Chapter 349: Qiao Ying's Determination (I)
Speaking of which, all along, there have been Feiyu surveillances all around Puyang City, but because of something, Shi A brought a lot of people, and not long ago, Ma Zongheng sent a lot of Feiyu's people to Yanzhou to inquire about the news. Qiao Xuan had heard of these slightly, and he had inquired about them earlier. In addition, the caravans of the Qiao family entered and exited Puyang, and they could go out of the city directly without inspection. Qiao Xuan knew very well that if he wanted to leave Puyang, this was the best opportunity.
Of course, with Qiao Xuan's identity and reputation, if he really wants to leave, Ma Zongheng will not dare to stop him, but it will involve a lot and increase the trouble, plus once this matter reaches Qiao Wan's ears, the kind Qiao Wan will definitely be very hurt, and he will definitely come to persuade him personally. At that time, Qiao Xuan was afraid that he would be shaken, so he chose to leave without knowing it.
Just as Qiao Feng and Qiao Xuan were discussing, someone suddenly came to report that Ma Taishou had come to visit. Qiao Xuan couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly glanced at Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng understood, so he retreated to the back hall. Qiao Xuan walked quickly to greet him and came to the front hall. I saw Ma Zongheng with a smile on his face, and when he saw Qiao Xuan, he immediately bowed respectfully: "The son-in-law has seen my father-in-law." ”
"Hey, since you're here, just come in directly, why do you need someone to report it?"
"This is a courtesy, and the son-in-law naturally has to do enough. I heard that my father-in-law was not in good health when he came in, and Hua Yang's kid stayed in Hedong again, there are some medicinal materials here, and I hope that my father-in-law will smile and do conditioning first. I have sent someone to Hedong day and night with a book to summon Hua Yang back to treat my father-in-law. Ma Zongheng's expression was sincere, and a little concern flashed in his eyes.
When Qiao Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant, in fact, he also regarded Ma Zongheng as a half son in his heart, and he also appreciated Ma Zongheng very much at the beginning, otherwise he would not marry his eldest daughter to him. But the recent change in Puyang really made Qiao Xuan's heart palpitate and he couldn't forget, after all, he was facing the disaster of exterminating the clan at that time, and as the great elder of the clan, the pressure he was under was unimaginable.
"I have a heart. Left and right, let's accept all the presents. Qiao Xuan was not polite, and when he gave an order, the servants behind him immediately bowed down respectfully, and Hu Che'er also commanded the soldiers to hand over all the medicinal gifts to the subordinates of the Qiao family.
"I have an important matter to discuss with my father-in-law. I wonder if my father-in-law can be convenient? At this time, the horse sank in color, and suddenly said in a condensed voice. Qiao Xuan frowned, showing a little displeasure in his heart, but he thought that Ma Zongheng was insatiable, and he had just married Qiao Wan, and he wanted to get involved in Qiao Ying.
Of course, Ma Zongheng is not only his son-in-law, but also the master of the entire East County, and he still has to give enough face.
"Let's go down and wait." Qiao Xuan said lightly, and the people of the bridge mansion agreed to retreat, and Ma Zongheng also gave Hu Che'er a look. Hu Che'er understood, so he lured out a group of soldiers. After a while, only Ma Zongheng and Qiao Xuan were left in the front hall.
"Don't hide it from my father-in-law, my son-in-law is about to send troops, but before leaving, I hope that I can borrow the caravan of the Qiao family to transport the people of the Sun family out."
"The Sun family!?" When Qiao Xuan heard this, his expression couldn't help but change, and then he looked at Ma Zongheng's eyes and a smile on his face, and he quickly came to his senses and said, "I'll just say that you are hospitable on weekdays, unless someone else offends you, otherwise you will treat you politely." But you are the only one who is like this to the Sun family, and there must be deception in it. Now, it seems, that is indeed the case. In this way, you have formed an alliance with the Sun family? ”
"Father-in-law, he is like a god, and my son-in-law admires it." Ma Zongheng smiled brightly and said unhurriedly.
"The Sun family is good, Sun Wentai is fierce and brave, loyal and unparalleled, he is a trustworthy alliance leader, and there is no shortage of elite soldiers under his command, such as Cheng, Huang, Han, Zhu four generals, each can fight well, it is said that even his eldest son Sun Ce, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, is also very capable and has an unlimited future." Qiao Xuan said as he spoke, his eyes became more and more bright, Ma Zongheng couldn't see anything for a while, and said with a smile: "It seems that my father-in-law also appreciates the Sun family." However, once the matter of the alliance between the Ma and Sun families is rumored, it will be feared, so I deliberately made a bad relationship with the Sun family, but secretly discussed the details, pros and cons with Sun Ce. This time, I sent troops to attack Yanzhou, and the city would be very empty, so I wanted to borrow the caravan of the Qiao family to transport the people of the Sun family out. Afterwards, I taught people to declare that this Sun Ce took advantage of the chaos to escape. ”
"This plan is very exquisite, in this way, the princes of the world are kept in the dark, but one day, Ma and Sun suddenly join forces to raise troops, and they will be able to kill the enemy by surprise!!" Qiao Xuan sighed and praised, and his heart that was determined to leave was shaken again.
When he was young, Ma Zongheng had just left Qiaofu, and suddenly Wei Fei rushed to see Ma Zongheng, and after he was busy dismounting to meet him, he muttered a few words in Ma Zongheng's ear. When Ma Zongheng heard this, he suddenly changed color, and shouted angrily: "It's just nonsense!" Wei Fei, you lend me your mount!! ”
After drinking, Ma Zongheng didn't wait for Wei Fei's response, and immediately hurried to the horse, turned over on the horse, and then rode away.
