Chapter 23 Ma Mengqi returns to Luoyang

Longxi is located in an extremely hidden place with 5,000 private soldiers left by Ma Teng for Ma Chao. Now Liangzhou is in chaos, and this place is very remote, so no one will find it. For this period of time, as the lord, Ma Chao has been training his soldiers every day, and the soldiers also listen to Ma Chao, the lord. They all hold their breath in their hearts, that is, they must practice martial arts well and have the chance to avenge the old lord. Ma Teng's death can be said to be their greatest shame. Although they were not on the battlefield at that time, they still felt so.

On this day, after Ma Chao trained his soldiers, he shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, I can't train with everyone from tomorrow! This time I have to go back to Luoyang. For the sake of our future and to avenge my father, I have to go back! So I may have to be separated from everyone for a long time, and Ling Ming will replace me and train with everyone in the future!!"

"Give me a gift to you! Give me a gift to you!"

Naturally, the soldiers would not persuade Ma Chao, so after hearing Ma Chao's words, they shouted loudly at this moment, and Ma Chao left in such a voice.

After returning home, Ma Chao called Pang De over, "Ling Ming, after I leave, I will ask you everything from now on!"

"Don't worry, lord, virtue will be fulfilled!"

Pang De understood very well that because the old lord was gone, his lord meant to entrust both the army and the Longxi family to him. The responsibility on his shoulders is now great, and the lord trusts him so much that he certainly cannot disappoint him.

Ma Chao nodded, "I'm relieved to hand over everything to Ling Ming!"

This is true. When Ma Chao was not in Longxi, the soldiers were all handed over to Pang De, and Pang De could be said to have completed the task very well. After all, he was a general, so it was no problem to just 5,000 people. And it was even more okay to entrust him to him. Just look at Pang De's father who was so loyal to him, it was absolutely right to hand it over to him. Pang De was a loyal and righteous person.

In fact, if possible, Ma Chao would really want to pull all the five thousand people to Luoyang, so that it would be closer to him, so that he could manage more, right? But this is obviously a daydream. Not to mention pulling him to Luoyang, even Liangzhou would probably not be able to go out, so it might be troublesome if someone went anywhere. But it would be very difficult to tell me that when Pang De brought people back, he took great risks, and finally returned to Longxi safely.

Pang De's affairs have been entrusted, and Ma Chao went to his mother's place again. After all, he will be ready to leave tomorrow, so he must tell his mother about this matter today. Confucius said: If your parents are here, if you don't travel far, you will have a good way to travel. Ma Chao understands this, but he also has his own understanding. That is, you must let your parents know wherever you go, and don't wait until you leave tomorrow before telling your parents. In Ma Chao's opinion, not only will you say that traveling must have a good way, but you must also make a good decision to your parents in advance.

At this time, Liu and Mi Zhen were chatting in the room. After seeing Ma Chao, Liu said to him: "Chaoer, come and sit down!"

"Thank you mother!"

"Zhen'er and I just mentioned you, you're here!"

Liu's mental state is indeed incomparable to the time when Ma Teng died. As the saying goes, time has changed, and people cannot always live in the same state. Mi Zhen's mental state is also good at first glance. Since Mi Taigong left, Ma Chao has been by her side, which can be said to be a great comfort to her.

Ma Chao smiled and thought to himself that this was called Cao Cao. However, when he thought of this sentence, Ma Chao didn't know what allusions there were. It must be related to Cao Cao. Should I wait for when I have the chance and then ask him?

"I wonder what my mother praised?"

After hearing this, Liu glared at Ma Chao, "How did you know that Wei Mom must be praising you?"

"Is there any better son to know my mother? Of course, I know that in my mother's eyes, my son must be the best in the world!"

After saying that, Ma Chao smiled at the two girls. I have to say that Ma Chao's face is getting thicker and thicker in front of his mother and lover, and when compared with his face, it is impossible to compare with his face. I am willing to give him a disadvantage.

After hearing this, Liu just rolled his eyes at Ma Chao, but didn't say anything more. Mi Zhen covered her mouth and chuckled there. She thought her future husband was very interesting.

"What are you doing here?"

