The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Li Yuanqing did not expect that Ma Shilong would invite him to dinner. After all, they can only be regarded as nodding friends. Li Yuanqing's visit to Shanhaiguan is also classified.

However, at this juncture, it is easy to think about it.

As sun Chengzong's lineage, he was so disheartened that he was also implicated. Ma Shilong was afraid that he would not be reconciled to it.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanqing didn't refuse. He followed the old servant to a small restaurant not far from the front.

The old servant went to Tongbing first, while Li Yuanqing stood in this small hall, which was afraid to be only ten or twenty square meters, and looked at the surrounding environment.

The restaurant is very small and the furniture is very old. It seems that it has been some years. Only a couple of about 40 or 50 years old are busy working.

Perhaps, this place should not be called a tavern. It can only be regarded as a pub.

Since he is here, Ma long must have arranged for dinner.

For a moment, a strong man in his early thirties came out of the curtain of the inner room, and said with a smile, "Li Shuai, I'm not very good at thinking these days. I've neglected the distinguished guests. I'd like to ask Li Shuai Hai Han

Li Yuanqing a smile, "Ma Shuai treat, younger brother is honored to."

Ma Shilong is no longer polite, "Li Shuai, please."

Li Yuanqing nodded and stepped quickly into the curtain.

Inside the curtain is a small corridor. Seven or eight steps away, there is a small courtyard. There are many livestock in it, including sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks. There is a faint smell of livestock manure.

Li Yuanqing frowned slightly.

At this time, Ma Shilong also rushed over and said with a smile: "Li Shuai, the conditions are so poor that you can laugh at it. However, this is a small shop of a distant relative of mine, and the dishes are still authentic. "

Said, Ma Shilong busy led Li Yuanqing to the front of the small stairs on the bungalow.

The buildings in the northern part of Daming are mostly atmospheric and practical, far less elegant than those in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the tavern is simple and crude, its location is quite good. Especially on the small rooftop of the courtyard, you can clearly see the towering wall not far away.

Come to this side of the small table to sit down, the night breeze hit, is very cool, let a person spirit.

Ma Shilong poured tea for Li Yuanqing with a smile. He picked a bunch of plump purple grapes from the grape trellis beside him. He said to the old servant, "Uncle Zhong, go and arrange the meals for Li Shuai brothers. Let six elder brothers and six sisters-in-law serve the dishes."

"Yes." The old servant left in a hurry.

Ma Shilong picked up his tea cup with a smile, and touched Li Yuanqing slightly and said, "Marshal Li, this is the first time that we really sit together and have a meal in Liaoning Province for so many years."

Li Yuanqing laughed, "Ma Shuai, I've always heard of Ma Shuai's name for a long time. Unfortunately, Ma Shuai, you know, our time can't be decided by ourselves."

Ma Shilong also a smile: "Li Shuai, you and I are in the same breath, each suffering, only their own hearts understand. In this way, you don't have to call me ma Shuai. I've been out of breath. If Li Shuai looks up to me, you can call me brother Ma or Ma Daban. "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "brother Ma, although we haven't arrived yet, God has been together for a long time. You call me Yuanqing. "

Two people met one eye, are laughing, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

At this time, the six elder brothers and six sisters in law of this small shop also began to serve the dishes.

It's all mutton, chicken and duck in a large pot, beef tendon in a large pot, several large dishes of cold dishes, cold mixed lamb intestines, beef blinds and so on, but there is no pork.

Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered that Ma Shilong was born in Ningxia, but he was not a Hui nationality.

Although the dishes are not very delicate, they are better than the good taste and enough weight. The wine is also the old cellar in southern Liaoning Province, which is produced in Changsheng island.

After a few cups of wine, they ate some meat and vegetables respectively. Ma Shilong also turned the topic to the main topic: "Yuanqing, to tell you the truth, there are quite a lot of capable people in Liaoning Province these years, but you are the only one I really admire."

With a smile, Li Yuanqing raised his glass and took a sip, but he didn't speak. He waited quietly for Ma Shilong's following.

Ma Shilong drank all the wine in the cup and sighed: "ah! Yuan Qing. I think you also know the process of the matter. Brother, I am in a state of frustration! This son of a bitch, all blame me useless

Ma Shilong slapped his brain hard, unable to say the chagrin and depression.

Li Yuanqing said: "brother Ma, you don't have to be so depressed. As the sages said, winning or losing is a common business of ten soldiers! If we lose, we'll call back. But I don't know why you trust that student so much? "

Anyone who comes across this kind of thing has to worry.

What's more, this time because of his MA Shilong's mistake, sun Chengzong was also associated.

At the beginning, although Ma Shilong was also the commander-in-chief of the three Tun camp, it was just a remote place. How could he be at the same level as the commanding officer of Shanhaiguan in the world?

Unfortunately, such a good opportunity, such a key position, Ma Shilong did not grasp it."Ah

Ma Shilong couldn't help sighing, "Yuanqing, I don't know what's wrong with it? At that time, I felt like my brain was stuck. I want to kill Yaozhou and make a great achievement. But I didn't know that these dog scumbags were so frustrated. "

Li Yuanqing, however, was somewhat undeniable and did not immediately respond.

