After Cao Pi got Cao Cao's consent, he walked out of the Qingxin Hall with some excitement, he thought about it, and walked directly towards the harem of the palace.

Half an hour later, he appeared in the harem Bian Yue Palace.

This palace is the palace of Bian Guifei, one of Cao Cao's concubines, and Bian Guifei is also Cao Pi's biological mother.

"Mother, my father has agreed to the invitation of my son's minister's army, and my son's visit this time is to say goodbye to my mother, and my son's minister is about to go north!"

He knelt on his knees in front of Concubine Bian and saluted respectfully.

"Zihuan, have you figured it out this time?"

Bian Guifei looked at Cao Pi, couldn't help but stretch out her Qianqianyu hand, gently stroked her son's head, and asked softly.

She is the only concubine under the current queen Ding, in Cao Cao's harem, the most powerful is her, although Queen Ding is the master of the harem, but now the harem is basically handled by her.

Empress Ding is Cao Cao's wife, Cao Cao loves her very much, and it is natural for her to be crowned queen, but she has no heirs, so she just adopted the crown prince Cao Ang.

Cao Ang did not die in Nanyang like history, so she never turned her face with Cao Cao, and her mother was the world, but she had a peaceful temperament and never argued, so she was not strong as this queen.

Under Queen Ding, it is necessary to count the two people who lead the harem, in the royal family, under normal circumstances, the mother is expensive by her son, but Bian Guifei gave birth to several sons for Cao Cao, which is naturally more powerful than Huan Guifei.

Among them, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi are all from her, although Cao Ang is now the prince, but Cao Pi Cao Zhang began to grow up, and now he has a lot of competitiveness.

"Mother. We were born in the royal family, it is still a troubled era, the world is uncertain, it is our destiny to fight on the battlefield, and now my brother has been stationed in the East Palace, and the sons and daughters cannot be obscure. The mother concubine wants to fight, but the sons are not reconciled! ”

Cao Pi said firmly: "So Erchen must join the army, only by controlling the military power, we can have a chance, Erchen is going north, life and death have been put aside, only worry about the mother!" ”

"Since you've made up your mind, go ahead!"

When Concubine Bian heard this, she silently closed her eyes. Although she couldn't bear it in her heart, she could only bear it, this was fate.

She said faintly: "You don't have to worry about my mother, there are still Huang Xu'er and Xiao Zhi'er by my mother's side, and my mother only hopes that you can return smoothly and safely!" ”

"The son of the minister takes the order, please take care of the mother!"

Cao Pi stood up and looked at his mother. Holding back the reluctance in his heart, he strode out of the harem.

"Xiuchun!" looked at the back of Cao Pi leaving. Concubine Bian let out a low voice

"!"

A young palace maid appeared in the main hall in an instant like a ghost, leaning down and kneeling down to receive the order.

"You take my name and go to visit Zhang Lu, the king of Hanzhong who is idle in the capital, remember, don't let people know!"

"Yes!"

The little palace maid raised her head, her eyes asking what she was going to do when she saw Zhang Lu.

"This palace knows that although the Heavenly Master Alliance has been broken by Wu Guo and Zuo Ci in one fell swoop. There have been countless casualties among the masters, but he should still have a lot of Jianghu rangers in his hands, including many masters! ”

Concubine Bian said indifferently: "My son is going north now, and I need him to send a capable master to protect my son's safety!" ”

". Will he say yes? The little palace maid asked.

"He will!"

Concubine Bian showed a contemptuous smile: "The sick tiger is not as good as a cat, he is now extremely down-and-out, I wish I could owe him a favor!" ”

"The slave and maid understand, the slave and maid must get things done!" The little palace maid took the prayer post, her body was light, and she disappeared into the main hall like the wind.

"Son, that's all the mother can do for you now, and how you will do it in the future will depend on your creation!"

Bian Guifei's expression was complicated, she knew very well in her heart that the momentum Cao Pi's chances of winning were very small, and there was no even chance of winning, Cao Ang debuted early, and he had established his prestige in both Cao Wei's political arena and the military, unless he died unexpectedly, Cao Pi had no chance of taking the throne at all.

