Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 359 Let the envoys have no loneliness, how many people are called emperors and how many are king

The sun has set and the sun is setting.

On the mottled city tower, under the west gate of Xudu City at this moment, there are still a large group of people around, and the noise of people is noisy. It turns out that there are a few wooden boxes hanging on the gate tower above.

Inside are the bloody heads of Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Wu Shuo, Zhong Ji and others.

Countless people and scholars whispered in fear:

——"Cao Sikong even killed the uncle of the country. I heard that the noble concubine and the dragon's heir were also murdered, and what was involved in this incident... Cao Sikong ordered that all the nine clans be punished! This is the first time Cao Sikong has dealt with the Han Dynasty in these years. Ting is so ruthless!"

——"It's no wonder, after all, it was Han Ting who made the first move, so it is reasonable for Cao Sikong to be angry."

——"Hey, people say that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, but now...the world has changed! Nine clans, how many people will be involved in this?"

The words blurted out...

There are groans, there are sighs...

Some scholars even asked in a low voice: "Then? Is the Son of Heaven one of Dong Cheng's nine tribes?"

As he blurted out, someone had already covered the scholar's mouth.

Everyone is tacit, but no one dares to answer!
The so-called nine clans refer to the fourth clan of the father, the third clan of the mother, and the second clan of the wife!
The correct answer is that Emperor Liu Xie is also one of Dong Cheng's nine clans.

At this moment, a civil servant boarded the city gate and read Cao Cao's edict condescendingly:
——"I am Sikong alone, the nobles of people and ministers are extremely high, and my expectations are too high. If I say this alone, if I am arrogant, if I make the country have no orphans, I don't know how many people will be the emperor? How many people will be the king?"

——"Some people think that Gu is strong and prosperous, and say that Gu has the ambition of not being inferior, so there are Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Wu Shuo, and Zhong Ji, who plot to assassinate Gu. It is also a real disaster for not to admire false fame!"

Don't admire the false name but deal with the real disaster...

These words have a bit of a sense of "a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall", or... "It is better to blame others than to let others blame me!"

Among the crowd, there was an old man with a sad face. He stretched out his sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. This man was the former Taiwei Yang Biao. .”

Yang Biao seemed to have drank a lot of wine, and his whole body was on the verge of collapse. Although he tried his best to hide his mood, the tears still soaked the loess!
——"Assuming that the country has no orphans, how many people will be the emperor? How many people will be the king?"

Cao Cao's edict quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Xudu City...

It also spread to the gate of Situ's mansion and to Sima Yi's ears.

The sun is setting, the twilight is shining...

Sima Yi was still standing in front of Situ's mansion and waiting. The five daughters of the Zhen family went in, and the five daughters of the Zhen family came out again, but...there was still no official biography from the Longxiao camp to let Sima Yi enter.

finally…

"Tada" footsteps sounded, it turned out that it was Dian Wei who walked out of the gate.

Sima Yi's eyes lit up, and he hurried to meet him.

"Dian Dutong... President Lu wants to see his disciples?"

Dian Wei replied coldly: "Young Master Lu is gone, go back!"

what…

Sima Yi was taken aback, and he immediately grabbed Dianwei's sleeve. "Dian Dutong please inform me again, just say...just say Tai student Sima Yi really needs to see something urgent!"

Ah…

Dian Wei sneered again. "Do you think this Situ's mansion is the brothel? You can come and enter whenever you want? You are just a student of the imperial court, the son of a criminal minister. Is there anything in Situ's mansion that is no more important than yours?" It's important! Come on, don't force me to do it!"

Sima Yi was helpless and anxious, and suddenly saw Guo Jia walking out of Situ's mansion...

He strode forward, as if he had found the last straw, and bowed in front of Guo Jia.

"Master Guo...please introduce me, let me meet the chief! I...I am willing to die for my father!"

call…

"Die for father?" Guo Jia paused, shaking his head slightly. "Your father's head can be used as an example, but what's the use of your head? It's worthless!"

This…

Sima Yi has nothing to say!
Guo Jia's words came out again, with a bit of deliberation and a bit of meaning: "Zhong Da? The fact that the five daughters of the Zhen family can enter Situ's mansion is full of sincerity, but what about you? Two shoulders and one head? Sincerity? No sincerity? Do you think Lu Situ will meet you?"

"Think about Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu in the past, and then think about you Sima Zhongda today? How can Yang Dezu become Lu Situ's closed disciple? Entrusted with a heavy responsibility! And you are still unwelcome?"

This…

Sima Yi is extremely smart, and he seems to have realized something from Guo Jia's words.

