In the territory, Xiao Wen did not stop after returning to the territory. He immediately recruited Ma Chao and asked Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others to take care of things in the city, while he took Ma Chao to Ma Teng's station.
In the mansion, Xiao Wen saw Ma Teng and the Xiliang prefect.
"Why is the general free to come here today?" Ma Teng saw Xiao Wen, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Apparently he did not expect to see Xiao Wen here.
After all, didn’t this hussar general go to Luoyang a few days ago?
Why are you back so soon?
Moreover, at this point in time, shouldn't it be a time when the late emperor dies of illness, his ministers keep vigil at his funeral, and the whole country mourns?
However, based on the emperor's actions during his lifetime, I'm afraid only the ministers in Kyoto would openly abide by those ancestral precepts, right?
We, the powerful people in the local area, will not look down on them at all.
"I'm here for you, sir. I have something to ask you." Xiao Wen looked at Ma Teng and asked aloud, but he didn't hide anything.
matter?
Ma Teng raised his eyebrows, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and after thinking about it in his mind, he did not expect what Xiao Wen was about to ask.
"General, please speak."
"I would like to ask your Excellency, has anything special happened in Xiliang these days? Or is there an unidentified person who sneaked into Xiliang?" Xiao Wen asked.
Med's news only pointed out that the group of guys from southern Xinjiang would be coming soon. As for whether they had already arrived, Med did not say.
Come to think of it, that little fat guy didn't know either.
Otherwise, he should have discerned the plans of those guys from Dongning Pavilion and followed Dongning Pavilion to Xiliang to search for the Ancestral Dragon's Cave, instead of guarding Kyoto in Luoyang and waiting for opportunities to seek benefits.
"Something special? According to the information I received, Xiliang has been very peaceful these days, except for the news that the emperor died of illness from Luoyang."
"The old emperor died of illness and the new emperor ascended the throne. Many aristocratic families in Xiliang have some ideas, but they are just some ideas. With me, Han Sui, and Lord Dong Zhuo here, these guys don't dare to
rash."
"Moreover, Xiliang has just gone through the Xiqiang Rebellion and has just been cleansed. I think those aristocratic families who came here now know that they are safe and have a good idea." Ma Teng said.
He only asked Xiao Wen whether anyone in Xiliang was rebellious during the new emperor's reign.
Xiao Wen was stunned for a moment, then he guessed that the other party might have wrong intentions, but he didn't defend himself, he just nodded and said: "That's good, that's good."
"As for the unidentified people that the general said, there are no such people these days. Our people and Dong Zhuo's people alternately guarded the pass, and we did not see the unidentified people that the general said."
After saying that, Ma Teng seemed to have thought of something, and added: "Of course, it is not ruled out that some people with ulterior motives will avoid the official road, go deep into the mountains, and enter Xiliang in order to avoid our attention.
.”
Yeah?
Xiao Wen raised his eyebrows, feeling a little enlightened in his heart.
He came here because he wanted to find Ma Teng and find out the whereabouts of those people from southern Xinjiang.
However, judging from the information given by Ma Teng, it seems that that group of people has not arrived yet.
This is normal.
After all, traveling from southern Xinjiang to Xiliang is not an easy task.
Not to mention that these people still need to avoid interrogation on the way and hide their identities.
Under the current situation, it is not easy for forces outside of China to enter China.
As for myself, after receiving the message, I listened to the teleportation array and sent it back, saving a lot of time.
It's a pity that this kind of directional teleportation array cannot be built on a large scale and over a large area, otherwise it would save a lot of time.
Xiao Wen complained in his heart, but his eyes fell on Ma Teng again. After pondering for a moment, he said: "I have a merciless request, sir."
Xiao Wen raised his head, looked at Ma Teng, and said slowly.
Hearing this, Ma Teng raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise on his face.
An unkind request?
"General, it doesn't matter, as long as I can help you, I won't refuse," Ma Teng said.
"I would like to use the Qilian Mountain Military Camp under your command."
As soon as these words came out, Ma Teng's expression froze and his expression became serious at this moment.
Qilian Mountain Military Camp!
That was an important source of his Xiliang cavalry. In layman's terms, it was a cavalry training and war horse breeding base.
It can be said that most of the cavalry regiments under his command came from this place.
"Father, are you in trouble?" Seeing his father's delay in replying, Ma Chao frowned and asked aloud.
He was reminding his father not to be stupid.
Hearing Ma Chao's voice, Ma Teng raised his head with a wry smile on his face and said: "It's not that I'm embarrassed, I'm just thinking about how to reply to the general."
"I am willing to hand over the Qilian Mountain Military Camp. Not to mention that it is only a short-term control. Even if I give it to the general, I will not give it up."
"It's just that there seems to be something special happening in the Qilian Mountains these days."
"There is news that the number of wild beasts in the mountains has increased, and there have been mutations. Some wild beasts, even fourth-level military generals cannot kill them and can only force them away."
Ma Teng said, with a look of helplessness on his face.
He didn't want to have a grudge against Xiao Wen because of this trivial matter.
After all, he felt that the hussar general was a trustworthy ally.
Especially, his son is still under the command of this general and is highly used.
Hearing this, Xiao Wen raised his eyebrows, and there was a faint flash of strange color in his eyes.
What Ma Teng said just now seemed to unintentionally prove that the Ancestral Dragon's Cave would appear in the Qilian Mountains.
The Ancestral Dragon's Cave is the mausoleum of the ancestral dragon, a mausoleum placed in the dragon's veins.
There are important secrets hidden in this mausoleum. It is said that if you open the mausoleum, you can get the secret of unifying the world.
This also caused countless capable people and strangers to search for the Ancestral Dragon's Cave in the early Han Dynasty, but in the end no one found it.
Even in Xiao Wen's deduction dream, so many emperor-level beings suppressed the world, but no one could open the Ancestral Dragon's Cave.
Therefore, the existence of the Ancestral Dragon's Cave is a secret, a secret that no one can touch!
Wherever the blood of the ancestral dragon appears, it will often be accompanied by turbulence in the dragon's veins and surges of spiritual energy, pouring into the ferocious beasts in the mountains and causing them to mutate, resulting in the appearance of strange beasts like the flying tiger.
Now, with Ma Teng's words, Xiao Wen can be sure that the Ancestral Dragon's Cave will indeed appear in the Qilian Mountains.
"It doesn't matter. Your Excellency's words just confirm one of my general's conjectures. Perhaps, I need to thank you, Your Excellency." Xiao Wen said with a smile.
Ma Teng even said he didn't dare, took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Wen.
"General, this is my personal token. When the general takes this to Qilian Mountain, he can take over the Qilian Mountain military camp."
"It's just that there are many ferocious beasts in the mountains, so please be careful, general."
