The old housekeeper of the He Mansion stepped in gently, bowed his head and reported: "Madam, Mrs. Ning from Marshal Ma's Mansion came to visit with gifts. ”

Mrs. He hurriedly got up and said, "Please." As he spoke, he walked to the door, his face full of smiles.

Mrs. Ning walked in, and when she saw Mrs. He who came forward, she hurriedly walked a few steps, and said with a smile in her eyes: "Sister, is she in good health recently?" ”。

While hurriedly returning the salute, Mrs. He affectionately pulled Mrs. Ning's sleeve and sat down, and turned around to urge the housekeeper to serve tea quickly.

After Mrs. Ning sat upright, she glanced left and right, and asked in a low voice, "Master He is not in the house?" ”。

Mrs. He nodded and smiled: "He's out, good sister, how are you lately?" When will Ma Dashuai return, but there is definite news? ”。

Mrs. Ning smiled and shook her head, bowed her head and said, "It's okay to come to the door today, the marshal told me to come and see you every other day before I set out for the expedition, if you need help, just ask." ”

Mrs. He replied with a smile: "Thank you Ma Dashuai and my good sister for taking care of us all these years, we are all very good." I heard a few days ago that Miss Rushuang is back? ”。

Mrs. Ning nodded with a flickering gaze and said, "Well, Shuang'er went out for a walk, and after she returned, she became much more sensible." Today, I was specially reminded to visit my sister. ”

Mrs. He sighed softly, glanced at Mrs. Ning quickly, and said, "My family ran away in a bad mood, and I haven't returned yet, which makes my master angry enough." Fortunately, a few days ago, he assigned Ah Fu to come back and report his safety, saying that he had a place to stay. Good sister, I beg you something, my family will come back in the future, but don't let your Rushuang girl do anything to him again! ”。

Mrs. Ning's eyes suddenly turned red, and she quickly turned her face away, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. Turned around and said, "Don't worry, sister, Shuang'er has grown up, I promise that she will never move a finger of that child in this life, but you have to take care of your body more." ”

Mrs. He let out a long breath from her chest, feeling deeply relieved in her heart, and then smiled.

A layer of fine sweat broke out on Ma Chengen and Ma Rushuang's foreheads, and the two of them galloped side by side, while each of them held a smooth-cut white wooden stick in their hands.

"Look at the move!" Ma Chengen let out a low roar, shook the wooden stick in his hand, and took the lead in stabbing towards Rushuang's front door.

Ma Rushuang unhurriedly raised the stick to block it, and with a "snap", the two wooden sticks collided together, making a crisp sound.

The two of them have been fighting back and forth for dozens of rounds, Ma Rushuang bit her lower lip, raised her eyebrows, and suddenly changed her moves, the wooden stick in her hand seemed to have spirituality in an instant, and she shook her head and tail and pounced towards Ma Chengen.

Ma Chengen was taken aback, he found that the white wooden stick in Sister Rushuang's hand suddenly changed color, turning into a small pink trumpet, and a series of small plum petals spit out from the center, floating from place to place, dizzying.

Before he could come to his senses, there was a "bang", and his waist was hit lightly and heavily, and as soon as his hand was released, he fell from the horse to the dust.

Miss Shuang'er circled her horse back, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "Are you okay?" ”。

Ma Chengen, who was sitting on the ground, angrily clasped his hands and held his knees, looked up and asked, "I also practice hard every day, and you also practice every day, why can't I beat you?" ”。

The frost girl on the horse smiled slightly, her face was like a flower, and her pointed chin was raised proudly. Stretched out his right hand and handed over the wooden stick in his hand, and said: "You need to use skill to practice martial arts, you don't want to improve if you practice hard, you have to use here, this is what my master taught me." ”

She tilted her little head and tapped her temple with the fingers of her left hand.

Ma Chengen pursed his lips, unconvinced, reached out and grabbed the wooden stick and stood up, slapped the dust on his buttocks twice, and sighed: "Come on, admit defeat in betting!" Say, what do you want to eat at noon, I'll treat you. ”

Ma Rushuang raised her head and thought for a moment, lowered her head and said with a light smile: "Forget it, let's go to that noodle restaurant, let you go today, and in two days, you will pretend to cry poor in front of me and cheat my pocket money." ”

The sister and brother urged the horse to slow down, entered the city, walked around a few alleys, and came to the door of a noodle restaurant. The two walked into the noodle shop and sat down at a table near the window.

Ma Rushuang glanced back at the chubby chef, and suddenly remembered that in the winter of that year, he also came to this noodle restaurant with his stingy ghost master, and he was also sitting next to this table near the window, and suddenly his mind became trance:

After Guan Yu and Ma Rushuang sat down opposite each other, Guan Yu raised his head and smiled evilly: "What? Since you worship me as a teacher and rob me of my sword, shouldn't you have a light meal for your teacher? ”。

Ma Rushuang on the opposite side glared at him, and said with a smile: "Master's words are wrong!" That sword is a token that you gave me to show that you accepted me as a disciple and cannot be repented of, how can you say that I robbed it? Forget it, don't bother with you stingy guy, please eat a bowl of noodles and settle it! ”。

Guan Yu opened his mouth wide, stared around, and was speechless.

