The four corners of the county mansion are built with high platforms on the dock wall.There is one every twenty steps, watching and looking after each other, which can be used as a barrier to stick to when it is necessary. The high wall is solemn and condescending, and it is clear at a glance to set up guards and posts.

Behind the screen wall, layers of armored soldiers hold sharp weapons and line up to guard.

However, on the side near the high wall in the front hall, there are old trees evergreen, so thick that four or five adults can't hug them.A cluster of tree crowns, like a huge hat crown, with dense branches and leaves growing in all directions, just completely covers the high platform and bucket arch at the southwest corner facing the inner window of the hall.

Zhao Yun led Wang Wu to the high platform silently, and then led her to climb up the branches.Wang Wu picked up the corner of the cloak with one hand, so as not to be blown up by the wind, entangle the branches, or attract attention.The other hand encircled Zhao Yun's neck and shoulders, and leaned on his back with his chest pressed against his back.

The ground under her feet was gradually covered by tree shadows, and Wang Wu lowered her head to Zhao Yun's shoulders to avoid being scratched by the leaves and branches that came close to her eyes from time to time.

Zhao Yun spotted the place and motioned for Wang Wu to slowly step on the huge horizontal pillar under the bucket arch, half leaning on a thick branch to maintain balance.

The rustling of the leaves in the autumn wind muffled the slightest sound they made.Even if the guards on the high platform look down at this angle, they can only see a group of green waves swaying in the wind. Unless they lean out from the high platform and look down against the high wall, they can see the relationship between the wall and the bucket arch. Where they met, I saw a corner of their clothes.

As long as Wang Wu stretched out her hand to push the leaves in front of her a little, she would be able to see the situation in the hall through the half-opened side window.

Moreover, in this position, as long as the voice of the conversation inside is not deliberately suppressed, even if you can't hear every word clearly, you can still vaguely hear it.

Wang Wu was extremely satisfied with this excellent eavesdropping position.There was not enough room to stand on the cross post, she and Zhao Yun were close together, while Zhao Yun supported the bracket with one hand and wrapped his hands around her waist to prevent her from losing her footing.

Just as she was about to turn her head to look through the side window, a clump of leaves very close to her on the left suddenly moved.Wang Wu was taken aback, and stepped back hastily.Fortunately, Zhao Yun was standing behind her, and one of her backward feet stepped on Zhao Yun's foot, her body swayed, and was blocked by Zhao Yun, so she didn't fall directly.

Suddenly, behind the clump of leaves, there was a pretty face as bright as the morning glow.

The bridge of the nose was straight, the eyes were deep-set, and the vigilance and defense in the pair of dark brown eyes turned into astonishment the moment they saw them.

Why is Ma Rao here?

Wang Wu's expression also appeared dull for a moment.

Zhao Yun's face darkened slightly, and a stern look faintly flashed in his eyes.Ma Rao's status is special, and obviously she didn't appear here "inadvertently" for fun.

Feeling the sudden alertness on Zhao Yun's body, Wang Wu quickly recovered and thought of this.She stared at Ma Rao, then turned her head to look at the side window not far away, where Gongsun Xu and Chen Kuang were kneeling on their knees, and who had been moved to the soft couch at some point. Gongsun Zan closed his eyes and meditated, hesitant.

It's not difficult to drive Ma Rao away, but they will definitely not hear anything...

Ma Rao's position is almost shoulder-to-shoulder with her, but a large clump of lush leaves blocks between the two of them, blocking Wang Wu's figure and her line of sight at the same time, so the person is right next to her. On the other side, she didn't notice it at all.

After all, Ma Rao is not as familiar with this place as Zhao Yun. She didn't step on the horizontal pillar, but climbed on the branch, leaning forward, relying on the strength of both hands, to support the horizontal frame of the bucket arch.The whole person is almost stretched into a horizontal line, like a push-up half done, and someone has pressed the freeze button.

After Wang Wu discovered Ma Rao's posture, no matter how much she didn't like this woman, she couldn't help but secretly admire her.A woman who can stand up to eavesdropping in this position, and can still use one hand to push aside the leaves to look at her, with this physical fitness...In the previous life, she must have been a top athlete in the world.

