Chapter 1304 Exploration

The next morning, Ma Chao looked at the sleeping Diao Chan by the bed, and there seemed to be a satisfied smile on his lips. He couldn't help smiling and got up gently after a gentle kiss on Diao Chan's forehead.

As soon as he opened the door, Ma Chao's face froze a little. Because it was no one else standing outside the door, it was the object of his detailed conversation with Diao Chan yesterday: Big Joe.

"You can come back and visit your majesty with me." Big Joe didn't see a strange look on Ma Chao's face and a worried look. After a quick glance at Ma Chao, he said so.

Her tone is also casual, with no intention of asking, as if Ma Chao was sure that he would obey.

In fact, this exchange between the two has been somewhat unusual. In the past, Ma Chao saw Da Qiao's embarrassment and took the initiative to express his concern for a long time. Although Da Qiao has surrendered himself to Ma Chao, it is strange that the relationship between the two is still different from that of men and women in ordinary love. Ma Chao always feels that Big Joe has always dominated this relationship between them. Sometimes, even if the two are friendly, Ma Chao still feels that she is far away from him.

That kind of alienation is psychological. At the same time, it is also a continuation of the relationship between the two in the previous life.

Although Ma Chao's identity is no longer what it used to be, after Qiao called out Ma Chao's inner extravagant overnight. She successfully continued the model of men chasing women in her previous life. Ma Chao was also willing to find a trace of the shadow of her previous life in this era. What's more, Joe was indeed very measured in doing anything, which made this unequal relationship between the two gradually become the norm.

However, today is different. Thinking that Da Qiao was still taking care of Liu Xie yesterday, and he took him to visit Liu Xie without even a greeting this morning. Ma Chao frowned unnaturally and raised an indescribable disgust for Big Joe.

"What's wrong with you?" At this time, Da Qiao, who had taken half a step, finally found Ma Chao's abnormality. She looked back at Ma Chao doubtfully, as if waiting for Ma Chao's answer.

Ma Chao stood quietly at the door and looked at Big Joe's eyes. He felt a little strange and lowered his head. He gently closed the door and said, "It's nothing, but I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm a little hungry."

Ma Chao smiled and even carried the kind of honest and honestness of a previous technician. Seeing this, Da Qiao also smiled, turned around and said with a little apology, "Indeed, I didn't expect this, so let's go to eat together."

After saying that, Big Joe's hand naturally put it in Ma Chao's hand, but at that moment, she obviously felt a trace of resistance in Ma Chao's hand, and then held it softly.

"What's wrong with you today?" Big Joe's eyes were a little solemn, and she let go of Ma Chao's hand. The delicate thoughts of women made her keenly feel that today's Ma Chao is very abnormal.

"I, I..." Ma Chao looked a little embarrassed and a little red. Under the forced look of Da Qiao's phoenix eyes, he quickly fell into the battle and said with some embarrassment, "Junyou, as I said, after the war in Jingzhou, I want to marry you. I received a letter from Chang'an last night, and my aunt has arranged the wedding in Chang'an. But at present, Jingzhou has not been decided. I think I may not be able to take you back to Chang'an to get married for the time being..."

Ma Chao's words are not a lie. The two had made an agreement in Chang'an before, but due to the chaos in Jingzhou, Ma Chao had no time to be distracted for a moment. When he returned last night, he did receive the letter given to him by Diao Chan. Therefore, this reason is used to cover up his anomalies, which is really not easy to be noticed by Big Joe.

The highest level of lies is always three points of falsehood and seven points of truth. Things are true, but if the heart is false, everything will become nonsense.

Big Joe obviously did not expect that Ma Chao would suddenly mention this matter, and his doubts about Ma Chao dissipated under Ma Chao's clear and guilty eyes. On the contrary, after a slight shock, she showed a reluctant look, but then gently burst out a relieved and trusting tolerance at her mouth: "It's important, I'm already yours, this marriage..." Before the end of the words, Big Joe lowered his head shyly.

At this moment, Ma Chao quickly flashed a sneer on his face, but then gently took Big Joe's hand and said guiltily, "I'm sorry..."

"If it's okay, let's have dinner together first." Big Joe snuggled softly on the side of Ma Chao, and a small storm temporarily turned into invisible.

