Chapter 412 Xiliang Pepper to Wuyuan
It is said that more than a month has passed in the Jin Kingdom. Xiliang Ma Teng and Youzhou Liu Dai, who were good friends with Bingzhou, had already received the news, so they sent envoys to congratulate them, intending to further strengthen their relations with the Jin State.
Because of the closest, the envoy sent by Liu Dai was the first to arrive in Jinyang City. The envoy sent by Liu Dai visited Zhao Xing with a rather expensive gift, expressing his willingness to continue to make friends, and revealed Liu Dai's attitude of Zhao Xing's horse-headed attitude, and offered to open the Great Wall Pass around Daijun and allow the troops of the Jin State to enter and exit freely.
Zhao Xing naturally represented Liu Rong, the king of Jin, and warmly received the envoy sent by Liu Dai, and reassured Liu Dai that the Jin State had never planned to attack Youzhou, and hoped that the two families would continue to maintain a close all-weather friendship in the future. The envoy who received Zhao Xing's reply returned happily to Youzhou with many gifts specially given back by the Jin State.
Liu Dai's envoy left Jinyang with his front foot, and the envoy sent by Ma Teng arrived in Crouching Tiger City. What Zhao Xing didn't expect was that the messenger sent by Ma Teng was actually Han Sui.
Why didn't Han Sui go directly to Jinyang but came to Crouching Tiger City specifically? Because Han Sui was better than the envoy sent by Liu Dai. Although everyone knows that the newly crowned King of Jin is just a puppet in Zhao Xing's hands, from a face point of view, the envoys representing all forces should first meet the King of Jin after coming to the Jin Kingdom. But the treacherous and cunning Han Sui did the opposite, and actually came to see Zhao Xing first.
Han Sui actually had his own considerations when he did this. First, Ma Teng's forces placed Zhao Xing before the king of Jin, which shows that they attach great importance to befriending Zhao Xing; second, Ma Teng's forces directly bypassed the king of Jin to visit Zhao Xing, and set the relationship between their own side and the Jin state. In other words, Ma Teng believes that the power of the Qiang Commander's Mansion is not on the same level as the Jin State, and he is not qualified to sit on an equal footing. Third, there were too many people in this huge mission sent by Ma Teng who were coming to Crouching Tiger City, and Han Sui had to consider everyone's feelings, not wanting to go against the wishes of several important members of the envoy group.
Who are the members of the envoy group who can make Han Sui feel difficult and headaches? They are Ma Teng's eldest daughter, Ma Yunluo, and his son Ma Dai. Ma Yunluo, who is seventeen years old, is not only bright and pretty, but also has a temperament that is comparable to Zhao Yu back then, to describe it in one word, that is, hot and coquettish!
This time to envoy the Jin Kingdom, Ma Teng had no intention of letting his eldest daughter go with the group, but he really couldn't stand Ma Yunluo's troubles, so he had to agree with a bitter face. In order to look at himself, the pearl of his palm, Ma Teng also specially arranged for his nephew Ma Dai, who is calm and introverted, to go to the Jin Kingdom with Ma Yunluo.
Although Ma Dai is a little younger than Ma Yunluo, he is cautious and thoughtful and very patient. Although Ma Yunluo has a hot temper and is often so anxious to stomp his feet for his stuffy cousin, there is nothing he can do about Ma Dai, and it can be regarded as one thing and one thing.
After receiving the tip from the shadow, Zhao Xing had to rush back to Crouching Tiger City from Jinyang City to meet the delegation sent by Ma Teng. Because Ma Teng sent Han Sui, a very scheming subordinate, as an envoy, Zhao Xing did not dare to be sloppy at all, so he arranged Jia Xu, who was born in Wuwei, as the main person in charge, to make specific arrangements for the reception.
After getting in close contact with Han Sui, after some verbal temptation, Zhao Xing could be sure that Han Sui was really not simple. Han Sui was not obscure about the things that led the Qiang rebellion in the past, but he skillfully threw the responsibility to the imperial court.
