Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 411 Cao Cao's Yan Wenlu, the scandal of the illegitimate child

This…

Cao Cao's eyes are slightly fixed, is he worthy of others?But he was ashamed of Lu Yu... How should he make up for what he said?

It's so embarrassing!

Of course, how could Cao Cao not know it? Now that he has recovered from his headache, he is dying from a splitting headache just now... the form is completely different.

Nowadays, it is not a good time to reveal the identity of "Yu'er", not to mention that there is no foundation, can Yu'er accept it?
Only Mrs. Ding's side, the Ding clan's side, and... the rules passed down for thousands of years are all obstacles.

more than this…

It's nothing for Cao Cao to tell about "Yu'er's body", but Yu'er...maybe really become a thorn in the side of some people, a thorn in the flesh, and the Han court will make a big fuss about it!
This…

The more he thought about it, the more complicated Cao Cao's expression became.

"Cao Sikong..."

Lu Yu is still asking...

After all, he was very curious about this matter. What did Lao Cao do to apologize to him?It's impossible to...secretly give Sister Zhaoji to...

Ahem...

I can't imagine it, I can't...

If this is the case, Lu Yu must screw Lao Cao's head off!This is intolerable!
It just so happened that before he could say that, Xun Yu was the first to say: "Cao Sikong, Xun has an important military matter, which is extremely confidential, and needs to be reported to Cao Sikong."

Xun Yu blinked his eyes while speaking... as if he was winking at Cao Cao, this is to "take a step to speak"!
Cao Cao didn't know, so...

But at this time, it's just a good time to divert Lu Yu's attention, and it's good to take a step to talk, at least...you can weigh more about Yu'er's identity, should I say it, should I say it or not!

"Since it's an important matter for military aircraft, we can't delay it..."

This is out of the way...

Others in the bedroom understood and said goodbye.

Cao Cao ordered: "Wait and go to the main hall... After I discuss with Xun Lingjun, let's discuss the matter in the main hall!"

"Here!" A group of people, including Lu Yu, agreed and left the pavilion one after another.

On the other hand, Xun You, before leaving... gave Cao Cao a meaningful look, and then glanced at his uncle Xun Yu. He seemed to... understood what his uncle was going to say at once.

...

...

Jizhou, Yecheng.

An ordinary restaurant.

Sima Yi stepped into the main entrance and sat at a table.

"Little Second!"

Shouting all over, Sima Yi put his fingers on the table and kept beating, and after a while, the waiter came running quickly.

"Grandfather? What do you want?"

"One catty of rice wine, three taels of dog meat, three taels of mutton, and three taels of venison! The wine needs to be cooked, and the meat needs to be cold! Wrap it up, and I'm on my way!"

Sima Yi blurted out.

The voice just fell...

Xiao Er was startled, and then quickly asked: "Master, there are so many, how many meals are you eating?"

"One meal today, another meal tomorrow, someone will treat me to a banquet the day after tomorrow!" Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and replied with a smile. .

"Come on..."

The little girl yelled and went to prepare. When he turned around... he paused deliberately, as if he was waiting for something.

And at this moment, Sima Yi's words came out one after another.

——"Xiao Er, do you think it will rain today?"

While asking questions, Sima Yi turned his head to the sky...

Xiao Er's eyes must be, he turned around and smiled and replied: "Not today, but tomorrow!"

As he said that, he went to the back kitchen in no time. Sima Yi had already prepared all the money he wanted, and he picked them up. Sima Yi generously left half a bag of copper coins, and walked out of the winery gate. .

It's just that he led the horse around the streets and alleys, and then returned to the wine shop!
...this time to the back door.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Knocked on the door three times rhythmically...

A hoarse voice came from inside the door.

—— "It's hot weather, guest officer, do you want to come and taste our tea?"

——"It's good to eat a bowl of green porridge in the morning and morning. Why do you need tea?"

Sima Yi replied without thinking.

This is a code, specially given by Chief Lu...

In order to ensure... the safe and efficient detection of intelligence by the local espionage, Chief Lu specially compiled a lot of complicated "joint codes". With these, it is easy to distinguish the enemy from the comrade-in-arms!
Sima Yi's voice fell...

