Summary of the previous chapter: Cao Cao wanted to dig the Xuanwu Pool in the northwest of Yecheng to train the navy, because the action was too big, a cadre of Han ministers ran to Emperor Han Xian to complain, Emperor Han Xian announced that Ma Xiaoquan was in attendance, and at the same time gave Ma Xiaoquan and Cao Cao each a holy decree, to Ma Xiaoquan's holy decree Emperor Han Xian asked Ma Xiaoquan to kill Cao Cao Ma Xiaoquan of course would not do so, on the contrary, he wanted to join forces with Cao Cao

At the end of the first month of the first month of the ++++++++++++++++++, Cao Cao ordered the excavation project to be temporarily suspended, and at the end of the month, an old Hanchen went to Emperor Han Xian to complain.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty secretly sent a letter to Ma Xiaoquan, asking him to kill Cao Cao as much as possible

Yecheng, the compound of the Ma family.

Ma Xiaoquan frowned and looked at the letter on the table, without saying a word.

Hua Yuexin knocked on the door and entered, looking at Xianggong frowning, so she picked up the letter and read it.

"Xianggong"

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This little emperor is persecuting me."

Hua Yuexin nodded and said: "Judging from the content of this letter, the emperor will definitely not be able to write such a content to make it public, what do you think, 'I am the Ninety-Five, the pride of heaven, you are a thousand-year-old immortal, how can you violate the mandate of heaven', the emperor will definitely not be able to write such words"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "I also know, but now your identity is not only a 'Shangxian Lord', I am also the immortal marquis of this big man."

When Hua Yuexin heard this, she had no idea.

"What then?"

Ma Xiaoquan exhaled and said, "It is absolutely impossible for Xiao Cao to kill, so it violates the principle that I will not participate in the disputes in the world. This little emperor is simply uh-huh, I have to think of a way to compromise the prestige of this little emperor first"

Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while, stood up, and said to Hua Yuexin: "I'll go to Xiaocao's place, if there is anything at home, you can just watch and deal with it!" ”

Hua Yuexin nodded: "Yes!" ”

Coming to Cao Cao's mansion, Ma Xiaoquan handed Cao Cao the letter given to him by Emperor Han Xian.

"Hmm~~~" Cao Cao smiled after reading it, "What do you think of Lord Shangxian?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand, and only heard the sound of "whirring" twice, and a crimson flame ignited from Ma Xiaoquan's right palm.

When Cao Cao saw it, he was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind the desk, and said while hiding: "Lord Shangshangxian, you won't really come, right?"

Ma Xiaoquan grinned and blew out the red flame in the palm of his right hand: "Xiao Cao, don't be afraid, this immortal is just giving it a try, come, come and sit"

Cao Cao was so frightened that he dared to come and sit, so he stood straight behind the desk, and said resignedly: "Lord Shangxian, this joke must not be opened again, I can't stand it."

"Don't worry, your life won't end."

"Then the emperor said that he wanted you to kill me??"

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "How could I kill you, the emperor is just a puppet, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and besides, this Han family can't last long."

Cao Cao stepped forward boldly and asked curiously: "Lord Shangxian means that this Han family is in the world."

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "The Tao of this immortal can only be regarded as this, as for the next thing, this immortal can't do anything." ”

"What does that Lord-sama mean?"

"I need your help, Xiao Cao, you need to find a chance to deter the little emperor"

Cao Cao nodded: "Yiqiē respectfully follow the arrangement of Lord Shangxian." ”

"Hmm!"

The next day, Cao Cao personally went to Xudu to meet Emperor Xian of Han.

After seeing Emperor Han Xian, Cao Cao asked Emperor Han Xian straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I heard that someone is saying bad things about me?" I don't know who it is? ”

Emperor Han Xian gritted his teeth and said: "What's the matter, Cao Aiqing doesn't listen to other people's nonsense." ”

Cao Cao smiled, clapped his hands, and within a few breaths, several of Cao Cao's personal guards came up with an old minister.

"Yao Aiqing? Cao Cao, what are you doing here? ”

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said: "Your Majesty, what am I digging the Xuanwu Pond for, for the unification of my Han Dynasty, and these old guys actually said that I was plotting the world, and I won't say anything, but this old Yao immortal actually went to my project site to spread rumors?" Is it tolerable or unbearable, please ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation of this matter! ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he deliberately shook the saber on his waist.

Although Emperor Han Xian grew up and had certain thoughts, in the face of the fierce and vicious Cao Cao, Emperor Han Xian was still cowardly.

"Then let's do what Cao Aiqing said."

Cao Cao laughed and arched his hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

After speaking, Cao Cao immediately ordered his guards to pull out the old minister surnamed Yao and cut him down.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was only sad about this

Back in Yecheng, Cao Cao immediately visited Ma Xiaoquan and described what he had done in Xudu to Lord Shangxian.

