Lu Dynasty

Chapter 329 Conspiracy
After Ma Teng saluted Dong Cheng, he asked angrily, "I came to Xuchang to meet His Majesty, and I'm going back to Xiliang soon. I came here to bid farewell to Uncle Guo. Why did Uncle Guo refuse to see me?"

Dong Cheng said with a smile: "I'm really not feeling well today, that's why I neglected Shoucheng, don't blame me!"

"I see that your face is full of red, you really don't look like a sick person!" Ma Teng snorted coldly, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, leaving Dong Cheng speechless, but Dong Cheng couldn't explain anything to Ma Teng , so Dong Cheng could only say nothing.Seeing this situation, Ma Teng stood up and walked away.When he got to the door, Ma Teng sighed and said, "You are not people who save the country!"

When Dong Cheng heard it, it was obvious that Ma Teng had something to say, so he hurriedly invited him back and asked, "Who does Shou Cheng say is not the one who saved the country?"

Ma Teng glanced at Dong Cheng contemptuously and said, "I'm still very angry about what happened during Xu Tian's hunt. As an uncle of the country, you are a noble relative of the country, and you are here drunk and dreaming of death. Don't you think so?" Is it to save the country?" Dong Cheng was also worried that Ma Teng was Cao's spy, so he tested him a bit before telling the truth.

Ma Teng saw that the emperor ordered Dong Cheng to preside over the operation to eliminate Cao, and immediately promised Dong Cheng that as long as Liu Xie needed to deal with Cao, he would immediately send troops from Xiliang to help.But Ma Teng didn't think about it, he took a few people passing through Chang'an and Luoyang, and I could let him pass by.If he wants to pass by my territory with his troops, am I not afraid that he will destroy the country by false routes?
Seeing the indignation on Ma Teng's face, Dong Cheng couldn't help but praised: "Shou Cheng is really a loyal minister. If Your Majesty can break away from Cao's control and restore the majesty of the Han Dynasty, you will be the greatest hero!"

Ma Teng said: "I don't really care about the credit or not. It's just that my Ma family lives in Hanlu. How can I watch Cao bully the king? Uncle Guo, look at how we can achieve great things with just a few of us now. If you can find more than ten courtiers like you and me, it will be much easier to get rid of Cao!"

"I also know that this can't work!" Dong Cheng said helplessly, "But how many loyal ministers are there in Xuchang City? Even if many people are loyal to His Majesty, they are afraid of Cao Zhiwei, how dare they take the big plan to get rid of Cao? Besides, with a passion and no position or authority, when it comes time to act, what is the use of them? If there are too many people, and they are afraid of leaking secrets. If we fail to accomplish something, we will die. But if His Majesty suffers, You and I are sinners through the ages!"

Ma Teng said: "I know one person, he will definitely help us. And he has two generals in his hands, Cao is very afraid!"

"There are people like this in Xuchang?" Dong Cheng asked in surprise, "Why didn't I know?"

Ma Teng said: "This man is also a member of the Han family. His Majesty only recognized him as the emperor's uncle a few days ago. I remember that before the Hulao Pass, all the princes were afraid of Hua Xiong and Lu Bu. He was the only one with his The two righteous brothers fought against Hua Xiong first, and then against Lu Bu. Although they failed to defeat Lu Bu, their loyalty is absolutely worthy of trust."

"You mean Liu Bei?" Dong Cheng shook his head and said, "Liu Bei is now attached to Cao, how can he help us?"

"Uncle Guo doesn't know something. Today, Cao Qiang received congratulations from all the officials in front of His Majesty. Wei Yan behind Liu Bei raised his sword and wanted to kill Cao. Liu Bei signaled to stop it." Ma Teng said, "I think Liu Bei saw Cao and the emperor relying on each other. It's too close, and I'm a bit wary, otherwise Cao would have died in Wei Yan's hands today!"

After hearing this, Dong Cheng was overjoyed and said: "It's true, I am a big man! Shoucheng will go back to Xiliang to reorganize the army first, and I will contact the ministers who are loyal to the Han Dynasty in the court, and we will punish Cao's bandits together!" Ma Teng nodded and left , Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others said hello, and came to Liu Bei's residence.

When Liu Bei came back from the paddock, Wei Yan couldn't wait to ask Liu Bei why he didn't let him kill Cao.Liu Bei explained to Wei Yan for a long time, seeing that it was getting dark, but they hadn't eaten yet.Shamoke doesn't have as much thought as Wei Yan and Liu Bei, anyway, he does what Liu Bei asks him to do.Shamoke saw that it was getting late, so he sent people out to buy food and drinks. Just as he was about to greet Liu Bei and Wei Yan for supper, someone came to report that his uncle Dong Cheng was visiting.

Liu Bei personally invited Dong Cheng in, but Shamoke murmured: "Is this Dong Cheng a dog? He came just as we were about to eat, did he come here on purpose?" Shamoke said At the time, Dong Cheng happened to walk into the door, and also happened to hear Sha Moke's words.He stood awkwardly at the door and neither entered nor retreated.

Liu Bei said helplessly to Dong Cheng: "Uncle Guo, don't listen to this bullshit nonsense, I don't know if Uncle Guo came to me so late, what's the matter?"

Hearing Liu Bei's question, Dong Cheng felt less embarrassing when he remembered that he had a heavy responsibility.Dong Cheng said with a smile: "Of course I have something important to do. On the paddock a few days ago, I saw Wen Chang wanting to kill Cao, why did Xuande stop him?"

Liu Bei was shocked and said, "How did Uncle Guo know?" In fact, Liu Bei's reaction was completely fooling Dong Cheng. With Liu Bei's city, he was already able to be flattered and humiliated. How could he be said by Dong Cheng? lose color?Since Dong Cheng saw that Wei Yan was going to kill Cao, but did not report to Cao, it meant that he had other plans.

Dong Cheng was very satisfied with Liu Bei's reaction, he smiled and said: "No one saw it, only I saw it!"

Liu Bei laughed and said, "My second brother was a little angry when he saw Cao Juyue, and that's why he did that. I'm worried that if he hurts Cao, it won't be beautiful if he hurts His Majesty!"

"If all the courtiers in the world are like Chief Wen, I will be safe and secure!" Dong Cheng cried as he spoke.

Seeing Dong Cheng's tears streaming down his face, Liu Bei thought to himself: Xiao Mian, pretend to cry in front of me, are you as good as me?But Liu Bei couldn't expose him, so Liu Bei had to pretend to be stupid and asked: "Why is Prime Minister Cao not stable when he governs the country?"

Dong Cheng said angrily: "You are the uncle of the emperor, I am the uncle of the country, and we are all relatives of the Han family, so I treat each other with sincerity and sincerity. Do you think I am lying?" If Cheng told Liu Bei directly that Liu Xie hoped that they would get rid of Cao together, Liu Bei would definitely help Dong Cheng, but Dong Cheng beat around the bush endlessly, so Liu Bei had to pretend to test Dong Cheng, otherwise Dong Cheng would sing a one-man show alone. Liu Bei is so rude!
Liu Bei laughed and said: "I'm worried that Uncle Guo came to test me on Cao's order, so I want to try Uncle Guo!" Without saying a word, Dong Cheng took out the blood edict Liu Xie gave him and handed it to Liu Bei.Liu Bei watched Dong Cheng take out a bloody thing, although he didn't really want to take it, but out of respect for Dong Cheng, he took it anyway.
