Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 21 Meng De, do you dare to beat this drum again?

In the quiet night, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Ding Xiang came out of the room with her clothes on.

"Don't knock, don't knock, it's in the middle of the night...Is this a wake-up call?"

She complained and went to open the door, as if she was worried that the sudden banging on the door would wake up her sister and the sleeping little Cao Ang. She never thought that when the door opened, Cao Cao stumbled in with strides.

It seemed that it was because he was running too fast, or because he was out of strength, his legs staggered, and he fell into Ding Xiang's arms.

"Brother-in-law, you..."

Ding Hui and Liu Chun who heard the noise greeted each other out of the bedroom, their eyes met in the night, it seemed that because of the humbleness of the concubine's room, Liu Chun hurriedly lowered his head.

"Ma'am, it's the young master who is back!"

Ding Hui saw who was coming, who else could there be besides Cao Cao?
"In the middle of the night, where did you go? You're going to kill us..."

After running all the way, Cao Cao was exhausted, and he was lying on Ding Xiang's body, unable to move.

"Sister... hurry up and help brother-in-law!" Ding Xiang complained with a grin.

Only then did Ding Hui and Liu Chun support Cao Cao.

"Why are you so tired?" Ding Hui asked quickly.

"Don't ask so many questions, help me to the stable!" Cao Cao said quickly...

After saying goodbye to Brother Yu, he returned to Xiahou's Mansion. He had changed a horse, and the bamboo slip left by Brother Yu was in the saddlebag of the previous horse.

Soon.

Cao Cao's excited voice came from the stable.

"This is it, this is it..."

He took the bamboo slips from Liu Chun, held them carefully in the palm of his hand, with a look of excitement on his face, he hastily let the two ladies help him to the study, where there are candles!
only…

In his haste, Cao Cao didn't realize that his two clan brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were not in the mansion here.

...

...

The southwest corner of the Luoyang Command Office is the cell. Many guards complained about the horrible weather. The light rain just now caused a thin layer of mist to appear on the ground. Their shoes and socks were completely wet, and they couldn't help shivering...

I never thought that the rain stopped at this moment, and the air was filled with scorching heat, like a fire.

I don't know from which year, the weather in the whole Dahan has become abnormal!
The hail in July is as big as a chicken!
It's the rainy season, but the drought continues!
Flooding of Luoshui, locust plagues, earthquakes... are simply commonplace!
It seems that everyone is used to the weather of this dog day!
After finally staying up until midnight, thinking that Lord Sima Fu, the commander of Luoyang, was already sound asleep, the guards of the prison sneaked back to the duty room, changed their clothes, and caught up on sleep!

At this moment, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, who were masked in black, turned over from the beams, quietly sneaked into the official office, and walked cautiously into the depths of the prison.

suddenly...

The flame of the candle in Xiahou Dun's hand flickered, and with his sense of smell for many years as a ranger, he immediately realized that there was someone nearby.

He turned around and drew his saber, stabbing coldly towards his side, but a sword also flashed out from his side, this sword was swung by Sima Fang.

"Clang clang clang..."

The sound of metal clashing resounded.

In the darkness, a few sparks flickered suddenly...

For several rounds in a row, the blade is sharp, and the move kills...

The sword is amazing, sophisticated and steady!

At last…

In the sound of "clang" collisions, the shadows of swords and candles complement each other, shining like flying snow!
"You guys are not saving Cao Dahonglu, but harming him!"

"A word of advice to you all, leave quickly, so as not to expose your identity and embarrass both the Lord and Cao Dahonghe!"

Sima Fang's back sword lay across his chest, blocking Xiahou Dun's powerful blow, and then with a flick of his wrist, he turned from defense to offense...

"Tap tap..."

The footsteps of guards have been heard around, and there are dozens of people.

Xiahou Dun pushed Xiahouyuan violently.

"you go!"

With a cold shout, he fought Sima Fang again, as if he was determined to rescue Cao Song.

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer, "Yuan..." Xia Houyuan's voice stopped abruptly, and he turned around and walked out of the government office.

After a while, the sound here is nothingness!
Countless swords pointed at Xiahou Dun.

"You..." Sima Fang sighed inwardly, he felt that the man in black before his eyes had really been kicked in the head by a donkey, he felt so lonely!
Helplessly, Sima Fang clicked his mouth, and said coldly:

"Push down!"

"Here!" A group of jailers took Xiahou Dun into prison.

"Your Majesty Sima..." A jailer asked, "If one escapes, do you want to use punishment to force this assassin to recruit his accomplices?"

Phew... Commander Sima exhaled.

"Empress Song's case has not yet been cleared, so we can't make any side issues, and we will be locked up, and the case will be tried after Empress Song!"

"Here!"

tao tao…

With the sound of heavy footsteps, the prison returned to nothingness!

It was Sima Fang, who was standing alone, squinting his eyes, sighing helplessly...

Back then, during Emperor Huan's reign, the first time the party was imprisoned.

Cao Song, who was the lieutenant of Sili at that time, was responsible for arresting the party members, but Cao Song was not a pure "eunuch" after all, he lenient the party members and let most of them go!

