~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Under the Golden Purple Mountain, Qiao's dock wall, hidden by green trees, surrounded by green water. There are hundreds of houses in the dock, flowers and trees, pavilions and pavilions, and so on, just like a small town.

At this moment, at the highest place in the northwest of the dock wall, on the main hall next to the ancestral hall of the Qiao family, Qiao Gong, the head of the Qiao family, was kneeling on the soft couch and chatting with the Confucian scholars of the first and third decades. But seeing that the tail in his hand was shaking gently, his long hair was hanging down his chest, his expression was peaceful, his sleeves were wide, and the copper tripod cigarette smoke was swirling next to the couch, so he looked like a high-ranking scholar.

And the Confucian scholar who was talking to Qiao Gong, well, if Ma Han saw it, he would definitely recognize that it was the target he was looking for on this trip - the imperial court, or the envoy sent by his Ma Han, Taizhong Doctor Liu Ye.

The guests and hosts talked and laughed with each other, and there were several scholars accompanying each other, talking and laughing, and talking very happily.

At this time, a servant bowed down and entered, kneeling down and reporting: "Master of the family, Steward Qiao has returned." ”

Qiao Gong sighed and asked casually, "Can you bring someone back?" ”

"Bringing back twenty-seven people, as the elders of Dongzhu Village said, are all strong."

"Well, take them to the lower house." Qiao Gong waved his tail lightly, but did not take it to heart, and continued to talk with Liu Ye and the others.

The servant didn't dare to look up, and said carefully: "On the way back, Steward Qiao and his party encountered a group of bandit patrols......

Qiao Gong was slightly stunned, and his demeanor began to become serious: "Is there any damage?" ”

"There was no damage, and the thief was defeated." The servant finally raised his head, his face could not hide his excitement, "According to Steward Qiao, kill twenty-seven thieves. Seven thieves were captured, including the personal guard of the thief chief Lei Bo. ”

At this time, Qiao Gong was finally moved: "What? Cow in! Is it the thief Niu Jin who attacked the east gate, killed me more than ten Wuding, and injured my son last time? ”

"Yes, that's him." The servant looked admiring, "According to Steward Qiao, this battle is all the work of the newly recruited sailor. ”

Liu Ye nodded and praised: "Defeat the thieves who are more than thirty percent more than your own, this group of sailors is good, you can help." ”

Qiao Gong flicked his tail: "Let Qiao Yi come in." ”

Leaning less, Qiao Yi couldn't hide the joy on his face. Appearing at the foot of the main hall, after getting Qiao Gong's permission, Fang bowed his head and walked in respectfully.

Qiao Yi entered the hall and was about to speak, but Qiao Gong shook his tail to show that he was not in a hurry, and then motioned to the attendant to pour a glass of wine from the case, and rewarded Qiao Yi to moisten his throat, Fang Xian said: "Qiao Yi." I will go through this trip and tell me in detail. ”

Qiao Yi thanked him, drank it all, and wiped the corners of his mouth. I just went through this trip one by one.

Qiao Gong, Liu Ye and several guests were originally calm, but when they heard that the other party only dispatched five people, it didn't take a moment. and slew the thieves, and took the remnant prisoner. The expressions of surprise on everyone's faces could not be concealed.

"You mean. That archer shot Niu Jin with one arrow? Qiao Gongwu couldn't believe it, this Niu Jin's fierceness, Qiao's Wubi villagers all knew, this person had made more than ten families in this dock raise white flags to cry, and he was a thief who stopped crying.

"Yes, only one arrow, and the first one." Qiao Yi stretched out a finger and emphasized again.

"With such a brave doorman, this Ma Long must also be strong, can you ask about his origin?" Compared with the amazing combat power of this group, Qiao Gong cared more about this.

Qiao Yi shook his head: "He didn't elaborate, but in the Huaishang family, there is no Ma clan." ”

"That's it, it's a pity, it's a pity." Qiao Gong looked disappointed.

Qiao Yi cautiously suggested: "These heroes are all heroes, according to what they see, they may be arranged to the upper house, and they don't know what to ......do."

