Chapter 124: Father and daughter recognize each other

At this time, in Huaili County, the right Fufeng County Governor, Ma Teng is leading his Ma family army to garrison here, he is eight feet tall, dignified, helmet and armor, looks mighty, and the two young generals under the tent are his eldest son Ma Xiu and second son Ma Tie, and the youngest son Ma Chao is only nine years old this year, although he is also arguing all day long to go to the battlefield, but Ma Teng will not agree.

"Father, we have been stationed in this Huaili County for more than a month, and this city can be taken without much effort, why do you always order the withdrawal of troops halfway through? And when I went to Huaili Ling, I also sent a letter to Kaicheng to open the city, why don't you allow it? ”

Ma Tie stood up and complained about Ma Teng with an unhappy face.

On the side, Ma Xiu smiled and said: "Second brother, you have been with your father for so many days in vain, if your father really wants to take this Huaili City, it will not be an easy matter?" And the reason why my father delayed time was not to paralyze that Han Sui? ”

Ma Tie listened to it and suddenly realized: "In the words of the eldest brother, the younger brother admires it!" ”

"Zhongqi, you should learn more from Boqi, although our Ma family started with martial arts, but if you don't have a little brain, you can only suffer in the end!" Ma Tenglang said with a smile, "I promised Han Sui on the surface that I would have trouble with him, but my heart is always focused on the Han family, but we only have less than 10,000 horses, and we really can't compete with Han Sui's 100,000 army, and the leader of the kingdom recommended by Han Sui also surrounded Chang'an City with 30,000 people, the court doesn't know what to think, and actually sent an incompetent person like Zhang Wen to be the commander, and even the kingdom can't beat it, how can we talk about the enemy Han Sui?" ”

Ma Xiu Zi Bo Qi, Ma Tie Zi Zhongqi, the two of them are also fifteen years old this year, Ma family boys, everyone is five years old to learn archery, ten years old to learn to ride a horse, fifteen years old to pick up a spear to kill the enemy, Ma Teng originally had two sons and a daughter, but the two sons died early, and the daughter was separated in the chaos more than ten years ago, so although the young son Ma Chao is not an adult, Ma Teng has taken the word for him for Meng Qi.

Ma Xiu said at this time: "It's just that there are Han Sui's people in his hometown, although my father has a heart for Han, but he is also worried that if he openly submits to the imperial court, Han Sui's people will harm his mother and Meng Qi, so we can only pretend here, Han Sui is no matter how angry he is, there is nothing he can do with his father!" ”

Between the words, a herald hurriedly entered the account: "Lord Qiqi, I just got the tip-off, Han Sui and Bian Zhang encountered Dong Zhuo's people in Meiyang, and Dong Zhuo used a trick, first killed Bian Zhang, and then retreated in panic because of his natural vision, and was pursued by Dong Zhuo all the way, with many casualties, and the army was defeated, and Han Sui himself almost died, and he had retreated to Yuzhong with the remnants of the defeated army!" ”

Ma Teng listened, surprised and delighted, happy that he finally waited for this opportunity, if Han Sui was defeated, Ma Teng could justifiably return to the imperial court, and was surprised that although Han Sui was in civil strife, he was also strong and strong, no less than tens of thousands, and he would be defeated by a mere Dong Zhuo, it was really a capsized boat in the gutter.

"Hahaha, father, Han Sui is already too busy to take care of himself, let's not care about it here, just wave his troops to the east * to raid the kingdom that besieges Chang'an, if the kingdom is defeated, the court will definitely remember my father's great credit!" Ma Tie was overjoyed.

At this moment, the herald came to report again: "Lord, there is a woman who calls herself Helan Demon, saying that she was ordered by Gao Yi, the rebellious general, to send a letter of persuasion to the lord!" ”

Ma Tie was furious when he heard this: "What kind of character is Gao Yi, who dares to persuade his father to surrender?" Let me cut this messenger with a sword! ”

"Second brother, slow down!" Ma Xiu grabbed Ma Tie, looked back at Ma Teng and said, "Isn't my father going to submit to the imperial court?" If the messenger were killed, and the court would think that the father was not truly obedient, wouldn't the consequences be terrible! ”

Ma Teng nodded and scolded Ma Tiedao: "Zhongqi will step down for me, see this messenger first, I heard that Gao Yi is only seventeen years old, but he can be a commander all the way, it must be very difficult!" ”

As soon as the Helan Demon entered the Ma family barracks, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, just like duckweed that had been drifting for many days, and finally returned to the pond that belonged to it.

At this time, she had already changed her outfit, like the falling moon, dressed neatly in black, led by Ma Teng's own soldiers, and went straight into the big tent of the Chinese army, and naturally saw Ma Teng who was sitting in danger and the generals of the Ma family who were also waiting for him below.

"Doesn't Gao Yi have 8,000 soldiers? How did you send only one woman? Ma Tie saw the Helan Demon and sneered in his mouth.

