Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1281 The Great Commander of the Divine Guard

The new year is joy.

But for some, it's a bit of a struggle.

For example, Ma Chao.

Ma Chao got Mu Jing's edict, abandoned the Longxi Army, and handed over the entire Longxi Army to Pang De. He really came to Chongqing to report his duties alone.

But when he came to Yudu, he was left alone by Mujing.

He has been at the station.

A month passed, but Mujing just didn't see him, and every time he handed over a book to see him, he was returned, and the days passed by, as if he was someone who was abandoned at the post station.

During this period of time, it was very tormented.

He even wanted to give up and go back to Xiliang directly.

He had thought that someone should be watching him.

But it didn't.

He tried to go out of the city again, and even walked hundreds of miles to the suburbs, but he still didn't find anyone who followed or intercepted him.

Then he came back obediently.

Xiliang fought every year and was poor every year. They were not very keen on the customs of New Year's Eve and welcoming the new year. At that time, even a wealthy family like the Ma family had a hard time. Who would care about the New Year's festival.

In Yudu, the New Year atmosphere is strong, festive everywhere, red lanterns, streets and alleys, and even children in new clothes can be seen playing around.

This kind of atmosphere was never seen in Xiliang.

But Ma Chao felt out of place. He seemed to be alone and couldn't get into such an atmosphere.

He still waited at the station with peace of mind.

You can't wait.

After taking this step, he has no escape route at all, and he doesn't want to become a double-faced person like Lu Bu, so he can only endure now.

He didn't even know what he'd done wrong here.

I thought that he gave up his military power and entered Yudu, and he should be valued by Mu Jing, but now he doesn't know which link went wrong, the military power was let go, but the person did not disappear.

Is it possible that the bridge will be demolished by crossing the river?
He dared not think.

But he won't just sit and wait for death. One day, he will bring more than ten personal guards under his command to kill a bloody river. Even if he wants to die in battle, he will leave a trace.

So these days, he didn't know what to do in the inn. He practiced martial arts diligently and concentrated. His martial arts improved by leaps and bounds. If it was a fight with his life, he was confident that he could fight Huang Zhong.

The Nanyang sword king who claims to be among the top three martial arts in the world and the most famous.

Wen has no first, Wu has no second.

In today's world, there is not one person who is the strongest in martial arts, but two people. One is the invincible Lv Bu. Ma Chao has felt how strong Lv Bu is, but he has never fought against him.

The other one is Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong's record is even worse than that of Lu Bu.

Therefore, the world ranks the two of them as the first rank of military generals. There is no positive confrontation between them, so there is no victory or defeat to speak of.

Some people expected them to have a fight.

"Brother!"

The little girl walked in bouncing.

"Yun Lu, you went out again!" Ma Chao sullenly.

"Yes!"

The little girl said with a smile: "Let me tell you, this city of Yudu is too lively, you can buy everything, it's fun!"

"Just know how to play!" Ma Chao threw the gun to the soldiers next to him, and wiped the sweat off his body with a towel: "This is Yudu, not our Longxi, if something goes wrong, how will my brother protect you, and you will not be allowed to go out in the future !"

He went south alone, and he brought a dozen of his personal guards with him. The biggest confidant general, Ma Dai, was left to Pang De. In addition, he brought the only relative he considered, Ma Jiayunlu.

"I don't want to!"

The little girl pouted, biting a piece of cake. She liked the sweet taste very much, and said stubbornly: "What's wrong with Yudu? After so many days, I think it's quite safe here, unlike our Longxi. If you don't agree, draw the knife!"

Yudu is indeed not Longxi.

Longxi is located in Xiliang, where it lives mixed with the Qiang people and the Huns, and there are many people from other races, and its own folk customs are relatively tough. Even in the streets and alleys, there are countless people who directly draw their swords to fight against each other if they don't agree with each other.

And Yudu.

This is the city ruled by the Minghou Mansion, and it is also the loyalty of the Southwest. Public order is very important. Mu Jing has emphasized countless times that the Six Doors have organized a severe crackdown many times. Not to mention those rangers, even ordinary rogues will be beaten. A large number.

This has led to a very good law and order in Yudu.

Although it is not to the point of not closing the door at night and not picking up things, but compared to the outside, even the big cities in the Central Plains, I don’t know how many times better.

The force of the six doors is much more useful than that of the county soldiers.

"Nowadays we are dependent on others, so we still have to be careful in everything. You are restless by nature. If you cause trouble, my brother may not be able to protect you in time!" Ma Chao said with a bit of grief and indignation.

Giving up military power was a choice for him, and he thought he had done nothing wrong, but what happened in Yudu made him doubt himself.

Without the military power, he would be able to protect anyone, even himself would be a mud bodhisattva. Otherwise, with his personality growing up in Xiliang, he wouldn't be so cautious.

