Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan didn't expect Kuai Yue to agree to Cao so readily, but for the Cai family, Kuai Yue did not give the same statement as him, Ma Xiaoquan asked Kuai Yue to introduce him to the Cai family, Kuai Yue agreed, at the same time, Yuan disdained Ma Xiaoquan, thinking that he did not believe in history, and thought that the Cai family would definitely be like the Kuai family, while Ma Xiaoquan proposed the opposite Jianyì, for this, the two of them made a bet

+++++++++++++++++++++ Kuai Yue's movements were fast, and on the third day, he sent someone to tell Ma Xiaoquan, saying that the Cai family had agreed to his request for an interview.

Listening to the news from the people of the Kuai family, Ma Yu said very dissatisfiedly: "Then what is Cai Mao's attitude, how did you do it, our status is very underground." ”

Murong Ziyan on the side smiled lightly and said, "This is Jingzhou, not Jizhou, the Cai family has a lot of influence in Jingzhou." ”

Ma Xiaoquan didn't mind: "It's just a Cai Mao, it's not a big deal, as long as they agree to meet me." Ma Yu, get ready, we'll go to Cai's house now. ”

"Yes!"

The three of them were ready and immediately went to Cai's house.

The Cai family has three brothers in this generation, the eldest Cai Mao, who is now a general under Liu Cong's seat, commanding the naval army; The second and third Cai Zhong Cai He also led a group of people, so it can be said that the military power in Jingzhou is under the control of the Cai family.

On the other hand, because Liu Cong was still young, the three brothers of the Cai family invited their sister to take charge of the government, and this sister was none other than the Cai family, who was the successor of Liu Biao's widow.

Cai did not leave an heir to Liu Biao, so she doted on her youngest son Liu Cong very much, when Liu Qi and Liu Cong's two brothers competed for the throne after Liu Biao's death, Cai's relied on the influence of the near water tower and the Cai family in Jingzhou, coupled with the spread of the news that Cao Cao had killed, successfully scared Liu Qi away and helped Liu Cong to Jingzhou Mu.

Liu Qi was not completely useless, although he was frightened, he still ran to Jiangxia and led 10,000 people to guard it decently

When they came to the Cai family's mansion, the four guards guarded the gate upright, glaring at Ma Xiaoquan and the three of them menacingly.

Ma Yu was unhappy in his heart, and said loudly: "Immortal Hou came to see him, why didn't anyone come out to greet him?" ”

The four guards glanced at each other, and one of them said disdainfully: "Immortal Hou, why haven't we heard of it?" ”

Ma Yu took two steps forward angrily and said, "Hurry up and report!" ”

Another guard also took two steps forward, stepped in front of Ma Yu, and pushed him: "Dare to make trouble at the door of General Cai's house, don't you kid want to live?" ”

Ma Yu was just about to have a seizure, and a hand grabbed him.

Ma Yu turned his head and saw that it was the owner Ma Xiaoquan.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, stepped forward and arched his hand at the guard, and said: "I am not talented, I was canonized by the emperor as a fairy marquis, and now I am in Jingzhou, I heard that General Cai's prestige is famous, and the Cai family is the first family in Jingzhou, so I came to visit General Cai."

Ma Xiaoquan's comfortable words were very useful to the four guards present.

"Hmph, you just said no, but you said you were going to visit my general, there are three generals in my family, which one is it?"

Ma Xiaoquan said hehehe: "It's General Cai Mao." ”

"Hmph, do you think you'll see each other when you meet? Don't you know that General Cai is busy? ”

Ma Xiaoquan's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: Busy with you Malegobi, who is Cai Mao, do you think Lao Tzu doesn't know?

Thinking about it, on the surface, Ma Xiaoquan still looked kind and said: "Busy, oh, there's no way, but please let me know, in the lower immortal Hou Ma Xiaoquan, it was personally sent by the emperor, since I can't see General Cai Mao, then forget it, the emperor blames it, and I have to tell the truth." ”

After speaking, Ma Xiaoquan beckoned, leading Ma Yu and Murong Ziyan to turn around and leave.

"Wait!" A guard stepped forward to stop Ma Xiaoquan and the three of them, and said, "What do you mean by that?" Take the little emperor to press our generals? ”

Ma Xiao's face sank, and he shouted: "Take your dirty hands away!" ”

The guard haha, "You say take it away, but what if I don't?" As he spoke, the guard also ruffled Murong Ziyan's hair with his hand.

Ma Xiaoquan sneered, quickly stepped forward, grabbed the guard's neck, and as soon as his mind was concentrated, Ling Ran said: "If you move again, I will burn you to death!" As he spoke, Ma Xiaoquan's other hand burst into crimson flames.

"Scared? Fire? The remaining three guards were taken aback.

"You, how dare you?"

Ma Xiaoquan took the hand burning with crimson flames in front of him and shook it twice in front of the guard: "Of course I dare, I am the emperor personally appointed the Han Immortal Marquis, and your Jingzhou Mu Liu Cong is just a part of my Han Dynasty, in terms of level, there is no gap between me and him, as for your Cai Mao Cai, he is just Liu Cong's subordinate, I killed you, compared to the identity, this Hou is much higher than your Cai Mao, you say, do I dare to kill you?" ”

As soon as Ma Xiaoquan explained this, the four guards present were stunned for a moment.

