The news of the destruction of the Chen family spread like wings all over the two counties of Hanyang in Longxi in an instant, and those scholars who did not participate in the rebellion secretly rejoiced in their hearts alone, and those who participated in the rebellion were panicked all day long, they didn't know if Lu Bu would treat his family like the Chen family, or more directly; The life and death of the rebel family are all in the hands of Lu Bu, and whether they survive or die depends on Lu Bu's thoughts.

Time flies, like a white horse passing by, Lu Bu has not returned home since he returned to Longxian, not that Lu Bu doesn't want to, it's just that these tens of thousands of horses will take a few days to finish. Moreover, there were many casualties among the soldiers in this rebellion and the state, and a series of reorganized military horses to appease and sympathize with such things did not need to be carried out by Lu Bu personally, but as the commander of the state army, it would never be possible to implement it without Lu Bu's nod in the big aspects, so after Lu Bu and Zheng Hun and others were busy in the military camp for several days, Lu Bu was able to go home to accompany his wife and daughter.

Going home, Lu Bu didn't make much movement, he took Ma Teng's family back to the mansion quietly, and under his signal, the subordinates did not alarm anyone.

Due to the tiring journey along the way, in addition to Ma Teng and Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Yunlu had already been angry, obviously sleepy, Lu Bu saw it in his eyes, so he asked his subordinates to take the four children to the wing room to rest, and he took Ma Teng and Ma Chao towards the inner hall in the backyard.

Walk into the inner hall, only to see a puddle of clear lake in front of you, there are reeds and fish in the lake, and there are some floats of green glaze, with the carp swimming in the water and gently rippling, let people see it, it is really refreshing and happy.

Just when Lu Bu and Ma Teng were talking happily, a burst of messy footsteps sounded in their ears, and they could faintly hear the sound of a woman talking not far away, Ma Teng and Ma Chao looked sideways, and saw that in the bluestone road between the different grasses and flowers and trees, a young woman dressed in not too luxurious clothes was led by the maidservant and the family, and walked towards Lu Bu and them quickly.

The young woman saw Lu Bu standing in the courtyard from afar, and her face was suddenly overjoyed, and she opened her mouth and called softly: "Husband! ”

When the woman was about twenty years old, her facial features were quite beautiful and dignified, she was dressed in palace clothes, and there was a mutton fat hosta inserted in her sideburns, which made her whole person look indescribably elegant, Lu Bu smiled, pointed at Yan Rui and said to Ma Teng: "Brother Shoucheng, this is my wife!" ”

Ma Teng hurriedly led Ma Chao to bow to Yan Rui, Yan Rui also bowed back lightly to Ma Teng and his son, although she wanted to be alone with Lu Bu in her heart, but knew that this was not the time, so she gave another salute to Ma Teng and his son, and after saying goodbye, she led a group of maids to slowly withdraw from the courtyard and walked towards the inner hall.

When Lu Bu saw his wife leaving, he turned his head and said to Ma Teng: "Brother Shoucheng, please come to the hall to talk!" ”

"That's great!"

Ma Teng answered, and followed Lu Bu to the backyard.

After sitting in the back hall, Lu Bu took a sip of tea, and then asked: "Brother Shoucheng, I don't know when General Pang De will return?" ”

Ma Teng lowered his head and calculated the time carefully, and then said, "It is estimated that it will take about a month!" ”

Lu Bu kept tapping his index finger on the table: "If General Pang De comes back, what are the plans of Brother Shoucheng?" Is there anything you need help with? Although most of the reason for the fall of the entire territory of Longxi this time was caused by Lu Bu leading a large army to aid Ma Teng, Lu Bu did not regret it. He was originally the soldier and horse of the outer county who entered Xiliang the year before last, and in this intertwined Han border, he needed a strong ally too much, and Ma Teng was the best candidate. Therefore, a good man will do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west, if Ma Teng still needs any help, as long as it does not exceed Lu Bu's bottom line, he will not hesitate to assist Ma Teng again to recapture the Wuwei Prefectures

Ma Teng looked at Lu Bu gratefully for a while, then immediately got up and hugged his fists and said, "Fengxian, thank you for your great kindness, I, Ma Teng, have written it down!" ”

Lu Bu smiled: "If Brother Shoucheng hadn't let me Lu Bu into Xiliang at the beginning, I'm afraid I would still be a lost dog at this time, if I want to say thank you, it's me Lu Bu Xie you!" Lu Bu's words are false and true, in his heart, he is indeed very grateful to Ma Teng, if Ma Teng hadn't let go of the road in Huaili, I'm afraid he would still have no fixed place at this moment.

Ma Teng hurriedly waved his hand and said politely: "This is the so-called fate, if I hadn't let go of Longxi at the beginning, I'm afraid I would have died at this time, but I do have an idea in my heart!" ”

Ma Chao saw that Lu Bu and Ma Teng were talking to me, and he didn't intervene at all, so he immediately got up and said to the two: "Father, Uncle Wenhou, can I go out for a walk?" ”

Seeing this, Lu Bu glanced at Ma Teng, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Meng Qi, do you want the servant to take you away!" ”

Ma Chao hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I'll just wander around alone, Uncle Wenhou still discusses with my father if it's important" After speaking, he got up and bowed to leave, and left the hall with a brisk walk.

