Chapter 1176: Blackmail, Jokes
Liu Yu thought for a while, and felt that what Liu Xiu said was very right, but there were also some debatable points, so he said: "If things are indeed as Xiu'er said, it will naturally be very good, but if when Zhong Changtong gathers the remnants of the Golden Wind Drizzle Building, Cao Cao sends another person to lead this force, then aren't we busy in vain?" ”
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "If Guo Jia's side also goes well, then the masters and principals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family who stayed in Yuyan Erzhou have already suffered casualties. : 3. Zhong Changtong is Cao Xiong's sworn brother, and has a certain prestige among the people of the Golden Wind Drizzle Building, and he himself is also a congenital master with a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, so the concubine is more than seventy percent sure that Cao Cao will appoint Zhong Changtong as the head of the two states of Yu Yan. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Cao Cao sends someone else to take charge, he will reuse Zhong Changtong, the 'old man'! Since this is good for us and harmless, why shouldn't the husband do it? ”
Liu Yu was persuaded, stood up and prepared to go to the study to give a new order to Zhong Changtong, but he didn't want to be pulled by Liu Xiu again. She pouted and said, "Husband, what are you doing in such a hurry?" The concubine's words are not finished yet! ”
Liu Yu hurriedly sat down again, and said with a flattering smile: "I don't know what else the lady has to say, listen to my husband here!" ”
Liu Xiu glanced at Liu Yu, and said, "Husband, although this plan is beneficial to us and harmless, its executor is extremely crucial, and there is no room for the slightest mistake. ”
Liu Yuleng paused for a moment and asked, "What, do you think Zhong Changtong is not suitable to be this executor?" ”
"Not really." Liu Xiu shook his head lightly and said, "Zhong Changtong is a person with strong martial arts and outstanding intelligence, and he is really the best person to carry out this plan. But this man is extremely ambitious. And the heart is ruthless, the concubine has a backbone in the back of her head, I am afraid that she will raise a tiger for trouble! ”
After listening to her words, Liu Yu couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and said, "Xiu'er, didn't I tell you?" No matter how big he is, there is a way for my husband to be loyal to me! ”
Liu Xiu sighed and said a little helplessly: "Since you are so confident, husband. The concubine won't say anything more, but please be careful with your husband! ”
Liu Yu patted Liu Xiu's crystal jade little hand with tenderness, and said gently, "Don't worry." Baby, husband knows it! ”
###########################################################
The Zhong Chang, who was respectfully standing at the table, knelt on the ground when he saw Liu Yu, and saluted Liu Yu with a pious expression and tone: "My subordinates see Xiangye." ”
Seeing his loyal appearance, Liu Yu used the charm technique without saying a word. Anyway, I haven't seen the name "Zhong Changtong" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It also does not affect Liu Yu to play a real game of the Three Kingdoms. So, just to be on the safe side, so be it! So, three minutes later, Liu Yu had another good slave who was absolutely stupid and loyal.
"Zhong Changtong, are your injuries all right?" Even if he is a minion, Liu Yu will care.
Zhong Changtong lay at Liu Yu's feet with five bodies on the ground, and said in a trembling voice with tears in his eyes: "The slave has thanked the master for his concern!" Although the minion was shocked and injured in the internal organs. But the master is blessed with great fortune, and even the minions are also benefited. Yesterday, I ate three white cloud bear bile pills given by the master. After another night's work, I woke up this morning! ”
"Good, good." Liu Yu nodded and said, "You should know what I came to you for, right?" ”
"The slave knows." Zhong Changtong said viciously: "The master is wise and martial, and he helps all sentient beings, Cao Xiong and the thieves of the Golden Wind Drizzle Building are protected by the wings of the master, not only do they not know gratitude, but they blindly obey the evil Cao Cao to oppose the master, which is simply a crime that cannot be punished." Please rest assured that the minions will definitely find them all out and kill them all, so that they can take a little breath of evil for the master! ”
Liu Yu suddenly felt a little bad, because people who fell into the art of charm would worship Liu Yu as a god, and they couldn't tolerate even the slightest disrespect for Liu Yu, if he was really asked to go undercover, I am afraid that it would be easy to have something like "a bloody case caused by an insulting word against Liu Yu". It's not going to be easy......
