"Horse ...... Miss Ma! ”
Fang Shao watched in surprise as Ma Yunlu slowly approached, and in his expression, he couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to this woman who once made him think that she was extremely difficult. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ma Yunlu put away his bow, rode his horse slowly forward, and said with a smile: "General Fang, your feet are so fast, I almost didn't keep up." ”
Fang Shao came back from his astonishment, his mind calmed down a lot, and he hurriedly bowed, "Thank you Miss Ma for helping." ”
Ma Yunlu's eyes moved, "Aren't there a saying in the Central Plains, what is the grace of a drop of water, when the spring reciprocates, General Fang, I have saved you now, it seems a little stingy for you to just say thank you." ”
It seems that Ma Yunlu is deeply influenced by Hu Feng and speaks straightforwardly, even if he helps others, how can he ask others to repay him so straightforwardly.
Fang Shao had no choice but to say: "But I don't know how Miss Ma wants Shao to repay, as long as it is within his ability, Shao will do his best." ”
Ma Yunlu looked overjoyed, and said happily: "It's very simple, I'm going to follow you." ”
Follow me?
As soon as these words came out, even Ah Shan and the others changed their expressions, and then several people looked at each other and snickered.
Fang Shao was a little overwhelmed by this woman's straightforwardness, what is this, a famous star, in front of so many people, openly wants to "throw his arms" to himself, even in the era when Fang Shao was in the beginning, such a straightforward and unrestrained female surname is rare, and after soaking in this era for so long, Fang Shao of course can't adapt to it for a while.
"Follow...... Follow me? Miss Ma, it's not me, it's just ......"
Fang Shao didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but at this time, Ma Yunlu laughed, "General Fang, you still think it's so beautiful." I just said that I wanted to follow you and go to Hanzhong to visit my eldest brother, you misunderstood. ”
As soon as Ma Yunlu explained this, Fang Shao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but the embarrassment became more and more serious. He turned his head and glared at the snickering subordinates a few times, before leading Ma Yunlu aside and patiently persuading: "Miss Ma, it's not that I don't agree to you, it's just that I'm going to Hanzhong, but I'm on official business, so I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient to take you like this." ”
Ma Yunlu looked disapproving, "What's inconvenient about this, I don't get in the way of you, I'm just going with you, besides, if you encounter robbers on the road or something, I can still protect you." ”
If you really want to go on the road with Ma Yunlu, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just that this Ma Yunlu was placed in Chengdu as a half-hostage as a family member of a general from another town, this is a habitual restraint method used by the monarch for the general, if Fang Shao takes her away from Chengdu like this, although no one may dare to pursue it, but it is a little inappropriate to spread it out.
Fang Shao wanted to tell Ma Yunlu this real reason, but he was afraid of hurting her, after thinking about it, the surname Suo no longer had so many scruples, thinking that people had saved your life anyway, a manly man, what was the big deal about doing a small favor, where did he look like a man.
So, Fang Shao said: "Since that's the case, then without further ado, let's hurry up and get on the road." ”
"Great, General Fang, you're really interesting." Ma Yunlu was happy and clenched, and rubbed his arm, which was the first step to pat the horse.
Looking at the flying hair, Fang Shao shook his head helplessly and smiled, and also urged the horse to follow.
Before dark, they arrived at Fu County, which is the key point of the road between Zilu and Chengdu, and is an important ferry port on the Fu River, and is a strategic town in the north of Chengdu.
Ma Yunlu didn't clear the customs disc, if it was just herself, she wouldn't be able to go far at all, but fortunately, Fang Shao was there, so she disguised herself as a man, pretended to be Fang Shao's entourage, and entered the city smoothly.
That night, Fang Shao and the others stayed at the official post. Fang Shao is a high-ranking official of the Great Sima Mansion, a popular person around the King of Hanzhong, and the small Fucheng County Ling heard that such a big man passed by his jurisdiction, so he naturally attached great importance to it.
So, the county order deliberately emptied the official post so as not to disturb Fang Shangshu's rest, and personally came to the door, bringing a lot of good wine, meat and local specialties to filial piety.
Fang Shao is also very good at being a man, and the county order is not a heavy bribe, but a small filial piety, I hope that this big official from the central government can say a few more good words when evaluating his political performance in the future, why not do it.
So he happily enjoyed the warm hospitality of the county order, and pretended to ask some questions about the people's livelihood and taxes in Fucheng County, and then comforted him, saying that the leader is very optimistic about you, you have to work hard and other encouragement.
After being full of wine and food, the county order also retired with interest, and Fang Shao rewarded the soldiers with all the filial piety of the county order.
At this time, it was only the beginning of the lights, and it was not yet the time of curfew, Fang Shao wanted to go to the night market on the street, but he didn't want to just step out of the door, when a heavy rain came unexpectedly, interrupting Fang Shao's thoughts.
"The weather in Shu is just like a woman's face, it really changes, alas." Fang Shao sighed with emotion, stretched out his hand and continued to drop water droplets from the eaves, looking very bored.
