In the eyes of the imperial court, there is no so-called chivalry, some are just a group of fanatical people who destroy the law of the imperial court.

Not only did they not abide by the laws of the empire, but they also took revenge for the interests of the sect, fought each other for personal grievances, and killed court officials for the so-called chivalrous deeds, destroying the local order.

So in the eyes of the imperial court, this is a group of people who do not accept the rules and do not abide by the order. In order to stabilize society and appease the people, the imperial court strengthened its restraint and surveillance on them.

Whenever there is misconduct, where there is a sense of hostility to the court, but whenever there is an action to deceive the people, the empire will send troops to encircle and suppress it.

In the encirclement and suppression battles again and again, there were indeed many accidents, but there were not too many casualties, until the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Sect that bewitched the people, the killing of the encirclement and suppression army by Zhang Xu, the 'Holy Hand of Mobei', made the Great Qin Empire pay attention to this problem.

Later, there was the behavior of Jinyiwei and the Six Doors to recruit martial arts people, and on the other hand, they took out the cheats collected in the past and trained martial arts masters themselves to deal with these people who did not accept the laws of the imperial court.

But up and down the Great Qin Empire, no one thought about recruiting people with martial arts into the army. Until this Maoshigou battle, Ma Zhan, who was accustomed to martial arts, led thousands of remnants of the army and blocked the attack of the Xiongnu army in the narrow Maoshigou.

This military report flew to the imperial capital, which completely made the Great Qin monarchs and ministers pay attention to it. Since then, Daqin's army has slowly recruited all kinds of martial arts people, composing one legend after another.

Although the things considered by the Great Qin monarchs and ministers had nothing to do with Ma Zhan, the imperial court did not forget this marquis and hero who had no real power.

In April of the sixth year, Ma Zhan successfully blocked the occupation of Maoshigou by the Xiongnu army because of his outstanding achievements, thus disintegrating a great war. In this regard, the imperial court decided to reward Ma Zhan and promote him to the first rank.

Ma Zhan was really happy, he participated in a war, just an act of self-preservation, not only saved the robe, but also disintegrated a great war, and was named a third-class duke, hahaha, is there anything more joyful than this!

Life must be full of joy, and Ma Zhan is drunk again.

When he woke up the next day, Ma Zhan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what it was. Although he felt that it was very important, he couldn't think of what he could do, and this painful feeling made Ma Zhan uncomfortable, so he had to use the practice of fists and feet to vent.

The unhappy days were lived uncomfortably like this, until one day, the housekeeper Lao Wang inadvertently said: "Boss, I have done some business according to your instructions." Since I was just starting out, I had to spend a lot of time managing the business, so I neglected some things in the house, and as a result, some courtyards were not cleaned in time. For this reason, I propose to be promoted to a few more stewards and servants, but I think that the main thing is that we lack a mistress in the house, and if that were the case, I think everything in the house would be well managed. ”

Lao Wang's suggestion Ma Zhan was no longer taken seriously, because he remembered an important matter, a lifelong event about himself.

Six years have passed, I don't know if Liu Wenxin is still alive? Or is it ......

After explaining to Lao Wang, he let him take care of all the management and business in the mansion by himself, and at the same time he would take care of the deputy city lord.

Hurriedly cleaned up, came to the Yanmen City Ruling Hall, greeted the two deputy city lords, and said: "Deputy City Lord Liu, Deputy City Lord Zhang, I need you to take care of the people in my house in the future, today I will leave Yanmen and return to the capital." ”

"This grandfather can rest assured, we will definitely do our best. I don't think anyone will embarrass Grandpa Guo's mansion, hahaha. Deputy City Lord Liu said jokingly.

Deputy City Lord Zhang thought about it, what to say, but he didn't say it, Ma Zhan felt that it might be that Deputy City Lord Zhang really wanted to say something to himself, so he chatted for a while. In the end, the deputy city lord Zhang still didn't say anything, and Ma Zhan didn't think about it, left the ruling hall, came to the barracks, and resigned to the commander of the border army, General Zhang Sheng.

After Ma Zhan left the ruling hall, this Deputy City Lord Liu said to Deputy City Lord Zhang: "Lao Zhang, do you want to say to our city lord, the duke of the imperial court, that court officials are not allowed to be businessmen." ”

"Yes, I really want to say it to our grandfather, but after thinking about it again, forget it, they are just a different person, and they are different from us, and the court has not issued documents about them, so I didn't say it. Deputy City Lord Zhang said directly.

"That's true, so we don't need to embarrass people, besides, people are big celebrities in the court, so we don't need to offend. Deputy City Lord Liu said enviously.

......

"Welcome, Grandpa Guo, I haven't seen you for a while, Mahou Ye has become Ma's Grandpa, it's really amazing. Seriously, I still have to thank you for your performance in Maoshigou, otherwise, I would really be a sinner. Zhang Sheng said boldly.

"General Zhang praised it falsely, brother, I also want to save my life, but I made war exploits in a daze, I still don't know how to say it. ”

After a few words of greeting, Ma Zhan cut to the chase and said, "General Zhang, my junior brother came to bid you farewell today, because of some things, I am going to the imperial capital." I think that after going to the imperial capital to do something, I may not be able to return to Yanmen City for a long time, so I hope you can take care of my mansion. ”

"What is this, for sure. But Brother Ma, brother, I want to ask, if you don't go back to Yanmen Pass halfway through, what do you want to do?" Zhang Sheng asked.

"Don't hide it from my brother, brother, I have been yearning for the rivers and lakes for a long time, and I have been working hard to cultivate martial arts before, plus some trivial matters, which has only dragged on until now, so I want to take this opportunity to have a good time. ”

"This river and lake is not easy to break into, especially those who have the name of the imperial court, but have entered the rivers and lakes. In the past few decades, there have been people from the imperial court who have gone to the rivers and lakes, but the result is either death or vendetta killing, and sometimes the court is really difficult to deal with. And some things can't be explained in a few words, however, what I want to tell you is that the people of the court go to the rivers and lakes, the danger is greater than that of ordinary people, the important thing is that the court will not save you when you are in danger, in fact, to put it bluntly, the court will not care about these people. Do you understand? So, I still want to persuade my brother to think about it. When Zhang Sheng said these words, he was very serious.

Ma Zhan replied, "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I will think about it." ”

After finishing business, he drank a few more glasses and chatted for a while, and then Ma Zhan left the barracks and set foot on the road to the capital.
