In the first month of the thirteenth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao selected the northwest corner of Yecheng and organized a large number of soldiers and civilians to dig the Xuanwu Pond.

In today's Han family, although Cao Cao is powerful, he is not alone who can cover the sky with one hand and have the final say.

Just a few days after the project started, several important officials of the imperial court went to Xudu to pay tribute to the emperor and asked the emperor to order Cao Cao's excavation project to be stopped immediately.

The weather in the first month of the month was quite cold, although Cao Cao comforted the soldiers and civilians many times in the construction, but there was still a situation of freezing to death, injury and death, this time, Cao Cao was pushed to the top of the wind.

At this time, Emperor Han Xian is no longer the doll who was at the mercy of his teens.

Emperor Han Xian looked at the recital of the ministers, and his eyebrows were twisted into Sichuan characters.

The little yellow door beside him saw that the emperor was silent, and comforted: "Your Majesty, please don't work too hard, Cao Cao, this person is too annoying"

Emperor Han Xian raised his head and glanced at the yellow door, so frightened that the yellow door immediately closed his mouth.

Emperor Han Xian said: "Cao Cao's move is probably aimed at the south, and I, as the emperor, am afraid that I will not be able to stop him." ”

An old minister took a step forward and said respectfully: "Emperor Qi, that Cao thief has done a lot of evil, we can't let him act recklessly like this."

Emperor Han Xian was a little angry and scolded: "You old fellow, do you think I don't know? But today, who is Cao Cao's opponent? ”

The emperor's words blocked several old ministers in front of him.

It was still the little yellow gate beside the emperor who was bold, he stepped forward gently, and said in the ear of Emperor Han Xian: "Your Majesty, haven't you also sealed a fairy marquis?" ”

"Huh?" When Emperor Han Xian heard this, his eyes lit up, "You said Uncle Immortal?" ”

Xiao Huangmen took a step back, knelt on the ground, and said nothing.

Emperor Han Xian thought for a moment and said, "Pass on my message, and the Xuanshen Immortal Marquis will come to see me." ”

"Obey~"

Yecheng, the compound of the Ma family.

Ma Xiaoquan bounced up from his seat and asked the little yellow door in front of him who came to convey the message: "What?" The emperor said he wanted to see me? ”

Xiao Huangmen nodded and said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Hou, the emperor personally named and said that he wanted to see you." ”

Ma Xiaoquan frowned slightly, and promised, "Okay, I'll leave now." ”

When Xiao Huangmen heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his hand to thank him.

After temporarily settling down the little yellow door, Ma Xiaoquan hurriedly ran to Hua Yuexin's bedroom to discuss with his wife.

After listening to Ma Xiaoquan's retelling, Hua Yuexin also frowned.

"Xianggong, as you said, the emperor invited you to meet this time, I'm afraid it's because of Cao Cao's excavation of the Xuanwu Pool, right?"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Madam is right, although the little yellow door didn't explain, but I basically guessed it." ”

Hua Yuexin asked Ma Xiaoquan: "What is Xianggong going to do?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while: "Now outsiders are rumored that I Ma Xiaoquan has a close relationship with Cao Cao, and it is Cao Cao**, and just now I showed a very positive appearance, just to indirectly tell the little emperor, I am me, Cao Cao is Cao Cao"

"Xianggong means"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Cao Cao's Xuanwu Pool can't be stopped, but we can give him a few small stumbling blocks, this is still okay, of course, I still have to prepare"

Hua Yuexin glared at Ma Xiaoquan, and then lightly tapped Ma Xiaoquan's forehead with a jade finger like an onion: "You have a lot of bad ideas."

Two days later, Ma Xiaoquan rushed to Xuchang and met Emperor Xian of Han.

In front of outsiders, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister still has to be given, but because of Ma Xiaoquan's status as an "immortal", Ma Xiaoquan only bows to the emperor and does not kneel.

If Emperor Han Xian was still a child, he wouldn't mind too much, and now, Emperor Han Xian has grown into a young man in his twenties, Ma Xiaoquan worships and does not kneel, and Emperor Han Xian has a lot of complaints in his heart.

Emperor Han Xian asked Ma Xiaoquan sharply: "Why did Aiqing come?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: Okay, you stinky boy, you called Ma Ye and turned around to question me? Okay, after all, I've grown up.

Ma Xiaoquan arched his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, it was the emperor who called the ministers, did the emperor forget it?" ”

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty wanted to deter Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Xiaoquan asked him like this, of course he refused to admit it: "When did I summon you?" How can you be honest? ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Since the emperor and nobles are forgetful, then Weichen can step aside, and when the emperor remembers, he can ask Weichen again." ”

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty took the case, pointed at Ma Xiaoquan and scolded, "You traitor, I treat you well, you actually colluded with Cao Cao and plotted against my Han country, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he said in his heart: Yo, you young man is still energetic, okay, since you want to play, then I will play with you.

Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said slowly: "Your Majesty, if you say that Cao Cao has the heart of Tuhan, I estimate that he has this, but if the emperor says that I have it with Cao Cao, then the emperor is very wrong, please see, the emperor."

