Chapter 283: Plotting against Ma Chao
As the twilight deepened, the sky outside the window seemed to be covered by a curtain, and there was not a trace of light in sight.
"Squeaky ......"
The wait is always long, listening to the creaking sound from the stairs, Mu Shan only felt that the sound seemed to hit his heart, and he imagined the possible scene next in his mind, and his right hand couldn't help but clench to ward off evil spirits, waiting for the battle that might happen.
“…… It's you! Looking at Ma Chao who appeared at the staircase, dusty and frosty, Mu Shan's heart that jumped to his throat finally let go back, and the fatigue after the tension came like a tide, making him feel sleepy: "What, let Chitu run?" ”
"Humph!" Hearing Mu Shan mention Chitu, Ma Chao's frozen red cheeks seemed to drip blood, and the spear in his hand hit the floor, stepped inside, and said, "If it weren't for that guy who was in the way, Chitu would have become my bag a long time ago!" ”
"Ahem......"
Hearing the low coughing sound coming from beside him, Mu Shan's heart was overjoyed, and he turned around and asked, "Gong Jin, Bo Fu, are you awake?" ”
"Brother Mu, where are we?"
Mu Shan sighed with emotion: "Gong Jin, we are still in the Water God Village, and we finally escaped without danger. It's a pity that Beigong Boyu is that bastard......"
"What, you have a grudge against Beigong Boyu?"
Ma Chao's prickly words made Mu Shan's heart swell with anger, and he said-for-tat: "That's right, that despicable villain of Beigong Boyu took Xiuniang as a hostage and threatened me to go to the Ice Jade Sect to be at his mercy!" Xiliang man, Haojie didn't see it, the treacherous and shameless man is despicable! ”
"You ......" Ma Chao was furious, pointed the spear in his hand forward, stopped obliquely at the tip of Mu Shan's nose, and said domineeringly: "Impossible, who is Beigong Boyu, I don't know, it is impossible for him to do such a dirty thing, you don't talk nonsense here, and blood spews people!" ”
Ma Chao's provocation just gave Mu Shan an outlet to vent his emotions, and he couldn't care much about it at the moment, and said with color: "Hmph, do you want to fight?" Go outside and divide the highs and lows! ”
"Two, slow down!" Zhou Yu hurriedly struggled to get up, straightened his clothes, and then knelt in front of Ma Chao and bowed.
"Hmph, there's finally something interesting!" Ma Chao withdrew the spear in his hand, like a victorious rooster, standing proud.
"Gongjin, what are you doing!" Mu Shan thought that Zhou Yu was also poured into his brain by the floating lake, and his mind was not very clear, so he had such a ridiculous behavior, so he quickly helped him up from the ground and said, "It shouldn't be that his brain is in the water." ”
"Senior brother, Chai He has found it."
"Senior brother, we have caught two ferrets, we have a good time today."
The other two Taoist priests who followed Wu Yazi flew in from the window, looked at the somewhat nervous scene in amazement, and then smiled freely, and cooked their delicious food by themselves.
In the brazier, the warm yellow firelight swayed slightly, like a bud in the dark night.
"Brother Mu, I'm fine." Zhou Yu sat by the brazier, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Ma, the worship just now was not to worship you, but to worship your former ancestor, General Han Fubo, Ma Yuan!" ”
Mu Shan was also a little confused, and said, "Once? Why use the word once? Isn't he now? ”
Ma Chao seemed to have been poked in the vital point, his face turned cold, he sat opposite Zhou Yu, and asked: "You explain it to me clearly, if it doesn't make sense, I'll use your dog's head as a gun tonight!" ”
General Ma Yuan is the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Erping Lingnan, attacking Wuheng in the north, sweeping Xiqiang, and making people fascinated and reverent. Now that the Eastern Han Dynasty is gradually chaotic and the country is in danger, if General Ma Yuan is alive, he will definitely be able to turn the tide and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. However, General Ma Yuan has long since passed away, and his descendants ......"
When Zhou Yu said this, he paused deliberately, looked at Ma Chao with great meaning, and said: "A hundred years later, when Brother Ma's soul returns to Huangquan and meets General Ma Yuan, if the general asks Brother Ma what merits he can make for the Han Dynasty, how should Brother Ma answer?" When the historian of later generations wrote in the biography of General Ma Yuan, when there were descendants and children in the future, what did Brother Ma think......
