"Okay, the old man will go back."

Seeing that Li Li had made up his mind, Ma Teng no longer insisted, and personally felt the love between each other, which made him very useful.

Before leaving, he subconsciously looked around, and then whispered to Li Li: "There are some things I shouldn't have said, lest Wenchang mistakenly think that I am alarmist and absurd." However, I really can't rest assured, and I have to remind Wenchang.

This time Wenchang confronted Zhang Lu, don't despise him. Zhang Luqi is not talented, he is greedy and extravagant in pleasure, but he is not stupid, and his nature is not bad. For this person, Wenchang is not afraid, and he is also determined to seize Hanzhong. However, Wenchang must pay special attention to Zhang Lu's aunts who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and devote themselves to cultivation, as well as his youngest daughter. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Teng's tone was stunned, but he saw Li Li looking at him in surprise, which made him feel a lot of pressure.

However, he knew why Li Li had such an expression, because what he said at the moment did sound very abrupt and absurd, and it was inevitable that it was a little alarmist and unbelievable.

But this is true. When Ma Teng first heard about this, he also felt very ridiculous and couldn't believe it, until he saw the Zhang family woman with his own eyes, and he knew that there was really something unfathomable in the world.

After calming down a little, Ma Teng continued: "Maybe Wenchang is deeply suspicious of what the old man said, and feels that it is sensational and not to be believed. But I still have to say, don't look at the Zhang family, these women who cultivate the Tao are all women, but they do have extraordinary abilities, in the early years, they were quite famous in Liangzhou and Xichuan, and they occupied the famous mountains and rivers to concentrate on cultivation. Maybe. They don't have the ability to fly to the sky, but they have the ability to fly on the wall, and they are good at the method of seals. And I learned some witchcraft, which is very powerful.

The reason why the Wudou Rice Sect has been passed down to this day is not unrelated to these women. It is said that these women have already established a sect and included disciples, but their whereabouts are hidden and unknown. The old man had met Zhang Lu's aunt Zhang Zhi, his sister Zhang Yulan and his youngest daughter Zhang Qiying. There is a big difference in the generations of these three people, they are three generations of grandchildren, but the age difference is not large; If it's just by looking at it. They are all cardamom girls, pure and refined, and beautiful as fairies. That Zhang Zhi once wanted to take Yunluo as an apprentice. After being rejected, he didn't give up, and often came to the mansion to talk to Yunluo, and over time he became familiar with the Meng Qi brothers and sisters.

Later, I learned that Zhang Zhi was the youngest daughter of Zhang Ling, the founder of the Wudou Rice Sect. The actual age is much younger than Zhang Lu. At that time, she was only in her thirties, but she was beautiful, and a woman in her thirties was still as pure and lovely as a girl. It is said that Zhang Ling is good at the cultivation method of reconciling yin and yang, and there are many Taoist couples, and his heirs are prosperous, because his young daughter is even more than ten years old than Zhang Lu. Zhang Yulan is the cousin of Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei's brothers, and Zhang Qiying is Zhang Lu's daughter, who is the same age as Yunluo. The three women often go in and out of the mansion. I have seen it with my own eyes, and there is nothing wrong with it. Meanwhile. Yun Luo also learned some martial arts from them, but because she was not Zhang Zhi's disciple, she only learned a little fur. Even so, Yun Luo was very good at martial arts, and she fought with Meng Qi for sixty or seventy rounds without falling behind. Three years ago, when Yunluo was not married, the three daughters of the Zhang family had come, but since then they have disappeared and have no contact. ”

Li Li frowned when he heard this, and his face was surprised: "What my father-in-law meant was that this time my Xiliang army was recruiting Zhang Lu, and these so-called 'masters outside the world' would also be mixed in and become enemies of me?" ”

Ma Teng nodded lightly and affirmed: "I think they won't stay out of it." After all, Zhang Lu is their in-law, and the Zhang family is a big family in Hanzhong, which is related to the rise and fall of the family, even if they have no quarrel with the world, I am afraid it will be difficult to stand idly by. I'm not worried about their ability to stop my Xiliang army, but because they're worried about what they will do to you. These women are strong in martial arts, strange in their methods, not only have the method of talisman seals, but also are good at the art of poison Gu, they are invincible, and they are all extremely dangerous characters. And ??????"

Speaking of this, Ma Teng seemed a little hesitant, looked at Li Li with strange eyes, and refused to continue.

