() Compared with Ma Yue's calmness, Ma Teng still felt a little uneasy and uneasy. He still had doubts about the sincerity of these horse thieves.But only because of his son's performance during this period of time gave him confidence, he finally agreed to let everyone in the group go back to recruit the old department.But as time passed, there was no response from the other party, which made Ma Teng's heart ache slowly, for fear that he would be deceived this time.

You must know that Ma Teng was in charge of the matter of the horse thief. Once they left and never came back, the responsibility would be entirely on him, and Geng Bi would then have enough grounds to punish Ma Teng.So when the time came to the agreed tenth day, Ma Teng was even more restless and kept pacing around the house.

Ma Yue, who had just come out of the martial arts training ground, happened to see his father's uneasy appearance, so he stepped forward and asked, "Father, are you uneasy because of the incident?"

At this time, Ma Teng couldn't care about other things, pulled his son and asked, "Xiao Kang, do you think those horse thieves can really keep their promises? If they don't come back once they go, I'm afraid the government will be bad for my Ma family."

"Father, please relax, my son believes that they will not break their promise!" Ma Yue hurriedly cheered up his father: "Today is the last day of the agreement, they will definitely arrive in time, I have confidence in them. Although these horse thieves do many unrighteous things, they still value this word of trust very much. Since we treat them with sincerity, they will not do things that break their promises!"

"But..." Before Ma Teng could say anything more, a soldier rushed in to report: "Sima, suddenly hundreds of horsemen and horses came outside the city gate. But those people said that they came to submit to the imperial court at the invitation of Sima, and asked Sima to make a decision."

"Huh?" Ma Teng was startled for a moment, and then his face suddenly showed joy, and he looked at Ma Yue: "It seems that I was hit by my words, and those horse thieves have come and returned."

"It should be them. Dad, my boy will go to meet them with you, and then call the elder brother." Ma Yue said hastily.

"Okay, you go and ask Heihu to go to the city gate together." Ma Teng hurried out as he said that, but he looked like he couldn't wait for a moment.This is really because he has been waiting for too long in the past few days, and he just wants to finalize the matter quickly.

Ma Yue smiled, then went back and called Ma Chao out, and on the way to the city gate, he said again: "Brother, after meeting those horse thieves, please do as I want, so that these people can It will come back to us more.”

"Why, do you want to do something else?" Ma Chao couldn't help asking a little strangely.

"Have you forgotten? To save me, you had a good fight with them and injured a lot of their hands. I want you to apologize to them, brother, and remove all this." Ma Yue looked at his elder brother and said apologetically.

"What...what do you mean?" Ma Chao's face darkened immediately, and he was still unhappy about the conflicts that day.Now Ma Yue asked him to apologize to those horse thieves, it was unbearable.

"Brother, just do what I want once, and I'm sure you won't regret it!" For a while, Ma Yue couldn't explain too clearly, so he had to beg his elder brother.

Ma Chao was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Since it's your second brother who said it, then I'll listen to it this time."

"Thank you, brother, for your trust!" Ma Yue was also full of gratitude and guilt, but for the sake of a big event, he had to wrong his brother.But he also firmly believes that after the event, Ma Chao will not regret doing so.

While talking, the two had already arrived at the city gate on horseback, and they saw Ma Teng ordering the soldiers to open the closed city gate.With the sound of grinding teeth, the two solid gates slowly opened under the push and pull of the soldiers, and then the people inside saw the somewhat chaotic cavalry outside.

When he saw the number of people and horses outside, Ma Yue was also taken aback.Because the number of these men and horses is much more than what he estimated, there are a full six hundred riders

"This..." Ma Yue was making calculations in his heart, and didn't know whether he should meet him or not.But at this time, a big man rushed out from among the knights over there, and came straight towards Ma Yue: "Mr. Ma, I, Wang Feng, came in time and did not disappoint you!" It was Wang Feng, the leader of Yiwofeng. .

Seeing him, the suspicion in Ma Yue's heart dissipated. Immediately, he patted his horse and stepped forward, smiling: "Brother Wang is indeed a believer. He said that he would bring people back within ten days, and he came. However, these brothers only I'm afraid it's not all your gang?"

"Mr. Ma's eyes are like a torch. It is indeed as you said. We don't have so many good brothers in Yiwufeng. These people are all doing business with no capital in our Liangzhou territory. They came to join you because of your loyalty, my lord. .” Wang Feng laughed haha.

