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

Chapter 28 What does it mean, it's dark under the lights!

Cao Jie is doomed to have no peace today.

After Cao Cao left, he was alone at the desk, and what flashed before his eyes was the letter of acknowledgment that he had deliberately not shown just now, which represented the public opinion of Dunqiu, and the taxes paid by Dunqiu County in recent years.

A trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes...

But in just an instant, this suspicion became much firmer.

"It can bring results to the rotten place in Dunqiu County that has been in chaos for a hundred years!"

"This shows that the 'superior' behind Cao Cao..."

He didn't say everything, but the meaning was very clear, this "superior" is not simple!

Since it's not easy...

Then...

Most of the "emperor's mind" that Cao Cao told him today came from this expert.

At this moment, "Tata"...

Cao Jie heard footsteps from far to near, he raised his head and glanced lightly.

"Brother... I think what Cao Cao just said makes sense!"

The person who spoke was Cao Jie’s younger brother Cao Poshi, who was blessed by Cao Jie, and now Cao Poshi has been serving as the captain of the Yueqi school...

"It makes sense? What makes sense?" Cao Jie asked back.

Cao Poshi's expression was gloomy. "In order to appease the people's grievances, Emperor Huan will get rid of the five lords without hesitation. Now His Majesty...maybe also calm down the influence of the 'party's scourge'. After deposing Song Empress...choose...choose..."

He didn't finish a sentence, but the meaning was already on the paper, and Cao Poshi's expression became even uglier.

"Hahaha…"

Unexpectedly, Cao Jie laughed out loud...

Cao Poshi was puzzled, and quickly asked, "Why are you laughing, brother?"

"I laugh at you all suddenly worrying about our family's safety!"

"Aren't you afraid, brother?"

"I have been worshiped by my master Cao Teng since I was a child. I have experienced countless ups and downs in the two dynasties. My understanding of His Majesty today is beyond the reach of others. A mere case of the 'Empress Song' cannot threaten our family!"

Cao Jie stood up slowly, and stood with his hands behind his back... "Relax, our family will never sit still!"

"But... elder brother, if we follow what Cao Cao said, this time... elder brother's opponent is... today's emperor!" Cao Poshi heard the words of elder brother and Cao Cao very clearly, and the more true he was, the more nervous he felt. "Throughout the ages, rulers and ministers have to die! What's more, our family property was not obtained properly!"

Ha ha…

Hearing this, Cao Jie laughed. He walked to the guqin in the corner of the house in the hall, plucked the strings with his fingers, and said with a sneer.

——"The Lord did not cross the river, but the Lord crossed the river, and died while crossing the river. What is the matter?"

——"Our family is determined to cross this 'Gong River'!"

...

...

When Xun Yu came to Yulin Temple again, he heard the chime bells beating violently like a gust of wind and rain.

Following the prestige, Cao Cao was striking the big and small bells with his eyes closed in a wing room.

Xun Yu stopped in his tracks and listened quietly at the door...

The sound of the chime bells gradually changed from low to high, like a thunderstorm, like a river and sea congealing.

But as the melody came to an end, under the beating of Cao Cao, the sounds of the big and small bells gradually changed from high-pitched to soothing, peaceful, melodious and cool.

Like a piece of light feathers flying down, it gradually comes to rest, and the lingering sound curls up, lingering endlessly.

"Crack, crack..."

As soon as the song fell, Xun Yu clapped his hands.

He said in a loud voice: "It's easy for a man to be brave for a while, but it's hard to be peaceful. Meng De can show such restraint, which makes Xun admire... Come to think of it, that Da Changqiu listened to Meng De's words!"

"Wen Ruo..."

Seeing Xun Yu, Cao Cao's narrowed eyes suddenly widened, as if seeing a light in the dark. "I've already told Cao Jie those words! It seems...he listened to it! It seems that he didn't listen to everything!"

those words...

