Xuchang.Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but only on the surface.Today's emperor has no real power, and the military and political power is in the hands of Cao Cao. It is almost easy for Cao Cao to gather troops behind his back, but if he wants to get rid of anyone, he only needs to kill first and then play.Regarding Cao Cao's secret deployment, even if the ministers of the DPRK and China had opinions, they did not dare to raise them in person, for fear that their official positions would not be guaranteed tomorrow.

As Xiahouyuan's nephew, Xiahoushang also more or less sensed a strange direction from his uncle, but he was not sure what it was, except for the recent Xiliang prefect going to Beijing, thinking about the interests of Xiliang and Cao Cao, maybe Cao Cao Maybe they are going to get rid of Ma Teng.But these have nothing to do with him for the time being... Looking at Cao Pi who has been drinking, Xia Houshang sighed, "Couldn't you come to me just to ask for a drink? What happened to you?".

Since Cao Pi came early in the morning, he just drank for half a day, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. "What else can I do?" Cao Pi looked a little impatient.Xia Houshang paused, "About the prime minister or your brothers?", "Cao Zijian." Cao Pi spit out a name.Xia Houshang didn't like to say anything when he heard the words. Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had been at odds for a long time, and since Cao Pi took Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law Zhen Mi as his wife, there seemed to be rumors about Cao Zhi and Zhen Mi being bad.For this matter, Xia Houshang has always been able to not ask.

"Forget it, don't mention this matter. Father will take the opportunity of getting rid of Ma Teng to attack Hefei soon. General Xiahou will reconcile with Zhang Liao. At that time, the affairs of Beijing will be handed over to me, and you have to start busy Get up." Xia Houshang responded, but, "Didn't the prime minister just finish the battle of Chibi, and now he is going to attack Soochow, what if Sun Quan and Liu Bei join forces again?".Cao Pi finally stopped drinking, "Father has his own decision on this matter, and I don't want to reveal it too much. You just need to do your own thing well. I will go back to see my father after the inspection. Thank you for the wine in advance. ".After Cao Pi drank the last cup, he got up immediately.Seeing this, Xia Houshang also nodded and sent Cao Pi out.

Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone standing beside the stone lion in front of the mansion. Xia Houshang was standing at the door. He was a young man he didn't know. He was wearing a gray cloth robe, but it made people feel like a fairy.However, in a blink of an eye, the place just now was empty... Could it be that his eyes were dazzled, Xia Houshang frowned, turned and returned to the mansion.

But what Xia Houshang didn't know was that Ling Hao had already arrived in Xuchang at this time. Since he had Xiahoushang's phoenix card, entering the city was easy.The two horses were almost exhausted after not resting, and Ling Hao was naturally not much better.Going into the city with a horse, the streets are full of pedestrians, and I can't think about it sooner.Except for the last time I came to Xuchang to rescue Xu's mother, this is the second time. After such a long time, he can't remember exactly where Xia Houshang lives. "Let's go to the teahouse first and find out where Xia Houshang lives." Ling Hao looked at Li Yuan, and it was rare to see that Li Yuan looked tired. "How about taking a break first?" Ling Hao's tone was apologetic, Li Yuan just shook his head.

The two led their horses to the teahouse, where they rested for a while.Ling Hao recruited Xiaoer to ask about Xia Houshang's mansion. Hearing the list of street and place names, Ling Hao had an inexplicable headache. "We're new here, and we're not very familiar with this place. Could you please speak more slowly?" Xiao Er was the first time seeing such a polite guest, so she naturally repeated it patiently.After thanking him and drinking the tea, Ling Hao read the name of the place Xiao Er had just reported, and it seemed that he had to continue asking for directions.

