Chapter 207
() Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. Dong Zhuo no longer reused Ma Yue this time. News that he seemed to be suspicious of him soon spread in Chang'an City. For ordinary people, hearing this news
They won't pay too much attention to it. After all, this is an internal matter of the Xiliang Army, a matter between the lord and the counselors, and it is really not something they can interfere with. But for Dong Huang, things have become a little subtle.
Dong Huang's hatred towards Ma Yue did not weaken with the passage of time, but became more intense. In the past, he was the only one who deceived others, and no one had ever dared to act recklessly on him, but the last time he attacked Ma Yue in Luoyang City
Yue not only provoked him, but also beat him with a military stick in public, causing him to lose face. Dong Huang always kept this incident in his mind.
As for the Wang family's daughter being snatched away a few days ago, although Ma Yue had sufficient reasons to prove that it had nothing to do with him, Dong Huang still believed that Ma Yue must be the one who did it, just because Dong Zhuo didn't want to take the matter seriously.
There was a stalemate and Dong Huang was deliberately reported, but the latter knew that Ma Yue had won his uncle's trust, so he did not pursue the matter further.
But this does not mean that Dong Huang will give up revenge like this. He is just waiting for an opportunity. As long as Ma Yue shows a slight flaw, he will immediately take action to settle the old and new grudges. But this time, when someone spreads the news
Dong Zhuo was already suspicious of Ma Yue, and when he even sent troops to march eastward without letting Ma Yue intervene, Dong Huang felt that the time had come.
However, this time he also learned from the previous unsuccessful battles with Ma Yue. Instead of attacking immediately, he called Xu Ling and others to him and asked them for advice on how to use Ma Yue. But after they arrived
, Dong Huang could not conceal his excitement, and said with flashing eyes: "Have you heard the news outside?"
"Yes, young master, I didn't expect that Ma Yue would be here today, and he would finally be no longer trusted by the master!" Xu Ling and Fang Zheng said excitedly. They had been waiting for this day for a long time, even longer than Dong Huang.
Even longer, they thought about how Ma Yue relied on their lord's trust and ignored them, and finally forced them to assist Dong Huang. However, these two people were also filled with resentment.
"This is an excellent opportunity to deal with Ma Yue. What do you think we should do?" Dong Huang asked with a proud smile, but it was difficult to hide the revenge in his eyes.
"Although Ma Yue seems not to be trusted by the lord now, he is still a staff member under the lord after all, so we must not really attack him. The only way is to collect some evidence against him to prove that the lord is wary of him.
Correct. Moreover, not only should we be wary of him, but we should also
Eradicate it and avoid future troubles." Fang Zheng also expressed his opinion enthusiastically: "So this requires the young master to send someone to investigate. Ma Yue has been well-liked in the army over the years, and this alone is enough to accuse him of evil intentions.
In addition, the previous incident at Wang Yun’s residence should also be settled.”
"You mean to ask me to send people to his place to investigate this matter?" This played into Dong Huang's heart, and he asked quickly.
"Yes, there is indeed a 70% to 80% chance that Ma Yue did this. Firstly, the adopted daughter of the Wang family was not familiar with him, and he had just come to propose marriage before. How could things be such a coincidence?
Just when he was about to quit, there was a problem with the Wang family over there." Xu Ling said, "Both of them, in fact, what he called
It is not true that he does not have the ability to mobilize troops. Judging from Ma Yue's reputation in the army, he still has a way to bribe some people to work for him! So I also think that he ordered him to do it.
As long as the young master sends someone to find the whereabouts of the Wang family girl at his residence, it will be enough to convict him!"
"Well said! Let's start from here and make sure to defeat Ma Yue completely!" Dong Huang made a decision with a trace of murderous intention in his eyes.
"Young Master is wise, we should take action while there are no helpers around him now!" Fang and Xu also said in agreement. They were also the ones who wanted to eradicate Ma Yue, so naturally they seemed a little anxious.
.
Immediately, Dong Huang ordered his personal guards to rush to Ma Yue's house immediately, and be sure to search there for evidence sufficient to convict Ma Yue. Naturally, these personal guards did not dare to have any objection, and immediately
Under the leadership of Xu Ling and others, they quickly rushed to Ma Yue's house.
At this time, Ma Yue was leisurely reading a book in his house, listening to Diao Chan playing the piano for him.
It was a good thing for Dong Zhuo not to use Ma Yue when he used troops to march east this time. At least he didn't have to be as busy as before. And because the Xiliang army had just set out not long ago, it was not the time to start a mutiny, so Ma Yue wanted to do it now.
All he did was kill time. When the battle ahead started and the Xiliang Army was held back by the Kwantung Allied Forces, it would not be too late for him to take action.