With a "kuang", the back door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a man in black with a hood poked his head out. He looked Sima Yi up and down carefully, and asked in a low voice.

"From the south?"

"Exactly!"

Hearing the affirmative answer, the man in the hood looked around to make sure that there was no one around, and then pulled Sima Yi into the wine shop!
...

Not as Sima Yi expected...

In this seemingly ordinary wine cellar, there is a secret door in the underground wine cellar, open the secret door, and there is a secret room in it.

at this time…

The shopkeeper of the restaurant led Sima Yi into it.

Sima Yi noticed that there were five or six men around a table in the secret room, some of them were dressed in Confucian robes, some looked like butchers, some even wore a turtle hat on their waists, and even more The person...a man, with another knife on his waist, seems to be...a local officer and soldier!

Sima Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered in his heart, these are the secret tasks sent by Chief Lu in Jizhou!
Indeed... as Sima Yi expected.

These men from all walks of life and all kinds of people have passed countless information to Cao Ying.

Can…

"Careful work" is not complete!
Because, including the shopkeeper of this wine shop, these people had been instructed by "Yin Lin" in the early years to escape from the Beihai Kingdom, where the yellow scarves were the most violent, and fled to the relatively peaceful city of Jizhou.

The fellow villagers died in Beihai in vain, but they, by luck... took a life.

Later, when they heard that Yinlin was in Caoying, they volunteered and offered to convey information about Yecheng, Jizhou to Caoying!
After careful calculation, it has been two years, and they are all loyal and reliable people.

Sima Yi, on the other hand, was dressed in a black robe, cloak, and bamboo hat, looking extremely mysterious.

He walked in front of everyone and said with his hands clasped.

"Sima Yi, a student of the Xiatai, has met all the seniors."

"You are Sima Zhongda sent by Lu Situ? Are you?" the shopkeeper of the restaurant said.

"Exactly." Sima Yi nodded...

These people had no doubt that they had received the letter from Lu Yu before, and knew that there would be such a "guest". Similarly, they also knew the mission of this "guest".

In addition, the password can be matched completely, ensuring nothing goes wrong.

"The information about Xu You and Xu's family is all on the table that I can find out. Mr. Sima may wish to take a closer look. If you have any questions... I'm here, and I can answer you at any time!"

When doing this work of collecting intelligence, everyone is used to not talking nonsense, but straight to the point...

This time, everyone knows what Lu Situ sent Sima Yi to do, and he will fully cooperate.

"It's work."

Sima Yi groaned softly, and then unfolded a bamboo slip on the table.

This is a bamboo slip that records "Xu You"'s early life experience. It turned out that as early as 15 years ago, in the first year of Zhongping... Xu You and Jizhou Governor Wang Fen wanted to take advantage of Emperor Hanling's northern tour to prevent black mountain bandits. Send troops...in order to start an incident, but in the end Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty stopped him and called him into the court. Wang Fen was afraid and committed suicide...Xu You and others fled.

From then on, Xu You hugged Yuan Shao's thigh tightly and became Yuan Shao's extremely trusted Ruying clan.

This information is somewhat helpful for Sima Yi to understand Xu You's personality, but...it's not critical.

Sima Yi put down the bamboo slips, and immediately picked up another one.

Quickly unfold...

It just so happened that this bamboo slip was not unfolded, but when it was unfolded, Sima Yi's eyes froze for an instant, and his expression froze.

This bamboo slip is very important, it contains a lot of content, such as some business of the Xu family and... activities!
"Unexpectedly, Xu You's clansman dared to greedy Yuan Shao's omen's food and grass many times, and sold it to the common people's clan to fill their own pockets..."

Sima Yi sighed...

"That's right." It was the burly officer and soldier who spoke this time. "It seems that Xu You's clansmen did this, but without Xu You's instruction? How dare these clansmen do this!"

"In the past three years, the Xu family has been greedy for more than [-] shi in military rations? It's just... the Xu family members have always been careful. If there is no evidence, they are afraid that the entire Xu family will be imprisoned a long time ago because of the temperament of the Yecheng order. Even so, there are many rifts between Shen Pei and Xu You, one is not used to it, the other is self-serving, arrogant and arrogant, the two have long been political enemies and mortal enemies!"

