Chapter 163: Calculation
Liu Bei was depressed for a while, I am so unbearable in your heart? I'm going to have to wrestle with this Ma Yuanyi today!
Liu Bei's stubborn temper came up, and he didn't care what Tang Zhou thought, he made a decision directly.
Tang Zhou instantly felt that he was afraid that he would not live long, if it weren't for Tang Zhou's inconvenience, I am afraid that he would have found a way to escape by himself at this moment.
Helplessly, Tang Zhou finally agreed to act in a play with Liu Bei for the only chance to survive.
In order to avoid Ma Yuanyi's suspicions, Liu Bei threw him into the toilet and smoked him for a quarter of an hour, regardless of whether Tang Zhou wanted it convenient or not.
Then with Tang Zhou, who was smelly, he returned to Ma Yuanyi's side, and said embarrassedly: "Eh~, Director Ma is really embarrassed, this person is old, so it will inevitably take a little longer to go to the toilet."
I'm sorry to delay you for so long! ”
Tang Zhou, who was behind Liu Bei, suddenly looked at Liu Bei with a look of resentment when he heard this, and said in his heart, Is this me willing to stay for so long? It's not that you kid hurt me! I don't know who has just visited the toilet in that restaurant, but the smell is too sour. I don't have a clear head right now!
And Ma Yuanyi showed an embarrassed but polite smile when he heard Liu Bei's words, and said softly: "Hehe~, it's okay." So can we go now? ”
Liu Bei hurriedly said, "Okay! Are we going straight to the Cabinet, or ~? ”
"There are a lot of rules in the cabinet, and the alliance leader only takes a little time out of the cabinet in the morning to deal with government affairs, and he usually doesn't see outsiders!
So I'll take you to my lodgings first, and I'll take you into the cabinet to meet the leader tomorrow morning. ”
Ma Yuanyi said, glancing at Tang Zhou absently, and then looked at Liu Bei's reaction. Because he keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Tang Zhou's eyes looking at him, so he was cautious, and the first thing he thought of was whether his identity was already known to the other party, so he said something to test Liu Bei.
If the other party agrees without hesitation, then it proves that he has not been exposed. But if the other party hesitates, it proves that the other party already knows his identity, so he will resist going to his home as a guest.
Seeing Liu Bei's brows, he pretended to be anxious and said, "Director Ma, is there no other way?" This Tang Zhou's identity is sensitive, and the Yellow Turban University has many eyes and ears, if the people from the Yellow Turban University know that Tang Zhou is here with Director Ma, I am afraid that they will send a large number of people to assassinate him.
At that time, if Director Ma is injured by mistake, it will not be good! ”
Seeing Liu Bei's anxious look, Ma Yuanyi's heart was relieved, it seems that Liu Bei, this kid, should not know my true identity.
So I saw Ma Yuanyi waving his hand and said, "Liu Bei, you may not know." We have Cao Cao in Luoyang to guard the order of the whole city, and it is impossible for some yellow turban thieves to get in.
Because anyone with suspicious deeds was dragged by Cao Cao to drink tea! ”
Forehead~! Can I say that it really deserves to be Cao Mengde? No wonder when I met him at the gates, he looked at me as if I were a prisoner. It turned out that they thought I was a suspicious yellow turban thief!
Seeing that Ma Yuanyi looked like he would definitely be fine, Liu Bei couldn't refuse, so as not to make people suspicious.
So Ma Yuanyi took Liu Bei and them to his villa. Looking at the magnificent villa and the beautiful garden full of flowers, Dian Wei, who had been silent all the way, couldn't help but exclaim: "This villa is so big, so beautiful!" ”
Hearing Dian Wei's praise, Ma Yuanyi smiled in his heart. Sure enough, it's a bun with little knowledge, this is surprising, then if you enter the cabinet and see the residence of the alliance leader, then you can't be surprised!
Coming to the spacious living room, Ma Yuanyi asked the servants to pour a glass of water for Liu Beidianwei, and then looked at Tang Zhou and said, "Liu Bei, you are watching Tang Zhouyi all the way, it's very hard." When you get here, you might as well leave this guy in my care, and my servants here will take good care of him!" ”
"This~! Director Ma, it's not that I won't let you take care of him. Rather, I was entrusted by our headmaster to personally deliver him to the Alliance Leader. As the saying goes, I won't hand him over to anyone until the mission is completed! Thank you for your understanding! ”
"Uh~!"
Ma Yuanyi didn't expect Liu Bei to refuse so simply, he was slightly stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hahaha~! What a promise, there are really not many young people like Liu Bei who keep their promises! Since you don't feel comfortable handing him over to me, then I won't force it.