Qiao Gong's gray eyebrows frowned slightly: "Shangshe is a place where scholars gather, even if it is a scholar from a poor family, it is also a scholar, how can it be with a mere hero?" So, let's get into the rounding. ”

Qiao Yi opened his mouth and fought hard: "That Ma Long even looks powerful, or Huaishang Haoqiang, who once held a high position in the army. Isn't it ......"

Qiao Gong was not impressed: "So what? Jiangdong Sun Bofu, the overlord of one side, Jiang Zuo is strong, and he is not in the eyes of the old man, is it possible that this person is stronger than Sun Lang? ”

Qiao Yi finally made a killer move: "Then Ma Long also said that he and Dr. Liu are good friends...... Qiao Yi hesitated, but still didn't dare to tell Ma Han that he hadn't agreed to help before, but he heard that Liu Ye was also there, so he changed his mind and told the truth, otherwise the head of the family would be greatly displeased and in vain.

Liu Ye's eyes widened in surprise, he knew a few sailors, and even some of his doormen were sailors. But when those people saw him, they were all respectful and courteous, and no one could be on an equal footing with him, let alone any friends. A royal family like him, who talks and laughs with great Confucianism, has no white contacts, and not just anyone can enter this circle. On weekdays, he would only think that the other party was climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, but after listening to the combat power of Fang Cai's group of sailors, coupled with the sensitive area of "Huaishang", Liu Ye had a feeling that this matter would not be simple.

Liu Ye immediately said: "You can invite them to come and visit." ”

After getting the acquiescence of the head of the family, Qiao Yi agreed and left. After a while, Qiao Yi came back with a bitter face, wiping his sweat and saying in fear: "That Ma Long's doorman is so rude, he wants to ...... actually asked Dr. Liu to go and meet. ”

Liu Ye hadn't expressed his position yet, and Qiao Gong was already furious: "Crazy! Rude! Daring! Enraged, he was speechless for a while.

Liu Ye hurriedly comforted: "Gong Qiao is angry, there are outstanding people in the world, and there are often crazy and contradictory behaviors, which is not surprising. Ye went to see it, and it didn't hurt. ”

The guests reprimanded this group of arrogant sailors on the one hand, and comforted Qiao Gong on the other, which finally calmed his anger and suppressed the idea of driving this group of sailors out of the dock.

Liu Ye bid farewell to Gong Qiao and followed Qiao Yi to the middle house.

Qiao's has a lot of customers, no less than a thousand, and there are many ranger high-rollers recently recruited. These people are all strong and weak according to the level of the door, and they live in the upper, middle and lower three houses. To use the standard analogy of later generations, the upper house is equivalent to a villa with a garden; The middle house is equivalent to a duplex building; The lower house is an ordinary bungalow.

Qiao Yi led Liu Ye to the two-story building where the group of sailors lived, but was stopped by a servant at the top of the stairs, saying that he would only invite Dr. Liu to go upstairs alone, and the rest stopped.

This time, Liu Ye's doorman is gone, what is the identity of their owner, how can he meet an unknown person alone.

On other occasions, Liu Ye has already brushed his sleeves away. But this time he was not angry, but signaled to the doorman to refrain from it. Liu Ye faintly felt that this guard was a little familiar, to be precise, it was that kind of momentum, as if it was ......

At this time, a person turned out of the staircase and bowed to Liu Ye: "Mr. Ziyang, please enter the room." ”

Liu Ye raised his head, and the other party also raised his head, and at this glance, Liu Ye blurted out: "Uncle Chen?!" It's you! ”

Chen Zhisu said: "Sir, please." ”

Liu Ye was shocked in his heart and no longer hesitated. Ordered the servants to stay, and not to trespass without hearing the call.

To tell the truth, Liu Ye was generous and calm in front of Qiao Gong, but he was somewhat unhappy in his heart, after all, his identity was there, and it was just a matter if the other party didn't come to visit, and he actually asked him to go, which was extremely rude. If it weren't for the fact that this group of people had good combat power and would help his plan. Coupled with a little doubt in his heart to be solved, he will not depreciate his identity.

After Liu Ye was full of plans to meet, he convinced the other party with his grace and made him bow down automatically. But when he entered the house, and when he saw the man, he knelt down first.

