Hold Your Hand·Xuantian Chaotic Times

He fell into a coma all night and didn't wake up until the next day. When he asked Yu Ji, he found out that Lu Bu had been given medicine. As for why—"Xia Houshang is Zixuan's friend." Lu Bu spit out.Ma Chao frowned when he heard the words. It stands to reason that he and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs have the most convenient relationship. When he went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice early in the morning, he heard that Xia Houshang made everything clear, including how to use his relationship to frame Ling Hao. Xuan’s friend, why did this happen? At the beginning, I didn’t pursue the remaining parties for Zixuan’s sake, but now I have given him such a big loophole.”

"Then why did he choose to turn himself in again? If he really wanted to avenge Cao Cao, he could take this opportunity to get rid of us easily." Zhao Yun only had a vague impression of Xia Houshang, and he still remembered when Ling Hao was under Liu Bei's command. He deliberately let Xia Houshang go many times, but he didn't expect that person to treat Ling Hao like this now. "The crime of regicide is not a joke. The Ministry of Criminal Justice filed the case overnight. The pills on Xia Houshang's body were the same as the pills that blamed Zixuan. In addition, as Cao Cao's remnant party, I shouldn't have followed Zixuan's wishes and kept it. He's coming down." Sun Ce threw the dossier onto the table in front of him.Zhuge Liang hadn't been out of Ling Mansion since last night. During the court meeting early in the morning, as the prime minister, and the suspicion was completely cleared away, the emperor wanted to express his apology, but Zhuge Liang didn't even read the imperial decree from the palace. On the second day, he even gave a cold face to the invited carriage. He didn't want to say anything more about Han Xiandi's way of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, or he thought it was ridiculous from the bottom of his heart.Rather than working under the emperor, it is better to return to Liu Bei's command, provided that Ling Hao is willing to go back with him.

I took the dossier and browsed it roughly. At the beginning, several people discussed the matter of Cao Cao. At that time, Lu Bu strongly opposed Ling Hao to leave Xia Houshang and the others, but today he seems to be speaking for Xia Houshang. Zhuge Liang put down the dossier in his hand, " Do you know something."As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several people immediately looked at Lu Bu. "I think you all know that I have been with Zixuan for seven or eight years. He has contact with people on weekdays, and most of the people he contacts have similar temperaments. As for why he didn't want to keep Xiahoushang before, the reason is very simple. He What Zixuan holds is the love between a man and a woman, but Zixuan regards him as a good friend." It can be said that no one knows about this matter except Lu Bu, and hearing Lu Bu say this today, everyone else is shocked.Lu Bu glanced at Ma Chao, followed by Zhao Yun, and finally Sun Ce, "Aren't you all like this? Zixuan regards you as close friends, and you have a different affection for him, which is why you are sitting here together now. Now the status quo is a foregone conclusion." , plus I am willing to compromise, so I don't have much to complain about, but I am not a saint, and I cannot tolerate other people, so it is best to get rid of Xia Houshang as soon as possible."

"But?" Zhuge Liang signaled Lu Bu to continue, "But there are some facts that I cannot deny." Lu Bu stared at Ma Chao with eagle eyes, "Zixuan was not kidnapped at the beginning, but saved Xia Houshang's life and asked Xia Houshang to help That's why I was able to leave Xiliang and go to Liu Bei's command." Seeing that Ma Chao was really startled, Lu Bu looked at Zhuge Liang again, "The rescue of Xu's mother was also helped by Xiahou Shang." Zhuge Liang frowned, "So what? ".Lu Bu continued, "Later in Chibi, Zixuan let Xia Houshang go on purpose. You two must have known about it. Of course, it doesn't make sense to just talk about it. I just want to say that when Ma Teng died and Xiliang fell At that time, Xia Houshang was the same person who helped Zixuan inquire about the news. Since then, he has fought with Cao Cao many times, and this person has also secretly seen a lot of Cao Cao's whereabouts. If Cao Cao or others find out, Xia Houshang will not escape death. Do you understand what it means?"

