Chapter 4: Balance

The next day, Cai Mao led some house slaves to carry the treasures given by the lord to the mansion near the city lord's mansion to visit door to door, but all the people who visited heard that they were going to be moved out of here showed a look of displeasure on their faces, but when they saw that the person who came was Cai Mao, as the head of the Cai family of several major families in Jingzhou, they had to give each other a few faces, and in the end, they learned that it was the master of the horse who was preparing to expand the mansion, so he could only eat coptis dumbly and couldn't say that he accepted the other party's conditions.

A few days of early departure and late return and the gossip of the surrounding neighbors naturally introduced Cai Mao's behavior to Cai Xueqing's ears.

On this day, Cai Mao was about to lead the family to rip off the houses of the big families that had moved away, and let his subordinates start to build the drawings that had been sent to build Afang Palace, Sword Pavilion, and Star Picking Tower, when he saw Cai Xueqing, the second sister wearing some pink dresses, standing at the door, as if waiting for herself, and then walked towards the other party with an embarrassed smile on her face, "Second sister, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”

Cai Xueqing saw her younger brother Cai Mao with a hippie smile, and instantly stretched out her snow-white palm and pinched the other party's ears with lightning speed, "Okay!" Say where did you get so much money to buy so many big mansions? ”

Feeling the sharp pain coming from her ears, Cai Mao couldn't help but make a pig-killing sound, "Hey, hey! My sister let go, these mansions were not bought by me, but by the lord! ”

As soon as she heard that Cai Mao's lord was Zhou Qi, Cai Xueqing's strength in pulling the other party's ears became a little smaller.

Seeing this, Cai Mao hurriedly dodged and pinched her red and swollen ears, and looked at each other with a resentful look on her face, like a deep resentful woman.

"Are you saying that Zhou Qi asked you to do these things?" Cai Xueqing directly filtered her younger brother's appearance and walked towards the other party, staring at her younger brother with a pair of eyes full of wisdom, if the other party's gaze dodged, she would definitely escape her own surveillance.

"Of course, my good sister, the lord is specially built for a woman to pick up the stars!" Cai Mao looked at her sister whose face changed slightly, and suddenly thought that she seemed to have said something wrong, and hurriedly ran outside quickly, for fear of seeing the other party's sad look, and at the same time, she was also a little dissatisfied with Zhou Qi in her heart, why not accept a talented girl like her sister as a harem.

Cai Xueqing was standing there in a daze at the moment, even if she didn't even notice how her younger brother Cai Mao left, her heart was empty but she didn't expect the other party to be able to build a star-picking tower for a woman, presumably this person must be very beautiful, and she couldn't help but walk towards the boudoir a little stunned.

As Cai Mao increased his manpower to build the three buildings of Sword Pavilion, Afang Palace, and Star Picking Tower, for a while, the heroes of the entire Han Dynasty once again knew about the feat of this concubine master, obviously they didn't expect that the other party could be so extravagant and wasteful, wouldn't it be better if it was used for arming the army.

In Cao Cao's study, everyone looked at the secret letter in their hands and a look of unconfidence flashed in their eyes, obviously not believing that Zhou Qi, the master of the horse, had done such a ridiculous thing, but the facts were there and there was no room for any rebuttal.

"The lord is really hateful this Zhou Qi Xiao'er, not to mention the construction of Afang Palace, but also prepared a star-picking pavilion, I don't even put Your Majesty in your eyes, if it is really built by the other party, I am afraid that Your Majesty's prestige will definitely drop to the lowest point?" Xun Yu's face was very ugly at the moment, as if he had come to the center like the bottom of a black pot that had not been washed for 10,000 years, and said angrily to the first place, Cao Cao, obviously very dissatisfied with Zhou Qi's handling of this matter.

"My lord! What Mr. Wen Ruo said is right, I can't let Zhou Qi'er get these two buildings right, otherwise there will be some heroes who will never put His Majesty in their eyes again, and they will be very unkind to your plan at that time

Sharp! Cheng Yu was also rare at this time and did not raise objections, and he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Qi'er blocking the rise of the lord.

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, he didn't know in his heart that he couldn't let Zhou Qi build it well, but how could the strength of the other party be something like himself could contend with, not to mention that the fierce generals under his command were like clouds, even if it was a soldier, he couldn't compete with it.

A literati once again came out and clasped his fists with both hands, "Lord, we don't need to send generals to fight, this time we can come to a soft one!" ”

"Soft?" Cao Cao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the other party with a blank look, as if asking what this soft one meant.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Xun You's mouth, and then he looked at the people present, "My lord, we can send a literati to Zhou Qi to denounce it, if the other party is really seriously injured and bedridden to the secret letter before, you can just use this opportunity to disgust the other party, and if you kill the literati we sent, you can also fall into the disease of others, and killing the literati and Confucian scholars will make the world laugh!" ”

Everyone present looked at Xun You, who looked like a little fox, and couldn't help but shudder in their hearts, and even made up their minds that they must not be enemies with the other party in the future, otherwise they don't know how to die.

Cao Cao was slightly stunned when he heard Xun You's words, and then he thought of something, and a pair of big eyes as black as ink widened, "Could it be that the person Gongda said is Zhengping?" ”

When everyone present heard this, a gray look flashed on their faces, and they felt very displeased with Zhengping, when someone asked how everyone under the lord's command was, this person actually said that Mr. Wen Ruo, who has Wang Zuozhi's talent, only has a good-looking face, and Zhao Zhichang is just a cook, so they are all unpopular goods, how can they not offend everyone?

