General Gao's request was not excessive.

When Ma Ling came back from Sa Mo Jian with thousands of athletes, Gao Qianqian was only fifteen or sixteen years old, which was the age of a bud, and now more than five years have passed, and Gao Qianqian is already over twenty years old.

At this age, in Ma Lan's previous life, she was naturally very young, but in this era, a girl in her early twenties can already be called an old girl.

As for Ma Lan himself, he is already in his thirties, he has always had a reputation for floating waves, he has a lot of concubines at home, and he has not married a wife in his thirties, which is simply a strange existence in this era, if it were not for this marriage was given by the emperor, the tall general might not be willing to marry his daughter to him.

For the tall general's request, Ma Lu accepted it very happily. It was a woman who really walked into the depths of his heart, he really owed her too much, and now that he had settled down, he naturally had such thoughts. A ceremony may not be anything to him, but for every woman in this era, fame is an extremely important thing, he can't give anything to that girl, the only thing he can give her is probably this.

In the past, Ma Lan refused to marry his wife, naturally because of Kang Xiaoyu, but now he is a different person, so naturally there is no such obstacle. Although the stunning Kangju woman still dreams from time to time, Ma Lan knew very well when she was awake about what was really important to him.

Gao Qianqian is his, and Kang Xiaoyu is not his.

This time to return to Anxi, this is a big deal, plus the matter of becoming the governor of Moxi. It's a double happiness. Uncle Qi has been waiting for this day. When the time comes, the old man does not know how to rejoice.

Of course. When marrying Gao Qianqian, another woman is also going to marry back together. The young lady was a poor woman, and she was already his woman, and the title was to be given to her. Besides, according to the emperor's will, she and Gao Qianqian are both wives, so naturally they have to marry together, otherwise it will be regarded as disobeying the decree, which is a big crime.

After Yang Youniang evacuated from Chang'an. Under the escort of the Anxi spies, it was extremely safe, and the speed of the group was extremely fast, and Ma Lu had already seen Ma Ling before the Lanzhou meeting, and it had already stepped into the Hexi Corridor for a long time when the Lanzhou meeting was held, and now it was probably almost to Tingzhou, and of course it may have arrived. was supposed to go directly to Anxi (Qiuzi), but after knowing that her father died of illness in Tingzhou, Yang Youniang insisted on going to Tingzhou, which is also her duty as a person, so Ma Ling didn't stop her. Let her go to Tingzhou first, and then transfer to Anxi from Baishui Stream. Wait until after returning to Anzai. Yang Youniang will probably go to Anxi, and it will be a matter of heart to marry the second daughter at the same time.

After all, the Gao family is from Goguryeo, and with Ma Luan's son-in-law, it is also a big reinforcement, which can enhance the status of the Gao family in Chang'an, but for the Yang family, the benefits are relatively limited. The Yang family's biggest reliance on Concubine Yang heard the news of Li Longji's death, and committed suicide in the Huaqing Palace on the same day, and Yang Guozhong, who had the highest status in the Yang family, died of illness in Tingzhou, although Yang Guozhong was a son-in-law with Ma Lan before he died, but he often slandered Ma Lu in the court, and the disagreement between Weng and his son-in-law is a well-known thing, now Yang Guozhong is dead, but Ma Lu's power is getting stronger and stronger, and for Yang Guozhong's sons, they will probably regret Yang Guozhong's previous behavior.

However, there are also benefits for the Yang family, that is, the people of the Yang family will not be too miserable, Yang Guozhong has a deep foundation in the court, and after his death, it was originally a situation where the tree would fall and scatter, but now after all, there is a powerful uncle, even if it is a person who hated Yang Guozhong in the past, it is not easy to take the people of the Yang family at this time, after all, that uncle is a figure who cannot be provoked.

Stepping into Mohe Yan Moraine again, through these eight hundred miles of quicksand, the mood is completely different. The situation has been completely clear, and with the joy of being about to embrace the beauty, Ma Lu's face often has a smile. In years, he had never felt so easy.

Along the way, there was constant news from Chang'an, Li Juan gathered more than 100 literati within ten days, and dozens of carriages were rushing here, Mi Xue took over all the business of the Ma family in Chang'an City, and was looking for a suitable person in charge, she was also going back to the west of the city. On the Liaodong side, Li Siye and Guo Ziyi have returned to their respective stations, due to the cold weather, temporarily hold their troops, and according to the news from Xincheng, the king of Silla, Kim Famin, has ceded half of the country, Li Jing has occupied four of the states in Silla Kyushu, has been on the border of Chenbing, sent a large number of troops into the hometown of Baekje and the hometown of Silla to kill and plunder, it seems that the destruction of Silla will be this winter and next spring. When Li Jing completely destroyed Silla, Guo Ziyi and Li Siye should also march. Of course, now that the two of them are standing still, they may also have the intention of waiting for Li Jing to completely destroy Silla, and then pick peaches, otherwise they can capture Xincheng first.

