Chapter 165: Enough to Count

Ma He, nicknamed Sanbao, is a native of Yunnan. In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, he was captured when the Ming army attacked Yunnan, when he was only twelve years old.

The young Sanbao and his fellow villagers were both subjected to terrible palace punishments.

Many people couldn't bear this kind of physical and mental trauma, and hastily ended their unflowered lives, but Sanbao survived strongly.

He entered the palace as a small overseer, responsible for arranging the emperor's crown robes.

Clever and clever, he learned to observe words and colors, and be cautious in his words and deeds.

Two years later, Ma Sanbao entered Zhu Di's Yanwang Mansion as an attendant and served Zhu Di's diet and daily life.

His ingenuity was soon appreciated by Zhu Di. Zhu Di always likes to take him with him when he goes out, and arranges for teachers to teach him to practice literature and martial arts.

Ma Sanbao also has a sister who is four years older than him, called Ma Eryu, who is gentle and skillful, handsome and generous.

The sister and brother depend on each other for their lives and have a deep relationship.

After Ma Sanbao got Zhu Di's favor, he asked Zhu Di to take his sister who was working in the Shangshi Bureau to Yanwang's Mansion.

Zhu Di envied the deep affection between Sanbao and Eryu, so he agreed, and arranged for Ma Eryu to be Princess Yan's maid.

Two days ago, Ma Eryu was infected with a wind chill. Ma Sanbao not only wanted to accompany Ma Eryu, but also wanted to go out with Zhu Di.

Zhu Di resolutely disagreed with Ma Sanbao to go with him, he did not allow himself not to get it, and the beauty of family affection seen in Ma Sanbao was disillusioned in his heart.

Xu Miaojin stood in front of the Duanli Gate in the south of Yanwang's Mansion, and the tears that were stubbornly hidden in her eyes slipped to the corners of her eyes, which were her last hope and reliance.

The green city tower stands majestically, and the vermilion lacquer gate is noble and solemn.

They looked at Xu Miaojin indifferently, not knowing what pain was, only knowing that it was either life or death.

Xu Miaojin took a deep breath, wiped away the tears that had not had time to be presumptuous with his sleeve, and stepped forward and said to a guard officer and soldier: "I'm looking for Princess Yan, please go in and report it, and say that her sister is coming to her." ”

The officers and soldiers looked her up and down for a moment with suspicious eyes.

After confirming his judgment, he rolled his eyes and shouted impatiently, "Let's go!" Don't mess with it! ”

"Are you looking for death? Say I'm a troublemaker! Xu Miaojin put one hand on the scabbard of the sword, and pointed to the nose of the officer and soldier with the other and scolded.

Her hands trembled slightly from hunger and fatigue.

Because of her reluctance and resentment, her anger is enough to capture the next castle.

"I'm Xu Miaojin, if you don't know me, go and call the princess out!"

The officers and soldiers were instinctively stunned for a moment, and the reconfirmation of Xu Miaojin's appearance gave him confidence, he pulled out his knife and pointed at Xu Miaojin, and said, "Hurry up, if you don't roll the uncle, you're welcome!" ”

"Bastard!" Xu Miaojin roared angrily and drew his sword out of its sheath.

To deal with a guard, her three-legged cat kung fu is still more than enough.

After a few encounters, the guard's knife was taken off, and Xu Miaojin broke into the Yanwang Mansion.

She ran in front, and the guards chased after her, shouting, "There is a thief!" There are thieves! ”

The quiet Yanwang Mansion became noisy.

When the servant saw the bright sword, he did not dare to sacrifice his life for righteousness.

The few guards who remained in the palace were scattered in all corners, because they only heard their voices and did not see their people, and they scurried around like headless flies with knives.

Xu Miaojin ran through the Carrier Hall, passed through the Round Hall, crossed the Cunxin Palace, and went straight to the Middle Palace.

Xu Miaoyun was cooking soup for Ma Eryu in the courtyard of the middle palace, and Sanbao was accompanying her sister in the side hall.

"Sanbao, there seems to be some sound outside, you go out and take a look!"

The medicine spilled out, and Xu Miaoyun lifted the lid while blowing the water vapor drilled into his eyes.

"Yes, Princess!" Ma Sanbao carried a knife and ran out of the side hall.

"Sister! Sister! "There was a fiery cry outside the courtyard wall.

Xu Miaoyun was shocked and stood up suddenly, still carrying the lid of the pot in her hand.

Before she was about to take a step, Xu Miaojin rushed into the courtyard, rushed to Xu Miaoyun, hugged her tightly and cried.

"Miaojin, what's wrong?" The lid fell to the ground and shattered into rubble.

Xu Miaoyun touched her sister's messy hair, and her heart turned into a twist.

"Sister! Woo! "Wronged, sad, hesitant, unable to confide in words, Xu Miaojin can't say anything except shouting at her sister and crying.

Xu Miaoyun patted her sister's back understandingly, comforted her, and asked about her ugly figure without urging.

Ma Sanbao has been waiting on the sidelines, not daring to leave.

This kind of crying and fussing formation, there is a man present, maybe there is a place for use.

The guards probed their brains outside the door, and Ma Sanbao was discharged from the hospital to ask.

The guards learned that the unkempt thief was really the princess's sister, and hurried away.

After crying for half an hour, Xu Miaojin gradually calmed down and let go of her sister.

After the storm of tears and snot, her face was unrecognizable.

Xu Miaojin brushed her sister's hair, pulled it behind her ear, wiped the stains and tears with a silk handkerchief, and waited patiently for Xu Miaojin to speak.

