Chapter 8 The Heroes of the Troubled Times
Mu Shan had a good impression of Cao Cao, a child of a family who had no shelf, and said with a smile: "My name is Mu Shan, I haven't worn a crown yet, and I don't have a watch for the time being." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince you don't think I'm from a humble background, call me by my first name. ”
"Okay, that's it, you call me Apu, I call you Mushan, we will be brothers from now on."
Cao Cao's chest snapped, and he said in a reluctant: "In the Heavenly Sword Sect, my Cao Apu still has a bit of status, if the children of those stubborn families with goatees dare to trouble you, you can come to me, and I will stand up for you." But you have to be a little measured, and it's okay to teach them a lesson, but you must not kill them, otherwise I won't be able to protect you. ”
"Hehe, you're such an interesting person." Mu Shan looked at Cao Cao's heart-to-heart appearance and said, "Don't forget that you are also a child of a family, how can you help me a poor boy." ”
"Since ancient times, heroes have been reckless, whose ancestors did not start from scratch and spell out fame. Those incompetent people who only know that they rely on the blessings of their ancestors will sooner or later become reckless again, so why bother! ”
Cao Cao turned around and spat in the direction of Yuan Shu, and said righteously: "Now that the traitorous eunuch is in charge, the ministers instigated the saint to sell the official mantle, causing disasters in the world, and the people are complaining. The chaos is imminent, it will be the time when the capable people live in the temple and hold the Ding, and it is ridiculous that those pretentious children of the family are still teasing birds and walking dogs, and they are ashamed to be with such people! ”
"Ah Pu, I didn't expect you to have such knowledge." Mu Shan looked at the unremarkable Cao Cao beside him again, and suddenly came to his senses: "...... Cao Cao, I remember, the master specially instructed me not to mix with you and Yuan Shao." ”
Mu Shan took away Cao Cao's arm on his shoulder, pulled two or three steps away from him, and looked at him with a gaze that began to change a little.
"Master? Who is your master? ”
Mu Shan listened to the three-six-nine and other remarks that Xu Shu had told him, and his face was slightly proud, and he said, "It is the Sword Sect Master, Wang Yue!" ”
"Oh!" Cao Cao's two thick eyebrows raised slightly, and he circled around Mu Shan and said, "Brother Mu, I didn't expect you to be able to worship under Uncle Wang, tsk, hidden deeply!" ”
"Uh-huh!" Mu Shan was pimpled when he saw Cao Cao's strange gaze, and immediately cleared his throat and asked rhetorically, "Cao ...... Eh, why did the master tell me not to mix with you, did you do something to be a traitor? ”
"Come on, you." Cao Cao stepped forward and patted Mu Shan's shoulder, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Still pretending to be with me." Let's go, let's go to the dormitory first, I'll explain it to you in detail. ”
Cao Cao took Mu Shan to a row of low houses behind the attic, and in front of an ordinary side room, he unceremoniously raised his foot and kicked open the door, and walked in with a big grin: "This one is relatively clean, and there are fewer people, so you can live here in the future." ”
"Who?" The people in the room jumped up one after another, and by the moonlight outside the house, they saw that it was Cao Cao, so they endured the resentment in their stomachs and continued to lie down to sleep.
"Cao Apu, you guy who should kill a thousand knives, and you disturb people's dreams at night, it's really lacking in virtue."
"Xu You, why don't you talk too much." Cao Cao glanced at the person who still refused to lie down with disdain, and said, "Why, I didn't follow Fat Dun to Luoyang to live happily, or Fat Dun didn't want to bird you at all." ”
"You ......" Xu Yu was choked for a while, and said indignantly: "Hmph, I don't talk to the eunuch later, and I lost my identity on the ground." ”
"After the eunuch......" Mu Shan heard this, looked at Cao Cao, whose face turned purple beside him, and said: "Ah Gou, don't forget what you said, heroes don't ask where they come from, their ancestors have long been ancient, and now they still have to judge heroes with their own abilities." ”
"What a big breath!" Xu You stood in the dark, looked at Mu Shan carefully, and said leisurely after a while: "White hair...... It can't be those wild species of foreign barbarians, right? No wonder, like gathers, huh! ”
"You ......" Mu Shan was angry when he heard that the other party dared to scold him for a wild seed, and he wanted to teach him a good lesson at the moment, if it wasn't for Cao Cao's pull, he was afraid that Xu Yu would not be able to escape from a beating.