Yang Xiu?Entrusted with important tasks?
Sima Yi?sincerity?

So it was...sincerity?

Now that the disaster of Xiao Qiang has been resolved, what does Lu Situ, or... Cao Sikong want the most?
Suddenly, Sima Yi understood.

——So that's how it is, that's how it is...

He immediately cupped his hands and bowed, as if he felt that such an expression was not enough, he knelt on the ground with a "slap", and hit his head on the floor with a crisp sound!

"What are you doing?" Guo Jia was startled, and Sima Yi kowtowed twice again. "Master Guo pointed out the maze, Sima Yi will never forget it!"

In a word, Sima Yi got up, turned around and mounted the horse... and left!

As the night fell, the Situ Mansion shrouded in shadows became more mysterious and majestic. Occasionally, the sound of Diao Chan and Cai Zhaoji's piano playing together made the Situ Mansion even more unfathomable.

Lu Yu slowly walked out of the main hall...

He hesitated for a moment, and then asked the Long Xiao cavalry beside him.

"Has Fengxiao left?"

"left already!"

"What about Sima Zhongda?" Lu Yu continued to ask.

"Leaving too!" Long Xiaoying's soldier replied truthfully. "He drove away at a fast pace...it seems quite hasty."

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded, and immediately faced the void.

sighed.

"I hope this kid can understand my good intentions, no, if he doesn't understand, he is not Sima Zhongda who is good at going 'dog' to the end!"

Thinking of this... Lu Yu's eyeballs flickered, adding a bit of confidence to his whole body!
Drunkard’s intention is not to drink!
His goal... or Cao Sikong's goal has never been Jing Zhaoyin Sima Fang, but...

Just thought of this...

A soldier from the Long Xiao camp reminded: "Master Lu, just now Miss Cai Yan sent a servant girl to remind me that Mr. Lu needs to go to... the water side tonight!"

Uh…

Hearing this, Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, and immediately came back to his senses.

This is a good sister, she even arranged where to go tonight...

Having said that, the elder and younger Qiao on the Lujiang River, the younger sister is on the small bridge and the older sister is on the side of the water. The two plaques written by Zhong Yao are really appropriate.

...

...

Jingzhaoyin Mansion, Sima Yi stood quietly in the courtyard.

It was late at night, and his spirit was a little sluggish. He raised his head to look at the willow branches on the moon, and saw the crow quacking. He shivered all of a sudden, and staggered to lift a bucket of water!

Poured down suddenly, there is a feeling of enlightenment...

call…

With a long exhalation, he seemed to be poured with cold water, and he became even more calm!
In no other moment than at this moment, he has such a clear grasp of the situation.

"Are you crazy?"

A stream of clouds drifted over to cover the moonlight and the expression of the person who came. This was a woman. Unlike ordinary women, she held a sword in her hand.

Her name is Zhang Chunhua, and she was the daughter of Zhang Wang, the magistrate of Suyi County in the past. Because her father was kind to the Sima family, when she was very young...before her father died of illness, she was married to the second son of the Sima family.

At first...she was quite disdainful of this marriage, and spent several years in the arena, known as "Chun Xiao Tai Sui".

But after all, she didn't want to go against her father's last wish, and married into the Sima Mansion as scheduled. This is already... the second year of her marriage.

Her husband, Sima Yi, is quite timid, and he is always afraid of her. Of course, when it comes to fighting, Sima Yi is not her opponent.

At this moment, Zhang Chunhua stepped out of the pavilion quickly, thrusting his long sword toward his chest.

"Isn't it the master's business! As for this? Tomorrow, I will go to the Dali Temple to rob him. Let's go back to Hanoi together. I don't believe it. In the land of Hanoi? Cao Cao can still be lawless?"

"What do you know..." The rare Sima Yi retorted his wife, "Hanoi is already Cao Sikong's, and in the near future, Hebei and Guanzhong will also become Cao Sikong's, unless we can escape from this big man, otherwise... otherwise…"

"Then... just like you? Sighing, complaining, and doing nothing?" Zhang Chunhua had a very bad temper, and he didn't give Sima Yi any face in his words.

"I... why am I blaming others? I... am I trying to find a way?" Sima Yi said with emotion...

"Then? What's the solution?" Zhang Chunhua continued to ask.

"Yidai Zhao... Yidai Zhao!" Sima Yi immediately chanted: "Whether it is Cao Sikong or Lu Situ, what they want most now is the Yidai Zhao, which is the list on it, so... so To save my father, I must... must..."

