That night, Ma Teng hosted a banquet for Dong Zhao in Gaoping City, and Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Pang De and others all attended one by one to accompany him.

At the banquet, there were not too many words, and Ma Teng and Dong Zhao did not talk about going to the capital again.

After the banquet was over, Ma Teng asked people to help Dong Zhao, who was already drunk, to go to the guest room to rest, and he dismissed everyone, except for Ma Chao.

Ma Teng said to Ma Chao in a calm tone: "Meng Qi, I thought about my father for a long time, and finally decided to go to the capital to be a guard captain......

After Ma Chao heard Ma Teng's words, he interrupted Ma Teng's words and said, "Father......"

"Meng Qi, listen to me after I finish speaking, my father is getting older and older, and I am tired of fighting and killing, and now His Majesty has given my father a way to stay away from Liangzhou, and he is also one of the Nine Qings, why should his father refuse? Originally, I planned to take you with me, I wanted the regent to see you too, maybe he fell in love with you at a glance and left you by his side, even if he was a general, it was much better than nesting in the bitter cold land of Liangzhou. Since you don't want to go to the capital, your father doesn't force you, you were born to be a natural war, and your behavior is frivolous, debauched, and you don't like to be restrained, after your father arrives in the capital, he will show the regent, and you will take over the position of your father, and lead these old departments of your father, hoping that they can come out of a different future under your leadership. Ma Teng said earnestly.

After Ma Chao heard Ma Teng's words, he already knew that Ma Teng had made up his mind to go to the capital, so he asked: "Father went to the capital this time, and he planned to go alone. Or do you want to bring your mother and younger siblings with you? ”

"I'm going to take your mother and your younger siblings to the capital with me. You have a strong personality. I like to be competitive, and Han Sui is also eyeing our Ma family, I will take your younger brothers and sisters to the capital together, maybe I can get a good errand and marriage for them. ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "Since the father has decided, the only way for the child to obey the order is to obey the order, the child only hopes that his father can break out of the world in the capital, and hopes that his father, mother and younger brothers and sisters can live a good life, as for Han Sui." Sooner or later, the child will completely wipe it out, and when the time comes, I will be the lord of Liangzhou, at that time, my father will be in the court, I am in the frontier, and our Ma clan will definitely be able to make outstanding achievements. ”

After Ma Teng heard Ma Chao's words, he felt some comfort in his heart, he knew that Ma Chao was a person with great ambitions, if he forcibly brought Ma Chao to the capital. may make Ma Chao rebellious, if Ma Chao is left in Liangzhou. Maybe he could do something else.

He stretched out his hands and wanted to hug Ma Chao again, but he didn't want Ma Chao to dodge and took a step back, saying: "If the father has nothing else to do, the child will leave first, and tomorrow morning, the child will send his father to the capital." ”

Ma Teng didn't know why, he had a sense of loss, did he not understand Ma Chao, or did Ma Chao not understand himself? In short, the tacit understanding and friendship between father and son seems to be much weaker than before.

Ma Teng waved his hands that were stretched out in the air, and said: "It's okay, it's not too early, you should also go to rest, tomorrow I will announce the whole army, I will go to the capital to take up my post, and all the qiē here will be in charge of you." ”

"Then the father also rests early, and the child is gone!"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao turned around and left the hall, his expressionless face showed a trace of hideousness, and his deep eyes shot out a daunting cold light, like a poisonous snake.

Ma Chaoping does not live in the mansion, but lives in the barracks with his subordinates, even if he is married and a father, but his days in the barracks are longer than at home.

Because in his opinion, there are brothers in the barracks who depend on him for life and death, brothers he can rely on, and brothers he trusts, in his eyes, these brothers are far more important than women and children.

Moreover, Ma Chao's heart is not smooth today, and it is not until today that he understands that the father he has always respected has such different ideas from himself.

Ma Chao thought in his mind while walking on the silent night road: "My father is old and has no ambition to compete for hegemony, but I am still very young, let me go to the capital to be a follower, bow my head there all day long, I can't do it, I don't want to do it, I can't do it!" Although Liangzhou is remote and a bitter cold place, there is a place I am familiar with, and this is the fertile soil for me to grow up, and I will definitely become a world-famous hero here......"

When he arrived at the barracks, as soon as Ma Chao entered the big tent, Pang De followed in with his hind feet, and said respectfully: "Young master, how are you talking with the lord?" ”

"Father has made a decision, tomorrow he will leave for the capital to serve as a guard captain, obey the call of the Holy Decree, and take all his family except me!" Ma Chao's expression was slightly gloomy, and he said weakly.

