Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 412 Ma Teng's Price

"Old Yuan's family has four generations and three princes. They are powerful. Although the Yuan brothers are at odds with each other. But even so, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are still the top figures among the princes. The general wants me to go to Bingzhou to deal with Yuan Shao. The general is a good plan But I, Ma Teng, agreed, and I will never be your enemy from now on, Lu Bu." Although it seems that he has been downgraded by a level compared to being a general in Chang'an when he arrived in Bingzhou, Ma Teng knew that once he gained a foothold in Bingzhou, That will be a vaster world than Chang'an, even if it is to be an enemy of the mighty Yuan Shao, so what?Who in the troubled times has not been honed from blood and fire.

"General Lu Bu arranged our Ma family in Bingzhou, but the general has already started to make arrangements, is he ready to take over the world? The general seems to be in a hurry." Seeing that Ma Teng didn't seem to notice that Lu Bu had begun to arrange the situation in the world, Ma Yunlu was in Aside said carefully.Obviously he wanted to remind Ma Teng, but what if Ma Teng knew about it?Does Ma Teng have other options?Is there any place in the world more suitable for Ma Teng's development than Bingzhou?

"If you have anything else to say, general, just say it." Ma Teng calmed down the turmoil in his heart, and said again.Ma Teng, who is well-versed in the world, naturally understands that there is no free lunch in the world, and there will be no pies in the sky. There must be other conditions for Lu Bu to propose such a tempting thing.

"Miss Yunlu is talented and smart. I am going to take Miss Yunlu to see Your Majesty after General Ma Chao finds His Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to confer Miss Yunlu as the eldest princess, so that General Ma Teng will have no worries in Bingzhou, and he will be able to serve you better." I don’t know what General Ma Teng’s intentions are for the imperial court.” Originally, Lu Bu was too embarrassed to propose such a condition, because anyone with a discerning eye could see what would happen after Lu Bu left Ma Yunlu behind, but it was just a few words from Ma Yunlu. But it reminded Lu Bu that this little girl in front of him is not simple, and such a person should not be owned by others. Ma Yunlu not only has beauty, but more importantly, Ma Yunlu seems to be able to guess Lu Bu's thoughts. It's too dangerous.

"What? You want to keep my daughter?" Hearing Lu Bu's words, Ma Teng frowned, and the expression on his face became calm. Ma Yunlu is Ma Teng's only daughter, and Ma Teng is also devoted to Ma Yunlu. However, Ma Teng also understood that his people had just fought with Lu Bu, and to gain Lu Bu's trust, there must be a hostage staying behind. He looked at Ma Yunlu, wanting to see what Ma Yunlu meant. It wasn't that Ma Teng didn't want to reject Lu Bu, but as a person who was used to storms, Ma Teng knew that it was best not to quarrel with Lu Bu at this time, otherwise the Ma family would be very upset. He may have nothing, but as long as he has a firm foothold in Bingzhou, he will have the opportunity to compete with Lu Bu and bring Ma Yunlu back to his side.

"General, do you really want me to stay?" At this moment, I saw Ma Yunlu looking at Lu Bu strangely, his face was slightly red, and his expression was a little unspeakably happy, as if he was looking forward to Lu Bu's request , and a little embarrassed.

"Eh? It's not peaceful in Bingzhou. Miss should stay in Chang'an for a while. Although she has to part with her relatives, her safety is the most important thing." Hearing Ma Yunlu's question, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then a little He hesitated, after all, it was not a fair thing to use the family's future to persecute a little girl.

"That's it, thank you General for your concern." Seeing Lu Bu's embarrassed expression, Ma Yunlu understood something in his heart, turned his head to Ma Teng with a sweet smile and said, "Daddy, let me stay. I also Would you like to see the majesty of our majesty?"

"My good daughter, don't worry, I will come to pick you up when Bingzhou settles down." Although Ma Teng also saw the weirdness in the expressions of Lu Bu and Ma Yunlu, he also knew that Lu Bu was the leader of today's world. A rare character, but Lu Bu is a man with a wife. The daughter of his majestic general Ma Teng will never marry Lu Bu as a child. This is why Ma Teng is not optimistic about the relationship between Lu Bu and Ma Yunlu from the bottom of his heart. , but at the moment, he can't express any other dissatisfaction with Lu Bu Ma Teng. He can only solemnly express to his daughter that he will rescue her and leave. As for when this can be done, even Ma Teng himself is not sure. .

"Besides, since General Ma Teng is going to serve in Bingzhou, the post of general will have to be vacated. I don't know what General Ma Teng wants?" I don't want Ma Teng to use this official position to cause troubles in Bingzhou. Some things are better done neatly.

"Of course, General Lu Bu is a young talent. In my opinion, the post of great general must be General Lu Bu." Hearing Lu Bu's words, Ma Teng's eyes flashed a look of understanding, but he continued to express his goodwill to Lu Bu, asking Lu Bu Be the general.

