() Before the heavy snow blocked the main road in Xiliang, the Ma brothers finally returned to Long County with their troops.

When he saw his two sons returning safely with their troops, Ma Teng finally felt relieved. Although leaving Ma Yue and the others in Chang'an was planned and prepared, in the end the father and son united and returned to Xiliang.

Ma Teng was naturally extremely concerned, worried that something might happen to them in Chang'an. This made Ma Teng feel uneasy after returning here. He sent people out to investigate from time to time, and it was only then that he saw his two sons rushing away.

return.

Of course, as the leader of an army, Ma Teng was not only worried about what might happen to his son in the Central Plains, but he was also worried about his current situation, so he kept looking forward to their return. Because after bringing the troops back from the Central Plains,

Generals like Li Que took their respective subordinates and left one after another. Now they stayed with Ma Teng, guarding Long County with only a few thousand troops.

In Xiliang, a place where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong, with only a few thousand men and horses at his disposal, but facing so many forces with evil intentions and who can't tell the difference between friends and foes, Ma Teng naturally couldn't live his life in peace. Until he saw Ma Yue and the others.

More than 10,000 people returned in unison, and Ma Teng finally felt relieved.

"Father!" As soon as the Ma brothers entered the city gate, they dismounted from their horses and saluted their father, and then said, "It's really uneasy for me to have my father worry about us here at these times!"

"Get up, you are all taking risks outside for your father, and it is right for your father to worry about your safety." Ma Teng smiled and stepped forward to help his two sons up. Then he looked at the jings lined up in front of him.

The sharp soldier held up his hands and said, "It's really hard for you to let everyone risk staying in Chang'an this time. If you can come back and fulfill your mission this time, I, Ma Teng, will definitely not treat you badly in the future."

"We swear to share the honor and disgrace, life and death with the general!" These soldiers replied immediately, full of passion. But it was because they had received a lot of benefits in Chang'an, and Ma Yue had already distributed part of the property to

They, that's why they follow the Ma family so wholeheartedly.

"Okay! You guys have been working hard from afar, so you should take more rest in the military camp these two days. And you two, you must not have had a good rest these days. Your mother is worried to death, so go home now.

." Ma Teng then looked at his two sons and said with concern.

"Yes. The child indeed misses his mother very much. He has not been with his mother for two years to fulfill his filial piety. This time he finally has the opportunity to spend more time with his mother." Ma Yue said with a smile.

In this way, the two Ma brothers handed over the army to Ma Teng and others, and they rode on their horses and continued to Longxian City. Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar city, Ma Yue realized that he did have something

It's been a long time since I've spent any time here.

In the previous year, he followed Dong Zhuo into the Central Plains, so naturally there was no chance of him coming back. And even earlier, he had always been with Dong Zhuo in Lintao City, and it was rare for him to come back to see his parents once a year. In addition,

In fact, he had not been in Long County for a long time. Not long after he came to this world, a series of things happened, so it can be said that his impression of this small town was a little blurry at this time.

However, Ma Chao next to him did not feel this way. He did not look around for the past feeling like his younger brother, but said thoughtfully: "Second brother, have you noticed it? Father, look

He seems to be full of worries, as if there is some problem. Why do you think he is like this?" As he grows older and has more experience, Ma Chao is no longer as foolhardy as before.

Seeing things more clearly.

Ma Yue glanced at his brother and said with a smile: "I just came back from the Central Plains like you, and I am not the roundworm in my father's belly. How can I know why he is troubled? If you want to know, ask then.

It will be clear if you ask father."

"No, you must have seen some clues when you answered like this, so you should tell me quickly." Ma Chao was not fooled. He and Ma Yue had a very good relationship, and naturally the other party's thoughts could not be hidden from him.

Seeing this, Ma Yue had to smile bitterly and shake his head: "Because I just came back, now is not the time to say those depressing words. But since you can see it, I will say it straight. Didn't you find out when you entered the city that

Is the strength of the garrison very weak? Also, the number of residents in this city does not seem to be much greater than before. What does this mean? "

"You mean... those guys who said they would respect their father as their leader have broken their promise and left. And the people from the Central Plains who we have spent a lot of effort to move here have also been taken away by them?" At this point,

Ma Chao's eyes suddenly flashed with anger, and his hands on the reins tightened even more.

