Chapter 112: Secret Competition

Ma Furong was not convinced, she felt that Tang Haitang was losing to herself regardless of her appearance or temperament.

Tang Haitang didn't like it in her heart, she felt that Ma Furong just had a beautiful skin, but her heart was boring.

But neither of them showed their true thoughts in their hearts, and they still maintained their due politeness to each other, with a polite smirk on their faces, and greeted each other warmly, and then sat down humbly with each other.

On the stone table in the pavilion, there were melon and fruit cakes and tea, and after the two of them were seated, Qing'er diligently poured the tea for Tang Haitang.

Ma Furong was the first to speak: "Sister Tang, my brother has already instructed me, saying that the marriage between the two of you will be done in Youzhou, tomorrow I plan to accompany you, let's go to the largest gold shop in the city, first play a set of jewelry, this wedding dress or something, we can go to the tailor shop in the city again, find the best embroidery girl to make it in a hurry, what else do you need, we also have to make a list as soon as possible, hurry up and prepare, time is tight, don't delay the day you and my brother set." ”

As soon as Ma Furong sat down, she went straight to the theme of marriage, which was all expected by Tang Haitang, she guessed that the Ma family brothers and sisters must be ventilating with each other, otherwise as soon as Ma Furong arrived in Youzhou, why did Qian Kun come over and bring back the news that Ma Xiaotian was going to get married and have a happy event? It must be that the brothers and sisters of the Ma family have been communicating with each other for a long time, and the brothers and sisters have discussed it, so Ma Furong is not afraid of the long distance, and hurriedly rushed to Youzhou with so many people from Chang'an, just to handle their marriage.

However, hearing her say that she was going to the store in the city to buy wedding items tomorrow, Tang Haitang suddenly thought about it, she smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'm also worried about these jewelry and wedding clothes, but I didn't expect my sister to think of it for me earlier, so it's decided, and the two of us will do it together tomorrow." ”

Ma Furong saw that Tang Haitang agreed to her proposal so happily, it seemed that she was looking forward to getting married, but she saw it in her eyes, but she secretly rubbed the fire with great hatred in her heart, this woman is so anxious to marry my brother? Hum! Don't look at what kind of goods you are, you are also worthy!

But she just muttered in her heart, and on the surface, she still said happily to Tang Haitang: "Then it's decided, I'll let Ma Huo make an appointment with these two stores in a while, and I'll let Ma Huo prepare a car for us early tomorrow morning." ”

"Sister Tang, my matter is over, then let's not sit here, it's not early, it's time to prepare dinner, I'll go to the kitchen to see how they are prepared, and we'll have dinner in the flower hall in a while."

After speaking, Ma Furong got up, not planning to continue chatting, and made an excuse to say goodbye to Tang Haitang.

Tang Haitang didn't have the heart to chat with her, seeing that she was about to leave after informing her of tomorrow's affairs, she also wanted to leave quickly, both of them had their own concerns, but they smiled and politely said goodbye to each other.

The flower hall in Mafu has a very rich and lively dinner.

The arrival of Ma Furong has made the night of Ma Fu lively, and even the big table in the flower hall is full today, as the host Ma Furong specially arranged a rich family banquet, banqueting the Qian family father and daughter and Tang Haitang, in addition to Xiaocui, there is also an outsider, that is Wang Yuancheng.

It is said that it is inconvenient to invite Wang Yuancheng to have a female dependent, but when Ma Furong introduced him, she specially explained that Wang Yuancheng was the one who worked hard to escort her all the way from Chang'an this time, and it was very hard to escort her along the way, so he specially stayed today and invited him to have dinner with everyone, which is a thank you.

After listening to this reason, everyone will not have doubts, Ma Furong must rely on him in order to thank Wang Yuancheng and leave Wang Yuancheng to live in the mansion, and he will need his escort when he goes back to Chang'an. Therefore, Wang Yuancheng's attendance was not so abrupt.

During the banquet, everyone didn't drink much, mainly the female dependents were present, and Qian Kun and Wang Yuancheng didn't just politely drink a few drinks with each other. After everyone quickly finished eating, they dispersed the banquet and went back to their rooms to rest.

In Ma Xiaotian's barracks, before it was almost dark, Zhuo Songbai rushed back, and as soon as he arrived at the camp, he went straight to the general's camp. Qian Kun was not here today, and the heads of the battalions also returned to their respective camps at this time, and Ma Xiaotian was the only one left in the big tent, sitting at the table, writing things seriously.

Zhuo Songbai reported his intention outside the tent, and the guards entered the tent to report, and soon the news came out and let Zhuo Songbai in.

Zhuo Songbai entered the big tent, Ma Xiaotian had already put down the brush in his hand and sat at the table waiting for him.

"How? Did you find anything more? Without waiting for Zhuo Songbai to speak, Ma Xiaotian asked him first.

"General Hui, all the secret posts have been arranged, and we have basically figured out the number of the other party, but their leader has always been a mystery, no one has ever seen the face of a real person, we don't dare to follow too closely, just guard on the periphery, and no one has ever seen that person's face."

Speaking of the true face of this leader, Zhuo Songbai also scratched his head, and the most important information was not grasped, either to show that he was incompetent, or to prove that the opponent was too cunning. Either way, he felt a little unconvinced.

"It doesn't matter, keep an eye on these people, cast the net out, it's been these two days, the other party must have a move, you must be watchful." Ma Xiaotian didn't mean to blame Zhuo Songbai, now the other party thought that he was in the dark, and it just so happened that they could take advantage of the other party's negligence, so at this time, he couldn't take it lightly and exposed his actions.

"Yes! Subordinates understand! I'll be watching it myself. Zhuo Songbai understood what Ma Xiaotian meant and knew the pros and cons of this matter.

"Well, you go and rest first, it's been hard for you in the past two days." got the answer he wanted, Ma Xiaotian didn't leave Zhuo Songbai much, let him go back to rest, in the remaining few days, it is estimated that he will not have any comfortable time, if the enemy is not eliminated for a moment, they will not be able to relax for a moment.

Zhuo Songbai also thought so, he had no intention of resting at the moment, the other party only didn't know their stalking for the time being, they really couldn't be negligent at all, he had to keep an eye on it himself, and there could be no negligence.

After saying goodbye to Ma Xiaotian, Zhuo Songbai left the big tent and returned to his tent, changed into a night suit, did not stop too much, went out and got on the horse and went in the direction of Youzhou City. Along the way, the moon overhead was already angry, and the moonlight and starlight were in the sky, glowing with a faint white light, so that the mountain road at night would not be so dark.

Zhuo Songbai rode all the way in the night, in the night it seemed very abrupt, in order not to attract the attention of the other party's spies, he quietly rode into the woods, in the forest the horse could not run, can only reduce the speed, ride slowly.
