Chapter 1318 Han Long?

After the discussion, Ma Chao took his wife, concubine and children on the road to his hometown, Fufeng Maoling, in a simple blue oil-painted cart.Accompanying him along the way were Ma Dai, who had become the prefect of Xiongnu County, and Ma Xiu, who had joined the Ma family army.The youngest Ma Tie and Ma Yunlu sat in the same car with Aunt Liu.

Since entering Chang'an, this is the first time Ma Chao has returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

People in China believe in ancestors. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, tomb sacrifices have become an indispensable etiquette and custom.However, this time offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Ma Chao's mood was different from his previous life.What he said in his previous life was too much, he mostly seemed to be performing official duties.But the longer he stayed in this time and space, the more he respected the etiquette of the ancients.

Especially this time may be a critical period when the war of unification of the world is imminent, so his mood is a little more disturbed and solemn.The life of Wanqian Erlang and the well-being of Li Shu of the fourteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty were all in his mind. Such a heavy responsibility made him feel heavy.

For a long time, Ma Chao has not felt the significance of his coming to this era.But as his strength grew, and now that he had begun to think about conquering the world, he gradually felt more about the heaviness of taking the world as his own responsibility.At this moment, he still doesn't know whether he can proudly say to the ancestors of the Ma family a few days later: "I have come, bringing progress, light, happiness and stability to this era...

Yes, he admitted that he brought many crops, technologies, and advanced concepts that did not belong to this era to this time and space.But at the same time, the price of his step-by-step rise has been built on the deterrence of massacres many times-the title of General Tianweishen sounds mighty, but the price behind it is made up of countless bones. Forged.

During the Qingming Festival, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful.The long weeping willow branches flutter in the breeze, like the soft and long hair of a girl.Birds of various colors shuttled between the willow branches, and their crisp chirping sounds spread across the mountains and fields.From time to time, there are thin raindrops drifting by, as dense as the sorrow of separation.From time to time, there is a faint smoke rising from the countryside, which means that the ancestor worshipers are offering their hearts to the dead.

Looking at the scenery outside the car, Cai Yan seemed to feel Ma Chao's thoughts, and quietly put her cool little hand in his palm.Liu Yue no longer had the half arrogance of a big Han princess, she caressed Ma Chao's other hand.Diao Chan, Fu Shou, Han Ying, and Lu Qiling either looked at Ma Chao silently, or pretended to look out the window but actually observed Ma Chao from the corner of their eyes.There was not a single word in the car, just quietly appreciating the peace and tranquility of this moment.

Unfortunately, it seems that Ma Chao is destined not to enjoy this kind of happiness.At this moment when he was away from the turmoil of the battlefield and the political vortex, and only went back to his hometown with his family to worship his ancestors, something still disturbed his tranquility.

The sound of horseshoes rang back and forth outside the window, and Ma Chao opened his slightly narrowed eyes.He recognized that it was the sound of a person on horseback wandering back and forth outside the window, and then he closed his eyes slightly, without even looking out of the window, and said directly: "Brother Xiu, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Brother," said the 16-year-old Matthew, who was as powerful as Ma Teng when he was young, with a generous face and a strong physique.After seeing Fushou lift up the car curtain for him thoughtfully, Fangzheng smiled shyly with gratitude on his big face.Then he asked Ma Chao with some urgency: "Brother, why don't you let me go to Jingzhou to fight Sun Ce?"

"No reason," Ma Chao replied very simply, and the stern demeanor of the head of the family immediately frightened Ma Xiu: "When you go to Jingzhou, it is almost time to send troops here in Chang'an. If you are really bored, why not send troops now?" I drive horses and carts."

Ma Xiu was discouraged at first when he heard the words, but then he heard Ma Chao say that Chang'an would send troops soon, and he obviously intended to let him participate in the war.Immediately, he became irritable, and immediately got off the horse and drove the original coachman off, and he himself picked up the whip to drive the cart.Ma Dai looked at him and shook his head, as if he had a childlike innocence, he also jumped off the horse and rode with Ma Xiu, making Aunt Liu, Ma Tie, and Ma Yunlu behind him laugh endlessly.