Yes, although the Cai family is very powerful, it is also a big scholar clan in Jingzhou, don't forget, there are not only the Cai family in Jingzhou, but also other scholars such as the Kuai family.

"Hou Hou Ye spare his life! Hou Ye spares his life! ”

Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Oh, now I know that I beg for mercy, okay, even if you still have some brains, you three, go, go in and call Cai Mao to come out for me, Ben Hou wants him to come out to greet him in person." ”

The remaining three guards rushed into Cai's house as if they had been amnesty.

After a while, a deep voice rang out.

"Who dares to make a big noise in front of my Cai house?"

Along with the voice, there was a big man with a length of eight feet, this big man had a pair of triangular eyes, and the corners of his mouth were downturned, giving people a bitter and hateful look.

Ma Xiaoquan extinguished the flame in his hand, threw the guard to the ground, and said politely to the big man: "But General Cai Mao? ”

Dahan looked Ma Xiaoquan up and down, and snorted coldly: "What's the matter, what's the matter?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said in his heart: Yo, it's interesting, this guy is still a hard stubble?

Ma Xiaoquan said: "I don't even dare to say my name, hey! Not a man! ”

"Who do you say isn't a man?"

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "If you don't admit it, it's not!" ”

"You're looking for death!"

Dahan was about to rush forward to fight with Ma Xiaoquan, when suddenly he said again: "Erhu, stop!" ”

Dahan was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and glared at Ma Xiaoquan hatefully, but still stopped.

At this time, another person walked out of Cai's mansion, this person was not tall, but he was very strong, with a Chinese face, and his appearance was quite handsome.

The man smiled, stepped forward and arched his hand to Ma Xiaoquan and said, "This is the Immortal Marquis, Ma Xiaoquan?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and responded politely: "It's under you, hehe, it's General Cai Mao, right?" ”

The man snorted: "Hehe, Hou Ye is tormented, it is under the bottom, hurry up, Hou Ye please come in." ”

Cai Mao said, glanced at Erhu, and then leaned slightly to the side, gave up his position, and made a gesture of invitation.

Ma Xiaoquan nodded slightly, pulled Murong Ziyan, and led Ma Yu into the Cai family's mansion.

Cai's Mansion is very spacious, and it is very luxurious, Jingzhou is rich, and the scholars in Jingzhou are even richer, Ma Yu stared at the gilded roof of Cai's Mansion, and couldn't help but be a little shocked.

"I don't have anything like this in my Ma family, it's really amazing!"

Cai Mao looked at Ma Yu with a smile and said, "Oh, this should be Ma Bing's twin sons, I don't know if it's Ma Yun or Ma Yu?" ”

Ma Yu is also a scholar, he understands the etiquette of the scholar clan very well, Cai Mao's identity is much higher than his father, Ma Yu naturally responded to Cai Mao very respectfully: "Ma Yu has seen General Cai!" ”

Cai Mao nodded and moved her gaze to Murong Ziyan.

Murong Ziyan had already prepared, and as soon as Cai Mao's eyes came, she immediately bowed lightly and said respectfully: "The little girl Murong Ziyan has seen General Cai!" General Cai's heroic atmosphere made the little woman's heart move. ”

The praise of beautiful women is always the best medicine to adjust the atmosphere, and as soon as Murong Ziyan said this, Cai Mao suddenly burst out laughing.

"Master Hou, Miss Murong is your woman?"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "General Cai, please forgive me, Neizi's language is abrupt, and I hope General Cai will bear with me!" ”

Cai Mao waved her hand and said, "Where is it, Miss Murong is beautiful and moving, and the etiquette is also very good, Hou Ye is humble, come and come, please come in, please come in."

A few people stepped into the main hall, and the people of Cai's house had already poured tea.

After taking a seat, Cai Mao asked, "Lord Shangxian, how are we in Jingzhou?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Jingzhou is quite rich under the governance of Liu Jingsheng (Liu Biao), which can be seen from General Cai's home. ”

Cai Mao asked again: "Then what about my woman in Jingzhou?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan pointed at Murong Ziyan: "Neizi Murong Ziyan is a Jingzhou woman, what does General Cai think?" ”

Cai Mao laughed: "Master Hou is really blessed, come, try my best Hongyan tea." ”

Ma Xiaoquan frowned slightly, and said in his heart: This Cai Mao must know about my coming, but he didn't mention it, tsk, it seems that the evaluation of Cai Mao in history is also a little different.

The two were polite, but Ma Xiaoquan still picked up the teacup first and gently pressed a sip of tea.

"Good tea!" Ma Xiaoquan put down the teacup, gave a thumbs up and said, "General Cai leads the troops like a god, I didn't expect this tea tasting ability to be very superb." ”

Cai Mao said modestly: "Where is it, Hou Ye has won the award, hehe"

Seeing that the master and Cai Mao couldn't get to the point, Ma Yu was a little anxious, but his seniority was not enough, so he could only endure it.

Ma Xiaoquan saw Ma Yu's displeasure, and said in his heart: This kid is still too young.

After a while, Ma Xiaoquan said: "General Cai, Ben Hou came to visit, presumably the generals also know what Ben Hou meant, right?" ”

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Ma Xiaoquan to suddenly change his mind and get straight to the point, but what kind of person is Cai Mao, how can he not understand Ma Xiaoquan's intentions if he can control the military power in Jingzhou?
