The atmosphere of the entire Cheng'an Palace, with Cao Tai's sudden words, seemed to be blown by a whirlwind. The expressions on everyone's faces, which were originally smiling and feasting, suddenly seemed to have entered a harsh winter. Looking at Cao Tai's stubborn and upright posture and his expression of waiting, many of the civil and military ministers of the Ma family silently raised their wine bottles, and their eyes flashed with flickering light.

The little sheep in the wolf's den came up and showed the courage to pick up the wolves, which seemed great, but it was ridiculous. Everyone knows that the strong side of this negotiation is the Ma family at home. As a result, Cao Tai's body gradually began to tremble slightly as time went by, which also made him understand how unwise it was to anger the Ma family's bottom line at this time.

Especially the Ma Chao who is in the right position, he has been maintaining a motionless posture for a long time. A pair of ears didn't seem to hear what Cao Tai said at all, but his two eyes never turned for half a minute, just looked at Cao Tai so quietly and calmly - this kind of immobile oppression, coupled with the heroic spirit he had cultivated over the years in charge of the Ma family, became the fundamental factor in the silence of the entire hall.

Even, even Cao Ang, the heir of the Cao clan who was beside Cao Tai and wanted to break the entire deadlock, also felt an invisible beating that imprisoned his courage after seeing Ma Chao's reaction, so that he could only swallow the words that had surged into his throat back to his stomach, and his pale and changing face could not tell what kind of complex feelings he had in his heart.

The strange atmosphere was still pervasive, and everyone made their movements extremely slight, waiting for Ma Chao's reaction. Cao Tai felt that cold sweat was dripping from his forehead, and he also thought of the terrible consequences after Ma Chao suddenly turned his face. And just when Cao Tai felt that the cold sweat on his forehead was about to drip down the tip of his nose on the expensive Persian carpet of Cheng'an Palace, just when his body gradually couldn't help but start to tremble uncontrollably and strongly. The Ma Chao on the main seat, he, suddenly laughed!

Indeed, he laughed without warning, and it was still the kind of laugh that didn't know and was sincerely sorry: "Don't be so nervous, it's just a joke....... how about it, I'm scared, right?" ”

Cao Tai suddenly felt as if his heart was being trampled by 10,000 Xiliang war horses, he wanted to scream, he wanted to kill, and he wanted to punch the face of the young man who was smiling brightly! But these thoughts were filtered through his mind, and after being severely suppressed by reason, he could only put away the holy decree stiffly and ugly, and said: "If this is the case, the matter of the holy decree should be announced after the two families discuss peace......

Cao Tai blushed because his performance was so ungraceful that he began to stumble over words. However, the next moment, when he wanted to walk back to the guest seat, he found that his performance just now was not bad - due to the high level of mental tension, the joints of his whole body had stiffened, if it wasn't for Cao Ang beside him to support him, I am afraid he would fall directly on top of the main hall.

The spicy and strong liquor entered his throat, and Cao Tai's face regained a little rosiness. He tidied up his appearance slightly, feeling that he should not be out of the limelight. After all, in this confrontation, it seemed that Ma Chao was strong, but he still chose to bow to the imperial power of the Han family. This procedure was deliberately postponed because you, Ma Chao, did not dare to tear off the face of the ministers of the Han family!

In this way, it is our Cao clan that gave you this opportunity, but you chose to back down - so, the result of this confrontation is that I, Cao Tai, won! Tilting his neck and drinking another glass of spirits, Cao Tai said to himself in his heart.

This kind of psychological suggestion and alcohol anesthesia are indeed very effective, at this time, Cao Tai looked back at Ma Chao's eyes, and there was already a hint of condescension. He felt that he would achieve a good success in this peace negotiation.

However, Ma Chao didn't care about Cao Tai's provocative eyes, clapped his hands, and sixteen palace maids rushed in, and the officials began to play music quietly, and the atmosphere before the entire hall was swept away, and soon entered a harmonious atmosphere.

"General Cao came to Chang'an here, and it was really fateful. Super self-indulgence into the friendship of the landlord, come, please drink this cup! The smile is still sincere, and the greetings are very polite. And Cao Tai's response was also very polite and courteous, and between the two, they suddenly looked at each other and smiled, which meant that they were smiling and hating.

