Ma Chao's words woke up Ma Teng, the county guard of Weiwu County, and then looked at the messenger, Ma Teng suddenly found that the momentum of his whole body was almost converging into a ball, as if he could explode at any time; Although there are no calluses on his hands, those slender hands can be seen as a good sword hand.

Facing everyone's vigilant gaze, the messenger laughed, then avoided this question and said, "After the Son of Heaven killed Dong Thief, he gathered 150,000 troops and hunted in Shanglin Yuan. ”

"Hunting ~~~"

The second son, Ma Xiu, who was behind Ma Teng, exclaimed with a hint of envy.

At only thirteen years old, he is about the same age as the Son of Heaven, and he is always very interested in horseback riding, hunting and other things, and the reason for his envy is not that the Son of Heaven can hunt in Shanglin Yuan.

"Hunting with an army of 150,000, you will definitely be able to hit a lot of prey~~~"

"Haha~~~"

Some cute teenagers Ma Xiu, a tiger-headed sentence, made everyone laugh.

Scratching his head, Matthew showed his cute little tiger teeth: "Isn't it?" ”

"What a tiger, a wolf, a deer, Your Majesty can definitely hunt a lot of ~~~"

"The second brother is right. Hungry haha~~~"

Ma Chao, who has always been cool, almost laughed on the horse's back.

"Okay, Chao'er, Xiu'er, all step aside."

Father's undoubted sonorous and powerful order came, and Ma Chao, who was smiling, and Ma Xiu, who was confused, both retreated to the side, not daring to come forward to harass the messenger of the Son of Heaven.

"General Ma is really a blessing, these two tigers, after the Great Wall, they will be a tiger general, and they will also be the pillars of the country in the future!"

"Thank you, Messenger, for your kind words."

After being woken up by his son, Ma Teng reacted, this messenger was probably coming to find him. Otherwise, how could the imperial court send such a person whose force was no less than his to be the one who carried the decree.

This made him a little worried and a little excited.

The worry is that the imperial court specially sent an envoy to come, and something big must have happened; And the excitement is that he has not been forgotten by the Han family.

If it is a messenger sent by the Son of Heaven. That means that the young son of heaven is very interested in their Ma clan!

A group of people, riding with mixed tastes in their hearts, came to Mafu after a while.

After entering, Ma Teng summoned out the family, his wife Hu, his third son Ma Tie, and his only daughter Ma Yunlu to see this very powerful messenger of the Son of Heaven.

After eating. The messenger of the Son of Heaven burped and gestured lightly to Ma Teng.

"Madame, go down, all of you. The husband has important matters to talk to the messenger. ”

However, Ma Chao didn't seem to be able to believe this messenger of the Son of Heaven, and the tiger-headed golden spear in his hand was clenched, staring at the indifferent messenger in front of him.

For the eldest son Ma Chao's pure filial piety, the Hu family couldn't say much, so he had to take the rest of the children down.

looked at the two fathers and sons in front of him. The messenger of the Son of Heaven took out a golden decree from the placket of his clothes. Said softly to Ma Teng and Ma Chao: "The Son of Heaven has a will, and Weiwu County is too guarded by Ma Teng to receive the order!" ”

"My Emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Pulling Ma Chao, who was twisting his face, the two fathers and sons knelt together in front of the messenger of the Son of Heaven.

"The Son of Heaven said: I only rule the world with literature, and fight chaos with force. And Ma Shoucheng is loyal and brave, burning his salary in Weiwu County, and governing a happy land. Sincerity is the talent of scripture and martial arts, and courage and bravery. Qing is the pillar of the imperial court, and the dry city of the country is also able to be both civil and military, and he can make efforts to repay his achievements without pampering them. I didn't know about the border affairs, and the thief Han then seized Jincheng. Disturbing my Liangzhou and mutilating the Han people is really a big thief of the Han Dynasty. Zite awarded the Qing as the ruling Jinwu, the garrison of the mighty county, the Hu soldiers of the west of the river, and the Kou of the Jincheng, Qinzai. ”

"Thanksgiving!"

Father Ma Teng's decisive and crisp voice was as loud as striking a bell, which made Ma Chao on the side frightened.

Fighting Han Sui is not that simple!

After the father and son got up, the messenger of the Son of Heaven took out a long letter written on paper from his cuff and handed it to Ma Teng, who was holding Jinwu.

"Tear Pull~~~"

Tearing open a gap, Ma Teng unfolded the letter and looked at it carefully, his face flickering and dark, unpredictable.

"Father~~~"

Ma Chao, who was only a fifteen-year-old boy, was anxious when he saw his father's changed face, but he didn't dare to offend the etiquette, so he rushed over to see what was written in the letter.

