Han Yue and Ma Yue chatted for a long time, until Dong Zhuo finished dealing with the matter of burning Dangqiang, and a group of people dealt with their injuries in Jincheng, and then returned to Longxian together.

The time of the funeral has been set, and no one knows what Han Yue and Ma Yue talked about, but after Ma Yue came back from Jincheng, he was a little worried, and he leaned on the coffin of Gutaer in the mourning hall that was erected all day long.

Ma Yue is thinking about some things, for the future of the Ma family.

He's just an ordinary traverser, but what are the advantages of a traverser?

He knew what many people would do in the future, but he didn't even know that the famous Ma Teng relied on going into the mountains to cut wood to support his wife, children and brothers.

There are too many things to decide in the future, and he doesn't have the slightest understanding of the world's major events, and the terroir he knows is limited to Liangzhou.

In ten years, he has changed from a cowardly college student to a fearless warrior today, with hundreds or even thousands of followers behind him.

You can command the troops on the horse, and you can pick up the pen when you get off the horse.

But to be honest, this is really nothing, he didn't think about what the future should be, and he didn't think carefully about what position the family would put in the next chaos in the world.

Dominant? Followers? Or go with the flow.

This thing is strategy.

"San Lang, the mourning hall is cold, drink some wine to warm up."

Glancing up, Ma Yue took the wine jug, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Brother Yun, aren't you teaching Ping'er to read and write in it, why did you come here?" ”

Guan Yu chuckled, swept the hem of the robe and sat on the steps, flirted with the wick to make the light brighter, and then said: "Xiao Ping'er is the age of noisy, he can't learn after reading for a long time, let him play with Dai'er, I'll come and sit with you." ”

Ma Yue nodded, Yao Jing Guan Yu took a sip, and the liquor entered his throat and then his whole body warmed up.

Guan Yu saw that Ma Yue didn't want to speak, so he took out a copy of Spring and Autumn from his arms, and sat on the steps with a wind and snow oil lamp and read it.

Sima Qian said: Fu Chunqiu, the way of the three kings of the Ming Dynasty, the discipline of personnel under the Ming, don't be suspicious, know right from wrong, hesitate, good and evil, virtuous and lowly, survive the country, follow the peerless, make up for the abolition, and the great one of the royal road. Therefore, the Spring and Autumn Period is also the great sect of etiquette and righteousness.

Ma Yue likes Guan Yu very much, which has nothing to do with his evaluation in history, he likes this kind of self-motivated, strong and reliable man.

It's extra down-to-earth to follow around.

After thinking about it, Ma Yue got up, took out a case from his arms, and handed it to Guan Yu. patting Guan Yu on the shoulder, Ma Yue said, "Brother Guan, from today onwards, you can go all over the world." ”

Guan Yu's face was puzzled, but when he read the book, his mouth suddenly grew and he didn't know what to say.

"Saburo...... This, this. ”

This book briefly describes Guan Yu's new identity, and the old case record has been written off.

There is no longer Hedong Guan Changsheng in the world, only Liangzhou Guan Yunchang.

Ma Yue laughed rarely, and said, "Okay, Yun Chang, don't talk about those useless things between you and me, take it." ”

Guan Yu looked at Ma Yue and was stunned for a long time, made a big bow in a muffled voice, got up and reddened his eyes, and then sighed softly: "It's San Lang, I haven't been able to smile like this for many days." ”

Ma Yue was stunned, "Yes, I haven't laughed for a long time these days." Seeing that his mood was a little low, Ma Yue hurriedly changed the topic to make Guan Yu a little happier, raised his hand and pointed to the Spring and Autumn Period in Guan Yu's hand and asked, "Hey, Yun Chang, there are a lot of books at home, why do I see that you love Spring and Autumn alone?" ”

Guan Yu was a little embarrassed when he closed the book, and said with a smile: "San Lang, I'm not afraid of your jokes, a certain family looks at the Spring and Autumn Period because they miss their grandfather and father, and reading the Spring and Autumn Period can also be connected with the knife technique." ”

Ma Yue became more interested, tilted his head and asked, "Is this ...... How so? ”

"Grandfather and father always use the Spring and Autumn Book of Changes to govern the family, that will be young and not more things, for many years only practice martial arts and do not like to read, after all, it is the next disaster, grandfather and father passed away one after another, and a certain also ended up in a hurry to flee for his life, this spring and autumn, contains not only the way of the ancients to govern the world, but also the will of the family." Shaking his head and sighing, Guan Yu continued: "San Lang, you see, my Han family rules the world with etiquette, and people also love etiquette and music, but there is no etiquette to talk about on the battlefield. There is no lack of the ancient art of war in the Spring and Autumn Period, which can also be learned. ”

"Then why don't you just look at Liutao?" Liutao specializes in teaching the art of war, so Ma Yue asked: "Isn't it better to learn the art of war from Liutao?" ”

Guan Yu shook his head, "Spring and Autumn haven't read it thoroughly, and it's better to chew it if you are greedy, so it's better to see it through." ”

"It's time for Kuroko to ...... Read some books. Ma Yue's eyes were slightly red, patted the coffin, raised his head and drank a sip of spirits, and asked: "Brother Guan, you have been with me the longest, how many people have you killed for me and how many times have you saved me over the years?" ”

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment and shook his head. Ma Yue also shook his head.

"It's been a long time since I couldn't count it, Heizi and I have been with me for three years, from Longxian to Lingzhou, and I almost didn't kill out of the Great Wall, but I'm afraid I can't count it for a long time."

"It's a shame, I didn't even let Kuroko read the book, alas."

