Chapter Twenty-Three: Closing the Heart
When Han Won woke up, it was already dark, and he didn't know how many hours he had slept for himself. He didn't get up, no one dared to wake him up.
Rubbing his dizzy head, Han Won put on his shoes and socks and prepared to go out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw that Ma Erhan was still waiting outside, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting, but he fell asleep leaning on the corridor.
"Ma Erhan." Han Won slapped him in the face.
Ma Erhan suddenly woke up and said busily: "Sir." marked here. ”
"It's cooler at night, so let's sit in the room. I'll ask someone to prepare some food and drink, and we'll have a meal. "The won are also a little hungry.
"Lord Xie." Ma Erhan didn't dare to refuse.
Han Yuan summoned a few subordinates from Zhang's Mansion and ordered them to prepare wine and food. Everyone knows that Han Yuan is Zhang Hong's honored guest, and they dare not wait for it, and the wine and food will be delivered immediately.
"Come, don't be polite to me, just talk while eating."
Han Yuan poured a glass of wine and handed it to Ma Erhan, and poured himself another glass.
Han Yuan behaved like this, Ma Erhan didn't dare to hold it up, and respectfully took the wine glass.
"Ma Erhan, there are only you and me here, I have thought about some things for a long time, and it is time to talk to you." Han Won's speech is becoming more and more like a superior person.
"Sir, please."
"I ask you, and you tell the truth." Han Yuan took a sip of wine, and then said, "Do you think that you were promoted by Wang Bingyun, so you are dissatisfied with me, the new brigade general?" Do you think that my won is only what I have today? ”
"Don't dare." Ma Erhan bowed his head and said.
Han Yuan made a straight face and said seriously: "Be honest and honest, don't play tricks with me." ”
Ma Erhan turned his heart and replied loudly: "Yes." I am really not convinced. ”
"Tell me, why are you not convinced?"
Ma Erhan was unwilling to say: "You and I are both from Daliang Town, and we are both leading troops under Wang Bingyun. Whether it's martial arts or military training, I, Ma Erhan, think I'm no worse than you. If I hadn't been unlucky enough to be sent to war, what kind of character would you be Han won? How can I, Ma Erhan, be pressed on my head by you? ”
After saying that, he himself was shocked. Han Won is not what it used to be, and it is easy to kill him.
However, Han Won didn't care, and just asked:
"Let me ask you, what do you think of Wang Bingyun's level of leading troops to fight?"
Ma Erhan thought for a while and said, "In terms of leading troops, he has more experience than me, and as for fighting, he can only be regarded as second-rate." ”
Nonsense, if Wang Bingyun is first-class in battle, he will not be killed, and let Han Yuan pick up the leaks.
Han Yuan asked again: "Since he is average, why are you under him?" Do you think he is kind to you? ”
"That's nature. Without Wang Junshou's discernment, how could I have a chance to get ahead. Ma Erhan replied without thinking about it.
"Heh, hehe." Han Yuan sneered twice and asked, "You said that Wang Bingyun is your benefactor, but did you ever think that he would exchange your head for military merits?" ”
Ma Erhan said: "Those are two different things. If it were me, I'm afraid I would have that thought. ”
Han Yuan looked angry and smashed the wine glass in his hand.
"Good thief! People who have some small favors to you, you still can't forget them after you enter the ground! Your true benefactor is right in front of you, but you never know how to be grateful! ”
Ma Erhan said in disbelief: "You are kind to me? Where to start? ”
"Humph! I said you're a stupid donkey. Speaking of which, you owe me three lives! ”
"In June last year, the West Thieves went to Daliang Town to kill people and set fires, if it wasn't for the fact that day I took someone to block you on the back mountain road and fought with you for an afternoon, I was afraid that you would be chopped up by the West Thieves when you went back! This is the first life you owe me! ”
Ma Erhan was taken aback when he heard this, this is also counted? But when he thinks about it, it's true.
"After the thieves looted, Daliang Town was in shambles. It was I who took the teenagers of Rotten Peach Village to look for a living mouth, and by the way, I took away you, a half-dead rammer who stayed in the horse village. If not, you'll be starving. This is the second life you owe me! ”
What Han Yuan said was true, Ma Erhan only felt ashamed.
"Also, in the Jiaxian prison, Wang Bingyun wanted to exchange everyone's heads for military merits, and I persuaded him to let us live with a clever mouth. Oh, this is the third life you owe me! ”
Han Yuan said goodbye and quietly watched how Ma Erhan reacted.
Ma Erhan was stunned for a while. Han Yuan's words are reasonable, and when it comes to it, he really owes him three lives.
"Marked, dull. Please... I hope the lord will forgive his sins! Ma Erhan's voice trembled a little.
Han Yuan persuaded earnestly: "Ma Erhan, I know that you are not small, and I also know that you are arrogant. But now that this Goyang County is my won's decision, you can't change the facts. ”
"Instead of raising the bar with me and dealing with me, it is better to do things for me. Wouldn't it be beautiful for you and me to work together to create a career? ”
"Humble duty, dare not serve to die!" Ma Erhan said sincerely.
"Good, good." Han Yuan nodded, and said, "I slept for a day today, so I'll let you wait, come, drink!" ”
The two of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and drank until dawn the next day.
Since then, the relationship between Ma Erhan and Han Won has become increasingly close.
Han Yuan stayed in Jia County for a few days, and then took his younger brother back to the county seat.
The won is still relatively leisurely. Speaking of which, although he has been promoted a lot, there are not many things. Anyway, Gaoyang's county guard is Jiang Feng, and if there is any hard work, Han Yuan will push it to his father-in-law one by one. Jiang Feng was also happy to do it, so that it would seem that his position as the county guard was famous.
Now, in addition to rectifying military affairs and expanding soldiers and horses, Han Yuan is most interested in Miss Jiang every day.
As soon as he arrived in the county seat, Han Won went straight to Jiangfu and did not return home.
Han Xian couldn't help but feel pity for Lin Miao, such a good woman, my brother didn't know pity. But he didn't think about it either.
When Jiang Feng heard that Han Yuan was coming, he ignored the affairs of the yamen and hurried home to entertain him.
Although Jiang Feng is the guard of Gaoyang County, he has the bottom in his heart that Han Yuan, who holds military power, is the emperor of Gaoyang County.
But no matter how you say it, this emperor is also his son-in-law, and Jiang Feng doesn't have much mustard in his heart.
"Virtuous son-in-law, you haven't come to my house to sit, but the little girl misses you very much."
Jiang Feng is not called a lord now, he is a virtuous son-in-law, although this uncle is not official.
Han Yuan was polite to Jiang Feng for a moment, and said straight to the point: "Is the moon falling?" I want to see her. ”
Jiang Feng looked embarrassed, this son-in-law was too straightforward, it seemed that he came to Jiang Mansion to see his daughter, and it had little to do with his father-in-law.
Jiang Feng hurriedly said: "Yes, of course, my family is looking forward to the virtuous son-in-law coming to see her every day." ”
Jiang Feng's words are nonsense, Jiang Luoyue has only seen Han won, and she is not impressed. Although she knew that she was going to marry him, she was not as infatuated as Jiang Feng described, after all, she and Han Yuan were not familiar with each other.
Han Yuan believed it and said happily: "Okay, I'll go see her right away!" ”
Jiang Feng knew that he was anxious, so he led the way in front and led him to the backyard to see his daughter.
