Chapter 81: Helpless Ma Teng
"My lord, the person we sent to track Yixin has lost his trace." Zhang Baiqi came to see Ma Chao early in the morning and reported the matter of his heart.
"What? And our people? ”
"Lord, our people were just knocked unconscious, and they didn't want to tear their faces with the lord!"
"Well, what Bai Qi said is reasonable, you step down, I'm going to meet my father."
"No!"
In the military tent of the Xiliang Army, Ma Teng and Han Sui were drinking and eating roast beef, which was very comfortable.
"The child sees his father, Uncle Han!" Ma Chao entered the Chinese military tent and met Ma Teng and Han Sui.
"Meng is up? Don't be polite, Meng Qi, please get up! Han Sui was very happy when he saw Ma Chao coming, and helped Ma Chao up.
"Meng Qi, don't thank you Uncle Han much!" Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, and immediately reminded Ma Chao.
"Thank you Uncle Han!"
"Hmm!"
"Meng Qi, what are you looking for your father?" Ma Teng put down the wine bowl in his hand and glanced at Ma Chao, Han Sui's actions just now made Ma Teng feel uneasy, Han Sui wanted to win over his most powerful son?
"This?" Ma Chao scratched his head, looked at Ma Teng and Han Sui, bowed his head and said nothing.
"Meng Qi, what's wrong with you today, such a daughter's posture?" Han Sui handed a bowl of wine to Ma Chao.
"Meng Qi, what is the matter with you, why are you stumbling?" Ma Teng was also impatient when he saw Ma Chao's appearance, and directly questioned Ma Chao.
"Father, it is difficult for the child to speak, for fear that the father will blame."
"What?"
"Meng Qi, a dignified man, are you still afraid of your father's blame? Tell what is going on. There is Uncle Han here. I won't let Brother Shoucheng blame you! ”
"Meng Qi. What is going on with you today? ”
"Father, the child met a woman in Xiliang some time ago."
"A woman?"
"Yes, the child has never forgotten this woman, and after sending people to inquire in many ways, this woman is the youngest daughter of Uncle Han, Han?" Ma Chao glanced at Han Sui and lowered his head again.
"Sui's daughter?" Han Sui was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Ma Chao to fall in love with his daughter.
"Exactly. Uncle Han! Please Uncle Han is the master! ”
"Meng Qi?" Ma Teng looked at Ma Chao in surprise, Ma Chao actually liked Han Sui's daughter!
"Hahahaha! It turned out that Meng Qi was unsettled for this matter, so it was! Brother Shoucheng, look, are we deciding this matter like this? Han Sui glanced at Ma Teng with a smile, and his heart was already happy, if Ma Chao was his son-in-law, the day of unifying Xiliang would not be far off.
"This? Brother Wenyue, I still need to discuss this matter with the lady in the family, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to make a marriage contract now? Ma Teng asked tentatively. If Ma Chao really becomes Han Sui's son-in-law, I'm afraid that Xiliang will be in trouble.
"Father is relieved. The child has already enlightened his mother, and the mother also agrees with the child's decision, thinking that Uncle Han's daughter can be worthy of the child. ”
"Meng Qi, you?"
"Please forgive my father, the child really admires Uncle Han's daughter very much, and has already reported to his mother early."
"Meng Qi, you!" Ma Teng shook his head and pointed at Ma Chao.
"Please forgive your sins!"
"Brother Shoucheng, don't blame Meng Qi, you and I have lived in Xiliang for a long time, don't keep the red tape of the Han people, anyway, my sister-in-law is also from the Qiang people, Brother Shoucheng, I think this marriage will be done according to the customs of the Qiang people."
"Wenyue?"
"Brother Shoucheng, when the time comes, the younger brother will invite the cave masters of more than 40 caves of the Qiang nationality and the owners of the large and small villages of the Qiang nationality, and the seven great Qiang kings to come together to have fun with the two of us, I don't know what Brother Shoucheng thinks?" Han Sui handed a bowl of wine to Ma Teng, which is a way for the ancient Qiang people to recognize their relatives, and if they drink wine, they are in-laws.
