"Little sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep speaking for Yang Ling?"
Ma Chao stared at Ma Yunlu and asked suspiciously,
"Could it be between the two of you..."
"Brother, what are you talking about?! He and I are completely innocent."
Ma Yunlu panicked in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the outside.
"Okay, it's getting late. You should rest early. Tomorrow we have to go to Wuguan Zhonglang's tent to order some hair!"
She said and walked out, leaving only Ma Chao and the others who looked at each other.
"If you ask me, there must be some ulterior secret between my little sister and Yang Ling."
Matthew lowered his voice.
"How can anyone say that about his sister!"
Ma Chao glared at him, then smiled and said,
"If nothing else, this Moutai wine is very smooth to drink. I didn't enjoy the wine at the banquet just now. Come on, let us brothers continue!"
Ma Chao invited several brothers to sit down, picked up the wine jar, and began to drink heartily.
After drinking until late at night, they went back to their tents to rest.
…
The next day, the Chinese army was in the camp.
Yang Ling took a look at the sky outside and asked Zhao Yun,
"Zilong, what time is it now?"
"If I get back to my brother, it will be about three quarters of a hour!"
Zhao Yun replied.
Yang Ling nodded, looking at the empty place that belonged to the Ma brothers, and said nothing.
"Sir, this Ma Chao is too presumptuous!"
Zhou Cang said angrily,
"They just came over here and they dared to be late for the first time!"
Generals such as Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and other generals also had more or less dissatisfaction on their faces.
In any case, Ma Chao is now considered a general under Yang Ling.
Today, when Yang Ling's tent was closed, Ma Chao and others were late. This really meant that Yang Ling was not being taken seriously.
But to their surprise, Yang Ling didn't seem angry, but instead hummed a tune.
No one knew that Yang Ling was eager for Ma'er to do this.
This just gave him the opportunity to take care of his horse!
Just as it was about to arrive, there were footsteps outside the camp. It was Ma Chao who had arrived belatedly with several of his brothers.
Before they entered the camp, they were stopped by Pei Yuanshao at the door!
Ma Chao glanced at it, then followed Yang Ling in the tent and cupped his hands, smiling and saying,
"I've seen... I've seen General Wufenzhonglang! We came here last night. We were so excited that we didn't sleep all night, so we came late. General Wufenzhonglang won't blame us, right?"
Even ten steps away, Yang Ling could smell the alcohol on his body and knew he was talking nonsense.
"Don't worry, General Meng Qi, I won't blame you."
Yang Ling smiled and nodded, signaling Pei Yuanshao to rest assured.
Pei Yuanshao glared at Ma Chao and others coldly before getting out of the way.
Ma Chao smiled proudly and walked in with his three brothers.
However, the next moment, Yang Ling said sharply,
"Come here, take down Ma Chao and the others!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Ma Chao's face suddenly solidified.
Before he could react, a group of wolf-like soldiers rushed in and pushed him, Matthew and others to the ground.
"General Wu Guanzhonglang, you...why do you want to take us down?"
Ma Chao struggled to raise his head and questioned Yang Ling.
"Because you camp with your left foot first, and I hate people who camp with their left foot first."
Yang Ling said expressionlessly.
When Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and Ma Dai heard this, they all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Yang Ling would arrest them for such a ridiculous reason?
"I'm not convinced, this is against military regulations!"
Ma Chao yelled.
"Very good. Since you told me about military regulations, I'm going to have a good chat with you."
Yang Ling smiled coldly,
"Zilong, the army is late at Dianmao. What should we do?"
"Depending on the situation, it can range from twenty military sticks to a severe beheading!"
Zhao Yun said loudly.
"What should I do if I suffer from pointy-headedness due to drunkenness?"
"Behead in public display!"
"General Meng Qi, what else do you want to say?"
Yang Ling looked at Ma Chao.
Ma Chao opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.
After all, he was the first to violate military regulations!
"Come here, take Ma Chao and the four of them to prison and wait for their punishment!"
Yang Ling waved his hand, and the soldiers took Ma Chao and others down!
…
Not long after, Ma Teng and Han Sui, who were in the camp, received the news that Ma Chao was imprisoned.
"This traitor!"
Ma Teng almost fainted!
He never expected that Ma Chao would dare to be late on purpose at midnight on the first day.
My son is really tough.
Doesn't he know that the lives of his family, including Han Sui and all Xiliang people, are in Yang Ling's hands?
"Father, we have to think of a way!"
Ma Yunlu said anxiously.
"Your brother is seeking death, what can I do?"
Ma Teng said angrily.
Ma Chao looked at Yang Ling like this. If Yang Ling didn't take care of him, how would he be able to lead the team in the future?
Even if Ma Teng went to plead for mercy, I'm afraid it would be of no avail!
Han Sui on the side pondered for a moment, then slowly said,
"I do have an idea."
Ma Yunlu's eyes lit up and he immediately looked at Han Sui.
"Uncle Han, what can you do?"
"You have a very good personal relationship with Yang Ling. Why don't you go see him and give him some good words?"
Han Sui said slowly.
"I?"
Ma Yunlu was stunned and subconsciously thought of Yang Ling's wanton play.
If he went to find Yang Ling, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
But thinking about Ma Chao and the others who were sent to prison, she gritted her teeth, nodded and said,
"Okay, I'll go find him right now!"
Before Ma Teng could speak, she stood up and walked outside.
Seeing her back disappear outside the tent, Ma Teng felt extremely depressed and couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Shoucheng, don't worry. Judging from Yunlu's niece's attitude, I'm afraid she's already interested in Yang Ling. We're just going along with the flow."
Han Sui comforted him with a smile.
Even so, Ma Teng felt like he was pushing his daughter into a pit of fire.
…
"Immediately order the camp to break out and prepare to attack Zhi County and annihilate Gao Gan and his entire army!"
In the military camp, Yang Ling was giving orders to Zhao Yun and others.
At this moment, Zhou Cang's voice suddenly came from outside the tent,
"Stop, sir, we are discussing military matters. No entry is allowed without military orders!"
"Get out of the way, I want to go in and see General Wufenzhonglang!"
Ma Yunlu's clear and sweet voice came in.
After everyone heard this, they looked at each other and their expressions became strange.
"Hey, brother Ziyi, if you put my eldest brother in jail, I will come to find someone to settle the score."
Gan Ning joked.
"Zhou Cang, let her in!"
Yang Ling ordered across the tent.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhou Cang responded.
The next moment, Ma Yunlu opened the camp curtain and walked in angrily.
"You all go down and carry out the military orders."
Yang Ling waved his hand.
Everyone accepted the order, glanced narrowly at Yang Ling and Ma Yunlu, and then turned and left.
