0371 Borrowing a boat
Entering Gangneung again, Ma Zhong didn't have any special feelings. The fastest update
Although Gangneung City, which was originally destroyed by him, has not been restored to its original appearance, it has some orderly meaning under the afterglow of the setting sun.
The people in the market walked leisurely, and there was no sign of hurry.
On the contrary, when the new powerful coalition troops who entered the city appeared, they were a little vigilant.
The guide who led the way introduced to Ma Zhong and the others with a strange face that Jiangling City already had a bit of the old weather, and the destroyed houses had been cleaned up, and many of them were being rebuilt. The people live and work in peace and contentment, do not close their doors at night, and do not leave behind the road, which is the virtue and politics of General Xu.
In addition, the main ones who suffered losses last time were those large families, who all recruited workers to repair their houses, and half of Gangneung City was in full swing, and the lives of the people were a little better.
Then he proudly told Ma Zhong about Xu Sheng's affairs in Jiangling.
Ma Zhong was a little speechless when he listened to what Xu Sheng had been doing these days, and he couldn't imagine that Xu Sheng would do such an unreliable thing.
Xu Sheng's undercover agent has his own residence in Gangneung City, which was arranged in advance when Xu Sheng was still there.
The undercover agent was originally a person in the camp of General Yingyang Zhonglang, and he was not very interested in Ma Zhong, but he had a lot of respect for Jiang Chong.
When he arrived at the residence, he asked Jiang Chong, is the captain going to take them to see the people of the Zhuo family today
Jiang Chong raised his chin and said to Ma Zhong, it's all up to you.
Ma Zhong didn't dare to delay for too long, and said to the guide, let's go see you today
The guide naturally didn't say anything, and after a little preparation, he took Ma Zhong and Ma Yan, as well as a few guards, out of the house.
The nearest Zhuo family stronghold is a rouge shop.
The shopkeeper of the rouge shop changed slightly when he saw the guide coming to the door again, and then he was about to close the door.
Ma Zhong hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and stopped, Why, now you don't even see the people from the Ma family in Jingzhou
Ma Tan's heart was very slumped, and he turned around and wanted to open up.
Ma Zhong has already pointed at him, this is the fifth son of the Ma family, and now one of the people of the Ma family in Jingzhou, the master of your family also recognizes.
Sure enough, as soon as the title of the Ma family in Jingzhou was reported, the shopkeeper changed a little.
Then he hesitated, confessed to Ma, and entered the back hall.
Not long after, someone in the back hall greeted him, and Ma Zhong was surprised to see it, it was the little maid Huan'er next to Mrs. Zhuo's family that day.
Huan'er didn't expect to meet Ma Zhong, she still had an impression of Ma Zhong, she was stunned for a while, turned around and was about to leave.
Ma Zhong strode forward, stretched out his arms to stop her, why, when she saw the old man, didn't Miss Huan'er even make a move
Huan'er turned around in embarrassment and saluted Ma Zhongfu.
Ma Zhong smiled and said, Your wife is here, it would be the best.
Huan'er, as a personal maid, of course, was with Mrs. Zhuo's family, and it seemed that after the Jiangling chaos that day, the people of the Zhuo family had safely withdrawn from the Ma family.
They have been operating in Gangneung for a long time and have long had many places to stay.
Ma Zhong didn't expect that this time he would accidentally hit and use the name of the Ma family in Jingzhou again, and he would meet Mrs. Zhuo.
The Zhuo family has their hands and eyes to the sky, relying on the ability to save lives and help the wounded, and there are some unknown channels in both countries.
Even a big family like the Ma family in Jingzhou has to rely on the Zhuo family to guide them from Jiangdong.
If you can get the support of Mrs. Zhuo this time, it will really be a tiger with wings.
Ma Zhong didn't wait for Huan'er to defend, and said with a smile, for the sake of General Pingyu's face, please see his wife.
Huan'er hurriedly said, you misunderstood, Mrs. is not here.
Ma Zhong ignored it, how could such a personal maid leave her master for too long
He said calmly, you can't be the master of this matter, so let's ask your wife
Huan'er hesitated again and again, and finally glared at Ma Zhong fiercely and retreated back into the back hall.
The guide didn't know what it was, and he didn't understand what the Zhuo family lady was, so he just watched Ma Zhong talk to the little maid in wonder.
Ma Zhong didn't want these idle people to know these inside stories, so he ordered, you all step down, the third brother can stay.
The guide was just one of the scouts under Bu Zhao, and he didn't have such a high level of consciousness and foresight, so he led people away without any doubt.
After Huan'er entered the back hall, there was no movement for a long time, but Ma Zhong was very calm.
He believed that with the name of General Pinglu, Mrs. Zhuo would not dare to hold it up, how could she come out to meet him.
After waiting for a while, Huan'er came out of the back hall, saluted Ma Zhongfu, and invited the guest in.
Ma Zhong nodded, and without the slightest fear, he took Ma Jian and entered the back hall together.
The back hall is just the dress of ordinary people, Ma Zhong is the first time to see Mrs. Zhuo, she is only in her twenties, and she is covered with light makeup, which is so elegant that Ma Zhong is a little surprised.
Ma Zhong was a guest in the end, and he bowed his hand and said that he had seen his wife.
Mrs. Zhuo frowned slightly, sighed softly and said, My Zhuo family has no interest in the contradiction between the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army, why should Your Excellency be strong
Ma Zhong smiled slightly, and replied with deep meaning, I'm afraid Liu Jingzhou won't think so, and Mrs. Sun won't think so either.
The little widow of the Zhuo family was quite calm at first, but when she heard Mrs. Sun's three words, her face changed slightly.
She didn't admit it, she didn't argue, and asked softly, What did Your Excellency do you want to do when you come to our Zhuo family
Ma Zhong was reluctant to have a bad relationship with a big family with a complicated relationship like the Zhuo family, so he said simply, I need a big ship that can carry sixty people, and I need to get to the south bank of the Yangtze River as soon as possible, I think this should not be a difficult thing for the Zhuo family.
Mrs. Zhuo hesitated slightly, and then said with determination, The matter of the ship is not difficult to handle, and my Zhuo family still has a little face. Why don't I just let someone send you back to Jiangdong, now that there are many rights and wrongs in Jingzhou, why don't you withdraw your hand and leave and retreat peacefully.
Ma Zhong said tentatively, I'm leaving, I'm afraid Mrs. Sun will be unlucky.
When Mrs. Zhuo heard this, she was very surprised, but she didn't ask much, just thought for a while and said, I can provide you with a ship, but you don't expect the Zhuo family to do more for you.
Ma Zhong was already very satisfied with this result, and immediately thanked him.
Mrs. Zhuo was obviously reluctant to talk to Ma Zhong more, he glanced at Huan'er, and Huan'er immediately said knowingly, send off.
Ma Zhong things are done, of course he will not stay here, he only asked, I don't know when the boat will be ready, I want to cross the river as soon as possible,
Mrs. Zhuo replied, within three days,
Ma Zhong frowned slightly, but now relying on his family, there is nothing he can do.
Mrs. Zhu is a thoughtful woman, and added that Li Qunjian, who was looking for a general after 3 days, has a little bit to do with us in Zhejiang, Ma Zhong was relieved, bowed down and said, It's hard work. To be continued.
