Through the years of Liang Zhu

In fact, I also know that Ma didn't expose me because of his kindness. My name as the third-rank general conquering captives is just a sign, and I don't have much actual power except for the light cavalry battalion I can lead. How could it compare to the real power and prestige of Ma Cai, who was appreciated and promoted by Huan Wen, and who was personally brought by his side.

They sent someone to deliver a letter from home, and led the army out of Luoyang City. The following days can be said to be smooth sailing.Huanwen led the army all the way north to the Yellow River and approached Fangtou. Yecheng, the capital of Yan, was threatened. Therefore, the Yan army originally stationed in Henan had been forced to retreat back to defend.Therefore, in the past few days, our army on the West Road has only used the Qingqi Battalion to open the way, and we have easily taken down several cities that were originally occupied by the Yan army. too right.

Ma Cai is very busy, so busy that he has no time to talk, but I am very free.Just because when I came back from patrolling the camp last night, when I took off my armor in the military tent and put on the skirts of my usual robes, I was discovered by the horse that I had really lost a lot of weight. It was very loose, so from then on, he never let me meddle in these trivial matters in the camp, although I thought it was normal for me to lose a few pounds during the march and war.

Therefore, Ma Cai blocked my daily chores in such a 'dominant' way, and usually only allowed me to practice calligraphy and read books in the tent, and kicked Ma Tong into my tent to eat delicious food Waiting, nervous all day long, not listening to what to say, thinking about it for fear of tiring me.It made me really speechless, I am a third-rank general, do you need to raise me like a daughter-in-law all day long?But fortunately, because everything went well, the march reached Fangtou early in less than a month, and the [-] troops camped [-] miles away from Fangtou, standing still, waiting for the arrival of Huanwen's army from the East Road.

"Ma Tong! Have you got the marching map I asked you to get?" In the big camp of the former army, I put down the military book in my hand and asked Ma Tong, who was dozing off beside me.

"General Wang, I brought it a long time ago, and I'll bring it to you, the younger one." Ma Tong got up in a jerk and said hastily.

"Little Ma Tong, I have told you so many times, don't be so unfamiliar, just call me Prince Wang." Seeing his nervous look, I comforted him, how did Ma Cai abuse Ma Tong? As for being so scared?

"Hey, Prince, Ma Tong has remembered." Ma Tong took the marching map, hung it in front of the camp tent on the bed, and smiled at me.

I got out of bed and glanced at the map, and I asked casually, "Little Ma Tong, do you think your son has been a little nervous recently? I can tell from this month's march, he really wants to be a little impatient .”

"My son is being valued by General Huan now, of course we have to work harder, otherwise he will be kicked out when he goes to Kuaiji in the future." Ma Tong pouted and curled his lips a little dissatisfied.

Startled in my heart, I suddenly remembered that I didn't even know where Ma Cai was going a few months ago, "Ma Tong, I heard... After I left Nishan Academy, Ma Cai also returned home. Kuaiji came to me... Forget it, let’s not talk about this. I want to know why Ma Cai abandoned me on the road on the day we first met after leaving the academy?” I have never asked Ma Cai about this matter. , I forgot at first, but now I was curious, but I remembered it again.

Ma Tong has a straightforward personality, and when I asked about this, he began to chatter: "My lord, you don't know, since you opened the academy, you want to be a different person, and you are depressed all day long. Temper is sometimes irritable, sometimes quiet, and he often stays in a daze in the back mangosteen forest after class, making it impossible for people to figure it out. Then after a few days, the young master suddenly said that he was going to suspend school and go home. I wondered at the time, why did the young master have to go home after failing in his studies, but fortunately, as soon as the young master returned home, he was named a Shangshu Caolang by the court, and he had military power, and he was ordered to hand over the thieves..."

Ma Tong's long-windedness is really a bit similar to Ganoderma lucidum. I just listened quietly without interrupting him. After a lot of long-winded Ma Tong finally brought the matter to the point: "Young master has made meritorious deeds for being a thief. The emperor rewarded him with a decree and gave him a good compliment. The master was very happy, and accidentally mentioned the prince's recent situation. The prince thought about it for a while, as if he had just discovered that Hangzhou is actually very close to Kuaiji, and he dressed up in full of joy. Fan, with a lot of presents, I wanted to go to Kuaiji to visit you secretly, but I didn’t expect to meet Mr. Xie and the second son of the Wang family before I arrived in Shan County. Mr. Wang, your second brother is really unreasonable, my son After he went up to say hello very politely, he scolded him head and face and said so many ugly things. My son had a good temper that day, so he didn't conflict with him for your sake. If it were someone else, I would have taught him a lesson long ago!"

Ma Tong continued angrily: "My young master is very kind to persuade you, but he just wants to see you, but your second brother, Wang, stopped talking nonsense, so he sent someone to drive me and young master out, and said If we step into Shan County one more step, we will make the Ma family look good, and say... and say that Mr. Wang, no, it is Miss Wang, who is already engaged to Xie's family. Prime Minister Xie and Wang Youjun personally officiated the marriage. When the family gets married again, let my son give up those unrealistic ideas as soon as possible."

"And then? What happened next?" Seeing Ma Tong suddenly stop, I hurriedly asked. I was startled, and I knew from my imagination that Ma Cai must have been in a bitter mood at that time.