"Yes, yes, I heard that Wancheng under Gao Yi was flooded for a few days and tens of thousands of people, and the people and horses he brought from Jizhou also died of the plague. Hahahaha! The other generals laughed loudly, and they were extremely presumptuous.

Helan Demon remained silent, and looked directly at Ma Teng, who was not smiling: "The little woman heard that the Ma family army had attacked Huaili City for more than a month, and she didn't believe it at first, but it turned out to be a group of stinky men who could only take advantage of their tongues, so it's no wonder that she didn't do anything!" ”

"You!" One of the generals was furious, stopped the Helan Demon, pulled out his sword with a sonorous sound, and shouted, "You girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, let you know how powerful a man is!" ”

Saying that, the general stabbed at the Helan Demon with his sword, Helan Demon chuckled, and between the twists of his body, he staggered with the general, which seemed impermanent, but when the general was about to swing his sword and stab at the back of Helan Demon, he was poofed and planted a heel, when he got up in embarrassment, he was shocked to find that his armor was untied at some point, and even the clothes he was wearing slipped and fell to the ground. The generals in the tent burst into laughter.

Ma Teng couldn't laugh, just now this Helan Demon was so fast that he didn't even see how he made a move, but what interested him even more was that when he saw Helan Demon at first glance, he felt a little like his wife who had been dead for many years.

His mother is a Qiang person, and his wife is also a Qiang person, because of this, he has been ostracized since he was a child and is suspected of being an outlier, but whenever he thinks of the name of Ma Yuan, the general of the ancestral Han Fubo, Ma Teng will feel his blood boiling.

That year, the Qiang rebelled, and he and his wife were separated among the fleeing refugees, who had just given birth, holding their newborn daughter, who was being abused by a group of Qiang soldiers when Ma Teng found her.

It was the first time Ma Teng killed someone, and he will never forget the desperate eyes of those Qiang soldiers when they were killed by him, and he will never forget the scene when his wife grabbed his hand tightly and said, "We must find our daughter".

On that day, it rained heavily for three days and three nights, as if to see off his wife.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Ma Xiu called Ma Teng many times in a row, Ma Teng woke up from his memories, he suppressed the surging feelings in his heart, only to see that Helan Demon had taken out the letter written by Gao Yi, Ma Teng took it, opened it, hurriedly finished reading, and laughed, "Gao Yi, this kid is really good, not only can martial arts, but also can write, say that I am the grass on the wall, swaying, will only wait and see, this pole is better than his gun!" ”

Ma Tie was not angry when he heard this: "Father, which green onion is he Gao Yi counted, and it is also his turn to count his father?" ”

Ma Xiu frowned and said: "Second brother, you are wrong, Gao Yi actually thinks the same as his father, at this time, it is the right time to return to the imperial court, if you wait until the official army has pacified the traitors before returning to Shun, the imperial court will definitely feel that your father is opportunistic, and maybe you will design to frame your father!" ”

Ma Teng listened, and was noncommittal, but stared at the Helan Demon again and again.

Helan Demon felt that this Ma Teng was really weird, so he simply said politely: "What do you see, you are so old, do you still want the old cow to eat tender grass?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers on the account burst into laughter.

Ma Teng Huoran got up and came to Helan Demon with an extremely solemn expression: "Let me ask you a question, where are you from?" ”

Helan Demon felt that Ma Teng's question was really inexplicable, so he said perfunctorily: "Where else did it come from?" Naturally, it came from the mother's womb! ”

Between Ma Teng's words, his fists suddenly came out, Helan Demon was caught off guard, and his hand was actually held by Ma Teng, she couldn't help but sigh that Ma Teng had done a lot of kung fu, and when she was about to break free, she suddenly had a pain in her fingertips, and Ma Teng actually pulled out the dagger on her body and cut Helan Demon's fingers!

"You...... It's too much! Helan Demon was furious, why was this Ma Teng so rude, and she was so ugly in public.

Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and the generals couldn't understand it, did Ma Teng want to rob him as a concubine?

Everyone was shocked, but saw that Ma Teng cut his finger with his backhand, and the blood suddenly dripped down, Ma Teng stretched out his hand and connected his own blood and the blood of Helan Demon in the basin in the tent, and then let go of Helan Demon's hand.

"Huh!" Helan Demon took a few steps back, immediately took out a towel from his arms to cover the wound, looked at Ma Teng hatefully and said, "The letter has been sent to the little girl, there is nothing else, the little woman will leave!" ”

As soon as the Helan Demon arrived outside the tent, he heard Ma Teng shouting: "Slow! ”

With just one sound, the guards at the door, as well as all the generals in the tent, all pulled out their weapons and blocked the way of the Helan Demon.

Helan Demon stared at these people with a pair of dark eyes, and said coldly: "If I want to leave, you may not be able to stop me!" ”

Ma Tie also sneered: "You can try!" ”

"What are you doing here! Put your weapons down for me! As soon as Ma Teng looked up, he saw this tense situation, and couldn't help but scold.