If you want to come to Liu Bei for a long time, I will let the kitchen make some food for Liu Bei, and then take a break early, and I will take you to see the alliance leader early tomorrow morning! ”
Ma Yuanyi's expression, Liu Bei saw it in his eyes. Seeing that he gave up his plan to control Tang Zhou in his own hands so easily, he couldn't help but be more vigilant about him.
This is a guy who knows how to make trade-offs, and he will not be a person who cares about a little gain or loss. And such people are often difficult to entangle!
It seems that he needs to be more cautious below, this Ma Yuanyi actually gave up this easiest and easiest way to control Tang Zhou so easily, obviously there will be a more secret way to get rid of Tang Zhou in the future.
If you are careless, I'm afraid this trip will fall short!
Soon, the chef in the kitchen brought Liu Bei and them plates of fragrant meals, and Dian Wei couldn't help but swallow when he smelled the aroma. But seeing that Liu Bei didn't move his chopsticks, he was embarrassed to talk first.
Liu Bei looked at this plate of food, and said in his heart: Could it be that Ma Yuanyi is preparing to poison us in the meal? Stun us, and then solve Tang Zhou?
Thinking of this, Liu Bei lost interest in the fragrant delicacies in front of him. Just as he was thinking about how to politely decline this meal, he saw Tang Zhou stretch out his greasy hand and began to stretch out the food in front of him.
When Dian Wei on the side saw it, he immediately looked at Liu Bei a little anxiously and said, "Brother Liu, you see how can this guy have a little consciousness of being a prisoner." You didn't even use chopsticks, he actually ate first! ”
The corners of Liu Bei's mouth twitched, this Tang Zhou was so unvigilant? He is not afraid that Ma Yuanyi will poison him to death?
But looking at the way Tang Zhou's eyebrows danced, he obviously didn't think about this.
Liu Bei sighed secretly, since you are not afraid of death, then I don't care about you. I'm worried that I can't think of a way to get rid of it, and since you're not afraid of death, then I'm even more afraid! Anyway, with the attitude of the Yellow Turban High School towards me, my life should be safe and sound!
So Liu Bei picked up the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and joined the war for food. Dian Wei on the side saw that Liu Bei finally started to move his chopsticks, took out the long chopsticks that had been prepared for a while, and also joined the hungry battle for me!
The three of them are all people who have not eaten normal food for a long time, and at this moment, when they taste this delicious food carefully prepared by the chef, it is inevitable that they will taste a little ugly. So Ma Yuanyi on the side watched their competition and smiled rarely!
After a good meal, Ma Yuanyi asked the servant to take Liu Bei and them to the guest room to rest. After Liu Bei and the others were properly settled, the servant found Ma Yuanyi and asked suspiciously: "Master, it was obviously a good opportunity to get rid of Tang Zhou just now, why did the master give up so easily?" ”
Ma Yuanyi smiled when he heard this, looked at the servant's puzzled expression, and said softly: "You have been following me for some years?" Can you see that I have exposed my identity?
Going undercover in Luoyang is a dangerous thing, and any slightest negligence can kill you. So I never leave any evidence against me when I do things!
It was indeed a good time to do it, as long as you stunned them, you could easily complete the task. But have you ever thought about how suspicious I will be afterwards by stuning and killing them in my home?
Although we can excuse ourselves from talking about the chef, I am afraid that I will also be exposed to the eyes of those people. So this is the most undesirable way! ”
The servant nodded clearly, and then asked suspiciously: "But master, if you don't do it here, are you going to let Liu Bei take Tang Zhou into the cabinet to meet the alliance leader?" The task explained above~! ”
"Hehe~! Don't worry, I've got a plan, and you'll ...... tomorrow."
Ma Yuanyi called the servant in front of him as he spoke, and whispered a few words in his ear. Then he saw the servant's eyes light up, and immediately bowed down and said, "The master is smart, then I will ask someone to prepare now!" ”
"Well, you go down!"
After Ma Yuanyi waved his hand and sent the servant away, he looked at the sunset outside the window, his eyes gradually narrowed, and he said softly: "Liu Bei, you are ready to accept this great gift I prepared for you!" ”
In the clean and tidy room, Liu Bei sat on the bench next to the bed with Tang Zhou, while he himself sat in the middle of the edge of the bed. Thinking in his heart for a while, even if he fainted, he could faint directly on the comfortable bed, and Tang Zhou let him fall directly to the ground!
