Zhang Chunhua's disappearance was the biggest blow to the two people. One was Sima Lang, the initiator of the Zhang Wang family's destruction, and the second person was Sima Yi, who had already regarded her as his family.

Sima Yi's silence along the way made Zhao Rui, who was originally guilty, feel that what she did was right. If Zhang Chunhua was always by Sima Yi's side, she would never have received his attention, and even Sima Yi would not have noticed her existence.

In order to comfort Sima Yi, Zhao Rui restrained her temper as a young lady who was usually pampered and always talked to him by his side to make him happy, but the response he received was counterproductive. Sima Yi, who was sitting in the car and leaning against the window, just looked at the displaced scene outside, with a very muscular expression and a very dull look.

At the same time, Sima Lang, who was rushing the car, also suppressed the deep sadness in his heart and gritted his teeth and rode his horse.

On the other hand, the situation was already very bad when Cao Cao and Lu Bu fought. Although he got the food and military sources transported by Zhao Zi, he had lost most of the land in Yanzhou and was still a little difficult to face Lu Bu's surging attack.

But at the same time, a good news came:

Yuan Shao did not unite with Lu Bu. On the contrary, he wanted to help Cao Cao and asked his family to move to Yecheng.

This was a big temptation for Cao Cao. He was a little moved. Cheng Yu, who was standing by, saw Cao Cao's thoughts and immediately stopped him: "My lord must not go. You are just poor at the moment. You still have the three cities of Juancheng, Dong'a and Dongjun as the basis. Yuan Shao is in the north, with a broad outside and a taboo inside. Although he has the ambition to swallow the sky and spit out the earth, he does not have the ability to match him. Please imagine, if you go to Yuan Shao, are you willing to plan things under his hands, and will he really trust you and appoint you?"

Cheng Yu's words made Cao Cao not rush to make a decision. At this time, a soldier outside the tent stepped forward and reported:

"Report to the lord, Mr. Xi, Yu Muye, sent an urgent letter."

When he heard that it was Xi Zhicai's letter, Cao Cao quickly walked to the soldiers to pick up the letter, waved his hand to ask him to leave and then hurriedly opened it. After reading it, he laughed and said, "Zhongde, you are right. Even Mr. Xi had a premonition that I had the intention of surrendering to Yuan Shao, so he sent someone to send me a message in an urgent manner, so that I must not give up my existing capital and go to Yecheng."

In fact, as soon as he saw Cao Cao's expression after reading the letter, Cheng Yu knew that what Xi Zhicai said in the letter was consistent with what he said, but he immediately expressed his admiration for Xi Zhicai: "Mr. Xi is far away but can see the situation. Even his lord's thoughts have been expected. He is really a rare talent, worthy of the title of "Eight Scholars of Yingchuan"."

Cao Cao immediately decided: Let Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei guard the three cities without any loss.

As for Yuan Shao's letter, Cao Cao threw it into the stove and completely strengthened his determination to retake Yanzhou.

Yanzhou was very chaotic at this time. Fortunately, Lu Bu did not fully control Sizhou, and Wenxian could still return. Sima Lang and others had little rest to return to Wenxian. Sima Yi held the book of the old man in the hat and studied it day and night, almost to the point of forgetting himself. Even Zhao Rui turned a blind eye to him many times.

Finally, Zhao Rui's patience reached the limit. In anger, she grabbed Shu Jian from Sima Yi and threw it out of the car window. Sima Yi was in a daze and shouted to stop the car. Sima Lang immediately stopped the horse when he heard the sound. Before Sima Yi could stop the car, he jumped out of the car in panic and ran behind to look for Shu Jian.

However, there was no Shu Jian on the flat-spread pine stone road. He was so anxious that he almost went crazy. He searched all corners and still found nothing. Sima Lang, who followed him, asked:

"Zhongda, what are you looking for?"

Sima Fu, who followed behind, glanced at Zhao Rui next to him and replied: "She threw away her second brother's book script."

Although Zhao Rui knew that she was impulsive, she did not have the attitude of admitting her mistakes, but instead she became more and more excited:

"I didn't mean it. Besides, I'm just a broken book crayon. I'll just pay you a reward."

Sima Yi was powerless to refute Zhao Rui's words. He walked back listlessly. He was covered in dust and he was lifeless as if he was being photographed. He helped the carriage into the carriage, never poked his head out, nor said a word.

