Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 357 Poetry is charming because of love, can't I see love?
The moon star is thin, and the black dragonfly flies south.

At the completely new city gate of Luoyang, Cao Pi, Wu Zhi, Liu Zhen and others were divided into two teams and stood at the gate waiting for Cao Zhi.

The sound of horseshoes gradually sounded on the official road, Cao Zhi was wearing a cloak, and came with a few entourages on horseback...

Cao Pi waved his hand and said, "Zijian..."

He hurried up to meet him, Cao Zhi was obviously a little surprised to see his elder brother coming to pick him up so late, got off his horse and bowed to pay his respects.

Cao Pi supported him and said, "Zijian, you are here. If you don't hand over the city of Luoyang to you yourself, how can you rest assured? Eh? Is it just the two of you? Don't you have any personal guards to escort you?"

The two people Cao Pi refers to are Cao Zhi and Ding Yi.

Ding Yi, like Yang Xiu, supported Cao Zhi and was a diehard loyalist of Cao Zhi. This time, he also came back with him to build Luoyang.

Hearing what his elder brother said, Cao Zhi smiled innocently, "Since my father ordered me to complete the construction of Luoyang within two months, I was anxious about the progress of Luoyang, and I didn't have time to mobilize troops, so I took Brother Ding and rushed back. It took three days and three nights to arrive."

Cao Pi caressed Cao Zhi's arm, "Riding a horse for several days is hard work, isn't it?"

"Being able to take over from my second brother to build the city for my father is nothing. I've heard people say that my second brother has already built the entire Luoyang City in sevens and eighties. Looking at the magnificent city gate now, I expected it to be so. Look at it. Come on, thanks to the second brother, Brother Yu can relax a lot this time, and most likely he can complete the task as scheduled."

As Cao Zhi spoke, he wanted to thank him again.

Cao Pi stopped and said: "Hey, my brother, what are you talking about? You have worked hard all the way, second brother, you brought good wine, let the wind wash away!"

some greetings...

Cao Pi, Wu Zhi, Liu Zhen and others were in front, and Cao Zhi and Ding Yi were behind. The group of people entered the city gate, and there was a post house on the left. Cao Pi and others went in first, and Cao Zhi was about to follow in, when Ding Yi suddenly stopped Hold him, "My son was drunk when he first came to Luoyang, I'm afraid Prime Minister Cao will know..."

Before Ding Yi could finish speaking.

Cao Pi said loudly: "Why didn't the fourth brother come in? The wine and food are all ready? Come and taste it! Now Luoyang City can't find a cook who cooks these dishes. These dishes are specially cooked by your sister-in-law, just for you. of."

Hearing the word "sister-in-law", Cao Zhi's eyes must have rolled. He gave Ding Yi a meaningful look, then took off his cloak and threw it to Ding Yi, "Sister-in-law, like mother, has always been kind to me. The rice my sister-in-law cooked... how can I shirk it?"

While speaking, Cao Zhi didn't hesitate any longer, and strode in.

Sure enough, Zhen Mi was really here, and this was the first time Cao Zhi saw his sister-in-law since this year.

Seems to have noticed that Cao Zhi was a little surprised...

"Building a city in Luoyang is always hard..." Cao Pi explained, "Your sister-in-law is originally in Xudu, not far from here. She was afraid that I would not be used to the big pot of rice here, so she came here to cook for me. Now, many officials here can't live without the dishes cooked by your sister-in-law, but Zijian is so delicious...I'm leaving, and you can still eat the dishes cooked by your sister-in-law."

When Cao Pi said these words, his eyes turned quietly to Zhen Mi's face.

At this moment, Zhen Mi was wearing a plain robe, standing elegantly in this private room, her cool and indifferent temperament was like a lotus blooming at the beginning, pure and graceful, not attracting dust, more like a blooming lotus flower in the secular world.

Although Fanghua is no longer there, no matter who sees her current cold face, she can't help but recite the popular sentence ten years ago - "There is Erqiao in Jiangdong, and Zhen Miqiao in Hebei!"

On the other hand, Zhen Mi was pursing her lips at the moment.

As if, standing between this pair of brothers made her a little nervous and restrained.

It also reminded her of what Cao Pi said to herself two days ago when he learned that Cao Zhi was coming...

At that moment, from nowhere, Cao Pi took out many articles written by Cao Zhi, together with these articles... and three letters from Zhen Mi...

Over the years, Zhen Mi and Cao Zhi have written letters three times.

The only thing they talked about was "Cao Zhi is helping his sister-in-law to resolve her loneliness"!
Can…

Brother-in-law and sister-in-law, such letters... are taboo after all, and the correspondence between the two is often in secret, extremely secretive, and they rarely even meet each other, let alone do anything out of the ordinary.

