Not long after Cao Cao escaped from Gumen, Dong Zhuo found out.
"A bunch of trash!" Dong Zhuo slapped the table and shouted, "Drag them down and chop them down."
"Prime Minister, have mercy on me... Prime Minister, have mercy on me..."
After a while, several heads were presented to them. Dong Zhuo just narrowed his eyes and waved them away.
Li Ru's face was not good either. After all, he had single-handedly handled the matter of promoting Cao Cao. Now, Cao Cao's people were gone, and Li Ru felt very suffocated.
"Li Ru!"
Li Ru was covered in cold sweat and knelt in front of Dong Zhuo, crying: "Prime Minister, please have mercy on me, Prime Minister, please have mercy on me, that guy Cao Cao doesn't know what is good or bad..."
"Okay!" Dong Zhuo said, "I don't blame you, but I wonder if Master Shangxian knows about this matter?"
Li Ru snorted, kowtowed quickly and said, "I'm going to inquire now."
...
In the Situ Mansion, Ma Xiaoquan figured that Cao Cao had almost left the house, so that night, Ma Xiaoquan slept so soundly that he didn't even know that Hualin had entered Ma Xiaoquan's house after knocking on the door several times early in the morning without success.
"Is my brother sleeping?"
Hua Lin tiptoed to the bed and gently opened the quilt.
"Yeah!" Suddenly, Hualin's pretty little face turned red, and for a moment, the little girl was at a loss.
At this moment, Ma Xiaoquan was dreaming of a big meal, and he had no idea about Hua Lin who was right in front of him.
After all, Hua Lin had no experience in human affairs, and no one had ever told her that men had vaginal discharge in the morning. Especially now that she saw the thing sticking out of Ma Xiaoquan's crotch, Hua Lin showed endless curiosity.
The little girl stretched out her tender little hand and tapped it gently.
"It's so hard..." The little girl became even more curious, and slowly stretched out her two little hands and held them tightly.
"Uh" Ma Xiaoquan wiped away the tears at the corner of his mouth. He vaguely felt that someone was grabbing his lifeblood. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a little girl, who was grabbing his lifeblood through her underwear.
"Holy shit!" Ma Xiaoquan sat up suddenly and broke into a cold sweat.
"You are...Lin'er, why are you in my room?"
Hualin's face turned red, she retracted her hands, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's late, it's time to eat."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled helplessly: "In the future, don't just enter my room without my permission, do you hear me?"
The little girl made a face at Ma Xiaoquan and jumped out.
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his scalp and thought: I should have pretended to sleep if I had known earlier.
...
After finishing cleaning up, Ma Xiaoquan, accompanied by Hua Lin, went to the main hall of Situ Mansion. At this moment, Li Ru was pacing anxiously.
"Eh? Li Ru? Why are you here?"
When Li Ru saw Ma Xiaoquan, he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Master Shangxian, Cao Cao has run away!"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed: "I've already figured it out! Well... what did Xiao Dong say?"
Li Rudao: "The Prime Minister ordered me to invite Master Shangxian to a gathering at his house."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "I know, you go back first, I'll be there soon."
"Hey, yes!" Li Ru stood up, bowed his body and retreated.
...
It is said that after Cao Cao escaped from Luoyang from Gumen, he ran wildly and fled towards Chenliu without stopping. It happened to be raining heavily and the road was muddy. Cao Cao had no choice but to stop temporarily.
On the paths leading to and from there, there were usually some simple straw huts built by the common people. Cao Cao got off his horse, tied the horse to the stakes of the hay hut, and looked up at the sky.
"It will rain for a while..."
At this moment, several people dressed as nobles suddenly broke into the hut.
Cao Cao instinctively drew his sword and shouted: "Who is it?"
These people did not panic, but one of them asked Cao Cao: "Who are you?"
Cao Cao looked up and down at the man in the middle, but he saw that this man had phoenix eyes, thick eyebrows, thick lips, a height of more than 8 feet, and broad arms. If it weren't for the gorgeous clothes, Cao Cao would not dare to guess this man's identity.
Cao Cao inserted his sword back, cupped his hands and said, "Who are you, sir?"
This man didn't panic, walked up and said quietly: "Your Excellency, is Cao Cao, Cao Mengde?"
Cao Cao's eyebrows twitched and he had murderous intentions, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "I don't know who Cao Mengde is!"
"Haha..." The man laughed and stepped back without explaining.
"Let's go!" As the man left, there was a ruthless look in his eyes.
Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, then pulled out half of his sword and sent it back.
"That's right!" The man in rich clothes turned around and said to Cao Cao, "It is said that the old thief Dong Zhuo posted posters all over the city, looking for Cao Cao, saying that Cao Cao wanted to murder the emperor... I concluded that Cao Cao must leave during this trip.
On this way, brother, you can wait here. If you see Cao Cao, you can capture him, and then go to Luoyang to report. There will be a heavy reward, haha..." After the man finished speaking, he led the others through
In the rain curtain.
Cao Cao was stunned and watched these people gradually go away.
"Damn it, if I had known earlier I should have listened to that monster and prepared an escape route in advance!"
Prime Minister's Mansion: Side Hall.
"Sneeze" Ma Xiaoquan sneezed and hit Dong Zhuo's face with spittle.
Dong Zhuo was not angry either. He wiped the spit from his face and said with a smile: "Master Shangxian, are you feeling ill?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said with a smile: "No problem, how can I get sick? But for some reason, I feel like someone is scolding me?"
Dong Zhuo's face turned dark and he said angrily: "Who dares to be so disrespectful to Master Shangxian?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Dong. I heard Li Ru say before that Cao Cao ran away, right?"
