After Liu Bei was crowned king, there were storms and discussions everywhere in the world.

Not only Yuan Shu, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, but also Cao Cao, who was nearby, was very unhappy. As soon as Liu Bei became the king, the forces of the Son of Heaven also tended to him, and the three states of Qing, Hebei and Youzhou also returned to their hearts, although they did not know what the situation was, but Liu Bei monopolized four of the thirteen states in the world, and he was almost already looking at the world, no matter which way the princes were, it was always inevitable to be frightened.

Finally, the old boy Yuan Shu couldn't sit still.

After the failure of the joint attack with Cao Cao to kill Zhao Xu; Lu Bu couldn't stand Yuan Shu's insults and slammed the door, and almost turned his face with Yuan Shu, but after that, Chen Gong sent a lot of gold and silver to apologize, telling that Lu Bu was just a momentary anger. Yuan Shu originally wanted to attack Lu Bu, but under the persuasion of his subordinates Ji Ling, General Yang, etc., he gave up and had to agree to Lu Bu's request for peace. Lu Bu was pleasantly surprised and declared that he would marry his baby daughter to Yuan Shu's son, Yuan Shu was also angry when he heard it, and continued to fund Lu Bu, but Lu Bu and Yuan Shu were no different, and the two intersected as allies.

When Liu Bei was crowned king, Tao Qian of Xuzhou was seriously ill, and Yuan Shu took the opportunity to discuss with Lu Bu, and according to the agreement, after destroying Tao Qian, Xuzhou was divided equally. Lu Bu was originally sent under the fence, very unhappy, if Tao Qian is destroyed now, even if he divides his land equally, he will have a place to stay, as for recruiting troops and buying horses, it will be no problem to conquer the world.

Yuan Shu was cunning, he was unwilling to do it himself, and only sent 50,000 soldiers to help Lu Bu attack Xuzhou, although Lu Bu was dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's arrogance, but he relied on him to live, not to mention that Yuan Shu also sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to help him, and he didn't have a seizure, listen to Chen Gong's opinion, plus his own years of recruitment, he also has 50,000 elite soldiers, and Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are combined, out of Yangzhou, attack Xuzhou, under the pressure of the army, assassinate Shi Taoqian and seriously ill, even if he has the heart, he is powerless, for a time Xuzhou is passive, within dozens of days, By Lu Bu's army Lianke Guangling and Xiapi two counties, Lu Bu's army pointed to Xuzhou City, Tao Qian hurriedly issued urgent documents to the imperial court and Liu Bei for help.

In Luoyang, it was a different story, after Liu Bei proclaimed himself king; The envoys of the princes from all walks of life also went back one after another, although Cao Cao was ranked in Jiuqing, but he really couldn't get used to Liu Bei's superiority. As the saying goes: the official level crushes people to death. Cao Cao always has to salute every time he sees Liu Bei, which is really not a taste in Cao Cao's heart for a man who pretends to be a member of the Han family, but in fact he is just a poor boy who sells straw sandals. After discussing with his subordinates Xun Yu and others, he felt that he would be suppressed by Liu Bei if he stayed in Luoyang, and he would never be able to turn over. He told Liu Xie that there were still remnants of the Yellow Turban in Yanzhou, and he was afraid that the rear would be unstable, so he led the army back.

Ma Chao has been in Luoyang for a long time, but Ma Teng, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie were afraid that Ma Chao would make trouble, so they restrained Ma Chao and restricted Ma Chao's actions; However, not only is Ma Chao restricted, Ma Chao's sister, Ma Teng's baby daughter Ma Yunlu is also an idle girl, Ma Teng's father and son plus Pang De spent a lot of effort to lock up Ma Yunlu and Ma Chao.

On this day, Zhao Xu was playing chess with Chen Zhi in the courtyard, and at a critical juncture, suddenly a shouting voice came from outside the door: "Get out of the way, I'm a friend of Brother Zhao Xu." Zhao Xu and Chen Zhijun heard the voice very familiarly, and they couldn't remember who it was for a while, and the two were standing up and wanted to ask, only to see a person jump out of the door, and the person who came was none other than Ma Chao.

It turned out that although Ma Teng and others locked Ma Chao in the room, Ma Chao's martial arts were extremely high, how could he be locked in a house, it happened that Liu Xie invited Liu Bei, Ma Teng and others to enter the palace today, the two brothers of the Ma family and Pang De both went, Ma Chao seized the opportunity, broke the window, and escaped. As soon as he came out, he came to find Zhang Fei, Ma Chao didn't know where Zhang Fei lived, and when he heard Zhang Fei's residence, Zhang Fei was not there, it happened that Liu Bei's subordinate generals all lived on the front line, Ma Chao even asked a few mansions, Dian Wei and others were not there, this time he came to Zhao Xu's mansion, saw Zhao Xu playing chess in the courtyard, he was overjoyed, and he broke in.

