Luoyang, the Xianyang Garden where Cao Pi lived.

As usual, Cao Pi wears a short coat with his sleeves and cuffs tightly tied, and holds a carving knife in his hand to carve a rough outline around a log.

In the past six months, he has given up military and government affairs and concentrated on carving, not only his inner peace and tranquility, but even his physical condition has gradually recovered.

I can't tell if it's the reason for swallowing immortal qi or the reason for self-recuperation.

In the last two months, he has also felt that his body is gradually recovering, and he has the momentum to do so.

The so-called Jiangshan Sheji has become a joke, and he walked around the ghost gate again, which made him cherish his current health.

Reading, painting, collecting firewood, feeding horses, tending to the vegetable garden, carving, sleeping with a wife, every day...... This simple and repetitive life made him feel extremely peaceful and comfortable. So that time passed a little faster, which made Cao Pi a little uncomfortable.

Thinking about the past, it's like yesterday...... The day and night were so long, and now that I think about it, I just feel meaningless.

There is a kind of pure heart and few desires, which permeates Cao Pi's heart.

His quiet, focused state of carving was interrupted by Xu Chu's characteristic heavy footsteps, and even though the fifty-six-year-old Xu Chu tried to maintain his figure, he was still visibly old, and the skin on his face appeared to be saggy, but his body was still much wider than Cao Pi's.

He was holding a sealed picture box in his hand: "Your Majesty, King Xia ordered Jiang Weijin, the commander of the horses, to present a picture scroll." ”

In the territory of Cao Wei, if it is still three points today, there is no Chen State, only Xia State, Wei State, and Han State. Therefore, the situation is not very bad, and there is still a chance for your side to survive.

There are many ways and forms of existence and continuation, whether they are merged into the Han or Xia...... It is a matter that needs to be studied and discussed repeatedly.

If there is a high-intensity civil war between the Han and Xia during the period, the elite and backbone of the two sides will be wiped out...... Well, that's a possibility. How to increase the probability of this possibility is the common aspiration of all parties in the Wei State.

Xu Chu held the narrow painting box with both hands, Cao Pi took it, used a carving knife to break the lacquer seal, took out the picture scroll and spread it out.

This picture scroll is two feet high and about eight feet long, and in the picture is Xiahou Aya wearing a crimson purple wide-sleeved flowing cloud skirt, she is wearing a pair of ringed temples, with a pinch of red in the center of her eyebrows, and she looks at the outside of the scroll with a smile.

Cao Pi lowered his eyes and looked at his daughter in the painting, but he didn't feel very comfortable in his heart.

It seems that she can feel the voice of her daughter when she was painting, and she is still complaining, angry, and hating that she gave Zhen to death.

With a knot in his heart, Cao Pi slowly put the scroll into the box with a calm face, and asked, "What else is going on?" ”

"The king of Xia respects the king as a person, and he is afraid that the king will be harmed by the Han court. wanted to make someone escort the princess into the Jiangdu and plead with the Duke of Song. ”

Xu Chu lowered his head when he replied: "Your Majesty? ”

Cao Pi also lowered his eyebrows and looked at Xu Chu's wrinkled forehead, maybe in a few years, the muscles around Xu Chu's body faded, and the fierce general in front of him, who was a hundred people, was reduced to a thin old man.

Unlike now, although he is old, he still has the strength to kill himself with a punch.

As if he could see through Xu Chu's thoughts, Cao Pi raised his head again and blinked his dry eyes and said, "Zhongkang, is this an opportunity?" ”

"Yes, I think it's possible."

Xu Chu lowered his head and reiterated a key point: "The Han and Xia handover of Nanyang is imminent, and the ministers think that the people of Nanyang must be dissatisfied and fearful." ”

Nanyang is a fertile land for thousands of miles after all, and now there are at least 200,000 households, and a little mobilization can pull out an army of 50,000.

Such an important section and hub, Tian Xin and Beifu are willing to peacefully hand over and cede to the Han court, and they should also ask the locals of Nanyang if they agree.

