Chapter 42
This is the first time that I have woken up from a drunken stupor, and once again the dust has settled on the power struggle.
Some people died, but Ma Yue was still alive.
He couldn't remember how many times it was.
Ma Yue rubbed his dizzy forehead, and the soreness on his back made him straighten up, only to find that he was sleeping on the favorite case that Liang Hu had placed in the hall, and Cui Jun was even more unbearable, lying on the ground on all fours, snoring at this time, and his head was soaked in the wine jar.
"Ah Ruo, how long have I been asleep, is there anything wrong?" Ma Yue rubbed his forehead again, seeing that the light in the hall from the window should still be daylight, he didn't understand why Yang Feng wanted to wake him up, obviously this bit of sleep was not enough for him who had not slept all night, raised his head and hurriedly said to Yang Feng's bloodshot eyes: "Haven't you rested yet?" Go to sleep, what's going on? ”
Yang Feng stood beside Ma Yue, cleaned up the wine bowl and said, "I'm afraid I can't rest, Dong Min is here, Captain Fengche, Dong Zhuo's younger brother." Dong Zhuo has arrived at the capital pavilion, does Jun Hao want to receive him in the mansion or let the people of Honglu Temple prepare the gifts of the princes? ”
Although Yang Aruo didn't like Dong Zhuo, he knew very well that Dong Zhuo had made great efforts to enter Beijing this time, and the troops of Ding Yuan in Bingzhou were still blocked by Niu Fu at the Mengjin Ferry, not to mention that Dong Zhuo, who was a former general, personally led the troops of Wang Kuang Baoxin and forced them back to Xuanyuan Pass. In public and private, Dong Zhuo is a great hero to the people of the Ma family.
"Forget the courtesy of the princes, it will lead people to gossip. I'll go to the street kiosk to meet him myself. Ma Yue shook his head a little tiredly, there was nothing more tiring than getting drunk the next day after avoiding pursuit all night and going out of the city to meet a worried warlord like Dong Zhuo, "Ah Ruo, you let people clean up the mansion, send Yuan Ping to the side room to rest, let people buy some wine and food, and bring a few sheep back." Then just rest early. ”
"That's right." Ma Yue walked out of the hall and turned back again and said, "Find someone to go to the Changshui camp in the palace and bring the Pei family boy and Xun Yu to the mansion." Rest early, spread the word, and let the people below do those things. ”
"No." Yang Feng picked up the wine bowl with the wine jar and promised it, forced a smile, raised his eyebrows outside and said, "Jun Hao went out to take a look, the house is not quite the same." ”
Ma Yue walked out of the hall with a suspicious face, looked around, and didn't find anything wrong at first glance, and suddenly shook to the arrow tower made of giant trees in the courtyard, and the wooden frame in the courtyard wall that was easy for archers to climb, then he shook his head and smiled, Xu Huang saw Ma Yue come out, and immediately led a Liangzhou man with a strong body and a little similar to Dong Zhuo in his eyebrows, but with a little shrewdness, to come over and say: "Lord, this is Dong Min, the commander of Fengche, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
"Dong Duwei, fortunately, has Brother Zhong arrived at Duting?" Saying that, Ma Yue glanced at the newly built arrow tower, patted Xu Huang on the shoulder and said, "Good job, prepare to prepare, I'll pick up Second Brother Dong home." ”
"No!"
Dong Min was very useful to Ma Yue's name, and hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Don't dare to be it, Guangluxun is serious." ”
Saying that, Dong Min put on a somewhat sad expression and said: "The lower official heard that Guangluxun has a good personal relationship with the captain of the military academy, and he is almost a brother with a different surname. ”
Ma Yue nodded reservedly, patted Dong Min's arm and said, "Thank you, brother." ”
"It's good for Guangluxun to be called Shu Ying, I also heard that Guangluxun and the captain of the military academy have been in each other's arms, and the assassination of the captain of the military academy this time will reduce Guangluxun's support in the court." Dong Min is different from Dong Zhuo, his face is much gentler, and he just listened to him and said: "But Guangluxun doesn't have to worry, although the captain is gone, the friendship between the Dong family and the Ma family is not only in Liangzhou, but also in the court, and the Dong family will always be Guangluxun's strong shield and spear against the enemy." ”
After only a few words of contact, Ma Yue felt that Dong Zhuo was a very knowledgeable person, and the third master of the Dong family should be put in Luoyang, don't believe it or not, he already has a full good impression of this Dong Min.
"Don't thank you, the Dong family's brother's affection for the younger brother has always been in Jun Haoji's heart, it's not too early, let's not let the middle brother wait in Duting for a long time." Ma Yue took Dong Min's arm and said, "Gongming prepares the horse, follow me to Duting to greet Brother Zhong." ”
"No!"
As soon as Xu Huang turned around, Dong Min said to Ma Yue with a strange smile: "Jun Hao doesn't need to be polite, when Brother Zhong came, he asked someone to bring a message to a certain family, saying that he didn't dare to let Guangluxun go to Duting to greet him, so he had already set off for Beijing, but ten miles away, Xiliang Ma's foot strength is estimated to have entered the city." ”
"What? How this makes. Seeing Xu Huang coming, Ma Yue hurriedly turned over and said, "Doesn't this make Ma lose his manners, brother, get on the horse and go to the city gate to greet Brother Zhong." ”
Dong Min got on the horse with a smile, and the two of them walked half a mile away from the city gate when they saw a commotion at the city gate.
