Hold Your Hand·Xuantian Chaotic Times

Ling Hao was indeed in Ma Chao's mansion at this time, and he had to deal with a lot of paperwork and official documents that needed to be handed over just after breakfast. In addition, Ling Hao had to go back to inform Liu Bei in person, the matter at hand was serious. Part of it was handed over to Ma Chao. "Aren't you busy with too many things like this? Otherwise, wait for me to come back." Ling Hao apologized slightly, but Ma Chao signaled that it was okay, "The military affairs in Xiliang are no less than those of the imperial court. You can go at ease."That's right, I think back when I was a pro-guard, I often watched Ma Chao busy all day, and sometimes I didn't even have time to eat. "We still have to pay attention to rest. This time it won't be long. If it wasn't for the tight time and the urgent urging of the emperor, these things could be reduced by at least half." After finishing speaking, Ling Hao turned and walked from the bookshelf behind Ma Chao. Take out a book from the Internet, which is the distribution of Cao Cao's forces obtained through special channels, Ling Hao flipped through it, and then opened the book stand in front of Ma Chao.

Ma Chao looked at the page that Ling Hao had turned to, "Fortunately, Cao Cao didn't mention Liu Bei's capture of Tiandang Mountain at this time. I don't know if he was angry with what happened today or did it on purpose. I didn’t say anything, in short, for Xia Houyuan who is away, and Sima Yi who is now in the court, you and Fengxian should pay more attention to their movements, I am afraid that something will happen to Liu Bei on his way to the court.”Ma Chao glanced at all of Xia Houyuan's soldiers and horses, "Yeah." After a while, he seemed to think of something again, and turned to look at Ling Hao, "It's hard to guarantee that they won't do anything out of the ordinary. It's dangerous, it's better to replace it."Ma Chao was sitting, and Ling Hao was standing behind Ma Chao. After hearing this, he knew that the other party was worried about Cao Cao's tricks, "I will be careful. Only by going on this trip can I show my sincerity. Besides, unless Cao Cao wants to rebel now, if it happens What, at least there are Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, don't worry." After finishing speaking, Ling Hao smiled, leaned over, put his hand on Ma Chao's shoulder, and then kissed the other side's cheek.I don’t know if it’s a change in mentality, or it just depends on the person. As a man like myself, I don’t know when it started, but I also think that Ma Chao looks good when he smiles. Although he rarely saw Ma Chao smiling in Xiliang before, the first time I saw it was amazing. But it was different back then than it is now.However, this kind of behavior that provokes the fire is definitely not to be done to Lu Bu.

The quiet atmosphere was broken by a knock on the door, Ling Hao stood up straight, and heard the outside say: "Master, Marquis Wu wants to see Lord Ling." Upon hearing this news, the expression on Ling Hao's face suddenly changed, How did Sun Ce know that he was here... Ma Chao didn't respond much, "You go." The matter must be resolved.Ling Hao paused, "Then I'll come back tonight..." In the end, he still seemed uneasy, he couldn't help but look back after taking a step.It can be seen that he is afraid that he will be unhappy. If Ling Hao mentions others in front of him, he will always act a little cautiously. In fact, it would be a lie to say that he doesn't mind, but compared with Sun Ce, how different are the two people. "I'm not angry, go early and return early." Ma Chao added helplessly.

When Ling Hao came out to meet Sun Ce, Sun Ce still had no expression on his face. Ling Hao calmed down and said, "Can we talk in another place?".

The two left the mansion, but he just didn't want to cause trouble between the two of them in the mansion. After seeing Sun Ce who couldn't see through his emotions, Ling Hao had to lead the way by himself.In fact, it is to lead the way, but it is just walking to the street, getting farther and farther away from the general's mansion. "I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. In front of Cao Cao... I can't help myself." "Now, there is no Cao Cao, just you and me. What do you want to say next?" Sun Ce said in the crowd He stopped by himself. "You can't forgive me for what I say, and I can't go back with you." Ling Hao turned around and looked into the other person's eyes, "Is it because of Ma Chao or because of that Lu Bu?" Sun Ce suddenly felt that everything he had experienced before was like It was like a dream, and the current appearance seemed to tell him that all the years of persistence were in vain.Ling Hao paused, "At this point, I don't want to hide—" Suddenly, Ling Hao's eyes froze, and the next second he looked away from Sun Ce's ear. Is it because he was dazzled or something? Why did he feel that Sun Ce was not behind him? There was a familiar figure in the distance... Frowning, he looked over again, but there was still a bustling crowd.

