Chapter Eighty-Eight: Shi A
And what made Ma Zongheng most excited was that he seemed to understand why Liu Xueyu was so ashamed and even hit someone. Thinking of the feeling that his left arm seemed to be holding a warm ball of flesh at that time, Ma Zongheng couldn't help but have a feeling of blaspheming the goddess, but I have to say that this feeling was really pleasant.
Just when Ma Zongheng was thinking about it, suddenly a fast figure suddenly appeared. Ma Zongheng fixed his eyes and looked at it, as if he was the Praetorian Guard general named Shi A just now.
Shi A rushed to the front, and when he saw the horse vertical and horizontal, he suddenly had a fierce light in his eyes, and shouted: "Dog thief, you haven't been caught by me this time!" β
With the cheers, between the lightning and flint, Na Shi Ah had already rushed in front of Ma Zongheng. Ma Zongheng's face changed, and when he saw his fists hitting like a cannon stone, how dare he slack off, he was busy moving to dodge, and he didn't forget to shout: "This general, Ma just passed through here, and you suddenly made a move, what does this mean!?" β
"Don't quibble!! It was obviously you who offended the princess just now, I waited outside for a long time, and when I saw that you refused to come out, I knew that you were extremely cunning, and deliberately taught the soldiers to go back first, and waited for you to appear around here!! What else do you have to say!? Shi A's fists were like a raging storm, endless, and he was so good at both his body that he forced Ma Zongheng to the wall.
At this moment, Ma Zongheng finally made a thunderous move, one hand pulled up, blocking Shi A's arm, and the other hand clenched into a fist, like a thunderbolt, and hit Shi A's chest with a bang. Shi Ah relied on himself to wear armor, not afraid of a hard confrontation with Ma Zongheng, and was about to punch with his other hand, but he felt that Ma Zongheng's fist was terrifying, his face changed, and he hurriedly pulled back.
There was a sudden 'bang', and Ma Zongheng's fist slammed into Shi A's unfolded palm. The strength of that punch was so strong that Shi Ah felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his hands, and his strong body retreated one after another.
Ma Zongheng's face was cold, but he did not take advantage of the victory, because he heard the sound of the armor vibrating from all directions, and the sound of footsteps one after another.
"Stop~~!!"
Shi Ah stabilized his body and was about to attack again, but a shout sounded, and a rather powerful eunuch rushed over with the guards, and he had already blocked the retreat, and quickly surrounded the two.
Ma Zongheng's face was expressionless, but Shi A hurriedly bowed to the eunuch, and immediately explained that Ma Zongheng broke into the forbidden place in the palace and offended the stunning princess. When the eunuch heard this, his face changed, his eyes widened, he looked at Ma Zongheng, and when he saw his face, he couldn't help asking, "Who are you!?" β
"Back to my lord, Ma is the newly appointed Qilong Ling, just passing through here, I didn't know that this general suddenly became evil, and he was about to beat people, Ma had no choice but to deal with it in a hurry." Ma Zongheng knew that these eunuchs relied on the power of the Ten Standing Servants to lean towards the government and the opposition, and they were all domineering. Ma Zongheng is neither humble nor arrogant, and he also knows that most of these eunuchs have the disposition of deceiving good and fearing evil.
"Oh? It turned out to be little Fuboma-sama! Hehe, it looks really mighty. Someone's coming, take it!! However, Ma Zongheng didn't know that now the guards in the palace were all led by Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo. And just last night, Niu Qiang found Jian Shuo and cried, saying that Ma Zongheng not only had no one in his eyes, but was also disrespectful, but also barbaric and deceitful. Jian Shuo was angry, and reminded some of his henchmen that in the future, if he has a chance, he must teach Ma Zongheng a good lesson, and teach him to know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he can't mess with those people in Luoyang!
And this eunuch is precisely Jian Shuo's henchman. On the other side, when Shi A heard that this person was Xiao Fubo, the rising star of the recent Megatron Xiliang, his face changed and he also showed a little disappointment.