The people who entered and exited the city gate ran east and west, the women who walked in the market outside the city were so frightened by the sound of horses' hooves that they threw away their bamboo baskets in their hands, the man holding the child covered the child's eyes, the beautiful lady and the servants hid behind the trees, and the soldiers at the city gate who were jumping chickens and dogs.
"Bang!"
Outside the city gate, an object was suddenly thrown in, and it smashed heavily on the royal road in the city, and it was actually a gate guard guarding the gate, and then with a 'whoosh', the standard Changge quickly pierced the ground only a foot away from the man's head and entered the ground a few inches, although it did not harm people's lives, but it gave others a layer of fear.
The sound of horses' hooves, the smoke and dust that catches your eye is a long-haired wild horse with strong limbs, the shoulder height looks like a beast, the muscles on the horse's chest collide with the bell hanging under the horse's halter, making a jingling sound, the high-headed horse shakes its head and snorts, this majestic Xiliang horse is huge and rare in the world, and the Kansai Han on horseback is the same, a standard two-crotch armor can barely buckle the armor buckle under the ribs, The scarred scars on his arms show the man's bravery on the battlefield, and a thick arm-thick mixed iron spear hangs diagonally on the horse, and the mountain-like sturdy body swayes with the slow bumps of the horse's back, and the fierce eyes look around the city gate like a descending tiger, and those who look at it are all terrified.
In a moment, there were four inferior Liangzhou horses side by side, kicking and driving from the shadow of the city gate hole, the foreign warriors on the horseback were unruly, the war knives hanging from their waists reflected the cold light, and the war spears pointed obliquely to the ground were ready to charge at any time. Surrounded by those Hu warriors, Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes and wrinkled his nose, his ruthless gaze scanning the capital where he had walked every inch of land in his youth, when he was a small scribe attached to the Yuan Clan's mansion. Twenty years passed, and he took a deep breath as he looked at this familiar royal way.
Today, he's back.
In the fierce atmosphere of the battlefield, the vanguard giant lifted the reins, the horse neighed with his chin high and drew his spear to shake the wind, and the red general Daxu hung down, and there was only one Dong character on the book.
"Former general, the Marquis of Taixiang has arrived, and the people from Honglu Temple are not coming to greet him!"
Staring at the pioneer giant who resisted the rebellion, Ma Yue's eyes were full of envy, God knows where Dong Zhuo found such a majestic figure, not to mention anything else, this appearance alone looks more fierce than Li Dao Guo Yan, this person is ...... Huaxiong?
"Brother, where did Brother Zhong find such a mighty tiger general?" Ma Yue shook his head lightly, beat the horse and drove away to meet the fierce general, more than ten steps away, suddenly lifted the reins under the crotch Xianbei horse has already stood up, in the neighing of the horse, Ma Yue arched his hand and laughed loudly: "Brother Zhong, you came too fast, the little brother didn't have time to go to the pavilion to greet, Ma Yue is polite here!" ”
This hand-riding skill is really handsome, even if it is a fierce general who shows off his martial arts, he can't help but squint his eyes, this is Ma Yue?
Dong Zhuo squinted, carefully looked at Ma Yue and counted the time, and finally had warm feelings on his face, he took two steps forward and smiled and gave his hand, and then turned over, his sturdy and somewhat bloated body movements were very sharp, and he bowed when he got off the horse and said: "Now that Zhong Ying sees Your Excellency, he is going to bow down, isn't it, Guangluxun." ”
"Don't dare." Seeing this, Ma Yue also turned over and dismounted and bowed: "Brother Zhong is always a middle brother in front of San Lang, how dare you let Brother Zhong give a gift, then don't let the younger brother be rude, brother, please come with me, the cold house has prepared a thin wine, for the brother to catch the wind and wash the dust, but also for the brothers to face the east and fight for the victory to celebrate...... Brother, if you want me to say, what kind of Honglu Temple, let's not go, how about it? ”
"Hahahaha!" Dong Zhuo raised his head and laughed heartily, the lion's nose and wide mouth laughed very boldly, patted Ma Yue's shoulder and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, San Lang has changed a lot, but this is still the same for me Zhong Ying, it is not in vain to fight for you as a brother!" Babies, go to the Guangluxun Mansion to eat and drink! ”
Ma Yue glanced at it, and said hello to Li Ru, Guo Yan and other familiar men behind him, Dong Zhuo brought fifty personal companions, and it was estimated that the house could still be stuffed, and then turned over and walked side by side with Dong Zhuo.
The two rode their horses and led their horses beside the royal road, and the fierce knights from the cool and wild land behind them paced their horses with fierce faces, and they looked as fierce and fierce as they were.
In fact, Ma Yue understands that it is just pretending, and the three bowls of cold knives are exposed in their original form. They are like this in Liangzhou, if they are changed to any place here, they will not be so proud, this is the imperial capital Luoyang, when have these border aliens seen such a majestic city, and when have they seen so many dignitaries.
They don't know the bottom of their hearts, and they can't find the slightest sense of security. Everyone has heard too many legends about Luoyang, but in the end, except for Dong Zhuo, no one has ever seen the real Luoyang. In order not to teach the people of Luoyang to put their monkey-like gaze on themselves, they would rather make a look like they are not close to the living, and teach people to feel afraid.
Ma Yue shook his head and led the horse and smiled, he remembered that when he first arrived in Luoyang, didn't he also stand at the door of the main hall with a halberd, always frowning coldly at the wealthy nobles who walked in front of him in official uniforms?
In fact, everyone is just doing it for their own peace of mind.
After all, it's safer to be feared than to be respected, and that's where the way Ryo people behave, isn't it?
