Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan and Ma Chao had a conversation. During this period, Ma Xiaoquan analyzed the current war situation to Ma Chao and hinted at Ma Chao's next way out... When Han Sui woke up, Ma Xiaoquan had already
leave......
Han Sui couldn't figure it out. Why did the Immortal Marquis just leave today after he was so busy talking about what he wanted to do last night? Did he not want a son?
Rubbing his swollen temples, Han Sui ordered to the left and right: "Go and search carefully to see if the son of Shenxian Hou has been captured by us."
"yes!"
Seeing his men bowing and retreating, Han Sui took a breath and slowly unfolded the letter left for him by the Immortal Marquis.
"Yeah." Han Sui was speechless for a moment after seeing the contents of the letter, but then he thought about it carefully and found that the contents of the letter from the Immortal Marquis were very reasonable.
"Meng Qi, take a look at it too!" Han Sui handed the letter from the Immortal Marquis to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao took the letter and read it again, frowning and said: "Uncle Han, it seems that the Marquis' son is really not here?"
Han Sui nodded and said, "I don't know whether he is there or not. We will find out after a while."
...
At night, his subordinates went into the tent and reported that they had interrogated all the small and young prisoners and found nothing suspicious.
"Uh." After listening to his men's report, Han Sui sighed heavily and said to the generals in the tent, "This Immortal Marquis is so lucky. He knows the truth without even looking at it...
Meng Qi, I heard that the Immortal Marquis has another nickname, what is it called?"
Ma Chao answered: "Master Shangxian!"
Han Sui nodded: "Yes, yes, it's Lord Immortal, um...but why does he look so young?"
Ma Chao added: "Because Lord Immortal will not grow old."
Han Sui let out an oh, trembled, and then murmured in his heart: How does Ma Chao know so much? Could it be that the successive defeats of our coalition forces were caused by this kid secretly causing a stumbling block? Well, the Immortal Marquis and Cao Thief are the stumbling blocks.
Their relationship is unusual, and Ma Chao knows very well about Shenxian Hou, so there must be something wrong with these three people, there must be something wrong with them.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Han Sui's eyes.
Ma Chao didn't think so much. A lot of the information about Lord Shangxian came from the exchange of letters between him and his father Ma Teng. In terms of this information, Ma Chao also showed some of this information to Han Sui.
But Ma Chao never thought that Han Sui would definitely doubt him even if he had seen it, because... Han Sui's relationship with his father Ma Teng was not very good.
...
Having been to Han Sui's side, where is Ma Xiaoquan now after leaving?
It turned out that, judging that his son was probably not with Han Sui, Ma Xiaoquan immediately set out to search aimlessly.
The moment he came out of Han Sui's camp, Ma Xiaoquan exposed Cao Cao's lies, but...compared to before, Ma Xiaoquan was less angry because he remembered something.
The uncle's family has a family tree of the Ma family. Ma Xiaoquan looked through it and found that the second generation head of the family was specifically noted on it.
Taking this as evidence, Ma Xiaoquan believed that his son Ma Zhengyi was definitely not dead and could not die.
Ma Zheng belongs to this era, so Ma Zheng's growth experience will become unchangeable family history. If Ma Zheng dies early, then the entire family may cease to exist. In this way, won't history change?
But... can history be changed?
The answer is absolutely impossible. Even if it is possible, the original will of history will allow it to continue on the established track.
Of course, Ma Xiaoquan was able to understand so clearly because Yuan told him everything.
...
Knowing that his son would never die, Ma Xiaoquan was not anxious.
Since the son was able to finally return home and become the head of the family, he must have encountered some adventures during the days or even years when his son was missing.
"It's interesting..." Ma Xiaoquan laughed and felt better immediately. However, thinking of his son Ma Zheng, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but sigh again.
...
"Ah sneeze" Ma Zheng rubbed his nose and pulled the leather jacket on his body hard.
"What? Is it cold?"
Ma Zheng glanced sideways at the middle-aged man walking in front of him, and nodded gently.
"You are a coward if you are afraid of the cold. Look at me, I am in my forties and still wearing a short coat. Boy, learn from it. I saved your life. If you don't work as my follower for 3 years, I will
I will never forgive you."
