Ma Chao was led into the meeting hall by six people, and there were twelve people waiting for them in the hall.

Everyone sat down separately, only to hear the person before him say: "Today, Dunhuang Taishou is here with great power, it is really brilliant!" Let me introduce myself first, my name is Li Wei, and I am the eldest brother of the eighteen sons, and by the way, I will also introduce them to Taishou! ”

From the position where he was sitting, Ma Chao had already seen that Li Wei was the boss, but he didn't expect it to be the boss who went to greet him personally.

"His name is Li Bao......"

"His name is Li Xue......"

"His name is Lehi......"

"His name is Li Shen......"

It wasn't until Li Wei finished introducing the Li family, after Ma Chao heard it, he said in his heart that it was really the same as what Wang Yan said, and the names of the eighteen sons together were "In order to avenge the blood and the sea of blood, we will definitely kill all the foreign races in the world", it seems that their grudge with the Qiang people is too great.

"I am a native of Fufeng Maoling, surnamed Ma and Chaozi Mengqi, and now I am the Taishou of Dunhuang."

Everyone has been introduced by Li Wei, and Ma Chaonaturally should also introduce himself.

"I don't know why Matthew Detention Center is here?"

Li Wei asked, in their opinion, this Dunhuang is too conservative and there is no good thing.

Ma Chao smiled, "I'm here today for your future!" ”

He said straight to the point, and Li Wei smiled when he heard it, "Matthew Shou should know what to do in our business, where is the future!" ”

"Yes, since the Li family knows the way, then why do you have to do this?"

Ma Chao asked Li Wei, Li Weixin said, it turns out that you are waiting for me here, it seems that you are about to fall behind.

"No, Matthew kept this to his point. It's not that our brothers have to do this, but they are forced to do it! ”

Ma Chao nodded, the meaning seemed to be understandable, "Could it be because of what happened back then?" ”

"Yes, that's what happened in the first place!"

Then, Li Wei told Ma Chao about the massacre of the villagers of Lijia Village when he burned Dangqiang. Although this is the second time Ma Chao has heard it, what the survivors of Lijia Village said and what Wang Yan heard were different.

Ma Chao was also in it, as if he had also seen the scene of burning Dangqiang and slaughtering the people, which was unbearable, and he could also feel Li Wei's hatred for them. No matter who it is, as long as it is still a normal person, it is impossible to be without hatred after seeing that relatives and friends have died tragically at the hands of foreign races, and Ma Chao is not incomprehensible.

But the eighteen sons transferred their hatred of the Qiang people to all the alien races, and he felt that this was not very good, after all, there was a wrong, a debtor, and the hatred of burning Qiang naturally looked for them, and the spearhead was directed at all alien races, and the scope of this blow was too large.

After Li Wei finished speaking, his eyes closed, and a few tears slipped out of the corners of his eyes, and the rest of the people, Ma Chao saw that their eyes were also red. Li Wei wiped his tears and slowly opened his eyes, "It made Matthew Shoujian smile." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I can understand the mood of Master Li."

"Since Ma Taishou understands, he should also know that with the eighteen of us, we can't compete with Burning Dangqiang at all. So we went to the vicinity of the Yumen Pass in Dunhuang, seeking like-minded friends and preparing to work together for great things. And in normal times, we plunder the past merchants, especially people of different races, and kill one by one, leaving no one alive! ”

Ma Chaoyi frowned, this Li Wei talked about killing people of different races, leaving no living mouth, it was like a matter of course, which showed the depth of the blow to him from the events of the year.

"I don't know how the big things of the Li family are going?"

Ma Chao asked again, the so-called big thing is the matter of revenge.

"Alas, Taishou also knows that although we are not only eighteen people now, this little bit of people is still not enough to look at Shangyao Dangqiang."

"Yes, Li Dangjia also knows the gap between himself and others, doesn't he have a sense of powerlessness?"

Li Wei shook his head after hearing this, "As the saying goes, 'A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late'!" We must avenge this revenge, and as for when it will be done, then we don't know the way. ”

Ma Chao sighed in his heart, there is only hatred in people's lives, how pitiful and pathetic. Seeing the eighteen sons now, it reminded him of Lu Bu and them at the beginning, and the situation of Zhang Yang was okay, at least better than those two. Lu Bu was the most affected and the most, and the hatred at the beginning has always affected him, because of his father's hatred, the sunshine boy (Ma Chao's evaluation) has turned into what it is now. As for Gao Shun, although he was not as serious as Lu Bu, he knew best how much he was affected.

