After the night, the sun rose as usual.

But this day's Xiangyang was slightly different, Ma Chao learned of the disappearance of the five shadows last night, and ordered the shadows to investigate with all their might. And for that Zhang Song, he was still called as usual. But the strange thing is that Zhang Song was sick in bed that day due to the lack of adaptation to water and soil. Ma Chao sneered after hearing the news, but he didn't visit in person.

He has to wait for two very important people to come to Xiangyang today, although this welcome ceremony is extremely shabby compared to Zhang Song's time, but those who have a heart can find that although Ma Chao's actions are secretive this time, he completely brought a confidant. Even, even Diao Chan accompanied Ma Chao out of the city to greet him.

Soon a force came out of the distant morning light. They maintain a strict phalanx, their armor is fine, and they reflect the sunlight when they approach the city, and they look like a mobile fortress that shines with heat and fighting spirit. When Ma Chao saw them, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was a very natural, heartfelt smile, and it was clear that the person who came was exactly what he had been waiting for.

The team stopped when they reached the city gate, and with the call of several officers, they quickly divided into several detachments, each driving in a direction, and soon took the city gate as the center of the circle, unfolded into a semi-encircled protective circle, and even thoughtfully left a very comfortable passage for Ma Chao and the others.

A luxurious and exquisite carriage slowly drove into the protective circle, and drove until it was in front of Ma Chao and everyone before stopping. The curtain was lifted from the inside by a slender hand, revealing a large forehead and then a man's head. His eyes were clearer than the morning sun above his head, and his skin was as white and crystal as jade, as if it was carved from jade, frost and snow.

"I actually greeted the lord in person, and Jia was afraid to do it." Guo Jia said calmly, and at the same time put a pill into his mouth and took another sip of water.

Ma Chao's brows furrowed, he wasn't worried about the pill Guo Jia took. With Hua Tuo here, Guo Jia's health pills were no longer free of toxins, but they were just warm and replenish the physical losses caused by his earlier consumption of Wushi San. The reason why he frowned was because the person who opened the curtain should not be Guo Jia......

"If you want to be beautiful, I can't wait for you." Ma Chao stepped forward, and although he said so, he still hugged Guo Jia with his own hands.

"Sure enough, my face is not as big as that old poison ......" Guo Jia waved his hand, gave way to the side, and signaled that there was another person in the car.

Ma Chao looked inside, and his smile became even brighter, because there was another person sitting next to Guo Jia. This man is old, sick like an old tree that is about to wither.

Jia Xu glanced at Ma Chao deeply, a little relieved, but then complained: "The old man has little time, I never thought that the lord found this retirement place for the old man, which is really good." After speaking, he coughed violently twice. Ma Chao wanted to laugh a little, and replied: "Good people don't live long, and they will be a scourge for 10,000 years, Jia Fox, you are the biggest scourge in this world, I'm afraid 10,000 years is not enough for you to live." ”

"Go, go!" Jia Xu smiled rarely, and pushed away Ma Chao's hand that stretched out to support him. Diao Chan on the side covered his mouth and sneered, but replaced Ma Chao and helped Jia Xu down with his own hands.

"My lord, this Xiangyang land of fish and rice, a land of ointment, is a prosperous and wasteful place." Guo Jia smashed his mouth and looked around for a while before he finished speaking: "In such a calm and waveless place, the talents of the lord and the world are all overused, why do you still have to wait for me and the two of you to come?" ”

"Under this calm and waveless, but the dark tide is turbulent, without a pair of discerning eyes of the two of you, I really can't see through the overall situation of the world......" Ma Chao seemed to feel something, but he didn't want to let the atmosphere be heavy at the city gate, and then turned his head and asked: "Besides, I didn't invite you to ...... either"

"Ahem, the old man brought him here." Jia Xu opened his mouth and took two steps slowly, but he agreed with Ma Chao's opinion: "Jingzhou is a place that the princes of the dead side can hope for but cannot get, although the lord is seated, he has not fully controlled it, and His Majesty and the princess are here, and it has become the focus of the world...... Ahem, I heard that Yizhou is still here? Now, it's even more lively. ”

Seeing that Jia Xu was still thinking about the Ma family, Ma Chao couldn't help but be a little moved, and looked back at Guo Jia, who had already begun to think, and didn't know what to say. At that moment, the two of them were put in the chariot and told the recent events in Xiangyang one by one.

