Chapter 1166 Meet Again
Chen Yixin couldn't help but sigh. He could actually think of the reason why Ma Yuling made such a choice after escaping from Majiazhuang. Ma Yuling did not want to follow the family's arrangements and accept the marriage, so she secretly ran away from home. However, the half-joking words she just said probably really scared her. The little girl was worried that her family would be persecuted for this. , how can I hide outside with peace of mind. Moreover, her identity has been exposed. If she does not want Chen Yixin and others who kindly took her in to be dragged into the water, she can only return to Majiazhuang as soon as possible to eliminate this trouble before it breaks out.
Seeing Chen Yixin's silence, Ma Yuling thought that the other party was worried about her future situation. She forced herself to smile and said: "Brother Chen, don't worry about the little girl. She has been taken in these few days. The little girl is already grateful." If we are destined to meet again in the future, we will have the opportunity to meet again..."
Having said this, Ma Yuling also felt sour in her heart. She would marry this person's boss from now on. Even if she meets him again, the other person may only look groveling in front of her. It will be difficult to sit and talk face to face like now. .
Chen Yixin's mood was a bit complicated at this time. Of course, he could choose to confess his identity to Ma Yuling, or even immediately tell her to cancel the undecided marriage. However, the consequences of doing so may make the situation unmanageable and most likely damage the reputation of the other party. The most appropriate way to deal with it at the moment is indeed as Ma Yuling said, let her return to Majiazhuang quietly first, and try not to have anything to do with him, otherwise it will be mentioned in the future that this Miss Majia lived in Majiazhuang before the blind date. After entering the Haihan camp, no matter whether the two parties are married or not, this matter cannot be explained clearly.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yixin decided to put the overall situation first, and said in a deep voice: "Then I will send someone to take you back overnight, but after you go back, don't tell your family where they have been in the past few days, just say that you are returning to Majiazhuang. You met our transport team on the way and begged them to send you back.”
Ma Yuling nodded and said: "This little girl will never implicate Brother Chen. This matter should be kept secret."
When Chen Yixin saw that Ma Yuling had misunderstood him, he could only respond with a bitter smile. After all, the other party was just a teenage girl who had just entered high school in the era before the time travel. How could he have thought so deeply and thought so far. If he explains too much, he will appear to be too small. Anyway, everything will be revealed tomorrow, and he is not in a hurry to explain it now.
Chen Yixin immediately asked Ma Yuling to go back to her residence to pack her luggage, then called her security squad leader in and gave him these instructions. His identity was sensitive and he could not personally escort Ma Yuling back, so this errand could only be left to his subordinates.
After a while, Chen Yixin said goodbye to Ma Yuling at the gate of the camp. He also specially mobilized a covered carriage for this purpose. Although it was a cargo vehicle, it was better than letting Ma Yuling complete the ten-mile journey from the mine to Majiazhuang on foot or on horseback. Mile Road is much easier. Coupled with the escort of a team of soldiers with live ammunition, there should be no problem in terms of safety.
"Be careful along the way!" Chen Yixin knew that they would probably meet again tomorrow, so he didn't have too much parting emotion and just said it lightly.
Ma Yuling was not as relaxed as he was. She knew that if she said goodbye today, her fate with this young officer would be over. Although she could not say how deep her personal relationship was, she was rescued by him in times of crisis, and he was After knowing her identity, she did not report it, but silently covered her whereabouts. This was enough to make her grateful. I'm afraid it will be difficult to repay this favor owed during times of adversity.
Ma Yuling gritted her teeth, took out a small thing from her luggage, mustered up the courage to step forward, put the thing into Chen Yixin's hand, and said in a tone that could not be refused: "Brother Chen's kindness, this little girl can't think of it." If you want to repay it, I will replace it with this. Brother Chen, please don’t say goodbye today. Take care of yourself!”
After Ma Yuling finished speaking, she turned around and got on the carriage without looking back at Chen Yixin. Chen Yixin slowly raised his hand, and in his hand was the sandalwood fan with a pearl pendant hanging on it, with a faint fragrance coming out. Chen Yixin sighed and gestured to the soldiers waiting beside him, indicating that they could set off.
Chen Yixin suddenly found himself in a very difficult situation again. Today he was acting as Ma Yuling's protector, but if he went to Majiazhuang tomorrow and met Ma Yuling, he would have to reveal his true identity. Wouldn't it be very embarrassing then? If the other party misunderstood that he had been hiding his identity and teasing her, then this would be a bit unclear.