None of this is a big deal, and the situation is calm on the whole, and Li Jing is destined to be impossible, because what he is counting on is his own support, and it is impossible for him to support him. People who are waiting for others to give happiness often can't get happiness, Li Jing definitely didn't think that he would reach an agreement with Zhang Xun, if he knew, I was afraid he would have to jump into the sea. Of course, it won't be long before Li Jing knows the news that he was named the governor of the west of the city, and at that time I don't know if he will really jump into the sea.

And the business in Chang'an is not a big problem, it is the result of Yang Youniang's hard work in Chang'an City, and she has the mind to compare with Gao Qianqian, but she is naturally not as good as Gao Qianqian. Ma Lan doesn't care about the matter of wealth, he is now the master of the west of the quicksand, even if he is not much different from the emperor, for people who are almost in control of everything, what can wealth and silk be. These wealth will be put in Chang'an City and slowly grow, whether it is more or less he does not care, and when the young lady arrives in Anxi, if she doesn't want to discard it, let her take care of it remotely, of course, it is best to let go.

It is very important for scholars to come to the west of the city, but this number of people is far from enough, and in the future, the west of the city will promote the Han civilization, and the more people who come, the better. But you have to take your time, and when the moraine is attractive enough for readers, you don't have to worry about no one coming. Michelle is the best Anxi spy and the big leader of the Anxi agent, since the relationship between Qixi and Chang'an has been determined, then she naturally needs to come over. This proud and stubborn Xinghu woman never disappoints him in her work, there are more and more Anxi spies, and she is the most worthy of the new appointment, Zhao Yang, Lu Zhe and others are also good, but they are still worse than Michelle.

After passing the Mohe Yan moraine, it is officially entering the moraine west boundary. Of course, Mohe Yanqi is now under the control of the Yiwu army, and it can be regarded as a part of the moraine, but it was not counted before. This place is Yizhou of the three states of Qixi, this time here, the army did not go to Tingzhou again, but went directly to the direction of Yanqi, this time the destination is Anxi, so naturally it will not go to Beiting.

Of course, the will was to be transmitted to all parts of the western part of the city, including Yizhou, Xizhou and Tingzhou. The generals of the Beiting garrison are all Ma Lan's private individuals, and they will naturally be happy when they see the holy decree. And Ma Lan's order will also reach Tingzhou, now that the northern expedition is over, Tingzhou is no longer the base of the army's expedition, so a large amount of ordnance and wealth should also be transported to Anxi through the Baishui Stream.

The caravan that had been following the army left some of them when they arrived. It was a caravan based in Tingzhou, and at this time they had to hurry back and then participate in the business of transporting supplies to Anxi, while the caravan based on the four towns of Anxi continued to follow the army, providing support and approaching their hometown.

When Ma Lan's army was rushing to Yanqi, Yang Youniang had already taken Kang Qingqing and his party to Tingzhou.

Yang Guozhong died of typhoid fever in Tingzhou, when Li Longji was still in captivity, at that time Ma Lu was still chasing and killing the Hui people in Mobei, and the two Gao Gu could not deal with it, so Yang Guozhong was hastily buried at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains outside Tingzhou City. Later, after Ma Lu returned, because he had already been buried in the ground, he did not pay special attention to this matter.

But after all, it is the tomb of the prime minister, and after Ma Lu returned to Tingzhou, the news that Yang Guozhong died of illness in Tingzhou also spread, which is also a great official, so the people of Tingzhou also know the location of Yang Guozhong's cemetery. Yang Guozhong had a reputation for killing An Lushan a few years ago, so although the tomb is not big, there are often Han people who come to the grave to pay respects, not for any special reason, but just a simple feeling. A prime minister who once killed thieves for the country is admired by someone after all.

Yang Youniang was full of filial piety, kneeling in front of Yang Guozhong's tomb, with tears on her little face.

Although she has rarely communicated with her father since she was a child, it is her father after all, and he is the person she can rely on.

She also knows her father's love for her. And now the man she can rely on has been sleeping here.

The winter sun falls on the body without the slightest warmth. Compared with the two large tombs behind the Double Holy Shrine not far away, the small tombs are even more lonely.

After all, it was a matter of the afterlife, and she didn't care about this, so she knelt on the cold ground like that, unwilling to get up for a long time.

Her aunt died, her father died, and her aunts who loved her were now terrified, and she had no one to rely on.

Even the master, who loved her the most, left.

But there is still one person after all.

The man who towered like a mountain, the man she gave everything for. Thinking of the javelin-like tall man, her heart warmed slightly.

It was Master's intention to choose that man, and at this time, she was very grateful for the choice Master had made for her.

What she needs is such a hero. Only such a man is qualified to be her husband.

Only a man like her husband can stand in front of her and shelter her from the wind and rain. No matter how proud she is, she only wants to be a gentle little woman in front of him.

In front of her father's grave, Yang Youniang knelt for a long time and slowly stood up.

"Girl......" A low voice sounded softly behind Yang Youniang.

Yang Youniang turned her head suddenly, and saw the figure in the forest behind her, with a surprised smile on her tear-stained face.
