Sima Yi looked at Guo Jia blankly, as if he suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Chen Qun and Hu Zhao present were also shocked by Guo Jia's words, because Guo Jia's meaning was already very clear, and he was sending a letter of war to Sima Yi...

Hu Zhao, who was watching, absolutely did not allow such a thing to happen. He immediately stopped Guo Jia's "crazy" behavior:

"Are you crazy? You actually challenged him, are you afraid that everyone will not know where Sima Yi appears?"

Chen Qun, who had not completely sorted out the relationship between Guo Jia and Sima Yi from beginning to end, also keenly realized that everything seemed so unusual. It seemed that Guo Jia did this, and the purpose of being competitive was not as simple as he was on the surface. However, as an outsider, he was not easy to participate, so he had to stand aside and quietly be a bystander.

Guo Jia ignored Hu Zhao's interference and never looked away from Sima Yi's eyes:

"What? Don't you dare to compete with me? Are you afraid of losing to me again?"

Facing Guo Jia's provocative words, Hu Zhao could no longer control his anger. He stepped forward and stood in front of Sima Yi and Guo Jia: "I will not allow this kind of thing to happen. Guo Jia, I am too disappointed with you!"

But Guo Jia still ignored Hu Zhao's words. Although he could not see Sima Yi's expression and eyes now, he had already seen Sima Yi's unyielding passionate blood in his heart, and it had begun to gradually become warm.

At this time, Guo Jia began to look at Hu Zhao: "Don't worry, I did this not necessarily mean to harm him. I heard that in order to eliminate future troubles, Cao Cao had decided to launch a massacre after capturing Liucheng, the base camp of Wuhuan. If Sima Yi refused to take action, it would probably not only be the person he wanted to protect would die, but even he himself would..."

Hu Zhao was completely impatient when he turned around and said sternly to Sima Yi:

"Don't be defeated by Guo Jia's provocation. You are not allowed to go to Liucheng, let alone get involved in this matter."

Guo Jia suddenly burst into laughter. This was a smile he rarely appeared. Even if everyone present was very familiar with his temper, he was still unable to adapt to his long smile.

"No matter what, I will do my best this time. It's better if you don't want to intervene. Although you will have less fun, those idiots and your beloved will probably be doomed..."

Guo Jia's words became particularly arrogant and arrogant. Sima Yi knew very well that although he was provoking him, what he said was indeed the truth. After clenching his fists tightly, he walked out from behind Hu Zhao, facing Guo Jia who had defeated him directly, and said firmly: "I accept it, I will not make the same mistake again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Zhao expressed strong opposition: "Are you crazy too?"

Sima Yi calmly replied: "No, Mr. Kong Ming, this time my purpose is to verify my own abilities. It is not to serve anyone except protecting Zhang Chunhua, so it is not considered to be a violation of my oath."

From Sima Yi's eyes, Guo Jia could see that his fighting spirit had been fully stimulated by him. Seeing that his purpose had been achieved, he turned around and walked out the door. When he reached the threshold, he stopped:

"I'll give you a piece of advice. Now you can predict people thousands of miles apart, but you may not be able to see people close to you..."

Having lost his mind by the two of them, Hu Zhao shook his sleeves and left angrily:

"You can do whatever you like! Don't regret it if you can make a big mess at that time!"

The house, which was just inspiring, gradually became dull due to the departure of Guo Jia and Hu Zhao. On the surface, it seemed that nothing had happened in the quiet house. However, Chen Qun still felt the seriousness of the matter.

He walked behind Sima Yi and stretched out his hand and gently placed it on his shoulder. When his hand touched Sima Yi's stiff and slightly trembling shoulder, he suddenly felt as if he was hit by lightning and asked him to quickly retract his hand:

"Zhongda, you..."

At this time, Chen Qun finally confirmed his previous guess: At this time, Sima Yi's excited blood was burning. He should have seen it when he was in Xuzhou. His broad vision and wisdom that were different from ordinary people were beyond his reach. What's more, he is now at a young age. How could such a person be willing to let his talents be buried like this?

"Have you thought about it? Guo Fengxiao is known as a 'genius'. His abilities have reached its peak after Xi Zhicai's death. No one can match him. It is not easy to fight him, even if it is you..."

Before Chen Qun finished speaking, Sima Yi turned his face slightly and interrupted him softly:

"Of course I know this. Although I have fought side by side with him before, I have not had a face-to-face confrontation yet. This is also a rare opportunity to prove how much I am."

Guo Jia, who was wandering in the dark alley, had the look of Sima Yi looking at him just now, and he couldn't help but smile.

