At the table, a man stood up and smiled at a young woman dressed in a blue dress with a faint smile.

At this time, the young woman's face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly bowed: "The slut has seen the lord. ”

As soon as these words came out, the big man who was laughing just now, and the rather heroic man in a white robe next to him immediately turned around and bowed to everyone.

"I'll see my lord!"

Seeing that the person who came was Ma Zongheng, he waved his hand lightly and found a place to sit down very casually: "Okay, they are all their own brothers, no need to be polite." It's so much good wine, I'm afraid that this red ghost will hurt enough when he sees it. ”

"Haha, it's rare to have fun tonight. My sister-in-law just now specially instructed me to wait for a drink and go back! Gao Ran, who had always been accustomed to his own way, was not polite, and immediately sat down and laughed loudly.

When Ma Zongheng heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and Ying Ying laughed. And the young woman was naturally Pound's wife, Chen.

But it was said that Chen was taken aback by Gao Ran's words, and hurriedly resigned, bowed and said: "The slut is presumptuous for a while, and she doesn't choose what to say, how dare she order the lord, and ask the lord not to blame." ”

The Chen family has always been virtuous, and naturally it is not as bold as Gao Ran said. Ma Zongheng laughed a few times when he heard it, but he also called Chen his sister-in-law like everyone else.

"Haha, sister-in-law, don't be polite. Red Devil is a good brother who has been on the battlefield with me for many years, and he and I have never paid attention to so much red tape in private, if I am not afraid of people gossiping, I would rather him respect me as a brother than treat me as a lord. Ma Zongheng's words from the bottom of his heart were very sincere and unpretentious. Pound, who was on the side, listened to it, and couldn't help but think of the days when he fought side by side with Ma Zongheng over the years, and finally created such a huge foundation, and Ma Zongheng became one of the hottest princes in the world in one fell swoop, but he was still the same as he always had with his brothers, or even better, and he was always grateful for the good of his brothers. The more he thought about it, the more Pound felt that his heart was hot, and even his eyes were hot.

Chen didn't expect Ma Zongheng to say such a thing, so he was dumbfounded for a while, and he didn't know how to answer. At this time, Zhang Liao had a rare laugh: "Sister-in-law is not a guest tonight?" Now you don't have to pay attention to me and wait, you can go and greet her. ”

"Ahh Chen was reminded by Zhang Liao, but suddenly saw a servant who was setting up a lantern not far away, so he was unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but scream in fright at this look. Everyone was also taken aback by Chen's surprise, Ma Zongheng saw this, and thought that Chen's guest was very important, because he was slacking off for a while, and exclaimed, and then smiled: "Hey, there is no need to be so troublesome. Sister-in-law might as well call her along, this crowd is also lively. ”

"Yes, yes!" When Chen heard this, he became anxious, and his eyes did not forget to glance at the servant a few times. Ma Zongheng's eyes were so keen, he quickly understood, turned his head to the servant and smiled: "That little brother, if you don't dislike it, why don't you come over and drink together?" ”

"Lord, this is a small servant, it doesn't fit the etiquette." Seeing this, Gao Ran couldn't help but be stunned, although Ma Zongheng didn't care about these, but this dignified general of Zhengbei actually sat and drank with a servant, if it was spread out, it would definitely be laughed at, and it would be deliberately used by those scribes to make a big fuss. In recent years, because Ma Zongheng's power has become more and more huge, many scribes have begun to criticize Ma Zongheng in dance and ink, of course, most of them are secretly instructed by princes from all over the world, but there are also many so-called patriotic martyrs who are self-motivated, and even in order to express his loyalty to the court and Ma Zongheng's hatred, some words are still very sharp and vicious. Increasingly, this has a very bad impact on Ma Zongheng's reputation, and his criticism of Ma Zongheng is becoming more and more sharp near the capital of Luoyang, and even many scribes have secretly shouted the slogan of crusading against Ma's thieves.