"Ah, if you say that to your mother, I will be ready to leave Longxi tomorrow, so today I will come to talk to my mother about this matter!"

Liu nodded thoughtfully when she heard this. She was actually as expected. However, she asked Ma Chao with a hint of luck before. She also knew that Ma Chao must have left, and it was almost the same. In fact, her son had been at home for several months this time, and it can be said that it had not been like this for many years, and she was content. As a mother, she naturally knew about her son. However, she would not restrain him, but supported all Ma Chao's ideas.

"Cho'er, the so-called good man is determined by all directions. You have your ideas and your ambitions. My mother will never stop you!"

"Mother……"

"Go, do whatever you want, your mother supports you! But if you can go home, go home more!"

"Yes, I follow my mother's order!"

Ma Chao thoughtfully said, if you are really busy, you will not have time to go home. You will have no time at all. I guess this will be very difficult.

"Okay, I know you have something to talk to Zhen'er, so I won't delay you both!"

"Yes, son, say goodbye!"

As he said that, Ma Chao took Mi Zhen's hand and went out. Looking at the two of them, Liu's mouth smiled.

"Zheng'er, I..."

"No need to say much about Brother Meng Qi, I understand!"

When Ma Chao returned to Luoyang this time, he naturally could not take Mi Zhen with him. In the past few months, he was with Mi Zhen. After dealing with Mi Taigong's funeral in Xuzhou, he and Mi Zhen stayed in Xuzhou for another month, and then they returned to Longxi. But this time Ma Chao was going to return to Luoyang, but he could not take Mi Zhen away.

"Zheng'er, I wonder what you plan?"

Mi Zhen smiled at Ma Chao after hearing this, "Brother Meng Qi, I naturally went back to Xuzhou. Whatever I did before, what else should I do when I went back!"

As soon as Ma Chao heard what Mi Zhen said, he understood. Because when Mi Taigong was still alive, although Mi Zhen was his daughter's family, he always helped manage family affairs, which can be said to be Mi Zhu's right-hand man. Now Mi Taigong is gone, and all the affairs of the Mi family are on Mi Zhu's head. Mi Fang doesn't care about anything except himself. As a younger sister, Mi Zhen naturally has to help her brother share some affairs. Of course, she will also help her handle some affairs. After all, she has a business that is cooperative with the Mi family.

Ma Chao could understand Mi Zhen, after all, she could only be in it for another three years. After Mi Zhen married her, she would definitely not be able to deal with these things personally, and at most she would leave it to the servants to take care of them.

Ma Chao gently hugged Mi Zhen, "Zheng'er, thank you for your hard work!"

Mi Zhen smiled slightly, "Brother Meng Qi, it's not hard work! Besides, these are all things I should do!"

Ma Chao also smiled at her, without saying anything more, but just hugged her tightly and enjoyed the time between the two of them that had not been left.

The next day, Ma Chao and Cui An, Chen Dao and Wu Anguo returned to Luoyang. Before leaving, he, his mother, Mi Zhen, Pang De and others said goodbye.

"Mother, I'm leaving now!"

"Go, don't forget to come back and see it!"

"promise!"

"Zheng'er, I'm leaving, you have to do it yourself!"

"Brother Meng Qi, I can do it! You have to miss me!"

Only she and Ma Chao could hear the last few words. After hearing them, Ma Chao smiled at her, "Of course!" Mi Zhen also smiled.

"Ling Ming, I'll ask you everything!"

"Please rest assured, lord, destiny should do his best!"

Ma Chao nodded to Pang De, "Okay! When Zhen'er is going to return to Xuzhou, I have to trouble you Ling Ming!"

Mi Zhen will not leave Longxi for a while, but when she wants to leave, Pang De will have to escort her personally. Otherwise, Ma Chao is really worried about being in chaos now.

"No! What is the lord saying? Everything is virtue to arrange!"

Ma Chao nodded, and then Cui An, Chen Dao and Wu Anguo also bid farewell to everyone.

"Let's go!" After saying that, Ma Chao and others got on the horse, then left Longxi without looking back, and rushed towards the direction of the capital Luoyang.