However, the distant back of the two made Diao Chan in the door feel very strange and awkward.

'I have to say that these two people are really from the same world.' Diao Chan smiled and looked at the separated figures, and seemed to be very happy. Then he opened his mouth with a smile and said to the man: "The breakfast is more rich for King Yong. When he comes back from his 'conquest', he will definitely need to make up for it."

After breakfast, Ma Chao and Da Qiao went to Liu Xie's bedroom together.

"Junyou, why did you take me to visit your majesty today?" Ma Chao's original arrangement was to see the unlucky emperor with his own eyes. However, Big Joe happened to come to the door, and it was a little abnormal that he didn't ask questions.

"You, as the king of Yong, heard that your majesty was killed, and I would like to greet you. And the reason why I want to come with you is that his murder this time is too complicated and confusing. I can't get an answer for a day, and I always feel uneasy, as if there is a conspiracy to vaguely surround you. Big Qiao'e frowned slightly and inadvertently returned to her previous state of mind.

Ma Chao comforted her with two words, but he did not say anything about this explanation. After all, Big Joe's explanation is too reasonable. If he is preconceived, he may be dominated by emotions and affect his judgment of the event.

After a short walk, the two got out of the chariot and came to the county guard.

There is no palace in Xiangyang, but Fortunately, Liu Biao's county guard is also magnificent, and Liu Xie's temporary bedroom, after some decoration, is no less than Liu Xie's bedroom in Chang'an.

Ma Chao sighed in his heart when he saw this situation. No matter where Liu Xie or the canary's life went, there was a good cage.

After a fake invitation, Ma Chao came to Liu Xie's hospital bed. At this time, Liu Xie was in a coma. Ma Chao could only judge that Liu Xie was indeed terminally ill with the subtle medical skills he learned from Hua Tuo. After a glance, there was no useful clue at all.

'Is it true that Liu Xie did it himself?' Ma Chao thought to himself and had gently pinched a silver needle in his hand: he didn't have much sympathy for this rich and handsome man. What's more, he knew that Liu Xie had a history of pretending to be ill in those years. At present, he wanted to stab him with a needle to test him...

Yes, this is a small joke between Ma Chao and Liu Xie. As for other crimes that offend the emperor, disrespect and so on, it's all bullshit! - Ma Chao believes that even if Liu Xie is exposed to pretend to be ill, he will not turn against him.

With the cover of the broad imperial uniform, Ma Chao blocked Da Qiao's sight. The place he aimed at was not his place, but Liu Xie's buttocks - I have to say that Ma Chao chose this prank place, and there was indeed a prank mentality. He really wanted to see how Liu Xie's reaction would be afterwards...

With Ma Chao's martial arts skills, he will definitely be fast, stable and accurate, but just as Ma Chao was ready to start, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps outside the door. A guard said eagerly, "Imperial concubine, the king of Yong is exploring..." Then a woman's voice came: "Exploring? Your Majesty is almost killed by Ma Chao. How dare he come here to visit your majesty?!"

"Imperial Concubine?" Ma Chao put away the silver needle in his hand regretfully and looked out of the door with some doubts: there are two imperial concubines of Liu Xie, one is the daughter of Dong Cheng, who was killed by Cao Cao the family and the dragon in his womb the year before last; and the other is...

As soon as Ma Chao got together, he heard the wooden door being pushed away. Cao Jie stepped in angrily and put on his hair, which was completely different from her usual strict makeup and graceful demeanor. When he saw Ma Chao's first face, Cao Jie shouted harshly, "Ma Chao, it's okay for you to make your majesty stay in bed. If you come here today, do you have to cut off the dragon vein of the Han Dynasty with your own hands?"

Ma Chao couldn't help sneering at Cao Jie's behavior today: Although it was his first time to meet Cao Jie, he had read a lot of information about Cao Jie in the shadow. He knew that the imperial concubine was very general and intelligent. After marrying the royal family, he was willing to live behind the scenes and never over political affairs. And at this moment, her anger like a shrew is really different from her early rumors.

Ma Chao didn't think that Cao Jie was suddenly angered and lost his calmness because of Liu Xie's murder... This performance was a little too much. Maybe the clue he wanted may be on her.
