Ma Slender knew that everyone had heard of the grassland battle at the beginning of the year, and many people said that Lin Yu led the troops very well, and all kinds of military strategies were captured, and every attack was unexpected by the enemy, and the generals who had fought with him were all terrified. 【】

If you're lucky enough to be around him, you'll learn a lot!

"What are you talking about?" The fat man stretched out his hand and patted the thin man's head, and said with a smug face: "Why don't you hurry up and thank General Lin! Wow! It is your great blessing to be able to follow the boss, do you know? If I hadn't sworn to follow the boss's side at the beginning, how could our Ma family have such a scenery today?"

"Thank you...... Thank you, General Lin, I ...... I really can't thank you enough. Only then did the thin man come to his senses and hurriedly spoke. He stammered a little excitedly, and kept bowing to Old Man Lin.

"Well, it's not a big deal, but it's just a gesture. Old Man Lin waved his hand, stood up and said, "Xiao Yu is now in the Ximu Empire, you can take the time to go over to him, and then tell him my arrangements." Okay, now that the problem has been solved, then I'll go back to my room to rest, and you guys should go back early!"

Old Man Lin was about to leave, but he was stopped by Ma Fatzi: "Old General Lin, please stay!" Thank you very much for your care of my brother, I still have a little gift here, which my father specially instructed to give to you. ”

Without waiting for Old Man Lin to refuse, Ma Fatzi made two cages out of nowhere and put them on the table.

I saw that each cage contained a small animal with short hair, a long tail, and flat ears, which looked a bit like a squirrel, but it was much fatter than a squirrel, and its tail was only a short one.

The animals in the two cages look exactly the same, but the coat color is black and white, the eyes are dark, full of aura, and the four claws are fleshy, which does not look dangerous, but is somewhat cute.

"This ...... What kind of thing is this? Are you going to give two mice to the old man? This doesn't look like a mouse! How can there be such a fat mouse?" Old Man Lin thought it was some kind of gold, silver and jewelry, and was about to refuse, but when he saw such two small things, he couldn't help but ask a little puzzled.

Staring at the two animals in the cage, one black and one white, he was very puzzled, he was about to enter the ground, how could he never see such a small thing?

"Hehe, General Lin, these two animals are called Lingze rats, they are my father's treasures, and they have been treasured at home all these years. Don't look at the two of them as chubby, as if they can only be used as pets, in fact, they are two spirit beasts with the same heart!" Ma Fat Man introduced very hard.

"Heart-to-heart connection?" Old Man Lin raised his eyebrows and asked with some surprise. Spirit beasts are very rare in Great Xia, and they can basically only be regarded as legends. These two little things look very spiritual, are they really spirit beasts?

"Of course, General Lin, don't think I'm tricking you, they not only have the same heart, but also understand people's words, and can also write! If you don't believe me, I'll show you!" Ma Fatzi handed the cage containing the white Lingze mouse to Ma Slender Man, then took out two pieces of paper from his arms, and handed Ma Slender one more.

Then, he asked Ma Slender to bring the white Lingze rat and paper, and by the way, he took a cup of tea and walked out the door. When the thin man had reached the door, he went up and closed the door, and then walked back and whispered to the black Lingze Mouse.

Although the voice of the fat man was not loud, the old man Lin who was standing on the side heard it clearly, and what he said was: "There are ambushes in the woods thirty miles to the east. ”

After a while, Ma Slender pushed open the door and walked in, picked up the paper in his hand, and spread it out in front of Old Man Lin.

Old Man Lin looked at it intently, and saw that the paper was crookedly written, "There are ambush soldiers in the woods thirty miles to the east," which was exactly what Ma Fatzi said just now! However, the handwriting did not look like it was written by an adult, but rather like a small animal dipped its fingertips in water and written on the paper one by one.

"There really are such magical spirit beasts! If you can use them to exchange letters, wouldn't it be faster than flying pigeons to pass on books?" Old Man Lin couldn't help but admire, and asked curiously: "How did your father get such a high-level spirit beast?"

He estimated that this spirit beast should be an alien species, although the Great Xia Empire said that the land was vast and rich, but as a national prince, he had never seen anything? But this spirit rat, he really saw it for the first time.

"Back to General Lin's words, these two Lingze rats are actually handed down from the ancestors of our Ma family, don't look at them so small, they are older than me! Anyway, since I was sensible, they have been there!"

Seeing that Old Man Lin looked at these two spirit beasts with great interest, Ma Fatzi added: "The Ma family originally had ancestral teachings, saying that this is not a common thing in our mortal world, and it is easy to be coveted when taken out, so it has always been hidden at home. Recently, the boss has helped the Ma family a lot, and let my father get his wish to promote the family to the marquis family, so my father has always wanted to find an opportunity to thank the boss!"

Old Man Lin retracted his gaze, shook his head and said, "Your father's kindness, I took it for Xiao Yu." He originally had a strong relationship with you, so he would help your family, which was not a big favor, and I didn't help much. This thing is too valuable for me to accept. ”

Ma Fatzi was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "My father said before I came, he originally wanted to send some common precious herbs or gold and silver treasures, but he also thought that the Lin family was not short of money, and there must be no shortage of these." Besides, the only thing our Ma family can get hold of is these two little things, General Lin, don't shirk it!"

"Then I can't accept it! This is your family heirloom, the gentleman doesn't take people's favor, you better take it back and give it back to your father!" Old Man Lin patted the cage containing the Lingze rat and said kindly.

The black Lingze Rat looked at him very coldly, motionless, and the white Lingze Rat was bouncing in the other cage, looking at the white-haired old man very curiously, looking very smart.

Ma Fatzi's face immediately fell, and he said aggrievedly: "General Lin, my father gave a death order before I came, if I don't give this thing to you today, I don't have to go back to be his son." Anyway, if you leave this thing in our house, it's not much use, so it's better to let the boss make the most of it!"