I never thought about it, but Cao Pi knew about it.

"Zihuan, you misunderstood me!"

"What's the misunderstanding? Although my poems are not as good as Zijian's, I also know how to read poems. Poems are beautiful because of emotion. I can't see a single word 'love' in each poem or letter!"

"Zihuan, you still misunderstood!"

"You like poetry, so let's talk about poetry. What am I misunderstanding?"

Faced with Cao Pi's aggressiveness, Zhen Mi burst into tears. She held Cao Pi's hand eagerly, "Zi Huan, can't you have a good word with me? Ever since I married you, you have been cold to me for so many years." I've been cold, if... If you looked down on me and despised me as an abandoned woman, why did you marry me? Can you spare me and let us off each other? "

Cao Pi gently wiped away her tears. He didn't want to talk too much about this matter. He had no affection for Zhen Mi. The only thing that could tempt him was power. Queen Guo could advise him and fight for power. He I like Queen Guo Zhao Guo!
Even... Cao Pi deeply knows... Zhen Mi, even she herself is just a tool, a tool used by his father to make their brothers fight against each other!
That being the case, if the father wants to use a woman to make their brothers fight, then he, Cao Pi, will also use this woman to win the position of the son of the world.

"I've read all these letters. I don't want to talk about the past, and I won't mention it again in the future. I just ask you to do one thing!"

Cao Pi's voice was cold and firm.

Zhen Mi gritted her teeth, "Yes...do you stop writing letters with Zijian, and stop talking about poetry?"

—“Are you talking about poetry? 』

Cao Pi suppressed the anger that was about to come out in his heart, and he said to Zhen Mi in a commanding tone: "Zijian will come to Luoyang in two days, I want you to stay here, don't you like to talk about poetry? Then I will let you talk about poetry in Luoyang." Enough!"

Cao Pi is not joking...

Cao Zhi wants to take over the construction of Luoyang, and Cao Pi wants to leave, but what Cao Pi can't let go of the most is Li Miao's secret way. He must make this secret way safe, so that this secret way will not be discovered!
So...he must find a way to help Li Miao hide this "secret way"!
Find a way to divert Cao Zhi's attention.

So... the only way he could think of was Zhen Mi.

Cao Pi knows this stupid brother too well. As long as Zhen Mi is in Luoyang, not only will he not find the secret way, even his father will not be able to complete the task of building Luoyang City in two months!
Cao Pi is a person who can sacrifice everything for his son, even if it is his wife.

Because he knows better, if Cao Zhi becomes the final winner in this battle for the heir, then...everything that belongs to him, status, reputation, even his wife and dignity, will be taken away!
The most critical moment has come, Cao Pi will have no worries and give it a go!

"Zi Huan, you still misunderstand me..." Zhen Mi was extremely wronged at that time.

Cao Pi frowned, "I'm not joking with you, I really need you to do this... If, if you still treat you as my wife, then do as I say! Chat with Zijian in Luoyang City poetry…"

When he said this sentence, Cao Pi's heart was humiliated as always, as if he had lost his dignity, as if he had become a walking dead.

He threw those letters that made him extremely "humiliating" into Zhen Mi's arms and walked away, leaving Zhen Mi behind him and couldn't help asking: "Why? Why?"

Cao Pi turned around, "It's better not to ask, even I regret knowing why? Once I know it, I can't forget it, I can't get rid of it, so I don't know, but it's kindness!"

Because of this incident, because of these words, Zhen Mi seemed to have cried out her tears, and Cao Pi was humiliated, but how could she ever perform Cao Pi's task without being humiliated?

At this moment, in the private room of the post house, Zhen Mi tried her best to squeeze out a few smiles, "Zijian is here, your brother said a few days ago that he asked me to sew you a cloak because he was worried that you would be afraid of the cold. It's been a busy night!"

Cao Zhi was very moved: "Sister-in-law...Second brother and sister-in-law treat me so well."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and stroked the delicate embroidery on the edge of the cloak, with mixed feelings...

He suddenly raised his head, took Cao Pi's hand, and looked at Zhen Mi: "Sister-in-law, tonight I will not get drunk with my second brother, sister-in-law will not mind!"

"This..." Soon, two words were faintly uttered from Zhen Mi's mouth: "Naturally—"

The night was getting darker and quieter, but after a while, Cao Zhi was already very drunk, and he chanted: "...the clear wine is full of gold cups, and the delicacies are arranged horizontally and horizontally. The Qi people enter the strange music, and the singers come out of the Western Qin Dynasty. I am graceful, my son, The ingenuity is like a god, second brother...second brother, it's your turn, second brother...second brother, you and sister-in-law are so kind to me!"

drunk, drunk...