These people were all hit hard when they were teenagers, and if it was a person like Ma Chao who had lived for more than 30 years, it is estimated that he would be less affected than them. Similarly, the eighteenth son also suffered a major blow when he was a teenager, and such an incident made them what they are today.

Ma Chao asked Li Wei again: "What if Li Dang's family can't take revenge in his life?" ”

In Ma Chao's opinion, Li Wei wants them to be like this all the time, and it is estimated that they will not want to take revenge for the rest of their lives. Because before he could take revenge, his own men and horses were exterminated by the imperial court first.

Why didn't you kill it before, you can only say that the previous Dunhuang was too guarded and too rice bucket, so he was laid off. And the appearance of Ma Chao made Liu Hong very happy, he would not move the imperial army for just a few hundred bandits, it would be too expensive. And when he was dozing, Ma Chao's pillow came, which should have been a problem to be solved by Taishou, and since Ma Chao went, there was naturally no need to transfer the army.

When Li Wei heard this, he said in his heart that this Ma Taishou always poured cold water on me, it seems that he is not optimistic that we can take revenge.

"Mattheshou, this kind of thing is unknown, if it is really as Matthew Shou said, then my generation can only be helpless. But our generation can't fulfill our wishes, and there are our descendants, and there are descendants......"

Li Wei said that he would not go on anymore, and after Ma Chao heard it, he admired the five-body throw. What kind of spirit is this, the spirit of Yugong moving mountains, he thinks that Li Wei's later words should say, "Although I die, there will be a son, and the son will give birth to a grandson, and the grandson will give birth to a son; Sons have sons, and sons have grandchildren; There is no shortage for children and grandchildren."

In Ma Chao's opinion, it is not unreasonable for him to think so. But Li Wei is confused, that burning Dangqiang is definitely not a mountain, and you Li Wei is definitely not a fool, at best you are just a fool. It doesn't matter if you live in hatred, you are ready to pass it on to the next generation, and then as long as the revenge is not repaid, the next generation will pass it on to the next generation.

And you, a fool, are likely to be destroyed by the imperial court in the middle of the way, and the descendants are estimated to be extinct. Ma Chao thought so, but he couldn't say it, he had found a problem so far, since then, Li Wei has been talking there alone, why didn't the other seventeen people say a word.

"I don't know why the other masters don't speak, is it because Li is in charge of the family?"

The other seventeen people didn't say a word, and when Li Wei heard it, he had a painful expression, "Don't hide it from Taishou, my other brothers can't speak anymore." ”

When Ma Chao heard it, what, he was all dumb? It's still seventeen dumb people, explosive news, this previous intelligence has not been said, seventeen dumb people out of eighteen people.

"Alas, our brothers were deeply affected by what happened back then, and the brothers took me as the eldest brother, and fell to the ground, and since then they have changed their names and vowed to take revenge. And when the other brothers have made their oaths, they ......"

Li Wei didn't want to say any more, so he only made a gesture at Ma Chao, stretched out his tongue, and then swiped his tongue with the palm of his hand. When Ma Chao saw it, he gasped, shocked, and had to be shocked. In order to avenge Mingzhi, seventeen people actually cut off their tongues in the end, and they all self-harmed to this extent. In order to take revenge, in order to remember the hatred, to himself, seventeen people were so ruthless, even Ma Chao was moved.

yes, my tongue is gone, and I still have to say something. But in fact, Ma Chao only wanted to be right about one-third, and seventeen people cut off their tongues to make it clear that they would not forget hatred and swear revenge.

But there are two other meanings that Li Wei understands, one is that he will never talk nonsense again, but is bent on the big thing of revenge, and the other is that everyone recommended Li Wei as the eldest brother, so he naturally believes in him, and knows that he will definitely be able to lead everyone to take revenge. So eighteen people only need to have one voice, and that is the voice of the boss Li Wei. It can be said that when seventeen people cut off their tongues, it is when seventeen people give themselves to Li Wei, and it is also when eighteen hearts are connected.

Although Li Wei understood the meaning of the seventeen people, he never acted arbitrarily. For example, this time about not letting Ma Chao go up the mountain, he came to a minority to obey the majority. In fact, in the eyes of the seventeen people, what the eldest brother Li Wei decided for them, they all had no complaints, or they didn't have to do it at the beginning, but Li Wei still respected most of the meaning.

