Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 158 Subdue Yang Qiu
Ma Yunluan felt like a dream.

You know, since his first battle, his brother Ma Chao has always regarded himself as an adult who has been on the battlefield, and he always puts up a show in front of her.

He's obviously just a little older than Jack Ma
But now, the brown-haired girl was among the galloping knights, and she still had the energy to look around.

The Liangzhou horses produced in Wushi County galloped hard with their four long legs, leaving the whistling west wind, the desolate sunset and the sound of the flute far behind them. Nothing could catch up with them. .

People who have never experienced war will always have unrealistic fantasies about war. Obviously Ma Yunluo is this kind of person. The difference is that Xu Jiashu's action satisfied her fantasies.

Now no matter how much Ma Chao shows off, she won't be envious - I'm also on the battlefield, and it's the kind of long-distance running day and night!
At the front of these five hundred knights is Xu Jiashu. He is not only the commander, but also responsible for guiding everyone.

He adopted Gan Ning's favorite elite beheading tactic. Five hundred elite knights, one man and two horses, brought enough supplies and rushed directly to Linjing County, Yang Qiu's hometown.

The so-called military strength and speed are also conditional and very harsh.

Without extremely accurate intelligence, this behavior is akin to a desperate move, which is actually very dangerous.

But Xu Jiashu doesn't lack "extremely accurate information" - Yang Qiu has already set off eastward with a few parts, which is unmistakable, and Xu Jiashu has been an envoy in Yang Qiu's territory for a period of time. The situation in Linjing County is also well understood.

Therefore, as long as they pursue each other along the road to Guanzhong, there is a high probability that Yang Qiu will be caught.

From the perspective of Ma Yunluo who is in it, it is a closed environment, a romantic expedition and a confident leader!
Any man with these blessings will be handsome by several levels, not to mention that Xu Jiashu's conditions are first-rate.

Even Miss Lu, who was accustomed to military life, would look at his back in confusion from time to time.

This makes Ma Yunluo, who admires Lu Lingqi, very confused.
"It's over, it's over, I like Sister Lu." The brown-haired girl covered her head and thought in her heart that only she could hear, "Sister Lu likes Xu Zimao, but the person Xu Zimao has a crush on is me!"

Being secretly in love with a man who is your idol will give you a sense of accomplishment, but more importantly.
This is how to do?
Never experienced this at all!
For the first time, the girl saw how complicated relationships are in the adult world - is this the legendary triangle?
Her face was red and hot, and she felt distressed and sweet at the same time.

Is this what adults play with? It’s so exciting!
So as the top of the food chain, Ma Yunluan naturally has to put on some airs.

This is a very common phenomenon: for the first time, a young girl is testing her position and power in the relationship between the sexes.

Generally speaking, at this time, there will be a boy of the same age who is also in love but has nothing but passion as her test target.

Bad news, Ma Yunluan’s test subject is Xu Jiashu.

The worse news is that his guilt towards Ma Yunluo is slowly dissipating as his personality becomes more stable.

So our horse girl soon discovers that the sweet first love she imagined on a romantic expedition didn't happen, or could ever happen.

"Miss Ma, take people to guard the surrounding areas," Xu Jiashu told her when they were stationed at the river to feed the horses. "The sentries are ready and waiting for you."

Ma Yunluo was stunned for a moment, pointed at himself and confirmed: "Me?"

It's not that she's timid, it's just that in the story, there's no way in the story that the girl she likes leads the troops to serve as sentry!Not romantic at all!
If she wants to go, she thinks unreasonably, she should ride the same horse with you, right?
?

Seeing Ma Yunluan's hesitant look, Xu Jiashu frowned slightly, showing his composure without getting angry.

With so much [commanding experience], he has developed his own rules and regulations in running the army, among which orders and prohibitions are the most important. Even Gan Xingba and Miss Lu will not behave like this when accepting orders.

"Since you are here, you must obey the military order." Lu Lingqi quickly smoothed things over and took the girl out, so that the atmosphere did not completely freeze.

"Damn Xu Zimao, stinky Xu Zimao!"

Ma Yunluo cursed and kicked an unknown object away with her foot. The special feeling of her foot made her recover from her dissatisfaction.

When I looked down at my feet, I saw cow and horse dung that could be seen everywhere along the river.

And that kind of foot feeling is the legendary flying feeling.

This kick brought her back to reality from the dreamy expedition.

It's all fake, whether it's running or secret love
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu", thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but feel sad. She squatted by the river and wiped her tears quietly. A knight who was attracted by this voice came over and saw that he was the guest of Young Master Xu Lang. He quickly pretended not to see anything and left.

It was not until the small report reached Xu Jiashu himself that the army general arrived belatedly.

Cried?

And it was because he kicked the cow dung away?

Ah this
Xu Jiashu was speechless when he heard the news, but after seeing Ma Yunluan squatting by the river, he felt funny again.

"Pfft", he couldn't hold it back, he coughed twice quickly and threw over a pair of new shoes, "Put them on, we have to go on the road."

Is this gone?

Ma Yunluan raised his head and saw Xu Zimao holding back a smile, like a little girl who had cried for a long time but didn't get candy, and felt even more aggrieved.

Shouldn't I be coaxed?
"Wooooooooow—"

What a secret love, never want to be secretly loved again!
The girl simply opened her mouth and cried so loudly that her voice could be heard for miles.
Hearing this movement, Xu Jiashu covered his ears - now the general's majesty could no longer be maintained.

