"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.
