When the Pang father and son heard this, they agreed together, and then withdrew. At this time, Beigong Feng, who had not spoken, said to Ma Zongheng with a smile: "Brother Ma, it is really envious of others to have such a loyal help. What is needed for the Hokamiya family, just as it comes. ”

"Then you're welcome. Jicheng has just been taken not long ago, I am afraid that there are many Wang Yu and Han Sui's fine works in the city, and I hope that you will send your Hu brothers to patrol the city these days. Ma Zongheng's face was solemn, and he said in a condensed voice. Beigong Feng chin his head, while sighing, this man's heart is really terrifying, and he thinks about things very thoroughly.

Two days later, Jicheng gradually settled down after various rectifications by Ma Zongheng. Although the Hu patrols in the city sometimes make the people in the city avoid them, it is also because of this that the streets in the city seem very quiet.

Or even the ordinary people in the city understand that Jicheng is only temporarily changing hands, once Wang Yu and Han Sui's army is killed, the son of the Ma family, who succeeded in the surprise attack on Jicheng, has to give Jicheng away under absolute strength.

Ordinary people have such insights, not to mention Cheng Gongde, in his heart, he has no hope that Ma Zongheng can defend Jicheng. Or his strategy of attacking Jicheng is indeed clever, but a good attacker does not mean that he is good at defending. Offensive and defensive operations are far from being as simple as imagined. It's just that Cheng Gongde is secretly worried that his child is now in Ma Zongheng's hands. Two days passed, and Ma Zongheng did not take the initiative to see him. This couldn't help but hit Cheng Gongde's confidence greatly, and Cheng Gongde thought that Ma Zongheng would definitely ask for help from him in terms of guarding Jicheng. When the time comes, he can use his eloquence to sit on the ground and raise the price, so that Ma Zongheng has to follow his wishes.

Having said that, Cheng Gongde is quite a businessman, and in Jicheng, fifty percent of the businesses belong to Cheng Gong's family. Moreover, the Cheng Gong family controls most of the grain stores in the city.

As long as it is a transaction, Cheng Gongde has the confidence to make things develop according to his own ideas.

However, now it seems that Cheng Gongde has met an opponent. He didn't expect that Ma Zongheng was in no hurry at all. When trading, people who are often in a hurry to get things done first will definitely be at a disadvantage. Although Cheng Gongde understands this truth very well, he is more afraid that his son will have three longs and two shorts, so he still can't bear it and takes the initiative to come to the mansion to visit.

"Oh? I was about to ask the head of the Cheng family to talk about important things in the city, but I didn't expect the successful head of the family to take the initiative to visit, no wonder I often hear Pang Gong say that you are a warm-hearted and loyal person. Ma Zongheng smiled brightly, but in the eyes of Cheng Gongde, his face was hateful, and he remained silent and said with a smile: "The city lord praised it falsely. The little one just wants to exert a little effort, so that the lord of the city can see my loyalty to the public family, and put the small dog back as soon as possible. ”

Cheng Gongde changed his name for Ma Zongheng again, and he also surrendered his identity, thinking that he was small, but he wanted Ma Zongheng to relax his vigilance against him.

"Hahaha~~! The head of the Cheng family is really joking. Your wisdom is better than others, and it is a genius that is difficult to come out of Xiliang for a hundred years, and I still hope that you can assist me in the future. Ma Zongheng laughed loudly, and said quite seriously. For a while, Ling Chenggongde didn't know whether he was telling the truth or falsehood.

"Ying'er is usually low-key, except for the old man, no one knows his ability. This Ma family child is just an outsider, if he can really see Ying'er's skills, it will be too terrifying. Cheng Gongde's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. If Cheng Gongying is just an unsuccessful disciple in Ma Zongheng's mind, just used as a hostage, it is still very possible to exchange him back. But if Ma Zongheng saw Cheng Gongying's skills, the situation would be very different. According to Cheng Gongde's set of merchants, the transaction is under the basis of parity transactions, of course, if you can't see what the value of your goods is, that's your business, otherwise how can merchants make profits?

And Ma Zongheng was able to discover Cheng Gongying's ability, which undoubtedly greatly increased the value of the goods in his hands, and Cheng Gongde wanted to exchange, he had to come up with something equivalent to it. Of course, this is the merchant's set. can forget that Cheng Gongde and Cheng Gongying still have a father-son relationship.

Cheng Gongde's brain was racing, and then he looked at Ma Zongheng's still unhurried appearance, and his head suddenly became bigger. It is rare for the sky to have eyes, so that he has a son with amazing talents, I thought that in this troubled world, his son will be able to lead the Cheng family to do something in the future, but he didn't expect an accident, and his son became a prisoner under the stairs. For Cheng Gongde, even if he wants to exchange the entire Cheng Gong family, he must exchange it for his son. Because throughout the ages, in troubled times, as long as there are talented people, they will be able to break out of the world. The most important thing is to keep talents, and when they become famous, the lost family business will also be lost and regained, or even go to the next level.

