In the woods, tranquility has returned once again.

Zhang Feng retracted his defense in the moment before he was hit, and he didn't fall too badly. On the contrary, it was Ling Yuan, who hit people, and at this time there were several wear and tear on his body, and some of the wounds were dripping with blood.

Xi Yan grabbed Guo Lan blankly and looked at the two, not knowing what was going on.

Duan Xuan and Li Dao were still facing each other, but their attention was also attracted.

"Little Mandarin Duck?" Zhang Feng slowly turned around and aimed the chain blade at Ling Yuan, "Are you going to be on their side?" ”

"I ......" Ling Yuan lowered his head, his ten fingers clasped together, and he didn't dare to look at Zhang Feng's face.

She just instinctively came over to stop her, and didn't think much of it.

Even if he knew what Xi Yan had done, he could see himself, and when he saw that familiar face, Ling Yuan still couldn't control it.

After all, that person is the master who has loved him for many years, and he is his biological mother.

Duan Xuan clenched his fists, a little annoyed, but helpless.

"Li Dao, we might as well take a step back. You let Lan'er go, and the little mandarin duck went to talk to Yan Shuai. ”

The sneak attack failed, and if he wanted to use force, Duan Xuan was not sure that he could defeat Li Dao.

Li Wei naturally knew Duan Xuan's thoughts, and couldn't help but look at him with a hint of contempt and asked, "What's the matter?" If the sneak attack fails, you want to talk about the conditions? ”

"Hehe, it's good if you can get it, but if you can't get it, you naturally have to think of other methods. However, General Lee also had to make a decision earlier. If you know our whereabouts, you should also know that we are not just three people. ”

Li Dao was shocked, but he still forced his composure, "Duan Yishi is saying?" ”

"I have ordered my disciple to go and report to Lu Bu, and it will not be long before he will lead his army to the scene. I believe that General Li has a relationship with him, so I don't need to say more. ”

Li Wei scolded in his heart, but he had to admit that now he could only agree to Duan Xuan's conditions. He just wanted to act secretly on this trip, if his whereabouts were exposed, it would be difficult to get out of Lu Bu's territory.

It's just that what he won't know is that there is someone who scolds him worse than him in his heart.

That's Zhang Feng.

The three of them escaped by chance, and then hid in the woods, hiding from Lu Bu's cavalry. Wu Zheng should have returned to the deserted village where they had been hiding, and had not joined them.

But Duan Xuan's face did not change.

What's even more sad is that Li Dao only focused on finding Ling Yuan, and didn't probe too much about other things. Otherwise, he could completely surmise that Duan Xuan, who had just assassinated Lu Bu, would never dare to report to him, which would be tantamount to asking for his own death.

"Okay, according to your words." Li Wei replied after thinking about it.

He walked up to Xi Yan and gently stroked her face, "Yan'er, this is not our style, our style has already gone home." Look at that girl, do you remember, it was a mandarin duck. ”

Saying this to divert Xi Yan's attention, Li Wei slowly pushed Guo Lan away from her and returned it to Duan Xuan.

"Mandarin ...... Child? Xi Yan was a little confused, as if she didn't remember.

"Mother." This should be the first time Ling Yuan has called Xi Yan his mother in person.

As if she had been hit by something, Xi Yan suddenly felt very tight in her chest. She began to gasp for air, and eventually, passed out.

"Mother!" Ling Yuan rushed forward desperately, but was stopped by Li Dao with the sword in his hand.

“…… Father. "Although the person in front of him is extremely vicious, the blood relationship has never been able to get rid of it.

"It seems that you can't cure her either, it's my mistake in thinking," Li Wei picked up Xi Yan and turned his back to Ling Yuan, "Live well." ”

"I'm ......" Ling Yuan took another step forward, wanting to get closer.

"Don't follow us. There is no turning back from the road that Dad walked......" After speaking, Li Wei completely ignored Duan Xuan and Zhang Feng, who were looking at each other angrily, and walked towards the depths of the forest.

A generation of heroes, the back is so desolate.

Ling Yuan didn't notice that his tears had already spilled like broken beads......

——————————————

Yanzhou, Shanyang County, Changyi.

Now sitting in Yanzhou is Xiahou Yuan.

Unlike his grumpy brother Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan is more cautious and calm.

Yanzhou is the foundation of Cao Cao, and Xiahou Yuan feels a great responsibility. But fortunately, after Cao Cao left, all parties were quite peaceful.

On the Hebei side, Xiahoudun reported that Yuan Shao's main force of soldiers and horses went north and clashed with Gongsun Zan again; The direction of Yuzhou in the south also sent back good news, and Nie Hong and others made several contacts with Yuan Shujun, all of which were victorious; Even Xuzhou in the east, which worried Xiahou Yuan the most, did not move, Cao Ren's handwriting said that the scouts sent to Xuzhou reported that Xuzhou seemed to be in internal chaos, and if the lord could return as soon as possible, he might be able to take the opportunity to fight.

For Xiahou Yuan, there should be no more leisurely time than this time.

However, leisure can only be done today.

Because the convoy carrying the baggage from Hanoi arrived.

