Hold Your Hand·Xuantian Chaotic Times

Ling Hao was speechless for a long time. How should he explain it to erase this cruel fact? It can't be erased. He and Xia Houshang will never go back to the past.This person trusted himself so much at the beginning, even if he was burdened with the crime of betraying his clan, he had to do his best to help his enemy, even if he liked himself as a woman, even if he finally figured out the farce , this person is still single-minded.And him?It's just... It's just that Xia Houshang's life was saved with a small Linglong Pill. What did a Linglong Pill get in exchange?In exchange for a whole heart.

Xia Houshang quietly watched the teacup beside him making no sound, the silence spread like a deep ravine.Ling Hao raised his head and saw Xia Houshang's slightly frozen eyes, and opened his mouth: "You... how are you doing recently?".Xia Houshang just smiled wryly, what can he do, Lu Bu and Ma Chao are both first-rank generals now, Ling Hao is already a celebrity in front of the emperor, and now he is the only one left in a huge family in the past, what can he do? "That's it." Xia Houshang finally moved his eyes away from the teacup, "I haven't seen you for a long time, you have changed a lot.".

Change?Hehe, it has become even colder. Ling Hao remained silent after not looking for news about Xia Houshang for such a long time. "Is the trip to Nanban going well?" Xia Houshang's topic changed suddenly. "Fortunately...Meng Huo has sworn never to turn against him again, and this time he specially presented many rare treasures to the emperor." Maybe he didn't find anything to say, but when Xia Houshang took the initiative to speak, he seemed worried about the silence Same, Ling Hao took the words and said a few more words. "Is that so..." "It just so happens that the master is busy these few days, so all the submitted things are piled up here. By the way, I brought back a kind of elixir from Nanzhong, which is similar to Linglong elixir. If you like it, how about I give you one?" Chixiang Wan can be said to be the most precious thing in this tribute, but the guilt in his heart is too strong, Ling Hao can almost be said to do everything possible to make up for Xia Houshang.

"No need, even if it's the same as Linglong Pill, it's useless. If you give it to me, how will you explain it to the court?" Even at this point, this person is still thinking about himself, Ling Hao feels uncomfortable for a while It can't be added, even if Xia Houshang beat him and scolded him, why, why did he have to be like this, doesn't he hate himself in his heart?There was another burst of oppressive silence. Ling Hao lowered his head again and let the stiff atmosphere continue. After an unknown period of time, there was a vague movement around him.

A hand approached in front of him, Ling Hao was startled, and didn't move, letting Xia Houshang's hand stick to his cheek. "What's going on..." Xia Houshang murmured in a low voice, his brows and eyes full of bitterness.Ling Hao looked at the man in front of him, "Why did God let me meet you..." In just a few words, Ling Hao's heart was suffocated when he heard the words, Xia Houshang - after all, regretted it.Sometimes I also think, why, why did I make such a joke, let myself choose in a dilemma, he really didn't want to involve Xia Houshang at all, but step by step, the person who hurt the most is still this people. "I know it's useless to say anything now. I'm the one who's sorry for you. You must hate me very much now." Xia Houshang didn't say a word, but just stared at Ling Hao intently, the strength of his fingertips Very lightly, it slid inch by inch across the cheeks, and after a while, he finally hid all the emotions in his eyes, "I can no longer follow my heart, my uncle has already left...I can't make him sad.".Xia Houshang withdrew his hand, there was farewell, nostalgia and pain in his eyes.Ling Hao couldn't say a word, he didn't have any position, so it's okay—rather than being tortured like this, it's better to give up, even if you hate him, it doesn't matter.Xia Houshang glanced at Ling Hao for the last time, "Forgive me...", the three words floated in the air, as if saying goodbye for the last time, Ling Hao couldn't grasp the feeling in his heart, such Xia Houshang gave him a strange feeling Whether it is words or expressions, he can no longer read the hidden meaning behind it.

It can be said that he does not want to send it off by himself, but Xia Houshang chose to leave after staying at the mansion for only a moment. Does this mean that the two of them are completely strangers?Ling Hao didn't know.

Returning to his courtyard with a heavy heart, he opened the door to see Sun Ce flipping through a book bored. "It's over?", "Um...", Ling Hao was extremely tired, and responded softly.Sun Ce put the book back on the shelf, and just got up from the chair when he saw Ling Hao walking over and hugging him. "What's wrong?" Sun Ce wrapped his arms around the person in his arms and slowed down his voice. "It's nothing... I just feel very tired, let me hug you for a while." Ling Hao slowly closed his eyes.Sun Ce didn't ask any more questions, but just stroked Ling Hao's hair, "I'm yours all over, so why don't you excuse me. Go to bed when you're tired, and rest early today."

