() On the top of a willow tree in the moonlight, people meet at dusk. Ma Yue and Diao Chan met at dusk at a street corner not far from the Wang family mansion, and there were several pairs of eyes staring at them around them.

Every move.

Looking at Diao Chan carefully, Ma Yue found that she was much more haggard than a few months ago. Apparently, leaving Luoyang for Chang'an and Dong Huang's entangled affairs put a lot of pressure on her, and she was exhausted both physically and mentally.

But at this time, Ma Yue had no time to pay more attention to her, because they would have more important things to discuss.

But before that, Ma Yue turned his attention to Xiao Yan, the maid who was following Diao Chan: "I have something to say with your lady, just go and wait over there."

After hearing this, Xiao Yan wanted to refuse, but Ma Yue glared at her and she lost the courage to argue. She could only look at Diao Chan, hoping that her young lady could speak for her. However, Diao Chan disappointed her.

He nodded and said: "Xiao Yan, just go there and wait for a while. I will go back with you after Mr. Ma and I have finished talking."

"Okay, miss, you have to be careful." Xiao Yan glanced at Ma Yue pointedly, and then retreated to the other side, but her eyes were fixed on the two of them.

Ma Yue didn't take this seriously, because there were already several pairs of eyes around him, and he didn't care about one more pair. Although Diao Chan successfully accepted the appointment to see him today, he was not bothered by Dong Huang.

The people under his command were making things difficult, but Ma Yue knew that they must have acted this way after receiving instructions.

"Master Ma... please take action to save me from the dire straits..." Diao Chan solemnly knelt down and said, "Dong Huang had a bad reputation when he was in Luoyang, and I really don't want to be possessed by him.

.And my adoptive father also had the same thoughts, but he

After all, he is Dong Gong's nephew, and the only one who can help us in Chang'an City is you." Seeing that Ma Yue didn't speak immediately, Diao Chan had to clarify the words herself, and the time she could come out was also very limited.

, the words must be spoken as soon as possible.

Ma Yue nodded: "I understand your situation very well, even more than you know."

"What do you mean by this, young master?" Diao Chan couldn't help but ask after hearing something in Ma Yue's words.

Ma Yue glanced at Xiao Yan who was watching them not far away, and then said: "Even the closest person around you may not be wholeheartedly for you. So I can say that your current situation, girl, is worse than

It's more serious than you can imagine."

"Ah...you mean Xiaoyan?" Diao Chan is very smart, and she understood the meaning of Ma Yue's words as soon as he said it. But then she shook her head in unacceptable position: "This...how is this possible?

Xiaoyan and I have always been sisters, I have a very good relationship with her, and she has always been worried about my current situation, so how could she have other motives?"

"You have to ask your adoptive father about this. As far as I know, your adoptive father knew about this not long after you asked her to come to me for help. And apart from you and me, she is the only one who knows about this.

, besides her, who else can reveal the news?"

"Is this...really like this?" Diao Chan's face darkened, which made people feel distressed. It was obvious that the betrayal of her by the person closest to her and regarded as a sister was a big blow: "Then...

…Then what should I do?”

"Although your current situation seems dangerous, there is actually a way to solve it. But before that, I need to ask you again, can you really make up your mind to never see your adoptive father again?" Ma Yue stared intently.

Diao Chan asked solemnly.

"This..." Diao Chan hesitated for a while, but finally nodded: "After the young master's previous words, I have understood a truth - I, Diao Chan, am not anyone's tool or chess piece. I want to be my own."

And live. This time, as long as the young master is willing to help me escape from this difficulty, I am willing to serve the young master." When she said this, a blush appeared on her face, which made people feel moved.

At first she said that she wanted to live for herself, but now she said that she was willing to serve her. The combined meaning was that she really fell in love with Ma Yue. This made Ma Yue feel shaken, but he soon regained his composure.

After understanding his thoughts, he said: "Let's wait until the matter is completed. As long as you are willing to leave Wang Yun, I will have a way to help you get out of this difficulty this time, but this will also require your cooperation."

"Everything will be at the command of the young master." Diao Chan immediately expressed her determination. She knew very well that she could only get rid of Dong Huang's entanglement by relying on Ma Yue.

"Okay, then you have to listen carefully to my next arrangements, and then cooperate with me." Ma Yue smiled with satisfaction, and then explained what he meant in detail. Diao Chan listened carefully, sometimes surprised, sometimes confused

However, after a long while, he nodded and said: "I have taken note of everything. I just ask you to follow the plan as soon as possible. I'm worried that Master Dong will soon be unable to bear it anymore."