Ma Chaoxin said, I met seventeen ruthless people today, and they are all so ruthless to themselves, let alone to the enemy and the enemy. If you can't talk about it today, then leave early and think about it in the long run. He could feel that the other people should be very obedient to Li Wei, if so, then all he had to do was to persuade Li Wei to be alone. However, from the current point of view, it is obvious that it does not have the desired effect. But I can't just give up, I have to continue to convince.

"Master Li really thinks well about revenge, but can you know the attitude of the imperial court?"

"Humph! Court? I don't care what it does, but I don't know where the court was when the accident happened. What is its attitude? ”

Ma Chao shook his head secretly, this Li Wei obviously has a great rejection of the government, although this is not hatred, but it is definitely resentment.

"Don't hide it from the owner, when I was in Luoyang, His Majesty was very concerned about the inside and outside of Yumen Pass, so His Majesty ordered me to solve this matter!"

Ma Chao felt that it was time for a showdown, whether it was successful or not. And if the lame man doesn't say a short word in front of him, he won't talk about the word bandit at this time, anyway, everyone understands it.

After Li Wei heard this, he sneered a few times, "Ma Taishou's words, can I understand that Taishou wants to be an enemy of us, and wants to send troops to exterminate us?" ”

When the other seventeen people heard this, their eyes all turned to Ma Chao. If his eyes could kill, he didn't know how many times he would die. Eye attack? I want to kill myself with my eyes, this group of ruthless people, still with this, Ma Chao thought to himself.

However, he only smiled at Li Weizhi's words, "No, this is not the right thing to say." The so-called 'not in his position, not in his government', now I was ordered by His Majesty to come to Dunhuang to solve the matter of Yumen Pass, in his position, I have to do it! ”

Li Wei smiled again, "I don't want to be an enemy of Taishou, Ma Taishou, it's okay for us to not violate the river water in the well water?" ”

Li Wei really didn't want to be an enemy of Ma Chao, or he didn't want to be an enemy of the imperial court. There are more than 200 people on his side, and the defenders of Dunhuang have 6,000, although the combat strength is almost there, but it is dozens of times better than his own. If there is a fight, even if people are halfway out, their own side will be enough to choke.

What's more important is that these eighteen people are burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, and if they want to die, they have to take revenge and die again. And the more than 190 people under his command are also the capital for revenge in the future, so he really doesn't want to be an enemy of Ma Chao.

Ma Chao shook his head slowly, "It's not that I am the enemy of the master, but that the leader is the enemy of the court and the people!" ”

"Dare to ask Ma Taishou, is there no room for negotiation in this matter?" Li Wei asked.

"The head of the house is knowingly asking, I remember that I said at the beginning that today is here for your future!" Ma Chao repeated his previous words again.

"Impossible! If Matthew Shou meant to ask us to surrender to the imperial court, it would be a big mistake. We will not surrender to the imperial court, Ma Taishou will die of this heart! ”

What Li Wei said was extremely firm, when Ma Chao saw it, his heart was finished, and today is completely out of play. This lobbyist is not qualified at all, and it seems that he is really not this material.

He got up and said to Li Wei: "Master, I hope you can think about what I said today." I don't believe you will know that what you are doing is not a long-term solution, and I can promise you not to be your enemy for the time being, and give you some time to think about it, and so far, farewell! ”

After speaking, Ma Chao turned around and was about to leave, but at this time, the other seventeen people except Li Wei also stood up.

Ma Chao saw it, "I don't know if you want to send me or do you want to keep me?" ”

He was not afraid of this at all, Ma Chao could restrain Li Wei as fast as he could, and then threaten them to let him go down the mountain.

And Li Wei waved his hand to everyone, "Let him go!" ”

As for whether Ma Chao is a master of art and bold, or an ignorant person is fearless, he has already made a conclusion. Take 10,000 steps back, even if Ma Chao can be left today, it is estimated that tomorrow's small hill will be flattened. Ma Chao is not a former merchant of Yumen Pass, let alone a foreign race, he is a county guard of the Han Dynasty, killing him is tantamount to openly rebelling against the court, it is a rebellion, Li Wei can't do that.

"Farewell!"

"Don't send it!"
