Ma Chao suddenly felt that he had the potential to be a charlatan. Seeing that he had made Sun Ce now, he was almost worshipping him. In fact, he felt good about himself. The reason why Sun Ce believed him was because he was too young and had no experience yet, Cheng Pu and the others were not here. More importantly, at this time, Sun Ce could be said that he was at the most downturn in his life.

First, his father died early, and then he could only take his father's four subordinates to explore the world alone. But is it easier to live under someone else's roof? Only Sun Ce knew the most about these things. If Yuan Shu could really value him, value him, and treat him well, then Sun Ce would not be like he is now, and he would be eager to start his own business, break away from Yuan Shu, and then really make a career by himself.

But he knew in his heart that Yuan Shu was just using himself. Seeing that his martial arts were pretty good, he was able to fight well, which was exactly what his subordinates lacked. And when he was still useful to him, he could naturally use himself. But when he was really useless one day, he would definitely kick away with one kick. That's all.

Sun Ce thought he had made a lot of contributions for him, Yuan Shu, and was definitely no worse than any of his subordinates, but now he was all like this. Not to mention that compared with the generals under him, he was actually better than ordinary soldiers now. How could he be worthy of his father and have the wisdom and courage to defeat his father? So can he be willing to do so? He must not be willing to do so. No one with a little thought will be willing, let alone Sun Ce and Sun Bofu.

At this moment, he met Ma Chao, and Ma Chao firmly said to him that he could help him achieve his wish. So Sun Ce naturally believed it. The key is that if Ma Chao was really a liar, Sun Ce felt that he had nothing to be deceived by him. So for a poor and innocent person like him, how could a liar come up? So Sun Ce believed it all at once. Because the other party could not get any benefits from him, he could only really help him, otherwise it would be for what else.

Sun Ce would never have thought that the person in front of him was Liangzhou Muma Chao and Ma Mengqi, otherwise he would have to think a lot.

After hearing Sun Ce's words, Ma Chao smiled, "Bo Fu doesn't have to belittle himself. You are not stupid! But today I want to say that the five hundred gold here is what I gave to you, and you will definitely use it in the future. But what can really help you is not these yellow and white things, but it!"

As he said that, Ma Chao pointed to the wooden box. To talk about the five hundred gold (Note 1), Ma Chao really took a lot of effort to bring it from Liangzhou. In fact, for him, five hundred gold is not too big or too big, but the war horses could not bear it. So from Longxian to Shouchun, Ma Chao changed three horses in a row, and they were all top-notch horses from Liangzhou. In the end, he took twice as long as he usually arrived in Shouchun. As for the horses, except for the horses they brought in Liangzhou, the others were bought along the way.

There are naturally good horses in other places. However, the price is indeed quite high compared to Liangzhou, and it is several times the price. But for the rich man Ma Chao, what he lacks is money. And such a big burden. Apart from Ma Chao himself, no one knows what it is to put it in. If someone really knows that there is 500 gold in it, he will probably be in trouble all the way. Fortunately, who knows that this person is on the road with 500 gold? It's probably not like this.

After saying that, Ma Chao picked up the wooden box on the ground, and Sun Ce asked in confusion: "Sir, I don't know what this is?"

Ma Chao shook his head with a smile, "Bo Fu, you can ask others with this item, probably you may not recognize it very much!"

As a result, after Ma Chao opened the wooden box, he directly gave the imperial seal to Sun Ce. Sun Ce really didn't know this, but he knew that it should be a jade seal, but he never thought that it could be the emperor's imperial seal. This is not to say that Sun Ce was ignorant. After all, Sun Ce did not read a lot of books, just practicing martial arts. And he really never heard of the imperial seal. He naturally heard of the imperial seal, but he had never heard of what it looked like. As for the characters engraved on it and a corner inlaid with gold, he really didn't understand it.

But I don’t know, but it doesn’t mean that Sun Ce doesn’t know that the jade seal is a treasure, so he hurriedly said: “Sir, this is not something! How can Ce…”

Ma Chao waved his hand and smiled, then said, "Bo Fu, this thing is actually just a good stone to you and me, but for him, Yuan Gaolu, it is a huge treasure!"

When Sun Ce heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Sir, do you mean Yuan Gaolu likes this thing?"

Ma Chao nodded, "Yes, it's true that Yuan Gaolu is particularly fond of this thing! In his place, this thing can be exchanged for at least 5,000 people!"

Ma Chao thought to himself that three thousand is still a little short, five thousand is absolutely no problem. Sure enough, when Sun Ce heard that five thousand people were, he finally understood why this gentleman said that before.

"Sir, do you think this is true?"

"No vain words!"

Sun Ce quickly bowed to Ma Chao deeply and said, "Tei cannot repay his great kindness today. If he can achieve something in the future, he will definitely repay his kindness today!"

Ma Chao shook his head and looked into the distance, as if he was talking to himself, but in fact he said to Sun Ce: "In the past, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, received the kindness of the mother of Piao's mother for food, and then Xin made a wish that Piao's mother, 'I will repay you with a heavy reward'! Who knew that Piao's mother was furious when she heard this and scolded, 'A real man cannot eat himself. I am sorry for the prince's grandson to eat, how can I repay you?'"

When Sun Ce heard this, he was ashamed, because he was right, and he didn't help him to repay him.

He immediately said, "Ce has received the teachings. Ce must remember the kindness of sir today!"

