After Liu He heard this, his face was overjoyed, "Little general, how about I help your brother get rid of this heart disease?" ”

When Ma Dai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Mr. is you talking about, go and exterminate those bandits on Black Wind Mountain?" ”

Liu He said with a heroic face: "Not only is it extermination, even their Black Wind Village, I will burn them with a fire!" ”

Ma Dai was overjoyed when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, his face was worried, and he shook his head again and again, "It's still not appropriate, these brothers brought by Mr. are really skilled, but after all, this is on the empty school ground, and the Black Wind Mountain is the territory of those bandits, you are not familiar with the place, it is too dangerous!" ”

Liu He waved his hand, "Hey, I don't have to worry about the little general, but I still have to ask the little general to help me do something." ”

Ma Dai clenched his fists, "Mr. doesn't have to be so polite, if there is anything, just give orders." ”

Liu He walked to Ma Dai's side and whispered a few words in his ear, Ma Dai was shocked when he heard this, "This can't be helped, if my brother knows, then you can't scold me to death!" ”

Liu He smiled and played: "Little general, relax, if you really do what I say, your brother will not only not scold you at that time, but will probably have to praise you a few words." ”

Ma Dai pondered for a moment and gritted his teeth, "Done!" I'll do as my husband says! But sir, you must arrive on time, or my brother will ......."

Liu He smiled and patted Ma Dai's shoulder, "Don't worry, I will be on time at noon tomorrow." ”

The next morning, Ma Chao sat in his Chinese army tent early, waiting for Liu He's arrival, but looking at the expression on his face, it seemed that he still hadn't made up his mind.

In one morning, Ma Dai had already gone back and forth between the military tent and the camp gate more than a dozen times, and looking at his appearance, he seemed to be more worried than Ma Chao.

"One morning, you feel like you've lost your soul, and say, 'Are you hiding something from me?' Ma Chao stopped Ma Dai, who was about to get up and go to the camp gate, and said sharply.

"Look at what you said, how dare I hide anything from my brother." Ma Dai said, still picking up the corner of the tent curtain, and kept looking at the camp gate.

Ma Chao sighed and said softly: "It's really hard for you to follow a big brother like me." ”

Ma Dai was silent for a long time, but he didn't look back, not daring to let Ma Chao see his already ruddy eyes.

"You say, should we brothers leave here and join Liu Bei's account?" Ma Chao said in a deep voice.

Ma Dai turned his head suddenly, and couldn't care about his red eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Brother, this sentence has been held in my heart for a long time, how can you say that you are also a generation of famous generals, why should you suffer from that Zhang Lu's anger here!" ”

Looking at his younger brother's still childish face, Ma Chao's lips moved slightly, but he wanted to speak and stopped.

"I know, you just can't worry about these people in the fortress, but this is a troubled time, can you protect everyone? At the beginning, we were in Xiliang, and someone could still give our family some face, but now we are under the fence, and it is difficult for us to protect ourselves, how can we control others! ”

Ma Dai seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, chattering endlessly, and the tears of grievance in the two lines had rolled down.

Ma Chao listened to Ma Dai quietly, got up and walked to Ma Dai, stretched out his hand, helped his younger brother wipe the tears from his cheeks, and said in a hoarse voice: "They all think that whoever is on the list represents who is more powerful, but I always feel that the people above should do more for this world, so as to live up to the so-called generation of famous generals." Whether it's Xiliang or Hanzhong, if we don't even care about those people, can the people in this world still have a way to live? ”

Ma Dai pushed Ma Chao away, his expression was even more excited than before, "The people, you know the people!" When I was in Xiliang, if it weren't for saving those people, my sister-in-law and my nephews, could they have died tragically at the hands of the enemy? It's better for you to not even say a word for the sake of those people, and let the people of the world point to your backbone and say that you are a person who is unkind. Do you know how uncomfortable I feel every time I hear someone say that about you? ”

Ma Chao, who was pushed out a few steps, groped in his arms, slowly took out a thing, held it in his hand, and his eyes were full of desolation, "The most sorry thing in my life is your sister-in-law." ”

Ma Dai saw the object in Ma Chao's hand clearly, but he burst into tears again.

It was a gift from Ma Chao on his wedding day.

"This hairpin, I have always carried it with me, and when I can't sleep in the dead of night, I take it out and look at it, and I feel that she has always been there."

The hosta, which had been broken into several pieces under the push of the two brothers just now, trembled slightly in Ma Chao's hands.

The Xiliang man who never cried even on the day he was born, the fierce warrior who was decisive in the eyes of others all his life, the cold-blooded man who was poked in the backbone and said to be unkind, holding the hosta, was already in tears.

"Brother promises you, from now on, my brother will only live for himself." Stopping his tears, Ma Chao's face was filled with a bit of vicissitudes, but in his eyes, there seemed to be a lack of hope for this troubled world.

Ma Dai wiped his tears vigorously, stepped forward and grabbed Ma Chao's hand, "Brother, don't wronged yourself because of my nonsense, do what you think, you really live for yourself." ”

Ma Chao smiled with satisfaction and nodded vigorously, "Okay, then let's try again and see if Liu Bei is the master we have been looking for." ”

Ma Dai's face was happy, "Brother, do you agree?" ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he frowned again, "To be honest, let me be the general of this rebel army, this hurdle in my heart is really a little difficult to pass." Our ancestors ......"

"Our ancestor Ma Yuan, is the Han Dynasty's Fubo general, for the Guangwu Emperor has made great achievements, although he is old, still please Ying's expedition, the west of the Qiang people, the south of the expedition, the official to the Fubo general, the new marquis. Let us imitate our fathers, and never do anything that is contrary to our conscience. Isn't that right? ”

Looking at Ma Dai's triumphant appearance, Ma Chao smiled with relief: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to write it down word for word." ”

Ma Dai sighed and said helplessly: "Brother, since I can remember, I have heard you say this set of words at least a hundred times, can I not remember it?" ”

Ma Chao smiled faintly, and when he saw the hosta in his hand, there was another layer of haze between his eyebrows.

Seeing this, Ma Dai took out a piece of brocade, carefully helped Ma Chao wrap a few broken hostas, and said guiltily: "Brother, I'm sorry, if I hadn't pushed you just now, the hairpin wouldn't have broken like this." ”
