Chapter 224: The Beginning

As the time enters October, even the weather in Chang'an can feel the piercing feeling from the cold wind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at Guo Jiase, who had wrapped himself like a zongzi, huddled in the corner pitifully, Liu Xie was helpless for a while.

"Wei Zhong!" He sighed and gestured towards Wei Zhong.

"Whoa." Wei Zhong agreed, took out a tray from the back, and put a wine jug on it, and sent it to Guo Jia.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guo Jia's eyes lit up, snatched the wine jug, poured it into his mouth, and then closed his eyes with a happy face.

Looking at Guo Jia's intoxicated look, Liu Xie felt like a drug dealer, and glared at him a little angrily: "Aren't you afraid that I will give you some poison?" ”

"If Your Majesty wants to kill me, poisonous wine is the best way." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Begging for wine and begging for wine in my Chengming Palace, if you don't say goodbye to filial piety, it should be unprecedented." Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair angrily, looked at Guo Jia's appearance, and shook his head.

"Hehe, the restaurant refuses to give me any more credit for wine, and the Qinlou Chu Pavilion doesn't give me any credit." Guo Jia said distressedly: "Your Majesty, can you advance some of the ministers." ”

"What you owe me, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it off in this life, if you don't want money, if you want people, from today on, Niu Geng will belong to you, Niu Geng." Liu Xie snorted coldly.

"The last general!" Niu Geng stepped forward and bowed.

"From today on, you will be Guo Jia's guard, the rules, just like last time, add another one, Qinlou Chu Pavilion, let him go once every ten days." Liu Xie glared at Guo Jia, he was really afraid that Guo Jia did not die under the wine and five stones, but finally died of overindulgence, with his small body, Liu Xie can now be knocked down with one finger, which is really not worry-free.

"Him?" Niu Geng turned his head and glanced at Guo Jia with disgust: "Your Majesty, can you change someone, he is too slippery." ”

The two are also old acquaintances, although Guo Jia is now a close confidant of Liu Xie's side, but for Niu Geng, he is no different from others.

It was the first time that Guo Jia was disliked so directly, but it was about his happy life, and he could only endure this tone, he looked at Liu Xie with a smile and said: "Since General Niu is unwilling, the minister can only thank His Majesty for his kindness." ”

Change to someone else, with Guo Jia's ability, he is really not scared, what he is most afraid of is Niu Geng, a commodity who admits death, what Liu Xie does not allow him to do, that is absolutely not something to do, otherwise, he is also the world's top strategist, how can he be reduced to getting acquainted with Zhao Yun for a sip of wine, and participating in the martial arts feast established by Liu Xie.

"This is the king's order, and you must not disobey it!" Liu Xie said with a straight face, looking at the bitter faces of the two, he was a little funny, this is the legendary one thing to one thing.

"Whoa!" Niu Geng glared at Guo Jia reluctantly and intervened to receive the order.

"Your Majesty, this is too ......" Guo Jia saw that Niu Geng's matter was irreparable, so he could only retreat to the second, and looked at Liu Xie with a wry smile: "Appetite, Your Majesty, you even have to take care of this?" ”

"This is the original words of Imperial Physician Ji, Fengxiao You are weak and weak, if you don't control it, I'm afraid you will die young." The corners of Liu Xie's mouth twitched a few times, he was so chic all day long, where was the emperor who couldn't eat a beauty every day?

"But ......" Guo Jia didn't know how to express his instantly tangled feelings.

"It's not wrong to eat sex, if Feng Xiao really likes that girl and marries into the family, no matter how nonsense you are, I won't care, I see that Taifu is right, Feng Xiao should also find a woman to take care of you, what does Feng Xiao, the daughter of the Yang family, think?" Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia and said with a teasing smile.

"Hey, Your Majesty doesn't understand this Fengyue thing, if you marry back home, you won't have that kind of artistic conception." Guo Jia said with a smile.

Well, you can put a prostitute/prostitute. This kind of thing is so fresh and refined, it does have a bit of artistic conception.

"In this way, Feng Xiao will serve me for another thirty years, and after thirty years, I don't even ask what Feng Xiao wants, but I have to have a son come out to inherit your mantle and continue to serve me, and when the time comes, I will prepare a good Yin Mansion for you." Liu Xie sneered.

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched a few times, thirty years later, he is also in his fifties, and he can't play if he wants to, what does it mean to prepare for the Yin House?

"Your Majesty, Jia Shangshu asks to see you." Outside the door, a guard walked in and bowed.

"Please." Liu Xie nodded and said.

The guards bowed down and retreated, and Liu Xie turned his head, only to find that Guo Jia was already lying on the chair and falling asleep.

Regarding Guo Jia's performance of not participating in the whole process during this time, Liu Xie can also feel some taste, but he is not easy to interfere in the competition between strategists, so he can only pretend not to know.

