Chapter 474 Ma Teng's Death II

"It is really a blessing for the court and a blessing for the society to contribute to the country." Hearing Lv Bu's words, Emperor Xian was about to turn his head and go back to the palace to sleep, but when he saw Yang Biao's eyes, he had to turn to him. Lv Bu praised with a smile. Although Emperor Xian did not understand why he, a dignified emperor, wanted to show his goodwill to Lv Bu, Yang Biao deeply understood Lv Bu's horror. Lv Bu's expedition for a year not only paced Sizhou, but also occupied most of Yanzhou. Now that Ma Teng is defeated and died, I'm afraid that Bingzhou can't escape Lv Bu's grasp. That means that in just a few years, Lv Bu has occupied more than half of the world of the Han Dynasty. Even if he has achieved hegemony, it is no exaggeration. Therefore, even Emperor Xian, who represents the Han Dynasty, can only rely on Lv Bu's breath and show his goodwill to Lv Bu at this time.

"Your Majesty was shocked. Please go back to the palace to rest." Since Emperor Xian took the initiative to show his goodwill to Lv Bu, Lv Bu also replied in time. A smart emperor who knows how to advance and retreat also saves a lot of unnecessary trouble for Lv Bu.

"Brother Lv Bu, how are my father and eldest brother?" Just after Emperor Xian and the ministers left, a delicate figure came to Lv Bu. He lowered his head and asked Lv Bu in an unreachable voice. The throbbing in the voice made Lv Bu couldn't help but feel pity. This person was not someone else but Ma Yunlu.

"I have arranged for Yunlu and your family to rest in the general's mansion. I'll accompany you there later." Looking at Ma Yunlu's slightly trembling thin body, Lv Bu knew what kind of suffering the thin little girl was suffering in her heart at this time. Unfortunately, in the face of such an extremely pitiful figure, Lv Bu could do little for him. Lv Bu didn't even know when Ma Yunlu knew the news of Ma Teng's death. Can this weak body really bear it?

After talking to Ma Yunlu, Lv Bu turned to the incense car next to him and lifted the curtain. Looking at Zhang Linger, who had fallen asleep in the car, his heart was slightly relaxed. Lv Bu could see that Zhang Linger was just out of power because of casting spells. As long as she had a good sleep, it should be fine. Then he put down the curtain, turned around and walked away.

"It made you suffer." At this time, Lv Bu came to Cai Yan, reached out and grabbed Cai Yan's hand and said, "Take them back first. I'm going to the general's mansion."

"General, go ahead if you have something to do. Come back early after finishing your work. I will wait at home. As for these sisters, I will take good care of them." Cai Yan was grasped by Lv Bu. Although he was already an old husband and wife, he didn't realize that he blushed. Compared with the ladies in those years, today Cai Yan has the charm of many mature women, and sometimes he even has the temperament of the first lady of the Han Dynasty.

"Yunlu, I'll take you home." After letting the soldiers send Cai Yan and others away, Lv Bu came to Ma Yunlu again, gently took Ma Yunlu's hand, put Ma Yunlu on horseback, and went to the general's mansion together.

At this time, a mourning hall has been set up in the general's mansion. In the middle of the mourning hall is a good sandalwood coffin. At this time, Ma Teng has changed into the general's clothes and lies quietly in the coffin. It doesn't look like he is dead, but seems to be asleep. It's just that the general's armor is worn on his body and makes Ma Teng's body. It seems that he is extraordinary, and it seems that he has to continue his unfinished journey in another world.

"Major General, the old general has gone. I don't know what the major general plans to do in the future?" Seeing that Ma Chao's expression gradually calmed down, Ma Dai quietly came to Ma Chao and bowed and asked. When Ma Chao entered the city, he ignored Lv Bu's attitude. Ma Dai saw it in his eyes, but he was very anxious. Ma Dai knew Ma Chao's temper very well. Although Ma Teng had a will and did not want Ma Chao to go on along his own path, it was hard to say whether Ma Chao could really let go. Although Ma Teng's death was not done by Lv Bu, it had nothing to do with Lv Bu.

"Do you think Lv Bu is my enemy? Should I avenge my father?" With half a silence, Ma Chao suddenly looked up and asked Ma Dai.

Hearing Ma Chao's words, Ma Dai was shocked. Ma Dai naturally understood the real reason why Ma Chao asked this question, but it was not the time to be angry. At this time, they were already in Chang'an City and were completely mastered by Lv Bu. If Lv Bu knew that Ma Chao had such an idea, I'm afraid that Ma Chao might not even live tonight. Thinking of this, Ma Dai settled down and said, "I naturally understand the meaning of the major general, but this dispatch of troops is to take advantage of the danger of others. We want to take over Chang'an City when Lv Bu is away, and as for the death of the old general. The lieutenant did not mean to force the old general, but the old general felt that he had been defeated by Lv Bu. He did not see the generals again, and wanted to live for all the generals, so he chose to die, and Lv Bu had fulfilled his promise and did not retaliate against our sergeants.

"So, it's all my father's fault?" Ma Chao turned around and looked at Ma Dai with some dissatisfaction and said.

