Sure enough, Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi. Although Ma Chao had already known it in his heart, when he heard it from Ma Teng, his heart still trembled slightly.

"Chao'er, your grandfather said that Meng is the first, and that the rise is the rise. I hope that my Ma family has risen since my grandson, so the name of Changsun of my Ma family is Meng Qi!" Ma Teng said while making nostalgic statement.

So that's what it means. At least Ma Chao didn't expect what Meng Qi meant before.

Of course, the ancients' words "大天" were not called casually, and each has its own meaning. For example, Dong Zhuo, who met in a noodle restaurant before, had his name Zhongying. Because Dong Zhuo ranked second at home, he was Zhong, and Ying means smart. His family hoped that Dong Zhuo would not be stupid at critical moments and be smarter in dealing with people and things, so the word "天" given to him was Zhongying.

"Okay, Chao'er, go." Although Ma Chao already has the word "大天", Ma Teng, as his father, still likes it and is used to being called Ma Chao'er.

"No, I'm leaving." Ma Chao turned around and returned to his house.

The next day, Ma Teng returned to the army, while Ma Chao packed his things at home and prepared to set off. However, under the persuasion of his mother Liu, he still agreed to stay at home for a few more days and wait for the beginning of May to go out again.

Just as Ma Chao was cleaning up the house, a servant came to report that an old friend was visiting outside the door.

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this. An old friend? He seemed to have few old friends. Teacher Yan Zhong? Impossible, Dong Zhuo? Impossible. No matter who it is, you will know it when you go out and take a look. He thought so.

When he arrived at the door, Ma Chao saw this, let alone the person who came was really an old friend.

The visitor was riding a maroon horse and a halberd was hanging. The visitor dismounted, and when he saw this, he was more than eight feet tall, neither fat nor thin, and looked very strong, with a burden on his back. The visitor was not someone else, but Cui On, the only son of Ma Chao's husband Cui Hong.

After Cui An got off the horse, he saw Ma Chao at a glance. Before Ma Chao could speak, he came to Ma Chao and knelt down for Ma Chao in a flash, "Fufeng Cui An, Cui Fuda, pay homage to the lord!" The voice was very loud, and he jumped at Ma Chao who was not prepared.

Ma Chao didn't have time to say anything, but Cui An said again: "Before my father left, I told me to come to you and be your lord! From now on, I will do whatever you do, and I even gave me a word called Fuda!"

After hearing Cui An's words, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel guilty. He promised Mr. Cui to take care of Cui An, but for the past five years, he has only cared about himself and didn't care about others. Now he is the one who comes to find him first. Thinking of this, Ma Chao helped Cui An up with both hands, "Fuda, please get up. I feel ashamed of Mr.!"

"No, lord." Cui An stood up.

Looking at Cui An in front of him, Ma Chao was very happy. Finally, he had a subordinate of his own. Moreover, Cui An still knew a little about his abilities. In the future, if you want to fight for the Three Kingdoms, you must not miss any civil and military officials. Today, you will get a powerful general? It can be considered a good start.

What Ma Chao was even happier was Mr. Cui’s trust in him. It is not difficult to see from the words "安" given to his son that Fuda is homophonic with Fuda. It seems that Mr. never expected Cui An to shine his ancestors, but hoped that his son would be safe and blessed with his life.

Cui An is not a natural fool, but it has nothing to do with Cong's clear mind. Sometimes his brain is short-circuited, so Cui Hong is really worried about his son, so he asked him to follow Ma Chao. He believes that Ma Chao will definitely take care of Cui An.

He invited Cui An to the house and arranged the room. During this period, Ma Chao asked Cui An what he had done over the years. Cui An talked about his experiences over the years to Ma Chao.

It turned out that before Cui Hong left, he told Cui An that after I left, you go to join Ma Chao and become his lord, and I will be relieved to follow him. However, if he wants to study, it will take five or six years, so you can find him after he has achieved success in a few years. You can stay at home for the time being, don’t cause trouble. In five years, you can find Ma Chao.

After hearing this, Cui An nodded and agreed. He wanted to say that he was so old, he could be said to be afraid of the world, but he was afraid of the two of them. The first one was his teacher, and the other was Cui Hong.

However, his teacher has passed away and can't control him anymore, and his father Cui Hong doesn't know where to go. Although no one cares about it, Cui An is still very obedient. Cui Hong doesn't let him go out. He has never been out except to pay homage to his teacher and relatives every year. Fortunately, the Cui family has been doing business for generations and has a lot of family background, so he can keep eating and drinking, otherwise it would be a problem.

More than five years have passed like this, and the past five years have made Cui An suffocate, but he finally survived. It was almost time, so he quickly packed up his things and came to Longxi to find Ma Chao. Then the previous scene was the previous scene.

