Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 147
Just after Liu Xie and Xun You finished their discussions, the sky in Mei County also dimmed.After a busy day, Ma Teng tidied up his tired body and walked into the mansion.

In the past two days, Ma Teng's behavior was still the same as usual, he was still so generous and benevolent, and he didn't talk too much, and there was nothing unusual except that his face seemed a little more cautious.

But in fact, only he himself knows the cloud of doubts in Ma Teng's heart.In the past two days, the Son of Heaven really fell from the sky and caused storms in the entire Mei County. He had to brace himself to deal with this matter.On the one hand, as a Hanchen, he must try his best to ensure the safety of the emperor.On the other hand, he will also send envoys to Chang'an to find out why the emperor came to Mei County.

But these two things were not what worried him the most.He didn't know until these two days that his eldest son actually went to Chang'an without telling him, and he was accompanied by Pang De and Ma Dai.For such a big event, the three of them kept tight-lipped about themselves, which made the anxiety in Ma Teng's heart even more aroused.After all, knowing a son is like a father, and he is well aware of his eldest son's ambitions.

However, if it was just that, Ma Teng would not be so worried.After all, all three returned safely.Unexpectedly, they met the current emperor in Chang'an. Moreover, judging from the emperor's performance in the past two days, the young emperor seemed to be very interested in his eldest son, Pang De and even Ma Dai.

Such a move is far from being explained by the compatibility of monarchs and ministers.After all, people like Ma Chao and Pang De are far different from the emperor in terms of status, and they don't have any reputation at all.Moreover, such a move by the Son of Heaven made Han Sui, who was already a little jealous of himself, look even more gloomy.

Tonight, Ma Teng asked Ma Chao to wait for him in the mansion, and he wanted to inquire carefully about what Ma Chao did when he entered Chang'an that day.

It can be seen that after seeing Ma Chao, Ma Teng became even more confused.Because according to what Ma Chao said, he didn't know why the emperor was so affectionate to him. In fact, the two meetings between the two had very strong political goals for each other, and it could even be said that they were not very friendly. friendly.But that day, the Son of Heaven was in such a hurry. It can only be said that he was born with the kind of person who is open-minded and likes to make friends.

"It's not unreasonable. Think about it, the emperor lived in fear under Dong Zhuo. Although you were rude to the emperor, in general, he gained the upper hand in the two meetings. This result may make you very depressed. , but for the Son of Heaven..."

Ma Teng stroked his majestic beard and said these words with a smile.In fact, it was the first time he saw his proud son showing such helplessness.Moreover, he also knew that since he had asked, Ma Chao would not bother to lie or hide anything from him.

"But, Dad, I always feel that the Son of Heaven will not do anything good when he comes to Mei County this time." Seeing Ma Teng's expression, Ma Chao felt even more upset.But they had no news, they only knew a little bit about the situation in Guanzhong, and they had no idea of ​​Liu Xie's intention to come here, so they could only be cautious under the shadow of the emperor.

"Don't think about it too much, the emperor is the emperor after all, and what he plans is not for us courtiers to speculate on our own." Now that the matter has been clarified, Ma Teng can only treat the emperor as real and just come to Mei County for fun treat.At this time, it was Han Sui who he was more jealous of, because no matter where the emperor came from, everyone could understand how close he was to the Ma family.

At this time, Ma Teng was even thinking about whether he should take the time to entertain the emperor and Han Sui, and let his son describe his fate with the emperor in public.In this way, although nothing can be changed, at least I can be honest and honest, and I have a clear conscience.After all, the relationship between the Ma and Han families has become very delicate since I don't know when.

Thinking about it carefully, Ma Teng actually knows that this subtle change is that after the imperial edict was issued, the trilogy of the two families has changed a bit.Of course, no one dared to speak out about this matter in the current trilogy of these two families, because any guy who dared to challenge the leader was whipped by him and Han Sui to show the public.

However, then the two trilogy began to talk about who is the real No. [-] in Liangzhou.Han Sui's trilogy all boast that their general Yan Xing is the real hero of Liangzhou. After all, the Yan family in Jincheng is a family of martial arts. Yan Xing is full of martial arts.Ma Teng had also seen Yan Xing fight, and thought to himself that force was indeed no match for Yan Xing.