Ma Chao and the other four returned to Luoyang, which had been away for a long time. They had left here a few months ago, and had been away from here for a long time. Now they finally came back. After the four returned to the Ma Mansion, they took a good rest for a while, and then Ma Chao went into the palace to find Zhang Rang. Because he understood that if he wanted to know the latest and most information in Luoyang in the world, he had to visit Zhang Rang, and no one else could do it.

After seeing Zhang Rang, Ma Chao quickly saluted, "Chao has seen the Marquis! How come the Marquis are OK?"

Zhang Rang smiled, "Okay, Meng Qi, are you back?"

Ma Chaoxin said, if I don’t come back, can you still see me, what a hell?

"Yes, Chao just returned to Luoyang today, so he came to see the Marquis!"

Ma Chao means that, you see, I just came back today, and then I was the first to visit you.

Zhang Rang understood what Ma Chao meant and knew what he was going to come. He smiled slightly and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, I know what you mean. Just say whatever you want. Don't hide it from me!"

"Yes! You can't hide everything from your wise eyes. Chao actually wants to know everything that happened since Chao left Luoyang to today!"

Zhang Rang rolled his eyes at Ma Chao, thinking that he had nothing to do, and he was quite angry and treated me as a fool, but Zhang Rang couldn't say that, "Ah, that's it, okay, I understand!"

So Zhang Rang told him all the things he had done until now. Of course, it was impossible to be everything. Anyway, he felt it was necessary and it was useful to Ma Chao, so he told Ma Chao that as for other trivial matters, Zhang Rang naturally didn't mention them because there was no need at all.

Zhang Rang also talked for a long time, and drank several sips of water in the middle, which showed that he did say a lot. After Ma Chao heard it, he knew it. Although he had heard some of it when he was in Liangzhou and Xuzhou, how could those things be compared with what Zhang Rang said at all? After listening to Zhang Rang's words, Ma Chao had some understanding, the so-called "knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." If you don't know anything, then why do you still talk about getting great benefits for yourself?

"It's a blessing! Chao thanked the marquis here!"

In Ma Chao's opinion, Zhang Rang is very interesting. It has been talked about by himself for so long, which is indeed enough.

Zhang Rang waved his hand and said, "Meng Qi, I wonder what you plan to return to Beijing this time?"

"I'm going to tell the Marquis that Chao really has no plans yet!"

Ma Chao is telling the truth. When he returned to Luoyang, he came to visit Zhang Rang first, just to listen to the latest and most information from Zhang Rang. Otherwise, he wouldn't know a lot. As a result, he heard that this was true. Many things he didn't know were heard from Zhang Rang. But this was only when Zhang Rang said that he really had no plans.

Zhang Rang nodded, he believed this, "Meng Qi, what do you think of the position of governor of Liangzhou?"

When Ma Chao heard this, what did he think? The Governor of Liangzhou? Does this have anything to do with me?

"this……"

"Hahaha, let's say that, Meng Qi, do you intend to be the governor of Liangzhou?" After that, Zhang Rang stared at Ma Chao tightly.

When Ma Chao heard this, Zhang Rang was serious, but the governor of Liangzhou could become a rank of officials based on his own qualifications? Although Liangzhou is a poor and poor state among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, for Ma Chao, this place has a great strategic significance. If he can become the governor of Liangzhou, it will definitely be more beneficial than disadvantages to his future development. But is it possible?

"I'm not hiding it from the Marquis. If Chao had the chance to be the governor of Liangzhou, he would naturally take it as the only one. But Chao is now old and has super qualifications, how can he..."

After hearing this, Zhang Rang waved his hand, "Meng Qi, you are usually very smart, but why are you confused today?"

"What does the marquis mean?"

Zhang Rang shook his head, "Okay, then I'll ask you, do you just feel that you are not old and experienced enough to be the governor of Liangzhou? Isn't it?"

Ma Chao nodded quickly. That's it. If he was young and had enough qualifications, he would have to get the governor of Liangzhou. But now, can he do this with his own way? Can he convince the public?

"Mr. Marquis, I feel that I can't convince everyone!"

"Meng Qi's words are wrong. Let me tell you slowly!" As he said that, Zhang Rang was about to start analyzing Ma Chao.
