"Sworn...sworn vows?"
When Gongsun Zhu heard Ma Teng's words, he looked over in embarrassment. He didn't expect that he could still hear this word.
You know, Gongsun Zhu had asked Liu Bei before.
He and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were called each other because the three of them had a very good relationship. They were not more than brothers, but they had never really become sworn brothers.
Now he actually wants to swore sworn vows with Ma Teng here... This...
Gongsun Zhu didn't have any objections to this. He just looked at Ma Teng, and then at Ma Chao, who had big eyes beside him and hadn't figured out what was going on.
I always feel a little panicked...
"Why, does General Gongsun think that being sworn sworn to a certain family is..."
"What nonsense is this that Brother Shoucheng is talking about!" Gongsun Zhu, who was still in a daze, heard Ma Teng speak again and immediately interrupted him with a sharp shout.
"A certain family just didn't expect that such a heroic brother Shoucheng would want to sworn sworn brothers like this... such a foreign kid from a certain family.
I was just a little stunned for a while.
If Brother Shoucheng had a misunderstanding because of this, wouldn't he look down on the boy too much? "
"This...of course it won't..."
"That boy wants to become brothers with different surnames with Brother Shoucheng. I wonder if Brother Shoucheng is willing?"
"ah?"
"Isn't Brother Shoucheng unwilling?"
"Of course I am willing..."
"Come here, please go quickly and invite the three animals, put down the earth of the emperor, the queen, and the queen, and put the incense candles on the high platform.
Get ready quickly! "
Soon, this small manor became busy because of Gongsun Zhu's few words and orders.
Even Ma Teng on the side didn't know what to do.
Or...he wanted to know even more how he suddenly became a guest.
Yes, that's how he feels now.
It was obvious that he was the owner of this manor, and it was obvious that Gongsun Zhu had brought people to find him and ask for his help.
But now...it seems that he has become the guest and the other party has become the host?
This is hilarious!
However, how Gongsun Zhu completed this identity transformation, Ma Teng is not very clear until now.
But no matter what... they can't change this fact.
Ma Teng and Gongsun Zhu are going to be sworn brothers with different surnames, and Gongsun Zhu is not an honest guy at first glance.
At this moment, Ma Teng, who had long wanted to become an official, had the idea for the first time whether he should wait any longer...
However, Gongsun Zhu would not give him a chance to regret. He needed to gain a foothold in the northwest, accumulate strength here, and be fully prepared.
So Gongsun Zhu immediately agreed after knowing Ma Teng's idea.
He even directly asked people to prepare things for him to become sworn brothers today.
After all, Gongsun Zhu knew very well that brother Enruo was different from brother Xing.
Although sworn brothers can also turn against each other and become enemies, even sworn brothers are not the kind of relationship that cannot develop into fighting to the end.
But...if there is no antagonism, then we share weal and woe!
The two of them worshiped each other, and they worshiped the Emperor, Heaven, and Queen Earth, and they worshiped the gods!
In the future, if something happens to either party, the other party must do their best to save him, and it is not an exaggeration to ask his wife and sacrifice his son.
The most important thing is that if one party offends someone, the other party will not have an easy time.
But today, the two of them had their own thoughts, and they quickly arranged their animals, and then, under the watchful eyes of the Emperor and Queen Tu, they successfully knelt down and became sworn brothers.
After signing the document and meeting the family members, Ma Teng's son Ma Chao and nephew Ma Dai knelt directly in front of Gongsun Zhu and called their uncle.
This is considered to be a formal recognition of this relative.
Gongsun Zhu was also very happy about all this, and even gave the jade he carried with him to Ma Dai, and gave his personal short sword to Ma Chao.
This can be regarded as a gift to them.
Afterwards, Ma Teng and Gongsun Zhu even held a banquet for the guests.
Among the guests, there were many Qiang and Hu people, including some leaders of tribal forces.
Ma Teng has a very high prestige among these people. Of course, what he did was not a waste of time, but to inform them that he was ready to become an official.
Prepare to take your family and guests to Jincheng County to take up the post!
I don't want to fight with the Qiang and Hu along the way, so I hope that these Qiang and Hu can give me a face and get out of the way so that they can leave Hanyang County safely.
Regarding Ma Teng's remarks, many Qiang and Hu leaders present could not help but cast their eyes on Gongsun Zhu.
But after looking at it for a long time, a smile finally appeared.
The road just got out of the way!
And the mighty Jincheng County soldiers and horses also left directly under everyone's gaze.
Ma Teng has a good relationship with them, so they are willing to give Ma Teng this face.
But Gongsun Zhu was not their friend. Along the way, they were very afraid of Gongsun Zhu and the imperial army under Gongsun Zhu.
And even if they finally enter Jincheng County, they will still be in trouble.
Ma Teng told Gongsun Zhu about this from the beginning, and Gongsun Zhu had already been prepared.
This journey seemed thrilling, but in fact there was no trouble. However, it was also this journey that made Gongsun Zhu finally understand Ma Teng's thoughts.
A big reason why Ma Teng was so eager to stand with Gongsun Zhu was that he wanted to become an official.
Perhaps because he had an heir, Ma Teng no longer had the idea of taking things easy.
Of course... in Gongsun Zhu's eyes, this guy probably didn't have this idea from the beginning to the end.
Just because of Ma Chao, his thoughts became more serious after he had children.
He needs a better development, and also needs to ensure that his children and grandchildren will not make a living by chopping firewood like him in the future.
But although he has a lot of power, now he has no intention of falling into trouble.
At this time, Ma Teng was more interested in the Han Dynasty!
Ma Teng knew that his family would not help him, and he also knew how this family treated his lineage. He had no chance of relying on them to help him.
As for the forces in Liangzhou nowadays, Zhang Wen looks down on his background. Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun are examples of this.
The local officials on the other side also looked down upon him, thinking that he and the Qiang and Hu were together.
If Gongsun Zhu hadn't appeared, Ma Teng would have continued to lie dormant, fearing that he would be remembered by others.
However, his idea gave Gongsun Zhu a huge advantage.
Until he entered Jincheng County, Gongsun Zhu's face was still full of smiles...
