Valkyrie Returns

The new snow and the early sunshine, even the sunshine is extraordinarily clean.

With Xiuyuan on his back, Lu Bu walked slowly along the new city that Maoling had rebuilt. Probably because of the snow, there were not many people in the market, but many people took the opportunity to hang out their batik clothes to see the light.The people of Fufeng clan have been active in the wasteland covered by yellow sand all the time, until Ma Tengping's meritorious service was awarded a moderate official position by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and most of the clansman settled down in Maoling City.

Although Ma Teng has no ambition or talent, he treats the people in the city very well.Fortunately, as soon as Lu Bu took Maoling back, he sent Ma Chao to guard it, and the people were safe and sound without any trouble.In addition, in the past two years, the city of Xiliang did not collect taxes from the surrounding small towns, and life became better and better.

As for Lu Bu and Xiu Yuan, basically no one in the city knew them.The two of them just strolled along the small streets of Maoling, many people whispered, Fufeng is originally a minority, and the wind of breaking the sleeves of Longyang is very heavy, but they have received a lot of sincere blessings.Until Lu Bu walked all the way to the gate of the inner city, he happened to meet Ma Chao coming out of the city.

Ma Chao and Lu Bu met each other's eyes, and then half-kneeled upright: "Ma Mengqi pays homage to Lord Hou."

Lu Bu shook his head and didn't speak, but Xiu Yuan had already woken up and called him up with a smile: "General Ma, you don't need to be polite, we just stopped by to have a look. I've heard Zhang Liao say that Maoling batik fabrics are very beautiful. It’s rare to have time, so let Lord Hou bring me over to have a look.”

"The military commander was joking. No matter how good batik is, it can't compare to Jiangnan Jinxiu. When I was young, I went to Luoyang with my father. I heard people say that a Jiangnan embroiderer with good craftsmanship can embroider five koi on a purse." As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere naturally relaxed.

Xiu Yuan didn't go down to the ground at all, and just let Lu Bu carry him into the inner hall.Ma Chao was slightly surprised, but didn't speak again.

"Since General Ma has been to the south of the Yangtze River, I wonder if he can go to Wu County with me and Lord Hou this time, and he can be regarded as a guide?" Yuan Ye just sat on Lu Bu's lap with half-closed eyes, with most of his body leaning against Lu Bu's chest, without any intention of finding another seat.

Sitting at the bottom of the chair, Ma Chao has been thinking carefully about the deep meaning in Xiuyuan's words. It is well known that Lu Bu is a Marquis. It is no secret that he and Sun Ce have gone hunting in Jiangdong several times, and he did not even go. Pass Jiangdong.After the Jincheng Han Sui incident, Ma Chao seemed to have matured overnight, and he was extremely sophisticated and cautious in handling things.Before leaving, Xiliang City's military adviser and the lord came to Maoling to raise some questions. Could it be that they were worried about themselves?

Thinking of this verse, although Ma Chao felt slightly displeased, he felt that it was only natural not to trust him, so he half-kneeled on the ground immediately to show his loyalty.With frivolous eyebrows and frivolous eyes, Xiu Yuan shook his wrist lightly: "I wonder how many people in this inner hall have the trust of General Ma? Master Hou and I came here in secret, and we naturally have important military secrets to discuss with the general. "

When Xiu Yuan said this, Ma Chao became serious, and immediately dismissed all the servants and servants in the inner hall.He brought Pang De and Ma Dai up again: "Pang De and I were young, so it can be believed that Ma Dai is my younger brother and the only relative who survived the slaughter by the Cao thief. In addition, Jincheng, Mao I don’t trust others in the two places of Ling anymore.”

Xiu Yuan glanced sideways at Ma Chao, and nodded slightly: "In that case, Fengxian, you should go outside the door and guard first. If anyone tries to trespass, you will be shot to death. You are very skilled in martial arts, and you can prevent anyone from taking advantage of you when you go outside." Overhear with internal force." Although Lu Bu was a little worried, he would not quarrel with Xiu Yuan at this juncture, so he nodded silently and went to guard the door.

