The wind swept across the groom's face like catkins.

Ma Fu didn't have any expectations, so he didn't pay attention to whether Ma Teng gave him a heavy responsibility.

In addition, he is now in a state of aimlessness, and this state is very terrifying.

Coming to Xiliang was too sudden, and he was already swept into the whirlpool of this troubled world before he had time to plan his future life.

Pony Chao, who had followed him all the way to the stable, looked very happy.

The old men who originally looked down on him were actually respectful to the groom at this time.

The news that a horse breeder and General Pang worked together to defeat the masters has long been spreading. At this time, the groom was already well-known among the soldiers.

Pony Chao is a frequent visitor here, and when he saw everyone behaving like this, he smiled: "I told you a long time ago that the groom is not an ordinary person, and you still don't believe it." ”

"The young general knows people with a good eye, and it is better for me to wait!"

The groom coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, I am still the groom who raises horses, just an ordinary person, and I hope you will continue to advise in the future." ”

When the old men heard this, they hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

The groom shook his head helplessly, for his unprepared life had been shattered.

Xiao Ma Chao said: "Brother Mafu, you hurry up and prepare, I believe that my father will already arrange a position for you that satisfies you." ”

When the old men saw that the groom was just standing there laughing, they first urged together, and when they saw that the groom was indifferent, they went together to help the groom pack up his things.

But when he packed up, he only had a few new clothes that Pony Chao gave him, and he didn't wear any of them.

Looking at those new clothes, the groom felt that the pony treated him well, but he also knew that this Xiliang was not a place to live for a long time.

Now faced with a dilemma, he must plan for his future.

Although with his ability, he will not starve to death anywhere, but in the world, the picture is to meet the wind and clouds and dominate, and it is obvious that the land of Xiliang cannot accommodate him at all.

Pony Chao waited in the stable for a long time and didn't wait for his father to summon the groom, he really couldn't stand this anxious surname.

He said to the groom, "Brother groom, why don't you come with me to my house?" ”

The horseman smiled: "The young general really tormented me!" I am a person without a father or mother, and it is enough for General Rydma to take me in, and I don't have to worry about three meals. As for the rest, I really didn't think much of it for the time being. ”

Seeing that he was unwilling, Xiao Ma Chao said to everyone: "Please also help me take good care of Brother Mafu, I will go and go back." ”

The major general spoke, where did they dare not obey.

But when the groom heard the word "care", he always felt strange in his heart, which made him look like a three-year-old child.

It is said that Pony Chao hurried home and saw his father and Pound sitting in the lobby.

He walked quickly to Ma Teng's side and said, "Dad, aren't you recruiting talents in martial arts?" Brother Mafu is so powerful, why don't you entrust him with a heavy responsibility? ”

Ma Teng smiled: "I'm afraid it's not only you who have this question, but General Pang also has it, right?" ”

After speaking, Ma Teng looked at Pang De, and Pang De smiled slightly: "What does the general mean, please make it clear." ”

Ma Teng touched the sword on his waist and said, "Chao'er, do you know your brother Mafu?" ”

Xiao Ma Chao frowned, and pouted: "Dad, didn't I tell you many times?" Brother Mafu has no father, no mother, no name and no surname, and because he is proficient in horseman, he is called 'horseman' by others. ”

Ma Teng smiled: "Silly boy, do you believe such words?" ”

Pony Chao said, "Why don't I believe it? He's always treated me very well, and he's always taught me how to ride a horse. ”

"But did he teach you how to ride a horse lately?"

Xiao Ma Chao scratched his head and said, "It turns out that he taught me to ride a horse every day, but not in the last few days." ”

Ma Teng said: "Chao'er, although my father promised you to keep him here to raise horses, my father has always been wary of him, so how can I let you learn to ride a horse with him with peace of mind, so I have already sent someone to secretly observe him." ”

Ma Teng paused and continued: "But according to the report of the person I sent to observe him, this man has only led the horse recently, and almost never got on horseback. In addition, during the third watch in the middle of the night last night, he also had a big fight with several masters. ”

"Huh? Why don't I know any of this? Could it be that this groom is not the same as before? Pony exclaimed.

Ma Teng stroked Ma Chao's head and said, "Chao'er, you are still young, it is better to be careful in everything." The Father knows that you have a good relationship with Him, but until you find out the details of Him, the Father wants you to keep your distance from Him. ”

Pony pouted and didn't say much.

And Pang De said with a serious face: "General, today in the ring, that groom is obviously helping me, and that mysterious master should not come to the ring just for the competition, right?" ”

Ma Teng said: "How can I not know this, I can see everything in the ring clearly, but I haven't figured it out." ”

"So what do we do now? Today is a martial arts competition, if the strong do not get the importance they deserve, then in the future we hold similar competitions, I am afraid that no one will participate. Pound voiced his concerns.

Ma Teng didn't think of this, but as the commander of the first army, he knew that he couldn't control this groom.

