This time, a nephrite came directly into my arms.
Yang Ling, who had just calmed down, was suddenly ready to make another move.
He smiled evilly and said,
"Miss Yunlu, could it be that you can't bear to leave me?"
Ma Yunlu suppressed his shyness and physical discomfort, quickly got out of bed and got dressed.
The moment she was about to go out, she subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Yang Ling.
But she found that Yang Ling had no intention of keeping her.
This can't help but make Ma Yunlu feel a little complicated.
She snorted coldly, opened the door and left without saying anything else.
After a while, there was a sound of heavy footsteps, and it was Zhou Cang who walked in.
"Replying to Mr. Ma, Miss Ma has been sent away according to your instructions."
"knew."
Yang Ling crossed her legs and nodded.
"Sir, why did you let her go?"
Zhou Cang hesitated for a moment and said with a puzzled look on his face.
Not to mention that Ma Yunlu's beauty and beauty have already been occupied by Yang Ling.
She is Ma Teng's biological daughter. If she were to stay, Ma Teng would be somewhat afraid.
"I have my own opinion, don't worry."
Yang Ling smiled slightly.
After running out of food and grass, the coalition forces were already in trouble.
If Ma Teng was smart, he should agree to surrender and join forces with him to deal with Gao Gan and Hu Chuquan.
Putting Ma Yunlu back was to express goodwill to Ma Teng.
More importantly, this can divide the coalition forces.
After seeing the captured Ma Yunlu return safely, Gao Gan, Guo Yuan, Hu Chuquan and others will definitely become suspicious in their hearts!
…
The day after Zhi County was captured.
The county government lobby in Wen County.
Ma Teng's face was solemn, and everyone in the hall was also frowning.
No matter whether they searched the surrounding villages and counties or sent people to contact the rear, there was no progress.
Nowadays, most of the soldiers only have one day's rations left. People in the army are panicked, and there are even deserters!
Faced with such a predicament, they were at a loss what to do!
"How about... we surrender to Cao Jun?"
Han Sui said tentatively.
"How can we surrender to Cao Cao?"
Gao Gan refused without thinking.
"If we don't surrender to Cao Jun, how can we survive?"
Han Sui asked rhetorically.
"Hehe, I can see that you are bent on joining Cao Cao, right?"
Guo Yuan held down the weapon on his waist and said coldly,
"Could it be that you people from Xiliang deliberately trapped us here?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?! Do you believe I will kill you?"
Ma Chao was furious and stared at Guo Yuan angrily.
The killing intent emanating from his whole body was as real as it could be, making Guo Yuan breathless.
"Ma Chao, don't be so presumptuous!"
Gao Gan slammed the table and shouted angrily.
Seeing that the two sides were at war with each other and could take action at any time, Ma Teng, the leader of the alliance, said sternly,
"Shut up, everyone! Now that the situation is urgent, we should unite as one and resist Cao's thieves together! How can we start internal strife within our own family before the enemy arrives?"
After listening to Ma Teng's words, everyone sat back angrily.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed in in a hurry.
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, Miss, she is here!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Miss?
Which lady?
Could it be Ma Yunlu?
"Father! Brother!"
Before anyone could react, they saw Ma Yunlu running straight into Ma Teng's arms from outside like a swallow in the hall.
Ma Teng was stunned.
Everyone also looked at Ma Yunlu in confusion.
According to the news sent back by the soldiers, Ma Yunlu was clearly captured by Cao Jun and fell into the hands of Yang Ling. How did she escape?
After coming back to his senses, Ma Teng looked Ma Yunlu up and down to make sure she was fine, and then he breathed a sigh of relief!
"Thank God, Yunlu, you came back safely. Otherwise, how could I have the face to see your mother?"
"By the way, how did you escape from Yang Ling?"
Hearing his father mention Yang Ling's name, Ma Yunlu couldn't help but think of the ravages he had suffered... and the joy!
An unnatural blush flashed across her pretty face, and she forced herself to be calm and said,
"I don't know, it was Yang Ling who let me back."
After hearing this, Ma Teng looked a little surprised.
He didn't quite understand why Yang Ling took the initiative to put Ma Yunlu back.
But he didn't think much about it and just said with relief,
"No matter what, your safe return is the most important. You have been suffering these past few days, so go back and rest first."
"Yes, father."
Looking at Ma Yunlu's leaving figure, Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when he glanced casually, he noticed that Gao Gan, Hu Chuquan and others on the side had guarded expressions and were communicating with their eyes.
Ma Teng's heart thumped, and he instantly understood Yang Ling's intention.
He put Ma Yunlu back safe and sound. With Liu Bao's example before him, how could senior officials and others not be suspicious?
This bastard wants to drive a wedge between the coalition forces!
But even though he knew Yang Ling's sinister intentions, Ma Teng couldn't do anything about it!
He couldn't explain it directly to the senior officials, because that would mean that there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place!
…
Seeing that the discussions could not produce any results, the military meeting between Ma Teng and others ended hastily.
After he left the lobby, he took Ma Teng, Matthew and others straight to the backyard.
"Yunlu, before you left, Yang Ling really didn't tell you anything?"
Ma Teng asked.
"He did say it, but there were so many people in the hall just now that it was hard for me to speak."
Ma Yunlu paused and said all the words Yang Ling asked him to tell Ma Teng.
"A mere son-in-law of the Cao family wants to recruit us? Yang Ling thinks too highly of himself."
Ma Chao, who has always been proud and arrogant, couldn't help but sneer.
"Brother, you can't say that."
Hearing that Ma Chao didn't take Yang Ling seriously, Ma Yunlu felt inexplicably uncomfortable and immediately retorted.
"Little sister, how can you help Yang Ling speak?"
Ma Chao looked at her strangely.
"I'm not speaking for him. It's just that although Yang Ling is a bit hateful, his proposal is our only way out at the moment."
Ma Yunlu quickly found a reason.
Ma Chao wanted to say something else, but saw Ma Teng wave his hand and said in a deep voice,
"Meng Qi, I think what your sister said is reasonable."
Unlike Ma Chao, Ma Teng has to consider the overall situation based on the interests of the Ma family.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the coalition forces. If they continue to resist, they may all be buried in Hanoi County.
Only by surrendering to Yang Ling and joining forces with him to deal with Gao Gan and the others can we have a chance!
But if he backstabs a high-ranking official like this, Ma Teng, as the leader of the alliance, will not be able to keep his old face.
This was why he hesitated.
"Forget it, Meng Qi, go ask your Uncle Wen Yue to come over tonight, and we'll discuss this matter again!"
Ma Teng finally ordered.
"Yes, father!"
Ma Chao accepted the order.
…
Just when Ma Teng was thinking about whether to surrender to Yang Ling, Gao Gan, Hu Chuquan, and Guo Yuan were also discussing!