After the chariot arrived at Ma Chao's mansion, Ma Chao almost finished telling him about Da Qiao. After entering the hall, Ma Chao sat down on the throne before he spoke again: "Last night, the shadow lost five people, and today Zhang Song is sick again. I was worried about Jingzhou, so I called the two of them, and this time I have no clue, so I ask the two of you to answer......"

After Guo Jia heard this, he sighed a little and teased: "Lord, this natural yin and yang, each accounts for half, you underestimate women too much, but you will suffer a big loss." ”

Ma Chao's rare face blushed, and he raised his teacup and drank it lightly to hide his embarrassment. He admitted that he had done a little hasty in the matter of Da Qiao, at least the letter from Aunt Liu in Chang'an was scolding, saying that the bride could be changed, but not not married, and the Ma family could not lose such a face, which made Ma Chao very embarrassed. It's just that he didn't expect Guo Jia to be so Meng Lang that he would make fun of himself directly in front of Diao Chan.

But Jia Xu's face became serious, and after looking up at Ma Chao, he slowly spoke: "Lord, don't think that Fengxiao is talking and laughing, as you said, that Da Qiao and Jiangdong Sun Ce have a marriage contract, and Sun Ce has always been obsessed with him?" ”

"That's true." Ma Chao nodded, looking at Jia Xu's serious appearance, he also had some doubts in his heart.

"Then as you said, this Da Qiao has been in the elite of Jiangdong for several years, and he must have his own channels to send a message to that Sun Ce?" Jia Xu asked again.

Ma Chao glanced at Diao Chan, because these things involved his heartache, he didn't ask much. And Diao Chan was the most in the know, and said: "Although I don't know her channels, the concubine can be sure that she can pass on the news to Sun Ce effortlessly." ”

"That's it." Guo Jia also became serious at this time: "Lord, you peach blossom robbery, I'm afraid you will cause a big mess." If you think about the overall situation today, the Ma family is leading the trend, and only the Cao family and the Sun family are left to be enemies. ”

Ma Chao's expression was moved, and under the overlook of Jia Xu and Guo Jia jumping out of the game, he suddenly remembered a person and remembered something: that person, there are two very important women beside him, one is connected to the Cao family, and the other is connected to Sun Ce. And he fell ill while he was away, and firmly tied the heart of the woman who was connected to Sun Ce to him. In this way, his illness is not as simple as imagining that he just wants to win himself on another battlefield!

Thinking of Liu Xie's desperate eyes when he fell in the Xiangyang County Shoufu that day, he suddenly understood Liu Xie's intentions: before, he still regarded himself as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, just to defeat himself when changing the situation; But now, all his pride has been trampled underfoot, and he wants to do everything he can, gambling with the entire troubled world, using the red dust robbery as a bargain, and doing everything to destroy himself!

That guy is really a ruthless character who lives in his own feelings!

Thinking of this, Ma Chao felt that his back was already soaked, and he was really glad that he had found Jia Xu and Guo Jia. Otherwise, there would be a lot of fog in front of him, and he would probably still be entangled in Zhang Song's affairs...... Wrong! Since Liu Xie has secretly connected the Cao family and the Sun family, will he let go of the feng shui treasure in Yizhou?

And since he wants to be the one who threads the needle and gathers the rest of the world's strength to fight against the Ma family, who will be the agent he chooses in Yizhou?

Ma Chao closed his eyes, he didn't need Mu Yang to send the letter, and he guessed who the person in the wine shop was last night...... It's just that he still doesn't know how Liu Bei will give Liu Xie an online ride, and how he will send troops to Yizhou?

At this time, there was a sound outside the door, Diao Chan heard that it was a secret signal unique to shadows, got up and opened the door, took a three-inch slip from the hand of a person dressed as a housekeeper, and handed it directly to Ma Chao. After Ma Chao saw it, his expression was very solemn: "It seems that that person wants to spread out a world in the southwest corner of the Han family territory before the Ma family recovers." After that, Ma Chao handed the note from Mu Yang several times to Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and wrote the list of people who left the restaurant last night......

"Unexpectedly, our Majesty is really restless for a moment......" Guo Jia smiled, and then blurted out a joke: "Lord, were you a pair of enemies with Your Majesty in your previous life, why didn't he let you go?" ”

Ma Chao smiled bitterly and replied with some emotion: "You're really right......"
