Chapter 698: Expansion

In late April, Ma Teng, who set off from Liangzhou, successfully arrived in Chang'an.

Today's weather is good, the wind is mild and the sky is cloudless.

Outside the gate of the city in the west, Lu Bu led hundreds of civil and military officials to personally go out of the city to greet him.

Hundreds of horses stepped on, and Ma Teng rode in front, and when he saw a welcoming team in front of him, he turned over and dismounted. When he got closer, he saw that Lu Bu was actually waiting for him, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

"Xiaguan Ma Teng, meet General Sima!"

Ma Teng clenched his fists, and Ma Chao and the others behind him also bowed and saluted, shouting in unison: "I've seen General Sima!" ”

Lu Bu stepped forward to help Ma Teng, and his hearty laughter was full of joy: "Shoucheng, you made me wait!" After a few years of absence, you are becoming more and more strong and strong! ”

I remember when I first met, Ma Teng was still an honest farmer dressed as a farmer, selling firewood in the Chang'an market.

Now, after years of fighting and tempering on the battlefield, he already has the majesty of the superior, full of momentum, and it is incomparable.

"Hahaha, Da Sima Muzan!"

Ma Teng also laughed heartily, he only greeted Lu Bu, as for the officials behind him, Ma Teng did not say a word.

What a megalomaniacal guy!

The officials were unhappy in their hearts, thinking that they would seize the opportunity in the future and be sure to live and fall into the ground, but they had a smiling smile on their faces, congratulating Ma Teng on his successful counterinsurgency and promotion to the general of the northern expedition.

"Hey, Daddy, I'm back!" Cao Jun, who took off his helmet, ran to Cao Xing, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Son of a bitch!"

Cao Xuan rubbed his son's hair vigorously, deliberately crumpling it into a mess. His son is out of breath, he actually wants to cry at the moment, although Cao Jun is not Cao Xing's biological child, he has always regarded it as his own.

Huang Xu also ran to his father, stood upright like a soldier, and said, "Father, the child didn't embarrass you." ”

"Okay, good, Xu'er, you are proud of your father's life!" Huang Zhong said hello three times in a row, his eyes were a little red, and bright tears flashed in his eyes.

Over the years, he has been worried about his son, and he is always worried that Huang Xu's frail body will not be able to endure the hardships of marching and fighting.

Now that his son has not only returned unharmed, but he has also been promoted to a military marquis, which is really worth celebrating.

As far as Huang Zhong is concerned, the military marquis is now just a small officer, as long as he is willing, he can let his son hold an important position in the army under his own jurisdiction.

But Huang Zhong didn't do this, because he clearly knew his son's temperament, he wanted to make contributions, and he never wanted to live his life in peace and comfort under the shadow of his father.

Young and frivolous, the hearts of the teenagers are full of blood.

Huang Zhong also came over like this.

Perhaps because of his weak body since he was a child, Huang Xu has no hope of rushing into the first-class in his life, even if he is in the second-rate realm, he can't survive the middle and lower levels.

Although Huang Zhong regretted it, his son was able to be safe, which was better than anything else.

Feeling his father's mood swings, Huang Xu looked up. In his impression, his father is tall, mighty, and excellent in martial arts, as long as his father is there, no matter how fierce the beast is, he will not dare to approach half a point.

However, when he returned, he found that the corners of his father's eyes were wrinkled and his sideburns were gray.

Huang Xu's heart suddenly felt a little sour, because he knew that his father was slowly getting old.

On the other side, Gao Yang, who was holding a silver gun, also walked up to Gao Shun, she lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, and shouted: "Father." ”

Looking at his daughter, who had grown to the height of his shoulders, Gao Shun had a straight face and snorted angrily: "You still know how to call me father!" ”

When there was a rebellion in Liangzhou that year, Gao Shun repeatedly ordered his daughter to stay at home. As a result, Gao Yang still hid from his family, only left a letter, and secretly ran to Xiliang with Ma Chao and others.

Faced with his father's anger, Gao Yang didn't know how to answer, so he could only stand in place obediently to be trained.

Seeing this, Ma Chao walked over and clenched his fist to Gao Shun: "The little nephew has seen Uncle Gao." ”

Gao Shun looked at Ma Chao and asked with some uncertainty, "Are you Meng Qi?" ”

Ma Chao nodded and said 'yes'.

Gao Shun didn't say anything, he said that the eighteenth change of the female university, but he didn't expect the boy to be the same.

The little guy who had been on his chest a few years ago was now as tall as him.

At this time, Chen Wei walked over, Ma Chao bowed and saluted, grateful to the teacher who gave him the left pistol technique: "The disciple has seen Master Chen. ”

Chen Wei smiled and nodded, the most satisfying thing in his life was to accept Ma Chao as a disciple.

For those who are teachers, what are the ones who ask?

Naturally, I hope that the blue is better than the blue.

Today's Ma Chao has been among the first-class level.

After greetings, Ma Chao suddenly spoke, as if he had plucked up his courage: "Uncle Gao, I want to marry Xinran!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Gao Shun had a brief moment of surprise in the depths of his eyes, and then glanced at Ma Chao without making a sound.

Seeing that his son was deflated, Ma Teng, who was a father, strode over, with a slight smug look on his face: "General Gao, I know about marrying, and I pay attention to the words of the matchmaker with the orders of my parents." You are a major general under the command of Da Sima, and my Ma Teng is also a general of Zhengxi now, my son is worthy of your daughter, if you can afford my Ma family, you will accept this marriage. ”

Ma Teng's tone was full of domineering, and Gao Shun frowned slightly, which made him quite unhappy.

Fortunately, at this time, Lu Bu also came over, and when he heard that Ma Chao took the initiative to propose marriage, he also recalled his own time, so he asked Gao Yang with a smile: "Xiao Nizi, are you willing to marry Meng Qi?" ”

"It's all up to Daddy and Uncle!" Gao Yang, who is usually very aggressive, was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a weak mosquito voice, and a touch of shyness appeared on his face.

Seeing Gao Yang's shy appearance, Lu Bu laughed and quipped: "I used to call me Brother Lu, but in just a few years, I have been promoted by one generation." Yes? Hahaha......"

Everyone around him also laughed.

"Since you let me call the shots, then I agree to this marriage!"

Lu Bu waved his hand and promised in public that since Ma Chao and Gao Yang had a good impression of each other, Lu Bu, who had come over, naturally wanted to fulfill them.

Lu Bu had already made up his mind, and Gao Shun didn't have much to say.

"Xie Da Sima Chengquan!" Ma Chao, who was apprehensive, finally landed on the boulder, with a bright smile on his face, and he was even more grateful to Lu Bu in his heart.

Ma Chao was so happy, and Lu Bu also kept a smile on his face, as if he saw himself back then.

Then, Lu Bu interrupted the gossip and said to them: "Okay, don't stay here in a daze. I have prepared a banquet in the palace to catch you and wash the dust, and I will go to the mansion with me, and then I will meet your majesty tomorrow. ”

Ma Teng said yes and entered the city side by side with Lu Bu.
