It has been a long time since he came back from the banquet in He Mansion, and Ma Chao's name has slowly spread in Luoyang City these days.

Of course, it started from officialdom at first, and then it slowly spread to the people. Many people have heard that Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi of Fufeng Maoling sang a song of loyalty to the country in the house of Yin Hejin in Henan.

After arriving at the end, even Liu Hong, who had been in the deep palace for a long time, heard about it, and specially called Ma Chao to him, so that Ma Chao had to come to serve the country with loyalty. Ma Chao couldn't resist and disobey, so he had no choice but to sing it to Liu Hong again, and after singing, Liu Hong praised Ma Chao, "Aiqing is really worthy of being my pillar of the Han Dynasty!" I think this song can only be made by Aiqing! ”

Although Ma Chao's face is now quite thick, and he is approaching the bend of the city wall, he is still a little embarrassed to be praised by Liu Hong, and he said in his heart that only he knows what is going on.

On this day, Ma Teng finally arrived in Luoyang, and in Ma Chao's mansion, "Father is from Longxi?" ”

Ma Teng nodded, "Yes, my father rushed home to get the family tree after receiving your letter, and then he rushed to Luoyang non-stop!" ”

"That, father, can you let your son see the family tree?"

Ma Teng gave Ma Chao an expression that I know you kid wants to be like this, only to see him take out the family tree from his baggage, and handed it to Ma Chao with a smile, "Chao'er, this is the family tree of my Ma family, and when you take over as the head of the family in the future, my father will pass it on to you!" ”

Ma Chao took it respectfully, and from the outside, it was really the same as Ma Riyan's. After that, I continued to open the family tree to see, and sure enough, there was the same inside, it was the same in the front, but it was different in the back. After all, although they are the same ancestor, they are not in the same lineage.

After seeing it, Ma Chao was even more able to determine the relationship between Ma Riyan and his own family, this is a real relative, he didn't run away at all.

"My son knows that my father is tired from the journey today, so it's better to rest first, and then go to visit my uncle with my son tomorrow, I don't know what my father thinks?"

Who knew that Ma Teng waved his hand, "It doesn't have to be like this, it's okay today, and I'm not tired of being a father!" ”

Ma Chaozhi said that Ma Teng was sincere, but he couldn't ignore his body. In the end, he persuaded his father hard, Ma Teng is generally really unpersuadable, but today he listened to Ma Chao's persuasion once. To be honest, he is indeed too tired, from Longxi all the way to Luoyang, he Ma Teng is thirty-five years old, so it's no wonder that he is not tired. But Ma Teng said that he had to visit Ma Riyan tomorrow, and Ma Chao also agreed, "Okay, then when my son comes back from the palace tomorrow, I will go to visit my uncle with my father!" ”

Ma Riyan had to teach Liu Wei in the morning, and he had to teach in the afternoon, so it was best to visit him after he came back from the palace.

"Then according to Chao'er's words!"

On the afternoon of the second day, Ma Chao entered the palace to teach Liu Wei to practice martial arts, and he threw Ma Teng to Wei Ping and them, as for how they were, then I couldn't control it. Wei Ping and they all know that Ma Teng is the father of his lord, and he is also a member of the Liangzhou Army, and Ma Teng has also heard Ma Chao introduce Wei Ping and them before, so he can be regarded as having some understanding of them. So they got along well and talked very speculatively.

Not long after Shen Shi, Ma Chao had already returned from the palace, put the wooden knife in the mansion, and simply cleaned it up after the end, and then he went to visit Ma Riyan with Ma Teng. Ma Riyan was very happy when he saw Ma Teng's father and son, and hurriedly invited them into the living room, "Brother Shoucheng, Meng Qi, sit down!" ”

"Thank you!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

Subsequently, Ma Teng and Ma Riyan exchanged genealogies with each other, which is actually to check each other, and after both parties have read it, there is really no problem at all. Everyone is a descendant of the Ma family, Ma Teng is Ma Ripan's brother, and Ma Ripan is Ma Teng's brother.

"Brother is above, please be worshiped by the younger brother!"

"Uncle Weng, please get up!"

Ma Teng hurriedly helped Ma Riyan up, he seemed very excited, after all, he only has a big brother, and today there is another clan brother, can this not make him happy. More importantly, there are more people in the Ma family, which means that it is closer to everyone's wishes, and each generation of Ma descendants is responsible for revitalizing the family, and looking for people from the same clan to make the family grow, which is naturally one of the revitalization of the family.

The three of them chatted until the evening, and when it was time for dinner, Ma Riyan naturally set up a banquet for Ma Teng and his son, and Ma Teng and his son would not refuse. And this time the two sides recognized each other, which is beneficial to everyone, and it also makes the strength of the Ma family stronger, and they all know each other.

Ma Riyan was not drunk this time, he knew what happened last time, and it was enough. And that time it was just Ma Chao's nephew, but today he is even his own brother, if there are more, it will really be a loss to the adult, so he has been controlling and controlling and controlling, and finally there is not much, and Ma Teng and Ma Chao will not let Ma Riyan drink too much, so this time he is really not much.

