After leaving Dunhuang, Ma Chao was not fast. He was not as eager as he could return home. Instead, he still had a lot of reluctance to Dunhuang, but he had no choice.

On the horse, Ma Chao thought that he entered Dunhuang last year, but now he left Dunhuang with a single horse. Except for the change in his destination, nothing else seemed to have changed.

Having just walked for more than a mile, he found that someone behind him had caught up with him. When he looked closely, he saw that they were all acquaintances. Ma Chao stopped and dismounted. Everyone behind had caught up with him and dismounted. "Wei Ping, why are you here?"

It was not someone else who came, but Wei Ping and the two hundred soldiers selected by Ma Chao from Yumen Pass and Dunhuang defenders before. However, after several battles, only half of the two hundred soldiers were left, and Ma Chao never expected them to come.

"Prince, why did you leave like this? If Brother Wei hadn't been there, our brother wouldn't have found you!"

The person who spoke was one of the 100 strokes. Ma Chao knew that his name was Ergou. Ma Chao patted Wei Ping on the shoulder and said, "You kid, okay!" He thought he was unaware of it, but this still made people discover it.

Wei Ping smiled at Ma Chao, which meant that the prefect had forgotten what I did?

"Okay, I've seen you all, everyone will go back, I'll leave too!"

As he said that, Ma Chao was about to get on the horse and leave, but was stopped by Wei Ping, "Prince, please wait, you can't just leave like this!"

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this. What was going on? Usually, these words were all said to the man. Why did Wei Ping say this too? Wei Ping knelt down in front of him on one knee, and the others were the same. "Wei Ping, subordinate, would like to follow his lord, no matter where he is, and swear to follow him to the death!"

"We all want to follow our lord and follow us to the death!"

When Ma Chao heard this, he was extremely excited and could not calm down. Unexpectedly, he didn't expect that they were going to follow him, so where would he find this good thing? Now he can only say that he only has a few subordinates, and there are no other soldiers. Guan Hai's village has people, but the people who are the village are not Ma Chao's. And Wei Ping and the others worship themselves as their main person, that is, they want to become their own private soldiers, and that is their own direct troops.

"You guys won't go back to Dunhuang?"

"Lord, we are no longer the defenders of Dunhuang yesterday!" Wei Ping said.

Ma Chao understood that Zhang Ji and Wang Kang were the prefect and the other was Sima. As long as Wei Ping and others beg for the two of them and said they wanted to follow him, they would definitely give the green light and they would do it all right away. Thinking of this, he was grateful to the two of them.

"Everyone should get up. Since everyone respects me, Ma Mengqi, from now on, as long as I eat one bite, everyone will have one bite!"

"I wish to go through fire and water for the lord, and I will never refuse to die!"

Everyone said in unison, and after that, they all got up. Ma Chao looked towards Dunhuang and thought to himself, goodbye, Dunhuang!

"Let's go!" He turned around and rode his horse away, and everyone also got on the horse and followed him.

It is not unreasonable for everyone to follow Ma Chao to the death. First of all, these people are just brothers, and they are free of worries. There is actually no difference in where they live, even Wei Ping is like this. Secondly, they think they should follow Ma Chao so that they can not regret it. Because of Ma Chao's charm, Ma Chao's ability, and Ma Chao's goodness to them, they feel that there must be nothing wrong with following Ma Chao, the lord of Ma Chao in this life, and they will regret it if they don't go, so they made such a choice.

Ma Chao took Wei Ping and his 101 people back to the Longxi Didao, and when he arrived at home, he met Liu. Wei Ping and the others were stationed in a remote place far from Ma Chao's house. Originally, Ma Chao meant to settle Wei Ping and the others at home. Although he could not have so many people in his home, he could ask his neighbors for help, but Wei Ping and the others refused. They also knew the difficulties of the lord and knew that Ma Chao would not stay at home for too long. Besides, his 100-year-olds were from the army, so there was no problem at all when they were stationed outside.

"Chao'er, are you no longer the prefect?"

Obviously, Liu still remembers what Ma Chao said before, and Ma Chao said intently, "That's right, even if your son wants to do it, the emperor will not let him go."

"Yes, I have been transferred to Luoyang and will no longer be the prefect of Dunhuang!"

When Liu heard this, he felt relieved. "Okay, it's better to go to Luoyang than to be the prefect in a dangerous place!"

In Liu's view, Luoyang is at the foot of the emperor, and the place where the emperor lives is naturally not comparable to that of the dangerous places like Dunhuang.

"My son is going to Luoyang to become an official this time, so my mother should be relieved!"

In Ma Chao's opinion, one of the biggest benefits of going to Luoyang is that it can reassure her mother.

"Yes, Wei Niang is much more relieved. Chao'er, are you still in a hurry to leave when you come back this time?"

"Yes, Mom. I have to go to Hanyang to visit the teacher first, so I will leave the next day."

Ma Chao really can't stay for a long time. He didn't go to Hanyang to visit his teacher Yan Zhong when he went to Dunhuang to attend his post. This time he said he would go and see whatever he said. On the other side of Luoyang, Liu Hong summoned himself to go there, so he could not let the emperor wait for him. This was not the last time he went to Dunhuang to take office. It would be fine if he went too late. You can try it if the emperor waited for a long time and see if there was any benefit. It is understandable to delay a few days, but it will definitely be unreasonable if the time is long.

Liu could understand this. After all, his son was summoned by the emperor and had to visit the teacher, so he naturally could not stay at home for too long.

"Okay, since you are going to meet the teacher, my mother also needs to prepare a gift. When you go, you should give it to Master Yan on your behalf."