Seeing that Xu Chu's attitude was clear, Cao Pi thought about it for a while and laughed: "I am a person who is struggling to survive, Zhongkang wants to do his best, so let it go, disrupt Jiangdu, and fight for a chance for Aya." ”

"Yui."

Xu Chu arched his hand, took six steps back before raising his head, turned around, and left.

As Emperor Wu of Wei's personal general of the Su Guard, Xu Chu's power was not limited to the three armies of the Su Guard, but also some others.

On the other side, Wei Xing went to meet Du Shi.

When he came, Du was embroidering a collared robe with his daughter under the pavilion of the house, which was a bright green Shu brocade, and embroidered the four spirit rui beasts with gold threads.

Du Shi looked at Wei Xing, who was in the dust, and said with a smile: "Ah Xing is so bold, isn't he afraid of the country asking for guilt?" ”

"Madame said with a smile, who in the four prefectures of Guanlong today doesn't know that the armies of this Luoyang have obeyed my father-in-law's orders?"

Wei Xing took the tea bowl handed by Princess Jinxiang, returned a smile to Jinxiang, and then smiled solemnly: "Madam, the princess intends to invite Madame to Jiangdu and plead with the general to forgive His Royal Highness the King." ”

"Yun Changgong is not a person who kills indiscriminately, what is the difference between going and not going?"

Du Shi said as she picked up the polished bronze mirror from the table, in the mirror she still had a full face, a well-proportioned face like a girl, and there was no fat or obvious wrinkles. The neck inside the chin is still delicate skin, although it is not as fair as her daughter, but it also looks like a woman in her early thirties.

"King Xia has mercy on the world, Yun Changgong does not kill the weak, and my son Ji Leopard is worry-free."

Du Shi reiterated his opinion, reluctantly put down the bronze mirror gently, lowered his eyebrows and spread his hands to get the silver needle, and Princess Jinxiang wanted to drive Wei Xing away.

Wei Xing sat there still, drinking the tea slowly, thinking about the wording of the persuasion: "Madame doesn't want to see the general, if the general wants to see Madame...... So what? ”

"Madam, as far as I know, the general is already very old, and he has every opportunity to govern the Han Dynasty, and it can be said that maintaining the harmony between Han and Xia can be described as tiring. In the early years of the general's battle, the assassination wounds were accumulated...... Mrs. today refuses, if she is willing tomorrow, it will be too late to regret it. ”

Wei Xing said with a long sigh: "Madame doesn't think about herself, she should also think about His Royal Highness King Chen, His Royal Highness the Princess, and His Royal Highness the King of Puyang." Brother Yuan Ming supervised the army outside, and all parties were jealous. If he can be taken in by the general, his brother can be ranked as a minister in the future. ”

Whose son Qin Lang is, only Mrs. Du can say clearly.

In short, the only relationship with Qin Yilu is to follow the surname Qin.

Wei Ping and Wei Xing concluded that Qin Lang was their own cousin through physical characteristics...... But what if?

Hearing this, Mrs. Du sighed, and she didn't feel anything to be embarrassed about.

There have been so many ethical and moral tragedies of cannibalism and murder in recent years, and this story about myself is just a small scene. Only the affectionate Emperor Wu and Yun Changgong are willing to appreciate and care about these stories.

But what face to see?

Just like Wei Xing said, if you don't see it, I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life; I can't help but drift all my life, I am a person like a fallen leaf, there are too many things to regret and distress, and I don't care about this more.

But Yun Changgong is such a hero, how can he be calm?

With Yun Changgong's considerate heart, I am afraid that he just wants to see himself, and he is not willing to take the initiative to ask, he may be afraid that he will be embarrassed.

That's why Yun Changgong is willing to care about his face like this......

With King Xia's intelligence, he may have guessed Yun Changgong's intentions, so he arranged for himself to meet Yun Changgong.

The corners of her eyes were moist, Mrs. Du picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it again, raised her hand to gently brush the strands of oily black hair hanging from her ears, and sighed: "Alas...... That's right, I should go to see Yun Changgong and explain the misunderstanding between the first emperor and Yun Changgong. ”
