Chapter 219: Sister Mara
Previously, Gao Jie thought that Mang Gurtai would not dare to be too presumptuous and embarrass himself because of the relationship between Nurhachi, Daishan and Huang Taiji, but who knew that this sick guy did not save face for himself at all, and directly asked to check the people of the Ponzi Chamber of Commerce, which greatly surprised Gao Jie and others.

Thinking that Sun Qianguang's left arm was now wrapped like a dumpling, Gao Jie felt a pain in his brain and couldn't help but be stunned.
In fact, Mang Gurtai is also a little weak-hearted. To say that among the other three Baylors, what he is most afraid of is not the brave and heroic Dai Shan, nor the amiable Amin, but the scheming Huang Taiji. Forcibly investigating Gao Jie's caravan annoyed Dai Shan, it was nothing more than making him angry and scold himself a few words, and he would be fine later, but once Huang Taiji misunderstood that this matter was aimed at him, it would be troublesome, and he would not be as mad on the spot as Dai Shan, and even as if nothing had happened, maybe he was thinking about how to take revenge on you tenfold and hundredfold.
Worry is worry, but Mang Gurtai's character is withdrawn, unreasonable, only admit death, after Longdu raised his suspicions about Gao Jie and his party, Mang Gurtai thought about it a little, and felt very reasonable. Now that he has decided it, he must find out, even if it may offend the two and Shobele.
Mang Gurtai stared at Gao Jie, seeing that he was a little hesitant, and even more suspicious, and was about to order to enter the house to check, when he suddenly heard someone in the house say loudly: "It turns out that Sanbeile has arrived, the old man is old and weak, and his movements are slow, so he is late to greet him, don't blame him!"
When Mang Gurtai raised his eyes, he saw the emaciated Archmage Doroji slowly walking out of the main room and into the courtyard.
Mang Gurtai has no covetousness for the position of the Great Khan, so Ping Su and the two national teachers, Archmage Dragg and Archmage Wumai, do not have much intersection, but they have a lot of respect for this white shaman Archmage Doroji who has no power to restrain chickens and has devoted his life to curing diseases and saving people, and when he suddenly appeared, he was very surprised, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, came to the front of Archmage Doroji, hugged his fists and said: "Archmage's words are serious, Mang Gurtai doesn't know that you are also here, see you in the future, please forgive me!"
Archmage Doroji smiled and said, "Sanbeile is polite! This time, the old man was about to go to Hetuala, passing through here, and when he was staying, he happened to meet Gao Jie's little friend, so they drank tea and chatted together. I wonder why Sanbel came here?"
Mang Gurtai looked at Gao Jie suspiciously, then at Archmage Doroji, and asked hesitantly: "I led people to perform official duties in Baitabao Town, and I arrested the Ming spies, and I happened to search this place!
Archmage Doroji smiled and said, "That's right, we talked and laughed together, I guess it's been more than an hour." If it weren't for the arrival of Sambel, I wouldn't have realized that the night was dark and it was time to rest!"
Gao Jie's question made Gao Jie extremely nervous, and Archmage Doroji's answer surprised him, and he couldn't understand why this old guy was talking nonsense with his eyes open, fooling Mang Gurtai and helping himself. I can't let go of all kinds of doubts, and I don't know whether to let go or continue to bring it up, and my heart is like fifteen buckets of water - seven up and eight down.
When Mang Gurtai heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Mang Gurtai is reckless, but he has disturbed the tea talk of the Grand Master and Gao Jie! Since this place is safe and sound, if you want to come to the Ming Dynasty, you will not come here, and I will lead my troops to patrol and search for it, so I will leave!"
Archmage Doroji said, "Sanbeile has worked hard!" Gao Jie hurriedly followed: "I wish Sanbeile all the best!"
After Mang Gurtai led his troops away, Wujiazhuang returned to quiet. Gao Jie stood in the courtyard in a daze, looking at Archmage Doroji with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say.
Archmage Doroji smiled strangely and said, "Do you doubt the purpose of the old man's this?!Actually, you think too much, I just regard you as a friend of the year, and trust you unconditionally, besides, there are still injured people in the house, so I don't want the soldiers to make noise and come to disturb me!"
Gao Jie blinked and said, "It's that simple?"
Archmage Doroji also blinked and said, "It's as simple as that!"
Gao Jie stared at Archmage Doroji with sincerity written on his face for a long time, and finally a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed to him and said, "Thank you Archmage for your help!"
Archmage Doroji said: "It's just a sentence, and it makes Xiaoyou thank you so much, isn't there something strange about the injury on your guy's body?"
