Although he had seen the tall and majestic Majiawu Fort from the outside, Liu Yin couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he stepped inside the Wuwu Fort. Inside Majiawu Fort, all the houses are connected, and all of them are made of stone, and the long and narrow stone path twists and turns, leading in all directions, and when you enter the laneway, if no one leads the way, you will soon get lost.

Liu Yin understands that although such a narrow layout of streets and alleys is not conducive to transportation, it seems to be more suitable for defense, even if the enemy breaks through the fort wall and enters the interior of the dock fort, the private soldiers guarding the dock fort can still defend through the streets and alleys, such a narrow street is not conducive to the operation of a large army at all, and the enemy who enters the dock fort will always face attacks from hidden places from all directions, unless the entire dock fort is completely demolished, no one can completely capture this place.

In the center of the dock fort is a high watchtower, ascend the watchtower, the whole dock fort is at a glance, take in the bottom view, the watchtower and the watchtower at the four corners of the dock fort have the plank road hanging in the air to connect, the defense system of the whole dock fort presents three-dimensional multi-layer, can be called a most perfect fortification.

The Guanlong area is often harassed by the invasion of Huyi, and the Shijia Hao clan has a large number of fields outside the city, and it seems unrealistic to move all the tenant soldiers into the city, so the Shijia Hao clan spares no effort to build the dock fort to maintain the family's property and population from loss, and the size of the dock fort is also the best embodiment of the strength of a Shijia Hao clan, like the Majia Dock Fort, which is second to none in the Longyou area, it is also extremely rare, and its solidity. It has surpassed the county seat. It shows the strong strength of the Longyou Ma family.

Walk in such a narrow and deep alleyway. It gives people a feeling of oppressive embarrassment and danger, and makes people suspect that a feathered arrow or a spear will fly out of nowhere.

Xue Wujiang's face was cold, his right hand unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword, and whispered to Liu Yin: "General, this dock fort is full of weirdness, we bring too few people, if the other party has an ambush, it will be difficult for us to get out." ”

Liu Yin is quite calm. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, we have no malice, and I believe that the people of the Ma family will not regard us as enemies." ”

Like this turtle shell-like fortress, the role is to defend, which also shows that its owner does not seek progress, only seeks self-preservation of the way of life, if he leads troops to invade at this moment, maybe the Ma family will be full of hostility, but at this moment to visit. There is a way to reach out and not hit the smiling person, and the Ma family will naturally not have hostile feelings. What's more, after the Shu army entered the Longyou. has not used any drastic means against the wealthy families of the Shi family, including the Ma family, and the relationship between the two sides now seems to be in a delicate balance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please." The steward who led the way introduced Liu Yin and the others into a house, respectfully and politely.

Liu Yin left the guards outside the door, and entered the room alone with Xue Wu, Chen Shou, and He Pan.

From the outside, the houses in the dock castle seem to be the same, crude and simple, but when you enter the room, you immediately have a feeling that you have made a big mistake, the space in this house is huge, spacious and bright, the sun shines obliquely from the top, there is no such dark and cramped feeling, and the furnishings in the house are extremely luxurious, showing the wealth and taste of the owner.

The alleys and mansions do bring people infinite visual impact. In the mansion, a white-haired old man dressed in a fancy dress and light fur stood with a smile, presumably he was the current head of the Ma family, Ma Jingma.

Liu Yin took a step forward and said with a smile: "Come here today, take the liberty to visit, and where it is rude, I hope that Old Man Ma will have a lot of Haihan." ”

Old Man Ma returned the salute and said with a slight smile: "The general of Zhenbei is not despicable and condescending to the humble house, and he is here to make the humble house shine, so why take the liberty to say that the general is polite." ”

Liu Yin said politely: "My mother is also from the Ma family, and I should be the nephew of the old man Ma according to my generation, and Yinxu has to call you uncle." ”

There was a touch of color in Old Man Ma's eyes, but it was fleeting, Liu Yin's mother must be Ma Chao's daughter, so Liu Yin said so. Old Man Ma said indifferently: "General Liu is a nobleman of the Han Emperor, and the old man is a vulgar person in the mountains and wilderness, how dare he climb high." Please take a seat. ”

Obviously, Liu Yin's attempt to get closer to the other party by climbing relatives did not work, in fact, in terms of intimacy, Ma Chao and Ma Jing were already outside the five suits, they were just descendants of General Fubo Ma Yuan, and they were already very distant in blood. In fact, in Ma Teng's father's generation, he was already very estranged from the Ma family, and his family was poor, otherwise he would not marry a Qiang girl. It wasn't until Ma Teng, who has Qiang blood, rose up in Xiliang with his personal ability and became a generation of princes that Ma Teng's branch was re-recognized. The internal branches of the Ma family are complicated, and they do not interact with each other, just take the Longxi Ma family and the Fufeng Ma family as examples, they also have nothing to move around each other, and they do their own thing.

Maintaining the operation of a huge family requires a very sharp mind, the old man becomes a fine, the old man becomes a monster, and the life experience of the old man Ma is not only rich and colorful, but also Liu Yin can be moved in a few words.

Liu Yin didn't care, originally he came here, he didn't expect that he could get through the joint just by relying on the relationship between the nephew of the Ma family, but it seems that this old guy is a little bit of oil and salt, and he is not a good convincing master.

The two sides sat down separately and passed three rounds of tea. Liu Yin took the lead and said: "Mr. Ma has both ability and political integrity, and no one can match him in Longyou. Today's crisis, the Han family fell into the decadence of the Cao thief usurped the Han, has gone through several generations, Sima got the power, the common people were in trouble, Yin is in accordance with the will of His Majesty the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, the revenge of the thief, know Mr. in Longyou's prestige, hope to get Mr. help, Kuang help the Han family, get rid of the traitor, the hope of the people in the world. ”

Since Ma Jing's attitude was vague, Liu Yin didn't have the heart to play Tai Chi with him, so he simply went straight to the point, directly clarified his intentions, and no longer gave Ma Jing a chance to be wronged.

Old Man Ma was slightly colored, he didn't expect Liu Yin to be so direct, but Liu Yin's move was indeed to put him in the army, which was equivalent to a direct showdown with him and let him express his position. However, Old Man Ma has seen so much knowledge, and said quietly at the moment: "General Liu has praised it falsely, what kind of prestige does the old decay will be a wood, a withered person?" Old and old, there is no heart of a general of this age, it is a blessing in life to be able to grow old under the forest spring and keep the inheritance left by the ancestors. (To be continued.) )