It was already very late when he returned to Ma Chao from Ma Riyan, and when Ma Chao saw Ma Teng like that, he was also a little tired, so he didn't bother him anymore, wanting Ma Teng to rest again. And Ma Teng is indeed a little tired, he obviously didn't rest enough yesterday, and today he went to visit Ma Riyan, so he fell on the couch to see Zhou Gong as soon as he came back.

Early the next morning, Ma Chao got up and found that Ma Teng was gone, and then learned from the housekeeper that Ma Teng had already left. He also didn't understand why his father was in such a hurry to go back, could it be that there was any urgent military situation? It's impossible, but everyone is gone, and it's useless to think too much about it now, anyway, everything that needs to be done has been done, and it's already done.

After another month, Cui An came to Luoyang. It was only when Ma Chao wrote to him and told him his address, and he found it. It is estimated that if Ma Chao will not send him a letter, Cui An will still have to return to Dunhuang first.

"Fuda, tell me how things are going in Youzhou?"

This time, Cui An seemed to have learned smartly, but he didn't say anything, but handed Ma Chao a letter first. Ma Chao opened the letter and looked at it, it turned out that it was written to him by Du Yi and Du Zhongming.

The content is: Matthew Shou hasn't forgotten our agreement, it's really good. I think the three brothers of our Du family don't dare to forget. I have agreed to everything you said in your letter and put it into action, and not only did the third brother teach Li Wei to shoot for them, I taught them sword skills, and even my eldest brother also taught Li Wei a lot of them. So please rest assured that Ma Taishou must be true and serious to teach, as for what level Li Wei can learn for them, it can only depend on their own creation.

After reading the letter, Ma Chao finally put his mind at ease. I didn't expect that even the boss Du Ren went into battle, the boss of the Du family is not small, if he teaches the eighteen sons, then I believe that the eighteen sons will benefit immensely. Du Ren is a second-rate high-class martial arts, such a second-rate peak master teaches the eighteen sons, it is strange if the martial arts of the eighteen sons are not improved, even if it is a little bit of improvement. Besides, he didn't teach alone, there was Du Yi, it was Du Ren and Du Yi.

Ma Chao asked Cui An about the specific situation in Youzhou, and Cui An told Ma Chao about Lelang Changcen in Youzhou. When the eighteenth son and his party arrived at their destination, Cui An led them to Du Mansion and met Du Yi. When Du Yi saw Cui An, he was still puzzled, and said in his heart Why did so many people come, more than a hundred. But after he read Ma Chao's handwritten letter, he understood that he wanted to let himself and the third teacher teach Li for them, okay, there is no problem, they are all in a cooperative relationship with each other, everyone just takes what they need.

Besides, he didn't teach his own swordsmanship, but taught Ma Chao the swordsmanship he had studied, so Du Yi agreed without hesitation. As for the belongings that Ma Chao asked the eighteenth son to bring, Du Yi naturally laughed at them all. is still the same sentence, the relationship between the two of them is only cooperative, and he Du Yi has no obligation to provide free services to Ma Chao.

And Du Yi's favorite are the swords given by Ma Chao, he kept two for himself, and Du Ren and Du Li each got one. Although Du Yi doesn't use knives, and he doesn't have too much research on knives, it's true that he likes weapons. Besides, he wants to teach the eighteen sons the knife technique of Ma Chaobing, so he may have to be inseparable from the knife every day in the future.

In this way, Du Yi and Du Li began to teach one of the eighteen sons of the sword, and the other taught them archery. As a result, it didn't take long for the boss Du Ren to join in, he naturally didn't teach the eighteen sons marksmanship, and because he was the only one who was a horse general, so he taught more about the experience of the enemy on the horse, and he himself was the sparring partner of the eighteen sons. It can be said that Du Ren's joining is indeed as Ma Chao thought, so that the eighteen sons are infinitely beneficial, three people VS eighteen people, so they began to practice martial arts day after day.

And after Cui An received Ma Chao's letter, he left Du Mansion within two days and rushed to Luoyang non-stop. Youzhou is not as good as Xuzhou, not just that the place is not good. What's more, there are only three old men in the Du family in Youzhou, and they have to teach the eighteen sons to practice martial arts and archery every day, and Cui An does not participate.

Although he is not interesting in Xuzhou, but fortunately, there are Liu Bigong Du and Xiao Tiedaner, plus Mi Fang, and most importantly, Mi Zhen, who was called the main mother by him, so Cui An can stay in Xuzhou for a year and not come back. But it was obviously not possible in Youzhou, so he rushed back early.

"Fuda, I've been glad you've suffered all the way! Well, go and get some rest! ”

"No! Lord! ”

Cui An was really tired, if he didn't know that he was his lord, as long as he had to ask himself as soon as he came back, he would want to fall on the couch and sleep well.
