If you want to say that Ma Chao is a person who will not be recruited so easily, but if you don't care, it's enough, and if you care, it's messy. He was only thinking about how to continue the cooperation between the two sides, and ended up carelessly falling into the hands of others.

Mi Taigong told Ma Chao about the whole plan, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally nodded and agreed. For the sake of cooperation, this plan is not unacceptable, so he nodded. But what he thinks is not like that, but there is no way, it is a big deal for everyone to deal with the Tao family father and son together, so Ma Chao doesn't think about it anymore.

Mi Taigong's method, no, to be precise, Mi Zhen's method is not very complicated, but for Ma Chao, he still feels very awkward.

At this time, Mi Taigong was holding a small box in his hand, and after opening the box, he took the contents to Ma Chao, "Virtuous nephew, take this jade pendant, you also know that this is an indispensable part!" ”

Mi Taigong handed over the jade pendant to Ma Chao, Ma Chao didn't want it, but this thing is a necessary prop, and it can only be said to be very real with it, so he still accepted it without a choice.

"Virtuous nephew, tomorrow the old man, I will go to the Assassin Mansion to see Tao Gongzu and start the first step. And you have to prepare well these days, if you need to be notified, you will be notified, and when the time comes, you must behave well, don't be seen as flawed! ”

Mi Taigong told Ma Chao that Ma Chao was an important person in this plan, and if he had some problems, then don't play anything, just go to Lord Yama to play.

Ma Chao nodded, and said in his heart that this old man is too unconfident in me. Thinking about this whole world, who has seen more plays than himself, isn't it just a show, haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run, really, wait and see.

Seeing Ma Chao's confident face, Mi Taigong was much more relieved. Thinking about it again, of course the owner of the Zhan Lu Sword would not be an ordinary person, and he was indeed a little too worried.

On the third day of Ma Chao's stay in Mi Mansion, Mi Taigong set off to go to the Assassin Mansion. Xuzhou Thorn Mansion is also in Donghai County, but it is in Tan County in the East China Sea, and there is still some distance from Qu County.

After Mi Taigong arrived in Tan County, he went directly to the Assassin's Mansion to visit Tao Qian. When Tao Qian heard that it was said that Mi Taigong was visiting, he didn't understand what the other party was here for, but he couldn't see it, so he hurriedly went to the door and invited Mi Taigong in.

Tao Qianzi Gongzu, a native of Danyang, Yangzhou, is eighty years old this year. There are two sons under his knees, the eldest son, a potter, who is twenty-eight years old this year. The youngest son, Tao Ying, is twenty-four years old this year, but he can be a little stronger than his eldest brother.

Tao Qian looks kind, but if you really think that he is like this, it is very wrong. Tao Qian was born in the army, and he has been in the army for nearly 20 years, and little by little he has mixed up to where he is now. When he was young, he was definitely a decisive person, but now that he is older, he thinks more about spending his old age in peace, with children and grandchildren around his knees, and being able to enjoy many years of family fun.

In his opinion, the history of being a state assassin in this life has come to an end. There are only a dozen assassins in the whole world, and he is also a feudal official in the Han Dynasty, holding heavy power. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the emperor of one side, Tao Qian is already quite satisfied with the status quo.

However, no one will have too much money, and he also fell in love with the money of the Mi family. If he can marry the Mi family, his position in the history of assassination will only become more and more stable, and he will naturally get a lot of benefits from the Mi family.

After Tao Qian and Mi Taigong met each other, Tao Qian spoke first, "Brother, why did you come to me empty?" ”

Mi Taigong smiled, "Gongzu, we have known each other for so many years, you should understand that I have something important to come to you!" ”

Sure enough, this old guy is not good, Tao Qian thought to himself. But there was still a smile on his face, "In that case, brother, you can speak slowly." ”…,

After listening to Tao Qian's words, Mi Taigong told him all about his intentions.

He said this, "Gongzu, brother, I can't stand you, my Mi family can't stand you!" ”

Mi Taigong came out with a very guilty look as he spoke, but Tao Qian was stunned, "Where did you start with this brother?" ”

"Gongzu, you came to my house some time ago to look for me."