Gao Jie was startled, looked at Master Doroji's face, and saw that he seemed to be smiling instead of smiling, full of banter, so he put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "It's indeed a little strange!"
Archmage Doroji let out an "oh" and asked curiously, "Would you like to hear about it!"
Gao Jie said solemnly: "Actually, he was not injured by falling off the horse, but because he couldn't play with the horse, he was kicked by the horse's hooves!"
When Master Doroji heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Little friend is such a wonderful person!
Gao Jie also smiled: "The archmage is also very interesting, it shouldn't be like my guy, he was kicked by a horse!"
Laughing non-stop, Master Doroji said goodbye to Gao Jie, and staggered back to his room to rest.
When Gao Jie returned to the main room, Luo Sigong said with a straight face: "This Archmage Duoluoji is not simple, I'm afraid that I have vaguely guessed something, don't be careless!"
Gao Jie said with a heavy heart: "I feel this way, but I really don't understand what his purpose is for doing this!"
Master Zongqing said: "Be at peace with what you encounter, be calm in your situation, there will always be a time when the water will come out!"
Luo Sigong nodded and said: "What the master said is good, we just need to act cautiously and not show flaws, then there is nothing to worry about! Everyone has dispersed, and we have to hurry tomorrow morning!"
At dawn on the second day, the big guys had a delicious breakfast made by Chef Wang Xi together, and then packed up and prepared to leave.
Gao Jie led the horse out of the stable, and when he came to the front yard, he saw Archmage Doroji leading a woman wearing a black veil towards him.
Gao Jie hurriedly hugged his fists and said hello, and Archmage Doroji replied: "Little friend got up really early, can you wait a while, let's go together!"
Yesterday, Doroji lent a helping hand, and Gao Jie naturally couldn't refuse, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, with the archmage by his side all the way, the kid will definitely gain a lot." You clean up slowly, boy, here you wait!"
Archmage Doroji said: "There is no need to pack up, we have very few things with us, we have already prepared, we just want to lead the horses." Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you to the old man's niece, named Mara! You talk first, I'll lead the horses!" With that, he walked to the backyard stable.
The veiled woman glanced at Gao Jie with big eyes like a soul, and then made a blessing, and said in a beautiful voice: "I have seen the high shopkeeper, the little woman Mara is polite!"
Gao Jie took a closer look, this woman had beautiful hair and clouds, she was quite tall, dressed in Han costumes, her body was graceful, and her skin was better than snow, although she couldn't see her appearance, but it could be confirmed from the beautiful eyes that appeared outside the veil that she was definitely a rare beauty. At this moment, she has a beautiful posture, twists her waist and is blessed, no matter what she moves, she is charming and graceful.
Li Jina and Zong Songgege, who have intersected with Gao Jie before, are both budding little girls, and the mature beauty full of temptation in front of him are completely two different feelings, Gao Jie couldn't help a heartbeat, and hurriedly replied: "Sister, don't be polite, it's a bad boy!"
The woman named Mara chuckled, stretched out her hand to stroke her hair, glanced at Gao Jie, and said, "You are so young, I call you the shopkeeper Gao and call you old! If you don't mind, I will call you Xiaojie's brother in the future, and you call me Mara's sister, how about it?"
Mara's voice was charming, like the first bird cry in the mountains and forests in the early morning, which was so smart and moving that Gao Jie was a little distracted for a while, and couldn't help but reply: "Okay, it's all up to my sister!"
When Mara heard this, she chuckled again: "I didn't expect that during the boring journey to Hetuala, I could meet such a handsome brother as you, which is really fun!"
Gao Jie's face flushed, and he whispered, "Me too!"
At this time, Archmage Doroji led the two horses to the front yard, and Gao Jie waited for the two of them to get on the horses before turning over and riding his own horse and leaving Wujiazhuang.
This goes to Shenyang, the road is not far, everyone is not in a hurry, walk slowly, near dusk, you have seen a huge city in the distance.
Shenyang is located in the south of Northeast China, mainly plains, mountains and hills are concentrated in the southeast, and the Liaohe River, Hunhe River and Xiushui River pass through the territory. Shenyang is a well-known historical and cultural city, and the Shenyang area contains the early culture of the Liaohe River Basin, and is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation.
