This girl is one of the two sisters of the Zhen family's young daughter rescued by Ma Han on the bank of the Hutuo River that day, that is, the "fourth sister" who doesn't speak much, but always bites her sister's ears.

Although Zhen Yan was secretly annoyed by his sister's reckless behavior, he was already standing in front of him, and if he didn't introduce it, he would be even more rude, so he had to say to Ma Han: "This is the fourth sister of Yan, famous, not in time, and without words." ”

The girl's beautiful face turned red, she glanced at her brother, saluted Ma Hanfu, slowly retreated, and hid among the flowers and trees. After disappearing from everyone's sight, he lifted his skirt and ran away in a panic. Zhen Rong blushed and ran away because of his brother's sentence "no words".

In the Han Dynasty, women were fifteen and Ji, and they were allowed by their father (or by the eldest brother if they had no father) to go out of the cabinet, and the so-called "boudoir" came from this.

Zhen Yan's eyes seemed to be looking at the direction of the fourth sister's escape, but in fact, he glanced at Ma Han intentionally or unintentionally, but what he saw was that the young man bowed back to the fourth sister, and after a faint glance, he immediately withdrew his gaze and did not see any different color.

Zhen Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of color, he has always been very proud of the appearance of his younger sisters, and there are many children of the Haoqiang family in Jizhou. The three younger sisters who have not yet left the cabinet, including the youngest sister, have countless requests to come to the door. The young lieutenant of the outer county did not pretend. It's not easy.

Isn't Ma Hao? Of course not, it's just that he's seen a lot. Not to mention the visual bombardment of many beauties in later generations, even if it is there in White Wolf City. There is also a divorce, which can be called stunning. Although the daughters of the Zhen family are beautiful, they are still inferior, how can they pretend to be like a pig brother? Well, maybe Zhen's youngest younger sister will be comparable when she grows up.

In the rich and elegant main hall of the Zhen Mansion, Ma Han met the contemporary head of the Zhen family. Zhen Yu Zhen Boya.

This is a middle-aged man about thirty years old, with a handsome face and an elegant air between his eyebrows - according to the average life expectancy of the Han Dynasty. Thirty years can indeed be regarded as middle-aged.

The guests and hosts greeted each other and sat down.

Knowing Ma Han's identity, Zhen Yuqiang was shocked in his heart. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Ma Han. Thanks to him for his help, killing the thief and saving his sister, and even more thanks for his visit. After a polite remark, he praised the elite of the wolf's tooth flying horseman, and introduced the topic to the meaning of Ma Han's trip without a trace.

"Previously, the Zhen clan had gone to Liaodong to do business, and when they exchanged markets with Zhuhu, they heard rumors about the deeds of Duwei, and their prestige shocked Liaoxi. It is known that the White Wolf City must be a strong soldier in the world, as seen on the banks of the Hutuo River. Sure enough, it's true. With such a strong and powerful hundred horsemen, the world can go to it, and it is no wonder that you can travel thousands of miles from Liaoxi to Zhongshan...... Hehe! ”

As soon as he heard it, he knew that Zhen Yu was going around in a big circle, just to figure out the purpose of leading more than 100 cavalry elite soldiers to ambush and sneak here. If he doesn't make it clear, it is estimated that the next conversation will have no nutrition at all, and he will not have time to fix this boring thing.

In fact, Ma Han didn't intend to hide it, because he was now planning to help Yuan Shao, and Zhen was undoubtedly on Yuan's side. Even if Ma Han didn't know what the relationship between Zhen and Yuan would be in the future, he must be sure and sure that between the Yuan army and the Montenegrin army, the Zhen family would 100% stand on the side of the Yuan family, which was an inevitable attribute of its class and would not change due to any external force. Since everyone is in the same camp, what else is there to say.

"A certain general wants to help Yuan Gong, invite Montenegro, and sneak into the Nine Gates, is it okay?"

