() Just as everyone was cheering loudly for Ma Chao's turning archery, a burly man also heard the sound and came over. This man who was more than eight feet tall, with a strong back and a strong waist, full of beard, and very imposing man was naturally the Ma Yue brother.

My father was furious. He had just returned from work at the Yamen. When he came home and walked through the school grounds, he heard loud cheers inside. Out of curiosity, he came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, he saw his two sons among them. This made him

He smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Chao'er, are you showing off your martial arts skills here again?" Ma Teng said after walking in front of everyone.

The sergeants followed the sound and saw that Lord Sima had arrived. There was a moment of silence, and Ma Chao quickly jumped off his horse and saluted his father: "My son has seen his father!" Ma Yue here also followed suit and gave it to himself.

The father saluted.

Ma Teng responded, and then looked Ma Yue up and down a few times, his face softened slightly: "Yue'er, it seems that your body has recovered a lot? Why, did you want to go out for a walk?"

In front of him, Ma Teng would not call his two sons by their nicknames, so he only called them by their first names.

"Yes, the child has been bored in the room for many days. Now that his health is improving, he wants to come out and walk around. He doesn't want to hear the sound of fighting here, so he and his brother come in to have a look. Father, my brother is really good at it..."

Ma Yue hurriedly spoke for Ma Chao.

"As a father, of course you know what he is capable of, so you don't need to brag in front of others. However, as a general, the most important thing is to use soldiers skillfully, not personal bravery. No matter how superb your martial arts are, you will still be nothing among thousands of troops.

That's it. For example, in the previous fight with those horse thieves, if my father hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid he would have..." Ma Teng glanced at his eldest son, and then said: "It's getting late, if your mother finds out that you are not in the room.

Resting is bound to be uneasy, so you should go home with your father."

"Yes!" The two brothers did not dare to disobey. After hugging the soldiers, they followed their father and left. Seeing them leave, Geng Ping breathed a sigh of relief. He finally did not fight Ma Chao, and finally did not have to make a fool of himself in public.

The three father and son left the school grounds and took a few steps forward. Ma Yue suddenly said: "Father, calm down, brother, fighting with others is just a game." But it was because he saw the gloomy look on Ma Teng's face that he thought it was

He was still angry because of what Ma Chao had done before, so he couldn't help but persuade him again.

When Ma Teng heard what his son said, a smile appeared on his face: "I am very relieved that you can protect your brother in this way. Don't worry, my father is not unhappy about this."

"Oh? Then why is father worried about something? I wonder if you can let the child take care of your worries." Ma Yue said curiously. Ma Chao on the other side was full of surprise. Although his brother had some brains, he had never seen him before.

He wants to help his father so actively. In the past, he was just used to obey his father's arrangements. Why did he change his attitude today?

Ma Teng was also stunned, but then he shook his head: "It's a business matter. I won't be able to help you even if I tell you. You should take care of yourself."

"Father, as the saying goes, one person can judge the shortcomings, and two people can judge the strengths. Although the child is far inferior to the father in terms of experience and ability, he may be able to provide some suggestions. So I would like to ask father..." Ma Yue didn't think so, and

He said something. His intention in saying this was not to express himself, but to divert Ma Teng's attention from pursuing what just happened.

When Ma Teng heard what his son said, he felt moved in his heart. He still had some understanding of this second son's mind. Although it was not yet in place now, if he cultivated it carefully, he might actually be able to accomplish something in the future. Therefore, although at this time,

His son's words seemed a bit overwhelming, so he decided to test his son. Even if he failed, it didn't matter.

With this idea in mind, Ma Teng clarified his current problem: "Do you still remember that horse thief named Yi Wo Feng?"

"They? What did they do again?" Ma Chao frowned when he heard the name. Apparently he was still thinking about the danger that day, and he felt very unwilling and angry. If these horse thieves hadn't captured their brother, his second brother would

He was not seriously injured and has not recovered yet, not to mention that his marriage has been delayed because of this.

"It has been half a month since they captured Lin's daughter and her father. Of course, the Lin family will not let this matter go. They have already gone to see Governor Geng. He was very dissatisfied with this, so he put the problem in my hands.

." Ma Teng said the matter very simply: "I am worried about what to do."

When he mentioned this, Ma Chao thought about the fact that the daughter of the Lin family, his fiancée, was in the hands of a horse thief. During the first battle, because his younger brother was seriously injured, he only cared about Ma Yue and completely forgot about it.

After that, he also forgot about the matter of the Lin family daughter. It was only now that he remembered that such a woman was still in his hands. This does not mean that he is cold-blooded, but he actually has no feelings for this woman.

, will unconsciously ignore this person's matter.

As for Ma Yue, although he had a rough memory of these things, they were not part of his memory, so he did not have a deep understanding of them. Now after hearing what his father said, he suddenly remembered that the previous things were not over yet.

