Chapter 1180 Ma Chao, who is fierce and soft-hearted?
The atmosphere of the entire Cheng'an Hall, following Cao Tai's sudden words, seemed to be blown by a whirlwind.The expression on everyone's face, which was originally smiling and feasting, suddenly seemed to enter the severe winter.Seeing Cao Tai's stubborn and upright posture and his ready expression, many of the civil and military officials of the Ma family raised their wine bottles silently, with flickering lights in their eyes.

The little sheep in the wolf's den came up and showed the courage to challenge the pack of wolves. It seemed great, but it was absurd.Everyone knows that the strong side in this negotiation is the Ma family at home.As a result, Cao Tai's body gradually began to tremble slightly as time passed, which also made him understand how unwise it would be to offend the Ma family's bottom line at this time.

Especially Ma Chao, who was sitting upright, he had remained motionless for a long time.It was as if his ears didn't hear what Cao Tai said clearly, but his eyes never moved a bit, and he just looked at Cao Tai quietly and calmly—this kind of immobility The oppression like a mountain, coupled with the heroic spirit he cultivated over the years in charge of the Ma family, became the fundamental factor for the silence of the entire hall.

Even Cao Ang, who was next to Cao Tai and tried his best to break the deadlock, Cao Ang, the default heir of the Cao family, after seeing Ma Chao's unwavering reaction, felt an invisible beating imprisoning his courage, making him He could only swallow the words that had welled up in his throat, and the complex emotion in his heart couldn't be expressed on his pale and pale face.

The weird atmosphere was still pervasive, and everyone made their movements extremely slight, waiting for Ma Chao's reaction.Cao Tai felt cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and also thought of the terrible consequences of Ma Chao's sudden turn of events.And just when Cao Tai felt that the drop of cold sweat on his forehead was about to drip down the tip of his nose onto the expensive Persian carpet in Cheng'an Hall, when his body was gradually uncontrollable and began to tremble uncontrollably.That Ma Chao in the main seat suddenly laughed!
Indeed, he just laughed without any warning, and it was still the kind of ignorant and sincerely apologetic smile: "Don't be so nervous, it's just a joke... What's the matter, are you scared by me?"

Cao Tai suddenly felt as if his heart was being trampled by [-] Xiliang war horses roaring past. He wanted to shout, to kill, to punch that young man with a bright smile on his face!But these thoughts were filtered in his mind, and after being severely suppressed by reason, he could only put away the imperial decree stiffly and ugly, and said: "For example, the matter of the imperial decree should be announced after the two parties have negotiated and settled." ..."

Cao Tai blushed very much, because his performance was very out of style, and he even started to stutter.However, the next moment, when he was about to go back to the guest seat, he realized that his performance just now was not bad - due to the high mental tension, the joints of his whole body were already stiff, if it wasn't for Cao Ang who was beside him to support him He, I'm afraid he will fall directly on the main hall.

Cao Tai's face regained a bit of rosiness when the spicy and strong liquor entered his throat.He tidied up his appearance slightly, feeling that he shouldn't lose the limelight.After all, Ma Chao seemed to be strong in this confrontation, but he still chose to bow his head to the imperial power of the Han Dynasty.Deliberately postponing this procedure is because you, Ma Chao, don't dare to tear off the face of the officials of the Han family!

'In this way, it means that our Cao family gave you this opportunity, but you chose to back down—so, as a result of this confrontation, I, Cao Tai, won! Yang Ning drank another glass of strong wine, Cao Tai said to himself in his heart.

This kind of psychological suggestion and alcohol anesthesia are indeed very effective. At this time, Cao Tai looked back at Ma Chao with a hint of condescension.He felt that he would achieve a very good success in this peace negotiation.

However, Ma Chao didn't care about Cao Tai's provocative eyes. He clapped his hands, and sixteen court ladies entered one after another. In a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere.

"General Cao is here in Chang'an. It is really a destiny. Chaozi wants to enter into the friendship of the landlord. Come, please drink this cup!" The smile is still sincere, and the greetings are also very polite.And Cao Tai's response was also very polite. Between the two of them, they suddenly looked at each other and smiled, which meant that a smile wiped out all grievances.