"Fuda, you will be with me from now on, but you must listen to me, or you will go back to your hometown in Fufeng!" Ma Chao said seriously.

"Lord, don't worry. My father has told me a long time ago, I will definitely listen to you!" Cui An promised with a patted chest.

Ma Chao said to Cui An again, just ask him to call him Meng Qi, but Cui An was a stubborn person. He said that his father asked him to call him lord, and he had to listen to his father's affairs. Ma Chao said, where can I go to find your father? There is no way, so he will not waste time on this matter.

The next day, the two of them competed with martial arts. Ma Chao and Ma Teng had a few times before, and they had a quick skill. He told Ma Teng not to give in to him. As a result, the first time, Ma Chao lost. The second time, he lost again. The third time, the two fought for more than 150 rounds, without a winner, and finally they were tied. However, Ma Chao knew that if he was on the battlefield, he would still lose, so Ma Chao now positioned himself as a second-rate, but lacked practical experience.

Today, if you have the opportunity to compete with Cui An, Ma Chao also wants to see if he has made any progress, and he will also test what level of Cui An is.

The two of them rode to the suburbs, both preparing.

"Fuda, you don't have to give in to each other after a while, use your real skills!"

"No, lord!" Cui An was a stubborn man. If you let him not let him go, you would never let you go.

As a result, after the two fought, Ma Chao was surprised. Cui An was indeed powerful. As soon as an expert reached out, he knew if he had it. Cui An was definitely much more powerful than himself and had a first-class martial arts.

In the first fifty rounds, Ma Chao and others had a draw, but by the 100th round, Ma Chao could not stand it anymore. Just after 100th round, Ma Chao was completely defeated. In this case, Cui An was stronger than Ma Teng and should be at the top of the top level.

Although he was defeated, Ma Chao was even happier. This is a general. A first-class military general is easy to get, but it is hard to get a general.

In the next few days, the two of them also exchanged every day, and not only did they compete. Ma Chao also asked Cui An for advice on what he didn't understand in his marksmanship. He said that Cui An was indeed very good at learning martial arts and was very talented. Cui An didn't understand the 20% that Ma Chao didn't understand at all. But Cui An understood the 20% that Ma Chao was half-baked, and explained it to Ma Chao little by little. When this kid talked about martial arts, his brain was the best, but it would not work at other times.

After hearing Cui An's words, Ma Chao suddenly realized that he had finally fully understood the half-baked 20% of the marksmanship, and the marksmanship reached a new level.

When he made progress, Cui An also made progress. Cui An knew two sets of halberd techniques, one was taught by his teacher, and the other was created by himself, but his own creation was not very perfect. But when he saw Ma Chao's marksmanship, he gradually improved his own creation of halberd techniques. Although it was not completely perfect, it was definitely stronger than before.

As a result, when the two of them competed again, Ma Chao could support Cui An for only thirty rounds. In fact, both of them made great progress, but they didn't feel much.

May is coming in a blink of an eye, and Ma Chao is leaving. Of course, Cui An and Liu have prepared two good horses for them.

There are not many other places in Liangzhou, but there are the most cattle, sheep and horses. There are many horses, but it is not easy to find a BMW. However, if you pay for a good horse, you can still buy these two top-notch horses. Liu spent a lot of money to buy from the Qiang people, and both Ma Chao and Cui An liked it very much.

Ma Chao hung his spear on the horse and then got on the horse. On the other side, Cui An also hung a halberd and got on the horse. In addition to the spear, Ma Chao also brought his snow-drinking knife, which Ma Chao wrapped in cloth and carried behind him. Of course, there was also a bag, which contained several sets of clothes and eight books.

In addition to the two left by Nanhua, these eight books also include the six books written by Ma Yuan, which was copied by Ma Teng. There were some wealth in the bag, and Cui An brought less than Ma Chao's things. Apart from his halberd and money, it seemed that there were only a few pieces of clothing.

They took these things on the horse and said goodbye to their families, and they set off on the way. The first destination was Wuyuan Jiuyuan in Bingzhou, where Cui An got to learn from his master, and his teacher was buried there. Now it was just the day to worship the teacher again, so Cui An was of course going.

Ma Chao has never been to Bingzhou before, so he has to go there this time. Bingzhou is his first stop. As for where he goes, it will be the same as Bingzhou, but when he hears it is Wuyuan Jiuyuan, Ma Chao still lit up. If he is lucky, he might even see famous people.

The two of them did not leave in a hurry, and they only lasted four or five hours a day. When they were tired, they would take a break, rush to travel during the day and go to bed at night. Anyway, there was time, so they didn't have to travel day and night. If they met a city at night, they would go to the city to spend the night. If they couldn't get in or went out of the wild, they would spend the night outside the city or in the wild.