"You mean...Xia Houshang didn't frame Zixuan at all?" I thought it was my carelessness that caused Ling Hao to leave his side, but I didn't expect Ling Hao to leave Xiliang on his own initiative. Due to the status quo, Ma Chao can't reveal much. "No, it is indeed Xiahou Shang who blamed Zixuan for the crime of killing the king, but if he does not do so, he will not be able to kill Sima Yi. Sima Yi is the one who really wants to kill Zixuan.", Lu Bu just nodded, but Zhuge Liang suddenly understood something, "So he is not harming Zixuan but saving him.", "That's right.".

The hall suddenly became quieter, and Sun Ce thought for a long time before he spoke, "Xiahoushang voluntarily surrendered, firstly to clear the suspicion of the three of you, and secondly...to get rid of it?", "That's why Yu Ji let Zixuan sleep until Xiahou After Shang is executed, he can't bear it." This can also explain why Lu Bu wants to speak for Xia Houshang, knowing the things behind the incident, and originally hated the murderer who framed him, but now he only feels heavy.Xia Houshang, as Cao Cao’s power, Xiahou’s family, how much pressure and how much conscience and responsibility have to be overcome to achieve such a level, like a person, and die for him after eradicating the last hidden danger, if this is not love ... Rao men like them, at this time, it is really hard to say that they are against Xia Houshang.

"Let him sleep well... When this matter is over, if he is willing to stay in the court, I will accompany him. If not, I don't care about this official position." Zhao Yun sighed. I would rather Ling Hao leave the court, even if he doesn't return to Liu Bei, it doesn't matter. Like Han Zimo, it's not bad to leave the court and be a businessman. After all, the more involved, the more worries, the more dangers.

As soon as the misunderstanding was resolved, it was Liu Xie's turn to fall into a stalemate. Zhuge Liang didn't even reply when he sent someone to invite him. I won't go, and I will stay in Ling's mansion all day, no matter how much I persuade any general, I won't return.Like Zhuge Liang, his official position is just a dispensable name for him. He has money, power, and just a name is enough. As for power, regardless of military and political affairs, other fields are not a problem.This move is to tell Liu Xie that he does not care about names and official positions.However, unlike several others, Sun Ce went to the palace more often.I thought those people would care more about Huang Wei, but they didn't even give them any face. Why did Liu Xie delay this matter for so long?Don't talk about killing the king, even if it involves a little threat to the court, no matter who you are, whether you are innocent or guilty, of course killing is the most effective for safety. He suppressed this matter and did not execute Ling Hao immediately It was considered personal, after all, he didn't believe that Ling Hao would do such a thing, let alone Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu.

But things have already happened, and it is unreasonable to do nothing. Have you ever seen an emperor who just put people suspected of regicide under house arrest?But helplessly, none of the parties could be seen by themselves, which annoyed Lu Bu, the current main force of the imperial court; Zhuge Liang, the only candidate suitable to succeed the prime minister; plus Ling Hao, an important figure who maintains the balance of power among all parties...

The only person I could see and who had a good relationship with Ling Hao was probably Sun Ce. Liu Bei had already returned to his fiefdom. For some reason, Sun Ce stayed in the capital and had no intention of returning to Jiangdong.Seeing that Ma Chao and Lu Bu had left, Zhao Yun didn't know where he went. This time Sun Ce went to the palace to ask for instructions, which was exactly what Han Xiandi meant.Just after talking about the subsidy allocated by the imperial court to local banks, Sun Ce was about to resign when he was stopped by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, "it's not too late to leave after chatting for a while.".Guessing what the other party wanted to ask, Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and had to sit down again, "Is it Prime Minister Zhuge that the emperor wants to ask about Deputy Prime Minister Ling?". "Zhuge Liang, I know that I sent someone to ask for it early in the morning, but I didn't see any response. I wanted to ask how Zixuan is doing." If I had known this before, why bother, "He is still cultivating in the mansion, and he suffered a lot in the Ministry of punishment a few days ago. Minor crime, Prime Minister Zhuge, as a master, is right to be worried about his apprentice, and he is probably still in the Ling residence."Liu Xie frowned immediately when he heard this, "I mishandled this matter, and I will definitely make up for it when I have time, but... is it possible that Lu Bu is also in the Ling residence now?".It's just that he stayed in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a few days, and he didn't let the people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice receive too severe punishment. For Ling Hao, it can only be regarded as a superficial trauma. Qi Qi's "strike" is a bit unreasonable.