Liu Yu frowned, thinking hard about how to solve the problem. And this seems to have caused Zhong Changtong's misunderstanding, he first attracted Liu Yu's attention with a heavy kowtow, and then said with an extremely firm expression: "Please believe in the slaves, the slaves will definitely kill those who don't know what to do, and create a peaceful world for the master!" ”
"I'm sure you're more than capable of getting rid of that trash for me!" Liu Yu regretted using the charm technique a little, he should have tried the Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill first, but now it was too late to regret it, looking at Zhong Changtong, who had become a little excited because of his words, Liu Yu frowned and said: "But the problem now is that I hope to find someone to break into the enemy's interior and let the enemy's power be used by me." Can you do this? ”
Fortunately, the art of charm will not damage people's intelligence, Zhong Changtong fell into contemplation after listening to Liu Yu's words, looking at his appearance, Liu Yu couldn't help but ignite a glimmer of hope. After a while, Zhong Changtong woke up from his contemplation, his eyes looking at Liu Yu were full of pain, and he said slowly in a deep voice: "Please hand over this task to the slave, for the great cause of the master, the slave will definitely endure the humiliation!" ”
Liu Yu was made to laugh and cry by his demeanor and tone, but it was not good to hit him, so he could only say: "Then this matter will be handled by you with full authority, you only need to be responsible for me, and you don't have to obey other people's orders." ”
Zhong Changtong replied with a chaste appearance: "Please rest assured that the master is born as the master's person, and the death is the master's ghost, and he will never obey others!" ”
Liu Yu endured the discomfort in his heart and continued: "In addition, you must remember two things: first, at the beginning of the reorganization of forces, you should try to ask for more financial assistance from Cao Cao; Second, after the new forces are successfully formed, they should try to hand over as little money and favorable news to Cao Cao as possible. ”
Zhong Changtong nodded and said, "Remember, minion!" ”
Liu Yu let out a satisfied "um". He added: "If you have something important in the future, just use the 'Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Technique' to call me, don't bother me if it's okay!" "The Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Technique is a skill similar to a spell, although there are many cultivators. But there are only a few people who can really transmit sound thousands of miles away, such as Liu Yu, Zuo Ci and Nanhua. Although Zhong Changtong was not a cultivator, his soul had Liu Yu's spiritual power attached to him, so if he wanted to talk to Liu Yu, Liu Yu would be able to sense it. Of course, the Qianli Voice Transmission Technique imprinted in his mind was a special line for communicating with Liu Yu only, and he had no way to contact other people!
After sending Zhong Changtong away, Liu Yu ordered someone to call Cao De again, intending to squeeze his surplus value. While waiting for Cao De. Liu Yu boredly flipped through the books on the shelf, but found that it was either "University" or "Analects". This made Liu Yu very dissatisfied. You said that you Cao Xiong have been messing around in the rivers and lakes, why are you still reading these books? Could it be that you still plan to take the Guozijian or Songyang Academy? Isn't it good to put some spring-palace diagrams here? Really! However, this also reflects the lack of spiritual life of the people in today's society.
In fact, Liu Yu had plans to publish newspapers and magazines a long time ago, but because the conditions at that time were not mature, he had to give up. But now it's different: first, the imperial court has shared a voice with Liu Yu to speak; Second, the scientific researchers of Xingchanglong Trading Company have improved papermaking and invented movable type printing under Liu Yu's suggestion; Finally, the transportation in Liu Yu's sphere of influence is very convenient. Even if it was from Luoyang to Youzhou, it only took ten days. So Liu Yu decided. After a certain period of time, two newspapers and one magazine will be set up to enrich the spiritual life of the people.
