Summary of the previous chapter: Huang Jingming left three points of attention to Ma Xiaoquan, one is to protect the heart of the flower moon, the second is not to hand over the solar recorder to anyone, and the third is to build yì If the entity crosses again, go to the end of the Ming Dynasty

On the second day of the Lunar New Year ++++++++++++++++++++++, Ma Xiaoquan appeared.

The ladies accompanied Ma Xiaoquan, all of them were full of red light, and everyone with a discerning eye knew that only women would become like this when they were nourished by men.

Looking at the smiling ladies around him, Ma Xiaoquan secretly cried bitterly in his heart, from the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the present, Ma Xiaoquan has almost desperately "fought" with the wives, before Ma Xiaoquan was very envious of Wei Xiaobao in "Lu Ding Ji", envious that people have seven wives, seven days a week to sleep with their daughter-in-law is not the same, but since having so many wives, Ma Xiaoquan understands a truth, even if you are a strong man, you can't withstand the night and night, let alone a woman like a tiger and a wolf at thirty.

"Lord Shangxian, hehe, Happy New Year~" Several heads of the scholar clan came over and bowed their hands to Ma Xiaoquan to greet the New Year.

Ma Xiaoquan also responded with a smile.

"Lord Shangxian, why didn't I see you on the first day of the new year, are you not feeling well?"

Ma Xiaoquan wanted to nod, but when he glanced at the corner of his eye, he found that the ladies were staring at him, and said insincerely: "Oh~ Hehe, I am not feeling unwell, but I have been refining a pill recently, so I delayed for a while." ”

"Pills?" The heads of the Shi clan were interested when they heard this, "Is it longevity or immortality?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows: "Naturally, it will prolong life, but this time I plan to improve the formula but it is quite difficult, so after the year, I may have to retreat."

"Lord Shangxian" Several heads of the scholar clan glanced at each other, "Can you succeed in refining?"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Oh, I can't guarantee the time, and there may not be a few, you can discuss it yourself, it's best for as few people to know about this matter as possible." ”

Several heads of the family nodded and discussed together.

Xiu'er approached Ma Xiaoquan, pouted and whispered: "Xianggong knows how to deceive people." ”

Ma Xiaoquan hugged Xiu'er, and said with a smile: "Take what you need, hehe, by the way, Xiu'er, I will go to King Wei's Mansion on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." ”

Xiu'er's body was shocked: "Do you want to see Cao Cao?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded.

Xiu'er was a little reluctant in her heart, she knew that after Xianggong saw Cao Cao, it was very likely that he would leave immediately.

"Can't it be postponed for a few more days?"

Ma Xiaoquan sighed and shook his head gently: "It won't be delayed, Xiu'er is obedient"

Xiu'er gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, forcibly squeezed out a smile, and sighed

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the twenty-fifth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (220 AD), Ma Xiaoquan led six ladies to the palace of the king of Wei.

At this time, Cao Cao was terminally ill, and the imperial doctors privately rumored that King Wei would not live this month, and the crown prince Cao Pi was already ready to succeed to the throne.

Ma Xiaoquan's battle to the Wei Wangfu was very large, and the gongs, drums, and cannons were played very lively.

After the guard of honor, Ma Xiaoquan specially prepared New Year's gifts for Cao Cao, with ten boxes.

Before arriving at the Wei Palace, Ma Xiaoquan and the four sons of the Ma family jumped off their mounts.

The Wei Wangfu seems to have already received the news of Ma Xiaoquan's coming, and as soon as the five members of the Ma family's father and son got off the horse, the people of the Wei Wangfu stepped forward respectfully.

"Happy New Year, Lord Shangxian~ Happy New Year, the head of the Ma family (Ma Xiao), several Master Ma (referring to Ma Kun, Ma Zheng and Ma Qiang) have a good New Year~" The subordinates of the Wei Wangfu waited very politely.

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Well, Xiao Cao seems to know that I'm coming, so let's take the trouble to lead the way~"

"Yes!"

The leaders of the Wei Wangfu, the father and son of the Ma family, came to the main hall of the palace together.

In the main hall, Mrs. Bian, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi were waiting for the Ma family father and son with a smile, and tea and snacks had already been placed on the table.

Seeing the Ma family's father and son enter the main hall, Mrs. Bian led her three sons to greet them.

"Lord Shangxian, have a good New Year~" Mrs. Bian arched her hand at Ma Xiaoquan as she learned from a man's appearance.

Ma Xiaoquan laughed and quipped: "Mrs. Bian is really good Yaxing, the New Year is good~"

Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Xiao Cao didn't get up, well, I'll go see him~"

Mrs. Bian nodded: "Lord Shangxian, the husband will only let you go alone!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan said: "I know, I made an agreement with Xiao Cao!" ”

Cao Pi interjected: "Lord Shangxian, what have you agreed with my father?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan didn't speak, turned his head and glared at Cao Pi, Cao Pi shrunk his neck in fright, and didn't dare to say anything.

