"Father! You must make the decision for me!" Ma Chao stared at a pair of red eyes and shouted to Ma Teng sitting in front of him: "Luo Yang has gone too far! How can I swallow this hatred of seizing my wife?"
Down?"
Ma Teng was obviously not as excited as Ma Chao. He just frowned, put his fist on his cheek, and asked in a deep voice: "Meng Qi! Don't say this yet! Let me ask you, how do you know it was Luo Yang who robbed you?
A passing wife? Who told you?"
Ma Chao was originally looking forward to his father's answer, but he didn't expect that Ma Teng just asked about this, and he immediately became anxious. However, out of respect for his father, Ma Chao still endured it and replied: "I heard about this matter from Wang Situ
That's right! And the woman I want to marry is none other than Wang Situ's adopted daughter Diao Chan! I have already made an engagement with Wang Situ. As long as I can get your approval from my father, I can marry Miss Diao Chan! No!
I thought that before I left Chang'an City and came to Xiping, I heard that Luo Yang had brought Miss Diao Chan into the General's Mansion and took her as a concubine! Then I went to Wang Situ to argue! But Wang Situ told me that Luo Yang had taken a fancy to him.
Because of Miss Diao Chan’s beauty, he led troops to his house to demand Diao Chan! Wang Situ was forced to have no choice but to let Luo Yang take Miss Diao Chan away!”
"Is that so?" Ma Teng was not like Ma Chao, who was a fool. He immediately saw the trick. Needless to say, Ma Chao must have been taken advantage of by that old fox Wang Yun! But Ma Teng didn't do it.
Angry, but with a sarcastic look on his face, Wang Yun used a good method, but Ma Teng couldn't do what Wang Yun wanted! Although Ma Teng has temporarily controlled Liangzhou, his strength is not as good as Wang Yun's.
Luo Yang, there is still a long way to go! If we forcefully start a war at this time, it will only be advantageous to Wang Yun and other princes, ministers and aristocratic families! Ma Teng is not a fool, he is not willing to do the stupid thing of making wedding clothes for others!
Seeing Ma Teng's response, he stopped talking. Ma Chao felt anxious in his heart and continued to ask: "Father! Just let me lead the Liangzhou army to Chang'an! Break the city of Chang'an.
Just snatch Miss Diaochan back!"
"Okay!" However, Ma Teng obviously did not support his eldest son's idea. With a wave of his hand, he stood up and said to Ma Chao: "Don't mention this matter again! You left Chang'an City rashly this time. It's really a shame."
It’s inappropriate, but since something like this has happened, it’s very suitable for you to return to Chang’an! Let’s do this! I’ll let Tie’er go! Just stay in Liangzhou for me!”
The Tie'er Ma Teng mentioned refers to Ma Chao's youngest brother Ma Tie, who is still underage. Apparently Ma Teng saw that Ma Chao was too impulsive and was not suitable to stay in a place like Chang'an. Sooner or later, he would
What caused trouble! As soon as Ma Chao heard his father's decision, he was not willing to follow it. He took a big step forward, stood directly in front of Ma Teng, and shouted to Ma Teng: "Father
!I don’t agree! With the strength of our Liangzhou Army and the help of uncle Han Sui! We will definitely be able to break through Chang’an City! I am a seven-foot-old man who can’t even keep his own wife. Isn’t he going to serve the world from now on?
To be ridiculed?"
How could Ma Teng not know what Ma Chao said? How could Ma Teng not be angry? But the problem is that all conditions now do not allow Ma Teng to return to Luo Yang's account! Although what Ma Chao said seems to make sense, but
Ma Teng knew in his heart that although Chang'an City was so fragile on the surface, in fact, as long as Ma Teng made a move, Luo Yang's four legions, except Gan Ning's naval army, the other three legions would be destroyed.
Go north immediately! Not to mention anything else, the sword-fighting cavalry alone is enough to completely defeat Ma Teng's Liangzhou army! So Ma Teng was not tempted at all, but shouted sullenly: "Meng Qi! I
I know you have grievances! But there is no need to mention this matter again! There are so many women in the world! Why do you only want Diao Chan? Your father has already chosen a marriage for you, and you had to wait until the end of the year.
I want to recruit you back, now is the perfect time, you will be ready to get married next month!"
"No!" Ma Chao also had a stubborn temper, and he straightened his neck and shouted: "Father! I will not marry anyone other than Diao Chan in this life! If you don't agree, then I will lead a group of troops to kill in Chang'an! I must get Diao Chan out of the house.
Snatch it back from Luo Yang's clutches!"
"Pa!" A clear and loud slap sounded. Ma Teng finally couldn't help it and slapped his eldest son, who was usually the most proud of him. Looking at the slap marks on Ma Chao's cheek, Ma Teng felt distressed in his heart.
But he soon hardened his heart again and shouted angrily: "You bastard! Who do you think you are? Even Lu Bu, who was unparalleled in the world at that time, died at the hands of Luo Yang! Do you think you can conquer Chang'an City by yourself?
