Gao Yuanhe didn't like this Western Protector General Ma Tangfeng very much.

Although both of them rely on the strength of their respective families to gather the power of the rebel army. But the Gao family is still a famous eunuch family in the northwest, and his grandfather is a famous pacification envoy in the northwest, a real son of a family. And Ma Tangfeng was a wealthy man who started by doing business, gathered a group of rabble, and luckily repelled several attacks of the Western Xia Kingdom, and was canonized as a general by the imperial court. In order to celebrate, this person even sent his subordinates to search for more than ten young women to be his little wives in one day. Such a vulgar villain, Gao Yuanhe felt disgust when he thought about it.

But he knew that he had just been canonized by the Emperor of Jin as the commander of the Northern Protector Ma Sidu, and he was a general who guarded the Jinxia border at the same time, and the two would often deal with each other in the future, and they couldn't avoid it.

Now, Ma Tangfeng took the initiative to come to the door to show favor in the name of the adult, although he was unhappy, he should also fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

However, there is one more thing that makes Gao Yuanhe feel bad.

That is, the emperor sent a summoning envoy to reward him as the general of the Northern Protector, and at the same time, he also escorted his son Gao Wenxing to Yunzhong Mansion as an official. Gao Yuanhe knew very well in his heart that he was saying that he was an official, but he was actually going to take his son as a hostage.

Who in the entire City Lord's Mansion doesn't know that Gao Wenxing, as his eldest son, will inherit his family business and become the general of the Northern Protector in the future. was taken away as a hostage by the imperial court like this, how could he be willing to give it up.

However, Gao Yuanhe knew in his heart that what could he do if he was reluctant. The twelve cities in the north are high, the surface scenery is infinite, but the northwest has been in turmoil for decades, and people are panicking in order to seek peace. If it weren't for him to show favor to the Jin Kingdom in time, relying on the big tree of the Jin Kingdom, I am afraid that the current northern moat has changed hands and switched to the Western Xia, and the Gao family may also disappear, and he can only sacrifice his son for the sake of the Gao family!

However, after Mrs. Cheng knew about this, she was restless, crying all day long, and she didn't want Gao Wenxing to go, which made Gao Yuanhe uneasy.

"Yuanhe, are you worried about Hongyi's errand?" Li Xian thought that Gao Yuanhe was worried about Gao Hongyi's welcome to Ma Tangfeng, and he was obviously wrong.

Regarding the matter of his adopted son Gao Hongyi welcoming Ma Tangfeng, although Gao Yuanhe was a little bold and temporarily used the young Gao Hongyi, he still made a decision after careful consideration. Although he didn't dare to say how good Gao Hongyi could do, he was stronger than Shi Hu, after all, after a series of previous events, he had already put a question mark on Shi Hu's loyalty.

Gao Yuanhe's face was expressionless, and Li Xian continued: "In Li's opinion, although Hongyi is young, he is quick-witted and decisive, even if he can't fulfill your trust, it's better than sending Shi Hu to go." It's just that Hongyi is too competitive, and the people in Xihufu are all insidious and cunning, and they are arrogant, if they anger Hongyi, it will be difficult for the two sides to have a conflict. ”

Li Xian had something to say, Gao Yuanhe heard it, and he thought to himself: "Don't you just want to say that it's a bit reckless for me to let Hongyi do this!" Hongyi is your proud protégé, and he is still my adopted son! You are afraid that he may be hurt by Ma Tangfeng and others this time, and you are worried. But who in the entire Beihu Mansion doesn't know that he loves this adopted son the most, and how could he ever want him to bear such a burden at a young age and compete with the scheming Ma Tangfeng!

But Gao Yuanhe has no choice, for today's plan, he has no one available except Gao Hongyi, he can't let that Shi Hu, who may have two hearts, go on this errand! ”

Gao Yuanhe was a little tired, and he said: "I hope Yi'er can calm down and not be angered by Ma Jiajun's arrogance!" ”

"I hope so," Li Xian said worriedly.