Ma Chao nodded, "I have a good relationship with Ling Zun, so I don't want to let his descendants fall into disgrace today. This is actually what I can do. Wang Bofu, you can do it yourself, and you must be careful in the future. Don't take such risks again!"

"No! Follow the teachings of Mr.!"

Ma Chao really didn't expect Sun Ce to repay him. He just wanted history to go as he thought, but it was all for himself. Of course, if he could get along well with Sun Ce, he would naturally not feel useless. But he had less thoughts, after all, he and Sun Ce were destined to be enemies, so there was nothing wrong with this.

"Okay, so I'll leave now!"

When Sun Ce saw it, "This, sir, are you leaving?"

Ma Chao laughed. "Hahaha! 'The world is full of banquets'. If you are destined to be together, you will meet, and you and I will meet again on the day of goodbye!"

"Take Gong to send me off!"

Ma Chao said: "Stay away and say goodbye!"

After saying that, Ma Chao led his horse and then got on the horse and left. He said that he had done everything he should do and said. So why don’t he stay here yet? If Cheng Pu and the others came here, he would really be in trouble, so if he didn’t leave at this time, he would be even more at that time.

At this time, Ma Chao didn't turn his head back and just left. Sun Ce looked at Ma Chao's back as he left immediately and thought to himself, indeed, this is the style of a master. He gave himself so many things, and then he left without looking back. He didn't even know who the other party's surname was.

But it seems that he is familiar with his father, but he doesn't know whether his uncles recognize this person or not. Sun Ce has made up his mind. When he goes back, he has to ask Cheng Demou and others to see if he knows this person. If Cheng Pu and the others are here, he probably might have recognized Ma Chao, but they didn't see Ma Chao, so they really can't be sure who it is.

--------------------------------------------------

After Ma Chao's affairs, Sun Ce had no time to hunt and practice archery skills, so he left the place with a big bag. He knew that he had to take the gold and the jade seal of the wooden box back to his residence. After all, his wealth was not revealed, and that precious jade seal was an important thing for exchanging people with Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway, so it was not allowed to be lost.

Sun Ce brought the things back to his home in Shouchun with a war horse. Fortunately, it was not too far away, otherwise his medium-sized horse would have been finished. This was already a thrilling sound, which shows how tired the war horse was. It was the first time I was carrying such a heavy thing, so I was so exhausted.

It is impossible for Sun Ce to have any mansion in Shouchun, just his and Cheng Pu’s temporary residences, but just a few small houses. It leaked when it rained, and it was really miserable. So Sun Ce made up his mind to start his own business and leave Yuan Shu. If he had been under his Yuan Shu’s account, then he would probably have to keep doing this.

At this time, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai also came back. They happened to see their lord come back and carry a huge bag with a war horse. They were both stunned and didn't know what it was. However, judging from the experience of the two, it must be a very heavy thing. Otherwise, the war horse wouldn't have been so tired.

After Sun Ce took off the bag, he said to Huang Gai, "Uncle, please come quickly, Mr. Yi, Darong and Mr. Junli, come here. I have important things to discuss with you today!"

Huang Gai said, "No!"

So he hurried to find Han Dang and Zu Mao. When there were no outsiders, Sun Ce called the four uncles. Although the four of them did not have to do this, they still couldn't resist him, and in the end it was like this. As for Junli, it was the counterfeit name of Zhu Zhi, a native of Danyang. Zhu Zhi was also one of the elders who followed Sun Jian. However, he had been in Changsha before. It was not until Sun Jian passed away that he followed Sun Ce to Yuan Shu in Huainan.

Sun Ce took the big bag into the house. Although Cheng Pu was very curious, as a subordinate, it would be better to ask less of these questions. After all, Cheng Pu knew that his lord had all his people after a while, so he naturally should explain this matter.

No, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zumao and Zhu Zhi all entered the house one after another.

Sun Ce said to the people: "Sit down, uncles!"

"Thank you lord!"

The six people started a secret meeting in this hut. As for the partition walls, maybe there were other places, but Sun Ce didn't even have a mouse here, so let alone other people.

Sun Ce opened the bag that Ma Chao gave him on the couch. When everyone saw it, they were surprised. They had to be surprised. Now, let alone money, they don’t even have much money, so they are like this. However, none of them are greedy for money, so they don’t have much feelings about these money, but they all know that this is the family’s foundation, how much food can they be exchanged for, and how many soldiers can be recruited.

But then the question arises, how did his lord get so much gold? Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi looked at each other and nodded slightly. If they were afraid that their lord would take a fork in the road, after all, how could he get so much gold at once? If he had taken a fork in the road, it would be obvious that everyone would not want to see. With the ability of a few people, if he really had a fork in the road, he would have never been able to reach the point where he was now. But the ancients said it well, "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a way." He can't use his wits to think badly and go to the road.

Sun Ce also saw that the doubts of several people were coming, so he smiled, but he thought to himself, why didn't anyone notice this box? Of course, the box was not opened. If it was opened, I guess the uncles would have paid attention.

He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, uncles, these five hundred golds are given to me by an old friend of my father, and they were not obtained from other channels!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!

ps:1 The weight of five hundred gold in the Han Dynasty was 500 kilograms, while one kilogram in the Qin and Han Dynasties was about 256 grams today, so Ma Chao brought about five hundred gold and weighed about 130 kilograms.
