Chapter 381: Uninvited Guest
Empress Dowager Dong's words came from Luan Jia again: "Don't blame Jian Shuo, the fault is your own fault!" ”
Princess Wannian immediately withdrew her eyes and said with a smile, "How could it be? It's too late for her granddaughter to love Jian Qing, how can she blame him too much! Jian Qing, you said yes, right? ”
Jian Shuo shuddered even more when he said this, and Jian Shuo responded in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, His Royal Highness has always been very good to the old slave......
Princess Wannian left in a huff, full of worries about how to copy so many words of the "Book of Filial Piety".

After settling into the new home, it was already late at night. Ma Chao was tired for a day, and just wanted to go back to the main room to rest, but the person sent by Jian Shuo came to the door. Ma Chao also thought that Jian Shuo wanted to strengthen ties with him so that he could share information in the future. But unexpectedly, the person sent by Jian Shuo told Ma Chao that the Ten Standing Servants planned to visit him secretly tonight and asked him to prepare early.
Ma Chao was very surprised, he didn't expect that he had just arrived in Luoyang City on the first night, and the ten permanent servants couldn't wait to come. Ma Chao hurriedly found Jia Xu and Man Chong to discuss, and the three of them summed it up, after all, now that Ma Chao is on the same page as the foreign relatives group, then he should get closer to the eunuch group that is also standing on the opposite side of the foreign relatives. In this regard, Ma Chao was slightly unhappy, after all, it was really disgusting to walk with a group of eunuchs who brought disaster to the country and the people. But the situation has developed to this point, and Ma Chao also knows that only by uniting all the objects that can be united can he enhance his strength and get closer and closer to the goal he wants to achieve.
While the three were discussing, Koji Yi came to report that there were thirteen people at the back door of the horse house asking to see him. Ma Chao temporarily let Jia Xu and Man Chong hide behind the screen, and let Lu Yi let the thirteen people in. After a while, Koji Yi took thirteen people into the main hall. Ma Chao looked at the thirteen people, all of whom were wearing black brocade cloaks. Although Ma Chao couldn't see the faces shrouded in the shadow of the cloak clearly, he could feel an evil aura on those people.
Standing in the center of the main hall, in front of Ma Chao, these thirteen people slowly took off their cloaks and hats covering half of their faces with their hands. Ma Chao looked eagerly, these thirteen people were all white-faced and beardless, with high cheekbones, thin lips, slender eyes, wrinkled faces full of age spots, and a cold face. Ma Chao took a second look, Jian Shuo was also among them, and Jian Shuo, who had a strong face and a strong physique, stood out against the backdrop of these ten people.
While Ma Chao was looking at these people, these people were also looking at Ma Chao with cold eyes. Seeing that Ma Chao didn't get up and salute for a long time, the first person said coldly: "Is it Guangluxun Ma Chao at your feet?" ”
This person's duck cavity made Ma Chao's ears a little itchy when he heard it. Seeing that the leader was so arrogant, Ma Chao was very dissatisfied, so he just sat upright in his seat, did not get up, and replied: "Exactly." I don't know where you are sacred? ”
When the first person heard this, he turned around and smiled coldly with the others, then turned his head and said coldly: "I wait for thirteen people, and the world is famous." Ma Qing actually didn't recognize me? ”
Ma Chao said lightly: "You are the ten permanent servants that people in the world often say? ”
The leader bowed his head slightly, then pointed to himself and everyone behind him, and said: "Exactly, I am Zhang Rang, he is Zhao Zhong, this is Xia Yun, this is Guo Sheng, this is Bi Lan, this is Sun Zhang, this is Duan Qi, this is Li Song, this is Zhang Gong, this is Gao Wang, this is Zhang Kui, this is Song Dian, this is Jian Shuo." ”
Ma Chao looked at each of the middle attendants one by one, and saw that Jian Shuo was winking at him, and knew in his heart that Jian Shuo was still with him. With Jian Shuo ambushed among the Ten Standing Attendants, Ma Chao could also learn the plans of the Ten Standing Attendants and others as soon as possible. Therefore, Ma Chao also winked at Jian Shuo.
Seeing that the ten permanent servants were so arrogant, probably wanting to step on his head and absorb him as their thug, Ma Chao was a little displeased. Ma Chao didn't get up, but sat on the seat, cupped his fists perfunctorily, and said, "Long up, long up, please sit." ”
Zhao Zhong saw this, and said dissatisfiedly: "Since you have already learned the identity of us, why don't you get up and salute?" ”
Ma Chao was about to answer, but he heard Bi Lanyin sneer: "You can know that among the people in this capital, the one who dares to be so contemptuous to us is the first person." ”
Ma Chao glanced at Bi Lan lightly and didn't speak. Immediately afterwards, Song Dian also sneered: "Even if the general He Jin sees us, he must be courteous." I have just entered Beijing, and it is unwise to dare to be so rude. ”
Ma Chao smiled coldly and said, "Oh? Didn't I invite you to sit down and do the courtesy of your master? Where is the faux pas? ”
Zhang Rang's dry face twitched slightly, and he said coldly, "Could it be that I remembered wrongly?" Isn't it just a Guanglu xun under his feet? ”
Ma Chao said lightly: "You are just the subordinate officials of the Shaofu, I am Guangluxun, and I am the Jiuqing with the Shaofu." As for the rank and low, you should salute me. ”
Upon hearing Ma Chao's words, the Ten Standing Servants did not continue to sneer, but looked at each other. Originally, they thought that Ma Chao was just a frontier warrior, and the previous Duan Cheng and Huangfu Gui were much stronger than him, and they had to surrender to them, so they took the initiative to visit late at night, and Ma Chao would definitely be sincerely afraid and respectful to them. And there was a clash under Guangyang Gate today, Ma Chao has angered the general He Jin, in order to protect himself, Ma Chao will definitely hug their thighs. But who knew that Ma Chao was so unruly and treated them with the attitude of treating the general He Jin. This was a surprise to the ten permanent servants, who were accustomed to the flattery of others.
Ma Chao was very disgusted with eunuchs in his heart, and when he saw that these people were so arrogant, he wanted to press him under his feet. The plan originally agreed with Jia Xu, Man Chong and others to unite the Ten Standing Servants also disappeared at this moment.
Ma Chao said coldly: "Since you are unwilling to salute me, I can't blame you." It's late at night, so please go back! ”
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and the others saw Ma Chao's resolute attitude, and Zhao Zhong said: "Have you forgotten what happened today?" ”
Ma Chao knew the thoughts of these ten permanent servants, and they wanted to use He Jin, who was at odds with him, to force him to bow his head. Ma Chao said coldly: "I don't know what Zhao Changshi is talking about, but if what Zhao Changshi said is about Guangyangmen, then I can tell you that it is just a misunderstanding." ”
Zhang Rang smiled: "Now that it's happened, do you still think you have a way out?" Zuxia thought it was a misunderstanding, but in the eyes of the general He Jin, it was not just a misunderstanding. ”
Ma Chao smiled and said, "Oh? It's not a misunderstanding, what can it be? ”