He didn't mind the cow dung that was starting to dry next to the girl, so he knelt down and looked at her carefully.Her brown hair tied into a ponytail shimmered golden in the sun, and her chiseled face was full of pear blossoms, and even the tears were about to crust.
Considering that Ma Yunluo's age is what high school girls will look like in the future, it can probably be called "About the Time I Made the Mixed-race School Belle Cry"?
Not only did Xu Jiashu not mean to comfort her, but instead he said, "Are you really crying?"

Complete the lore!

Xu Zimao's image has undergone several changes in Ma Yunluan's mind.

From a powerful Qiang man, he became his brother's powerful friend, then he became a shy boy who had a crush on him but was embarrassed to say it, then he became a charming military leader, and finally he became an annoying... Guy.

The impression is so bad, just like a certain A, it has reached rock bottom, and no matter how you go, it will always be upward.

It didn't take long for Xu Jiashu's impression to change again.

The reason is simple, they have caught up with Yang Qiu.

When this person really appeared in the history books, it was already in the 16th year of Jian'an (211), and he made his debut in the form of a group called the "Ten Divisions of Guanzhong" or "The Friends of Ma Chao and Han Sui".

At that time, Guanzhong was in dilapidated state after the Li Guo Rebellion. It was eaten by the Xiliang warlords and occupied Anding County, which was adjacent to Guanzhong. The otaku Yang Qiu naturally got a big piece of cake.

But in this plane, he doesn't have such good luck.

Just by looking at him from a distance, Xu Jiashu recognized the homeboy and waved his hand to give the order to charge.

Yang Qiu said that he was going to conspire for a big thing, but in fact he made up his mind to deal with it. He didn't bring many troops at all. Most of them stayed in their lair to preserve their strength, so the elite knights here charged and surrendered neatly.

At first, he was puzzled. Under his own governance, the southeastern part of Anding County would not be able to live and work in peace and contentment, nor would there be so many horse thieves on the road.

But as the whole group of people was revealed, and with just a brief glance, Yang Qiu was able to conclude that these were definitely not horse thieves - if there were such elite horse thieves in his own territory, how could it be his turn to be the boss?

This is a group of powerful dragons crossing the river!
"My lord, when they ask about it later, just say I am Yang Qiu!"

Kong Gui gritted his teeth and said this.

After all, my lord holds half of the county's territory. He will give the other party whatever he wants. There will always be discussions. There is absolutely no reason to throw away his life like this, so this is a risk-free show!

From now on, Kong Gui and Yang Qiu will be friends for a lifetime. Let alone a favorite, he will be an important minister!
Hearing this, Yang Zhainan shed a few drops of heroic tears. He held hands with Kong Gui and looked at each other with tears in his eyes. He was speechless and choked.
"It's a pity that my brother Ke Muzhi is not here," Kong Gui sighed softly, "otherwise we would have kept our lord safe!"

"Oh," when talking about this, Yang Qiu also regretted it, "I didn't know that Ke Muzhi was so brave at the beginning. From what you said, this person is enough to run rampant in Xiliang. It's a pity that Ma Teng took a fancy to him and couldn't use it for me! "

Xu Jiashu had long seen these two people whispering among the prisoners, so he strode over.

"What are you guys talking about?"

He pulled up the two people who were mumbling.

"You are Ke Muzhi!" Kong Gui was overjoyed, "Why are you here!"

Of course I have to show up here, otherwise who caught you two?
However, Xu Jiashu did not say such words that hurt everyone's brotherhood. He cleared his throat and told Yang Qiu in a tone that you have won a prize, but the place of receiving the prize is in Myanmar, "Brother Yang Qiu does not need to go to Chang'an, Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to Let you be the magistrate of Linjing County."

Yang Qiu and Kong Gui looked at each other.

"what?"

After spending some time explaining, these two guys squatting in Linjing County and not caring about worldly things finally understood what happened.

There seemed to be only two options before them: death, or peace of mind as a county magistrate.

Of course, these are just Yang Qiu's own thoughts, and Xu Jiashu has no intention of killing him.

One reason is that the Yang family has deep roots in the southeastern area of ​​Anding County. More importantly, Yang Qiu actually played an objective role in protecting the environment and the people there.

There is a reason why he was named Linjing Marquis by Cao Wei. At least he was a very suitable magistrate for Linjing County.

Liangzhou is so dilapidated, so a small warlord like this who has the ability and willingness to improve people's livelihood must naturally be given a chance.

"I thought Xu Zimao would kill Yang Qiu," Ma Yunluo said privately to Lu Lingqi with some confusion. "Because of him, hundreds of us traveled day and night for several days. I have no grievances with him. I hate you so much that I can gnash my teeth with hatred."

"No." Miss Lu raised her head on the horse, looked at the back of Xu Jiashu in front of her with her beautiful eyes, and said confidently, "Zimao has never been a person who kills recklessly."

Even the traitor Meng Da died under the canonical punishment due to conclusive evidence.

"Oh," Ma Yunluo responded, but he still looked a little unconvinced, "But this man clearly doesn't have any scholarly demeanor!"

Thinking of the sentence "You really cried", the girl was still so angry that she felt tight in her chest.

"I don't know what happened to you two"

As she said this, Miss Lu glanced at her sideways, "But Zi Mao said that people's hearts are revealed over time. If you have any opinion about him, you might as well stay in Wushi County for a while and see around."
