At the beginning of February, spring was strong, Pang De after months of lobbying, finally said that Huang Yan and Xiqiang tribes in Jiuquan were moved, they all said that as long as Ma Teng returned to Wuwei, they would re-support Ma Teng as Xiliang Taishou, in order to dispel the doubts in Ma Teng's heart, after Pang De left Qiang and Wuwei, they raised troops to attack Zhangye and Wuwei two counties, and drove Han Sui's soldiers and horses to the Huangshui area.

Longxian County, and the state camp.

"Ling Ming!" Ma Teng opened the tent and saw Pound covered in dust at a glance, presumably he had rushed to Hanyang day and night, otherwise his clothes would not be stained with yellow sand, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Pang De smiled and knelt down on one knee to report: "Qi Yu Lord, the last general will not disgrace his mission, Yue Xi and Huang Yan have already expressed their support for the lord, and they are also on the way back from the end of the world, they have joined forces to attack Han Sui, and at this time, Han Sui's soldiers and horses have been driven to the Huangshui area!" ”

Ma Teng pursed his lips, reached out to help Pang De, and patted the dust on his shoulder: "Hard work!" ”

At this time, Lu Bu, who heard the news, also opened the tent, and when Pang De saw it, he immediately gave up: "See Wen Hou!" ”

Lu Bu nodded, personally poured Pang De a cup of tea, and then asked bluntly: "How?" Did Yue Xi agree to send troops? ”

Pound glanced at Ma Teng, and after seeing Ma Teng nodding, he immediately told the whole story of the matter.

Lu Bu didn't care about the interaction between Pang De and Ma Teng, but walked to the table by himself and smashed it with a punch: "Great, look where Han Sui's old thief is fleeing this time!" He had already discussed with Ma Teng, if Ma Teng could return to Wuwei and regain power, he would join forces with Ma Teng, one to the north and the other to the south, and the two sides would attack Jincheng together, vowing to pull out the tumor of Han Sui.

Ma Teng stroked his beard and asked, "Fengxian, what are your plans?" ”

"After Brother Shoucheng returned to Wuwei, we agreed that we would jointly send troops, and if Han Sui did not get rid of it, sooner or later it would be a disaster between you and me!" Lu Bu and Jia Xu have discussed this matter many times, for Han Sui, they feel that it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible, now their threat is mainly from the Qiang in the west and Han Sui in the north, as for Liang Shuang in Wudu, it is just a dry bone in the mound, and sooner or later he will be captured alive, so they put the focus of the problem on Han Sui and the Qiang people.

If Lü Bu fought against Xichuan, it would take at least two years to capture the three vassal states of the eight counties of Xichuan, and in these two years, it would not be possible to ensure that Han Sui and the Qiang would not make trouble, so in order to keep the rear, it was imperative to go west and north.

When Ma Teng heard this, he nodded solemnly: "In this way, according to what Feng Xian said!" ”

There are four reasons why Ma Teng will send troops: First, although Anding and Beidi are under the jurisdiction of Ma Teng, the relationship between the Taishou and Han Sui of the two counties is a bit ambiguous, and the rebellion of Han Sui and the Qiang people is enough to take a peek at the leopard, if Ma Teng and Lu Bu get rid of Han Sui, it will play a role in knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. Second, Ma Teng does owe Lu Bu a favor, if it weren't for Lu Bu, he must have been captured by Han Suisheng a long time ago, how could he have a chance to regain military power? So Lu Bu's kindness, he must repay it. Three, Ma Teng and Han Sui have known each other for a long time, when the two rebelled together in the United Kingdom, they knew Han Sui's cunning and treachery, otherwise he would not have killed Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, and Bian Zhang, who rebelled against the imperial court with him, in order to grasp the military power.

Several aspects were combined, so Ma Teng decided to jointly send troops with Lu Bu to attack Jincheng.

"Just in case, I'll leave for Wuwei soon, Fengxian, what do you want to say when you leave?"

Lu Bu saw Ma Teng's appearance as if he was smiling, and immediately frowned, what attention did this Ma Teng pay attention to, no matter how he looked at it, his smile felt a little weird, although the relationship between the two was a little good after a few months of getting along, but Ma Teng's smile made Lu Bu panic the more he looked at it.

Ma Teng saw Lu Bu's blank expression, stroked his hair and smiled: "Lingqi is still a year away, haven't you thought about her future?" ”

When Lu Bu heard this, his eyebrows raised in vain, and he chewed the meaning of Ma Teng in this sentence, and after a while, Lu Bu smiled: "Shoucheng, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, why bother to twist and turn, it makes my head hurt!" ”

Lu Bu had already guessed the meaning of Ma Teng's words, but he was not in a hurry to say it, he wanted to hear what Ma Teng had to say.

