One day later.
At the banquet.
"This time, the noble son saved my daughter, I am extremely grateful. The first cup of wine is to Clan Leader Ma! "Chang Biao raised the cup in his hand, smiling.
Ma Yingjie hurriedly raised his cup, saying humbly: "This was just a coincidence, I did not expect to save Lord Chang Biao's beloved daughter, this is Hong Yun's honor."
"Hahaha." Chang Biao laughed loudly, draining his cup.
Ma Yingjie also drained his cup.
Ma Hong Yun sat beside him, becoming the main character of the banquet, dozens of gazes were focused on him.
Feeling the probing, curious, and doubtful gazes, Ma Hong Yun was somewhat uneasy.
Chang Biao gently put down his cup, using his gaze to indicate Pan Ping who was sitting beside him.
They had already discussed this before. Pan Ping understood, looking at Ma Hong Yun: "Nephew, tell us how you saved the beauty."
"I, I …" Ma Hong Yun mumbled, unable to say a word.
In truth, he also did not know how he saved her. At that time, he only cared about escaping, with the sky full of Ironbeak Birds behind him, the situation was so urgent, even if he saved Chang Li, he did not think twice.
Pan Ping's eyes widened, unable to wait for Ma Hong Yun to speak.
Luckily, Chang Biao had already calculated, understanding Ma Hong Yun's personality, his gaze turned, looking at someone in the banquet.
This person immediately stood up, came to the center, cupped his fists and asked: "Elder Chang Biao, Lords, I was one of the people involved, I was fortunate enough to witness the entire situation. Lord Ma Hong Yun is magnanimous and humble, not arrogant, but I cannot bear to see a hero be buried, thus I have the courage to take advantage of the wine to tell the Lords. "
Hearing this. He knew that this person was eloquent.
Chang Biao nodded: "Then speak."
This person opened his mouth, his words were filled with sincerity, his emotions were vivid, with ups and downs, vivid. Ma Hong Yun was portrayed as a lone hero who acted decisively, was brave and astute, and was not afraid of hardships and dangers.
Hearing this, everyone cheered from time to time, praising him.
Looking at Ma Hong Yun's gaze. They all changed, becoming respectful, gentle, and appreciative.
Ma Hong Yun's eyes widened as he listened. It was as if he was listening to a heavenly book. He couldn't believe it. "Is this person talking about me? When did I become so powerful? Could it be that he was mistaken? "
There was another person who couldn't believe it, and that was Ma Yingjie.
Ma Yingjie was the head of the Ma family. He was a hero of his generation, and he was familiar with Ma Hong Yun's temperament. How could he be coaxed by these flowery words?
On the surface, he had a faint smile on his face. When he heard the ingenuity of Ma Hong Yun's words, he kept nodding his head, casting a look of approval towards Ma Hong Yun. He had saved Chang Li. There was nothing strange about that. But why did Elder Chang Biao send someone to help Ma Hong Yun explain things in such a manner? What was Chang Biao plotting? Although there are dozens of guests at tonight's banquet, there are only two main characters, and that is Chang Biao and Pan Ping. "
Ma Yingjie was secretly on his guard.
Ma family lost in the battle for the Imperial Court and went from prosperity to decline. Ma Yingjie's master and father were not on the battlefield. Hardships and setbacks made Ma Yingjie mature quickly and become a hero.
He secretly guessed Chang Biao's intentions. But he didn't show it on the surface.
Ma family had declined, and Chang family was like the sun in the sky because of Fang Yuan! Pan Ping left the demonic path and joined Hei family. His current identity was an external elder of Hei family.
No matter who it was. They were not people that the current Ma family and Ma Yingjie could afford to offend.
"Good, good, good." After that person finished narrating Ma Hong Yun's heroic deeds, Chang Biao said good three times in a row.
"As expected of a young hero." Chang Biao looked at Ma Hong Yun and praised him.
After a pause, he continued: "Since ancient times, heroes love beauties, and beauties are paired with heroes. I won't hide it from everyone. Ever since my daughter was saved, she has been very quiet and unwilling to leave. I asked for the reason and found out that my daughter's heart belongs to someone else. She is worried about that heroic young man who saved her in danger. I held this banquet to express my gratitude and also because of this reason. "
Once he said this, the hall was in an uproar.
Countless gazes were filled with envy, jealousy, shock, and disbelief as they looked at Ma Hong Yun.
"What kind of dog shit luck does this kid have? To be able to gain the favor of Chang family's young miss? "
"Chang Li is pretty and lovely, who would have thought that she would fall in love with such a silly kid? Sigh, if I had known, I would have gone to the forest where the iron beak birds live. "
"Although this Chang Li is not Chang Biao's biological daughter, she was adopted since young and has always been loved by Chang Biao. She is the apple of Elder Chang Biao's eye. If Ma Hong Yun marries Chang Li, his father-in-law will be Chang Biao! "
At once, everyone's emotions were boiling.
Ma Yingjie quickly recovered from his shock. He quickly thought and still had doubts: "Could this be the reason why Chang Biao invited us to a banquet? Although there is the matter of Su Xian's night elopement, isn't this too good? "
Even better things were yet to come.
