Forty-one The river is accompanied by the rain, and the white-faced cedar fir is longitudinal to the south of Chu

[bookid=3271478,bookname="Feather does not ascend to the immortal"] continue to recommend a friend's book, a very good Xianxia novel.

Ma Xiguang hesitated endlessly, and it was difficult to decide, after all, he had worked with Liu Mufeng for two years, and he had a strong brotherly affection, and the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers was also very strong, and he always treated him as his own brother, how could he be willing to take his life if such a thing happened? Not to mention that Ma Xiguang did not believe that Liu Mufeng would do something unfavorable to him, so he delayed it for a long time.

One day a month later, the judge's palace suddenly underwent a drastic change, Li Hao was stabbed, according to the people in the palace, only three figures were seen: one holding a folding sword, one holding a crescent shovel, and one holding a double mace. As soon as Li Hao walked out of the study, three people fell from the roof opposite, and the crescent shovel was thrown in the air, Li Hao was poked in the throat, and before he could react, a folding sword flew out from the side and cut off Li Hao's head.

Hearing the sound, the next person rushed to see a person covered in snow-white, like a feathered immortal, holding Li Hao's head in his hand, stepping on a false step, away from the study, dripping with blood, following him everywhere, dripping to the ground, and then the three figures jumped on the roof at the same time to meet him, and in the blink of an eye, he didn't even see what he looked like.

Ma Xi was shocked and panicked when he heard this.

Some people suspected that this was Liu Mufeng's deliberate revenge, so Ma Xiguang immediately sent someone to summon Liu Mufeng to confront him, and also summoned Colonel Zhang Shaodi by the way.

It is said that Zhang Shaodi was hit by the highly poisonous arrow wood that saw the blood and sealed his throat, and died, and the people in the colonel's mansion could not find out how he was poisoned, anyway, after a night, I saw Zhang Shaodi lying on the bed, with blood oozing from the pupils, nostrils, and corners of the mouth, Zhang Shaodi's wife died on the spot because she couldn't stand the fright, but when the people in Zhang's mansion were buried, Zhang Shaodi's head also disappeared.

In this way, the courtiers suspected that this was Liu Mufeng's doing, and after three or four days, Liu Mufeng could not be found, and even Ma Xiguang, the king of Chu, began to suspect it.

After two months like this, coinciding with the cold winter wax moon, Liu Mufeng suddenly came back, and as soon as he appeared, someone immediately led troops to surround him.

Liu Mufeng was also calm, but there was no resistance, and when he was bound, he threatened to see Ma Xiguang to say it in person.

When he was escorted to the main hall, Ma Xiguang raised his eyebrows, stared at him for a moment, turned sharply and pulled out the sword presented by the eunuch, and Angang walked to Liu Mufeng, one step was cold, and in an instant, the sword was ruthlessly placed on Liu Mufeng's shoulder.

Ma Xiguang looked directly at Liu Mufeng and asked: "Why do you do this? Lone self-ask does not treat you badly, since you entered the court, in the past two years, you have often put your heart in your heart and trusted in every way, when you are a brother, who would have thought that you would be cruel, take revenge without authorization, and kill Lone's left and right virtuous ministers, who gave you such courage?"

Ma Xiguang's face was pale with anger, his voice trembled, almost incoherent, the sword shook repeatedly in his hand, and he was sullen, and he was obviously extremely excited.

Liu Mufeng's hands were bound by iron ropes, and he had no power to resist, and in the face of Ma Xiguang's questioning, he suddenly began to look up and laugh: "Ha-ha-ha-hahaha-"

Seeing that he had no fear and was not intimidated by his own king, Ma Xi was angry and shouted, "Don't laugh!"

Liu Mufeng lowered his eyes, stared at him and snorted coldly, regardless of the coercion on his shoulder and neck, he took a few steps forward, approached Ma Xiguang and threw back: "Why can't the minister laugh? Liu Mufeng was born and died for His Majesty, running around, and only then did he persuade the barbarian army to join forces with us, does Your Majesty know who the minister met there, it is His Majesty's good brother Ma Xicao——"

He stared at Ma Xiguang hatefully, and stepped forward step by step: "Your Majesty, do you know what he is doing there?"

Ma Xiguang was stopped by him, and was even more shocked by this sudden news, retreated slightly, and said, "Is it - is he still not dead?

