In early March of the fourth year of Chuping reign of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty (AD 193), a month had passed since the Hua family’s bracelet ceremony. During this month, Ma Xiaoquan dreamed of Hua Yuexin more than once.
, I also dreamed of Mingyue Xin more than once in my dream.
Although the two girls look very different, Ma Xiaoquan always feels that the two girls have the same temperament and behavior.
"Why is this like this..." Ma Xiaoquan muttered to himself, put down his legs on the desk, and then left his bedroom.
Since agreeing to the Hua family, the messenger sent by the Hua family has visited more than once to deliver messages.
According to the messenger, the Hua family moved all the important things away on the third day after the bracelet-wearing ceremony at the festival. The messenger didn't know where exactly they were moved.
Although Ma Xiaoquan was surprised, but considering that the Hua family had been standing in the world for hundreds of years, they naturally had their own ideas. Therefore, Ma Xiaoquan did not pay too much attention to the sudden departure of the Hua family without saying goodbye.
"How many people are still living here in Dongjun?" Ma Xiaoquan asked the messenger.
The messenger said respectfully: "Master Ma, there are less than 10 people left..."
Ma Xiaoquan was shocked and stopped talking.
Now less than ten people have moved into a manor in Nuo Da. Ma Xiaoquan really can't understand whether this Hua family is wealthy or something.
"What about Hua Yuexin?"
The messenger shook his head and said: "I really don't know. I only know that when the patriarch leaves, he asked me to tell Mr. Ma. When the time comes, he will naturally inform Mr. Ma."
After the messenger finished speaking, he respectfully presented a blue scroll: "Master Ma, the patriarch asked me to give this to you."
Ma Xiaoquan took the blue scroll and understood immediately. After sending away the messenger servant of the Hua family, Ma Xiaoquan slowly opened the scroll.
If you want to take it, you must give it first. Hua Yi Xi Hua Liang Yi needs Ma Xiaoquan's help, so naturally she has to show sincerity first.
The scroll recorded the various contact points of the Hua family in Dongjun and Yanzhou. When Ma Xiaoquan opened the scroll, he smelled the smell of medicine. Based on his previous experience as a special soldier, Ma Xiaoquan believed that what the Hua family gave him was a one-time medicine.
Record sheet.
Sure enough, not long after memorizing all the contact points, Ma Xiaoquan discovered that the scroll began to curl, then turned black, and within a while, the words on the scroll became blurred.
"This Hua family is really..." Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and threw away the scroll.
Fortunately, he has a data device in his body. With the memory function of the data device, Ma Xiaoquan has memorized all the contact points of the Hua family in Yanzhou and Dongjun. With these contact points, no matter what he is looking for, it will be much easier.
Just as he was enjoying himself, there was a very rude knocking on the door.
Zhao Er opened the door and found a big man in armor, pacing back and forth anxiously. As soon as the big man saw the door open, he squeezed Zhao Er away without saying a word.
"Presumptuous!" Zhang Gong and Yang Hu saw this man being so reckless and quickly stepped forward to stop him.
The big man seemed to have some scruples, so he stopped, bowed, and shouted: "Sir, Lord Shangxian, is Shangxian here?"
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan had already noticed this man when he broke into the door, and Ma Xiaoquan also recognized the identity of this big man at a glance.
Seeing the big man calling him, Ma Xiaoquan walked out with a smile and said, "Zilian, what kind of wind brings you here?"
The person who came is Cao Hong, whose courtesy name is Zilian.
When Cao Hongyi saw Ma Xiaoquan, he immediately knelt down and said respectfully: "Zi Lian has met Lord Shangxian!"
Ma Xiaoquan waved to Zhang Gong, Yang Hu and others who were not far away, went up personally to help Cao Hong up, and asked: "Zilian, you came to my place, but Xiao Cao has something to ask for?"
Cao Hong was stunned, scratched his scalp and said: "I can't hide anything from Lord Shangxian. Yes, my lord does have something to ask of you. I hope you will leave with me now to meet my lord."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said nothing. Although Ma Xiaoquan felt that Cao Hong's visit was very unexpected, even if Cao Hong did not come, he, Ma Xiaoquan, would go to see Cao Cao in a few days.
According to historical records, in about one month, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, will be on the border of Xuzhou. Cao Cao, after his father's death, will definitely take the opportunity to attack Xuzhou on the grounds of revenge for his father. Popularized
To put it in perspective, Xuzhou in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period was not Xuzhou today. Xuzhou at that time included several places, and was generally similar to a small province today. After a long time, Ma Xiaoquan asked Cao Hong: "Zilian?"
, What does Xiao Cao want to see me for?"
Cao Hong looked troubled, and it took him a while before he said: "A famous scholar named Bian Rang in Yanzhou took the lead in mocking the lord, and the lord was very upset..."
Cao Hong didn't say anything, and Ma Xiaoquan almost forgot about this incident.
Historically, Bian Rang looked down on Cao Cao's birth and repeatedly ridiculed Cao Cao. Cao Cao eventually killed his entire family. It was because of Cao Cao's actions that he caused strong dissatisfaction among the Yanzhou gentry and also caused the rebellion of his adviser Chen Gong.
