I’m Marquis in Great Tang

The next day, early morning.

The morning sun is rising, and the sun is shining on the earth. The weather in August is very hot, especially in Sichuan Hinterland, it is even more sultry, as if the sun shines on people, making people breathless. When Ma Zhou Gang started to enter Sichuan Hinterland, he was definitely not used to the weather, but after walking in the mountains for a few days, he was used to the heat and humidity in the mountains.

The weather in Pu’an County nowadays, for Ma Zhou, it is pediatrics, there is nothing at the worst. He left the Inn and took the Carriage to the Yang Family Residence.

Yang Family’s house, located in the Western District.

The house is very big.

It covers an area of ​​nearly 800 acres, and even the Academy of Yang Family is among them. And everyone in each room of Yang Family lives here. In fact, Yang Family members, and some distant relatives, are not at all here. If everyone in the Yang Family is together, then the number of people will be even greater.

Carriage came to the Yang Family’s house. After stopping, Ma Zhou got off the Carriage and went straight to the door of the room, knocking on the door knocker.

Crunch!

The door opens.

A porter poked his head out, said solemnly: “Who are you looking for?”

Ma Zhou handed over the famous stab and said: “Please inform Gong Yang, Wang clan of Taiyuan Wang Zhou See you.”

Ma Zhou did not speak in his real name, but instead used Wang clan of Taiyuan as the identity of the meeting. Because he knew that if he directly stated his identity, he would easily lose ground. It’s just that if you don’t say your birthplace, it will definitely be difficult to meet someone with an identity like Yang Lu. So Ma Zhou changed his strategy and said that he was a child of Wang clan of Taiyuan.

Wang clan of Taiyuan, one of the five Seven Clans.

Even the current Aristocratic Family family members have been weakened too much and their influence is not as good as before. But the influence of the Wang family is still there, and the Wang family still has a great influence in the family. Don’t look at Yang Family like Yang Lu, who has influence in Jian State. In fact, after leaving Jian State, who would still recognize Yang Family?

But the Wang family is different. The Wang family has been inherited for hundreds of years. Such a Great Family, in the eyes of everyone, is truly influential, and is the true gatekeeper.

The concierge also had some insights. When I heard that it was Wang clan of Taiyuan, I didn’t dare to delay, and put away my underestimated thoughts. I quickly went back to report it. After a while, the concierge came again and saw When Ma Zhou, the concierge looked respectful and said: “Young Master Wang, please!”

Ma Zhou said: “many thanks.”

He followed the concierge to enter. Go straight to the hall.

In the hall, sitting at the top of the hall is an elderly man who is fifty years old. This man is Yang Lu. He was thin, with pleats on one cheek, and he looked rather old, and even his hair was rather thin. If only talking about the face, Yang Lu seems to be less than sixty years old.

After entering, Ma Zhou bowed and said, “In the next king week, pay homage to Duke Yang.”

Yang Lu waved his hand and said, “Young Master Wang, please sit down.”

Although Yang Lu’s status is unusual, Yang Lu also appears very humble in front of the Wang family. If you put this look in the eyes of outsiders, you would be absolutely surprised, because Yang Lu normally treats the Academy students and the younger generation of the family very harshly, and never gives a smiley face. Just so, the students in the Academy can become talents, and the children of the family are not dandy.

After Ma Zhou took his seat, Yang Lu took the initiative: “Speaking of which, when he was young, the old man traveled across Sichuan and once had a banquet with Wang Clan of Taiyuan’s Patriarch Wang Zongzhou, although I haven’t talked about it in depth, but I have seen it. I just heard that Wang Zongzhou was killed and a major change happened in the Wang family. I don’t know what is happening in the Wang family today.”

Ma Zhou chuckled lightly. .

Yang Lu was not simple. He asked about the Wang family as soon as he opened his mouth, saying that it was an inquiry, but in fact it was a test to see if Ma Zhou knew about the Wang family, so that he could judge the situation of Ma Zhou, the son of the Wang family.

