In the past few days, the news of the arrival of Ma Chao, the general of Shenwei Heaven, has been spread by the people of the Hequ Qiang tribe, and it has spread all over the land of the West Sea in an instant.

Zhi Wudai, who had already received the news, led Wen Wu to meet him day and night for thirty miles, and finally greeted Ma Chao and his party at sunset.

As soon as the two groups of men and horses converged, one rode out of the crowd. But seeing that the person on the horse was dressed in a brocade robe, he hugged his fists with the etiquette of the Han people and laughed:

"I knew that Brother Ma was coming, but I can teach my little brother to look forward to it."

Ma Chao also showed a happy smile, stepped forward, and arched his hand: "Chao has traveled all the way, and everything I heard along the way are rumors about you who are not brothers, it seems that you have really done a lot of work in the past few years!" ”

"What career is not a career, after all, it is not as happy as the days when the brothers of the same horse drink and talk happily!"

At this, the two of them suddenly stopped, looked at each other, laughed in unison, and hugged tightly on horseback.

"Brother Zhi Wudai, it's been a long time!"

"Brother Ma, but you want to hurt me! Since you are here this time, don't go, just be chic and happy on the grassland, wouldn't you be comfortable? ”

Ma Chao smiled and didn't answer, but just turned sideways and beckoned Jiang Wei and the others to him, and introduced: "This is Brother Zhi Wudai, come and see you quickly."

Zhi Wudai is the leader of the largest force in the Xihai grassland, the court has a request for him, and this person is a friend of Ma Chao, Jiang Wei and Mi Wei did not dare to hold it up, turned over and dismounted, bowed down and hugged his fist:

"Jiang Wei (Mi Wei) has seen the alliance leader!"

Zhi Wudai immediately dismounted, held the arms of the two, and said approvingly: "Okay, what a heroic boy!" ”

This time he got closer, and Jiang Wei could finally take a clear look at the first person in the West Sea Grassland in front of him. What is quite unexpected is that Zhi Wudai, who is the leader of the West Sea Alliance, is not a muscular man as he imagined, but a middle-aged man of medium stature and thin appearance.

Judging from his conversation and demeanor, this person is not only proficient in Chinese etiquette, but also very kind to others, looking at his appearance, he is not like a grassland hero who calls for wind and rain, but more like a shrewd and amiable Hu businessman.

But after a little thought, he understood. Most of the populations in the West Sea are numerous, and the bloodlines are not the same, and if you want to unite the tribes, you have to rely on resourcefulness and wealth.

After greeting each other, Zhi Wudai also waved back sideways and called, "Brothers, come and see General Shenweitian." When Brother Ma was in Liangzhou, you were all just a little person who was not worth mentioning! ”

As soon as he said this, the people who followed him immediately turned over and dismounted.

A man about thirty years old, eight feet long, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a bearded man, took the lead in stepping forward, put his right hand on his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Villain Bai Huwen, I have seen General Shenweitian!" ”

Zhi Wudai pointed with a smile: "Bai Huwen is the number one fierce general under the brother's account, good at using iron guns, and has the courage of ten thousand people. Over the years, I have been fighting with my brothers in the north and south, and have made great contributions. ”

Ma Chaosheng is brave and respectful, and when he heard this, he got off the horse and held on, and praised: "Brother Bai is really the true character of a husband!" ”

A man with blue eyes and a red beard and a capable appearance flashed out on the side, and Shi Li said: "The villain Yijian is a concubine, and I have seen General Tian!" ”

Zhi Wudai took the opportunity to introduce: "Yijian's concubine was originally the leader of the Lu Shuihu people, and she was both wise and brave, and she was a rare talent. A few years ago, I voted for my brother, and since then I have made suggestions and made many miraculous achievements! ”

"Well said, well said." Ma Chao looked at it and returned a salute.

At this time, a 20-year-old tall young man burst out of the crowd, with a high nose and deep eyes, thick beard and hair, and high spirits between expectations.

When Zhi Wudai saw this person, the smile on his face suddenly became a little thicker, and he said, "This is the dog Zhiyuan." Yuanduo, come and meet your Uncle Ma. ”

Zhi Yuanduo walked up to Ma Chao, bowed respectfully, and said with a smile: "Little nephew, please see Uncle Ma." Uncle Ma's heroic posture across the West Sea often comes to the mind of the little nephew, and the little nephew's greatest wish is to become a hero like his uncle! ”

These words made Ma Chao laugh more than once, and he personally stepped forward to help him up, looked him up and down, and praised: "At that time, you were only as tall as my waist, and I don't want to grow so big...... Well, sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs! ”

After a few pleasantries, he beckoned Jiang Wei to him and said with a smile: "The two of you are about the same age, and you are both people who practice martial arts, so you should get close." ”

Jiang Wei immediately clasped his fists and saluted; Zhi Yuanduo also returned the salute, and after saluting, he looked at Jiang Wei from top to bottom.

Jiang Wei practiced the techniques passed on by Ma Chao day and night, and for convenience, he pinned the white rainbow sword to his waist. The body of the Baihong Sword is four feet long, elegant and slender, outstanding, and can be described as very eye-catching.

As soon as Zhi Yuanduo's gaze fell on the Bai Hong Sword, he was full of light, and it was difficult to leave for a moment.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei frowned secretly, pulled over his cloak, and quietly blocked the Bai Hong Sword.

It was only at this time that Zhi Yuanduo was refreshed, changed into a kind smile, and opened his mouth to greet Jiang Wei.

It wasn't until everyone finished saluting that Oh He and Yao Ge came forward to kneel and salute and meet the leader of the alliance.

Zhi Wudai put on a cold look and said a soft "um", as if responding.

When the sky was about to be dusk, the wind gradually rose, blowing everyone's cheeks painfully.

Zhi Wudai proposed: "It's cold here, it's not a place to speak, my brother has set up a banquet in the tent, and I invite you to move your guests!" ”

This remark naturally attracted the applause of everyone present, and they got on their horses one after another and walked in the direction of the Erhai grassland.

On the way, Ma Chao and Zhi Wudai walked side by side, occasionally chatting about some old things, chatting to the end, and laughing from time to time.

Halfway through the trip, Ma Chao remembered the purpose of the trip, so he turned sideways and said: "Brother is here, in addition to meeting the old buddy of the year for a while, he actually has a heavy responsibility......

He was about to talk about buying a horse, but he waved his hand and said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, I have prepared a lot of wine and delicacies, Brother Ma has been resting for a few days, we are close and close, what is the right thing, wait for the New Year." ”

Seeing him so polite, Ma Chao had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and swallowed the words back into his stomach.

Jiang Wu behind him heard it clearly and praised: "This alliance leader is really polite. ”

Jiang Wei listened to it, only smiled, and did not answer.

Because there are still two days of Jimei in the Qiang year, when the group arrived at the Erhai Zhiwu Dai Department, there were already a sea of people here, and there were messengers from the Qianghu tribe who came to celebrate everywhere, and they were afraid that there would be tens of thousands of people.

When everyone stepped into the gate of the camp, there was a graceful young girl riding a red-maned horse, galloping towards everyone like the wind.

Before she arrived, the crisp bell-like sound of snort had already started:

"Father-in-law! Such a lively thing, why did you leave your daughter alone! ”

Seeing this, Zhi Wudai laughed, turned sideways and said to Ma Chao: "It was my goddaughter Yang Lan who came to the house." ”
