Volume 4 Enthronement Chapter 30 The Soul Returns!
When Cao Cao was about to open his skull, Cao's first reaction was not to worry about Cao Cao's anjue, and there was a trace of panic.
Although a craniotomy is a very uninteresting thing, Cao can feel that Hua Tuo really has the ability to cure Cao Cao. If Hua Tuo really cured Cao Cao, then it is estimated that Cao Cao will live for a few years.
It's not that Cao Cao doesn't want Cao Cao to live for a few more years, but after Wang Xiaohu said that during the day, Cao Cao decided to open his cranial to treat the disease at night, which is too much of a coincidence. At this point in time, even if Cao doesn't want to be careful, it's impossible.
If Cao Cao really believed that Wang Xiaohu's words and decided to abolish his words...... Thinking of this, a few drops of cold sweat dripped from his head, even though it was still winter, Cao still couldn't hold back the sweat oozing out of his head.
Suddenly, Cao Meng stopped his horse. If Cao Cao really wanted to abolish himself, then it would be useless to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, so Cao turned his horse's head and galloped towards Sima Yi's home.
When Cao came out of Sima's house, he could already see the slightest anxiousness, but on the contrary, Cao at this time seemed calm and relaxed, looking leisurely.
Cao lightly stepped on the horse, looked in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the distance, and sighed softly: "Father, no poison, no husband, you forced me, the child can't stand you......"
……
The news that Cao Cao wanted to open his craniotomy did not come out, after all, such a thing as craniotomy seemed too unbelievable to ordinary people, and if Liu Bei and Sun Quan knew that Cao Cao was going to open his craniotomy, they might take this opportunity to attack Cao Cao. Besides, Xu Du is not so peaceful, and many young people are still lurking in the shadows, so Cao Cao's craniotomy naturally has to be kept secret. Except for Cao Cao's sons and confidant officials like Jia Xu and Chen Qun, no one else knew that Cao Cao was going to open his skull.
In the room, Hua Tuo was ready to open his head, so Cao Cao's hair had been shaved.
"Prime Minister. The craniotomy was dangerous and unusual. If you are not careful, the prime minister will have to worry about his life. So at the time of craniotomy. There must be no one to disturb. Hua Tuo said.
Cao Cao nodded. Turning his head to Xu Chu next to him, he said, "Zhongkang." You have men guarding all around. No one is allowed to approach it. Violators will be killed! ”
"The last general commands!" Xu Chu had already come with a thousand of the most elite and loyal Tiger Guards. Xu Chu is confident. Even in the face of an army of 100,000. This Thousand Tiger Guards can also stick to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this time. Hua Tuo brought a silver bowl. came to Cao Cao. He said, "Prime Minister." This is the old decay of the configuration of 'hemp boiling'. After the prime minister drank it. You will lose consciousness. Drowsy. I don't feel any pain anymore. ”
Cao Cao took the silver bowl. I looked at the bowl, the silver was not black. I know that this hemp boiling is not poisonous.
"Doctor Huashen. I heard that you scraped Yun Chang's bones and healed his wounds that day. Why didn't Yun Chang use this medicine that day? Cao Cao asked.
"Back to the prime minister, after drinking this hemp, he will be in a coma for a period of time, at least five or six days, and at most ten days. Imagine that if ordinary people fall into a coma for five or six or even ten days, without eating or drinking, their bodies will definitely be very weak after waking up. On that day, General Guan led the troops to fight, and as the commander-in-chief, how could he be in a coma for more than ten days, so although the old man took out this 'hemp boiling powder' at that time, General Guan refused to take it. Hua Tuo opened his mouth to explain.
Cao Cao nodded and sighed softly, "Yun Chang is really a god!" Then he drank all the hemp in the bowl.
Hua Tuo took out another cloth bag, opened it and saw that it was full of silver needles of different sizes, Hua Tuo took out one of the silver needles and said: "Prime Minister, I will use these silver needles to seal several big holes on the Prime Minister's body later." This acupuncture is also dangerous and abnormal, so I have to wait until the prime minister falls asleep before giving the prime minister a needle. ”
At this time, Cao Cao's family members were anxiously waiting outside, but Xu Chu led the Tiger Guards to guard the surroundings, even if it was Mrs. and Cao, they were not allowed to approach.