The two continued to walk for a while, and when they came to the intersection, they happened to see several vendors.While inquiring, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of patrolling soldiers coming up the street. The leader of the group looked quite familiar, so Ling Hao couldn't help but take a few more glances.When the team approached and saw the leader's face clearly, Ling Hao turned his head instantly, pretending to be shopping, and pulled Li Yuan to turn around.Who else could that person be if not Cao Pi?How could it be such a coincidence... Thinking about the last time when a man disguised himself as a woman and the whole city arrested him, if Cao Pi bumped into him, he would definitely be recognized.Ling Hao felt like entering a tiger's den.Without further ado, he had better find Xiahoushang as soon as possible, but then he thought about whether he would bring troubles to Xiahoushang... But now he couldn't think of anyone else who could help except Xiahoushang.

The team disappeared after turning the corner of the street. Ling Hao heaved a sigh of relief and asked the vendor for directions before leaving.

And Xia Houshang never expected that Ling Hao would come to him suddenly. At this time, he was idle in the house and was about to visit his uncle Xia Houyuan. He suddenly heard that someone outside the house wanted to see him, so he couldn't help being curious , "Do you know who it is?", "Return to my lord, the man said that his name is Ling Hao." Xia Houshang was stunned for a moment, Zixuan!Xia Houshang paused for several seconds to react to the feeling that he hadn't seen him for a long time. "Have someone prepare the tea." Xia Houshang left in a hurry after leaving the words.

After finally finding Xiahoushang's residence, he waited outside the mansion for a while, and when he heard footsteps, he thought the guards had returned, but unexpectedly, Xiahoushang came out in person. "Zixuan!", Xia Houshang was a little surprised, "Why are you here? You didn't notify me in advance.", "Boren." Seeing Xia Houshang's appearance of seeing an old friend, Ling Hao couldn't help feeling a little guilty. "How was the last battle? Did you get hurt?" Xia Houshang shook his head, "I'm fine, but you hurt yourself. How are you doing?" There is another person, who seems to be Ling Hao's guard... "Go in, I'll have someone prepare tea.".

After several people entered the mansion, Xia Houshang asked about Ling Hao's recent situation, and seeing Ling Hao looked a bit sad, "Is there anything I can help you with?" Sure enough, seeing Ling Hao looked a little surprised. "Bo Ren, I really want to ask you for something this time... I have to trouble you every time. To be honest, I am also embarrassed."Xia Houshang laughed when he heard the words, "If you still consider me a friend, don't say that. After all, it is not easy for us to meet once. If you have something to say, I will try my best." Ling Hao was touched by Xia Houshang's words quite deep.

"Okay, then I'll tell the truth, I want you to help me find out about Ma Teng.", Ma Teng?Xia Houshang was taken aback, as far as he knew, Ma Teng seemed to have nothing to do with Ling Hao, "Why do you want to inquire about Ma Teng?" Ling Hao was momentarily at a loss for words, seeing Ling Hao's embarrassment, Xia Houshang did not continue to ask.I want to inquire about Ma Teng because I want to save his life, but in this way, Xiliang is still Cao Cao's confidant, Xiahoushang is Xiahouyuan's nephew, Xiahouyuan is Cao Cao's general, and Xiahoushang's help means nothing. Let him betray Cao Cao's forces... It would be too selfish to do so.Ling Haosi couldn't tell the reason at this moment.

"The news about Ma Teng is a bit tricky. It seems that the prime minister attaches great importance to it. Currently, only Mrs. Cao knows about him. Zihuan also mentioned it today, but I will continue to ask him and stop talking about it.", "In other words, only Few people know?" Sure enough, Cao Cao blocked the news, and Ma Teng is probably in danger... "If you want to know, I can try to ask Zihuan again, maybe Zijian knows too.", Xia Houshang agreed indirectly.Ling Hao instantly felt sorry for Xia Houshang, "I'm sorry, please tell me if you need me." Xia Houshang was helpless with Ling Hao's abruptly respectful tone. "Since you say so, then have a good conversation with me."

Li Yuan on the side looked at Xia Houshang silently, feeling inexplicably unhappy. Although the way the two of them got along was considered normal now, he always felt a feeling of inexplicability.