Since it can't be controlled, if it is reused, the groom will be out of control sooner or later, and at that time, the scene will be very dangerous.

After all, he now has his own foothold, and no fool in the world will give the wine and meat that has reached his mouth to a stranger who has nothing to do with him.

"I think so, or let Pony Chao worship him as a teacher. This is also the glory that others dream of. ”

As soon as Ma Teng's words came out, Xiao Ma Chao immediately cheered, but Ma Teng immediately poured a basin of cold water on him and said: "Chao'er, that's what I said, but in the future, you must not be as close to him as before, otherwise, my father will expel him from Xiliang!" ”

Pony nodded with a pout, although he didn't understand why his father did this, but he didn't want the groom to be expelled from Xiliang.

Pound very much agreed with Ma Teng's move. On the one hand, this gives the groom enough face and allows him to enjoy the glory that ordinary people can hardly enjoy; On the one hand, he did not give him real power, and it was easy to control before he found out his details.

Three days later, Ma Teng held a grand apprenticeship ceremony for Xiao Ma Chao in Mafu.

The groom had no intention of agreeing. He was used to being alone, and suddenly there was an extra apprentice, which really felt awkward.

But just a few days ago, after Xiao Ma Chao knew that his father was going to hold an apprenticeship ceremony for him, he was worried that the groom would be unwilling, so he ran to the stable as soon as he had time to grind the groom hard.

The groom really beat him or scolded him, and he had no choice but to agree.

But who would have thought that the so-called apprenticeship ceremony would be so grand by Ma Teng.

The whole Ma Mansion was lit up and down, and all the slightly famous generals under Ma Teng's tent participated in this ceremony.

In addition, Ma Teng also held a feast in the mansion and feasted famous people in the county.

The groom became a topic of conversation for a while, which made him really uncomfortable.

What made him even more troublesome was that some famous families in the county actually wanted to marry him.

The groom couldn't laugh at this.

Ma Teng's move is really clever, and his desire to seek talent shows that he is eager to seek talents, so that many talented people in Xiliang have defected to him one after another.

However, when the whole Ma Mansion was still immersed in Xiao Ma Chao's apprenticeship ceremony, bad news came.

It turned out that Han Sui, who was stationed in Jincheng County, sent a special envoy to borrow money on the grounds that the soldiers lacked supplies to survive the winter.

"Fart, what kind of heart does he Han Sui'an have? My subordinates are still in a state of not having enough food and clothing! After seeing the paperwork, Ma Teng threw it directly on the ground in front of the messenger.

When Pang De saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the paperwork and said to the messenger: "Don't be surprised, this year's Liangzhou wind and rain are not smooth, and the general said that the food is unpleasant for the supplies and the night can't sleep, please forgive me." ”

Pound originally wanted to make the scene not so embarrassing, but who would have thought that the envoy would have to inch in and say: "There are no materials and a big feast?" Are you a fool when we are our family General Han? The general said, you are limited to hand over half of the supplies within half a month, otherwise, Wuwei County will be washed in blood! ”

When Ma Teng heard this, he immediately became angry, drew his sword, and prepared a sword to kill this messenger who did not know the height of the sky.

The envoy was a little bold, and still said very indifferently: "I didn't plan to go back, but I advised the general to think clearly!" ”

Seeing this, Pang De hurriedly attached himself to Ma Teng's ear and said: "The general is angry, there is no need to be familiar with him, let's let him go back first, and it is better to think in the long run." ”

Ma Teng was furious, kicked the messenger to the ground, and said: "Get out!" ”

The messenger stood up, dusted his body, and walked out of the horse house with his head held high.

The groom will be regarded as a long insight, a little messenger, so awesome.

Xiao Ma Chao was silent for a long time, and suddenly said loudly at this time: "Dad, please allocate 3,000 elite soldiers to the child, and the child will definitely wash Jincheng County in blood!" ”

Ma Teng was very comforted to see that his son was so ambitious, but he also understood that Han Sui was so easy to deal with.

That Han Sui now has his own troops, and there are eight generals to help, and the eight generals are all brave. He has long been invincible in the Yongzhou area.

"General, between the following, Han Sui's borrowing of materials is fake, the real purpose is to take a fancy to our city!"

Ma Teng smiled helplessly: "Ling Ming, how can I not know this!" He's really bullied people, but it's hard for us to be his opponent at the moment. I am going to repair a book, and I will send someone to Luoyang to persuade Prime Minister Dong Cheng to send troops to help! ”

"Dad, that Dong Zhuo is a thief, he will definitely stand by and watch!"

Ma Teng stroked Xiao Ma Chao's head and said: "Having said that, but it's not impossible to try, if Han Sui really develops westward, it will also do him Dong Zhuo a hundred harms and no benefits!" ”

Pound also agrees with this law.

The groom, on the other hand, remained silent. After all, Ma Teng is very wary of him now, and he doesn't bother to express any opinions until the last resort.