Can? It's just amazing! The Zhen brothers were pleasantly surprised, knowing that the Nine Gates were only more than thirty miles away, and when they climbed the heights, they could even see the smoke and dust rolled up from the far away by Hu Qiyousen. If it weren't for the fact that there was a water trail and the big war was imminent, the Montenegrin army would not want to make extraneous branches, and Wuji City would have been besieged by Hu Qi long ago. Because of this, there was a shock inside and outside the city, for fear that Yuan Jun would fail. There is no doubt that once the Yuan army and the Montenegrin army lose in the joint battle, the Jiumen Hu cavalry will definitely cross the water to attack the city and plunder the Quartet. The Zhen clan's property is not only in the county seat, but also outside the city, there are large fields, manors, barns, and corrals, even if they are protected by dock forts, I am afraid that they will also suffer heavy losses.

The Zhen family has nearly 1,000 private soldiers, excellent armor, and hundreds of good horses, and the strength of the Zongbing is still above the soldiers of Wuji City. But it is such a strong force, but it will never dare to provoke Montenegro, and Montenegro's 100,000 revenge is not a joke. But if there is an outside force that is willing to stand up for them, it would be great.

The Zhen brothers were overjoyed, and the words were like a tide: "Du Wei's move shows that he is heroic, no wonder the good name spreads to Liaodong, and all the nonsense is far away." Youzhou Gongsun Xiang is jealous of all Hu, and now the captain has replaced him, young and heroic, fine riding vertically and horizontally, and will become a great cause in the future......"

……

"Young and heroic, elite riding vertically and horizontally, it will be a great cause in the future! Is that really what my brother said? ”

In a two-storey pavilion not far from the main hall, the three sisters of the Zhen family, who had not yet left the pavilion, were sitting next to each other, listening to the words that the maidservant had heard and repeated.

"yes, the most." The maid nodded as if pecking rice.

Zhen Qin (real name Dao, because of the word Qin) is the "third sister" who talked with Ma Han on the bank of the Hutuo River that day, tilted his head, recalled carefully, and muttered: "Young and heroic, it's true; Riding vertically and horizontally, it is true; Will it be a great thing in the future...... Liaodong Cavalry Captain, White Wolf City Guard...... What is White Wolf City? Who in the clan has been? ”

The fourth sister Zhen Rong thought about it and shook her head: "The eleventh brother in the second room has only been to Liaodong, not to Liaoxi, let alone White Wolf City, but I heard that there are a lot of miscellaneous Hu there, and it is very chaotic. ”

The youngest sister Zhen Luo blinked her big watery eyes, and said with a smile: "Didn't the eleventh brother say, last year, this Ma Duwei fought a battle in Liaoxi, drove away a Karasuma King, and captured a few cities. ”

Zhen Qin sighed: "Then he must not be afraid of those Hu people in the Nine Gates...... and then sighed again, "It's a pity that he only has twenty horsemen, too few ......"

The news that Ma Han led three hundred horsemen to come was only known to a few brothers in charge of the Zhen family. If the spread is well known, is it really the Montenegrin Army that is not doing anything in detail?

Zhen Rong seemed to remember something, and his eyes were bent into crescents. Cover your mouth and smile: "Third sister, this time the eleventh brother also told you about a marriage, you are still not happy, saying that Liaodong is despicable, and it is difficult to have a handsome man." Look, isn't this Ma Jinglong just a young man? He was dressed in a dark coat and had a measured demeanor. It's no worse than those turbid sons. I think the second son of the Gongsun family in Liaodong may be really good. ”

Zhen Qin bit his red lip: "If that second son of the Gongsun family." I'm very happy to have this man half heroic......"

"Then it's better to let the eldest brother change your promise to this Ma Jinglong! Anyway, it's not settled yet. Zhen Rong ate and smiled, his eyes flashing.

Zhen Qin sighed faintly: "I heard what Brother Zhong said, what the clan elders mean." It seems to be agreed...... Alas! It's a thousand miles to Liaodong. I still have to float on the sea, how can they bear to send me so far away......"