"Brother, hasn't Marquis Ming summoned you yet?" Ma Yunlu asked in a low voice.

"Maybe he has forgotten about me. He took away the Longxi Army, and I am a little insignificant!" Ma Chao laughed at himself.

"how come?"

Ma Yunlu said loudly: "My elder brother is brave enough to win the three armies, and Wu can conquer thousands of armies. If he is such a talented person, if he doesn't even look up to him, he will be blind. Why should we defect to such a person? At worst, leave!"

"Be careful!"

Ma Chao looked around, although he believed that no one could hide his aura from approaching, he still had to be careful, he had seen Jing Wusi's ability before.

"It is indeed time to be cautious, many disasters come from the mouth!"

At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded.

"who?"

Ma Chao felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, his pupils dilated, his breath exploded, and his whole body was highly concentrated.

"The Zhaoming Pavilion of the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty is involved in politics, the Beiwutang is in charge, and the Military Law Department is in charge. Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng!"

A burly figure walked in step by step from the gate of the courtyard.

"Nanyang Sword King?"

Ma Chao did not expect to meet Huang Zhong in such a situation. He looked into Huang Zhong's eyes as sharp as a knife, ready to fight.

"The breath is good!"

Huang Zhong grinned, glanced at Ma Chao, and said, "Unfortunately, it's still a bit short!"

He suddenly turned aside, and the elegant scholarly temperament disappeared, like a tiger that devoured people, opened its fangs, and the powerful aura rushed towards Ma Chao, full of powerful murderous aura.

At his level of martial arts, he has initially touched the edge of the somewhat mysterious broken void. The spirit, energy, and spirit can already be integrated, and the spirit and energy can be condensed. If you encounter some people with weaker spirits, you can suppress them from the air.

Even one person can suppress an army.

"too horrible!"

Ma Chao's back is like water, but he always stands in front of Ma Yunlu, his unruly eyes show no fear, but awe-inspiring fighting spirit, and his tall and straight spine is not overwhelmed.

But there is one thing, Huang Zhong's horror, he can be regarded as appreciative, even if there is no real fight, just the breath of this moment, he can feel a feeling of falling.

"Somewhat capable!" Huang Zhong held his breath, regained the feeling of being harmless to humans and animals for a moment, and said lightly: "Unfortunately, if you were born ten years earlier, you would be qualified to discuss martial arts with someone!"

It just means that you are not qualified yet.

Although Huang Zhong is not an arrogant person, but having achieved this level, he is qualified to comment on the world's generals as a warrior.

"It won't take ten years, but in three years, I will be able to fight you!" Ma Chao said proudly.

He felt Huang Zhong's strength.

No need to shoot, he knew that he was not an opponent.

But he was not decadent.

It's that the fighting spirit is more victorious, and he is confident that he can surpass Huang Zhong's.

"Then you have to hurry up!" Huang Zhong sighed: "A beauty is easy to grow old, a hero is old, I will gradually go downhill, and I will never return to my peak!"

Time is the butcher's knife, stronger than Huang Zhong, and after reaching the peak, he will feel that his state will gradually decline.

Although he has such a history, he is six or seventy years old, and he can still fight Guan Erye.

But can't confirm.

Moreover, he knew his own affairs. In two or three years, he would still be able to fight Lu Bu, but with time on the field, he might not be Lu Bu's opponent.

Lu Bu is younger than himself, and the peak time will be longer, but he, the peak state, cannot last for many years.

"I will!"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth. He firmly believed that he could fight against Huang Zhong when he was at his peak. This is the confidence of a general. He didn't bother to defeat Huang Zhong who was not in good condition.

"My lord is going to see you, you should be ready!"

Huang Zhong came today to summon Ma Chao.

As for why he came in person, he didn't know this, he just followed orders.

"Now?" Ma Chao had been looking forward to it for a long time, but at this moment he felt a little nervous.

"Yes, now!"

Huang Zhongdao: "The first time after the new year's rest, the lord issued the first edict, see you!"

"Changing into a robe, I will immediately follow you to see Marquis Ming!"

For this meeting, Ma Chao also had a little guess in his heart, that would determine his future destiny, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Ma Chao changed into a long robe, put down all his weapons, including the saber, and did not take his personal guards with him, so he followed Huang Zhong to see Mujing alone.

"Little girl, be careful what you say in the future, Minghou has never been blind!"

When Huang Zhong went out, he couldn't help but say something to Ma Yunlu.

He has been with Mujing for a long time.

Few people can match his loyalty to Mujing. In his heart, Mujing is a good lord with lofty aspirations and caring for the people, a lord who is worthy of his support for the rest of his life, and cannot be slandered by others.

Ma Yunlu's girlish nature does not have a lot of awe and fear, but sticks out her little tongue, as if she is a girl who has done something wrong.