Lie down on the bed with Ling Hao in his arms, "I have a lot to do? Do you want my help?".Ling Hao shook his head. It wasn't because he had too many things to do, but because seeing Xia Houshang once again aroused the dormant guilt and anxiety in his heart. "I'll be fine after a night of sleep." I don't know whether to answer Sun Ce or to comfort himself, Ling Hao responded, and then buried his face in Sun Ce's arms. The warm body temperature of the other party calmed his mood somewhat.Knowing that Ling Hao didn't want to talk about it, even though he really wanted to know what happened, the more he asked, the more he would make this person feel uncomfortable. Sun Ce sighed in his heart, then bowed his head and kissed Ling Hao's hair, "Zixuan." "Huh?" Seeing Ling Hao looking up, Sun Ce smiled and leaned close to Ling Hao's ear.

Ling Hao's expression froze immediately, and then he looked at Sun Ce, "I'm not a woman...why didn't you call me?".Seeing that he had successfully diverted the other party's attention, Sun Ce tightened his arms around Ling Hao's waist again, "I want to listen to you, even if it's just to satisfy me, okay?".Ling Hao shook his head resolutely, "Da Qiao hasn't called you too much? What's so good about it?", "But you are the one I love, can it be the same?" Sun Ce lowered his head.Ling Hao's face burned a little from the greasy ear and temple rubbing, he was really defeated by this person, he opened his mouth, and it took a long time to spit out a few words, if he didn't listen carefully, he wouldn't be able to hear them at all. "I didn't hear it, say it again.", "I won't say it." Ling Hao closed his mouth, "I really didn't hear..." Sun Ce looked serious, and he didn't look like he was lying to him at all.Ling Hao stared at Sun Ce hesitantly for a while, but found no flaws, "I have already wronged myself so much, but I just want to hear you say two words and you don't want to...".Ling Hao hesitated when he heard the words, hesitated for a while, and then whispered: "Husband...".With an embarrassed tone and an uncomfortable expression, Sun Ce couldn't help laughing out loud.

Only then did Ling Hao realize that Sun Ce was teasing him again, "You--".Sun Ce hugged Ling Hao tightly. To be honest, it was the first time that Ling Hao’s voice just made him feel sore. , a few "husbands" popped out of the man's mouth, Ling Hao couldn't help being irritated by Sun Ce. "Putting other things aside, it's not too late to deal with them tomorrow, and you can take a good rest when you're resting." Knowing that Sun Ce wanted to divert his attention, Ling Hao closed his eyes, "Yeah." Indeed, no matter what he does now It's useless to think about it, it's better to do something practical to make up for it, "Thank you.". "Go to sleep." Sun Ce uttered softly, and then closed his eyes.

Since he was going to lead the army in the palace early in the morning, the emperor went out of the palace today to personally discuss the matter of Prime Minister Luo Xin. As a general of Wei, Ling Hao naturally couldn't neglect it.Ma Chao was still busy with the affairs of the palace, Lu Bu was not very interested in being appointed Prime Minister, and Sun Ce was called away by Sun Shangxiang when he left the court. I don't know what Sun Shangxiang would think if he knew about her elder brother and himself... …So when they traveled to the center of the city, they were Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang, who were all from Liu Bei’s side, but there were huge crowds of people who came out to join in the fun, and there were also many soldiers under Liu Bei’s command.The method adopted by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was the same as what he had suggested before. Each person had a bamboo stick dipped in black ink for opposition, and cinnabar for approval; It is not easy to count, so Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty only randomly selected ten people from each army, while the common people relaxed a lot, but everyone who was present could get a lottery.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was already sitting on the high platform under the canopy, Zhuge Liang was on the left, Liu Bei was on the right, and there were a few court officials who were not familiar with him. To Ling Hao’s surprise, Li An was also on the platform. When I saw him, I greeted him.Zhao Yun rode a white dragon and stood in front of Liu Beijun, "If you are ready, let's start." Ling Hao nodded, and ordered the soldiers behind him to push two big tripods to the high platform, one full of ink, and the other full of ink. It is bright red cinnabar.

"Let's start with the soldiers inside the imperial court." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an order, and the war drums beat on both sides of the high platform.In front of everyone, including the common people, thousands of soldiers were selected to draw lots one by one. "Red one, red two—red three—red four—" Bamboo sticks dipped in cinnabar quickly filled the shelves, and after a round of rounds, "return to the emperor, the red sticks are two thousand four hundred and five, the black sticks Sign five."Before the words were finished, everyone began to discuss. Of the 410 soldiers, only five people opposed it. That is to say, those who were in favor had an overwhelming advantage.Ling Hao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Zhao Yun didn't seem too surprised when he knew the result would be like this. He looked back at the high platform and saw that Zhuge Liang had been sitting there calmly. From Zhao Yun's point of view, The expressions of the emperor and Liu Bei are so serious, it's really... The person involved is not in a hurry, and the other people are in a hurry. "Let the common people come next." Ling Hao waved his hand, and the soldiers who had received the lottery retreated immediately.