Ma Han laughed: "I was still thinking before, Ruozi Yang can't come." I'll have to ask Uncle Zhi to invite me. ”

"Great, great! What's going on? "Liu Ye is like a dream, the first person in the dynasty, the general Ma Han. It's horrific to be in front of me in this way.

Ma Han smiled: "The previous situation, as Qiao Yi said, is completely true, but I think he must not have said it, I promised to help, all because you Liu Ziyang is here." ”

Liu Ye was so moved that he couldn't speak for a while, only Chang Yi was stunned.

Ma Han invited Liu Ye into the table and asked about the envoy first.

Liu Ye had a happy smile on his face: "So that the general knows that Jiangxia Huangzu has agreed to unite with our army to attack the armies of Sun, Cao, and Liu." Ye has brought back the book of the alliance and put it in the ashram, so that someone can take it......"

Ma Han waved his hand: "Don't worry, just know the result." Hehe, Cheng Pu and Han Dang's blow is tantamount to a slap in the face, Huang Zu finally woke up, knowing that it is not too late to perish if he does not unite. ”

Liu Ye asked himself to be well-read, but he didn't understand what "drinking on the head" was, and it was inconvenient to ask, so he had to go back and check the book. Of course, it is impossible for him to find it even if he flips through the books, this is a Zen saying, and at this moment Zen Buddhism has not yet been born.

Jiangxia's matter has come to an end, and the following is the matter of Wancheng, Ma Han asked straight to the point: "Ziyang, do you want to repeat the killing of Zheng Bao back then?" ”

Liu Ye stroked his palm and smiled: "The general really knows me." ”

Ma Han shook his head and said: "Ziyang has made this move Meng Lang, everyone in Yangzhou knows about you killing Zheng Bao at the banquet, will you be fooled when you are Lei Bo?" ”

"Ye was eager to work before, but he really didn't think it through." Liu Ye apologized at first, and then was greatly excited, "But when the general comes, the situation is completely different." ”

Asu, who was on the side, couldn't help but remind: "The identity of the general must not be exposed." ”

Liu Ye bowed his head: "Ye is naturally saved, before the arrival of the army, the general can only be the high-roller Ma Long." ”

In danger, Ma Han's identity must not be revealed, otherwise don't say whether Lei Bo will go crazy, even if it is Qiao Gong, the owner of this dock wall, who dares to say that he will definitely not have any plans?

Ma Han shook his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous." Since we are here, we can't just sit here and wait for the army to arrive, we have to do something to hold back the thief army, at least not let the thief army get away from it. Yes, Ziyang stopped staying in Anhui at the beginning, so he must have made up his mind with a plan, right? ”

Liu Ye smiled: "Originally, there was none, but Lei Bo gave us a great opportunity." ”

Ma Han and Aso were all interested: "What opportunity?" ”

"Does the general know that Lei Bo is recently widowed?"

"I don't know." Ma Han smiled, "If you don't become a thief or soldier, whoever is his wife will be angry to death - but what chance is a dead wife?" ”

Liu Ye didn't understand the word "wife", but in connection with the context, the meaning was easy to guess, and he was no longer entangled at the moment, and continued: "Lei Bo heard that Qiao Gong's two daughters were both national colors, and he wanted to ask for them as a continuation, but he also knew that Qiao Gong would never agree, so he raised troops to Kou Wan, and then surrounded Qiao's dock wall and threatened ...... with force."

"I see." Ma Han slapped his thigh and understood.

What "Qiao Gong is anxious and righteous, summons heroes from all over the world, and defends Sangzi" Yunyun are all high-sounding and beautiful words. The real reason is that Lei Boqiang married and wanted to damage the reputation of Qiao Gong's high-ranking family for several generations. Thinking of the critical moment, Qiao Gong was afraid that he would rather kill his daughter than let her be captured by thieves and bring shame to the family.

Ma Han gossiped casually: "Qiao Gong's two daughters are both unmarried, which one does Lei Bo want to marry?" ”

"The eldest daughter of Gong Qiao, known as Da Qiao in Wancheng." (To be continued......)
