If Yang Siqi wants to travel alone, she naturally wants to do it today and can do it tomorrow, but Ma Mengshi can't, she has to give the kingdom a leave document first, and ask for leave. www.biquge.info After all, as a border guard, she has a heavy responsibility, and if it is not for special reasons, she cannot leave her post without permission. If you leave your post without permission, you will be dismissed from your post at least or your head will fall to the ground. Therefore, she had to take a leave of absence for half a year first.
After receiving Ma Mengshi's leave paperwork, the royal family did not embarrass her, after all, she has been the commander-in-chief of the Pegasus Legion since nineteen, and until this year, she is thirty years old, and she has never taken a vacation.
After receiving the paperwork for leave, and then making all the preparations, this is already the fifth day of the second month, and it is finally time to go. If you want to travel, the happiest thing is, of course, Ma Guohua, to travel, you finally don't have to study at home all day, and you have a vacation to take.
The team traveled westward, and the mountains and rivers were swimming all the way.
Ma Guohua has never left Tianma City since he was a child, only the last time he left on the battlefield, but he only flew in the air, but he didn't really see the prosperity of the world a few times, let alone play with his parents all the way.
By 18 February, the brigade had left Pak Cang Province and entered the territory of Tay Ha Province. When you arrive in a neighboring province, you must visit the local nobles, city lords, guards, and other local magnates in the city you are passing through, and make friends. It is close to Beicang Province, and many people have business dealings with the Ma family, and commodities such as refined salt and Pegasus Liuquan wine have to rely on the Ma family to provide, so Ma Mengshi and his party are naturally welcomed by VIPs.
On February 28, the brigade left Xishan City and entered Yinyan Province in the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom. Although the visit of the hereditary duke of the friendly country was only of a private nature and did not involve diplomatic relations between the two countries, the nobles and officials of the Yinyan Province of the Great Yan Kingdom dared to despise it, and besides, a considerable number of them also had business dealings with the Ma family. Therefore, it is still very ceremoniously welcomed.
Various cities, various tourist attractions, local places of interest, etc., have left the footprints of the Ma family of three. Yang Siqi sighed that the scenery of this world is beautiful, there are many famous mountains, and there are not a few historical sites.
On March 11, they arrived at Linghu City in Wanling County, Yinyan Province.
Located in the west of Linghu City, there is an earl's mansion, which is named the earl of Linghu. The earl is already a high-ranking nobleman, so he is naturally a wealthy family. Dozens of guards and servants guarding the door were receiving a crowd of people who wanted to see the Count.
Several knights arrived at the gate of the Earl's Mansion of Linghu and left the stirrups and fell off their horses. The guards at the gate of the Earl of Linghu's mansion had very sharp eyes, and at a glance they saw that this knight was wearing a rare battle armor, and what he was riding was not an ordinary war horse, but a fourth-level Warcraft, although he didn't know its variety, but the fourth-level Warcraft, this is a Warcraft equivalent to the strength of a first-level warlord or above, and a warrior who can have such a Warcraft as a mount must be an elite warrior, and such a knight is definitely not small.
A knight led by him stepped forward, held a greeting sticker in both hands, and said: "Everyone, you are polite, in Xiamahaishan, it is the Ma family of Beicang Province, and I am ordered by the head of my Ma family to send a worship sticker, asking to see Lord Linghu, the young lord, and the young lady." ”
When the head of the guard heard it, it turned out to be the head of the Ma family. Ma Mengshi, the head of the Ma family, naturally heard the news that he came all the way to the west, and also heard that they arrived in Linghu City, but although they have business dealings with the Ma family, and the business transaction is still quite large, according to the title, it should be the earl who led the whole family to meet Ma Mengshi in person.
"This Brother Ma, Duke Ma has a noble status, and it should have been my Earl to visit him in person, how dare you bother Duke Ma to come and give up in person? My Lord Earl thought that Lord Duke had a long journey, and that he should rest for a day after arriving in Linghu City, and he was going to ask for a meeting tomorrow, but he didn't expect it......"
