Chapter 312
The furnishings of Liu Xie's sleeping hall are quite simple, with thin beams and low eaves, plain gauze and thin boards, which is not as good as the ordinary county guard's house.Compared with Fufeng Ma Chao's residence, it is a world of difference.

Ma Chao looked around, and saw only a jujube wood table painted black, on which were placed a copper crane beak oil lamp and bamboo slips with brush and ink; a few volumes were placed on a bookshelf.A brightly lacquered bamboo screen with dragon and phoenix standing in the middle divides the whole room into two halves. It is the most precious thing in this hall—perhaps it is more appropriate to call it the house.On the other side of the screen, the candlelight was flickering, and there seemed to be a figure flickering.

Turning around the screen, the first thing that came into Ma Chao's sight was the dragon chair he gave Liu Xie.Secondly, it is Liu Xie who is sitting in the dragon chair.Ordinarily, Liu Xie, as the lord of a country, should have been much more dazzling than the dragon chair, but in fact, Ma Chao had to admit that the first thing he saw was indeed the dragon chair.

For one thing, Liu Xie is only 11 years old after all, and his stature is too small.Above the court hall, from a distance, Liu Xie sitting on the dragon chair looks pretty decent, but from a closer look, the wide dragon chair seems to enclose Liu Xie's entire body.

Second, there is another possibility.That is, now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, Ma Chao can no longer see the majesty of the big man.Just like Liu Xie sitting on the dragon chair, he could only see the magnificence shown by the dragon chair, but the emperor in the middle was completely covered up.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help feeling sorry for that little kid.But what's funny is that Liu Xie didn't seem to realize this, and still looked at Ma Chao with a childlike innocent face.

"Sir Ma Chao kowtowed to see my emperor!" Although Liu Xie summoned him secretly, etiquette in this respect is still indispensable.Ma Chao flicked his sleeves, ready to kowtow.

But Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, if Ma Zhenxi is such a rigid subject, I wouldn't have called you here late at night."

Ma Chao chuckled, he hadn't planned to really kneel down, since Liu Xie said so, naturally he wouldn't really kneel down face to face with a kid.After getting up and looking up, Ma Chao saw that Liu Xie pointed a place with his finger, where a Ma family chair was placed.

In this regard, although Liu Xie is only 11 years old, he is more beautiful than that old man Wang Yun. I remember that the last time I went to Wang Yun's house, after Ma Chao shook his butt back and forth seven or eight times, Wang Yun realized his habit and took out a small bench.But Liu Xie was only meeting Ma Chao for the first time, but he was already ready.

Therefore, Ma Chao unnaturally looked at the titular emperor of the big man, and saw that Liu Xie was indeed very beautiful. Yes, at his age of indiscrimination between male and female, it is indeed appropriate to use 'beautiful' to describe it: wide and bright. Under the forehead, a pair of soft and lively eyebrows are very pleasing to the eye.Underneath, are the shiny, black eyes, and the small but high bridge of the nose, adding a touch of determination to his childish face.Finally, his lips, although a little thin, are very blood-colored, and the shiny teeth inside are even more lovable.

With such a childish and beautiful face, even Ma Chao couldn't help feeling a little bit of love.However, when Ma Chao thought that this child was actually the suzerain of Hong Cezong, and even planned to kill Ma Teng, and was able to deal with Dong Zhuo and the scholars with ease, Ma Chao immediately became vigilant and frightened, and looked at Liu Xie. , is also somewhat different.

Liu Xie seemed to sense Ma Chao's vigilance. After looking at the seats of the two, he suddenly said, "The dragon chair sent by General Ma is indeed comfortable and expensive. Why don't General Ma come and sit?"

When he said this, Liu Xie had a smile on his face.It looks like all 11-year-old children who don't know much about the world.But Ma Chao knew the power of Liu Xie's words, and after pondering for a moment, Ma Chao said: "No need, I have made this dragon chair countless times when I was in Fufeng County..."

Liu Xie was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Ma Chao to answer like this, he immediately laughed: "General Ma is really a wonderful person!" After laughing, Liu Xie said: "However, this dragon chair is sitting in Fufeng. But it can only stand up to Yongzhou. But if you sit in Chang'an, you can stand up to the whole man. I don't know what is the purpose of General Ma sending this dragon chair to Chang'an?"

Liu Xie's words were a bit of a questioning meaning.But Ma Chao said calmly: "Cai is the dragon chair, and the humble minister can only sit on the tiger chair. When it is sent to Chang'an, it is natural to let its real owner sit on the tripod."

"So, General Ma already knows what to do next?"

"I know that I am only cooperating with someone like His Majesty. I am afraid that I will die without a place to die. Just like my father, I have a heart of loyalty to the country, but I can only use a knife and an ax to kill me."

After this question and answer, the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became dignified.In fact, Ma Chao had already noticed that there were two auras of masters in the dormitory: According to Wang Yue's account, besides himself, there were two other people around Liu Xie.Although I am slightly inferior in skill, but if the two of them join forces and implement the combined method, then I will have no power to fight back!

Ma Chao would not risk his life, so when he said these words, although his tone was cold, he did not reveal any murderous intent.After Liu Xie finished listening, he stared at Ma Chao for a while, and then said leisurely: "If Ma Shoucheng had half the scheming and city power of a general, he wouldn't die so worthlessly."

"The Emperor's House is indeed so ruthless that His Majesty is only 11 years old, and he can use all means to deny family affection?!"

"Is General Ma questioning me?" Liu Xie sat up straight suddenly, staring at Ma Chao with piercing eyes.Sure enough, he had the aura of an emperor, but his face was too beautiful, which made his aura weaker.

"I don't dare, but as a son of man, I can't let my father die in vain!" Ma Chao said to Liu Xie without giving in.

Those two auras became more and more dignified, and Ma Chao knew that if he showed any trace of murderous aura, the two of them would be slaughtered like lightning.However, the situation at this time was still under Ma Chao's control.After all, Liu Xie didn't defend himself too well.With his skill, he can definitely kill Liu Xie in one fell swoop.

Of course, by doing so, Ma Chao knew that he might not be able to escape the palace.But the result was that he had already killed Liu Xie.Obviously, Liu Xie was so defenseless on purpose. Firstly, he gambled with his own life to shake Ma Chao's mind. Secondly, he also knew that his own life seemed not as valuable as Ma Chao's.

Therefore, under the rational Ma Chao, he would not kill Liu Xie.Now, what Ma Chao is waiting for is an explanation from Liu Xie, an explanation of why he had some scheming and tricks when he was 11 years old!An explanation that Ma Chao can trust, at least trustworthy!
"General Ma, do you really want to know why I was so ruthless and scheming when I was 11 years old?" After a long time, Liu Xie sighed vicissitudes, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said Said.

Ma Chao has no words, his silence is a kind of default.

"Sometimes, being born in the imperial family is not a kind of luck at all. Especially when you are still born in the imperial family when a troubled world is coming..." Liu Xie opened his mouth slowly, as if caught in the memory, facing the unknown friend and enemy in front of him. The beautiful young man told the deepest secret in his heart.
