Chapter 273: Shadow Message
"What if?" Ma Chao, who had been away from home for two days, sat on the top of his house, leisurely sipping tea, and asked the next head. And the next four people, Dark Three Mu Yuanfeng, Dark Five Li Ang, Dark Six Singles, and Dark Seven Qin Shou bowed down and stood at the bottom, with a solemn face.
"My lord, the Dragon Gate Inn is now being expanded, and it should be completed in half a decade." Qin Shou, the shopkeeper of the Qiaoban Dragon Gate Inn, replied first.
"Well, that's good. Remember, you must operate according to the philosophy of 'service first, customer first'. Those storytelling acrobatics and the like are placed in an ordinary individual guest hall; On the second floor, try to get some elegant activities such as blowing, playing and singing, to praise the vanity of those scholars. The VIP room on the third floor is not the best, but the most stylish. Do you understand? Ma Chao crossed Erlang's legs and said nonchalantly.
"The subordinates understand that it is to raise the price high and ask for the price in the future, and take a new restaurant model that appreciates both the elegant and the vulgar." Qin Shou has been studying Ma Chao's crooked reasoning and heresies these days, and it seems that he has now won the five flavors.
"Yo, yes, I'm optimistic about you......" Ma Chao pursed his lips and smiled, this dark seven lived to the next generation, and he was also a high-IQ business manager and the like.
"My lord, my subordinates have visited many places recently, and they have followed the three waves of forces that day. One wave with the temperament of a sergeant is a member of Li Ru's 'Black Ice Platform'; the other wave is obviously educated by etiquette, it should be the generals of Situ Mansion; and the last wave with the atmosphere of a chivalrous man seems to have some connection with the royal family......"
"Royalty?" Ma Chao began to be a little serious: Li Ru's black ice platform, he knows; And the generals of Situ Mansion should be inseparable from Diao Chan; But the royal family shouldn't be at sunset at this time, why are they still hooking up with people in the rivers and lakes?
"Yes, it should be those people in the rivers and lakes who saw the weakening of the imperial power and began to move. It seems that he wants to enter the upper class of the Han Dynasty through this move. "Where is the single still looking like a junior two in the store at this time? Every move is full of pride in talking about the world's major events and meticulous observation.
"Wishful thinking...... Ma Chao pursed his lips disdainfully. He looked at Mu Yuanfeng and said, "Even if the imperial power is on the sidelines, a compromise and cooperation intention has been reached with these reckless people, but if the royal family is really in power." Will knights be allowed to run rampant? Martial arts are forbidden by chivalry, any ruler. It is impossible to accept a time bomb by your side. ”
Mu Yuanfeng has been following Ma Chao for a while, so he naturally knows what that 'time bomb' means. And the three of them were a little confused. But looking at Ma Chao's appearance, he was not interested in answering their doubts at all. Fortunately, the three of them are all smart people, and combined with Ma Chao's previous statements, they can also guess the meaning of the 'time bomb'.
"What's more. Whether the royal family can regain power this time is a matter of words......" Ma Chao drank some tea again, and didn't mind telling these people his analysis: "Even if you can help the royal family bring down Dong Zhuo, there are scholars with deeper thoughts and more clever means." Even if those scholars have the hard wounds of scheming and high-mindedness, they are accidentally overwhelmed by the royal family. But outside of Gyeonggi, there are countless powerful valves...... The Han family, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, has ceased to exist. ”
The four of them didn't understand what Ma Chao meant. But he still kept Ma Chao's words firmly in his heart. Maybe one day, when their consciousness rises to a certain level, they will be able to realize Ma Chao's foresight at this time.
"Those Jianghu people, who are they ordered by?" Ma Chao slammed the table lightly, and said to himself with some doubts: "That little kid Liu Xie will never have direct contact with those people in the rivers and lakes." First, Dong Zhuo and those scholars will definitely not allow it; Secondly. But if that little kid has some imperial scheming, he will also take the initiative to stay away from people, so as to leave some reputation for him when he turns his face ruthlessly in the future......"
