"Brother~~!" Ma Yunlu couldn't help it now, and pounced on Ma Zongheng, crying bitterly, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain. The smart Ma Yunlu seems to feel that her brother is likely to never come back for a long, long time after he leaves. Ma Yunlu, who didn't want to leave, clasped Ma Zongheng tightly with his arms and refused to let him leave.

"Big brother! Dad's temper, you know, he! Matthew's eyes were also red, and he was anxious to persuade. Ma Zongheng's face darkened, and he said, "Brother Hugh, there is no need to say more. I've exhausted all the methods in the past few days, but my father is still cold to me. My ambition is different from that of my father, and this is not something that can be solved in a few words. Now that the world is unstable, not only Cao thieves, but also the princes are jealous of my Ma family. Now that you are both adults, after I leave, you will have to take care of the whole family and Yunlu. ”

"Big brother, is there really no way to reconcile with my father?" But look, Ma Tie, who is rough on the surface but delicate in his heart, has already cried into tears and shouted sadly.

"Woo woo ~ ~ !! Big brother finally came back for a trip, people don't want it~~!! Big brother don't go~~Woo woo~~Don't go~~" Ma Yunlu cried so loudly that Ma Zongheng became more sad the more he listened, thinking that although his sister was smart and clever, she was still young after all, and it was no wonder that it was difficult to accept that her favorite brother had a falling out with her most respected father. So, Ma Zongheng Haosheng comforted him for a while, and Ma Yunlu gradually stopped his tears. Ma Zongheng then cast a look at Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, and the two of them understood, and hurriedly came to appease Ma Yunlu and helped her aside.

After a while, Ma Zongheng's face suddenly sank, and he asked Ma Xiu, who had a rather calm personality: "Brother Hugh, where is there a more suitable place to talk here, I have something to order." ”

When Ma Xiu heard this, he was slightly stunned at first, but he quickly reacted, after all, he was also aware of the tense atmosphere in recent days, and it was vaguely as if the situation in the world was about to change dramatically, and it would be closely related to their Ma family. Of course, Matthew was still young, and it was remarkable to be able to perceive this.

"Big brother, please come with me." Matthew's expression was solemn, and he replied. Ma Yunlu's color changed slightly, and now he seems to understand that the matter is serious, but he doesn't cry anymore. Ma Tie hesitated, but still said: "Big brother, this little sister she..."

"I'm going too!!" Ma Yunlu seemed to guess what Ma Tie was going to say, and shouted anxiously. Ma Zongheng sighed and said lightly: "My little sister is naturally smart, even you and my brother are inferior, plus my father spoils her, maybe at a critical moment, it can help a lot." Let her come along. ”

After speaking, Ma Zongheng took a step and called Ma Xiu to lead the way. Matthew nodded, and led the way.

When he was young, Matthew led everyone to a rather large side courtyard in the northeast corner of the General's Mansion, and then opened the door and led everyone into the room.

"This is the place where my father is going to stay for my eldest brother to come back in the future, and someone will come to clean it on weekdays. Other than that, few people will come here, and my brother can speak with confidence. Matthew said with a deep face. When Ma Zongheng heard this, he couldn't help but move his heart, but he saw that this room was not only outlined, but also delicately decorated, with beast carving bronze utensils, and there were many books, Ma Zongheng curiously took out one to see, it was still the book he loved to read at home when he was young, and then took out a few more, all of which were all books about the art of war that he loved to read.

"Haha, these are all books that my eldest brother loves to read, this is when we moved from Fufeng, my father specially taught people to sort it out, and I was reluctant to throw miles~! On weekdays, the third brother likes to come here and peek at the eldest brother's book! Ma Tie saw that the atmosphere was dull, and he wanted to be active, but he didn't expect him to say this, and Ma Zongheng's expression couldn't help but be a little more gloomy. Ma Xiu's expression couldn't help but change, and he glared at Ma Tie and scolded: "Big Iron Bull is so talkative!" ”

Ma Tie also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked Ma Zongheng: "By the way, the eldest brother didn't say that he had something to order, I don't know what the matter is." If there is something at home, the younger brother can help, the eldest brother, you can tell me. ”

As soon as Ma Tie said this, Ma Xiu, who was beside him, also responded: "That's right, the eldest brother has great ambitions, he is powerful in the Central Plains, and he has not been at home for a long time. And although my father is dedicated to serving the country, he is a traitor in the DPRK and China, and I am afraid that he will not be harmed by others in the future. ”

Ma Xiu's words came out, but what he said made Ma Zongheng's eyes light up, and his uncertain heart suddenly became a little more stable, and said with a smile: "Although the third brother is young, but listening to your analysis, I know that your talent is not inferior to some so-called Coats, it seems that you must have spent a lot of hard work and study on weekdays, which really makes me quite gratified." ”

"The eldest brother praises falsely, and the younger brother just wants to learn and succeed, and can share the worries of his father and brother!" Matthew was a little embarrassed to be praised by Ma Zongheng like this, but his heart was happy, and he was busy responding modestly.

