Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 101 Undercurrent

The atmosphere in Cao Cao's mansion was weird, and the atmosphere in Dong Cheng's mansion was not much better.

Ever since he met Liu Xie, Dong Cheng was in a state of excitement.For a while, he thought of the speechless Cao Cao he said in the early court, which convinced the officials; for a while, he thought that he used Liu Yu as foreign aid and gradually gained military power;

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit down at all, and kept walking back and forth in the room.Suddenly, he stopped, and while stroking his beard, he murmured: "The little emperor is right, I should get in touch with that Liu Yu. I rescue him, he will naturally be used by me, but Runan Is he still under his control? If not, he is not worthy of my rescue based on his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that Xudu prison is guarded by Cao Cao's heavy soldiers, so I can't get in at all.Well, what should I do?It is impossible to bribe the jailers, and those jailers cannot be bribed.Bing reported to Cao Cao, saying that he would go to prison to visit... yes, go to prison to visit, haha, that's it! "

Soon, a memorial to visit in prison was handed over to Cao Cao.Cao Cao read it once and put the memorial on the table.Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Xun Yu who was beside him: "Since General Dong is so nostalgic, how can I disagree if he wants to visit someone who was an official in the same dynasty in the past?"

"Sikong, Dong Cheng is probably doing it for..." Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, the confidants on the side immediately became anxious.

But Cao Cao stroked his beard, sighed, and said: "General Dong's colleagues are in prison, and he can still visit them from time to time. Oh, where can I find my old friends? Go, all go down."

All the confidantes looked at each other with wry smiles, although they were anxious, they didn't know what to say.They had no choice but to shake their heads and retreat.Only a few of them looked indifferent, and seemed to think that it was normal for Dong Cheng to visit his former colleagues.

"Wen Ruo, Mr. Cao is so decadent, why don't you persuade him?" A middle-aged man who is tall and strong, but looks a little thin suddenly appeared.He grabbed Xun Yu's hand and said in a deep voice.

Xun Yu saw the person asking questions, he didn't feel guilty or angry, he just smiled and said mysteriously: "Hehe, Zhongde really doesn't know?"

Zhong De is Cheng Yu's name, and this Cheng Yu is one of Cao Cao's several great advisers.However, Cheng Yu is different from Xun Yu and others, he is fierce and violent, and uses vicious tricks, so he is at odds with others.But Cao Cao trusted him, so he could use his own revenge.

"Haha, that's true." Cheng Yu laughed out loud when he heard Xun Yu's words, and then strode away without paying any attention to Xun Yu.The other officials around looked at the laughing Cheng Yu and pointed, apparently not understanding why he was smiling.

Xun Yu shook his head, laughed uncontrollably, and followed him out of Sikong Mansion.The others also formed into pairs, and walked out of Sikong Mansion while discussing.

"Haha, Cao Cao's mind is in a mess, God helped me." In Dong's study, Dong Cheng couldn't help laughing after receiving the news that Cao Cao agreed with him.

After laughing, Dong Cheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly picked up the brush and started to write at his desk.After writing for a while, he put down the brush, blew the ink on the paper, and smiled to himself: "In this way, the clothes are perfect, and we only need Liu Yu's answer."

With everything ready, Dong Cheng took a basket of food and drove his carriage to Xudu Prison the next day.Xudu prison is located in the southwest of Xudu. This is not a random layout, but a layout according to the five elements of yin and yang.

Soon, the carriage stopped and arrived at Xudu Prison.Dong Cheng lifted the curtain and walked down slowly.He looked up at Xu Du Prison, and couldn't help frowning, obviously unable to accept the environment of Xu Du Prison.

He looked at it for a while, took a deep breath, and walked over, resisting the discomfort.But before reaching the prison gate, he was stopped by two jailers.The faces of the two jailers were expressionless, as if black and white were impermanent, which made his scalp tingle.

"This is a pass order, please take a look." Dong Cheng is General Wei after all, and he has experienced a lot.So he quickly calmed down and handed the pass in his hand to the two jailers.

The jailer took it, only glanced at it, didn't speak, and directly opened the cell door expressionlessly.Dong Cheng glanced at them, then walked in with a basket.

After many turns and turns, finally at the bottom of the prison, Dong Cheng saw his colleague.In fact, he didn't know this colleague very well, but he had a way of making him submit.

