"General Ma, before I was under your command, I only had one feeling, fighting for the sake of fighting, every fight is numb."

"But since I played for General Wei, I have a different feeling when I face these Qiang people again."

"Maybe my Pang De state is not so high, but I do have a feeling of fighting for the people of Yongliang."

"General Wei said that one day, he will make 'those who offend me strong will be punished no matter how far away' is no longer a slogan!"

Pound's expression was passionate and his tone was frustrating, as if the grand scene Liu Zhang described had already appeared in his eyes.

Seeing his once loyal subordinate find a sense of belonging under the enemy's command, Ma Teng felt even more mixed.

On this alone, Ma Teng was a failed monarch.

"call…"

With a light breath, Ma Teng let go of everything.

Maybe Ma Teng thought about the possibility of failure, but he never thought that it was Pang De who made him see everything clearly.

"General Wei, Ma Teng has failed you..."

Ma Teng dismounted from his horse, kowtowed to Liu Zhang and pleaded guilty.

Liu Zhang was very clear about the meaning of Ma Teng's kneeling, not to ask for forgiveness, but to repent from the heart.

This time, Ma Teng really let go of everything.

"Brother Shoucheng, you...get up."

Unexpectedly, after receiving Liu Zhang's forgiveness, Ma Teng did not accept anything, and still maintained a kneeling posture.

"General Wei, Ma Teng felt so guilty that he couldn't escape, he didn't dare to get up."

At this moment, Ma Teng felt extremely guilty and had no face to face Liu Zhang at all.

Liu Zhang forgave him so easily, which made him even more ashamed.

At this moment, Ma Teng felt more deeply the gap between himself and Liu Zhang.

"Brother Shoucheng, get up."

After receiving Liu Zhang's forgiveness again, Ma Teng did not continue to kneel on the ground and stood up slowly.

But Ma Teng lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Liu Zhang's face at all, feeling both ashamed and guilty.

Seeing Ma Teng regaining himself, Liu Zhang could only smile helplessly.

For Liu Zhang, Han Sui was completely different from Ma Teng.

Ma Teng's talents are limited, and everything he can do is not a threat to him.

But Han Sui is different!

Han Sui is very good at intrigue and trickery, and he often does things by unscrupulous means. It will be a disaster to keep him!

Han Sui's forces were almost completely destroyed. After Yan Xingzhan's death, Liu Zhang's last thoughts were completely wiped out.

Compared with Han Sui, Ma Teng is much simpler.

Or Ma Teng can be described as a reckless man.

Even Ma Teng in his peak period cannot escape the fate of failure in the end, let alone now when he is in despair.

Therefore, Ma Teng's life is dispensable to Liu Zhang, and he doesn't even need to think about it.

Whether to stay or kill is all in Liu Zhang's mind.

Sparing or executing Ma Teng will have no effect.

But after all, Ma Teng has a great favor for Pang De, even if it is a favor.

Although Liu Zhang firmly believed that even if Ma Teng was killed, Pang De would never have any opinion.

Keeping Ma Teng, everyone in the Ma clan can work for him.

For example, Ma Yue now, Ma Dai in the future, and of course Liu Zhang's favorite Ma Chao!

Perhaps the essence of Liu Zhang leaving Ma Teng's life behind cannot escape Ma Chao and Pound after all!

"Brother Shoucheng, I will give you a house in Chengdu, so you can live there with peace of mind in the future!"

It is nothing to Liu Zhang to spare Ma Teng's life, but it is definitely not enough to continue to work for him.

Liu Zhang also believes that after this blow, Ma Teng's ambition to fight on the battlefield has been completely wiped out.

Ma Teng was taken aback for a moment, then immediately bent down to salute.

"Ma Teng, thank you General Wei for your kindness!"

For Ma Teng, this can be regarded as a special kindness.

I'm afraid the ancestral graves are all suspected of emitting green smoke!

Even if he was given death by Liu Zhang, Ma Teng would be relieved, not to mention that Liu Zhang not only spared his life, but also arranged for him.

"Brother Shoucheng, you should take care of yourself in the future!"

Liu Zhang's face was serious, and there was a strong sense of warning in his tone.

His patience is limited, and he hopes that Ma Teng will remember today's lesson.

"I will remember the teachings of General Wei!"

Ma Teng bowed his hands again, then threw away his weapon and sword, and chose to walk towards Liu Zhang alone.

This also means that no matter whether Liu Zhang fulfills his promise or not, Ma Teng chooses to believe and catches him without a fight.

"Father!"

At this moment, Ma Chao, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak.

Even if he had no solution to his father Ma Teng, he could hardly accept watching Ma Teng fall into Liu Zhang's hands.

Ma Teng stopped and looked at Ma Chao with complicated eyes.

It was this look that made Ma Chao fully understand what it means to truly let go.

"Meng Qi, being foolish for his father not only harmed the people of Yong and Liang prefectures, but also the loyal soldiers who have followed his father for many years!"

"Because of my own selfishness, I have been betrayed by the most trusted general and the closest brother one after another. Now it has dragged you down to this point! I am deeply sorry for my father!"

"Ling Ming is right. To fight for world hegemony and Anbang to govern the world is not that kind of material to be a father!"

Ma Teng looked lonely, with regret in his eyes.

Although everyone knows that without Ma Teng, Ma Chao still cannot escape today's ending.

But Ma Teng chose to take all the blame on his own initiative.

Ma Chao couldn't help feeling sour, he actually felt a special kind of affection.

"Father…!"

It's not that Ma Chao has never experienced the warmth of family affection, but today is very different from the previous twenty years.

"Father, don't panic, your son will definitely lead you out of the encirclement!"

Maybe it was a sudden burst of blood courage, or maybe it was really willing to fight to the death!

There was a hint of ferocity in Ma Chao's eyes, and then an extremely sharp aura erupted.

He showed Ma Teng that his bold ambitions were not empty words!

"Meng Qi, forget it!"

A gleam of relief flashed in Ma Teng's eyes, Ma Chao was already very content with this attitude.

"Father!"

But Ma Chao didn't want to give up at this point, he really couldn't just watch Ma Teng fall into Liu Zhang's hands again.

"Meng Qi, as a father, I believe in General Wei's behavior."

Ma Teng shook his head with a smile. For him, the best destination is to give himself to Liu Zhang.

Even if Liu Zhang turned his back on him immediately and executed him, Ma Teng never complained.

Ma Teng turned around and walked towards Liu Zhang again.

But after walking a few steps, he stopped again.

"Meng Qi, you and my father and son are the same, you can be the general, not the master!"

"Riding horses across the battlefield, assisting the hero to make achievements, and imitating the ancestor General Fubo may be your way out!"

Ma Teng didn't turn around, and after admonishing him, he went straight to Liu Zhang.