When Ma Zongheng heard this, his eyes suddenly glowed with a cold light, and a terrifying momentum suddenly erupted from him, and those soldiers who were about to be captured were so frightened by his eyes that they seemed to have lost their souls and did not dare to move forward.
The eunuch also seemed to feel that Ma Zongheng was extraordinary, and hurriedly shouted to Shi A: "Shi Duwei is not going to make a quick move!" β
When Shi A heard this, he didn't show mercy, he shouted, and suddenly pulled out the sword on his waist, and instantly he could feel that Shi A's whole person suddenly changed, and the sword in his hand seemed to turn into a part of his body, as if he was born with it, like a tiger with wings, like a dragon into the clouds.
At that moment, there was a sudden and urgent cry from behind.
"Slow~~!!" Shi Ah heard the voice of the little butterfly, and his face couldn't help but change, and he immediately stopped. In a crowd of guards, everyone got out of the way, and when they saw Xiao Caidie hurrying over, they saw Shi Ah and said, "Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise I would really hurt the innocent." As my princess said just now, she was picking flowers when she suddenly encountered a strange snake and couldn't help but be startled. Later, when the princess heard me, she was afraid that Lord Shi Ah would misunderstand, so she taught me to explain to you, but fortunately, as soon as I came out, I heard the noise here, and I arrived in time. Lord Shi, I was wrong to blame you just now, don't be angry. β
When Shi A heard this, his face changed, so he took back his sword, but he was also a gentleman, he arched at Ma Zongheng, and said in a condensed voice: "Shi A has no intention of offending, he is willing to be punished, and please don't mind Master Ma." β
Ma Zongheng was obedient, nodded expressionlessly, and said: "You are also doing your job, this time it should be a misunderstanding, so stop it!" It's not too early, and I won't be with you! β
With that, the horse walked away, and the soldiers in front of him did not dare to block the way, and they all got out of the way. When Xiao Caidie saw it, she was secretly surprised, and when she saw that Ma Zongheng looked extremely powerful, she couldn't help but scold: "What a domineering man, in this palace, it is the first time I have seen such a powerful character." β
As for the eunuch, he felt a great loss of face, and his face was full of resentment, and he coldly shouted to Shi A: "The dog slave who has no long eyes, the miscellaneous family and the brothers ran away in vain, and the brothers are gone!" β
The eunuch was arrogant, didn't take Shi Ah in his eyes at all, and gave an order, and left with people to show off his might. Shi A looked at the back of the departing eunuch, and a bit of cold murderous aura flashed in his narrowed eyes.
But he said that when Ma Zongheng returned to Qilong Mansion, all the people had arrived. Ma Zongheng couldn't help but feel a little helpless, but he didn't expect that after this series of events, he would be the last person to arrive, and he was late on the first day of taking office.
"Oops~!! Where the hell have you been, sir!? I've been looking for you for a long time, when I came, I saw that the grass in the stable had been changed, I thought it was Wang He, but I didn't know that he came later than me, and then I saw yesterday's newcomers coming one after another, so I thought it was you. But looking for a Qilong Mansion but I don't see you, I think you may have come too early, and I will go elsewhere to see if I have nothing to do, but I don't know that after a long time, I don't see you come back, and I think you are lost!! "This Zhang Kun is a talker, and as soon as this mouth opens, he often talks non-stop.