"Who will be the general will be discussed at this time, but there is still a small matter, Lu Bu also needs to inform General Ma Teng." Lu Bu smiled faintly, put this matter aside, and changed the subject.

"I don't know what else is going on with General Lu Bu?" Hearing Lu Bu's words, Ma Teng suddenly had a bad feeling. From Lu Bu's words, Ma Teng already knew that he was going to lose something again, but thinking about himself It seems that there is nothing else worthy of Lu Bu's covetousness.

"In the battle last night, General Pound and Yan Xing colluded to murder my life, but the matter was revealed. Yan Xing fled, and Pound has been kept by me, so he can no longer follow General Ma Teng. It's a trivial matter, but I need to speak to General Ma Teng so that General Ma Teng won't be worried." Although Lu Bu's tone was calm, there was an unquestionable meaning in his words.

"This? Pound is reckless. If you want to murder the general, you deserve death. But please, the general, for the sake of Pound's loyalty, don't blame him. The old man will bear everything." Hearing that Lu Bu sent Pound After he was taken into custody, Ma Teng's expression suddenly changed. His expression at this time was even more embarrassing than when he heard Lu Bu say that he wanted to keep Ma Yunlu.Although it was beyond Ma Teng's expectation to keep Ma Yunlu, such things as taking hostages have existed since ancient times. Both Ma Teng and Ma Yunlu were captured by Dianwei. Now Lu Bu promised to let Ma Teng go, but he also said This is already a big concession.But Pound is different. Pound is a powerful general in the Ma family army, comparable to Ma Chao. Without Pound, the Ma family army is like an iron man with a broken arm. People, when will they have the strength to compete with Lu Bu.This made Ma Teng, who had always been proud of himself, had to bow his head and plead with Lu Bu.

"General Ma Teng, although you are someone I, Lu Bu, admire, but some things are irreversible once they happen. Why should the general be too persistent? Besides, if Pang De stays with me, I will naturally not treat him badly. General Ma Teng Don't worry." Seeing that Ma Teng had misunderstood what he meant, Lu Bu said noncommittally.We can't let Lu Bu tell Ma Teng directly that he poached his corner, but even if Lu Bu said that, Ma Teng might not believe it. Ma Teng must know Pound's loyalty, otherwise It is also determined not to value Pound so much.

"Daddy, there's no need to say any more. I think General Lu Bu has been planning to keep General Pound by his side for a long time, so why would he let it go so easily?" Unlike Ma Teng, Ma Yunlu had already seen through Lu Bu's intentions. Said bluntly.This made Lu Bu's face a little uneasy. It seems that Lu Bu's face is not thick enough.

"Hehe, General Pound is a good man for running the army, so he will be reused wherever he goes." Lu Bu said with some self-mocking.

"It seems that we still underestimated General Lu Bu. We didn't expect that we planned to plot against General Lu Bu, but in the end we fell into the trap of General Lu Bu, and we couldn't say anything. General Lu Bu is really good at calculating." Ma Yunlu At this time, he became tough, and he seemed unwilling to save face for Lu Bu.But there is no way to do it, who told Ma Yunlu to wait to marry in his boudoir? If he thinks about being my wife of Lu Bu, he won't say that about me.Hearing Ma Yunlu's unceremonious words, Lu Bu thought dirtyly in his heart. After thinking about it this way, Lu Bu not only didn't realize how unpleasant Ma Yunlu's words were, but also had some longing for what happened between himself and Ma Yunlu in the future. stand up.

"Stop talking, Yunlu. Since I failed, I, Ma Teng, will admit defeat." Just when Ma Yunlu wanted to argue with Lu Bu because Lu Bu treated Ma Teng too harshly, Ma Teng waved his hand to stop him. Daughter, there is no need to put things on the negotiating table that a man can solve on the battlefield. Now that the war has been defeated, what benefits can be won on the negotiating table, not to mention that Ma Teng is unremittingly letting his daughter come forward to help intercede.

"Hahaha, General Ma Teng is really bold. I knew that this meeting between General Ma Teng and I would definitely yield a result that satisfies both parties." Seeing that Ma Teng had agreed, Lu Bu laughed. So busy that now Lu Bu also needs to go back to deal with the remaining things, and Ma Teng and Ma Yunlu also need to rest.

"However, there is one thing I must remind General Lu Bu. During Yunlu's stay in Chang'an, General Lu Bu needs to take good care of her. If something happens to him, even if my Ma family is smashed to pieces, I will deal with you to the end. I hope the general remembers her. Stay here." Just when Lu Bu wanted to stand up and leave.Sitting on the bed all the time, Ma Teng, who was out of breath, suddenly shot a gleam of light from his eyes, and said solemnly to Lu Bu.