Ma Chao originally thought that Lu Bu and Xiu Yuan came here to beat him in a different way, but he didn't expect to discuss some extremely confidential matters.Suddenly there was a warm current in my heart, and even the usual alienation on the face faded a lot: "The military master is so cautious, but he wants Lord Hou to guard the gate. The news must be very important, right?"

Xiu Yuan didn't answer, but slowly took a few sips of tea from the table. For a while, the atmosphere in the inner hall was very solemn, and no one spoke anymore. The flavor of black tea from the Fufeng tribe is extremely unique. He drank several sips in a row until the water in the glass was mostly gone, and then he said coldly: "General Ma has been under Lord Hou's command for a while, so he should understand the current situation in Xiliang City. Although Lord Hou He bravely expelled the surrounding aliens, but Cao Wei's army was looking at each other from afar in Hebei, staring at each other, Xiliang was sparsely populated, and had just gone through a round of civil strife, if Cao Wei's army really came to the city, I am afraid there will be a hard battle.

Before the new year last year, I sent the dead soldiers and secret guards who were trapped in the camp to Jiangdong to find out the news. I thought that Lord Hou and Jiangdong Sun Ce had a close personal relationship, and they might be able to take care of each other and fight against Cao Wei together.But he didn't expect to find Guo Fengxiao, the military commander of Cao Wei, in Jiangxia City by accident.Does General Ma know what this means? "

When Guo Jiaju's theory of "ten victories and ten defeats" defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu and forced Yuan Shu to death, Ma Chao was just a half-grown boy who only knew how to practice martial arts. Hearing Xiuyuan's question, he naturally shook his head inexplicably.On the contrary, Pang De had heard about Guo Jia after he had fought one or two tough battles with Han Sui, and he quickly uttered a voice to rescue Ma Chao: "When I went out with Han Sui, I heard from the staff before the account that Guo Fengxiao was very clever and clever. In the early years, he left Yuan Shu and went to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had a very close relationship with him, sharing the car when going out, and sitting at the same table when eating."

Xiuyuan didn't expect them to say anything at first, but he didn't expect that Pang De knew the details, so he looked at him a few more times and praised: "Captain Pang is really a young hero with courage and strategy. He is so keen on the important matters of military aircraft, and in time he will become a fierce general."

Although Xiuyuan spoke words of praise to Pound, his eyes kept falling on Ma Chao's face intentionally or unintentionally.Seeing that he had a faint smile from the beginning to the end, his expression was calm and unconcerned.Immediately, his evaluation of him was a little higher, and he became more confident in Jia Xu's many designs.

On the contrary, Ma Dai was young and still young at heart. Seeing that Xiu Yuan kept praising Pang De, he couldn't hold back his breath: "Didn't the military division have secrets about the military plane that he wanted to tell brother? Why are you talking about irrelevant things?"

Xiu Yuan didn't feel annoyed when Ma Dai interrupted, he simply followed his words and said, "Because of the close relationship between Cao Cao and Guo Jia, I specially sent the spies from the Ghost Face Camp to arrest Guo Jia in Jiangxia's village early on." The news has been sent to Xudu."

Hearing what Xiu Yuan said, Ma Chao immediately reacted and let out a small exclamation: "The military adviser means that Cao Mengde may go to Jiangxia to pick up people in person?"

After all, it was winter, but within half a moment, the tea in Xiuyuan's hand was completely cold, he threw the teacup on the table in disappointment, nodded lightly: "Yes, General Ma The whole family was murdered by Cao Cao, a traitor, and Hou Ye and I felt that this is an opportunity, so we intend to take the general to Wu County together. I don’t know what the general wants?"

Ma Chao received such big news without warning, and his whole body was trembling slightly because of being too excited: "Meng Qi is grateful for the military advisor and Lord Hou's kindness, and he did not forget to come here to inform about such a big event. Ma Chao vowed to follow him when he went to Jiangdong. Marquis."

