The last three kingdoms

Chapter 337 Visiting the door
Although he had already seen the majesty and majesty of Majiawubao from the outside, Liu Yin couldn't help but secretly marvel when he stepped inside Wubao.Inside Majiawu Fort, all the houses are connected, and they are all made of stone. The long and narrow stone path is winding and extending in all directions. If you walk into the lane, if you don't have someone to guide you, you will soon get lost.

Liu Yin understands that although such a narrow layout of streets and alleys is not conducive to traffic, it seems to be more suitable for defense. Even if the enemy breaks through the fort wall and enters the interior of Wubao, the private soldiers guarding Wubao It is still possible to carry out defensive operations through the streets and alleys. Such narrow streets are not conducive to the deployment of large troops at all, and the enemy who enters the dock will always face attacks from all directions from hiding places, unless the entire dock is destroyed. All were dismantled, otherwise no one would be able to completely capture this place.

In the center of the Wubao is a tall watchtower. When you climb up the watchtower, you can have a panoramic view of the whole Wubao. It is multi-layered, and it can be called the most perfect fortification.

The Guanlong area is often invaded and harassed by Hu Yi, and each noble family owns a large number of fields outside the city. It seems unrealistic to move all the tenants and soldiers into the city, so the wealthy noble families spared no effort. The Wubao was built to protect the family's property and population from loss, and the size of the Wubao is the best embodiment of the strength of a noble family. A large Wubao like Majiawubao is located in the Longyou area. It is also extremely rare. Its strength has surpassed that of the county seat, showing the strong strength of the Ma family in Longyou.

Walking in such a narrow, long and deep alleyway gives people a feeling of oppression, embarrassment and crisis, and makes people suspect that a feathered arrow will fly out of nowhere or a spear will stab out.

Xue Wu's expression was cold, she unconsciously pressed her right hand on the hilt of the sword, and said to Liu Yin in a low voice: "General, this castle is full of strange things, we have too few people with us, if the other party has an ambush, we will soon It's hard to get out."

Liu Yin was quite calm, smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, we have no malicious intentions, and I believe that the Ma family will not regard us as enemies."

The function of this tortoise-like fortress is to defend, which also shows that its owner does not seek to make progress, but only seeks self-protection. If he leads troops to invade at this moment, maybe the Ma family will be full of hostility, but at this moment, he will come to visit Well, there is a saying that if you stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling face, the Ma family will naturally not feel hostile.What's more, after the Shu army took over Longyou, they didn't take any drastic measures against the noble families including the Ma family. The current relationship between the two parties seems to be in a delicate balance.

"My lords, please." The steward who led the way led Liu Yin and others into a house, respectfully and politely.

Liu Yin left the guards outside the door, and entered the room alone with Xue Wu, Chen Shou, and He Pan.

From the outside, the houses in Wubao seem to be the same, rough and simple, but when you enter the house, you immediately feel a big mistake. The space in this house is huge, spacious and bright, and the sunlight from the top Slanting in, there is no such dark and cramped feeling at all, and the furnishings in the house are extremely luxurious, showing the owner's wealth and taste.

The back alleys and rich houses really bring people infinite visual impact.Inside the mansion, a white-haired old man dressed in fine clothes and light fur stood with a smile. He must be the current head of the Ma family, Mr. Ma Jingma.

Liu Yin took a step forward, smiled and cupped his hands and said: "I will come here today, and I will take the liberty of visiting, and I hope that Mr. Ma will be more merciful to me if I am rude."

Mr. Ma returned the salute, and said with a slight smile: "The general of Zhenbei does not think that the humble house is despicable, condescends to use it in vain, and makes the humble house shine like a wall. Why do you dare to say that, the general is very polite."

Liu Yin said politely: "My mother is also a member of the Ma family. According to her seniority, she should be the nephew of Mr. Ma. Yin must call you uncle."

There was a strange look in Mr. Ma's eyes, but it was fleeting. Liu Yin's mother must be Ma Chao's daughter, so Liu Yin said so.Mr. Ma said indifferently: "General Liu is a nobleman of the Han Emperor, and the old man is a rough man in the mountains and fields. How dare he climb up. Please take a seat."

Obviously, Liu Yin's attempt to get closer to the other party by means of marriage did not work. In fact, in terms of closeness, Ma Chao and Ma Jing were also outside the fifth server, and they were both descendants of General Fubo Ma Yuan. They are also very distant in blood.In fact, in Ma Teng's father's generation, he was already very estranged from the direct line of the Ma family, and his family was poor, otherwise he would not have married a Qiang girl.It wasn't until Ma Teng, who was of Qiang blood, rose up in Xiliang by virtue of his personal ability and became a generation of princes that Ma Teng's branch was recognized again.The internal branches of the Ma family are complicated, and they do not communicate with each other. Take the Ma family of Longxi and the Ma family of Fufeng as examples, they do not move around with each other, and go about their own business.

Maintaining the operation of a huge family requires an extremely sharp mind. Old people become smart and old people become weird. Mr. Ma's life experience is not only rich and colorful, but Liu Yin can impress him with a few words.

Liu Yin didn't care either. Originally, when he came here, he didn't expect to be able to get through the joints just by relying on the relationship with Ma's nephew, but it seems that this old guy is a bit stubborn and not easy to persuade.

The two sides sat down separately as the guest and the host, and had three rounds of tea.Liu Yin took the lead and said: "Mr. Ma has both ability and political integrity, and no one in Longyou can surpass him. Today is a critical moment, and the Han Dynasty is in decline. Cao bandits usurped the Han. It has been several generations. According to the orders of His Majesty the Son of Heaven of the Great Han Dynasty, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains to punish the thieves, I know the master's hope in Longyou, I hope to get the help of the master, to help the Han Dynasty, and eliminate the culprits, this is the hope of the people of the world."

Since Ma Jing's attitude was ambiguous, Liu Yin didn't have the heart to play Tai Chi with him, so he simply went straight to the point, directly explaining the purpose of coming, and didn't give Ma Jingxu a chance to be submissive.

Mr. Ma acted slightly, he didn't expect Liu Yin to be so direct, but Liu Yin's move did put him in the army, which was equivalent to directly showing his cards to him and asking him to express his opinion.However, Mr. Ma has such a wide range of knowledge, so he said calmly: "General Liu is absurd, the old man is about to die, what is the hope of a withered person? Old and old, there is no such thing as a general. It is a blessing in life to be able to grow old in the forest and keep the inheritance left by our ancestors, and I will forgive the old and feeble for other things."
