Chapter 367: Conquering Ma Chao
"Brother, don't take it to heart, eldest brother doesn't blame you, and your sister-in-law won't blame you." Ma Chao said, carefully putting Jinpa back into his arms.
Seeing that Ma Dai still seemed to be angry about breaking his beloved hosta, Ma Chao comforted him a few more words, and then a soldier came to report, saying that the gentleman came to see him again yesterday, but refused to come in, and invited the two of them to meet at the gate of the barracks.
Ma Chao thought for a moment, and then came to the gate of the barracks with Ma Dai.
Seeing that the two Ma Chao brothers did not bring a single soldier, Liu He at the gate smiled knowingly.
Seeing Liu He, Ma Dai rushed forward and whispered: "Sir, I have done everything you told me, what you said is ......"
Liu He didn't answer, just smiled and nodded at Ma Dai, looking very sure.
Although Ma Dai understood what Liu He meant, seeing that he was empty-handed and coming alone, Ma Dai's brows furrowed again.
Ma Chao stepped forward and clenched his fists, "Mr. is really punctual, but why doesn't Mr. go in and sit down, but meet here?" ”
Liu He looked at the sun in the sky and said inexplicably, "It's not time yet." ”
Ma Chao and Ma Dai glanced at each other, and the brothers obviously didn't understand what this sentence meant.
Ma Dai was about to ask, but saw Liu He wave his hand, "Don't worry, when noon arrives, everything will be understood." ”
Ma Dai looked up at the sky, at this time there was still half an hour before noon, he turned his head to look at Ma Chao, and saw that Ma Chao had no objections, so he had to stand patiently next to the eldest brother and wait quietly.
None of the three of them said a word, except for Ma Dai, who was pacing back and forth a little anxiously, Ma Chao and Liu He all looked in the same direction calmly, as if they were competing, who had better patience.
After all, Ma Dai is still young, and this kind of age that can't calm down makes him spend half an hour here, which is like a year.
He was tired of walking alone, so he stopped, wanting to chat with his eldest brother and Mr. Tianji, but just as he was about to speak, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Looking at the posture of those two people, even if he really speaks, he may not respond to him, this kind of self-deprecating and boring thing is better to do less.
Finally survived until noon, Ma Dai, who had a dry mouth, finally showed a relieved look, he walked in front of Liu He, and cautiously reminded: "Sir, noon has arrived......"
Liu He raised his hand and interrupted his words, then stretched out a finger in a tricky way, put it to his mouth, and made a gesture to close the sound, then his eyes slowly closed, and his ears were pricked up, as if he was listening to something.
Ma Dai's patience seemed to have been exhausted, "Sir, please, if you have anything to say, say it quickly!" ”
Liu He still closed his eyes, but showed a faint smile, pointed to the road in front of him, and said softly: "You listen ......"
Ma Dai was stunned for a moment, pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a long time, but he didn't hear any movement.
He was about to ask again, but was stopped by Ma Chao, "There is a team of people approaching, and it should be there soon." ”
Ma Dai was startled when he heard this, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a group of cavalry galloping towards the other side of the road.
The speed of this cavalry attack was surprisingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the three of them.
The first man turned over and dismounted, took off two burdens from his horse, threw them on the ground, and then mounted and returned to the group.
Ma Dai looked at the blood-stained cavalry, and then looked at the two bloodstained burdens on the ground, and guessed seven or eight points, and couldn't help but secretly enjoy Liu He.
Ma Chao pointed to the burden on the ground and asked suspiciously, "Sir, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Someone! Show General Ma Chao what's in the baggage! ”
Before Liu He's words fell, two more horsemen turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and opened the burden on the ground layer by layer, revealing two bloody human heads.
Ma Chao took a few steps forward, and after he saw the appearance of the two heads, his face suddenly showed joy, "These are the two sworn brothers of Wang Ba!" ”
Liu He showed a hint of smugness on his face, "Brother Ma is right, not only these two guys, but also all the bandits on the Black Wind Mountain, have been killed by my Chengdu guard, and even the Black Wind Village has been burned clean." ”
Liu He said, pointing towards the mountain in the south, Ma Chao looked in the direction Liu He pointed, and sure enough, he saw the fire on the mountain in the distance, which was the location of Heifeng Village.
Looking at the fire, Ma Chao's eyes began to become hot.
Liu He glanced at him, and after Chengdu Wei left, he said slowly: "I don't know what we said yesterday, Brother Ma, have you thought about it?" ”
Ma Chao was suddenly asked by Liu He, obviously still a little hesitant.
Ma Dai was a little overwhelmed on the side, and persuaded each other bitterly: "Brother, since Mr. Tianji helped you get rid of this heart disease, what else can't you let go?" ”
Ma Chao was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I can't leave now, my personal soldiers are still in Zhang Lu's hands, and if I go, I'm afraid they will all be implicated." ”
Ma Dai suddenly smiled, "Brother, don't worry, I went out of the camp overnight last night and informed them, as soon as they heard that you were leaving, they all said that they would follow you to the death, I estimate that at this time they have arrived at the meeting place I agreed with them." ”
Ma Chao was shocked when he heard this, and was about to reprimand Ma Dai like he did on weekdays, but when he saw the heartfelt smile on his younger brother's face, his voice immediately lowered, but he still had a straight face, "Okay, Ma Dai, it turns out that you have already done this behind my back." ”
Seeing Ma Chao's pretended displeasure, Ma Dai knew that the eldest brother was just talking about it, but in fact, he had agreed in his heart.
"Brother, so you agreed?" Ma Dai asked knowingly.
Ma Chao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Since they escaped from Zhang Lu, then you and I are already traitors, even if you don't agree now, what can you do, do you still have to tie your hands, go to Zhang Lu, and let him cut off the heads of our brothers?" ”
Hearing Ma Chao's words, Liu He on the side smiled and said nothing.
Ma Chao whispered two words to Ma Dai, asked him to quietly return to the barracks, bring out the weapons and horses of the two, and then turned to Liu He and hugged his fist, and said: "From now on, Ma Chao is willing to join Uncle Liu Huang and serve the dogs and horses!" ”
Liu He straightened his clothes and also saluted back, "Brother Ma, you just came to vote, I should have let you go back to Chengdu first, and meet the lord, but now there is a tricky matter, and only Brother Ma can take action." ”