As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao casually picked up a pot of wine placed on the table, drank it with a bang, and drank it in one go. He wanted to use wine to kill his sorrows, but he didn't want to add to his sorrows.

Seeing Ma Chao like this, Pang De felt a faint pain in his heart, turned around and walked out, and said, "I'll go and persuade the lord again!" ”

"No need! It's useless, I know my father's temper and personality very well, and once he decides something, no one can change it. Ma Chao stopped Pound.

Pound turned around and asked, "Young master, what should I do then?" You can't really let the lord go to the capital to be a guard captain, right? ”

"It's my father's choice, so let him go. Besides, what my father said is also very right, he is already tired of the strife here, and he is also old, so he wants to live the rest of his life in peace, and this choice is not bad. Ma Chao said.

It seems that Ma Chao has also thought a lot, and can understand why Ma Teng did this, but he is unwilling to accept this fact, in his bones, he always thinks that his father should be with him, and even his opinion should be the same. However, things seemed to be more than he expected, and his father seemed to be a little too weak.

Ma Chaochang sighed, shook his spirits, didn't want to think about these troubles anymore, the boat was naturally straight to the bridge, everyone has their own ambitions, even if it is father and son, it is the same, let him go.

"By the way, you didn't come to me so late just to talk about that, did you?" Ma Chao suddenly changed his words and asked directly.

Pang De said: "Oh, I almost forgot to report to the young master, just now the scout brought back a person, claiming to be Han Sui's son, called Han Cheng, saying that he had something important to see the young master." ”

"Han Sui's son? Isn't it the one whose wife was killed by Hou Yin a few days ago? What can I do when I come to me? Ma Chao asked suspiciously.

Pang De said: "My subordinates asked Han Cheng, but Han Cheng said that he was willing to say it only if he saw the young master!" ”

"This is our territory, even Han Sui doesn't dare to go wild here, how capable can Han Sui's son be? Let's go, take me to meet Han Sui's son! ”

"Whoa!"

The two of them came out of the big tent, Ma Chao was behind, Pang De was in front, and the two of them came to a corner of the barracks one after the other.

There is a big tent in the corner, and there are two soldiers surnamed Ma guarding the door, who are fellow villagers with Ma Chao and are also Ma Chao's clan brothers. ”

As soon as the voice fell, Ma Dai walked out of the big tent, and Ma Chao saw through the gap in the curtain that Ma Dai had lifted, and saw an unkempt and shabby man sitting in the tent, and his hair was short, as if he had been tortured.

"Big brother, you're here, this guy is called Han Cheng, no matter how I ask, he won't speak, he won't speak until he wants to see the young master." Ma Dai greeted Ma Chao and opened his mouth to say.

"Are you sure this person is Han Cheng? The person inside seems to have been tortured, and his clothes are shabby and unkempt, so he doesn't look like Han Sui's son? Ma Chao asked.

Ma Dai said: "Big brother, it's really Han Cheng, last year, my uncle went to Jicheng together, and I saw Han Cheng, just like a fake." It's just that I'm also a little puzzled, Han Cheng is Han Sui's son, how could he get into this field and come to us? ”

Pound interjected: "Young master, could it be Han Sui's trickery?" He deliberately let Han Cheng come to us like this, and then framed us for making his son like this? ”

Ma Dai said: "I think there is a possibility, Han Sui has always been scheming, calculating, and extremely cunning, and it is not unusual to use his son as a strategy." ”

"Let's wait until we get in!" Ma Chao ordered people to open the curtain and strode into the big tent, followed by Ma Dai and Pang De.

Han Cheng sat in the big tent in despair, and saw the curtain opening, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pang De all walked in, he didn't know Ma Chao, but he had seen Ma Dai, and knew that Ma Dai was Ma Teng's nephew, but at this time, he saw Ma Dai following behind Ma Chao, and Ma Chao gave people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, he could immediately guess that it was Ma Chao who walked in the front.

However, just in case, Han Cheng still asked tentatively: "Are you ...... Ma Chao? ”

Ma Chao didn't speak, just nodded lightly and stood in front of Han Cheng.

Although both of them are young masters, the difference between the two people suddenly formed a stark contrast.

One is a fair-skinned, well-dressed, and suave person, and the other is a ragged, unkempt and down-and-out person, and the difference between the two is really like 108,000 miles.

After a short silence, Han Cheng suddenly stood up and said to Ma Chao: "I know that you have been thinking about how to deal with Han Sui, and Han Sui is also thinking about how to eliminate your Ma clan, if you help me avenge my hatred, I will help you eliminate Han Sui!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pang De were all taken aback, and the three of them never thought that Han Sui's son would actually say such a thing as wanting to eliminate his father, and looked at Han Cheng suspiciously...... (To be continued......)
