Chapter Ninety-Eight: Repentance
"Boom Boom ......" (Sound of Rain)
A person in the room sat cross-legged, his left hand pressed against the desk, his right hand holding the teacup, his eyes looked at a letter on the desk, he frowned from time to time, and suddenly sighed deeply.
He had read this letter no less than ten times, and his mind became more and more confused, and before he knew it, the boiling water in the teacup was already cold, and the candle on the desk was gradually about to go out.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk~" (knock on the door)
"Who is it?" He looked at the door vigilantly, and although the door was closed, he consciously put the letter away, and hid it in his sleeve
"It's me, sir!"
It turned out to be a domestic servant, and at this time he said, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Master, I'm here to pour you tea!" The servant stood outside without the Lord's permission, and did not push the door open.
"Come in!" He said.
"Yes!" After finishing the house, the servant pushed open the door, walked in, and said, "It's raining really hard outside, and it's thundering!" ”
The servant carried the kettle, took off his coat, put it outside the door, and then walked in heartily.
"I haven't finished drinking this water yet!" He picked up the teacup, drank the cool white water in the cup in one go, and then handed it to the servant, saying, "The rain outside is indeed quite heavy, but I like it to rain, quiet!" ”
"Master, it's raining and crackling, why are you quiet!" The servant poured boiling water into the teacup, which was then placed in its place.
"Be quiet in your heart!" He stood up and walked to the door.
The rain outside was indeed quite heavy, not only that, but the wind was also strong, and as soon as he walked to the door, he could feel the rain drifting in from outside, splashing on his face and on his restless heart, and at this time a peaceful tranquility arose, and he took a deep breath outside the door, and began to stretch his waist, and then said: "The candle is almost gone, you can change it for me!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The servant put down the kettle in his hand, walked to the cabinet in the house, opened the cabinet door, took out a candle from it, and changed it quickly, at this time he said: "Master, it's not too early, you should rest early, don't be tired!" ”
"Yes, I see!" When he was done, he went to the window, opened it, and he stood at the window, and said, "There's nothing to do here, you go first, and close the door!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The servant closed the door gently, and he was alone in the room again.
He looked out the window at the rushing rain, and he fell into deep thought again.
This letter was secretly sent by Lu Butuo, Lu Bu since he killed Dong Zhuo, he began to live in two places, first by Li Dao Guo Yan and other Liangzhou troops driven out of Chang'an, and then thrown into the accounts of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, but neither of them could tolerate Lu Bu, so he can now be said to have no fixed place to live and wander around.
But what puzzled him was how Lu Bu would have thought of helping him seize Yanzhou together? I can't imagine that this state idiot will have such a brain.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became complicated again, the year before, the Qingxu Yellow Turban thieves marched westward and invaded Yanzhou, and Liu Dai, the state assassin, did not listen to his own persuasion, and insisted on going out in person, but in the chaotic army, he was hacked to death by the thieves. In order to take care of the overall situation, he served Chen Liujun Taishou Zhang Miao, and together with Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei State, greeted Cao Cao, who was the Taishou of Dongjun at the time
"Cao Cao~Cao Cao~" He kept silently reciting this name in his heart, and then shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself: "I'm so stupid! ”
Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, the Han family was in decline, and the princes of the eastern part of the country formed an alliance to fight against Dong, but everyone had different ambitions, and they were all looking around in the same place, and no one dared to lead the army to the battle, and watched Dong Zhuo kidnap the emperor to the old capital Chang'an.
At this time, Cao Cao stood up, he led his troops and horses, westward pursuit of Dong Zhuo, but unfortunately was ambushed by Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was almost killed by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong in that battle, but his fate was big, and finally escaped.
But in the eyes of the next people, although Cao Cao lost this war, but he was defeated glorious, defeated glorious, when everyone only cared about their own interests, he Cao Cao dared to risk the disapproval, chasing Dong Zhuo alone, courage and feelings are no one can compare, therefore, he respected him, when the dragons of Yanzhou were leaderless, he did everything possible, tried his best, through diplomatic means, forcibly enshrined Cao Cao as the assassin of Yanzhou, he did this not only because he trusted Cao Cao, At the same time, I also want to be able to become Cao Cao's Zhang Liang in the future.
However, contrary to expectations, any beautiful fantasy will become eclipsed after being tempered by time. As soon as Cao Cao came to power, he killed the local celebrities in Yanzhou such as Bian Rang, because they said a few bad words about "Cao Cao is after the eunuch", Cao Cao was angry, and killed them all in one go, at that time his heart was broken, and the person he supported with all his heart turned out to be a bloodthirsty demon, in order to recommend talents to him, he personally went to visit these good friends of his own to help Cao Cao, just because of their few bad words, Cao Cao actually killed all his good friends, it was he who harmed them!