After listening to Cao Cao's description, Ma Xiaoquan sneered and said: "Xiao Cao, you are a little too much, why is it that you are still the emperor of the Han Dynasty, there are some things, you don't want to go too far, just do what you mean by the immortals, do you understand?" ”

Who is Cao Cao? Ma Xiaoquan dialed it a little, and Cao Cao immediately replied: "understand, understand, hehe, it's not a disaster for the family, hehe"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Ben Xian has an idea, this excavation project of Xuanwu Pond, Ben Xian wants to wrap a bag, I don't know Xiao Cao, what do you think?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Lord Shangxian wants to be the supervisor of my project?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Not only the overseer, but the entire project must have the final say of the immortals!" ”

"This"

Cao Cao hesitated.

Cao Cao knew very well in his heart that the excavation of this Xuanwu Pond was not a simple matter, and Cao Cao spent a lot of manpower and energy on the design alone, and the project cost money

Ma Xiaoquan saw Cao Cao's thoughts, and said: "How to do the project, Benxian will not suppress it too much, but in the final decision, Benxian has to participate in it, Xiao Cao, you have also seen it, digging Xuanwu Pond, a lot of people have died, whether they are starving to death, freezing to death, or injured to death, Xiao Cao, you can't get out of it, Benxian is actually helping you by doing this."

Cao Cao thought for a while: "Then do the project, this problem of money and food"

Ma Xiaoquan said: "Of course it's Xiao Cao, you are out, and this immortal doesn't fight the world!" ”

Cao Cao: "Let me think about it"

Ma Xiaoquan shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking.

At this moment, Hua Wuxin suddenly asked to see him outside the door.

Ma Xiaoquan recruited Hua Wuxin in and asked, "What's wrong Wuxin?" ”

Hua Wuxin glanced at Cao Cao, it didn't seem to be very convenient.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, Xiao Cao is not an outsider!"

Hua Wuxin nodded and said respectfully: "Master, something happened to Xuanwu Chi." ”

"What?" It was not Ma Xiaoquan who was excited first, but Cao Cao.

Cao Cao stood up and grabbed Hua Wuxin's shoulder: "What's wrong?" ”

Hua Wuxin said respectfully: "Back to Lord Cao, the weather is bad, and the work was forcibly started, and hundreds of people died." Now, there is a bit of a riot among the military and the people, saying that it is against the will of heaven to dig the Xuanwu Pond."

"Nonsense! It's just nonsense."

Having said that, the facts are the facts, and Cao Cao also knew about the death of hundreds of people. Cao Cao originally thought that he could get rid of it by paying a little more money and food, but he didn't expect that the current situation would develop in the direction of "going against the will of heaven".

Cao Cao didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but the vast majority of people still did.

"Lord Shangxian" Cao Cao cast a begging glance at Ma Xiaoquan for help.

Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said slowly: "So, Xiao Cao, this immortal said that he wanted to wrap the project of Xuanwu Pond, which is also what he meant."

"Hmm~~~" Cao Cao sat down and wiped the sweat from his face, "Then there will be Lord Lao Shangxian." ”

After Cao Cao left, Ma Xiaoquan asked Hua Wuxin: "Huang Chang is responsible for opening up the relationship, how is the implementation?" ”

Hua Wuxin said respectfully: "Back to the master's words, basically everything is in place." ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay, this time the things handed over to the two of you, you did a very good job!" ”

Hua Wuxin knelt on one knee: "The master is wise!" ”

"Hmm!"

After taking over the project of Xuanwu Pond, Ma Xiaoquan was happy and didn't sleep well for a few days. You must know that whether it is in ancient times or in modern times, as long as it involves projects, especially government projects, you can make a lot of money, which is why many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law of county party secretaries and mayors are desperately trying to do these projects

Excavating the basalt pond is not like building a road, which requires a lot of curves and curves. Just dig the pool, put water in it, and then do the grooming work.

Cao Cao is a northerner, and he doesn't know much about the construction and excavation of the Xuanwu Pond, but now that Ma Xiaoquan has contracted it, Cao Cao doesn't know much about it.

Standing on the embankment of Xuanwu Pond, Ma Xiaoquan was extremely excited.

This trip to the project has only been started for half a month, and Ma Xiaoquan has fished a lot of money.

"Cool~~~" Ma Xiaoquan felt like a profiteer for a moment.

A small worker ran to the bottom of the embankment and shouted: "Lord Shangxian, someone is injured~~"

Ma Xiaoquan turned his head to take a look, jumped off the embankment, and followed the little worker to the location of the wounded.

After seeing the injured people, Ma Xiaoquan didn't say a word, and instructed him to make a detailed record of the eight people he had newly received, and after making the record, he immediately gave corresponding compensation.
