In the middle of the night, Ma Yue woke up leisurely in his sleep, squinted his eyes and looked around the tent as soon as he raised his right hand to touch the cold handle of the ring knife, and sat up with the ring knife at once, and saw clearly that the military tent around him was familiar, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he felt the pain of his left hand holding the couch, so he put the ring knife on his legs, raised his left hand and stretched it a few times.

"General Ma, is this military tent still like a battlefield, with swords and soldiers without eyes?"

There was a gentle taunt in his ears, and Ma Yue suddenly looked back to find that the tent was not empty, and Xun Yu, who was sitting in the corner of the tent, looked at him expressionlessly.

"Xun Yu, ......" Ma Yue let out a long breath, shook his head and said: "Don't ridicule me, since I was released from prison for more than ten days, my heart has never been relaxed." ”

Xun Yu lowered his head and smiled softly, only at this time could he feel comfortable beside Ma Yue, although he always knew that Ma Yue would not kill himself, and he would not even treat himself badly, but he always felt that the sense of oppression that Ma Yue brought him was a little too much. At this time, when Ma Yue took off his guards, he could feel that the mighty general sitting on the edge of the couch was actually a young man on par with himself.

This is comparable to age.

But Ma Yue admitted that he was frightened and frightened, but Xun Yu didn't know what to say, raised his head and asked: "I heard that the general won a game in Qingzuomen during the day?" ”

"Does Xun Gongzi really think that someone has won?" Ma Yue asked rhetorically, others are short-sighted, but in such a dispute, he definitely does not feel that there is a real winner. "I think we all lost and fell into the trap left by the first emperor."

In history, He Jin won this game to assist the eldest prince, but he was later stabbed to death by the eunuch in the palace Fudao, and the ten permanent servants won a game, not to make the general's mansion kill corpses everywhere. Yuan Fu won a game, but Dong Zhuo who attracted them beheaded them all over the house, Dong Zhuo's ferocity and strength won, and in the end, he was still jealous and resentful of being lit with sky lanterns.

It's a dead end, whoever it is, it's a loser.

"I have heard that General Ma is loyal to the first emperor, why did he say disrespectful words now?"

"Alas, it's hard to put into words." Ma Yue shook his head, there were some things in his heart that he wouldn't say to Xun Yu, Liu Hong's last hand was really clever, but he underestimated the staff of the General's Mansion, how could Liu Hong think that he had recruited the border generals as soon as he died? Ma Yue sat up straight, raised his head and said, "Xun Yu, ask someone to warm up the bar." ”

Xun Yu's face was stunned, but he didn't say anything, just got up and called the Jiashi Wenjiu who guarded the camp, and only then turned around, but saw that Ma Yue had already placed two opposite futons on the side of the couch, pulled up a few cases and waved his hand to invite him to take a seat. "Come and talk to me."

At this time, Xun Yu realized that Ma Yue wanted to drink with him, which made Xun Yu hesitate. Is his relationship with Ma Yue good enough to sit in the military tent and drink?

"What, are you afraid that drinking with Ma Junhao will tarnish your reputation?" Ma Yue waved his hand to beckon Xun Yu to sit down, and said a little lonely: "It's okay, if you don't want to drink, just watch me drink, just sit here." ”

When did Xun Yu be treated so politely by Ma Yue, although he had no worries about food and clothing these days, and even had palace maids serving to bathe and change clothes, he was still a prisoner under house arrest, this Ma Yue ...... Are you planning to let yourself out of the palace?

Thinking non-stop in his head, Xun Yu still bowed his head first and said: "The general is too worried, it is the ...... of the lower officials to be able to drink with a general as a majestic general."

"Stop those polite words." Ma Yue waved again, no longer so polite, pointed to the futon and said, "Sit down." ”

Ma Yue really has a heart for Xun Yu, but for a long-standing son of a big clan like Xun Yu, especially after personally ordering the killing of the general He Jin, Ma Yue couldn't find a reason in his heart to let Xun Yu help him.

Attract...... Except for a few clans of the Pei family, he Ma Junhao has never met a serious child of a big clan at all, let alone soliciting, who will look down on him?

Xun Yu couldn't resist Ma Yue, after all, it was not a matter of impropriety to sit down face-to-face under the eaves, and just after sitting down, a soldier signed up, bowed down with a bottle of warm wine and put it on the table.

Ma Yue scooped up the cloudy liquor and asked, "Do you know why I left you in the tent?" ”

"Back to the general, I think about it, I am afraid that I will tell the general's mansion what I have seen and heard." Ma Yue scooped up the wine and poured wine for Xun Yu, Xun Yu said without humility or arrogance while holding the wine bottle with both hands: "The general's expectations are not bad, at that time, Wen Ruo did plan to inform the general's mansion of the news of the death of the first emperor, this matter should not be hidden, and he did not dare to hide it. ”

Ma Yue drank the wine in his hand, "That's right, no matter who it is that day, I will not let him out of the palace, the news of the death of the first emperor is a catastrophe for me, I have obtained the consent of the queen mother, Your Majesty will not mourn, I have the opportunity to block the palace ban, so that the general's mansion is frightened, I can't figure out what I want to do...... But because this person is you Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, I failed to kill the killer. ”

Why is that? Wen Ruo never found out that General Ma was actually a ruthless person, if it was someone else, would he be executed immediately? Xun Yu also drank a glass, his was a wine bottle, and Ma Yue was a wine bowl, but despite this, Xun Yu still tasted it and asked, "Then why don't you kill Xun Yu?" ”

"It's not about cruelty, extraordinary things are done at extraordinary times, and it will be the same if you change others, after all, only dead people can keep secrets, and people are at risk when they live." Ma Yue shook his head with a smile, but said with a little helplessness on his face: "Just like the flower thief's intentions, I heard that He Boqiu praised you for having the talent of Wang Zuo, although I am not a prince, I also hope you can help me." ”

Xun Yu was silent, what could he say? Ma Yue actually wanted to help him by himself, and this matter also had a big impact on Xun Yu, he didn't expect Ma Yue to have such an idea.

