Chapter 58, Confusion Relief

After sitting with Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, and Xue Yong in the tavern for a while last night, Lu Zhan did not return to Dong's Mansion with Zhang Liao, but returned to his residence with Ma Chao.

When he got up early in the morning, Lu Zhan saw Ma Chao, who was sleeping sideways with him, facing the wall and sleeping on the wall, holding a pillow in his arms, like a young man who thought of spring.

Smiling, he walked lightly outside. What you see in front of you is a courtyard house covering an area of several acres, and there are many flowers and plants planted in the open space in the middle. The scent of flowers wafted over with the faint morning breeze, and Lu Zhan couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a refreshing feeling arose.

In the courtyard, there was a subordinate holding a bamboo broom gently sweeping the floor, and Lu Zhan remembered the conversation between them last night while looking at him.

Entering a tavern, they sat down around the table and let the restaurant serve the food and drinks.

Lu Zhan sorted out a few mysteries on the way, and then asked, "Brother Yi, how old are you this year?" "I remembered the historical records I saw before: Ma Chao (176-222), the word Mengqi, was a native of Fufeng Maoling (now Xingping, Shaanxi)......

So, isn't he thirteen years old now? It's incredible, isn't it? At the age of thirteen, he is so tall and big, and when he is an adult, he still has it?

"Big brother, I'm fifteen years old. Why do you ask that? Do you want to give me some gifts for my next birthday? Ma Chao blinked.

"That's right, the eldest brother wants to send you a little beauty, do you want to?" Hearing him say this, Lu Zhan knew that there might be a mistake in the historical records, and he had some balance in his heart: if he was so tall at the age of thirteen, he was really a freak. He remembered that when he was thirteen, he was only about six feet. (Here 1 foot is equal to 0.25 meters)

"Hehe......" Zhang Liao and Xue Yong couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

To the surprise of the three of them, although Ma Chao blushed, he still mustered up the courage to ask, "Is this little beauty beautiful?" ”

"It's said that it's a little beauty, you say it's not beautiful?" Lu Zhan asked him rhetorically, he didn't expect him to be so thick-skinned. It was a joke, but I didn't expect him to be serious, so I had to justify myself.

"When will the big brother take me to see and see?" Ma Chao chased after him. The other two people who saw it were surprised: Ma Chao wants to start a family?

"In the future, I will definitely take you to see it when I have the opportunity in the future." Lu Zhan left himself a buffer period and nodded.

In ancient times, men and women got married early, and women were sixteen and men seventeen could be married, which is like the society in which Lu Zhan lived in the 21st century, which clearly stipulated: 20 women and 22 men.

This is what he didn't expect, and he thought that Ma Chao was "thinking and spring".

"Well, that big brother has to talk about it."

"It's hard to chase a horse." Lu Zhan thought as he spoke: If you really can't find a little beauty who can match his country, then just grab one in the crowd.

"Ma Chao is here, thank you big brother."

"Brother-in-law, is your father in Liangzhou City?" Lu Zhan asked again.

"Oh, not good." Ma Chao suddenly exclaimed, "Big brother, when I first saw you today, you said, you said you were my father's friend?" Then I think you are the eldest brother, isn't it a little inappropriate, how is this good? In a hurry, he scratched his ears and cheeks.

"Hehe, I was in a hurry, I just said this to have an excuse to help you, don't take it seriously."

"Oh, that's good." Ma Chao patted his chest and said, "My father is the Taishou of Zhangye County, and I am just a hostage in Liangzhou City." ”

"Hostages? Why? Lu Zhan said puzzledly. The other two seemed to know the reason, and their faces were unusual.

At this time, the food and drinks were served one after another. The four of them chatted while eating.

"Big brother, that's it." Ma Chao drank a glass of wine, moistened his throat, and continued, "Let me tell you this, you can understand better." My father and his eldest brother Han Sui, that is, my uncle, were originally the head snake of Liangzhou. Later, the imperial court appointed Dong Zhuo as the assassin of Liangzhou. He's a strong dragon. As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not crush the head snake. But after all, he is a man of the court, with strong strength and strong backing. In order to ensure that the well water of both sides does not interfere with the river water, my father and uncle were ostensibly attached to Dong Zhuo, but in fact they became independent forces. ”

"But Dong Zhuo is cunning and ordered my father and uncle to send a son to Liangzhou City to study, which is really a hostage. If you don't agree, let the emperor summon me to say that my father and uncle are rebellious and want to rebel. In fact, my father and uncle are not afraid of Dong Zhuo, but I thought that once a war with Dong Zhuo started, the northern Xiongnu would take the opportunity to go south, and then burn, kill and loot, and the people of Li would be in trouble. My father and uncle agreed to Dong Zhuo's request from the perspective of righteousness. And I, because I am the eldest son in the family, came to Liangzhou City. ”

"Hehe, big brother, although I am a hostage, I am walking sideways in Liangzhou City, and no one dares to care." Speaking of the back, Ma Chao laughed and said, "And Dong Zhuo has to ensure my safety, otherwise, my father and uncle will not let him go." So, I'm freer here than at home. I don't even want to go back. Just ......"

Suddenly, his face darkened, "It's just Han Jin, the son of the uncle who came with me, he has changed, and he goes in and out of the land of fireworks every day." I often see him drunk. I went up to persuade him, and he said something 'life is too short, you have to be happy in time', and I was so angry that I wanted to beat him. After a long time, seeing that he is still the same, I will leave him alone. ”

I see. Ma Chao's words solved the mystery in Lu Zhan's heart, and patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Good job, righteous brother." Life is short, but you have to be temperate in your fun, right? Be careful of overdoing it, or you will hurt yourself. ”

"Well, big brother, I won't learn from Han Jin, I will take you as an example."

was slapped by him, Lu Zhan was very useful, he smiled, looked at Zhang Liao and asked, "Brother Zhang, I want to ask, when did you come to Liangzhou City?" ”

"About a year and a half ago. Brother Lu, call me Wenyuan in the future, so kind. Zhang Liao smiled slightly, put down the wine glass and said, "I am originally from Yanmen Mayi, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I like to dance with knives and guns. originally wanted to take refuge in Bingzhou to assassinate Shi Dingyuan, but by chance he met Lord Dong who went to Liangzhou to take office, and was retained by him, so he became a chief of guard in Dong Mansion to protect the safety of Lord Dong and Dong Mansion. Hehe, time is so fast, I stayed for more than a year. ”

"Okay, then I'll call you Wenyuan in the future. I wonder how old you are this year? ”

"Twenty."

"Hehe, I'm twenty-two years old. Two years older than you. ”

……

"Knock knock", suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

The subordinate who was sweeping the floor heard it, quickly put down the broom, and ran over to open the door.

Lu Zhan woke up from his memories and stared. After seeing the door open, Zhang Liao walked in with a anxious expression, followed by two young men and women. The man has a long tiger head and a tiger brain, seven feet tall, and a strong physique; The skin of a woman is better than snow, and it is extremely beautiful.

Although the two are dressed ordinarily, when people see them, they know that they are not ordinary people.

Lu Zhan walked over and asked with concern, "Why is Wen Yuan so anxious?" ”
