Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 472 Is it your fault (4000)

So, just because Liu Bei didn't meddle this time, Boss Cao accepted Lu Bu and adopted Lu Bu as his adopted son?

People in this era may not know it yet, but in later generations, some people have already summed up the most dangerous occupations. It can be said that whoever touches it will be finished.

These high-risk occupations are: Lu Bu's adoptive father, the governor of Soochow, Liu Bei's elder brother and the emperor of Wei.

Although there are some joking elements in this, it is indeed evil.

Lu Bu had two adoptive fathers in total, Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, both of whom died at his hands.

There were a total of four governors in Soochow, all of whom died without exception. The first three died of illness at a young age, and the last one, Lu Xun, was forced to death by Sun Quan.

Liu Bei has a total of five eldest brothers. At first, he recognized Gongsun Zan as his eldest brother, and Gongsun Zan was soon eliminated by Yuan Shao; then he recognized Lu Bu as his eldest brother in Xuzhou, and Lu Bu was killed by Boss Cao during his meddling; after that, Liu Bei defected to Yuan Shao , Yuan Shao was also wiped out by Boss Cao; then Liu Bei defected to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao died of illness within a few days; finally he entered Sichuan to worship Liu Zhang as his eldest brother, and finally Jiu occupied the magpie's nest and drove him away.

Wei Guo had a total of four emperors. The first Cao Pi died of illness at the age of 39, the second Cao Rui was only 36 years old when he died of illness, and the third Cao Fang was abolished by Sima Shi midway, so he lived a little longer. He was only 43 years old when he died of illness, and the fourth Cao Mao was killed at the age of 20.

These four high-risk occupations are either man-made disasters or natural disasters, but without exception, they all give people a feeling that if they want to live longer, they must not touch them, as if there is God's will in the dark.

As a result, Boss Cao became Lu Bu's adoptive father when his career was in full swing. This more or less gave Wu Liang a feeling that Boss Cao was going crazy to death.

It's a pity that Wu Liang wasn't around at the time, so I couldn't figure out what Boss Cao was thinking at that time...

"Xiao Wang said...the sooner this choice is made, the better it will be for Shanshan...Your Excellency, did Xiao Wang say something wrong?"

Wu Liang's reaction startled King Shanshan, and he asked worriedly.

"No, no, your majesty is right."

Wu Liang came back to his senses, changed his smile again and said, "Your Majesty has made the most sensible choice. Under His Majesty's rule, Shanshan Kingdom will surely enjoy long-term peace and stability, which is admirable."

"Your Excellency is absurd."

King Shanshan said with a low eyebrow.

at this time.

"If my father wants to send someone to be a hostage, I would like to follow General Wu to Yanzhou to be the hostage of Governor Cao. I beg my father to do it!"

Prince Chamu suddenly ran to the front and volunteered. This annoying guy had already determined that Wu Liang and the others were strangers with profound Taoism, and wished to witness and learn something related to Taoism by their side.

"you?"

King Shanshan looked sideways at Prince Chamu, with obvious distrust in his eyes, "This matter is no small matter, you should honestly let this king stay in the palace, don't add chaos to affect the relationship between the two countries, I already have If we find a suitable candidate, we will send Siguto (the third prince) to complete the matter!"

The eldest prince "Jiafei" and the fourth prince "Jin Quanzhuo" are both princes that the King of Shanshan has placed high hopes on. One of them is proficient in military art and martial arts, and the other is proficient in Buddhism. They are both popular candidates for the next King of Shanshan. The King of Shanshan is naturally reluctant Send these two proud princes as hostages.

Although the second prince "Chamu" is the son he despises the most, the more so he is, the less he can send him away.

This is like when Wang Qing wanted to marry his barren younger sister to Wu Liang to win him over when he was in Chenliu. For such a stranger with extraordinary ability, it is tantamount to insulting him, and it will only have a counterproductive effect.

That is to say, Wu Liang didn't care too much about this matter, otherwise the two families would have ended up feuding long ago.

The same is true of King Shanshan's move. If he sent a "fool" to Boss Cao as a hostage, it would be too insincere. Boss Cao would definitely not be happy if he knew it. reaction.

Although the third prince Xi Gutuo is a little mediocre, he is neither stupid nor idiot. Honestly, being a hostage with Boss Cao will not be a bad thing.

"Father..."