In front of everyone, Chang Biao took out two white silver relic Gu: "The new generation excels the old, nephew is a young hero of our northern plains, I have to reward you. These two white silver relic Gu are my thanks for saving my life, nephew, please accept them. "
The commotion in the hall became even louder.
"Ah?" Ma Hong Yun looked at Ma Yingjie in a hurry.
Ma Yingjie nodded and smiled: "I don't dare to refuse an elder's gift, Hong Yun, why aren't you kneeling and thanking him?"
Ma Hong Yun quickly left his seat and walked forward, kneeling: "Thank you Lord Chang Biao for the gift."
Chang Biao laughed heartily and also left his seat, personally handing the two white silver relic Gu to Ma Hong Yun.
Under everyone's gaze, he intimately patted Ma Hong Yun's hand and asked: "I wonder what nephew's opinion of my daughter?"
"Ah?" Ma Hong Yun raised his head with a flushed face, not knowing how to reply. After pondering for a while, he finally squeezed out a few words: "Lady Chang Li is beautiful, very beautiful."
"Hahaha." Chang Biao raised his head and laughed: "That's good, that's good. Nephew, please return to your seat. "
They returned to their seats and continued with the banquet.
The banquet lasted from evening until late at night before the host and guests left after enjoying themselves.
As the crowd dispersed, the matter of Chang tribe marrying off their daughter and the lucky lad Ma Hong Yun spread far and wide.
On the second day, Chang Biao invited Ma Yingjie and Ma Hong Yun to a banquet again. But this time, the scale was smaller and not as big as before, only a few people were invited.
Ma Yingjie looked at the invitation card in his hand, his gaze solemn.
After returning, he did not sleep for the whole night, pondering over this matter.
The small invitation made him feel exceptionally heavy in his hands.
He placed the invitation card on the table and called for a servant: "Go, summon Ma Hong Yun to have an audience."
The servant quickly received the order and when he arrived at Ma Hong Yun's residence, Zhao Lianyun was instructing Ma Hong Yun face to face: "You idiot, what kind of dog shit did you step on to actually have such luck? But this matter is too good, it makes people feel guilty instead. I think, tribe leader Ma Yingjie will definitely summon you to inquire about this matter. At that time, you just need to tell him everything clearly, you cannot hide anything! "
"Oh." Ma Hong Yun immediately agreed.
"Also." Zhao Lianyun's eyeballs turned, "Didn't Chang Biao reward you with two white silver relic Gu? When the tribe leader summons you, offer these two Gu to him. "
"What?" Ma Hong Yun's eyes opened wide, shouting: "I risked my life to obtain these with great difficulty! Lord Chang Biao rewarded me with Gu worms, if I use them, I can immediately advance to rank two upper stage. This is such a good thing. "
"You idiot!" Zhao Lianyun angrily kicked Ma Hong Yun's calf.
Ma Hong Yun immediately hugged his calf, crying out in pain: "Why did you kick me again?"
Zhao Lianyun rolled his eyes, unhappily reprimanding: "What do you know? Even if you advance to rank two upper stage, with your skills, what use is it? What is the foundation of our existence? It was not because of his cultivation at the second transition, but because of his friendship with Leader Ma Ying Jie. How did you advance to rank two? It is the three green bronze relic Gu that tribe leader Ma Yingjie rewarded you. You offered the white silver relic shares, that is showing your loyalty. Do you think the tribe leader will embezzle your two white silver relic Gu? Hmph, he has no use for them, he will definitely accept them and return them to you. "
"Eh, since he accepted the Gu worms, why would he return them to me?" Ma Hong Yun asked in puzzlement.
"Idiot!" Zhao Lianyun rolled his eyes again, "Ma tribe is declining now, there are few tribesmen and many things are waiting to be done. In the whole tribe, there is only one rank three Old Ma You Liang, and he is crippled. Ma Yingjie has just ascended to the position and does not have anyone he can use. He also wants to revitalize the tribe, it is time to promote talents and nurture trusted aides. Although your surname was Fei, your surname is Ma now, and you were once Ma Yingjie's head servant. Ma Yingjie knows you very well, he is more assured in using you than others. If you offer your Gu worms and express your loyalty, he will definitely be happy and accept your Gu worms, this is acknowledging your loyalty. "
"But Ma Yingjie is not a petty and stingy mediocre lord. Accepting the Gu worms is just a gesture, he will definitely return them to you. Why? It is to set an example, to encourage the tribesmen to learn from your loyalty. I am certain that he will not only return the white silver relic Gu to you, he will even reward you. Although you lack ability, you have loyalty. This is called buying a horse's bones with a thousand gold coins. "
Ma Hong Yun was confused: "What is buying a horse's bones with a thousand gold coins?"
"Sigh, you won't understand even if I explain. Just do as I say. There will definitely be benefits for you. "
"Oh." Ma Hong Yun scratched his head and agreed.
The two had just come to an agreement when Ma Yingjie's servant ran over to send a message.
Ma Hong Yun followed his words and offered two white silver relic Gu. But different from Zhao Lianyun's estimation, after Ma Yingjie accepted them, he did not return them to Ma Hong Yun.
This caused Ma Hong Yun to complain to Zhao Lianyun when he returned.
