Although he was sealed as a marquis, he was not transferred internally, and he still stayed in Anxi, and Ma Ling was very satisfied with this result.

Chang'an is a quagmire, and you can't pull it out after you go in. In Anxi, he is a prince, and when he arrives in Chang'an, which is covered with Beijing, he is just a little marquis, where can he be so relaxed as here.

What's more, a few years later, it will be Yuyang Drum, if you can't do anything in Chang'an, you can only sigh in vain. Now that he is in Anxi, he has tens of thousands of soldiers in battle, and he can prepare calmly.

There are many soldiers in the two capitals, but they are all useless. In the original history, Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, and Ge Shuhan, who had successively led the troops in the Anshi Rebellion, were all famous generals in a hundred battles, but they could not resist An Lushan's Heshuo strong army. The Anxi soldiers are the best soldiers in the world, and they will become stronger and stronger in the future.

If you want to set foot in the river, the Central Plains must not be chaotic. The Central Plains was in chaos, Tubo occupied Guasha to cut off the road, and Anxi became an enclave, even if the situation was good, it could not be supported.

Li Linfu is going to die this year, and Yang Guozhong is about to take the throne. Now he has inexplicably become Yang Guozhong's son-in-law, although Yang Guozhong and himself are not happy, but this identity is barely an advantage at this time. didn't want to hug Yang Guozhong's thigh, but this thigh was sent to the door by himself, and he couldn't report it if he wanted to......

Just thinking about it, a Han family daughter next to him had a slight smile on her face, stretched out her little hand and gently held it between his legs, and her starry eyes were full of longing.

I sent it to the door, enjoy it, Ma Lan smiled and turned over, and pressed the defenseless little beauty under him.

On the bed, there was an unbearable sound. Several concubines opened their eyes and watched their men show their strength with a shy expression.

I climbed to the top several times, and after the last one was like a note, I suddenly felt refreshed. Ma Lan understands that this is the last absurdity. After sending away a few concubines, he left the Ma family Zhuangzi and came to the barracks.

Li Zhengde and Du Huan were extremely happy when they heard about their respective knighthoods. Although it's only a county, it's all sealed, which is already very good.

Although Duan Xiushi didn't say much, the loss in his eyes was still obvious. He and Li Siye saved thousands of Han family sons and daughters to retreat to Anxi, avoiding the end of the Anxi army's annihilation, which was also a great credit, but they got nothing, and even the credit could only be buried forever.

Ma Lan knew his unwillingness, but there was no way, who let his credit not be declared. There are Tang Dynasty courtiers who are extremely taboo to knight military generals, in addition to the founding of the country at the beginning of the country, it is to reward the so-called Zhongxing ministers after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion. During the Kaiyuan Tianbao period, there were many meritorious people, but there were not many people who were knighted. An Lushan was able to be named the king of the county, not because of merit, but because of the special favor of the Son of Heaven.

"Chenggong, the land of the four battles in Anxi, there is always a chance to make contributions. I am the main general, and I will not let Cheng Gong's merits be buried again. This time, we defeated the black-clothed thief, and the chapter has already been sent to Chang'an, maybe this time Chenggong will be able to get his wish. ”

was told by Ma Lan that Duan Xiushi was also a little embarrassed, nodded and did not speak.

Ma Lan knew that he was a person, and he was just as dedicated to being knighted or not, so he didn't say more.

The news of the trio's knighthood spread among the army, and the athletes cheered, and a feast was held in the barracks to celebrate the glory of the Lord.

This incident was also a big event in Anxi, and soon the entire city of Qiuzi knew about it. Ma Lu was knighted, which was well deserved, and with his current popularity in Anxi, everyone was naturally happy to be able to become a county marquis.

Everything is settled, and the generals of Anxi have no other thoughts. By the time Ma Lan returned to Zhuangzi again, Li Siye and other Anxi generals had already arrived, and they came to congratulate Ma Lan on his promotion to the knighthood one by one with generous gifts.

This is a happy event, and it is naturally a drunken party. Find a place in the grange farthest from the workshop to set up a banquet, Ma Lu and the veterans also drank happily.

Gao Qianqian still greeted everyone as the hostess, and the look on her little face was extremely indifferent. The veterans all knew the content of the holy decree, knew that Ma Ling was married by the Son of Heaven, and they all felt a little strange when they saw Gao Qianqian's appearance, but after all, no one dared to say it.

After a full meal and wine, the generals left with the return gift carefully prepared by Gao Qianqian. Gao Qianqian went to the workshop to be busy, but Ma Lan was stopped by the seventh uncle.

"Young master, Qianqian, this girl is not bad, but now that you have been married by the saint, I am afraid that it is not suitable for her to be in our family. She is the daughter of a tall general, and she definitely will not be a concubine. If it is still in our house, the rumors and rumors will not be good for our Ma family. ”

Looking at the old man with a sad face, Ma Ling smiled: "Uncle Qi, are you asking me to drive Qianqian away?" ”

Uncle Qi sighed and said: "I really like this girl Qianqian, I was going to go to Chang'an to propose marriage after the matter of your knighthood, young master, but now there is such a thing." Young master, it's hard to disobey the holy order. I haven't been back to Chang'an for so many years, but I also heard in Anxi that the Yang family is now powerful, this is a marriage given by the saint, and the woman is the Yang family, what can our family do. Qianqian, this girl is still in our family, and I am afraid it will not be good for our family or the tall general's family. ”

"Uncle Qi, what if I say that I won't marry if I'm not Qianqian?" Ma Lan smiled.

