Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 513 Ma Dai of the Ma Family
"We have to go west, so we need to stagger the time, and you need to report to the lord immediately after Xudu has finished the matter so that you can prepare."

Although Deng Ai was a little reluctant, he still obeyed Duanmuling's arrangement. "Brother Duanmu should also be careful. I have always wondered that Ma Teng and Ma Chao and his son may not be in harmony, while Ma Teng is fighting with Han Sui, and Ma Chao and Han Sui may not have much hatred."

"I've also thought of this. Ma Chao will be somewhat unwilling to become the eldest son of the concubine. I will stay for a day or two to inquire about Ma Chao and Han Sui's situation."

After Deng Ai left, Duanmuling began to collect information on Ma Chao in Chang'an City. Because Ma Chao was stationed in Huaili not far from Chang'an, he or his subordinates often came to Chang'an, so he quickly collected a lot of information.

Ma Teng's father's name was Ma Ping, who had served as Lan Ganwei. He married two sons, Ma Teng and Ma Yue, both Qiang girls. Ma Teng had a son Ma Chao and a daughter Ma Yunlu; Ma Yue had a son Ma Dai.Ma Yue died early, and Ma Dai was raised by Ma Teng, and had a very good relationship with Ma Chao.Ma Chao is 33 years old. He is used to wearing brocade clothes, riding a white horse, and holding a silver gun. He is known as Ma Chao in brocade clothes.He is courageous, brave, and murderous. He enjoys a great reputation in Qianghu and is honored as General Shenweitian.In addition to being proficient in spears and horses, Ma Chao has outstanding swordsmanship and is said to be as fast as lightning.Ma Chao's general, Pang De, was second only to Ma Chao in bravery, and once beheaded the high-ranking general Guo Yuan.

There is much less information about Han Sui. Han Sui's original name was Han Yue, and he was originally under Yin Hua, the prefect of Jincheng.But Han Sui's resume can be described as legendary. He attached many masters during the battle in Liangzhou, but all of them died in the war with other forces without exception, but Han Sui's power is getting bigger and bigger.Han Sui's general, Cheng Gong, is both brave and wise, and his son-in-law, Yan Xingshan, is called a double hero with Ma Chao.

Duanmu Ling bared his teeth, Ma Chao might be easier to deal with in comparison, but Han Sui is definitely old and cunning. From his experience, it can be seen that Han Sui is good at forming alliances with them and profiting in the cracks, that is to say, he is good at grasping Pulse, seize the opportunity, in other words, Han Sui is good at protecting himself, when it is time to strike, his relatives will not recognize him, relying not on faith but on interests.

Duanmuling, who has always been unlucky, also came to luck sometimes. Just as he and Mudong left the inn, they heard noises from the market.

Duanmu Ling and Mu Dong led the horses and mixed in the crowd, asking the spectators what happened.

"You are from out of town. You see those people, the leader is Ma Dai, Ma Teng's nephew, and he may have come to the city to make purchases again. That group of merchants is also from out of town, and they are going to Fufeng. Look It seems that Ma Dai thought that they brought too little goods and asked them to transport all of them to Fufeng, and said that money was not a problem, but the merchants said they had other uses, so they could not give them all to Ma Dai.” After receiving After a large handful of copper coins, the idlers seemed particularly enthusiastic.

Zhengchou didn't have anyone to recommend, but unexpectedly came to his door.Duanmuling took out the bronze medal and hung it on his waist, pushed aside the crowd and went to the middle of the crowd and bowed his hands to Ma Dai: "This brother invites you, I'm Mu Ling from Liaodong."

Ma Dai was stunned: "I don't know what advice Brother Mu has?"

"There are too many people here and it's not a place to talk. Can you come and find a restaurant with me?"

"Didn't you see that I have something to do here?" Ma Dai was displeased and glared at Duanmuling. If it wasn't for Duanmuling's luxurious clothes and his appearance as a son of a rich family, Ma Dai might scold him.

"It's easy to talk about." Duanmu Ling walked up to the caravan steward, "Can this brother join us?"

The steward shook his head and was about to refuse, when he saw a person next to him carefully look at Duanmu Ling and whispered something in his ear, the steward changed his words: "That's fine."

Duan Muling waved his hand, "It's all right, let's go." Seeing that there was nothing to see, the spectators dispersed one after another.Duanmu Ling and the two entered a wine shop by the road, while Mu Dong and Ma Dai's followers were waiting outside. .

"Haven't you asked your honorable name?"

"I am Zhang Lu in Xuzhou."

By the way, this is the head of the caravan dispatched by Xuzhou this time, Duanmu Ling nodded, the person beside him just now must be Xiao Chong, this is probably a pseudonym, when he looked again, Xiao Chong had disappeared.

"Boss Zhang, doing business is just asking for money, why can't you accept Brother Ma's request?"

"To be honest, I came to the Northwest to ask for money this time. As long as I don't open up a business route, what should I do elsewhere?" "Brother Ma, if you need anything, I'll bring some more next time. Let me keep some and find more buyers."

Duanmuling laughed: "You really don't understand business, and you don't know people when doing business. What kind of buyer are you looking for? You don't know that the biggest buyer is in front of you. As long as you make friends with Brother Ma, why don't you worry about not selling your goods? "

Ma Dai loves to hear these words. "That's right, I'm not bragging. If I leave Chang'an City, I can sell all of them with just one word from me, or you won't be able to do a single deal."

"This is the younger brother of Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, so is Ma Dai!"

Zhang Lu pretended to be shocked and slapped his forehead. "Oh, the general's atonement, I really didn't expect it to be you, the Ma brothers, even I, a foreigner, are very popular. I apologize to the general. All the goods on this trip are sold to the general. The price is only [-]% However, I would like to ask the general to speak well in front of Brother Ling that I will be allowed to trade in the treasure land and be able to protect it.”

Duanmuling touched Zhang Lu with a few words. If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't seem to know each other and their accents were very different, Ma Dai would have suspected that they were in the same group. "It's easy to say, as long as you keep yourself safe, you will make a fortune."

Zhang Lu winked, and immediately said: "Then don't bother you two, I'll go back and prepare, and I will rush to Fufeng tomorrow morning, and I will ask the general to help me. If there are any special products in Baodi, I can buy them, and the price will never be higher." Lower than Chang'an."

The appearance of a philistine made Duanmuling laugh.Ma Dai waved his hand impatiently: "I see."

"Brother Mu came all the way from Liaodong to our northwest. I wonder if he is looking for relatives or friends?"

"I am traveling around under my father's order. I have learned a lot. It is a tour. I didn't expect to meet Brother Ma within a few days after arriving in Chang'an. It is really luck."

"Brother Mu, you have a dignified appearance and extraordinary speech, why do you still travel around at this age?" Ma Dai naturally wouldn't believe it.

"Brother Ma, don't laugh at my younger brother. I wanted to join the army, but my father said that the world is in chaos now. If you want to join the army, you have to choose the right master. Otherwise, not only will your official career be unpredictable, but if you vote for the wrong person, it will be difficult for you to repent later. Therefore, traveling is only one of them, and choosing the master is the main thing.”

This is more or less reasonable, Ma Dai laughed and said, "Master Chosen, you should go to Xudu, Xuzhou or Jiangdong, why did you come to the northwest?"
