Wang Yue never thought that he would have to do such a simple task in his life.

At first, when he received this task, he found it very difficult. After all, take a person to sneak into the palace without knowing it, and meet the current emperor. Even if he is a master like him and is an inner servant recognized by Emperor Xian, it is not easy. However, when he heard a word today, his heart became a little relaxed and strange.

Liu Xie said to Wang Yue: "Tonight, I have already arranged everything. You go and infiltrate the general of Zhenxi, and say that I want to see him. Presumably, he will come with you. ”

When he heard this, Wang Yue's mood really couldn't be described in words. Before this, he had thought of countless methods, including infiltrating in disguise, including co-opting and buying, naturally including forcibly breaking in, and so on. Unexpectedly, it was the current emperor who solved this problem, and his arrangement was still so seamless

'The emperor has become his own worker? And the self who should have the most headache has become an irrelevant little character who only needs to ventilate and report? Wang Yue shook his head and drove these boring thoughts out of his mind: since they both wanted to see each other, why should they bother in vain?

Even, Wang Yue felt that he should be grateful to these two people. After all, this kind of face-saving and easy-to-say task, I'm afraid it will only happen once in a lifetime. Although, this kind of thing is impossible to say in a lifetime.

And looking at the stars in the sky, Wang Yue sneaked into the Zhenxi General's Mansion. Ma Chao in the main hall has been waiting for him for a long time.

When Wang Yue saw Ma Chao again at this time, he still didn't naturally have a trace of awe in his heart. That night, the young man's methods were so terrible that although he completely conquered his heart, at the same time, he also completely frightened himself. Especially at this time, when he saw Ma Chao's unhappy face, he couldn't help but feel a little throbbing in his heart.

But Ma Chao didn't think too much about it, the reason for his unhappy face. It's because Han Ying and Yun'er are here today, but Wang Yue of the dog day told him that Liu Xie wants to see him tonight: he will die the next day! Lao Tzu has been abstinent from sex in Chang'an for almost a month, and today it is even very likely to achieve a fantastic 'double fly', just like this! How can you make his face happy?! How can it be!!

Ma Chao's resentment at this time is very deep, very deep! If Liu Xie can't say any constructive opinions tonight, he can't tell if he will change his original intention, and instead try his best to kill Liu Xie to avenge his father, and by the way, vent his resentment tonight!

Well, it may also be that in order to vent his anger, it is right to avenge his father by the way

Ma Chao sat in the carriage that had been prepared outside the door, and in the quiet night, the crisp sound of horses' hooves was very harsh and very weird, and Ma Chao and Wang Yue in the carriage were speechless, which added to the strange and difficult atmosphere.

After about half an hour, Ma Chao lifted the window, and in the bright moonlight, he saw that the carriage did not go directly to the palace, but made a sharp turn at the gate of the inner city, swept past the edge of Chang'an City, and continued to gallop towards the right. After a little more incense, he came to the foot of a small hill and stopped in front of a detached hut.

Along the way, there were almost no soldiers and horses patrolling Dong Zhuo, and even if there were one or two small captains, Wang Yue used a silver token to block back. This made Ma Chao pay a little attention to Liu Xie's methods. After all, being able to make such clever use of the patrol interval and let a carriage evade Dong Zhuo's surveillance, Ma Chao thought to himself, with the network of veins he now mastered, he couldn't do it at all.

The hut in front of me was square, with two stone tigers at the door, and pines and cypresses planted all around. When the night breeze blows, there is a low rustling sound.

"Lord, please get out of the car." Wang Yue said to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was a little surprised: "Liu Tianzi is here?" ”

"No, my lord, the Son of Heaven is in the palace, and he can't be taken lightly. And I can only bring the lord here," Wang Yue replied, seemingly a little ashamed, and then continued: "Your Majesty arranged for you to get off here, and someone else will take the lord into the palace." ”

Ma Chao lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, and suddenly leaned back again: "Emperor Wang, you won't let me go alone, right?" ”

Wang Yue's old face turned red, and sure enough, he said: "Your Majesty does arrange it like this, so" Before he could finish speaking, Wang Yue disappeared behind the curtain again. Ma Chao finally understood why this thing was so weird when he said just now, it turned out to be a guy who escaped from the battle.

The carriage soon disappeared into the night, and Ma Chao stood in the darkness blankly, and he suddenly realized: pine cypress, stone tiger, these decorations only mean one thing - this room is an ancestral hall for the dead!

It's been almost two years since I came to the Han Dynasty, and Ma Chao also knows some common sense. The reason why the ancients only liked to plant cypress trees in front of the tomb is that because the cypress trees are old and can often last for thousands of years, there is also another reason for the hope that the deceased will sleep forever.

There is an allusion to Fang Xiang's exorcism of the elephant (the elephant is a legendary monster) in the "Zhou Li": the elephant is good at eating the liver of the dead, and is afraid of the tiger and the cypress. The tomb is a cypress, and the intersection is a stone tiger, for which also.

It can be seen from this that the ancients believed that there were foreign bodies in the ground that liked to eat the dead, and these foreign objects were most afraid of cypress trees and tigers, in order to make the dead into the earth for peace, get eternal rest, so they planted cypress trees all over the cemetery site, and at the same time there were stone men and stone beasts to protect the cemetery.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao suddenly felt a gust of wind and a chill all over his body. Although he is a new human being in the 21st century, he also accepts the theory of Marxist materialism. But his atheistic views can't stand the erosion and poison of many horror ghost movies he has watched, especially in this weird environment, which is really uncomfortable and ghostly.

Ma Chao looked left and right, and when he was hesitating, a gust of wind blew, and the cold and cold came with it, and the wide leaves of the pines and cypresses rattled. Ma Chao's pupils suddenly contracted, and his whole body couldn't help stiffening.

I don't know when, there was another person behind him, a woman with long hair and white clothes

"Hell!" Ma Chao was horrified, suddenly pulled out the Su Tie Sword at his waist, and used the most unique move in his life to quickly attack and kill the woman!

But to Ma Chao's surprise, the woman seemed to be scared stupid. Seeing Ma Chao's reaction, she was so shocked that she threw away the lantern in her hand, and under the pressure of Ma Chao's murderous aura, she bit her lip and said a sentence with great difficulty: "Be merciful under the general's sword!" ”

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and already reacted: This woman is a human, not a ghost

But this sword is a sword that Ma Chao fought with all his strength under fear, how could he immediately recover it when he said that he could collect it? With a sharp turn of thought, Ma Chao suddenly changed his move, bypassed the woman, and stabbed Shi Hu behind the woman with a sword.

With a 'bang', the hundred-forged and refined Su Iron Sword coupled with Ma Chao's splendid and bloody sword qi actually pierced a stone tiger statue more than two meters high, and the stones flew sideways!

Then Ma Chao hugged the woman horizontally and threw the woman under him to prevent her from being hit by a rock. But his right hand touched a warm and mellow object, which made Ma Chao's mood relaxed: hot, elastic, and felt very good, this at least proves that she is really a human, not a ghost
