"Yun Chang is afraid of Ma Mengqi?" Lan Tian asked deliberately.

Guan Yu raised his head and stroked his beard: "Are you kidding me, Ziyu? There are very few people in the world who can catch my eye..."

Lan Tian nodded, "Ma Mengqi is like a tiger in peace now. Unless God gives him wings, it will be difficult for him to make a comeback. General Guan's martial arts is the best in the world, so he should not be taken seriously."

"That's why I'm curious. It's hard for Ma Mengqi to wash away his old bad deeds. He shouldn't be popular with others. The eldest brother put him in Linju mainly to frighten Cao Cao's thieves. He didn't really want to reuse him. But why did Ziyu

Is this the case today?" Guan Yu asked puzzledly.

Lan Tian sighed and said, "Ma Mengqi is also a miserable man. All his family, wife and children are dead, but he has a high prestige among the Qiang and Di. If we can treat each other with sincerity, one day my brother-in-law will send troops to Yizhou to capture Yongliang."

, with the help of this person, it will be as powerful as a tiger."

Guan Yu pointed at Lantian and laughed: "Ziyu said that he was a tiger who fell into Pingyang, but you want to turn him into your elder brother's wings. Isn't it a bit too much?"

"I am born with talents that will be useful. I don't think Ma Mengqi wants to have a talent that is useless, right?" Lan Tian continued to explain.

"What about after eldest brother pacified Yongliang?" Guan Yu asked again.

Lan Tian looked calm: "There are still alien races in the northern part of the Great Wall. They live in pursuit of water and grass, and often plunder the people on the border. We need generals to guard the border. When the world is settled in the future, we must learn from the ancestors to reopen the Western Regions..."

Guan Yu looked solemn and asked with doubt: "Is that day really going to happen?"

"As long as the faith exists, someone will complete it. If God does not leave us enough time, then it will be left to future generations to complete." Lan Tian replied solemnly.

Guan Yu snapped the case and stood up: "Well said, I will observe Ma Mengqi carefully. When Ziyu goes to Jiaozhou, remember to come and go often."

Lan Tian smiled all over his face: "My brother-in-law also asked me to supervise Lingling and Guiyang. It can't be said that it is completely disconnected from Jingzhou. Anyway, it is convenient to travel by water. I will definitely come here often."

"The schools and workshops in Lingling, and the mining and smelting in Guiyang are all Ziyu's hard work over the years. I would not trust him if he handed them over to an outsider. I recommended Xi Zhen to him," Guan Yu explained.

Lan Tian nodded, "Sun Quan lost his troops this time, and there is no guarantee that he will not come back again in the future. As long as we guard the Yangtze River waterway and prevent Jiangling from falling into the hands of the enemy, the entire Jingzhou will not be in danger."

"Ziyu can rest assured." Guan Yu was full of confidence.

"Yun Chang is going to rest first. I have to go to the post house." Lan Tian then stood up and walked slowly outside the palace.

Lan Tian had just taken two steps when Guan Yu stopped him and said, "Lan Ji's kid Guan is very fond of him. If he really wants to send me to Jiangling for correction, that's all."

"I knew Yun Chang would agree. When Ji'er grows up a little, I will send him here when he is about ten years old." Lan Tian turned his head and smiled.

"Then it's settled." Guan Yu gently stroked his long beard.

Lan Tian walked out of the room with a smile, and Gao Shun, who was outside the door, followed him. He vaguely heard that Lan Tian wanted to send Lan Ji to Jiangling, so he kept feeling depressed on the way to the post house.

"What's wrong with Bo Ping?" Lan Tian keenly noticed Gao Shun's abnormality.

Gao Shun asked doubtfully: "Just now I seemed to hear... I heard that sir was going to send Ji'er to Jiangling?"

Lan Tian nodded lightly: "Ji'er doesn't know how high the world is. He needs to find a dignified person to teach him."