The two were talking, Li Zhong was outside asking to see, and Gao Yuanhe beckoned him in.

"Master, Mr. Li." Li Zhong came in and bowed.

Gao Yuanhe looked at Li Zhong, his face was tired, but his spirit was fine, and he said in a deep voice: "Why did you come back alone?" How's the errand, Yi'er? ”

"If you go back to the master, the young master Hongyi and Ma Jiajun are resting in the pavilion outside the city, and the young master asked me to come back first and report to the master that the errands have been done according to the master's instructions."

Gao Yuanhe was a little unconvinced, "The original order? It's all done? You elaborate. ”

"It's all done, sir." Li Zhong told Gao Hongyi how to arrange for the city lord along the way to smoke the Ma Jiajun with feces, and how the Ma Jiajun suddenly turned the horse's head to go to White Horse City, and how Gao Hongyi cleverly made Ma Jiajun finally obediently follow him to the north moat and wait for 1510.

After Li Zhong finished speaking, Gao Yuanhe breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "There is a successor to the Gao family!" Yi'er is really my blessed general in the north! ”

Li Xian smiled and said, "It's the blessing of the Gao family!" ”

"That's right, just now you and I were worried about Yi'er, but now, haha, okay." Gao Yuanhe turned from worry to joy at this moment, and asked Li Zhong again, "Can Yi'er say anything else?" ”

Li Zhong said: "The young master asked his subordinates to ask the master, did they enter the city immediately, and did the master still send someone to meet Ma Tangfeng?" ”

Gao Yuanhe pondered for a moment and said, "You go and tell Yi'er and let them enter the city immediately, and the general will no longer send people to greet them." ”

"Yes!"

After Li Zhong left, Gao Yuanhe sat on the chair and pondered, his expression was a little difficult to understand, as if there was something unspeakable.

Li Xian saw it on the side and asked with concern: "Hongyi did a good job, Yuanhe should be happy, why are you worried again?" Is Yi'er not doing well? ”

"It's so well done." Gao Yuanhe smiled bitterly, "Yi'er did a good job, I should have rewarded him well, but Madame, alas! ”

Li Xian was silent, he knew in his heart that Gao Yuanhe was worried about his wife Cheng. Cheng's family was born noble, and his father was a tyrant in the southwest and grew up pampered. But this person himself is good, and he is okay with people, but the biggest shortcoming is jealousy. And she has always disliked her adopted son Gao Hongyi, how many times has she mentioned in front of Gao Yuanhe that he wanted him to kick Gao Hongyi out, if Gao Yuanhe hadn't always disagreed, I'm afraid Gao Hongyi would have become a homeless outcast at this moment.

Now, Gao Hongyi has emerged one after another, not only persuading the Black Flag City, which has always had a grudge against the Gao family, to return to obedience, but also to be commanded by Gao Yuanhe and the deputy capital of the six grades, and to complete the task of welcoming Ma Tangfeng excellently, and the scenery is unique for a while. But the Gao family also has a son-in-law, Gao Wenxing, and the errand of inspecting the cities in the north should be something that only the son-in-law can do. Now that Gao Hongyi has completely replaced her son's role, I heard that Cheng has had trouble with Gao Yuanhe several times in private, but fortunately, he was comforted by Gao Yuanhe.

But if Gao Yuanhe has to reward Gao Hongyi heavily, with Cheng's temper, I'm afraid there will be a big fuss again.

"Yuanhe is bitter in his heart!" Li Xian said secretly, but he couldn't say anything, after all, this was Gao Yuanhe's family matter. However, there is another expectation in his heart, how should Gao Hongyi, his proud protégé, deal with these things, obviously this will be of great help to his growth, and it will even affect his life if he is older.

At this time, Gao Yuanhe began to instruct people to arrange Ma Tangfeng and his party, and Li Xian retired and left.