At this time, Cao De, who was still blue and swollen, had been helped in by a back-and-back army, and looking at him like that, he knew that the doctor who accompanied the army did not give him a special ointment. After Liu Yu invited him to sit down, he found that his pig-headed face was trembling slightly, and Liu Yu couldn't help asking, "Second Master Cao, are you okay?" ”
Cao De said with a bitter face: "Liu Xiangye, don't look at your close attendant as a woman, but that hand is stronger than mine!" Ouch. It hurts me to death! ”
Liu Yu looked at him with sympathetic eyes and said, "So, Second Master Cao, you can't make the trip in the near future?" ”
Cao De was taken aback. hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Liu Xiangye?" Are you going to leave me alone? ”
Liu Yu smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "No, because we still have to stay here for a while, so I plan to send someone to send Second Master Cao back to Chang'an first, but it looks like we will have to live together for a while!" ”
Cao De breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Yes, in my current situation, I will have to recuperate for at least a month before I can return to Chang'an!" During this time, I will trouble Liu Xiangye! ”
"Well said, well said." Liu Yu said with a haha.
Cao De said a few polite words to Liu Yu, and then said with a cold breath: "Liu Xiangye, if you have nothing to do, I want to go back and lie down." Sitting like this, I feel pain all over! ”
"Okay, okay." Liu Yu replied repeatedly, and when he was about to say goodbye, Liu Yu deliberately said in a casual tone: "Doesn't Second Master Cao have to give Cao Taiwei a letter to seal the family to report his safety?" ”
After listening to Liu Yu's words, Cao De couldn't help nodding again and again, and said, "Thanks to Liu Xiangye's reminder, otherwise my brother will definitely be worried!" ”
Liu Yu let go of the desk and said with a smile: "Second Master Cao, you come here to write." ”
Cao De thanked him repeatedly, and then walked over and wrote with a slight trembling. Liu Yu listened to his gasping and snorting from time to time, while looking at his crooked handwriting, and finally couldn't help but say: "Second Master Cao, are you sure that Taiwei Cao can recognize this as a letter from your family?" ”
Cao De glanced at his ghost drawing note speechlessly, and then looked at Liu Yu pitifully and said, "Why don't you write it for me, Xiangye Liu!" ”
"It's okay to help you write," Liu Yu glanced at Cao De, who was full of joy, and said, "However, I'm afraid that the letter I ghostwrote can't win the trust of Mrs. Cao, right?" ”
Cao De disappreliantly took off a necklace from his neck with a slightly trembling hand, handed it to Liu Yu and said, "Liu Xiangye, please send this golden lock to my brother along with the letter you wrote, as long as he sees this, he won't believe it!" Ouch, Liu Xiangye, I really can't stand it, I'll trouble you about this, I'll go back and lie down first! Seeing Liu Yu nodding, the soldier of the Beiwei Army who helped Cao De come in helped Cao De out again.
Liu Yu looked at Cao De's back and sighed, this second master Cao was too cooperative. The various means that Liu Yu had conceived in his heart before had already achieved their goals before they had a chance to be used! Alas, poor Cao Cao......
Liu Yu played with this necklace that looked very similar to the longevity lock worn by children, and the back of the exquisitely crafted gold lock was engraved with eight words: "My son Cao De." Both longevity and prosperity", and the front is engraved with two vivid images of "Cunyi". The lion, also known as the golden lion, resembles a lion, likes to be quiet and does not like to move, is easy to sit, and likes fireworks. It is mostly used for decoration on Buddha seats and incense burners. With the introduction of Buddhism from India to China during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the image of the fox became familiar. In addition, he is also the fifth son of the "dragon" in Chinese mythology and legend. However, this theory only spread after the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Now, it's just a protector beast in a Buddhist story, and it has nothing to do with dragons!