Who made this guy so greedy, he didn't even say to start, he actually took the lead in pulling up the food with his dirty hand, so that he didn't eat any good food when he started later!
But after sitting quietly on the bed for a quarter of an hour, he didn't feel any discomfort, and Liu Bei couldn't help but wonder. Didn't those meals be medicated?
But such a good opportunity, this Ma Yuanyi just gave up? Could it be that he was going to wait for the dead of night to do it?
When Liu Bei was about to think about it, he listened to Tang Zhoubai on the side and said boredly: "Liu boy, what are you thinking about so fascinating?" I'll tell you, you have to pull me in, so you must ensure my safety. Otherwise~"
Tang Zhou was talking about it, when he heard Liu Bei suddenly say coldly: "Otherwise! You still want to threaten me? It seems that I haven't taught you a lesson for a few days, and you don't know your identity again! ”
Tang Zhou's body suddenly chilled when he heard this, and then remembered Liu Bei's method of educating people, and hurriedly explained: "Eh~! What I was just now, I'm not afraid that you won't be able to complete the task assigned to you by your principal, and you won't be able to hand it in when you go back!
My personal life is small, but your task is big! I can swear to God, I was really just afraid that you would fail your mission and be punished when you returned! ”
Seeing that Tang Zhou finally corrected his attitude, Liu Bei chose to forgive him with compassion. And Tang Zhou secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart that it is not easy to be a prisoner these days, especially this kid's prisoner!
There is no sense of preferential treatment of prisoners at all, and he still has to educate people at every turn all day long. Fortunately, I have now come to Luoyang City, and when I see Liu Hong tell him what he knows, it is estimated that even if I have no credit, I can be acquitted! Then you can get rid of this unscrupulous boy!
Tang Zhou was thinking about it, so he heard Liu Bei on the side say softly: "Tang Zhou, be careful tonight." This Ma Yuanyi didn't choose to start with such a good opportunity just now, so it is likely that he left the opportunity for the evening.
So tonight the two of us take turns keeping vigil, putting a poison mask on you, and if you see someone breaking in, you shout for help.
After all, this is in Luoyang, they should have some scruples, I think they won't stay here and entangle with you as long as they hear you shouting. And I can take the opportunity to see who is trying to kill you! ”
After making a plan with Tang Zhou, he saw that it was already dark outside, and the clock on the wall had already shown that the time had come to seven o'clock in the evening.
Liu Bei, who had not been sleep-free in the wild for many days, yawned and locked the doors and windows, closed the curtains, turned off the lights, put on a poisoning mask and hid under the bed to rest!
And Tang Zhou sat quietly on the bed and meditated, looking at the clock hanging on the opposite wall, and listening vigilantly to the movements around him.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps walked in front of the door, and Tang Zhou suddenly stared nervously at the door. It wasn't until the voice went away that Tang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
This Liu Bei kid is also really, knowing that this is a wolf's den, he still has to drill into it. I'm a soldier now, and I'll be scared to death sooner or later!
finally stayed up until three o'clock in the morning, Tang Zhou woke Liu Bei up to change shifts, put on his own poisoning mask, and also went under the bed to rest.
"Ah~"
Stretching his waist, Liu Bei took advantage of the hazy moonlight that came in through the curtains outside the window to look at the time of the clock on the wall.
"It's three o'clock in the morning, and there's no movement at all. This Ma Yuanyi can't be fake! If he is really an undercover agent of the Yellow Turban High School in the cabinet, then he should have some reaction now!
But from the time he came in to the present, he didn't make a single shot with so many opportunities! Is this man too cautious, or is there something else going on here? ”
Liu Bei, who was puzzled in his heart, decided that he should go through the matter first and see what he was negligent about.
First of all, he told himself that Ma Yuanyi was the person sent by Zhang Jiao to the cabinet to go undercover was Tang Zhou, and this matter was related to his net worth and life, so he should not lie about this matter.
This Ma Yuanyi must be a Yellow Turban spy, there should be nothing wrong with this. But until now, Ma Yuanyi has not made a move on them, if the Yellow Turban University really has the determination to kill Tang Zhou, then this matter is inevitably a little abnormal!
However, Liu Bei suddenly remembered one more thing, Ma Yuanyi had been undercover in the cabinet for several years, but no one had ever doubted his identity. This piece of information flashed in Liu Bei's heart like lightning.
Couldn't it be ......! I see, it seems that this Ma Yuanyi is not an idle person, no wonder he can live in the troubled waters of Luoyang!
Liu Bei grinned, then took off the poison mask on his head, sat on the soft and comfortable bed and fell asleep.
