"Last night, Zhiyuan came to visit late at night, just to visit my friend, or is there something else urgent?"

When Ma Hong saw Shangguan Qian's handsome smile, he couldn't help but laugh along.

"I suddenly came to Xing last night, and I wanted to talk to you at night, but I didn't expect you to sleep, and I still dreamed when I slept, it seems that I dreamed of something happy, so I can't disturb your sweet dreams."

Shangguan Qian smiled even more happily, it was obvious that he still remembered what Ma Hong said in his dream last night.

"Let Zhiyuan smile."

Ma Hong smiled a little embarrassedly, he has been talking in dreams for forty years, and he has been reincarnated as a human in this life, and his appearance has changed, but the problem of talking in dreams has not changed. Ma Hong dreamed about something last night and said something, Ma Hong didn't remember, so he was a little embarrassed.

"Recently, I found a sword, look at this sword."

As he spoke, Shangguan Qian took out a sword without a scabbard from behind him and handed it to Ma Hong. The sword is a gentleman in weapons, and this sword must be a sage among gentlemen, on the surface, this bronze sword is quite old, and it must not be cast in modern times. The sword body is simple and does not leak the edge, the tip of the sword is smooth and smooth, and the whole sword is perfectly cast, and it looks without a trace of flaws. Ma Hong held the hilt of the sword, gently stroked the sword body with his fingers, a calm and heavy breath spread from the hilt to his veins and spread in his body, and finally that breath drilled into his chest, Ma Hong was opening his mouth and shouting, the breath gushed out, this breath was really warm and powerful.

"Do you know where this sword came from?"

Shangguan Qian picked up a soybean with this chopstick and slowly put it in his mouth, then swallowed it with a sip of wine, and then said to Ma Hong.

"Forgive Hong's clumsiness, I really can't see the origin of this sword."

Ma Hong looked at the sword and couldn't help but stand up and dance twice.

"This sword is called the sun covering, and it is the head of the eight swords of the king of Yue."

Shangguan Qian said this and took chopsticks to pick up the soybeans, and the boiled soybeans were eaten together with rice wine, which had a unique flavor.

"It turned out to be the Yue Wang Sword, so it was."

Ma Hong looked at the sword with a surprised expression and continued to dance.

Shangguan Qian saw Ma Hong playing with his sword, smiled slightly, picked up a soybean with chopsticks and threw it towards Ma Hong.

Ma Hong opened his mouth to catch the soybean, sat down, put the sword down and said, "Where did this sword come from?" ”

Shangguan Qian pointed to the ground with his finger, meaning that it was dug out of the ground.

Ma Hong also couldn't find out where the sword was dug up, after all, the most likely place to dig out of the ground was the tomb.

"It's a good sword."

Ma Hong sincerely appreciated.

"The sword is a good sword, but your swordsmanship is too bad. I was thinking of giving you this sword? Now I hesitate. ”

Shangguan Qian chewed soybeans, stood up slowly, walked to the window, opened the bamboo curtain, and looked out.

"I don't dare to take such a precious thing."

Ma Hong smiled and looked at Shangguan Qian's back, Shangguan Qian was tall, standing on the windowsill, the sun was shining on his body through the window, like an out-of-body sword, heroic and compelling.

The person who said that Ma Hong's swordsmanship was poor, Shangguan Qian was not the first, and he would definitely not be the last, holding a sword in his hand, but with clumsy swordsmanship, Ma Hong himself was embarrassed.

"Of course, no matter how much you hesitate, the sword still has to be sent, after all, I still want you to stab Cao Cao in the back."

Shangguan Qian turned around and leaned against the windowsill, looking directly at Ma Hong, the sunlight that wiped his face was a little cold.

"So, are you Yuan Shao's person?"

Ma Hong was slightly stunned, and then asked slowly.

"Strictly speaking, I'm just the third son, Yuan Shang's person."

Shangguan Qian replied.

Ma Hong didn't speak, just silently picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth, he knew that even if he didn't speak at this time, Shangguan Qian would lead the topic down.

"Your strategy to capture Wancheng this time is really ingenious, and a plague invasion of the city forced Cao Hong to abandon the city and flee. If Yuan Shao had people like you, Yuan Shao would not have been planted in Cao Cao's hands one after another. ”

Ma Hong saw that Shangguan Qian called Yuan Shao's name directly, and did not call Yuan Shao the lord, so he roughly understood the relationship between Shangguan Qian and Yuan Shao. Ma Hong smiled slightly and said: "Zhiyuan praises it, I see that there are a lot of wise people under Yuan Gong, is it possible that Zhiyuan can't look down on it?" ”

"It's all in name."

