Chapter 483 Where is Ren?
“…… Unexpectedly, Yihao people suddenly changed their minds during their illness, and they already had the intention of leaving! ”
Guo Jia actually knew better than anyone else about Lu Ren's departure, but Guo Jia never mentioned it to anyone, especially Cao Cao. It's just that Guo Jia didn't expect that Cao Cao could now deduce that Lu Ren wanted to leave just by reading the letter, but he pretended to be confused in surprise. In fact, Guo Jia is also quite embarrassed, after all, Cao Cao is the lord recognized by Guo Jia, and he must not have any conflict with Cao Cao in some matters, at this time, of course, he wants to protect himself and say: "Why did the lord think that Yihao had the intention of hiding?" ”
Looking at Cao Cao again, he snorted heavily: "Where is it so easy for his mansion to catch fire?" Now there is a fire in his house, which reminds Gu of burning books in the house in a fit of anger when he was removed from his official position, so Gu guesses that this fire should be set by himself, and he is showing his dissatisfaction to Gu! ”
Guo Jia had already guessed that most of this fire was set by Lu Ren himself, and he scolded Lu Ren thoroughly in his heart, and said in his heart, you bastard guy, if you want to leave, wouldn't it be good to go away quietly? Why do you make such a big commotion when you're full? It's just that now that the matter has come to this, Guo Jia has no choice but to advise Cao Cao: "Lord Mingjian! Yi Hao is full of thaumaturgy, if he really wants to leave, even if the lord rushes back, he is afraid that it will be too late......"
Cao Cao waved his hand violently: "No!" Although Yihao has thaumaturgy, he is powerless due to a serious illness, otherwise how could he temporarily live in the Childcare House to recuperate? If you want to keep him, you must rush back to Xudu before he recovers. If it is delayed a little time, Yihao will regain some strength, then he will really not be able to keep it anymore! ”
It should be said that Lu Ren pretended to be sick during the previous period and pretended to be very successful, which made Cao Cao have such a judgment. So Cao Cao took Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, and the elite guards Tiger Ben and Tiger and Leopard Riders overnight, a total of more than 300 horses, and hurried back to Xuchang. As for Guo Jia, Cao Cao didn't bring it. Maybe this is because Cao Cao considered the relationship between Guo Jia and Lu Ren and didn't want Guo Jia to be too difficult?
But no matter what, Cao Cao was very concerned about Lu Ren's affairs. In a sense, Lu Ren's situation is quite similar to Liu Beizhi, the difference is that Liu Bei has "Zhi", while Lu Ren has "talent", so Cao Cao is very worried that Lu Ren will set up his own door after breaking away from Cao Cao's control.
Even if he doesn't stand on his own, with Lu Ren's current reputation and ability, I'm afraid that wherever he goes, he will be appointed by other candidates and entrusted with important tasks. In either case, Cao Cao is likely to have an additional opponent who may be more powerful than Yuan Shao. This is not something Cao Cao wants to see. Because of this, Cao Cao's people obviously went on the expedition, but they chose to return to Xuchang immediately and in person to solve the potential hidden danger of Lu Ren.
There was nothing to say on the road, and Cao Cao rushed back to Xuchang overnight. Cao Cao set off at noon today, led by the main infantry group, so in fact, he walked about thirty miles, not far from Xuchang. And how much time can it take at this distance? And Cao Cao didn't go anywhere after he rushed back to Xuchang. directly led these hundreds of horses to the Fuyouyi House.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the Fuyou Righteous House, Cao Cao saw Mrs. Ding waiting at the gate. Because of the old feelings, Cao Cao forcibly suppressed the urgency, and said to Mrs. Ding in a deep voice: "It's been a long time...... Although you and I are in Xudu. I don't know how long it's been since we've seen each other. ”
Mrs. Ding calmly stood in front of the door and saluted Cao Cao, and responded unashamedly: "You are the third duke, and you have the power of the world; I am now only a wasted person, how dare I see each other again? Mende. You're here to find Ren'er, right? ”
"Exactly! Where is Lu Ren? ”
Mrs. Ding smiled faintly: "He had already guessed that you would come here to look for him, so he left a long time ago." But before he leaves, let me tell you a word if you want to find him. Go to the Jade Bridge to the west of Moe Village, where he will meet you again. ”
Cao Cao paused for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Is there any deception?" ”
Mrs. Ding turned around slowly, and her words brought out a bit of sarcasm: "What about the void, what about the reality?" I have already told you, believe it or not is your own business. But I think I should remind you that this kid Ren'er is not an incompetent person, and he has already expected everything before you, if you really don't want to be found again, what can you do? If you do what you say, you may still find him, but if you are too suspicious to do so, you will never think of finding him again. ”
Cao Cao was slightly suffocated, and recalled in his mind the "flying day" of Wan'er in Lu Ren's arms that day. After a little groaning, Cao Cao turned around and strode out of the door, shouting: "Go to Meng Village!" ”
Mrs. Ding quietly watched Cao Cao leave, and said secretly in her heart: "Child, I brought the last words for you, and Meng De also rushed to see you as you wished...... But what the hell are you trying to do this, kid? I know Meng De's personality very well, if he can't keep you, he will definitely kill the killer, and you will be killed! Take care, kids! ”
――――――――――――――――――――
When Cao Cao and his party rushed to the south gate, they were stunned to find that Guo Jia had also rushed back to Xuchang at some point, and was waiting for Cao Cao at the south gate at the moment.
