Hold Your Hand·Xuantian Chaotic Times

Chapter 271 Make Another Plan

The secret was leaked, no matter what, he could not escape death, if he knew who betrayed him, even if he died, he would have to tear that person into pieces first!

After waiting for an hour, Uncle Xiahou finally saw Cao Cao's figure. "Father, what's the matter with you!" Cao Pi looked at Cao Cao's face and was worried at first, but he couldn't help being surprised when the blood stains on the clothes on his left arm came into view.Cao Cao didn't answer, Cao Pi hurriedly called someone to treat the wound, a finger-long knife wound, bloody and bloody, and the blood around it had congealed into scabs, watching the doctor put on the good medicine and tie the gauze, Cao Cao was still gloomy look like. "Zihuan, you go out first.", "Father?", "Get out!", almost suddenly, the voice became irritable, and Cao Pi frowned, and had no choice but to retreat temporarily. "Here, what's going on, how could you be so seriously injured—" Xia Houyuan hadn't finished speaking when he saw Cao Cao drop the wine cup on the table, "What's going on? You still ask me what's going on Ask me what your precious nephew has done!" Cao Cao got up, ignored the injury on his shoulder, walked quickly a few steps, and drew out the long sword on the shelf to swing at Xia Houshang.

Xia Houyuan was taken aback, and quickly pulled Xia Houshang away, "Meng De, what are you doing!".Xia Houshang didn't understand the situation at all, but he just felt that if Cao Cao's sword was really cut off, he might not be alive now. "The confidential letters of the correspondence have been leaked, and now Ma Chao got one of them from somewhere. Think about it, who is getting close to Lu Bu, especially that Ling Hao! Ah? Miaocai, you ask , you ask your damn nephew what he did!".It was completely indiscriminate, Xia Houshang immediately understood where Cao Cao's anger came from, but, the secret letter?Let alone stealing such a confidential thing, he had never even seen it before.

Xia Houyuan also didn't believe it, "How, how is it possible? The secret letter is in Ma Chao's hands! Isn't that—impossible, I have always kept the secret letter in a safe place, and there is absolutely no possibility of it being stolen.".Cao Cao was going crazy with anger, and now the biggest suspect was Xia Houshang and there was no one else. "Are you still favoring him? Let me tell you, if this matter is exposed, no one can escape. You don't know, since your nephew was saved by that Ling Hao, he didn't know what he was forced to do all day long. In a trance. Tell me, besides him, who else is there?"Xia Houyuan didn't know about this, and after listening to Cao Cao's words, "Boren, tell me honestly, what's going on between you and Ling Hao!".Xia Hou still has troubles and can't tell, this matter obviously has nothing to do with him, why Cao Cao insists on himself so much, just because he and Ling Hao know each other well? "Zixuan and I...we are indeed good friends." Xia Houyuan was stunned when he said this. He never thought that Xia Houshang would be friends with the enemy. "But I really don't know what's going on with the secret letter, uncle, you should know that I have never done anything against us."

Knowing that this matter is of great importance, Xia Houyuan stared closely at Xia Houshang's eyes, but Xia Houshang's eyes were unblinking, without any guilt or strangeness at all. How could Xia Houshang do such a thing, there must be something wrong Yes, my nephew can't understand it all too well. "Meng De, calm down, this must be a mistake, I dare to guarantee you with my life that Boren is not such a person.", "How can you prove that you are not him? You let him kill Ling Hao now , I just believe it." Cao Cao held his sword, still looking furious. "It's really not me. Prime Minister, you said such a confidential and important thing. I have never seen it in the house, and I have never seen my uncle take it. Prime Minister, you don't believe that I can do it, but my uncle has followed you for so many years. His character, I will never disclose the confidential letter to anyone."Cao Cao still had no evidence to prove it. After a long while, he threw his sword down and sat down on the chair very slowly, "Just because of a few lines of words, just because of a letter, the hard work I have accumulated over the years, even now I am afraid that even Cao Cao It's hard to protect everyone."

Xia Houyuan returned to the mansion with a gloomy face, and went straight into the study. Xia Houshang silently watched his uncle start to look up and down the bookshelf, and finally stopped on the third shelf. The book cage was carved into a hollow Xia Houyuan took out one of the books, and heard a dull sound under his feet.Xia Houshang was taken aback, and a brick on the ground about three feet away from the bookshelf sank.Xia Houyuan stepped forward with a sullen face, took out the square box inside, looked at it from Xia Houshang's angle, and could see that there were stacks of papers inside.Xia Houyuan read it several times, and sure enough... he couldn't see the secret letter Cao Cao mentioned.How can this be?He obviously never disclosed to Xia Houshang what Cao Cao explained, let alone these secret letters. Xia Houshang didn't even know that there was a hidden compartment in his study, but the facts were already there, and the secret letters were in Ma Chao's hands. Well, what I lost was that secret letter.Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan's face turned pale, and he slowly put it back into the box. Out of the corner of his eye, a flash of white flashed by. Xia Houyuan was taken aback, and reached out to pick up the familiar object in the dark compartment.

