() Ma Yue, who didn't know the reason, continued to move forward. After passing through the atrium, he soon came to Dong Zhuo's own big courtyard in the backyard.And just when he was about to step into the courtyard, a voice came from the side: "Is it Ma Zhongling?"

Ma Yue turned his head to look, and hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "It turns out to be General Niu. Happy New Year."

The one who stopped him was Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo's eldest son-in-law and his confidant general.This person had a good impression of Ma Yue because of his previous performance and the fact that he had praised himself in front of Dong Zhuo.Seeing him appearing in front of the lord's courtyard at this time, he was a little puzzled and said: "You just came back? What, the lord asked you to meet him?"

"Your Majesty did return to Lintao just now. I came here to give orders from the Lord, but it was not the Lord who ordered me to come." Ma Yue heard some meaning from the other party's words, so he did not go in again, but stood still and said: "But something is wrong."

"Why, don't you even know about this? My lord always takes a nap for half an hour after noon every day. This time is when he falls asleep. If anyone dares to disturb him at this time, he will definitely be very angry." Although Niu Fu felt a little strange, out of care, he still pointed out the problem.

As soon as Ma Yue heard it, he knew in his heart that Li Bie was plotting against him.However, he didn't show it, and just saluted Niu Fu solemnly again: "I really want to thank General Niu for reminding me, otherwise I will be blamed by my lord, and I won't know what happened."

"You are new to my lord, and you don't know many things yet, so you should be more cautious in your actions in the future." Niu Fu was also very happy to see this young man so polite, and patted Ma Yue on the shoulder and said: "In the future, there will be more If you don’t understand anything, you can come and ask me, and I will definitely help you.”

"Yes, the more I thank you, General, for your kindness!" Ma Yue thanked with a busy smile, and then Niu Fu also turned to other places.

It wasn't until after the afternoon that Ma Yue was able to meet Dong Zhuo in person. During this meeting, Dong Zhuo really praised him a few times, saying that he is a capable person and that he will definitely use him in the future.Then, he also mentioned that a banquet will be held for Ma Yue to clean up the dust that night to celebrate that the food shortage in Lintao City has finally been resolved.In this regard, Ma Yue naturally declined first, and then readily accepted it.

In the evening, dozens of tables of food and drink were set up in the living room of the Dong family, and all of Dong Zhuo's confidants attended the welcome banquet.This time, Ma Yue didn't have to accompany him in the last seat like the previous few times, but was moved to the middle seat, which made it easier for him to observe the expressions of some people around him.

When Ma Yue's eyes fell on Li Bie's face, this colleague who had just calculated him once did not dare to make too much eye contact with him, and avoided it by toasting the people around him.This reaction fell into Ma Yue's eyes, and he was officially convinced that Li Bie was dealing with him during the day, which made Ma Yue feel a little bit alert.

At this time, Fangzheng who was sitting beside him raised his glass suddenly and said with a smile: "Why does Zhongling look so preoccupied, and you don't see you drinking? You are the guest of honor at the banquet today, how can you be so thoughtful?" .”

Only then did Ma Yue take a sip from his cup, and then said with a smile, "It's just because of the exhaustion all the way, and my mind is not clear yet, brother Li laughed at me."

When the others heard this, they laughed one after another, and some even said jokingly: "It seems that Zhongling is still too young, and you haven't experienced much experience. If you can't stand such a little hard work, what will happen in the future?" Can you share your worries with the lord?"

"The more careful I am to be taught, the better I will be in the future." Ma Yue responded kindly.But judging from everyone's performance, he already found that he was somewhat surrounded by the enemy. Obviously, his outstanding performance had violated the interests of many people, which made them think of suppressing him.

But Ma Yue will not restrain his edge because of this. If he can't even fight against these people, what else can he use to compete with Cao Liu, Sun Yuan and other heroes who can leave a great reputation in history?Therefore, facing their seemingly relationship, which was actually more of a performance of cynicism, Ma Yue just responded with indifference and courtesy.

Sitting high, Dong Zhuo, who was talking to Li Ru and Niu Fu, the most trusted people, didn't realize that the people underneath had started to fight secretly.After discussing some matters with Li Ru, he realized that the purpose of the banquet today was to praise Ma Yue, so he raised the wine glass and said, "Zhongling, you have made great contributions this time. The wine is for you." He raised his head and poured the Grand Duke's wine into his mouth.

Ma Yue, who was talking to Fangzheng and the others, immediately stood up from the seat, held the cup in both hands, and said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation, I feel ashamed!" He also drank the wine in his glass.

"Okay!" Seeing that Ma Yue was so courteous, Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and exclaimed "Hi", and then said with a smile, "If someone like you can assist me, I will be able to do a lot in this Xiliang land in the future. Ladies and gentlemen, you I will have to work harder in the future.”

"I'll do my best to help the lord, and the big thing will happen soon!" Everyone hurriedly responded in unison, which made Dong Zhuo laugh heartily.