"Father! Although Chang'an is the land of the Son of Heaven, after Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's rebellion, there are not many available soldiers. This time Cao Cao led the army to invade Chang'an. If Ma Teng can't resist, the entire Sili will become Cao Cao's pocket It's too late! Father, please make a quick decision!"

Gongsun Xu's voice floated indistinctly, interrupting Wang Wu's hesitation.When Ma Rao heard Ma Teng's name, she turned her eyes and immediately listened attentively, but she didn't care about Wang Wu at all.I don't know whether she is sure that Wang Wu alarmed the guards because of her, or she is so favored by Ma Teng. I don't know if it is a terrible thing to eavesdrop on others to study business and military reports on the territory of other forces, ignorant and fearless.

There was silence in the window for a while, and then Gongsun Zan asked, "What do you think of Zixing?"

Gongsun Zan's voice was weak, and he was still short of energy. Among the five words, Wang Wu could only vaguely hear the word "Zixing".She pondered for a while, then glanced at Ma Rao again, and decided to eavesdrop first.

"Kuang doesn't think so."

Looking from Wang Wu's direction, they couldn't see the expressions on their faces clearly, but listening to Chen Kuang's words, one could guess that the scribe in the blue shirt and wide sleeves spoke in a slow manner.

"If my lord and Cao Cao are fighting in Chang'an, when the battle is urgent, dare to ask my lord, where should I ask for help?"

Without waiting for the people in the window to react, Wang Wu felt Zhao Yunquan's hand move around her waist.

"Qingzhou is too far away from Sili. There is Jizhou to the north and Gunzhou to the west. If Ma Teng is really in danger and asks for help, why not borrow troops from Zhanglu, the nearest Hanzhong, and go as far as Qingzhou? Zhao Yun heard what Chen Kuang meant, and whispered in her ear to explain.

The two of them were already very close to each other, Zhao Yun lowered his head slightly, and his lips moved to the edge of Wang Wu's ear, and when he spoke, he opened and closed gently, brushing past her ears as if nothing.

The temperature of the human body's lips is slightly higher than that of the auricles. Coupled with the hot air when speaking, Wang Wu's auricles suddenly became hot.

Seeing that the small and fair ears in front of him were suddenly dyed a layer of light pink in the blink of an eye, Zhao Yun was taken aback, and the half sentence that he was going to continue to say suddenly stuck in his throat.

It seemed that only the sound of his own heartbeat was left in his ears.

"You mean, all the edicts of the emperor are bullshit. Ma Teng just wants me to send troops from Cao Cao's back so that he can't look after each other? The defeated general of Liangzhou who can't even win Li Jue and Guo Si, what should I do? Listen to him!" I don't know if it was Ma Teng who came here to speak in a bad tone just now, or Gongsun Zan was extremely angry at Ma Teng's insincere alliance, his voice suddenly rose, and suddenly came out of the side window. come out.

Finally, there were other voices interrupting his ears, Zhao Yun turned his head very slowly and carefully, and breathed out.Don't dare to look at Wang Wu's ear tips like white jade and Mengxia.

Hearing Zhao Yun's breathing, Wang Wu also heaved a sigh of relief.She was almost sticking to Zhao Yun, and of course she knew why the muscles on his body tensed up all of a sudden.The heartbeat in his chest beside her ears was like thunder and drums, but her breathing was tightly controlled. It happened for a moment, but she didn't dare to move, lest...

Ma Rao is still there!

In this daze, Chen Kuang and Gongsun Zan missed the next few words, only to hear Gongsun Xu suddenly say: "Father! My son can marry Ma's daughter!"

As soon as this remark came out, both Wang Wu and Zhao Yun couldn't help being taken aback, and they didn't bother to worry about the extremely subtle atmosphere just now.

Wang Wu originally wanted to check whether Ma Rao had noticed their little action just now, when she turned her head, she saw that Ma Rao's hand supporting the bracket seemed to tremble, and she almost fell towards Wang Wu.

