In the afternoon, the warm breeze caressed the flag, and the soldiers patrolling around the school field passed by, and in the intertwined sight, the messenger from Xiliang was led from the front camp, and the guards stepped forward to check whether the robes were armed, and only then did they make a gesture to the surrounding companions, and the guards released the handle of the knife they were pinching.

The figure who was being watched by a series of eyes walked over and arched his hand towards Gongsun Zhi, who was trying the crossbow.

"I've seen the Governor."

A crossbow was nailed next to the first, Gongsun Zhi put down the crossbow, glanced behind the sound, and laughed, the latter raised his face, also smiled, and blinked, "The first time ...... Chao came to the Northland, the Governor had to take me around." ”

- The person who came was Ma Chao.

"How did Meng Qi think of running to the north?" Gongsun Zhi wiped his hands and walked over, stretched out his hand and slapped the other party's wide arm twice, laughing: "It's been many years, and it's so strong." ”

After the joint attack on the soldiers and horses of the Great Qin, it was really surprising to see Ma Chao again, Gongsun Zhi was really surprised, the young man who was still a little young at the beginning, had grown a little slag under his chin, and his body was sturdy, but he was a lot more powerful.

"Chao is practicing martial arts and riding horses every day and night, how can his body not be strong!" Ma Chao's voice was strong and casual, and he unconsciously walked side by side with Gongsun Zhi, and Dian Wei and Li Ke, who were one step behind left and right, frowned. He didn't notice the change in the two of them, and the words continued: "After ........ went back that time, he practiced the cavalry skills very hard, and finally had some results, and he selected three hundred cavalry to come to the north, and specially let the governor see how it was." ”

Gongsun Zhi was stunned for a moment, the other party was just for such a thing, he traveled so long and went around for such a big circle, and ran from Xiliang to Shanggu County. Over there, Ma Chao unconsciously walked to the front and pointed to the outside of the barracks: "My Guanxi disciple is outside, and the governor will go out with me to have a look." ”

"Bold—"

With a bang, the mace was on the ground, Li Ke finally couldn't help but scream, rushed forward and smashed the weapon violently, and at the moment of touching the opponent's back, Ma Chao suddenly dodged sideways.

The mace rubbed the air and smashed the dirt, the smoke and dust rolled up, the robe swung up, Ma Chao stepped on the mace head on the ground with one kick, stared at the figure of the bully and pounced, raised his hand to hold the opponent's fist, and slapped the opponent's abdomen with the other palm, and pushed again, Li Ke gritted his teeth and snorted, stumbling back a few steps.

Then a big palm reached out and pressed on his back, and Dian Wei threw the double halberd to the ground, "You can't beat him." As soon as the words fell, the soles of his feet cracked the ground, and his body was like a chariot propulsion, crushing towards Ma Chao on the opposite side.

The roaring footsteps around spread over, and the soldiers who heard the movement were forming a circle from the guard position, and they surrounded them in a circle, Gongsun Zhi waved at them and shouted: "Stand down!" The long soldiers who were pressed down by the rods around them stood up in unison, and one by one the figures turned around and quickly retreated, stopping far away.

However, Gongsun Zhi did not mean to stop the two.

In front, the fists and palms are whistling, and the two people fighting are attacking with empty hands, and the arms they are waving are all powerful and heavy, and ordinary people will basically vomit blood if they rub next to each other. In the palm of his fist, the attack was furious, Dian Wei hugged his arms violently in the middle, and there was a muffled sound in the air, and then he kicked out.

The figure in the retreat seemed to be smoothed out by the force, punching the sole of the opponent's shoe, the whole person slipped out again, the soles of the feet twisted on the ground, Ma Chaofang stopped retreating, and when the opposite fist came again, both hands clasped the opponent's wrists, and the giant man pinched his fist and twisted, and easily broke free with huge force.

Between a few breaths, several fights were all crackling and fierce, Dian Wei's huge body kept pushing forward, Ma Chao, who was originally fighting with him, suddenly bowed and dodged, his face flashed between the opponent's waving arms, a round of attack, the fist palm from the side on the giant man's arm, shoulder several times in a row, only to feel that the punch and palm strength of the punch were forcefully resisted in the opponent's bulging muscles, and it made a dull sound like a leather drum.

"Stop."

Gongsun stopped looking at Ma Chao, who did not show weakness at all, his face did not change after all, and between the words he spoke, Dian Wei forced the other party away with a punch, and then turned around and came back to pick up the iron halberd on the ground, standing on the side of the lord.

Ma Chao's face was slightly red, looking at the two figures holding halberds and sticks standing left and right, he understood why the other party suddenly hit him before, and arched his hand: "It turned out that he was super reckless first, and he lost his etiquette, and I hope that the governor will not blame." ”

"...... actually came over to talk to the governor about business." Then, he laughed.

Moments later, the two walked around the school grounds.

"You came to the Northlands, and what did your father actually mean?"

Two pairs of steps stepped on the dry ground, a group of soldiers passed by, bowed to the leading figure, Gongsun Zhi nodded at them, and talked to Ma Chao.

"Half of it means super!" Ma Chaoman didn't care about the previous fight, and walked slowly behind with his arms crossed, "Du Du and Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, and the next thing is probably to compete with Cao Cao, my father hopes that Du Du can join forces with us and attack the Central Plains together." ”

Gongsun Zhi glanced back at him: "Your father has been guarding Xiliang for many years, why did he suddenly have this idea?" ”

"Last year, there was a secret letter from the palace sent to Xiliang ......" Ma Chao grinned, leaned forward, and reminded in a low voice: "...... was sent by the emperor." ”

"Liu Xie? This man didn't dare to be lonely, and did a lot of things secretly...... Well..... since you are here, the alliance is naturally possible, but for such a thing, you can send the people under your command, but Meng Qi came in person, I am afraid that there is something else. ”

Ma Chao nodded and looked at him: "I haven't seen you for many years, the governor is even more powerful than before, and this time I really have other things, that is, I want to buy some horses from the governor." ”

"You Xiliang doesn't seem to be too short of horses."

"There is no shortage of horses, but it is certainly not enough to build a larger cavalry."

Gongsun Zhi pondered for a moment, turned to look at Ma Chao, and frowned: "This matter, I want to sum up with the yamen, you are also in charge of Xiliang, you should know that important resources will be allocated in advance, and suddenly you have to take some of it away, which will inevitably cause some chaos, you live in the north for a while, and then talk about it when it is dealt with here." ”

"Governor, just ..... first"

Just as he was about to speak, someone from behind came over and whispered a few words in Li Ke's ear, who stepped forward with a mace, glanced at Ma Chao, and whispered in his ear: "Leader, Cao Cao has sent someone." ”

"Well, you have someone settle them down, and I'll be there later." Gongsun Zhi said a word, turned his head to look at Ma Chao, "Meng Qi will stay here for the time being, and I will come to talk to you when I am done." ”

"The governor of Nadu will be busy first, and he will stay in the city and visit him another day."

"Okay."

The clouds broke through, the sun shone down, looking at the back of the person who led the person away, Ma Chao snorted and kicked a stone in front of his feet: "...... is a little unhappy." ”