"Zixuan has some problems with his body. Hua Tuo prescribed the medicine and now he has to rest for a few days, so he didn't have time to inform the emperor. As for the others—I think the emperor must not know the relationship between them." Sun Ce said slowly , glanced at Liu Xie who was sitting on the dragon chair in the hall, and said: "During the period when Lu Bu was incognito, he had been serving as Zixuan's bodyguard for seven years; Naturally, it is not much lower; Zhao Yun is the same, under Liu Bei's command, the two have always been close friends who talk about everything; as for Ma Chao, Zixuan was the first to serve in Xiliang, so he is naturally Ma Chao's subordinate. And the relationship between Liu Bei and Jiang Dong, presumably The emperor also knows, so the relationship between the minister and Zixuan is also good." It can be said that one sentence sums up the intricate relationship between several people, and this is the first time that Liu Xie has thoroughly understood one thing, that is, The most important thing is to stabilize Lu Bu and Ma Chao, and let Ling Hao be peaceful and undivided. Only at this time did he realize how much role Ling Hao played in this process. In a word, ensuring Ling Hao is equal to stability After everything, it seems that it is inevitable to come and see and say something good.

And Ling Hao has been in a deep sleep due to the medicine, and this kind of thing happened. Although there is no hidden danger to worry about, the few men still have to take turns guarding according to the rules.Even though he was in a deep sleep, Ling Hao still slept restlessly. He stretched out his hand to smooth the gap between his brows. Ma Chao sighed. The next day, the day after tomorrow is Xia Houshang’s deadline. In my heart, I still don't want Ling Hao to have any relationship with Xia Houshang, even if Xia Houshang saved Ling Hao, he would die because of this incident. "Three days... nothing will happen in three days, so forgive me for not letting you wake up. Since Xia Houshang voluntarily asked for relief, it would be more cruel to let you watch the other party accept the death penalty." After a long silence, this Only then did he extinguish the candle, and took Ling Hao into his arms.Until the middle of the night, I vaguely felt a chill in front of my clothes, and opened my eyes to darkness, Ling Hao was still lying in his arms well.Reaching out his hand to touch the skirt of his shirt, it was wet. Ma Chao was taken aback, and stroked Ling Hao's face again, only to find that there was a wet and cool touch under his hand, and the person who should have been unconscious and unconscious had shed tears again...

This situation became more and more serious, and on the third day it turned into a persistent high fever.Hua Tuo shook his head and said that the medicine was useless, and that this kind of situation could only show that this person was trying to wake up, and the backlash would only occur if he couldn't suppress the sleeping pills.Today is the last day, there is no guarantee that Ling Hao will not do anything outrageous when he wakes up tomorrow... Lu Bu has not spoken, but his eyes are complicated, he is hesitating, whether he should do something or not.

On the other hand, on the side of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Xia Houshang did not receive any punishment, because the maximum death penalty has already been handed down, and these three days are equivalent to his last comfortable days in this world.He regretted meeting Ling Hao, regretted that he had attached his heart to him when they met, and regretted why he didn't give up when he knew Ling Hao was a man, but he didn't regret everything he did today.Cao Cao, as the chancellor of the Han Dynasty, has a different heart. Uncle knows this and still helps the tyrant, let Ling Hao take office, consolidate the precarious Han Dynasty, and get rid of different surnames. This is what the emperor and the people want...even if he has become a traitor. , so, after he died, he would make atonement to his uncle. If there was anything to be reluctant about, he would still be that man.It's contradictory to say, obviously I regret getting to know Ling Hao, but now I still think about him, after all - after death, it is impossible to meet again.

