After a night, the sun rises as usual.
But on this day, Xiangyang was slightly different.
Ma Chao learned about the disappearance of five shadows last night and ordered the shadows to investigate with all their strength.
As for Zhang Song, the call was still made as usual.
But the strange thing is that Zhang Song was bedridden that day due to acclimatization.
Ma Chao sneered after hearing the news, but did not visit him in person.
He has to wait for two very important people to come to Xiangyang today.
Although this welcome ceremony is extremely shabby compared to Zhang Song's, those who are interested can find that although Ma Chao acted secretly this time, he completely brought his confidants with him. .
Even Diao Chan accompanied Ma Chao out of the city to greet him.
Soon a troop came out of the distant morning light.
They maintained a strict phalanx, and their armor was of fine quality, reflecting sunlight when they approached the city.
It looked like a mobile fortress shining with heat and fighting spirit.
When Ma Chao saw them, a smile appeared on his lips.
It was a very natural and heartfelt smile.
It was obvious that the person who came was the one he had been looking forward to for a long time.
The team stopped when they reached the city gate.
Following the calls of several officers, they quickly divided into several teams, each heading in a direction.
Soon, with the city gate as the center, they spread out into a semi-encircling protective circle, and even He thoughtfully left a very comfortable passage for Ma Chao and the others.
A luxurious and exquisite carriage slowly drove into the protective circle and drove until it was in front of Ma Chao and the others before stopping.
The car curtain was opened from the inside by a slender hand, first revealing a large forehead, and then sticking out a person's head.
His eyes were clearer than the morning sun above his head, and his skin was as white and crystal clear as jade, as if it were carved from jade and made of frost and snow.
"I'm going to take the trouble of my lord to personally greet you.
I'm afraid I won't do it."
Guo Jia said calmly, while putting a pill into his mouth and taking another sip of water.
Ma Chao frowned.
He was not worried about the pills Guo Jia had taken.
With Hua Tuo here, Guo Jia's health pills no longer contain toxins.
They only serve to warm and replenish the physical damage caused by his earlier consumption of Wushi Powder.
The reason why he frowned was because the person who opened the curtain should not be Guo Jia "That's a nice thought.
It's not you I'm waiting for."
Ma Chao stepped forward.
Although he said so, he still gave Guo Jia a hand.
"Sure enough, I don't have as much dignity as that old poisoner."
Guo Jia waved his hand and stepped aside to indicate that there was another person in the car.
Ma Chao looked inside and his smile became even brighter because there was another person sitting next to Guo Jia.
This man was old and sick, like an old tree that was about to wither.
Jia Xu took a deep look at Ma Chao and felt a little relieved, but then complained: "I don't have much time left.
I never thought that it would be great for my lord to find this retirement home for me."
After saying this, he coughed hard.
Twice.
Ma Chao wanted to laugh a little, so he replied: "Good people don't live long, and the disaster will last for ten thousand years.
Jia Hu, you are the biggest disaster in the world.
I'm afraid ten thousand years won't be enough for you to survive."
"Go, go, go."
Jia Xu smiled rarely and pushed away Ma Chao's hand that stretched out to support him.

Diao Chan on the side covered her mouth and sneered, but she replaced Ma Chao and helped Jia Xu down with her own hands.
"My lord, this land of fish and rice in Xiangyang, a blessed land, is prosperous and full of waste."
Guo Jia smacked his lips, looked around, and then finished his words: "Such a peaceful and calm place, lord Qing Qing All the talents in the world are overqualified, so why do you still need to bother me and the other two here?"
"Under this calm situation, there are turbulent undercurrents.
Without you two's sharp eyes, I really can't see through the overall situation of this world."
Ma Chao seemed to feel something, but he didn't want to let the atmosphere become heavy at the city gate, and then turned around and asked : "Besides, I didn't invite you here."
"Ahem, I brought him here."
Jia Xu spoke, and took two steps slowly.
He agreed with Ma Chao's opinion: "Jingzhou is a place that the princes on the dead side can only hope for.
Although the lord is sitting still, It’s not completely under control, and with His Majesty’s imperial concubine present, it has become the focus of the world.
I heard that Yizhou has even come to visit, which makes it even more lively.”
Seeing that Jia Xu still missed the Ma family, Ma Chao couldn't help but be moved.
He looked back at Guo Jia, who had already begun to think, and didn't know what to say.
At that moment, he put the two people in the chariot and told them one by one what happened in Xiangyang recently.