Cao Cao didn't have a good impression of the arrogant Mi Heng, if he could send him to Xiangyang to make Zhou Qi lying on the incense couch half angry, it would be a skill, if the other party had a bad temper to kill a head, wouldn't he be able to use this matter to destroy the other party's reputation.

Which person can become Cao Cao's account may be a mediocre person, in Xun You's simple recommendation, everyone saw that the other party just used Zhou Qi to kill someone with a knife, and it was the kind of Qi Qiyang plot that Zhou Qi had to kill.

"Someone is coming, and Mi Heng is coming!" Cao Cao shouted to the guards outside the main hall, and soon a man wearing a cold and shining armor quickly ran towards the outside of the main hall.

Cao Cao saw that Jiading had gone to ask Mi Heng to close his eyes involuntarily, waiting for the time to pass minute by minute, as if in this way he could better know each other's understanding.

When the family member returned, Cao Cao looked at the emptiness behind the other party and there was no figure, obviously slightly stunned, and then heard the other party's voice coming: "Lord Mi Heng said that he couldn't come to see you because of his ill body!" ”

Cao Cao's face suddenly gloomy when he heard this, and a black dragon formed a black dragon like a substance, staring at the family Ding, "Zhengping deceives people too much, a certain family will definitely let you suffer from others!" ”

"How about a certain family leading a team of men to arrest that kid?" A burly man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist came out and asked loudly with his hands clenched into fists.

"How can Xu Chu talk like this, you must politely invite Zhengping over!" Cao Cao looked at his confidant Ai Jiang with a faint smile on his face, if he knew this person, he was obviously dissatisfied with Mi Heng, who was arrogant, and today's outbreak was just a foreshadowing of those things.

"Don't worry, my lord, Xu Chu will do things, you can rest assured!" The tiger idiot stretched out his burly and powerful palm and patted it heavily on his broad chest, and then

Strode towards the outside of the store.

Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know how long it took for there to be bursts of angry scolding, "Insulting Sven, insulting Sven!" The sound of cursing rang out in the hall.

"Who is coming?" Cao Cao looked at Mi Heng with a calm face, and waited until the other party was tired before slowly asking.

"Humph! Hurry up and let me go, or I'll look good with you! Mi Heng looked around with an ugly face, and everyone looked silent, how could he have thought that such a result would happen, seeing that the guards had come to Mi Heng's side and quickly untied the rope.

"Zhengping invited you this time just for Your Majesty, someone dared to build the Afang Palace and the Star Picking Pavilion with a rebellious look, only you can help the Han family to stand at the highest point from the beginning and criticize those who are vain courtiers!"

Mi Heng was originally a little dissatisfied, but when he saw the fierce and vicious appearance of the person he had captured before, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, and could only hide the words in his heart.

"Since the lord has recommended a certain family, then he should improve the task well, and then he can repay His Majesty's kindness through this matter!"

Everyone saw that the fish was hooked, and there was a treacherous look on their faces, and then they seemed to think that they were worried that the other party would find out that they could only hold their mouths hard and wait until the matter was over.

Cao Cao saw that Mi Heng was actually fighting with him and tempted, so he immediately took care for twelve minutes, but he didn't want to capsize in the gutter.

In the early morning of the next day, I saw Mi Heng leading some soldiers in the direction of Xiangyang, pouring a sip of wine into his mouth, looking at the beautiful scenery around him and saying the poetry of the literati.

Time is passing day by day, and the buildings of Afang Palace, Sword Pavilion, and Star Picking Tower have begun to take shape, and as long as they work hard, they can naturally be completed in time for the lord.

A group of dusty guests in front of the city gate hurried towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, obviously preparing to complete the oath made by Cao Cao as soon as possible.

When I came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, one by one had already disappeared, and now there were more vicissitudes of life when I left, "You go and tell the master of Jingzhou to come and greet me quickly!" ”

The family was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he didn't see any difference between such a strange guy, why did he let the head of the family greet him in person.

It seemed that he was afraid of delaying the lord's affairs, so he hurriedly ran towards the mansion, and at the same time let the rest of the family look at these guys.

"The lord is not good, there is a guy outside who claims to be Mi Heng asking to see him!" Fang Cai's family ran to the hall angrily, and then knelt down like the head of the family with his hands in fists.

"Miyo Heng?" Zhou Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect why the other party appeared here, if it is according to the trend of history, it can be determined that this person was given to Liu Biao by Cao Cao under the pretext.

Mi Heng is a well-known stinky mouth, if it weren't for the fact that the other party is a celebrity Liu Biao is not good at personally killing people, he can only use a borrowed knife to kill the other party to Huang Zu, Huang Zu's hot temper can stand the sarcasm of the other party, and he will be beheaded within a few days, and it is really sad to think that a famous Confucian priest died tragically under the butcher's knife like this.

"Brother quickly led the people to bring this person in, since everyone knows the news that I am seriously injured, how can I not let this person confirm it, but I can't help but be a little excited at the thought of conveying my fake news to Cao Cao through the other party, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to you, eldest brother!" Zhou Qi hurriedly lay on the incense couch, his originally ruddy face became extremely pale, cracks appeared at the corners of his mouth, and a violent cough sounded from time to time... to be continued