"You're welcome. My lord said that this is just a personal relationship, and it has nothing to do with the title, and the head of my family will be here in a while, and there is also Lao Tongchuan. ”
"Yes, I'll go and inform the Earl at once."
The Earl's Mansion of Linghu is in chaos. According to the rules of the human world, countries recognize each other's titles, and the dukes of other countries are equivalent to the titles of their own dukes, and the dukes are two levels higher than the earls, which is not comparable at all. And Ma Mengshi's name is famous all over the world, and being able to come to visit a little earl in person is really too much face for the other party. People give you face like this, do you dare not continue?
Linghu Earl Ling Yangbo while arranging the welcome matters, but he muttered in his heart, a few years ago, the Ma family sent someone to take the initiative to ask for cooperation, and last year, the refined salt business in this county, other nobles broke their heads to grab the distribution rights, of course their Ling family also wanted to fight, but they knew that they could not compete with others, however, this refined salt business automatically fell on their heads. Therefore, relying on the active cooperation of the Ma family, the life of the Ling family has been much better in the past few years and has made a fortune. However, no matter how you look at it, it is the Ma family who gives benefits to their spiritual family. This time, Ma Mengshi went to Linghu City and visited the house in person for the first time, what is this all about?
After half an hour, Ma Mengshi led the group to the Linghu Earl's Mansion and entered the Earl's Mansion in the grand welcome ceremony of the Linghu Earl's Mansion.
Arrive in the lobby and sit down. In addition to Ling Yangbo, Linghu was accompanied by his wife, his sister-in-law Ling Guiyan and the young lady. Ma Mengshi's family of three sat down, and five guards stood behind them.
After serving the drink, Ling Yangbo said, "The Duke personally came to the house, which really makes the house have light." It's just that I don't know that the Duke is visiting this time, and the humble house is not welcome, and I forgive my sins. ”
"Earl Ling is polite, in fact, I, Ma Mengshi, don't have much friendship with your mansion. I think the Earl is also guessing in my heart, I don't know what I'm here for? Ma Mengshi was not polite, and pointed it out directly.
Ling Yangbo was a little embarrassed on his face, yes, although the other party has always been friendly with his own family and has given his family a lot of benefits, but he got the benefits of the other party for no reason, which is the most headache, because, there is absolutely no free lunch in this world, this time the other party came to the door in person, I am afraid that he will put forward any conditions that make the Ling family embarrassed, anyway, this is definitely not a good thing.
"Lord Duke said with a smile, our Ling family is just a small earl, Lord Duke can visit the cold house, that is to give our Ling family face, as long as Lord Duke commands, our Ling family will definitely do it for Lord Duke." Anyway, stretching out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, and Ling Yangbo is also a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
Ma Mengshi smiled and said, "The Earl is too worried. I think the young lady should know it in her heart. ”
The eyes of everyone in the Ling family looked at the young lady, but the young lady smiled and said: "At first, I thought it was a stranger with the same name and surname, but when I saw it today, I realized that it was an old man." ”
Yang Siqi stood up, bowed deeply to Mrs. Ling, and said, "Thanks to the help of the young lady that day, Siqi has today." The day's Siqi, who had no long things, had the great grace of the young lady's help, and had nothing to repay, and today passed through your mansion, and he personally came to thank him, and offered a small gift to express his gratitude. ”
"Xiaolan, you and Mr. Yang are old acquaintances?" Ling Guiyan asked curiously.