After a while, Jia Xu came in with a few rolls of bamboo paper and bowed to Liu Xie: "Minister Jia Xu, see Your Majesty." ”

"No courtesy." Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "Wen He came in such a hurry, but things have progressed?" ”

Jia Xu glanced at Guo Jia, nodded with a smile and said, "Live up to the trust, now that the rumors have spread in Xiliang, the rest can be used only when the time is determined." ”

"Wen He thinks, when is the time?" Liu Xie asked with a smile.

"Now that Xianbei has been restrained by Wenhou, and the busy farming period has passed, the minister thinks that this is the best time." Jia Xu smiled.

"In that case, let's do it." Liu Xie nodded and handed over this matter to Jia Xu to be responsible.

……

Ma Teng has been a little frightened recently, the cause of the incident, even he himself is a little confused, I don't know when it started, the whole Chang'an seems to be spreading the matter of Ma Chao's rebellion, if one or two people say it, but recently it seems that the whole Chang'an is spreading this matter, many officials who expressed goodwill to him when they first came to Chang'an, but recently they have been silently distancing themselves from him, which makes Ma Teng panic.

But fortunately, His Majesty was not confused by this rumor, but even so, he was walking on thin ice all day long, and in private, he secretly sent someone back to find out what happened, but the news he got was that Ma Chao was his Taishou in Longxi, and the decrees of the imperial court could also be promoted in Longxi, which made Ma Teng even more at a loss, where did this rumor come from?

The first one that came to mind was Han Sui, but soon this idea was dispelled by Ma Teng, if this kind of thing happened in Xiliang, Ma Teng absolutely believed that it was Han Sui who did it, but this is Chang'an, Han Sui doesn't have that ability, and his hands are not so long.

But besides Han Sui, who else was so vicious that he wanted to die?

Ma Teng thought about the officials he had contacted during this time, but he couldn't come up with a clue.

Dragging his somewhat tired body, Ma Teng returned home, and saw Ma Tie's blue nose and swollen face coming back from another direction.

"Why is that, my son?" Ma Teng frowned and looked at Ma Tie.

"Xie Cheng made a lot of nonsense in the martial arts hall, saying that the brother is not, the child is angry, he reasoned with him, and finally fought, then Xie Cheng is despicable, if he can't beat the child, go find a helper!" Ma Tie said with an atmospheric face.

"In the last few days, I won't go to the martial arts hall for a while." Ma Teng sighed, if he had a choice, he also wanted to put down the things at hand and hide at home to avoid suspicion, but he was not one of those prestigious families, as soon as he entered Chang'an, there were some things that he didn't want to do: "For my father, wait for you to talk to the martial arts hall." ”

"Whoa." Ma Tie responded respectfully, it was a good thing for him not to go to the martial arts hall, and he was even a little happy.

Sent away Ma Tie, but Ma Teng was in a state of mind, sitting on the chair and thinking for a long time, but still a little unnatural, after a while, he seemed to have made a decision, stood up, and shouted outside the door: "Lu Song!" ”

"My lord, what's the matter?" A somewhat stocky man came in and bowed to Ma Teng.

"You go back to Longxian again and bring me a letter to Meng Qi." Ma Teng thought for a moment.

"Whoa."

Ma Teng quickly wrote a letter to his family, handed it to Lu Song, and said solemnly: "Remember, you must hand over this letter to Meng Qi with your own hands." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I remember my humble duties." Lu Song hurriedly saluted again: "I don't know when I should get up?" ”

"The sooner the better." Ma Teng thought for a while, and then said: "Set off immediately, this matter is related to the survival of my Ma family, while the city gate is not closed now, you will send it over in the starry night." ”

"Whoa!" When Lu Song heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and after saying goodbye to Ma Teng, he led a war horse out, put the bamboo tube on his back, and quickly went out of the house under Ma Teng's gaze.

However, Lu Song did not go out of the city immediately, but carried a bamboo tube on his back, and after leaving the Pingxi General's Mansion for a distance, he turned a corner and entered an alley, and then turned around, and after making sure that no one was following, he stored the war horse in an inn, changed his clothes, and quietly came to an inconspicuous house in Chang'an District.

Someone blindfolded him, and then entered a secret room from the backyard of the house, and after walking for some reason, Lu Song was removed from the black cloth that was blindfolded.

In front of him is an airtight secret room, the light in the secret room is flickering by the candlelight, a man wrapped in a cloak sits opposite him, he doesn't know who the other party is, but he knows that the other party is in control of his own net worth and life, his own woman, and his son are all controlled by the other party, and there is no way not to listen.

"General Lu, you did a good job this time." Looking at the gradual development of Lu Song's back, the man stretched his hand out of the cloak.

"When will you be willing to let my family go?" After hesitating for a moment, Lu Song finally gritted his teeth and handed the bamboo note to the other party, and roared a little hoarsely.

"Soon, as long as you help me finish the last thing, your woman, son, and even a lot of wealth will be given to you." The man in black's voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded a little chilling.

"What the hell is going on?" Lu Song hissed.

“…… That's it, if it does, all the promises made will be fulfilled. The man in black whispered in his ear before smiling.

"Okay, I promise you!"
