Chapter 232: Good at dancing with long sleeves
Lion helmet, silver armor and jade-faced man. Eyes like stars, body like a wolf. He is domineering and takes revenge against Xiliang. In the sixth battle, the Wei River forced Tongguan, commanding cavalry and twisting golden spears. ----------"Jiang Chengzi"
Speaking of Shi'a's two junior brothers, they thought that the mantis was stalking the cicada, but they didn't expect that the oriole was behind them, and Chen Long was lying behind the tiles to follow them. Chen Long remotely sensed the opponent's bloodline for the first time and tracked it near a mansion.
Chen Long and Lu Chang went directly to Zhong Yao's inn without stopping. Unexpectedly, another dark shadow followed behind them, and they saw Chen Long and Lu Chang entering Zhong Yao's inn, then quietly leaving and disappearing into the darkness.
Chen Long did not notice this tail. In fact, this black shadow was just one of the special forces sent by Chen Long to monitor the outside of the palace. He was well-trained in the art of stealth and concealment.
Zhong Yao guessed that the man in black entered Dong Cheng's mansion just now. The relationship between the palace, Dong Cheng and the man in black was immediately established. Coupled with Ji Ping who was absconding in fear of crime, it seemed that there was a dark force in Chang'an city specifically targeting Chen Long. organize.
The more Chen Long thought about it, the more frightened he became. After sneaking back to Cai's Mansion, he sent several people to secretly monitor Dong Cheng's Mansion, with strict orders not to expose his identity. If behind this man in black is Dong Cheng, behind Dong Cheng is Princess Dong, and behind Princess Dong is Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty!
The one who poisoned himself was Ji Ping, and behind Ji Ping was the Young Emperor of Han! The most incredible thing happened like this. The two emperors of the Han Dynasty, who were originally the two masters of heaven and fought to the death, actually joined forces because of Chen Long!
Chen Long thought of Queen He in disbelief and the night in the palace before the attack. Could it be that Queen He was also plotting against me?
Early the next morning, Empress Dowager He arrived, followed closely by the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, accompanied by Huang Gai, Xu Shu and a number of ministers. Chen Long put a layer of plaster on his face and made up to look earth-colored. He closed the pores on his body and could only breathe lightly. Queen He couldn't help but cry when she saw Chen Long, who had been lively and vigorous a few days ago, now haggard and withered. Chen Long's inner strength was working to prevent his breath from leaking out. Hearing Queen He cry with great sadness, he couldn't help but give up his doubts about Queen He. At this moment, an extremely dangerous aura emanated from the entourage around Emperor Han Shao. Chen Long's heart moved and he was sure that it was the man in black who assassinated him that day.
Chen Long resisted the urge to open his eyes and look over, trying to calm down his breathing. He didn't know if he could hide it from this murderous master. Chen Long kept his special hermit aura firmly in mind.
The visit of Emperor Han and Shi A was naturally recorded by the secretly monitored special forces team. The common conclusion of Shi A and Emperor Han was that Chen Long was indeed not dead yet.
Shi A was not used to being with the Young Emperor of Han. After all, his master was Wang Yun's clansman and close friend, and Wang Yun supported the Young Emperor of Han. Shi A didn't even know how to address Young Emperor of Han, so he had to vaguely call him the emperor.
"Your Majesty," Shi A cupped his hands towards Liu Bian and said, "It seems that Chen Long is indeed not dead. Although the poison given by Ji Ping failed to kill him immediately, it seemed to have affected his brain and made him Unconscious."
"But what puzzles me is that his body doesn't seem to be injured, and his breathing is too deep and steady. I wouldn't be surprised if he was practicing Turtle Breath Kung Fu."
The Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty said suspiciously: "Shi Qing's family, are you saying that Chen Long is pretending?"
"Even if it wasn't a disguise, he was definitely not poisoned." Shi A vowed.
The Young Emperor of Han sat down on the dragon chair, and Nan Nan asked: "In this case, what should we do?"
Shi Adao: "It seems that I have to ask the Immortal Master for instructions." He lightly cupped his hands and turned away.
The Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty was slightly angry and had nothing to do with him, so he said to his confidants: "In the afternoon, Prince Xuanfu, Wu Zilan, Dong Cheng, Zhong Ji, and Wu Shuo came to see me and went directly to the imperial study to discuss matters. Take me with you. Take the jade pendant with you and ask Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang, to report to Chang'an City with strong soldiers." The man hurried away.
Ma Teng, courtesy name Shoucheng, was born in Maoling, Fufeng. He was a great warlord who separatized Liangzhou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, the father of Ma Chao, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, and the uncle of Ma Dai.
Ma Teng is more than eight feet long, has a huge body, a majestic face and nose, a virtuous and loyal character, and is respected by everyone. In the last years of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he was employed by the state and county offices in the army, took charge of the tribes, and was moved to the rank of general. After Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, was killed by the rebels, Ma Teng, Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others jointly launched an uprising in Liangzhou. In the third year of Chuping's reign, he and Han Sui led the troops to Chang'an and were appointed generals to conquer the west. Later, they tried to unite Zhong Shao and others to kill the powerful ministers Li Jue and Guo Si, but they were defeated and had to return to Liangzhou. After being pardoned, he became General Andi, and became brothers with different surnames with Han Sui. He was promoted to General Zhengnan. After opening the government, he had a feud with Han Sui and attacked each other. Later, he was recruited as a former general. During the holidays, he was granted the title of Marquis of Huaili and his troops were stationed in Huaili.
Not only did Ma Teng hold military power, but he also followed Zhang Ji's advice and entered the court as a guard. He won the favor of the emperor. He was a high-ranking official in the Han Dynasty, good at dancing, and always appeared as a loyal minister and good general. His son Ma Chao was outstanding in talent, arrogant and superb in martial arts. After taking charge of the army, he raised an army to resist Cao Cao, the great hero of the world. The next year, Ma Chao was defeated, and Ma Teng and his other two sons were killed by Cao Cao, wiping out the three clans.
After pressing the button, the emperor summoned his close ministers. Instead of saying anything, he first told the emperor that he had sent a chamberlain. He dressed simply and hurried out of the west gate of Chang'an and went straight to Ma Teng's garrison in the Sanfu area. Since Chen Long's battle in Chang'an, Ma Teng's troops have been stationed in the Qingyang and Changwu areas close to Chang'an, which can be reached by fast horse in three days.
It was a refreshing day, and Ma Teng was competing with his three sons at the weapons rack in the courtyard. The man in the field, dressed as white as snow and standing tall as jade, is none other than the eldest son, Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi. Ma Chao is just 16 years old this year. He is in his prime years. He is strong and powerful, with a fair and handsome face, especially a pair of big fire-like eyes, which seem to contain infinite passion. On weekdays, he likes white robes and plain armor the most. When fighting, he always wears a silver lion helmet and animal belt on his head. He rides a white horse and uses a silver spear. He is nicknamed "Jin Ma Chao" by others.
Ma Chao's weapon on the battlefield is a tiger-headed golden gun. The body of the gun is made of fine steel mixed with iron. It is one foot, one foot and three feet long. The head of the gun is in the shape of a gold-plated tiger's head. The tiger's mouth swallows the blade. It is made of platinum and is extremely sharp. Under the long and sharp spear tip, there is a string of white necklaces hanging coquettishly. When playing with the spear, it looks like white snow, which is very beautiful. There has never been an enemy in Xiliang. Having heard about Lu Bu's bravery, Ma Chao always yearned for a battle.
And Ma Chao's most superb skill is not spearmanship. The unique skill "Li Ju Technique" created by him at the age of sixteen is the most exquisite swordsmanship he has learned in ten years of swordsmanship. It has even surpassed the imagination of his master Ma Mingwang. The techniques are practical, and there are endless tricks for one-on-one combat. They can also be used when fighting with swords on the battlefield. His swordsmanship is superb and practical, and he is still invincible.
