This is not the time of the court meeting, so except for a few deacons and eunuchs in the main hall, there are few people in the palace. But the warm atmosphere was overwhelming and unstoppable.

First, I heard the thick voices of Emperor Liu Qian and Ma Dashuai of the Great Chu and laughed loudly, and then I saw Dazai Shi Tiangong affectionately pulling the sleeves of Han Junshi's coat and foaming at the mouth, gushing endlessly, it was obvious that the two hit it off at first sight and chatted very closely.

Several people entered the hall and first saluted Liu Qian, the emperor of Great Chu.

Liu Qian stood up, stretched out his arms and walked down the steps with a red face, and said as he walked: "Fifth brother, sixth brother, haha, I haven't seen you for many days, I want to be a brother!" Excuse me, I will introduce you to a distinguished guest, this is Ma Dashuai of the Northwest Army, my brother has just decided to marry Jin Lan with him, and he will also be your brother in the future! ”。

King Pingnan and the others straightened their waists and set their eyes on the burly Ma Dashuai. Standing beside Ma Dashuai was a young woman with a good figure and a generous smile, looking at Guan Yu eagerly with two big black grape-like eyes without blinking. Tang Wannian was immediately deeply attracted by this woman's ruddy face and watery eyes, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

After everyone stepped forward to salute Ma Dashuai, the delicate woman bowed slightly to Guan Yu and said, "Apprentice to meet the master." ”

Tang Wannian was slightly stunned, and looked at Guan Yu with complicated eyes. Even Shi Dazai glanced meaningfully at this and pursed his lips and smiled.

Guan Yu nodded slightly awkwardly and did not answer.

Liu Qian stroked his palms and laughed: "No matter what you say, we are a family inside and out!" I will immediately pass on the decree, and tonight I will have a big banquet in the palace to celebrate the unity of my Red Turban Army and the Ma Family's army, and I will fight a family, and the disappearance of the Great Qi Imperial Court is not far away! ”。

When he was about to leave the door of the main hall, Guan Yu happened to pass by Ma Dashuai, Ma Maoxun glanced at him with eyes full of meaning, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he leaned over and whispered affectionately in Guan Yu's ear: "I haven't seen you for many days, don't come here to be harmed, let's have a few drinks today." ”

Guan Yu suddenly had a black line in his head, and couldn't help but glance back at his eldest brother Liu Qian, and said in his heart: My royal brother just said that he wanted to marry Jinlan with you, this is good, you call me a virtuous nephew, eldest brother, can our life not be so messy?

Tang Wannian, who had just returned to the Pingnan Palace, was about to untie his clothes, when the military teacher pushed the door in and hurriedly walked in.

Tang Wannian asked strangely, "What urgent military affairs does the military advisor have?" ”。

Fan Jin, who had white hair, gave a deep salute and said: "Lord Wang, there is a matter under your subordinates, which is more urgent than military affairs!" ”。

Tang Wannian waved his hand in surprise and invited Fan Jin to sit down, his eyes widened and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”。

Fan Jin raised his hand unhurriedly and stroked his white beard, turned his head to stare at Tang Wannian for a moment, and was not in a hurry to speak.

Tang Wannian was puzzled, and unconsciously raised his hand and touched his face, he suspected that he had something dirty on his face or a mole in an instant.

Fan Jin finally spoke: "Lord Wang, is the graceful woman beside Ma Dashuai today tempting you?" ”。

Tang Wannian's face turned red and became stuttering: "Military advisor...... Why did the military advisor say this? ”。

Fan Jin smiled slightly and said, "Lord Wang, nothing can escape my eyes." As far as the current situation is concerned, it is a foregone conclusion that my Dachu and Ma Jiajun will become allies to deal with Daqi together, and whoever can form a more intimate relationship with Ma Jiajun will be looked down upon in the eyes of the saint and Dazai, and will also decide who will take the supreme command! ”。

Tang Wannian was in a fog, and couldn't help but say: "If the military advisor has something to say, he might as well speak up." ”

Fan Jin turned around and said: "My subordinates suggested that the prince should take advantage of tonight's night banquet and the joy of Longyan to ask Ma Dashuai for marriage!" I have already inquired, and that woman is Ma Maoxun's pearl Ma Rushuang. As long as the Holy Chrysostom is opened, Ma Dashuai will naturally refute his face, and this matter will be logical, and everyone will be happy! In this way, you have the support of the saint and Dazai on the surface, and secretly have the backer of the Ma family, once the Great Qi is overthrown, the only generalissimo of the Great Chu belongs to you! ”。

After Fan Jin's dial, Tang Wannian suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly opened up. He thought for a moment and hurriedly asked, "It's good, but is this matter in a hurry?" ”。

Fan Jin shook his head and said: "Without further ado, you must make a decision immediately, lest someone copy your back road!" The king of Dingbei has taken the lead, and somehow he became the master of Miss Rushuang first, and he must be able to think of what we can think of! Based on the old man's observation, the Rushuang girl had a secret affection for the king of Dingbei in her eyes. ”

Tang Wannian was surprised: "You mean that Rushuang girl...... She likes King Dingbei in her heart? ”。

Fan Jin shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter who she likes in her heart, since ancient times, children and daughters have to obey their parents' orders and matchmakers' words." So we have to strike first! Since the Holy Lord and Lord Dazai have already secretly acquiesced in weakening the power of King Dingbei, once we act, he will naturally know it, and we just need to be a favor. In this way, Lord Wang, you have not only stabilized your position in the court, but also hugged the beauty, why not do it? . ”

Tang Wannian thought for a moment, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and nodded.

When night falls, the courtyard is deep in the palace, the lights are brilliant, the bells and drums are ringing in unison, the silk and bamboo are pleasant, and the laughter is joyful.