Cao Zhi was already drunk, and fell drunk in the gentle hometown that Cao Pi specially woven for him!
It was Zhen Mi, who stood on the steps of the post house against the wind, looking at the door of the private room, the wind blowing her sleeves, she looked so thin and desolate.

At this moment, she seemed to be in the eye of the storm, feeling the undercurrent between the two brothers most directly and most intensely.

She knew that no matter what, she couldn't escape!

...

...

In Shouchun City, the entire Zhang Liao's mansion seemed to be shrouded in a haze of confusion.

Zhang Liao's deep, painful and extremely forbearing screams sounded from the bedroom of the mansion.

"Ah... ah—"

Inside the house, a group of personal soldiers guarded the periphery, and all the personal soldiers' eyes were fixed on Zhuo Rong's slender hands.

The bright medical equipment "Iron Eight Pieces" is placed aside;
Gold and silver needles, silver threads, medicinal pestles, cupping jars, shawls, tong wood, waist pillars, knee tucks, etc. are brought together in one hall.

Zhuo Rong calmly picked up a silver needle, washed it with wine, warmed it with fire, then inserted it into Zhang Liao's acupuncture point, then the second, third, until eleven were inserted, Zhang Liao, who had fainted before woke up.

The surrounding guards exclaimed excitedly:

"Wake up, General Zhang is awake!"

Originally, the soldiers who had doubts about Zhuo Rong's medical skills finally let go of their worries, and their tone of voice towards Zhuo Rong became more friendly.

On the contrary, although Zhang Liao has become conscious, he still looks pained, as if he is suffering a great ordeal.

Zhuo Rong couldn't bear to see Zhang Liao in such pain, so he couldn't help pursing his lips.

Subconsciously blurted out: "It would be great if my master's Mabo was scattered..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, and quickly covered her mouth, here...she shouldn't have said that!
It will kill you!
But looking around, she found that no one cared about the sentence she just recited.

Only then did he lightly pat his chest, which felt relieved a lot.

This was a small episode, and soon, Zhuo Rong's heart sank again.

She quickly took out a gourd from the package, and then poured the green liquid in the gourd into a bowl, "Thank you for your help, this medicine... must be taken by Brother Zhang and applied to the wound."

Brother Zhang...

Although Zhuo Rong chanted these three words hastily, it was difficult to conceal a different relationship, as if the relationship between the two was very tacit.

Following Zhuo Rong's words... a group of personal guards quickly stretched out their hands, some supported Zhang Liao's head, and some carefully wiped the green viscous liquid on the wound on Zhang Liao's body.

call…

Seeing this, Zhuo Rong finally breathed out slowly, and touched Zhang Liao's forehead, it seemed that the high fever had subsided a little.

But... that's not enough.

Zhuo Rong asked again: "Do you have 'Gourd Suan' here?"

Her eyes are filled with anticipation, but also with infinite hope...

She can't wait to use Zhang Zhongjing's method of healing Ling Tong on Zhang Liao. She wants Zhang Liao to live!

In fact, she told outsiders that she came to save Zhang Liao because of the benevolence of the doctor... All of this is a lie and a cover-up.

In fact... there is no benevolence of a doctor, it's just a feeling... Ever since he knew Zhang Liao's name, he had an inexplicably extra feeling, a different kind of affection.

Because, according to the last disciple of the master, "Wu Jail", when Cao Cao wanted to kill his master Hua Tuo.

Among the civil servants of Cao Wei, only Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun pleaded;
Among Cao Wei's generals, only Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan pleaded with Cao Cao.

Xun Yu's words of pleading were—"Hua Tuo's medical skills are indeed superb, and they are related to people's lives. We should forgive him!"

Zhang Liao's words of intercession are-"The last general lived in Yanmen for a long time when he was young, Xianbei often looted, ten rooms and nine empty, countless soldiers guarded the border, and countless wounded, if not many doctors spontaneously rushed to the border to heal the soldiers Injuries, the general does not know whether he can live to this day, so I implore the prime minister to be more tolerant to the doctors, and forgive Hua Tuo this time!"

However, whether it is Xun Yu or Zhang Liao...

After all, their words failed to persuade Cao Cao.

On the contrary, Xun Yu spread the word because of his plea, and was appreciated by the people in Xinglin.

But Zhang Liao, because he was a martial artist and a general, few people knew what he said. If it hadn't been for the disciple Wu Jail, whom his master recognized before his death, Zhuo Rong would not have known this secret.

It's just... this matter is extremely dangerous because it involves the master... Zhuo Rong has never mentioned it to anyone, even his closest relatives.