"...I can't leave the court. Meng Qi and Feng Xian are indeed part of it. I have a task that I have to complete, and this task can only be completed in the court." Meng Qi and Feng Xian are really familiar with these names, Sun Ce laughed at himself, raised his foot and continued walking. "Your task is to help the Han Dynasty complete the unification, so you persuaded Liu Bei to return to the Han Dynasty, and then I, Jiangdong, will be included."Ling Hao just took one step at a time, and he never thought that such a thing would happen at the beginning, "I never wanted to take any profit from Jiangdong, although I know that your impression of me may change a lot now, if you If I think so, I have nothing to say." Sun Ce naturally would not think so, he knows what kind of person Ling Hao is, but he will feel guilty all day long for half of the sovereignty of Jingzhou, no matter what kind of person they are now. No matter what the situation, he would never covet Jiangdong.

Obviously this is the fact, but it inexplicably made Sun Ce even more irritated when he said it from Ling Hao's mouth, "Does everything between us not count?", a very abrupt sentence, "It is my fault for putting you under house arrest. , maybe you can't understand my thoughts at that time, but if I do it all over again, I will still choose the same approach, and many times I wonder why I didn't do it earlier.", Ling Hao's face was terrified. He couldn't believe it, he didn't expect Sun Ce to really have killing intent. "But you like Ma Chao, killing him will only make you farther away from me." Sun Ce's eyes dimmed, and his tone dropped. "Once upon a time, I thought you were just lying to me, because you didn't like men at all, so you lied to me that you liked Ma Chao and made me give up, but I really thought so, because soon after you left Jiangdong, there was news that you committed suicide news.", seeming to think of those days again, Sun Ce's tone was flat, as if he just wanted to state things monotonously.

"If it were me, if I liked someone, I would never be willing to lose my life. If you really liked Ma Chao, why would you choose to commit suicide? However, Liu Bei and the others have searched up and down for several months, but there is no trace of you News, I have to believe that you are indeed dead, it was ridiculous to look at Jiang in front of me during that time, and several times I even wanted to jump directly." Ling Hao didn't speak, just quietly Listen, but hearing this, it is undeniable that the bottom of my heart was stabbed by a needle. "But I don't, I can't, I am Marquis Wu, and the entire Jiangdong must be maintained by me." Sun Ce's flat tone made Ling Hao feel more uncomfortable, but he was unable to organize a sentence to say.

The two walked for a long time, until they were far away from the hustle and bustle of the market, Sun Ce stopped, then turned and looked at Ling Hao. "But I never expected that half a year later you would appear in the court together with Ma Chao. At that time, I realized how ridiculous I am. Everything we have experienced together, I almost died because of your suicide. In the end, I got nothing, Zixuan, have you ever thought about how I feel at all." Ling Hao opened his mouth, can he say, he has already hurt the man in front of him, what face does he have to ask for it? Views. "But I still can't betray myself after all, leaving the entire Jiangdong to Zhongmou Gongjin. After all, everything is my own thought. I thought that if I found you, things would be different from what I have always thought. It's a pity. , you have indeed chosen Ma Chao. Lu Bu’s provocative words yesterday were caused by my confusion and misunderstanding. Now that you are in the same power as Lu Bu, it seems that you don’t need me for other things, whether it’s emotions or assistance. .”

Ling Hao held his breath, the matter was irreversible, and it was always good to talk about it, but now he was afraid that the other party would say it. "I'm afraid this will be the last conversation between us... Maybe you won't choose to use me as a newcomer anymore. It's okay, it's true that I like Ma Chao." Sun Ce's expression changed slightly , the focus of Ling Hao's eyes moved slightly, "I didn't like men at first, whether it was God's will to tease me or fate, I can only say that for you, everything before was not a play, I was just a man who fell in love with you at the same time. It’s just different people. The reason why I suspended my death is to not disturb any of you, but things are unpredictable. If it weren’t for Daoist Yu Ji, I might live among the crowd with another identity and another appearance in my life. It's not my intention to reappear as Ling Hao. As for being with Meng Qi now, it's also because I can't bear him anymore. Fengxian... what he said yesterday was not a joke, I really belong to him He is a nice person, and both of them understand these things."

He would never have expected it to be like this, and Sun Ce was stunned for a moment.Next Ling Hao said something, but Sun Ce didn't seem to hear it. The surrounding area was very quiet. It took a long time for Ling Hao's voice to return to his ears, "I never wanted to hurt you, you Ask me if everything before doesn’t count, I just want to say, I’ve always liked—” The voice has never been so clear, especially when the sound of horseshoes is still vaguely mixed in the ears.Wait, hooves?Sun Ce was still in a daze when he saw Ling Hao, who was looking at him, suddenly looked away. There seemed to be a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then he stepped forward and pushed himself aside.

In the next second, a person riding a black horse jumped out from where he was standing just now. Before he could see the person clearly, the black horse quickly disappeared from sight. "Zixuan!", Ling Hao happened to be kicked straight by the horse, and fell to the ground motionless at this moment. Sun Ce was full of nervousness. When he stepped forward, he just lifted Ling Hao up, and his hands felt sticky. , Sun Ce's pupils constricted, and he looked at the shocking blood on the back of Ling Hao's head in disbelief.
