Compared with the panic on the walls of Chang'an, there was a happy and lively scene in the Ma family's Chinese army tent.
Coal stoves were burning around the big tent, and a bonfire was set up in the center to roast the whole sheep.
The temperature was enough to drive away the cold of early winter.
Not to mention, everyone in the big tent was actually drinking distilled liquor that could definitely ward off the cold.
"Eldest nephew, although you are not very old, you have fought a lot of wars.
If you eat meat and drink like this, aren't you afraid of Chang'an County soldiers attacking the camp in the middle of the night?"
Rigu Deji looked at the whole sheep meat on the fire rack with eager eyes.
The grease was simmering, and splashed into the campfire drop by drop, causing the flames to jump violently, and the saliva from the mouth almost flowed out.
"It doesn't matter."
Ma Chao, who was sitting in the main seat, waved his big hand very boldly and said rudely: "If Lu Bu or Xu Rong were defending the city, I would be more careful.
But those who can only brag to the sky, but don't even dare to kill chickens The taxi men are guarding the city, hehe."
Although this is said, in fact, Ma Chao's main combat forces, such as Pang De's Xiliang cavalry, Xu Huang's heavy armored cavalry, Gao Shun's heavy armored infantry and trapped troops, and Zhang Liao's Yanbei cavalry, are all According to Ma Chao's instructions, the Ma family's camp has been strictly guarded.
However, Ma Chao knew that in front of these Qiang elders, he had to be polite when it was time to be polite, which would make it easier for them to get closer to each other.
After finishing speaking, Ma Chao dipped a homemade brush into the sauce he prepared by himself and carefully brushed it over the roasted lamb.
At this time, the fat of the roasted lamb was mixed with the Ma family's secret sauce, and then roasted by the flames.
The aroma suddenly wafted out, making everyone in the big tent salivate.
"Niece, please tell your aunt what good stuff is in your sauce and why it smells so good."
The person who spoke was naturally Baima Qiang Zhong Yuqiang's wife.
I saw her not caring about the defense of men and women in the Han Dynasty, lying down next to Ma Chao, and using her nose to smell the sauce in Ma Chao's hand.
"Auntie, these are all good things I got from the Western Regions."
Ma Chao is no longer a virgin.
To be honest, he is very attracted to Zhong Yuqiang, a mature woman in her early thirties who is full of exotic wildness.
Feeling.
However, seeing that Zhong Yuqiang's face had turned a little dark, he took the initiative to hand the sauce in his hand to Zhong Yuqiang's wife, avoiding close contact between the two, and continued: "But don't worry, aunt, these things I have already saved the seeds.
When they grow in Fufeng next year, I will definitely ask my subordinates to send them to you to try."
"Good nephew, my aunt likes a bold man like you.
If your sister wasn't still young, my aunt would have decided to marry her to you."
Zhong Yuqiang's wife's tone was a little strange at this time, although she still held the sauce in her hand. , but his eyes were watching Ma Chao's reaction.
"Yes, Lao Zhong planted the seed too late, so his daughter is only nine years old now.
However, we Qiang people have many beautiful girls, who are no worse than Han women.
They can also ride horses and kill enemies better than those delicate ones.
But the useless Han women are much stronger, Chaoer, you.
My uncle will look for one for you in the next few days, and he will send it to you in a few days."
The person who said this was Duotamu, the leader of the Yellow Niu Qiang whose son was kidnapped by Ma Chao.
But now that he has not seen his son for more than a year, Instead, he regarded Ma Chao as his idol, and he is still drooling on the sidelines.
"You are almost forty-five, and your son is only five years old this year, and you still have the nerve to criticize me."
Zhong Yuqiang was full of gangster spirit, and naturally refused to let Duotamu run away, so he retorted.
But after he finished speaking, he changed his subject and said to Ma Chao: "However, Duotamu is right.
Those women from the Qiang tribe, Chao'er, you can say whatever you want.
Whichever one you like, your uncle will personally I’m going to propose marriage to you.