His sight lost focus, he just stared blankly at the front, trying to review his short life for the last time, until a wisp of white smoke lingered, the gatekeeper fell to the ground in twos and threes, and Xia Houshang was stunned. After realizing what happened, the prison door opened, and a man in black kicked the jailer on the ground, then took out the key and opened the iron door, stepped forward and grabbed him, and walked out. "Who are you—what are you going to do!", this is the prison of the imperial court, is it that people can enter and exit as they want?Why is this person like no man's land. "Shut up." The man in black sounded extremely impatient.However, Xia Houshang still recognized the man's voice immediately, and while being surprised in his heart, he still tried his best to break free from the man, "What are you doing here?".Lu Bu tore off the black cloth on his face, and looked at Xia Houshang coldly, "If you want to die, stay here, and if you don't want to die, just follow me obediently.".Xia Houshang saw that the man who should be by Ling Hao's side at this time, who most likely wanted to die, appeared in the prison, and he still had the purpose of saving him...Glanced around, several cells, except for the jailer, even in the prison. All the prisoners passed out, how did Lu Bu get in here...

"You go, I don't need you to save me." Xia Houshang frowned, glanced at Lu Bu and turned around.Lu Bu's fire was immediately picked up, and he stepped forward and grabbed Xia Houshang's collar, "Don't worry, I won't stop you if you want to die, but don't die here!" He stunned Xia Houshang in front of him, and then reluctantly carried him all the way to the execution room leading to the secret passage, kicked away the prisoner who was blocking the mechanism, stepped on the green brick, and with a bang, a dark hole appeared in front of.

His entire body was broken, Xia Houshang found himself lying on the ground when he woke up, and Lu Bu sat on a stone platform not far away in night clothes.Stone platform?Where is this place——Xia Houshang looked around and saw that there were stone walls all over the ground, with moss all over the ground, and a few dark stone roads under the stage leading to nowhere. The whole place, except for the dim light of an oil lamp, had no daylight at all. "I thought you would be happy to see my death penalty come true." Xia Houshang looked quietly at the man in black.

"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to owe you anything, and I don't want Zixuan to live in guilt for the rest of his life." Lu Bu got up, walked in front of Xia Houshang, and threw a burden in front of him, "Finally, if you have anything to say, I'll let you know." I have to make it clear to you that it's not that Zixuan doesn't think about love, it's that I gave him medicine, and he couldn't wake up in less than three days."Xia Houshang was silent, and opened his mouth for a long time, "I can't live, only death is the relief.", "I don't ask how you want to die, where you want to die, but, as a man, I can't deny you I can't deny Zixuan's affection for you... This is the first time I've seen him like this, and I'm not sure what he will do when he wakes up, so even if you and I are enemies, Let me also advise you, easily seeking relief with death can only show that you dare not face it. As for what you dare not face, it is nothing more than Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan, but have you ever thought about it? Can it exist?".

"..." Xia Houshang gritted his teeth and did not reply, "Although I don't want to say it for what you have done, a thank you is due. If you insist on dying, I can't stop it and I don't want to stop it, but if you think clearly and are willing to live Come down, just mention anything you need." Lu Bu picked up the oil lamp and moved to the side of the tunnel, "This is the secret passage under the prison, the second passage from the left leads to the outskirts of the city, leave at Xushi, there will be a carriage waiting outside you.".Xia Houshang stood up, with neither joy nor sadness on his face. Lu Bu would come to save him only for Ling Hao. He took a deep breath and met Lu Bu's gaze again, "Do you love Zixuan?".Lu Bu didn't pause at all, "Love, love, for him I can die for him like you, but I never dare to lose my life easily, because he will be sad... He doesn't want you to die, so I save you, even if He opened his mouth and wanted to keep you, but I wouldn't say anything."

