Chapter 210 Eat the Lamb Before You Leave
Chapter 210 Eat the Lamb Before You Leave
Zhang Cheng and his two companions were brought to the central military tent and met Ma Teng and his group.
But Ma Teng and others are very pretentious.
Their expressions were solemn, and it seemed as if they were a little unwelcome to Zhang Cheng and his two companions.
Gently putting down the teacup in his hand, Ma Teng looked at Zhang Cheng expressionlessly, and then whispered: "Are you Lu Bu's men? Lu Bu and I have no friendship. I want to know what your purpose is here. After you tell me your purpose, you can leave."
"To be honest, I don't particularly welcome you here because I have to consider Cao Cao's feelings."
Hearing Ma Teng's words, Zhang Cheng sneered.
This old Biden dares to act so arrogantly in front of me.
"Since General Ma doesn't particularly welcome us here, let's just pretend we haven't been here. Goodbye."
As soon as Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he took Xiahou Dun and Zhao Yun and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Ma Teng was slightly startled and quickly turned to look at Ma Chao beside him.
Ma Chao understood and quickly stood up, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of Zhang Cheng and the other two.
Zhang Cheng raised his head and glanced at Ma Chao.
Ma Chao was very handsome and carried a spear on his back.
Why is there only one spear? Mainly because Ma Chao’s brothers are not dead yet.
In the original game background, the Xiliang army was completely destroyed.
Ma Chao's brothers and father all died tragically.
Ma Chao, who survived, took his brothers' spears and vowed to use their spears to avenge them.
The tragedy has not yet happened.
The Ma family and Lu Bu joining forces may change the original background of the game so that Ma Chao no longer has to be a tragic hero.
Zhang Cheng felt uncomfortable thinking that the purpose of his trip was to save the Ma family and prevent the tragedy from happening again, but he was treated coldly by the Ma family.
Feeling uncomfortable, Zhang Cheng said to Ma Chao very rudely: "You seem to be not very welcoming to us. Now you are blocking in front of us. Do you want to attack us?"
"We are here on behalf of General Lu Bu. If you take action against us, it won't be long before General Lu Bu leads his troops here. If an accidental discharge of gunfire occurs, you will be fully responsible."
After hearing what Zhang Cheng said, although Ma Teng felt a little unhappy, he couldn't help but lower his posture.
After all, Ma Teng just wanted to show Zhang Cheng a warning, and deep down, he was still very much looking forward to the arrival of Zhang Cheng and others.
"Chao'er, don't be rude to our guests. Someone, bring chairs for the three guests."
As soon as Ma Teng finished speaking, soldiers from the Xiliang Army quickly brought in three wooden chairs.
Zhang Cheng walked to one of the chairs and sat down, while Xiahou Dun and Zhao Yun stood obediently behind Zhang Cheng.
"I'm a little thirsty. General Ma, don't you have any tea?"
Ma Teng forced himself to suppress the anticipation and curiosity in his heart, and quickly waved to the guards waiting on the side.
After a while, hot tea was brought to Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng took a sip of tea and continued, "I heard that the mutton in Xiliang tastes good. I wonder if General Ma can send someone to roast some mutton so that we can fill our stomachs."
Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Ma Chao could not help but take a step forward and shouted in a low voice: "Boy, are you here to eat at our Xiliang Army camp? If you have anything to say, please tell us quickly, otherwise we..."
Without waiting for Ma Chao to finish his words, Ma Teng gently waved his hand at Ma Chao.
When Ma Chao took a step back in anger, Ma Teng smiled and turned to his guards and said, "Go kill a sheep and cook it in the most authentic way. Then go find some Xiliang liquor so that our guests can have a good taste of Xiliang delicacies."
After the guards left, Ma Teng stood up and walked in front of Zhang Cheng.
"We don't know your name yet?"
"My name is Zhang Cheng."
"Are you really here on behalf of General Lu Bu?"
Ma Teng had to be cautious because he was not sure whether Zhang Cheng and others came under the orders of Cao Cao.
If Zhang Cheng and others were the people sent by Cao Cao to test Ma Teng, if Ma Teng casually disclosed the information, it would bring a devastating disaster to the Xiliang army.
This time, Zhang Cheng did not answer Ma Teng's question. Instead, he took out Lu Bu's identity token and handed it to Ma Teng.
Ma Teng took the token and looked at it carefully.
After confirming that there was no problem with the token, Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief.
"General Lu Bu handed me his identity token. From now on, you can treat me as General Lu Bu, because what I say directly represents General Lu Bu."
When Ma Teng nodded gently, Zhang Cheng continued, "I won't beat around the bush. To be honest, I came to you on behalf of General Lu Bu. I hope to join forces with you to deal with Cao Cao."
"Because General Lu Bu received very accurate intelligence, Cao Cao found Xu Fu and prepared to eliminate General Lu Bu and the Xiliang Army before going south to fight."
"Xu Fu wants to turn General Lu Bu and the Xiliang Army into lifeless and thoughtless puppets."
Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Ma Teng and others' expressions changed at the same time.
Everyone reacted quickly and showed indignation on their faces again.
"Is Cao Cao really going to turn us into puppets? Is Cao Cao really so cruel and mad? Is he so heartless?"
"Humph, Cao Cao turned himself into a vampire for the sake of strength. Is there anything Cao Cao can't do?"
"General, the living shall be free and the dead shall rest in peace. This is what we Xiliang men pursue. Cao Cao not only wants to enslave us while we are alive, but he also doesn't want to let us go after we die. We must fight back immediately and let Cao Cao know how powerful we are."
Ma Teng waved his hands at his men and continued to ask Zhang Cheng: "Does Lu Bu really want to cooperate with us?"
"General, if you are worried, you can take your plan and send someone you absolutely trust to follow me to General Lu Bu's residence."
Ma Teng nodded slightly and turned to look at Ma Chao.
"Chao'er, you know all about our plan. Next, you will follow Zhang Cheng to Lu Bu's residence."
"You must learn to judge and bargain. In short, this time I will put the hope of the Xiliang Army and the safety of everyone in your hands."
Hearing this, Ma Chao immediately clasped his fists towards Ma Teng and said, "Don't worry, father. I will learn how to judge and bargain. In short, I will not let you down."
Ma Chao felt a heavy pressure from Ma Teng's words.
At the same time, Ma Chao also felt his blood boiling.
Taking a deep breath, Ma Chao turned his head and looked at Zhang Cheng, "We can set off now."
Hearing Ma Chao's words, Zhang Cheng shook his head and said, "No hurry, eat the mutton first and then leave."