Liu Yu took a piece of paper again and thought for a while. Only then did he write a letter to Cao Cao. It reads as follows:
"Brother Mengde. Your younger brother Cao De covets the prosperity of my Yuyan Erzhou and refuses to return to Chang'an, although his money has been spent, he still relies on your momentum to eat and drink in the Golden Wind Drizzle Building during the day, and sleep in the six and a half halls at night. As a former colleague of yours, I have helped him pay off his debts. But if you want him to return to Chang'an, you have to pay me back first, and then discount you with interest. A total of 200,000 taels of gold. If you're not willing to spend the money, that's okay. I will let your brother go to Bingzhou to mine for me, and it is estimated that I can pay off the arrears after digging for 20,000 years! Okay, don't write more, you can do it! ”
After writing in such popular words, Liu Yu read it carefully several times, then nodded with satisfaction, called a soldier of the Beiwei Army to come in, and asked him to bring the letter and the golden lock back to Luoyang and hand it over to Youheng, and then let Youheng send it to Chang'an in the form of a diplomatic letter. Next, Liu Yu plans to go to Feng Ying to take a look, although this may deepen her misunderstanding, but since Liu Xiu and the others have agreed, what else is Liu Yu afraid of? Let it be!
The bedroom where Feng Ying lived at this time was not like Zaochen, and it would not be too much to describe it as full of people. The room, which was still empty in the morning, is now crowded with plum blossoms and beauties! As soon as they saw Liu Yu, Luan Fengwei's girls first shook their heads, and then they all saluted happily: "My subordinates see Xiangye!" ”
Liu Yu shook his hand at them with a smile, and said gently: "It's all my own people here, don't be so polite, it looks raw!" ”
The girls looked at each other and replied in unison: "Yes, Xiangye." ”
Liu Yu rolled his eyes helplessly, and walked in front of Feng Ying amid the laughter of the girls. Looking at the peerless beauty in front of him, although she had a sick face on her face, but her eyes were full of brilliance, Liu Yu couldn't help but ask with concern, "Have you eaten breakfast?" ”
Feng Ying's pretty face turned red, she first glared at the coaxing girls next to her viciously, and then said softly: "Eat, it's the eight-treasure porridge sent by Mrs. Zou." ”
"Eight treasure porridge...... Liu Yu nodded, sat on the edge of her bed, and said to her who was too shy: "That is the medicinal porridge made by Zhiruo according to the prescription provided by Amaranth, which has the function of replenishing qi and generating blood, which is suitable for you now, how many bowls have you eaten?" ”
Feng Ying didn't dare to look at Liu Yu at all, she cast her eyes on Liu Yu's chest, and replied softly, "I only ate one bowl." ”
After listening to her words, Liu Yu couldn't help frowning, and said in a questioning tone: "Why don't you eat a little more, how can you ...... a bowl of it?"
Luo Li'er next to her didn't seem to be able to listen anymore, she interjected: "My Xiangye, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, Mrs. Wu also specially told her subordinates, saying that Ah Ying can't eat too much food at all now, and a small bowl of porridge for each meal is fine!" Isn't that a deliberate attempt to keep her in bed for a few more days when you tell her to eat more bowls? ”
Liu Yu laughed a few times, and before she had time to apologize to Feng Ying, she had already spoken for Liu Yu: "Luo Li'er, don't complain about Xiangye, he is caring about me, I am willing to listen to him!" ”
Luo Li'er glanced at Liu Yu, then snorted heavily, and said to Feng Ying angrily: "I don't care about you, you can do whatever you want!" ”
Although Liu Yu was very puzzled by Luo Li'er's actions, he didn't want to see the two sisters discord because of himself, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about food, I'll tell you a joke, right?" ”
As soon as she said this, not only Feng Ying and Luo Lier were interested. Even the Luan Fengwei next to him shouted for Liu Yu to speak.