As an elite from a family of generals, Ma Shilong would never fail to understand the virtues of the soldiers under him.

What's more, Li Yuanqing can also see that although Ma Shilong is reckless in appearance, his heart is far from what he showed.

Otherwise, how can he stay in the position of commander in chief of Shanhaiguan for several years?

You know, it's a poor man, but it's also a crater.

Ma Shilong saw that Li Yuanqing didn't answer this question. He was embarrassed for a moment. He laughed awkwardly and poured a mouthful of wine. "Yuanqing, don't mind. Brother, I'm a rough man. These days, I'm too depressed."

Li Yuanqing smiles, "brother Ma is polite. It's hard for anyone to come across such a thing! "

Ma Shilong chuckled dryly, but he couldn't find the topic to continue. The atmosphere was a little cold for a while.

Looking at Li Yuanqing's young and upright face in front of him, Ma Shilong is also very unhappy.

Once upon a time, he was not so high spirited that he came to Shanhaiguan to take office? But now

In particular, Li Yuanqing's composure and indifference did not stir up the atmosphere in his heart. Ma Shilong suddenly felt that he could not start.

He suddenly found that although Li Yuanqing was young, he was able to walk to the present day. This is not the explanation of luck.

After a while, he filled Li Yuanqing with a glass of wine himself. Ma Shilong said with a smile: "Yuanqing, now I think about it. At the beginning, the reason why Liu Bokai was blinded was really blinded by lard! The main reason is that you have been victorious in the South and east of Liaoning Province. However, we in the west of Liaoning Province, who eat so much military pay every year, are doing nothing. My brother is also worried! Also want to seize this opportunity, do a good job! It's a pity... "

Li Yuanqing a smile, "brother Ma, I don't know where Liu Bokai is now?"

Ma Shilong shook his head helplessly: "after this, I have never seen him again. I don't know where this guy has gone! If I meet him again, I will never let him go! "

With that, Ma Shilong took a look at Li Yuanqing and stopped talking.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "brother Ma, if you have any orders, you can tell me clearly to my younger brother."

Ma Shilong said with a smile: "Yuanqing, that's it. You know. Although I'm gone, I still have many old brothers. Yuanqing, if it's convenient for you, can these old brothers follow you for a meal

"Oh?"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "brother Ma, why did you say that? In the west of Liaoning Province, the salary is much more generous than that of my Changsheng Island, isn't it? I'm afraid that if these brothers go to Changsheng Island, it's hard to adapt to it! "

Ma Shilong was embarrassed and hesitated for a long time. Then he said with a smile: "Yuanqing, some words don't have to be too clear from my brother, right? Yuan Qing, you must be the most clear about your brother's sufferings. "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "brother Ma, this is within the scope of my younger brother's ability. I'm willing to do my best. However, brother Ma must also understand that there is nothing you and I can do about it! "

……

It's late at night to leave the restaurant.

Overhead, the moon and stars are rare, and the night breeze is also very pleasant.

Back in front of the water post of the hotel where he stayed, he scooped out a ladle of cool well water and sucked hard on his face. Li Yuanqing took a long breath of turbid gas, and the wine spirit dissipated a lot.

Tonight, although the wine with Ma Shilong is not bad, Li Yuanqing knows very well that they are not people of the same world at all.

As a general's son, Ma Shilong has a vision and a certain ability. Unfortunately, the numerous shackles from childhood to adulthood have already turned him into a "slippery hand", like a loach, and no longer has half the spirit.

To be frank, he wanted to gain benefits, but he didn't want to take responsibility.

But at the end of the day, how could it be so easy?

Although it has already been said, it has no meaning.

Just like the traffic accidents of later generations, Ma Shilong can only be regarded as a secondary or even secondary responsibility in the defeat of Liuhe. However, the general trend is here, and he has to bear the black pot.

To some extent, he also wanted to resist, but he wanted to fake Li Yuanqing's hand and transfer his confidant from Liaoxi.

But at this juncture, Li Yuanqing and Ma Shilong have no deep friendship. How can they take the stinky mud soup to themselves?

Not to mention, what is the use of Li Yuanqing's "masters" and "army ruffians"?

Shanhaiguan, though not big, is only a military city.

However, Liaodong's JINGLUE, Liaodong governor, inspector general, including eunuchs and soldiers, and so on, are no less than a dozen Yamen.In such an environment, just like a dozen spiders, tightly intertwined with a large web, Ma Shilong is just a "Ladybug", how can he escape?

As the old saying goes, "stand after breaking, never break.".

It's like the whole Ming Dynasty.

Liaoxi, on the root, has been rotten.

If you want to do what you want to do in this environment, or even turn around, it is just a dream.

Even if Ma Shilong is a general, even if Ma Shilong has the support of sun Chengzong, but this is not Ningxia. He can't play with this pool, and he can't play it.

Another bucket of water, staring at the deep cool well water in the bucket for a long time, Li Yuanqing suddenly kicked the bucket over, "this dog day of the world ah!"