Therefore, her feelings for Zhang Liao are special, and Zhang Liao and Ling Tong also show their brave and fearless side, so she will be more attracted to Zhang Liao——

On this side, Zhuo Rong was still sparing no effort to save Zhang Liao, while on the other side, Cao Zhen took advantage of the confusion and slipped to the door.

He was observing the woman, but inadvertently, he heard a sentence.

It was exactly what Zhuo Rong said inadvertently - "It would be great if my master's sputum was scattered!"

Mabosan?
Mabosan!
This... How could Cao Zhen not know about Mafeisan?

How could Cao Zhen not know the owner of Mafeisan?
My master?
This…

Immediately, Cao Zhen realized the seriousness of this matter.

Even... this female doctor with a strange face called herself an old friend to General Zhang, and called him "Brother Zhang"!
Even Zhang Liao's expression when he saw her, and the affection in the eyes of the two of them... all of them became meaningful!
Cao Zhen didn't dare to be negligent, he smacked his mouth and said to himself:

"Hua Tuo's female disciple, she... She came here? How can there be good things? Isn't it to harm the prime minister and avenge her master?"

Thinking of this, Cao Zhen quickly turned around, and while he ordered his guards to keep a close eye on this place and the woman, he got on his horse and galloped towards the government office.

This matter was originally minor, but if it involves Zhang Liao, it is no small matter, and must be reported to the prime minister immediately——

...

...

In Xiangyang City, in the study of the prefect's office, Guan Lin thought of a question as soon as Lu Xun left.

He asked Lu Xun to go to "Guziyang" in Jiaozhou, it seems that the place is wrong...

At this moment, a poem appeared in Guan Lin's mind:

—— "The appearance of ice and snow, leaving the world and being independent. In the pavilion and empty valley, the cold majesty cannot be eroded. The mist and mist accompany it, and the jade and stone have its virtues!"

This is the poem "Ode to Guziyangbai Naidonghua" written by Zhao Faxian, a native of Jiaozhou in the Qing Dynasty!
In other words, Guziyang is an island outside Lingshan Temple in Jiaozhou, not an island outside Lingshan County, Jiaozhou...

Immediately, Guan Lin planned to send Lingju to Dashandong instead!
But as soon as this idea came up, Guan Lin figured out something was wrong. The person he was going to meet this time was a righteous man, one of the top ten or even top five existences in the Three Kingdoms!
Lingju...it's okay to let her assassinate, let her ask...how to save Zhang Liao, even if it's the opposite.

Immediately, Guan Lin pursed his lips, and couldn't help thinking carefully.

In fact...you can still let Lu Xun go, let him set off from Jiaozhou to see his clansmen, and then take the sea route near the sea to the island outside Lingshan Temple...

Then it was still up to him to visit this "senior" who was at the same time as Zhuge Liang!
Thinking of this, Guan Lin nodded slightly.

So decided.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help murmuring the last two lines of the song "Ode to the Guzi Yangbai Naidonghua" - a guest came from the sea, and he suspected it was Xu Yuanzhi.Clouds falling into the sky, can't be expected!

That's right...

The only one who was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han, and the only one who slipped out of Cao Ying under Cao Cao's nose, besides his father Guan Yu, was Xu Yuanzhi.

This is completely different from the records in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

According to the description in the official history, although Xu Shu went to Cao Ying because of Xu's mother, Xu's mother did look up to Liu Bei and regarded Cao Cao as a traitor.

But in fact, after Xu Shu arrived at Cao Ying, Xu's mother never jumped into the well at all, and Xu Shu didn't say a word, only to offer advice to Cao Cao...

He still spared no effort in educating his disciple Cao Chong.

And Xu Shu left after Cao Chong was bitten to death by a snake.

Guan Yu led Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi through five passes and defeated six generals, and returned to Liu Bei's side.

Xu Shu left Cao Ying with his mother...

But this matter is very strange, Cao Cao is such a person who can't rub the sand in his eyes, will he let Xu Shu take his mother and leave him like this?

Impossible, absolutely impossible——

On the other side, Guan Lin was thinking carefully.

In Shouchun City on the other side, there was a "bang", Cao Cao slapped the table, and the ink on the table was splashed.

On the other hand, his tiger eyes were condensed, and his whole body seemed to be full of anger.

"Hua Tuo? It's really lingering! His disciples are smarter, and they know how to start with those around him!"

Following Cao Zhen's report and Cao Cao's fury, Cheng Yu's eyeballs twitched, and he said softly, "Could it be a mistake? After all, this woman is treating General Zhang!"

Cheng Yu originally proposed another possibility...a misunderstanding!

Never thought, "Huh..." Cao Cao snorted coldly, his tiger eyes became tighter, and his tone became colder, "Hua Tuo also said that he can cure Gu's disease! But he wants Gu Li Skull opening with an axe? Does Gu also follow him?"
