The sky was getting brighter, and the black ink clouds in the east slowly turned white. At this time, there was almost no trace of personal information on the streets and alleys of Xu County. Only Sima Yi was sitting next to the stone pillar at the gate of the East City, staring blankly at the direction where Cai Jue left.

"It's so strange. Last night you tried your best to convince Hu Zhao to send her out of the city to treat her injuries. Why are you so reluctant to leave now?"

At some point, Guo Jia stood behind him. Sima Yi noticed his footsteps and did not look back at him. He still stared at the distance: "The wound on her body is extremely deep. If it weren't for our Mr. Hu Zhao who had the foresight and had kept the Yang Yao who stayed in Zhong's mansion by her, she would probably have no chance to leave the city gate alive."

Guo Jia listened quietly to what Sima Yi said, and knew in his heart that his judgment was correct:

"Indeed, Dong Cheng has not woken up yet, so his subordinates who don't know the ins and outs do not know about his assassination and have not blocked the city gate. It happened that Mr. Hua Tuo was ready to return home, so he asked him to leave early and ask his Fu Jue'er to leave the city safely while the moonlight is in the face of the moonlight. It would be very dangerous if she was left in Xu County for treatment."

"Not only that, she will not forget her hatred if she continues to stay here. The assassination of Dong Cheng will happen..."

Looking at Sima Yi's silent expression, Guo Jia asked: "What kind of feelings do you hold towards her?"

Sima Yi still looked at him and did not answer him. Perhaps deep down he was not willing to tell anyone what happened on the eaves that night. Although he wanted to get in the car and go with him last night, he was already within Dong Cheng's surveillance range. If he disappeared at this time, it would cause trouble for Zhong Yao who had let him live in.

Guo Jia, who saw through Sima Yi's thoughts, understood his true thoughts:

"If you just hold guilt, responsibility or sympathy, you'd better not approach her again."

Sima Yi only looked up at him at this time. Although he felt that Guo Jia was speaking very resolutely and left little room for Sima Yi, Sima Yi had no reason to refute and could only remain silent and lower his head again.

Perhaps even he himself didn't know what kind of emotion he was holding towards Cai Jue.

At the east of the sunrise, Guo Jia turned around and patted Sima Yi on the shoulder:

"A new day begins, we're leaving."

The two returned to Zhong Mansion in parallel, and saw a lineup of honor guards at the door from a distance. Sima Yi turned his head and asked Guo Jia:

"What? Are there any important people coming today?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said that he was not clear. When they walked to the door of Zhong Mansion, the father-in-law who had been waiting there saw Sima Yi, he stepped forward and asked politely:

"I dare to ask if it's Mr. Zhongda?"

"Mr. Zhongda?" After hearing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but clench his right fist with a slightly lower fist under his nose to cover his smile.

Sima Yi, who had no time to pay attention to Guo Jia, glanced at him coldly and replied to his father-in-law:

"It's Sima Zhongda, how dare you ask your father-in-law what he is looking for me?"

Seeing that it was Sima Yi, the father-in-law passed the imperial decree smiled and said, "After the order of Your Majesty, I will come and invite Mr. Zhongda to enter the palace to see the emperor."

"Your Majesty wants to see me?"

Sima Yi couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and Guo Jia's expression became a little serious after hearing this.

My father-in-law nodded:

"That's right, Your Majesty knows that you have arrived in Xu County and miss you very much. He specially asked the villain to come to Zhong Mansion to invite you to the palace for a lecture."

As he said that, he pointed his hand at the car behind him and said:

"Look, the car driver is ready for you."

Seeing that the car was clearly used by the emperor, although Guo Jia heard Sima Yi mention his relationship with Liu Xie when he was helping Liu Xie return home, he never thought that Liu Xie would use such high-standard etiquette to summon Sima Yi into the palace.

When he got into the car and faced his childhood friend Liu Xie who was about to meet him, Sima Yi felt nervous inexplicably excited, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

It seems that after the passage of time, what I want to meet is no longer my former close friend...

When passing by the street, two rows of soldiers rushed out from the side, clamoring to close the major city gates in Xu County to search for assassins.

Sima Yi lifted up the brocade curtain and took a cold look, then put it down again, thinking that Dong Cheng must have woken up.

Fortunately, Cai Jue was arranged to leave the city last night, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if Hu Zhao had threatened him with a secret letter written by Dong Cheng, the current situation, whether he was himself or Hu Zhao or Guo Jia, he did not have the courage to gamble.

Guided by the palace servants, Sima Yi passed through the palace garden and headed to the Imperial Book Hall where Liu Xie was. When he passed by a palace, he accidentally heard a very familiar voice.

For this reason, he paused to look into the room through the open window:

I saw a gorgeously dressed Fu Ruoxin sitting in front of the table and writing something very seriously. The person standing next to him was Zhong Yao. He held the calligraphy slip in his hand and looked down at Fu Ruoxin who was writing, and bent down from time to time to point out the inadequate parts of her calligraphy. However, Zhong Yao, who was always conceited and picky to her, had a very high-minded look at her.

At this moment, Fu Ruoxin raised his head and accidentally discovered Sima Yi standing by the window and also looking at him.

Although it had been a long time since, Fu Ruoxin still recognized the man who rescued him from the dead at a glance. She was sure that she would never admit her mistake, and she suddenly felt inexplicably excited about this.

Regardless of Zhong Yao beside her, she put down her pen and turned around and put on her shoes, ran out quickly.

However, when she ran out, she did not see Sima Yi, and there was nothing around the window.

Is it an illusion? No, it must be him, she was so confident in her heart.

When Sima Yi arrived in front of the Imperial Book Hall, he became more and more nervous. The palace people stepped aside and bent down to salute him:

"Mr. Zhongda, please, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside."

He pushed his hands forward, and with a creaking sound, the door opened to both sides. Sima Yi walked across the threshold and walked in.

The room was surprisingly quiet without a trace of sound, so accurate that Sima Yi, who had always been close to Liu Xie, felt very awkward, and even felt like he wanted to turn around and escape quickly.

He looked around and wanted to find out Liu Xie's trace, but he also tried to call Liu Xie's name:

"Your Majesty, Sima Yi is summoned to see you."

No one responded to him. When Sima Yi walked to a red painted pillar with a curtain, he suddenly rushed out from behind the pillar a man in white with a mask, holding a long sword in his hand and stabbed Sima Yi behind...

Sima Yi reacted in time. When he turned around, he was about to aim his short arrow at the enemy and fired it, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly subconsciously took back the Wuyu Meteor.

The opponent pressed the tip of the sword against his neck, which was very close. As long as he moved forward a little force, he would pierce Sima Yi's throat. However, at this time his movements were stalemate there and there was no movement for a long time.

When Sima Yi looked at his mask and guessed his true identity, the man reached out and took off the mask...

"His Majesty..."

When Sima Yi took off his mask, he already knew who he was. Because the familiar smell of each other after being together for a long time made Sima Yi not fight back against Liu Xie, so it was not surprising that he was not very surprised.

Liu Xie threw the mask next to him and smiled at Sima Yi as usual:

"Long time no see, Zhongda..."