"The child is only a thin student, and he rarely goes out on weekdays, even if he is a market hooligan, I am afraid that he is a little smarter than him. Please also Lord of the City, don't be joking, what does it take to be effective, even if you are told. ”

Cheng Gongde did not give up, and in order to complete the transaction, he did not hesitate to belittle his son. And he made a look of trepidation, as if it were true. When Ma Zongheng heard this, he secretly scolded the old fox, his expression was shocked, and he said: "It seems that the head of the Chenggong family does not believe in Ma's sincerity." Don't you know that in Huangsha City that day, I made a gambling agreement with your son, if within half a month, I can take Jicheng, he will serve me, if not, I will use my life to compensate!! ”

As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Cheng Gongde trembled suddenly, staggered back a few steps, but saw Ma Zongheng's eyes were fierce, and he didn't mean to joke at all, and he couldn't help but tremble even more.

If he had known this, he would have stopped Ma Zongheng from getting Jicheng at any cost three days ago!!

Ma Zongheng was willing to gamble, and regardless of his idea at the time, one thing was clear, he valued his son very much.

"Huh... The old man only has this son, and he asks the city lord to raise his noble hand. The old man is willing to exchange everything for one qiē. Finally, even Cheng Gongde, a good player who has been in the shopping mall for many years, was willing to bow down and sighed in a low voice.

"The head of the Chenggong family is really a father and son, and he is envious. Don't worry, once I repel the soldiers and horses of Wang and Han, I will immediately send someone to pick up Chenggong from Huangsha City, but before that, Ma really needs to rely on Chenggong a lot. Ma Zongheng showed a bright smile again, which made Cheng Gongde can't help but chuckle, and secretly sigh that he has now become a chopping board fish, and let this person slaughter.

It can be seen that this person is only about eighteen years old, how can he be so old and shrewd!?

However, Cheng Gongde was even more surprised* was still to come, he originally thought that Ma Zongheng did not understand the battle of attack and defense at all, but the fact was that Ma Zongheng was once again unexpected. Ma Zongheng first asked Cheng Gongde for what he wanted to garrison the city. After the two bargained with each other, in the end, Ma Zongheng asked for 30,000 arrows, 3,000 bows and crossbows, 1,800 pieces of wood and stones, and some armor and shields. Cheng Gongde's heart was like a knife, but he was also secretly frightened, looking at the situation of Ma Zongheng, it seemed that he really wanted to defend Jicheng, so I am afraid that Jicheng will be a vicious battle.

Subsequently, Ma Zongheng, who was not polite at all, asked Cheng Gongde for a thousand loads of grain and three hundred taels of gold for military use. Of course, on the surface, these materials are generous and generous Cheng Gongde free funding.

Cheng Gongde began to grit his teeth in pain, he had never made such a lossy transaction in his life.

After asking for the supplies, in the eyes of Cheng Gongde, the extremely shameless and insatiable horse Zongheng, simply asked him for private soldiers, but the number was not much, only a thousand people, but it must be a strong man.

"Hehe, what Ma hates the most in his life are those who like to fill up the numbers. If the head of the Chenggong family wants your son to return to Jicheng safe and sound, I hope you had better cooperate and do what you say. Of course, Ma will definitely keep in mind your affection, and he will return you a favor in the future. "The horse is already strong and burly, and it is really terrifying to laugh.

Cheng Gongde had goosebumps, he really couldn't catch whether Ma Zongheng was a cruel and tyrannical person, and it was about his son's life, and he didn't dare to gamble.

"The lord of the castle doesn't have to be careful. Within three days, the little one must have everything ready! The lord of the castle is just waiting for the handover. ”

"Okay, then it's hard work to become the head of the family. I set up a seat in the back hall, can the head of the family have dinner before leaving? ”

"No need. The time is urgent, and the fighter plane will inevitably be delayed, and the small one is better to arrange it quickly. ”

"Haha, the head of the Chenggong family is really a loyal and righteous man."

I don't know if Ma Zongheng deliberately insulted Cheng Gongde, who had joined forces with Li Jin to seize Jicheng, and the word loyalty and righteousness he said again was really harsh. Cheng Gongde's face was dark, he took a deep breath, bowed his hands, and walked away.

Not long after Cheng Gongde left, Hu Che'er hurried in.

Ma Zongheng's face turned grim and asked, "There is still no news from Fufeng?" ”

"Yes, it's been almost half a month. Could it be that Ma Gong was clamped by Dong Jackal, who was guarding the three auxiliaries? So don't you dare to send troops lightly? Hu Che'er said eagerly.

"No, the melee of the warlords of Xiliang has only advantages and no disadvantages for Dong Jackal, who has always had the heart to unify Xiliang, I think Dong Jackal Tiger is more willing than anyone else to see the situation of my father and Han Jiuqu fighting." Ma Zongheng shook his head, his sharp eyes narrowed suddenly, and said: "Either my father has other plans, not to mention the others, first of all, we must prepare for a big battle." Cheng Gongde's old fox has promised to fund materials and troops, in this way, it can be regarded as a big problem, now you first stabilize the morale of the soldiers and the situation in the city, what will happen in the future, just do your best, no regrets! ”

When Hu Che'er heard this, his heart couldn't help but grow, and his eyes became firm, just promised. Suddenly, a soldier came to report, and Pang father and son asked to see a few newly provoked soldiers. Ma Zongheng's expression was shocked, so he taught Hu Che'er to sit on the side, and then summoned everyone to meet him.

Suddenly, Pang and his son walked in with seven or eight soldiers from Moyo, and the first one behind Pang and his son was resolute, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong figure.