Seeing Xu Chu blocking the door, Cao frowned slightly, in this way, it would greatly affect Cao's plan. At this time, Cao suddenly had a plan to give up, but think about it again, everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and in order to arrange this bureau, many subordinates have already known Cao's plan, if the plan suddenly stops, if someone will leak out today's layout in the future, Cao Cao will investigate it, and Cao himself will be finished. At the same time, because Cao has mobilized a lot in order to arrange this game, it has become unrealistic to kill people and kill people, and now Cao himself is already difficult to ride a tiger.
Now Cao began to pray silently in his heart, hoping that Hua Tuo would never succeed, as long as Hua Tuo's craniotomy failed, then Cao could naturally become the king of Wei. But if Hua Tuo succeeds, then Cao will try to take a risk.
Time passed minute by minute, and the sun gradually turned west, but Hua Tuo still did not come out. Cao Zhang wanted to go in several times to investigate the situation, but was always blocked by Xu Chudi. This Xu Chu is like an iron tower, blocking the entrance of the house, allowing Cao Zhang's good words to be exhausted, and the friendship is rotten, Xu Chu just doesn't let Cao Zhang enter the house.
The sky gradually darkened, and everyone was still waiting outside, and when the sunset shone on the corner of the wall, Hua Tuo finally walked out.
I saw Hua Tuo's face pale, his mouth panting slightly, and he looked very tired. When everyone saw Hua Tuo come out, they immediately surrounded him.
"Doctor Hua, how is my father?" Cao asked first.
Hua Tuo sighed softly and said: "I have taken out the saliva in the prime minister's head, but the prime minister has not woken up yet, the next twelve hours are the most important, if the prime minister can survive the next twelve hours, then the prime minister should be fine." ”
"Let me go in and see my father!" Next to him, Cao Zhang said that he was about to break inside. And Hua Tuo hurriedly grabbed Cao Zhang.
"The third prince is slow, now the prime minister is still not breathable, if the third prince wants to visit the prime minister, he must be far away, and he can't walk in front of the prime minister. If the evil wind enters the body, even if it is a god, it will be difficult to save the prime minister's life! ”
"Okay, I'll listen to Doctor Hua." Cao Zhang is not a reckless person, listening to Hua Tuo say this, he also understands the key points, so he honestly follows Hua Tuo.
Seeing Cao Zhang enter, Cao followed closely behind, compared to Cao Zhang's joyful mood, Cao Zhang's heart was not so comfortable. At this time, the main purpose of Cao Cao's follow-up was to determine whether it was really like Hua Tuo said, Cao Cao had not died after the craniotomy.
Cao Cao lay on the couch, sleeping very deadly, now Cao Cao's head has been covered with bandages, his chest is slightly undulating, although Cao Cao's breath is very weak, his face is also very pale, but it can be seen that Cao Cao slept peacefully, without the slightest pain.
When it came to Cao Cao's appearance, Cao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. And Cao shook his teeth next to him, but he didn't expect that this Hua Tuo really had the ability, and this craniotomy was really done by Hua Tuo, and it seemed that he was really going to implement his plan.
Thinking of this, Cao Da glanced at Cao Zhang meaningfully, and then said: "Third brother, let my father rest well, let's go out first!" ”
Cao Zhang nodded, and reluctantly followed Cao out. And Hua Tuo also walked out behind the two.
At this time, Cao looked back at Hua Tuo and said, "Doctor Hua, it's really hard for you, please accept Cao's worship!" ”
Cao said, he was about to bow to Hua Tuo, where did Hua Tuo dare to let Cao worship himself, hurriedly stepped forward to support Cao, and said at the same time: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" It's really a torture for the little old man! ”
"Doctor Hua is also tired, and my father is fine, I think Doctor Hua might as well go back and rest first." Cao said.
After a day of surgery, it was a brain surgery, Hua Tuo did feel a little tired, and Hua Tuo really needed to rest at this time. So Hua Tuo nodded and said goodbye to everyone.