Ma Zongheng laughed, and said: "This palace is amazingly big, I just walked around a little, and I really almost got lost." β
"My lord, don't run around, forgive the little talker, there are many forbidden places in this palace, and we can't go in and out at will. There is a chilling cicada palace nearby, where there lives a stunning princess who is said to have a heavenly appearance, but she is an ominous person, so His Majesty ordered that within a radius of thirty zhang from the chilling cicada palace, no one is allowed to approach except for the maids and palace maids in the palace. There were a few people who were extremely curious about the beauty of the stunning princess, and did not hesitate to despise His Majesty's decree, but later they were arrested, not only severely punished, but also dismissed. One of them heard that he was still the son of a big family, and he couldn't be dismissed. You have to be careful, my lord. Zhang Kun said slowly, although he knew what he said about Ma Zongheng, but seeing that his face was full of concern, he wanted to be a kind person, and he said it so loudly, he couldn't bear to interrupt him. After he finished speaking, Ma Zongheng was afraid that he would have to continue, and replied succinctly: "Okay, I'll pay attention next time." You will call me all the people in the Qilong Mansion later, so that I can get to know them all and know where they are doing. β
"Good! My lord! That's right, me! Zhang Kun was busy answering, and just as he was about to speak, Ma Zongheng had already walked away.
When he was young, in the lobby of Qilong Mansion, Wang He, Zhang Kun and others stood together, and now that both of them have people, they seem to be very excited, and they each report the names and positions of their subordinates to Ma Zongheng. After Ma Zongheng got to know each other one by one, he encouraged them a few words, and then taught the two of them to disperse, leaving only Wang He and Zhang Kun, and asked them if there was anything to improve about Qilong Mansion now.
Wang He and Zhang Kun both showed their interest when they saw that Ma Zongheng was active and serious. Wang He said: "If you go back to your lordship, now that the Qilong Mansion has more people, it is naturally much better than before. In addition, there are only a few dozen foals in the Qilong Mansion now, and we people have more than enough to raise. β
"However, in terms of medicinal materials, we have a lot of vacancies here, and the smaller ones will bring people to make supplies. If you are free on weekdays, there is a special place for archery practice in the field outside. In the past, it was specially provided for His Majesty and a group of imperial relatives and ministers to practice archery, but since His Majesty's dragon body was not safe, the archery training ground was empty, and adults could go there to spend time. "Wang Kun is rigorous and careful. And Zhang Kun not only talks a lot, but also has a bit of cleverness. Ma Zongheng listened, his eyes lit up, and he thought that when he was in the Qiangdao, he repeatedly missed, and finally hit Yan Xing by mistake, but he also failed to shoot him.
There are not many affairs in the Qilong Mansion, as long as the dozens of foals are raised, as Wang He said, now these people in the Qilong Mansion can deal with it. Ma Zongheng was also idle, Zhang Kun's words couldn't help but make Ma Zongheng excited, so he smiled and said: "Okay! Can there be a bow and crossbow in the house? β
"Yes. When the adults need it, say it, and the small one will lead the adult to get it! Zhang Kun smiled when he heard this.
So, Wang He went out to do things first, while Zhang Kun took the horse to the armory of Qilong Mansion. Ma Zongheng saw that there were a lot of good quality bows and crossbows in this arsenal, and he was a little surprised at first, but he thought that Zhang Kun just said that this archery training ground in the Qilong Mansion in the past was for the Son of Heaven and a group of imperial ministers to practice arrows, and the bows and crossbows here would not be bad.
In addition to the golden dragon carved jade bow, there are also a few gorgeous bows and crossbows on the surface, Zhang Kun told sΓΉ that the horse can not be taken, and the rest are left to the horse to choose. Of course, Ma Zongheng also knew that these gorgeous ones were probably the bows and crossbows that the royal relatives used here.
But to be honest, in addition to the golden dragon carved jade bow, the other bows and crossbows, Ma Zongheng knew at a glance that they were inferior products that were not used. The horse looked around for a while, and finally chose a huge black steel iron bow, this bow is not only several times the size of an ordinary bow and crossbow, but also extremely ordinary at first glance, the bow body is pitch black, and the various carvings are not conspicuous, but as long as you see the head of the sky-swallowing beast in the center, there is a terrifying feeling.
"My lord, do you really want to choose this flying star bow!?" Zhang Kun saw Ma Zongheng holding the giant bow, looking up and down for a while, but he showed a satisfied look, he couldn't help but look surprised, and asked Ma Zongheng.