The guards at Zhao Xu's gate were newly transferred from the Haolong Xuanjia Army, so they didn't recognize Ma Chao After Ma Chao broke in, he rushed up from behind to take down Ma Chao. Seeing this, Zhao Xu hurriedly shouted: "Don't do it, this is the son of Wuwei Hou, Ma Chao, he is also my friend." When the guards heard what Zhao Xu said in person, they naturally didn't dare to do it again, so they made a call to Zhao Xu and retreated.

Ma Chao saw Zhao Xu and Chen Dao, and laughed, "Brother Boxiong, and Shuzhi, you made me look for it so hard!" ”

Chen Zhi was puzzled and asked, "Meng Qi, what are you looking for us to do?" ”

Ma Chao smiled: "Originally, I wanted to go to find Yide first, but who thought he was not there, so he came to you, Brother Boxiong, but he wanted to kill me." Ma Chao stepped forward and punched Zhao Xu and Chen Zhi respectively.

Zhao Xu and Chen Zhi looked at each other and laughed, Zhao Xu stepped forward, also hammered Ma Chao, and said with a smile: "Yes!" A few days ago, I was busy with the lord's king affairs, and I was so busy that I didn't have time to see you, so I came and drank a few glasses first. ”

After that, Zhao Xu invited Ma Chao and Chen Zhi to sit side by side, and the housekeeper immediately sent someone to serve drinks and snacks. Zhao Xu is talking about gossip with Ma Chao and Chen Zhi, and is talking about benefits.

Outside the door, there were voices that Zhao Xu and Chen Zhi were very familiar with, "Madam! I heard the guard shouting outside the door. Zhao Xu and Chen Zhi's faces changed. In Ma Chao's opinion, seeing that Zhao Xu and Chen Zhi both heard this and changed their complexions, they seemed to have a number in their hearts.

"Husband......" Zhao Xu, Chen Dao, and Ma Chao heard the voice, and walked in from outside the door, it was Zhao Xue and Zhen Mi.

"Xue'er (Mi'er)." Zhao Xu and Chen Zhi both got up and said.

"Didn't you go to the palace? Why did you come back so soon? Oh! Meng Qi, come, let's introduce. Zhao Xu said hurriedly.

Without waiting for Zhao Xu to finish speaking, Ma Chao got up and bowed down and said: "Ma Chao has seen two sisters-in-law here, and I have long heard that Zhao Xue, the wife of Brother Zhao Xu, is outstanding in appearance, both civil and military, and has admired her name for a long time." ”

Although Zhen Mi was infected with some of Zhao Xue's open habits, she still couldn't be like Zhao Xue in front of outsiders, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Zhen Mi has seen General Ma and has heard of his name for a long time." ”

Zhao Xue smiled, helped Ma Chao up and said with a smile: "General Ma has won the award, and I often hear my husband mention you, saying that Ma Chao, the son of Xiliang Ma Teng, is strong in martial arts, and he has a battle with Lu Buyou." ”

Ma Chao was taken aback after hearing this, although Ma Chao admired Zhao Xu's martial arts, he never thought that Zhao Xu would praise himself so much in front of his wife, and he couldn't help but be a little moved and grateful, and subconsciously glanced at Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu saw that Zhao Xue and Zhen Mi directly put themselves and Chen Zhi aside, felt a little embarrassed, smiled too, and said, "Hey! You two haven't answered my question yet! You just don't take your husband seriously? ”

Zhen Mi's face flushed, and she hurriedly walked to Chen Zhi's side, holding Chen Zhi's hand, and Chen Zhi smiled at Zhao Xu with satisfaction. Zhao Xue smiled at Zhao Xu, jumped over and smiled: "What? Brother Zhao Xu also learned to drink vinegar? ”

Zhao Xu was so fooled by Zhao Xue, but he was taken into the army; His face couldn't help but blush, and even his tone of voice became stammering, "No... No, I didn't mean that. ”

Zhao Xue couldn't help but laugh when she saw that Zhao Xu was being countered by herself, and said with a smile: "Originally, Sister Zhen Mi and I were going to the palace, who knew that we met an acquaintance on the road, guess who it was." ”

"Acquaintance, where can I guess this?" Zhao Xu touched his head and said.