Seeing that he was like this, everyone couldn't say anything, so they had to get in the car and continue on the road.

Shortly after the horse's neighing hooves, a young man wearing a long black suit and a blue scarf on his head, walked out of the bushes, holding Sima Yi's lost bamboo slips in his hands on his back, and smiled at the carriage that was gradually moving away:

"Is that just him?"

After arriving at Muye, Sima Lang decided to stop for a while and rested for a while. Sima Yi had lost two important things, Zhang Chunhua and bamboo slips, and had reached the point of not wanting to eat and eat. Therefore, he could not continue to rush, otherwise he would not be able to withstand the bumps along the way and would be very likely to worry about life. This is also an important reason for Sima Lang's decision to return to Wen County day and night.

After finding the inn, they boarded. Sima Yi got out of the car and left the inn. Zhao Rui wanted to chase after her, but Sima Lang grabbed her hand and stopped him, "Let him be alone, some things cannot be solved by us."

Walking alone on the street, he did not notice that the people on both sides of the road were sparsely populated, and he did not even notice that the people standing in front of him were blocking him, so he suddenly bumped into his arms, and then he immediately flew back and sat on the ground.

When he raised his head, he saw an old man standing in front of him, looking gentle and weak. The man didn't blame him, so he stretched out his hand to pull Sima Yi up. He stood up and didn't care about slapping the dust on his body. After bent down to apologize, he wanted to leave. However, the man behind him smiled:

"It seems that there is something to worry about."

Sima Yi looked back at the man in black shirt with his back facing him. It was not surprising that he saw something in his heart, but why he said these words to him. However, he did not intend to pay attention and turned his head to continue walking.

Seeing that he ignored him, the man in black continued to smile and said, "Zuo Yuanfang once said that Sima Zhongda was a genius at that time. Although this son was young, he would definitely succeed in the future and be recorded in history. I have come to visit him for a long time, but it seems that he is just a false reputation."

"How do you know I am Sima Yi?"

After hearing his words, Sima Yi disagreed. At first, he thought the man in black was a wise man who cheated money, so he turned his head and asked, "Zuo Ci is a master of the world. I have never seen him before. How could he know that I am a genius of the world?"

The man in black shirt lowered his head and smiled slightly. Sima Yi was in a very bad mood at this time, so he was quite impatient:

"What's so funny?"

The man took out something from his arms and showed it to Sima Yi:

"If Zuo Ciliu hadn't been to you, how could you have been so distracted after this book was lost?"

Sima Yi read the book clearly, clearly the book that he was carrying with him. He hurriedly stepped forward and took it back from the man in black clothes and opened it to read it. When he saw that it was indeed the book he had lost, his face was filled with joy.

"How did I get this book shortly after I lost it?"

Sima Yi thanked the man in black shirt and asked him the reason. The man in black shirt replied: "I happened to pick it up by accident when I passed the path in the forest. At that time, your carriage had just passed by me, so I had to follow you to return this bamboo slip."

It happened that it was raining heavily. In order to hide from the rain, they temporarily hid in the pavilion to shelter from the rain. During this period, the two of them chatted for a few words. Sima Yi felt that this man knew much more than him and would definitely help him, so he begged him to give some advice on what he didn't understand. The man was not stingy and told Sima Yi what he asked sincerely.

It had been half a day after the explanation, and the rain was much lighter. The man in black stood up and took out his portable flute. After playing for a while, a purple horse in the streets and alleys slowly walked over. The man in black took off the hat on the horse's back and covered it on his head, stepped on the horse and watched Sima Yi under the horse and said:

"Everything goes well. Some things, whether joy or sadness, have become memories. They should not be obstacles to your future actions. There is still a long way to go ahead. I hope you can do it yourself."

When he had walked not far, Sima Yi suddenly remembered and asked loudly: "I beg you to be the honorable title of sir."

The man in black clothes walked eastward, with only Sima Yi on his back:

"Yingchuan Opera Zhicai."

Not far outside the city gate, Xi Zhicai gently tied the reins and stopped the horse, and said to the inside of the city wall behind:

"As we expected, you did not exaggerate his ability, maybe even I will not be his opponent in the future."

The person who walked out of the inner wall was the old man who gave Sima Yi bamboo slips. At this time, he was holding an oil paper umbrella in his hand and wearing a blue long gown. He said to Xi Zhicai:
