Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 145 Selling Ma Chao

The looks of Ma Teng and Han Sui gave Liu Xie an indescribable weirdness.

Ma Teng was born with a good appearance. Although he was not as outstanding as Ma Chao, he was tall, with a clear face, and he carried a majesty of Han and Qiang mixed blood.Often, just standing there quietly makes people feel a sense of power without anger.However, such a burly and tolerant general has a generous and honest personality, with an image of being kind to others.

The other Han Sui, who was sitting next to him, made Liu Xie dare not compliment him with that face.His height is estimated to only reach the position of Ma Teng's shoulders. Judging from his shriveled body, his force may be ordinary.What surprised Liu Xie in particular was that Han Sui's hair and beard fell off early, not even his eyebrows.The bald head is wrinkled, and the skin on the chin hangs loose, like a winter melon that has lost its moisture.

Moreover, Han Sui's narrow eyes were also full of dullness and slowness, with a lifeless look.The attire is also tattered, looking like an old farmer.But it's just such an old man who can't be picked out after being thrown in the crowd, but his mind is very careful and vicious, and he is called "Nine Songs of the Yellow River" by people in the Kansai area!
When Liu Xie was brought in by Ma Chao, Ma Teng and Han Sui seemed to be discussing something.Seeing that his eldest son brought a group of people of unknown origin, Ma Teng couldn't help stopping his conversation with Han Sui, and asked with a frown, "Chaoer, who is this? Why did you rashly bring them here?"

"Father..." Ma Chao bowed and cupped his fists, about to explain.But Liu Xie walked around the lobby without waiting for Ma Chao to finish speaking, and then set his sights on Han Sui.

Han Sui was taken aback for a moment, and his face looked a little strange. Just when he was about to hesitate to speak, Liu Xie took a step ahead of him, looked directly at Han Sui, and said lightly: "Han Wenyue, I heard that you have been in Luo before. Positive?"

Han Sui didn't know where Liu Xie came from, he was dragged by Liu Xie for a while, and blurted out: "Yes."

But at the end of this sentence, Liu Xie smiled slightly, and continued to say lightly: "Then do you still recognize me?"

The seven characters rolled across the plain like a boulder, causing a dead silence in the lobby.Whether it was Han Sui, Ma Teng, or even the arrogant Ma Chao, they suspected something wrong with their ears for a moment.

I?
There is only one person in the whole world who dares to call me my name.The lifeless Yuan Shu in Wancheng has not committed suicide to usurp the throne, so only the emperor Liu Xie can call himself this unique word.

Han Sui swallowed.He didn't know that the undercurrent of the Sili generation was raging. When they Liangzhou Qianghu invaded Chang'an, Ma Teng's eldest son actually brought the present day?What on earth did Ma Teng want to do, or was this move just a deliberate act by Chao Chao, who has always been unwilling to be dismounted?
Ma Teng also frowned deeply for a moment. His face looked more nervous than Han Sui's, because he didn't believe that the emperor who was far away in Chang'an would appear here, and he thought it was Ma Chao's willful provocation against Han Sui. .He was about to reprimand him, but found that Han Sui slowly stood up from his seat, dumbfounded.This kind of reaction is by no means the reaction of seeing a liar.

"Yes, Your Majesty?"

Han Sui's voice trembled slightly, even with a little panic.After all, Han Sui was a celebrity in the Han Dynasty before. Although he later became the leader of the Iron Qiang League by accident and was powerful in Kansai, the thought of loyalty and awe passed down from generation to generation is still deeply rooted in his bones.

Liu Xie didn't answer, but just looked at the two of them arrogantly, as if dismissing the question.

Speaking of which, Han Sui had indeed met Liu Xie. When he went to Luoyang to report the military situation in Liangzhou, Han Ling Emperor was talking with Empress Dowager Dong, and the scene when Liu Xie met him today was almost the same.At that time, Liu Xie was by the Empress Dowager Dong's side, but unfortunately, that meeting was only a glimpse.After all, Liu Xie was not yet the emperor at that time. After hearing Han Sui's report on Liangzhou's military situation, he retired with Queen Mother Dong.

After careful calculation, it was already eight years ago.At that time, Liu Xie was only a four-year-old child. Since then, the two of them have never met each other directly.But at this time, in Han Sui's eyes, Liu Xie's appearance and that shady child merged into one, and they were indistinguishable from each other.

Ma Teng noticed Han Sui's strange behavior, and hurriedly leaned over and said in a low voice, "Brother Wen Yue. This?..." Han Sui just woke up like a dream, realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly straightened his body.

He just ignored Liu Xie at this time, and took a closer look at Ma Teng and Ma Chao, and found that they didn't look like they had known about this a long time ago.For a while, he was even more confused about the relationship between the emperor and the Ma family, and why he came here at such a sensitive moment?However, fortunately at this time, Ma Teng seemed to have reacted, and said to the guards beside him: "Go and invite Taiwei Ma Gong over here."

Taiwei Ma Rixun had been ordered a few days ago to come to Mei County to announce the appointment and dismissal of Han Sui and Ma Teng.In fact, what the two discussed today was how to reply to the court.Therefore, Ma Rizun, who was waiting for a reply, had not yet left Mei County.As one of the three princes of the imperial court, Ma Rixun naturally recognized Liu Xie's appearance, so what Ma Teng did was quite reasonable.

Not long after, Ma Rixun hurried over.When Mr. Ma entered the lobby, when he saw Liu Xie standing in the middle, he was taken aback for a moment, and then bowed his head.After he kowtowed and stood up, he shouted to Han Sui, Ma Teng and the others: "You are so bold, you dare not worship the emperor when you see the emperor, what should you do?"

"Ma Gong, have you seen it clearly, this is really the Son of Heaven?" Ma Teng still couldn't believe it, but unexpectedly, this sentence aroused Ma Rizun's fury: "Ma Shoucheng, in vain you are also General Fubo Zhongcheng, the founding father of the Han Zhongxing After Hou Yu aided the Duke, he was now ordered by the imperial court to be the general who conquered the west, but he is still so rude, could it be that you really want to humiliate the prestige of the ancestors?!"

Hearing Ma Rixun's convincing words, Ma Teng's suspicion immediately disappeared.Although he didn't know why his son had attracted the current emperor, he hurriedly got up and knelt down on the ground following Han Sui's actions.

"The minister Han Sui, (Ma Teng) kowtowed to His Majesty. He was rude before and bumped into the holy driver. He deserves death."

The two big men left their seats and performed the courtier's salute respectfully, and the other people in the tent naturally followed quickly, bowing down and bowing down.Ma Chao hesitated for a moment, then fell to his knees.Liu Xie looked at him, and then at the loyal officials of the big Han who bowed all over the place, feeling a little happy in his heart, and said lightly: "Zhuqing is flat."

Ma Chao didn't know what to say at this time, but when he just raised his head, he met Liu Xie's eyes that were relaxing.He immediately understood that this was Liu Xie's intentional retaliation for his previous demonstration. He couldn't help feeling amused, and blurted out: "Your Majesty, why did you come here from such a long distance?"

This question was on the minds of everyone in the lobby. After Ma Chao asked the general, everyone's eyes were on Liu Xie.But Liu Xie was not in a hurry. After sitting down on the main seat, he said lightly: "Since Chang'an and Brother Ma's sonorous side, I really miss young heroes like Brother Ma. ran here."

Liu Xie's words naturally made everyone very dissatisfied.Obviously, it is impossible for a big man to miss someone...especially a man, even though that man is ridiculously handsome...uh, but!This can never be the real reason for him to go to Mei County.

However, such a result seems to be what Liu Xie wanted.Because, in his sentence, he specifically mentioned that he not only knew Ma Chao, but also that the relationship between the two seemed to be very close.

This is very intriguing.

Judging from the reactions of Han Sui and Ma Teng just now, Liu Xie had already seen that Ma Chao had never told these two about his meeting with him after entering Chang'an.This is actually not surprising. After all, it was Ma Chao's private act to infiltrate Chang'an to inquire about news and contact courtiers. Naturally, it was impossible to tell Ma Teng without any results, let alone Han Sui, who was rejected by Ma Chao himself. up.

But Liu Xie sold Ma Chao at this time.Since Han Sui didn't know what happened to this matter at all, he would naturally think about it.Not to mention, this was still a sensitive period when the imperial court conferred Ma Teng as General Zhengxi, and Han Sui still wanted to lower Ma Teng to General Zhenxi.

So, after those words were finished, Liu Xie saw Han Sui's dull and lifeless eyes as expected, and finally a palpitating cold light flashed...