Ma Zheng rolled his eyes, looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "Don't worry, if you save me, I will honor our agreement."
The middle-aged man laughed loudly: "What a good boy, you are not afraid of me, and you dare to talk to me head-on. Okay, you said so, three years. If you dare to slip away, I will cut you off."
Ma Zheng sneered, his young face showing a hint of calmness that he shouldn't have at this age, and said: "I have seen a lot of dead people, so I promise you that I promise you, but...
.You also have to promise me something."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and asked with interest: "Tell me about it."
Ma Zhengdao: "It's very simple. I want you to teach me your way of doing things."
"Mine?" The middle-aged man was stunned again, and then burst into laughter.
"Boy, I'm not a gentleman. When I was young, I often did things like murder, arson, and robbery of Japanese women. If I teach you, can you guarantee that you dare to do it?"
After saying this, the middle-aged man murmured in his heart.
The boy behind him was found by him while hunting half a month ago. When he found it, the boy was only half breathing.
The middle-aged man didn't want to save the boy, but seeing that the aura between the boy's brows seemed a bit similar to the person he was afraid of before, after thinking about it, the middle-aged man still rescued Ma Zheng.
I didn't hold much hope at first, after all, this kid only had half a breath left.
The middle-aged man tried to give the boy a bottle of water and forcefully stuffed him with some dry food and dried meat. Unexpectedly, the boy's vitality was extremely tenacious and he miraculously survived.
Just when the middle-aged man was in a daze, Ma Zheng suddenly said: "I promise you murder, arson, robbery, but I'm too young to do those things."
"Haha...it's interesting." The middle-aged man laughed, "Okay, if you have the guts, let's go, haha!"
"Where are we going now?"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment: "Where to go? Let's go for a walk in Hanzhong first. By the way, my name is Wang Dali. What's your boy's name?"
"My name is Ma Zheng!"
"Okay, Ma Zheng. From today on, your name sounds like a decent person, but in fact you are just an evil robber, haha..."
Wang Dali smiled and put his arm around Ma Zheng's young shoulders: "You must be a deserter, right? Looking at the injuries on your body, you must be a deserter?"
Ma Zheng did not explain, but just glanced at Wang Dali silently.
"Bang!" Wang Dali didn't care about Ma Zheng's silence and waved his hand, "Don't worry, what I hate most in my life are those officers and soldiers. Damn it. Speaking of which, those animals have done more than us."
Robbers and thieves are much more terrifying, they are the real fucking robbers!"
Ma Zheng remained silent.
Wang Dali chuckled, changed the topic, and rolled his eyes twice: "Don't worry, since you are following me, we are buddies. Ma Zheng, although I am older than you, I think you are calm.
If you can hold on to your anger, we will be brothers from now on. I used to have an eldest brother, but unfortunately he was burned to death. You have become my brother, and you are the third brother. From now on, I will call you Ma Laosan. How about that?
"
"Ma Laosan?" Ma Zheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly muttered something, thought for a moment, and nodded expressionlessly.
"Okay, haha... Third brother, let's go. Seeing that you haven't recovered yet, we two brothers will do something small today... Do you see, there is a village in front of you, let's steal it
A few chickens to eat, haha..."
Looking in the direction of Wang Dali's finger, Ma Zheng was speechless. Isn't this Zhuangzi the same Zhuangzi that his father brought him here before? Why did he come back after going around in a circle?
...
The two of them walked to the village and passed by a grave. Ma Zheng suddenly stopped.
"Third brother, what's wrong?"
Ma Zheng said nothing, closed his eyes gently, and bowed to the grave.
"Liu Yuan's tomb!" Wang Dali read the four words on the tombstone, "What's wrong? Do you know the person in this tomb?"
Ma Zheng nodded and said: "Second brother, let's change places. The people in this village have saved me before."
Wang Dali curled his lips and nodded: "That's fine, as the so-called thieves have their ways, I'll let this Zhuangzi off, but I'm the third child. I'm afraid we can only eat steamed buns tonight."
