This place is located in Hongnong County on the border of Chang'an and Luoyang, under the rule of Sili Xiaowei, it stands to reason that this Gyeonggi important land, public security should be very good.

But Ma Yue believed in Ma Li's eyesight, after all, the Qiang young man under his command grew up in northern Xinjiang, and the wind and grass on the grassland could not hide it from him.

Ma Yue whistled, Guan Yu and the four of them gathered around him, Ma Yue smiled at Guan Yu and said, "Brother Guan, please take care of the car, I will take A Ruo Yanming and Brother Gongming to find out." ”

Guan Yu nodded in agreement, and instructed: "San Lang be more careful, if there is a big difference between the enemy and me, don't be brave." ”

Out of Liangzhou, as soon as he came down from the plateau, Ma Yue obviously felt that his physical fitness had gone up a notch, the oxygen in the air had become more, and the third-rate martial arts of Liangzhou could exert second-rate strength in the Central Plains.

There were trees on both sides, and with a wave of his hand, the four horsemen slowed down and cautiously stepped forward.

He rode only three hundred paces when suddenly an arrow flew out of the woods, stabbing three paces before the horse.

"Come, stop! Where did you come from, where are you going? ”

A loud voice came from the forest, Ma Yue and Guan Yu glanced at each other, and secretly said that something was wrong in their hearts.

This arrow was shot straight from a hundred paces away.

Ma Yue's side can shoot arrows straight at a hundred paces, and only the candidates around the second brother Ma Zong can do it.

This arrow means that the bandits in the forest have the best archery skills in the world.

But even so, Ma Yue didn't want to bow his head, he straddled the horse and went around in a small circle in the same place, and shouted: "I'm waiting to come from Liangzhou, friends in the forest draw the way, what do you want?" ”

There was a swaying of grass and trees in the forest, and suddenly dozens of thieves came out, holding bows and crossbows and swords from both sides and pointing at Ma Yue Siqi, the voice shouted: "Since we are doing this business, we naturally seek wealth, and you have thirty horses, horses and chariots, and leave ten good horses, and grandpa will let you go." ”

Ma Yue took a cursory look at the color of the bandits in the forest, chuckled, and said to Yang Feng: "Ah Ruo, how much can these ten good horses of Xiliang be sold for in Luoyang, did my second brother tell you?" ”

Although the bows and swords in the forest have a certain deterrent effect, Ma Yue and the others are all veterans who have been withdrawn from the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, and they are not afraid of this kind of battle at all.

It's a good bow and arrow, but bandits and the like are bandits after all, and they are far from fierce compared to these veterans who crawled out of the pile of dead people.

Luoyang people have not fought for many years, they scare ordinary traveling merchants It's okay, for Ma Yue, they don't feel afraid at all, they have bows and arrows are good, but Ma Yue is a hundred steps away from them, turn around and run, they can't catch up at all, not to mention that they chase and withdraw from the forest, more than 30 little stupid thieves with only weapons and no armor, Ma Yue and four people can kill them all three times.

The four of Ma Yue were wearing fine bear skin armor.

Ma Yue smiled: "It's like a lion with his mouth open, brother, let's talk about something practical, Xiliang Ma is the lifeblood of Xiliang people, so there is nothing to talk about?" ”

The man in the forest scolded a little gloomily: "You are a lot of dolls, do people in Liangzhou toast like you and don't eat and drink?" If you don't want to hand over the horse, don't want to pass through here! Brother, shoot them to death! ”

The bandits in the forest stretched their bows and arrows, Xu Huang and others also pulled out their ring knives and prepared to fight, but Ma Yue shouted: "Slow! ”

"Hmph, sure enough, if you don't see the coffin, don't shed tears, little ones, grab the horse for Lao Tzu!"

'Grab your sister! Ma Yue scolded secretly in his heart, and said loudly: "After six years, I was fortunate to know my brother in Huaili Prison back then, but I haven't seen my younger brother for many years, but I miss it very much, why bother to see each other...... Brother Xiahou? ”

Ma Yue finally heard the words of the bandit leader in the forest, 'Little doll, how old are you.' It is exactly the same as the sentence in prison six years ago, 'It is rare to go to prison at such a young age', and there has been no change in six years.

Xiahou Yuan!

"Who are you?"

Ma Yue smiled, Xiahou Yuan had probably forgotten who he was a long time ago, but if it was Xiahou Yuan, Ma Yue didn't want to fight him.

No matter whether he is friend or foe with Cao Cao in the future, he doesn't want to make a bad relationship with Cao Cao now.

Therefore, Ma Yue smiled and said: "Brother Xiahou is a noble person, Ma Yue, in Xialiang Prefecture, was imprisoned in Xiahuai for his crime six years ago, think about it again." ”

There was silence in the forest for a moment, and then an eight-foot fierce man stepped out, his long hair tied in a high bun on the top of his head, and his eyebrows were resolute.

Xiahou Yuan smiled heartily: "I didn't expect it to be the little brother of the Ma family, a few days ago, the Northern Xinjiang won a big victory, and my brother and I were still wondering, is that Ma Yue the little doll six years ago, and now it seems that the young county lieutenant who won the battle is you Ma Sanlang, there is no doubt that the brothers, put the guys down, Ma Sanlang is a friend and not an enemy." ”

"Haha, thanks to my brother, my younger brother is fortunate enough to pick up a life from the battlefield." Seeing that Xiahou Yuan asked his subordinates to put down their weapons, Ma Yue's hanging heart also let go, and he dismounted and smiled at a few people: "Okay, you don't have to look like a great enemy, it's your own people." Brother Gongming, go and talk to Mr. first, there is nothing ahead, everything is safe. ”

Ma Yue himself smiled and grabbed Xiahou Yuan's arm, and said with a smile: "How did my brother start such a deal now." ”

Xiahou Yuan's life doesn't seem to be very good.