Cao Tai is an elite talent of the next generation of the Cao family, so naturally he often attends such vain scenes.What he said afterwards was also one set, which made everyone feel comfortable in their hearts.It was at this time that Cao Tai suddenly had the feeling of controlling the entire home court, and his confidence and superiority as a high-ranking gentry were revealed in a subtle way.

However, what surprised Cao Tai a little was that Ma Chao seemed to be making no compromises under this high-sounding official language routine.Basically, when Cao Tai said something, he responded. It made people feel that he was neither unable to cope, nor was he relying on his official authority to overwhelm Cao Tai. It was completely two young talents discussing together.At the beginning, Cao Tai thought that what Ma Chao said was good, and he was very close to the topic of the peace negotiation, but just as he wanted to lead the topic to the specific details of the peace negotiation, Ma Chao turned a corner without a trace, making Cao Tai embarrassed to pick up his teeth again.

After a few rounds, Cao Tai realized that he had underestimated this descendant of the frontier fighter.He speaks impeccably in every scene, and under careful scrutiny, every word is slippery without touching the ground.Cao Tai had no choice but to drink another bottle of wine, and straight to the point: "General Piaoqi, today is the meeting of the two parties to discuss peace. I wonder what the general's plan is regarding the ownership of Jizhou and the Cao family's prisoners of war?"

"Alas..." Ma Chao's tone was high, and his right hand waved to stop him.He seemed to blame Cao Tai for bringing up such a disappointing topic at this time: "General Cao, today we are having a banquet to discuss peace, but in fact, we want to talk about the friendship between the two families. During this turbulent time, the two families have experienced many ups and downs. Makes me very happy..."

After saying that, Ma Chao strode towards the hall, drew out the iron sword on his waist and came dancing lightly.He was originally born to be heroic, and his handsome reputation can almost make him the No. 1 big man.This time, he was wearing a brocade robe of white practice, and when he swayed it, it was like a white crane singing and dancing in the palace, making one unconsciously fascinated.

But Cao Tai looked at Ma Chao's dancing posture, but he didn't show any appreciation.In his plan, after he won the first confrontation, he should take advantage of the victory to chase Ma Chao into a corner in one fell swoop, and resolve the peace negotiation cleanly.But Ma Chao was obviously also aware of this, but he didn't talk about the peace negotiation, which made Cao Tai very suspicious.

'Could it be that he still hasn't shown his hole cards, so he can delay the time? 'Cao Tai couldn't help but think of this idea, and under the stimulation of alcohol, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.But there was nothing he could do at the moment, so he could only hold his breath resentfully from the sidelines.

And Cao Tai's guess was right. Just as Ma Chao was dancing lightly, a group of riders suddenly poured into Chang'an Zhuque Gate. When the poor horse arrived at the gate, it foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground. The knight somersaulted.

But the knight got up, and regardless of his ragged battle robe, he rushed forward to the defense order and shouted loudly: "Is there any horse?!"

"Yes, yes!" Chengmen Lingshi ordered his subordinates to bring a poor horse and handed it to the man, "Our place is no different from the south, and there is no shortage of war horses. Although this horse is not as good as the general's good horse, it is also worth it." Transportation..." Before the city gate order was finished, the knight carefully checked the box on his chest, and after confirming that it was correct, he got on his horse again and left!

"Boss...he is riding a horse on Chang'an Street, what do you do?" The pawn who was leading the horse couldn't help asking when he saw how respectful the city gate order was to that man.

"You know what a fart!" The city gatekeeper turned his head and cursed with a smile, and said mysteriously: "I ask you, the only one who can ride a horse in Chang'an City is the Lord's team?"

"You, you mean, that person just now, yes, it's An An..." The pawn hurriedly covered his mouth. He never imagined that the mysterious army he imagined would appear in a beggar's way. There was a flash of surprise in front of his eyes.

But at this time, Duanmu didn't understand, and he was even more furious: My lord, I finally understand why all the shadows hate sending letters and things so deeply.You are doing this to completely lose my hundred and ten catties of flesh!