"No, my subordinates don't mean that. My subordinates just tell the truth, and let my army surrender to Lv Bu after the death of the old general, which is also what the old general means." Facing Ma Chao's eyes, Ma Dai could only lower his head and obviously did not want to face Ma Chao's eyes.

"Yes, my father decided to exchange his life for our way of life for me to live. It's just that my father is dead. As a son, what should I do for my father? Shouldn't I inherit my father's legacy?" Ma Chao stared at Ma Dai and asked.

"Does the major general still want to be Lv Bu's enemy? Does the major general know how much the Ma family has lost since the war with Lv Bu? The reason why the old general asked all the soldiers and horses of the Ma family to surrender to Lv Bu was to protect the Ma family and not to let the Ma family suffer the disaster. Does the major general want to disobey the will of the old general and take the Ma family to the demise? Unlike Ma Chao's understanding of Ma Teng's will, Ma Dai believes that Ma Teng's will is not to complete Ma Teng's unfinished business, but to protect the Ma family.

"Is this my father's wish?" After listening to Ma Dai's words, Ma Chao's heart moved again, and his clear thoughts became blurred again. In troubled times, only the strong can dominate the world and rise. Ma Chao is not without ambition, but looking at things more thoroughly than others. Nowadays, although it is a troubled time, the unified atmosphere has slowly taken shape. Lv Bu was born in vain. Ma Chao thought he could not compete with it, so he gradually extinguished himself. The heart of competing for hegemony, now the Ma family is weak. After this failure, I'm afraid that Bingzhou can no longer be preserved. As for the struggle for hegemony, he is even more powerless. Even Ma Teng has given up. What can Ma Chao do?

As the flame in Ma Chao's heart gradually extinguished, he calmed down.

"Dad." At this moment, a sad cry came in from the outside, and then a weak figure ran and lay on Ma Teng's coffin. It was Ma Yunlu. Behind Ma Yunlu, Lv Bu slowly walked in and bowed deeply to Ma Teng's coffin with his fist.

"The deceased is gone, and I would like to ask the major general to pay my condolences." After Shi Li finished, Lv Bu walked to Ma Chao and comforted him.

"Thank you, Lieutenant, for your concern." Seeing Lv Bu coming, Ma Chao's face pulled out and seemed to want to say something, but he never said it. Ma Dai, who was beside him, hurriedly returned to Lv Bu.

"Brother, why, why don't you leave your father in Bingzhou and why do you want to go back to Chang'an?" At this time, Ma Yunlu's face was full of tears and turned around, but complained about Ma Chao.

Hearing Ma Yunlu's words, Ma Chao's face suddenly became difficult to look. Since Ma Teng's death, Ma Chao felt that someone was responsible for Ma Teng's death, and Ma Chao finally decided that it should be Lv Bu. However, at this time, when his sister came, she blamed himself. Ma Chao was speechless for a moment. Yes, yes, why didn't you dissuade Ma Teng? Knowing Lv Bu's strength, why did he let his father and Lv Bu be enemies, so that even his life was buried in vain? At this time, Ma Chao understood that the person he was looking for was responsible for Ma Teng's death. Chang'an must be Lv Bu's place. Lv Bu was just self-defense, and his responsibility in this matter was much heavier than Lv Bu's.

"It's the eldest brother who is not good. It's the eldest brother who didn't take good care of his father." After a pause, Ma Chao finally opened his mouth with a bitter face. At this time, Ma Chao's eyes looking at Lv Bu again had eased a lot. Lv Bu saw this in his eyes and was happy in his heart. What Lv Bu was most afraid of was that after Ma Teng's death, Ma Chao's relationship with him could not be eased. In the end, he had to kill Ma Chao. However, it seems that the situation is much better now. At least Lv Bu can no longer see the spark of hatred in Ma Chao's eyes at this time.

"Brother, we will only depend on each other in the future. Brother wants to promise Yunlu and stay with Yunlu in the future. Don't leave again, okay?" Seeing that Ma Chao was infected by his emotions, Ma Yunlu reached out and grabbed Ma Chao's hand and said.

"The eldest brother knows that the eldest brother will stay in Chang'an in the future, and he won't go there." At this time, Ma Chao has no other intention to dominate the world. In Ma Chao's opinion, it has nothing to do with him. He just hopes that he can protect his family in his life and not let his family suffer any more harm.

"In the future, everyone will live in Chang'an at ease." At this time, Lv Bu also stepped forward and reached out to hold the two people and said.

At this time, Lv Bu suddenly saw that Ma Yunlu's eyes were full of complexity, which made Lv Bu suddenly shocked. Wasn't what Ma Yunlu just said the truth? For a moment, Lv Bu was a little worried. No one could imagine what kind of touch Ma Teng's death would bring to a stubborn and weak girl like Ma Yunlu. However, listening to Ma Yunlu's words, it was obviously towards Lv Bu. No, maybe not to Lv Bu, but Ma Yunlu didn't want the Ma family to be there. I was hurt, that's why I said so. Thinking of this, Lv Bu couldn't help sighing in his heart.