Han Sui said that the imperial court only knew that the Han people who sold their officials and lords, and the Han Taishou sent to Jincheng and other counties only knew how to oppress and loot the local Qiang people, which caused the local Qiang people and even the Han people to rebel together. Han Sui also said with great certainty that if Jincheng County had a good official like Zhao Taifu to govern, he would definitely not rise up to rebel, and the Qiang people would not rebel.
Just this conversation, you can see Han Sui's tactfulness and city government. Although Zhao Xing was quite jealous of the famous "anti-bone boy" Han Sui in history, he did not deliberately show it on his face, after all, the other party is now Ma Teng's messenger.
After warmly receiving and arranging the Wuwei envoy group, Zhao Xing originally thought that he could relax for a while, and then concentrate on competing with the negotiation opponents sent by Cao Cao, Sun Jian and other forces one after another, but a "little pepper" in the envoy group made him tremble in fear for several days.
This "chili girl" who gave Zhao Xing a headache is naturally Ma Teng's eldest daughter Ma Yunluo.
Ma Yunluo pestered his father several times before he came to Crouching Tiger City as he wished, and there was also a reason. Let's not forget that Ma Yunluo's personal maid is Qin Yun, the intelligence team member who is ambushed in Ma Teng's mansion, who has closely monitored the Ma family's every move over the years, and often delivers some information back, which can be regarded as very dedicated.
Dedication can be dedicated, but Qin Yun is also a living person, not a tool without seven emotions and six desires. Seeing that the fourteen-year-old girl, after seven years of hiding, has now become an old girl in her early twenties, several times Ma Teng planned to choose a general for Qin Yun in his army and marry her. Qin Yun is naturally unwilling to live or die, firstly, once she marries, the safest information line she is responsible for will be invalidated, and secondly, Qin Yun has a sweetheart and does not want to marry someone else as a wife.
Who is Qin Yun's sweetheart? Hua Weiguo. The two of them had been trained together at the Shadow Base Camp and were familiar with each other, and they had been in love with each other since they were young boys and girls, and although they had gone through so many years, they were even more eager. If Ma Yunluo could follow the delegation to Crouching Tiger City, he would naturally take Qin Yun on the road together, which happened to fulfill Qin Yun's wish to see Hua Weiguo.
So Qin Yun often blew the wind in Ma Yunluo's ear, saying how lively and fun Crouching Tiger City was, and how powerful General Zhenbei and his brothers were. Ma Yunluo, who was originally at the age of a young girl's spring, was naturally very curious under Qin Yun's prodding, so he stalked his father for his consent, and finally came to Crouching Tiger City as he wished.
After seeing Zhao Xing, Ma Yunluo, who admired the great hero and admired the "handsome pot", was indeed attracted by Zhao Xing's extraordinary conversation and chic and dignified heart, and every day Uncle Long and Uncle shouted Zhao Xing short, pestering Zhao Xing to take her around Crouching Tiger City, if Zhao Xing let others do it for him, it would not work.
Zhao Xing was dumbfounded. Zhao Xing, who has already taken six daughters-in-law and is secretly determined not to "mess with flowers and grass" anymore, how could he not see the abnormal behavior of the little girl, so he hurriedly shouted "STOP" in his heart, hiding in the house and not daring to go out.
I don't know if Zhao Yucheng wanted to trick Zhao Xing to repay the old account of Zhao Xing's cheating marriage in Mayi City. Zhao Yu, who was already pregnant, happened to meet Ma Yunluo when he was bored in Crouching Tiger City. So Zhao Yu always tried to take Ma Yunluo to harass Zhao Xing, and Ma Yunluo was also bold and enthusiastic, and he did not hide his admiration for Zhao Xing at all, so that Zhao Xing couldn't raise his head in front of several ladies.
Zhao Xing, who was so annoyed, was so mixed up by Zhao Yu, and suddenly remembered one thing, after secretly having fun for a long time, he played a little trick, and soon fooled Ma Yunluo to Wuyuan City.
What do you think of Zhao Xing? He remembered that in his previous life, it seemed that Zhao Yun's wife seemed to be Ma Yunluo! After so many years, Zhao Yun also married a daughter-in-law in Wulan, which did not conform to Zhao Xing's slogan of advocating eugenics. With such excellent genes as Zhao Yun, why do you have to have a few more dolls......