Zhen Rong and Zhen Luo both showed sad faces, Zhen Luo lightly held the third sister's jade arm, and said in a low voice: "Little sister listened to my mother, Fang is in turmoil today, wars are frequent, and there are dangers everywhere. Far away is the danger of the Hutuo River that day, and there is the disaster of the Nine Gates of Hu Riding near. There are Hu horses raging at our doorstep, and we are worried all day long. And Liaodong is located on the promontory. Chengping for many years, there is almost no worry about war, although my sister is married far away, she can keep her life safe. What my mother hopes for most is that our sisters are safe......"

When Zhen Luo said this, tears rippled, and the three sisters hugged their heads and cried, because they remembered the fate of their eldest sister again.

Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, married the Qingzhou clan as her wife, but when hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans rebelled in Qingzhou last year, she was humiliated and killed by the yellow turban thieves who broke through the dock fort, which was extremely miserable. This incident deeply stimulated the Zhen family and made them better understand the truth of hugging their thighs in troubled times. For Zhang, the mother of the five sisters, the idea is the simplest, as long as her daughter is safe, no matter where she marries. And when it comes to Taiping, there are only a few corners and corners of Fang's today, such as Jingzhou, Yizhou, Hanzhong, and Liaodong...... History proves that the only one who is truly peaceful is Liaodong.

Zhang may not know the general trend of the world, let alone the trend of history, but she uses a mother's intuition to send her daughter to a place of real peace.

The Zhen sisters are also happy and sad, and the discussion in the main hall has entered the main topic.

The Zhen brothers agreed to temporarily close the ferry pier to the garrison of Ma Hun and keep it strictly confidential. At the same time, provide a degree of application for 300 horsemen and other horsemen during this period, and after the matter is completed, there will be another reward. And Ma Han promised that if Hu soldiers could not attack, they would help him; At the same time, Ma Han helped the Yuan clan to attack the Nine Gates of Hu, and he must not involve the Zhen family, that is, this is his personal behavior and cannot involve the Zhen family.

In addition to the current cooperation, the two parties have also entered into a long-term cooperation. Ma Han proposed to establish a business in Liaodong to collect the materials of various tribes and have them purchased by the Zhen clan, which would be beneficial to both sides. For the Zhen family, there is no need to go deep into the Zhuhu tribe, and beware of the Hu people all day long when they see their intentions to get rich, turn their faces at any time, and the loans will be empty. There are also horse thieves and robbers in Liaodi, which are even more of a big disaster for business travelers. For Ma Han, this is equivalent to opening a trade route, with his prestige among the Hu people, as long as he has a mouth, no tribe dares to come to worship without fart, and collect these goods, which is definitely good and cheap.

The future Mahan knows best that in an age without faith, a strong and authoritative leader determines the cohesion of an army; And the economic base determines the combat effectiveness of an army. If there is cohesion and combat effectiveness, it is a strong soldier. White Wolf City must have its own financial resources and its own way of raising troops, and it must not let Liaodong get stuck in its neck.

Two hours later, Ma Han and Xia Houlan, with a satisfactory harvest, said goodbye with a smile and left the house.

Zhen Yan sent the gift out of the house on behalf of the brother, and after sending the two away, he looked at the two of them walking away, and when he turned around, he saw his younger sister Zhen Luo standing on the corridor not far away, biting her lip and looking hesitant.

Zhen Yan approached and said, "Do you want to thank him personally?" ”

Zhen Luo nodded, wanting to speak.

Zhen Yan smiled lightly: "There will definitely be a chance in the future." Put an object in Zhen Luo's hand, gently stroked the little sister's hair, and turned away.

Zhen Luo opened his crystal clear, white and red jade palm, but saw a piece of jade pendant engraved with the word "Zhen" shining brightly - it was the token he gave to the young captain.
