Completely different from when they came, the team that went out to dabble in it was unusually quiet now.

Liu Xie and Cao Cao rode in front of them, separated from the other courtiers by some distance.

Everyone wanted to know what they were talking about, but they couldn't get forward.

The final result, of course, was that the plan failed, and it was hinted at by Liu Xie.

Liu Xie didn't tear his face, but just said to the four sages when he came back:

"Elder Xian, I just received a secret report that someone wants to be unfavorable to Elder Xian and Cao Aiqing, and has set up an ambush here. The veteran will investigate thoroughly here, and if there are bad people, he will not tolerate them. ”

This is already a very face-saving face.

The four sages believed that Liu Xie also knew the truth in his heart, and let himself investigate thoroughly was to give himself time to clean up the traces.

Alas!

What else can be said besides promise.

Therefore, the four sages left Yingtuo and the Orion Battalion to remove all the mechanisms, and try to destroy the trenches dug before.

I didn't worry about Liu Guild's question, as long as the trench was irregular, the four sages could reply that the trees were broken in order to search the ground thoroughly.

……

At the front of the line, Liu Xie just smiled at Cao Cao very calmly.

"Why is Your Majesty laughing?" Cao Cao is also laughing, so he has to find a topic to talk about.

"Hehe, I'm just thinking that I can finally return Aiqing's personal affection."

"Your Majesty, this is an outside meeting." When they are alone, he and Liu Xie are more like old friends.

"It's true that I'm out of sight. Now by my side, the only one who can talk about my heart is Aiqing. ”

Although it was a recognition of himself, Cao Cao's smile slowly dispersed.

A generation of emperors, but they said it so bleakly, they really called themselves lonely.

"In the future, the guards of the imperial city will be handed over to Aiqing."

"But once this happens, the virtuous elder will know that His Majesty no longer trusts him."

"At that time, there was Lao Aiqing."

Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie squarely and quipped with a wry smile: "The official of the Han Dynasty is really not easy to do." ”

After saying that, the monarch laughed.

……

Different from the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere in front, the four sages are very depressed here.

"When did you come back?" Although the four sages are smiling, their voices are very stiff.

"Hui Xian, it's only been a few days since I came back." Duan Xuan led the horse to follow the four sages and replied casually.

"As a night striker, you won't see me when you come back, and after you lifted the night attack order, you indulged it again." It sounded ridiculous, but there was a hint of anger in it.

"Xuan'er just went to see Your Majesty first, after all, Yefeng is now Your Majesty's Han Feng Battalion."

That's right, the four sages can't refute it, and it is beyond reproach for Duan Xuan to go to see Liu Xieben first.

It's just that he doesn't have an official position, is the Han Emperor what he says he can see? It must have been Cao Cao's idea.

"The wings are stiff, and the old man can't control it." The strategy of the four virtuous elders was destroyed, and of course there were no good words for Duan Xuan.

Also, how many night fronts are outside now that he can't control, he no longer has the appeal he had before.

"The blade of the long sword has been damaged, and it can still be punished. The reputation of the history is defeated, and the blood is loyal. Duan Xuan suddenly read the poem to himself.

"The blade of the long sword has been damaged, and it can still be punished by the ministers......" The four sages were touched, can he still punish the traitorous ministers for His Majesty with this broken sword? Today's night front is only a few thousand people.

"The reputation of the history is ruined, and the blood is loyal ......" Duan Xuan read the other two sentences again.

"It's rare that after many years, Xuan'er still doesn't forget her original intention." The four sages said with a sigh.

"The rhetoric has not changed, and the original intention is not there. Old man, you have changed. Duan Xuan slowly turned his head and looked squarely at the four sages.

When the four sages looked at Duan Xuan's eyes, he chuckled in his heart - he actually cried!

Duan Xuan tried hard to prevent tears from falling, and a smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth.

"If it weren't for the master back then, Xuan'er would have been left with no bones today. The people are looking for a chivalrous warrior who is not afraid of the powerful like the master at that time. It's a pity that all the Yefeng who only miss the common people are dead, and what is alive now is just minions who are being used to fight for power. ”

The four sages could hear how complicated the feelings in the words were.

Sadness, sadness, loss, resentment, and more, perhaps loneliness.

Duan Xuan didn't say anything more, but he didn't want to follow the four sages anymore.

With a flick of the horse's reins, Duan Xuan slowly caught up with Liu Xie and Cao Cao in front.

This was the first time that the four sages felt that something had disappeared in their hearts, so empty......

————————————————

The same empty people are now in the middle of the dip.

Huan Qi.

Although Hou Cheng didn't restrain her too much, she just didn't want to go out again.

Every day, when there was nothing to do, she just stood quietly in the courtyard and looked at the small piece of heaven above her head.

She tried not to let herself be reminded of the past, but the pain that pierced her chest could not be removed.

As long as you are quiet, your mind is full of the past when you were at the night front; Close your eyes, but only the ruthless person you secretly like will appear.

Thinking of Duan Xuan, Huan Qi couldn't help but cover her chest with her hands, that kind of sadness made it difficult for her to breathe.

She had to crouch on the ground and try to calm herself.

Maybe it was because of the distraction, even if someone suddenly appeared behind her, she didn't know.

"Hey!"

The person who came didn't seem to want to sneak attack, but actually spoke.

"Whoosh!" Huan Qi was startled, and quickly jumped away from the position he had just taken, and at the same time pulled out the dagger from his waist.

It's her!

Qiu Wen, the beloved apprentice of Baili Yan!

How did she find here?!

"Don't be surprised, you should know how powerful the master is." Qiu Wen smiled, seeing Huan Qi's panic.

"What do you mean by coming?" There's no need to ask anything else, now you just need to find out the other party's intentions, as for how to get here...... It's not hard for her at all.

"Hehe, it's refreshing. It's okay to save me the details. It's the master who wants to see you. ”

"Fans?"

"Yes, the master would like to ask you for a favor."

"What to do?"

"Booby trap Zhang Feng!"
