Luo Qing walked into the study in a hurry, and behind him, Lu Daqing walked in with a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Luo Qing. Luo Qing stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, found that it was too hot, and saw that Luo Xin had a cup of tea in front of him that he hadn't drunk yet, and touched it, the temperature was just right, so he picked it up and drank it all.

"Big brother, slow down! What is it that makes you so rushed? ”

Luo Qing put down the teacup and just wanted to speak, but when he saw the letter on the table, he quickly glanced at it a few times, looked up at Luo Xindao:

"You know about that, too?"

"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "What?" Are you coming back for this matter? Could it be that General Bai was transferred to Guangdong? ”

"It's not!" Luo Qing waved his hand and said: "The situation has been a little bad recently, and Alatan Khan originally preached without scruples about attacking the border pass. Now that this incident has happened again in Guangdong, I feel that Daming will fall into the scourge of war in the future. Brother Xin, do you know Ma Fang? ”

Hearing the eldest brother mention Ma Fang, Luo Xin's spirit was lifted, Ma Fang can be said to be the first general in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a legendary figure from a slave to a general.

Ma Fang, the word Dexin, alias Lanxi. The era in which Ma Fang lived was a period when the remnant Yuan forces were wantonly invading the territory of the Ming Dynasty and wars were still raging on the border, and Ma Fang's hometown of Datong Xuanhua was at the forefront of the war. In the fourth year of Jiajing, Ma Fang, who was only 10 years old, was taken away by the Mongol Tatar tribes and forced to herd cattle and become a slave. In the vast grassland, he bent wood as a bow and practiced riding and archery, accumulating over time, and the arrows were not missing.

One day, the tribal leader I went to the grassland to hunt, and encountered a fierce tiger pounced on him. So, I commanded him to follow him. Although Ma Fang was reused by my answer. But his heart was in the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing 16 years, unprepared, ran to Datong alone, served as a soldier under the curtain of Datong General Rong Zhou Shangwen, and began his military career to defend the country, from a soldier to a junior officer, from the governor to the general army of Xuanfu, becoming a generation of famous generals. "History of the Ming Dynasty" said that its "size is hundreds of tens, and the body is dozens of wounds." Hitting the crowd with less is not a big victory. Dozens of ministers were captured, and the remnants were not counted, and the prestige shook the border, and he was the handsome champion for a while. ‘

"Ma Fang has come to Jinyang?"

Luo Xin's face showed excitement, such a historical celebrity made Luo Xin's heart pound. But then he shook his head and said:

"Impossible? Ma Fang should be in Xuanfu at this time. ”

Luo Qing smiled and said, "Why did Master Ma come to Jinyang?" It was one of his staff members, Mr. Xu, who came to Jinyang, he was from Jinyang, this time he was returning to his hometown to visit relatives, and he was good friends with General Bai. ”

Speaking of which. He looked at Luo Xin's gaze and said gratefully: "I am now valued by Mr. Bai, so he also took me with him when he met Mr. Xu." During the banquet, Mr. Xu was shocked by the strategy in my chest and asked him. The eldest brother mentioned you, and the words were all taught by you, so that Mr. Xu wanted to meet you. ”

Luo Xin's face was bitter and said, "Big brother, why did you tell me?" ”

Luo Qing said seriously: "Brother Xin, although you will follow the path of a literati in the future. But with the support of the military, your path will be smoother. What's more, the Ming Dynasty has always had a tradition of literati commanding the army. Maybe in the future, Brother Xin will still have the opportunity to command the army, so the eldest brother thinks that it is not a bad thing to make some military people in advance. ”

"Isn't there you in the military?"

"Brother Xin, my brain is not as good as yours, I think this matter is beneficial to you. If you think it's harmful, I'll tell Mr. Xu that you're preparing for the exam and refuse him. ”

Luo Xin shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter about the pros and cons, now I don't have a reputation, just an ordinary person, just the so-called unofficial and light, it doesn't hurt to contact some." ”

Chunyang Palace is a Taoist holy place integrating temples and garden styles, and there are all kinds of pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard. Luo Xin and Luo Qing walked into the gate, and in the center of the courtyard was the Lu Zu Palace, which was three rooms wide, square and square, and it was very spectacular. Luo Xin followed Luo Qing through the Lu Zu Hall and entered the courtyard behind the palace. This courtyard is built according to the direction of the eight trigrams, and has distinctive Taoist architectural characteristics.

The pavilions are scattered, twists and turns, wandering here, can not help but make Luo Xin sigh that there is a great "mountains and rivers are doubtful, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village".

While lingering on the scenery, he followed Luo Qing up to an attic, walked up the stairs, and before he reached the top floor, he heard bursts of hearty laughter from above.

The two of them walked up to the attic, and the conversation and laughter inside stopped, Luo Xin's eyes swept away, and he saw three people sitting on it, three of whom he knew, one was Bai Zongbing, one was Bai Zongbing's subordinate general Xia Yong, and the third person was a literati wearing a Confucian shirt, about forty years old, with three strands of long hair, and the whole person looked thin.

The news that Alatan Khan was preparing to start the war against the Ming Dynasty had not yet spread widely to the Ming Dynasty, so a large number of pilgrims were still pouring in from the Chunyang Palace, bustling, but above this high attic, it was very quiet.

At this time, facing the eyes of the three people, Luo Qing first walked up and saluted respectfully: "See Lord General Soldier, General Xia, and Mr. Xu." ”

Luo Xin also walked up and said, "The student has seen Lord Bai, Master Xia, and Mr. Xu. ”

It stands to reason that today's Luo Xin is not yet famous, and he should bow down when he sees three people with official positions. However, Luo Xin, who came from later generations, was very unaccustomed to kneeling, and all three of them were also dressed in civilian clothes. At the same time, these three people also knew that it was only a matter of time before Luo Xin had fame, so they naturally would not dwell on such trivial matters.

"Master Luo is polite, we martial artists are not good at such a false courtesy, take a seat." Mr. Bai said with a smile.

Luo Xin confessed, and walked to an empty seat and sat down. Unspoken, gentle and elegant.

Mr. Xu looked at Luo Xin with interest, and when he saw Luo Xin's calm and elegant expression, his eyes showed a look of approval, and he said with a smile:

"Master Luo, I've heard of a big name for a long time!"

Luo Xin really hadn't heard of the name Xu Haoran, but since he could be Ma Fang's staff, it shouldn't be simple. Hearing Xu Haoran's praise, Luo Xin's face showed humility and said:

"Mr. Xu has an overreputation, the student is just a person who has just started to participate in the scientific examination, where does he get his reputation."

"Hahaha......" Xu Haoran laughed and said: "Luo Gongzi is too modest, not to mention that you just won the first place in the county trial." Let's just say that the poems you wrote "Taoyuan Autumn" and "Cold River Fishing" are admired by the old man. ”

Luo Xin smiled shyly, but did not speak. Xu Haoran said with an interested look on his face:

"Your smoke-locked pond willow came up with the next link?"