Out of the hall, Ma Chao soothed the sour ape arm, raised his head and took a deep breath, and then took a step to start wandering around Lu Bu's mansion, just when Ma Chao was concentrating on enjoying the scenery of Lu Bu's mansion, he heard a few coquettish cheers from the courtyard next door, and from time to time it was mixed with the percussion sound of "thunderbolt", Ma Chao has followed his master to learn guns since he was a child, and he is no stranger to such a sound, this crisp sound should be the sound of wooden sticks, presumably someone next door is practicing guns, thinking of this, I can't help but be a little curious, Could it be that there are still people in this mansion practicing guns? Immediately he walked towards the courtyard.

"Die'er, it should be like this, you see it!" Approaching the courtyard, a girl's voice clearly came into Ma Chao's ears, and he couldn't help but be curious, tiptoeing next to the courtyard gate, and then quietly stretched out his head to look.

I saw two little girls in the courtyard dancing with guns and sticks, about thirteen or fourteen years old, both of them were wearing simple armor, each holding a wooden gun in their hands, and they looked very lively in the sunlight.

One of the girls seemed to be older than the other, and was sweating profusely at this time waving the wooden gun in her hand, every move and style was slightly green, but she danced well, quite a few marksmanship, and one of the girls was watching intently, and when she saw the highlights, she didn't forget to stroke her palms and applaud.

Suddenly, the girl who was dancing with a gun made a careless move and stepped on a rolling stone, she immediately screamed in panic, and the whole person sat on the ground fiercely, Ma Chao couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw this.

Lu Lingqi was already grinning with her teeth broken, and she was already unhappy in her heart, and she just couldn't find a place to vent, just at this time, there was a sound of unbridled ridicule outside the courtyard, and she couldn't help but be furious at the moment, and looked over angrily.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Seeing a heroic and upright teenager laughing outside the courtyard, Lu Lingqi strode up and pointed a wooden gun at Ma Chao and scolded him.

Ma Chao looked at the wooden spear head in front of him, instantly suppressed his laughter, and immediately changed to a cynical look: "Girls should learn embroidery, silkworm raising, and weaving at home, but isn't it a shame to dance knives and sticks here?" ”

Lu Lingqi raised his eyebrows, looked at Ma Chao with a smile, and then picked up the wooden gun in his hand and stabbed Ma Chao in the abdomen, Ma Chao shook his head mockingly, dodged Lu Lingqi's blow vigorously, and snatched Lu Lingqi's spear casually: "I can't even hold a gun steadily, and I still want to practice marksmanship?" Ridiculous and ridiculous! ”

Lu Lingqi bit her pink lips, turned around and took down the wooden gun in Huang Wudie's hand, and rushed towards Ma Chao with the gun again, the two were close, Lu Lingqi walked like the wind, and the wooden gun stabbed Ma Chao's chest three times in a row, each shot was like a white snake spitting out letters, tricky and fast, and the guns were all vital points.

Ma Chao grinned, he didn't think that this girl's marksmanship was not bad, so he immediately swung his gun to catch up.

With Ma Chao's scolding, Lu Lingqi only felt numb, the spear in his hand was unconsciously picked up by Ma Chao, and the apricot stared at the young man with a mocking face in front of him, Lu Lingqi stomped his feet, took Huang Wudie's hand and turned around and ran.

Ma Chao looked at the back of Lu Lingqi leaving, and he didn't know why a strange feeling rose in his heart, that feeling was like when he touched the mystery of marksmanship, very comfortable and warm.

He wanted to grasp that feeling, but it was fleeting, no matter how Ma Chao looked for it, but he couldn't find it, he looked down and laughed, Ma Chao looked up again, only to see where she was still at this time, and his heart was suddenly lost, and he carefully parked the wooden gun on the wall, turned around and walked towards the hall.

Lu Lingqi dragged Huang Wudie all the way into the hall, looked at Lu Bu who was sitting behind the table angrily, and immediately said loudly: "Father, a kid just defeated me, you quickly teach me marksmanship, I want to teach him a lesson!" ”

Lu Bu looked at Lu Lingqi with a resentful look, and then set his eyes on Huang Wudie's body, and suddenly, Lu Bu shook his head and smiled at Ma Teng: "Let Brother Shoucheng see it, this is the little girl Lu Lingqi." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he pointed to Huang Wudie and said: "This is my righteous daughter Huang Wudie, she is the daughter of my general Huang Zhong!" ”

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he said to the two of them solemnly: "Why don't you hurry up and meet Uncle Ma Teng!" ”

It was only at this time that Lu Lingqi found that there was another person in this hall, she snorted coldly at Lu Bu, and turned to Ma Teng: "Lingqi to meet uncle!" ”

Huang Wudie also saluted with Lu Lingqi: "Die'er to meet uncle!" ”

Ma Teng laughed heartily and stroked his hair: "The two nieces are exempt, I just heard from you that someone bullied you, you tell your uncle who he is, and I will teach him a lesson for you!" ”

At this time, Ma Chao also walked into the hall with his head bowed and lonely, and before he could raise his head to salute, he heard a girl scolding: "It's him who bullied me, and my uncle is the master for me!" ”