Looking at the sandalwood fan in his hand, Chen Yixin sighed heavily again. He suddenly realized that he might have sighed more times today than in the past month combined. Having only been with this Miss Ma family for two or three days, Chen Yixin felt that the pressure on him was already greater than when the Dengzhou Ming army attacked a few days ago.
Ma Dongqiang had a bad night. After trying his best to explain the cause and effect to Sun Zhen, the only reply he received was "Follow the decision of the leader." Even with words, he did not get more understanding from the other party. In addition, Sun Zhen's troops had sealed off the inside and outside of Ma's house for safety reasons, and prohibited the Ma family from leaving the house, so he had nothing else to do except go back to his room and wait for news.
Jiang Sheng stayed with Sun Zhen, acting as peacemaker and microphone. The two soldiers Sun Zhen sent back to deliver the message during dinner rushed back two hours later. The news they brought back made the Ma family feel a little more at ease.
"Will Chief Chen come to Majiazhuang tomorrow?" When Ma Dongqiang heard the news brought by Jiang Sheng, his expression finally softened a little: "Fortunately, the marriage was not finalized before, otherwise this matter would be very troublesome!"< br>
Ma Dongqiang knew very well that the current relationship between Haihan and the Ma family was not based on marriage, but the other party's intention to support one or two obedient agents in Fushan County. The marriage was purely out of Ma Dongqiang's desire to kidnap someone. The plan proposed to determine the relationship between the two parties, but the other party does not value this dispensable link. Since Chen Yixin said that he would come to Majiazhuang to meet as agreed, it means that he has not yet become disgusted with the Ma family because of this unexpected situation. As long as the two parties can meet, there will still be many things to discuss. Even if Chen Yixin is dissatisfied with the marriage that is about to be aborted before it is confirmed, Ma Dongqiang believes that as long as the benefits are in place, there is still a chance to save it.
As for Ma Yuling's true whereabouts, Ma Dongqiang no longer wants to think about it anymore. After searching for three days, there is no news. There is probably no hope before Chen Yixin comes to Majiazhuang. If Ma Dongqiang has any regrets, he certainly does, but now he no longer cares about spending time regretting this decision. Instead, he wants to make up for the rift with Haihan as soon as possible.
Jiang Sheng repeatedly said yes, and Ma Dongqiang asked again: "Is Master Sun's attitude gentler?"
"It's much better than before." Jiang Sheng thought of Sun Zhen's angry appearance before, but still had lingering fear in his heart: "I just asked the kitchen to make a late-night snack for the Haihan people, and I thought it was better not to hit the smiling person. It's not good to treat us again. Lost his temper.”
"It's fine." Ma Dongqiang nodded and said, "I've been very tired these days. Go get some sleep first, otherwise you won't be energetic tomorrow. You should rest early when you're done!"
The two of them finally solved the biggest crisis at the moment. They were both too sleepy, so they went back to their rooms to sleep. When Ma Dongqiang was sleeping in a daze, someone knocked on the door outside the house and asked him to get up. Ma Dongqiang put on his coat, got out of bed, opened the door, and angrily yelled: "It's not even bright yet, why are you screaming!"
The servant hurriedly responded: "Master...little...miss is back!"
Ma Dongqiang suddenly woke up from his drowsiness: "Where is he?"
"We've already entered the front yard..." Before the servant could finish speaking, Ma Dongqiang had already shoved him aside and hurried towards the front yard.
Ma Dongqiang went to the front yard and saw that in addition to his daughter Ma Yuling, the yard was already full of Haihan soldiers, and even Sun Zhen had come out. Sun Zhen stopped Ma Dongqiang: "Is this your daughter?"
"Exactly..." Ma Dongqiang was waiting to confirm his daughter's condition, but Sun Zhen spoke again: "Don't be busy scolding your daughter now. If you have anything to say, wait until you see the chief tomorrow. You go back to the house to rest first, and your daughter As long as our female soldiers take care of you, everything will be fine.”
At this time, Jiang Dongmei also came after hearing the news, but she also did not get permission to have direct contact with Ma Yuling, and was forcibly driven back to her residence.
In fact, this measure was not included in the instructions issued by Chen Yixin. This was entirely Sun Zhen's on-the-spot reaction after seeing Ma Yuling. After he confirmed her identity from the Haihan soldiers who escorted Ma Yuling, he knew that the little girl probably entered the military camp by mistake that day, and Chen Yixin probably found out after reading the missing person notice he sent back. Her true identity. Only then did Sun Zhen remember why he felt a sense of déjà vu when he saw the missing person notice.