When Prince Chamu heard this, he became anxious, and quickly puffed up his chest, anxious to argue for himself with a pale face.

"enough!"

King Shanshan interrupted him with a straight face, and sternly shouted, "This is an important matter of the state, and it is not something you can meddle in here. Come here and take Chamu out. This king has important matters to discuss with General Wu." business!"

The voice fell.

"Father, if you promise me, I promise to do better than Siguto, you have to trust me, please..."

The two personal guards had already walked over quickly and made a gesture of invitation to Prince Chamu. Seeing that Prince Chamu still refused to move, they had to bite the bullet and hold his arm to force him out.

"..."

During this process, Wu Liang naturally ignored Prince Chamu's eyes asking for help.

Wu Liangshang can't say whether this guy will be a bad thing, but he is really annoying. For the sake of his own clean ears, Wu Liang will not take him with him, even if it is only a few months on the way back, Wu Liang doesn't want to Stay with him...even among the princes of Shanshan, he is most familiar with Prince Chamu.

……

So far, the serious matter has been discussed, and after exchanging a few words with King Shanshan, Wu Liang and others retreated.

Then they went to see Dr. Apuqiu again, and said goodbye to him in advance.

The current situation needs to be explained to Dr. Apqiu, so that he can worry about the future and not let the people who helped him be frightened.

of course.

By the way, I also want to meet Mr. Yassin who is currently Apuqiu's servant.

With Dr. Apuqiu as a person, being a servant by his side is also a good choice. Since Mr. Yassin is unwilling to find another way out, Wu Liang will naturally not force it, let alone make his own claims.

He just suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask Mr. Yassin again.

"What's the matter, Your Excellency?"

After seeing Dr. Apuqiu, Mr. Yassin quietly followed Wu Liang out from the back door under the inspiration of Wu Liang's eyes, and met Wu Liang.

"Mr. Yassin, when you entered the wooden coffin of the 'Tomb of the Sun' altar, did you ever put a turtle shell with runes on it?"

Wu Liang asked.

"Turtle shell?"

Yassin looked puzzled, "What turtle shell?"

"So it should be gone?"

Wu Liang has already got the answer to the question.

"No, I have never heard of any turtle shells. When entering the wooden coffin of the 'Tomb of the Sun' altar, it is even more impossible to carry any turtle shells. I don't know why your Excellency asked this question."

Yassin said seriously.

"I understand……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

It seems that Fang Qiong also lied about the "Nightmare Art".

In fact, he had expected it, because according to Fang Qiong, she was the one who discovered the wooden coffin in the altar of the Tomb of the Sun when she was dying, and then opened the lid of the wooden coffin by herself, and first took out the turtle shell placed on the chest of Yassin's corpse , "woke up" Yassin when he picked up the emerald ring, and then fled in fright.

According to Yassin, when Fang Qiong was dying, Yassin felt compassion, so he guided Fang Qiong into the wooden coffin to rescue her, but no one thought that she would avenge her kindness in the end and wanted to kill him.

Compared with Fang Qiong, Wu Liang is naturally more willing to believe Yassin's rhetoric.

Therefore, regarding the "Nightmare Art", Wu Liang is naturally more inclined that Fang Qiong lied.

There may not be any tortoise shell at all, and the origin of the "Nightmare Art", with Fang Qiong's death, naturally became an unresolved case with no results.

But this is actually not that important to Wu Liang.

Regardless of whether it was Yassin who lied or Fang Qiong who lied, the "Nightmare Art" has come to an end on their line.

At this moment, Yassin gave up the ability of "resurrecting from the dead". Even if he lied, the "Nightmare Art" was transmitted from him, and he would not pass it on to others, after all, he is also "" A person who is about to die", a "person who is about to die" has the most peaceful state of mind, the most desireless, even if he tells a lie, it will only be to cut off the "Nightmare Art".

As for Fang Qiong's words, there is no need to say more, she has nothing...

Naturally, Wu Liang didn't have much interest in the "Nightmare Art". Even if this thing was put in front of him, he would definitely not learn it, and the Huan army would not allow it to learn it.

Even in order not to teach this sorcery to harm people, he might destroy it like he did the "Incense Sutra".

But it is undeniable.

The "Nightmare Technique" has never ceased. Even in later generations, there are still rumors that people are using this kind of magic to harm people. Although Wu Liang can't judge whether it is true or not, he believes that many things should not be groundless.