Shangguan Qian smiled back.

"Whether Zhiyuan persuades me to surrender to Yuan Gong or persuade me to raise troops to help Yuan Gong capture Xudu, I will disappoint Zhiyuan."

Ma Hong said straight to the point, Shangguan Qian is a smart person, and it is the best choice to talk to smart people without going around in circles.

"You misunderstood, I am not loyal to Yuan Shao, how can I persuade you to surrender to Yuan Shao. In addition, the lord of Jingzhou is Liu Biao, and now Liu Biao just wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, how can you disobey Liu Biao? ”

"Then Zhiyuan, what do you mean by letting me stab Cao Cao in the back?"

"Just show your knife and make a gesture to stab."

"Does Zhiyuan mean that I just need to let Cao Cao always be vigilant about my Wancheng's movements, and make him feel that I will attack at any time?"

That's exactly what it means. If you are in a hurry, you can take the army out of the city to practice, and let Cao Cao pay more attention. ”

"Oh! In this way, Zhiyuan, you just let me attract Cao Cao's eyes, and you must have planned something important there, maybe that place is Cao Cao's rear, right? ”

"Exactly, it's just that I can't tell you in detail which piece of Cao Cao's land will make a fire."

Ma Hong carefully thought about what would happen next in history, and then he knew that Cao Cao's land would be on fire, and it must be Runan. According to historical records, Liu Bei once led an army to stir up Cao Cao's rear with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Runan, and Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to defeat Liu Bei and pacify the ****.

Thinking of this, Ma Hong smiled and said, "Runan? ”

Shangguan Qian's smile froze, and he looked at Ma Hong in a daze and asked, "How did you know?" ”

Ma Hong smiled: "Intuition. ”

Shangguan Qian said: "This sword is given to you." ”

Ma Hong smiled: "It just so happens that I really like this sword. ”

Shangguan Qian shook his head and said, "The swordsmanship of the person who taught you to practice swords is too poor, I think you have to change your master." ”

Ma Hong smiled, raised his glass, and drank it all.

Ma Hong and Shangguan Qian are both smart people, but the way they drink is not smart, they just pour wine into their mouths, as if they want to drink more than anyone. As a modern person, accustomed to drinking modern liquor, and then drinking ancient rice wine, Ma Hong didn't believe that Shangguan Qian could beat himself in drinking, Ma Hong was so confident that he was so confident that he was drunk. Whether Shangguan Qian was drunk or not, Ma Hong didn't know, but when Ma Hong woke up, Shangguan Qian was no longer there, leaving only the sword.

When Ma Hong woke up, it was already night, and Wei Yan was sitting in the private room looking at Ma Hong with an expression that was not good-looking.

Ma Hong rubbed his temples and looked at Wei Yan in a little surprise and said, "Wen Chang, why are you here?" ”

Wei Yan said respectfully: "It seems that you are really drunk, didn't you transfer me to Wancheng?" ”

Ma Hong rubbed his pale face, only felt that his stomach was full of wine, and he wanted to vomit when he spoke. Hearing Wei Yan's words, Ma Hong immediately remembered this, but Ma Hong didn't know why Wei Yan was here, so he asked, "I mean, Wen Chang, why are you in this room." ”

"After coming down to Wancheng, I went to your house to meet you, but you happened to be not there, so I came to this tavern to have a few glasses of wine, but I didn't expect to see you standing drunk in the lobby of the tavern and undressing, so I helped you back."

Wei Yan's expression was very serious when he spoke, and he always used honorifics to call Ma Hong "you", but that serious expression was definitely faked, because his eyes were smiling, and he was about to hold back.

Ma Hong listened to Wei Yan's words, and asked with a pale face: "I took off my clothes in the lobby, you are serious." ”

Wei Yan nodded and said, "To be precise, it's not about taking off your clothes, it should be that you want to relieve your hands, but you can't find the latrine, so you use the lobby as a latrine." ”

At this time, Ma Hong's heart suddenly collapsed, Wei Yan didn't look like he was lying, but he really lost that memory, he was really unconscious. Ma Hong covered his face and said in a trembling voice: "Is it really convenient for me to be in the lobby?" ”
