Chapter 160 Give you a big gift

It was indeed Ma Chao's army that came. A white figure was particularly conspicuous among the black army, and Wei Xiaobao recognized it from a distance.

"Hurry up and stop the cavalry in front!" Wei Xiaobao hurriedly called to the fishermen.

"Brother Wei, will they kill us too?" Ma Lian'er couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Don't worry, this is one of us."

Ma Chao galloped after Han Sui, but suddenly spotted three men blocking their way, holding hands. He quickly ordered the entire army to stop and pointed at the three men, demanding, "Who are you? How dare you stop our army?"

"General, a general named Wei Xiaobao is injured, just ahead."

When Ma Chao heard Wei Xiaobao, he laughed heartily: "After searching high and low for something, I finally found it without any effort! Take me there quickly."

When the three heard that the general on horseback really knew Wei Xiaobao, they happily took Ma Chao to meet Wei Xiaobao.

Ma Chao saw Wei Xiaobao lying in the ox cart and waving at him.

"General Xiao Ma, long time no see!"

Ma Chao led his personal guards and rode up to Wei Xiaobao, suddenly ordering, "Catch him!"

Ma Lian'er was frightened by Ma Chao and hid behind Wei Xiaobao, hugging his arm tightly.

Wei Xiaobao asked in confusion: "General Xiao Ma, it's me, Wei Xiaobao!"

"The one caught is Wei Xiaobao!"

"Let's talk it over. I'm injured and can't ride in a prison van. Why did you arrest me?"

"Hmph! Wei Xiaobao, you're such a good fellow! You used sweet words to trick us into attacking Cao Cao, only to have Zhao Yun sneak attack Chang'an from the rear and take advantage! Let's settle all the old and new scores together!"

Just as the guards were about to capture Wei Xiaobao, a team of fast horses arrived behind them. The person who came was Ma Yunlu.

Taking the opportunity of chasing Han Sui, Ma Yunlu led the female cavalry corps to Yingchoujian to find Wei Xiaobao. Hearing that Wei Xiaobao was in front, he hurriedly urged his horse to rush over, but saw that his elder brother Ma Chao actually ordered to capture Wei Xiaobao.

Ma Yunlu shouted, "Stop it!"

Ma Chao turned around and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ma Yunlu said, "If I hadn't come, you would have made a big mistake!"

Ma Chao was displeased: "Yunlu, I am your brother, how can you speak to me like that?"

Ma Yunlu said, "Brother, Wei Xiaobao has done a great service to Tianshui and our Ma family. Isn't it a mistake for you to treat him like this? If you arrest him, how will you explain to father when you return to Tianshui?"

Ma Chao said, "He used us to seize Chang'an. I will settle the score with him!"

Ma Yunlu said, "Even if we take Chang'an, what will happen? Do we have to lose Tianshui and go through the ordeal of Wuwei again?"

Ma Chao's face flushed red, and it took him a long time to utter a single word: "Ma Yunlu, are you going to turn against your brother over this person?"

Ma Yunlu said, "Brother, you know whether what I said makes sense or not. If we really want to fight, the female cavalry corps behind me is no pushover."

Ma Chao had long heard about the performance of the female soldiers under Ma Yunlu's command in the Battle of Yingchoujian. What's more, he would not be able to explain to his father after returning to Tianshui that the brothers and sisters had started a war over a trivial dispute. However, he was now in a difficult situation and refused to give in.

Wei Xiaobao stepped forward and said, "General Xiao Ma, I don't think you can catch up with Han Sui. Since Chang'an City can no longer be ceded to you, I can do you a favor. There are only 2,000 soldiers in Anding City, but they have plenty of food. If you lead your troops to attack now, Guo Si will most likely surrender voluntarily, and you will definitely gain a lot."

Ma Chao asked, "Is this true?"

Wei Xiaobao nodded, thinking to himself, "If I still dare to lie to you now, how can I dare to see you again in the future? You are my brother-in-law, we will see each other every day!"

Ma Chao rode away and led his troops to Anding.

Ma Yunlu frowned and looked at Wei Xiaobao fiercely. Wei Xiaobao didn't know why Ma Yunlu looked unhappy, so he continued to lie back and didn't move.

Ma Yunlu jumped off his horse, came to Wei Xiaobao, and asked unhappily, "Is he dead?"

Wei Xiaobao chuckled and said, "I haven't even proposed marriage to your father yet, how could I bear to die?"

Ma Yunlu ordered his deputy general to lead the female cavalry corps to stabilize the situation and assist his brother, while he followed Wei Xiaobao to Tianshui.

The ox cart was originally full of people. When everyone saw the female general Ma Yunlu also got on the ox cart, they all dodged and followed behind on foot.

Wei Xiaobao saw that they were about to reach Tianshui City. Ma Yunlu didn't say a word along the way and looked unhappy.

"what happened to you?"

Ma Yunlu finally waited for Wei Xiaobao to speak, and then snorted in a bad mood.

Wei Xiaobao found that this woman was actually starting to act like a spoiled brat, so he knew there must be something wrong. He couldn't get any results from asking further questions, so he just gave up.

After returning home, Ma Yunlu arranged for the refugees to rest temporarily in the refugee camp, and asked the female guard to help Wei Xiaobao into his room.

When no one else was in the room, Wei Xiaobao took Ma Yunlu's hand and asked, "What happened to you?"

Ma Yunlu suddenly burst into tears. "Do you know how worried I was? I led my men out of the city to look for you, but we ran into Han Sui attacking the city. After finally driving Han Sui away, I rushed to look for you, but you were out there having a good time!"

"I'm in this state now, how can I be so happy and romantic?"

"Who was that girl who held your hand on the street today?"

Only then did Wei Xiaobao realize that Ma Yunlu had been jealous all the way. He laughed out loud a few times and accidentally moved the wound, causing discomfort in his lungs and he started coughing.

Ma Yunlu complained to him, but when he saw him coughing, he quickly patted his back.

"That girl is a fisherman from the fishing village, her name is Ma Lian'er."

Afterwards, Wei Xiaobao told Ma Yunlu in detail how he was rescued by Ma Laoshi, how the officers and soldiers in Anding City bullied the fishermen, how he killed the officers and soldiers and led the fishermen to escape, and how he met Han Sui on the road.

Ma Yunlu finally burst into laughter after hearing this, and then he said harshly: "Who told you to burn Han Sui's food supplies? You deserve it."

The female guard knocked on the door and brought hot water. Ma Yunlu then helped Wei Xiaobao take a bath in the room to wash off the blood stains on his body.

"Let me tell you, this is the first time in my life that I've helped someone take a bath."

"Hehe, what a coincidence! Besides my mother, you are the first person to give me a bath."

After Wei Xiaobao finished speaking, he fell silent.

After a while, Ma Yunlu asked softly in his ear: "Do you miss your mother?"

Wei Xiaobao nodded and said, "I've been here for several years now. I don't know how my mother and Xiao Xuanzi are doing now."

The female guard knocked on the door again: "Miss, Ma Lian'er, who came back with General Wei, wants to see you."

Ma Yunlu turned to look at Wei Xiaobao: "Why did she come to see you?"

"do not know."

Ma Yunlu said to the outside: "Tell her that General Wei has gone to bed, and we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

"Miss, she's here to see you."
