"When I said this sentence in front of people, how many people could understand the guilt in my heart for Ang'er!?"

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Lu Ren was stunned at that time, and he couldn't figure out why Cao Cao said these words in front of him. In fact, don't look at Lu Ren has been under Cao Cao for three years, but it is the first time that he has a face-to-face drinking conversation with Cao Cao like this.

In Lu Ren's reflection, Cao Cao is a very utilitarian character whenever and wherever he is, but at this moment, seeing Cao Cao's sad face full of tears, Lu Ren suddenly felt that he was actually very wrong. Just like Cao Cao himself said, Cao Cao at this moment is just a father who has lost his beloved son, a person who needs to drink to drown his sorrows and pour out the pain in his chest to others as a vent.

"Heroes are also mortals, do they have their own seven emotions and six desires, joys, sorrows, and sorrows?" That's what Lu Ren thinks now. It's just that Lu Ren still can't figure it out, Cao Cao's words are impossible to say to anyone, but why would he say them to him?

Cao Cao saw the confusion and incomprehension in Lu Ren's expression, sighed lightly, and then helped Lu Ren fill a glass of wine and said, "Yihao don't be suspicious, I said this to you because you are Ang'er's close friend." And you are different from other staff, other staff, including Fengxiao, although they voted for me, they all have the heart of meritorious service, I can't be loyal to the public, but you are a person who has no utilitarian heart at all, I don't have to worry too much, so I can only tell you these words in my heart. ”

"Cao Gong ......" Faced with Cao Cao's specious explanation, Lu Ren was a little embarrassed. You must know that Lu Ren is basically "spying" on Cao Cao's taboo and privacy now, so if he is not careful in his words and deeds in the future, I am afraid that it will lead to death. But in the current situation, it is obvious that Cao Cao regards Lu Ren as a person who can talk about his heart, but because of this, Lu Ren's personal safety is only a little more dangerous.

Lu Ren was speechless here, but Cao Cao raised his head to the sky again, holding a wine glass and muttering: "Yihao, what kind of person do you think I am?" ”

Lu Ren was silent for a long time before responding in a low voice: "Gong Cao...... He is a hero of the day. ”

Cao Cao smiled sadly: "Hero...... I also consider myself a hero of the day. I think I have been in the army since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, only more than ten years before and after, and now I have become a general under one person and above ten thousand people. But behind the majesty in front of people, how many people know the sadness, pain and loneliness in my heart? ”

"......" Lu Renxin said, Lao Cao, are you making a "heroic sigh" at me, or are you treating me as a psychiatrist? But now I can't help but say something, it's not like just drinking with my head down! After thinking for a while, Lu Ren had no choice but to say something ambiguous: "Maybe heroes will always be lonely, right?" And since Cao Gong has chosen this path, you have to go on wholeheartedly, because the road of heroes is a road that cannot be turned back, and if you want to turn back, I don't know how many people will want to kill you. ”

A light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and Lu Ren, who was staring closely, said in a deep voice: "The road of heroes is a road that cannot be turned back? If you want to turn back, it can only be a dead end? Yihao, what you said these two sentences are really appropriate. Yes, today I am a very popular minister, and all the people of all walks of life are jealous of me, and there are many who want to replace me, and if I do not want to forge ahead, I will take advantage of it. ”

Suddenly, Cao Cao's expression darkened again: "Because of this, I feel very tired...... And I'm scared in my heart. This time I lost Ang'er and Dian Wei, so who will it be next time? Whenever I think of who I might lose on this heroic road, who I would never be separated from, and even if I myself would die on this road, I always feel a chill and fear in my heart...... Can you tell me whether it is right or wrong for me to go down this path? ”

Lu Renxin said, Lao Cao, why did you turn the topic back again? I felt that I couldn't directly say what was right or wrong, so I frowned and thought hard for a while before hesitating: "I can't tell if it's right or wrong." However, as the so-called success and defeat of the king, although the words are ugly, it is an indisputable fact.

"For me, what I pursue is 'life is happy, death without regrets', this is actually the same when it comes to Cao Gong's body, but the meaning of the word 'huan' is not the same. What I want is to have a beautiful woman around me to enjoy the world, and what Ming Gong wants is for the whole country to bow down and obey orders.

"In fact, it doesn't matter if you become a king or lose, whoever is right or who is wrong, how can people compete with heaven? As long as people do their best on the path they have chosen, whether it is successful or not, it is 'life full of joy', and the sky is not with success and laughter, because at least we have done our best......" Speaking of this, Lu Ren stopped, because Lu Ren was asking himself, did he really do his best what he did before?

"Alas, it's easy to move your mouth, but it's hard to do real kung fu......"