For example, Zhang Jian in "Looking at the Gate to Stop Thinking of Zhang Jian", and He Yong and He Boqiu, who are famous all over the world, were also deliberately let go by Cao Song...

The Sima family in Hanoi has always been friends with a group of scholars...

Cao Song let go of the party members, Sima Fang thought of his kindness!
Recommended Cao Cao three years ago, naturally there is also this unknown relationship!

only…

"Ugh…"

Sima Fang walked out of the prison gate slowly, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the government office.

"That dusty Dengwen drum? Cao Mengde, do you dare to ring it again?"

He shook his head, but nodded again.

I hope that Sima Fang didn't recommend the wrong person, let alone judge the wrong person!

...

...

In the middle of the night, it started to rain again, and the weather was as capricious as Cao Cao's mood.

In the clear night, the moonlight is like water, and the ten thousand tiles of Luoyang are clear and frosty. Cao Cao paced anxiously in the study with his hands behind his back. He was holding a bamboo slip in his hand. When he passed the door, he lifted it up, glanced at it, and alas Sighing, he stamped his feet and turned around, as if he couldn't understand the contents of Brother Yu's bamboo slip.

Liu Chun, his concubine, came in, holding a few courgettes in his hands.

"Husband still eat something!"

"Am I useless?" Cao Cao squatted down, what he felt was helplessness... endless helplessness.

If he didn't understand anything in the past, he could ask Brother Yu to explain it for him...

But now, Brother Yu is not in Luoyang, and Cao Cao realizes that he can't do anything!
"My husband was looking for the bamboo slips as soon as I entered the door. Now that I found it, why do you say you are helpless? What's wrong?" Liu Chun grabbed Cao Cao's cold hand and persuaded anxiously: "Husband, don't worry, you will definitely There is a way!"

"I...I found the bamboo slips, but...but what do these words left by Brother Yu mean?" Cao Cao frowned and said, "Sima Manor didn't see me, and tortured my father again. Father can't last a few days at this age. , but I... but I..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao suddenly rushed into the courtyard with big strides, as if he was drenched by the rain and could no longer wake him up!
He walked to the well in the courtyard, stirred up a bucket of water vigorously, picked it up and poured it on his head, and after pouring a bucket, it was another bucket!
Liu Chun rushed to stop him in shock, but was pushed away by Cao Cao...

Liu Chun was in a hurry.

"Husband...you!"

But at this moment, Ding Hui rushed over angrily!
"Ahhh..."

She slammed Cao Cao's chest with her fist, and then pressed his shoulders hard with both hands. No matter how hard Cao Cao broke free, Ding Hui still held down firmly, as if she had exhausted all her strength.

"Ah, calm down!"

Cao Cao finally calmed down, staring blankly at his wife.

Ding Hui glanced at Liu Chun who was pushed to the ground, and said sadly: "Look at you now? Do you still look like a husband? The sky hasn't fallen yet! Even if it falls, the whole Cao family will carry it together. No good, count Ding's family and be buried together!"

This…

Cao Cao's heart thumped, he bit his lips, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, but I still can't understand, I can't understand this bamboo slip that Brother Yu left me, it's obviously...it's just an ordinary story!"

Liu Chun had already stood up again, she wrung out the towel in the basin, and wiped Cao Cao's face carefully.

Ding Hui frowned, as if trying to help Cao Cao find a way.

Cao Cao felt the affection and strength contained in the expressions of the two ladies in front of him, so he couldn't help reaching out and holding their hands.

seem…

On this rainy night, they are the only ones who can bring me a little warmth.

"Ever since you got married, you have been impatient. After getting to know Mr. Liu these years, and going to and from Yulin Temple, I thought you had grown up a lot and matured a lot. How come... when things happen, you still act like child!"

Ding Hui took Cao Cao back to the house...to change his soaked clothes.

"I can't sit still, I have to find a way to save my father..." Cao Cao pondered, but his eyes subconsciously looked back at the bamboo slip in his hand again.

Now, Ding Hui understood...

It was nothing else that caused my husband to collapse in an instant, but this bamboo slip!

It's my husband who can't decipher this bamboo slip.

Immediately, she comforted: "Ah, if you really think this bamboo slip can save father, then you don't understand, you can ask others, Mr. Liu is not in Luoyang, you can also ask Mr. Qiao, Mr. Cai... They They are all mentors of your Taixue, and they are bound to help you, are you in a daze here? What problems can they solve?"

call…

Ding Hui's words made Cao Cao's bewildered eyes look more hopeful.

The eldest son of Qiao mentioned by Ding Hui is Qiao Xuan, who is now deposed at home due to the implication of the party's misfortune...

And Cai Yong, the chief teaching officer of Taixue and Cao Cao's mentor, was recently dismissed from office because of the eunuch's persecution, waiting to be punished!
In Cao Cao's eyes, whether it is Qiao Xuan or Cai Yong, their knowledge is far superior to his own.

That's right...

He, Cao Cao, couldn't understand Brother Yu's bamboo slip, maybe...perhaps...the two of them could figure out the true meaning of this story!
"Ma'am, you are right!"

"Young Master Bridge..."

"Mr. Cai..."

"Yes, I can ask them for advice! Most of them can, no... they can definitely... definitely be able to see the deep meaning between the lines of Brother Yu!"
