Rushed overnight, and there was no more turmoil. It's just that it's too tiring to keep walking.

However, at noon on the second day, the three of them still arrived at Chenliu smoothly. After bribing the city gate pawns, Ma Chao successfully infiltrated the city where Cao Cao raised his troops.

As soon as they entered Chenliu, the three of them immediately felt the oncoming prosperous atmosphere, and they were all businessmen from the south to the north. Even though the war was raging and there were still traces of beacon fire invasion in the city, Chen Liucheng did not seem to have been affected much. If it weren't for the bleak autumn breeze, it would inevitably make people suspect that they had arrived in the southern part of the Yangtze River. This is very different from the starvation outside the city just a few miles away from Chen Liu, and Ma Chao can't help but feel the evasion and blindness of human nature.

Soon after the two families formed an alliance, Ma Chao tore up the alliance between the two families with his own hands after Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou. Therefore, the two families did not communicate with each other at all, let alone establish a pavilion with each other. However, Ma Chao did not come this time to settle in the post house: Ma Chao was conceited, and he could settle in the most prestigious Longmen Inn in Dahan at will.

Nowadays, the Han Dynasty is in the world, and the Longmen Inn has almost all over the world. And all chain inns have only one owner: Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi.

Three years ago, the first Longmen Inn opened in Chang'an Jianye, although some changes occurred during the period, but the Longmen Inn was different from the service of the Han Dynasty, and soon became famous in the late Han Dynasty. After that, it quickly opened branches in major capitals around the world.

The layout of the Longmen Inn is known for its simplicity and elegance, although the service in the inn is considerate, but there is nothing very special, although it can make the famous dishes of the world's major cuisines and the stir-fried dishes that are hard to find, but this is only one of the reasons why the Longmen Inn quickly spread throughout the 14 states of Dahan.

An important reason for its popularity is that after the Longmen Inn opened a number of branches, the merchants who often traveled all over the world were surprised to find that the Longmen Inn everywhere was actually very similar, and the way the inn operated, the layout of the room, and the taste of food and drink were almost the same as coming out of a mold. For these perennial travelers, the Dragon Gate Inn has become their home, and they always get a sense of familiarity here. And the Dragon Gate Inn also has the same benefit, once you live in a certain inn, within a few months, all the Dragon Gate Inns in the world will be familiar with your favorite room, favorite food, etc., so that you feel at home everywhere.

Of course, some people are worried that there will be problems with the Dragon Gate Inn, but at most one or two stewards of the Dragon Gate Inn everywhere really belong to the Dragon Gate Inn, and the other servants are all hired from the local area, but after training, these servants all act according to the pamphlets full of rules brought by the stewards, and if they violate them, they will be dismissed. That's why the Dragon Gate Inns in various places are basically similar, but also have some different characteristics in the details. This method of operation was very convenient for the princes from all over the world to send spies to investigate, but it also made it difficult for them to detect any secrets. So to this day, the backstage boss of the Dragon Gate Inn, except for those who should know, is still a secret to other people who should not know.

Ma Chao naturally easily entered the Longmen Inn in the area of Chen Liucheng, and after seemingly casually explaining to the steward, he got a clean courtyard. Food, bath water and other services immediately followed, which made Lu Qiling and Gan Ning a little amazed.

However, when they were full of food and bathing, and had the heart to observe this single courtyard, they found a very shocking thing: in the stable behind the single courtyard, there were actually three horses eating and drinking, and the black horse that was as strong as a dragon had the true character of the king of ten thousand horses, and from time to time he gasped and snorted, and he was so frightened that the two famous horses next to him were also one in a thousand and did not dare to approach.

"Red snow?"

"Hualiu?"

Lu Qiling and Gan Ning couldn't help but call the names of their foals in unison, galloped to their horses, and teased their heads. Only Xianglong Xiaohei couldn't see Ma Chao, and he raised his head and hissed. At this time, Lu Qiling and Gan Ning also suddenly reacted: Where is Ma Chao?

Xiao Hei was teased by the two of them at this time, and he was already agitated, stepping back and forth, and his snort became heavier and heavier. It seems that it wants to break free from the reins of the horse and look for Ma Chao, so that Lu Qiling and Gan Ning are helpless. However, at this moment, the two suddenly saw a little guy dressed up in a Longmen Inn, walked to the stable, and looked around at the left and right after no one around, only then did they raise their heads to reveal their embarrassed looks, and said: "Evil animal!" What's it called?! ”

However, saying this, Ma Chao still grabbed a handful of black beans in his hand and fed Xiao Hei with his own hands. Then he used his unique 'care' to beat Xiao Hei a few times. Xiao Hei's innocent eyes showed that he regretted his decision to find Ma Chao, and it was completely quiet. Afterwards, Ma Chaocai patted Xiao Hei's forehead and instructed Gan Ning and Lu Qiling: "You monitor everything in this single courtyard, and I will go to find out the news of Yanzhou." ”

"Husband........." Lu Qiling opened her mouth to ask, but seeing that Ma Chao was so mysterious, and knew that she shouldn't talk too much, she couldn't help but change her words: "Be more careful." ”

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, nodded and left. At this time, he was dressed in the clothes of a small servant in the Dragon Gate Inn, and he deliberately pressed the servant hat on his head down, deliberately hiding his face. He also deliberately brought a pot of tea tray from the room, his expression was humble and kind, and his steps were respectful, and he was a handsome inn boy, and no one could associate him with the world-famous Jin Ma Chao.

Lu Qiling and Gan Ning glanced at each other, and the first thing they saw was entering Ma Chao's room. As expected, on his bed, there was already a person lying on the bed wearing Ma Chao's clothes, obviously Ma Chao had arranged everything in advance.

At this time, Ma Chao had already followed the layout in his memory, turned out of the courtyard, and walked outside. As soon as I walked out of the courtyard gate, I saw another shopkeeper waiting there. Ma Chao didn't say a word, followed behind the man, turned around a few times, and walked into a very private guest room.

A man in the room stood with his hands on his hands, looking back at the sound of the voice. The man hurriedly stepped forward, kowtowed to the ground as a salute, and shouted softly: "Lord, you really came to Chen Liu!" ”

After Ma Chao saw this person, he put down the disguise of the shopkeeper, picked up the person, and said word by word: "Single, tell me, is there something big happening in Yanzhou?!" ”

Yes, this person is the single in the shadows, but he feels that the situation in the Han states has changed for no reason in the past half a month, and there are thousands of words in his chest, I don't know where to start, after respectfully Ma Chao sat down, he sorted out his thoughts and said: "It's not that Yanzhou has changed, but that something big has happened in Youzhou, and Yuan Shao started the idea of Yanzhou and Si Li after withdrawing the heavy troops from Youzhou!" ”

A flash of lightning flashed from Ma Chao's mind, and in an instant, Ma Chao intuitively automatically linked the discovery of the shadow contact point with Cao Cao's capture of Dingtao: After Youzhou Gongsun Zan was weakened, Yuan Shao's power extended to Yanzhou, Cao Cao may have benefited from the opportunity, or he may have submitted to Yuan Shao on the surface, but no matter what, now Lu Bu has to face the blows of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the same time, which is definitely uncomfortable!

"Lord, it's not the .........pressure of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao" Ma Chao's face was not good, but after a moment of silence, he still said bluntly: "It is said that over there in Xuchang, Liu Xie's movements are not small. It's just that the subordinates are not in charge of that area, so they don't know much about the situation.........."

"What?!" Ma Chao's face suddenly darkened, and his body stood up involuntarily: Didn't his own big plan not only separate the three families, but let the three families unite? !