Dong Zhuofeng changed his mind and said with a smile: "Exactly, exactly!"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded in agreement, and pretended to say: "I have already figured this out, and Li Ru has also told you, right?"
"Yes, Li Ru said it!"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows and said: "I also heard that you are chasing after Cao Cao with your posters all over the city?"
Dong Zhuo was shocked and said quickly: "Master Shangxian has a wonderful plan!"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed inwardly: "Fuck you, you ordered your subordinates to post the list all over the city, but you have forgotten it. I really admire you."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "I told you a long time ago that I asked you to win over Cao Cao, but you didn't listen. You only know how to promote people, but don't know how to increase their salary. Tell me, if you increase your salary, can Cao Cao run away?"
Ma Xiaoquan guessed this, but he didn't expect that he hit the mark. Dong Zhuo blushed and said: "This...this...this..."
"Okay, I won't say anything about you anymore. Xiaodong, when employing people, you must know how to use kindness and power at the same time. As for you, you only know how to make money, but don't know how to dissipate it. Look at Luoyang, you have made it crazy.
In what manner?"
Dong Zhuo repeatedly admitted his mistakes and kept company with him.
Ma Xiaoquan knew that Dong Zhuo was perfunctory, but there was nothing he could do about it. Dong Zhuo could still live for more than a year, so he had to be patient. He was about to die anyway, so don't care about him.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "I think it's okay with Cao Cao. The rankings have been released. If you can catch him, just catch him. If you can't catch him, forget it. As for Cao Cao, I've done the math and he's not your opponent."
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Sir, the Immortal has already settled the matter?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
Dong Zhuo hesitated for a moment and asked: "Then Master Shangxian, if Cao Cao is not my opponent, who else will be my opponent?"
Ma Xiaoquan lied to Dong Zhuo: "There is no one in the world who can rival the Xiliang cavalry!"
Dong Zhuole was so upset that he quickly sent servants to entertain Ma Xiaoquan with good wine and food.
Ma Xiaoquan declined: "Xiao Dong, I'll forget about eating and drinking. I still have to help you select the medicinal materials for the elixir of immortality. By the way, that...you are still practicing the elixir of immortality.
without?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo lowered his head and hummed like a shy little girl.
Ma Xiaoquan became interested: "Come, dance a dance for me."
Dong Zhuo did not dare to disobey Ma Xiaoquan, so he had to stand up, stretch his waist and legs to prepare.
Li Ruyi heard that he was going to perform the Immortality Dance. Just as he was about to run away, Dong Zhuo grabbed him.
"Hey!" Li Ru followed Dong Zhuo and made preparations with a look of reluctance.
"Lord Immortal, Li Ru has specially improved some of the movements of the Immortality Art based on my body type... Sir, please take a look... Li Ru, get ready to start...
"
"Three circles to the left, three circles to the right, twist your neck, twist your butt, go to bed early and get up early, let's do some exercise..."
Ma Xiaoquan originally thought that Dong Zhuo would not be able to persist, but he was wrong. Dong Zhuo not only persisted, but also invited Li Ru to dance together. This man was fat, thin, tall, and short. They danced with clear rhythm and powerful steps.
It's so joyful to say.
Ma Xiaoquan grinned, trying not to laugh, and for a moment, tears actually came out.
"Eh?" Dong Zhuo saw Ma Xiaoquan crying, stopped quickly, stepped forward and asked with concern, "Master Shangxian, what are you doing?"
Ma Xiaoquan wiped his tears and said: "Xiao Dong, I am so moved by you. There has never been a person as persistent as you, Xiao Dong. You let me see hope, the future, and our great man."
There will be a prosperous spring..."
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was moved and cried: "It was Master Shangxian who taught me this, Master Shangxian, Master Shangxian..."
Li Ru, who was beside him, also pretended to cry.
Ma Xiaoquan said with relief: "Xiao Dong, you and Li Ru are such good friends! Do you know? There is a saying in our fairy world."
Dong Zhuo stopped crying and looked at Ma Xiaoquan earnestly.
Ma Xiaoquan said solemnly: "Xiao Dong, you must remember your good friends for the rest of your life! You and Li Ru are good friends!"
"Good gay friend, for a lifetime...Good gay friend, for a lifetime...Master Immortal, I will remember it."
Li Ru beside him also repeatedly said he remembered it.
Ma Xiaoquan was about to get sick from being suppressed, so he quickly stood up and said: "Okay, I won't stay here any longer. I will go find medicinal materials for Xiao Dong."
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru stood up and sent Ma Xiaoquan off respectfully.
...
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion and turning several corners, Ma Xiaoquan finally couldn't bear it anymore and looked up to the sky laughing wildly.
Back at Situ's Mansion, Ma Xiaoquan was still laughing so hard that everyone in the manor was baffled.
Wang Yun stepped forward and asked: "Master Shangxian, why is this so ridiculous?"
With tears in his eyes, Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Wang Yun, just wait, something big will happen within a month."
"Scared?" Wang Yun's eyelids twitched fiercely, and he said quickly, "May I ask Lord Shangxian, why?"
Ma Xiaoquan pretended to say: "My magic power is limited and very vague. However, one thing is certain. Wang Yun, during this period of time, you have to live in seclusion and keep a low profile. Can you do it?"
Wang Yun is a cunning old man who can make things happen at a glance, so he quickly said: "The common people understand, the common people understand."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and said, "Go and call Diao Chan out and give me a dance."
Wang Yun looked bitter: "Here we go again!"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows: "Go, don't you want to live forever?"
"Think about it! I'll go right away!" Wang Yun said, running out in a hurry.