Dressed in a gray gown, dressed like a homeless person, in addition to being tall and bright, where does he have the appearance of a general who will conquer the west in the future, it can be seen that Xiahou Yuan's life is not good.

Xiahou Yuan was a little uncomfortable with Ma Yue's enthusiasm, he and Ma Yue said that they were old acquaintances, but they really didn't say a few words, and they didn't know much. Without a trace, he pulled his arm out of Ma Yue's hand, and said with a wry smile: "San Lang doesn't know, the family life is okay, that year after he came out of Huaili Prison, he dismissed his brother and went home for a peaceful birthday. ”

Xiahou Yuan's brother, passed away?

This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Ma Yue stammered and asked, "Brother Yuanrang ......"

Xiahou Yuan shook his head and said: "Yuan Rang is as strong as a calf, where can he get sick, it is the third brother of a certain family..."

Ma Yue nodded, it wasn't Xiahoudun, and then he asked, "Brother's Day mourning...... In such a situation at home, didn't the elder brother of the Cao family think of anything? ”

It stands to reason that Cao Cao should be able to help Xiahou Yuan, the old Cao family is so rich, his father Cao Song can buy a lieutenant for 100 million yuan, how can he not have money to help Xiahou Yuan?

Xiahou Yuan smiled bitterly: "Meng De has a lot of help, but he will feel guilty in the end, which is not good." ”

"Ugh." Ma Yue sighed, he couldn't see the hero's shortness of breath the most, but Guan Yu was like this, Xiahou Yuan was like this, these heroes in the late Han Dynasty, if it weren't for the chaos in the world, I am afraid there would really be no future.

Yu Guang swept to Xiahou Yuan's eyes and always glanced at the horse he was leading, Ma Yue knew that he was tempted, Ma Yue's horse was not ordinary, most of the trophies after the Lingzhou War were Xianbei horses, Huangfu Song allocated a thousand horses to Ma Zong, Ma Zong has only sold a hundred horses so far, good things are naturally left to his family, Ma Yue's Xianbei horse is a special horse.

Ma Yue thought about it and said with a smile: "Brother Xiahou, today San Lang messed up his brother's business, and he can't let his brother go home empty-handed." In this way, this horse is the war profit obtained by Yue in the north, but it can travel 500 miles a day, trekking through mountains and rivers, and it will be given to his brother today, and he will be accompanied by Saburo to his brother. ”

Xiahou Yuan is a good horse, and when he saw Ma Yue Baoju Shenjun, he naturally had to take a few more glances to relieve his greed, but it was difficult for him to accept the horse, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "San Lang can't be like this, this is San Lang's car, how can I give it to a certain person." ”

Ma Yue smiled heartily: "Brother doesn't have to shirk, we have more horses in Liangzhou, BMW with heroes, how can my brother be so mighty without a good horse." Forcing the reins into Xiahou Yuan's hand, Ma Yue smiled slyly and said: "It's just this horse, brother don't sell it, San Lang has some money here, brother will accept it for the time being, and the right to solve the urgent need." ”

Saying that, Ma Yue took out two pieces of gold cake from his arms, and put it in Xiahou Yuan's hand along with the horse reins, seeing that Xiahou Yuan was about to resign, Ma Yue hurriedly said: "Look at my brother's situation, this is the time when the dragon is trapped in the shallows, this money brother can rest assured to accept it, and the right to lend it to the elder brother as the younger brother, and then return it to Ma San when the elder brother's life improves. ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at the golden cake in his hand, and fell into a dilemma in his heart, he needed money too much. After the death of his brother, he left a daughter with no one to raise, and his economic situation was so poor, in order to raise his niece, he just sold his youngest son to Renyazi a few days ago, and with Ma Yue's money, Xiahou Yuan was able to buy his own son back immediately, but ......

Despite this, Xiahou Yuan still wanted to push the golden cake back to Ma Yue in his hand, and in the end, he couldn't help but speak: "Whatever San Lang asks for, if he can do it, he will never refuse." ”

"Hehe, that's right." Ma Yue said with a smile: "What San Lang wants is also simple, when he first arrived, the younger brother didn't know the road in Luoyang, and he was worried about getting lost. ”

As he was talking, Liang Hu's convoy also slowly drove from behind, Ma Yue didn't wait for Xiahou Yuan to agree, so he smiled and said: "Please also ask my brother to go to Luoyang with the next line for the time being, and it is good to catch up on the road, San Lang also brought some Beidi spirits on the carriage, and when I get to Luoyang, I will introduce a few brothers of the younger brother to my brother to know my brother, haha, I won't return home if I don't get drunk tonight!" ”

As soon as Ma Yue turned around, Yang Aruo had already jumped off his horse, led him in front of Ma Yue, and said, "San Lang will take my horse for the time being, and I will go to the wheel to drive." ”

Ma Yue responded with a smile, and went to the carriage with Yang Feng, Ma Yue smiled at Liang Hu in the car and said: "Sir, San Lang met an old friend, so he rode outside, and I hope Mr. will not blame." ”

Liang Hu naturally knew that the 'old friend' that Ma Yue was talking about was probably a group of people who had robbed the road on the road before, but he was open-minded and didn't care about this, nodded his head to show understanding, waved his hand to let Ma Yue go, and talked about their topic with Cai Yong on his own.

"Brother Xiahou, please!"

Xiahou Yuan was grateful, gritted his teeth, put the golden cake into his arms, turned over on the horse, and said to Ma Yue: "San Lang, please!" ”

A group of people, riding horses, drove to Luoyang, mighty, dusty all the way.