Ma Chao's answer was already in Xiuyuan's design. He frowned and turned his attention to Pang De and Ma Dai again: "General Ma is stationed in Maoling, leaving at this time, I don't know how to arrange the defense in the city? Since Cao Cao wants to personally If we go to Wu County, then it is possible to send troops first to get rid of the hidden dangers in Xiliang."

Before Xiuyuan finished speaking, Pang De and Ma Dai couldn't help showing their loyalty: "Please rest assured, military adviser and Lord Hou, Ma Chao will follow Lord Hou to Wu County to assassinate Cao thief, and we will guard Maoling City well. If the city exists, the city will be destroyed and the people will perish."

As long as Ma Chao can go to Wujun with them, the goal of Xiuyuan will be achieved. Maoling is the most backward of the three Xiliang cities.Therefore, Xiu Yuan didn't say much to Pang De and Ma Dai who took over the defense of the city. He shook his sleeves and walked down from the main seat: "The words have been brought, and Lord Hou and I will go back first. After an hour , General Ma will come to the inner city of Xiliang to meet us." After Xiu Yuan finished speaking, without waiting for Ma Chao and the others to answer, he pushed open the door of the inner hall and left with Lu Bu.

With Lu Bu's hearing ability, he heard exactly what Xiu Yuan said just now.As soon as Xiuyuan came out, he couldn't wait to ask: "What does Qinghe mean? If you really have doubts about Ma Chao, as long as we kill them all, why do you have to make such a big detour to let him go to Wujun by himself?" To die? There are many masters in Xiahou's family, if Cao Cao really went there in person, what chance would Ma Chao have?"

"Why does Feng Xian trust me so much and obey me?" Xiu Yuan looked at Lu Bu scratching his head and scratching his head amusedly, but he didn't directly say Jia Xu's strategy of controlling others.

Although Lu Bu was puzzled by Xiu Yuan's question, he thought for a while habitually and gave the answer: "The reason why I trust Qinghe is naturally because I have such a relationship for so many years. I guess you won't harm me."

"What Hou Ye said is right, just imagine if Fengxian and I only met after you were made Marquis Wen, would you still be so relieved of me?"

Seeing that Xiu Yuan's problem was getting more and more bizarre, Lu Bu didn't even bother to think about it, so he put Xiu Yuan's whole body on his shoulders, and flew out like the wind: "See if you, a little villain, dare to tell Lord Hou about these things. No problem, Marquis, I am impatient, and I don't have the patience to play around like your military adviser."

Xiuyuan was held on Lu Bu's shoulders like a sack, and felt the scenery around him recede rapidly. After a while, he became dizzy and begged for mercy: "Feng Xian'er, put me down quickly, I can't bear the dizziness anymore."

When Lu Bu heard that Xiuyuan was not feeling well, he realized that he had died once, and immediately put him down, his face turned pale with fright: "Qinghe, are you all right? Great. I'll give you some internal energy to warm up your body." As he said that, he rushed through a lot of genuine energy in a hurry.

Xiu Yuan stood there stiffly, unable to smile bitterly, but his eyes turned red after a while.

Now Lu Bu was really panicked, he hastily hugged Xiu Yuan into his arms, and gently rubbed his big hands on his back: "Qinghe, why don't you feel uncomfortable, don't be angry, I don't dare anymore, or else Hit me twice to vent your anger, don't tire yourself out because of your anger."

Xiu Yuan fell into Lu Bu's arms, and tears rolled down his fair face silently: "Feng Xian, why are you so kind to me?"

Lu Bu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, smiled and rubbed Xiu Yuan's head, his mellow voice was a little too gentle: "Little fool, didn't you agree since childhood, I will not treat you well for the rest of my life, who should I treat?" It’s good to go, not to mention that I have caused you to suffer so much, and I always feel that I am not good enough for you.”

Xiu Yuan pressed his palm on Lu Bu's chest, blushed and said softly, "Fool."