As soon as the words came out, Ma Xiguang suddenly froze on the ground, it was hard to believe that his brother hated himself so much, and he had to seek the position of king of Chu.

Liu Mufeng was full of ridicule and hatred: "For the sake of Your Majesty's brotherhood, the minister offended Li Hao and Zhang Shaodi, Your Majesty's brother fled, Your Majesty is down-to-earth, but what about the minister? The minister is infamous every day, and they have repeatedly participated in the performance, vowing to execute the minister and then quickly, they are dead, and Your Majesty will come to the minister to ask for guilt." If you keep saying that you will be treated favorably, then why doesn't Your Majesty ask your ministers why they have disappeared these days? Is there any danger for your ministers? Your Majesty doesn't want to think about what if the ministers send someone to kill them, why do they come back, wouldn't it be self-defeating?"

Ma Xiguang trembled when he heard this, and blurted out: "It was really not killed by Aiqing?"

Liu Mufeng's face is cold, don't overdo it, act angry, and ignore it.

Ma Xiguang thought for a while, and hurriedly shouted to the guards in the main hall: "Hurry—let go of the political sage." ”

The guards obeyed the order and hurriedly stepped forward to untie the willow wind.

Liu Mufeng lowered his head and rubbed his arms, and he didn't speak, not knowing whether he was happy or worried, as if he was thinking about things.

Ma Xiguang looked at him for a moment, and saw that it was really difficult for him to teach him to endure hardships, so he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he hurried a few steps forward, patted Liu Mufeng on the shoulder, and the two ran to the imperial study together, and when they got inside, Ma Xiguang hurriedly asked about the ins and outs of this strange thing.

Liu Mufeng looked unfazed, and said slowly, there were several hours, and there was no rest, which shows how complicated things have been during this period of time.

It turned out that the three assassins who assassinated the judge that day were the new killers on the rivers and lakes, the 'Soul Breaker Three', the eldest Yu Canghai had just turned thirty, and moved the rivers and lakes with a crescent shovel, which made people frightened;

When Ma Xiguang heard that the 'Soul Breaker Three' was sent by his brother Ma Xicao, he was immediately shocked, as if he had heard bad news, and then he suddenly realized that he had forgotten his brother?

Thinking about these years, my brother is planning for the throne of Chu every day, secretly hating himself for taking his favor, the last time he attacked Tanzhou, my brother missed for a while, because Li Hao and Zhang Shaodi assisted him, and expected the enemy to be first, so after the defeat of the brother, he will definitely hold a grudge, and he will inevitably cut off his left and right hands.

Ma Xiguang only felt that Liu Mufeng was wrong, and he was ashamed in his heart, at this time, he knew that on the night of Li Hao and Zhang Shaodi's accident, the three soul-breaking guests also attacked Liu Mufeng, and the two sides fought fiercely, and they unknowingly left Tanzhou City.

After leaving the city, it was dozens of miles away to get rid of the 'Soul Breaker Three Guests', Liu Mufeng wanted to go back to the city, but he overheard that Li Hao and Zhang Shaodi were attacked, and under his doubts, a plan suddenly burst out of his mind, when this plan came out, he really regretted it, but blamed it for not thinking about it beforehand.

When Ma Xiguang heard this, he asked puzzledly, "What is it?"

Liu Mufeng stood in the imperial study, took out a packet of medicine from his arms, raised his hand to raise it, presented it in front of Ma Xiguang and said, "King Chu, please see-"

Ma Xiguang stared at the medicine bag for a long time, but he really couldn't see the clue, and couldn't help but ask: "This is-"

Liu Mufeng smiled slightly, glanced at the medicine and said, "This is to see blood and seal your throat!"

Ma Xi Guangcai's standing body suddenly lost his center of gravity, fell softly on the dragon chair, and said in a slumped voice: "What?

Liu Mu Fengmu was expressionless, and said categorically: "Naturally, it is Ma Xicao." ”

Ma Xiguang was shocked and said in disbelief: "The Qing family went to him?"