Ma Teng coughed lightly in embarrassment, and then said loudly: "You and I are both martial arts practitioners, so I will say it bluntly, I want you to marry Lingqi to Meng Qi, I don't know what you think!" ”

Sure enough, as he thought in his heart, from the time Ma Chao began to teach Lu Lingqi to practice martial arts, he was just like Jiang Wei at the beginning, staying in the courtyard of martial arts practice every day. Lu Bu saw all this.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu did not immediately agree to Ma Teng, but asked rhetorically: "Is this what you mean or what Meng Qi means?" ”

Ma Teng said: "This is what Meng Qi said to me personally, but I will not be strong, if Feng Xian can look down on my Ma family, he will give Lingqi to my Ma family as a daughter-in-law, I Ma Teng swears, I will treat her like my own daughter in the future, if Feng Xian thinks it's not good, then when I don't say anything!" ”

Lu Bu's eyes were lowered, and he paced back and forth in the tent with his hands in his hands, to say that Ma Chao wanted to have a good appearance, to have martial arts, to have a good character, in addition to a little pride, the others were also passable, but he also had to consider Yan Rui and Lu Lingqi's thoughts, in the past and present life, he owed Lu Lingqi too much, I remember the last battle of the year, Lu Lingqi and Yan Rui watched themselves leave in the mansion, I don't know how many tears they left, so in this life, he wants Lu Lingqi to be happy no matter what, if his daughter wants to marry, he has no opinion, If his daughter doesn't want to get married, he won't buy it even if the king of heaven comes.

Ma Teng looked at Lu Bu with blank eyes, his eyes moved with Lu Bu's movements, this time Ma Chao gave a death order, if this matter can't be done, Ma Chao will play some kind of moth.

Time passed minute by minute, maybe a long time passed, maybe only in a moment, just when Ma Teng didn't know how to persuade, he heard Lu Bu say: "Brother Shoucheng, I can promise you, but I have to go back to the house to ask my wife before I can reply to you, and I am not afraid of your jokes, things like this, in my family, are generally my wife's decisions!" ”

Ma Teng nodded, he also felt that Lu Bu was reasonable, since ancient times, most of the marriage between men and women is the order of their parents, this Lu Bu agreed, but he couldn't guarantee that his wife in the house did not agree, so he hurriedly urged Lu Bu to return to the house, so as to give him an accurate reply.

Lu Bu had no choice but to follow Ma Teng's wish, rode out of the camp, and galloped towards Longxian.

After returning to the mansion, Lu Bu did not immediately go to Yan Rui, but stood in the courtyard and looked at the pool water silently, because he really didn't think about how to talk to Yan Rui. Just when he was thinking about it, suddenly there was a startled "huh" sound behind him, and when he turned to look, it was Yan Rui who came out of the house to the courtyard, and Lu Bu immediately showed a warm smile: "Madame, how are you?" ”

"When did the husband return home?" After Yan Rui was surprised, she hurriedly asked the maid to fetch water, and Lu Bu took Yan Rui's hand and walked to the lake, and said with a smile: "I went back at the time of the hour, just to surprise my wife, so I didn't send someone to convey it!" ”

Yan Rui's face turned red, shook his head and smiled: "Where did you learn to be so flamboyant!" ”

Lu Bu laughed when he heard this: "Madam is wrong, so-and-so has always been like this, but you didn't find out!" ”

Yan Rui raised his head and just pressed against Lu Bu's chin: "Husband, just say something, we have lived together for almost twenty years, and you can still hide it from me?" ”

Lu Bu looked down at the woman in his arms and grinned: "I still can't hide it from Mrs., then I'll be blunt."

Yan Rui looked at Lu Bu with admiration, and chuckled: "Husband, don't you stumble, don't say that I'm going to accompany Wen'er and Yun'er!" ”

Lu Bu nodded slowly, and was silent for a while before he said, "What do you think of Meng Qi?" ”

Yan Rui was very strange when she heard this, but since Lu Bu asked, she raised her head and pondered for a while before she smiled and said, "Meng Qi, martial arts are very powerful, just like you before, very powerful!" ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Shoucheng proposed to me, saying that Meng Qi wanted to marry our daughter, but I didn't agree immediately, so I came back to ask for your and Lingqi's opinions!" ”

After Lu Bu said this, he waited for a long time and didn't hear Yan Rui's reply, and he couldn't help but look down strangely, only to see that Yan Rui's eyes were full of tears, as if a rainstorm was brewing.

"Madame, what's wrong with you? If the lady is unwilling, let's not marry" Seeing his wife's tearful eyes, Lu Bu hurriedly asked the reason.

Yan Rui pursed her lips and shook her head, snorting: "Meng Qi is very good, and I am willing to marry Lingqi to him, I just didn't want my husband to ask for my and Lingqi's opinions!" ”

Lu Bu grinned: "This is our daughter's lifelong event, of course we must have your consent, okay, you and I have agreed, now it depends on Lingqi's willingness or not!" ”

"Father and mother, what are you telling me to do?"

After a few months of hard work, Lu Lingqi's martial arts have risen a few times, plus Lu Bu taught Zhang Xiu personally hand-painted the gun spectrum of the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Gun, which made her marksmanship improve by leaps and bounds, she just put on the armor, ready to review what she learned yesterday, and before she could use the marksmanship, she heard the servant say that her father called herself, and immediately quit Ma Chao and Huang Wudie, and ran to the courtyard in a hurry.

Letting go of his wife in his arms, Lu Bu stepped forward to wipe the Han water on Lu Lingqi's forehead, and said with a smile: "Lingqi, is Meng Qi in the courtyard?" ”

Lu Lingqi's face turned red, revealing the dimples at the corners of her mouth, and she nodded and said, "Brother came early in the morning."

Lu Bu looked at his daughter for a while, and finally spoke: "I want to marry you to Meng Qi, I don't know what you think?" ”

Lu Lingqi shook her head and shouted incredulously: "Father, what did you say?" ”
