Luo Qing rushed into the study, and behind him Lu Daqing came in with a cup of hot tea, and put it in front of Luo Qing.Luo Qing reached out to pick up the teacup, but found it was too hot. Seeing that there was a cup of undrinked tea in front of Luo Xin, he touched it and found that the temperature was just right, so he picked it up and drank it down.

"Brother, slow down! What is it that makes you hurry?"

Luo Qing put down his teacup and was about to speak when he saw the letter on the table, glanced quickly, and looked up at Luo Dao:
"You also know about this?"

"En!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "What? You came back for this matter? Could it be that President Bai was transferred to Guangdong?"

"No!" Luo Qing waved his hand and said, "Recently, the situation is not good. At first, Alatan Khan had no scruples to promote the attack on the border. Now that this happened in Guangdong, I feel that Ming Dynasty will fall into the disaster of war in the future. Brother Xin, Ma Fang, do you know?"

Hearing that his elder brother mentioned Ma Fang, Luo Xin's spirit was lifted. Ma Fang can be said to be the No. 1 general in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, and a legendary figure from slave to general.

Ma Fang, courtesy name Dexin, nicknamed Lanxi.The era in which Ma Fang lived was the period when the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty invaded the territory of the Ming Dynasty and the border areas were constantly fighting. Ma Fang's hometown, Datong Xuanhua, was at the forefront of the war.In the fourth year of Jiajing, Ma Fang, who was only 10 years old, was plundered by the Mongolian Tatar tribe, forced to graze and become a slave.On the vast grassland, he bent wood into a bow, practiced riding and archery, accumulated time and time, and all arrows were shot.

One day, the leader of the tribe, I Da, went hunting in the grassland and encountered a fierce tiger rushing towards him. Seeing this, Ma Fang shot his arrow down with a sound of bow, hitting the tiger's vital point.So, I replied to order him to follow the left and right.Although Ma Fang was highly valued by Alta, his heart was in the Ming Dynasty. In the 16th year of Jiajing, he took advantage of the unpreparedness and ran to Datong alone. From a soldier to a junior officer, from the governor to the general of the Xuanfu, he has become a generation of famous generals. "History of the Ming Dynasty" said that it's "hundreds of pieces in size, dozens of wounds in its body, and it's not a big victory to hit the crowd with less."Dozens of ministers were captured, and there was no calculation to cut them off. His reputation shocked the frontiers, and he was the crown of generals for a while. '

"Ma Fang came to Jinyang?"

A look of excitement appeared on Luo Xin's face, such a famous general in history made Luo Xin's heart skip a beat.But then he shook his head and said:

"Impossible? Ma Fang should be in the Xuan Mansion right now."

Luo Qing laughed and said, "Why did Mr. Ma come to Jinyang? Mr. Xu, one of his staff members, came to Jinyang. He is from Jinyang. This time he is going back to his hometown to visit his relatives, and he has made friends with Mr. Bai."

Speaking of this, he looked at Luo Xin with gratitude and said: "I am valued by President Bai now, so he also took me with me when I met Mr. Xu. During the dinner, when we talked about the art of war, Mr. Xu would tell my elder brother and me Shocked by the Taolue in his chest, after questioning, the eldest brother mentioned you, and you taught him all the words, so that Mr. Xu wants to see you."

Luo Xin's expression was bitter and he said: "Brother, why did you tell me?"

Luo Qing said seriously: "Brother Xin, although you will take the path of a literati in the future, if you have the support of the military, your path will be smoother. What's more, Daming has always had a tradition of literati leading the army. Maybe in the future, the disciples will still have the opportunity to lead the army, so the eldest brother thinks it is not a bad thing to make friends with some military people in advance."

"Doesn't the military have you!"

"Brother Xin, my brain is not as good as yours. I think this matter is beneficial to you. If you think it is harmful rather than beneficial, I will tell Mr. Xu that you are preparing for the exam and decline him politely."

Luo Xin then shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter what the pros and cons are. Now I don't have any fame, I'm just an ordinary citizen. As the saying goes, being unofficial is easy, so it doesn't matter if I get in touch."

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 Luzu Hall, three rooms wide, square and square, very magnificent.Luo Xin followed Luo Qing through Luzu Hall and entered the courtyard behind the hall.The courtyard is built according to the orientation of the Eight Diagrams, and has distinct Taoist architectural features.

The pavilions are patchwork, with twists and turns, wandering here, Luo Xin can't help but sigh that there is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark willows and flowers.

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

The two of them walked up to the attic, and the chatting and laughing inside stopped. Luo Xin glanced away and saw three people sitting on it, and he knew all three of them, one was Mr. Xia Yong, the general under the general soldier, and the third person is a literati wearing a Confucian shirt, about 40 years old, with three long beards, and the whole person looks thin.

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

Facing the gazes of the three people at this moment, Luo Qing first walked up and saluted respectfully: "See Mr. Commander, General Xia, Mr. Xu."

Luo Xin also walked up, bowed and said: "The student has met Master Bai, Master Xia, and Mr. Xu."

It stands to reason that the current Luo Xin has no fame, so he should bow down when he sees three people with official positions.However, Luo Xin from later generations was not used to bowing down, and all three of them were wearing casual clothes.At the same time, the three of them also knew that it was only a matter of time before Luo Xin became famous, so naturally they would not bother with such trivial matters.

"Mr. Luo is very polite, we warriors are not good at such politeness, please take your seat." Bai Zongbing said with a smile.

Luo Xin apologized, stepped up to an empty seat and sat down.Silent, gentle and elegant.

Mr. Xu looked at Luo Xin with great interest, and when he saw Luo Xin's calm and elegant expression, there was a look of approval in his eyes, and he said with a smile:
"Young Master Luo, I've heard of your name for a long time!"

Luo Xin really had never heard of the name Xu Haoran, but since he could be Ma Fang's aide, it shouldn't be easy.Hearing Xu Haoran's praise, Luo Xin showed a humble look on his face and said:

"Mr. Xu's reputation is too high. The student is just a person who has just started taking the scientific examination. How can he get his reputation?"

"Hahaha..." Xu Haoran laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Luo is too modest, not to mention that you just won the first place in the county examination. Just say that the two poems you wrote "Autumn in the Taoyuan" and "Fishing in the Cold River" are impressive. The old man admires it."

Luo Xin showed a shy smile, but said nothing.Xu Haoran showed interest on his face and said:

"Your Yansuo Pond Liu came up with the second couplet?"