Liu Mufeng shook his head slowly, laughed secretly, and said solemnly: "This is all thanks to the three guests of the Soul Breaker, and it is the way they lead the ministers-"

Ma Xiguang was puzzled, Liu Mufeng looked up into his eyes, and said confidently: "It's that after the minister left the three guests of the broken soul, he heard that Lord Zhang was hit by the blood and sealed his throat, so he thought that this matter must be related to Ma Xicao, so he did not return to Beijing along the way, and then when he met the three guests of the broken soul for the second time, he followed along the road, only to learn about Ma Xicao's plan, and saw that he was united with the barbarian soldiers, and the minister also wandered nearby. ”

Liu Mufeng glanced at Ma Xiguang's expression lightly, and when he saw that Ma Xiguang was fascinated by what he heard, he was also happy, and he still said about the past few months: "Luo Daqi, the leader of the barbarian army, has 300,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the king of Chu can imagine the scene when the 300,000 army steps into Tanzhou City." ”

As soon as he said this, Ma Xiguang's figure couldn't help but be shocked, and there was a boom in his ears, as if he had heard the tragic scene of hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen stepping through Tanzhou.

Liu Mufeng said again, since then, he pretended to miss and became Ma Xicao's captive, and then made a secret visit, taking the opportunity to lurk beside Luo Daqi, becoming a close friend with him, and becoming a brother in life and death.

Luo Daqi was bold by nature, after a few glasses of wine, he happily agreed, rejected Ma Xicao in person, and withdrew his troops from Ma Xicao.

On the way back, he was killed by the three Soul Breakers, thinking that it was Ma Xicao's unwillingness to retaliate.

He was even more by Ma Xicao to see the blood to seal his throat as medicine, almost poisoned to death, and rushed back to Tanzhou to restore the order, if it were not for the previous practice with the master in the deep mountains, know how to heal the wounds and expel poison, I am afraid that he would have died in the barren mountains and wilderness.

Liu Mufeng was extremely surprised when he saw Ma Xiguang hearing this, so he became even more ambitious, and raised his voice and said: "This package of poisonous arrow wood was exchanged for the price of blood by the minister, but I didn't expect that what was used on the minister was not the poisonous arrow wood, but the ruthless sword. ”

Ma Xi knew that Liu Mufeng ridiculed him for being very suspicious and a little embarrassed, but he couldn't refute it, so he asked the courtiers to accompany him, and personally set up a wine banquet in Liu Mufeng, which was regarded as washing the dust.

After all, the royal is the royal family, and the words of apology can't be said no matter what, Ma Xi is wide and thin, and he has never been able to pull down his face, although he is a gentle and humble monarch, but he still has deep pride in his bones.

The turmoil that filled the city has subsided, and Tanzhou City has resumed its usual hustle and bustle, and everyone seems to have forgotten about it.

But in the spring and March of the following year, Ma Xicao and the army of the barbarians suddenly surrounded the entire Tanzhou without everyone noticing.

The city was besieged, surrounded by enemies on all sides, Ma Xiguang was shocked, panicked, he didn't even understand what was going on, as if he was dreaming, he couldn't help but think back to Liu Mufeng's old oath, but it was too late to dig deeper, Liu Mufeng cleverly said that Luo Daqi must have been treacherous.

The generals of the whole city were transferred to the front and desperately defended the city, and at this moment, Liu Mufeng, who Ma Xiguang regarded as a confidant and brother, led people to rush to the main hall on a night when the palace was empty.

When Ma Xiguang was still confused, Liu Mufeng had already glanced over with a cold face, his eyes were full of contempt, like a blade without the slightest emotion.

Ma Xiguang had never seen him so murderous, he was stunned, seemed to notice something wrong, and retreated in shock: "You...... What are you doing? I'm not sorry for you, you-"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Mufeng shouted at the soldiers on both sides: "Catch him, General Tiance will be rewarded!"

This Tiance Admiral is a kind of Tiance Mansion official system, located above the prince and the three dukes, and is the head of the military attaché, thinking that when Tang Taizong Li Shimin was named the general of Tiance, he was extremely high, only under the emperor Li Yuan and the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and was the third person in the Tang Dynasty.

Now that Ma Xicao is the self-proclaimed general of Tiance, his ambition can be imagined and has been revealed.

At this time, Ma Xiguang regretted it, but he didn't have time to ask carefully, and news came from the city gate that the guard general allowed Joan to surrender.

Ma Xiguang could only stare at Liu Mufeng in astonishment, seeing Liu Mufeng's calm face, his coldness was not comparable to the past, and it was hard to believe everything in front of him.

Looking back on the past, how could I have mistaken this person? This person's acting is really brilliant in the world, or maybe he is really ignorant and ignorant and does not distinguish between truth and falsehood.