"You can rest assured that when I intervene in this matter, his target will turn to my side, and you should be able to feel a little calmer." Ma Yue smiled and walked away.

Seeing Ma Yue leave, Xiao Yan walked over and said with worry: "Miss, what did he say? No matter how I see it, he is not sincere. It seems that he just wants to deceive or perfunctory Miss."

Diao Chan just smiled faintly: "Master Ma is a man of faith. Since he said he would help me, he will not keep his promise. Come on, let's go back." When pulling Xiao Yan back, Diao Chan's eyes were filled with confusion.

A little more chilly.

The news of the secret meeting between Ma Yue and Diao Chan here quickly reached the ears of Dong Huang and other people who were concerned about the matter. Dong Huang said with a sneer: "Okay, this time Ma Yue dares to interfere in this matter, I will

I want him to know how powerful I, Dong Huang, am, in order to vent my deep hatred. This time I will not only seize that beauty, but also humiliate him greatly! Xu Ling, are you ready?"

"Young master, you can rest assured. We can release some information only after he releases it. As for Wang Yun, although he has not yet agreed, we asked him to agree with us on the condition of letting him and Diao Chan go. I believe he will

It won't last long." Xu Ling smiled confidently.

"Okay, then let all this come to an end as soon as possible!" At this point, Dong Huang's face became a bit ferocious.

At the same time, Guo Fan also learned about the meeting between Ma Yue and Diao Chan, and he had another consideration: "Having Ma Yue involved in this matter is a good thing for me.

Given Dong Huang's identity, I can't really use force on him, but if I can use Ma Yue's hand to teach him a lesson, it would be a good opportunity. Maybe I can put all the problems on him.

…”

"How does General Guo think we can take action in secret?" the trusted generals around him asked quickly. Dong Huang's arrogant behavior previously offended everyone in Guo Fan's department, so this time they all share the same hatred. .

"Let's wait and see what happens. I believe that after Dong Huang knows that Ma Yue has done this, he will not let go of this opportunity for revenge. In the past two days, the situation will change. By then, we will be able to fish in troubled waters. Teach Dong Huang a lesson." Guo Fan said with a sneer.

????????????

"Sir, are you really planning to do this? Although this is a clever plan to draw out the firepower, we still seem to have some shortcomings in manpower." Zhou Yong said with concern after hearing what Ma Yue said.

"Of course I know this. It would be great if Lu Bu and the others could arrive in time. It's a pity that no news of them has come back until now." Ma Yue said, becoming a little worried: "After all, there are not many of them among the people and horses. , if we are pursued by the Kwantung Allied Forces, it will be difficult to escape."

At this moment, a familiar voice came in from outside: "Brother Zhong Ling is so concerned about my safety, is it because he wants to use me, or is it because of the friendship between you and me?" As soon as the words finished, A young man wearing ordinary people's clothes walked in. Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, he still couldn't hide his extraordinary appearance and posture. It was the Lu Bu that Ma Yue was talking about.

When Ma Yue saw Lu Bu's arrival, he was immediately overjoyed: "I didn't expect that Brother Fengxian came so promptly. Judging from your appearance, the Luoyang incident is completed?"

"Exactly. This time, thanks to your plan, Zhong Ling, we were able to successfully succeed and escape unscathed. I have to express my admiration for you here!" Lu Bu said and bowed with his hands. Then, there was something He asked doubtfully: "But you were so anxious to have someone stop me halfway, and asked me to bring dozens of elite men into Chang'an in disguise, but what are your plans?"

"This time, I want to ask General Lu to do me a favor. But as long as this can be done, it will be of great benefit to General Lu's future development in the Xiliang Army. I hope you can help me." Ma. As he spoke, he told Lu Bu all about his intentions.

Lu Bu listened quietly, then narrowed his eyes: "You actually want to take action against Dong Huang? Do you know that this person is Dong Zhuo's most valued nephew, and may be his future successor? Aren't you afraid of being killed by Dong Zhuo if you do this? I don't think you, Ma Zhongling, would do such a risky thing for a woman. You must have something else to rely on?"

"Brother Fengxian is indeed very bright, and I do have my own plan. But before I am sure, please forgive me for not telling the general what my plan is. But this time, I can guarantee that as long as I act cautiously, Dong Zhuo will not be able to do anything at all." There is no doubt about me, let alone you, general."