Ma Chao, fluttering in white clothes, practiced his tricks in the field, and brothers Ma Xiu and Ma Tie burst into applause. Ma Teng's eyes turned to the distance, and he saw a man brought in by his subordinates at the gate. The man was not polite and walked quickly in front of everyone. Ma Chao put away his posture, and the four father and son looked at the person coming together.
The man didn't say much and raised a jade pendant in his hand. The jade pendant was a hollow-carved Tuanlong pendant. The carving was so exquisite that it looked like it was something otherworldly. Ma Teng was startled. He vaguely remembered what the royal objects represented, and he quickly knelt down and said, "The emperor has a decree?" When the three sons of the Ma family saw their father kneeling down, they also knelt down to listen to the man announcing the decree.
The young Emperor Han's men finished speaking in a hurry, and Ma Teng invited him into the hall to serve tea. The man said quietly: "Tea is exempted. Your Majesty knows that General Ma is unparalleled in his loyalty and righteousness. He is waiting in Chang'an for King Qin of Xiliang's army. General, please do not delay and disappoint the king." After preparing some water, he immediately rode back to Chang'an. .
Ma Teng watched the envoy's horse go away, worry gradually creeping into his brow. Ma Chao said next to him: "Father, I met General Chen Long when I was a child. He has a good relationship with my father and his troops are powerful. How come he has become a thorn in the emperor's side?"
Ma Teng said: "High achievements shock the master, or it may be said that the emperor is not the emperor, and the minister is not the minister. Then Chen Long has always advocated reducing military power and expanding civil rights. How can he not attract the emperor's jealousy?"
Ma Chao snorted and said: "I think General Chen Long has done a good job. He can still retain the symbol of imperial power, which is quite good. The emperor is incompetent and the people are in dire straits. If I were to overthrow him directly!"
Ma Teng pressed Ma Chao's mouth and shouted: "Nonsense! We, after General Fubo, have been loyal and loyal for many generations, how can we say such treacherous words!" Ma Chao shut up in dismay, and Ma Teng gestured to beheaded. He looked at Ma Xiu and Ma Tie again, then turned around and ordered the guards around him: "Quickly call Pang De and Yang Fu to see me."
Pound, the "White Horse General", had a clear character, little courage, strong martial arts, superb equestrian skills, and was good at using a broadsword. In his youth, he served as a county official and an official. During the Chuping period, he joined Ma Teng and made many military exploits in the war against the Qiang people. Therefore, Ma Teng valued him very much. In the official history, he follows Ma Chao, Ma Teng's son. In the seventh year of Jian'an, Cao Cao wanted to attack Yuan Shang, Yuan Shao and others. Pang De followed Ma Chao, son of Ma Teng, to resist the attack of Yuan Shang's subordinate Guo Yuan and Gao Gan in Pingyang. Pang De acted as a forward and took the initiative to attack Guo Yuan and Gao Gan, winning a great victory. He won and even beheaded Guo Yuan with his own hands. Because of his great achievements this time, Pang De was promoted to Zhonglang General. Later, Zhang Baiqi rebelled in Hongnong, and Pang De followed Ma Teng again on the expedition, quickly defeating the rebel army. Every time he went into battle, Pound was fearless and rushed to the front. His bravery and fearlessness were known to everyone in the military camp. Later, Ma Teng became an official in Beijing, and Pang De stayed under Ma Chao.
Yang Fu, courtesy name Yishan, was born in Jixian County, Tianshui, and was a famous minister during the Three Kingdoms period. He was first appointed to work in Liangzhou and paid homage to the long history of stability. Wei Kang was appointed as the governor and later promoted to a separate officer. He was transferred to the state to join the army. Later, after Chen Long made trouble in Liangzhou, the regime collapsed and he followed Ma Teng. This man has both ability and political integrity, and is upright. Although he lacks military strategy, he is also a leading scholar in Xiliang, a place where martial arts is favored but not literary.
Pang De and Yang Fu, both civil and military, have become the pillars of the Xiliang Army today. Ma Teng organized the three armies, collected grain and grass, and moved the baggage first. Ten days later, more than 30,000 Xiliang cavalrymen poured into the countryside of Chang'an like a torrent.
