Ma Chao rushed to the East Courtyard with the remaining soldiers, preparing to rescue Ma Yunlu.

It was late at night, and I didn't meet the attendants of the house on the way.

Now that Ma Teng has been defeated, Wang Can's army is rushing to Xinping County, no one expected that someone would do anything to Ma Teng's family, nor did he expect Ma Chao to flow to Xinping County openly. Therefore, in addition to the soldiers who normally patrol the night, the government did not send special people to monitor Ma Yunlu and Ma Teng's family.

All this is undoubtedly beyond the horse's surprise to be so easy.

When Ma Chao arrived at the east courtyard with the soldiers, except for one room in the courtyard, which was still lit, the rest was pitch black.

Outside the courtyard, there were no attendants waiting, only some maids remained in the courtyard. After all, Ma Teng's wives and concubines are all women, and if they arrange attendants or soldiers to guard them, in case there is any mistake, the Hou Fang cannot afford to bear the responsibility. Hou Fang was not worried that Ma Yunlu and the others would be able to escape, leaving only a few maids in the courtyard.

Because of this, Ma Chao led people to easily deal with the maids who were keeping vigil and entered the East Courtyard.

Ma Chao waved his hand gently, Jiang Heng hunched his waist and quickly rushed towards the courtyard.

He was extremely fast, and quietly ran towards the still lit room.

Jiang Heng's steps were very light, he hid outside the house, then looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he immediately beckoned to Ma Chao. Suddenly, Ma Chao also quickly rushed to Jiang Heng's side.

One after another, another soldier rushed over, leaving only two soldiers at the gate of the courtyard to watch the wind.

Ma Chao leaned against the door of the room, and was just about to poke a hole in the window to take a look, when the flickering oil lamp in the room suddenly went out, making it impossible for him to look inside.

Seeing this, Jiang Heng said in a low voice: "Lord, what should I do?" ”

Ma Chao frowned and said, "There is no way, I can only knock on the door." ”

He wanted to see who was inside, but as long as he didn't know Ma Yunlu, Ma Chao could ignore it directly. Because it is impossible for Ma Chao to take away all of Ma Teng's wives and concubines, after all, there are too many people, and they are all women and children, he does not have such great ability to take everyone away. Ma Chao came this time just to take Ma Yunlu away, and Ma Chao didn't care about the lives of others.

They are Ma Teng's women, but Ma Teng is dead, and Ma Chao has nothing to do with them.

Ma Chao nodded at Jiang Heng, and Jiang Heng asked the soldiers beside him to hide again.

"Boom! Boom! ”

Jiang Heng knocked lightly on the door twice, and quickly hid. Ma Chao leaned next to the door, waiting for the people in the house to come out.

"Crunch!"

The door opened, but no one came out.

Seeing this, Ma Chao had some doubts in his heart.

It stands to reason that this is the courtyard where Ma Teng's family lives, and the house is inhabited by some female dependents, and it is impossible to hear the sound of knocking on the door, but only open the door without the slightest movement. Ma Chao's brows furrowed, and the room was quiet. Jiang Heng and the other soldiers who were hiding were all puzzled, why was the door open but no one was there?

Could it be that the people in the house noticed them?

Ma Chao's brows tightened, and a bright light flashed in his mind. Among all the family members, there is only one person who is skilled in martial arts and alert, and that is Ma Teng's daughter Ma Yunlu.

When Ma Chao thought of this, his heart was excited.

Still, he hid outside the door and rushed into the house without impulse.

He whispered, "Little sister, it's me!" ”

This sentence seems very abrupt. If someone you don't know lives in the house and hears Ma Chao's voice, you think it's the cheater who went to the wrong room.

However, his voice fell, and there was a thud in the room.

"Step! Trample! ”

Hurried footsteps sounded, and a delicate figure rushed out of it.

This woman is Ma Yunlu.

After she and Yang returned to their respective rooms, Yang had already gone back to the house to rest. But when Ma Yunlu returned to his room, he couldn't sleep. When she closes her eyes, Ma Teng's voice and smile will appear in her mind, as well as the faces of Ma Chao, Ma Tie, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu and others.

A figure swirled in her head, making it difficult for Ma Yunlu to sleep.

Ma Yunlu heard Ma Chao's voice and rushed out excitedly.

He stood outside the door, but he didn't see Ma Chao. Because Ma Chao was attached to the left side of the door, and Ma Yunlu was anxious, he looked directly outside the door after rushing out of the door, and he didn't have time to look at the left and right sides, so he didn't notice Ma Chao.

Ma Chao saw that the figure that rushed out was indeed Ma Yunlu, and almost shouted in a whisper: "Little sister! ”

At this time, Ma Chao was excited.

After experiencing the pain of losing his father and his brother being killed, Ma Chao cares about his relatives very much.

Suddenly seeing this sister born to a mother, Ma Chao couldn't be unhappy.

In his eyes, tears flowed out of his eyes, these were tears of joy, and he was happy to meet his own sister. Because the light was too dim, Ma Chao could only see a general outline, and he couldn't really see Ma Yunlu's face clearly, but he knew that the person in front of him was his little sister.

Ma Yunlu heard Ma Chao's voice, turned around, and immediately choked up.

She rushed in front of Ma Chao, but she smelled a strange smell, very unpleasant.

Although Ma Yunlu couldn't see Ma Chao's dress clearly, he vaguely saw that Ma Chao was in rags, and the smell on his body was very unpleasant, obviously he had experienced countless hardships. She whispered, "Big brother, why are you alone, third brother?" What about the father? Well, let's go inside the house first, so that we don't be seen. ”

After finishing speaking, Ma Yunlu took Ma Chao's hand and walked towards the house.

Ma Chao said in a low voice: "Little sister, you wait a minute, I'll arrange it first!" Ma Chao beckoned to Jiang Heng's position, and then gave an order, asking Jiang Heng to lead people to guard outside the courtyard.

The two entered the house, and Ma Yunlu re-lit the oil lamp.

Under the dim oil lamp, Ma Chao looked at Ma Yunlu and said, "Little sister, I'm sorry for you!" At the same time, Ma Yunlu looked at Ma Chao's ragged clothes and Ma Chao's dirty cheeks, and his heart ached, and he choked up and said, "Big brother, why did you become like this?" ”

The two siblings are both worried about each other.

Ma Chao took a deep breath, calmed down the excitement in his heart, and said, "Little sister, I'll take you out of Xinping County, you can clean up and change your clothes again." Well, it's better to change into men's clothes. ”

Ma Yunlu hummed and asked again, "Big brother, what about the third brother and cousin?" And what about Daddy? ”

At the mention of Ma Dai and Ma Teng, Ma Chao felt a pain in his heart, and a painful look flashed in his eyes. He held back his grief and said, "Time is urgent, let's not talk about my father's affairs for the time being, and I will tell you in detail after leaving the county government." ”

The two spoke briefly for a while, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the room.

Immediately, Yang's voice sounded: "Lu'er, why haven't you rested yet." I hear a man's voice in your house, who's in it? ”

Ma Chao heard the sound outside and frowned slightly.

If I had known, I should have let Jiang Heng stay outside the door, not outside the courtyard.

Now there is a Ma Teng's wife and concubine, which is not easy to deal with.

PS: one of the four watches; Regarding everyone who said that Xiaodong deviated from the main line and spent a lot of space writing about Ma Chao, but he is indeed very important and runs through the whole text, so there is these pages. Well, it's Xiaodong who didn't grasp it well, so he shifted the center of gravity, and today's update focused on a little bit, three consecutive updates, and returned to the main line.