Uncle Qi exclaimed: "What are these words! The Son of Heaven said that he would dare to disobey! said that this time it is a marriage to the Yang family's daughter, even if you let you Princess Shang, you have to admit it! Young master, the Fufeng Ma clan is all pointing at you to glorify your ancestors, I know you feel sorry for Qianqian, but you can't play with it! ”

"Uncle Qi, there is no need to talk about this matter. I will only marry Gao Qianqian, and it is impossible to marry the Yang girl I have never met. Qianqian is my wife who has never been through the door, and she will still be in charge of the affairs of the family in the future. As for the rest of the things, I'll take care of them, so don't worry about it, old man. ”

The seventh uncle hurriedly said: "Young master, how can this work!" Are you trying to resist the decree? This is not possible! ”

Seeing that the old man was really anxious, Ma Lan smiled and said: "I naturally won't do such a stupid thing as resisting the decree." Uncle Qi, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly, your old man will take care of his old age, the next generation of the Ma family, me and Qianqian's heirs, your old man will definitely be able to see it. ”

"Alas! Alas! Here's what to say! Master, don't mess around. Seeing Ma Lan's determined expression, the seventh uncle couldn't help but sigh again and again.

Ma Lan smiled and said no more. He already had a plan in his heart, but he couldn't let the old man know about such an evil thing as murdering a little girl.

He came from the afterlife, and he had no reverence for royal nature. The reason for not resisting is because it cannot confront the royal family. But how can he be willingly at the mercy of others?

……

Li Zhuang did not stay in Anxi, and after staying for three days, he had to return to Beijing. Bian Lingcheng was also with him, and the Persian prince Mu Kun was also going to Chang'an.

Now Mu Kun doesn't speak all day, just like a lone wolf, his eyes are fierce and vicious. This kind of beast-like gaze, even Ma Lan doesn't want to look at it more.

Gao Qianqian and Ma Lu sent away the two angels together, and Gao Qianqian also specially prepared a rich Cheng Yi for the two. Now even Li Zhuang heard about the matter between Gao Qianqian and Ma Lan, and sighed secretly in his heart when he looked at this little girl who was smiling like a flower. Bian Lingcheng was more serious, his expression was flat and he couldn't see any emotion.

After sending off the two lieutenants, another ten days later, the Chengxintang paper produced by the Kangjia Paper Mill in the workshop of Qiuzi City also reached a certain amount. Gao Qianqian attached great importance to this business, and personally selected the manpower of the caravan, and more than a hundred camels loaded with full goods were ready to set off for Chang'an.

Following the caravan, there were more than 30 concubines of Ma Lu, and more than a dozen little saints of Zoroastrianism led by Kang Qingqing. This time, they were going to be sent to Ma Luan's Hou Mansion in Chang'an, and they would not return to Anxi in the future.

Now Ma Luan's concubine in Anxi is only Ge Qiu'er. The Turkic girl took care of the Ma family's pasture in the valley of the Tianshan Mountains, and naturally she couldn't leave.

The guards of the caravan are the most sophisticated, the road to Chang'an is facing each other along the road, the road is extremely quiet, there are customs clearance documents issued by the Dadu Protectorate, there will be nothing at all, so the number of guards is not much, only a few dozen.

Of course, this is not counting Kang Qingqing and them, these Sogdian girls are all thorny roses, unless they face a large army, they are extremely difficult to provoke.

The leader of the caravan was Du Huan, the son of the family, a newly promoted son of Lantian County. Du Huan was knighted for his military merits, and according to his will, he still needs to stay in Anxi to serve, but the so-called wealth does not return to his hometown, and the family is impatient to go back and boast of his merits, and at the same time take a look at his fiefdom. He was going to Chang'an, and Ma Lu explained the matter to him. He is a close confidant of Ma Lu, and doing this little thing is nothing.

The caravan was about to leave, Ma Lan was still a little uneasy in his heart, and walked to Kang Qingqing's side and whispered a few words.

Kang Qingqing giggled, and a lovely crimson color appeared on her little face, which made the other concubines all look at Ma Lu, and their eyes were extremely resentful.

Ma Lan couldn't help but be speechless, his heart was just to confess to you for killing, not to tell love, who did you put on such a show to. But this girl can even pretend to be shy so realistically, and he is a little more sure of her actions this time.

"General, I'll go and come back as soon as possible." The son of the family rode on the back of a camel and said loudly.

"Well, go ahead. Be careful on the road. Ma Lan waved his hand.

Du Huan responded with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, more than 100 camels stood up at the same time and walked along the avenue in the direction of Jiaohe County.

The canopy of heaven was lowered, and the caravan gradually drifted away, until it was gone.

Ma Ling retracted his gaze and walked over to hold Gao Qianqian's little hand.

Gao Qianqian wrinkled her little nose and said coquettishly: "Brother Ma Lan, I have good news for you." ”

"What's the good news?" Ma Lan asked with a smile.

"The kind of thing you want, I've made it in the Grange." Gao Qianqian said happily.
