The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World
Chapter 7 Linjiawu
() Seeing Ma Chao blocking his way, as if he wanted to keep him, Guo Sihuai was unmoved and just looked at Ma Teng: "Sima, you should also know my usefulness, if I can't leave your mansion before dawn , I'm afraid I'll tell the boss to think that you are all insincere, and then the Lin family daughter will... I think Sima won't make a small mistake and kill herself to keep me?"
Although Ma Teng was upset, he still nodded: "Chaoer, let him go!"
Now that his father said so, Ma Chao couldn't insist on his own opinion, and resentfully moved out of the way, but his eyes were still fixed on the other party, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.Guo Sihuai didn't take it to heart at all, he just waved his hand and left casually.
"Father..." Seeing him leave, Ma Chaocai wanted to say something unwillingly, but Ma Teng stopped him with words: "Xiaokang, is there any meaning in what you said just now?" He was still thinking about it. The performance of the second son.
Ma Yue nodded: "Yes. Looking at the situation, these horse thieves are determined to take advantage of this incident. If my father refuses, I'm afraid they will really be detrimental to my sister-in-law. But when I say this, there are two layers Intention. One is to stabilize them first, as a way to delay the attack; the other is to find out where their lair is. Father, you can send someone to follow this person now. I think there should be many of them in the city. As long as you follow them, you can find the thief!"
After listening to his son's analysis, Ma Teng nodded in agreement: "Yes, you are really calm, and you can find a countermeasure from this unfavorable situation. As for sending someone to follow him, someone has already done it. Although Ma Teng It’s not high, but you can’t be completely led by such a thief!”
Only then did Ma Yue realize that his knowledge was no better than that of his experienced father, so he nodded in agreement.But Ma Teng immediately said doubtfully: "Since it is a plan to slow down the army, why do you still have to bargain with others?"
"Of course this is to make him believe in our sincerity more." Ma Yue replied: "Only those who want to make a deal will bargain with others. Now I ask him to lower the number of weapons he needs. It can give him the illusion that his father really intends to use weapons and armor to replace people. I just hope that this will not cause trouble to my father."
"Okay, it's a kind of growth for my son to come up with this countermeasure. This level, even as a father, has never thought of it. It is indeed a wonderful way to deal with them." Ma Teng praised, and then looked at Ma Chao : "You must learn from Xiaokang in the future, and you must not be so reckless. If you go to the battlefield in the future, you will lose more than your own life if you are reckless."
"...Yes, my son made it down!" Ma Chao hurriedly nodded in response, but it's hard to say whether he accepts it humbly in his heart.
"Father, my son thought that since they had contact with me, we could go and meet the Lin family." Ma Yue then said suddenly.
"Oh? Why is that?" Ma Teng asked casually.
Ma Yue immediately said something, which made Ma Teng dare not underestimate his son's knowledge.After pondering for a while, he nodded and said: "You are right, this is indeed a good time for Lin Jiaken to cooperate with me, and we still have five days to do this, I will go there tomorrow morning Gu Zang, meet the Lin family for a while."
"Father, I will go with you." Ma Yue said immediately.
"I'll go too." Ma Chao also said, "All these things are caused by the child, and there is absolutely no reason why the child should not work hard."
Looking at the two sons, Ma Teng felt relieved, knowing that the two sons had really grown up after this incident.After some weighing, he nodded: "That's okay, I should take you to see the father, and we will set off at Maoshi tomorrow!"
After saying this, it was past three o'clock, and the father and son went back to rest. Tomorrow they will embark on a new journey.
?????
Early the next morning, the three father and son were ready to go.In addition to the three of them, there are more than a dozen family members, each armed with a weapon, accompanying them.Although Mrs. Ma's family was very worried about the fact that the second son had just recovered and had to leave home, she still had no right to object in this era where the husband was the king.
After seeing his father, Ma Yue thought about what happened last night, and said with concern: "Father, do you know the whereabouts of the horse thief?"
Ma Teng smiled wryly and shook his head: "The other party is very smart. The person I sent to follow was quickly thrown away by him, so I don't know his exact whereabouts. But judging from his familiarity with the streets in this city, they are in Longchamp. The county should have a lot of eyeliners."
When Ma Yue heard this, he frowned, and at the same time, he had an idea in his heart. Depending on the situation, these horse thieves had a lot of influence in Longxian County. This might also be an important clue.However, he didn't bring it up at this time. The most urgent task now is to go to Lin's house first, and pass the test before him.
Although the injury on his body has not healed, Ma Yue still decided to take this trip, which is a great opportunity to gain insight.
After saying goodbye to his family, Ma Yue and his father and brother embarked on his first long journey since he came to this era.Compared with traveling in the previous life, going out in this era is much more strenuous. Although they don't have to travel on foot like ordinary people, it is by no means an easy task to ride on bumpy horseback.Fortunately, the original owner of this body was born in the general family. Although his body is not strong, he can ride a horse, so he gritted his teeth and survived.
