If Cao Cao really regarded Xiahou Yuan as a brother, he would not have done this, but instead took revenge at all costs.

They just wanted Ma Chao to die, but Cao Cao let Ma Chao survive. This is a very ironic thing.

They had no choice but to leave the palace with their unhappiness and return home, Xiahou Ba remembered what had happened before and said, "If the general was still there, how great it would be! He would definitely make the decision for us."

Xiahou Heng said: "If the general was in Xiangyang, he would never let Ma Chao go."

Xiahou Ba suddenly had a new idea and hurriedly said, "Brother, why don't we go and kill Ma Chao and leave Xiangyang to find the general. What do you think?"

Now Ma Chao doesn't know if he is dead, but if he can be taken to treat, he will likely survive. This is not the result they want.

After thinking seriously for a long time, Xiahou Heng shook his head and said, "We can do this, but the Xiahou family is not the only one, but other brothers and elders. It's okay to kill Ma Chao, but will it implicate them?"

"If it were just the two of us, it would be fine. We should be able to escape. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will blame them who are staying in Xiangyang."

Their Xiahou family is so big that they can leave just by wanting to leave, and they are not Chen Yang, so they can't take so many people away.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work. What should we do?"

Xiahouba said irritably.

"It may be difficult to leave now. Otherwise, we will try first, arrange the family members outside the city in batches, and then find a way to kill Ma Chao, so that we can leave without any worries."

Xiahou Heng thought for a while and said, "As long as we can kill Ma Chao, it doesn't matter whether our brothers can live. Revenge will be avenged. As long as other family members can do it, it will be enough. They go to Chang'an to find the general, and everything will be fine."

Xiahouba felt that this was feasible and hurriedly said, "We have to make arrangements quickly."

Ma Chao was taken down for treatment. Although the injury was not fatal, it was also very serious. He had been in bed for more than two days. During this period, of course he had to plan what to do next.

Ma Chao expected to be able to live.

But after surviving, how to implement the plan is the top priority. He has made such great efforts and even sacrificed so much, so he must not waste it in vain.

"Meng Qi, what do you think?"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Cao Pi walked in first.

During this period, only Cao Pi often came to see him, but Ma Chao couldn't understand what Cao Pi did this for the time being.

"I'm lucky enough to be alive!"

Ma Chao responded in a polite manner.

"Does Meng Qi know, why should I help you?"

Cao Pi asked.

“Why?”

Ma Chao really couldn't understand this.

"Because I want to win over a group of people who belong to me."

Cao Pi said lightly: "You just came to Xiangyang and may not know what's happening inside us. Although my elder brother is not in power now and is locked up, his prestige in the country is still very high. Dian Wei, Cao Ren and others all look to him. As long as something happens, he will be the first person to think of."

This led to Cao Pi's heart being very unbalanced and his thoughts became deformed.

After hearing what he said, Ma Chao suddenly understood, probably because it was their internal seizure of power.

Because Cao Cao ascended the throne until now, he has not yet established a crown prince. According to normal principles, Cao Ang was the crown prince, but Cao Cao did not respond for a long time, which is equivalent to giving Cao Pi a hope and thinking that he could make a move.

Cao Pi continued: "You should have thought that I want to argue with Cao Ang, right?"

Ma Chao nodded and said, "It is probably possible that the second young master can't compete with the eldest young master, so he wants to use some means, right?"

Cao Pi did not hide anything, and nodded directly and said, "That's right, my elder brother has such a high prestige, it's hard for me to win him. As long as he is willing, most generals in Wei State can obey his orders, so I want to find an ally with him."

"Meng Qi, you are a capable person. When they were with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, they didn't know how to use people and followed the wrong person. If you follow me in the future, you will be able to realize your wish, because I also want Chen Yang to die, how about it?"

He looked at Ma Chao with anticipation.

"In the Wei Kingdom, so many people hate me because I killed General Xiahou."

Ma Chao sighed and said, "Just like this, no one will be nice to me except the second son. If I don't surrender to the second son, I will be ungrateful."

"good!"

Cao Pi clapped his hands directly and said, "When I take all this in the future, I will never forget Meng Qi."

Ma Chao laughed in his heart, Cao Pi took all this?

He thought it was almost impossible. Not to mention that he was going to cause destruction, just saying that Cao Pi's character and ability was like a fool.

Of course, he would not say this. As long as the chaos within the Great Wei Dynasty is, the greater the benefits it will be for him.

In the following time, Ma Chao was waiting for an opportunity to let Cao Cao meet him. If it weren't for this, there would be many things that he wouldn't be able to do.

Chen Yang returned to Chang'an and took Mi Zhu back.

"Brother, why are you here?"

When Mi Zhen saw his brother coming to Chang'an, he didn't know how happy he walked towards them happily.

"Where is my niece of Shu'er? Bring it to me and see."

Mi Zhu felt that his uncle had failed and had not been back for so long to see how Shu'er had.

Hearing his shouts, Shu'er ran out obediently and said sweetly: "Uncle, long time no see."

Mi Zhu smiled and said, "So Shu'er is so old, I almost can't recognize her. Come on! This is a gift from my uncle to Shu'er."

He took out a jade pendant carved from Hetian jade and handed it to Shu'er.

"I'm not grateful to my uncle!"

Mi Zhen knocked on the little girl's forehead.

Shu'er said happily: "Thank you uncle!"

"I want it too, Uncle Zizhong!"

Xiao'er didn't know when she ran out, raised her little head and said with anticipation.

"Xiao'er, don't be rude!"

Guo Huan said blamingly: "How did I teach you? Be polite, do you know?"

"knew!"

Xiao'er lowered her head and looked well-behaved.

"Madam, you don't need to do this. It's normal for children to be naughty."

Mi Zhu laughed and said, "Xiao'er, go and call Ru'er, and the others out. I have a gift for you."

Xiao'er didn't dare to look at her mother at will.

"Go!"

Guo Huan patted his little head and said, "Zi Zhong, you will spoil those children."

Xiao'er cheered and ran in.

Chen Yang also said: "Those brats are the easiest to be spoiled."

Mi Zhu laughed and said, "It's better they're a little naughty. Now they can run more so that they can grow taller in the future."
