Chapter 207: The Broken Peach Branch

"Brother Chao, why are you here......" Cai Yan ran to Ma Chao, wanting to express the joy in his heart, but remembered Ma Teng's new funeral, and hesitated to approach. And when she saw Ma Chao's expression, a sense of fear that she had never felt before rose in her heart.

Because he came a little further, Cai Yan saw that Ma Chao's face was like frost, and there seemed to be a faint death entangled on his handsome face. And that dead breath not only tortured Ma Chao's mind, but also rendered Ma Chao into a new ghost who came out of hell!

"Brother Chao, what's wrong with you......" Cai Yan took a step back again, she had never seen Ma Chao so side, so familiar and so unfamiliar.

At this time, the sweltering weather scorched all the emotions, Cai Yan couldn't speak, she hated her current embarrassing identity: if she was already the eldest lady of the Ma family, then she could use her warmth to drive away the sadness on Ma Chao's body at this time. However, a few days ago, her father insisted on leaving, and she couldn't stand her father's death pressure, so she had to obey......

At that time, she knew that there might have been a rift of trust and perseverance between herself and Ma Chao. But what she didn't expect was that the forgiveness she had been vaguely looking forward to in her heart was actually Ma Chao's indifferent and ruthless to now!

Suddenly, Cai Yan felt a touch of wind blowing in the courtyard, driving the newly opened peach blossoms to sway. The heart of the flower trembled, but it was not blown off by the wind......

"Brother Chao may be grieving because of his father's new funeral, perhaps, he didn't blame himself for not saying goodbye......" Cai Yan looked at the peach blossoms that were not blown away by the wind, and comforted himself in his heart.

"A certain person came to find Cai's family......" Ma Chao glanced at Cai Yan, his eyes seemed to turn around with warmth, and then Bingfeng locked and said.

"Father is in the study, Yan'er took Brother Chao in......" Cai Yan tried to save the cold crack between the two, but only heard Ma Chao say lightly:

"No need...... After saying that, Ma Chao strode towards Cai Yong's study, without looking back at the stunned Cai Yan.

During this time, he seemed to pause for a moment as he walked past the peach branch that stretched out in front of him, but then, he stretched out his hand like the wind and broke the peach branch in two!

And Cai Yan looked at the peach branch that was trampled under Ma Chao's feet, as if he was stupid, and looked at the burly and upright figure in a daze. For a moment, she only felt that she was so far away from him, so far away that it was not even as good as not knowing him!

Cai Yan finally couldn't stand the cold and violent torture of Ma Chao, his eyes were red, and he ran away crying. And Ma Chao heard the crying behind him, and felt that his heart was painful, and silently said to himself: Don't look back! At this time, all you have to pray about is that Cai Yong did not participate in the conspiracy to murder his father at all!

Although he transferred these national hatreds and family hatreds to that innocent girl, Ma Chao knew that he had gone too far. But he's a man, a son of Marten, not some bullshit saint! He can't do it, he can't show even a trace of a smile in front of his enemy's daughter who is suspected of killing his father's enemy!

After entering the study, Ma Chao saw that Cai Yong was still concentrating on writing, and he stood quietly in front of Cai Yong, watching Cai Yong's pen.

In addition to the literature such as the history of the scriptures and the good words, Cai Yi has a good calligraphy and is capable. In particular, Lishu has the deepest attainments and the highest reputation, and has the current evaluation of 'Cai Yongshu's bones and strength.

But Cai Yong's best skill is not the official book, but he was ordered by Emperor Ling to repair the Hongbu department (the Eastern Han Dynasty called the royal book collection as Hongdu), and saw the craftsman write on the wall with a broom that sweeps white powder, and was inspired to create the 'Flying White Book'. This kind of calligraphy, with the slightest hint of white in the strokes, seems to be written with a dry pen, which is a unique style of calligraphy.

At this time, it is really fitting to use this kind of withered writing to write a memorial to Ma Teng. Ma Chao saw that Cai Yong didn't seem to see himself, and he was moved and moved to write the four big characters of 'Qianqiu Loyalty'. And looking around, there are a lot of other condolence essays in the study. It seems that these days, Cai Yong has been using calligraphy to express his state of mind.

"Feibai is wonderful, and it is a miracle." After Ma Chao saw Cai Yong finish writing the last word, he said: "Cai is worthy of being a master of Han calligraphy, and I am afraid that Wei Dan under the command of a certain person is also difficult to compare." ”

"Virtuous nephew!" Cai Yong only found out at this time that Ma Chao was standing in front of him, and suddenly burst into tears: "Brother Shoucheng is dedicated to the country and supports the Han family, but he doesn't want to ......"

