Dongjiang Tower seemed to be burning huge fireballs burning until the early morning. Although Sima Yi rushed in desperate attempts, he was stopped by Sima Lang. The excited Sima Yi didn't care about so much at all. Seeing that he could not convince him, Sima Lang waved Sima Yi and slapped Sima Yi loudly:

"I have lost a younger brother. Do you want me to lose another one? Think about Chunhua and your unborn children!"

Sima Lang's roar seemed to be a heavy hammer hit Sima Yi's head. Suddenly, the strength of his legs seemed to be drained and sat on the ground, watching the Dongjiang Tower collapse after burning out.

Just when the Sima family fell into deep sadness for Sima Fu to be swallowed by the fire, Sima Fang, who was rushing to the horse, saw this scene: thick smoke was emitting from the huge ruins, and the people's doors used buckets to put out the fires in the ruins, and the Sima family, who were standing not far from the ruins, seemed to have their souls left their bodies.

"Father..."

Seeing Sima Fang's deliberate suppression of sadness, Sima Lang knelt in front of him:

"It's because I didn't take good care of my brother, and the child is unfilial!"

When Sima Fang turned his gaze to Sima Yi, who was kneeling on the ground and staring blankly at the direction of the ruins, his deep sense of self-reproach continued to surge in his heart.

Hu Zhao's Zhu Ran in his hand still left. You must bless him with peace and safety..."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Sima Yi and Fu Ruoxin stepped on the horse, and Zhang Chunhua said to Fu Ruoxin:

"Miss Ruoxin, the journey here is long. I'm sorry to take good care of my husband..."

Fu Ruoxin looked at Sima Yi and nodded: "I know, please don't worry, madam."

Watching Sima Yi and Fu Ruoxin ride away, Zhang Chunhua suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart for some reason...

Under the arrangements between Fu Ruoxin and Fu Shou, Sima Yi successfully sneaked into the palace as an internal supervisor and avoided Cao Cao's eyeliner to investigate, Sima Yi met with Liu Xie in Deyang Palace.

After several years, when the two met each other again, they felt a lot, so that Sima Yi actually forgot that he should kneel down. When he came to his senses, he realized his misconduct and hurriedly knelt down, but Liu Xie reached out to hold his arms:

"This is not outside, there is no need to be such a polite relationship between you and me."

During the discussion, Sima Yi asked about Cao Cao's southern expedition to Jingzhou, and Liu Xie smiled bitterly:

"At this time, all the military and political power of the court was in the hands of Cao Cao, and I had no power to compete with him at all. I have told you in my letter that if Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, then I am afraid that I, the emperor, will be over."

Sima Yi patted Liu Xie's back of the hand and comforted him: "Your Majesty, you don't need to panic. According to my opinion, the situation in Jingzhou is not that simple, and Liu Biao would not be so willing to give in to the Jingxiang land that had been ruled for many years. If Liu Biao starts war with Cao Cao, Sun Quan from Jiangdong will be very likely to be involved and cooperate with Liu Biao to fight against Cao Cao."

"But Sun Quan and Liu Biao have a grudge against killing their father. Sun Quan seized Jiang Xia some time ago. Will they really join forces?"

Regarding the feasibility of the Sun-Liu alliance, Liu Xie believes that it is not that easy.

"Your Majesty underestimates Sun Quan too much. Judging from his ability to handle various practices in the past, he is a person with courage and strategy. If Jingzhou is captured by Cao Cao, Sun Quan may well understand that the next person Cao Cao wants to deal with will definitely be himself."

As he said that, Sima Yi spread the map on the ground and pointed to the Jiangdong territory controlled by Sun Quan to explain to Liu Xie:

"Jingzhou is located in the west of Jiangdong. Cao Cao already controlled Xuzhou and Yuzhou in the northeast of Jiangdong. Once Jingzhou is captured, Jiangdong will fall into an unfavorable situation of encirclement on three sides. How could Sun Quan not see it?"

After hearing Sima Yi's explanation, Liu Xie nodded, but he was still worried about the instability of the situation:

"At present, as long as Xun Yu is concerned about me, Cao Cao seems to have anticipated this, so Xun Yu is not taking him to the south to fight. Looking at Cao Cao, there is not even a single confidant of me."

After pondering for a while, Sima Yi said to Liu Xie:

"Cao Cao always wanted to recruit me as his counselor. I repeatedly rejected him because he had a disobedient heart. Today, I pretended to be loyal to him for His Majesty, followed him south, and then look for opportunities to defeat his ambitions from within."

"This is not possible!" Liu Xie thought Sima Yi's actions were too dangerous:

"What a person Cao Cao is? I am grateful that you are willing to come and give me advice. Never enter the tiger's den."

Sima Yi stood up from Liu Xie and walked to him, kneeling and bowing:

"Your Majesty, I made a vow before you, wishing to be loyal to you for life. Today is the time for me to fulfill my promise. It is dangerous to be by Cao Cao's side, but I have the confidence to protect myself. Please help me."

Seeing that Sima Yi's tone was so firm, Liu Xie walked up and helped Sima Yi up, looking at him emotionally:

"Zhongda..."

Just when Liu Xie and Sima Yi met, the people in Xudu who were responsible for monitoring Sima Yi under the order of Cao Cao, lost his whereabouts. They searched everywhere on the roof of the palace tower but found nothing.

One of them said to another person beside him:

"I clearly saw Sima Yi walking into the palace, but why did it disappear in a blink of an eye?"

"Oops."

Another person answered:

"How can we report to the Prime Minister in this way?"

Just as they were anxious about losing Sima Yi’s whereabouts, a man’s voice suddenly came not far behind them: “Don’t worry, Sima Yi is in the palace.”

Out of alert instinct, the two of them quickly turned around and drew out the sword they wanted to see:

"Who!"

What caught their eyes was a man wearing a gray windbreaker and a hat, sitting comfortably with his back on his back.

Faced with Spy Cao's questioning, the man in the hat reached out and lowered the edge of the hat a little, and a strange arc appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"You ask me who I am? Well... what should I say? It should be considered the so-called mastermind in your mouth..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two spies who Cao Cao had been following Sima Yi had been secretly stalking and fell to the ground in an instant, without any reaction.

The man in the hat raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and smiled and stretched out his hand to cover it:

"Although I am the mastermind behind the scenes, if I lose the key to collapse in this troubled world, it will be a big deal. So I can't let others disturb the situation now, let alone kill him..."

At this time, Guo Huai and five other people stood in front of the man with a sharp sword in their hands. The man with a mysterious smile always stood up, and slowly reached out to take off the hat on his head:
Chapter completed!
