Long County, in the middle of Ma Mansion, in the backyard.
Ma Teng's expression was stern, and he danced with the Xuantian Breaking Gun in his hand, stirring up several streaks of gunfire in the air and creating a gust of gunfire.
For a moment, the wind roared in my ears. The sharp wind blew across the stone slabs, leaving imprints on the stone slabs immediately.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the spear dancing in Ma Chao's hand stopped. The whistling wind around him stopped. At a glance, he could see traces of spears scratching on the ground.
A breath of turbid breath slowly came out, Ma Chao held the Yangtze River pestle in his hand, the look in his eyes was still cold.
Bang bang bang...
There was a burst of applause, and a figure walked in from the entrance gate of the backyard, but it was a burly man.
The visitor's name is Ma Dai, and he is Ma Chao's younger brother (cousin).
"My elder brother's sharp shooting skills really impress my younger brother. He's really good at dancing with this set of guns."
"It's just that although my brother's marksmanship is good, it is too fierce. This is not in line with my usual fighting method."
"It seems that brother's heart has not calmed down yet!" Ma Dai spoke out.
Ma Chao didn't answer. When he looked at Ma Dai, his sharp eyes softened a lot at this moment.
"The old man still isn't going to let me go?" Ma Chao asked.
Ma Dai was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied: "Uncle didn't let go, but a spy sent news that uncle wrote a letter and sent it in the name of his eldest brother."
"I think it has already been sent to the hussar general. Now, it just depends on whether the hussar general is willing to come and save my brother."
Hearing this, Ma Chao was stunned and his eyes widened, but he thought of something in an instant.
He is Ma Teng's son, so he naturally knows what kind of character his father is.
It is precisely because of this that he can basically guess the meaning of what his father did.
This is a naked conspiracy to invite the lord here!
"Does the old man use me as a bargaining chip?" Ma Chao said coldly with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"It's not just a bargaining chip. Although I don't know what my uncle wants to do, I can feel that my uncle cares about my eldest brother. In doing so, he may not be thinking of helping his eldest brother."
Ma Dai smiled bitterly and explained for his uncle.
Unexpectedly, Ma Chao couldn't listen at all. He turned his head away and hummed: "What the old guy is thinking, even if you don't say it, I can probably guess it."
"No matter what he wants to do, if the old guy wants to use me to deal with the master, Chao will sever the father-son relationship with him!"
"Old guy, I know you are hiding in the dark and can hear me. This is not a threat, but a solemn message to you!"
A low roar sounded throughout the backyard and fell in Ma Dai's ears. Ma Dai shook his head with a wry smile, then silently took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and placed it on the stone table nearby.
"Brother, this is today's antidote, it can relieve brother's pain."
After saying that, Ma Dai turned around and left without any hesitation.
However, before Ma Dai walked out of the backyard, he heard a low roar in the air, like a muffled thunder exploding, ringing in his ears.
That's...
Xiao Wen’s voice!
The lord is here!
An idea flashed through Ma Chao's mind. Ma Chao immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. He picked up the Xuantian Dome-Breaking Gun and rushed out.
However, as soon as he took two steps out, he saw Ma Dai standing in front of him.
"Get out of the way!" Ma Chao stared at Ma Dai, eyes burning with anger, and shouted.
Ma Dai shook his head and smiled bitterly, and replied: "Brother, it's not that I'm trying to make things difficult for my younger brother, but my uncle has an order for me to stay in the house. As for your lord, his uncle will come to entertain him, so don't worry, brother!"
"
"Let or die!"
Ma Chao narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted sternly. He pointed the spear forward and pointed directly at the door in front of Ma Dai, but he was already ready for battle.
The bitter smile on Ma Dai's face became stronger and stronger. He shook his head repeatedly and said: "Brother, why bother? You are highly poisonous. Even if you have the antidote given by your uncle, it can only relieve your physical pain. You
The power within the body is still sealed."
"With all your strength, you can't beat me!"
"Then try it! Today, either I will go out from here vertically, or I will go out horizontally!"
Ma Chao didn't show any signs of weakness. He shouted lowly and his eyes flashed, obviously he had made up his mind.
"Brother, please don't embarrass Brother Cong. Brother Cong just listened to his father's orders and had to carry them out."
"Brother, how about you just stay in the house and I find a chance to sneak out and help you find out the news?"
"You must not break into the house. My father's health is not good. If he gets angry over this again, what will we, the five brothers and sisters, do?"
"You do the same, cousin. You also know my eldest brother's temper, so don't fight. We all take a step back. We are all a family. What's the fuss about?"
Just when Ma Chao and Ma Dai were facing each other tit for tat, and a fight was about to break out, there were two bursts of rapid footsteps, and it was Ma Chao's younger brothers, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, who arrived.
Ma Teng had three sons and one daughter in his life.
Among them, the three sons are Ma Chao, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie.
One daughter is Ma Yunlu.
Ma Dai is Ma Teng's nephew and has been following Ma Teng all these years. Although he and Ma Chao are not real brothers, they are better than real brothers.
As soon as these two people arrived, they started to break up the fight.
We are all a family, so why bother to use knives and guns if we just say it behind closed doors?
In a few words and several attempts to comfort him, the atmosphere between the two people relaxed.
Ma Chao's eyes fell on Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, glanced at them a few times, then moved away, fell on Ma Dai, and said: "Although I can't trust that old guy, I can trust you!"
"This time, I believe you. I will go to the backyard and wait for news."
"But... can you two guys leave the house? If I remember correctly, you were grounded by the old man like me, right?"
"Brother, look what you said, although the three of us are grounded, isn't my cousin not grounded?"
"Brother Dai, find an opportunity to sneak out and have a chat. Anyway, dad just wants you to guard your eldest brother and not leave the house."
"Although eldest brother can't go out, brother Dai, you can bring news in, can't you?" Matthew rubbed his hands and looked at Ma Dai hopefully.
Ma Dai was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, finally understanding what the two brothers were planning.
"No, I will stay in my position, pursue my own affairs, and fulfill my responsibilities! I will not leave Ma Mansion for a single step!"
Ma Dai said seriously. After finishing speaking, he seemed to remember something and added:
"However, I heard that the fourth sister is going to buy rouge and gouache today. She reported to my uncle yesterday. If it is correct, she should be leaving the house soon."
"If you guys are smarter, you might be able to catch up."