A few days ago, the flame girl came to the prince's mansion every day to harass Cao Pi, which made Cao Pi unable to sleep at night, and the mood was also very unhappy.

Cao Pi knew very well in his heart that the one he could have now was more or less with the help of Lord Shangxian, and Lord Shangxian sent a flame girl to come, just a warning, if he was restless, I am afraid that even his life would be lost, seeing that his father was dying, if he died at this time, it must be his younger brother Cao Zhi who became the crown prince, wouldn't it be unjust?

After thinking about it, Cao Pi still decided to compromise with the Ma family and no longer continue to fight the Ma family.

Cao Zhi saw that his brother was deflated in front of Lord Shangxian, and his heart was happy.

Cao Zhi said: "Lord Shangxian, go quickly, my father is waiting for you~"

Ma Xiaoquan didn't give Cao Zhi any good looks, and Cao Zhi, who was frightened, also shrank for a while.

Seeing this, Cao Pi was secretly happy in his heart, from this point of view, Lord Shangxian didn't seem to be partial, well, that's good, that's good

Ma Xiaoquan gave a few orders, followed Mrs. Bian, and came to Cao Cao's bedroom.

The door of the bedroom was hidden, Ma Xiaoquan knocked lightly twice, and then pushed the door in.

On the side of the bed, Cao Cao's daughter, that is, the wife of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the current queen, was serving her father with all her heart, and when she saw that the immortal was coming, she hurriedly stood up and saluted Ma Xiaoquan.

"Niangniang doesn't have to be polite~" Ma Xiaoquan said politely, "How is Xiao Cao?" ”

"My father is not in good health, I'm afraid"

Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand to stop it: "Okay, I know, please excuse me, I have something to say to Xiaocao." ”

"This" Cao Cao's daughter seemed a little reluctant.

"Ning Ning (Cao Cao's daughter's nickname)" Cao Cao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke, "Ning Ning, go out"

"Daddy"

"Dad, it's okay, you go out and call Bian Er (Cao Cao's affectionate name for Mrs. Bian) in."

"Yes!"

After a while, Mrs. Bian walked into the bedroom with red eyes.

Cao Cao exhaled and asked Madame Bian to help him sit up.

"Lord Shangxian, don't you mind if Madame is here?"

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head.

"Hmm~~ Then thank you Lord Shangxian, hehe"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Xiao Cao, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is the last day of the New Year, I will give you a New Year's greeting, hehe, have a good New Year~" Ma Xiaoquan arched his hand.

Cao Cao smiled slightly, and with the help of Mrs. Bian, he returned the salute to Ma Xiaoquan.

Ma Xiaoquan moved over a small stool and sat in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao glanced at Ma Xiaoquan and said, "Lord Shangxian, I have always had some questions I want to ask you."

Ma Xiaoquan said: "I know, we have already made an agreement on this. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "I still remember that our agreement was that I leave, and you leave, right?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded.

"Ahem" Cao Cao suddenly coughed violently.

Mrs. Bian was frightened, and hurriedly gently patted her husband's back and chest to help him calm down.

Cao Cao raised his head, suddenly shook off Mrs. Bian's hand very strongly, and said loudly: "Madam, I'm fine!" ”

Mrs. Bian was stunned for a moment, looked up at her husband's face, and couldn't help but be startled.

The sickly face that was still pale just now turned rosy after coughing a few times.

Ma Xiaoquan was also stunned, his heart was not good, this is a return to the light, Cao Cao is afraid that his life will not be long in coming.

Mrs. Bian also saw the clues, and she couldn't hold back and cried with a whine.

"What is there to cry about? Get out of the way! ”

Mrs. Bian covered her face and rushed out of the door.

Cao Cao's daughter couldn't help but be startled when she saw Mrs. Bian suddenly rushing out of the bedroom, and she was still covering her face and crying, and just as she was about to enter the bedroom, she heard Cao Cao's voice in the bedroom: "This king is fine, everyone listens, except for Mrs. Bian, no one is allowed to enter the room, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

Cao Cao's words were loud, but everyone who was closer heard them.

After giving the order, Cao Cao smiled with satisfaction.

Ma Xiaoquan lamented in his heart, he understood that with Cao Cao's ingenuity, he must have also thought of his return.

"Lord Shangxian" Cao Cao asked, "Lord Shangxian, my time is running out, right?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Cao Cao smiled: "Do you remember the scene when we first met?" Lord Shangxian? ”

Ma Xiaoquan laughed, took out a pot of wine from his arms, and took out two more glasses.

Ma Xiaoquan put the wine glass on the flat wood next to the bed, poured it full of water and wine, and said slowly: "Of course I remember, Xiaocao, you didn't believe me, and you poked me with a sword, right?" ”