It is said that more than 1,000 years ago, humans farmed, fished, hunted, and multiplied here, creating the "Shinraku Culture". During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was an important town of Yan State, in 221 BC, after Qin Shi Huang unified China, the world was divided into 36 counties, and Shenyang belonged to Liaodong County. During the Western Han Dynasty, Shenyang already had the outline of the city, called "Hou City", and in the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed "Shenzhou". In 921 A.D., Liao Taizu immigrated here, built the earthen city, and economic production was developed, and in the Jin and Yuan dynasties, Jin Taizu captured Shenzhou, and continued to use the name of "Shenzhou". In 1296, the Yuan Dynasty rebuilt Tucheng and changed Shenzhou to "Shenyang Road", which was under the jurisdiction of Liaoyang Province. Because Shenyang is located in the north of Shenshui (Hunhe River), based on the traditional Chinese orientation theory, that is, "the north of the mountain is yin, and the north of the water is yang", so Shenzhou was changed to Shenyang. Since then, the name "Shenyang" has officially appeared in historical materials. In 1386, the Ming Dynasty renamed "Shenyang Road" as "Shenyang Zhongwei".
Gao Jie, who came from later generations, clearly remembered that in a few years, Nurhachi would move the capital from Liaoyang to here, and Shenyang would become a famous "Shengjing".
At this time, the scale of Shenyang was not so large, but brick walls were also built, and a certain scale was formed, which was about the same as the area of Liaoyang City. It's just that there are only four city gates, not the nine city gates after becoming Shengjing.
Gao Jie had a handwritten letter from the Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom, and everyone successfully passed the guard check and entered the south gate. Archmage Doroji is very famous in Liaodong, how dare the Jurchen officers and soldiers who defend the city dare to check it, and respectfully let this archmage and Mara go.
The people in Shenyang are prosperous, it seems that the Jurchens and the Han people get along quite harmoniously, and all kinds of shops, inns, taverns and green buildings are lined up one after another, and it is a lively and prosperous scene. It can be seen that under the rule of the Jurchens, the common people also lived a well-fed life, which was in stark contrast to the decay and desperation in many towns and cities in the Central Plains.
Under the guidance of the two brothers, Wang Xi and Wang Rui, Gao Jie and others found a rather high-end Shengshi Inn and prepared to stay.
Gao Jie and the others entered the inn one after another, while Archmage Doroji and Mara were still standing at the door with their horses, seemingly hesitating.
Along the way, Archmage Doroji didn't talk much, and there was no movement, which made Gao Jie gradually relax. Although Mara is dressed in Hanfu, she is actually Mongolian, with a lively and generous personality, which is completely different from the reserved and introverted women of the Central Plains, revealing a different kind of exotic style, sometimes riding a horse and laughing, sometimes singing loudly, and everyone involuntarily has a good impression of her. And she seemed to be particularly interested in Gao Jie, and often teased him, until the first brother's face turned red, and then she giggled and rode away. Gao Jie is the opponent of this mature woman, he is always embarrassed and at a loss, and his heart beats, but he doesn't hate this feeling, and he feels that his relationship with Mara is a lot closer, and it is really a bit of a sister and brother intimacy.
After Gao Jie stepped into the inn, he turned around and found that Archmage Doroji and Mara were strange, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "Archmage, Sister Mara, why don't you go in?"
Mara rarely drooped her head and didn't say a word. Archmage Doroji smiled and said: "Although I am a little famous white shaman, but I usually treat people and heal their wounds, at most I charge some money for medicine, and the money bag is really a little cold, such a luxurious inn, our uncle and nephew can't afford to live, it seems that we will live separately for the time being." ”
In other words, yesterday, when he heard that this mysterious old man was leaving, Gao Jie was too late to be happy, but after the company of this way, with the change of perception, he no longer rejected this old man so much, not to mention that there was Mara standing next to him, so Gao Jie patted his chest and said loudly: "You are a grand mage, how can you be trapped by money?!" With me, the shopkeeper of Pang Ji Firm, you don't have to worry about the cost of food and accommodation, come, follow me in!"
Archmage Doroji smiled and said, "I know you are a rich man, isn't this just waiting for your words?!"
When Mara heard this, she chuckled and said, "Brother Gao Jie, you have fallen for your uncle!"
Gao Jie laughed and said, "For the sake of the archmage, for the sake of Sister Mara, I am also willing!"
After that, he beckoned the inn's junior to lead the two of them to the stable, and then pulled Archmage Doroji, beckoned Mara, and entered the inn.
As soon as everyone settled down, Luo Sigong and his fellow Venerable Zongqing came to Gao Jie's room and whispered to him, "Let's hurry up and eat, the Mongols will meet us in a while!"
Gao Jie said: "Shaerhu Lama also lives here?"
Luo Sigong nodded and said, "Yes, this is what we have agreed on a long time ago." When I came in just now, I saw their mark, and I'm sure they knew we had arrived, and would come after dark to discuss our way to Hetuala!"
Thinking that he would soon reach his final destination, and that an unpredictable battle for Kangyur was about to take place, Gao Jie couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