"But...where is the clothes belt edict?"

"Here..." Sima Yi's wet hair flicked suddenly, "It's here with me!"

In a word, Sima Yi's eyes widened...

He walked quickly to the door. In fact...he had already thought of all the arrangements before, but he felt that he hadn't considered everything thoroughly enough.

But... now!
He figured it out, figured it all out.

It doesn't matter where the Yidai Zhao is, the important thing is... Lu Situ and Cao Sikong want to use the "Yibei Zhao" to get rid of the people they want to get rid of!

This is the essence of saving your father!
Then...

Who is it that they all want to get rid of?

Suddenly, what emerged in Sima Yi's mind was the green plum field on the outskirts of Xudu, and the one who cultivated it was also very good at hiding his mind - Liu Bei!Liu Xuande!
It doesn't matter where the Yidai Zhao is, nor does it matter whether the name on the Yidai Zhao is true or not... What matters is that Cao Sikong and Lu Situ want Liu Bei's life!
And the father's life must be exchanged for Liu Bei's life.

Tread…

Taking big steps, Sima Yi walked out of Sima Mansion.

Zhang Chunhua stared at him blankly, for a moment, she suddenly felt... her husband is quite a man!
The maid next to her asked Zhang Chunhua in a low voice, "Ma'am? Tell me, Sima Mansion? Can you make it through?"

Zhang Chunhua shook his head slightly.

"It's not quite the past, I'm always with him!"

"There is nothing important in life except death. The children of the Jianghu have no reason to be afraid of death!"

...

...

On the outskirts of Xudu, in the green plum field...

A fruit farmer carrying a pole came here to buy green plums, and Liu Bei greeted him enthusiastically.

"Look, how well these green plums grow... The price is still the same..."

Liu Bei's voice was so loud that not only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two brothers who were completely speechless, could hear it every day, but it was also clear enough for the eyeliners on the periphery.

"Then I'll inspect the goods and see how the green plums look like?"

As he spoke, the vegetable farmer squatted down.

Liu Bei also squatted down, and the two seemed to be discussing the weight and quality of the green plum.

But actually…

The topic between the two started.

"It's such a time, why does His Majesty still send you to come here on an adventure? How is Your Majesty now?"

Whispered words came from Liu Bei's mouth...

That's right, the person who came was Leng Shouguang, the great Changqiu in the palace, and he did come here on a risky basis. The key is... he can't trust others in this matter.

"Your Majesty is very bad. Every day, His Majesty would cry out in pain, saying, 'The big man is about to die. A husband cannot protect his wife, and a king cannot protect his ministers. He is just an ant under his feet!" His Majesty also said from time to time Nonsense, why did Cao Sikong tie him up in this position, and why he refused to let him go!"

As soon as this statement comes out…

Liu Bei's expression darkened completely, the pain of the emperor is his pain!
How could he not feel the same way?

"I also hope that the father-in-law will persuade His Majesty to cheer up..." Liu Bei comforted...

"After Dong Guoshu's imperial edict was leaked, Duke Xuande and Duke Fu are His Majesty's only hopes. Mr. Fu is gathering strength in secret, but Duke Xuande must grow stronger in the open!"

Leng Shouguang's words came out quietly...

Liu Bei's eyes must be fixed, how could he not understand the meaning of these words?In Ming...how in Ming?He has to find a way to escape from Xudu!
"Mr. Xuande, come here with your ears..."

Leng Shouguang greeted, and immediately put his ear next to Liu Bei's ear, and with the cover of the green plum grove, it happened to cover the eyes of those eyeliners.

"xxx, xxx, xxx."

At first... listening to Leng Shouguang's speech, Liu Bei's expression was still calm and composed, but... as the words deepened, his eyes widened in vain, and his chest heaved up and down.

At the end, he subconsciously exclaimed.

--"what…"

It seemed that he had lost his composure in shock, so he hurriedly stood up and explained: "It's obvious that Mei Lin looks better, but why do you want to lower the price? Isn't this dishonest!"

"Hey..." Leng Shouguang also entered the scene in a breath, and he also got up slowly. "Your family's merlins are on the rise, but...others' merlins are also on the rise. It's understandable to lower the price appropriately. If you like to sell it, I'm not willing to accept it!"

"Not for sale!" Liu Bei waved his hand, but winked at Leng Shouguang...

It means that he understands... His Majesty's intention!

Leng Shouguang snorted coldly, "I don't know what's good and what's wrong, so I'm leaving... After a few days, the price will be even lower than today!"

In a word, he picked up the pole, put the vegetable basket on his back, made an angry look, and left...