?Even if you are seeking death! Don’t bring trouble to our Ma family! Come here! Come here!”
Ma Teng shouted, and soon, Pound, who had been guarding outside, rushed in with a few sergeants. Pound had been guarding outside just now, and he heard a lot of things going on inside. He knew that the father and son were
It was such a big fuss that as an outsider, he couldn't care less about it. After he came in, he didn't dare to let his eyes wander. He clasped his fists at Ma Teng and shouted: "General! The last general is here!"
"Pound!" Ma Teng glanced at the calm Pang De, and then at Ma Chao. He felt really bad, and shouted to Pang De: "Take a few people and escort this traitor to me."
Lock up the firewood shed in the mansion! Send someone to guard it day and night! If you let this traitor escape! I want your heads! Did you hear that?" Ma Teng almost shouted the last sentence, which shows that Ma Teng is in a bad mood now.
How bad.
Ma Teng was like this. Naturally, Pang De and the others did not dare to go against Ma Teng's wishes. When they responded, they all walked to Ma Chao's left and right. Pang De glanced at Ma Chao with some embarrassment, and then he still cupped his fists and said
: "Young General! Please don't make things difficult for me!" After hearing what Ma Teng said, Ma Chao slowly calmed down, knowing that nothing he said was useless, and in the end he could only follow Pang De downcast and leave.
study.
Although Ma Chao left, Ma Teng still felt resentful in his heart and started smashing things in the study. In a short time, Ma Teng smashed this good study into a mess! After venting like this, Ma Teng
The anger in Teng's heart finally subsided a little, he clenched his fists, looked out the window and hummed: "Luo Yang, Luo Yang! One day, I will tear you into pieces!"
"Report——!" A shout came from outside, but a sergeant ran in quickly. When he arrived at the door of the study, he was shocked when he saw the mess in the study. For a moment
He didn't even dare to come in.
Ma Teng turned his head, glared at the sergeant, and shouted, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"
"Ah? Ah!" The sergeant was frightened by Ma Teng's glare. He hurriedly clasped his fists at Ma Teng and shouted: "Report to the general! A man came from outside the house, saying that he had something important to do with him.
General, discuss! General Ma Dai is receiving this person in the front hall, and asked the young one to come and ask for instructions from the general!"
Ma Teng frowned. If it were just the first half of the sergeant's words, Ma Teng would have kicked the sergeant out! After all, he was also the local tyrant of Liangzhou, so how could he let him go so easily?
People say they meet when they meet? But after hearing that Ma Dai had already received this person and asked the sergeant to come to him, Ma Teng hesitated. Ma Dai is Ma Teng's nephew, but this boy is completely different from Ma Chao.
Ma Dai's martial arts skills are far inferior to Ma Chao's, but his temperament is much calmer than Ma Chao's. Although he is younger than Ma Chao, he makes Ma Teng feel at ease when doing things. Even if Ma Teng asks
He said, "Has the person here explained where he came from?"
The sergeant shook his head and said: "He did not explain his origin, but when General Ma Dai received this person, the man secretly showed General Ma Dai a token. After seeing the token, General Ma Dai seemed to be frightened.
Jump, then I personally greeted that person and sent a villain to find the general!"
"Token?" Ma Teng was even more confused when he heard this. Although Ma Dai is not as good at martial arts as Ma Chao, he is not a timid person. What kind of token is that? It actually makes Ma Dai startled.
? Ma Teng nodded and walked directly out of the study. He decided to go and see for himself where this person came from. Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to instruct the sergeant to take people to deal with the mess he had made.
The study room was tidied up.
Walking quickly to the front hall, Ma Teng couldn't help but slow down. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement in the front hall, but it was completely quiet. This made Ma Teng a little confused. Even if he just stepped in
After entering the front hall, I looked up and saw two people sitting in the front hall. They were both young men in their early twenties. One of them was wearing a fine armor. The style was similar to the armor worn by Ma Chao, but his figure was slimmed down.
The man who has lost a lot of weight is Ma Dai, Ma Teng's nephew. The other man is wearing a very simple long green cloth gown with a scholar's towel on his head. He looks like a scholar, but this man Ma Teng is not.
He has never seen it before, so he must be the guest who is coming to see him! But at this time, this guest was smiling, kneeling on the mat, closing his eyes and concentrating, while Ma Dai was also kneeling opposite, with his arms and legs.
He stared at this person closely, not relaxing at all.
Looking at Ma Dai's appearance, Ma Teng couldn't help but sigh to himself. If it were his eldest son, let alone being as motionless as he is now, even if he was sitting there on his knees, he wouldn't be able to do it! Ma Teng
He took a deep breath and shouted to Ma Dai: "Dai'er!"
Hearing Ma Teng's shouts, Ma Dai realized that Ma Teng was coming. He quickly stood up, clasped his fists at Ma Teng and shouted: "Uncle!" As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes drifted to the guest.
