At some point, snow began to fall outside, and someone came and closed the door.

Gao Yuanhe sat on the chair and looked at Shi Hu calmly, there was no wave in his eyes, and it was a long time. Gao Yuanhe asked, "General Shi, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Returning to the general, although Young Master Hongyi single-handedly persuaded Black Flag City to surrender, he can be described as a young talent, and his future is limitless. However, Ma Tangfeng, the general of the West Door, is not an ordinary person, if he asks Young Master Hongyi to greet him, I am afraid that he will think that we are contemptuous! After all, according to the rules, Ma Tangfeng is of the same grade as the general, and if he comes, we must send a deputy general to the next time so as not to lose the courtesy.

Another one, Ma Tangfeng came from Xihu, passed through as many as six or seven large and small cities, and finally arrived at the north moat, six or seven cities along the way are not familiar with Young Master Hongyi, if it is not recognized by those city lords, if there is something wrong along the way, Young Master Hongyi can not transfer troops, not to mention, if he accidentally injured Ma Tangfeng, wouldn't he lose the face of the general? Therefore, the general thought that it was inappropriate for the general to send Young Master Hongyi to meet him. ”

"There is some truth to that, so who do you think is appropriate to send to meet you?" Gao Yuanhe said meaningfully.

"If the general does not give up, the humble general is willing to go forward to meet Ma Tangfeng."

"You are indeed a candidate, but if you go, who will the safety of the northern moat be entrusted to? You are the deputy general of the northern guard, responsible for the defense of the entire northern guard, Vice General Shi. Gao Yuanhe said slowly.

Shi Hu said seriously, "If the general agrees to go to the general, the general can appoint a commander to lead for two days, after all, it doesn't take a few days to go back and forth." ”

Gao Yuanhe suddenly scolded angrily, "Nonsense! How can the city defense of the northern moat be without a battle for a day! Shi Hu, you're really getting more and more disagreeable. A few days ago, someone accused you of lax military discipline, and the general thought it was a false accusation, so he suppressed it, but I didn't expect you to take the guards of the north moat as a child's play! Also assign a commander at will, who gives you the guts! The more he spoke, the louder it became, "You say, are you still thinking about the concubine who was driven to White Horse City by me, and want to take this opportunity to have a private meeting with her!" ”

"The lowly generals don't dare, the lowly generals are really thinking about the generals."

"It's good to think about me, a few days ago, you sent someone to send a letter to your concubine in White Horse City, saying that you want to take her to the north to protect the city by welcoming Ma Tangfeng!"

Shi Hu was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect that his letter to his concubine would fall into Gao Yuanhe's hands, and he hurriedly confessed, "General, the humble general is guilty." ”

Gao Yuanhe said angrily: "How many times have I told you, stay away from those indiscriminate people, if you don't listen, one day you lose your life because of this, it's too late for you to regret it." ”

"Yes, General, the Inferior General will go back and cut off contact with the woman."

"Get up, a general who commands ten thousand households is acting coyly, what does it look like." Gao Yuanhe helped Shi Hu up as he spoke, and said with relief: "You, do a down-to-earth errand, if you like that woman and want to marry a second room, report it to me, can I still help you convince your wife?" ”

Shi Hu said gratefully: "General, the inferior general knows that he is wrong. ”

Gao Yuanhe continued, "Okay, let Yi'er go to greet Ma Tangfeng." He is my son, how could he be rude to greet Ma Tangfeng in person. Besides, it's good for Yi'er to go and meet several other city lords, so that those old guys don't have anyone in my Gao family! ”

Shi Hu nodded again and again, "The general is thoughtful, and the humble general is too thoughtful." ”

"Alright, let's go down."

Gao Hongyi watched Shi Hu leave respectfully, turned his head to look at his father, and admired it a little more.

Gao Yuanhe walked up to Gao Hongyi and sat down, "Yi'er, do you think Shi Hu is a little abnormal today?" ”

Gao Hongyi thought for a while and said, "General Shi Hu is indeed a little weird today, and he doesn't seem to be like this in the past. ”

"Yes, he has always obeyed orders, and sometimes he doesn't even ask the reason for what his father explains. But today he is so abnormal. ”

"Maybe General Shi Hu thinks that Erchen is too young to take on this important responsibility."

