After exchanging eggs with Ling'er, Ma Xiaoquan laughed and peeled off the skin, then swallowed it in one gulp.
Ling'er looked worried and said quickly: "Slow down, you may choke if you eat too hard."
Ma Xiaoquan burped, patted his chest, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine." As he spoke, Ma Xiaoquan felt that more than half of his physical strength had recovered.
Feeling happy in his heart, Ma Xiaoquan did not hesitate and stood up immediately and patted the dust off his body.
Ling'er had seen Ma Xiaoquan in this situation before, so Ling'er didn't seem too surprised when he suddenly stood up. However, Ling'er still couldn't figure out why this purple-haired man would get angry when he ate eggs.
Why did you recover so quickly?
Ma Xiaoquan also couldn't figure this out. If he had to say it, Ma Xiaoquan could only say that it was related to the heart of time in his body. Of course, apart from Mingfa and others, Ma Xiaoquan knew that he had the heart of time.
Nor will anyone else know.
"Let's go." Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand to Ling'er.
Ling'er's pretty face turned red, but she still nodded and stretched out her little hand.
The moment the two hands touched, Ling'er's heart became uneasy like a deer bumping into each other.
Since he was a child, except for his master, he has never been in such close contact with another man. In the past, even if his master was around, he would always play around like a grandfather and grandson. However, although the purple-haired man in front of him was a bit glib,
But Ling'er somehow believed in him from the bottom of her heart and was willing to entrust herself to him according to Master's request.
Master had said before that he would spend his whole life with this purple-haired man, but this life would be short.
Ling'er is still a girl, and a girl's thoughts will inevitably be a little erratic, and she will also have some impulses to act based on her feelings.
Whether it is modern or ancient times, in fact, every girl dreams of finding a support, a support that can make them feel at ease.
Unknowingly, Ling'er clenched her hands.
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan felt his hand suddenly being grasped tightly. He glanced sideways and realized that Ling'er beside him had a face so red that he could squeeze out water.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and thought to himself: What a lovely girl. Well, when she gets older, let's find a good home for her.
As they walked on the road, the two of them said nothing.
Ling'er is a girl who doesn't like silence. She looked at the purple-haired man beside her and couldn't help but said, "Where are we going?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Go to Cao Cao!"
Ling'er sighed and asked again: "Why do you want to go to Cao Cao?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and nodded Ling'er's forehead, and asked her: "Junior sister, do you want to meet the current emperor?"
Ling'er cooed: "Bah, bah, bah, who is your junior sister? It's obviously the senior sister..."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I am obviously older than you, and of course you are a junior sister. Junior sister, senior brother wants to ask you, do you want to meet the current emperor?"
When Ling'er heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded: "The current emperor, oh, what does he look like?"
"Of course it has one mouth, two eyes and one nose!"
Ling'er pouted: "What does meeting the emperor have to do with Cao Cao?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Xiao Cao and I are old friends, so of course I want to go to him. Besides, Xiao Cao still owes me money, so I have to go and ask for the account."
Ling'er pouted her little mouth and said oh, looking very cute.
Ma Xiaoquan actually likes Ling'er very much. Of course, this kind of liking is just a brother's love for his sister. The reason is that Ling'er's voice is very nice.
Ma Xiaoquan secretly compared the voices of his female family members with Ling'er.
If we compare the voices of these women, Hua Yuexin's voice is like an oriole, which lingers around the beam for three days in longing; Diao Chan's voice is like cicadas, lingering around and heart-wrenching; Xiu'er's voice is like a stream, trickling without stopping.
Miaoyu's voice is like a breeze, fluttering and unbearable; Hualin's voice is like a child's, milky and sweet; and Ling'er's voice is very crisp, like a small bell, and sounds very sweet.
Pleasant to the ears.
One woman, one voice.
As he thought about it, Ma Xiaoquan laughed proudly.
Ling'er sounded strange, stopped and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
Ma Xiaoquan didn't hide anything and told Ling'er: "Junior sister, when Cao Cao's matter is finished, I will take you to meet my family."
"family?"
Ling'er feels familiar yet strange to her family.
Since he was born, the only family member he can rely on is his master. Every time during the New Year and the holidays, Ling'er feels very envious when he sees every house decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Once upon a time, Ling'er also thought about his family.
Live by your side, surrounded by your own family, many family members...
Ma Xiaoquan was dumbfounded and didn't understand the girl's heart at all. He scratched his scalp and said, "Well, my wives are pretty."
As soon as Ling'er heard this, a jealousy suddenly surged in her heart.
"You have a wife?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Actually, it doesn't count, I'm just talking."
Hearing what Ma Xiaoquan said, Ling'er's tense heart relaxed.
Ling'er asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Tell me, what is the emperor doing now?"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment: "I think he's still running away..."
...
After Hongnong fled, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and his party had no target. After discussion, the young emperor decided to flee towards the old capital of Luoyang.
Li Jue and Guo Si saw that the little emperor had run away, so they stopped chasing him. After all, chasing requires money and food.