"Whew~~~"

After reading it carefully again, Ma Teng burned the letter under the oil lamp, and then clenched his fists and said to the messenger of the Son of Heaven: "Please also ask the Suzaku envoy to reply to Your Majesty, and the minister Ma Teng, swear to death!" ”

"Suzaku Envoy~~~"

The kung fu of a letter, Ma Chao was a little confused.

"The little general doesn't have to be careful, under is the Gongwei Division under the command of the Son of Heaven, and the Vermilion Bird Envoy, one of the four major commanders."

"Look, this is the official seal under it."

As he spoke, Shi Ah had a silver seal on the ground, and there were six big characters inlaid with gold below: Gong Wei Si Suzaku Envoy.

Han system, 2,000 stones, silver seal turtle button, the text is called 'chapter'.

After handing the silver seal turtle button back to Shi Ah respectfully, Ma Chao sighed in his heart, obediently, this is a high-ranking official of two thousand stones in the imperial court, and his level is about the same as his father!

After correcting his identity, Shi Ah officially sealed the ribbon for Ma Teng.

First is the silver seal representing Jiuqing and the two thousand stone high-ranking officials, and then the green silk ribbon.

"My Emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

After kneeling again to receive the seal and ribbon, Ma Teng's identity changed from the guard of a county to the ruling Jinwu of the imperial court.

Zhi Jinwu, whose real name is Lieutenant, is responsible for patrolling, prohibiting violence, supervising rape and other tasks in the capital, and is in charge of the Northern Army; and the guards who guarded the palace ban in charge of the Southern Army, which were on the outside.

Although it is not the position of Jiuqing, but the Jinwu, the rank is 2,000 stones, it can be said that it is not the Jiuqing of Jiuqing!

After the award, Shi A told again: "For the sake of the future plan, General Ma's current identity cannot be exposed for the time being, and I hope the general will forgive me." ”

"The envoy can rest assured, it is a matter of great affairs in the world, and Ma will be tight-lipped. Chao'er, today's events must not be passed out quietly, otherwise there will be a big chaos, you know? ”

Father Ma Teng's serious words made the young man Ma Chao understand the importance of the matter, and after nodding his head vigorously, there was a pride in his heart.

The Son of Heaven can secretly order his father, which means that in His Majesty's heart, the Ma family is trustworthy, and it is also worthy of the Son of Heaven's entrustment, otherwise why would he worship his father Ma Teng for such an important official position as Zhijinwu.

When you marry a wife, you should take Yin Lihua, and when you are an official, you should be a ruling Jinwu!

Emperor Guangwu's words back then, but how many good men were inspired, and Zhijinwu was the dream of a man from the Han family to learn literature and practice martial arts!

The so-called father-son connection, Ma Teng's heart is also surging, and it is extremely excited.

Looking at the excitement of the two fathers and sons, Suzaku made Shi Ah feel impressed, the Son of Heaven can actually guess that Ma Teng and Ma Chao are loyal and righteous people without relying on any intelligence, and they are really worthy of being the sons of heaven of the Han family who can obtain the dream of Gaozu.

Shi A admired the Son of Heaven while quietly waiting for the two people in front of him to return to nature, and then he could move on to the next step.

After his mood calmed down, Ma Teng came back to his senses and said with some doubts: "According to Your Majesty's will, the envoy will stay here to convey the holy will for the Son of Heaven, I don't know how to convey this~~~"

"General Ma, please follow me out of the mansion, you will know at a glance!"

Ma Chao, who surged his curiosity into his heart, forcibly stayed in the Ma Mansion, regardless of the eldest son who scratched his heart with the cat's paws, Ma Teng was alone and followed Shi A out of the mansion.

After leaving the Horse Mansion, the two of them turned to the right, and after walking less than fifty paces, they came to a compound.

Walking into the courtyard, dozens of bird cages attracted Ma Teng's attention, and of course, dozens of warriors with sharp blades crouched aside.

The cold breath came to his face, which made Ma Teng's heart tremble, if they made a move now, he, a high-ranking official of the imperial court who had just obtained the position of holding Jinwu, would probably die immediately.

"Cuckoo~~~Cuckoo~~~"

After Shi Ah let out two bird calls, dozens of Gong Guards in the shadows gradually retreated.

Taking out fifteen scrolls of bamboo slips, as well as a comparison table of Arabic numerals and Chinese characters, Shi A solemnly handed it to Ma Teng: "These are the top secrets of the information transmitted by the Son of Heaven, and they cannot be obtained by the confidants of the Son of Heaven." ”

"In addition to Gong Weisi and Guanzhong Heavy General, in Liangzhou, and even in the whole world, you are the first to get it."

A cool breeze blew, but Ma Teng had a hot fire burning in his heart, holding those bamboo slips, and muttered to himself: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will follow the ancestor Ma Yuan, and return the body of the Han horse leather ~~~" (to be continued.) )