After walking a few steps, the heart-wrenching pain in his chest once again made his body lose balance. Several ghosts appeared in the road in front of him instantly, making him finally lose consciousness and fall to the ground.

With his right face pressed against the ground, he vaguely felt a figure walking towards him. The figure of the person in his blurry vision was so blurry, but so familiar.

Finally, Guo Jia basically saw her face clearly. He was pale and squeezed out a smile with all his strength:

"Don't worry... I'll pick you up soon..."

As the man who kept moving his footsteps approached him walked to Guo Jia's side, he closed his eyes again...

When Guo Jia suddenly opened his eyes, he found that he was already lying on the bed in his residence. He vaguely remembered that he had lost consciousness on the way home, but after waking up, he was at his home, which was incredible.

Soon Guo Jia discovered the person standing by the bed with his back facing away. He lifted the white quilt on his body and sat down to the edge of the collapse. He looked at the person wearing a black cloak and could hardly accurately identify his identity from his back.

"You're awake..."

Before Guo Jia could speak, the man in the cloak spoke first to break the silence atmosphere.

The man's hat with a cloak completely covered the back of his head. Guo Jia was able to identify his identity from his voice. Soon Guo Jia had the answer, and stood up with difficulty on the side of the bed with his right hand and walked forward two steps:

"I thought I would never have a chance to see you again before I died, why did you show up here?"

The man in the cape sounded very stiff and seemed to have some dissatisfaction with Guo Jia:

"I didn't expect you to speculate on me and them. It seems that I underestimate you too much..."

Guo Jia sneered: "I underestimate you too much. You are the first person in this world who can play with me, and he actually recruited Zhong Yu and Cheng Wu under his command. How about it? I feel good to manipulate these talents who have been trained by their own hands behind the scenes?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jia's slightly joking smile froze and turned to a very serious one:

"What are you going to do with her? Didn't you want to rescue her for such a long time?"

It was obvious that the cloaked man's hesitation had shown that he was unwilling to answer this question, and instead directed the topic to Sima Yi: "You seem to be particularly concerned about Sima Yi, and you even want to fight with a junior like him before you die."

As he said that, the man in the hat turned around and faced Guo Jia head-on, questioning him coldly:

"What kind of reason is it just because of the relationship between him and Cai Yan?"

Guo Jia, who felt that he could no longer stand, slowly moved back two steps and sat back on the edge of the bed. At some point, crystal clear sweat beads seeped out of his pores. The man in the cloak noticed Guo Jia's poor health:

"This has nothing to do with you. If you hadn't insisted on getting involved, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

Guo Jia, whose breathing intervals are getting shorter and shorter, seemed to be starting to get sick again, but he endured the pain in his body and competed with the man in the cloak: "If you don't care about her, it means I don't care about her. You have what you want to do, and I have what I want to do..."

"So that's it, indeed, I have no position to interfere with the decisions you make..."

The man in the cloak did not intend to extend his conversation with Guo Jia anymore. He walked out the door. Before leaving, he gave Guo Jia the last sentence: "Your eyes seem to be too focused recently. You don't pay attention to your back. Be careful, don't wait until the irreparable consequences are caused before regretting..."

Realizing that Guo Jia was referring to the words of the man in the cloak, he seemed a little panicked. He loudly stopped the steps that wanted to stop the man in the cloak: "What do you mean? Could it be that they want to treat Zhang Ning and his son..."

Before Guo Jia could finish his words, the man in the cloak had already walked out of the house.

For some reason, Guo Jia's hands began to tremble constantly, and for the second time he felt that he might lose something important.

Just when he was extremely anxious about this, even vomiting blood and fell to the ground, Hu Zhao, with an angry face, walked in from outside the door and saw this scene. He quickly stepped forward and helped Guo Jia up:

"Hey! It doesn't matter, right? I'll take you to find a doctor right away..."

Hu Zhao, who originally planned to settle the score with Guo Jia for Sima Yi's problem, saw Guo Jia's appearance that he might be dead at any time, and he didn't care about so much. Just when he was about to pick up Guo Jia, he tightly grabbed his hand with his right hand stained with his blood. He was trembling with his voice and tried his best to say the key sentence to himself:

"Quick...Go...Protect Zhang Ning and the children..."

When Hu Zhao rushed to Xu County without stopping, he was surprised to find that Zhang Ning and his son were unscathed. Not only that, he also sat in the courtyard with Xun Yu's daughter Xun Li, and he seemed to have not been attacked at all.