After Hua Tuo left, Cao looked at the sky and said, "Third brother, it's not too early, I don't think you should go back to the house, it's better to live here, my mother hasn't seen you for a long time, and our brothers are just catching up." ”
Cao Cao's son will be in his mansion when he becomes an adult, and will no longer live in the prime minister's mansion. Although Cao Zhang is not in Xudu all the year round, Cao Zhang still has a big mansion in Xudu. Under normal circumstances, Cao and a few other adult brothers would not return to the residence of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cao Zhang looked at the slightly haggard lady, and thought that now Cao Du had spoken, so he nodded: "Okay, it's up to my brother." ”
……
That evening, the man seemed happy. First, Cao Cao's craniotomy was successful, and secondly, Cao and Cao Zhang both came back rarely.
Looking at his two sons, Mrs. smiled slightly, now it seems that Cao is not like what Wang Xiaohu said yesterday, at least from the performance of Cao and Cao Zhang, the brothers are still very harmonious. It seems that Wang Xiaohu was just alarmist before, thinking of this, Mrs. couldn't help but feel a lot more steady.
After the meal, Cao Zhang was in the house with his wife, and Cao confessed that he was going to relieve himself.
People looked at Cao Zhang, the naughty boy with a tiger head and a little yellow hair back then, now he has already entered the age of standing, Mrs. gently touched Cao Zhang's shoulder, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.
Over the years, Cao Zhang has fought everywhere and suffered a lot, so Cao Xian has been very vicissitudes, and he looks completely different from Cao Cao Zhi. As a mother, she naturally does not want to see her son suffer.
"Little San, I think you should go back to Xudu! Always outside, it will take a long time for my mother to see you. Madame spoke.
"Hehe, mother, wait a few years. Recently, Karasuma in the north is about to move, Youzhou is really inseparable from me, and the Liaodong Gongsun family is not peaceful. After a few years, Youzhou is too peaceful, and I'm coming back. Cao Zhang smiled innocently.
Madam sighed slightly: "Little San, I understand, I know that you deliberately don't want to come back." You're afraid that your second brother thinks you're going to fight with him! I've heard about yesterday as well. But you and I don't think Zihuan is such a person......"
"It's on fire!"
"It's on fire, come and put out the fire!"
Hurried shouts outside interrupted the conversation between Cao Zhang's mother and son.
"Mother, I'll go out and have a look!" Cao Zhangmeng stood up and walked outside.
Cao Zhang came to the door, a red light could be seen in the distance, a gust of wind blew, the smell of burnt paste rushed into Cao Zhang's nostrils, Cao Zhang jumped up the wall, only to see that the fire had spread throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion, reflecting the Prime Minister's Mansion into a fiery red. The smoke gradually spread, and many houses had been swallowed by the billowing smoke, and at this time the Prime Minister's Mansion had been in chaos for a day, and the maids and guards were scurrying around like headless flies.
In ancient times, the houses were made of wood, so they were easy to burn, and in winter, the weather was dry and dry, so the fire spread very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the Half Phase Mansion was engulfed in flames.
Cao Zhang stared at all this blankly, he couldn't understand why the fire would be so big. These fires seemed to appear suddenly, and in an instant, they filled the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Third brother, mother!" Cao's shouts came from behind, and Cao Chang looked back and found that Cao was shouting to himself.
"Brother, my mother is still in the room!"
"Don't look at it, come down with me, and get my mother out first!" Cao yelled, Cao Zhang immediately jumped off the wall, and the two brothers walked towards the house.
At this time, a trace of smoke had already filled the small courtyard of the lady, and the maids and maids in the courtyard began to panic when they saw this situation.
"Mother, it's on fire, let's go!" The two brothers could not say anything, and walked outside with their wife in their arms.
The place where people live was originally the inner house of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the deepest part of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it can be said that there are nine bends and eighteen bends from the gate, and now the Prime Minister's Mansion is in chaos, and the two brothers walked for half a day, and they walked less than half the distance.
"Oops! Your father, he's still in it! Madame said suddenly.
"Yes, my father is still inside." Cao Zhangmeng exclaimed.