That time, to be honest, my heart was already cold, but it wasn't cold, because afterwards, I still tried my best to convince myself, what I did was right, and my choice would not be wrong, so I still had some illusions about Cao Cao.
Later, Cao Cao went east to Xuzhou because Tao Qian killed Cao Cao's father, so Cao Cao led the army to avenge his father.
At that time, I supported Cao Cao's expedition, but when I heard that Cao Cao was going to slaughter the people of Xuzhou to comfort my father's spirit, my feelings for Cao Cao were no longer neutral, but afraid, his face was hideous, as if he was the devil with blue faces and fangs, he led an army of 50,000 like a splitting bamboo, everywhere he went, it was all slaughter and looting, and after the army, he left an empty city full of undead.
Until this time, his heart was cold, why did he choose this demon as the lord in the first place, was it because he was blind?
What kind of heart, what kind of high wind and bright festival, it's all nonsense, the people in Yanzhou simply hate him, and the people under him simply hate him.
Why is he in charge of our Yanzhou now, does he have this qualification, he is now surrounded by Yuzhou people like Xun Yu, and most of the people he uses are also Yuzhou people recommended by Xun Yu, he originally wanted to recommend him, but unfortunately the first recommendation, he was all killed, where did he dare to recommend the second time, let the Yuzhou people be the masters of our Yanzhou Rao territory, why?
Recently, I just got the news that Cao Cao is going to move to the government after capturing Xuzhou, and he is really ruthless.
I don't want to be this Zhang Zifang now, fuck Cao Cao, there is only one person in his ovary, that is Xun Yu, and it can't be someone else.
Thinking of this, he said to himself: "Chen Gong, let it go!" ”
When he had finished closing the window, he went inside, took out the envelope from his sleeve, placed it on the flame of the candle, and burned it.
Seeing that the letter in his hand was gradually engulfed by the flames, gradually, the fire became bigger and bigger, Chen Gong let go of his hand, and the paper and the flame fell on Lin together, and finally, the flame swallowed the letter paper, and the flame itself disappeared.
He stared at the ashes on the ground and said, "The people of Yanzhou should let go as soon as possible, otherwise they will be swallowed up by this flame like this letterhead, and they will not be able to gain any benefits!" ”
He stomped the ashes and shouted out the door, "Someone! ”
After a while, the servant came, and he opened the door and said, "Master! ”
"Prepare a coat for me, I'm going to go out!"
"Ah, master, it's the third watch in the middle of the night, and it's still raining heavily, where are you going?" The servant asked in surprise.
"I'm going to go out, don't ask so much, prepare me a horse, some dry food, I'll go now!" Chen Gong picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then changed his clothes.
"Yes, sir, I'll go now!" The servant walked out the door.
Chen Gong changed his clothes, held the matching sword in his hand, hurriedly blew out the candle, and then walked out of the house, walked down the corridor, and walked until he reached the gate.
"Master, master, I've got you the clothes!" The servant ran over with a robe in his hand, and said, "Master, you put it on first, these stormy rains will get you wet!" ”
Chen Gong took the coat and put it on hastily, he said, "Are the horses ready?" ”
"I've already asked someone to lead it, and now it's estimated that it's at the gate!" The servant tidied up Chen Gong's clothes, and then handed the dry food to Chen Gong: "My lord, are you really going to leave now?" ”
"Well, yes, I'll leave it to you at home!" Chen Gong said so, but in fact, he didn't know in his heart that he had stepped on this threshold today, and whether he would be able to come back in the future.
"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely guard this place!" The servant opened the door for Chen Gong, and when he looked out, he saw that the horses had indeed been led to the door by a young man.
"I'm leaving!" Chen Gong walked quickly to the horse, took the reins from the young man's hand, mounted the horse, and with his sense of direction, he drank the horse and rushed to Chen Liujun.
"Phew!" Chen Gong spit out the rain that poured into his mouth, and said to himself: "This rain is really a bit heavy, so that I can't open my eyes!" ”
The muddy road was full of potholes, and the horses trampled on it, splashing more than a meter of water, and of course, the dirt also splashed with a piece.
Although the horse obviously felt powerless to run in such a breath, of course, so was Chen Gong himself, but in order to take care of the overall situation again, he couldn't help whipping the mount, hoping that it would be faster, and the time at this time was hope.
