Ma Chao's words were like a bomb detonating in the crowd.
The Wu Feng camp headed by Tai Shi Ci showed angry killing intent and wanted to kill Ma Chao immediately.
Ma Teng's old Liangzhou Jingqi, headed by Pang De, were somewhat regretful and sympathetic.
Pound, in particular, had dull eyes, was severely depressed, and looked like a frost-beaten eggplant.
Ma Chao's words undoubtedly pushed him to a dead end!
Even though Pang De couldn't bear it, he could not change the outcome of Ma Chao's death.
"Good boy, you have courage!"
Liu Zhang had no expression on his face and kept nodding his head.
But doesn’t the current calmness represent the rage in my heart?
When Liu Zhang's anger burst out, no one could save Ma Chao's life!
"Lord!"
At this moment, Fatty Liu Zhang suddenly heard a hurried cry.
Pang De was seen walking directly in front of Liu Zhang with a broadsword in his hand.
It was this action that startled Taishi Ci.
"Pound, what do you want to do!"
Taishi Ci quickly stepped forward and protected Liu Zhang behind him.
Liu Zhang was also very curious. Could it be that Pang De betrayed him because of Ma Chao?
However, Liu Zhang immediately rejected this idea. If Pang De really wanted to betray, he would never wait until now.
Even Ma Teng, who was kind to him for his life, couldn't make him change his mind, let alone Ma Chao.
Liu Zhang gently pulled away from Tai Shici, who chose to trust Pang De completely.
"Ling Ming, what's wrong?"
Pang De's eyes flashed with gratitude, and Liu Zhang's trust further strengthened his thoughts.
"Lord, please allow me to send Ma Chao on his way!"
Liu Zhang suddenly realized that Pang De wanted to kill Ma Chao himself and give him a happy life.
Perhaps this is the only thing Pang De feels he can do for Ma Chao!
Ma Chao moved to Pang De's side and showed gratitude.
"Ling Ming, I have no regrets if I can die in your hands!"
Listening to Ma Chao's gratifying words and looking at Ma Chao's satisfied expression, Liu Zhang became even more suspicious.
What on earth did he do to make Ma Chao willing to die rather than surrender?
Liu Zhang even suspected that he had massacred Ma Chao's entire family, including his wife, children, and children!
There is a saying that there is no place to be found if you wear iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.
Liu Zhang once experienced it with joy!
But just today, Liu Zhang also experienced the completely opposite situation.
"It's all a dream when all the mechanisms are exhausted and the music ends and everyone disperses!"
"Hey! That's all!"
Many times, Liu Zhang had to bow to reality.
Pang Tong, Lu Su, and Liu Ye were able to abandon their families and careers and travel thousands of miles to follow them.
But Ma Chao would rather die than be loyal to him.
I really agree with one sentence, there is a time in life that must be there eventually, but there is no time in life, don’t force it!
"Ma Chao, let's go!"
Everyone was stunned and stunned. No one expected Liu Zhang to let Ma Chao go.
"My lord, no!"
"My lord, Ma Chao is very skilled in martial arts. Keeping him here will definitely become a big problem for us!"
Taishi Ci quickly stepped forward to dissuade him, not caring that this was the decision Liu Zhang had just made.
Ma Chao is only 24 years old, far from his peak, and there will definitely be a lot of room for growth in the future.
Whether Ma Chao is allowed to continue to gather troops in Yongliang to fight against Liu Zhang, or he is allowed to go far away to the Central Plains and Hebei to rely on others to fight against the Yizhou army, it is always a disaster.
Liu Zhang frowned slightly and did not reply to Tai Shici's remarks. He seemed to be thinking.
Upon seeing this, Pang De wanted to plead for Ma Chao, but when the words came to his lips, he could not say them out.
Ma Chao is so ignorant, how can Pang De have the face to plead for him?
After a long time, Liu Zhang finally spoke.
"Once a man has said something, it is hard to chase him! What's more, I am the general of the imperial guard and the lord of Yizhou!"
Liu Zhang had firm eyes and turned to look at Ma Chao, giving him a warning look.
"Ma Chao, let's go!"
"But this is the last time, just take care of yourself!"
"If you still dare to make an enemy of me, you will definitely die if you are caught next time!"
Ma Chao was dumbfounded, never expecting that Liu Zhang could really let him go.
"General Wei, are you serious about this?"
Liu Zhang waved his hand impatiently, not wanting to look at Ma Chao again.
"Then can I leave?"
Ma Chao only took a few steps, then turned back to look at Liu Zhang, once again confirming whether the other party really wanted to let him go.
Liu Zhang was silent and did not even look at Ma Chao.
Ma Chao no longer hesitated and got on his horse.
But he couldn't leave yet, as he was completely surrounded by the Wu Feng camp in front of him.
"General Wei, your cavalry..."
Taishi Ci was unhappy and quickly looked at Liu Zhang with his hands raised.
"Lord, do you really want to let him go?"
Liu Zhang ignored Tai Shici who sounded anxious and waved gently again.
"spread."
Without any hesitation, and without even needing another order from Tai Shici, the soldiers of Wufeng Camp immediately began to retreat to both sides, and soon a path was left open.
"Lord!"
Taishi Ci was extremely anxious and asked Liu Zhang again.
Ma Chao's mount is Shali Fei, the blood-stained horse from the Western Regions. Once he breaks out of the siege, there is no chance of him catching up.
This is definitely the last chance to execute Ma Chao.
Ma Chao stood there, staring at Liu Zhang, waiting for his final decision.
Unless he gets Liu Zhang's permission, Ma Chao still can't escape the obstruction of Wu Feng camp.
The atmosphere became frozen again, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Zhang.
Not long after, Liu Zhang raised his right hand and waved it gently again.
"Let him go."
Ma Chao glanced at Liu Zhang with complicated eyes, then without any hesitation, he directly rode on his horse.
Under the cover of darkness, it didn't take long before the trace was completely lost.
"Why..."
Liu Zhang sighed softly, he did not really let Ma Chao go, but Ma Chao was not something he could kill for the time being.
The land of Yongliang has not yet been completely controlled. Killing Ma Chao may cause unexpected changes.
At present, Ma Teng's forces were completely wiped out, and the five major Qiang tribes and all the elites of the small Qiang tribe were also killed and injured.
Even if Ma Chao fled back to Xianling Qiang, he would not pose a threat to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang's sigh was purely due to his frustration at not being able to recruit Ma Chao.
"My lord is sighing like this, why not just let the general kill Ma Chao!"
Taishi Ci looked at Liu Zhang depressedly, obviously misunderstanding what he meant.
Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head, quickly fading away from his expression of regret.
"It doesn't matter, if we can capture Ma Chao once, we can capture him a second time!"
"I hope Ma Chao can cherish his life and stop being our enemy and seeking death..."
Liu Zhang was not afraid of Ma Chao at all, but he really didn't want to end Ma Chao's life with his own hands.
