After a while, Ma Chao kept his laughter, looked at his second brother opposite him, and suddenly glanced at me again, his behavior seemed a little puzzled. I don’t know what he was thinking?

"Guan Yu, Zhang Fei...I lost!" Ma Chao suddenly spoke, his speech was very slow and his tone was very desolate. "I will fulfill my promise, and I hope you don't break your promise..."

"Brother Guan stood up to the sky, how could he do such a thing without trust and righteousness?" The second brother gently stroked his long beard under his chin and replied in a cold voice.

"Okay, okay, okay!" After hearing the second brother's affirmative answer, Ma Chao said three times, then looked northwest and sang long, "Liangzhou gave birth to a boy, and he fought on the battlefield; he was stained with clothes for battle, and his corpse was exposed in the wild..."

The loud singing filled with the meaning of Qiang land echoed continuously on the battlefield, and it continued for a long time...

.

"General, hurry up and stop Ma Chao..." Pang Tong, who was watching the battle with me not far away, suddenly rode his horse over and shouted to me in a shocking voice, "He is going to commit suicide!"

"What?" I was stunned for a moment, first turned to look at Pang Tong, and then quickly turned my gaze back to Ma Chao.

At this moment, Ma Chao suddenly pulled out the sword hanging from the side of the horse, and turned his wrist and the sharp sword tip quickly wiped his neck.

Because Ma Chao's movements are extremely fast, many people don't see clearly what's going on.

He threw the sword in his hand to the ground casually, and Ma Chao looked up at the sky. Suddenly, a ball of blood mist spurted out from his neck. Against the setting sun, the blood mist seemed so charming and sad...

The soldiers watching the battle on both sides were completely stunned and focused their attention on Ma Chao.

"Born on the battlefield, die on the battlefield. It's... it's... my fate of Ma Chao!" He maintained a look up at the sky, and Ma Chao's body slowly... slowly slid off the horse's back.

With a "click!", the once terrifying and majestic body finally fell on the cold soil.

.

What happened? Why did Ma Chao commit suicide? Was he dead?

With countless doubts, I jumped out of the cart, jumped onto the black horse, and galloped towards the place where Ma Chao was lying down.

The distance of more than a hundred steps was only a blink of an eye at Wu Zhi's feet. But one of them had arrived before me, and he was my second brother.

The second brother had already turned the red rabbit down, squatted down, stretched out his right hand and looked in Ma Chaoren's middle.

After I got off the horse, I squatted and pulled Ma Chao's left hand up, put three fingers on his wrist with my right hand, and looked at the pulse.

After a while, my second brother and I looked up at each other, then shook our heads together.

The pulse is extremely weak, and it is very likely that it will stop completely in the next moment. Although I don’t know what the result of the second brother’s probation was, I have almost no breath...

Ma Chao's sword was "just right" in the right position and strength. He completely cut off the aorta and laryngeal trachea. Even Hua Tuo, the most famous genius doctor of this era, was just a waste of time.

When we stood up together, a strange look appeared in the eyes of my second brother and I———Ma Chao’s sudden suicide was really surprising.

Could it be that I lost to my second brother because of a one-on-one challenge? It seems a bit unreasonable! Ma Chao also lost to me for a while during the Battle of Jiangling, and he didn't see him seeking death at that time.

Moreover, according to known information, Ma Chao is not the kind of person with a narrow "power". He has not yet reached the level of "one who feels he has no face to live in the world, and he can only die to cleanse the shame."

Is there anything else in this? I really can't figure it out...

……………………………………………

At this time, the gate of Xinling South City was suddenly opened. A dozen cavalry rushed out of the city and rushed straight towards me and my second brother.

In fear that the enemy would be unfavorable to us, Guan Ping urgently greeted my 18th cavalry guard and rushed over.

Due to the difference in distance, Guan Ping and others arrived first. Under Guan Ping's command, the 18th cavalry guards formed a ring shape and guarded me and my second brother in the middle.

"Dingguo..." I waved to Guan Ping and signaled them to retreat aside. Although my second brother and I were hiking, and we had no weapons. But with the other party's only ten riders, we could not move the two of us at all.

