Chapter 135: The Tavern of Chang'an

"Xiaoling, didn't you say that the wine brewed in this tavern is the best? If it doesn't taste good, I'm going to punish you! Ma Hong smiled and smiled at the girl sitting opposite. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This girl is Gan Ning's daughter Gan Ling, Gan Ling has the same dressing style as her father, and she also likes to tie two bells around her waist, but there is one thing that Gan Ling and Gan Ning are not like, that is, Gan Ning will get drunk whenever she drinks, but Gan Ling is quite able to drink.

"Uncle rest assured, if it doesn't taste good, Gan Ling will let her uncle punish her."

Gan Ling said very confidently.

"Okay, if it doesn't taste good, I'll marry you to Deng Ai."

Ma Hong laughed.

Gan Ling blushed for a while, and said shyly: "Uncle hasn't drunk yet, and he's already drunk." ”

Deng Ai bowed his head and was silent.

Ma Hong laughed and said: "It's not charming and self-intoxicating, Xiaoling, you have grown into a big girl, and you have reached a charming age, you say yes!" Deng Ai. ”

Deng Ai was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

Hao Zhao, who was sitting on the side, looked at Ma Hong carefully, he felt that Ma Hong looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered that he had seen it from afar in Taiyuan City, and the donkey-faced young man beside Ma Hong was also by Ma Hong's side at that time, and he was also written down by Hao Zhao.

Hao Zhao saw the king of Chu going out to visit and drinking in this tavern, he was in a great mood, he hadn't seen the king of Chu for many days, and this time was an opportunity, how could he let it go. Hao Zhao stood up and walked to Ma Hong's table with a wine bowl.

At this time, Deng Ai's afterglow saw someone coming with wine, and his right hand touched the saber on his waist to prevent accidents, while Ma Hong looked at the young man walking towards him with a smile, Ma Hong didn't have any intention to worry, as he entered this tavern, more than a dozen guests came in the tavern one after another, and these people were all ghost pawns responsible for protecting Ma Hong, as long as this person dared to do something to Ma Hong, he would immediately die under the knife.

Hao Zhao walked to the opposite side of Ma Hong with the wine, and Deng Ai's sword was already half out of his body under the table.

Ma Hong's face remained unchanged and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Your Excellency?" ”

Hao Zhao nodded and said, "I've always wanted to find a chance to meet you, but I didn't have a chance. ”

"Oh? Do you know who I am? ”

"Yes. I have wanted to see you since you came to Taiyuan, but I have no chance, so I can only come to Chang'an to look for a chance to meet you. Hao Zhao spoke unhurriedly and sat down next to the dining table.

Ma Hong saw that the person opposite did not have a trace of murderous aura, so he glanced at Deng Ai, Deng Ai nodded and asked, "Your Excellency is from Taiyuan?" ”

"Exactly, in Xia Taiyuan Hao Zhao, I have seen ......" Hao Zhao did not say the rest of the words, nor did he perform the first salute, because there were many people in the tavern and the fish were mixed, and Hao Zhao could not let Ma Hong's identity be exposed.

When Ma Hong heard Hao Zhao's name, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said with a smile: "Your Excellency wants to see me, what is the picture?" ”

"Naturally, I want to join the king's command and make contributions." Hao Zhao whispered, but the voice reached Ma Hong's ears very clearly.

Ma Hong smiled and said: "Okay, I need a talent like Your Excellency, what do you think of the position of captain of Chang'an North Gate, responsible for the defense of Chang'an North Gate." ”

Hao Zhao was shocked! He didn't say a few words to the king of Chu, the king of Chu agreed to him, and also gave him a big official position, this captain of the north gate of Chang'an is an important position, just by saying a few words to the king of Chu, the king of Chu gave him such an official position, which made Hao Zhao very shocked.

"What? Are you a petty official? ”

"Definitely! I was really flattered under it. ”

Ma Hong smiled and said: "From the time you left your seat and walked towards me, I have already observed you, you are a person who practices martial arts, you have courage, eyesight, and you are very smart, such a person is naturally an extraordinary person, and I will accept an extraordinary person." ”

In fact, Ma Hongcai won't say, I already knew how many catties and taels you had, I saw from the history books that you had a good set of defending the city, and you also repelled Zhuge Liang.

"The king praised it falsely, and he was flattered by it!"

Hao Zhao bowed to Ma Hong, but buried his head very low, which was clearly a posture to bow to Ma Hong.

Ma Hong smiled and said, "Come, sit down and drink." ”

Hao Zhao saw that Ma Hong was also a bold and talented person, so he didn't excuse himself and sat down to drink a glass of wine with Ma Hong.

Before the age of twenty, he liked the feeling of being drunk, before the age of thirty, he occasionally liked to get drunk, and after the age of thirty, Ma Hong no longer wanted to get drunk, because now he understands a truth, the king, the more he likes something, the more he can't touch it, except for rights.

After everyone drank two pots of wine, Ma Hong went home with Gan Ling, who was blushing, and Deng Ai, who was thoughtful, and gave Hao Zhao a handwritten message to Hao Zhao to report to Ma Liang in Chang'an Mansion.

What is luxury?

Walking into the outer courtyard of Ganning Mansion, there is a pure white marble surface under your feet, and there are two rows of "gold and silver trees" planted on both sides of the road, why are they called "gold and silver trees"? For the trunks of these trees are made of silver, and the leaves are all gold. Under each of the gold and silver trees stood a young woman with a beautiful face, all wrapped in red brocade and covered with a soft green gauze, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, and the folds of the skirt flowed to the ground like snow and moonlight. Ma Hong said unfreely: "I don't know, people must think that this is a brothel." ”

Gan Ning likes gorgeous clothes, gorgeous women, and of course, he also likes luxurious mansions. Ma Hong said this, in fact, he laughed in his heart, Gan Ning likes money is not a bad thing, he likes his subordinates with advantages and disadvantages, especially those who hold power and have obvious shortcomings, so that it is easy to control.

What is waste?

The inner courtyard of Ganning Mansion is specifically a small lake, and a small bridge made of white marble leads from the entrance of the inner courtyard to the entrance of the first floor of the seven-story gambling building, and on the railings on both sides of the small bridge are placed all kinds of fresh fruits, which are served on plates. Although Gan Ning led the troops outside, he bought a luxurious mansion in Chang'an, and sent his son Gan Gui, Gan Shu and daughter Gan Ling to Chang'an, his move was obvious. Ma Liang is Ma Hong's younger brother and the commander of Chang'an. Although Ma Hong didn't say anything, he didn't restrict Gan Ning, Gan Ning sent all his family to Chang'an and sent it to Ma Liang's territory, the purpose of which was to reassure Ma Hong that he was absolutely loyal to Ma Hong.

Although Gan Ning was also the first general to follow Ma Hong, he was indeed different from Pang Tong and Yang Yi, Yang Yi and Pang Tong grew up with Ma Hong since childhood, and their relationship was much thicker than his relationship with Ma Hong.

Historically, when the emperor was successful, most of the people who died were generals with heavy troops, although Gan Ning was a martial artist, but he was not stupid, and understood this truth, so he revealed this intention to Ma Hong in advance. There is a very good saying, Taiping is a general, and the general is not allowed to see Taiping, and the generals who have worked hard to climb to this point do not want to die unexplained, so they will become cautious and smart.

Ma Hong smiled, Gan Ning became smarter, which is a good thing. (To be continued.) )
