() Dong Zhuo's move immediately made Xu Ling and others dare not openly provoke and embarrass Ma Yue. You must know that these counselors who consider themselves Dong Zhuo's confidants have never received such a generous gift from their lord to this day.

What's more, this was given in front of everyone, which naturally showed how much Ma Yue was valued by them.

However, this also caused everyone to become more and more jealous of Ma Yue. They looked at Ma Yue with strong hostility in his eyes, which made Li Ru, who was sitting above, slightly surprised when he saw it.

But at this time, Dong Zhuo still did not forget to reuse Ma Yue. After a pause, he said: "Zhong Ling, there is something you need to be responsible for now. You can't refuse."

"It is Yue's honor to be able to share the Lord's worries, but please give me your instructions." Ma Yue hurriedly avoided the table and said.

"It's about collecting grain. Didn't you think of asking the seven great families to send 700,000 hu of grain to Lintao? This is a big thing, and there must be a person in charge. And by the way, I have so many people under my command.

Here, you are the most suitable person to contact them and accept the food. Therefore, you will be responsible for this matter." Dong Zhuo said what he meant.

This was a decision he made after careful consideration. He had already listened to his report on how Ma Yue dealt with those members of the aristocratic family, so only this bold young man could control those members of the aristocratic family. What's more, Ma Yue was here

After coming to his side, he was actually just a guest with no actual affairs. Now that he thought of using him, Dong Zhuo used this to consider it beforehand.

After hearing this, Ma Yue did not refuse. He held his hands and said without hesitation: "Yes, I will do my best to do this well so that my lord will not have any worries."

"Okay, haha, come on, let's all toast to Zhong Ling." Dong Zhuo didn't seem to notice that many others looked at Ma Yue a little unkindly. He still picked up the bronze wine cup and suggested to everyone with a smile. Since he is the lord

After saying this, others naturally did not dare to disobey, and they also picked up their wine glasses and toasted Ma Yue.

At the ensuing banquet, no official matters were mentioned, and there was no infighting at the beginning. Instead, the banquet was mainly about talking and flattering each other. The banquet did not end until it was close to the second watch. Everyone stood up to leave one after another.

, and Ma Yue also wanted to return to his own courtyard with some unsteady steps.

At this moment, Li Ru suddenly called him: "Zhong Ling, wait a minute." Ma Yue stopped in a hurry, and after he came up, he said with confusion: "I wonder if Brother Wenyou has any advice?"

"Talking while walking." Li Ru walked past Ma Yue without stopping, and the latter had no choice but to follow behind with some confusion. After arriving in the cold outside, Li Ru said softly: "Zhong Ling, don't you think so?"

Haven't you realized that your situation has become very bad? You are still talking so unscrupulously today."

"Huh? Brother Li, please clarify." Ma Yue took a sharp breath of cold air to make himself less drunk.

"Are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused? Can't you see that everyone is very dissatisfied with your current performance?"

"Of course I know this." Ma Yue's eyes were shining in the darkness: "But I believe that if you are not jealous of others, you are mediocre. Since I have performed well, I should be jealous of others.

.”

"There is a saying that not being jealous is mediocre, but have you ever heard another saying, the trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them. You have only been here a few days, and you have made great achievements one after another, making others seem useless in comparison.

Sir, what will this make Xu Ling and others think of you? I'm afraid that by then, you will become the public enemy of everyone."

When Ma Yue heard what Li Ru said, he suddenly had doubts in his heart, why did he care about him so much? Even if he was tabooed by everyone, it should have nothing to do with him. Why would he come to mention him today? He also harbored doubts.

For what purpose?

Li Ru seemed to have seen through Ma Yue's thoughts and continued: "Originally, it's nothing to me that you people are fighting over each other. But you are my lord's subordinates after all. If there are conflicts among everyone, lord

It will be difficult for us to achieve our goals. Therefore, I hope you can work together and not have big differences because of certain issues."

Ma Yue nodded, accepting the other party's teachings: "If you think about it carefully, I am indeed a little bit arrogant today. I shouldn't be so tit-for-tat with Brother Xu. I won't do it again in the future."