This…

Hearing this, Sima Yi's eyeballs blinked again and again.

The information on this bamboo slip, including what the officer and soldier said, was extremely important to him.

Even... Isn't this the "breakthrough" that Sima Yi was looking for?

"Is there any way? I can sneak into the Xu family... and have a chance to get their black account?" Sima Yi asked back...

"Disaster…"

This time it wasn't just the officer who shook his head, almost everyone shook their heads.

As for the reason...

"If you want to get the account books of the Xu family, you must enter the Xu family's mansion!"

"The Xu family has never easily recruited foreign servants. The servants they recruit must be dumb and disabled, otherwise...they will never use them!"

When the officer and soldier said this, the shopkeeper of the restaurant let out a sigh of "ah".

Then he added: "It is reasonable to say that Lu Situ has an order, and we should move forward even if we are going up the mountain of swords or down the pan of oil! But... but the conditions for the Xu family to recruit servants must be dumb and disabled. I'm waiting...I'm powerless in waiting! Alas...alas..."

seem…

Because he couldn't complete the task given by Lu Yu, the shopkeeper of the restaurant was quite ashamed.

Speaking of it, Lu Yu and them were more than just reminders and life-saving grace in the past.

more than this…

Lu Yu arranged their family members properly. It can be said that they collected information in Jizhou, and there were dangers everywhere, but their family members lived incomparably peaceful and prosperous!
The demands of ordinary people in this era are really not high.

Just because of this, these people are also terrified of Lu Yu!
"This…"

Sima Yi's eyes narrowed, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

dumb?Have a disability?
This is a hard condition... The point is, no one in this secret room meets this condition, so... what should I do?

and many more…

Sima Yi suddenly thought of something, his eyes looked at his leg, if...if his leg was broken?Does that mean you are disabled?

If so...he deliberately didn't say a word, could it be...he can pretend to be a mute?

Sima Yi's eyes suddenly shone with light,
It's just... the light is gone in a flash.

The "Book of Filial Piety" has a saying - the body, hair and skin, the parents who receive it, dare not damage it, this is the beginning of filial piety!

self harm?this…

thought here.

Sima Yi's brows became even tighter. It was only at this moment that he realized that this task could no longer be described as "not easy", it was simply... Nightmare level!

But, think about Cheng Yucheng Sima, Yang Xiu Yang Dezu, the tasks they went out to carry out, the tasks assigned to them by Chief Lu, have you ever been relaxed?
Only by completing these tasks can you become a person trusted by Chief Lu and be able to protect your family and family!
Thinking about this...

Sima Yi raised his eyes and said loudly.

——"Stand up and practice the way, make your name known to future generations, so as to show your parents, the end of filial piety."

——"This disabled person, this dumb person, no one can do it, so let me, Sima Yi, do it. I have traveled thousands of miles to this point, and I will never give up until I reach my goal!"

Huo…

What Sima Yi said surprised everyone in the room.

None of them expected that this young man sent by Lu Situ would... actually have such courage!

What a Sima Yi!

...

...

Xu Capital City, Si Nong Mansion.

Cao Cao had just put on his clean white-soled black shoes, and stepped lightly on the wooden floor. Xun Yu followed behind him, watching Cao Cao put on his shoes and socks before he opened his mouth.

"Cao Sikong just had a terrible headache, and when he was dying... he chanted a name..."

"what name?"

Xun Yu didn't hide anything, and said directly, "Yu'er!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao's expression froze.

Xun Yu continued to add: "Yu'er, Lu Yu's 'Yu', son's 'er'! Unexpectedly, Cao Sikong... has a relationship with Lu Situ..."

call…

Cao Cao exhaled, he turned around and looked at Xun Yu. "Worthy of being 'My Zifang', I am looking at the autumn hairs, with extraordinary eyesight, I am thinking alone, what is the reason for making the king wink? It turned out to be this matter!"

Speaking of this, "haha"... Cao Cao smiled heartily.

Xun Yu is his close friend and someone he trusts. Since this matter will be revealed sooner or later, there is no need to hide it from Xun Yu.

Now counting...