If anyone dares to refuse, I’ll kidnap you and bring him back.”
At this time, Ma Chao would be really stupid if he hadn't heard what these Qiang leaders meant.
But for such a thing, besides smiling bitterly, he really didn't know how to respond.
In traditional ancient society, everyone believed that no matter how close a relationship is, it cannot be as close as a blood relationship.
Therefore, people who are not related by blood like to use pseudo-blood and quasi-blood relationships such as sworn homage, adoption, and recognition of godfathers to determine the relationship between the two parties.

If there is no such blood relationship, people will feel uneasy.
And what is stronger than these pseudo-blood relationships and quasi-blood relationships is naturally marriage.
Ma Chao can now be said to be the food and clothing parent of 300,000 Qiang herdsmen.
Through the increasingly powerful Han-Qiang trading house, these Qiang herdsmen have spent two winters in peace and safety.
Only a handful of herdsmen and livestock have died of freezing or starvation. , in the history of the Qiang people, this is simply greater than the power of ghosts and gods.
The title of General Tianwei is no longer a title of bravery among the Qiang people, but has gradually transformed into a deified respect.
Especially these leaders who have had friendship with Ma Chao and have lived a prosperous life by relying on their shares in the Han-Qiang Exchange, they naturally hope to hold on to Ma Chao tightly and make Ma Chao identify with the Qiang people.
To gain this sense of recognition, they thought of making Ma Chao the Qiang son-in-law.
Therefore, Zhong Yuqiang's wife, Zhong Yuqiang, Duotamu and others seemed to be joking, but in fact they just wanted to test Ma Chao's tone in advance.
Ma Chao had no choice but to look around and say: "Uncles, Chao has long said that there is Qiang blood flowing on Chao's body.
Chao still understands your thoughts.
After this feint attack on Chang'an, Chao I am going back to Fufeng for the wedding, and I hope all my uncles and aunts will come to finish the wedding banquet."
After hearing this, everyone said lightly, Zhong Yuqiang's wife was more eye-catching, and while feeling disappointed, she also congratulated Ma Chao.
The leaders who reacted naturally also congratulated him and encouraged him to drink.
However, while persuading them to drink, these gentlemen were still looking wildly at each other, clearly communicating with their eyes.
Looking at this reaction, Ma Chaoyun knew that these Qiang leaders had not completely given up on finding him a wife.
However, at this time, Ma Chao could not speak too harshly and hurt the harmony between the Ma family and the Qiang people.
He simply pretended not to understand and drank the kumiss in his hand frequently, which attracted bursts of generous praise from the leaders.
By this time, the whole lamb dipped in sauce had been roasted.
The hot aroma of the cut skin and meat hooked everyone's noses, and they all took out the daggers in their hands to feast.
After actually putting the slightly crispy roasted mutton into their mouths, everyone found that as their teeth closed, the fragrant oil and spicy and refreshing sauce were immediately mixed into their mouths.
They all couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.
Face enjoyment.
Especially Zhong Yuqiang's wife, after taking a bite, she first screamed in surprise, and then said vaguely to Ma Chao: "Niece, you must remember to give your aunt some of that sauce."
"I didn't expect that we have been eating mutton all our lives, and this is the first time we discovered that this mutton can actually be so delicious."
The old guy Hun Tu was also beaming with joy.
Just after he finished speaking, he cut off a large piece of meat with a knife.
"Uncles and uncles, Chao would like to thank you for helping the Ma family again.
Chao hereby promises that as long as Chao is alive, the Han and Qiang people will always be one family.
Even if Chao is gone, the descendants of the Ma family will still be together.
We must follow this admonition carefully, and the Han and Qiang families will never fight each other and move forward with common prosperity."
Seeing that the time had come, Ma Chao stood up, held up kumiss and made a speech.
"Let's do it."
The leaders agreed loudly and said loudly: "We will never fight, and we will move forward with common prosperity." s: I’ll work hard and I should be able to make another update:
