Chapter forty-four

At noon, Mao Jie's mansion.

Mao Jie and Dong Zhao looked at each other, their hearts were ashamed, and they sat in the study room looking at each other without saying a word.

After a while, the servant stumbled in and said, "Sir, there is news."

"how?"

"The Grand Tutor ordered that lies about military affairs and should be investigated strictly."

"Who will check it?"

"This... it was the Grand Marshal Yang Biao who personally investigated the matter."

Upon hearing this, Mao Jie slowly closed his eyes and held it in his stomach for a long time without vomiting it out. When Dong Zhao heard this, he felt as if his bones were suddenly removed from his body, and he could no longer sit still.

After a while, Mao Jie said sadly: "In the lord's heart, ten Mao Jies are not as good as Xiahou Dun who lost his troops and was incompetent incompetent Xiahou Dun."

Dong Zhao sighed, stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I did all this matter. If there is any punishment, I should naturally bear it myself. Brother Xiaoxian, take care of it."

"What does Gongren mean? If you want to calculate this, you will naturally count it on me. I have been following my lord for many years. Even if I have been punished, I will have a chance to recover in the future. If Gongren admits this sin, I am afraid that I will never go back."

"Precisely because Brother Xiaoxian is the confidant of the Taifu, I need to take good care of myself. If Brother Xiaoxian is demoted today, I am afraid that I will be affected. If Brother Xiaoxian is protected, maybe I will still have a time to recover in a few years."

As he said that, Dong Zhao bowed deeply to Mao Jie and bowed: "I would like to ask my brother not to forget what happened today, and wait until the times change, and I will give me another hand."

Mao Jie's nose felt sour when he heard this, he held Dong Zhao's hand and shook it hard, and tears burst out from his eyes: "From now on, you will be my brother of Mao Jie. Don't worry, as long as you can save your life this time, I will help you return to the court in the future."

"Brother, take care of yourself!"

"Take care of yourself!"

At this time, another servant came and said, "Sir, Guo Jijiu asked for a meeting outside the door, he said..."

Mao Jie frowned and scolded angrily: "Let him get out of here!! I have nothing to talk about with him, a relative of Yingchuan!"

Seeing this, the servant had to run out and refuse to Guo Jia again in a daze.

What Guo Jia relies on is Cao Cao's trust, but in terms of trust, Mao Jie is the real close minister. Therefore, everyone in Xu's capital is afraid of Guo Jia, but Mao Jie is not afraid.

Besides, as Mao Jie said, Guo Jia is now a relative of Yingchuan. Although the incident was obviously instructed by the emperor, it was Queen Guo who was executed. Will Cao Cao really trust him as much as before?

……………………

Xiahou Dun returned to the army with a crushing defeat. The one who was cheated even worse than Dong Zhao was naturally Xiahou Wu. He and his friends have been cheated as stupid.

Didn’t it be agreed that he would go to the front line to serve as a trap for his own father?

I've admitted all my sins!

You told me that my father has returned after confessing his guilt?

Xiahou Wei was so depressed that he wanted to vomit three liters of blood, even Cao Cao was depressed.

What else can I do? Is it overturning the verdict? I don’t bring such a joke.

Are you pleading? How do you ask? Who will ask? Is Cao Cao?

Thinking of Xiahou Dun's hard work and great contributions, Cao Cao is also a shameless person!

The more I thought about it, the more I felt unsure of Xiahou.

"Brothers, my father has lost the battle and we can't go to the camp, but our sins have been acknowledged, and according to the law, we must be killed."

Several fellow Qiao County villagers who were originally from grassroots officials of Suwei were looking at him now and wanted to eat him, but they knew that their lives were on others, so they could only ask: "Young master, what should we do?"

"Or... let's run."

"Run? This is the Tingwei Prison, how can we run?"

"We snatch the prison head's weapon in a while and then go out. I rushed to the front. Can these prisoners dare to stop us?"

"Then where else can we run?"

"Let's go back to your hometown in Qiao County. After a few years, the storm has faded, so let's come back."

Seeing the little friends around him hesitating, Xiahou Qing said, "My father is Xiahou Dun. I always call you uncle directly. Follow me. Are you still afraid that there will be no chance of recovery?"

When everyone heard this, they nodded and followed Xiahou to "escape" for a prison.

Xiahou was indeed very brave. In fact, because they were originally going to be sent to the front line, they were not locked up in prison, but were taken to Tingwei's Mansion and put on house arrest.

After snatching a knife from the guards, Xiahou Wei danced the knife so hard that he could not help but kill him directly under the gate of Xudu City.

After all, his father is Xiahou Dun. He, a prison-breaking death row prisoner, may not be really dead if he kills the prison guard. But if you dare to hurt him, you will most likely be buried with him. How could these guards stop him with all their heart?

But just as they walked under the city gate, they were finally stopped by Xu Duwei.

"I am Xiahou Wu, the son of Xiahou Dun. The doorman will open the door quickly, otherwise I will kill you!"

The guards dared not let them go, but if they really wanted to go up and arrest people, they didn't dare, so they had to stalemate and wait for the big guys above to deal with the matter.

Sure enough, not long after, the Xu County Chief Sima Yi rode over on Ma Congcong. When Xiahou saw Sima Yi, he remembered that it was this person who broke his nose and caused him to throw him away all the time on the wedding night. He was immediately angry and extremely jealous.

"Young Master Xiahou, do you think that you didn't slander enough to Lingzun, and do you think you were not embarrassed enough? Tingwei's prison was uncomfortable and wanted to change to our Xu Duwei's prison?" Sima Yi's expression did not even change much when he said these words. He seemed to have not slept last night and was in a bad mood.

"Sima Yi, you traitor! Let us out of the city quickly, otherwise I will kill you now!"

"Take it down, be careful not to hurt Mr. Xiahou's life. As for the broken hands and feet, it doesn't matter. As for the rest of the people, if they resist, they will kill them!"

Sima Yi lazily ordered.

After hearing this, a group of Xu Duwei stepped forward. The guards of Qiao County who followed Xiahou Wei to escape from prison did not dare to resist. When they saw that Sima Yi was really here, they immediately threw away their weapons and expressed their surrender.

Xiahou Wei was dissatisfied and rushed over with a knife to assassinate Sima Yi. However, Sima Yi didn't look at him at all. Soon, he was surrounded by Xu Duwei, with his left and right clumsy, and he was very embarrassed.

However, at this moment, an arrow suddenly flew over and hit Sima Yi's chest. Fortunately, Sima Yi was wearing a light and light armor inside today, which saved his life, but was also knocked down by the huge impact of the arrow.

After all, Ru Kai is not a serious fight, and its defense is just that.

"Who?!"

Then more than 30 people suddenly ran out of the street, wearing white clothes and white hats, wearing short bows and arrows, and rushed straight to Sima Yi's military formation. One of them shouted: "Protect the young master!"

At this time, Xu Duwei had already fought with these white-clothed masked men. With just one glance, Sima Yi could see that these more than 30 people were elite soldiers of a hundred battles, and Xu Duwei under his command might not be his opponent.

And... are these people really Xiahou Dun's people? Why did they listen to the leader's shout with a little Xiliang accent that could not be hidden?

But Xiahou Wei is dead or alive, what does it have to do with him, a small county lieutenant?

Anyway, he stopped him and was injured, and the responsibility was completely left out.

He immediately shouted: "Ah~, I'm injured, you guys should protect me and go home!"
