Ma Le was taken aback, looked back, and saw that the man was about forty, his face was like the sunset, wearing a felt hat, wrapped in a sheepskin jacket, lying in the snowdrift, and he had not seen him just now.

This person is the head of the Xiliang Righteous Army, Beigong Yin, the son of Beigong Boyu, after Beigong Boyu was attacked and killed by Han Sui and others, Beigong Yin fled to Hexi, was taken in by Ma Teng, and became a family general incognito, and is now responsible for teaching Ma Chao's son martial arts.

Beigong Yin did not intend to avenge his father, but he was dedicated to practicing martial arts, and he heard that he got a scripture book from a grotto in Dunhuang, and he slept and practiced all day long, and he never stepped out of the city for more than 30 years in Guzang.

Ma Le knew that this person had a strange temperament, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Beigong, do you have a plan to break the enemy?" ”

Beigong Yin shook his head and smiled: "It's not that I have a countermeasure, but there is another master in Guzang City, why don't you ask him?" ”

"There are still masters in Guzang City?" Ma Le frowned and said, "How can I not know?" ”

Beigong Yin laughed and said: "The generals are determined to be in the world, and they only care about state affairs, so they naturally ignore the details. Although I have never been out of the city, I know everything about the grass and trees in the city, and even if a bird flies in or a mouse runs in, it can't hide from my ears and eyes. ”

"That's true!" Ma Le shook his head and smiled: "If you are familiar with Guzang City, I, a native, am not as good as Brother Beigong." ”

Beigong Yin said: "In Laoyu Lane in the east of the city, there is a coffin shop, does the general know?" ”

Ma Le nodded and said, "Jia's coffin shop, I know this, can't I go there to find the dead?" ”

Beigong Yin asked, "Do you know who the real owner of the coffin shop of the Najia family is?" ”

Ma Le frowned and said, "Isn't it the ancestral craft of the Jia family?" ”

Beigong Yin chuckled: "Its owner is Jia Wenhe, who stirred up the Central Plains back then, his father and son mysteriously disappeared three years ago, and they have actually returned to the old mansion." ”

"What?" Ma Le was shocked and incredulous: "Jia Wenhe ...... Did he really come back? ”

"Not bad!" Beigong Yin nodded and said: "A month ago, the county lord led the rebel army to kill Yan Jun, including Zhang Quan, the son of Zhang Xiu. It's just that since they are incognito, they are afraid that they are unwilling to serve the court. ”

"Gu Zang is not guaranteed, how can they have a good life?" Ma Le turned around and strode out of the house.

The snow on the street has long been cleared, but no one cares about Old Elm Lane, it seems that because there is a coffin shop on this street, there are only two lines of deep and shallow footprints.

Ma Le came to Jia's coffin shop alone, buttoning the cold door knocker, but his heart was beating with excitement, and he sighed that this was really hidden in the city!

In the backyard of the coffin shop, a copper brazier shaped like a straw hat is set up in the wing room, the firewood is burning vigorously, the iron ring in the middle of the fire is boiling clay pot tea, grilling meat skewers, and the outer disc is warm with wine, and the house is full of incense.

Jia Xu was wearing a leather jacket, sitting by the stove and seriously turning over the mutton skewers, his face was slightly black, his eyes were cloudy, full of vicissitudes, leisurely and wooden, no different from those old farmers in the market.

Zhang Quan rubbed his sword in the corner not far away, and said hurriedly: "Father-in-law......"

"Don't call me father!" Jia Xu blew the ash on the copper plate and said seriously: "Even if you call me an old man, it's okay!" ”

Zhang Quan walked over and said hurriedly: "Now that the rebels are getting bigger and bigger, Wuwei may not be able to hold it, why don't you ask me to enlist?" ”

Jia Xu looked at Zhang Quan, a fine light flashed in his small eyes, and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew really wants to contribute to the country?" ”

Zhang Quan looked a little embarrassed, sat next to him with a light cough, lowered his head and took the tea can to hide his embarrassment, and said while pouring tea: "Of course, there are no eggs under the nest, and the rebels enter the city, and we will also be affected." ”