Since Luoyang was burned to the ground by Dong Zhuo, the reconstruction work has been very slow. When the little emperor entered Luoyang and looked at the dilapidated palace, he burst into tears in an instant. For this reason, the little emperor felt deeply and announced in public that the city would be destroyed.
The reign name of this year was changed to "Jian'an", which means "building peace".
Many princes are aware of the news of the little emperor's escape. However, due to the unclear current situation, most princes dare not act rashly. They are afraid that if they go out to meet the little emperor, what will they do if they are taken away?
In AD 196, the first month of the first year of Jian'an reign of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao's counselor Jushou finally couldn't bear it anymore and suggested to his lord Yuan Shao that he should bring the emperor with him to order the princes and gather soldiers and horses to fight against the court. Another counselor Tian Feng agreed with Jushou's view.
He also proposed a similar strategy, called "bringing the emperor to command the princes, and the four seas can be directed to decide".
At this time, Yuan Shao was the strongest among the princes today, and the four states that Yuan Shao occupied were also the richest.
Jushou's idea was to join hands with the emperor and order the princes to achieve a win-win situation. After all, the Han Dynasty had not yet perished.
Yuan Shaogang wanted to agree, but he opened his mouth halfway. Chun Yuqiong stood up and objected: "This big man is in such a decline and will soon perish. Why should we ask for trouble and draw trouble onto ourselves?
?”
Guo Tu also stood up and advised Yuan Shao: "My lord, General Chun is right. Now is the time when my lord is competing for the Central Plains. Once the emperor is brought over, will we listen to him or not? No.
We are resisting the edict, but we feel aggrieved after hearing it. My lord, this is not a good idea to advise Tian Feng."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he thought that this was really the case, so he rolled his eyes at Ju Shou and Tian Feng fiercely, and announced: "Then I won't invite you."
When Ju Sui heard this, he beat his chest and stamped his feet. Tian Feng tried hard to persuade his lord to change his mind. Yuan Shao looked disgusted and ordered his men to beat Ju Sui and Tian Feng with sticks.
...
Yuan Shao is considered a loser, and Cao Cao is also arguing over this matter.
Cao Cao's advisers were also divided into two groups. One group suggested that the lord go to meet the emperor, while the other group also opposed it.
Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind for a moment. After all, what his two factions said was very reasonable.
Seeing the ongoing debate between the two groups, Cao Cao couldn't help but said to himself: "Hey, it would be great if Lord Shangxian was here..."
As soon as Cao Cao sighed with emotion, an announcement came from outside: "Report! Lord, please see me, Lord Immortal."
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed loudly and ignored the counselors. He stepped on his shoes and ran out.
Outside the hall, Cao Cao saw the purple-haired man from a distance. The purple-haired man was looking at him with a smile. Next to the purple-haired man, there was a girl in a green flower shirt.
When Cao Cao took a closer look, he realized that this girl was very pretty.
Cao Cao bowed to Ma Xiaoquan and said: "Master Shangxian, you are fine..."
Ma Xiaoquan returned the greeting: "It's been a while since we last said goodbye. Xiao Cao, well, it seems that you are now the real Yanzhou Shepherd, haha..."
Cao Cao laughed and said, "I have to thank Master Shangxian for your encouragement. I have already beaten Lu Bu away."
Cao Cao rolled his eyes and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "I don't know, why is the Lord Shangxian lying here here?"
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Cao Cao and said only two words: "Jian'an!"
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly and respectfully led Ma Xiaoquan into the inner hall.
Entering the inner hall, Cao Cao's ministers saw that they were immortals, and they all greeted Ma Xiaoquan respectfully, and Ma Xiaoquan responded. At the same time, Ma Xiaoquan also said hello to those who had recently joined Cao's camp.
After greetings, let’s get back to business.
Ma Xiaoquan asked Cao Cao: "Xiao Cao, what do you think of the handling of the little emperor now?"
Cao Cao said: "It has both advantages and disadvantages. Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind at the time."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and suddenly shouted: "Where is Mao Jie?"
Among the advisers and generals, a man in black clothes was stunned, but he quickly stood up.
"Mao Jie is here!"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said to Cao Cao: "Listen to Mao Jie's opinion."
Cao Cao looked sideways at Mao Jie and asked: "Mao Jie, Master Shangxian said that you have an opinion, please tell me." Mao Jie joined Cao Ying not long ago, and his human relations are not yet mature. Logically speaking, he has basically no chance to make suggestions.
Not too much.
How come a purple-haired "Master Immortal" suddenly appeared and made the Lord so obedient in one fell swoop?
Mao Jie didn't understand, but he still said respectfully: "My lord, now that the emperor is in trouble outside, all the princes are more or less plotting against the emperor. From the point of view of my subordinates, my lord should obey the emperor's orders, disobey his ministers, and cultivate the land."
Planting animals and military resources, in this way, hegemony can be achieved!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he responded and asked: "Is this the emperor's order to disobey me? Go on."
Mao Jie said: "To put it simply, it is to command those ministers who disobey the imperial court by respecting the emperor."