Gao Shun thought for a while and said: "Uh... I can do it... If you don't obey me, I will beat you..."

"Boping's teaching Yuan'er is okay, but for Ji'er's severity, you are not as good as Madam." Lan Tian smiled bitterly.

"I will try to be stricter in the future. I know General Guan's character well. Even adults can't handle it. Ji'er will definitely endure hardship when sent to Jiangling..." Gao Shun looked intolerable.

Lan Tian shook his head, "My wife and I have discussed it long ago, but this matter will have to wait two or three years until Ji'er reaches the age of ten. It is indeed a bit young now."

Gao Shun's nervousness relaxed, "This is great, maybe Ji'er will become sensible in the next two years."

Lan Tian smiled slightly and said nothing. Gao Shun didn't seem to care about his son Gao Ling that much. The two then rode to the post house.

In the post house, Lantian met Yuan Wei, Lai Gong, and Xiahou Zuan, and asked them to go to Quanling with him tomorrow, and finally go south to Jiaozhou to take up their posts. Then Hao Pu and Xizhen expressed that they would go to Guiyang first to hand over, and then take them with them

The family members went to Lingling to serve as the prefect.

After settling back home, Lan Tian finally came to Ma Chao's door.

dong dong dong

Gao Shun knocked on the door. Although Ma Chao drank some wine under Lan Tian's recommendation, he still remained sober. He had no idea that Lan Tian would come to see him again.

"Mr. Xuan Owl, what are you doing?" Ma Chao looked confused.

Lan Tian chuckled: "I'm going back to Quanling tomorrow to confirm the departure time with them. I'll stop by to see if General Ma is drunk."

"Sir, you are interested, and I am still relatively sober." Ma Chao nodded and said.

"You don't want me to come in and sit down?" Lan Tian pointed to the room.

Ma Chao hurriedly gave way, bowed his hands and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Lan Tian and Ma Chao entered the room and sat across from each other at the table. Gao Shun stood beside Lan Tian with a serious face. It was rumored that Ma Chao's martial arts skills were astonishing, and he was worried about Lan Tian being alone with this evil person.

"I already know everything about Meng Qi's family affairs. Do you have any other relatives besides your younger brother?" Lan Tian asked softly.

Ma Chao was eclipsed: "My father and hundreds of clan members died in Yecheng, and my wife and children all died in Jicheng. Now Bozhan (Ma Dai) and I are like duckweeds in troubled times. We fear that we will never be able to return to our homeland in this life. I don't know."

Can you still kill your enemy with your own hands?"

Hearing this, Lantian knew that Ma Yunlu was gone, and Zhao Zilong married Fan to make up for the situation.

Lan Tian did not answer directly. He looked out the door and said solemnly: "My lord and I met in Xiaopei. At that time, Cao Cao's thieves attacked Tao Qian and massacred Xuzhou. I don't know how many innocent souls were caused. I was lucky to survive that catastrophe."

After coming down, Xuzhou was captured by Cao's thieves again, and the lord and his family and brothers were separated. Later, they met in Runan for several months. How many people do you think there were before coming to Jingzhou?"

"It's unknown..." Ma Chao shook his head.

"My lord had only a hundred or so people around him at that time. Because he never gave up his ambition, he was able to dominate the world today." Lan Tian said seriously.

Ma Chao smiled bitterly: "I don't have the ambition of my lord, and now I only have unforgettable hatred..."

"Today, only the lord can fight against Cao Cao's thieves. He has a great chance to take revenge. I heard that Meng Qi's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, but I see that you are quite depressed today. This is not good for the country and yourself. As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Da, you have to think more about your own tribe and your disciples..." Lan Tian advised.

"In order to escape from Zhang Lu, I only took my brother Bozhan and my two brothers to Shu. As for those who stayed in Hanzhong..." Ma Chao shook his head and said no more.

"What about the troops who stayed in Hanzhong? Are they all incompetent? So the general is unwilling to take them away together?" Lan Tian asked continuously.