Raising troops to rebel, of course, is only one of the reasons.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "Okay, in that case, I will go with you."
Cao Hong was overjoyed when he heard that. He quickly stood up and hugged Ma Xiaoquan: "Master Shangxian, you are so kind!"
Ma Xiaoquan: "..."
...
Ma Xiaoquan stayed with Cao Hong for one night. After breakfast early the next day, Ma Xiaoquan was ready to leave.
Several female relatives expressed strong dissatisfaction and protest when they heard that Brother Xian was not taking them with him.
Ma Xiaoquan couldn't laugh or cry. It wasn't that he didn't want to take her, but that in the era he came here, it was really unsafe to take beautiful women out. Secondly, because he was probably going to be in trouble with Cao Cao for a while this time, so he took these girls with him.
It's really not convenient enough.
Looking at the angry Diao Chan and others, Ma Xiaoquan helplessly shook his head. Diao Chan has fully grown, and Ma Xiaoquan is so beautiful that his heart flutters every time he looks at it. Xiuer, Miaoyu and Hualin are both stunning.
, these four girls were brought with them purely for the purpose of being abused, so Ma Xiaoquan had no intention of taking them with them; as for Ding Yi, Yang, Hu, and Liang Long's three subordinates, because of their sowing speed, Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to bring along Zhang Gong, who had not found his aunt yet.
Zhang Gong showed off in front of the other three people, but Ding Yi's words directly suppressed Zhang Gong's arrogance.
Ding Yi said to Zhang Gong: "You don't have an aunt! How pitiful."
Zhang Gong: "..."
Zhang Gong walked to Ma Xiaoquan with a depressed face and sighed heavily.
After giving some more instructions, Ma Xiaoquan and Cao Hongyi left the house.
At the door, several female relatives were crying, and Ma Xiaoquan couldn't bear to see it. But thinking of what was about to happen, Ma Xiaoquan gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Don't cry, I'm not the damn one
Go and die, why are you crying? Just wait for me and don't run around, do you hear me?"
Several female relatives jumped and looked at Ma Xiaoquan with wide eyes. Then they calmed down and nodded obediently.
After appeasing the female family members, Ma Xiaoquan settled a few trivial matters, then mounted his horse and ran towards Yanzhou with Cao Hong...
...
In mid-March of the third year of Chuping reign of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Ma Xiaoquan met Cao Cao.
Theoretically speaking, it is not that far from Dongjun to Yanzhou. However, on the way there, because Cao Hong was infected with wind and cold and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, Ma Xiaoquan could only stop temporarily and take care of Cao Hong until he recovered.
The body moves again.
When they met up with Cao Cao, Cao Cao immediately ordered that Cao Hong be punished.
Ma Xiaoquan stopped Cao Cao and comforted him: "You can't blame Zilian for this. Xiao Cao doesn't need to be angry. I'd rather give in. Tell me what's going on?"
Ma Xiaoquan lightly changed the topic to Bian Rang. When Cao Hong saw that his lord had no intention of punishing him, he ducked out and slipped out.
Cao Cao frowned, very annoyed. After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao sighed: "Over there, since I took over Yanzhou Mu, he has been mocking me. He went to attend some conference some time ago, and I finally became quiet.
Today, when I come back, it starts again..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Are you making fun of you because you are a eunuch?"
Cao Cao was stunned, cupped his hands and said: "Master Shangxian has a wonderful plan, that's exactly what it is!"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Then what do you want to do, or what do you plan to do?"
Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "Bian Rang is a famous person in the world. He is talented and represents a talent. Putting aside his sarcasm and sarcasm, I really want to recruit this person..."
Ma Xiaoquan said oh.
It seems that what is said in history is that Cao Cao loves his talents and cherishes them. It is true that Cao Cao felt compassion even for the side who scolded him as worthless.
"Then what?"
Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that the people here refused to obey me and ridiculed me life and death. If he hadn't been a famous person in the world, I would have killed him on the spot..."
Cao Cao's implication was very clear. If Bian Rang didn't stop his sarcasm, Cao Cao would definitely kill him.
Ma Xiaoquan comforted Cao Cao and left the room.
Outside the door, Cao Hong, who had been waiting for a long time, came to greet him.
"Lord Immortal, how is it, how is it?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and asked Cao Hong: "Does your lord hate the nobles very much?"
Cao Hong thought for a while and nodded.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and patted Cao Hong on the shoulder: "Bian Rang won't live long."
Cao Hong was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he realized that Master Shangxian had already gone away.
Cao Hong suddenly remembered one more thing, and quickly took out a pair of bamboo slips from his arms and ran in the direction where Ma Xiaoquan had gone.
...
After finally stopping Master Shangxian, Cao Hong hurriedly presented the bamboo slips to Ma Xiaoquan.
"What is this?" Ma Xiaoquan asked as he took the bamboo slip.
Cao Hong said: "Isn't Lord Shangxian looking for an object? This is the information that Cao Hong, Brother Xiahou and I collected during the days we came to Yanzhou. I would like to ask Lord Shangxian to take a look at it."