Xia Hou still didn't know what Xia Houyuan saw, his expression was already bad, and even his hands began to tremble. "Uncle——" Xia Houyuan's hand had already been raised as soon as he called out. Xia Houshang was almost shocked when he saw the object Xia Houyuan was holding in his hand. Why did Pei appear in the secret compartment where Xia Houyuan stored the secret letter! "How is it possible—" Xia Houshang's eyes were full of surprise, and he took a few steps back unconsciously.Xia Houyuan clenched the jade pendant tightly, as if he wanted to crush the object in his hand, "Boren, why did your jade pendant fall into the dark compartment?" Xia Houyuan's tone contained disbelief and anger. Xiahoushang should be suspected, but Xiahoushang's close-fitting Long Pei appeared in the dark room, how to explain this? "I——I don't know. The dragon pendant was lost somewhere a few days ago. How is this possible..." Xia Houshang stared at the thing in Xia Houyuan's hand, why was his jade pendant in his uncle's secret compartment? inside!

"What else do you have to say, what a crime - I never thought that it would end up in my own hands!" Xia Houyuan was furious, and threw the jade pendant in front of Xia Houshang.Seeing Long Pei shattered in two in front of him, Xia Hou still couldn't tell, "Uncle—" He obviously didn't even know anything about Xia Houyuan and Cao Cao. Moreover, today was the first time he knew about Xia Houyuan's room. Where is the secret place, how could he steal something that his uncle regarded as a treasure? "Shut up! It's an unfortunate family. How could my Xiahou family have such an unworthy descendant like you! Do you know that a secret letter is enough to kill Meng De! Boren, I really misjudged you, come here! ", Xu was too emotional, Xia Houyuan even left the most basic trust aside, did not listen to Xia Houshang's explanation, and immediately summoned his servants to lock Xia Houshang into the house.

What happened to Xia Houshang was his own responsibility. He failed to discover the relationship between Xia Houshang and Ling Hao earlier. If Cao Cao made a mistake, he could only apologize with death.If Xiahou Dun was told about this, I am afraid that Xiahoushang would also die, but after all, Xiahoushang is his nephew, and he has been taking care of him since he was a child.Xia Houyuan struggled repeatedly for a long time, but put Xia Houshang under house arrest in the mansion for the time being, and told his servants not to let Xiahoushang step out of the room.

Overnight, the situation changed, and the cloud that shrouded Cao's sky became thicker and thicker.In the middle of the night, when the lights came on, all the people involved were summoned to Cao Cao's mansion. Even Cao Pi thought that Cao Cao had a new task to assign, but Cao Cao's face was so bad that it couldn't be worse.Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Zhang He and others didn't know why, "What's the matter, Meng Qi, could something be wrong?" Xiahou Dun was the first to ask, Xia Houyuan's heart sank, and he glanced at Cao Cao. What Xia Houshang did is said, the matter is already like this, no matter what you do again, it will be useless. "I called you all here today..." Cao Cao stroked his forehead, his words revealing a trace of fatigue, "Leave Duli tonight, the sooner the better."As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned, obviously not realizing what Cao Cao meant by this sentence. "What happened here?" Cao Ren was puzzled, Cao Pi was also surprised, Sima Yi looked at Xia Houyuan who had been silent all this time, and frowned.

"Military affairs leaked, Ma Chao now holds our secret letter in his hand, today is the deadline, if I don't reply, he will present the secret letter to the emperor tomorrow, and then he will not be able to leave even if he wants to.".This sentence exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderbolt on the ground.Cao Pi turned pale when he heard the words, Cao Cao was so abnormal today, it turned out that such a thing happened! "How is it possible! How did the secret letter get into Ma Chao's hands?" Zhang He was shocked, and almost everyone started to make noise.Cao Cao was already upset, but the anger in Cao Cao's heart was immediately ignited, "Now is not the time to discuss this! If I don't give up my aspect, tomorrow, all of you, including me, will be punished by the nine clans. I only remember now." It is already too late for my negligence, if you choose to stay in the court, Ma Chao will not let you go." "But what are you going to do? Are you going to give away your foundation for so many years?", Xiahou Dun has not recovered from the bad news, how can Cao Cao leave, they have already come to this step-"People If you don’t die, there are plenty of opportunities. There are still my soldiers and horses on the border. Now the soldiers and horses in the court have been emptied by Lu Bu, so don’t worry about it.” Cao Cao is planning to rebel against the court this time, and he still has a lot of soldiers and horses at his disposal , although without the cloak of the imperial court, it is not difficult to form an army.

"Do you want to move all of them to the south?" Sima Yi said, Cao Cao responded, "The south has not yet suppressed the rebellion. With my current troops and horses, I will go to recover the southern land first, and then use it as a base to capture Hanzhong.", also That is to say, the original plan had to be advanced.After all, he was a battle-tested veteran, and Zhang He and the others quickly settled down. "I need someone to stay and pass on the information, Zhong Da, you and Gong Ming stay here first, Ma Chao won't deal with you so soon, once I complete the transfer, you can leave." Sima Yi and Xu Huang immediately came out and bowed their heads.Xiahouyuan sighed silently. At this time, he could no longer trust Xiahoushang, but he could not let Xiahoushang stay in the court alone. One was afraid that Xiahoushang would continue to be entangled with Ling Hao, and the other was that Cao Cao would hate him even more because of this. Cao Cao didn't mention Xia Houshang today... I don't know if it's good or bad.