At this moment, a young staff member with a bit of arrogance suddenly said: "My lord, now we are about to start a war against the Qiang bandits. I have a new poem, and I want to dedicate it to my lord, so as to strengthen our army." It was a relatively high-ranking staff member under Dong Zhuo's command called Xu Lingzi Yuanjing. In addition to being able to make suggestions, he was also somewhat creative and often wrote some small Ling poems.

"Okay, let's talk about it." Although Dong Zhuo was not very interested in this kind of poetry, but because he was happy today, and it was also a way to boost morale, he agreed.

Immediately, Xu Ling shook his head and recited a little order he had made.Although this poem is only a mediocre poem, it is not bad because it fits the scene, especially when the words Shengjie and other words are mentioned in a few sentences.Dong Zhuo also nodded slightly after hearing this: "Okay, Xu Yuanjing, your poem is well done, and I'll toast you too."

After hearing this, Xu Ling smiled arrogantly, and then took a drink from the wine glass.Then, he didn't sit back, but turned his head to look at Ma Yue: "Zhong Ling, I heard Brother Li say that you wrote a little poem about looking at the snow scene the other day. It's not bad, I wonder if you can compose another song today?"

Hearing this, Ma Yue's heart was moved, he knew that this was another method thought up by his staff who were jealous of him to suppress him.They decided that it was impossible for them to make a decent poem on the spot, so that they could make a fool of themselves.It's a pity that these people didn't expect that Ma Yue came from later generations. Although he didn't have a huge memory bank like the protagonist in some novels, and could memorize many famous and unknown poems, he could still recite Tang poems. A few songs came.

However, it was a little troublesome to find a scene from the library of poems that he didn't have too much, so Ma Yue didn't answer immediately, but just meditated there with a glass of wine.

"Why, Zhong Ling, you can't even compose a poem so impromptu? This really makes me wonder if you wrote the little poem about the snow scene earlier." At this time, Li Bie also started beside him. Literally, with a look of gloating.

And Dong Zhuo finally felt the secret struggle of the people below, but he didn't mean to help Ma Yue.He has always thought it a good thing to compete with the people below, so that these people can do things for themselves wholeheartedly and dare not hide their personal interests.Even if Ma Yue was someone he valued, he would not show any favoritism. If Ma Yue couldn't handle even this small embarrassment, he would not reuse this person again.

When Ma Yue heard the provocative words, he was no longer silent, but said in disdain: "Poetry is nothing more than a small way. It can neither enrich the country nor strengthen the army, nor can it help the lord to wipe out the Qiang chaos. We are under the lord's command." , what should be done is those practical things, instead of putting your mind on such meaningless things. So, I can't agree with Brother Xu's words."

"You..." Xu Ling didn't expect Ma Yue to fight back like this, he didn't save himself any face at all, and felt very angry.At this time, he didn't care about his face anymore, and said with a blushing face: "Although the way of poetry can't help the master to be fair and chaotic, it is also a way of self-cultivation and self-cultivation. You don't pay attention to it so much, but because you don't know how to What? And you don’t know how to write poems at all, but you plagiarized other people’s poems before, this is the real ulterior motive!"

Ma Yue just smiled when he heard this, without arguing, he immediately read out a poem: "Moon black geese fly high, Shan Yu night flees. Yu drives Qingqi away, heavy snow covers bow and knives." But taking advantage of just now The time he spoke already reminded him of a famous frontier poem from the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as this poem came out, everyone in the hall was stunned. Everyone looked at Ma Yue in surprise. They really didn't expect such a poem to come from such a young man.This poem that can be passed down through the ages has its own charm. Even a person like Dong Zhuo who is proficient in writing and ink can appreciate the heroic emotion in the poem.

"Brother Xu, do you think how well I did this little poem, does it still catch your eye?" Ma Yue then glanced at Xu Ling again and asked.

"It's really a good poem! With just a few crosses, we have written the victories of our army!" Li Ru was the first to praise.Afterwards, the others also had to nod their heads and said that the poem was excellent, they couldn't open their eyes and tell nonsense, saying that this famous poem through the ages is not as good as the kind of work that makes up the numbers.

At this time, other people no longer dared to underestimate Ma Yue, a young man. This man is really a man with both civil and military skills.

And Dong Zhuo also stroked his beard happily: "Zhongling is really talented. Since you have written such a good poem to strengthen my prestige, then I will reward you as well." He untied a piece of green from his waist Yudi's jade ornament came, and asked the servants around him to give it to Ma Yue: "I took this jade from the Qiang people back then, and I will give it to you today. I hope you can wear this jade in the future, and then I can take it for you again." Greater good to come."

"Thank you, my lord, for your gift!" Ma Yue took the jade, hurriedly got up and thanked him, but made Xu Ling and the others angry. He didn't expect that he wanted to suppress him, but let this young man give a big limelight.