Although she stood in the dark and didn't want to show up, Zhang Ning still noticed Hu Zhao. She raised her head and smiled at the elm tree where Hu Zhao was hiding, "Mr. Kongming, it should be very tiring to stand on the tree. I happened to prepare pastries with my sister Xun Li. If you don't mind, come down and use some..."

Hu Zhao didn't expect that his agile skills would be seen through by the woman in front of him, who was powerless. He was ashamed and gently jumped from the branch and fell to the ground:

"Madam, is there any abnormal situations happening during this period?"

Zhang Ning put the teacup in his hand back into the tray on the bamboo floor between her and Xun Li. After lowering her head and being silent for a moment, she raised her head and looked at Hu Zhao: "There is... Five days ago, a masked man holding a silver spear. He broke into my house while my two sons and I were sleeping well and wanted to be detrimental to our mother and son."

"Holding a silver spear?" Hu Zhao quickly thought of the person Guo Jia had told me before that the person who stabbed Sima Yi was holding a silver spear. He inferred that these two should be the same person.

However, Hu Zhao soon discovered a crucial issue: if Guo Jia had been prepared for this matter, then he would not have asked himself to come back to save them in such a panic look.

Zhang Ning could see the doubts in Hu Zhao's eyes, so she smiled and looked down at Xun Li, who was also smiling. Hu Zhao, who had always regarded himself very highly, was confused by the two girls today.

"In fact, when Mr. Fengxiao followed the army to fight against Yecheng, he asked General Cao Zhen to secretly protect Ning'er's sister and his son. They were safe, but I don't know why there was an assassin in the palace suddenly one night. General Cao Zhen hurried back to the palace to protect His Majesty and the Empress. Unexpectedly, the assassin came not long after he left, killing all the guards left by General Cao Zhen..."

Xun Li's words roughly made Hu Zhao understand the whole story. He could see that this was a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but he was still very curious about the reason for escape: "That's what..."

Zhang Ning smiled and said, "It's Mr. Changwen."

"Chen Qun?" Hu Zhao couldn't believe his ears: "How could he do?"

Then Xun Li took Zhang Ning's words: "I don't know the specific reason. Before leaving, Chen Qun had specially instructed me that if something happened to the palace, he would quickly notify his father to take Zhang Ning and his son to my house for strict protection. Unexpectedly, he was really caught up with the information. So after receiving the news, I rushed here to take Ning'er's sister and his son to my house. Fortunately, it was one step earlier, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable."

After saying that, she pouted and seemed to be unwilling to accept it: "Originally, my father set up a trap to capture the assassin holding a silver spear alive, but his martial arts are really too high. Nearly a hundred soldiers can even make him escape..."

As she spoke, she admired Chen Qun's wisdom of the unknown, and her words inevitably showed appreciation.

Zhang Ning, who was standing beside him, smiled and pressed her hands on her shoulder to cancel her:

"Okay, okay, you nag in my ears every day, and I can recite this..."

At this time, Hu Zhao had completely understood the causes and consequences, and finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's right, their failure to assassinate you is equivalent to alerting the enemy, so there will be no more danger in a short period of time..."

At this time, Zhang Ning's expression was not relaxed. She asked Hu Zhao in a very worried tone:

"Mr. Kongming, how is my husband's health now? Although he always said in his reply to me that he was not seriously injured, I have always had a very bad premonition recently and I can't sleep well at night. Nothing happened to him, right?"

Hu Zhao felt very embarrassed when facing Zhang Ning's problem. After a very short ideological struggle, he decided to respect Guo Jia's intentions and pretended to be nothing and replied: "Madam, don't worry, Fengxiao is now in Wuzhong and is actively helping Cao Cao plan the war to guide Liaodong, so he should be very busy recently. He asked me to tell my wife that he will come back once the war is over."

Zhang Ning seemed to feel that Hu Zhao's words were lies to make him feel at ease, but exposing him seemed to make him even more scared, so she accepted it:

"That's right. It's okay if I have Mr. Xun Yu and General Cao Zhen here. Please tell him for me that Youzhou is a bitter and cold place to make him pay attention to his health. Don't force him to hold on. Yi'er and Wei'er and I are waiting for him to come back at home..."

The originally serious and heavy atmosphere was dispersed by Xun Li's sudden interruption:

"Tell me also to tell Chen Qun, let him be more careful in Youzhou alone, I...I'll wait for him to come back..."

Hu Zhao shrugged and smiled helplessly:

"Okay, I'm really busy. In an instant, the bodyguard became a message..."

After saying that, he and Zhang Ning, Xun Li laughed at the same time.