In fact, it is normal for vegetable and fruit farmers to come to Liu Bei to buy melons and fruits.

Liu Bei grows a variety of varieties in this field, and it's not just green plums. In addition, his reputation for benevolence and righteousness is spread all over the world. There are countless fruit and vegetable farmers who are famous, so it will not arouse suspicion.

Of course, the task received by those peripheral eyeliners is to ensure that Liu Bei stays here in Merlin.

According to Cao Cao's meaning, as long as Liu Bei is still under his nose, he will have no wings, and he will definitely not be able to fly out!

Looking at the back of Leng Shouguang walking away slowly...

Ugh…

Liu Bei sighed lightly, and immediately raised his spirits again.

He greeted: "Second brother, third brother, accompany me into the city..."

"Big brother?"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's expressions froze, and they subconsciously wanted to find Zhang Ba Snake Spear and Qinglong Yanyue Knife.

Liu Bei waved his hand, "Don't bring those, we're going to buy some medicine!"

drug?

Hearing this, Zhang Fei rolled his eyes. "Brother, what are you doing? I went to the city to buy seeds some time ago, and now I'm buying medicine? Is it true that Big Brother plans to settle down in the outskirts of Xudu?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei.

He deliberately raised his voice.

"What's wrong with making a home here? It's beautiful, far away from worldly disputes..."

"In the past, I was fighting against rebellious officials and thieves, but this morning I was fighting with green plums, seedlings, and green onions in this long field? Isn't it a lot of fun and fun?"

Uh…

Zhang Fei was stunned by Liu Bei's words!

After all, he suffered from being uneducated, and he didn't know how to refute, so embarrassing...

On the other hand, Guan Yu, his ever-changing paralyzed face was slightly touched, as if...he had sensed some other deep meaning from the elder brother's words!

"Third brother, don't talk too much, elder brother wants to buy medicine, so let's go buy medicine with elder brother."

Zhang Fei scratched his head and asked curiously, "What kind of medicine do you buy?"

Liu Bei paused for a moment, then whispered softly: "Wu Shi San, I heard that He Yan, Cao Sikong's fake son, has recently become obsessed with a medicine called 'Wu Shi San'. I want to be immortal! For my brother, let’s buy it and give it a try!”

It was...five stone powder?

Hearing this, Guan Yu frowned. Why hasn't he heard of this five stone powder?
Although during this period, Wushi San was not as popular as it was in the "Wei and Jin Dynasties", but...it had already appeared and began to spread in a small area.

And it has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, after taking it, you will be fascinated, as if you are in a cloud, and you will be addicted...

Guan Yu is the most disdainful of such drugs that confuse people's minds. He wanted to persuade his elder brother, but...on second thought, how could elder brother not know?
Maybe this is all in his calculations?

Immediately…

The originally opened mouth closed again, and let out a soft breath...

He also doesn't know... What will the future of the Xu capital city look like, and where should the three brothers go?

...

...

Xu Ducheng, the school office!
The next day was calm...

In the evening of that day, Cao Cao appeared in the school office, followed by an old man wearing a bamboo hat.

"As usual, let's play!"

Following his order... Cao Ren and Cao Hong immediately ordered a group of school officials to fetch scrolls of paintings.

A school official reported back. "Yesterday evening, five women from the Wuji Zhen family in Zhongshan visited Lu Situ, and they seemed to have a good chat. Finally... Lu Situ specially sent Mr. Cao Ang to send them out. Afterwards, the Zhen family sent a large amount of grain and coins to the granary and warehouse respectively! "

As he spoke, he put a scroll on the table, which depicted the five daughters of the Zhen family visiting Lu Yu.

No.2 school report. "It has been found out that there are people sent by His Majesty to the fruit farmers in the plum grove that Liu Bei cultivated on the outskirts of Xudu City. According to Cao Sikong's order, they did not startle the snakes. They have sent more people to ensure that Liu Bei cannot escape from the plum grove!"

The hand scroll unfolds, and it shows Leng Shouguang disguised as a fruit farmer entering the Merlin.

No.3 school affairs report, "Sima Yi went to many places and visited many people yesterday, and his purpose seems to be to find Liu Bei's handwriting, and he also found it from a pawn shop!"

As usual, the scroll unfolds...

It was Sima Yi who went in and out of the pawnshop and got the handwriting written by Liu Bei!

Hearing this, Cao Cao tapped the table with his hand lightly, then turned his head and asked the old man wearing a bamboo hat.

—— "Wenhe? What do you think?"