In this regard, Wang Lang, Yanzhou Beijia, was quite worried, and specially revised the book to remind Ma Zongheng to restrain himself and implement more benevolent policies that are beneficial to the people's livelihood. Wang Lang is a contemporary sage, Ma Zongheng can naturally listen to his words, and immediately reduce taxes, now Yanzhou's taxes can be said to be the lowest in the whole world, and Ma Zongheng sent people to build a dry water conservancy project, sure enough, not long after, there was a lot less condemnation of Ma Zongheng.

"Haha, my horse is fighting in all directions, what a difficult thing has not been experienced? Now that he can't even eat, what's the point of living? That little brother, you say yes or no. Ma Zongheng laughed, and suddenly his eyes became sharp, and he looked at the servant who was turning around, deliberately bowing his head and not showing his face.

Chen couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw it, and hurriedly cast a look at Pound. Pound hurried to persuade him: "This! My lord, I see! ”

But before Pound finished speaking, Ma Zongheng waved his hand to stop him. But seeing that the brilliance of Ma Zongheng's eyes was getting brighter and brighter, he had a hunch for some reason that this servant was a guest of the Chen family, and this person did not hesitate to disguise himself as a servant just to observe them from the sidelines.

"Humph!" At this time, Zhang Liao suddenly snorted coldly, and the momentum on his body suddenly rose, and Pang De couldn't help but change his expression in fright, and he hurriedly cast a look at Chen.

"Hehe, the general of Zhengbei invited so sincerely, and the little woman is not welcome~!" At this time, the servant suddenly raised his head, and Ma Zongheng, Zhang Liao, and Gao Lan saw it, and their faces changed drastically. Speaking of which, these people are all characters who stand up to the sky and the earth, and are not afraid of the sky, how can they be frightened by a little woman?

But I saw that the little woman was about fifteen or six years old, tall and slender, but her face was covered with dense bean skin, and her teeth were yellow and uneven.

"Wow!! Where did the demon come from~~!! I won't even sit at the same table with her even if I die!! Gao Ran could not keep his composure, and was so frightened that he even jumped up and fled from his seat. Zhang Liao's face tightened, he couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and he wanted to leave in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to run away.

"Moon!!" Chen was in a hurry, just to shout. The woman shouted, "Sister Min'er! Could it be that you also think that my Xiaoying is embarrassed? ”

Seeing that the woman widened the only good-looking big eyes on her body, under the attack of the pair of watery eyes, Chen couldn't help but hesitate, and thought of the family in distress back then, if she hadn't saved her, I am afraid that more than a dozen members of her family would have died a long time ago, thinking of this great kindness, the kind-hearted Chen thought in his heart, even if he risked his life, he couldn't let her benefactor be wronged in the slightest, and hurriedly said: "Sister Xiaoying has great kindness to my Chen family, how can I dislike you?" As long as I'm here, no one can bully you unless I die! ”

After that, Chen was afraid that the woman would be harmed by evil words again, so he hurriedly ran to the woman's side, hugged her, frowned, and stared at Ma Zongheng and the big man. Pang De was anxious, he was afraid of offending his wife, but he was afraid of offending Ma Zongheng and Zhang Liao.

"Boyi!" Ma Zongheng suddenly shouted.

"In!" Gao Ran was taken aback and hurriedly agreed.

"This is the home of the red ghost, but you insult the distinguished guest of your sister-in-law, it is reasonable, you should make a compensatory to others!" Ma Zongheng's face was solemn, and he glanced at Gao Ran. Gao Lan's heart jumped, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly looked at him, and bowed to the woman respectfully: "The right person is high at a certain time, and he has a quick mouth, offending the girl, if he is offended, I hope the girl will not mind, and I will bow to Gao here!" ”

"Hehe, General Zhengbei is so majestic, as soon as he gave an order, the dignified General Shangyi apologized to the little girl. However, General Shangyi was beaten by Guan Yu not long after, and soon after fleeing back to Pingshou, he was frightened by the army in Xuzhou and fled to abandon the city. If I were you, I would have no face to come back to see General Zhengbei. "I don't know that this little woman has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and she has just been scolded by Gao Ran, so she seized the opportunity and immediately fought back, and every sentence was right in Gao Ran's weakness. Gao Ran heard it, although he was angry in his heart, but he was more ashamed of Ma Zongheng, although Ma Zongheng said that he ordered him to abandon Qingzhou, so he couldn't blame. But because of this, Gao Ran felt even more guilty, and as soon as the little woman said it, he suddenly turned around and knelt down to Ma Zongheng in anger, and bowed his head: "The last general is incompetent, and please ask the lord to surrender!" ”