But in fact he also understands.

What has never been cut off is not the "terrorist art", but the greed and evil of human nature.

Even if there is no "Nightmare Art", some people will come up with other ways to do those outrageous things in order to satisfy their own desires.

……

The next day, King Shanshan had already prepared the materials needed for Wu Liang's return journey.

In addition, he also prepared an extra carload of precious gold and jade objects, saying that this was a tribute gift he dedicated to Boss Cao, and hoped that Wu Liang could bring it to Boss Cao, and say a few words for him by the way. .

Naturally, Wu Liang accepted everything he ordered, and with his personality, it was considered too generous for him not to ask for it this time.

It's just that when he was about to set off, there was still a little trouble.

The third prince Xi Gutuo, who was handpicked by King Shanshan to go to the Central Plains with Wu Liang and others as a hostage, suddenly vomited and had diarrhea. I'm afraid I'm going to die on the road if I'm not careful...

King Shanshan had no choice but to change people temporarily, so he asked people to find the fifth prince.

As a result, the fifth prince was so drunk last night that he accidentally broke his leg and couldn't get out of bed at all. Several people had to take care of him, so naturally he couldn't walk a long way.

Not to mention the sixth prince.

This child is considered to be the son of the king of Shanshan. He is only four years old this year. He can't even speak well when he is away from his mother, and he has not been weaned since he was favored. How about sending them there, not to mention how honorable Wu Liang and the others are, can you teach them to be responsible for wiping the child's nose and feeding the baby along the way?

As for the eldest prince "Jia Fei" and the fourth prince "Jin Quanzhuo", King Shanshan was reluctant...

So got stuck.

"Father..."

Prince Chamu seemed to have known that this situation would happen, and moved closer to King Shanshan with a look of "hell if I don't go to hell".

"Is it your fault?"

King Shanshan suddenly realized something, and said with displeasure.

"Father is wronged. Although I have been stubborn since I was a child, I am notoriously timid. Even if I have the courage of a bear, I will never dare to do such a rebellious thing, not to mention that this is a major event related to the national destiny of Shanshan. , how dare the child act recklessly in such a matter!"

Prince Chamu quickly defended himself, but unfortunately even a blind man could see that this kid was holding back a laugh, and it was so painful that he almost turned his face to laugh out loud.

"If I teach this king to know that you are related to these things, I will make you look good!"

King Shanshan gritted his teeth and said.

"I dare not, my father can ask the third and fifth younger brothers to confront me. If it is really related to the child, the child is willing to go to the gallows outside the city to apologize to the father!"

Prince Chamu immediately made a solemn statement.

"Ugh……"

King Shanshan finally sighed helplessly, looked at Wu Liang and said with an apologetic expression, "This...General Wu, although I am very worried about the matter now, I am afraid that the only way to teach Chamu to follow General Wu back to the Central Plains It's a matter of course, I have to trouble General Wu to discipline me along the way. If this son is misbehaving and doesn't know the depth of it, please General Wu don't care about his status as a prince. He should be beaten or scolded as he pleases. Xiao Wang only hopes that this son will be in front of Governor Cao. Be honest, don’t teach Governor Cao to question Xiao Wang’s sincerity, so it’s not good to have a suspicion.”

"Well, I'll do my best."

Wu Liang also thought it would be a good thing to bring a hostage back, but unfortunately it would be unsightly if the hostage was replaced by Chamu, but now he has no choice, so he nodded.

But although this guy talks too much and is annoying, and he has "social bullying syndrome" who doesn't know what embarrassment is, Wu Liang is not helpless to deal with him.

"Father, don't worry, the child will not disgrace his life!"

Prince Chamu happily joined Wu Liang's queue.

"Chamu..."

Not far away, a middle-aged woman in bright clothes yelled with red eyes.

"Mother, the child will return safely, take care..."

At this moment, the bastard-like smile on Chamu's face froze for a moment, and there was a gleam of water in his eyes, and then he knelt down solemnly, and kowtowed to the lady and King Shanshan.

This guy is two in two, but he's not really stupid...

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Huan army looked at him with admiration.

Wu Liang didn't urge him either, but quietly watched Prince Chamu finished kowtowing, got up and came to his own formation, and finally saluted: "Your Majesty, we will meet later."