Cao Tai is an elite talent of the later generation of the Cao family, so he naturally often attends this kind of scene of hypocrisy. After that, the words are also set in a set, which makes everyone feel comfortable in their hearts. It was at this time that Cao Taicai suddenly had the feeling of controlling the entire home field, full of confidence and superiority as a high-ranking valve of the scholar clan was secretly displayed.

However, to Cao Tai's slight surprise, Ma Chao seems to be under this kind of high-sounding official routine, and he is not far behind. Basically, when Cao Tai said a word, he responded with a sentence, which made people feel that he neither couldn't cope with it, nor did he rely on official authority to suppress Cao Tai, it was completely two young talents discussing together. Cao Tai thought that Ma Chao was good at the beginning, and he was very close to the topic of peace, but as soon as he wanted to guide the topic of peace to the specific details, Ma Chao turned a corner without a trace, making Cao Tai embarrassed to pick up his teeth again.

After a few rounds, Cao Tai realized that he was a little too underestimated by this descendant of Bian Sevufu. He talked without leaking a drop of words, and under the careful tasting, every sentence slipped so that his feet did not touch the ground. Cao Tai was helpless, so he had to drink another bottle of wine, and then went straight to the point: "Floating general, today is the meeting of the two families to discuss peace, I don't know what the general's plan is for the ownership of Jizhou and the Cao family's prisoners of war?" ”

"Alas......" Ma Chao's tone was very high, and the wave of his right hand to stop him was also very large. seems to complain that Cao Tai raised such a disappointing topic at this time: "General Cao, today is a banquet for peace, but in fact, I want to talk about the friendship between the two families." Over the past few eventful years, there have been a lot of ups and downs in the two families, which can't help but make me very prosperous......"

After saying that, Ma Chao strode towards the hall, pulled out the iron sword at his waist and danced. He was originally born heroic, handsome and famous, and almost the first person in the Han Dynasty. This time, it was a white brocade dress on the body, swaying, just like a white crane dancing in the hall, which made people unconsciously fascinated.

But Cao Tai looked at Ma Chao's dancing, but he didn't appreciate it. In his plan, after he won the first encounter, he should take advantage of the victory to pursue, force Ma Chao into a corner in one fell swoop, and solve the peace negotiation cleanly. But Ma Chao obviously realized this, and didn't talk about the peace negotiation, which made Cao Tai very suspicious.

'Could it be that he still has his hole cards unrevealed, and he can delay time?' Cao Tai couldn't help but think about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more it was possible. But at the moment, there is nothing to be done, so I can only hold my breath on the sidelines.

And Cao Tai guessed not wrong at all, just when Ma Chao was dancing, a horse suddenly poured into the Chang'an Suzaku Gate, and the poor war horse collapsed to the ground foaming at the mouth when he just arrived at the city gate, just lifting the knight's head.

But the knight got up, and regardless of his ragged robes, he rushed forward and pounced in front of the city defense order, and shouted, "Do you have horses?!" ”

"Yes, yes!" The city gate commander ordered his subordinates to bring a bad horse and hand it to the man: "We are no better than the south here, and there is no shortage of war horses." Although this horse can't reach the general's crotch, it can also be walked....... "Before the city gate order was finished, the knight carefully checked the square brocade box on his chest, and after confirming that it was correct, he turned over and rode away again!"

"Boss...... He's a longitudinal horse on Chang'an Street, what's wrong with you? The pawn who led the horse before looked at the city gate order so respectful to that person, and couldn't help asking.

"You know!" The city gate commander turned around and scolded with a smile, and said mysteriously: "Let me ask you, the only team that can ride horses in Chang'an City is the lord's team?" ”

"You, you mean, that person just now, yes, it's a secret ......." The pawn hurriedly covered his mouth, he couldn't imagine that such a mysterious army in his imagination would appear in front of his eyes in a way called Hanako.

And at this time, Duanmu was unknown, and his heart was even more angry: Lord, I finally understand why all the shadows hate sending letters and things so much. You want to completely lose my 100 catties of meat!