"This woman is very good, just a few words to say that the always calm Boyi is out of control, and even does not hesitate to kneel down in front of everyone to plead guilty." Ma Zongheng couldn't help but squint slightly, more interested in the identity of this little woman, and at the same time smiled at Gao Ran: "Boyi, the situation in Qingzhou at that time seemed to be a dead end, you have done your best, how can I blame?" Am I willing to see you lead your troops to fight with the Xuzhou army and die innocently? Won't I lose a general? ”

Ma Zongheng said lightly, and he was even more moved when he said it, and he couldn't help but burst into tears again. Ma Zongheng glared at this time, and scolded: "Get up for me, don't be ashamed again!" ”

When Gao Ran heard this, he quickly put away his tears and stood aside. At this time, Zhang Liao seemed to be angry because of Gao Lan's number of the little woman, and his eyes couldn't help but become a little cold, and his face was tense. When the little woman saw it, she pretended to be afraid, and hurriedly shrank behind Chen's back, and shouted timidly: "Sister Min'er, do you see that is the first fierce general under the command of General Zhengbei, who recently beheaded Wen Chou and tied with Xiahou Yuan, the general of the Cao Army?" You see that his eyes are so sharp, Ying'er is very scared. ”

"Sister Ying'er, don't be afraid, General Zhang is a downright person, I believe he will not embarrass a weak woman." It is said that Chen's real name is Chen Min, but when he heard it, he was not afraid of Zhang Liao, and his eyes looked at Zhang Liao firmly.

When Zhang Liao heard this, he didn't want to embarrass a weak woman, and was about to withdraw his eyes. At this time, the little woman shouted again: "But I heard that although he held Yanzhou, due to a moment of negligence, Puyang was almost unsafe." It is said that a wife of the general of Lian Zhengbei! ”

At this moment, the words stopped abruptly, but a terrifying momentum suddenly surged up on Ma Zongheng's body, only to hear a frightened shout, which exploded like thunder: "Little girl with sharp teeth and sharp mouth!" Don't be too presumptuous!! ”

"Lord forgive sins!!" When Pang De heard 'Ying'er' talk more and more, he became more and more presumptuous, and was about to stop it, but she had the audacity to mention her master's family, and when she heard this, Ma Zongheng shouted angrily, and quickly knelt down and confessed. Chen Min's face changed, and he quickly knelt down: "The lord forgives the sin, my sister has been pampered by the family since she was a child, so she has no mouth to cover, but she is by no means malicious, if she is offended, the slut is willing to bear it!" ”

The little woman didn't seem to expect Ma Zongheng to suddenly lose such a big temper, but she was not afraid, but instead glared at Ma Zongheng, patted her little chest and shouted: "This has nothing to do with my sister Min'er, it is this girl who offended you, if you have any tricks, just come to this girl!" ”

Zhang Liao was annoyed when he saw it, and he had no intention of staying, so he was angry and persuaded Ma Zongheng: "Hmph! The rude little girl actually made a distinguished guest come to the Ming Mansion, you see..."

Zhang Liao's meaning was to persuade Ma Zongheng to leave. Chen Min was afraid that this would affect Pang De's career, so he was so anxious that tears were about to flow. Pound was so distressed to see it that he accused him again and again.

"Hahahaha~~!! What a wild girl who is not afraid of heaven and earth, this is my temper!! Who knows, Ma Zongheng suddenly laughed, and when everyone heard it, they didn't seem to expect it, and they all changed color.

At this time, Ma Zongheng suddenly smiled and said: "Little girl, all the heroes in the world have my ghost and god Ma Xi, why are you not afraid of me?" Could it be that the family behind you is not even afraid of my Ma clan? ”
