Ma Han refused the retention of the Xuzhou officials led by Tao Qian, including Liu Bei and others, and left Yancheng and went to Qu County. If he stays any longer, he will have to attend Tao Qian's funeral, and how long will it have to be delayed. And he has been away from Liaoxi for too long, and he must rush back as much as possible.
The Dow brothers, of course, could not have left at this time. In fact, Tao Qian only faintly mentioned this matter to his eldest son, but did not discuss it in detail, mainly for fear that the two sons would show their mouths. Tao Qian planned to confide the truth when he was about to die, and according to the etiquette system, the Tao brothers would help the coffin to return to Zizi and go to Danyang to mourn. After the waiting period was removed, he sailed out from Danyang, went north to Liaoxi, and took refuge in White Wolf City.
Tao Qian is also quite reluctant for the continuation of the bloodline and for the sake of having people worship every year.
Mi Zhu is a don't drive in Xuzhou, and he really can't be separated at this time, so he can only let Mi Fang send him in person. Accompanying him, there was also a Mifu car, in which sat Mi's younger sister Mi Zhen. Mi Zhen was tired of socializing with various officials and relatives in Yancheng, and just wanted to go back to the former residence of Qu County to recuperate quietly for a while.
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were anxious about the imminent reshuffle of Xuzhou officialdom, and they didn't care about this girl, so they went with her.
From Yancheng to Qu County, about 200 miles, the road is mountainous, the terrain is uneven, and there are no counties and townships. But. As the leading wealthy businessmen in the East China Sea and even Xuzhou, the Mi brothers certainly can't wronged themselves. Moreover, keeping the roads between Quxian and Yancheng smooth and convenient for travel also helped them to control the city. Therefore, on the road of more than 200 miles, every fifty miles, the Mi brothers built a post station of considerable specifications to receive food and lodging, which is indeed much more convenient.
At dusk, the horse warrior and the twenty white wolf warriors, the father of Lejin and his family. Under the guidance of Mi Fang, stay at the post station.
The second son of the Mi family and the little lady moved in, and the director of the post station was naturally careful, mobilized the most manpower, and received it according to the highest specifications. This post station is divided into two areas, the front area is only for general reception, mainly for some post delivery, ordinary children in the clan for study tours, business reception. The specifications of the rear area are not ordinary, the courtyard is vast, and the environment is elegant. The meals are fine, the rooms are elegant, and only those with higher status in the clan or officials above the thousand stones in Xuzhou can enjoy this kind of treatment.
Dinner is naturally shared by Ma Han and Mi Fang. During the banquet, Ma Han also invited Le Father to toast him. As a school captain, Mi Fang didn't pay much attention to a fake Sima father, but Ma Han's attitude was so respectful. He was not easy to hold up, and he also toasted a glass.
Father Le is just an old farmer, and the biggest official he has ever seen in his life is only a county official. Now that he has to toast a lieutenant and a lieutenant, his hand shaking to take the glass. After drinking all the tears, Le Father sighed: "Du Wei is so important, my son can follow Du Wei around, and it is his blessing to be able to hold the whip and fall into the stirrup!" ”
After Father Le stepped down, Mi Fang gave Ma Han a thumbs up: "The dragon is related, Zhang Zhiyong, and Liu Zhijun's deep planning, and he is so young and brave, and his future is limitless." To tell the truth, if Jinglong is willing to visit Xuzhou, my brother will definitely support it, then the Chen father and son must be the same, and Cao Bao and Cao Hong brothers dare not object. At that time, the dragon and Liu Zhijun will unite, this world of Xuzhou, hehe......"
Listening to Mi Fang's first half of the sentence, Ma Han thought that this guy wanted to support him to take Xuzhou, but when he heard the back, he was a lobbyist for Liu Bei. Hehe, join forces with Liu Bei...... I don't know when I was swallowed by the belt.
Mi Fang's attitude towards herself changed, and she was just amazed by her courage, but there were more brave warriors in the Three Kingdoms era, and how many of them could get the favor of the powerful and celebrities? Only by adding a bracket after the bladder and marking the background of the famous family, this can really be recognized by the famous and powerful.
Dragons can only play with dragons forever; Feng will always only play with Feng; And the rats can only amuse themselves in the rat nest, and if they want to blend in, there is no door!
Ma Han snorted: "Zifang is too famous, my Ma Han is just a military general, it is enough to guard the border on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and dare to set foot in Xuzhou, a rich state and county?" Liu Yuanjun, a royal nobleman; Guan and Zhang, the fierce generals of 10,000 enemies, dare not compare with them in the next million. ”
Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Ma Han drank all the wine in the bottle and said goodbye.
……
It is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the full moon is like a plate. I don't know if it was the tidal effect of the full moon night, or the words of Mi Fang, which made Ma Han's heart uneasy, and he paced the sparse forest path in the backyard with his hands in mind, pondering silently. At this moment, he inexplicably thought of Gongsun Du of Liaodong. This Taishou, who was from a humble background, once held great power, slaughtered all the powerful and powerful clans in the county, and even dug graves, acting so fiercely, did he ever suffer such intentional or unintentional humiliation like himself?
As a modern person, Ma Han is far less sensitive to his background than people of this era. But even so, the kind of disdain, which is not usually felt, but inadvertently revealed in words, is inevitably depressing. Even a person like Ma Han who doesn't care much is so depressed, you can imagine Gongsun Du's mood.