But how can a man in the army lose his reputation because of these things?Not to mention, in our own army, in addition to Pound, who has won the three armies, there is also Ma Chao, who is better than blue.In recent years, Ma Chao's military power has begun to gain fame in Liangzhou, and his title of Xiliang's Brocade has a faint tendency to overwhelm Yan Xing.Therefore, the soldiers of their own family raised the name of Ma Chao and began to call Xuan Han Sui's trilogy.

Such reputation disputes are often not revealed on the surface. Even if Ma Teng wanted to investigate, he could not find the source, and this kind of thing cannot be suppressed.After all, Ma Teng still has some experience in commanding troops. If you take away the spirit of the soldiers, then when you go to the battlefield in the future, who would dare to die for these soldiers?

Thinking of this, Ma Teng felt the need for everyone to be honest.But just when he was about to discuss this matter with Ma Chao, Ma Chao's face suddenly changed, and he rushed towards him, shouting: "There is an assassin!"

Ma Chao and Ma Teng immediately rolled on the ground, and then Ma Teng raised his head suddenly, and saw an arrow shooting through the oil lamp on the side of the case where he was just now. On the pillars of the hall, the arrow feathers were still trembling.

Ma Teng was a little puzzled, but he didn't panic, because judging from his years of fighting experience, the arrow didn't seem to want his life.Because even if Ma Chao hadn't thrown himself to the ground just now, the arrow would only hit the oil lamp and not himself.

But before Ma Teng could continue to think, the second arrow, the third arrow... came one after another.

The shooting this time was not as clumsy as the arrow just now. The arrows flew through the wooden window lattice like a gust of wind, and shot fiercely into the hall. This kind of ruthlessness was obviously intended to kill the people in the room. Shoot into a hedgehog.However, at this time, Ma Chao had already protected Ma Teng and hid under the window sill, no matter how fierce the arrows were, they could not hurt the two of them.

Soon, Ma Chao's yell just now had an effect, and the soldiers in the mansion rushed out for a while, and there was a burst of shouting and killing outside.A hint of anger flashed across Ma Chao's handsome face: "Father, take care of yourself." After saying this, Ma Chao suddenly walked through the gate like a civet cat, and then rushed into the deep night.

Unfortunately, after rushing out, Ma Chao found that he had no chance to show his talents.These assassins seemed to be very familiar with the environment of General Zhengxi's Mansion. After missing a single hit, they scattered and fled in a few flashes.Ma Chao was unarmed, but a man of high art and courage, he took aim at an assassin and strode after him.

The assassin seemed to be aware of Ma Chao's prestige, seeing Ma Chao chasing him, he didn't dare to fight at all, but retreated quickly while turning back with the bow and arrow in his hand and feigning shooting.Ma Chao hated him to the core, but there was nothing he could do.After all, that man didn't just use a bow and didn't shoot an arrow. He occasionally turned his head and shot an arrow, which made Ma Chao also have to throw a mouse.

But after all, Ma Chao is the brocade of Xiliang, if he can't even catch up with an assassin, it would be unbelievable.When passing through a grassland, Ma Chao leaned over to pretend to avoid arrows, but picked up a stone and held it in his hand.When the assassin wanted to shoot an arrow again, Ma Chao preemptively threw the stone and hit the man's joints hard, making him suddenly unsteady and fell to the ground.

Seeing that this was the end of the matter, the assassin immediately pulled out the dagger on his leggings, as if he wanted to fight Ma Chao to the death.But Ma Chao was well-informed, he had seen the stern look on his face long ago, and knew that he wanted to die.Hastily turned over and jumped, strode forward, and grabbed the man's wrist.

"Little thief, do you want to die?" Ma Chao squeezed the man's wrist with a slight force, "It's not that easy!"

However, just when Ma Chao thought he had succeeded, there was a sudden movement in his ears, and he dodged on the spot, only to see a long spear as if coming from the sky, firmly nailed to the position where Ma Chao was just now.The spear was extremely powerful, obviously it was done by those Liangzhou people who are used to throwing spears.

Surprised, Ma Chao looked up again, only to see a trace of doubt still appearing on the face of the masked assassin on the ground.Then, a majestic figure walked out of the night, that person was also masked in black, but strangely, he seemed to feel a little strange looking at the wounded assassin on the ground.

But to Ma Chao, it made no difference. He slowly stood up from the ground.With a slight lift of his leg, the long spear inserted into the ground flew into his hand. He tried it slightly, and felt a little satisfied, and said to the visitor: "Finally, there is someone who can stand on the stage..."

When the man heard the words, he didn't answer, he jumped straight up, and at some point there was another iron box in his hand!
