Looking at the night, he felt even more sad.

If we say that the ease with which he talked with Taichu during the day allowed Sima Zhao to temporarily escape heavy pressure.

Then, Master Sima's words brought him back to the cruel reality.

What made him feel even more cruel was being woken up in the middle of the night:

"Langjun, Erlangjun!"

"What's the matter?"

Sima Zhao was so fascinated by the lake that he still didn't want to open his eyes.

"Something big has happened. There may be something wrong with the Xiahou family!"

"Xiahou clan? What Xiahou clan?"

Sima Zhao, who was sleeping on the couch, was not fully awake yet and could not react for a while.

"Someone from the Xiahou family may have escaped from Luoyang!"

"What!"

Sima Zhao heard clearly this time and suddenly sat up, "Who ran away? Xiahou Taichu?"

"No, they are from the Xiahou Mao and Xiahou Wei families."

When Sima Zhao heard that it was not Xia Houxuan, Sima Zhao still breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately raised his voice again.

Xia Houmao and Xia Houwei ran away, that is not a trivial matter!

"Didn't I ask you to monitor them? How could they escape? When did they escape?"

Some of the spy leaders who came to report were:

"It should be that before closing the city gate, he mixed with the caravan and followed him out of the city..."

Caravan?

Sima Zhao had completely woken up and immediately remembered that this was indeed the case.

If I remember correctly, the two caravans leaving the city had orders issued by me personally.

Thinking of this, Sima Zhao couldn't help being shocked and angry. He pushed away the maid who was dressing him and put on his boots indiscriminately.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand to tie his belt and started to walk outside. At the same time, he asked:

"Have you sent someone to chase him?"

"Erlangjun, it is Yinshi now, the city gate is closed, no one can leave the city unless the eldest gentleman gives the order."

Sima Zhao, who had only taken two steps, had to stop when he heard this. Only then did he realize that it was still dark outside.

"Yinshi?"

"Exactly."

Obviously, Xia Houmao and Xia Houwei wanted to create such a time difference so that the pursuers could not catch up in time.

And if you want to send someone to catch up at this time, you need to inform your brother.

Thinking of my brother's physical condition...

He was already angry when he got out of bed, but when he heard the news again, Sima Zhao couldn't help but cursed in an extremely rude manner: "A common man!"

Then he glared fiercely at the spy leader, his eyes ready to spit fire:

"How do you do things!"

The spy leader lowered his head and dared not speak.

Seeing his subordinate's appearance, Sima Zhao became even more furious. He picked up the teapot on the table next to him and smashed it:

"Trash! What's the use of waiting for you!"

The spy leader did not dare to hide and watched helplessly as the teapot hit him.

Fortunately, the tea had cooled down, and apart from the clothes and quilt being a little wet, no harm was done.

In fact, the secret agent also felt a little aggrieved.

Although the three Xiahou clans cannot freely enter and leave Luoyang City, in the past few years, they have received orders to focus on monitoring Xiahou Xuan and not allow him to leave Luoyang.

As for Xia Houmao and Xia Houwei, they were put under surveillance simply because of their surname "Xiahou".

Not to mention that Xia Houmao has been in and out of the Taifu's house many times over the years, and was even received by the Taifu.

As for Xia Houwei, he explained things in simple terms and couldn't be more content.

There are many Cao clan members in Luoyang City, and their surveillance level is higher than these two.

In addition, Luoyang has been in chaos these past few days, which has made the secret agents even more exhausted.

The surveillance of Xia Houmao and Xia Houwei was naturally relaxed.

Besides, when Xiahou Mao's caravan left the city, it was under the orders of the Taifu's Mansion. Who wouldn't have the foresight to investigate?

The most important thing is that when Xia Houxuan came to the Taifu's house during the day, it was you, the second master, who personally welcomed him in, and you personally sent him out afterwards.

The key personnel under surveillance have never been out of sight. Who could have expected that something like this would happen?

It's just these words that the spy leader would definitely not dare to say.

Sima Zhaoyu was still angry. He walked back and forth a few steps. For a moment, he didn't know whether to tell Master Sima now.

But soon, he no longer had to hesitate.

Because another servant came to report:

"Erlangjun, Dalangjun, please come over."

Sima Zhao's heart sank. Knowing that this matter had been known to his brother, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to see Master Sima.

"Brother..."

"Xia Houmao and Xia Houwei ran away."

Master Sima had already sat up under the service of his maid. When he saw Sima Zhao coming, he said this with a pout before he could finish his words.

Sima Zhao looked ashamed: "My little brother is incompetent."

"Everything in Luoyang is chaotic, you don't have much experience, and these two are not important people. It's no big deal if they run away."

Master Sima was much more indifferent than Sima Zhao, "As long as Xia Houxuan doesn't run away."

Master Sima's single eye was shining brightly as he stared at Sima Zhao: "Do you know what we should do now?"

Although he only had one eye, Sima Zhao did not dare to look directly:

"Brother is saying that we should send people to chase him immediately?"

Master Sima shook his head:

"I said that Xia Houmao and Xia Houwei have nothing to do with the overall situation. Besides, it's late at night. Even if we send people out of the city, where should we pursue them?"

"Opening the city gate at night will do no good except cause rumors and increase panic. Zishang, I am ordering you to personally lead people to arrest Xia Houxuan."

Sima Zhao was shocked: "Brother?!"

Master Sima's single eye hid a trace of passion and a trace of twisted excitement:

"Don't you realize it by now? Xia Houxuan came here today for another purpose?"

Sima Zhao just lacks experience, but it doesn't mean he doesn't understand anything.

But in his heart, he tried hard not to think about that.

But Master Sima's outspokenness finally broke his illusion.

"Go quickly!"

Master Sima raised his voice: "Sir, please don't be kind to women!"

PS: Before returning to my hometown, I had been worried about whether my children would have any problems traveling during the peak period of Fuyang. Fortunately, they were safe and sound.

After returning from my hometown, I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief, but I didn't know that my child started to have a low fever from the next day.

The hospital told me not to go there until 38.5, because there are all children with fevers there, and even the beds are full.