"Mother, I'm also going to drive the carriage of the eldest brother!" Ma Yunlu put down the curtain of the carriage, and wanted to jump out immediately, regardless of the carriage was still moving.

"Girls, what do they look like!" Aunt Liu's eyebrows twitched, scaring Ma Yunlu into peace.

Ma Yunlu was extremely favored among her elder brothers, but she was afraid of her own mother, so she immediately muttered in dissatisfaction: "Why can Brother Dai and Brother Xiu be able to do it, but I can't?..."

"Don't talk too much!" Aunt Liu didn't explain at all. She and Ma Teng had already seen through a lot of things: "You brother Hugh is a nonsense, and Daier is a calm person. How can you really drive your elder brother?"

Sure enough, as soon as Ma Dai got into the carriage, Ma Chao in the carriage asked, "Brother Dai, I want you to find that Han Long, how is the news now?"

Ma Chao said that this Han Long did not leave a name in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at all, but he was well-known in history.Han Long's life and appearance are unknown, and even Ma Chao doubts whether even this name is fake.He is like a ghost, floating in the desolate world of the Han Dynasty, occasionally glimpsed, it is a legend.

And that legend is related to Xianbei Ke Bineng. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records that in the third year of Qinglong, Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou, sent the warrior Han Long to assassinate Ke Bineng and make his younger brother.Afterwards, Ke Bineng separated the various tribes.invade each other.The strong run away, the weak please submit, and the frontier is safe...

Now that the unification of the world is imminent, it is impossible for Ma Chao to let the unstable factor of Xianbei Kebineng exist.Especially after listening to Zhang Liao and Tian Yu's explanation to Xianbei, the only way he could think of was to assassinate Ke Bineng quietly!
The reason why he had to find Han Long instead of the three top assassins Wang Yue, Tong Yuan, and Shi A.Firstly, it was because these three were already indispensable instructors in the shadows, and secondly, Gan Ning's killing of Ling Cao during the First World War in Jiangdong touched Ma Chao to a certain extent.

Historically, Ling Cao was killed by Gan Ning, which caused Ling Cao's son Ling Tong and Gan Ning, who had surrendered to Soochow, to be at odds with each other.After being reconciled by Sun Quan, Ling Tong got rid of his hatred of killing his father, and shook hands with Gan Ning to make peace.Today's Ma Chao is also planning to take the old path of history and order Han Long to assassinate Ke Bineng.Although it is a bit superstitious to do so, who can say that this kind of thing is not destined?

"Brother, there is still no news about this matter." Ma Dai sighed, and then couldn't help but turned around and asked, "How can you tell that the warrior is in the Huns?"

Ma Chao shook his head, but did not answer.The reason why Ma Dai was asked to visit the Xiongnu was because Ma Chao remembered that the history books said that Han Long had been a slave in the Huns, and he knew nothing about the rest.Based on this alone, asking Ma Dai to find a Han Chinese slave on the vast grassland is indeed like looking for a needle in a haystack...

"Forget it, since you can't find it, let's forget it." Ma Chao sighed, and was about to discuss with Diao Chan who would be responsible for the assassination, but seeing Diao Chan's eyes were fixed, thoughtful, Ma Chao couldn't help but asked with concern: "Cicada Son, what's the matter with you?"

"Husband, this Han Long was a slave to the Huns, and he was almost skinned and executed by the Huns. After he escaped his life by chance, did he seek out a famous teacher to learn martial arts?"

"What? You know this person?" Ma Chao was a little startled, but considering that Diao Chan's subordinates are all over the world, and his hands and eyes are open to the sky, it is very possible to know this news.

"Husband, you are looking for fish from a tree, so naturally you can't find that Han Long." Seeing Ma Chao admitting this, Diao Chan couldn't help but smile, making the whole carriage glow: "Not only do I know that person, but you also know him, my lord. And , he has already organized several major events for the Lord..."

At this time, no matter how stupid Ma Chao was, he understood what Diao Chan meant.He listened leisurely to the sound of drizzle hitting the oil-painted cart, and to the sound of Matthew waving his whip and gently yelling at the horses, and slowly said: "It turned out to be him... I didn't expect that the shadow army Among them, everyone has an unspeakable tragic past."

How many heroes have been annihilated in history sometimes, and why are there only endless legends left behind?