Zhao Yun just put an arm horizontally to block Wang Wu's body. If Ma Rao fell over, he could immediately protect Wang Wu from being knocked down by her.

Ma Rao didn't notice his intention at all, she still stared at her almond eyes, looked towards the side window in disbelief, then looked at Wang Wu, as if to make sure that she had heard correctly.

However, what Gongsun Xu said next quickly wiped away her doubts about her hearing ability.

"Father, although Cao Cao and Ma Teng's victory or defeat is uncertain, since Ma Teng wants us to send troops to attack Cao Cao's rear, it is obviously not sure that we will win. And A Wu once made a marriage agreement with Cao Cao's eldest son Ang. If Ma Teng Invincible, this is the best move to unite Cao. And if Ma Teng wins, his son will marry Ma's daughter, and he can also form an alliance between the two families. What's more, Liangzhou Qiang soldiers are known for their bravery. They are strong and strong, and they will definitely help their father to fight for the world. !"

"Huh?" Don't talk about Ma Rao this time, even Wang Wu laughed angrily at his "powerful" rhetoric.This abacus is really good!The two brothers and sisters are married one by one, and the intention of stepping on two boats is so shallow that it has no technical content. Can he be a fool if he is Ma Teng and Cao Cao?

If Gongsun Zan's youngest son hadn't died young, according to his logic, shouldn't he marry a sister of the Han Emperor's clan?

When all the forces north of the Yangtze River have become relatives in Gongsun's family, why worry about the world being uncertain?

What on earth was Gongsun Xu thinking to come up with such an idea!What made Wang Wu even more uneasy was that after hearing his son's proposal, Gongsun Zan didn't refute even a word, and remained silent, actually thinking about its feasibility!

"But the battle between Ma Teng and Cao Cao is in full swing. If news of the Major General's marriage to Ma's daughter reaches Cao Ying, the daughter's marriage contract will be forfeited. If Cao Jun wins later, wouldn't it be..."

Chen Kuang, who didn't want to say too much, couldn't listen any more, but before he finished his dissuading words, Gongsun Xu stood up with a flick of his sleeves, and hurriedly interjected: "Father! I know that Cao Cao is insidious and repeated. He is often a villain. It is not enough to believe in breaking the alliance and abandoning the covenant. However, according to the words and deeds of the envoy from Liangzhou just now, there is no mention of the Ma's daughter at all. Most likely, the Ma's daughter betrayed her father and brother and fled to Qingzhou privately. Even if this is the case, why don't we not know? When our son marries her, if Ma Teng wins, we will send their father and daughter to reunite. If Ma Teng wins, we don't tell, who can know what happened in the son's room? Wife, is that Ma's daughter?"

When Wang Wu knew that Gongsun Xu had helped her smooth out her marriage to Liaodong that day only for a price, she had already known that her elder brother was full of such low-level schemes.Afterwards, seeing that Cao Cao was asking for marriage, and the tiger and leopard camp was very powerful, he hastily suggested that Gongsun Zan marry Wang Wu into Cao Ying, but this time his constant talk of marrying Ma Rao had a greater impact on Wang Wu.

How thick-skinned it is to be able to talk about this kind of calculation so straightforwardly, as if it is some kind of magic trick, and still be complacent!

Feeling Ma Rao's gaze beside her, Wang Wu couldn't help but support her forehead.

She really doesn't know him well!

And at the next moment, Wang Wu only felt the shadow of the tree glimpsed out of the corner of his eyes shake violently, and the extremely violent rustling of leaves and Ma Rao's angry voice sounded together: "Who wants to marry you?"

The first word "who" was still in her ears, and a swift figure had already rushed out from her side.

Wang Wu's heart trembled, and she didn't even have time to yell "No", she subconsciously stretched out her hand and fished it out.The strong wind brought by Ma Rao flying out caused the hem of her skirt to roll up, and brushed against Wang Wu's outstretched fingers, so fast that she couldn't grasp them at all.