"General Fang, you have a lot of resentment towards women." A resentful, but soft voice came into his ears, interrupting Fang Shao's thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw that not far from each other, Ma Yunlu was also standing on the railing looking at him and laughing.
Fang Shao coughed lightly a few times and laughed at himself: "Of course not, what's the matter, Miss Ma hasn't rested yet?" ”
Ma Yunlu sighed, "It's a rainy day again, how can I sleep." ”
As soon as the words fell, a muffled thunder sounded, and Ma Yunlu couldn't help but tremble in fright, looking like that, he seemed to be very scared.
This made Fang Shao feel a little strange, a Xiliang woman like her, who has followed her father and brother since she was a child and licked blood with a knife, is estimated to be the same as Sun Shangxiang, she is also a person who kills people without blinking, and looking at her ease when she shot the robber today, it is estimated that she is more ruthless than Sun Shangxiang, but unexpectedly, such a woman will be frightened by a muffled thunder.
Perhaps, she is mostly pretending, women are the best at pretending to be pitiful and timid, in order to win the love of men.
Fang Shao guessed like this, so he didn't want to have too much ambiguity with her, so he said: "It's not early, I have to go tomorrow, Miss Ma should rest early." ”
Fang Shao said, turned around and was about to go back to the room, at this time, another thunderbolt flashed in the sky, and Ma Yunlu followed again, and hurriedly shouted: "General Fang, stay." ”
Fang Shao turned back and said blankly: "Miss Ma, is there anything else?" ”
Ma Yunlu hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "There is thunder and lightning in the sky, I am a little scared, I really can't sleep, can General Fang come and talk to me." ”
"Damn, that's true."
Fang Shao originally didn't plan to ignore her, a brainless girl, but when he saw her frightened and pitiful look, he couldn't bear it, so the ghost sent the god to agree.
When he entered the house, Ma Yunlu hurriedly closed all the doors and windows tightly, making Fang Shao chatter, so that Fang Shao couldn't help but have other ideas.
"Hehe, let General Fang make you smile." After Ma Yunlu was busy, he sat down, facing Fang Shao's strange eyes, looking a little embarrassed.
Click!
It was another thunder, although the voice was much weaker because the doors and windows were closed, but Ma Yunlu still couldn't help but shiver.
Fang Shao clearly saw that there seemed to be a few drops of cold sweat on her forehead, if she was really pretending, her expression could be fake, but the sweat on her forehead couldn't be pretended.
So, Fang Shao really couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, so he asked: "Miss Ma, forgive Shao for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, I really don't know one thing. ”
Ma Yunlu's face turned a little pale, "What is wrong with General Fang?" ”
Fang Shao coughed a few times, "I actually mean that a heroine like Miss Ma can go into battle to kill the enemy is also a matter of raising his hand, how can it be ...... How can you be afraid of thunder? ”
Ma Yunlu was stunned at first, and then sighed, "Why do you mention this sad thing." ”
Fang Shao looked at her expression, as if her question had indeed touched on her past sadness, so she had no choice but to say: "That, Shao is just curious, please don't be surprised." ”
Ma Yunlu was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled slightly, "That's it, it's okay to tell you, but I'll only tell you one person, you are not allowed to tell anyone." ”
"I promise." Fang Shao nodded very seriously.
Ma Yunlu's eyes turned to the flickering candle flame, and melancholy and gloom gradually emerged in his eyes, as if the dark things that were sealed in his heart were slowly being revealed.
"My biological mother was snatched from a tribe of the Qiang people by my father in a war, and in those years of my childhood, my father was just a small warlord in Xiliang, and countless warlords of all sizes in Xiliang were fighting almost every day, grabbing land and population. At that time, my father had just conquered a big city, so he took my mother and me to live in the city. However, a few days later, my father fell for the tactics of several warlords, and left the city with a large army of military horses, but the enemy suddenly attacked and killed people on sight after entering the city, until they reached my house, and I clearly remember that it was a thunderstorm. ”
Ma Yunlu's expression gradually revealed a look of fear, and it was obvious that the memories made her unbearable.
"At that time, more than a dozen enemies broke into the house and killed anyone they saw, and my mother hid me under the bed before she had time to take me away, and at that moment, several enemies suddenly rushed in and cut my mother to the ground with a single sword. My mother was not dead at the time, her face was facing me, and I watched as they slashed her alive, and my mother was crying out in pain, but I couldn't hear it, because there was lightning and thunder outside. So, after that, when I heard thunder, I couldn't help but be afraid. ”
So that's the case, Fang Shao sighed in his heart, he didn't want this seemingly free woman to have such a painful past, he sighed and asked, "What about later?" ”
"Then I swore that I would kill those people with my own hands to avenge my mother. At the age of twelve, I did, and I slaughtered with my own hands the leader of the tribe that killed my mother, and his family of more than fifty. ”
Hearing these words, Fang Shao couldn't help but shudder.