In fact, the matter is not only unfinished, it can even be said to be in the ascendant. The Lin family is considered a wealthy family in Liangzhou. Although the person who was taken away by the horse thieves was not a real direct descendant, they couldn't bear the bad breath.

Moreover, they were also very dissatisfied with the Ma family's inaction, so they went to see Geng Bi, the current governor of Liangzhou, and asked him to give an explanation to their family, and also filed a complaint against Ma Teng.

During the Han Dynasty, governors were set up in all the states in the world to supervise and govern the local areas. At the same time, the counties under the states also had the official position of prefect to oversee everything. As a result, there were some overlapping powers, and everyone

There was a certain amount of persuasive disputes between the prefect of the county where the state's government was located and the governor. Liangzhou, a borderland, was not immune to this. There had always been an open and covert struggle between the governor Geng Bi and the governor Li Xiangru.

Now that Ma Teng, a military commander who is closer to Longxi Prefect Li Xiangru, has something in his hands, Geng Bi will naturally not let it go. In the past two days, he used this opportunity to reprimand Ma Teng, and today it is even more so

Directly ordered Ma Teng to find a way to wipe out Yi Wo Feng and this group of horse thieves within one or two months, and to rescue the Lin family daughter safely.

"Hey, at first I just thought that being able to establish a relationship with the Lin family would be very beneficial to your future career, Heihu, before I made this decision. But I didn't expect that things would evolve into what they are today. A well-off society is almost... now

They used the topic again..." As he spoke, Ma Teng sighed heavily again.

The whereabouts of this group of people have always been unpredictable, and now that they have offended wealthy families like Ma Teng and the Lin family, they will naturally go into hiding. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to eliminate them, let alone rescue the daughter of the Lin family.

After figuring out the joints, Ma Yue also frowned. He didn't expect that he had such a problem right now. What should he do?

The reason why the Ma family was able to take root in Longxian County, Longxi, the seat of Liangzhou, was because Ma Teng had a certain status in the army. If people like Geng Bi were caught because of this, the consequences would be disastrous.

Not so optimistic anymore. Ma Yue understood the key, so he really wanted to help his father in this matter.

"There's no conclusion yet on this matter, so you don't have to worry too much. My father will always have a way to deal with it. After all, Prefect Li and I have always been on good terms, and he, the governor, should also be wary of him." Ma Teng saw two things.

The son frowned deeply, then he pretended to smile casually. These words were of some use to Ma Chao, but to Ma Yue, who had gone through a lot of things, they were completely useless, but he did not refute, just

He nodded in agreement.

While they were talking, the three fathers and sons had returned to their own home, and their mother was looking for Ma Yue everywhere. Seeing that he had returned safely, she was relieved, but she also complained about them.

Although his mother had complained about him a lot, Ma Yue was not unhappy at all. On the contrary, he felt warm in his heart. In his previous life, he was just an orphan and rarely enjoyed the care of his parents. Now he has two people like him.

He enjoys being so concerned about himself. He feels that he has completely integrated into this family and identity, and now that the family is encountering a certain crisis, he has the obligation to find a way to deal with it all.

But this method is not easy to find. After dinner and thinking hard for a while, Ma Yue still found nothing. However, he was not too worried that his family would really decline because of this, because he already knew that his eldest brother was Ma Chao.

This reminds me of some stories in novels.

Although this father named Ma Teng is only a minor character in the novel, he can still be regarded as a local warlord. How could such a person be defeated by this governor whose name does not even appear in the novel? So he is very powerful.

He is confident that his father will come up with countermeasures even without his own help, at least he will not become an ordinary family. But this does not mean that he is not worried about the current problems. After all, he is in it, and he is not

You may look at things like an outsider.

Ma Yue had the memory of later generations and was very confident, but Ma Chao was different. So when he came to see his brothers again half an hour later, he brought with him a marching map made of sheepskin.

When he saw Ma Yue, he said: "Second brother, I know your brain is more flexible than mine. Come and help me find out where these horse thieves are hiding. Maybe we can help father deal with these horse thieves." As he said,

He opened a crude map in front of Ma Yue.

Looking at the rough terrain map in front of him, Ma Yue looked at a loss. He had never received training in this area. How could he guess the whereabouts of those horse thieves who came and went like the wind through this kind of map? He was trying his best to research.

After a long while, Ma Yue gave up this arduous task and said with a wry smile: "This is really difficult for me. But don't worry, brother, I believe that this matter will not be difficult for my father, because..." At this point,

, his mind suddenly changed, and he thought of a key point.

"Because?" Seeing that he stopped mid-sentence, Ma Chao asked in confusion.

"Because they captured my sister-in-law!" Ma Yue smiled confidently: "A horse thief will never capture someone for his own use. He will definitely want to use it in exchange for benefits. So I think the Lin family should have something in this regard.

News, if father wants to deal with those horse thieves, he can ask the Lin family."
