After returning home, Chen Qun began to pack his luggage. Sima Yi learned that he had been requisitioned by Cao Cao and was about to leave Xuzhou. Chen Qun planned to take Sima Yi to Xu County with him and asked him what he meant. Sima Yi pondered for a moment and declined his invitation:

"I have other things to do, so I won't go with you brother, but I will go back to Xu County to see you if I have the chance."

It was hard to force him to see that he was unwilling to go to Xu County Chen Qun, but he was very curious about where Sima Yi wanted to go next:

"Brother, where are you going next?"

Sima Yi replied: "I had an agreement with a senior before. I encountered an accident when I was on the appointment. Now that gentleman should be looking for me everywhere. I want to make peace with him first."

"That gentleman?" Chen Qun muttered in his heart: With Sima Yi's current knowledge and ability, a person who can make him respect so highly must not be a simple person, but the questioning that goes too far is a bit too long-winded.

The next morning, most of Cao Cao's army began to return, leaving only a small number of troops and the newly-subsidised troops in Xuzhou, handed over to Che Zhou as the main general and Hao Zhao as the deputy general to stay. The officials set off for the final journey.

Sima Yi also came to the city gate to see Chen Qun off. Chen Qun was very grateful for this. He held Sima Yi's hands tightly and said:

"My brother, I will take care of myself in the future. If you need any help from me, come to Xu County to find me."

Sima Yi was also quite moved by this: "The political atmosphere in Xu County is complicated, so brothers should be careful..."

Chen Qun was not the only official who was brought back to Xu County by Cao Cao, so there were many people who came to see him off except Sima Yi. He should not be so conspicuous in the crowd. However, his appearance attracted the attention of Liu Bei, who was standing next to Cao Cao. In the previous letters and contacts with Chen Qun several times, Chen Qun had never mentioned anything about Sima Yi. Sima Yi happened to appear beside him, which made Liu Bei's hidden heart stir up a lot of turmoil under the calm expression of calm face.

Guo Jia, not far away, seemed to notice something and closely monitored Liu Bei's every move.

Reluctantly, Chen Qun and the large group of people left the west gate of Xia Pi and gradually disappeared from Sima Yi's vision.

After Cao Cao's army was far away, Sima Yi thought of putting away his melancholy, let out a long sigh and then prepared to turn back to the city, planning the next step should be to go to Yangdi and wait for Hu Zhao or wait for Hu Zhao to find him here.

Just as he was about to turn around, a sharp sword with a cold light suddenly stood on his neck...

"Don't move, otherwise the head will land immediately..."

Originally, Sima Yi was indeed startled when the sword was placed on his neck. The Wuyu meteor in his sleeve quietly slid into his hand, ready to deal with the unknown enemy behind him. However, these seemingly cold and low and murderous words made Sima Yi instantly let down all his vigilance. After retracting Wuyu meteor, he raised his hands and replied coldly:

"Yes, yes, please don't cut off my head, I will be obedient..."

Suddenly, the man who was originally murderous intent behind him covered his abdomen with his left hand and laughed constantly. Sima Yi gently pushed the sword around his neck speechlessly, turned around and looked down at Hao Zhao who was sitting on the ground laughing:

"As the commander of a state, you still have the heart to play such a child's trick. You are really competent."

Hao Zhao stood up and patted the dust on his butt, and took advantage of Sima Yi's inattention and hooked his neck and said:

"You guys really dare to say that you almost killed the pursuers who attracted Dong Cheng when they were almost killed by you."

Sima Yi was grateful to Hao Zhao for this matter. After all, if it weren't for him, Gu Yuejue might not have had the chance to escape from Dong Cheng's clutch. After breaking away from Hao Zhao, he slowed down his previous sour tone:

"I heard that you and General Cao Zhen made great contributions to the attack on Xia Pi this time. Congratulations."

Hearing Sima Yi's praise, Hao Zhao waved his hand and said, "There is nothing to praise. Even though we finally won, I still lost to Lu Bu in my personal victory, which almost caused a disaster..."

Sima Yi, who had not decided on what to do next, stayed in Pi for one night under Hao Zhao's resolution.

Hao Zhao brought Sima Yi back to his home for hospitality, and the two talked about their past experiences.

When asked about Sima Yi's situation, Sima Yi just said a vaguely and did not tell him all his dangerous situations.

Sima Yi learned from Hao Zhao's narrative that he was recommended to Cao Cao in Xu County through Guo Jia, so Cao Cao placed Che Zhou and Hao Zhao to help him. Later, these three young generals had many achievements in the previous battle in Xia Pi.

The more he talked, the more Hao Zhao drank, and soon he fell asleep on the table because he couldn't bear to drink.

Sima Yi, who had almost no alcohol, covered his cloak on him.

Suddenly, a chill behind him made him feel very bad. He turned around and hurried back to Chen Qun's house because the bamboo slips that Zuo Ci and Hu Zhao had given him were still at Chen Qun's house.

The room with only a little moonlight shone into the room and seemed a little invisible. Sima Yi just pushed open the door and felt that the murderous aura in the room was very heavy. Before he could react, a cold light suddenly passed by him. Sima Yi could not dodge and fell to the ground. He subconsciously slid the Wuyu meteor in his sleeve into his hand, preparing to shoot a short arrow at the person in front of him to protect himself.

However, just as he raised the Wuyu meteor, the cold light once again slashed the Wuyu meteor in his hand to the ground. When Sima Yi hurriedly wanted to pick it up, he found that the Wuyu meteor had been split in half by him...

At this time, the black shadow looked at the unlucky meteor that was destroyed by him with a strange look.

Now Sima Yi had no weapons to resist in his hand, so he could only sit on the ground and support the ground with his hands and keep retreating. The man holding the sword of cold light slowly walked into him.

As Sima Yi slowly retreated from the house, the moonlight gradually illuminated his figure. When the outline below his neck was fully revealed and his face had not yet been clearly seen, the man stopped walking forward because there was a person standing behind Sima Yi.

That person is Hu Zhao holding a bamboo handle and a leaf sword...

The two of them confronted each other, Hu Zhao held the scabbard in his left hand and his right hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
