Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1728: Chapter 1638: Can’t Escape Being Pursued

”Yeah, he gave me a Yitian Sword before. If Lord Cao hadn’t seen it and insisted on exchanging it with his Green Steel Sword, I would have kept it. I exchanged it with him and happened to see my brother-in-law without a sword, so I gave him one back. Anyway, I don’t use swords much now,” Ma Chao said nonchalantly.

”So you exchanged that Yitian Sword with Minister of Works Cao, huh? I was thinking of asking you for it. What a shame,” Sun Ce smacked his lips and said.

Zhang Xiu, standing nearby, kept rolling his eyes. These two guys either have a big heart or completely lack political awareness. Even he, a coarse man, understands the implications, yet these two are still joking around. He always feels that hanging around them will lead to trouble sooner or later.

Seeing Sun Ce and Ma Chao acting as if they had holes in their brains, oblivious, both Zhang Xiu and Zhang He sighed helplessly. With synchronized tone, they exchanged a glance and then shared an awkward smile.

”Hey, do you also think they have a big heart?” Zhang Xiu asked.

”Yes, more than just a big heart, there’s a problem here. I’m a bit curious why I picked him,” Zhang He said awkwardly, completely missing the speechless look in Zhang Xiu’s eyes. Speaking like this in front of the lord, Zhang He’s heart is big too.

”Hey, you wouldn’t think I have hearing issues, would you? So close, yet I can’t hear you? Being on the pirate ship and daring to say this?” Sun Ce turned his head to Zhang Xiu and Zhang He and said. But the fact he can call himself a pirate ship, Sun Ce is indeed capable.

Zhang Xiu rolled his eyes again. It’s true what they say: with a certain lord, comes certain ministers. Sun Ce is bound to lead his underlings astray, Zhang He would never say such things under Yuan Shao.

”Hey, why are you sighing, Boyuan?” Ma Chao also turned his head to Zhang Xiu and asked.

”I’m just reflecting on how young you all are. I don’t have your kind of good mentality,” Zhang Xiu said shaking his head.

Then he couldn’t help recalling when the Xiliang Army’s commander-in-chief, four generals eliminated their grievances, his uncle Zhang Ji was still alive, Zhang Xiu also had such days. Looking back now, he was really young then.

”Why do I feel like you have something else to say,” Sun Ce suddenly turned his head towards Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu mask his face with no expression, feeling compelled to admire Sun Ce’s sensitivity.

Elsewhere, Zhao Yun sped up and quickly distanced himself from the other two troops, while Ma Yunlu, who had been hiding behind others not daring to greet Ma Chao, ran out.

”Why didn’t you go see Meng Qi earlier?” Zhao Yun asked curiously to Ma Yunlu. Lyu Qiling was also somewhat curious. Based on her recent chat with Ma Yunlu, Ma Chao seems to be very good to Yun Lu. But unexpectedly, Ma Yunlu pulled her to hide as soon as Ma Chao approached.

”If my elder brother sees me, he’ll yell at me to death. He absolutely won’t let me on the battlefield,” Ma Yunlu said resentfully.

”Though he’s very good to me, he doesn’t like me fighting enemies at all, let alone being on the battlefield. Zilong, you should be prepared for my elder brother discovering you and causing trouble,” while speaking, Ma Yunlu blinked her expressive eyes at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun, confident, glanced at Ma Yunlu. Before Zhao Yun could speak, Lyu Qiling spoke for him, ”Let your brother bring his horse over, ideally with his friends, because otherwise they won’t be able to win.”

Zhao Yun stood calmly by, showing no particular expression. However, this calmness showcased his confidence in his own strength.

”Heh heh heh, my elder brother is very outstanding. If he were of the same age as Zilong, he might not be a match,” Ma Yunlu was obviously very confident in Ma Chao.

”If you say that, it reminds me of my dad. Even if your elder brother came with three more, he couldn’t beat him,” Lyu Qiling teased Ma Yunlu, raising an eyebrow. Though older than Ma Yunlu, in this aspect, Lyu Qiling never backs down. Ma Chao and whatnot, her dad has beaten him several times.

Ma Yunlu choked, then turned to Zhao Yun, ”Zilong, can you beat Marquis Wenn?”

”Definitely not, I might manage to defeat the Marquis Wenn at Hulao Pass, but as for the Shatter Void period Marquis Wenn, truthfully, even if I give my all, I can’t guarantee staying unharmed,” Zhao Yun said helplessly.

Lyu Qiling nodded satisfactorily, then smiled warmly at Ma Yunlu, ”Still, my dad thinks highly of General Zhao and your brother. Of course, I remember my dad mentioning his strongest opponent was General Huang Zhong back then.”

”General Huang Zhong, huh,” Zhao Yun thought while brushing his horse’s mane. ”Indeed strong, especially in archery. It’s a pity though, but Sunx Bofu and Meng Qi are indeed geniuses, just lacking in accumulation, making further progress difficult in a short time.”

”What about you then?” Ma Yunlu pouted and asked.

”I don’t know,” Zhao Yun paused for a while, saying, ”I don’t know if I’m strong or weak.”

Seeing the two puzzled, Zhao Yun slightly flicked his fingers, and no sound spread out further.

”In my eyes, most Inner Qi Manifestation Martial Artists are just like that, and I am just like that too. Although it seems to me they aren’t very strong, I don’t seem very strong either,” Zhao Yun sighed and said, ”Yet, in my memory, I’ve never been injured. I once tried asking General Huang Zhong for an arrow...”

Huang Zhong indeed gave Zhao Yun an arrow, and it took Zhao Yun by surprise, but Zhao Yun’s body automatically moved the Dragon Gall Spear to block Huang Zhong’s arrow, and Zhao Yun then realized he blocked it.