Guan Yu closed the book and said, "Kuroko has always been around San Lang, he is gone, we are still around San Lang, he can rest assured." ”

Guan Yu said, there was a sound of footsteps in the inner hall, and Yang Feng and Yang Feng came side by side with a wine jar.

"Monkey brother Aruo, why are you here?"

Yang Feng carried the wine jar and sprinkled it next to the coffin, and said: "The sunspot is about to enter the ground at dawn, brother, come and send the sunspot." ”

Brothers.

Ma Yu lifted the lid, raised his hand and sprinkled it in front of Gutar's coffin, then grabbed Ma Yue's shoulders and sat side by side with him.

"San Lang, you avenged Kuroko, and the hearts of the brothers, don't think too much."

Shaking his head with his eyes closed, Ma Yue said softly: "After the sunspot left, every time I look back, I always feel uncomfortable and unsafe without the black man by my side. ”

Yang Feng nodded and said: "When San Lang said this, it reminded me of the days in Jiuquan in the past, running between the east and west cities, there were always close friends by my side, and I dared to break through the mountains and fires. ”

Sighing, Ma Yue said, "Brother Guan, come in, I have something to ask you for advice." ”

"Oh?" Guan Yu strode in and sat beside Yang Feng, and several people waited silently for Ma Yue's next step.

"The three of you are all my confidant brothers, when the aftermath of Heizi and Ying'er is done, Brother Guan and Ah Ruo will go to Luoyang with me, I don't worry, Brother Monkey stays in Liangzhou, be more careful."

"Hey, what do I have to be careful with." Ma Yu waved his hand and smiled: "Brother, I don't want San Lang to worry, eat and sleep well every day, practice a meal of the boys under his hands, the surrounding tribe chiefs are stocked with pigs and sheep, and live like a fairy every day." ”

"It's just appearances." Ma Yue shook his head and said: "Liangzhou will be chaotic if it can't come out for a while, Brother Monkey, you must have a good relationship with the Qiang people, don't be too arrogant to them, once they turn against them, I'm afraid that the hundreds of county soldiers under your command won't even be able to defend the city." ”

Ma Yu didn't care, and said with a smile: "Can they really rebel and attack the city?" I didn't dare to borrow a few of them. ”

"You don't need to borrow their courage, they dare, Ah Ruo, the food needed for the marriage was all organized by you and Heizi, how much is the price of rice in Longxian County now?"

Yang Feng said without thinking: "Eight hundred and fifty dollars." That's three times higher than the year before. ”

"Food prices are the problem." Ma Yue continued: "If Liangzhou is not chaotic, why is there such a high grain price? Mr. told me that Liangzhou was going to be chaotic before, I had doubts, and the reaction at that time was like that of Brother Monkey, and I privately checked the prices in Liangzhou, except for the soaring prices of food, armor, and horses, other prices were normal. And these things all point to war. ”

"So, before leaving, I will fall out with my family and you, it's not enough to split up, I have to make a more thorough trouble."

As soon as Ma Yue's words fell, Ma Play and the others shouted in unison: "What! ”

"Silence!" Ma Yue made a shushing gesture and said, "Don't worry, this is fake, but you have to hide it from everyone." I have a letter here, Brother Monkey, you will give it to the eldest brother three months after I left Liangzhou, and he will naturally understand when he reads it. Won't blame me. ”

Ma Yu accepted the letter and said with a smile: "Why is San Lang so cautious, even if Liangzhou is reversed, it is a big deal that the family follows the opposite, with the strength of our family, it is not impossible to directly win the king of Liang, when the time comes, San Lang delicacies and seafood, Wuding cooking is not happy!" ”

Yang Feng raised his hand and patted the horse's head: "You know how to eat!" At that time, we will all be in Luoyang, and we will not be able to come back if our family is reversed. ”

"Hmph." Ma Yueyin smiled: "This is the reason why I want to break with my family, but you can't tell my eldest brother, Ah Ruo and Yun Chang will go to Luoyang with me, only you stay here, take care of my family for me, Liangzhou is my root, no matter what my eldest brother does, you must be careful, don't blindly follow, you have to tell your eldest brother, I am afraid that Beigong Yu will rebel and hurt the family, so I broke with the family, understand?" ”

"But ......" Ma played: "Why don't you tell the truth to the eldest brother?" Tell Big Brother your guess? ”

"Ugh." Ma Yue sighed and said softly: "Because I can't be sure, how will the eldest brother choose at that time." What do you think...... With the eldest brother's ambition to recreate the prestige of the Ma family, if the whole Liangzhou is reversed, how will the eldest brother choose? Help Hanting rehabilitate? ”

"Of course you can't..."Ma Play said casually, there are only a few men in Liangzhou who have their hearts towards the imperial court, not to mention that after Duan Ying's death, Ma Play's words suddenly stopped halfway through, and his eyes were round and he said in surprise: "San Lang, you mean ......"

Ma Yue nodded heavily, patted Ma Yu's shoulder and said, "God knows, the earth knows, I know, you know." Let the fourth pair of ears hear it again, and if it is all right, it shall be assumed that the conversation of the night has never happened, if not...... You have to join forces with Peng Tuo Dou Liang Chengyi, and secretly fight for me to fight for soldiers and horses, and play with horses. For the first time, Ma Yue called Ma Wan's name seriously and said: "If there are unforeseen circumstances, Brother Guan and Ah Ruo will be able to protect me back to Liangzhou, and when the time comes, you will be my lifesaver." ”

"This is by no means a betrayal of Big Brother, just for... Save our lives! ”