"Enough!" Ma Chao got up suddenly, and the cold wind brought by the flame blew the flames to sway.
What a poisonous mouth!
Mu Shan looked at Ma Chao, who was trembling with anger and stood up suddenly, and secretly sighed in his heart for the viciousness of Zhou Yu's tongue.
"So, Brother Ma, now please tell me, does General Ma Yuan have descendants?"
"You ......" Ma Chao has always been proud of his horse aid to his descendants, but now he was caught by Zhou Yu in the weakness, and he was forced again and again, and he was so angry that his hands were clenched into fists, his muscles were exposed, and his ten fingers were pinched, and he wanted to beat Zhou Yu to death with a punch, but he still held back after all, let go of his right hand in a dejected manner, let go of his right hand, and said in despair: "...... No! ”
"Yes, as long as you are willing to take on the responsibility of the descendants of the Ma family, you are the descendant of General Ma Yuan, and you will be able to continue the glory of your ancestors and make the Ma family once again become the pillar of the Han family!"
It's here, the main event is finally here!
After a series of provocations, Mu Shan has already seen Zhou Yu's intentions, and wants to rebel against the Ma family, the young and vigorous Ma Chao is the best breakthrough, as long as Ma Chao is pulled into the water, Ma Teng will have no other choice at that time!
Only, will things really be that easy?
Ma Chao is not a fool, Zhou Yu has said everything about this, how can he not see Zhou Yu's intentions, and sneered at the moment: "Do you want my Ma family to surrender to the imperial court?" You sour and rotten Confucian students like to beat around the bush when you speak, and you always like to look at people as fools! ”
"Brother Ma, it's not too late to listen to me first, and then make a decision."
Zhou Yu was still unmoved in the face of Ma Chao's ridicule, and in his words and deeds, he was calm and calm, which made people feel like a spring breeze: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion has just subsided, the people's livelihood is withering, and there are natural disasters, and the imperial court can no longer withstand the toss." Therefore, for the rebellion of Xiliang, how much attention the imperial court will take, I don't need to repeat it. ”
"The Beigong family, the Ma family, the Yan family, and the Dong family, the four major families are not of the same heart. Among them, Dong Zhuo has already prepared to watch the fire from the other side, just wait for the three of you and the imperial army to fight to the death, so that he can profit from it. The Yan family and your Ma family are in a state of flux, and the Beigong family is also on the edge of the three families, such a chaotic force is combined, intricate, and intrigues with each other, do you think the Xiliang rebels will have a chance of winning? Xiliang has experienced this battle, and a large number of officials have been vacant, and it is the time to promote the virtuous and capable, and the opportunity must not be missed! ”
Mu Shan looked at Ma Chao's hesitant and indecisive appearance, and understood that he had already been moved by what he said, and as long as he was given some more time, maybe it would not be impossible to rebel against the Ma family.
"If you hesitate, once the victory is successful, the Ma family will always be nailed to the name of rebellion, and there will be no recovery, and the wisdom of Ling Zu will also be ruined, please think twice."
It's done?!
Mu Shan heard Zhou Yu talk eloquently, from the name of nothingness to the actual interests, and sprinkled a lot of it, thinking that he could convince Ma Chao about it, but when he heard Ma Chao's reply, he still had to admire the thoughtfulness of the young man in front of him.
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, why should I believe you? The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is hidden, who can guarantee that the court will not unload and kill the donkey afterwards, and find an excuse to clean up the Ma family! ”
"Brother Ma is too worried." Zhou Yu replied unhurriedly: "Look at Dong Zhuo today, the imperial court has long intended to remove him, why can he still remain to this day?" Since the Ma family ordered General Zu Ma to aid generals, the prestige in the eyes of the Qiang people is unparalleled, is Brother Ma still afraid that he will not be able to protect himself? ”
"It's not impossible for my Ma family to turn against each other, first bring the court's Zhao'an book. As long as this matter is true, my Ma family will definitely do my best to quell this rebellion, otherwise Your Excellency will not talk in vain! Ma Chao moved to the corner, hugged his gun and stared: "It's not early, I want to rest for a while, and wait until tomorrow on the Water God Lake, take down the head of the Yan family's miscellaneous pieces, and then go back to discuss this matter with my father." ”