To be able to reach this point - Xia Houshang smiled wryly, "Leave me? Can you tolerate other men being with the one you like?" Who knows that Lu Bu laughed when he heard the words, "Tolerance... the first man he fell in love with It's Ma Chao, and the second man who agreed is Sun Ce, but what can I do? I can't bear it, it's like pushing him into someone else's arms for nothing.".Xia Houshang was completely stunned, unable to form a sentence for a long time, he thought Ling Hao had been with Lu Bu all this time, and today he heard Lu Bu say it himself... What is the situation? Could it be that Ling Hao and Ma Chao were ambiguous before? thing is true?Lu Bu was indeed tolerant, from the very beginning when he knew he was in love with Ling Hao, to what Yu Ji said, he endured it for seven years.

But it is meaningless to think about these things now. Xia Houshang picked up the burden, with a relieved expression on his face. At least he is relieved now, because Lu Bu loves no less than him. To be honest, when he heard that he could be with Ling When Hao was together, Xia Houshang almost moved his heart for a moment, but unfortunately, his reason and status did not allow him to do this. Without him, Ling Hao could still live well by Lu Bu's side, and without him, his uncle would be nothing left. "No matter what, Zixuan will leave it to you in this life, treat him well.", "You don't need to say it.", "I won't let go so easily in the next life.".

Seeing Xia Houshang stepping down the stage step by step, Lu Bu didn't know whether his words today were of any use, because he couldn't tell whether the other party had let go of his knots. Seeing that Xia Houshang had walked into the dark tunnel, Lu Bu still opened his mouth to call "Are you going to die?" After a long silence, just when Lu Bu thought the other party could no longer hear him, a voice came from the tunnel, "I don't know."The three words echoed in the empty stone room, quite leisurely.Lu Bu was speechless, he had already done what he had to do, the rest was Xia Houshang's own business, life or death had nothing to do with him from now on.

He ran away at noon and disappeared, and didn't see Lu Bu come back until almost evening. "How many times have people from the court come to look for you, where have you been?" Zhao Yun was a little dissatisfied, "I went to the prison.".Prison?Where to go and what to do, "Did you go to see Xia Houshang?", Sun Ce's phoenix eyes flashed some emotions, he came out of the palace today, how many times was entrusted by Han Xiandi, and he had to wait for Ling Haoxiu to recuperate and persuade him To persuade the other party, although he said he was coping with it, Sun Ce didn't care about it in his heart. Liu Xie locked up his people, but he hoped that Ling Hao would put aside this mess of the court.

"I let Xia Houshang go." The tone was flat, and as soon as Lu Bu sat down and picked up the teacup, he heard the sound of tea spraying from the opposite side. "What! You, you, you—" Hua Tuo was surprised, Xia Houshang, that was a capital crime, isn't Lu Bu committing suicide by letting him go? "How could you do such a stupid thing? That man caused Zixuan so much suffering, you didn't kill him but went to save him instead?", "..." Lu Bu was speechless for a while, what did Hua Tuo say. "I asked him to come here today to see Zixuan. Did you release Xia Houshang? Will the Ministry of Criminal Justice release him?" You will find that Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang."

"It's still in Zixuan's room..." Zhao Yun said in a deep voice, "What's the use if you let him go." After all, that person has nothing to live for, and the things on his back will not change because of this incident. How many. "At least you can tell Zixuan that Xia Houshang is not dead...I'll go and see him."Seeing that Lu Bu stayed for a while and then got up and went to the back, Hua Tuo couldn't understand the situation at all. Why did these people seem to not hate that person after hearing this? "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Don't tell anyone about it. The effect of the medicine will wear off tomorrow. Then you can come again."

After a few days, I have been bullied enough to go back to Jiangdong. Hua Tuo is just surprised that Sun Ce has always had a good relationship with Ling Hao. To what extent, Hua Tuo really can't find a suitable one. words to describe.I thought that Da Qiao has always been flat because there are other women I like outside, who knows that after so many years, not only did I not see a woman, but I didn’t have much contact with men other than Ling Hao, "Wu Wang, if you continue like this, You might as well get married with Zixuan."Hua Tuo couldn't help but complain.I thought Sun Ce would be displeased when he heard the words, but this person suddenly felt better after hearing these words. He really doesn't understand what Sun Ce is thinking.
