Chapter 14: Meng Qi is rude
The grape wine in the Western Regions, put on the few cases in front of Zhao Yun and Chen Qun, can be regarded as blind.
Replaced by Jiang Jin and others, even if it is Yanbei, it will not be like this. But these two people don't like to drink, and they are both self-denying people, and they are in the camp of Xiliang Binghuaili, where friends and foes are difficult to distinguish, and even holding up the carved pottery bowl seems reluctant, not to mention the booze that Ma Teng expected.
However, Zhao Yun chewed the naan cake in Liangzhou, and his heart was overjoyed...... Although the naan cake is dry for a long time, it can be put for a long time, mixed with water and full, and is a first-class good ingredient as a marching dry food.
Such an atmosphere is a bit serious for Ma Teng. In the past few years, Rong Ma has been crisscrossing the northwest, and he is used to being the master, but because Zhao Yun and Chen Qun are the envoys of Yanbei, he must have a flattering look, which in itself is already unpleasant. However, Zhao Yun and Chen Qun are both incomprehensible, even if their words are respectful and their demeanor is humble, they are still alienated in the final analysis.
Ma Teng's ancestors were nobles, but that was at least three generations up, and his great-grandfather Ma Kang's generation was stripped of his title because he was involved in the rebellion of the general Dou Xian, and he was no longer noble. When he arrived at his father Ma Ping, he could only enter the court as Yulin Lang, and was later promoted to Lan Ganwei, who was only 600 stones in Tianshui, and lost his official position in Xiliang at the end. In Ma Teng's generation, his family was poor, and he made a living by chopping wood, and he only started by military exploits in middle age, and he took advantage of the general trend of the Liangzhou Rebellion and now has the dignity of today's generals.
The nobility passed down from blood in the bones has long dissipated in the clouds, and what remains is the reckless blood and courage of military exploits.
"General Ma has a deep foundation in Liangzhou, I am waiting to go to Liangzhou, and I hope that the general can help a little, Yun is grateful." Zhao Yun said, rarely raised the wine vessel to congratulate Ma Teng, and saw Ma Teng laughing heroically, and then solemnly looked at Zhao Yun according to the wine bowl and said, "General Zhao is afraid that Ma Shoucheng will make a hindrance in Liangzhou?" Don't worry, since Ma Shoucheng has agreed with Da Sima on the matter of right-hand support, he will not go back on his word, and you can go to Liangzhou with confidence. ”
Ma Teng said, then took a sip of the wine bowl, and continued: "I have sent a letter to the covenant, Captain Pang De and I have an old relationship, and it should be no big problem to have him to help in Hanyang, as for Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, Ma Play, etc., their generals are not more than General Zhao's subordinates, and they should be able to get along well." ”
Zhao Yun saw that Ma Teng saw the worry in his words, and he was not pretentious, he hugged his fists and thanked Ma Teng, and then said: "General Zhengxi, this Laiyun is still entrusted by Da Sima, I hope to see General Zhengxi and General Meng Qi in Yedu, I don't know what the general wants?" ”
Ma Teng was very embarrassed, and paused for a moment to speak: "This matter has been told to Ma Mou, and Ma Shoucheng also feels that Da Sima values it, but it is just a big matter, and please allow Ma to think about it for a while." ”
Hearing Ma Teng say this, Zhao Yun didn't force him, just smiled and nodded. He knew that Yanbei had some anxious thoughts, and now at this time, whether Ma Teng went to the imperial court or not, he could show his intentions. If Ma Teng and his eldest son enter Yedu, most of their subordinates are led by the second son and the youngest son, and whether they will come to Yedu or not will be Yanbei's turn to have the final say, and it will also mean that the Liangzhou Ma clan will be attached to the Yan clan.
It's easy to go and it's hard to come back, just as the Yan clan used malice to speculate whether the Ma clan would stumble on the backs of Zhao Yun and the others, wouldn't Ma Teng be worried
And even if Ma Teng doesn't go to Yedu, if he just stays in Fufeng enough, it will not be a bad thing for the Yan family. It's just that you can't be persecuted, otherwise it's a bad thing to backfire.