When Ma Zongheng arrived at the school yard in the city, he saw that there were many soldiers around, but the strange thing was that he could still hear the woman's voice.
"Who said that a daughter can't join the army because she is a body!? My brother-in-law said that as long as you are talented, regardless of your background, whether you are high or low, you can join the army and use your talents! He didn't explain that women can't join the army! ”
"Bridge girl, you are delicate and expensive, and the army is a rough place, but you have a loss, how can we wait for the main bus to be replaced? You'd better bypass the villains and wait and stop messing around, okay? When Ma Zongheng came, he saw that his face was full of bitterness and helplessness, and he was wearing a purple bird cloud brocade robe, tied with a ponytail, dressed as a military general, and the heroic Qiao Ying persuaded hard.
"Hmph, you underestimate your aunt and grandmother, in terms of archery and swordsmanship, your aunt and grandmother are not lost to you stinky men!! You black-faced man, quickly arrange my entry into the army, if you are not convinced, my aunt and grandmother will compare with you, so what!? Qiao Ying put one hand in Xiaoman's waist, her eyebrows were raised, her voice was fierce, and she also had a bit of outstanding majesty.
At this time, many people found out about Ma Zongheng's arrival and hurriedly bowed. When the people around heard this, they also turned back one after another, and bowed to Ma Zongheng in unison.
"Subordinates wait to meet the lord!"
"Alright, let's all disperse." Ma Zongheng bowed slightly, waved his hand, and taught the soldiers to leave. Everyone was relieved, and hurriedly agreed, just as they were about to leave. Qiao Ying's delicate face was anxious, and she hurriedly shouted: "Don't go!" ”
Ma Zongheng frowned, approached Qiaoying, with a somewhat heavy look, and said: "Ying'er, this is a military place, you come here to mess around, I know that I can sentence you for disturbing the army and despising the army at any time!?" ”
When Qiao Ying heard this, she felt very aggrieved in her heart, thinking that she was a beautiful lady, Miss Qianjin, in order to be able to get close to him and open his heart, she did not hesitate to join the army, just to let him see his determination, but in exchange for it, he was applauded.
However, Qiao Ying is such a woman, even if she is wronged in her heart, she doesn't want to express it, and when she grits her teeth, she chokes with Ma Zongheng.
"Humph! Stinky rascal, don't scare me, my aunt and grandmother are not afraid! What's more, my aunt and grandmother just came to join the army, so why disturb the army and despise the crime!? ”
"You!!" Ma Zongheng frowned, and when he was about to get angry, he saw that Qiao Ying's unwavering eyes were shaking, and he also showed a little grievance, and suddenly his heart softened, how did he not know that she would not hesitate to do this, and even let go of the woman's reserve, just to want to contact herself more, or more appropriately, to impress herself and accept her feelings.
Sometimes, Ma Zongheng feels that Qiao Ying is like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, with nobility in her rebelliousness, advocating freedom, as long as it is her own goal, even if it is the end of the world, she will definitely move forward bravely and never retreat.
Just ask such a beautiful and strong, fierce and sincere woman, who can bear to hurt her?
"Ying'er, I welcome you to join the army. But you have ever thought that when your sister and your father knew that you joined the army, they would be worried day and night, which would make people feel haggard. Can you bear it? Ma Zongheng persuaded softly, Qiao Ying listened, her face changed, and when she heard it, she was a little shaken at first, but she soon recovered, and smiled very brightly: "With you by my side, I'm not afraid!" ”
"Nonsense!! On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, where can I take care of you everywhere!? ”
"My own martial arts are not bad, I am enough to protect myself!!"
But I saw that Ma Zongheng and Qiao Ying were staring at each other, and the people next to them couldn't laugh or cry, it was all a farce, and they didn't know whether to leave or stay.
"Good! It seems that you are not taught some lessons, and you are not willing to give up! Don't say that I make things difficult for you, the newcomers in our army have long been full, and now they only recruit elites, can you ride horses, shoot arrows, and fight hard? ”
"I don't dare to say that I am proficient in everything, but at least I won't embarrass you brother-in-law!" Qiao Ying held her head high, full of pride and confidence.
As soon as Ma Zongheng's expression sank, he taught the general to take a war horse and try to ride it first. When he was young, a general led a war horse to come, Qiao Ying saw it, his eyes were shining, but he was not afraid, he hurried to hurry up, flew and jumped, and his skills were quite good, after sitting on the war horse, a slender jade leg was clamped, and the war horse immediately flew away.
However, it is said that when the horse is in the later generations, it is also good to ride a horse, so he also knows something about the saddle stirrups of the later generations. In the past two months, Ma Zongheng has gathered famous craftsmen from all over the world to make the saddle stirrups of the present world according to the appearance of later generations, and after various improvements, the results are quite good. Not only is the stability of people riding on horses much higher, but what is especially precious is that after adding a new type of stirrup, the speed of the war horse has increased by at least one-tenth or two, and if you run with all your might, it can also be increased to two-tenths or three-tenths.
I saw that the bridge was riding on the horse, and it felt very different than before, not only was it very stable, but it was also very good to be stable, and there would be the pain of impact and friction under the crotch, and the horse was running, not only stable, but also fast enough, what she liked the most was that the saddle was connected to the belt, and there were two places where the feet could be hooked, and it was very comfortable to ride.
"Giggle~~! Okay~~!! With the breeze blowing, Qiao Ying only felt a sense of pleasure in the world and the world, and finally understood why men love to ride on horses to fight the world, this feeling is really good.
"Hmph, little girl, look at you proudly!! If you knew this, you shouldn't have equipped the war horses in the army with these new saddle stirrups so quickly!! Don't look at Ma Zongheng's mouth saying this, in fact, he is smiling from ear to ear, and his heart is happy.