"Yes, I went to ask my brother for relatives that time, and my brother has already agreed, could it be that my brother wants to regret it?"

Tao Qian thought of Mi Taigong's possible intention, and his face sank at that time. No matter how you say that you are also a state assassin, a merchant Jia family dares to go back on themselves, shouldn't they be a little stronger.

"Brother Gongzu, where do you want to go, how can I go back on my word!"

"Hmph, not the best!"

"It's just that Brother Gongzu doesn't know something, and it's also my fault, I have slowly forgotten about it, so I never mentioned it to you, Brother Gongzu." Mi Taigong made a memory and told Tao Qian the matter as it was.

Mi Taigong said that he himself didn't know about this matter, but listened to his father say that there was such a thing before he died.

His father had a favorite friend when he was young, named Ma Ping, although Ma Ping did not have much ability, and he was much younger than his father, but these did not affect the friendship between the two. Although the two have different surnames, they are better than brothers. Ma Ping is the descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, and has always taken the revival of the family as his own responsibility, which is his greatest wish in life.

And the second big wish is to be able to marry the Mi family, but although his father had Mi Taigong at that time, Ma Ping had not yet married, so naturally it could not be achieved. However, his father was kind enough to his little brother, and gave one of the two ancestral jade pendants to Ma Ping, telling him that if the next generation of the Ma family had a daughter, he would take the jade pendant to Xuzhou, and Mi Taigong would marry her.

If the next generation of the Ma family only has men, then in the third generation, if the Ma family has a man and the Mi family has a woman, as long as the descendants of the Ma family come to Xuzhou with this jade pendant, the two families will marry. On the contrary, it is the same if the Ma family has a woman, and the Mi family has a man.

In this way, the two made an agreement, but later, Ma Ping was nowhere to be found. Although Mi's father also sent someone to inquire, there has been no news. But Mi's father has not forgotten the original agreement, until his deathbed he informed Mi Taigong of the matter, and told him that in the future, if the descendants of the Ma family come to Xuzhou with tokens, then they must fulfill their original promise, and the descendants of the Ma family really came with a jade pendant a few days ago.

After Mi Taigong finished telling Tao Qian, he himself admired his ability to make up nonsense, and he also brought his deceased father with him. Although it is not good to do this, he believes that his father has a spirit in the sky, and he knows that he is forced to do this for the sake of the family, and he will forgive himself, Mi Taigong is indeed not such an inflexible person.

Tao Qian's first reaction after hearing this was disbelief, why did he jump out of a descendant of the Ma family as soon as he went to ask for a kiss, this is too much of a coincidence. But if you want to say that it's all fake, Mrs. Mi's family said it well, and he also added his ancestors. Tao Qian felt that making up lies would not involve the ancestors, which was a great disrespect to his deceased father.

Tao Qian was wrong, Mi Taigong had already done whatever it took to be his son-in-law for Ma Chao to be his son-in-law, and it was a bloody investment.

Tao Qian thought about it again, in fact, whether this matter is true or not, he has become passive, but this is not wrong. It was true that they had agreed to the marriage before, but that was just verbal, and there were only themselves and Mi Taigong present at that time. If the other party refuses to admit it, both sides insist on their own words, no one has evidence, and there are no witnesses, then the matter may not be over.

The other party may not die and refuse to admit it, but now there is a Ma family, in terms of time, people agreed to it in the previous generation, and there are tokens. Yes, I know that this thing is eighty percent false, but what evidence is there to prove it? Mi's father is long gone, what can I find out, the Ma family? And what can be found out? You said that there is no such thing, but the Mi family said that there is, and there are still people, there are tokens to prove, you say that others will believe whom, anyway, most people will not believe him Tao Qian. …,

blame yourself for being too careless that day, and the verbal promise was not reliable at all, but as soon as I was happy, I was careless, so I had today's trouble. Tao Qian doesn't have time to blame himself now, since he has become passive, he can only let the family lead the way. Just wait for the other party to draw the next line, no matter what it is, just take it well.