"Fengxiao, what do you mean?"
Guo Jiaren slowly bowed to Cao Cao on the horse, and said earnestly: "Lord, don't chase after you...... Yihao is not a person with ambitions in his heart, and since Wan'er died, how can we understand the pain in his heart? Now that he is gone, Jia dares to assert that he is only looking for a place to spend the rest of his life in peace, and he does not ask how the world is going. There is nothing more mourning than the death of the heart, Yihao is already a person with a dead heart, so please let the lord let him go! ”
Cao Zhise said: "Fengxiao, what can Yihao do, you and I still haven't been able to know!" If he does it intentionally, he will be cold when he thinks about it! Before, you forced Lone to stay with him, weren't you worried that Yihao would be used by others? ”
Guo Jia said: "My lord, Jia and Yihao have been friends for many years, and I know that he is definitely not a person with lofty ideals!" I think that over the years, he has always regarded me as a brother, but I have hardly done anything for him, and in the end, he even chilled his heart for the great cause of the lord! Jia Zizi knows that he is deeply indebted to him, and now he can only implore the lord to open up the net, so that he can last live a little more comfortable and peaceful life, so that I, who is an elder brother, can feel a little guilty in my heart. I also hope that the lord can see that Yihao has made many merits for the lord, and let him go! ”
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, but finally shook his head vigorously and said: "Fengxiao, Yihao, this person, I dare not indulge!" Don't say much about this matter, but only if you are alone this time, you will be alone, and you will apologize for being alone in the future! All the guards, quickly open the Guo sacrifice wine rack! ”
A group of guards stepped forward and forcibly took Guo Jia out of the doorway, although Guo Jia was in a hurry, he couldn't break free. And Cao Cao slightly took some horses when he was by Guo Jia's side, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Fengxiao, if Yihao is a pawn, Lone will take it as the third public...... No, if you are buried with the rites of all the waiters, you will cry in person. Fengxiao, Lone now also said a sincere word, if Lone is the kind of person who has the kindness of a woman and does not care about the consequences, how can he achieve an immortal career? If you are really the kind of person who is indecided, how can you follow Yu Gu? ”
Guo Jia was silent when he heard this, and finally could only shake his head lightly and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, don't chase it." What kind of skills this kid has, no one can imagine. Does the lord still remember the things he did when he broke Pi and beheaded Yuan Jiang? If the lord really pushes him to be anxious, and he uses those thaumaturgy to deal with the lord, then the lord will have a big loss! ”
These words made Cao Cao really hesitate. But after glancing at the hundreds of horsemen, Cao Cao's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Or should it be said that Cao Cao thought that Lu Ren did not have the intention of killing him, after all, there did not seem to be any deep hatred between Lu Ren and Cao Cao. And Lu Ren's burning of the mansion is just a childish temper like burning books when he was dismissed from his official position. Now that he wants to meet Cao Cao, he may just want to complain to Cao Cao and scold others, and try to be happy before leaving...... This is also to blame Guo Jia, because Guo Jia did not mention to Cao Cao that Lu Ren already knew the inside story of Wan'er's death.
In short, Cao Cao didn't say anything, but asked Guo Jia to step aside, and he ran out of the south gate with his men and horses. Guo Jia originally wanted to tell Lu Ren what he already knew at this time, but after all, Guo Jia also had his own contradictions, so he couldn't say these words, and he could only watch Cao Cao and his party gradually move away.
When the doorman let go of Guo Jia, Guo Jia stood in front of the south gate and looked at the backs of Cao Cao and the others, and sighed in his heart: "Lu Yihao, you stinky boy, what do you want to do now?" If you want to go, why do you have to talk to the lord? I warned you not to trouble your lord, but did you take my words to heart? Anyway, be careful, the lord has really moved on your killing intent now. ”
Not to mention that Guo Jia is worried here, just say that Cao Cao and his party will soon arrive at the Shili Post Pavilion on the official road in the south of Xuchang City.
"Pilot-"
With Cao Cao's sudden shouting sound, these hundreds of horses gradually took the momentum of the horses. Looking at Cao Caoren on horseback and frowning for a long time, he suddenly turned his head to Zhang Liao, who was riding on the side, and asked: "Wen Yuan, in your opinion, since Lu Yihao has the intention of abandoning the official and leaving quietly, and he doesn't want Gu Qiang to stay with him, will he be suspicious, so that Gu and Gu will go against the other and not see each other?" ”
"Well...... this"
Zhang Liao pondered for a while before hesitating: "This matter is also a little uncertain. However, in the end, the general thought that with Lu Yihao's ability and acting before the lord, if he really wanted to abandon the official and leave quietly, he was afraid that others would not know at all. Now that he is acting like this, it is very likely that he really wants to have an interview with the lord before leaving, but he is afraid that the lord guild will force him to stay, so he chooses a place in advance and prepares to get out after the interview with the lord. ”
Zhang Liao's words were similar to what Mrs. Ding said before, Cao Cao nodded lightly after hearing it, and recalled in his mind how Wan'er's body disappeared in Lu Ren's arms that day, and then lowered his head and was silent...... (To be continued.) )
