Chapter 183

Right now Chongqing was even livelier than the last time Ye Xiaotian was here. Soldiers and horses were stationed everywhere outside the city. Other than local conscripted soldiers, there were also soldiers from other provinces who were sent as reinforcements. Even if the troops and horses of the various routes only sent a few guards into the city to pass the message, the streets would be filled with soldiers.

It must be known that the last time Chongqing Prefecture was the rear of the war zone. Most of the soldiers were gathered at Songkan to guard against Borbai. This time it was Yang Yinglong who was close at hand. Yang Yinglong had already flaunted his military prowess several times outside the city walls of Chongqing. One could still see on the sturdy and thick city walls there were deep holes made by throwing stones and sharp armor-piercing arrows stuck there.

Ye Xiaotian led eighteen thousand soldiers, which could be considered as the main force. In addition, he was a native soldier from Guizhou, the only native soldier from another province. Therefore, the Chongqing military attached great importance to him and specially sent a commander to receive him.

As a good friend of Ye Xiaotian, Kuai Peng gave him special treatment. He gave him a very spacious area for him to be stationed, and also provided him with the convenience of military supplies.

With these factors, Ye Xiaotian was able to settle down very quickly despite the large number of soldiers and the complicated composition. Everything in the barracks was in good order. He then went to the city to pay his respects to Zongbing Wan Ren.

Ye Xiaotian arrived at Zongbing Wan's mansion. He sent someone with a name to enter. While he was waiting in the gatehouse, suddenly several riders came together. Ye Xiaotian had just turned his head when he heard one of the riders cheering, "Ye Dage, I heard you were coming. I didn't expect to see you today. What a coincidence!"

Ye Xiaotian took a closer look and saw a tall and imposing young general. He was wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He was Chieftain Ma Qiancheng. Next to him was a pretty woman dressed like a young married woman. Her face was like a silver plate, with almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks. She was Qin Liangyu.

These two were together all day long even before they were married. Although Old Master Qin was not like other pedantic scholars, he was worried that the young man and woman would get together. If they married when they were pregnant, they would be laughed at. Therefore, after returning from Bozhou, he had already contacted Ma Doufu who was still 'serving his sentence'.

Ma Doufu was still 'serving his sentence', but his son had already ascended the throne. To some extent, a chieftain's ascension was similar to a crown prince's ascension. Therefore, although he was an outsider and Ma Qiancheng's mother had just passed away, based on Madam Qin's actions, there was really no need for Ma Doubo to regard her as his wife or the mother of his son.

Therefore, Ma Doufu personally wrote a letter, ordering his son to get married as soon as possible so that he could assist him in managing the Ma family, which was in constant turmoil. Therefore, in accordance with his father's orders, Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu had already gotten married. Due to the frequent wars during this period, the wedding was simple. Even Ye Xiaotian did not have the time to attend the wedding banquet. He only sent someone to deliver a generous gift. Since Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu got married, this was the first time they had met Ye Xiaotian.

The warhorse stopped in front of them. Ma Qiancheng dismounted, his silver armor clattering. Fortunately, it was only a 'face-lift', so it was not very heavy. It did not affect his movements at all. When Ma Qiancheng arrived in front of Ye Xiaotian, he immediately gave him a warm bear hug. Qin Liangyu also walked over, smiling. Luoluo called out, "Big Brother Ye."

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "You and your husband are newlyweds. Why have you come to Chongqing? Could it be that you want to join forces with me to attack Bozhou?"

Ma Qiancheng's eyes were full of hatred. He said, "The feud between the country and the family … Even if the imperial court does not send troops, one day, I, Ma Qiancheng, will settle things with that Yang Yinglong. Now that I have such an opportunity, how can I miss it? "

Ye Xiaotian patted his shoulder and said, "A real man is quick to repay kindness and enmity. This is how it should be. But is it appropriate for the Palm Print Lady to go with you? There will be no one at home to watch over you. "

Ma Qiancheng said, "I did not want Xiaoyu to go in the first place. It was she who was worried and insisted on going with me. My father-in-law was worried about her, so he sent the Qin Family's five hundred men trained by Xiaoyu. What else could I do? I could only let her go."

Qin Liangyu rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Look at your reluctant face. Although you fight bravely, you only know how to move forward and never look back. If I don't watch over you, won't you go to heaven? "

Ma Qiancheng chuckled. He clearly enjoyed his wife's thoughtfulness. It was just that as a man, he was always unwilling to express his thoughts.

Ma Qiancheng said to Ye Xiaotian, "But Xiaoyu did not come for nothing. This time, I brought three thousand Ma Family Army and Xiaoyu brought me five hundred white soldiers. These five hundred soldiers were not conscripted by the imperial court. They were the Qin Family's own soldiers who prepared their own rations and horses to solve the national crisis. Governor-General Li was very happy and specially made a silver medal for my wife. Xiaoyu? "

Ma Qiancheng said and looked at Qin Liangyu. Qin Liangyu laughed and said, "You ah, showing off every time you catch someone." In the end, she could not dissuade her husband. She turned to the side and showed Ye Xiaotian the exquisite silver medal hanging from her waist. The silver medal was the size of a palm and was engraved with four words: "Husband of Women!"

Ye Xiaotian sighed and said, "Only a heroine like you is worthy of such an evaluation."

Qin Liangyu laughed and said, "Big Brother Ye is too kind. In my opinion, your Palm Seal Lady and Sister Ning 'er just did not have the same opportunity as me. Otherwise, with their intelligence and wisdom, how difficult would it be to get a medal from the Emperor? "

While they were chatting and laughing, the door of Commander Wan's mansion ran out and shouted, "Commander Wan invites Commander Ye!"

Ma Qiancheng hurriedly said, "Me too, me too!"

It seemed that Ma Qiancheng was a frequent visitor and had a good relationship with Commander Wan. When the door saw him, he laughed and said, "Oh! So it's Chieftain Ma. Please, please! "

Ma Qiancheng took Ye Xiaotian's arm and said with a smile, "Big Brother, let's go and see Commander Wan together. I am very familiar with Commander Wan. When he was a general, he often came to my house to eat and drink. He is my father's good friend. Later, when he was promoted, he put on airs and refused to come. "

Qin Liangyu hit him with his elbow and said angrily, "You're talking nonsense again. Commander Wan is obviously moving to Songpan. It's a long journey and he is busy with military affairs. He has no time to come to your residence for banquets."

The relationship between the Ma family and Wan Zongbing seemed to be very close. Listening to his nonsense, the old gatekeeper was also smiling, not at all offended.