Liu Yu thought for a while, then cleared his throat and said, "It is said that a monk met a nun who was also in that place when he went out to make a relationship. In order to monopolize the incense money, he made a couplet for the nun and asked the nun to make one too. He also said that if the nun didn't come out, he had to leave, and if the nun did, then he left. ”
Luo Li'er said dissatisfiedly: "This monk is really unreasonable, why does he want to drive other nuns away!" ”
"Alright, Gillil. Listen to Xiangye, don't interrupt! ”
Liu Yu coughed and continued: "The monk's uplink is 'there is nothing to hang during the day'. The next link is 'it's okay to hang at night', and the horizontal batch is 'nothing to do'. The nun didn't think about it, and the upper link is 'white sky hole', and the lower link is 'empty hole at night'. Horizontal batch is 'responsive'! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yu laughed. But after a while he realized that something was not quite right, and he was startled when he saw it. The girls, including Feng Ying and Feng Ying, all looked at him blankly, Liu Yu couldn't help touching his face and asked, "What's the matter, why are you all looking at me?" Aren't the jokes funny? ”
Luo Li'er glanced at Liu Yu disdainfully, pouted and said, "Aren't they just two pairs?" I don't know what's funny! ”
Feng Ying looked at Liu Yu with admiration and said, "Xiangye, the joke you said is so profound, we didn't understand it. Can you explain that to us? ”
Isn't "hanging" synonymous with that thing in this era? Liu Yu introspected himself in his heart, and then said to Feng Ying, who was looking at him with a look of hope: "Forget it." I'll talk about another one! ”
"Yes, yes!" The hope on Feng Ying's face immediately turned into expectation.
Liu Yu thought about it for a while, and finally found a joke that they should understand, so he said: "It is said that a monk decided to go to the Western Elysium to obtain the true scriptures in order to purify sentient beings. On the way, I met a banshee, looking at its breasts-plump-buttocks-fat, her eyes were blurred, she couldn't help but feel angry, and wanted to force sexual intercourse, and the banshee exclaimed, "Elder, the little woman is menstruating, and it may be inconvenient to have sex." After hearing this, the monk put his hands together and said, 'Amitabha, the poor monk is here to learn the scriptures'! ”
After speaking, Liu Yu nervously paid attention to the expressions of the girls, and found that they first looked at each other, and then dozens of pretty faces turned red together, followed by a burst of laughter. Liu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the joke worked, otherwise he wouldn't know what to say!
Feng Ying laughed and coughed a little, which scared Liu Yu and wanted to be comfortable for her. But the outstretched hand was beaten back by Luo Li'er, she smiled and said to Liu Yu with a vicious expression: "What do you want to do?" Ah Ying has a knife wound on her chest! If you really want to touch it, you have to wait until she recovers! ”
Unexpectedly, Feng Ying was not embarrassed by this sentence, but she looked at Liu Yu affectionately, and her charming look made Liu Yu's heart thump.
Just when Liu Yu and Feng Ying fell into **, Luo Lier began to make trouble again, and she asked loudly: "Xiangye, do you have a grudge against the monk?" Why do you keep talking about them? ”
Liu Yu thought about it and found that it was indeed the case, so he explained: "It's not enough to have hatred, it's just a little unaccustomed to them!" ”
Luo Li'er obviously didn't expect Liu Yu to say this, she paused for a moment, and then asked curiously: "Xiangye, why don't you look down on monks, they have been guiding people to be kind?" ”
"Lead people to goodness?" Liu Yu snorted disdainfully and said, "It's this 'leading people to goodness' that will harm the people of the Han Dynasty!" ”
After listening to Liu Yu's words, Luan Fengwei was taken aback, and before Luo Li'er could speak, Feng Ying rushed to let Liu Yu explain.
Liu Yu glanced at the girls who were about to listen attentively, and said slowly in a painful tone: "Now my Han can be said to be in a precarious situation, there are warlords in it, Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian, Liu Bei and others support their own troops, refuse to listen to the orders of the imperial court, and even Cao Cao openly supports the puppet emperor, which makes my Han people at a loss. And outside the wolves around, although the Huns, Wuhuan, and Xianbei in the north were scared by me, but their hearts that touched me have never disappeared, once they find an opportunity, they will definitely wave their troops south to herd horses in the Central Plains. The Shanyue and Nanban in the south have always been entrenched in the mountains and refused to submit to indoctrination, although they rarely raised troops to cause rebellion, but the plundering of the Han people occurred from time to time. And the Qiang Di in the West is the henchman of my Han Dynasty, in order to guard against them, an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 had to be stationed in Liangzhou. (To be continued.) )