In the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, due to conflicts of interest, the princes of all parties raised butcher's knives against the local tyrants under their rule. Cao Cao has killed, Liu Biao has killed, Sun Ce has killed, and Gongsun Zan has killed, but none of them have killed as ruthlessly as Gongsun Du, basically uprooting the local scholars in Liaodong. It is conceivable that he hates Cheng dù.
If you ask Ma Han, Liaodong and Xuzhou, choose one, Ma Han will not hesitate to choose Liaodong. This place has been shoveled into a pure land by Gongsun Du - the most suitable pure land for the rise of grassroots.
Green weeds, growing in the garden, no one will take a second look; Growing in the barren and bare wilderness is the brightest green.
If a person wants to rise up, he must find his position; For a power to rise, it must also find the right place. Don't ask for the best, just seek the right, the right is the best.
Thinking like this, Ma Han's mood finally calmed down. It seems that after going back, it is necessary to send someone to Handan. Whether he is disdainful or disdainful, the rules of this era are played like this, and in it, he must follow the rules of the game. Maybe one day, he will become the maker of the game, and at that time, it will not be too late for him to play this era slowly.
After his mind stabilized, his spiritual consciousness was restored, and Ma Han suddenly felt more than ten steps away. Behind the moon cave door, it seems that someone is peeping.
The man also seemed to feel Ma Hao's gaze turning, and quickly retracted his head. After a while, there was no movement, and then he slowly poked his head out again—suddenly, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he wanted to scream......
In front of her, a face was close at hand. The breath can be heard, the moonlight is half-light and half-dark, and the silhouette is deep. This face is not ugly, on the contrary, it is quite handsome. But I can't stand it, and suddenly I appear in front of me!
"Ahh As soon as the scream came out, it was covered by a large thick hand back into his mouth.
Ma Han wanted to use this hand to crush the voyeur's throat, but after he got closer, he was surprised to find out. This is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with a sweet and innocent appearance. That's why he changed his blow to cover and blocked the other party's screams. Otherwise, it will alarm the entire post station, and this image will be greatly damaged.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Ma Han waited for the girl's love to be almost stable, and then let go of his hand and asked in a low voice.
The girl patted her chest gently, obviously still a little frightened, Bei Yan bit her red lips lightly, a pair of big eyes as black as the night turned, and her voice was sweet and crisp, just like her person: "The slave is the little lady of the Mi family......"
Ma Han was surprised: "Ah......"
“…… 's personal maid, the slave name is called the sachet. ”
Ma Han couldn't help but smile, this little girl actually knew how to shake the burden, and said casually: "Your name is sachet, do you have a sachet on your body?" ”
"Yes!" Sachet really took a sachet from his belt and held it on Bai Shengsheng's palm.
Ma Han naturally followed, took it in his hand and looked at it, through the bright moonlight, it could be seen that it was a pink sachet, which may contain incense, musk and various unknown spices, and it was refreshing to smell it lightly.
Ma Han raised his eyes, but saw that the sachet was looking at him blankly, his mouth opened slightly, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?" ”
What's wrong? You're still asking me what's wrong! How can anyone arbitrarily take a woman's sachet? The sachet had hot cheeks, but he couldn't speak, so he hurriedly diverted the topic; "The slave knows you, you are the 'Ten Thousand Family Buddha' who saved Xuzhou twice and saved countless living beings."
Ma Han smiled slightly: "That's why you followed me?" ”
"Ah...... It's not ......" Sachet looked flustered and shook his hand hurriedly, "The slave is here to find the little lady, but I didn't expect to meet Ma Jun ......"
"Have you served the little lady of the Mi family for a long time?"
"Well, it's been years."
"You're also from the Tokai clan?"
"Yes, the slave is from Qu County."
"Oh, the woman of the seaside, the water must be very good, right?"
Sachet blushed and muttered, "Slaves don't know water, brother...... Ah Weng, don't let women play in the water. However, slaves often go to the beach to watch the waves and listen to the waves. Ah, yes, it is said that Ma Jun used to be the tribal leader of the Mobei grassland, and the legend says that the grassland is a green sea, is that true? ”
Ma Han nodded: "The grassland and the sea are equally vast and magnificent. Watching the sea can express your mind, the grassland can expand your mind, the south has a hundred miles of green willows, and the north has thousands of miles of ice. The south and the north of the world, each with its own magnificence. ”
The sachet folded his hands in front of his chest, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a yearning look: "Ah, listening to Ma Jun's words, I really want to go to the north to see the beautiful scenery of the ice and snow and the green waves......"
chatting with this sweet and lovely little girl for a while, Ma Han's originally depressed mood dissipated without a trace. It seems that chatting with beautiful women is really the best way to relieve your feelings.
When they were chatting, they saw a lantern floating near in the distance, and a little girl who looked like a maid hurriedly ran over: "Little lady! The second son is looking for you everywhere......"
"Stop!" The sachet hurriedly interrupted the maid's words, looked evasive, bowed lightly to the horseman, and turned away. The delicate back is somewhat flustered.
What the? Little lady? Ma was stunned. Hey, the sachet is still in his hand, and just as he wanted to call, the shadow had already disappeared between the horizontal and sparse shadows. My heart suddenly moved, I flipped the sachet, and there was a delicate word "Zhen" embroidered on the other side...... (To be continued......)