"Sister, something happened! The palace ......" Xu Miaojin didn't want Xu Miaoyun to worry, so he stopped suddenly.

Xu Miaoyun has never been in charge of political affairs, so what's the use of talking to her about this? It's better to find your brother-in-law as soon as possible.

"Where's my brother-in-law? I want to see him! ”

"Your brother-in-law just left half an hour ago, and my father ordered him to conquer the Northern Yuan."

"What? I, I've got to go after him! Xu Miaojin was dizzy and walked in the direction of the well, which she regarded as a gate.

"Miaojin, don't move!" Xu Miaoyun dragged Xu Miaojin along, "You are not allowed to go anywhere, look at what you have become now?" Go grab a bite to eat, freshen up again, and get some rest! ”

"No, sister, no, something happened...... I, I have to ask my brother-in-law to find someone who can detoxify! ”

"Someone who will detoxify? Wait for Redstone to come back! ”

"Redstone? Who is he? Will he detoxify? ”

"Hehe, look at you, you're either hungry and stupid, or tired and stupid! It's a stone! Who else but him will detoxify? ”

"Stones?" Xu Miaojin looked at Xu Miaoyun stunned.

"Well, he changed his name."

"Stone!" Every pore on Xu Miaojin's body was full of surprise, and she clenched her fists nervously, "The stone is here?" ”

Xu Miaoyun shook her head.

Xu Miaojin's heart hung in his throat, he didn't dare to come out, and his eyes didn't dare to blink.

"He went with your brother-in-law."

"He's alive?" Xu Miaojin asked cautiously.

"Silly girl, of course he's alive." Xu Miaoyun looked at her sister with a smile, puzzled why her sister had behaved since she appeared in front of her.

"What about the master? What about Daoyan? Xu Miaojin's surprise was about to come out.

"He's alive too!" Xu Miaoyun smiled and brought good news one after another.

The spring light in the courtyard of the middle palace of King Yan's mansion is particularly bright.

The willow branches are spitting out tender buds, the peach trees are holding stamens, and the cockroaches on the top of the arch are full of vitality, as if they can't wait to jump on the verdant glazed tiles and fly to the boundless sky.

Xu Miaojin tilted her head, closed her eyes, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The stone lives! The master is alive! She muttered to herself.

The sun passed through her eyelashes, through her eyelids, and shared the joy in her heart.

Xu Miaoyun hurriedly asked his subordinates to prepare the meal.

She didn't know the big thing in Xu Miaojin's heart, Xu Miaojin was tired and hungry, it was her big thing.

Xu Miaojin, who was in a smooth mood, ate the food that he usually ate in two meals in one go, Xu Miaoyun was satisfied, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"Sister, I'm going to chase my brother-in-law's army!" Xu Miaojin suddenly put down his chopsticks.

"What? You ......" Xu Miaoyun finally knew that she had to worry about much more than just a meal.

"No, what should I do if something happens to one of your girls on the road?" Xu Miaoyun was full of emotion, and showed her housekeeping skills, but she knew that this might not be able to bluff Xu Miaojin.

"Sister, I know you're worried about me, but my life is at stake, I must go!"

Ma Sanbao passed by with the medicine jar and walked into the house after hearing the conversation between the two sisters.

"Princess, the villain is willing to accompany the county lord!"

"Sanbao, what are you fooling around? It's none of your business, get out! Xu Miaoyun grimaced.

"No, Sanbao, you go with me!" Xu Miaojin picked up the sword and ran out of the house, "Sister, I'm sorry, I must go, I'll explain to you when I come back!" ”

Before the sky was completely dark, Xu Miaojin and Ma Sanbao saw the dust flying in front of them from a distance.

"County Lord, there should be His Highness's army in front."

"Okay, catch up!" Xu Miaojin slapped the whip hard. In a moment, she left Ma Sanbao behind and rushed to the side of the team by herself.

An officer in the team found that an outsider had broken in, and immediately rushed out of the team to stop Xu Miaojin: "Stop!" Where are you from? ”

The officers glared at each other, their eyes wide enough to find a needle on the ground.

"I'm looking for stones!" Xu Miaojin glanced at the officer and rushed forward on his own.

Xu Miaojin's contempt for him made him angry, and he raised his whip and galloped, shouting: "There are no stones here, where did you come from?" ”

"I'm not fine, I'm looking for King Yan!"

When the officer saw her, she said that she was looking for a stone, and that she was looking for King Yan, and her behavior was very suspicious, so he immediately took out a knife to stop Xu Miaojin.

"You're going to delay me, you look good!" Xu Miaojin was anxious and white-faced, she was fed up with these soldiers who strictly abided by military discipline, and they always got in the way of her business.

"Team Zhang!" Ma Sanbao rushed forward, "This is the county lord, let's find His Highness and General Gu!" ”

The officer turned around and saw Ma Sanbao, and quickly put down the knife in his hand: "Master Ma, who are you?" ”

"It's okay, you don't have to pay attention. The county lord and I rushed to the front of the team to find His Highness. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Du's team thought that he was unlucky, thinking that he could invite credit for catching the fine work, and now Xu Miaojin did not sue him in front of King Yan, that was his blessing.

The line was very long, and Zhu Di, Shi Shi and Dao Yan at the front had already dismounted, ready to find a place to set up camp.

Zhu Di leaned over, one hand pressed his stomach tightly, and several pearl-sized beads of sweat on his forehead quickly formed a string, sliding down his eyebrows to the tip of his nose, and finally sinking into the mud.