Tao Qian said to Mi Taigong: "Brother, if you have any good solutions, just say it directly!" "He has no choice but to compromise.

"That's right, Gongzu, my Mi family must give you an explanation for this matter, it's all my personal fault!"

"Dude has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Tao Qian said expressionlessly.

"Okay, according to my personal meaning, since the boy of the Ma family and the son of the pottery merchant both want to marry my Mi family and want to marry Zhen'er, then everyone will have a fair competition, Gongzu, do you think it?"

"Fair competition? How to compete? Tao Qian asked, he also knew that Mi Taigong was going to make a move.

"The so-called fair competition naturally means that it is fair for both sides, a best-of-three system, and a three-question tiebreaker!"

"Three questions to decide the winner, which three questions?"

"The first two of the three questions are naturally literary and martial arts, Brother Gongzu, you must have heard that my family Zhen'er once said that she must marry a person who is both civil and military in this life, so the first two questions are naturally literary and martial arts!"

"Who's the questioner?" Tao Qian cares about this very much.

"If it's fair play, of course, it's fair play. I mean that Brother Gong and my family Zhen'er each have a question, as for whether it is literature or martial arts, or Brother Gong Zu chooses first! ”

Tao Qian thought to himself, let me choose first, are you so confident in the descendants of the Ma family? I choose first, I choose first, he pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, I choose to come up with martial arts!" However, I ask that anyone can be found to participate in the martial arts competition instead of the parties, and both parties can do it! ”

Because Tao Qian knows his son too well, he can't recognize all the words, so you let him compare them? It's funny, cheating doesn't have to work, and besides, you know how the knowledge of the descendants of the Ma family is, in case the other party can also do it, so no. But he thought of a way to win the martial arts, so he added the second half of the sentence.

Mi Taigong just thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement, because he was very confident in Cui An, since he could find someone to replace him, then Cui An could also play.

"Since that's the case, then my Zhen'er will come up with an essay question!" Mi Taigong said with a smile.

"That's exactly how it should be, but I don't know who came up with the third question?" Tao Qian asked the question he was most concerned about.

"This is according to the meaning of Gongzu, if you want to say this third question, only he must be old!" Mi Taigong said.

When Tao Qian heard it, how old was he? Could it be that it is ...... "Dude is talking about ......"

"Nameless old man!" The two said in unison, looking at each other and smiling.

"That's great!" Tao Qian only thought about it for a moment and agreed.

If you want to say that Wenbi's question is from Mi Zhen, the descendants of the Ma family will inevitably win this game. And Wubi is to solve the problem by himself, and the person he invites will also win the game. And the key is that the third game is the most difficult game, since it is played by an unknown old man, it is very suitable. Because this old man will never help anyone cheat, so it is absolutely fair, and I think that Mi Taigong is also a nameless old man who was recommended because of Zhilu Dao.

To say that the idea of a fair competition was conceived by Mi Zhen, but she only came up with Wenbi and Wubi, and the last competition was conceived by Mi Taigong. There are a lot of variables, but it's definitely fair.

And he also told Ma Chao about this, and Ma Chao also agreed. Because in his opinion, he may not need to win in the third game, and Mi Taigong saw that Ma Chao was so confident, and more importantly, he felt that the owner of the Zhan Lu Sword was also a person who knew astrological divination, and there was no problem at all in winning the victory, so he dared to propose that the unknown old man should solve the problem in the third game.

Speaking of this nameless old man, it is a mysterious person. No one knows his name, even he has forgotten it. And his specific age, that is definitely more than 100 years old, as for how old and other things no one knows.

So everyone calls him a nameless old man, this old man is alone, and he doesn't seem to have any relatives and friends. I rarely see him in ordinary times, so in the eyes of Xuzhou people, this nameless old man is a weirdo.

Tao Qian asked him to ask him to ask for a question as a state assassin, but there was no problem at all. It's not good that this old man can come in person, he really doesn't like crowded places, but he is very interested in interesting things and interesting things.

If it piqued his interest, then he would definitely come over.