At that time, when Liu Mufeng returned to the city, he also said that the barbarian army had no intention of interfering in the internal struggle in Chu, how could this be the case now? It turned out that this kind of thing was just Liu Mufeng's lie.

Ma Xiguang was detained occasionally, and heard another thing, his brother Ma Xicao did not know when he had declared himself a vassal to the Southern Tang Dynasty, that is to say, this siege of Tanzhou, the Southern Tang Dynasty sent 100,000 troops, and the barbarian army sent 100,000 troops, and the elder brother Ma Xicao was not only the general of Tiance, but also claimed to be the king of Shuntian, and completely intended to replace him.

In this way, Ma Xiguang lost Tanzhou, was captured, and was imprisoned in a gloomy dungeon.

Ma Xiguang's hands were clamped, and when the ankle chains were together, he looked at Liu Mufeng and began to laugh in the sky, and the laughter shook everyone in the hall and outside the hall, until the moment of death, and he didn't understand why Liu Mufeng helped his brother.

It is really difficult for him to find out the exact reason, if he says that the future is rich, he is a king, as long as Liu Mufeng speaks, he will not be stingy, can it be said that in the past three years, he thinks that Liu Mufeng is not greedy for a rich future, and this negligence, Liu Mufeng must not be promoted, before he rebelled?

But Ma Xiguang heard in prison that Liu Mufeng supported his brother as the queen of Chu, and he also participated in politics and did not receive any preferential treatment.

Ma Xiguang couldn't figure out what the problem was, and before he died, he asked to see Liu Mufeng and ask for clarification.

However, Liu Mufeng did not see him, and soon after, Ma Xiguang was given to die.

The past is like smoke, the cover is over, Ma Xicao ascended the throne, first of all, the banquet of the ministers, on the merits of reward.

This wine has been toured several times, the hall is brilliant, the dance and music are singing, everyone's interest is also right, and Ma Xiguang in the dungeon has also returned to Huangquan, what else is there to worry about?

Ma Xicao was very happy, but when he thought about it deeply, he felt that something was slightly wrong, and what made him frown was Liu Mufeng.

Two years ago, the first attack on Tanzhou failed, he thought that Liu Mufeng had turned against him, but he didn't expect that not long after, Liu Mufeng would bring the heads of Li Hao and Zhang Shaodi to see him.

Liu Mufeng said very sincerely, this is a belated promise, if it weren't for that sentence, he couldn't have treated Liu Mufeng well, and he originally wanted to kill Liu Mufeng at that time.

There is no doubt that seeing the head, Ma Xicao was extremely satisfied and smiled, and since then, he has been able to break the soul and help him with three more guests.

Thinking that this soul-breaking three guests were originally outlaws, it was also an accident, and they ran into Liu Mufeng when they were doing business, so they killed Li Hao and Zhang Shaodi, and were recommended by Liu Mufeng and entered the command of Ma Xicao, which can be regarded as the end of his killer career.

Later, in the two months that Liu Mufeng disappeared, he stayed in Ma Xicao's camp, while giving advice, while helping Ma Xixu train iron cavalry, and casting steel knives and spears, even the barbarian army agreed to cooperate with Ma Xixu because of Liu Mufeng's eloquence.

Liu Mufeng said again, Ma Xiguang was dependent on the Central Plains Later Han court, so he could sit firmly in the country, and it was Wuling Shuai who attacked the city in a big way, so he would fail.

Since Ma Xiguang can do this, then why don't we follow suit? In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we should find a third party to cooperate, and he analyzed and analyzed, and when it came to the Southern Tang Dynasty, first, the position of the Southern Tang Dynasty was conducive to sending troops, and if the soldiers and horses of the Later Han Dynasty came over, the Southern Tang Dynasty could just resist it; and second, if they attacked Tanzhou, together with the barbarian army, they would definitely be able to annihilate Ma Xiguang's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop.

Ma Xicao didn't know how Liu Mufeng persuaded the Southern Tang Emperor Li Jing, anyway, he went to the half moon, in the depths of winter, Liu Mufeng brought good news, Ma Xicao paid the price is to the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was reluctant, but the situation forced him to obey it, and he went against his will to submit to the Southern Tang Dynasty, so he was able to sit on the throne of the king of Chu.

But Ma Xicao is still curious about Liu Mufeng, or it can be regarded as a temptation, in the past three years of acquaintance, Liu Mufeng has neither become a concubine nor indulge in drinking and having fun, he has never seen Liu Mufeng glance at any woman.