"My lord, those people in the rivers and lakes should be the disciples of Wang Yue's martial arts hall and the disciples of Hong Cezong. The one they obeyed should be the princess Liu Yue of ten thousand years! After Mu Yuanfeng heard Ma Chao's self-talk, he directly said the results of his investigation over the past few days.
"Wang Yue? Is that the Imperial High Roller? Your uncle? Ma Chao was interested, and he had three questions in a row.
But Mu Yuanfeng didn't say a word, and only answered Ma Chao's question with a painful nod. Ma Chao saw Mu Yuanfeng's expression, and naturally knew the reason.
"Yuanfeng, although I am not as old as you, because of my different experiences, my understanding of human nature is better than yours. At the same time, you can also experience the pain and confusion when the mansion of your dreams collapses. Presumably, these days, your investigation must be very difficult for you to accept, right? "Mu Yuanfeng has lived in the mountains since he was a child, and his understanding of the sinister world is still a little insufficient. Always hold the beautiful illusion of the best of humanity. But in addition, his martial arts, change, forbearance, perseverance and other advantages made Ma Chao think that Mu Yuanfeng would be an indispensable general in his shadow in the future.
"The lord treats his subordinates like this, and his subordinates ......" During this period of time, Mu Yuanfeng, who has entered the world and has a clear mind, has learned the method of inheriting from top to bottom.
"Don't talk about these useless things, I'm not that Liu Yue, you still need to play this set of fiction with me?" Ma Chao interrupted Mu Yuanfeng's words like a scoundrel, which seemed vulgar, but he won Mu Yuanfeng's heart.
During the period of entering the WTO, Mu Yuanfeng also came into contact with many princes and nobles. When I said that, there was indeed a kind of Venerable spirit in those people. But that kind of breath is by no means as strong and natural as Ma Chao. Although Ma Chao sometimes seems to be indifferent, the temperament that can impress Mu Yuanfeng is not the reserve and majesty of those princes and nobles, but a kind of wisdom that can see through people's hearts.
"My subordinates just can't figure out why he is such a hero, and in the end he will become the person who seeks profit and officials......" Since his thoughts were seen through by Ma Chao, Mu Yuanfeng no longer concealed it. Honestly speaking out about his confusion, he also seems to have a stone in his heart.
"People will always change, how can the water of the Yellow River today be the same as the flowing water of the Yellow River yesterday? Yuanfeng, people do need to have faith and persistence, but that faith and persistence do not necessarily have to be a living person. Speaking of this, Ma Chao immediately changed the topic: "Since you have spoken, let's talk about the results of the investigation over the past few days." ”
This change, in fact, is also very reasonable in psychology. Because most people who are depressed and anxious have little contact with society and work. And once there is work or other things in the heart, mobilizing the energy of the whole body, it is easy for that person to forget those depression and sorrow.
Sure enough, when he mentioned this, Mu Yuanfeng straightened up and replied: "My subordinates have been Liu Yue's personal guards these days. In addition, he has the same relationship with Wang Yue, and has already entered their outer circle. The 10,000-year-old princess Liu Yue seems to be a girl who doesn't like red clothes and loves arms, but in fact she is quite scheming, and she adheres to the royal tradition, and wants to support that Liu Xie to regain power. And Wang Yue, in order to find a shortcut, had something to do with Liu Yue. It's just ......"
Speaking of this, Mu Yuanfeng hesitated. But seeing Ma Chao's interest, he continued to say his discovery: "It's just that his subordinates found that Wang Yue didn't seem to have really reached an alliance with Liu Yue. It seems that there is still a connection with the strong people of Chang'an......"
"Oh? Why is this inferred? Ma Chao was not only interested, but also encouraged his subordinates to make bold ideas.
"When we met for the first time, Wang Yue probably didn't expect me to come, and I didn't intend to see that he had a token of Hong Cezong on his waist. And as we all know, Hong Cezong has always been very close to those scholars......"
"Hmm... In this way, Chang'an is becoming more and more interesting. Ma Chao seemed to agree with Mu Yuanfeng's inference, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but chuckle.