"Third child, you go out with your mother on your back first, and I'll go in to save my father!" Cao said, about to go inside.
Cao Zhang grabbed Cao and said hurriedly: "Brother, let's go, the fire inside is so big, it's too dangerous!" ”
"I'm my brother, you have to listen to me, go out with your mother on your back first!" Cao sounded.
"But my brother ......"
"There's nothing to do, I'll let you go first, and you'll go! Hurry up! Cao roared a little angrily, so frightened that Cao Zhang quickly let go of his hand. And Cao trotted all the way and disappeared.
Cao trotted all the way to Cao Cao's residence first, because this place was relatively quiet, and the fire had not yet spread here.
"Xu Chu!" Cao shouted, and then saw a black shadow flash in front of Cao, it was Xu Chu.
"It's on fire here, come with me to save my father!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Hua Tuo has instructed that the prime minister must not be moved now, if the prime minister's wound is invaded by evil qi, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Xu Chu said.
"Xu Chu, the fire is almost here! If you don't take your father away, I'm afraid the fire will really burn here! If you don't leave, it's too late! ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it is a matter of the Prime Minister's comfort, Xu Chu forgives his fate!"
"You ......" Cao pointed to Xu Chudi's nose, unable to speak for a long time. But Cao is only
angry, he can't beat Xu Chu by himself, and Xu Chu doesn't listen to what he says, Cao Zhen has a way.
After about a while, the fire got bigger and bigger, and it was getting closer and closer to Cao Cao's residence, and Xu Chu himself was sweating a little at this time, according to the current development, it wouldn't be long before the fire would really burn here.
"Xu Chu, the fire is burning, don't you get out of the way! Let me save my father! ”
"This ......" Xu Chu also hesitated at this time. Hua Tuo once instructed not to disturb Cao Cao's body, let alone let Cao Cao suffer from the cold, otherwise Cao Cao would be worried about his life. But now that the fire is about to be extinguished, if Cao Cao is not rescued, maybe Cao Cao will be burned to death now!
"Poof!" Just when Xu Chu was still hesitating, Cao Yi drew his sword and yelled at Xu Chu: "Xu Chu, if you don't get out of the way, Hugh will be ruthless!" ”
When Xu Chu looked at this, Cao was really going to turn his face, and then looked at the fire outside, Xu Chu gritted his teeth and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, let me go and carry the lord out!" ”
Xu Chu and Cao walked to Cao Cao's room, and Cao Cao was still lying peacefully on the bed at this time, not knowing what was happening outside.
Xu Chu walked up to Cao Cao and looked at Cao Cao, who was tightened by the wound on Cao Cao's head, and the wound would collapse if he was not careful, and he couldn't withstand too much movement at all. Faced with such a situation, Xu Chu was stunned and didn't know what to do.
"Xu Chu, move the whole bed!" In a hurry, he said from the side. Xu Chu suddenly realized. grabbed Cao Cao's bed, and then with a force, he moved the whole bed together with Cao Cao.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, let's go...... Yes! Before Xu Chu could finish speaking, he saw a sword piercing out of his chest.
Xu Chu looked down, this sword was the Heavenly Sword that he was very familiar with!
Behind Xu Chu, Cao looked at Xu Chu with a grim face, and in Cao's hand, it was Cao Cao's Heavenly Sword.
If it was in normal times, Cao would not be able to hurt Xu Chu at all, but now that he was in a panic, Xu Chu would not be defensive against Cao at all, and Cao was deliberately sneak attacking, so he succeeded in one blow.
Cao fiercely pulled out the Heavenly Sword, and blood suddenly gushed out from Xu Chu's wound and splashed onto the ground around him.
Xu Chu turned his head and looked at Cao behind him in surprise, his eyes were full of confusion and unwillingness, Xu Chu couldn't understand why Cao would kill himself!
"Give me death!" Cao yelled, and stabbed Xu Chu with his sword again, Xu Chu wanted to dodge, but at this time, Xu Chu was carrying the bed in his hand, and it was Cao Cao lying on the bed. Xu Chu knew that if he dodged, the bed in his hand would not be stable. If Cao Cao was thrown to the ground, Cao Cao would definitely die.