"It's not just that you shouldn't be like this in this matter. Later, when the master asked you to be responsible for the food, you agreed too quickly. With your current status, you should have declined first before taking over this responsibility. But.

It would be better for you to accept this task without saying a word, as if you didn't care about anyone else. Do you know that this move has offended everyone? You are not afraid that someone who is unhappy will secretly attack you in the future.

Will it bring unnecessary trouble to the master's important affairs?" Li Ru said seriously.

"This... I have never thought about it." Ma Yue still has some of the ways of thinking of modern people. When opportunities arise, he will seize them diligently. This was also the norm when he was working in the company, but it was really

He didn't think about it with the thinking of people of this era. But he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. Since he was qualified for the job, he should do his part.

Seeing Ma Yue's disapproving look, Li Ru guessed what he was thinking: "You are too proud of your talents. Are you really not afraid of offending everyone?"

Ma Yue took a breath, and then said: "Thank you Brother Li for taking the trouble to remind me, but I think that as long as I have the ability to accomplish something, I should go for it. As for what other people think, it is not my consideration. They

If you have the ability, come and have a fair fight with me, but if they dare to trip me up behind my back and do evil tricks, then I, Ma Yue, cannot be bullied by others, so don’t blame me for being vicious!" He said!

After bowing to Li Ru again, he left immediately.

Watching Ma Yue leave and disappear into the darkness, a strange smile appeared on Li Ru's face: "My lord, it seems that you did not misjudge him. This Ma Zhongling is indeed an extraordinary person. How can he not be afraid?"

The opinions of others are still the same. This person is already above everyone in terms of talent and magnanimity!"

But after Xu Ling and others on the other side left Dong's house, Li Bie and Xu Ling, two lost people who had been ridiculed by Ma Yue at the banquet, unconsciously got together. Looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, Li Bie felt bitter

He let out a filthy breath: "That's unreasonable! This Ma Yue really doesn't take us seriously, and has provoked you and me several times!" He forgot that the several conflicts today were caused by themselves.

"Yes, this man just made a small contribution and is so arrogant. If he really becomes the lord's confidant, will he still have a place for us? This man cannot be allowed to continue to be like this. We must let him go as soon as possible.

Disappear." Xu Ling also said with a face full of resentment. Thinking that the poetic talent he was most proud of was defeated by Ma Yue at the banquet, his whole face was distorted.

"Let him disappear? But it's not easy? He has always lived in the lord's mansion. It would be difficult for us to hire someone to kill him. What's more, there are dozens of guards who have been following him. Those people are watching

It's not easy. Even if he does come out, we won't be able to do anything to him." Li Bie sighed and had to admit that Ma Yue was difficult to deal with.

"It is naturally inappropriate to act so directly. I never said I wanted to kill him."

"Then what do you want?"

"As long as he makes a big mistake in certain things and the lord discovers that this person is untrustworthy and unavailable, he will naturally no longer be able to stay here and will disappear." Xu Lingyinyin smiled: "And this

Once, he took over the task of collecting grain, which gave us such an opportunity."

"Huh? How do you say this?" Li Bie was startled and couldn't help asking.

"Brother Li, I heard that you have a clan brother who works in the granary, so this matter will fall on you."

"What... do you want to do? If the matter is too big, I'm afraid he won't help us." Li Bie quickly started to flinch. When Xu Ling saw this, he was greatly despised, but he still patiently said: "

There is no need to do anything that violates the law, as long as he does something about food, it is enough..." He said softly and revealed his plan.

After listening to what he said, Li Bie also showed a smile on his face: "If you do this, it's really not that difficult. I can let Li Liang give it a try."

"Don't worry, only you and I know about this matter, no one else knows about it. As long as the matter is done, no matter how eloquent Ma Yue is, he will not be able to escape guilt. At that time, driving him away will be the easiest thing.

Punished. That way, you and I will let out a bad breath, and we don't have to worry about this person hindering our status." Xu Ling continued, trying his best to get Li Bie to agree to this matter.

After thinking for a while, Li Bie finally nodded and said, "That's it. I want to see what Ma Zhongling does this time!"