Li Li was seen by Ma Teng's scrutinizing gaze, and his hair stood up, and he was uncomfortable, and immediately said: "Father-in-law has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be taboo." ”

Ma Teng smiled slightly and asked, "Does Wenchang know how Liu Yan died in Yizhou?" ”

"This ??????" Seeing Ma Teng knowingly asking, Li Li was stunned and said: "Everyone in the world knows that Liu Yan died of a sore on his back. Could there be something else going on? ”

Ma Teng nodded happily and said in a low voice: "Exactly." I think that Liu Yan was also a royal clan member in his early years, and he had a very high prestige in the Liu clan, and he was the first feudal official to be appointed as a state pastor by Emperor Ling, which shows that he has extraordinary ability and outstanding talent. However, since Liu Yan became the pastor of Yizhou, he has not seen the wisdom of the past, and has repeatedly been deaf, and has been exposed by Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou, who has a bad heart, privately made a dragon chair, dressed in a dragon robe, and is driving in and out, hiding the emperor's ambition. It can be said that Liu Yan's reputation was all ruined after he became the pastor of Yizhou, and the most puzzling thing is that he had four sons under his knees, and the three sons were all hostages in Chang'an, but he didn't bother to redeem them. At that time, Dong Zhuo was in power, if Liu Yan was willing to pay a large amount of tribute, he would definitely be able to redeem one or two sons, but he never did this, but became infatuated with the charming and enchanting Bo Ji, and was obsessed with women in his later years. And this Bo Ji is actually Zhang Lu's biological mother Lu.

In order to get close to Liu Yan, this woman lied to Bo Ji, who seemed to be plump and charming, but in fact she was over fifty years old, and had four sons and a daughter, and her eldest son Zhang Lu was already in his thirties. However, this woman is good at health preservation, and she has the art of staying beautiful, but she is old but her face is not old, and Liu Yan is fascinated and obsessed.

Since this demon woman charmed Liu Yan under her skirt, many strange things have happened in Yizhou. Liu Mao, the only third son who stayed with Liu Yan, was a brave man, who once led troops to fight against the Southern Barbarians for his father Liu Yan, and returned with a great victory. But such a brave man died suddenly on the couch soon after he got married, and since then Liu Yan has no heirs around him, but it was the Lu family who took her youngest son to Chengdu. became Liu Yan's stepson. At the same time, the brothers Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei went to Hanzhong to plot to get rid of the former Hanzhong Taishou Sugu. Instead, Hanzhong was seized.

Since then, it has been rumored that Liu Yan is secretly disobedient, trying to divide Yizhou, establish himself as the king, and ascend the throne as the emperor. As everyone knows, Liu Yan's three sons are all hostages in Chang'an. Why did he have the audacity to usurp the throne of the emperor? Therefore, three years ago, Liu Yan paid a large amount of money and grain to show his loyalty, but then he suffered from a bad sore because he did not want to be the emperor. He couldn't afford to be sick until he died last year. When Liu Zhang returned to Yizhou to inherit the position of state minister, it is said that the Lu family instigated Yizhou officials to support his son, Liu Yan's stepson, to take Yizhou. However, it was unanimously opposed by the major families in Yizhou. made Liu Zhangshun sit on the position of Yizhou pastor. Later, it was rumored that the demon woman of the Lu family poisoned Liu Yan and caused chaos in the inner courtyard, and Liu Zhang killed the mother and son of the Lu family. Then Liu Zhang and Hanzhong Zhang Lu had a bad relationship, once sabre-rattling, the momentum became fire and water, until now Zhang Lu is still blocking the land passage in and out of Yizhou, and Liu Zhang is confronting. And several women of the Zhang family who have learned Taoism since childhood escaped into the mountains and forests because they were not ashamed of the Lu family's mother and son. Concentrate on cultivating the Tao and do not ask about the world. ”

Listened to Ma Teng's explanation. Li Lifang knew that there were so many unknown secrets in the upheaval in Yizhou last year, and it can be said that Liu Yan's reputation was all ruined in the hands of Zhang Lu's mother, Lu.

But the more Li Li listened, the more confused he became, and he really couldn't understand what Ma Teng had to do with himself when he mentioned this? There is no place between the two, one yard to the other, and there is no connection at all. The person he has to deal with now is Zhang Lu, not the long-dead demon woman Lu, not to mention that he is not Liu Yan, so he will not be so stupid no matter what.

Although there were many doubts in his heart, Li Li did not express himself, the expression on his face was still calm, and he listened attentively to Ma Teng's continuation. Because he knew that the reason why Ma Teng mentioned Liu Yan and the Lu family would not be useless, and the next words were the core of what he wanted to express.

Sure enough, Ma Teng relieved his breath and opened his mouth to break the doubts in Li Li's heart: "Among the women of the Zhang family I have seen, all of them are extremely beautiful, and these women are good at the art of beauty, they are extremely charming with a smile and a smile, confusing people's hearts, and they are extremely provocative. Once these women deliberately seduce men, they are afraid that no one will be able to resist their temptation to tease, and they will definitely comply. Don't hide it from Wenchang, the old man was a little itchy when he first saw Zhang Zhi earlier, if he hadn't accidentally seen their unfathomable skills, the old man really had the intention of forcibly taking a concubine.

