can be eaten for half a month, so there is no baggage left. ”

Ma Li glanced at his master, and then understood his thoughts, but in an instant, he looked at the jerky, and then shook his head with a smile and said, "Master, it's not that the small one says no, this is really feasible...... But no matter how a cavalry man says a day, he has to eat two catties of grain, how much he has to eat just to eat meat, and a pig is only enough for a man to eat for twenty years. Isn't it possible to go out and slaughter a thousand pigs at once? Even His Majesty is reluctant. ”

When Ma Yue heard this, this was indeed the case.

This price is too expensive, but I am afraid that Cheng Yinchengyi's tribal chiefs will not be able to stand it.

Putting down the jerky, Ma Yue teased the big eagle for a while, turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard, he wanted to see Cai Yan.

But he didn't want to, he hadn't opened the door of the inner courtyard yet, and Cai Yan and Mrs. Pei had just walked out of the inner house.

"Master, Yan...... Miss Cai. ”

When he went to Youzhou, he always thought about the beautiful scenery of Jizhou along the way, and he always thought how good it would be if he browsed with Yan'er.

But when he really saw Cai Yan, he couldn't call Yan'er anyway.

It's like Cai Yan never called him San Lang.

There has always been a chasm between the two.

"Ma Jun is back, all the way is fine."

Compared with Cai Yan, Mrs. Pei was much kinder to this disciple, reached out and patted the floating soil on Ma Yue's shoulder, and said with a smile: "San Lang is back, after you and your husband left, there is no life in this house, just come back, just come back." ”

"Mrs. Lao is worried, and she is not filial. Mr. has now settled down in Youzhou, and the student will stay in Youzhou to protect Mr. Cheng's safety, Mr. Cheng Fuzi gives advice to Mr., and at the same time recommends several Youzhou heroes who are good at fighting for Mr. to drive, and Mr. does not have to worry. ”

Liang Hu was very satisfied with Ma Yue, but Mrs. Pei was not, Ma Yue never needed her to open her mouth to know what she was worried about.

Mrs. Pei said with a smile: "It's still San Lang, you are reliable, and with your assistant husband, your foolish Mr. can not teach people to worry so much." Go and freshen up, and look at your dusty journey. It's been a few months since the New Year, so why are you still wearing last year's old clothes? ”

Ma Yue looked at the clothes on his body, not to mention last year, this was still in Liangzhou when his sister-in-law personally knitted it, the poor family's craftsmanship is good, the side knots are sewn with three layers of thread, and there is no place to open the thread until now, naturally I don't feel anything wrong, scratching my head and laughing: "I fought a year last year, and I didn't have the opportunity to wear this idle clothes, clothes...... It's not broken, so just keep wearing it if you can still wear it. ”

"That's not good, Saburo, in terms of age, it should have been crowned last year. My niece is miserable, but you can't keep doing it. How can a man be able to do it without a woman around him. Mrs. Pei didn't smile, but her tone was very sincere, she was Pei Ying'er's aunt. Sighing, Pei Shi said: "These days, the old body has woven some cloth, and I have made clothes with San Lang and put them in your room, go and freshen up, and put them on to see if they fit......"

"No, I'm tired of my wife."

Cai Yan looked at Ma Yue's departing back and carefully looked at his feet from his head. Only then did he take Mrs. Pei's arm and walk towards the inner house, and asked in a low voice, "Madam, why didn't Ma Jun follow the Liang Mansion Junshi Youzhou this time?" ”

Pei always said that Ma Yue was the most filial and the most astute. So this time Ma Yue did not stay in Youzhou, which made Cai Yan very puzzled.

Pei Shi smiled: "Men's affairs, what do we care about so much, as long as he remembers this family in his heart." San Lang put all his subordinates to official positions, and the rest of the capable ones were placed in Youzhou to help Mr. Lin, he didn't forget this family, it was his filial piety. ”

"I'm afraid that the old body is ...... The previous war made Saburo tired. ”

Indeed, back then, Ma Yue hugged before and after, Yang Feng hugged the sword when he came out, and Guan Yu brought a knife when he entered. When these Xiliang rangers first came to Luoyang, everyone saw Ma Sanlang with a sinister face and felt that this murderer from Liangzhou would do something big at any time.

But now the scene of the year is gone, Ma Yue is alone and only one person and two horses have traveled thousands of miles, he is no longer covered with frost, and when he sees people, he knows to smile and salute, and his words are full of humility. Everyone felt that this once ambitious and obedient man had been smoothed out by the prosperous capital of Luoyang.

He no longer thinks about doing something big lawlessly, and he no longer gathers heroes to recruit warriors.

In fact, Ma Yue is still Ma Yue, Luoyang's crooked Shenshui River failed to extinguish the fire in his heart, and he still wants to go one level further when he gets ahead.