Jia Xu took a sip of tea and said angrily: "The Ma family is a general, the father and son are both tiger generals, so Ma Yunlu ...... She is also a tiger girl! This woman is not a big hero and cannot be controlled, so the virtuous nephew should lower his eyes! ”

"Ahem......" Zhang Quan's face suddenly turned red, and he became a little irritable: "If you don't give it a try, how do you know that I can't control this woman?" At this time, when helping the needy and heroes saving the United States, as long as the rebels are quelled, this woman will definitely look at it differently. ”

Since the last time he rebelled in the rebel army, Zhang Quan saw Ma Yunlu's sassy and heroic posture before the battle, so he fell in love and never forgot it, and wanted to join the army several times to help her, in order to get close to the opportunity, but was persuaded by Jia Xu.

Jia Xu shook his head and sighed, and said slowly: "Take the initiative to be courteous, how can it be compared to him coming to ask for advice?" Things are respectful, virtuous nephews are not self-respecting, how can people respect you? ”

"But it's been more than a year, and we're living in seclusion in the alleys, who knows?" Zhang Quan clapped his hands helplessly: "Now that your old man is walking on the street, no one recognizes you, and you live in a coffin shop, who wants to come to the door?" ”

"You need to know that there is no impermeable wall in the world!" Jia Xu handed the meat skewer to Zhang Quan and said with a smile: "If this is goose meat, you won't be able to eat it." ”

Zhang Quan took the meat skewer and was stunned for a moment, and then said dissatisfiedly: "My father is also a marquis and a general, and I am also a general, how can I compare to a pimple?" ”

While he was laughing, he suddenly heard the knocker of the door, which was very crisp in the silence of the ice and snow.

Jia Xu's small eyes narrowed slightly: "The noble man has arrived!" ”

Zhang Quan said in disbelief: "How do you know that you are not here to buy a coffin?" ”

Jia Xu smiled: "There have been no dead people in the city recently. ”

"Won't you move the grave?" Zhang Quan was unconvinced, and walked to the door with a mutter.

Sure enough, I heard that someone was asking the concierge about the people in the backyard, and they didn't come to buy the coffin, so he hurriedly turned to Jia Xu and said, "If it's really from the Ma family, my father-in-law ...... Can my uncle use family affairs as a condition, so that I can contribute to them! ”

Jia Xu shook his head slowly and said, "If you want to solve the trouble in Hexi, you can't propose to the Ma family." ”

Zhang Quan was stunned and said, "Why is this? ”

Before the words fell, someone turned the courtyard and said loudly, "Mr. Wenhe can be here?" ”

Zhang Quan went to the door, saw that the person who came was Ma Le, and wanted to leave a good impression first, it was important to please his brother-in-law, and without waiting for Jia Xu to answer, he went out to greet him, hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Jia is here, may I ask your Excellency?" ”

"Oh, there's a master here!" Ma Le was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Unknown is in the city, I haven't waited to visit, it's rude!" ”

"Where, where!" Zhang Quan followed Ma Le into the house and pointed to Jia Xu and introduced: "Mr. is here!" ”

Ma Le Shili said: "Mr. Daming, I have heard of it in the morning, but I can't see it, today I have to worship dignity, and I am fortunate to have three lives." ”

Jia Xu saw the ceremony, invited Ma Le to take a seat, and said angrily: "Because the Cao family has the heart of usurpation, we abandoned the official and returned to our hometown, suffered from the war, and did not want to be involved in disputes again, so we lived in seclusion here. ”

Ma Leyan said: "I shouldn't have disturbed Mr. Qingxiu, but at present, Hexi is in turmoil, Xiliang is turbulent, Wuwei has an urgent need, and Mr. must have heard of it." We are stupid, there is no strategy against the enemy, I heard that Mr. is here, I came to ask for advice, and I hope that Mr. will help me and others for the sake of the people of Wuwei. ”

"Although the thief is big, it is just a rabble, and it is not difficult to break it, but this is not fundamental!" Jia Xu tugged at the goat's whiskers and said slowly: "If you want to clear the trouble of Liangzhou, you need to get rid of the people behind the scenes." ”