Looking back on these days, is Ma Yue good to himself? It's so good that it's heavenly, the palace maid is waiting to change clothes and bathe, and this kind of treatment is given to herself, just house arrest, it's not too much to say. But then again, from the courtesy to himself, Ma Yue's presumptuousness was exposed, although he never let the palace maid and eunuch wait for him in the slightest, but he dared to inflict this kind of thing on others, this Ma Yue was really arrogant to the extreme.

"Actually, I haven't been able to make up my mind to kill the general, I'm not afraid of him, but precisely you families. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that my indecision will kill many people. In the battle outside the Qingzuo Gate during the day, more than 700 veterans died in the Changshui battalion, some of whom had led horses for me in Dongjun, and some of whom blocked the sword for me in the mainland, were all gone. You say that I am loyal to Your Majesty, and it is his last edict to kill the general, but the general is dead, and those captains in the shogunate besieged the palace and wanted to hang me with those eunuchs, who is wrong? Ma Yue raised his head and drank a bowl of wine again, the expression on his face was a little bitter, "Maybe I was really loyal to the first emperor before the death of the general, but not necessarily now." I'm not blaming the first emperor for all the faults, the first emperor is right. It's just that I have my own selfishness, kill He Jin, I must assist the little prince! ”

When he said this, Ma Yue was categorical in his heart, the matter really didn't end well now, and I don't know how many people in Luoyang City plan to get rid of him quickly.

"Actually, I was right, when I heard the news that His Majesty was seriously ill in the Huangmen Temple, I made up my mind to come out and help His Majesty fulfill his last wish. When I broke out of the Huangmen Temple, I knew that if I took such a step, I would never be able to turn back. But I still think less. Ma Yue took a deep breath, looked at the cloudy liquor and his eyes straightened, "I don't want to see how many people in Luoyang City want to put my head on the tip of the gun now." ”

"I don't hate them, it's just that I'm on a different position. Obviously, since I broke out of the Yellow Gate Prison, this matter has been your life and death, but I haven't thought it through at that time. ”

Imperial power, imperial power, it's really not what you imagined, it has been constrained too much, and he has been edicted to punish He Jin, but now the children of the secretary of state have the military power in their hands to kill themselves, but it is still the desire of the people.

What is it to think clearly, is to let Pei Ruo persuade him not to listen, and he is bent on breaking out of Huangmen Temple, everything that happened after Ma Yue regrets it now, there is no place to reason, he just wants to slap himself twice in the military tent.

"And what does the general plan to do in the future? After you ascended the throne with the little prince, the edict said that you were the auxiliary minister, what are you going to do? ”

"The court has become like this, the minister was ordered to kill the thief, but he was shouted and shouted to kill, where do I dare to think so much? Maybe I shouldn't have gotten off the horse, begging His Majesty to issue an edict to go to Liangzhou, how good is it to be a general on horseback for the rest of my life? Ma Yue smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "The world can be better, the scholars, soldiers, and the people sit together, think about how to make the world better, the people are richer, and the national strength is stronger." But everyone cares about what is in front of them, not only everyone, but also me, in fact, as long as I leave Luoyang, the dilemma will be solved, but am I willing to leave? I don't want to, if the eldest prince ascends the throne, I will execute his own uncle, and he will definitely kill me. But if I don't leave, I'm going to fight like this until I die...... Or they give up. ”

Xun Yu's eyes lit up, and then dimmed in an instant. Raised the wine glass and toasted to Ma Yue and said: "Ma Junhao's mind, Xun Wenruo has seen it today." Dare to ask, what will the general do if he gains power? ”

If a man wants to kill Ma Yue, the more Ma Yue has to fight people to the end. But Xun Yu still heard that there was no murderous intent in his words, if everyone was willing to listen to him, this matter would be solved. Is it possible to let those who have been ministers for many generations listen to him as a martial artist? This is the second time Xun Yu has asked Ma Yue what he will do in the future.

Ma Yue drank all the wine in the bowl and chuckled: "I'm powerful? If I get in power, maybe I'll reform. In today's world, the fool's view is on the verge of falling apart, and if it continues like this, it will lead to great disaster. But as long as Luoyang is not chaotic, even if the local state capital is in chaos, there will be a day of recovery, if you want Luoyang not to be chaotic, you need to have a strong army to hold Luoyang steadily, it is the general who is bad, and the world is recruited to come to Beijing. But as long as there is still a trace of possibility, I will be firmly nailed to this Luoyang City and keep the foundation of this world! ”

"As for you, Xun Yu, I won't let you out of the palace until I leave." Ma Yue saw a hint of admiration in Xun Yu's eyes, and when he said this, he was replaced with coldness, "Don't look at me like that, don't let you go because I don't dare to go out of the palace, everyone outside wants to kill me, but hiding in the palace is unreasonable, I'm afraid that there will be rumors that I don't abide by the law, so I want you to be a witness and eat and live with me." ”

Sighing, Ma Yue looked at Xun Yu seriously and said: "I want to ask you to help me, if I die, at least you know how I have lived these days, don't let future generations think that I, Ma Yue, am a big traitor and cause trouble to the palace." ”