Therefore, in the past two days, although the unfavorable news about him has spread to everyone and many people are worried about him, he himself has not taken it seriously at all. He lived a very carefree life and even
Can the charming Diao Chan add a little more fun to his piano playing?
Ever since Diao Chan was kidnapped from the Wang family by Ma Yue, she thought that Ma Yue would take her as his own. She also had such a plan and decided to follow Ma Yue from now on. But she didn't expect that Ma Yue didn't take her at all.
The meaning of the body is just to say a few words to her every day, or to let her play the piano and dance to entertain her body and mind. This made Diao Chan feel relieved, but he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Is it possible that with his appearance?
Didn’t he also fall into Ma Yue’s eyes?
Ma Yue obviously didn't care about Diao Chan's disappointment. While reading the book, he was still thinking about how to arrange the final game. Judging from the current deployment of troops in Chang'an City, his chances of winning are already very high. Now
There are less than 30,000 garrison troops in Chang'an City, and more than 20,000 of them are subordinates of Lu Bu and Ma Teng. As long as they attack suddenly, they can completely grasp the overall situation. But Ma Yue does not intend to do this, because in this way, he will
If he is truly considered a traitor, then it will be impossible for him to completely integrate the Xiliang army and occupy the entire Xiliang land.
This time, what Ma Yue hopes to see is for Lu Bu and the courtiers to take action to remove Dong Zhuo, and he is just a bystander, which is enough. But there is still a lot of difficulty in making everything happen as he wants.
Yes, Ma Yue had to calculate every step clearly. So although he was holding a book in his hand and the melodious sound of the piano was ringing in his ears, Ma Yue's thoughts were not at all here.
"The key now is, can Dong Zhuo be removed with only the thousands of people under Lu Bu and the servants in the courtiers' homes? Although Dong Zhuo has sent out all the main forces, the personal guards around him should not be underestimated after all, and he
The mansion is shaped like a fortress. If we attack by force, we may not be able to succeed. Once we fail to succeed here, the Xiliang army on the front line will immediately rush back. By then, the outcome will be too unpredictable." Ma Ma
Yue thought hard: "What should we do to overcome this difficulty? Is there any way to move Dong Zhuo away from his mansion and then ambush him halfway up the road?"
"Under normal circumstances, they only need to set up an ambush on the only way to go to court. But Dong Zhuo never goes to the morning court, and when he goes to the palace is also determined by his mood, this is
It's hard to grasp. This matter is indeed a bit tricky..." After thinking for a while and still having no clue, Ma Yue had no choice but to put the book in his hand on the case, then picked up the bowl in front of him and took a sip of wine to quench his thirst.
When Diao Chan saw Ma Yue's eyebrows knitted together, he stopped playing the qin and asked uneasily, "Is the young master upset because Diao Chan doesn't play the qin well?"
"Ah? Oh, no, no, you caressed me very well." Ma Yue laughed and shook his head.
"Then why does the young master always look gloomy and worried? I have also heard that Grand Master Dong refused to use the young master this time. It seems that he is suspicious of the young master... Could this matter be related to the concubine?
In order to help my concubine escape from the pit of fire, the young master did such a big thing.
I am really uneasy in my heart. If the young master is really suspicious of Master Dong because of this, and the young master is in trouble, I will ask the young master to send me out." Diao Chan said, his beautiful eyes staring at Ma Yue for a moment, his heart
He also mentioned it, fearing that Ma Yue would seriously nod his head.
Her words made Ma Yue burst into laughter, and he quickly shook his head and said: "Don't think nonsense, I am so upset because of other things, but it has nothing to do with you. Your matter has been solved long ago, so you don't have to
I can’t be so worried anymore.”
"Oh." Diao Chan nodded with relief, but then asked in a low voice: "What exactly are you worried about, sir? Can you tell me? Although I am short-sighted, I still want to do my best."
"This..." Seeing that Diao Chan was so concerned, Ma Yue couldn't hide it anymore. After all, the success or failure of this matter was closely related to her. But before he could decide whether to tell the truth,
At that time, Wang Feng quickly came over and reported: "Sir, someone from Dong Huang suddenly came to the door, saying that they were looking for evidence that King Situ's house was attacked that day. They said that someone saw Miss Diao Chan with their own eyes.
He showed up, so he must come in and search."
"Ah..." When Diao Chan heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ma Yue's face also darkened. Of course he knew that the reason given by the other party was untenable. They just thought that they had been suspected by Dong Zhuo, so they just found an excuse to bully him. Not to mention that Diao Chan is indeed
Here, even if Diao Chan is not here
, and he had no reason to let these people bully him! At that time, Ma Yue stood up, smiled at Diao Chan and said: "Don't worry, I will protect you and won't let them take you away. You
Go back to your room and rest first!" Then he walked out quickly.