Sun Zhen didn't know what happened to Ma Yuling and Chen Yixin in the mining camp. Chen Yixin would send someone to bring her back overnight. If there was something fishy in this that the Ma family couldn't immediately know about, they had to control the situation first. Just fine. So he drove away Ma Yuling's family first, and then asked Ma Yuling what happened after clearing the place.
But Ma Yuling said nothing and went back to her room with her large bags of luggage. Now that he knew her identity, Sun Zhen naturally did not dare to yell at her, so he could only ask the female soldiers to check on her to avoid any further accidents. I turned around and asked the people who escorted Ma Yuling back to Majiazhuang, but they didn't know the content of the conversation between Chen Yixin and Ma Yuling. Sun Zhen knew that he could only wait for Chen Yixin to reveal the secret on his own, so he stopped asking any more questions and arranged for the team escorting Ma Yuling to stay.
Early the next morning, Majiazhuang was busy up and down. After the snow that had fallen in the past two days melted, the road in and out of the village became muddy. Ma Dongqiang organized hundreds of young people to hurriedly pull loess gravel from nearby and temporarily repaired the road. Not long after it was completed, the Haihan team from the mining camp arrived.
Ma Dongqiang, Jiang Sheng, and the elders in the clan were waiting at the entrance of the village to welcome Chen Yixin and his party. Chen Yixin had already been to Majiazhuang once and had met all these people, so he didn't have any airs. He got off his horse and walked over to meet Ma Dongqiang and others from a distance, and then entered Majiazhuang together.
Ma Dongqiang had been busy early in the morning and hadn't had time to see his daughter yet, so he didn't know that Ma Yuling was actually escorted back by Chen Yixin yesterday. After the two parties sat down, he hurriedly expressed his merit: "Thanks to Chief Chen's blessing, my little girl returned home safely last night."
Chen Yixin nodded noncommittally and said: "As long as everything is fine. Let's talk about business first. I mentioned it before when I came here. The winter months are the slack season for farming, and there are many young people in Majiazhuang. It is also leisure to be idle like this. "Well, why don't you organize it and come to the mine to work for us? We can provide food and accommodation here, and the wages are calculated on a per-person basis. What do you think, Mr. Ma?"
"Actually, if it hadn't snowed a few days ago, the village would have organized people to go there. Don't worry, Chief Chen, this matter will be dealt with later." Ma Dongqiang patted his chest and agreed very quickly, hoping to take advantage of this rare opportunity to earn a good performance.
In addition to marriage, the two parties naturally have more important transactions to discuss. Before that, Ma Yuling's marriage was just a pretext for Ma Dongqiang to win over Chen Yixin. Both parties knew this very well, so neither party made the marriage the focus of the talks. From a certain perspective, without cooperation in these matters, the marriage between the two parties would not be very necessary.
The meeting between the two parties lasted for more than an hour. Seeing that it was almost noon, Ma Dongqiang offered to let Chen Yixin go see his daughter Ma Yuling. Although Chen Yixin was in a dilemma, he had already promised the Ma family before. When things came to a close, he couldn't refuse anymore, so he nodded and agreed. At that moment, Ma Dongqiang personally led the way to the yard where Ma Yuling lived.
There are still Haihan soldiers guarding the entrance of the courtyard. From last night to now, Ma's family has not been allowed to enter the courtyard. Ma Dongqiang felt self-conscious and stopped when he reached the entrance to let Chen Yixin enter by himself.
Chen Yixin pushed the door in and saw Ma Yuling in a fur coat standing with her back to him in the courtyard. When two female soldiers saw Chen Yixin coming in, they quickly saluted him: "Chief!"
Chen Yixin nodded and gestured for them to go out first. After the female soldier left the yard, he coughed dryly to indicate his presence.
Ma Yuling slowly turned around, her eyes gleaming when she saw Chen Yixin, but then she looked to the left and right as if she was looking for something.
"Miss Ma, we meet again." Chen Yixin took the lead in greeting her.
Ma Yuling said in a panic: "Why did you come in alone? Where is your boss?"
Chen Yixin responded: "You mean Chen Yixin?"
"Didn't he come?" Ma Yuling asked nervously.
"Then do you want him to come or not?"
"I...I hope he never comes!"
Chen Yixin responded awkwardly: "Since you don't want to see this person so much, then... I'll leave first."
"You..." Ma Yuling suddenly understood something: "So you are Chen Yixin!"