Naturally, it refers to the bamboo slip left by Liu Yu. Cao Cao and Xun Yu studied it carefully all night, peeled off the content, and summarized the true meaning of it into a series of words!
Tell Cao Jie through the mouth of Cao Cao...

Cao Cao didn't know the final result, but... this was the wisdom of the two brothers "Di Yu" and "Wen Ruo", he felt... definitely, it would work!
"What does Meng De plan to do next?" Xun Yu frowned and asked.

This…

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment.

He didn't answer right away, or rather, he didn't think about it at all.

Facing the chime, Cao Cao murmured, "If... if Brother Yu is here, what... will he ask me to do?"

call…

Hearing this sentence, Xun Yu let out a breath, and a bold idea came to his mind.

Although... Although Xun Yu has never met Liu Yu, but after listening to Cao Cao's story and reading the bamboo slips left by him, Xun Yu has a feeling that he has been friends with Liu Yu for a long time, and they are inseparable!
Liu Yu will become his best friend!
Xun Yu's eyesight and insight are beyond others, he would also think, put himself in the shoes, if he were Liu Yu, what would he tell Cao Cao to do?
"Fill out what I got from greedy ink, and beat the Dengwen drum again!"

Xun Yu blurted out.

firm tone...

Huo…

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, then nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the bamboo slip left by Brother Yu, which was tightly held in his hand. "If Brother Yu was here, he... would definitely say the same thing!"

——"Find out the money you got from greedy ink, and beat the Dengwen drum again!"

...

...

It was still sunny during the day, but at night, it suddenly began to rain heavily.

seem…

God also deliberately eased the tense and suffocating atmosphere in Luoyang City.

Use this rain to wash away the sudden appearance of swords and swords in the city!
From the cellar in Xiahou's mansion, a voice of astonishment came indistinctly...

Not even the heavy rain could cover the vibrations that accompanied the sound.

"This…"

"This…"

Cao Cao was stunned. He stood at the entrance of a secret room in the cellar, trembling and stroking the cold door wall.

Xun Yu carried the rain-proof sheepskin lantern...his heart also thumped.

"Meng De? You really didn't know...there are so many gold, silver and jewels hidden in the cellar of Xiahou Mansion?"

Trembling... Xun Yu's throat was trembling.

There are too many, the gold, coins, rare antiques, precious calligraphy and paintings in front of them... There are simply too many, so much that even in the experience world, they dare not think about it!
"I... It's my first time here too!"

Cao Cao's tone also trembled slightly. "Before, Brother Yu only said that my Cao family is as rich as a country... Maybe... this, this is a country as rich as an enemy, right?"

Cao Cao felt that his outlook on life was shattered...

Totally numb!

He served as the order of Dunqiu, and the grain, money and grain that he paid tribute with the power of a county can fill the warehouse of the entire county government.

But... the gold, silver and jewels hidden by Cao's family in front of me may not be able to fit in the warehouses of a hundred county government offices.

It's exactly the same as Brother Yu said!
"Master Liu even knows this?"

A trace of astonishment flashed in Xun Yu's eyes.

Cao Cao nodded, his tone was firm. "There is no Brother Yu who doesn't know everything in this world!"

Huo…

Cao Cao's words deepened Xun Yu's curiosity about Liu Yu, the master of Yulin Temple.

"Wen Ruo..."

Xun Yu, whose thoughts had already drifted away, was startled by Cao Cao's sudden voice. The lantern fell to the ground, and the candle flame struggled to shake twice before it went out.

The secret room was pitch black.

"What does Mengde want to say?"

Xun Yu went to look for flint and steel, but Cao Cao grabbed Xun Yu's arm in the dark. "In the past, Brother Yu said that my Cao family was the richest man in the big man, and asked me to write about it when I asked my father for money in Dunqiu County. At that time, I couldn't believe it!"

"But today I just realized what it means to be dark under the lamp!"

call!
Is it dark under the lights?

Xun Yu narrowed his eyes, and he felt that the words "dark under the lamp" in Cao Cao's mouth had a lot of meaning!
