Of course, Ma Teng and Han Sui refused to feast Cao Shuo together, and the two almost fought again over who would pick up the wind first.

In the end, Cao Shuo thought of a way and asked the two of them to take out the copper coin and guess it.

Whoever guesses is invited first.

Ma Teng's luck was obviously better than Han Sui's.

Han Sui, who guessed wrong, said to Cao Shuo in annoyance: "This time I will let him first, and I will send someone to pick up my son early tomorrow morning, and I will let people prepare the banquet tonight." ”

Saying goodbye to Cao Shuo, Han Sui left with the soldiers.

Cao Shuo, accompanied by Ma Teng, walked in the direction of Ma's house.

Majiatun is enshrined in Huaili.

There were still four or five miles away from Huaili, and Cao Shuo saw more than a dozen people appear in front of him.

The first one was actually a girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Unlike ordinary girls, this woman is wearing armor and is dressed as a general.

What really attracted Cao Shuo was not the girl's outfit, but the two human heads she hung on the side of the war horse.

Seeing Ma Teng, the girl did not avoid it, but walked over with someone riding a horse.

"What are you doing?" Glaring at her fiercely, Ma Teng asked with reproach in his tone.

"Father." The girl bowed: "I met a few Qiang people who robbed the road just now, I killed them, took two heads and came back to my father for business." ”

"What's the errand?" Ma Teng said angrily: "Let you learn some women's red knitting, you don't want to, but you want to learn from the men's family to fight outside." Whose woman is like you? It's also very frustrating. ”

The girl lowered her head and said very aggrievedly: "I also want to share my father's worries." ”

"Haven't you seen Zirong Gongzi yet?" Ma Teng glanced at her and said.

He then said to Cao Shuo: "Son, the little girl Ma Yunlu has been spoiled since she was a child. I don't think about how to learn from female workers all day long.,I just like to fight like a man.。 ”

"Jiangmen Tiger Girl, General Ma is blessed." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "If I have a sister like Miss, I don't know how happy my father will be." ”

"Really?" was reprimanded by Ma Teng, but Cao Shuo praised her a lot, and Ma Yunlu's eyes lit up and asked.

"No rules!" Ma Teng interrupted her and said to her, "Let you see Childe, what about the number of etiquette?" ”

Cao Shuo praised her in public, Ma Yunlu was of course happy, and his good impression of him instantly increased.

She clenched her fists and arched at Cao Shuo and said, "The little girl Ma Yunlu has seen the son." ”

"Miss doesn't have to be polite." Cao Shuo replied: "Just now Miss said to kill several Qiang people, I heard that the Qiang people are brave, Miss can kill them, and the martial arts must be good." ”

"Does Childe understand martial arts?" Ma Yunlu blinked his eyes and asked Cao Shuo.

"Presumptuous!" Ma Chao on the side shouted: "The son has been leading the troops all the year round, and he has always been in front of the killing, do you understand martial arts?" ”

Ma Chao is the son of the Ma family, and his status in the family is second only to his father, of course Ma Yunlu does not dare to contradict him.

She pursed her lips, and although she didn't say anything, her face showed disbelief.

Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Although I lead the troops to fight, my martial arts are very ordinary. If you play against Miss, I'm afraid it's not an opponent. ”

"Childe is too humble." Ma Teng said on the side: "When Gongzi led the troops, we knew Gongzi's martial arts. Speaking of which, the dog may be able to walk with the son on three or four lilies. ”

"General Ma said that, I dare not take it seriously." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Meng Qi is a fierce general of Xiliang, there are few opponents in the world, how can I be his opponent?" ”

Ma Teng and Ma Chao were inevitably humble again.

In front of his father and eldest brother, Ma Yunlu didn't dare to ask anything more.

But when she looked at Cao Shuo, her eyes were full of disbelief.

Born white and pure, he looks like a weak son, although his physique is quite burly, it can be said that he can fight with Ma Chao for 300 rounds, Ma Yunlu really doesn't believe it.

has always been very confident in martial arts, Ma Yunlu decided to find an opportunity to ask Cao Shuo for a few tricks, so as to explore his reality.

Entering Huaili, Ma Teng said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, Xiliang is not as good as the Central Plains, life here is very hard, and Childe should not be disgusted." ”

Compared with the cities in the Central Plains, Huaili is indeed much more deserted.

The streets here are full of yellow sand and look dirty.

The buildings are also very different from those in the Central Plains, and most of the houses in the city are still made of loess.

"What did General Ma say?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I have never been to Xiliang before, but this time I came to find that Xiliang is really a good place." Don't talk about how the city is, just talk about this style, and the Central Plains can't see it. ”

"Xiliang is a bitter place." Ma Teng said: "There is a perennial shortage of water here, and although there are Qiang people in the army, more Qiang people are always against us. What Yun Lu killed was the Qiang people who intercepted the merchants in the middle of the way, and if they didn't kill them, they would only become more and more rampant. ”

"Isn't Xiliang peaceful?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Taiping?" Ma Teng said with a wry smile: "Since Dong Zhuo, most of the Xiliang army has been transferred to the Central Plains, and the Qiang people have long been ready to move. Although we have tried our best to eradicate it over the years, we still can't eradicate it. ”

"The Qiang people are ready to move, and they are the henchmen of the Han Dynasty." Cao Shuo asked Ma Teng: "I don't know why General Ma and General Han quarreled, so that now the swords and soldiers are meeting each other?" ”

"Han Sui and I are in charge of each place." Ma Teng said: "There is an area that we have a big dispute about, because the Qiang people are in turmoil, I sent someone there a few days ago, but I didn't expect Han Sui to say that I entered his territory." ”

Before asking Ma Teng, Cao Shuo had already guessed that this was the case.

Turf has always been at the heart of the controversy.

Ma Teng and Han Sui have always been very close, and they have collaborated with each other many times in Xiliang, but now they are meeting each other because of the competition for territory.

Smiling slightly, Cao Shuo said: "What should I do, since that place is disputed, the two generals sit down and talk, and redraw the boundaries between each other?" Why are you still fighting? ”

"I can't delineate it." Ma Teng said: "Who's older and who's smaller, the fight is endless, how can it be demarcated?" ”

"It's not an option to fight like this." Cao Shuo said: "The Qiang people are eyeing each other, and they can just watch General Ma and General Han fight. When the two of you have almost exhausted the soldiers and horses, it is time for the Qiang people to make a move. ”

"Childe means ......" Ma Teng was stunned.

"Could it be that General Ma thinks it won't be like this?" Cao Shuo asked.

Ma Teng didn't say anything, just frowned and was silent.

Cao Shuo continued: "Father is worried about the Qiang people, but the two generals are on fire, if no one mediates, I'm afraid they will continue to fight." That's why I was sent here. ”

"To tell you the truth, I put down Sanhan and Liaodong to mediate for General Ma and General Han." Cao Shuo said: "If you can not fight, the two generals had better stop fighting." ”