Sima Yi, the second son of the Sima family, Xiahou Yuan probably knew his relationship with Ye Feng, not to mention that now he was accompanied by a night handsome Liang Qi.

……

He arrived at dusk.

Xiahou Yuan understood that after all, he was everyone's son, and he was somewhat squeamish. It's hot at noon, so I guess I'm rushing to get cool in the morning and evening.

The first meeting was nothing more than a routine polite greeting, but Xiahou Yuan was very surprised by the young man's conversation.

This boy has a calmness and sophistication that does not belong to his age.

……

After the dinner, Xiahou Yuan arranged for Sima Yi and his party to stay.

However, Sima Yi did not go directly to the post house, but accompanied by Liang Qi and Jia Kui, he came to a quiet courtyard in Changyi City.

Because he knows that there are some people who must be seen.

The four sages of the Yefeng Northern Headquarters, as the core figures of the entire main hall, took care of them when they lived there.

What's more, Liang Yi returned with him, how could he not go to say hello.

The four sages are now idle, and there is nothing else to do except for some night forwards accompanying them and occasionally conveying some orders to their subordinates.

When Sima Yi and his entourage arrived, the four sages did not go to bed, after all, the routine of many years could not be changed in a short period of time.

When people meet each other, even if their hearts have changed hands, their feelings are still there.

Liang couldn't help but have red eyes and knelt on one knee.

At this time, the four sages were a little older than in the main hall.

Caught up with the turbulent times, and experienced so many tribulations and changes, this old man gradually couldn't support it.

"Hehe, it's the second son. Suezhao is back, too, okay, good. ”

Sima Yi couldn't help but sigh that today's four sages and elders have completely lost their original edge. Seeing everyone, it is like an ordinary family of elders who see the younger generations coming to reunite during the New Year's holidays, and their faces are full of kindness and joy.

"I've seen the virtuous elder." Sima Yi finally saluted the four sages in accordance with the rules of the main hall.

"Virtuous elder, the second son and the master rushed back day and night, and they were already tired. I originally wanted to bring them to see you tomorrow, but the second son insisted on coming over today. Jia Kui explained.

"The second son has a heart."

Sixian Lao did not go to the dinner, firstly, he was not a Yanzhou official, and secondly, he had lived in seclusion for many years, which made him very disgusted with these.

In fact, when Chong Sima Yi and his entourage entered Changyi City, the four sages received the news. It's just that for various reasons, he didn't show up at that time.

It's a rare thing that this child still thinks about the past and knows to come and see himself.

"Suezhao, are you healed?" The four sages have always cared for their subordinates.

"Thanksgiving to the old man, it's no longer a problem. In the future, I will be able to serve the virtuous old man and the night front again. By the way, where are the other two virtuous elders now? ”

Hearing this, the expression of the four sages darkened.

"Alas...... On that day, the main hall was attacked, and we were evacuated separately. Lao Jiu and Lao 11 went to Jingzhou in the south, but now there is no news, as for Lao Wu, ......"

There are some words that don't need to be said, Liang Yi naturally knew the second half of the sentence, so he hurriedly relieved: "Life and death are fate, and the virtuous don't have to be sentimental." The five sages have been a great man and a common man all their lives, and they will go down in history. ”

However, Sima Yi felt that continuing to talk about it would only bring back a sad past, so he changed the topic.

"Elder Xian, I don't know how many people are still in the Northern Hall now?"

As soon as the words came out, Liang Qi couldn't help but admire. By asking this question, you can gauge whether there is any hidden meaning.

"When the attack was carried out that day, about 6,000 people escaped from the main hall...... Now there are about 30,000 night fronts scattered all over the place. The four sages restrained their emotions and said to Sima Yi.

Well? Jia Kui couldn't help but be surprised, why didn't the four sages tell the truth? But after thinking about it, he understood.

Ye Feng is not a kind of containment for the Sima family, if they feel that Ye Feng has fallen into decay and does not pose a threat to it, with Cao Cao's power alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get the support of the Sima family again.

You must know that the princes in the world who are stronger than Cao Cao are not alone.

"Oh," Sima Yi made a relieved expression, "I heard that the main hall was in trouble, and the students had trouble sleeping and eating all day long, but fortunately they were blessed by the heavens and were loyal and good." The students are relieved. The virtuous old man works hard during the day, and the students don't bother much. ”

"Thank you for your concern. In this case, the son should rest earlier, and the old man will talk to the son in detail tomorrow. ”

……

hurriedly came to visit, but only said a few words and left, Liang Qi was a little puzzled.

"What? What is Liang Shuai's confusion? "Sima Yi has an extraordinary talent for observing words and feelings.

"Childe, why did you quit suddenly?"

"Oh, it's no good to stay any longer. If he would not tell me the truth, why should he be left in such a vacant place? Besides, there are some things that should be more credible for your apprentice to tell him. ”

"Childe mean?"

"Your disciple has doubted your faithfulness. You're a master, you won't be unaware, will you? ”

"Liang Dao has always been a child that I can't see clearly, and unlike Qiao Hu, his heart is too hidden."

"Let him remind the old man, the shadow of Yefeng can no longer envelop the Sima family."
