Chapter 32: Ma Chao's love injury

After arranging the soldiers of each battalion to set up camps in the fifth battalion in the city, Ma Chao led Jiang Xu and Pang De and returned to the prefect's mansion together to formally hand over the military power to Ma Teng.

Although Ma Teng was officially appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, he was still in the prefect's office to handle official duties. When he entered the city, Ma Chao and others did not know about this. When they came to the prefect's office, they were surprised when they saw the plaque of the governor of Liangzhou.

The guard's personal soldiers saw Ma Chao and others looking around at the door, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Major General, can you not know the lord, have you been named the governor of Liangzhou now?"

"What, my father was named the governor of Liangzhou? When did this happen?" Ma Chao said in surprise.

"Just two days ago, the envoy of the court is still in the city." The words of the captain of the personal soldiers naturally made Ma Chao and the other two happy.

"Congratulations to my father for his success." As soon as he entered the lobby, Ma Chao saw all the city lieutenant generals and officials in the lobby and hurriedly bowed.

"Congratulations to the lord and promoted to governor." Jiang Xu and Pang De also immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Haha... you all know, please sit down." Ma Teng is so excited when he is happy, and his laughter seems particularly friendly.

"Come, come and have a banquet!" Ma Teng ordered, and the servants quickly put the wine and food in front of everyone's seat.

After the wine and food was served, Ma Teng stood up and said, "Today is a great day. When the banquet begins, this governor must first discuss the reward according to the merits."

"Jiang Xu, this governor now appoints you as the left Sima of Liangzhou and the prefect of Wudu."

"Thank you lord for the reward!" Jiang Xu was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up and bowed to thank him.

"Pang De, you are appointed as the general of the escort." Ma Teng had already planned a reward when he received the battle report from Ma Chao a few days ago, so it would not seem panic when he arranged this.

"Thank you lord." Pang De stood up and thanked.

"The order was passed on, Yang Fu was promoted to the right Sima of Liangzhou, the prefect of Longxi, Zhao Ang was the general of Fenwu of Longxi County, Yin Feng was the chief minister of Longxi County, and also the order of Didao." With Ma Teng's order, Kong Xin, who was in charge of the document, immediately drafted the order.

"Yao Qiong served as the Sima of the Wudu, Jiang Yin served as the commander of the Liangzhou Army, and Kong Xin was promoted to the Lord of Liangzhou." Ma Teng was rewarded for his merits and was promoted to the 100 lieutenant generals and senators in succession, and everyone was happy.

As Ma Chao, the eldest son of Ma Teng, made great contributions. Ma Teng naturally did not avoid suspicion and promoted Ma Chao to serve as the general of the guard and commanded the generals in the army.

Under Ma Teng's reward, the generals in a good mood were naturally drunk. The atmosphere of the whole banquet was very strong. The generals and officials were so proud that they were drunk.

When Ma Chao woke up, he was already in the room at home. It was already the first time the sun was rising, and the lights were also lit in the room. His brothers were all waiting in front of the table. When he saw Ma Chao awaken, he shouted.

"Dai'er, Yunlu, don't argue for the first time, let your elder brother drink a sip of water." It was still the carefulness of being a mother. The Mama's eyes were full of kindness and care, and she handed the tea over with concern.

"Thank you, mother." Ma Chao woke up just after he was drunk, and he was irritated. He hurriedly took the tea bowl and poured it down.

"Chao'er, I'll make it for you in person." Ma's mother took the bowl and asked caringly.

"Mother, don't worry, I'm not hungry." Ma Chao shook his head and smiled, stood up and stood up.

"Brother, can you tell us about your victory?" Ma Dai looked at Ma Chao with anticipation at this time, full of desire.

Ma Chao looked at Ma Dai in front of him, reached out and touched his little sister Ma Yunlu's head, and said, "Let me tell you every day, brother has business!"

"Brother, are you a general? You are very busy? Just like your father, you haven't seen him for a few days." Ma Yunlu pouted and pulled Ma Chao's clothes, full of confusion.

"I'll know when Yunlu grows up. OK, you all go back and rest early. I'll test your martial arts tomorrow morning. If you don't make any progress, be careful of my spanking." Ma Chao was anxious to go out, so he coaxed them and sent them back to his room.

After Ma Chao was sent away, Ma Yi was still missing, so he asked, "Mother, why didn't he see cousin?"

"He went to Chang'an and said he would open a shop there. It would probably take some time before he could come back."

Ma Chao didn't expect Ma Yi to go to Chang'an so soon. He was surprised. After sitting in the yard with his mother for a while, Ma Chao said, "Mother, you go back and rest too, I'll go out."

"Well, there is still business in the Prefecture so late?" Ma's mother couldn't help but ask with concern when she saw that he was about to go out.

"No, I'll go and see Sister Yang." Ma Chao said it truthfully to his mother.

"Has I been to the Miss Yang who was at our house the last time?"

Seeing that his mother still remembered it, Ma Chao nodded and said, "Yes."

Ma's mother was confirmed and said, "When you went to war, Miss Yang often came to accompany me. She was well-educated and kind, and she was considerate. But a month ago, for some reason, she suddenly said she was going to Luoyang, and she never came again."

"Luoyang? Why did she go to Luoyang? Mother, did she leave me any letters?" Ma Chao couldn't help asking hurriedly when he heard that she had gone to Luoyang.

"No, but every time she comes, she will ask you for information and ask if you have ever been back." After hearing what her mother said, Ma Chao couldn't help feeling a little guilty. Although he was busy on the battlefield, he still had time to write letters. He just didn't think about writing letters, so he ignored her feelings.

"Chao'er, are you okay?" Ma's mother couldn't help asking when she saw her son's face was a little bad.

"Mother, I'm fine, you go back and rest." Ma Chao walked out with guilt and self-blame and came all the way to Tianxiang Tower.

At this moment, Tianxiang Tower had already been neglected, and it was obviously closed for a long time. Seeing this scene of things and things being wrong, Ma Chao couldn't help feeling a little sad. When he remembered the scene of knowing Yang Rong, he felt sad. The woman with barefoot and a charming smile on her face had become a part of his memory that he could never forget.

With a little sadness and longing, Ma Chao strolled on the night street. Although the night was dark at this time, the streets of Tianshui were not deserted. There were vendors traveling around the world, and there were a prosperous scene.

Before he knew it, Ma Chao walked into the iron-thunder alley again. Before he could take a few steps, Ma Chao heard someone calling him.

"Mr. Ma, do you still remember me?"

Ma Chao looked at the red-haired and blue-eyed businessman in front of him and said, "Mr. Apodora, how could I forget it?"
