This world is occupied by jackals, tigers and leopards, and tiger cubs can be born in the tiger's den.

The reason why Chen Guo escaped the war was not because of meritocracy, not because of kindness.

It is because the princes and kings here can fight, because the princes and kings here have hidden five hundred crossbows in the palace.

It's funny to say, but the truth is that before anyone notices, the world's scales have quietly tilted in favor of troubled times.

The hungry people were starving, and they did not dare to step forward for fear of the bright armor and bright knives of Ma Yue and his party.

Along the way, they slowed down because of the heavy driving, and the journey that could be reached in three days was almost ten years, and the slower he walked, the more heartache he felt.

Six hundred miles away, Ma Yue saw the homeless people, they were faltering, their faces were yellow and thin, and they were hungry.

Seeing too much, he became numb.

He really thought about splitting the funeral box that Liu Hong rewarded Qiao Xuan with a knife, fifteen caravans, and more than 100 gold in funeral goods, enough to feed thousands of displaced people.

But he couldn't.

With a knife split, except for Qiao Xuan lying in the coffin, all the living people in this world will probably blame him.

Liang Guo, Suiyang.

Arrived at the destination, everything became simple and easy, Ma Yue didn't have to do anything, just need to show sad emotions on behalf of Liu Hong.

All matters will be handled by Li Jian.

In this era, the social atmosphere advocates "thick death and mourning", and the funeral pays attention to a pomp, especially Qiao Xuan, a country's humerus who even the Son of Heaven has issued an edict to bury the humerus, and it must reflect the spirit and be worthy of the hard work of Captain Qiao.

Singing and dancing, burial jade, ironware, fired horse pottery car, everything.

He successively served as Shaofu, Dahonglu, Sikong, Situ, and Taiwei. The three princes and nine seals used for the funeral, and five of the twelve official positions were used for the funeral.

The work of reconstructing the cemetery, levied hundreds of people's husbands, Liu Hong granted permission to give the bridge Xuanhuang intestine inscription, and dealt with the tomb according to the specifications of the princes and kings, which cost a lot of money, and the bridge Xuan's family was surrounded by four walls, and the money was directly from the treasury.

In fact, the mausoleum does not need to be built, because Qiao Xuan's disciple Wang Qian is a very filial person, as early as the day of the end of the hunting, the general Shi Wang Qian has been running to Yuzhou day and night, and it is rare to be generous with the stingy Liu Hong, although he is holding the money in the treasury.

Qiao Xuan's tomb is larger than the house he lived in during his lifetime.

There were thousands of guests who came to mourn, most of them were old people who had retired to leisure, as well as former protégés and former officials, and in the crowd, Ma Yue saw Cao Cao.

Cao Cao Tie's face was blue, he didn't cry with others, he just stood aside and looked at this side from a distance, wearing linen and filial piety.

Qiao Xuan didn't have many friends before his death, he offended many people by being honest all his life, and most of the people who came to mourn were the old and the young, and there were not many people at the level of the county guarding the country, and Cao Cao was the biggest one with an official position.

Jinan phase.

The crowd was crying and mourning, but Cao Cao was just standing.

The crowd offered money, jade, and Cao Cao just watched.

In Ma Yue's view, the worship situation is like a celebration, grand and magnificent, slaughtering three animals, and worshiping heaven and earth.

Ma Yue heard before that the Yuan family was mourned a few years ago, with tens of thousands of followers, one after another, and he thought it was mostly an exaggeration at the time, but now it is not an exaggeration at all.

After the funeral, life and death ascended to heaven, Qiao Xuan's life made great achievements, but it had nothing to do with Ma Yue. Even when Qiao Xuan was alive, Ma Yue and him just passed by in a hurry during the court meeting, and he didn't have much emotion.

The crowd dispersed together, Cao Cao didn't leave, so Ma Yue didn't leave either.

From Cao Cao's disgraced expression, Ma Yue knew that Cao Cao needed a friend by his side at this time more than anyone else...... Today, Cao Cao didn't even have an entourage by his side, no one patted the dust on his clothes, he even wore a small national seal around his waist, his hair was unkempt, there was even a handful of muddy stains on his face, and his dark eyes looked tired and sad.

Jinan is 600 miles away from here.

Riding alone, riding fast, day and night.

Ma Yue looked at Cao Cao and read these three words.

Waving goodbye to Li Jian and the others, Ma Yue stood quietly beside Cao Cao, and then he realized that Cao Cao was carrying a wine jug and a wrapped boiled chicken in his hand.

Most of the funeral guests who came today left some things for Qiao Xuan's family, some left money, some left cattle and horses, but Ma Yue didn't see anyone who left boiled chicken.

"Three, Saburo." After waiting for a long time, Cao Cao's voice was dry and hoarse, "In your life, do you have any special thanks?" ”

Ma Yue didn't answer, he knew that what Cao Cao wanted to hear was not his answer.

I saw Cao Cao slowly walking to the tombstone, putting the wine pot and boiled chicken in front of the tombstone, there were no tears in his eyes, but his tone was unusually deep: "In the third year of Jianning, my father asked me to visit Qiao Situ, and the old man did not think that I was vulgar and had a bad reputation and turned me away, but treated me personally, no one cared at that time, no one understood, what Cao Mengde was!" That year, the old man just came down from the north and told me about what happened when he was the general of Duliao, and then asked me about my ideals, and at that time I said, I want to be like the boss, guard the frontier, and be the general of the Han Dynasty in the future! ”

In the third year of Jianning, Cao Cao at that time did not even become the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, and his stubborn reputation spread all over Luoyang City.

"The old man said back then, if the world is chaotic in the future, this burden will fall on the shoulders of my generation, and persuade me to stop being greedy for fun, learn the art of war and read more poetry and books, as if he is an old man who can go out and enter the phase. Without the painstaking cultivation of the old man, where would I be today? ”

Listening to Cao Cao's eloquent words, Ma Yue's heart was silent, and Qiao Xuan's pure and seductive tone and expression had already appeared in his mind, and he also imagined the appearance of Meng De, a naughty boy with a horn on his head, sitting on the side and looking around.

"My lord, you once said that one day in the future when you are gone, if Apo passes by your tombstone and does not bring a bucket of wine and a chicken to worship you, you will use your supernatural powers to make Apu take three steps and have a stomachache, Apo brought both chicken and wine, although you are joking, but if it is not for a close relationship, how can you say such a thing?" Cao Cao's words were no longer for Ma Yue to hear, but with his back against the tombstone, he tore open the boiled chicken, poured a sip of wine with his head high, and poured a piece of wine under the tombstone, and the newly turned land was immediately soaked like Cao Cao's eyes.

"Since your death, I feel sad whenever I think about the past. I always remember this sentence when a confidant dies. Now that the yellow scarf has been calmed down and the border troubles are rising again, Cao Apo will not forget your Chunchun teachings, and must shoulder the heavy responsibility of stabilizing the world, even if you are no more, I will carry the world of the Han Dynasty for you! ”

Cao Cao turned his back to Ma Yue and bowed reverently towards the tombstone.

That's the etiquette that can only be done in the face of the father.