Cao Cao looked at Lu Ren carefully for a while, suddenly raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a sad smile: "Well said, well said!" As long as people can live happily and die without regrets, it is enough! Even if there are obstacles and distractions, you should laugh it off...... Ang'er didn't choose the wrong friend of yours, but it's a pity ......"

Lu Ren also picked up the words with feelings for a while: "Gong Cao, on this road, you have to be willing to endure many things. ”

"Don't I know?" Cao Cao shook his head lightly: "But I am also a person with seven emotions and six desires!" You can't choose a path of no turning back for me, and you won't even allow me to do it with a little sigh, right? After talking to you, I suddenly realized that Yihao is my good confidant like Bonghyo, because there are some things you dare to say to me and can say to me...... Come, drink! Not only to relieve worries, but not to get drunk and not to return! ”

What else can Lu Ren say at this time? He really couldn't think of anything he said that would make Cao Cao feel comforted, and if he wanted to say it again, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to say anything, so it was really better to drink more and talk less.

After several rounds of drinking, when Lu Ren felt that he was still a little sober, Cao Cao, who had already drunk a lot of wine before Lu Ren came, was almost drunk. Suddenly, Cao Cao grabbed Lu Ren's wrist, and said with a knot in his tongue: "Yi, Yihao, Ang, Ang'er, Ding, Mrs. Ding...... She, she quarreled with me in front of people for so long, I, I couldn't hold it on my face, scolded her a few words, and she fell out with me, and now, she is packing up and going back to her house......

"You, you are different from Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao, they are all talents in governing the world but it is difficult to take care of family affairs, but you are a character with a lot of ghost ideas, and you and Wan'er are probably the only people who will get close to Mrs. Ding now...... You—Is there any way you can help me keep Mrs. Ding?" If it can be done, I, I will have a great gift to thank you......"

Bang body, but Cao Cao was completely drunk and fell to the ground. Lu Ren's mind was still a little clear, and he hurriedly called the attendants to help Cao Cao back to the room, and he returned home with the support of several other attendants.

Before dawn the next day, Lu Ren woke up and sat alone in the courtyard to blow the wind and meditate. When recalling Cao Cao's last entrustment, Lu Ren shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What the is this?" Why do you always feel that I am inexplicably involved in Cao Cao's family disputes? It's hard for a clean official to cut off family affairs, not to mention that I'm not a clean official? Forget it, that's nonsense that Cao Cao said after drinking too much, just ignore it......"

I thought so, but when I remembered the situation when I went to pay tribute to Cao Ang yesterday, Lu Ren couldn't help but stretch out his hand and scratch the back of his head: "No matter how Cao Ang has always been very good to me, I haven't been able to really do anything for Cao Ang...... Now that Mrs. Ding and Lao Cao have fallen out, this shouldn't be what Cao Ang wants to see, right? Then it's time for me to do something about it...... But the problem is that according to Mrs. Ding's stinky and hard temper, what can I do!? ”

In distress, people turned around in the courtyard of the Lu Mansion, and when it was almost dawn, Lu Ren suddenly found Lu Cheng and Lu Xin who were practicing in the backyard, and Xiao Lu Lan, who was holding rattan and guarding the incense on the side. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Lu Ren's mind......

――――――――――――――――――――

In the city of Xuchang in normal times, a car drove slowly on the official road to the city gate, and Mrs. Ding stared at the jade ring in her hand in this car. Suddenly, with the shouting of the driver, the car came suddenly. Mrs. Ding raised her head slightly, and asked the driver with a little sadness, "Why did you stop?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, someone stopped the driver......

Mrs. Ding's mood was not very good, but now when she heard that someone had stopped her car, she was furious on the spot, and scolded: "No matter who stops the car, just ride the horse over!" ”

"But, but ......"

"What if the general comes in person? At most, I disobeyed my dignity and died here! Needless to say, whip up and go! ”

These few words of scolding really made a car driver feel numb, but looking at the person blocking the car on the other side, how dare the car driver really go over like this? Mrs. Ding, you are angry and have the intention of begging for death, but the people who drive the car still want to mix well.

The driver was hesitating so that the car did not move, Mrs. Ding was angry in the car, and got up angrily and lifted the curtain of the car, and just wanted to scold the person who blocked the car, but after seeing who the person opposite was, Mrs. Ding couldn't scold in amazement: "Lu Lingjun, Wan'er? Why are you stopping me here? ”

Lu Ren stopped in the middle of the road with his arms outstretched at this moment, and Wan'er followed behind Lu Ren. And when Mrs. Ding appeared, Lu Ren stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the cart horse, and by the way, he also glanced at the coachman, but Mrs. Ding didn't have anything to say here.

If someone else had stopped her, Mrs. Ding might have really driven straight away without paying attention to anything, but when she saw Lu Ren and Wan'er, Mrs. Ding couldn't give up. Because whether it is Lu Ren or Wan'er, they have a very delicate relationship with the current Mrs. Ding......
