Cheng Yi was talking eloquently just now, and at this moment Gongsun Zhu looked at Cheng Yi in front of him and couldn't help but nodded.
He seemed to understand why Cheng Yi knew Ma Teng, who was born in Fufeng, so well.
After all, what he did before was not stated clearly, but everyone could understand it.
To put it bluntly, aren’t they just rogue bandits?
As far as their status is concerned, let’s not say whether they are worthy of being looked down upon or not.
If they want to live a good life, at least Gongsun Zhu knows about passing by to pay homage to the mountain gods. If he doesn't take care of all aspects, if he doesn't know those people not to be messed with, I'm afraid Cheng Yi would have been wiped out long ago.
As for what he didn't say before, as a bandit, he would act based on the expression of a woodcutter, and he would be too embarrassed to open his mouth if it were anyone else.
But it doesn't matter now, everyone has to beg Ma Teng...
So no one is being criticized!
Soon, Gongsun Zhu asked people to find a suitable place to set up camp. Thousands of people went to look for Ma Teng, not to visit, but to attack.
Therefore, the army was handed over to Liu Bei, and then Gongsun Zhu himself took Zhao Yun as his guard, and then took Cheng Yi directly to Zhuangzi where Ma Teng was.
Why bring Zhao Yun... The main reason is that both Ma Teng and Ma Chao are famous for their bravery, and that guy Ma Chao...
Gongsun Zhu still knows this person's character. Although he should be very young now, he is still not reassuring.
Taking Zhao Yun with me, plus I am not powerless, I can always take it out if there is no agreement.
For Gongsun Zhu and others, their luck was actually very good during this visit.
If nothing else, at least they saw Ma Teng when they came to Ma Teng Manor.
Instead of someone telling them very apologetically, Ma Teng was not here today, but went to "cut wood".
If he said this, even Gongsun Zhu wouldn't know what to do.
As for Ma Teng on the other side, he didn't know Cheng Yi opposite him, let alone these strangers brought by Cheng Yi.
Even for Cheng Yi, a little horse thief, he had only heard about it from casual places, and even mentioned it casually without knowing what the anecdote was.
Ma Teng can't remember it.
But even so, Ma Teng, who was already quite famous, did not look down on Cheng Yi because of his previous status. Instead, he welcomed them in very kindly.
His attitude was very sincere and his actions were very prudent, which made Gongsun Zhu beside him sigh with emotion.
This Ma Teng is indeed a hero, and he is indeed worthy of his reputation for being able to reach this point.
He must have his own reasons for being able to reach this point.
Now Gongsun Zhu could take a good look at Ma Teng in front of him.
Judging from appearance alone, Ma Teng has a simple and honest face, to put it more elegantly, he has the so-called air of an elder in appearance.
It's easy to trust just by looking at it.
Moreover, he also has a rather powerful voice and laughter, plus his own carefree personality, whether it is real or pretended.
In short...his appearance, appearance and temperament, to be honest, it is really easy for people to like him.
This is especially true when facing those Qiang Hu.
At this time, Ma Teng was just a small powerful man, surrounded by a group of brothers and friends who admired and trusted him. They might not even be considered his disciples.
They stayed in Ma Teng's village simply because of their trust in Ma Teng and their kindness.
As for Ma Teng, it can be said that he started from scratch and has nothing to do with the Fufeng Ma family.
Just this... I have to say that Gongsun Zhuye admires him very much.
On the way here, he also inquired again and found out that Ma Teng was indeed related to the Fufeng Ma family, but it was not recognized.
Then he did have some reputation in this land of Longyou.
But just like Dong Zhuo, this reputation was not recognized by the court and even felt a little fearful.
After all, Dong Zhuo joined the army, but Ma Teng didn't even fight for conquests, so he was more afraid of him.
But Gongsun Zhu remembered... If nothing unexpected happens, in another two or three years, Liangzhou should once again welcome a new governor.
Only after the new governor Geng Bi arrives will he officially enter this world.
From then on, it got out of hand, until he was killed by his own son...well...I can't completely blame my son.
All in all, it was a miserable death.
Looking at Ma Teng in front of him, Gongsun Zhu had not concealed his identity and had no such intention.
Gongsun Zhu knew very clearly that Ma Teng was not as loyal as he seemed.
So when facing this kind of person, he can't have any thoughts of deception, he is the local snake.
Ma Teng's hesitant concealment will only make Ma Teng feel disgusted with them, and even make him jealous and cautious.
By that time he couldn't even ask.
As for what a Jincheng County official could do in the future and whether he was capable, to be honest... he really wouldn't let Ma Teng take such a big risk with just a few words.
After all, let’s not talk about whether there are any benefits to becoming Ma Teng in this kind of thing.
Just by looking at people, he still couldn't tell what Gongsun Zhu's character was.
And if this matter fails, will the Qiang and Hu's anger be turned on him? If it is affected, it will be very dangerous.
It doesn't matter whether Ma Teng thinks about it or not. Gongsun Zhu must figure it out first. Only by understanding this can he know how to completely impress this northwest hero.
So Gongsun Zhu directly gave up his irrelevant thoughts and told Ma Teng his request.
He also told him that after the imperial court's victory, he would definitely greet Ma Teng on his couch in Jincheng County, and he would definitely treat Ma Teng like a brother.
This is actually a guarantee given to him by Gongsun Zhu. After all, even if you ask for help with nothing, you can't just talk with empty words.
And if the imperial court wins a great victory and Gongsun Zhu really establishes a foothold in Jincheng County, then things will be much simpler for him later.
Gongsun Zhu's words also silenced Ma Teng.
Unlike other times, the matter was solved in a few words.
This time, Ma Teng looked at Gongsun Zhu and the others in front of him, his eyes flickering as if he was making a very important decision.
Finally, after pondering for a long time, he took a deep breath and called out his wife and children in the back house.
When everyone came, when Gongsun Zhu was speechless, Ma Teng stood up directly and came to Gongsun Zhu's side.
"General Gongsun, today you and I...maybe we are sworn brothers with different surnames?"