As his gaze wandered around, he stared curiously at the chubby cook. I saw that this benevolent brother was wearing a short coat in winter, with horizontal eyebrows, waving his fists and pounding and smashing the dough on the table, as if he had a deep hatred.

After kneading vigorously for a long time, he grabbed the dough, which looked firm, and threw it into a tin box full of sieve holes. Then he stepped aside, sat down on a thick wooden pole with his legs raised, and used his weight to press the wooden pole together.

A round wooden hammer was embedded at one end of the wooden pole, and with a loud sound of "tom, tom", the falling wooden hammer hit the iron box full of sieve holes. The dough in the tin box was violently squeezed into thin strips, peeking out of the sieve and landing in the hot soup pot below.

After a while, a bowl of steaming noodle soup was served in front of Guan Yu. Guan Yu looked down and saw that some minced meat, chopped green onions, and some thin and incredible egg slices and other condiments had been placed in the cooked noodle soup.

I put a chopstick in my mouth, and the noodles were full of gluten, and they "crunched" when chewed. Guan Yu smiled, nodded again and again, and said, "It's delicious!" Playful! What is this called? ”。

Seeing that he was eating happily, Ma Rushuang couldn't help but cover her lips and smile, and said: "This is called atmospheric noodles, and people won't be stingy anymore after eating." ”

Guan Yu gave a thumbs up without raising his head, and said inarticulate while sucking: "It makes sense, you can keep that sword with peace of mind, let's settle it!" ”。

Ma Rushuang's face was slightly red, and she tried her best to hold back a smile, looking out the window with a sideways face. At that time, it was snowing outside the window, and the originally ugly and dry branches looked so crystal clear, covered in silver, and extremely enchanting.

"Sister Rushuang, what are you thinking about?" Ma Chengen's call woke up the pensive Ma Rushuang, she gathered her mind, looked up at the window, and did not answer.

Ma Chengen turned his head to see that there was no one outside, and asked in a low voice: "I heard Uncle Gao say that that He Gongzi is unlucky...... Is it true? ”。

Ma Rushuang's face darkened, lowered her eyes and nodded lightly, and then sighed softly.

Ma Chengen slapped the case indignantly: "What kind of bullshit is that ten thousand ghosts, it's really hateful!" If I have the opportunity, I will wipe it all out, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, why did the son take revenge, and also for my sister, you have this evil breath! ”。

At this time, a subordinate hurriedly entered, came to the table of the two and bowed his head and said: "Young master, eldest lady, the master sent a fast horse to deliver the letter back, Mrs. Ning asked the two of you to return home quickly, there is a happy event." ”

When the two sisters and brothers returned home, Mrs. Ning stood up with a smile and said, "Your father has been canonized as the king of one word by the current saint, and he will soon lead the triumphant division back to his hometown, and we can finally be reunited as a family and never be separated." From now on, the world will be peaceful, and there will be no more wars, Amitabha! ”。

Ma Chengen frowned when he heard this: "What a happy event I should have!" The strength of my Ma Jiajun is not weak, why should I share the country with Dachu? Replace it! ”。

Hearing this, Mrs. Ning sank her face and said displeasedly: "Hugh is talking nonsense! ”。

Ma Rushuang asked eagerly and softly, "Can my father's letter mention the news of the king of the Great Chu Dingbei?" ”

Mrs. Ning glanced at her meaningfully, chuckled and shook her head slightly.

Ma Chengen said strangely: "Who is the king of Da Chu Dingbei?" ”。

He saw that Sister Rushuang's face turned red, and he quickly turned around. He patted himself on the head and said, "Oh, I see! It's my sister's little white-faced master, right? He dares to make his sister angry, and I will clean him up like me! ”。

Ma Rushuang turned around abruptly and blurted out without thinking: "You dare! ”。

As soon as the words came out, he suddenly felt that he was speechless, and hurriedly added: "He is no longer my master for a long time, he is just a stingy ghost with no conscience!" My sister actually wanted to say...... Brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to beat him! ”。

On the grassland for thousands of miles, that incorruptible and shameless, conscienceless stingy ghost, Guan Yu, the king of the North of Great Chuding, was frowning tightly at the moment, at a loss.

After the first battle, General Guan discussed the tactics of the next day with Xuanwu General Zhang Baiqian and Deputy Generals Du Zhongnian and Cui Dakui overnight. As soon as the soldiers under his command recovered their vitality, they attacked with all their might, annihilated the grassland barbarians, and quelled the rebellion in the border fortress as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the enemy army was not assembled. The horses returned to report that the enemy camp was empty except for some empty tents. In the vast grassland, people and land are both born, and it may be even more difficult to find the traces of the enemy army for a while and a half.

With the lesson of Zhai Longbiao, the king of Guanxi, who was alone in the blood, Guan Yu did not dare to divide his troops easily. Standing still and waiting for the rabbit is not a solution. This long drive into the country, the grain and grass brought are limited, and Feihong Pass is far away from here, and if you want to transport grain and grass over, it is very easy to be ambushed on the way.

When he was in a dilemma, suddenly his subordinates came to report: it was said that there were several fierce people outside the door who wanted to go to Dachu and assist the Dachu army to find the main force of the grassland coalition as soon as possible and annihilate it.

Guan Yu was suspicious, glanced at the generals left and right, smiled slightly, and waved his hand calmly: "Whether it's true or not, invite them to come in and meet first!" ”。