"So, does my uncle know about my father's entry into Chang'an?" Ma Chao responded coldly, moved his body slightly, and dodged Cai Yong's trembling hands.

"Why is this the case with the virtuous nephew?" Cai Yong was surprised and was stunned on the spot for a while. He couldn't have imagined that Ma Chao would be so cold to him.

"I just want to know, does my uncle know about my father's entry into Chang'an?!" Ma Chao said in a deep voice again, and there was a hint of murder in his eyes: "Or, the matter of my father's entry into Chang'an, there is also the credit of my uncle?" ”

This touch of murderous and joking words immediately made Cai Yong sober up. He looked at Ma Chao with an unknown eye, and said: "Now the Han family is declining, and the people of Li are suffering. Shou Chengxian's younger brother was dedicated to the country and entered the king of Beijing. With the power of one person, he monopolized this mansion and fell, so he felt loyal and righteous, and he should be famous for the ages, worthy of the righteousness of the Ma family...... Although Shou Chengxian brother died without regrets, the righteous Spring and Autumn Period had its own good reputation. The virtuous nephew mourned the change during the festival, and raised troops to attack Dong ......"

"Enough!" Ma Chao took out the sword at his waist, pointed at Cai Yong's neck and said coldly: "Old horseman, you have read thousands of books of poetry, and you don't even understand the principle of 'do unto others as you would like to be done to you?!" ”

"What do you mean? Loyalty to the king and serving the country is what the people of the Han Dynasty should do. Shou Chengxian brother is righteous for a thousand years, and he should live up to a certain pen to leave a green ......"

"Old puppet, Dong Thief respects your reputation, and once threatened you to come back by slaughtering your entire family, and in a few days, he was promoted again and again. Is this how you repay the favor? ”

"The old man thought that Dong Zhuo was a loyal minister who supported the Han family, but he didn't want to be the usurper of the Han Dynasty! Now I can't wait to eat its flesh and eat its bones! ”

"Very good, if that's the case, then why don't you assassinate Dong yourself? Dong Zhuo treats you very kindly, if you are surprised, wouldn't it be a scourge for the Han Dynasty? Ma Chao looked at Cai Yong with disdain, at this time, he only saw through the bones of these stupid and scheming scholars!

"A certain scholar is a scholar, he has no power to restrain the chicken, how can he talk about ......assassination" Cai Yong was not ashamed at all, but said confidently: "Since ancient times, the rule of literature and the main battle of martial arts, this is a catastrophe for the sword soldiers of the Han Dynasty, is it a problem solved by simply assassinating Dong Zhuo?" You have just lost your father, you don't know the righteousness, and you don't care about it...... I hope you remember that you are a minister of the Han Dynasty, and don't let down your father's hard work! ”

"Very good, very good!" Ma Chao laughed miserably, he finally saw the face of these scholars: under their thinking that was completely different from modern concepts, his father and the five thousand soldiers were originally the tools for these scholars to show their so-called righteousness?

"You yellow-mouthed child, now you don't know the righteousness, and you dare to come here to question the old man. If it weren't for the sake of Shoucheng's loyalty, the old man would have let you go down in history and leave a stench for 10,000 years! ”

At this point, Ma Chao was not angry, he sighed leisurely: In history, Wang Yun killed you, a great writer, and future generations still feel unjust for you. Now it seems that you, a butcher who uses the so-called 'great righteousness' as a knife and gun, vainly judge the life and death of the world...... was killed by Wang Yun, it was really innocent!

Ma Chao looked at the angry Cai Yong, glanced at him with pity, put away the long sword in his hand, and left without saying a word......

"Hmph, the yellow-mouthed erector is unbearable!" Cai Yong looked at Ma Chao's back, and couldn't help but be angry, but it seemed that he saw the elegy he wrote again, so he sighed leisurely: "However, for the sake of Shou Chengxian's brother Qianqiu's loyalty, the old man will not bother with him......"

But after the next quarter of an hour, Cai Yong was no longer so sanctimonious. Because, their mansion suddenly broke into countless Xiliang soldiers, looted all Cai Yong's calligraphy treasures, and Cai Yong himself was also tied up like a zongzi, escorted by those wolf-like soldiers, and driven out of Fufeng County.

"Old horseman, you are loyal to the Han family and dedicated to the country. But please forgive the Ma family for not knowing the righteousness of the millennium and the etiquette. If you can't afford to raise your big Buddha, you have eaten and drunk for more than a year, so you will use your ink treasure to pay off your debts. If you come to Fufeng again, don't forget to bring enough coils! ”

Ma Chao looked at Cai Yong, who was thrown to the side of the road like a dead dog, and said with infinite disdain. In the end, he glanced at Cai Yan, who was crying, and resolutely turned around, never leaving a trace of warmth for Cai Yan again!
