Chapter Ninety-Three
Ma Furong and his entourage set off from Chang'an and marched towards Youzhou City, on the road at sunrise and overnight at sunset, without stopping for a day. By the time they arrived outside Youzhou City, the people and horses were already exhausted.
The guard of the dart bureau because this ticket is the general's sister, so do not dare to slack off, sent are experienced dart masters, the leader is responsible for the person called Wang Yuancheng, this person is more than 20 years old, don't look at him is a dart master, often on the road, on horseback, the wind and the sun, but the person is white, not at all like a person who practices martial arts, but like a person who appreciates flowers and composes poems in the study and courtyard every day, and must occasionally come out to visit the mountains and rivers to enjoy the scholar. Don't look at this Wang Yuancheng looks like a boy and a son, he is full of martial arts, since he started as a dart master, there has been no mismatch yet, so he is already an experienced dart master.
This time he was sent to be responsible for escorting Ma Furong to Youzhou City, along the way he was conscientious and always vigilant, the girl of the main family is beautiful, so he was vigilant all the way, for fear that the beauty would attract the concern of the bandits, fortunately Ma Furong is relatively low-key, although the group of people and horses are vast, the appearance of the car is relatively low-key and simple, and the appearance of the car has no gorgeous decoration, so I can't see that this is the carriage of the General's Mansion, outsiders will not guess that this is the car of the General's Mansion, and the general's sister is sitting in the car, Ma Furong went out every morning to get in the car, covering her face with a veil on her head, so that people could not see her appearance, she was in the car during the day, eating and drinking during the day, until the team was going to stay in the hotel every night before getting off, and when she got off the car, she wore a veil and went directly into the room and did not come out, all that was needed was carried into the house by her personal maid, so although he was nervous about this dart, he still arrived in Youzhou very smoothly.
This team of people stopped in front of the gate of Youzhou City, and the inspection of entering Youzhou City was still very strict, and everyone had to get off the horse and get off the car to be inspected, and the speed was still very slow. Except for Ma Furong, everyone else in the team got out of the car and waited for inspection, and when it was time for Ma Furong to be inspected, her personal maid opened the curtain of the carriage car and raised her hand to help Ma Furong out of the car, and Ma Furong had already taken off her veil at this time.
When she saw the soldier guarding the gate who was in charge of the inspection, she also greeted the other party with a smile: "The official has worked hard." ”
The little soldier guarding the city was impressed by her beautiful appearance and looked a little obsessed, but soon realized that he had lost his mind, and hurriedly swallowed his saliva and asked officially, "Where are you?" ”
"Chang'an people" Ma Furong smiled and answered truthfully.
"What are you doing in Youzhou?" The soldier continued to ask as he followed.
"Go back to my brother's house."
"Where does my brother's family live in the city?"
"Liuhe Lane, Mafu"
"Mafu?" The soldier was stunned, turned and ran to find his commander.
Soon, the captain of the soldiers guarding the city ran over with the little soldiers, and asked Ma Furong with a respectful smile: "This young lady, but is General Ma's sister?" ”
"Exactly." Ma Furong kept smiling and nodded yes.
"The lower official didn't know that Miss Ma entered the city today, just now his subordinates were offended, and now General Ma is not in the city, his subordinates sent someone to escort you into the city, right?" The commander who guards the city is a smart person, and now the woman in front of him is Ma Xiaotian's sister, and he behaved so well that he sent someone to escort him back, saying that he would not look down and General Ma's sister was happy, and praised him in front of the general that he would do things, and maybe he could be promoted again.
"No need, thank you for taking care of the official, this is my guard, so I won't bother you to bother me." Ma Furong smiled and pointed to Wang Yuancheng, who had been following him, and pushed away the excuse that the prefect of the city guard flattered him and wanted to send someone to escort him.
Seeing that Miss Ma was followed by an escort, her wishful thinking of taking the plane to the top was in vain, the corner of the mouth of the commander guarding the city twitched, knowing that the road of flattering the general's sister was blocked, he still replied smartly: "Since this is the case, then please Miss get in the car quickly, and I will let you and your men enter the city." ”
"Sir, is it because I'm the general's sister that I don't check on the rest of my convoy?" Who knows, Ma Furong didn't accept his favor, and asked him with a smile, but there was no appreciation in his words.
"No, no, isn't the lower official worried about your safety, so he has a special case." The chief explained to himself with a smile on his face, he didn't expect the general's sister to be so unappreciative and embarrassed him in public, he had a heart attack, but he thought that the general's sister was not a person to be messed with, so he still endured it.
"No need, sir, you still follow the rules, check them one by one, since there is a city gate inspection instruction here, there must be something important to do, why don't I obey it because I am the general's sister." Please keep checking back! ”
Ma Furong said the head of the way, and after saying a gentle gesture of invitation, the chief guarding the city was speechless. He had to wave his hand to his subordinates, signaling them to continue to check and release the people behind him according to the regulations.
Ma Furong saw that they continued to inspect according to the regulations, so he turned around and got into the carriage and sat inside to wait, because they all knew that this team of people and horses were from the general's family, so the soldiers were all in the form of a quick question, and the commander finally reported to Ma Furong that it was checked, this time he nodded and sent people away, looking at the convoy that was slowly walking away, he wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, snorted with a wry smile in his heart, and finally sent the person away.
The group continued to walk towards the city, and there was a rickety figure at the back of the team, following the convoy from a distance without a trace.
Until Ma Furong's car stopped in front of the door of Mafu, Wang Yuancheng rode a horse in front to lead the way, and when he arrived at Mafu, he got off his horse first and went to knock on the door.
Knock knock, after three knocks on the door, Wang Yuancheng knocked three more times, and after a while, he came to open the door.
Sloppy calculated that Ma Furong should be there in two or three days, as soon as he opened the door and saw Wang Yuancheng, although he didn't know him, but when he saw the carriage and pomp at the door, he guessed that the young lady must have arrived, so he didn't ask Wang Yuancheng what was going on knocking on the door, he had already stepped out of the far door, stood outside the door and asked Wang Yuancheng with a smile: "The guest is from the capital?" ”
"Exactly" Wang Yuancheng replied, and then pointed to the first carriage behind him, only to show Ma Huo: "The car is the eldest lady of Mafu, we are the dart master of the Beijing Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, this trip is we escorting Miss Ma all the way to Youzhou, please arrange for your young lady to get off." ”