Although Zhao Yun nodded in agreement, Ma Teng still felt a little embarrassed, and took the opportunity to pick up the wine bowl only to find that the eldest son Ma Chao, the slave Ma Dai, and the youngest daughter Ma Yunlu were not in the account, and couldn't help but feel rude, raised his hand to call the second son Xiu, and asked in a low voice with his throat: "Where are Meng Qi!" ”
At this moment, the tent door was noisy, Zhao Yun put the wine bowl on the side of his lips and turned his head to look at the door, and saw several Liangzhou guards being forced to retreat slowly, two men and one woman entered the tent, the leader was eight feet long, the face was like a crown of jade, the brocade robe was covered with silver armor, and the tiger ape arm clasped the hilt of the sword; Needless to say, Ma Dai on his side is a tall and athletic woman with heroic eyebrows, and she is also a silver armor in Tsing Yi supporting the carving of a lion's head and silver pocket, and is looking at this side.
Zhao Yun knew in his heart that most of the clothes and armor of Ma's blood relatives had lion carvings, perhaps this was like the Yan family's tiger and mottoad, which was their crest. However, the lion is not one of the twelve chapters of the Han people, it is about a beast from the Western Regions. Since this is the case, the identities of a pair of men and women other than Ma Dai are naturally about to come out, and they are Ma Teng's eldest son and daughter.
"Come and sit down, stunned what to do!"
Ma Teng looked around the tent at Ma Chao's sword hilt, and couldn't help but be furious, for fear that the eldest son, who didn't know etiquette, would cause any trouble again. His feelings for his eldest son are extremely complicated, on the one hand, Ma Chao is young and heroic, fearless in battle, and the revitalization of the clan depends on such a son; But on the other hand, because his wife was a Qiang daughter, Ma Teng had little love for his eldest son when he was young, which made him cruel and ruthless in his heart, ignorant of benevolence and righteousness, and did not dare to entrust him with important tasks.
Zhao Yun sat behind the case and slowly poured the wine in the pottery bowl into his mouth, and found it without any reason, and saw that Ma Chao was stepping forward with a Han sword, standing in front of the case, staring at himself for a moment, and said: "You are Zhao Zilong, who chased and killed Guo Yan for more than ten miles in Hebei?" ”
Zhao Yunleng paused for a moment, seeing that Ma Chao's expression was not good, he slowly swallowed the wine in his mouth, thinking about how he had such a big reputation, even Ma Chao, a native of Liangzhou, knew himself, and only after a pause did he raise his head to meet Ma Chao's unruly eyes, slowly put down the wine bowl, nodded and asked, "How is it?" ”
Before Ma Chao could speak, Ma Yunlu, who was looking at Zhao Yun directly behind him, burst out laughing, secretly thinking about where the handsome young man in front of him looked a little like a hero, but he was stupid. The heroes and heroes in this world, not to mention being as strong and mighty as their brothers, should also be like thunder with big shoulders and round waists, how can they be like Zhao Yun...... Ma Yunlu couldn't help but be a little worried, this Zhao Yun was born handsome, wouldn't it be a pity if he killed his brother with a sword?
On the contrary, there was some hope in his heart that Zhao Yun would win.
"I'm Ma Chao, do you dare to compete with me?"
"Meng Qi must not be rude!" When Ma Teng heard this, he immediately took the case and reprimanded: "Get over here and sit down!" ”
Ma Chao is indeed rude, and the ignorance hidden in this rudeness makes Zhao Yun feel even more ridiculous. In Hebei and Henan, I don't know how many people die in vain in each battle, but when I go to Ma Chao, I have fun competing in martial arts, isn't it funny?
Zhao Yun smiled, he and Ma Chao didn't pay attention to Ma Teng, but asked rhetorically, "Why does Zhao want to compete with you?" ”
"Hahaha!" Ma Chao raised his head and laughed, turned his head to Ma Teng and said, "Father, are these cowards in Kanto that make you lose your ambition to the east!" ”
Zhao Yun turned his head slightly to the side, slowly got up and pulled out his sword on his waist, and looked at Ma Chao expressionlessly.
"My lord Da Sima wants to see you and General Zhengxi, lose to Zhao, and pay tribute to the court."