"Flutter!" The Yitian Sword stabbed Xu Chu's body again to block it, Xu Chu gritted his teeth and used his body to take the sword. At the same time, as soon as Xu Chu exerted his strength, the muscles on his body tensed violently, and he clamped the Heavenly Sword that pierced into his body.
Cao Meng jerked the Yitian Sword, but it didn't twitch, and at this time Cao realized that Xu Chu actually used the muscles on his body to clamp the Yitian Sword, so that he couldn't pull out the Yitian Sword. Cao jerked back, trying to pull out the Heavenly Sword with all his might, but it still didn't work.
Xu Chu clenched his teeth in front, and every time Cao drew his sword, it would cause great pain to Xu Chu, but for the sake of lying on the bed with his hands, Xu Chu still held back.
At this time, the blood had flowed out of Xu Chu's seven orifices, but Xu Chu still endured it and refused to let go of the bed in his hand, and then saw Xu Chu's hands force, and the bed in his hand was slowly placed on the ground, without letting Cao Cao be shaken at all. At the moment when the bed touched the ground, Xu Chu breathed a sigh of relief, at this time Xu Chu was already at the end of the crossbow, with the last vitality to clamp the Heavenly Sword, and now seeing that Cao Cao was safe, Xu Chu's originally tense muscles were also loosened at this moment.
At this time, Cao was pulling out the sword vigorously, Xu Chu's muscles relaxed, and he couldn't clamp the Yitian Sword anymore, and the Yitian Sword was immediately pulled out by Cao, but because of the excessive force, Cao stumbled and sat on the ground.
But Cao's reaction was very fast, only to see Cao jump slightly, stand up again, and stab at Xu Chu three times with the Yitian Sword.
"Lord, Xu Chu can't follow you anymore......"
At the same time as Xu Chu finished saying these words, Yitian Sword rushed out from Xu Chu's exit.
Seeing Xu Chu's huge body fall, Cao finally breathed, Cao looked at Cao Cao who was lying on the bed, and then knelt down violently, kowtowing at Cao Cao three times, so Cao Cao picked up the lamp from the side and threw it directly on Cao Cao's bed.
Cao Cao's bed was covered with soft brocade, which was easy to burn, and the lamp oil was scattered, which made the whole bed burn quickly.
Watching the raging fire gradually submerge Cao Cao's body, a teardrop slipped from Cao's eyes......
Sima Yi looked up at the bursts of red light in the distance, sweat kept coming out of his head, success or failure in this move, after tonight, if Cao can't succeed, then he will die, but if Cao succeeds, then the day when he will be crowned marquis and pay homage to the prime minister will be just around the corner.
Sima Yi gently touched the burden on his back, in fact, Sima Yi was ready to run away, if Cao failed, Sima Yi would escape from Xu Capital as soon as possible. Now Sima Yi, the burden and horses have already been prepared.
……
At the city gates. Jia Xu trembled and climbed the city tower, and then raised his eyes to look in the direction of the fire, and found that the place where the fire caught fire was the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this moment, Jia Xu seemed to understand something. Jia Xu closed his eyes gently, but he still couldn't hold back the tears pouring out of his eyes.
Jia Xu took off the robe on his body, and then threw it down the city wall, watching the robe flutter in the wind and gradually fall to the ground, but Jia Xu laughed. Suddenly, Jia Xu stopped laughing, and then shouted in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion like a madman.
"My lord, the soul is back! Lord, the soul has returned......"
The text is 6148 words.
I always wanted to give Cao Cao a tragic ending, but after writing it, I found out that Cao Cao didn't even know how he died in the end. However, Gluttony is still satisfied with this chapter. When writing Xu Chu, Gluttony couldn't help but bring himself into the role of Xu Chu, but accidentally wrote Gluttony himself and cried. Instead of letting Cao Cao die heroically, it is better to let the sacrifices of others bring out Cao Cao's tragedy. Although Xu Chu's death failed to save Cao Cao in the end, Gluttony felt that letting Cao Cao die unconsciously like this might be a good ending. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, there are more chapters, support the author, support UC e-book!) )