During the five years he studied with Yan Zhong, Yan Zhong took Ma Chao to spend the night in the wild, and he had been trained long ago. Cui An, this kid is even more powerful, and he can fall asleep if he finds a place.

Ma Chao and Cui An came all the way, but some people were in trouble. During this period, there were many blind robberies. In fact, Ma Chao and Cui An were dressed very ordinary and did not look like rich people at all. But their mounts were good horses, so they basically came for horses.

As soon as they appeared, they said, "You two keep the horses and the people can leave." If they resist, then they all stayed. At this time, before Ma Chao said anything, Cui An went up directly, without saying a word, one halberd, and several others were killed in a few strokes. That's right, just those three-legged cat kung fu, how could they compete with first-class generals like Cui An? When the rest saw it, they immediately ran away.

This situation happened three times, and Ma Chao really couldn't stand it anymore. He told Cui An that if there was such a thing next time, you wouldn't have to take action. I'll deal with it myself. Ma Chao felt that the people who robbed should be forced by life and could not do so. Who would have food and drink at home and still run away from this robbery?

If a bandit or evil person is killed, he will kill him. But you see, these people are all wearing ragged clothes and they are holding hoes, sticks, etc. There are also two or three holding ring-headed knives, but they are either rusted knives or scrapped gaps. Can such a team be professional bandits?

So Ma Chao couldn't bear to hurt their lives. Cui An was not very smart about his work, so Ma Chao refused to let him take action again. Later, he met such a team, and Ma Chao went up alone, all of whom were beaten to the point of being beaten.

After experiencing these small episodes on the road, Ma Chao and the others finally arrived at Jiuyuan City, Wuyuan County. He first went outside Jiuyuan City with Cui An to worship Cui An's teacher. Although Cui An didn't talk too much, he didn't like to joke. But when paying homage to his teacher, Cui An was crying and kept kowtowing.

If Cui An is 21 years old this year, it is rare to cry like a child at such a big age. He cried while saying, "Master, I'm here to see you. I'm no longer causing trouble like before. Now I'll follow my lord, don't worry!" It seems that Cui An has a good relationship with his teacher, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. This reminded Ma Chao, who was beside him, also remembered Mr. Cui and his teacher Yan Zhong.

I haven't seen him for about a month with my teacher Yan Zhong, but I haven't seen him for more than five years. Thinking of this, Ma Chao asked Cui An, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, "Fuda, have you ever had any news about Mr. Cui in the past few years?"

When Cui An heard this, he wiped his tears and shook his head at Ma Chao, "No, my father left home more than five years ago, there was no news again." He said, and he looked very sad. It seemed that Cui An missed his father too, Ma Chao thought.

"Okay, don't think too much. The sir will be back sooner or later!" Ma Chao patted Cui An on the shoulder and said.

"No!" Cui An said and bared his teeth at Ma Chao. This was really ugly than crying.

"Fuda, let's go into the city, it's getting late."

"No, lord!" It seems that Cui An would say these few words.

After saying that, the two of them got on the horse and rushed towards Jiuyuan City. When they entered the city, they found a place to stay. This was the case all the way. They entered the city to have a meal and accommodation. When they left the city, they bought dry food for one or two days and were willing to eat it on the road. If they had lost their dry food and had not found a town, they had to go into the mountains to find food.

Cui An is the main force. Although neither Ma Chao nor the others brought a bow and arrow, Cui An could bring back large items every time he entered the mountain, such as deer or wild boar. They ate a lot, while Ma Chao could only bring back hares, pheasants and the like when he entered the mountain.

Cui An complained as soon as he saw this, saying that you wouldn't have to go into the mountains again in the future, and let me go. If you go there once, we can't afford anything. Ma Chao had no choice but to accept it. Who made his skills worse than others?

After staying in Jiuyuan City for two days, Ma Chao did not see any people. After preparing two days of dry food and water, they left Jiuyuan.

Ma Chao has been wandering around Jiuyuan City these two days. Although he has not seen any people, it has to be said that the folk customs of Bingzhou are also quite fierce, especially what he feels in Jiuyuan City.

Perhaps because Wuyuan is the territory of the Xianbei people to the north, if the Xianbei people come to Caogu, Wuyuan County will be the first stop, and Jiuyuan City will not be spared. The people in Jiuyuan gave Ma Chao the feeling that they are even better than those in Longxi, even more so. What kind of environment makes people like what kind of people, otherwise how could they produce a ruthless person like Lu Bu?

Ma Chao left Jiuyuan City with Cui An with emotion and regret. When he was walking to the suburbs, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him, "Catch them quickly, don't let them run away!"