Because Ma Teng is not here, Liu wants to prepare a gift for Ma Teng and hand it over to Yan Zhong. Whether it is in terms of the relationship between the Ma family and Yan Zhong, or in terms of the relationship between Ma Chao and Yan Zhong, these are necessary.

"No! I will follow my mother's order!"

Afterwards, Ma Chao briefly told Liu about his affairs in Dunhuang for more than half a year. However, although he also talked about destroying bandits, he did not say that he was in charge of the battle himself, but said that he was a behind-the-scenes commander, a person who gave orders to command the three armies. To say that Ma Chao's level of making lies has indeed improved, Liu said to him that he was convinced. In her thoughts, as a superior, he should not charge forward as his son said, but just be in charge and command the entire army.

Ma Chao and Liu had almost had a chat, so he said goodbye to find his younger brothers and sisters. Anyway, Ma Chao would do this series of things every time he went home. He first talked with Liu, then went to find Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, Ma Yun and others, and gave them the gifts he brought to them. This time he brought back a bunch of fruits. Dunhuang is not very rich, but after all, it connects to the Western Regions, so fruits are much more than Longxi, with a variety of varieties and a cheaper price. Ma Tie and others were very happy when they saw the delicious food, and they usually couldn't eat so many delicious fruits.

On the third day, Ma Chao left Longxi Didao and went to Long County, Hanyang. Long County is the capital of Liangzhou. In Ma Chao's idea, his teacher Yan Zhong has always lived in Long County, which has a sense of being hidden in the city. He didn't know if he thought so, but Ma Chao thought so anyway.

When I arrived at Yan Mansion, I met the teacher Yan Zhong, "Disciple Ma Chao has met the teacher!"

"Chao'er, get up and sit down!"

"Teacher Xie!"

Although Yan Zhong missed Ma Chao, he had never complained about Ma Chao for many years. In his opinion, as a disciple, you can just have this heart, just think of the teacher. Instead of smiling on the surface, but looking like a teacher to come and take a look, but in fact he doesn't want to come at all. Then it's better not to come.

Next, Ma Chao told Yan Zhong about his experiences over the past few years. What he talked about was all about how he saw injustice, how he helped the poor, and how he helped others. To be honest, Ma Chao really knew his teacher very well. If he told Yan Zhong how good he was and how he won the championship at the Yingchuan Academy Exchange Conference, that was definitely not what Yan Zhong liked to hear the most.

Yes, every teacher hopes that his disciples are talented, and Yan Zhong is no exception. But what he values ​​most is not these, but the virtues of his disciples. He can be said to be quite satisfied with Ma Chao. It is not that Ma Chao is famous, but that he truly follows his teachings and does what a scholar should do. This is what Yan Zhong is most pleased with. Seeing Ma Chao today, he felt that he could comfort his old friend Ma Ping (Ma Chao's grandfather). Under his own teachings, his grandson finally became an adult and became a talent. Only Ma Chao can be said to be a real talent.

"Okay, very good. Chao'er, you can do this and you will not let down your expectations for you!"

"Disciples never dare to forget the teacher's teachings. A real man does something and does not do anything. He always keeps this in mind!" Ma Chao said respectfully to Yan Zhong.

Ma Chao is grateful and admired to his teacher Yan Zhong and Ma Chao from the bottom of his heart. He doesn’t have to say that he is grateful, but admiration is not only about the teacher’s ability that makes him admire, but more importantly, his character. Yan Zhong’s character is what Ma Chao admires the most.

"Master leads you to the door, and your practice is about being an individual. Being a teacher is just responsible for preaching and explaining doubts. What's more important is yourself! Jin Chao'er, you can do this and have such achievements, which is inseparable from your own efforts!"

Ma Chao understood what the teacher meant. What he said before was that he would do what he usually did, and such achievements were of course referring to what he did at the Yingchuan Academy Exchange Conference.

"When my disciple met Mr. Bo Ji again at Yingchuan Academy, the disciple asked me to convey it on my behalf, saying that I hope there will be a chance to drink with the teacher in the future!"

Yan Zhong smiled when he heard this, thinking that he had not seen his old friend for many years, let alone drinking with the moon. It seems that he really had to meet his old friend again and then drinking with the moon again. Life is like this, so what else can you ask for? Yan Zhong asked Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan, Xun Shuang and others now. Ma Chao told the teacher one by one what he saw and heard.

"Time makes people grow old. Now we are all at this age. We may not find a chance to meet you again, and we may never see you again in the future!"

When Ma Chao heard this, why did the teacher say that? Now, these people are in good health.

"It's not a difficult task for the teacher to see a few gentlemen. But the teacher's orders are different, and all disciples will obey their efforts!"

Ma Chao meant that if the teacher had something to do, just send him whatever he needed to do. Yan Zhong nodded, "I have nothing to do now. If there is something to do, you can't hide even if you want!"

Ma Chao raised his eyebrows, and the teacher rarely said such half-joking words. It seems that the teacher is in a good mood today. What his teacher said is good. If he wants to find him, he can only find himself. He is his only disciple. If he doesn't look for him, he may even go to outsiders.

The two talked until dinner time, and after dinner, Ma Chao said to Yan Zhong: "I have also dabbled in some medical books over the years and want to see them for the teacher."

Ma Chao knows that his teacher is, you can say whatever you have. Just don’t just talk around the bush.

Yan Zhong understood what his disciple meant as soon as he heard it. It seemed that his disciples had worried about his previous words. He was not a person who was afraid of medical treatment, and although he was not sick, Yan Zhong understood Ma Chao's intentions and agreed.

After reading Yan Zhong, Ma Chao did not find any problem. Maybe his level was not good? Bah, bah, what do you think? The teacher is best, so he feels much more at ease.