"Of course the young master didn't believe Miss Wang that you would be so heartless, so he asked the second young master to let my young master meet you and ask him a question. Of course, the second young master refused to let him, so he was beaten up and kicked out of Shan County. But the young master is not discouraged, because he always believes that you will go to the Hangzhou prefect's mansion to find him before the fifth day of July and give him an explanation, but the young master has waited for many days and still does not see you. It was raining lightly in Hangzhou, and the young master cried and knelt in the rain for a whole day." Ma Tong said, his eyes began to turn red, "I know that the young master wanted to snatch the marriage, but he couldn't. Compared with Xie's family, the Ma family's The strength is too weak."

I was already shocked when I heard this, I thought that this matter would not reach Ma Cai's ears, besides, I had already run out of the palace on the fifth day of July and was already on my way to Luoyang.No wonder Ma Cai didn't want to talk to me that day, I wanted to slap myself, if this happened to me, I would be so sad, thinking about it, I couldn't help but pick up my heart, what kind of heart should Ma Cai have at that time Hurt and hopeless.

"After that day, the young master developed a high fever. It happened that General Huan Wen summoned him at this time, and the young master forced himself to meet General Huan. After staying in the general's mansion for a few days, General Huan asked the imperial decree to seal the young master as fourth." As a guerrilla general, keep the young master by your side for reuse."

"However, there was no wedding at all on the fifth day of the seventh lunar month in Kuaiji. Don't you know that the wedding was cancelled? I would have already run away by then." I took a deep breath and said, pulling myself together.

"At that time, my heart was already in a mess. As long as I remembered that you married someone else, my heart would be filled with hatred and despair." Ma Cai's hoarse voice suddenly came from behind me, and I hurriedly turned around to find that he was dressed in black. In the silver armor, there was a trace of grief spreading in his eyes.

"So I have been asking General Huan to go to the front to kill the enemy. The first thought in my heart is that I want to make meritorious service, become a strong man, and have a higher status than the Xie family. Let your second brother see , in fact, I am better than Xie Xuan, I want him to regret it, and you... regret it too. When I didn't see you, I was actually resentful in my heart. I thought you had become Xie Xuan's wife. If this To meet again in this life, I must make you pay for your decision! But when I saw you that day, I didn’t have the courage to speak again.” Ma Cai came over and hugged me who was a little dazed, his eyes were red Then he said, "Later, I inadvertently learned that on the fifth day of July, no one from the Wang and Xie families had ever married, so I suddenly woke up. Ah Yun, do you know? How happy I was when I had the opportunity. At that time, I swore in my heart over and over again that I, Ma Cai, would definitely marry Ah Yun in my life! After receiving the distress letter from my eldest brother, I begged General Huan to send troops to rescue Luoyang City...Unfortunately, Big Brother is still..."

"Ayun, I was wrong, I will never mistrust you again." Ma Cai looked at me with red eyes and said solemnly.

When I mentioned my eldest brother again, I couldn’t help but feel sad. It turned out that those few days were no better than me. I smiled helplessly, but I couldn’t help but hugged him tightly: “Obviously even Xie Xuan thought that I would How could you not think of someone who escaped from marriage."

"My lord, his brain became dull as soon as he met Miss Wang." Ma Tongtong said with a serious face.

I was stunned again, I just wanted to ask Ma Tong if it was true, but I didn't expect him to come up with a domineering kiss, I didn't expect him to guard Ma Tong's face, just like this, my face turned red , but did not push him away.

"Don't ask Xie Xuan in front of me again!" Ma Cai's complexion changed, his eyes raised, his eyebrows raised, and he pretended to be a little angry and said to me, "Otherwise next time, it won't be as simple as kissing. "

I couldn't help but turn dark, this guy Ma Cai became frightened of me as soon as he gained power!Getting arrogant again! "Ma Cai, your skin is getting thicker and thicker! Who said that you would compare yourself to Liu Xiahui and not touch me?"

"I didn't move my hands or feet, I just moved my mouth." Ma Cai pretended to be aggrieved, which almost made me want to slap him.

"Just move your mouth?" I couldn't help raising my eyebrows and asked again.

"Ah? Otherwise, Ah Yun, you still want me to make a move?" Ma Cai suddenly looked at me with a smirk, and leaned forward again while talking.

I couldn't help being startled, shouldn't this guy say that although he is not as good as Liu Xiahui, he also claims to be a gentleman?When did you become a rascal!

"Hey, young master, if Miss Rou finds out about your appearance, she will definitely be surprised." Ma Tong, who was at the side, approached him untimely and said with a smile.

"Miss Rou?" I obviously felt Ma Cai's body startled suddenly, I squinted my eyes and repeated with a gentle smile.

"Ayun, Ayun, please don't look at me like that, I don't know any girl Rou." Ma Cai hurriedly let go of my hand, and took two steps back to argue.

"Hey? Young master, didn't you say in the general's mansion that day that Miss Rou's winking eyes are ashamed, and her lips are smiling?" Ma Tong scratched his head and asked in doubt.

"Ma Tong, shut up!"

"Okay, Ma Cai! I really can't tell!" It's been a few days since I haven't seen him, so he went out to flirt with me.

"A Yun! Don't listen to Ma Tong's nonsense, I really don't know that soft girl well."

"Didn't you just say you didn't know each other?"

"Hey, Ah Yun, don't go, listen to my explanation!"

"Since you are not familiar with it, why explain?"

"A Yun!"