And Zhao Yun was also shocked by what Gongsun Xu said. He put his arm around Wang Wu, but at the same time it was Wang Wu standing between him and Ma Rao. Pass Wang Wu between the narrow horizontal columns and brackets to catch Ma Rao.

"Who is it!" The three people in the side window were startled by the figure that suddenly fell from the sky, shouted loudly, and drew their swords, which caused a commotion among the guards who were originally scattered around, and they all ran towards them , surrounded Ma Rao.

But Gongsun Xufang saw Ma Rao's face flushed red with anger, and after a moment of surprise, he immediately waved his hand to signal the guards to put down their weapons, and he raised his hand as a salute, and was about to speak.

But he didn't know that before he finished giving the salute, Ma Rao's feet fell to the ground, and she didn't even look at the guards surrounding her with swords. Through the side window, she yelled: "Whether it's Qiang soldiers or Hu people, I'm here!" The men in Liangzhou, with great achievements and fame, led the army, which one did not come from fighting on the battlefield with their own blood and sweat? All of them are hard-working, indomitable good men! How can you be like you, born in a wealthy family, and have parents to protect you , There are officers and soldiers who use their lives, but they neither win the victory and show their prestige on the battlefield, nor pay attention to the affairs of the common people, but only think about how to profit from women all day long. How can a majestic man be so shameless!"

In her rage, her voice was a little hoarse, she cursed and spoke extremely fast, and did not give Gongsun Xu a chance to interject.Every word and every word was heard clearly by the guards who surrounded him.

Everyone stared at each other, and everyone's ears were like thunder, buzzing.

Gongsun Xu's face turned blue and white after being scolded by her, and the unbelievable expressions on the faces of those guards made him extremely annoyed, and he was about to explode.Gongsun Zan, who had been half leaning on the wooden table and lying on the soft couch, slapped the wooden table fiercely, and there was a cold and cold look in his long and narrow eyes: "Okay! Ma Teng is arrogant and domineering. He really is one of the teachers." Good daughter!"

Ma Rao has a pampered personality, and usually acts coquettishly and shamelessly towards his father Ma Teng, but in his heart he respects and admires his father no less than anyone else.

Hearing that Gongsun Zan insulted his father in his words, how could he care about the fierce look in his eyes, and he let out a cold "hum", and said harshly: "My father is very skilled in martial arts, and he leads many victories. I am a teacher by example. Biography. And I have always heard about the reason why General Baima's wife Mong Zun in the early years, just won the favor of my uncle, and she was appointed as an official from school and promoted Xiaolian. I originally asked where Gongsun Xu learned such despicable methods. It’s teaching by example and teaching by family!”

Uncle is the father-in-law.

Although Gongsun Zan was originally from a high birth, he could only be a minor official in the county due to the influence of his mother's status. Fortunately, Liu Taishou of Liaoxi appreciated him and promised him his own daughter. He pretended to change his appearance and served with him. He didn't return together until Liu Taishou was pardoned.After this move, he was promoted as Xiaolian, and he has been on the rise since then.

This was originally an act of loyalty and filial piety in Gongsun Zan's youth, and he has always been very proud of it throughout the years.But now in Ma Rao's mouth, she has become the daughter of the prefect who he clings to in order to seek a way out!

At first glance, it is indeed somewhat similar to what Gongsun Xu said just now.It is said that it is taught by example and family, but every word is justified.

"You! You...Zhuzi!" Gongsun Zan was so angry that his face was livid, he took advantage of the wooden table and raised his body abruptly, pointing at Ma Rao's trembling hand.

And at the next moment, the blood that was driven faster and faster by the rage seemed to rush to the top of his head all at once, choked in his throat, and stuck in his chest, making Gongsun Zan almost feel like he couldn't breathe in one breath.Immediately afterwards, some liquid spurted out from the throat.

Very fishy and salty, like rust.And the strength of his whole body seemed to leave his body along with the gushing red liquid, and the consciousness in his brain disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The author has something to say: dog blood is——Brother scum wants to eat hard, but in the end...

Girls from the Ma family have always been tough!

Well, in fact, the women written by the author are, to some extent, tough!ahahaha~~