…………

Ma Chao followed Huang Zhong into the Minghou Mansion.

It was the first time for him to come to Minghou Mansion. Minghou Mansion now rules the entire west, with territories in the south, west and northwest. How many people secretly call it the West Dynasty, but the center of the huge West Dynasty is actually such a simple place. It's not as good as a prefect's mansion.

The Minghou Mansion moved to the south too quickly, so it is not spacious, and it is a bit shabby, and even many government offices are built outside the mansion, which is naturally looked down upon by others.

Although the construction of the new mansion has already begun, the new mansion has not yet been completed, so they can only live here temporarily, and they are unwilling to spend more to make changes in this area.

Turn around a few long corridors and directly enter Zhaoming Pavilion.

In the lobby, there was a bit of silence.

After taking a bath, the first day started to work. Although there were quite a few civil servants in Zhaoming Pavilion, most of them were busy sorting out the documents accumulated in their hands at this moment, and no one had time to receive them.

The lobby is for discussions, Mujing's official office is behind the hall, in a spacious wing.

"My lord, Ma Chao has brought it!"

Huang Zhong bowed his hands and stood by.

"Ok!"

Mu Jing looked up, put down the pen in his hand, smiled, and said: "You are not slow, you two are generals, don't you want to compete?"

"He's almost there!" Huang Zhong said frankly, "Only when the strength is evenly matched does he have the will to fight!"

Hearing this, Ma Chao gritted his teeth, and suddenly there was a flame in his heart. One day, when he wanted to fight Huang Zhong, he had to let him know what it meant to be evenly matched.

"Don't be so blunt!" Mu Jing was not surprised. The current Ma Chao is obviously not old enough to let Huang Zhong make a move. Huang Zhong's martial arts is the best in the world: "Be patient with the younger generation." !"

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong nodded.

"Ma Mengqi?" Mu Jing's eyes began to look at Ma Chao head-on at this time. This Ma Chao was more handsome than he imagined. Didn't it mean that Xiliang are all rough people? Why is there such a handsome young man? , is also a Qiang-Han mixed blood, mixed with genes between the two races, handsome and distinctive, if placed in my own era, not only a little fresh meat, but also a good candidate for playing a tough guy.

"Longxi Ma Chao, meet the lord!"

Ma Chao saluted calmly.

"Sit down!" Mu Jing put down the brush in his hand, walked over from behind the table, walked to the front seat, and then knelt down on the bamboo mat.

"promise!"

Ma Chao sat opposite, feeling a little uneasy.

"My lord, then I will leave first!" Huang Zhong wanted to withdraw.

"Stand!" Mu Jing said indifferently: "On the third day of the Lunar New Year, win me [-] yuan, it's so easy to get by!"

"My lord, don't take such public revenge!"

"I'm sorry, my lord, I'm too narrow-minded!" Mu Jing curled his lips, avenging his personal revenge unfairly, it was just a scene, and if he won his money, he would find his place no matter what, and he won't lose if he loses.

Huang Zhong had no choice but to sullen his face, standing by the side like a doorman.

Ma Chao was a little surprised by the interaction between the two. Logically speaking, the main character should not be the one who shows the most wise, powerful, benevolent and unparalleled side of each other. Why did he show him such a real main character?

"Ma Chao, can you taste tea?" Mu Jing asked.

"will not!"

Ma Chao said, "I know how to drink!"

"Then have a drink!"

Mu Jing clapped his hands, and two jars of wine were brought in from outside.

"Use a bowl or use a cup!"

"The subordinates used to be direct counterparts!" Ma Chao's wildness was vividly expressed at this moment.

"People from Xiliang are tough!"

Mujing raised his finger: "Stew a mouthful and show me!"

"Come on, let's drink more, why should a certain family be afraid of the world!" Ma Chao patted the wine jar, and the smell of wine rushed to his face. He had never smelled such a mellow wine scent, and the wine worms on his body were about to come out Yes, just swallowed it down.

"call!"

But after taking a sip, he felt like his whole body was on fire. He couldn't continue talking, and he let out a long mouthful of alcohol.

"You idiot, this is strong alcohol. It is used as alcohol in the military. Who dares to be bored!"

Huang Zhong stood by and prayed for Ma Chao.

Distilled wine, in the whole world, only the Mu family has it.

However, wine consumes food, so we don't make more of it on weekdays, and try to reduce the trading as much as possible. After all, food is more important nowadays.

However, there is never a shortage of alcohol in the army, which is a good product for disinfection.

This kind of spirits is not only expensive, but also has a price but no market. It can only be drunk here in Mujing, and it is rare even in their families who are involved in politics.

And even for a person like Huang Zhong who can drink alcohol, I have never seen anyone who wants to simmer alcohol in cups and sips of alcohol.
