Chapter 163: Who is the Yellow Sparrow (2)
"My lord. Mr. Xun Yu arrived. Xi Zhicai's face rarely showed a flush, and he looked high-spirited.
Cao Cao threw down the book, walked down barefoot and said, "Is Mr. Xun here?" β
A middle-aged scribe walked into the room with Xi Zhicai, and the popularity was extraordinary, with an awe-inspiring righteousness emanating from his body, a warm smile on his face, and a long beard fluttering slightly under his chin. It is Xun Yu Xun Wenruo.
"Wen Ruo, Wen Ruo, I miss me, you're finally here!" Cao Cao was so excited when he saw Xun Yu that he couldn't close his mouth.
He wasn't tall or good-looking. At this time, standing next to the tall and chic Xun Yu was even more ridiculous.
But at this moment, Xun Yu couldn't laugh at all, Xi Zhicai had written to him many times over the years, showing Cao Cao's love and solicitation for him, but he never agreed.
Now as soon as they met, Cao Cao came to receive him regardless of his image, this scene reminded him of seeing Lu Bu when he was on the grassland that year, it was a similar scene, but it was ......
With a secret sigh in his heart, Xun Yu smiled and said, "Gong Cao." β
Cao Cao didn't know what Xun Yu was thinking, but the other party was dissatisfied with his previous means of inviting him here.
It turned out that after Cao Cao knew the plan of Sima Fang and others to welcome the Son of Heaven, he sent Cao Hong to invite Xun Yu according to the address given by Xi Zhicai, and his original intention was to let Cao Hong invite people to come.
Who knows, Xun Yu was disheartened because of leaving Lu Bu at that time, so he planned to refuse Cao Cao's invitation, so he naturally did not prepare to come.
Who knows, Cao Hong, who was stunned, heard that Xun Yu did not agree to go, so he didn't care whether you were a famous Confucian or not, and immediately ordered the soldiers to tie up Xun Yu.
Fortunately, when Cao Hong returned to Yanzhou with Xun Yu, the Son of Heaven had already been welcomed, and Cao Cao also ordered the construction of the capital Xu County.
On the one hand, this news made Xun Yu feel a little complicated, and on the other hand, Cao Cao also felt relieved.
Cao Cao found an opportunity and hurriedly told Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Xian about Xun Yu, although he said it very tactfully, but the Emperor of the Han Xian naturally understood what Cao Cao meant.
Sure enough, under the personal order of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, Xun Yu accepted this fact, but he always declared that he was only loyal to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, but he would not call Cao Cao the lord.
But for Cao Cao, these are not important at all, he doesn't care about these vain people.
So at this moment, Cao Cao still thought that Xun Yu was still angry with him, and hurriedly invited Xun Yu into the house with a smile.
Wujin Mountain, Lou Wu's residence is brightly lit at the moment.
More than ten strong men sat around a fire, these people were the old Yellow Turbans, and later Lu Bu reorganized the troops and eliminated many of the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers.
Most of the people in this house now are the leaders of the nearby soldiers, and Zhang Yan is also among them.
"Brother Lou Wu, what are you doing summoning our brothers over?" A big man asked.
Lou Wu looked at everyone mysteriously, and found that everyone's attention was concentrated, so he slowly spoke.
"Brothers, you all respect me, call me big brother, and I Lou Wu has never treated my brothers badly, right?"
"That's nature."
"Brother Lou Wu didn't say anything to us."
The crowd responded with a mouthful of tongues.
The smile on Lou Wu's face deepened, and he continued: "Today, I summoned the big guys over to give everyone a great glory and wealth. β
When everyone heard this, a few people showed a confused look on their faces, and a few others showed an ambiguous smile.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but speak: "Big brother, are you ready to start?" β
Lou Wu turned his head, smiled at Zhang Yan, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "That's right, it's started." β
At this time, a man with a scar on his face scratched his head and asked suspiciously, "Brother Lou Wu, Brother Zhang Yan, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" β
This big man's name is Lu Ying, and he is quite brave, but he is brave and ruthless, and he gets along very badly with his colleagues, so he was dismissed.
For this reason, there are quite a few complaints about Lu Bujun.
Many of these people present were in much the same way as him.
Lou Wu turned his head to look at the others again, and said, "Brothers, let me ask you a word first. β
"Big brother, you say." Everyone looked at Lou Wu suspiciously.
After a pause, Lou Wu's face turned pale and he spoke again: "Can you all stay comfortably here?" β
Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you, but they dare not speak.
Zhang Yan took the lead in speaking at this time: "Shu Chang is a bird, Lao Tzu was also a big leader in Montenegro at the beginning, eating and drinking spicy food, originally thinking of taking refuge in Lu Bu for his brothers." For the sake of the saint's face, he could give a big errand for a good person, but he didn't expect to come here to farm. β
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone followed and opened the conversation.
You said it word by word, and among them, Lu Ying said the most powerful.