Ma Xiaoquan took out a pair of white cloth from his arms and handed it to Xiaohuangmen to present to Emperor Xian of Han.

Emperor Han Xian took the white cloth, unfolded it and looked at it, and was happy.

"Aiqing, what you said here is true?"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, pretending to be respectful: "That's right, every sentence is true." ”

"Great!" Emperor Han Xian was very happy, and hurriedly stepped down to hold Ma Xiaoquan's hand, "I said that my fairy uncle will not betray me, what I saw today, sure enough, hahahaha"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and laughed with Emperor Han Xian

Yecheng, as early as the day when Ma Xiaoquan left for Xudu, Hua Yuexin prepared another letter and asked Liang Long to send it to Cao Cao.

The letter was written by Ma Xiaoquan, and the carrier of the letter was a piece of white cloth.

The ink painting on which the credit is written is made by Ma Xiaoquan according to a kind of grass juice recorded in the "Secret Record of the Hundred Arts Clan".

The grass juice blended out of this recipe has a special effect, as long as it is exposed to the air for two days, the font will become blurry, this qiē, Cao Cao did not know.

This trick was used by Ma Xiaoquan on the white cloth letter to Emperor Han Xian, but Emperor Han Xian's vague time was a little longer, about three days, and Emperor Han Xian didn't know about it.

The next day, Ma Xiaoquan resigned to Emperor Han Xian early in the morning.

Emperor Han Xian was very happy last night, this happiness, he fought with Queen Fu for a night, and when Ma Xiaoquan came to leave, Emperor Han Xian was still asleep.

Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to stuff a gold ingot into each of the guards at the door, and asked them to report after the emperor woke up

Leaving Xudu, Ma Xiaoquan stopped for a while, rushed to Yecheng overnight, and when he arrived at the Ma family compound in Yecheng, it happened to be the next morning.

Ma Xiaoquan didn't take a break, summoned Hua Wuxin to his side, and ordered a few words.

Hua Wuxin raised his head and asked, "Master, what do you mean?"

Ma Xiaoquan snorted: "You just do it!" ”

"Yes!"

Ma Xiaoquan summoned Huang Chang to his side again and gave him some orders, and Huang Chang also took the order

After all the deployments were completed, Ma Xiaoquan exhaled heavily

Not long after resting, the emperor's decree came down.

In order not to give Ma Xiaoquan and Cao Cao time to prepare, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty specially ordered the two Yellow Gates to announce the decree at the same time, one to go to the Ma family compound, and the other to Cao Cao's mansion.

Ma Xiaoquan had long expected that Emperor Han Xian would play such a trick, and the old and spicy Cao Cao also judged that as soon as the two Huangmen decrees were announced, they would not stop, and turned around and left.

Ma Xiaoquan took the holy decree motionlessly and watched the yellow door leave; Cao Cao, on the other hand, immediately took out the letter written by Ma Xiaoquan to him after Huangmen left, ready to read it again.

As soon as he opened half of it, someone reported that someone in Xuanwu Pool had frozen to death again, and Cao Cao had no choice but to put away the white cloth letter and rush to the scene.

At night, Cao Cao, who had been busy all day, did not rest, and knocked on the Ma family's compound overnight, saying that he wanted to find Ma Xiaoquan.

Ma Xiaoquan had already prepared wine and food and waited for Cao Cao's arrival.

Cao Cao entered the courtyard and laughed.

"Sit down, Xiaocao!"

Cao Cao nodded, and handed over the letter that Ma Xiaoquan had written to him a few days ago: "Lord Shangxian, what do you mean by writing this letter?"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, and unfolded the white cloth letter in front of Cao Cao for Cao Cao to see.

Cao Cao looked at it and was taken aback: "What's going on?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan: "This is the will of heaven"

Cao Cao said: "What providence? ”

Ma Xiaoquan asked Cao Cao rhetorically: "What did the emperor say about the holy decree he gave you today?" ”

Cao Cao was a little angry and said, "What do you say about sending the Immortal Master to thoroughly investigate my Xuanwu Pond Project?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "The emperor asked me to take this opportunity to kill you!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, not only did he not panic, but laughed out loud: "Lord Shangxian is willing to kill me Cao?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head.

Cao Cao asked: "What is the providence of Lord Shangxian?"

Ma Xiaoquan picked up a glass of Du Kang wine: "You and I join forces!" ”

"What's the team?"

Ma Xiaoquan said: "This immortal is still the same sentence, I don't participate in the affairs of the world, of course, since you and I have joined forces, then I will help you at the appropriate time, but you can also see Xiao Cao, this court is not your Cao Cao's, or surnamed Liu, naturally there are some courtiers, so, in order to avoid people's eyes, you and I need to keep a certain distance in public, and even you and I can make a false appearance to deceive those old guys and little emperors"

Cao Cao nodded, and kept humming: "Yiqiē obeys the arrangement of Lord Shangxian." ”

Ma Xiaoquan laughed and touched a glass with Cao Cao: "Come, drink!" ”