Lady Ling, that is, Yu Xiaolan, who brought Yang Siqi back to the human world from the Orc Empire that day, said with a smile: "On that day, Mr. Yang left his master at the beginning and went to the Orc Empire, and he didn't understand the language, I brought him back from the Orc Empire, and I also taught him the human language. However, after that, Mr. Yang left without saying goodbye and went to Tianma City, and we did not see each other again for several years after the fight. In the past few years, our Ling family has been able to be favored by the Ma family and take more care of it, and I think it is also the result of Mr. Yang's care. ”
Everyone in the Ling family realized that this was the case, Yang Siqi came to repay the kindness of the day. Yiming So, the Ling family is all relaxed, and they are even more happy, this is a rare opportunity, with the line of the young lady, the benefits from the Ma family in the future will naturally be more.
Seeing Yu Xiaolan's jade-like face, although she is twenty-five or sixteen years old, and she is already the mother of a child, she is still young and beautiful.
"Back then, the young lady was wearing a magic robe, to be honest, I just remember the name and voice of the young lady, but I have never seen a respectful face, and I can see it today." In order not to let Ling Guiyan have any misunderstanding, Yang Siqi deliberately mentioned the old things of the year.
Ling Guiyan originally thought that his wife had some personal relationship with Yang Siqi back then, but when she heard Yang Siqi say this, she laughed in her heart. Yang Siqi was penniless back then, and he didn't show any talent, how could he look down on Yang Siqi with his wife as the earl's daughter-in-law? Moreover, Yang Siqi said that he had never seen Yu Xiaolan's face, which is quite credible. Therefore, a little misunderstanding in my heart naturally disappeared.
Since there is an old one, and the Ling family also has a place that depends on the Ma family, the two families are naturally happy as guests and hosts. During the banquet, Ma Mengshi made it clear that the Ma family supports the Ling family's new round of business plans, and the Ma family can provide all kinds of goods.
For Ma Mengshi's statement, and it is still quite a good price to provide a variety of goods. Of course, the Ling family also understands that this is for Yang Siqi's sake. However, the benefits can not be exhausted, people remember your kindness, know how to repay the kindness, but by no means let you take what you want, you know how to measure yourself. Therefore, the Ling family was not insatiable, so the two sides cooperated happily.
In any case, cooperating with the Ma family will be beneficial to the Ling family. And, because of Yu Xiaolan's relationship, the Ma family cooperated not only with the Ling family, but also with Yu Xiaolan's maternal family, the Yu family, because Ma Mengshi did not plan to go back to the Yu family, so Yu Xiaolan signed a series of cooperation plans with the Ma family on behalf of the Yu family. Although there was no Yu family present, I believe that the Yu family would not refuse such cooperation, after all, no one would be stupid enough to push away all the gold coins sent to the door.
"I didn't expect that my kindness that day helped him a small favor, but today he gave me such a big reward, the impermanence of life, but that's it." When Ma Mengshi's family said goodbye and left, they returned to their room and closed the door, Yu Xiaolan said with a sigh.
"Xiaolan, what is the origin of this Yang Siqi?" Ling Guiyan was really a little curious.
"I don't know. In fact, I don't know much about him, but it is rumored that he is an apprentice of a hermit, and after completing his studies, he asked his master to send him down the mountain to practice, but I don't know why, he fell into the orc empire, this rumor is only heard, whether it is true or not, I don't know. But just looking at what he has done in the past few years, it seems that he is a person with great wisdom, otherwise, Ma Mengshi would not have taken a fancy to him. ”
Ling Guiyan wanted to ask, "Did you take a fancy to him that day?" But he knew that he would never be able to ask, the relationship between their husband and wife was not bad, and this kind of words that hurt the feelings of the husband and wife should never be asked.
Yu Xiaolan seemed to see her husband's thoughts, and said with a smile: "If I knew that he had such a ability that day, I would definitely not let him go, but unfortunately, he didn't show it, Brother Yan, there is nothing else between me and him." ”
"Xiaolan, of course I believe you. It's just that I'm really curious about this person, it's really not easy to conquer a proud woman like Ma Mengshi in just one or two years. Ling Guiyan smiled and said, as for what his heart thought, only he knew.