After the chariot arrived at Ma Chao's residence, Ma Chao had almost finished talking about what happened between him and Da Qiao.
After entering the hall, Ma Chao sat on the throne and said again: "The shadows killed five people last night, and today Zhang Song disappeared again.
I was worried about Jingzhou, so I called you two here.
This time there is no reason."
I have a clue, I’m asking you two for answers.”
After hearing this, Guo Jia lamented a little and said jokingly: "My lord, we are born half and half of yin and yang.
If you look down on women too much, you will suffer a big loss."
Ma Chao blushed rarely, raised his tea cup and took a sip to hide his embarrassment.
He admitted that he had been a little careless in the matter of Da Qiao.
At least the letter from Aunt Liu of Chang'an was full of scoldings, saying that the bride could be changed, but she could not not marry.
The Ma family could not lose such face, which made Ma Chao very angry.
Embarrassing.
However, he didn't expect that Guo Jia was so Meng Lang that he would directly make fun of himself in front of Diao Chan.
But Jia Xu's face became serious.
After looking up at Ma Chao, he slowly said: "My lord, don't think that Feng Xiao is joking.
As you said, Da Qiao had an engagement with Jiangdong Sun Ce.
And Sun Ce has never forgotten it."
"That's true."
Ma Chao nodded, looking at Jia Xu's serious look, he also had some doubts in his heart.
"As you said, this big Qiao has been among the elites in Jiangdong for several years.
He must have some channels to send messages to Sun Ce."
Jia Xu asked again.
Ma Chao glanced at Diao Chan.
Because these matters involved his heartache, he never asked more questions.
Diao Chan was the most knowledgeable person and said, "Although I don't know her channels, I can be sure that she can deliver the news to Sun Ce effortlessly."
"That's it."
Guo Jia also became serious at this time: "My lord, I'm afraid you're going to cause a big mess.
If you think about the current situation, the Ma family is leading the trend, and only the Cao family and the Sun family are left.
These two families can be enemies.
If there is one person who uses love to connect these two families, then my lord knows what will happen next."
Ma Chao's expression changed greatly.

Under the overlooking of Jia Xu and Guo Jia who jumped out of the game, he suddenly remembered one person and one thing: that person, there were two very important women around him, one was in contact with the Cao family, and the other was in contact with the Cao family.
With Sun Ce.
And he suddenly fell ill while he was away, tightly tying the woman's heart that was connected to Sun Ce to him.
From this point of view, his illness was not as simple as imagining that he just wanted to win against himself on another battlefield.
Thinking of Liu Xie's desperate look when he collapsed in the Xiangyang County Sheriff's Mansion that day, he suddenly understood Liu Xie's intention: before, he still regarded himself as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, just because he wanted to defeat himself when the situation changed; But now, all his pride has been trampled under his feet, and he wants to do everything he can to gamble with the whole troubled world, use the world of love as a bargaining chip, and use everything to destroy himself.
That guy is really a ruthless character who lives in his own feelings.
Thinking of this, Ma Chao felt that his back was soaked.
He was really glad that he found Jia Xu and Guo Jia.
Otherwise, with so much fog covering his eyes, he might still be wrong in entangled with Zhang Song.
Since Liu Xie has secretly linked up with the Cao family and the Sun family, is it possible that he will let go of the Feng Shui treasure land in Yizhou?
And since he wants to be the one who pulls the strings and gathers all the remaining forces in the world to fight against the Ma family, then who will he choose as his agent in Yizhou?
Ma Chao closed his eyes.
He didn't need Mu Yang to deliver the message, and he guessed who was in the wine shop last night.
However, he still doesn't know how Liu Bei set up a line with Liu Xie, and how he sent troops to Yizhou.
At this time, there was a noise outside the door.
Diao Chan recognized that it was Shadow's unique code, got up and opened the door, took a three-inch note from a man dressed as a servant, and handed it directly to Ma Chao.
After Ma Chao saw it, his expression was very solemn: "It seems that that person wants to spread out a piece of land in the southwest corner of the Han Dynasty territory before the Ma family is restored."
After that, Ma Chao told Mu Yang several times.
The note came and was handed to Jia Xu and Guo Jia.
It listed the list of people who left the restaurant last night.
"Unexpectedly, our Majesty is really uneasy for a moment."
Guo Jia smiled, and then blurted out a joke: "Lord, were you and His Majesty enemies in your previous life?
Why did he never let you go?"
Ma Chao smiled bitterly and replied with some emotion: "You are really right":