Ma Zhou knows the Wang family quite well, especially the Wang family now has many children who are all serving in Xia Country, and Wang clan of Taiyuan also helped the Xia Country army enter the Great Tang. .

Ma Zhou said neither overbearing nor overbearing: “Today’s Wang Yu is the Patriarch, and Wang Qiao is in charge of assisting. The two have been in charge of the Wang Family for many years.”

Yang Lu At one listen, slightly nodded.

He knew about the Wang family, so he asked.

Yang Lu said again: “I don’t know if Young Master Wang belongs to Wang Yu’s lineage, or Wang Qiao’s lineage, or from other rooms.”

Ma Zhou said: “Zai Xia comes from my own family, Wang Yu lineage, Wang Yu is my elder brother.”

He has no burden of lying.

The face is not flushed or breathless.

As long as Yang Lu can return to Xia Country and play for Xia Country, then Ma Zhou thinks it is worthwhile and cost-effective.

When Yang Lu heard this, the expression on his face changed again, and it became softer. It’s Wang Yu’s this lineage, so it’s not simpler. Yang Lu smiled slightly, his face covered with pleats stretched out, and he said again: “I don’t know Young Master Wang came to my Jian State and came to my Yang Family to visit, why?”

Ma Zhou said: “I came for the battle between Xia Country and Great Tang.”

He directly said the reason.

He is now a person who impersonates the Wang family. With this level of identity, Ma Zhou believes that even if Yang Lu does not agree to return to Xia Country, at least he will not cast aside all considerations for face with the Wang family, so Ma Zhou directly Said the intention.

When Yang Lu heard Ma Zhou’s words, eyes shrank in his eyes. Immediately, Yang Lu has recovered and said solemnly: “The Wang family came to persuade the old man this time, then the Wang family is on the side of Xia Country, and does Young Master Wang himself also play for Xia Country?”

Ma Zhou said: “When the Wang family was in Great Tang, they had already played for Emperor Xia and belonged to Emperor Xia. When Emperor Xia established a foothold in Western Regions, the Wang family dispatched Wang Qiao to lead the team and arranged for many children in Western Regions. Regions. After opening the Imperial City in Xia Country, most of the Wang family’s children worked in Xia Country.”

“So today’s Wang family has long been on the side of Xia Country. As for me, I haven’t been in official positions yet. , Is responsible for some chores in the family. This time I was entrusted by Patriarch to come to Jian State to persuade Duke Yang.”

“Speaking of which, Duke Yang may not believe it. I want to go south to Jian State this time. It’s not easy! There is Xia Country, General Xiao Yuanqi outside the Sword Sect Pass. He dispatched ten guards and found a local citizen as a guide to lead me to the mountains of the Sword Sect Pass.”

“This mountain is really difficult!”

Ma Zhou said: “Countless mosquitoes, snakes, insects, birds and beasts, the mountains are extremely hot and hot. After a walk in the mountains, I seem to be in The gates of hell have gone for a while. It’s a blessing to see Duke Yang now that he can have today.”

After Yang Lu heard this, a touch of approval appeared in his eyes. Admire, it is definitely not easy for a scribe to cross the mountain of Sword Sect Pass, and it requires a high price. Yang Lu stroked the beard under his jaw for a moment, and then said: “Young Master Wang is here for the war between the two sides. What do you need the old man to do?”

Ma Zhou said slightly: “First Point, I naturally hope that Yang Family of Yang Family can serve for Emperor Xia.”

Yang Lu leans forward slightly, and asks not irritably: “The old man serves Emperor Xia, Yang Family What are the benefits of playing for Emperor Xia? My Yang Family must play for Xia Country. It must be good. I can’t give the order from Emperor Xia. My Yang Family will do everything and give all my strength.”

Ma Zhou never answered directly. Instead, he asked: “Dong Yang, what benefits does Yang Family need?”