"Don't worry about the villains of that kind of power, let's sleep together tonight and have a good chat."
There are only two rows of large kangs in the house, and there is a washstand in front of the kang. Cao Cao pulled Mu Shan and went straight to a relatively spacious kang in the corner of the wall to lie down.
Mu Shan was curious in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Pu, what that guy said ......"
"He's right." Cao Cao smiled indifferently and said in a low voice: "My father Cao Song is Cao Teng's adopted son, and now the eunuchs are raging, and sooner or later he will not die well. Brother Mu, you still listen to Uncle Wang's words, and after tomorrow, you will treat it as if you don't know me. But if you really encounter something that can't be solved, you can still come to me, and I will definitely help you if you can. ”
"Ah, what you said is out of sight." Mu Shan glared at Cao Cao angrily and said, "How can I, Mu Shan, be the kind of villain who forgets his righteousness for profit and is unkind!" ”
"Hey, hey, I know you're not." Cao Cao smiled proudly and said, "I just saw that you are not afraid of goatees, so I knew that you were a bloody man and worth befriending." Sure enough, my eyes are still good. ”
"You guy......" Mu Shan knew that it was Cao Cao who provoked him with words just now, and immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Since you have such a family, why don't you ask to be released as an official, so as to benefit the people." ”
Mu Shan thought of what happened to him in Nanping County, thought of the inexplicable crime he was carrying, and said abruptly: "In today's world, a good parent official is much more important to the people than His Majesty the Emperor, who is far away. ”
"To tell you the truth, I did have the ambition of yours, but now I am like a mouse in a bellows, angry at both ends."
Cao Cao seemed to remember the past, sighed in amazement, and said: "I was raised as filial piety at the age of twenty and entered Luoyang, Kyoto as a lang. Soon, he was appointed as the northern lieutenant of Luoyang to maintain law and order in Luoyang. Luoyang is a place where princes and nobles live, and there is no need to say how much management there is. ”
"But since it was the Son of Heaven who was ordained, even if I didn't want to fight for my life, I Cao Agui can't disgrace the mission." Cao Cao's words changed sharply, and he said righteously: "Since I took office, I have affirmed the prohibition and strict law and discipline, and made more than ten five-colored sticks, which are hanging around the yamen, and have been used as a deterrent. ”
"Of course, it is inevitable to kill chickens and monkeys." When Cao Cao said this, his face was complicated: "It's just that I didn't expect that the chicken I killed would be the uncle of Jian Shuo, one of the ten permanent servants today." Tut-......tut, since I killed Jian Tu on the spot, the whole of Luoyang was really suppressed, and no one dared to break the law and discipline anymore. ”
When Mu Shan heard this, he couldn't help but praise Cao Cao: "Okay, if you don't dare to make a difference as an official, it is better to stay at home and farm more freely!" ”
"Hehe, this is pure heart." Cao Cao spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Now those famous families regard me as the descendant of eunuchs, and those eunuchs are even more eager to skin and tear me apart, this is my current situation." ”
"Uh......" Mu Shan was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a moment, he comforted: "Ah Gou, as long as the little life is still there, can't everything be done again." I think that Han Gaozu was almost chased like a lost dog by the overlord of Chu, and he didn't survive it in the end......"
"But, Ah Pu, I'm curious......" Mu Shan approached Cao Cao's side and muttered in a low voice, "Honestly, do you regret killing Jian Tu in the first place?" ”
"Of course there is, young and impulsive, regardless of the consequences......" Cao Cao looked at Mu Shan's eyes that gradually turned into disdain, and hurriedly said: "I mean to use more brains in doing things, if it were me who was to deal with the case at that time, I would be sure to kill Jian Tu, and let Jian Shuo be grateful to me, believe it or not." ”
The disdain in Mu Shan's eyes suddenly turned into contempt, and his head shook like a rattle.
"If that's the case at that time......" Cao Cao leaned into Mu Shan's ear and muttered quietly.
As the night deepened, the snoring sounded in the dormitory, mixed with the whispers of Mu Shan and Cao Cao, until the east began to brighten white.