Apart from Jia Xu, Chen Gong, and Xu Chu, who knew this relationship... there was one more person!
Ha ha…

Cao Cao laughed and sighed, "Just now I had a splitting headache, and the only thing I could think of was the continuation of this hegemony and a reliable heir, so... in a hurry, I chanted the name 'Yu'er', unexpectedly It was actually noticed by Xun Ling."

Xun Yu nodded and said: "I heard that more than twenty years ago... Cao Sikong met a beautiful woman in Dunqiu County, Puyang. Cao Sikong had a son with her. This child must be Lu Yu... No, it must be Cao Yu?"

"That's right!" Cao Cao nodded, but he didn't continue to speak... At this moment, his mood is also chaotic. Whether to announce the identity of "Yu'er" to the world, he is still thinking and weighing.

It seems like I can't make a decision for a long time...

but.

Xun Yu's eyesight is so sharp, he can see through Cao Cao's thoughts at a glance.

"Cao Sikong, I don't know if Xun should say something or not?"

"When did Lingjun become so muddled?" Cao Cao waved his hand. "Lingjun and I are close friends, better than brothers, no matter what words you say, it doesn't matter!"

"Then... Xun will dare to speak out." Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "Lu Yu is still Lu Yu, at least in the current situation, Lu Yu must not become 'Cao Yu'!"

Huo…

After blurting out this meaningful sentence, Cao Cao's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at Xun Yu in a daze, but Xun Yu's eyes were particularly deep, and there was a special intriguing intrigue in them.

"Why?" After ten breaths of time, Cao Cao spoke.

Xun Yu's tone became more serious, "If there are extraordinary people, then there will be extraordinary things; if there are extraordinary things, then extraordinary achievements will be made!"

"Although Chen Lin's proclamation cured Cao Sikong's headache, the words were like knives, slandering Cao Sikong to nothing... The common people and gentry everywhere will not know the truth of this proclamation. , False and true, they can only repeat what others say, and go to detail the "true" or "nothing" things about Cao Sikong. It can be said that Chen Linhao's letter against thieves has ruined Cao Sikong's reputation in the world! Such a dark hour...if...if..."

Having said this, Xun Yu paused.

He took a long breath before continuing to speak.

"At such a dark moment, if Cao Sikong has one more 'scandal' of an illegitimate child, and one more ... experience that defies all opinions and recommends this 'illegitimate child' as a 'prime son', then...Chen Lin's writing will be enough." Write another proclamation, and it will still be an 'Anecdotal Record' that the common people love to hear!"

"At that time, Cao Sikong's reputation will not only be damaged, but completely collapsed... Even Lu Yu, he...he will lose the support of the people when he inherits the throne! The support of the gentry! The support of morality and etiquette! The hearts of the people On the contrary...One hair will affect the whole body...Therefore, even if Xun Mou is deadly admonishing today, he will never let Cao Sikong do such a foolish thing!"

Huo…

Xun Yu's words... completely awakened Cao Cao, Cao Cao's heart trembled a little, and his eyes became tighter subconsciously.

What Xun Lingjun said is right, one pull will move the whole body... One pull will move!And move the whole body!

At first... Cao Cao thought it was too simple, too simple!
He thinks that father and son recognize each other now, at best, it is not a good time, and it will not cause too much disaster...

But after Xun Yu's reminder, he realized that this is not a matter of timing at all. If we really need to recognize each other, that is—"Misfortunes never come singly", "The tide will fall", "The building will collapse!"

call…

Cao Cao exhaled, he stretched out his hand and patted Xun Yu's shoulder.

"Xun Lingjun..."

"Every time I listen to your speech, it's like drinking that old wine. It's refreshing and thought-provoking...It's intoxicating!"

In a word...

"Tap Tat Tat..." The sound of footsteps resounded...

Cao Cao made up his mind, his eyes widened, and he strode towards the main hall.

Xun Yu let out a sigh of relief and chased after him.

As Cao Cao said...

His words made Cao Cao "like drinking fine wine and intoxicating his heart", at the same time, how could he not be "like drinking fine wine, his heart is intoxicated"...

Ha ha…

He Xun Yu, the reason why he chose Cao Cao!

not because...

Because of his open-mindedness, accepting advice with an open mind... because he can always listen to the correct advice!
