Ma Teng opened the letter, and his expression became uglier and uglier.
After reading it, he couldn't help but shout,"Aren't you guys going too far?”
"I want to return to the ancestral land, but you want me to hand over all my businesses to the family?”
Ma Zi sneered.
"What's wrong? Still unwilling? The clan leader is already showing mercy by allowing you to return to the ancestral land, and you're still bargaining?”
"Patriarch's request is too much. Forgive me for not being able to agree.”Ma Teng said angrily.
"Hmph, isn't he just a commandant? Did he really think he was a general? Why don't you take a look at yourself?" Ma Zi said mockingly.
Ma Feng couldn't help but walk forward and read the letter.
The higher-ups made it very clear that if Ma Teng wanted to acknowledge his ancestors, he had to hand over all his assets or be expelled from the family.
"Dad, what's going on?" Ma Feng asked.
"I told you that your grandfather's greatest wish was to return to the ancestral land. I got someone to contact him some time ago, but I didn't expect this to happen.”Ma Teng said helplessly.
Ma Feng understood and turned to look at Ma Zi.
"Why are you so lonely now? He actually relied on robbing to make a living? What an imposing presence. In the Windraiser ancestral land, a hundred people added together is as much as my father's assets? What bullsh * t clan leader?”
Ma Zi's face flushed red.
"No matter what, the clan leader is stronger than your father, the commandant. If your father is really a general, I will kneel and welcome him back to the ancestral land.”
"General? He's just a general. Do you think my father can't do it? Sooner or later, you will kneel and beg us to go back. Now, get lost with me.”
"Hehe, I'll wait then." Ma Zi sneered and walked out.
Ma Teng sighed, suddenly feeling a few years older.
He wanted Ma Ping to move to the Ma Family's ancestral tomb.
This was Ma Ping's wish when he was alive, and it had also become a knot in Ma Teng's heart.
In the past, he was poor and his conditions were not good. He had to work hard to make a living and did not have the mood to think about these things.
Now that he was rich and had an official position, he naturally wanted to fulfill Ma Ping's wish when he was alive. However, he did not expect Ma tribe's ancestral land to bully people like this.
Ma Feng looked at the dejected Ma Teng helplessly.
He had the mindset of a modern person. As for where he was buried, he really did not understand why he was so fussy about it.
When you are alive, you will return to your hometown with glory, and when you die, you will return to your roots.
This kind of thinking was especially obvious in the Han Dynasty.
Ma Teng could endure the bullying of the ancestral land, but Ma Feng couldn't.
But what Ma Zi did just now was enough for him to die a hundred times over.
Following Ma Zi's 'ow', Ma Feng directly broke one of Ma Zi's legs.
"I'm telling you, I'm sparing your life so that you can go back and tell your so-called Clan Leader that if there's a chance, I'll pay him a visit.”
Ma Feng looked coldly at Ma Zi, who had a pained expression, without any sympathy.
This was the consequence of disrespecting others.
What ancestral land? What clan leader? To Ma Feng, they were all bullsh * t.
He would repay those who treated him well a hundredfold, and vice versa.
……
Ma Teng didn't look like he was in a bad mood, but Ma Feng knew that his father was in a bad mood. He hadn't been eating or sleeping well for the past few days.
A few days later.
Ma Teng returned home excitedly.
"Son, your father can be a general. I plan to go to Guanzhong to kill the Yellow Turban bandits and earn military merits. As long as I have enough military merits, it won't be a problem for me to be a general.”Ma Teng said to Ma Feng with a smile.
When Ma Feng heard this, his head buzzed.
What was wrong with his father? Go to the eastern part of the country at this time?
"Dad, what do you mean?"
"You know Dong Zhuo, right? He is now a general of Dongzhong and is recruiting soldiers in Liangzhou. Governor Li Mu is Dong Zhuo's good friend and asked me to bring the county soldiers to help him.”
"This is a good opportunity. As long as we can win the battle, we might be able to become a general of a mixed name.”
Looking at Ma Teng's excited expression, Ma Feng had a feeling of wanting to kill someone.
"Dad, are you crazy? Why go to the east of the country now? Aren't you afraid that there will be a rebellion in Liangzhou? A general can be anywhere, why go to the east?”
"Bullshit, I don't think Liangzhou will be in chaos. The Guandong rebellion has been going on for two months. Liangzhou would have rebelled long ago if they wanted to, but it's still quiet now.”Ma Teng waved his hand and said with certainty.
"Dad, you can't go."
"No, I have to go. I've already promised the prefect and recommended you to take my place. You'll be the Longxi Commandant in the future.”
"No, I don't want to be a bullsh * t commandant. You mustn't go. The rebellion in Liangzhou can happen anytime. If you go, our Ma family's foundation will be completely destroyed.”
Ma Teng's reputation in Longxi was unrivaled. As long as he raised his arm and gave the order, he would definitely be able to recruit many people. The various great clans would definitely give him face.
The rebellion in Liangzhou would not be a problem.
However, if Ma Teng left, Ma Feng would raise his arm and shout? What was the use?
Ma Feng's reputation was all in Guzang, so he might be able to raise his arm there. But in Longxi, it was impossible. After all, he had been in Guzang for the past four years and rarely returned to Longxi.
Ma Feng had planned for such a long time. Once Ma Teng left, it was basically all over.
"Don't say such disheartening words. If there's really a rebellion and you can't defend it, then go to Xianling Qiang and look for your uncle.”
"But…"
"No buts. It's settled. If there's anything, you can discuss it with your second uncle. I'm going back to the government office.”
After Ma Teng finished speaking, he turned around and left, not giving Ma Feng a chance to persuade him at all.
Ma Feng knew that he couldn't persuade Ma Teng, so he immediately went to find his second uncle, Ma Yi, to persuade Ma Teng.
"Second Uncle, hurry up and persuade my father. He insists on going to the east of the country and seeking refuge with Dong Zhuo.”
"I already know that your father has been here.”
"Then you should quickly persuade him. Liangzhou might become chaotic. Now, you should think of ways to protect yourself.”
"I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen. Your father has been a little crazy recently. His mind is filled with the desire to be a general.”
Ma Feng was extremely speechless. Just because of a single sentence from that Ma Zi, his father was possessed? Wasn't this too comedic?
"Xiao Feng, you've heard of the saying,'A son wants to support his parents, but his parents are not around,' right? Your father has always felt very guilty towards your grandfather. He has always blamed himself for being useless, which was why your grandfather died early. That's why he tried his best to fulfill your grandfather's last wish.”
"But Second Uncle…"
"Just let your father be. Don't you know his personality? Even ten bulls can't pull him back. Besides, doesn't the Ma family still have you? Do you think you can't control the situation?”