"Hah! I know you can't guess, Sister Yunlu, come out! ”

As soon as Ma Chao heard the word "Yunlu", his expression changed, and it was more exaggerated than Zhao Xu and Chen Zhi's expressions at that time, which made Jin Ma Chao scared as if a mouse met a cat, there are few people in this world, Zhao Xu couldn't help but think of a little girl's name, and at the same time, he probably guessed who it was. is the woman who married Zhao Yun in the legend, the Ma Yunlu who is known as "Wu is better than Lu Bu, outwitted Kong Ming, and looks better than Mink Chan". Zhao Xu thought in his heart. Zhao Xu has a good impression of this future brother and sister, and he doesn't know if it's because he has thoughts about the future, or if Ma Yunlu's personality is too similar to the person he liked in his previous life.

"Get out of the way." With a childish drink, a young and beautiful little girl dressed in white like Zhao Xue walked in, she combed a cute hairstyle similar to the princess head in later generations, her big eyes were sultry, and her eyes were bright.

"This is Brother Zhao Xu! I often hear Sister Zhao Xue mention you, and I have admired your name for a long time. Oh! There is also this Chen Zhi's brother. The little girl walked into the room and saluted Zhao Xu and Chen Zhi, completely ignoring Ma Chao next to her.

"Sister, why did you come out?" Ma Chao's expression was very surprised and asked.

Ma Yunlu looked at Ma Chao squarely, stuck his waist, and shouted at Ma Chao angrily: "Hmph! Third brother, you still have the face to say, while your father and eldest brother and second brother went out, you actually ran out without permission, and you didn't call me. ”

"Uh...... This ......" Ma Chao was speechless for a while, and secretly sighed.

Zhao Xu clearly saw Ma Chao and exhaled lightly. No wonder later generations rumored how powerful Ma Yunlu, the little sister of the Ma family, is, it is not surprising that Ma Yunlu has given Ma Teng and Ma Chao a headache since he was a child. Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel funny.

But also, Ma Teng loves Ma Yunlu and regards him as a pearl in his hand, Ma Yunlu has loved martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts are actually higher than Ma Tie and Ma Xiu's two elder brothers. Therefore, Ma Teng also wants to find a heroic son-in-law for Ma Yunlu, and the Ma family brother is just such a sister, naturally he is also very fond of him, staring at the stinky boy who does not know the sky and the earth who comes to ask for marriage all day long, and makes a rule that those who can win the three brothers of the Ma family can marry Ma Yunlu as his wife. also because of Ma Yunlu, Ma Chao indirectly beat the entire Xiliang, so she didn't find a husband until she was in her twenties, until she met Zhao Yun in fate.

It is precisely because of the love of her father who dominates one side and her brother who is famous in martial arts that Miss Ma has been difficult to look down on others since she was a child, and she only loves heroes and heroes. It's a pity that there aren't many heroes in the world. She has dealt with a lot of others in her life, but except for Ma Teng and Ma Chao, there is no one she can look up to, and even Ma Dai is only half a hero in her eyes. However, Zhao Xu and others are exceptions, Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and others are famous all over the world, she has also heard of them in Xiliang, and she can't help but yearn for them, and later got acquainted with Zhao Xue on the battlefield, Zhao Xue's martial arts are as high as her, and she is talented and good-looking, and she chatted with her; I often hear Zhao Xue talk about Zhao Xu's deeds, so she also has great respect for Zhao Xu. However, there is a person whose heroism in Ma Yunlu's mind is even above Ma Chao and Zhao Xu, and the hero of Nanyang Bowangpo is in and out of the battle, three in and three out, like no one's land, and she has admired the image of this hero before she saw it.

Ma Yunlu didn't care about Ma Chao's face at all, and said him one after another, Ma Chao was choked speechless, Zhao Xu saw it in his eyes, and hurriedly gave Zhao Xue a look, Zhao Xue immediately understood, and immediately stepped forward to grab Ma Yunlu and said: "Okay, Sister Yunlu, they are all men like this, don't worry about your brother, even if you want to teach General Ma a lesson, wait for you to go back, we still have our business!" Give my sister a face. ”

Ma Yunlu has a lot of respect for Zhao Xue, and treats Zhao Xue as his own sister, hearing Zhao Xue say this, he also feels that he really Zhao Xu and Chen Zhi said this about Ma Chao, it is indeed too much, so naturally he didn't dare to say it again, only shouted: "Okay!" I won't worry about you today, but I'm not sparing you, I'm giving my sister Xue'er face. ”

After Zhao Xue and Zhen Mi pulled Ma Yunlu away, Ma Chao sighed, shook his head, and said, "Alas! I'm a girl! This girl, I really hope someone can cure her. ”

Since Zhen Mi was "bad" by Zhao Xue, Chen Zhi loved his wife very much, and he couldn't do anything about Zhen Mi, so he looked at Ma Chao sympathetically and expressed his deep sympathy.

Zhao Xu looked at Ma Yunlu and thought about it, this girl, it's time to let her future husband, Zilong, meet.
