Chapter 31 Face

After sending Cao Chong away, Ma Teng looked at Ma Chao who was covering his chest with a silence, and said with a sneer: "Why didn't you say you were injured in the end?"

"I..." Ma Chao was almost angry and vomited blood in his chest. He told me to admit that he was injured by that kid, so he might as well cut his neck directly with a knife.

"The courage of every man!" Ma Teng cursed angrily. He angrily turned around the room a few times, spread his legs and sat down, waved to the panicked Ma Xiu and Ma Tie brothers next to him: "You guys go out!"

Ma Xiu, Ma Tie didn't know why his father suddenly got so angry. He looked at him and lowered his head to go out. Ma Teng looked at Ma Chao with a depressed look and said, "Why don't you pick that Xu Yi? He is the son of a tiger crazy and a man who has been through the battlefield for a long time. It's not an exaggeration to lose to his subordinates. Wouldn't it be better to let him hurt you?"

"Father..." Ma Chao replied hesitantly.

"Needless to say, I know why you are." Ma Teng waved his hand angrily: "You are the number one general in Guanzhong and the general of the heavens mentioned by the Qiang people. Of course, you can't lose to a guard. You want face, but do you want this face? You have to hold on with such a good opportunity. Do you really want to go to Yecheng? Don't you know that when you arrive in Yecheng, my Ma family army will have to listen to Cao Cao's orders from now on."

"Father, we can't go. Cao Cao wants to go to Jingzhou. Now we can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. When his soldiers in Jingzhou have been ineffective for a long time, we will take advantage of the situation and take straight to Xu County. After robbing the emperor and returning to Guanzhong, my father can do it..."

Before Ma Chao finished speaking, Ma Teng rose up in anger and waved his hand and slapped: "Where do we get the strength of the uprising army? Cao Cao wanted to conquer Jingzhou, but why didn't he send troops after he had prepared for so long? Isn't he just caring about us? There is Zhong Yao nearby and his army of more than 100,000 far away. Do you think if we don't give in, he will keep us in Jingzhou with confidence? The army of more than 100,000 is prepared for us. What resistance should we do? Just rely on the tens of thousands of people under our command?"

"Father!" Ma Chao shouted with his face covering his face: "We have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, hundreds of thousands of Qiang people, and Uncle Han, why can't we fight against him? What's the point of being afraid of Cao Aman? He is also a human being, not a god."

"Uncle Han?" Ma Teng glared at his eyes, his beard was angry, pointing his finger at Ma Chao, and he couldn't speak for a moment. He hesitated a little. Otherwise, send this disobedient son to Yecheng. Perhaps it would be a good thing for his Ma family. When Cao Cao conquered the world, he would also like Dou Rong to offer Hexi, and return the troops to be a rich man. Work with Han Sui? It would be better to surrender to Cao Cao.

"Get out, either you will get seriously ill tomorrow, or you will follow Cao to Yecheng." Ma Teng kicked Ma Chao in anger. Ma Chao had no choice but to get up and retreat.

Ma Teng was so angry that he gasped, his chest was undulating, and his eyes were bloodshot. He picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip, but found it was cold. He was so angry that he ate the cup on the table. The tea cup immediately cracked into several pieces. The tea wine poured his hand, and a piece of fragments cut his hand, and bright red blood flowed out.

"Father--" A middle-aged woman just walked in with sobering soup. She was startled by the loud noise. She saw blood flowing from Ma Teng's hands. She was so scared that she quickly put down the tray and grabbed Ma Teng's hand to check.

"Yunlu, when did you come back?" Ma Teng exclaimed strangely.

Seeing that Ma Teng's hand was not seriously injured, Ma Yunlu felt relieved and brought him a cloth to wrap it. She replied while wrapping it: "I heard that the Chaoting sent someone to come back and take a look."

"What do you think of?" Ma Teng slowly calmed down, looked at Ma Yunlu's wrapped hands, and asked slowly.

Ma Yunlu thought for a while and said, "Does my father think my elder brother will live in Yecheng?"

Ma Teng smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. Of course he knew what Ma Chao's personality was. With his temper, how could he live in Yecheng? Do you think Yecheng is so stupid? Zhang Xiu was so well-behaved that he died for no reason. When he arrived in Yecheng, he would be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and he could not help but live or die.

"Since my father also knows the elder brother's temper, wouldn't it be a dead end to send him to Yecheng?" Ma Yunlu brought the sobering soup to Ma Teng's hands and said in Ma Teng's eyes.

"What do you think you should do? We are not Cao Cao's opponents, let alone that old thief in Jincheng." Ma Teng closed his eyes with difficulty.

Ma Yunlu pursed her lips and smiled, "No need to hold on. My father can drag it. If you don't say no, you don't want to go, don't say no, you will go. Isn't the elder brother hurt? I said that he was originally asked to go, but he won't be able to go there for a while. I asked them to wait for ten days and a half months, and then I will find some excuses when the time comes, such as Zhang Baiqi comes out again, or the Qiang people are in chaos, or the Xianbei people are coming again, isn't my father's final decision about the matter here?"

Ma Teng thought for a moment, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Ma Yunlu with some regret and said, "It's a pity that you are a woman. If your elder brother had half of your mind, I wouldn't be so embarrassed."

Ma Yunlu shook her head and said, "Father, my elder brother has made countless contributions in his father's account over the years. How could he be lucky? It's just that his father has too high demands on him, so he is always dissatisfied."

"Oh--" Ma Teng sighed long and said nothing.

"Young Master, I think that although Ma Mengqi is rude, I don't challenge him on the spot. I'm afraid there is a premeditation first." Zhou Buyi said: "I suspect this is a delaying strategy used by the veteran General Ma, but I just don't want Ma Mengqi to go."

When Xiahou heard this, he couldn't help but blush: "Yuanzhi, am I a little reckless today?"

Zhou Buyi shook his hand and said, "He jumped out to challenge him. He wanted to get injured and find an excuse to delay time. Even if you don't hurt him, he would be injured on purpose. It's just that Ma Mengqi is too competitive and refuses to admit it in front of everyone. There will definitely be someone who says he is seriously injured."

Cao Chong frowned a little, and he was also a little surprised. After all, Ma Chao was one of the Five Tiger Generals in Shu later. How could he be so shameless? At that time, so many people challenged him, a thirteen-year-old child. It turned out that there was this problem. At that time, he was just concerned about the pleasure and did not remind Xiahou to show mercy. However, who would have thought that the famous Jinma Chao could not beat Xiahou to one punch and one kick.

"What do you think about Mr. Derong?" Cao Chong said to Zhang Ji, who looked calm.

"Young master, don't worry. Although Ma Teng used tricks, he was not strong enough. Let's wait for two more days and I will persuade him again, believing that he will know the importance of it." Zhang Ji said with a smile.

Cao Chong responded. He couldn't think of too many ideas for a moment, and it seemed that he had to do so. Wait a few more days, would he stay every day? Or should he look at the scenery of the desert?

"Or why don't we go west?" Cao Chong suddenly laughed.

"Young Master Gao Ming, it's better to remove the firewood from the bottom of a cauldron than to lift the soup." Zhou Buyi smiled softly, as if he had expected Cao Chong to say this long ago.

Cao Chong didn't understand for a moment. He glanced at Zhou Buyi, suddenly understood, and then smiled with a pretentious smile, turned his head and smiled at Zhang Ji, "I'll leave it to Mr. Derong. Let's go west for a few. Maybe when we come back, the gentleman had already convinced Ma Teng."

Zhang Ji also smiled: "Don't worry, young master, I don't need to say anything at that time, he is afraid he will be convinced."