"Hehe, Mr. Jin is safe and sound." Dong Cheng smirked, walked to the prison door and squatted down, whispering.

The man called Mr. Jin, with disheveled hair, did not even return Dong Cheng.Also, if he didn't have a bad temper, he wouldn't offend Cao Cao and be imprisoned here.

Dong Cheng didn't take it seriously, and continued to say: "Mr. Jin is hungry, Cheng brought some wine and food over." He said, and handed over the basket.

Mr. Jin didn't shirk, grabbed the basket and ate it without looking at Dong Cheng.

Anger flashed in Dong Cheng's eyes, but when he thought of his big plan, he still took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.In fact, he wasn't sure at first whether Liu Yu and this Mr. Jin were next door.If not, he could only take a risk and throw the steamed bun stuffed with a note to Liu Yu in prison.But he went around and saw that Liu Yu was next door, so he didn't plan to take any risks.

"Mr. Jin, do you still want to go out?" Dong Cheng approached Mr. Jin's ear and whispered.

Mr. Jin's hands trembled when he heard the words, and his eyes flashed, but he still didn't speak.Seeing the longing in his eyes, Dong Cheng continued to whisper: "If you want to go out, give that steamed bun to the person next door to you."

"Okay!" Mr. Jin replied in a low voice without hesitation after listening to Dong Cheng's words.

Hearing Mr. Jin's promise, Dong Cheng was afraid of attracting the attention of the jailer, so he chatted loudly with Mr. Jin.After a while, Dong Cheng stood up, smiled at Mr. Jin and said, "It's getting late today, so I'll go back first, and I'll come see you tomorrow."

After Dong Cheng finished speaking, he arched his hands again, and then turned and left.He didn't walk fast, and when he passed Liu Yu, he secretly glanced at Liu Yu.Seeing that Liu Yuchang was very strong and strong, although his face was a little pale, but his expression was indifferent, he couldn't help but praised in his heart: Liu Yu and Liu Yanzhang are so good, this person must not be a person who has earned his fame.

Not daring to look more, for fear of being noticed by the jailer, he only took a few glances before walking out quickly.

After he left, the sky gradually darkened, and until late at night, the jailers had already rested.Mr. Jin suddenly coughed a few times, then raised his head slightly, and whispered to Liu Yu next door: "Hey, boy, are you asleep?"

Liu Yu, who was pale, slowly opened his closed eyes, and coughed a few times.He was seriously injured before, but after taking a few ginseng pills, the injury has been curbed, and if he takes it for a few more days, he will probably recover.Naturally, the ginseng pills couldn't have been provided by the prison, but Xu Chulin had stuffed them for him when he left.

"What's the matter?" Liu Yu didn't answer the other party's words, but asked directly.

Mr. Jin deliberately coughed a few more times while he was talking.Hearing what Liu Yu said, he chuckled and said in a low voice: "I really don't know what's special about you, here it is, that guy in the daytime asked me to give it to you."

As he spoke, he took out a steamed bun from his clothes and handed it to Liu Yu.Liu Yu glanced curiously, pondered for a moment, opened the steamed bun, and pulled out the note inside.Then, he read it quickly and swallowed the note.

Mr. Jin on the side was a little curious, and asked several times in a low voice, but Liu Yu had already closed his eyes and slept, and ignored him at all.He looked at Liu Yu angrily, but seeing that the other party ignored him at all, he finally had to lie down and sleep.

On the second day, Dong Cheng came to the prison again, also brought food and wine, and also talked with Mr. Jin, but he didn't mention yesterday's steamed buns again.Mr. Jin couldn't figure it out, he still wanted to humiliate Liu Yu with this, in order to avenge being ignored last night, but Dong Cheng kept silent about it.

At first, he thought that the other party was waiting for the right opportunity.But until the end, he had already finished eating, and Dong Cheng didn't mention another word about the steamed buns.But he didn't know that Dong Cheng had already seen Liu Yu nodding to him as soon as he came in.In fact, Dong Cheng wrote a lot on the note, as long as Liu Yu nodded or shook his head, there was no need for a third person to convey it.

Seeing Mr. Jin with disheveled hair finished eating, Dong Cheng picked up the basket and left the prison quickly.
