In the front hall, Xiao Wen was sitting in front of a table full of food. He was not in a hurry to move his chopsticks and waited quietly.
While he was waiting, he heard the sound of soft footsteps coming from outside the hall.
Looking around, I saw a pair of eyes looking in at the window next to me.
When Xiao Wen looked over, their eyes met.
The eyes outside the window were frightened and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, Xiao Wen couldn't help but chuckle.
If I saw it correctly just now, it seems to be a girl, right?
Ma Teng was thoughtful and specially arranged for a girl to monitor me in the dark.
It's just that the surveillance ability was not good enough, and it was already discovered before it even started.
Xiao Wen muttered and thought silently in his heart.
A few minutes later, Ma Teng, who had left, returned with a smile on his face. He looked at Xiao Wen, cupped his hands and said, "I've kept you waiting for a long time, general."
"It's okay. Your Excellency is busy with official duties. I'm just waiting for a moment. It won't be a problem." Xiao Wen responded, his calm eyes fell on Ma Teng and he spoke softly.
"General, please have a meal. There are only you and me here, so there is no need to be polite." Ma Teng said with a smile, but his eyes fell on Xiao Wen motionlessly.
Xiao Wen didn't move his chopsticks, but looked at Ma Teng and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Your Excellency has traveled hundreds of miles, and you asked me to come here not just for this meal, right?"
"From the moment I entered Longxi, I could tell that there were many spies hidden along the way. Some of these spies were arranged by the adults, and some were not arranged by the adults."
"I have a rough idea of what your lord has in mind. However, I don't care how you arrange it or how you spread the news. I came here just to take General Ma Chao away."
"If the adults agree with this, we can continue the conversation. Otherwise, there is no need for us to continue the conversation. What do you think, the adults?"
When it came to this, Xiao Wen did not hide it and spoke straight to the point.
Want to continue chatting?
Can!
However, you must first ensure that I can take Ma Chao away, otherwise, no matter how much we talk, it will be in vain!
Of course, the purpose of doing this is not only to be the first to express the tone of one's thoughts, but also to seize the initiative and gain control of the negotiation.
Ma Teng did not speak, but looked at Xiao Wen, his eyes slightly narrowed, the light flashing in his eyes, thoughtfully.
Others don't know Xiao Wen's inner plan, but he understands it in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded.
Take control of negotiations?
It doesn't hurt to leave it to Xiao Wen.
Anyway...
He can also extract profits from other places.
As long as benefits can be obtained, it doesn't matter who controls the pace of negotiations.
"Since your Excellency has agreed, we can continue this negotiation. Tell us about your conditions. When will your Excellency release General Ma?" Xiao Wen looked at Ma Teng and asked.
"What does the general mean by this? Chao'er is my child and the eldest brother among many children. I will not confine my own son to anyone I imprison!"
"It's just that sometimes the child takes the wrong path. As a father, it is the obligation to help him correct it and let him know which path is the right one. The general is kind, and he shouldn't be willing to see the father and son fighting each other, right?
"
Ma Teng picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. His tone was gentle and his voice was calm, neither happy nor sad.
Xiao Wen raised his head, his eyes fell on Ma Teng, he was silent for a moment, and then he spoke out: "If possible, I would not want to see such a situation. However, if such a situation is really unavoidable, even if the relationship is righteous, I will do it myself.
Nothing is impossible.”
"Since ancient times, in history, there have been many people who killed their relatives for righteousness, and there have also been many people whose names will be remembered throughout the ages!"
"My lord, do you think Meng Qi will one day be remembered in history?" Xiao Wen chuckled, and Ma Teng went head-to-head, but neither of them was afraid of the other.
"General, are you determined to go against me?" Ma Teng narrowed his eyes, and the aura all over his body suddenly burst out, and the aura from all over his body exploded, pressing towards Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen's face was solemn, his expression was calm, and there was a faint glimmer of light in his eyes.
Facing this violent aura, the whole person was dwarfed.
The aura all over his body suddenly surged out, and there was even a faint shadow of a golden dragon forming behind him.
This is……
Emperor's destiny!
The golden dragon lingers, and the imperial luck is filled, pouring into the sky to compete with Ma Teng.
Although there is a gap in realm, when Xiao Wen explodes with all his strength, he can barely block the momentum released by Ma Teng.
Standing upright, Xiao Wen stamped his foot on the ground, and the breath from his whole body poured out, colliding with Ma Teng.
"Your Majesty is wrong. Since I chose to go to the appointment alone, it is enough to show my sincerity. Now, Your Majesty, the mountain has collapsed and I am in danger of death at any time."
"And this general is the only one who can save you and the people of Longxi! The general knows this better than I do!"
"Rebellion against the imperial court. Although I don't know why your lord would do this, I have to say that this mistake of your lord is the worst!"
"Since you are wrong, you should correct it and put things right out of chaos! And I am the one who can help you put things right out of chaos!"
Xiao Wen stood upright, his eyes fell on Ma Teng, his eyes flickered, as if he had figured out something at that moment.
When these words came out of his mouth and fell into Ma Teng's ears, Ma Teng raised his eyebrows slightly, a trace of surprise flashed deep in his eyes, but then he returned to calm, maintaining a state of neither joy nor sadness, and remained calm.
Gazing at Xiao Wen quietly,
"There is no turning back when you shoot! Even if I don't say it, the general knows the current situation. In this battle, Xiliang is weak, and many people are not optimistic about Xiliang. But I feel that we still have a chance.
Vitality, a glimmer of chance of winning!"
"As long as... General you are willing to help me! We can eat the main force of Huangfu Song's army! As long as we eat these people, even if Dong Zhuo comes back with the main force of Xiliang, I am confident that we can reject them
Outside Xiliang."
"At that time, I will become the king of Xiliang, and the general will be able to rule a country. Why not? Why do I have to be the lackey of that foolish king?"
Tsk!
I'm here to fool you...to persuade you to surrender.
As a result, before I could finish these two or three sentences, I heard that you guy started to deceive me in turn.
You really don’t take this general seriously!
However, if I can be fooled by a guy like you, I don't deserve to hang out in this place.
"So... Your Excellency, you want me to join your team?"
After Xiao Wen pondered for a moment, he asked seriously.
"The emperor is fatuous, the eunuchs are disorderly in government, relatives are monopolizing power, and the nobles are amassing wealth. Only the common people are the most miserable. They work hard without getting anything, they don't have enough to eat, and tens of thousands of them die of hunger."
"What's the future for such a world? Why not do the opposite and reset the rules!"