Gao Yuanhe said with a gloomy face: "Hmph, it would be nice if this was the case!" He said and handed Gao Hongyi a letter, "Ma Tangfeng's handwritten letter, open it and take a look." ”

"Brother Yuanhe, my brother is very yearning for your northern protection, I heard that you have beautiful horses and strong scenery over there, and my brother should take a good look at this trip, otherwise it would be a pity. Of course, I don't need you to accompany me, you are too busy, my brother doesn't dare to delay your time, you just send a deputy to the future, and you don't want to buy it, but I heard that your subordinates are all fierce and evil, and my brother can't afford to provoke it, hahahaha. ”

"See what?"

Gao Hongyi said without thinking, "This General Ma is quite funny." ”

"It's just a trick, who in the entire northwest doesn't know that he Ma Tangfeng is a personal essence, you are taking a closer look."

Gao Hongyi read it carefully again and still couldn't see anything, Gao Yuanhe smiled and said, "You, you are young after all." You tell your father that Ma Tang Feng Hyacinth said who would accompany him to visit our North Guard. ”

Gao Hongyi said seriously: "A deputy general" Suddenly he said again, "Deputy General Shi Hu"

"Yes, there is only one deputy general Shi Hu in the north who doesn't know, Ma Tangfeng is completely asking Shi Hu to accompany him by name, Shi Hu recommended himself to meet him today, this is a good show sung one after another. Yi'er, where do you say they are singing? ”

"Could it be that General Shi Hu and Ma Tangfeng have a secret relationship." Gao Hongyi was skeptical, but then he felt that it was wrong, "General Shi Hu has always been the most loyal to our family, so he shouldn't." ”

Gao Yuanhe said with a gloomy face, "People always change, which is why I asked you to greet Ma Tangfeng instead of Shi Hu." ”

"Yi'er, when you go to meet Ma Tangfeng, you must remember not to let him look at any city in my northern protection, no matter how big or small. He was not allowed to contact any city lord, and it was best to escort him all the way to the northern moat. ”

Gao Hongyi said helplessly, "Father, Ma Tangfeng is the general of Xihu after all, and he specifically said in the letter that he wants to come to our place to have a good time, if Erchen forcibly brings him over, he will definitely be dissatisfied, if he ignores Erchen in anger, how should Erchen deal with it." ”

Gao Yuanhe had a gloomy face, "This is Beigo!" It's not his horse-style Xihu Mansion! He said that he would look at what he saw, and he would do what he said, and he took himself for something. He, the general of the West Protector, wants to show off his might in the North Protector, but he is not qualified enough! If he is dissatisfied, let him be dissatisfied, in our northern protection of the territory, there is fire and he will be pressed by me!

"And when you go, you must visit the city lords along the road, so that they can see the good sons of our Gao family."

"Yes, father."

Gao Hongyi retired and left, and went back to prepare.

Li Xian walked out of the back room, looking worried, "Yuanhe, after all, Ma Tangfeng is here to make friends, if you give him a dismount like this, the relationship will not be easy to deal with in the future!" Besides, Hongyi is not easy to do, aren't you embarrassing him? ”

"Ma Tangfeng is used to being arrogant, if I don't give him some color, he still thinks I'm afraid of him!" Gao Yuanhe had a cold face, like the ice of winter, "Yi'er has been ambitious since she was a child, and she is steady in her work, but it has always been too smooth, not good!"

If Yi'er can do a good job of doing a good job truthfully, that is, he will give Ma Tangfeng a dismount, and it will show that I have a successor to protect the north, and Yi'er has real talent.

If Yi'er can't do it well, it's a big deal to accompany Ma Tangfeng, not to say that young people are not sensible. And it is a good experience for Yi'er, he is better to suffer a little rubbing now than to suffer a big loss in the future! ”

Li Xian smiled bitterly, "Yuanhe, you." ”