All of a sudden, the room became noisy.
Lou Wu secretly looked at Zhang Yan and Lu Ying, and the two nodded to him secretly, and the three of them passed a look.
Lou Wu cleared his throat and said, "Brothers, I can't hide it, and so do I...... Alas! β
After pretending to sigh, Lou Wu continued: "I met the Holy Maiden by chance before, and I wanted to help her, even to help Lu Bu. But who would have thought that after coming here, he would be monitored and excluded everywhere. Brothers, you should feel it too. β
Everyone nodded in unison.
"Don't hide it from you, don't look at the saint is now Lu Bu's wife, and she gave birth to a daughter, but the saint is also having a hard time. I think how the great sage and good teacher treated us at the beginning, and the brothers wanted to die for him, but now, alas, ......"
Many people who followed Zhang Jiao in the early days had their eyes a little moist.
Lou Wu then spoke: "Now that the Holy Maiden is suffering, it is time for us to do something for her. β
"That's right!" Zhang Yan immediately got up and responded.
Then Lu Ying also stood up in response, and then more people stood up.
Lou Wu grinned: "Okay, brothers, it is worthy of the loyalty of my Taiping Dao, I think the great sage and good teacher will be happy if he knows that I am so considerate of his descendants." β
Lu Ying opened his mouth and said, "Big brother, you should tell the brothers quickly, how we should do it." β
"Good!" Lou Wu motioned for everyone to sit down, then lowered his voice and spoke carefully to everyone.
Zhang Ning sat on a chair, his face was full of sadness, his teeth were biting his lower lip tightly, and there was deep pain in his eyes in addition to anger and unbearability.
Diao Chan sat next to her and gently held her little hands, feeling the cold temperature of those little hands, and feeling a burst of pity in her heart.
"The eldest lady, the second lady." Jia Xu pushed the door and walked in, and greeted softly.
The second daughter looked at Jia Xu, and hurriedly got up and said, "Military Division." β
Jia Xu seemed to know the reason why they came, and looked directly at Zhang Ning and said, "It's started." β
As if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, Zhang Ning's eyes lost focus, and he opened his mouth blankly and repeated: "Open, it's started, has it started?" β
Nodding, Jia Xu said softly: "It's started, it's already started." β
Hearing Jia Xu's confirmation again, Zhang Ning's eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of mist, and the crystal tears rolled down like short-term pearls, and she used the back of her hand to block her small mouth so that she would not cry.
Diao Chan thoughtfully hugged Zhang Ning into her arms and gently patted her back to ease her.
"Alasβ" Jia Xu sighed and sat down slowly, but he didn't speak anymore.
At this time, no matter what kind of words are spoken, they all look pale.
After a while, Zhang Ning gradually calmed down from the excitement, but a pair of beautiful apricot eyes lost their luster at this time, as if talking to himself and seemed to be asking the two people present: "Why, why is this......"
Jia Xu looked at Zhang Ning, his eyes were full of love and distress, and he slowly spoke: "Everyone has the right and reason to choose, and we have no way to intervene and stop it." The only thing you can do is to deal with the future as much as possible when it happens. β
Zhang Ning's tears that he could not hold back burst out of his eyes again, and his voice suddenly became hysterical when he looked at Jia Xu.
"Why is that? Why, exactly? The people around me left me one after another, my father was like this, so were my two uncles, and the brothers and sisters of the Yellow Turban Road were ...... Finally, he came back, but ...... Why the hell is that......"
Diao Chan hugged Zhang Ning's trembling body tightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Ning'er, stupid girl, don't be like this." Ning'er, you still have your husband, you still have me, you still have a well-behaved daughter, you still have us, Ning'er, ......"
The soft words seemed to have some kind of magic, which actually calmed down Zhang Ning's excited mood.
Jia Xu glanced at Diao Chan in surprise, Zhang Ning's mood fluctuations were so violent, he had seen it with his own eyes, under normal circumstances, if he couldn't completely vent, it would be impossible to calm down so quickly.
However, under Diao Chan's simple words of comfort, Zhang Ning slowly calmed down.
Diao Chan still comforted Zhang Ning softly, at this moment Zhang Ning was like a wounded kitten, curled up in Diao Chan's arms, although the crying stopped, but a pair of apricot eyes are now red and swollen like peaches, and there is still a thick sadness in the eyes.
She finally murmured softly, "Why, why...... Sister, Ning'er is so bitter in her heart, Ning'er is so bitter......"
"Don't be afraid, Ning'er, you still have us. Well, just take a good rest, obedient. β
With Diao Chan's soft tone, Zhang Ning slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Diao Chan looked at Jia Xu embarrassedly, and then he noticed the surprise in his eyes, and naturally understood why Jia Xu was surprised.
However, she didn't explain, gently stroked Zhang Ning's hair, and cleared her throat.
Jia Xu woke up at this time, quickly got up and went out, and soon called two women to help Diao Chan send Zhang Ning back.