Ma Yue nodded helplessly: "I think that's it. This was actually what I expected. They were not willing to submit to their father, and we brought most of the people out at that time, so naturally they didn't

No worries. As for those people, no one in Xiliang who wants to make a difference will give up. It is reasonable for them to take advantage of their father's inability to fight with them and take away all the people.

matter."

"It's really too much!" Ma Chao couldn't help but groaned. If those generals were in front of him at this time, he would definitely kill them all without hesitation! Then he gritted his teeth and said: "These treacherous bastards

, it’s a pity that we did so many things for them, but in the end we got them in vain!”

"This is the most direct stake. They just chose a course that is most beneficial to them, so we can't ask them to make sacrifices for us." Ma Yue just said calmly, neither happy nor angry.

At this time, Ma Chao saw his younger brother's appearance, and suddenly his heart moved: "You have expected this result, but you never pointed it out. Could it be that you... already have a way to deal with it?"

"Since they have done such a thing, they will definitely receive the punishment they deserve. The soldiers and civilians of Xiliang have all seen how many things our Ma family has done, but in the end they were abandoned by these people. They will suffer it when the time comes."

Yue smiled confidently, and then said: "But now is not the time for us to fight back. Now we have just returned from the Central Plains

After coming out of the chaos of war, what is most needed is to recuperate rather than re-ignite civil strife. And now that the heavy snow is about to completely cut off the roads in Xiliang, even if we want to avenge this, we have to wait until next year. So what we should do now is

Yes, let’s wait, wait for everyone to slow down, wait for the right time and place to start moving towards us.”

When Ma Chao saw that his brother had already talked about this, it was natural that he could not ask any more questions. Moreover, they had talked all the way to the door of the house. It was time to visit their mother next. Of course, it was not suitable to talk about these heavy topics.

.

Mr. Ma was naturally concerned about his two sons who were away from home. Now that they had returned safely, he was overjoyed. He kept asking them about their experiences abroad and whether they were used to the life in the Central Plains. Did they endure hardship there?

. To this, the two brothers answered patiently one by one.

Perhaps for a man, building a career is the first priority, and life, death and family can be put aside. But for a woman, especially when she is a wife and mother, the family becomes the most important thing in her heart.

Her husband and son don't have to have much potential, as long as they are healthy and by her side, she is very satisfied.

But this time, the Ma family and his son went to the Central Plains one after another, and they were still enemies with many people. Naturally, Ma was even more worried. After asking a lot of questions and talking about some things at home, Ma finally thought of it.

The two sons had just returned home from Long County, so they smiled and said: "Okay, you are all back. From now on, we three will also have time to talk, so you can all go back to your own courtyard to rest. Chao'er

, you and your wife have been married for a while, but you haven’t given birth to a son and a half for me yet. When you come back this time, don’t just worry about big things anymore, this incense thing is not a small matter."

"Yes, I understand, kid." Ma Chao smiled bitterly, but he still agreed. He and his wife actually have a good relationship, but he only wants to build a career, so he has nothing to do, because his mother has urged him to

Many times, she mentioned it again when she came back this time, which made Ma Chao quite embarrassed.

Ma Yue also glanced at his mother with some worry, fearing that she might tell him about getting married. After all, he has not gotten married yet. But for a person with two thousand years of thinking about future generations, a twenty-year-old

Young people who are young should not get married. Of course, Ma Yue doesn't want to propose marriage so soon.

But today, Ma didn't mention this issue. He just smiled at Ma Yue with some meaning: "Yue'er, you should go back and rest quickly."

"Yes, kid, please leave!" The two Ma brothers exited their mother's bedroom and came outside. After saying that their mother's attitude towards the two brothers was unfair, Ma Chao broke up with his brothers. And Ma Yue

Then he returned to his small courtyard with a trace of doubt.

Arriving at the small courtyard, Ma Yue found that nothing had changed when he left a year ago, and the small courtyard was still very clean, which made him very emotional. It seemed that his mother had deliberately asked the servants to clean it.

. But as soon as he entered the courtyard gate and came to the house in front of him, he was suddenly startled. A slim woman wearing a white fur coat was walking out of the house. When she saw him, she was also stunned.

stay.

"Slave Diao Chan has seen the young master!" When the woman saw Ma Yue, her face suddenly showed joy, and then she blushed again, but she quickly reacted and bowed down to him to say hello. This woman was Wang Yun
