Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 521 The Oath
"Don't be busy drinking, you can practice your sword first and show me." Ma Yunlu took the hip flask and horns.

Duanmuling was very obedient, stood his ground firmly, adjusted his breathing, gathered his momentum, and immediately stabbed obliquely with his sword.Putting the sword back into the sheath, drawing the sword again has become a straight cut; drawing the sword for the third time has changed to upward thrusting.With seven sword strikes, seven different ways and directions of attack, and seven different footsteps, Duanmu Ling's strength gradually failed to keep up.

"Well, it's not bad." Ma Yunlu was not polite at all. "You have to be faster, don't drag your feet. What's more, your hands are not steady, your wrist strength can't keep up, it looks good, and you will suffer in battle. What do you call it?"

"Gorgeous."

"Yes, it's flashy. You need to practice more strength. It's useless to look good. The key is to be able to kill the enemy. The hand must be steady. I suspect that your sword can't even cut a wooden stick, let alone a human arm." Ma Yunlu Start to demonstrate for Duanmuling.

Duanmuling wondered why Ma Yunlu was so attentive today?
Half an hour later, when the two sat down, Ma Yunlu poured wine and said, "I don't know what the two brothers have been up to these two days, they are very secretive, you have to be careful..."

Before the words finished, Duanmuling saw a horse galloping from a distance, and hurriedly got up to watch, and it was Ma Dai who came.

When Ma Dai came close, not only did he not get off his horse, but pointed his sword at him: "I warned you, why didn't you listen to my advice!"

Ma Yunlu took a step forward and pulled Duanmu Ling behind him. "Second brother, what are you doing? Can't I come to drink with Mu Ling?"

"Little sister, get out of the way!"

Duan Muling walked out from behind Ma Yunlu, and cupped his hands: "Brother Ma, I don't know how to offend you, but I want to show my weapon."

"Don't try to lie to me, you are close to my little sister, you just want to use her to get the big brother's reuse, to gain power..."

Duanmu Ling's expression changed. "I respect you, Brother Ma, why do you want to humiliate me? A man is a real man, and his achievements are based on his real talents and learning. Although I, Mu Ling, am unworthy, I have some skills in myself. I don't just eat and drink in your camp. Since General Ma doesn’t trust me, so just leave, brother.”

"Mu Ling, don't go." Ma Yunlu held Duan Muling.

"Hey, do you want to run away after being spotted by me? Little sister, get out of the way and let me kill this cunning thief."

"Second brother, are you trying to force me to take action?" Ma Yunlu had already put his hand on the sword. "Mu Ling, if you want to go, I will go with you!"

Uh, Duanmuling wanted to get away with this, but he didn't expect to cause even bigger troubles. Not to mention Ma Dai's unbelief, Ma Yunlu also wanted to go with him.

"Little sister, you've got a demon, he's a Han! Where can I take you?"

Strange, what does Ma Dai mean by this sentence? ?Duanmuling didn't have time to think about it, and laughed again: "Does General Ma value family background so much? In my eyes, it is like dirt. Born, parents are born; roads are made by oneself. You humiliate me again and again, I really think Am I easy to deceive? A man and a woman are in love with each other, and the eldest lady is kind-hearted and straightforward..."

Ma Yunlu looked straight at Duanmuling, is that how he looks at me?I'm pretty good looking too.

Ma Dai drew his knife and drew it back. "How dare you swear?"

"Why don't you dare?" Duanmu Ling raised his right hand. "I admire the heart of the eldest lady, but I swear to the sun and the moon here, that I will never betray the eldest lady in my lifetime, and never marry except the eldest lady!"

Ma Yunlu was stunned, and finally said it, and said it in front of the second brother, and the eldest brother was missing.Ma Dai nodded in satisfaction, put the big knife on the ground, and got off the horse.Only then did Duanmu Ling realize that Ma Dai had been testing himself, and if he hesitated a little bit earlier or made a mistake in his words, he would lose his life.But, Ma Dai, why is this?

"Little sister, go aside, I have something to say to Mu Ling."

"No, is there anything you can't say in front of me?"

"Oh." Ma Dai sighed helplessly. "Let's go."

"Second brother is so strange today, he came here for no reason to bother us about drinking, now you are the one who should leave, how about us?"

Duanmuling tugged at Ma Yunlu, and bowed to Ma Dai: "Second brother, do you want us to go? Where are we going?"

"Yes, leave the northwest and join Uncle in Yedu!"

Ma Yunlu's face changed drastically. "Second brother, why did you suddenly ask us to vote for father? Could something have happened?"

Ma Dai's face was gloomy. "Sit down and talk. I shouldn't have told you, alas." Another long sigh.

"The caravan came here and brought news that when they passed by Xudu, they heard rumors that Cao Cao intended to send Zhong Yao and Xiahou Dun to conquer Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. The elder brother immediately sent people to Chang'an, bribed Zhong Yao's men with a lot of money, and found If there is such a thing. And Han Sui got the news from nowhere, so he sent someone to see his eldest brother to discuss countermeasures, and the person who came was Cheng Gongying!"

Speaking of this, Ma Yunlu looked nervous, and the hand holding Duanmu Ling trembled a little.Duanmuling patted Ma Yunlu lightly, thinking to himself that Deng Ai had succeeded, so the lord was eager to let him go back. "Hehe, why do I think Cao Cao's sending troops to Hanzhong is fake, but plotting Xiliang is real?"

"Yes, Mu Ling is right. It must be that Han Sui beheaded Zhang Meng and won Wuwei and angered Cao Cao, so he sent troops. It was Han Sui who caused the trouble, and he came to discuss with elder brother."

"It's not that simple. Killing and seizing land has long been the norm in the Northwest. Cao Cao never paid attention to it. How did it change this time? Brother also thinks that Cao Cao is here for him and Han Sui."

Ma Yunlu was even more nervous. "What does big brother want?"

"What else can I do, prepare for battle."

Duanmu Ling said: "That's really a time for employing people. I should stay and help elder brother. How can I leave?"

Ma Yunlu glanced at Duanmuling approvingly, this is a man.But what did Cheng Gongying do here?
Ma Dai shook his head. "To tell you the truth, the elder brother intends to entangle the ten divisions, but in order to obtain the right to command the army, the elder brother is going to promise the younger sister to Cheng Gongying. And... moreover, the elder brother is going to worship Han Sui as his adoptive father!"

The faces of Duanmu Ling and Ma Yunlu became extremely ugly: "Second Brother, don't you want to persuade Big Brother?"

"What's the use of persuasion? Big brother said that the people of the ten tribes are scattered, and Han Sui has the most soldiers and horses. If you want to be strong, you must have Han Sui's support. I even argued with him because of this. You know the temper of big brother..." Ma Dai looked helpless. "So, if you want to marry Cheng Gongying, little sister, you have to leave."

Duanmuling understood, does Ma Chao want to learn from Lu Bu?He was dissatisfied with his father leaving with two younger brothers who were born in Han Dynasty. He wanted to dominate Xiliang, but the plan he and Deng Ai devised gave him a chance. He didn't hesitate to own his sister, or to admit a thief as his father. What he wanted was power!
