Gradually entering the late autumn, the days are as cold as a day. On the evening of this day, www.biquge.info north wind blew for two hours, and snow began to fall.

When the lights were on, the snow fell even more: the silver floc was flying all over the sky, and it was a white scene in all directions.

"Whew!" Someone came by stepping on the snow.

Ma Riyan wore a patch on his shoulders, a broken felt hat on his head, his hands between his sleeves, and a stream of hot white gas slipped out of his nose, his body was emaciated, his face was haggard, and he still had a few thatches mixed around his waist, if he was given another broken bowl and squatted on the side of the road, he would be a beggar.

Ma Riyan walked to the door of Yanfu, and was not in a hurry to knock on the door, took out his hands from his sleeves, gently dusted off the snow on his clothes, and tidied up his clothes by the way.

The two subordinates of the Yan Mansion, huddled in the corner to bake the fire, and the servant covered in brown linen clothes was dozing, his right ear suddenly moved a few times, he half-raised his head and said, "Li Shan, someone knocked on the door, you go and open it!" ”

The servant in the black coat, who stirred the firewood, said with a smile: "Who will knock on the door on such a cold day?" I'm afraid it's tight outside, you heard it wrong. ”

The servant, who was covered in brown sackcloth, pricked up his ears and listened intently, but sure enough, he did not hear any more knocking at the door, shook his head, and continued to shrink his head and doze off.

Ma Riyan, who was waiting outside the door, saw that no one opened the door, and stretched out his hand again, but he hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to put it down, after sighing, he resolutely turned around and walked towards the endless night.

Ma Riyan walked towards the darkness, and some people came from the darkness, and the two happened to meet at the collision of light and darkness, and the visitor glanced at Ma Riyan suspiciously, while he always held his head high, and his face was full of depression.

I thought that I would pass by like this, but the person who came suddenly turned his head and asked, "Your Excellency is the ambassador of the DPRK and China, Ma Riyan and Mrs. Ma?" ”

Ma Riyan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm not, I'm not ......"

While waving his hand, he staggered backwards, but before he could take a few steps, he was caught by the man, "Matthew don't go, it's me." ”

"You...... Who are you? Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Ma Riyan asked cautiously.

The man bowed, "In Xiayangzhou, the governor Shi Yanghong." ”

"It turned out to be Yang Changshi, look up for a long time!" Ma Riyan hurriedly returned the salute, with a slight look of fear between his eyebrows.

Yang Hong said with a smile: "Mrs. Ma, please rest assured, I will not tell Yuan Zhoumu about your coming to Huaiyin without permission." ”

Ma Riyan smiled wryly.

Yang Hong said again: "Mrs. Ma, you're here to find Master Yan, right?" ”

Ma Riyan hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.

Yang Hong asked, "Then why didn't you go in when you got to the door?" ”

Ma Riyan smiled awkwardly, "I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered." Master Yan should not be at home. ”

"It must be some kind of lazy person, doing a good thing." Yang Hong gritted his teeth hatefully, grabbed Ma Riyan's hand, and said, "Ma Taifu, Master Yan has just returned from the cold house, and he wants to come at home, you and I will go with you again." ”

Although Ma Riyan was a little reluctant, he finally followed Yang Hong back to the gate of the Yan Mansion.

Yang Hong knocked on the door not as lightly as Ma Riyan, he directly pulled the door knocker, buckled it a few times, and the deep voice woke up the two sleepy servants at once.

The servant, dressed in brown linen, immediately sprang up from his seat, kicked his companion, who was still confused, and trotted forward to open the door.

When the door of the mansion opened, he saw Yang Hong and the others standing outside the door, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he saluted: "Yang Changshi, the villain doesn't know that you are coming, and I hope to forgive me." ”

Yang Hong scolded with a smile: "You lazy fool, what should you be guilty of hanging the adult next to me out of the door for a long time?" ”

The servant covered in brown linen clothes was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized, "Yang Changshi, the villain is guilty, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

"That's it, that's it!" Yang Hong waved his hand, let Ma Riyan who was born, and said: "Hurry up and apologize to this adult, and then go back to your master, just say that there are distinguished guests coming from afar." ”

"Whoa!"

Yan Xiang heard that Yang Hong personally led the distinguished guests from afar to the door, so he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and came to the main hall to meet the guests.

When he saw Ma Riyan, who was described as thin, he was obviously stunned, and after drinking and retreating, he hurriedly invited the two guests to the first place to sit down.

Yan Xiang asked, "Mrs. Ma, shouldn't you stay in Shouchun?" Why did you come to Huaiyin? ”

"I ...... Alas! Ma Riyan wanted to answer several times, but he didn't know how to speak, and finally just shook his head helplessly, patted his thigh, and got up to leave, "I'd better go back to Shouchun." ”

"This ......" Yan Xiang didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in this Ma Riyan gourd, and looked at Yang Hong in embarrassment, hoping that he could give an explanation.

Yang Hong said: "Ma Taifu is here to ask Master Yan to say a few more kind words in front of Yuan Zhoumu, in order to return to the dynasty as soon as possible, am I right?" ”

Ma Riyan's shoulders trembled slightly, but he didn't speak.

Yang Hong smiled, but was also silent.

Yan Xiang hurriedly took over the conversation and persuaded: "Mrs. Ma, don't be careful. Yang Changshi is upright and upright, and he is most loyal to the imperial court. Don't forget, when the lord said that he was going to put you under house arrest, he was the first to stand up against it. ”

Ma Riyan's tense body relaxed a little, slowly turned his head, and smiled at Yang Hong: "I heard Yang Changshi's divine calculation earlier, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." ”

"Matthew Fu praised!" Yang Hong smiled and waved his hand, pondered for a while, and said, "Actually, you can't find Master Yan for this matter. ”

Yan Xiang smiled: "By the way, we have to find Yang Changshi for this matter." ”

Yang Hong waved his hand, "It's not okay to look for me." ”

Ma Riyan asked with a puzzled expression: "Who do you have to look for?" ”

Yang Hong smiled mysteriously, "Find Yuan Gongzi." ”

"Him?" Ma Riyan was stunned for a moment, and the doubt on his face became even stronger, "I don't have any friendship with Yuan Gongzi, can I do it?" ”

Yang Hong said: "You can't do it, don't you still have Master Yan's book?" ”

Master Yan asked, "What does Yang Changshi mean by this?" ”

Yang Hong stretched out his hand and pointed to the snow scene outside, and said with a smile: "This sudden heavy snow can also help." ”

When Yuan Jiang walked to the front hall, he happened to meet Li Zicheng who came in the heavy snow.

After the salute, Li Zicheng said: "Childe, the snow is too tight and not suitable for marching, I think it is better to wait for the snow to stop before going on the expedition." ”

Yuan Jiang stretched out his hand to dust off the snowflakes on Li Zicheng's shoulders, and said with a smile: "You are the master of the three armies, you can call the shots in this matter, there is no need to report to me." ”

Yuan Jiang took two steps and said, "You go back and tell Youping that your father has promised to lend him soldiers." Once the snow has stopped, you can set off. ”

"Whoa!"

Li Zicheng said yes and left the front hall.

As soon as he left, Uncle Liu, the housekeeper, walked forward with a vermilion invitation card, "Childe, Master Yan invites you to the banquet." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Jiang raised his eyebrows, glanced back at 36E, and waved his big hand, "Then let's go!" ”