"How can the eldest brother only see the third brother attacking? I also practice martial arts weekdays, you can see my body, you know that I have never been lazy! Seeing that Ma Xiu was praised, Ma Tie was not far behind, and fiddled with his strong posture, shouting to Ma Zongheng as if asking for merit. Ma Zongheng was amused by Ma Tie like this, and couldn't help laughing: "I saw that the fourth brother's skills rose sharply that day, and I knew that you are also hard working on weekdays, but by force alone, you can at most be an enemy of 100 people, only by learning the art of war and using it well, can you become a general who defeats 10,000 enemies!" You have to learn this from your third brother, Doga. ”

Ma Tie was a little disappointed when Ma Zongheng said this, and he promised with a bang. Ma Yunlu, who was on the side, couldn't help giggling. Ma Xiu felt very respectful, and did not forget to taunt Ma Tie a few words: "How is it, big iron bull!" I said that brute force alone is difficult to achieve, so that you always rely on your own strength on weekdays to show off your strength in front of me! ”

It turns out that Ma Xiu and Ma Tie often have martial arts competitions, and Ma Tie's natural strength is amazing, so Ma Xiu is often defeated by Ma Tie, and he is inevitably laughed at by Ma Tie. At this time, Matthew felt a little proud of his eyebrows.

"Humph! Let you be proud for a while, and wait for the next competition, I won't let you! When Ma Tie heard this, he was not willing to be embarrassed by Ma Xiu, and shouted with his big eyes.

"You!!" Ma Xiu was provoked by Ma Tie, his eyes widened with anger, and he scolded angrily: "It's really rotten wood that can't be carved!" Don't you think I'm all for you~!? ”

"Ha~! That's a nice thing to say, dare you compare it now!? Ma Tie sneered, and then took a sharp step. At this moment, a terrifying momentum suddenly rose, shocking Ma Tie and Ma Xiu's faces suddenly changed.

"Enough!! As flesh and blood brothers, you two should work together and support each other, it's good to have competition on weekdays, but if you hurt your feelings, then you must not!! Hearing the sound of Ma Zongheng's shouting like a bell, the two of them couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly agreed.

Ma Yunlu saw that Ma Zongheng was rarely angry with them, and he also obediently pacified them. Ma Xiu and Ma Tie also admitted their mistakes to Ma Zongheng again. Ma Zongheng's face turned better at this time, and he said shockingly: "Now that you two have grown up, it's time to share the burden for the family." Brother Hugh, you are right, my Ma family is now powerful, sitting on the four states of Yong, Liang, Yan, and Hebei, and there are hundreds of thousands of people with armor closer, who is not afraid of the princes in the world? But my father refused to listen to my persuasion, and was bent on supporting the Han family, and now Cao Thief has taken action. You still don't have to wait for the details, even if I talk to you in detail, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to understand it after a while. So I only have one request, that is, you have to monitor your father on weekdays, and you must not let your father leave Chang'an! If you want to go to Luoyang, you must stop your father in every possible way, and try your best to inform Meng Qi and me! ”

In the end, Ma Zongheng's face became particularly stern. Ma Xiu and Ma Tie couldn't help but get nervous. Ma Yunlu frowned tightly with a pair of crescent eyebrows: "Does the eldest brother mean that the Cao thief will lure his father to Luoyang and then secretly murder him?" ”

"Yes, too!" Ma Zongheng saw that Ma Yunlu was the first to react, glanced at her silently, and then said: "Dad cares too much about the ambition of the ancestor Fubo, and wants to serve the court, I am afraid that Cao Thief will one day lure Daddy to Luoyang in the name of the Son of Heaven." In this way, Daddy has undoubtedly become a fish on someone else's knife, to be slaughtered! Now my father has become suspicious of me, and I am afraid that I will not rely on me as much as before in the future, and Meng Qi has always been valued by my father, and now he guards Xiliang and kills Yan and Li The two thieves can be regarded as growing. And he is closer to Xiliang, so once you find out that your father intends to go to Luoyang, you must do your best, after all, I am in Yanzhou, and it is really difficult to rush back to Chang'an. At that time, I am afraid that I will still have to rely on Meng Qi! Here I have a letter, and when you wait for one of them to give it to him, he will understand. Ma Zongheng said, took out a letter from his arms, Ma Xiu's expression was anxious, and he was about to pick it up, but Ma Yunlu reacted faster and snatched it over.

"Little sister, don't make trouble!!" Matthew couldn't help but look nervous, and hurriedly shouted. Ma Yunlu wrinkled his nose and said: "You didn't listen to the eldest brother, this matter is very important, you usually love to please your father's joy, I'm afraid that you will leak your mouth for a while, this letter is still temporarily kept by me, it is safer!" ”

"You are a little demon, you dare to slander me!" Ma Xiu was so angry that Ma Yunlu's face turned red when he said this. Ma Yunlu was not afraid of him, he hid behind Ma Zongheng, and did not forget to make a grimace at Ma Xiu.

"Alright, Brother Hugh. Yun Lu actually has the heart to help you, just follow her, and she is a girl after all, you have to be more careful, you will let her be more if you are a brother. Speaking of which, Ma Zongheng saw that the night was not early, and he should go back to prepare, but he was more reluctant in his heart, and he himself understood that once he left this time, he didn't know when he would come back, so he sighed and said: "Eh... In the future, you should take care of each other, brothers and sisters should respect each other, and it is okay to have a small fight, and you must not hurt your feelings. Sometimes, or because of different aspirations and ideas, you will quarrel and even fight, but you must remember that nothing in the world is more important than your family. In the end, no matter what happens, once the brother and sister are in trouble, they must be rescued and accepted, if they ask for something, as long as it is not harmful to nature and morality, they should do their best to help! ”
