The furnishings of Liu Xie's dormitory are quite simple, with thin beams and low eaves, plain gauze and thin plates, which are not as good as the ordinary county guard house. And compared to the residence of Fufeng Ma Chao, it is even more abyssive.

Ma Chao looked around, and only saw a black-painted jujube wood table, on which rested a copper crane-beak oil lamp and pen-ink bamboo slips; On a bookshelf there are a handful of volumes. A lacquered bamboo screen depicting dragons and phoenixes stands in the middle, dividing the room in half, and is considered the most valuable thing in the hall, perhaps more appropriately called the house. On the other side of the screen, the candlelight flickered, as if a figure flickered.

Turning the screen, the first thing to enter Ma Chao's sight was the dragon chair he gave Liu Xie. Secondly, it is Liu Xie who is sitting in the dragon chair. It is said that Liu Xie, as the lord of a country, should be much more dazzling than the dragon chair, but in fact, Ma Chao had to admit that the first thing he saw was indeed only the dragon chair.

First, Liu Xie was only eleven years old after all, and his stature was too small. Above the court, looking at the past from a distance, Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair, but it still looked good, but closer looked, the wide dragon chair seemed to fit Liu Xie's entire body into it.

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

Thinking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel 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 an innocent face like a child.

"Ministers and horses knock to see our emperor!" Although Liu Xie secretly summoned him, the etiquette in this regard is still indispensable. Ma Chao flicked his sleeves and prepared to bow down.

But Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, if Ma Zhenxi is such a stubborn courtier, I won't call you late at night." ”

Ma Chao smiled. He wasn't ready to really kneel, but since Liu Xie said so, he naturally wouldn't really kneel down a little kid face to face. After getting up and looking up. Ma Chao saw that Liu Xie pointed to a place with his own finger. There was a seat for the Ma family.

At this point, although Liu Xie is only eleven years old, he is more beautiful than Wang Yun's old man, I remember 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. And Liu Xie only met Ma Chao for the first time. But it's ready.

As a result, Ma Chao unnaturally looked at the nominal emperor of the Han Dynasty, and saw that Liu Xie was indeed very beautiful, not bad. At his age, which does not distinguish between male and female, it is indeed appropriate to describe it as 'beautiful': under the wide and bright forehead, a pair of soft and vibrant eyebrows are very pleasing to the eye. Underneath, there are shiny, dark black eyes. The small but tall bridge of the nose added a touch of perseverance to his entire childish face. Finally, there are his lips, albeit a little thin. But it's very bloody, and the shiny teeth inside are even more endearing.

With such a naïve and beautiful face, even Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a little in love. However, when Ma Chao thought that this kid was already the sect master of Hong Cezong, and he also designed to kill Ma Teng, and he could maneuver between Dong Zhuo and the scholars with ease, Ma Chao immediately woke up and was frightened, and looked at Liu Xie's eyes, which were also a little different.

Liu Xie seemed to sense Ma Chao's vigilance, and after looking at the seats of the two, he suddenly said: "The dragon chair sent by General Ma is indeed comfortable and luxurious, why don't you come and sit on General Ma too?" ”

When he said this, Liu Xie's face was smiling. It looks like all eleven-year-old children who don't know anything about the world. But Ma Chao knew the power of Liu Xie's words, and after a deep groan, Ma Chao said: "No need, when I was in Fufeng County, I had already done this dragon chair countless times......

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, he obviously didn't expect Ma Chao to answer like this, and laughed out loud: "General Ma is really a wonderful person!" After laughing, Liu Xie said again: "However, this dragon chair, sitting in Fufeng, can only stand in Yongzhou." But if you sit in Chang'an, you can stand up to the entire Han. I don't know what General Ma meant by sending this dragon chair to Chang'an? ”

Liu Xie's words had some meaning of reproach. But Ma Chao said calmly: "Cai is the dragon chair, and the seat of Weichen can only be the tiger chair." Sent to Chang'an, it is natural to let its real owner sit in Dingjiangshan. ”

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

"Weichen knows that he is only cooperating with someone like His Majesty, and the minister is afraid that there will be no place to bury him. Just like his father, he is loyal to the country, but he can only come to the sword and axe. ”

After answering this question, the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became solemn. Ma Chao had actually noticed that there were still two masters in the dormitory: according to Wang Yue's confession, there were two other people around Liu Xie besides himself. Although his skills are slightly inferior, if the two join forces and implement the method of totalization, then he will have no power to fight back!

Ma Chao would not risk his life, so when he said this, although his tone was cold, he did not reveal a trace of murderous intent. After Liu Xie listened, he stared at Ma Chao for a while, and then said leisurely: "If Ma Shoucheng had half of the general's scheming and the city government, he would not have died so worthless." ”

"The Emperor's Family, it is really so ruthless, so that His Majesty is only eleven years old, he can already do such unscrupulous means and deny family affection?!"

"Is General Ma questioning me?" Liu Xie sat up straight suddenly, glaring at Ma Chao with blazing eyes. Sure enough, there was an emperor's momentum, but his face was too beautiful, which made his momentum a little weaker.

"The minister doesn't dare, it's just that, as a son of man, he can't let his father die in vain!" Ma Chao did not back down at all, and said to Liu Xie.

Those two breaths became more and more solemn, and Ma Chao knew that as long as he showed any trace of murderous aura, it would attract the two of them to kill as fast as lightning. However, the situation at this time is still under Ma Chao's grasp. After all, Liu Xie is too undefensive about himself. With his skills, he will definitely be able to kill Liu Xie in one fell swoop.

Of course, by doing this, Ma Chao knew that he might not be able to escape from the palace. But as a result, he had already killed Liu Xie. Obviously, Liu Xie deliberately did not defend like this, firstly, he gambled with his own life, which was to shake Ma Chao's mind, and secondly, he also knew that his life did not seem to be as valuable as Ma Chao's life.

Therefore, Ma Chao under reason will not kill Liu Xie. Now, what Ma Chao is waiting for is Liu Xie's explanation, an explanation of why he had some scheming and means when he was eleven years old! An explanation that can make Ma Chao trust, or at least trustworthy!

"General Ma, do you really want to know why I was so ruthless and scheming at the age of eleven?" After a long time, Liu Xie sighed very vicissitudes, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and spoke.

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

"Sometimes, being born in the royal family is not a kind of luck at all. Especially when you are still born in a troubled era, the imperial ......" Liu Xie slowly spoke, as if he was caught in a memory, and told the deepest secret in his heart to the brocade boy in front of him.