"Shoucheng? Silverware and costumes will be sent to Tianshui Taishou Mansion, do you have to refuse Shoucheng? Han Sui accentuated his tone and took the drink one step further.
Ma Teng looked at the wine reflecting his face, this time it was difficult to ride a tiger, Han Sui wanted to invite the big and small cave masters of the Qiang people, the owner of the village, and the king of Qiang to come, it was a threat, if Ma Teng did not agree, Han Sui might unite with the Qiang people to come to crusade against him, he started in Xiliang, and relied on the power of the Qiang people to have today's status, and the relationship with the Qiang people cannot be bad!
"Good! Brother Wenyue, we drank it all, and in the future, our brotherly relationship will be closer, and we will be in-laws! ”
"Brother Shoucheng is really refreshing, Meng Qi, thank you father!"
"Thank you, father!" Ma Chao knelt in front of Ma Teng, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, Meng Qi, you get up!" Ma Teng saw that it was a foregone conclusion, and it was not easy to stop it, so he had to help Ma Chao, after all, Ma Chao was still his son, and there was family affection to maintain the relationship between the two.
"Thank you, father!"
"Brother Shoucheng, why don't we discuss some details of Meng Qi's marriage with the little girl?"
"Okay, Brother Wenyue, please!"
On the second day, outside the Xiliang army camp, Ma Chao and Han Sui were saying goodbye to Ma Teng, Ma Chao and Han Sui were going to return to Xiliang with Han to hold a wedding with Han, and Ma Teng led the army here to watch the situation of the princes from all walks of life.
"Father, after my brother and Uncle Han's daughter got married, our Ma family was like a tiger in Xiliang." Ma Tie took a bite of the leg of lamb and looked at Ma Teng happily.
"The third brother is right, father, our Ma family can finally be famous again after the ancestors!" Matthew took a sip of wine and echoed Ma Tie.
"Shut up! What do you two know, the ancestor of our Ma family was the founder of the Han Dynasty, how can he think he is a barbarian? Ma Teng shouted at Ma Tie and Ma Xiu.
"Father? Mother her? ”
"Shut up! The two of you also dare to say that your mother, although I married your mother, it doesn't mean that I am not a Han person, you must remember that you are after the Han nationality, after the general Fubo Ma Yuan! ”
"Yes, Father!" Ma Tie and Ma Xiu shrank their heads, it was the first time they were scolded by Ma Teng like this.
"Alright, you two can step down!"
"Second brother?" After the two walked out of the Chinese military tent, Ma Tie glanced at Ma Xiu.
"I didn't expect that my grandfather and father had lived in the Qiang people for many years, and they still discriminated against the Qiang people."
"De has seen two sons!"
"Oh? Lingming, why are you here? Before Ma Tie and the Ma Xiu brothers could talk a few words, they saw Pang De happily walking towards the two.
"The two sons of Qiyu, in order to thank us for sweeping away the yellow scarves nearby, the residents of Yongzhou specially sent food and clothes to reward our army!"
"Oh? Second brother, it seems that our army is still quite popular with the people. ”
"The two sons, after the lord is General Fubo, General Fubo is quite prestigious among the people, and wherever the lord's army goes, he is naturally welcomed by the people."
"Second brother?" Ma Tie gave Matthew a look.
"Ling Ming, you go in first!"
"No!"
"Third brother?"
"Second brother, do you remember what my brother said when he left?"
"What does the third brother mean?"
"Since our army is so popular, why don't we help my father make a decision, defeat Cao Cao, and go straight to the Central Plains!" Ma Tie drew his saber and pointed to the east.
"Good! The second brother is willing to support the third brother! Matthew drew his saber as well.
"Report! The lord, the second son and the third son marched to Chang'an with their headquarters! ”
"What!" The bamboo slip in Ma Teng's hand fell to the ground and shook his head helplessly. The fastest cavalry of the Xiliang Army was in the hands of Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, and he couldn't catch up. (To be continued......)