After the round of the people was over, the counting officials immediately spread out all the recovered lottery, "Report to the emperor, three thousand 83 red lottery, seven black lottery." This is another extremely disparate comparison, Ling Hao is completely relieved, It seems that whether it is the court or the people, Zhuge Liang is extremely satisfied.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty nodded, stood up, and called the Chengzhi officer beside him, Zhuge Liang then got up. "Nowadays, the internal troubles have been eliminated, and the external troubles have also been broken. The Han dynasty has gone through ups and downs and finally regained its stability. I am not a competent emperor. It is precisely because of this that so many people have been displaced in the chaos of war. Repeat the same mistakes again, and for the sake of the common people, I don’t want to arbitrarily authorize the decision of the candidate for the Han Dynasty. Today’s choice of this method depends entirely on public opinion, and it’s up to you to decide whether this person is suitable.” Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked at the lottery presented in front of him, “ Six thousand three hundred lots, fair and just, only twelve black, since you feel you can trust me, I will naturally follow the people's will." Han Xiandi's voice was not very loud, but it was very clear when the audience was silent.

"Zhuge Liang, listen to the order." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty turned around.Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and bowed his knees. "Now you are the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. I hope that you will put the court and the people first in everything. Don't let everyone down on you." Taking Minghuang's imperial edict from the official, Han Xiandi personally handed it to Zhuge Liang. "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will live up to everyone's expectations." Zhuge Liang bowed his head and took the imperial decree from Han Xiandi.The moment the imperial decree was handed over, cheers broke out among the people immediately, and then all the soldiers present bowed their heads in unison: "Congratulations to Prime Minister Zhuge!".Ling Hao and Zhao Yun looked at each other, then immediately bowed their heads to Zhuge Liang and saluted.

The election went very smoothly. It was past noon when Ling Hao escorted Han Xiandi and Zhuge Liang back to the palace, and the matter of sealing the prime minister was extremely important. From this point of view, it was inevitable that there would be another big banquet in the evening. Present all the treasures brought back from the Nanman to the emperor. In addition, he will also give away the two swords of Meng Huo. As for the recipients, Zhao Yun is naturally one of them. Using a gun, plus the tasseled silver sword with Ma Teng, it is estimated that there is no need for extra swords; Lu Bu is a first-class bow and halberd, but he doesn't use swords very much; therefore, the second candidate is Sun Ce, although he was once the lord of a country. The role of the character must have a lot of weapons in his hand, but Ling Hao didn't think too much about it. It would be a waste to put a good sword in his peaceful hands, so he might as well give it to someone else.Thinking about this, Ling Hao made up his mind, first went to ask Emperor Xian of Han for instructions, and then decisively pulled Zhao Yun out of the palace.

According to the old practice, Zhuge Liang might not be able to leave the hall of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty this afternoon, and what Ling Hao feared most was to sit with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty for an entire afternoon. Firstly, he had nothing in common with him, and secondly, he really didn’t want to chat with each other...

"Didn't you say that there are still some statistics left? Why do you have to submit them today?", "Because the lord is expected to return to the fief in a few days. After returning, my tasks here will change again. Why don't you take advantage of it now?" Submit these to avoid any mistakes when there are too many things." Recently, Sun Shangxiang always called Sun Ce over at every turn. Judging by the appearance of the two brothers and sisters, it is estimated that Sun Shangxiang wanted to separate from his elder brother again, so Let's spend more time with Sun Ce now.Back at his mansion, Ling Hao asked people to move out all the large boxes. Seeing this, Zhao Yun had a strange expression, "This Meng Huo... gave a lot of things."Ling Hao smiled, and opened the boxes one by one. They were all rhino horn ivory, exotic animal skins, gold, silver and jewelry. "By the way, I have something for you." Ling Hao pulled out a long sword from the side and handed it to Zhao Yun, "This is what I took from Meng Huo when he first fought with him. It is a good sword. His sword is not much worse than Cao Cao's Qingzhi sword."Zhao Yun took the sword, it was indeed a good sword, and Meng Huo seemed to have put a lot of effort into making this sword just by looking at its texture and weight. "How about it, do you like it?" Zhao Yun smiled when he heard the words, and then said softly: "I like everything you gave me.".

Ling Hao also smiled, and was just about to have these things loaded into a carriage and sent to the palace later, when Han Ling, who was supposed to be with Guan Ping, suddenly came in for some reason. "Hey, second brother, you're back? General Zhao, you're here too." When Han Ling saw Zhao Yun, she immediately raised her eyebrows, stepped forward carelessly, and took Zhao Yun's arm.Ling Hao was helpless, "How do you feel that you are happier seeing Zilong than seeing me?" Han Ling stuck out her tongue, "General Zhao is not in front of me every day, by the way, second brother, today there is a call Xiahou People from Shang looked for you, and left after a while."Xia Houshang?Ling Hao paused again, Zhao Yun frowned when he heard the words, Xia Houshang...isn't he Xia Houyuan's nephew? "I see..." Ling Hao sighed in his heart, now only the other party came to him, but he couldn't muster up the courage to look for the other party.