"Father, aren't you going to keep her?" Ma Tie looked at Ma Teng puzzled.

Ma Teng said angrily: "What to leave or not, she is your sister Yunlu!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Helan Demon couldn't help but be stunned.

Ma Teng looked at Helan Demon and said: "Only the blood of relatives can be blended, I saw you just now, I felt familiar, I didn't expect that you are really my daughter Yunlu!" ”

"I just cut my finger to get blood, so that's why?" Helan Demon only felt that his brain was blank at the moment, but his body couldn't help but think about the basin next to Ma Teng, and sure enough, he saw that the blood that had dripped earlier was fused together.

Helan Demon still didn't believe it, took off the scarf, and put a few drops of blood on his fingers, and sure enough, it was all fused with Ma Teng's blood!

Seeing this, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie also drew their swords and cut their fingers, and put a few drops of their own blood into the basin, and the blood of the four slowly blended in the water, which is the best explanation.

"Sister, you are really our sister!" Ma Xiu and Ma Tie never expected it, and their faces were filled with smiles of surprise.

Helan Demon shook his head and took a few steps back, muttering in his mouth, "How is this possible, how is it possible?" ”

Ma Teng said: "It's all my fault, I didn't protect you and your mother back then, your mother still shouted your name before she died, and refused to close her eyes until she died, Yunlu, my child, you suffered!" ”

These words were tantamount to another thunderbolt from the sky, and Helan Demon was stunned for a while: "What, my mother and her, are dead?" ”

Ma Teng strode over, took Helan Demon into his arms, patted her thin shoulder and said: "Don't talk about those unhappy things, today is a good day, our father and daughter can be reunited, this is a good thing, a good thing!" ”

"Father!" Helan Demon didn't come back to her senses until this time, she hugged Ma Teng tightly, lost her mood for many years, and finally stopped being melancholy, she thought that after so many years, it was impossible to find her biological parents, but she didn't expect that her father was Ma Teng, the leader of Ma Jiajun, she cried, cried recklessly, cried happily, cried crazy.

"Good boy, you must have suffered a lot of grievances!" Ma Teng completely put down the shelf of a big man at this moment, stroking Helan Demon's hair emotionally, his voice was full of choked and self-blame, at this moment, he was just a father, he looked up at the sky affectionately, showing a relieved smile.

Aya, I have found our daughter Yunlu, your spirit in the sky, can rest in peace!

Ma Xiu and Ma Tie also pounced together, and they also cried loudly: "Father, sister!" It's great that we're reunited! ”

Helan Demon looked at Ma Tie and laughed and sneered with tears: "Didn't you still treat me as an enemy just now?" ”

Ma Tie smiled: "Just now, I wasn't stupid!" ”

The generals under the tent congratulated together: "Congratulations to the lord, reunite with Miss Yunlu!" ”

On that day, Ma Teng ordered to kill pigs and sheep, held a feast in the army, to celebrate the return of Helan Demon, the banquet was staggered, talking and laughing, father and daughter talked about the past, Helan Demon only then knew that her real name was Ma Yunlu in Ma Teng's mouth, and Ma Teng was also shocked to learn that his daughter was adopted by Wen Chou, one of the four court pillars in Hebei, he thought about it, and said to Helan Demon: "The grace of nurturing, don't forget it, I should go to Gao Yi camp to meet this person!" ”

Helan Demon was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and asked Ma Teng rhetorically: "So my father agreed to return to the imperial court?" ”

Ma Teng smiled: "The matter of returning to obedience, I will talk about it later, although Han Sui and his father are righteous brothers, but they are no longer suspicious of being a father all the time, this time I can release the news of the reunion of you and my father and daughter, and then go to Chang'an, Han Sui will not help me, but Meng Qi is still in his hometown, Boqi, Zhongqi!" ”

"The child is here!" Matthew and Ma Tie said in unison.

Ma Teng said: "You two quickly lead two thousand military horses, return to Maoling day and night, and bring Meng Qi and your mother to the army, because my father is worried that Han Sui will not remember friendship and harm their lives!" ”

Ma Xiu Ma Tie knew that this matter was very important, and he did not dare to slack off: "The child receives the order, and he will definitely bring his mother and Meng Qi back intact!" ”

Ma Teng said to Helan Demon: "Yunlu, you go back to Chang'an first, once you learn that Meng Qi's mother and son are safe, I will lead the troops to the east and personally behead the kingdom!" ”

Helan Demon listened, shook his head and said: "My daughter has also practiced the ability to work carefully over the years, if that Han Sui secretly makes it bad, it will not be good, it is better for my daughter to go to Maoling with her two younger brothers, and after rescuing her family, she will come here to meet her father!" ”

Ma Teng nodded: "It's still Yunlu who thinks about it thoroughly, it's okay, my father is here to wait for your good news!" ”