Liu Qian was dressed in a brand-new bright yellow dragon robe, and dragged Ma Maoxun to sit in the first place with a happy face, and Shi Dazai accompanied Han Junshi to the second seat. Because Guan Yu was familiar with Ma Jiajun's Mao Xianyi, Weng Yichun and others, he dragged Du Zhongnian to mingle with them.

Tang Wannian, Li Jingcheng and other civil and military ministers of Great Chu sat opposite them.

Ma Maoxun said to Liu Qian with a little uneasiness: "As the king of the Great Chu Kingdom, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to sit next to you, right?" ”。

Liu Qian waved his hand generously and said: "Brother Ren's words are wrong, at the banquet, there are no monarchs and ministers, only brothers, you can sit at ease!" ”。

Having said that, Ma Maoxun was still sitting on pins and needles, restless, and only relaxed after a few glasses of wine.

Ma Rushuang sat in a corner of the Ma family's generals, and from time to time passed through the swaying head and glared at the "master" who had no one in his eyes.

Guan Yu, who was unconscious, twisted his body vigorously and clinked glasses with Ma Jiajun's acquaintances, and bowed his head to Mao Xianyi beside him: "Brother Mao, this wine is not counted, I will have a separate banquet for a few brothers another day." ”

Mao Xianyi laughed and nodded again and again.

After three rounds of drinking, the singing and dancing beauty in the center of the venue retreated. Seeing that the time was ripe, the military Fan Jin got up and stood up, and walked towards Liu Qian and Ma Maoxun with a bowl of wine in his hand.

"Congratulations to the Holy Lord, congratulations to the Emperor, today there is the help of Ma Dashuai, who understands the righteousness, and my Red Turban Army is like a tiger with wings, and the overthrow of Daqi is just around the corner! On this happy day, Weichen dared to salute the two of them with a glass of thin wine and talk about their hearts. Fan Junshi bowed his head and said.

Liu Qian and Ma Maoxun glanced at each other, laughed heartily, and stood up with the wine bowl in front of them.

Just put down the wine bowl, Fan Junshi said with a smile: "Shengshang, Ma Dashuai, good things come in pairs, happy and happy." I want to ask the saint to open Chrysostom and marry the prince of Pingnan of my family. ”

Liu Qian and Ma Maoxun were both slightly stunned, Liu Qian slowly sat down and said, "Haha, when did the fifth child learn so delicately?" This is the daughter of which family, although it is said. ”

Fan Junshi put down the wine bowl in his hand, bowed deeply to Ma Maoxun, raised his head and said with a smile: "I don't know if Ma Dashuai can reward the old man with a thin face, I am willing to be a matchmaker for my prince." The prince of my family fell in love with Ling Qianjin at first sight, and he didn't think about tea and dinner. If the marshal agrees, the Red Turban Army and the Ma Jiajun will be close to each other, like a family! ”。

Ma Maoxun raised his hand and stroked his long gray beard, his face was embarrassed. He turned his face and glanced at Liu Qian, and said secretly in his heart: How could there be extraneous branches? This is not a pre-rehearsal script, what should you tell me to say about the current lyrics?

Liu Qian was also quite surprised, but he quickly figured out the twists and turns, couldn't help but smile slightly, squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Maoxun and said: "Brother Ren, my fifth brother is also good-looking, there is the courage of ten thousand people on the battlefield, and the magic arrow he shoots is invincible in the world!" And I've never been married, I don't know what you think? If you will, the widow will declare marriage to them."

Ma Maoxun rolled his eyes, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "The saint doesn't know, my girl has no mother since she was a child, she is pampered and willful, bold and reckless, and never listens to me as a father." The major events of her life are all up to her. As he spoke, he beckoned and ordered Miss Rushuang to come closer.

Ma Rushuang walked through the noisy crowd and approached and solemnly saluted Liu Qian and Ma Maoxun.

When she learned what happened, she couldn't help but change her face, first glared at her father, and then unconsciously turned her head to glance at Guan Yu, who was shouting and drinking with Mao Xianyi and others. She bit her lower lip, lowered her eyes and lowered her head to ponder for a moment, then resolutely raised her head and said: "The little girl has never met the prince of Pingnan, and I don't know his character, fortunately, my master has been with the prince of Pingnan day and night, can I ask the master's opinion before replying?" ”。

Fan Junshi's face instantly became gloomy when he heard this, but with the Holy Lord and Ma Dashuai on top, neither of them spoke, so it was even more difficult for him to say anything, so he could only bow his head and retreat to the side.

Ma Rushuang shook her long hair, turned around and strode towards Guan Yu.

Weng Yichun was the first to see Ma Rushuang coming over, and hurriedly kicked Guan Yu. Several generals of the Ma family army beside Guan Yu also put down their wine bowls and raised their heads suspiciously.

The air around them suddenly became quiet.

Guan Yu was just bent on drinking with the generals of the Ma Jiajun, and he didn't notice what was happening in front of him, and when he looked up and saw Ma Rushuang biting his lower lip, his eyes were firm, and he stood quietly in front of him, and he was also shocked in his heart, and he didn't know what this girl wanted to ask for.

Ma Rushuang solemnly bowed deeply to Guan Yu, her bright eyes stared at him, and she said in a crisp voice: "Master, the prince of Pingnan asked someone to ask my father to marry, and the saint also wants to give marriage." But Ru Shuang only has a one-sided relationship with that prince, and she doesn't know anything about his personality. In this world, only the master is the most trustworthy person in Rushuang, and Shuang'er only listens to the master! The happiness and disgrace of Shuang'er's life, but by the master's words! ”。