.

Soon, the more than ten riders had already arrived in front of us. The leaders all had some portraits of Ma Chao, probably all of whom were Ma Chao's brothers.

"Pu!" "Puu!" More than a dozen people flipped down from the horse, rushed to Ma Chao's body in a few steps, and fell to the ground one after another, burst into tears.

"Brother..." More than a dozen jealous men were crying like three-year-old children, and they cried in a very desolate and heart-wrenching manner. The three of them were the first to hug Ma Chao's body tightly and cried almost fainted.

At this moment, my second brother and I couldn't say anything, so we could only watch quietly——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

In such an embarrassing situation, I don’t know how long it took. I looked at my second brother and prepared to return to the camp first, leaving these people with a chance to collect the corpse and calm down. As for the matter of taking over and surrender, it seems that I can only let it go first!

However, at this moment, the oldest among the three people who were in the first place suddenly stood up, grabbed Ma Chao's arms, exerted a little force, and carried the body on his back. Then he endured the grief and said to me and my second brother indifferently: "My Ma family man must keep his word! As you wish, the eldest brother is dead.

One hour later, we opened the city and surrendered!"

After saying that, the man carried Ma Chao's body on his back and walked towards the city gate step by step. The blood that had not yet cooled and solidified continued to overflow from Ma Chao's throat, slid across the man's subway armor and slowly dripped on the ground, drop after drop...

More than ten other people also stood up one after another, and didn't even look at my second brother and I. Following the man carrying Ma Chao's body, his steps were slow and stagnant...

.

After about a cup of tea, the more than ten people returned to Xinling City. A louder cry suddenly sounded from the city, and it sounded that there were at least 23,000 people.

The city gates were not closed, they were just open...

.

"It's a pity!" The second brother stared at Xinling City and said something inexplicable.

But I know that a series of things that have just happened—from the fierce battle between the two to Ma Chao’s suicide, to the death of the Ma brothers crying, has changed some of their views on Ma Chao, and even felt a little regretful about Ma Chao’s death!

"Yeah..." I nodded and didn't say anything else.

My mood is also extremely complicated at this moment——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"As you wish, my brother is dead!"————Why did he say this? There are too many mystery in it!

"Third brother, go back to the camp first!" The second brother withdrew his gaze and turned to me and said.

"kindness!"

After stepping onto the Red Rabbit and Wuzhi, my second brother and I rushed south, followed by Guan Ping and the 18th cavalry guards.

.

The evening breeze raises the dust in the sky, and it is reflected in the verdant and lonely clouds in the west, making it look so desolate and lonely.

The battlefield that was still so "lively" just now became deserted all of a sudden, and only a dozen unowned war horses were left alone, occasionally making a desolate hug...

…………………………………………………

After returning to the camp, I ordered Guan Ping and others to continue to be vigilant against the enemy in the city, and at the same time invited Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to the general's tent to discuss matters.

The second brother sat upright on the main seat, gently stroked his long beard, and his eyes looked thoughtful.

"Shi Yuan, how did you know that Ma Chao was going to commit suicide?" I first asked Pang Tong.

"What Ma Chao said to Junhou and the general just now was quite similar to his last words before his death. It just so happened that Kong Ming's thoughts were the same as Tong..." Pang Tong seemed to have some regrets.

"Do you think Ma Chao's death is a bit strange?" I told Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong the words, "As you wish, the eldest brother is dead!", and then asked in confusion.

When he said this just now, the man's voice was not very loud. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, two people who were not skilled in martial arts, must not be able to hear it.

After thinking for a while, both nodded.

"Ma Chao has not been defeated, and he is also burdened with blood feud. With his character, he should not have committed suicide like this..." Pang Tong sorted out his thoughts and analyzed it with erudition.

Pang Tong's analysis is much more comprehensive than I thought. From many aspects, Ma Chao should not choose the path of committing suicide!

"I'm afraid the key to the problem lies in Fa Zheng..." Zhuge Liang said in a shocking voice.

"Fa Zheng?" The eyes of both of us lit up at the same time. After thinking for a while, we nodded.