After hearing this, Ma Yue was overjoyed.I really didn't expect that it would be so easy to recruit people in this era.But after thinking about it again, he was relieved, Wang Feng must have played a role in this, and with their status among the horse thieves in Liangzhou, once he spoke, many people would follow him.This is enough to show that the decision I made before is very correct, otherwise how can there be so many people who are willing to work for me?

Ma Yue's inference was not wrong, these people were indeed invited by Wang Feng to join the court.It was only because Wang Feng felt that it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the army when he surrendered all the way to the imperial court, so he thought of bringing more people together. You can get back in six days.And these people are willing to do this, in addition to the great reputation of Yiwofeng among the same people, what is more important is the situation in Liangzhou at this time. The current situation has no room for them to fight on their own.

Seeing this scene, Ma Teng felt even more joyful, and hurried up to greet the horse thieves to enter the city.Most of these horse thieves were still nervous at first, but after seeing Wang Feng and Ma Yue being so affectionate, and Ma Teng, who was dressed in an officer's uniform, acting like this, his heart relaxed a little, and he hurriedly got off his horse, honestly Enter the city in a single file.

At this time, Li Xiangru and Geng Bi, who had heard the news, had just arrived. When they saw this scene, they both had strange expressions on their faces.They could tell that although these hundreds of horse thieves had returned to the court, they were under Ma Teng's subordinates.However, it was not easy for them to say this publicly, so they had to forcefully smile, representing the Liangzhou government to recruit these horse thieves who were causing trouble for a while.

When all the horse thieves changed their messy clothes and changed into the official uniform, Ma Yue pulled his elder brother over and said, "Brother Wang, there is something that my elder brother and I still have to clarify with you. Due to some misunderstandings that day, it caused My brother got into a fight with my brother, and he injured many people, so I'm here to apologize to you this time."

The people in Yiwofeng were surprised when they heard this, and what surprised them even more was that Ma Chao, a strong man who could defeat a hundred opponents that day, put down his figure this time, bowed his hands to them, and apologized again and again: "In the past few days, I hurt a lot of brothers in a nest of Feng by mistake, and I hope you can forgive me!"

This kind of performance was beyond everyone's expectation. Even the other horse thieves were also full of astonishment. At the same time, they also had a different feeling in their hearts. When they saw the Ma brothers, they became more intimate and respectful. .People in this era value personal integrity and dignity the most. It is really rare for a person to be able to speak like this.

And this naturally moved the people in Yiwofeng deeply.They still had pimples in their hearts. After all, Ma Chao killed many brothers that day, and most of them were wary of him.But today, once the Ma brothers made their words clear, they didn't know how to behave.

It was Guo Sihuai who reacted the quickest. He quickly said, "I can't bear the words of the two Mr. Ma! We people used to live the business of licking blood with knives. We have prepared for those things. Being suppressed and killed by the army, Mr. Ma was only eager to save people, so it is not wrong. It is us who should apologize to you, Mr. Ma."

Following his words, a group of talented people saluted Ma Chao and Ma Yue one after another, and with this conversation, the conflict and conflict between the two parties also dissipated.And this is exactly the effect that Ma Yue hopes to see. Although the people who have a lot of wind have a heart of surrender before, many people must still hide their previous festivals and hatred in their hearts.And these, it is impossible to show it now and when nothing happens, but the harm will always exist, and it will explode at the most fatal moment.In order not to cause major problems in the future, Ma Yue decided to reveal and expose the fault at the very beginning.Now, everything happened as he expected, and the horse thieves finally let go of their hatred, and they could concentrate on interacting with themselves and others.

Ma Chao also felt the usefulness of this proactive apology, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared. He looked at his younger brother with more admiration in his eyes. Compared with himself, his younger brother Ma Yue was more stable and mature. The problem is also more profound.

Afterwards, Ma Teng held a banquet in the restaurant in the city, and invited Yiwofeng and the other leaders of the horse thieves to drink the wine of the reunion, thinking that they would wash away the dust for them.And just when the wine was in full swing, a horse thief leader named Tian Chong revealed a piece of news that shocked both Ma Teng and Ma Yue: "The power of the Qiang people has grown stronger and stronger. All the land in the prefecture and county has been occupied, and the officers and troops have been defeated and scattered. Even us horse thieves have to find another place. I'm afraid that the power of these Qiang people will not be satisfied with this, and they will soon direct their troops to Longxi. .”
