Zhuang Lang City.

On the head of the city, the banner of the word "Han" is densely inserted all over the city head, and it is flying in the wind.

Around the city, more than a dozen camps are huge, and the flags are also rolling like waves.

From a distance, Zhuanglang City must be heavily garrisoned, and there must be at least fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses.

At the east gate of Zhuanglang, Ma Yunlu stood at the head of the east gate, looking down at the camps around the city, and saw the reality inside clearly.

The soldiers in each camp are only more than 500 people, and the rest are mostly straw men in armor, and the countless banners are just Liu Bei's bluff to create the illusion that his army is still in Zhuanglang City.

"Be smart, hum ......" Ma Yunlu snorted lightly, and a trace of imperceptible sarcasm flashed between his eyebrows.

"Little sister, my father is back, my father is back!" Behind him came Matthew's excited shout.

Ma Yunlu's figure shook slightly, his thoughts returned to reality, and a happy color appeared on his cold face, and he was busy following Ma Xiu down to the city.

Just as she went down to the city, she suddenly felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her behind her.

She turned her head suddenly, and saw a figure, quickly flashing into the shadows, and when she turned her head, the eyes that were secretly followed and stared at hit her heart again.

"They even sent someone to spy on us, hum......"

Ma Yunlu snorted, a trace of contempt and disgust flashed in his eyes, followed Ma Xiu down the city, turned a corner, and suddenly stopped.

"Little sister, why don't you leave, hurry up and see your father." Matthew turned his head and urged.

Ma Yunlu raised his index finger and made a silent motion.

Matthew was stunned, his eyes were dazed, and he hadn't reacted yet.

At this time, Ma Yunlu heard the sound of footsteps, and suddenly flashed out, and bumped into a person in front of him, without saying a word, he raised his hand and smashed it with a punch.

The man screamed, covered his face and fell to the ground.

Ma Yunlu rushed forward, trampled the man under his feet with one kick, and scolded: "Dog, dare to follow me, saying, who sent someone to spy on us?" ”

"I didn't ...... No one sent me, I was just passing by, I don't know what you're talking about, general~~" The man covered his bruised nose and swollen face, and complained squeakily.

Ma Xiu was alarmed, and hurriedly followed, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but wonder: "Little sister, what's going on?" ”

Ma Yunlu pointed at the man: "When I was in the city, I felt that something was wrong, and I always felt that someone was watching us, and I happened to be arrested." ”

Ma Xiu frowned, took out a short knife, put it on the man's neck, and shouted: "What a big boldness, are you the meticulous work of Wei Jun, you dare to spy on us, and if you don't confess, Lao Tzu cut your throat." ”

"The small one is not fine, the small one didn't monitor the two generals, spare your life~~" The man still didn't admit it.

Matthew's face was gloomy, and his hand gradually increased, and the man's neck was immediately cut open, and blood flowed out.

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life, the little one said, the little one said, it was General Wu Ban who ordered the little one to monitor you." The man was afraid of death, and immediately confessed.

Ma Yunlu and Ma Xiu glanced at each other, Ma Yunlu drew his sword and beheaded the man, and scolded: "Wu Ban's dog thing, he dares to spy on his aunt and grandmother, looking for him!" ”

Matthew stopped his sister and persuaded, "Little sister, don't be impulsive, forget it." ”

As he spoke, he let go of the short knife in his hand and kicked the man's ass: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you get out of here, do you really want to die!" ”

"Thank you for the general's grace of not killing, thank you for the general's grace of not killing~~" If the man was pardoned, he got up and fled wildly.

"Second brother, why do you want to let him go, he is spying on us!" Ma Yunlu scolded indignantly.

Matthew sighed: "Wu Ban is His Majesty's personal entourage, even if he spies on us, most of it is out of His Majesty's instructions, if you kill this person and spread it to Your Majesty, it will only arouse Your Majesty's suspicion." ”

Ma Yunlu realized at this time, but he was unwilling in his heart, snorted coldly, and put away his sword.

The two siblings got on their horses and went straight to their camp.