Because there is quite a distance between the two places, there was no rest along the way. After more than a day, we finally arrived at the boundary of Guzang.But to Ma Yue's surprise, they did not go to Guzang County, but turned to a valley east of the city.
The question in Ma Yue's heart finally had an answer when he saw the continuous buildings built against the mountain.Ma Teng also took a deep breath and said, "This is Linjiawu!"
It turns out that since the Han Dynasty, local tyrants have had a lot of room for development.Many of them connected with their relatives and villages, and built docks one after another in the local area to protect themselves and live.Whether it is economic or military strength, these Wubao are as powerful as a small county town, so this can be regarded as a country within a country.
And the Linjiawu in front of them, although it is not as large as some other powerful and powerful Wubao in the world, it can be regarded as a local tycoon.After all, the Lin family no longer has any high-ranking officials in the court, and the only thing they can rely on is the precipitation of the past century and some relationships with the dignitaries in the court.The three of Ma Teng and his son led the people straight to the towering wall of the dock, but were stopped by the guards inside: "Who is coming, what are you doing here at Linjiawu?"
Ma Teng replied loudly: "We are members of the Ma family from Longxi, and we want to discuss important matters with your master!"
The people in the castle were startled for a moment, and then said: "You wait for a while, we will go and report."
After waiting for a long time, the closed door was pulled up from the inside, and then a man in a loose robe came out to greet the guests: "It turned out that Ma Sima came, and he forgot to forgive his sins if he was far away! "Although he said polite words of apology, there was no trace of apology on his face, but a condescending attitude.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Ma Teng felt a little angry.It's just that I have something to ask for when I came here today, so I deliberately suppressed my anger, and said with a smile: "Ma Teng came suddenly, I should be ashamed."
Seeing that Ma Teng was so humble, the man couldn't put on a domineering look anymore. After smiling, he led them inward.Ma Yue followed behind and looked around the situation of this Linjiawu. He saw that the layout here was not much different from that of Long County. The only difference was that there seemed to be more people than Long County, because he saw the road. There are many rough cloth people on both sides who are observing these uninvited guests.Of course, this may also be because the Wubao occupies a relatively small area, which gave him the illusion that the population is larger than the majestic Xiliang Prefecture.
"This Wubao seems to be an organization completely outside the government, and this will definitely make the court dissatisfied. If there is no proper excuse, the court will not dare to do anything to them, but if there is Given the right opportunity, I think the imperial court will not let go of the opportunity to weaken or annex these giants. This time our method should hit the other party's weakness!" After seeing the situation here, Ma Yue already had an idea in his heart Care about, more sure about your own strategy.
On the other side, Ma Chao thought differently. Seeing that the guy who was obviously just a servant of the Lin family treated his father like this, his anger also came up in his heart.If Ma Yue hadn't reminded him several times along the way, saying that the trip to Linjiawu was related to his father's future, I'm afraid he would have done something just now.
The three of them walked all the way with various thoughts, and after a long while, they finally came to a very magnificent courtyard, and the man stopped and said, "Wait for a while, I will report to the master right away." Wait for them to reply, then go in the door.
"This is too rude, and we are still asked to wait here..." Ma Chao said angrily.This time, even Ma Teng's face became ugly. At that time, he could bear them to make him wait outside Wubao, but the other party dared to do this when everyone was brought in. This is really too deceitful.
Ma Yue saw the appearance of his father and brother, so he quickly whispered: "Father, this is what they did on purpose, just to show us off. In fact, judging from these performances, they clearly have no idea in their hearts, so they did it Use this kind of behavior that is almost disrespectful to test or stimulate us. So we don't have to worry too much at all."
Seeing that his son was so knowledgeable and hit the point with his words, Ma Teng was overjoyed, and his original unhappiness dissipated a lot: "What Yueer said is that this superficial conflict of emotions is It’s nothing at all. The more they do this, the more they show that they have no idea, and it seems that we are right this time.”
While talking, the family members who went in to report finally turned around again, and said to them with a smile: "The three please come in."
Ma Teng smiled and nodded: "Thank you." Then he stepped in with his head held high, and the Ma brothers followed behind, but they were no longer as polite to him as before.They can ignore each other's rudeness, but it doesn't mean that they will always be patient, so this time, the manager of the Lin family who came out to welcome the guests can only follow by and really do his duty.
That man is also a smart man. After seeing the actions of the Ma family and his son, he understood the hidden meaning.He didn't express too much, he just did enough to lead the way and led them to a bright hall.
"The three of you, please sit down for a while. The master is involved in mundane affairs in the castle, so he won't be able to see you until later." After the three of them settled down, the man said apologetically.
"It's okay, we have plenty of time to wait." Ma Teng had previous experience, but this time he calmly learned the other party's behavior style.
After the people retreated, Ma Yue leaned in front of his father and whispered a few words.Ma Teng was startled for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "I will do as you wish!" As he spoke, a cold light flashed in his tiger eyes.