It's ?????? The old man had no doubt that Wenchang's expedition to Hanzhong would be a success, but he was very worried that once you attacked the Zhang family, it would be difficult to guarantee that those hidden women would not wait for the opportunity to retaliate. Even though Wenchang is not afraid of open guns and hidden arrows, what if he encounters Liu Yan in Yizhou? These women and old husbands have seen them, and they are stunners in the world. To be precise, the appearance of Zhang Zhi and Zhang Yulan's two daughters is still better than Yunluo, and they are out of the dust, like fairies. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Teng looked around again, as if he was afraid that someone would hear, and whispered to Li Li: "Since I have said it here, I will simply tell Meng Qi about it." To tell the truth, Zhang Lu's daughter Zhang Qiying once fell in love with Meng Qi, and Zhang Zhi had the intention of setting this family affair, so he specially came to mention this matter. But I saw that the woman was too charming, she was really not a prosperous man, if she really promoted this marriage, I was afraid that it would be unfavorable to Meng Qi, so I sternly refused, and let it go, the old man would not allow such a demon girl to step into the wall of the Ma family for half a step in his lifetime. For this reason, Meng Qi and I had a violent argument, and our father and son did not speak for several months, and the woman of the Zhang family never came to the door again. To this day, Meng Qi has accepted a few concubines, but he has never been willing to marry the main room, presumably he is still thinking about Zhang Qiying, the daughter of Zhang Lu! ”

After finishing speaking, Ma Teng couldn't help sighing, his expression was very complicated, I don't know whether he regretted not promoting this marriage, or complained about his son Ma Chao and was angry.

It was only at this time that Li Li finally understood the true intention of Ma Teng's words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It turned out that Ma Teng said this call in a roundabout way, and his ultimate purpose was to persuade him not to be confused by women, so as not to repeat Liu Yan's mistakes and ruin the good situation.

After understanding Ma Teng's hard work, Li Li really couldn't cry or laugh, and was both moved and helpless by Ma Teng. Could it be that he is a complete womanizer in the eyes of this old man, who can't resist the temptation of women at all, and is easily seduced by women, and then indulges in it and can't extricate himself?

However, Li Li can understand Ma Teng's good intentions. After all, Weng and son-in-law are not as good as father and son, and there are some things that the father can say bluntly to his son, and even reprimand him sharply, but the father-in-law can't do this to his son-in-law. Especially when it comes to such a sensitive topic and involves your own daughter, you should naturally try to be tactful and avoid the unhappiness of your son-in-law as much as possible. Otherwise, the advice will not succeed, but will become an accusation, which can easily lead to the breakdown of the relationship between Weng and the son-in-law, and then lead to the neglect of his own daughter, which will directly affect his future life. What's more, the relationship between Li Li and Ma Teng is by no means an ordinary son-in-law, and it also involves the subordinate relationship between the lord and the minister, which makes Ma Teng have to be extra cautious and careful when speaking, and the proportions of his words must be grasped well, otherwise it is better not to say the wrong thing with good intentions.

It can be seen that Ma Teng really regards Li Li as a relative, and some words are clearly known to be inappropriate for him, but he still says them without reservation, and his purpose is nothing more than to hope that Li Li will make fewer mistakes, take fewer detours, and achieve hegemony as soon as possible. This sincere heart made Li Li extremely moved, and then he really accepted Ma Teng as his father-in-law in the depths of his heart, and no longer mixed with interests and exploitation.

However, Ma Teng would never have imagined that he was concerned about chaos, and originally mentioned the Zhang family woman to remind Li Li to beware of women's revenge methods and not to be confused by women. But he didn't know that it was precisely because of his recounting that it aroused Li Li's curiosity, and before he saw him, he kept it in his heart, and was full of anticipation for what would happen next. And this was what Ma Teng didn't expect, so that when a qiē was placed in front of him, he was immediately stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

It's a pity that when Ma Teng regretted it, it was already a boat, and raw rice was cooked into mature rice, even if he regretted it, it would be useless. For this reason, he regretted it, shouting that he was troubled and regretted that he was not at the beginning!

?????? After Ma Teng left, Li Li did not hesitate, and immediately led the cavalry out of the city and went straight to Zhang Wei's camp to kill the general.

This was the first battle of the Western Liang army stationed in Chencang City, and it was also the first battle of Li Li's conquest of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. The whole battle lasted for a short time, excluding the time of the march, it was only half an hour, and the outcome of the battle was predictable.

?????? Lost the first battle.