Halfway through, Matthew was puzzled: "Strange, so decent, why does Your Majesty spy on us?" ”

Ma Yunlu said disdainfully: "What's so strange about this, he now wants his eldest brother to guard the street pavilion for him, and he wants to marry me to envelop our Ma family, not only to use us, but also to guard against us, so naturally he doesn't worry about us, so he wants to call Wu Ban to monitor us." ”

Ma Xiu suddenly realized, and couldn't help but sigh bitterly: "Your Majesty, why bother, you are going to marry him soon, Liu and Ma will soon be a family, why should the family guard against the family." ”

"Oh, I don't want to marry him!" Ma Yunlu glanced at him, whipped his horsewhip hard, and sped away.

"This girl is still so willful, alas~~" Matthew shook his head helplessly and patted the horse to follow.

The two of them returned to the camp one after the other, and when they arrived at the big tent, Ma Teng was already sitting around the fire to warm his hands.

Of course, the father and son were overjoyed to see each other, and the Ma brothers and sisters hurried to meet Ma Teng.

Ma Teng helped the two of them up, asked long and short questions, and asked about the recent war.

His brother and sister didn't dare to hide it, so they had to tell Ma Teng about Ma Tie's capture.

Ma Teng was silent for a while, and poured a few glasses of stuffy wine before he sighed bitterly: "I didn't expect that Su Zhe would be so good that he would force His Majesty to this, and another member of our Ma family broke it in his hand, alas~~"

Ma Xiu just sighed, but Ma Yunlu said unfairly: "What a price we have paid for his Liu family, but people still complain that we are unwilling to do our best, and they still suspect us, I see, the third brother, his sacrifice is really not worth it." ”

Ma Teng's face changed slightly, and he didn't understand the meaning of his daughter's words for a while.

Ma Yunlu complained to Ma Teng about the events of the day.

Ma Teng's expression was also gloomy, drinking wine cup by cup, but he didn't speak.

"That's just the impulse of Guan Zhang and the others, I think Your Majesty should still be wise, otherwise how could Your Majesty marry your little sister and marry our Ma family." Ma Xiu spoke for Liu Bei.

Ma Yunlu snorted disdainfully: "He wants to marry me, it's just to borrow the prestige of our Ma family in Liangzhou, when he owned the land of Sanzhou, how could he not see him have such thoughts." ”

"Little sister!" Matthew glared at her, suggesting that she should not be too pretentious in her words.

Ma Teng sighed again, but said: "Back then, I took our Ma family to the Son of Heaven, that is, the Son of Heaven was the lord of the world, and there was the hope of the Zhongxing Han family, and our Ma family was also expected to become the minister of Zhongxing, who would have thought that things would develop to such a point, it was really unexpected for my father......"

Matthew also sighed, and the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became heavy.

At this moment, a person outside the tent walked in, it was Ma Yunlu's henchman Ma Halberd.

"You're back? What about his promise? Ma Yunlu's expression became excited.

Ma Ji stepped forward and whispered to Ma Yunlu.

"What you said is true, are you really right?" Ma Yunlu's expression suddenly became ecstatic.

"It's true, this kind of big thing, how dare the small one talk nonsense." The horse halberd is colored.

Over there, Ma Teng's father and son saw the two of them muttering, and the father and son looked suspicious, both wondering what the hell Ma Yunlu was doing.

Ma Yunlu looked overjoyed and said, "Father, tell you a good news, the third brother is still dead, he is still alive!" ”

"What did you say, Tie'er didn't die?" Ma Teng jumped up excitedly, looking incredulous.

"Little sister, how do you know that the third brother is not dead?" Matthew was equally excited, but incredulous.

Ma Yunlu took a deep breath and said frankly: "At this point, then I won't hide it from you, I have sent Ma Ji to Wei Ying to express to Na Su Zhe that our Ma family's submission is good, so Ma Ji can see the third brother, and the third brother has also surrendered to Emperor Wei Su Zhe." ”

As soon as these words came out, the Ma father and son changed color in shock.