……

After Cao Pi left the harem, he left Shangyang Palace City directly, he stood in front of the palace gate, suddenly raised his head, looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky, couldn't help clenching his fists, and the corners of his mouth outlined an arc of fighting intent: "Brother, the grace of your teaching is in my heart, but I will never give up this Ninety-Five!" ”

Cao Cao has been away for many years, most of the time on the battlefield, in fact, he is Cao Ang's brother instead of his father, educated and raised, he has a respect for Cao Ang, but ambition will not disappear because of these awe.

Young and vigorous, in the face of this throne, he can't help but fight, no matter what success or failure, he has to fight for that position, because he wants to become the emperor who holds the world like his father.

"Zihuan, has Your Majesty agreed to your request?"

At this time, in the corridor on the left side of Miyagi, a young man wearing the equipment of the Imperial Forest Army walked over, looked at the young man in the brocade robe, and asked with a smile.

"Brother Xiahou, this is the time I want to thank you for your advice!"

Cao Pi turned his head, looked at the young man of the Imperial Forest Army, looked happy, and said with some gratitude: "My father has agreed, let me enter the Zuo Wuwei under the command of General Yu Ban, and go north today!" ”

When Cao Ang stayed in the East Palace, he Cao Pi was young, and his momentum in the Great Wei Dynasty was suddenly greatly lost, and even he himself was a little decadent.

It was Xiahou Ling's brother who gave him confidence, and Xiahou Ling told him that the crown prince was just a prince, and as long as the dust did not settle for a day, he would still have a chance.

This gave him a little bit of scrappy regain his fighting spirit.

Xiahou Ling also reminded him of a sentence: Heavy ears are on the outside and An Shen is born and dies inside.

So he chose to leave the capital city of Luoyang.

"Zihuan, this is what you want to do, I didn't do anything, I won't help you two!"

Xiahou Ling, the general of the Imperial Forest Army, was responsible for the guards of the palace, although he was wearing battle armor, he looked a little elegant and delicate, and his smile was as warm as water.

"Brother, with your talent, you will definitely not be inferior to Brother Cao Xiu, it is always difficult to stand out in guarding the palace, and there are few achievements, it is better for you to go north with me, and now Zuo Wuwei has invaded Zhuo County. We're going to be able to show our strength! ”

Cao Pi looked at the elder brother of the Xiahou family and invited him.

"Huh!"

When the young man heard this, he just smiled, then shook his head and said, "Zihuan, I am His Majesty's personal guard." The general of the Imperial Guards Army, with the responsibility of defending His Majesty's safety, could not leave his post without permission! ”

"Brother, you are indeed the most loyal to your father!" Cao Pi bowed his hand to Xiahou Ling and said in a deep voice: "We are not as good as you!" ”

The treatment of the Imperial Forest Army is very good and the status is very high, but most of the young people of the second generation of Wei have made meritorious contributions to the battlefield, and few people are willing to join the Imperial Forest Army, which has few battles.

"Zihuan, this sword is for you. There are no eyes on the battlefield, you are careful! Xiahou Ling suddenly untied the sword at his waist and handed it to Cao Pi.

"I will not live up to my brother's expectations!"

Cao Pi held his long sword and left in the wind and snow.

"Cao Pi, in fact, many things have been doomed from the beginning, I'm sorry!" Xiahou Ling looked at Cao Pi's figure, and felt some inexplicable feelings in his heart.

But this feeling was only for a moment, and he quickly put away his emotions. Harden your heart and do what you have to do.

When night falls, the night is quiet. Luoyang City is not Jinling City, Jinling City is a city that never sleeps, but the curfew in Luoyang is very strict, and at night, the whole city wall is silent.

The largest market in Luoyang City, the East Market is also silent. However, the fruitless study, located in a corner of the East Market, welcomed two uninvited guests.

In the night, the two of them walked into the study through the back door, one after the other, wearing hats and cloaks, wrapping themselves tightly.

The owner of the study personally took the two to a quiet secret room. Then quietly left.

In the secret room, the atmosphere was quiet and secluded, the light of an oil lamp was a little dim, and the two sat opposite each other.

"Why are you in such a hurry to see me!"

The young man on the left was Fang Shi, the master of the Ghost Pawn Eagle Raising Hall, and his eyes were fixed on the young man who was less than two meters away from him.

This is the first time I have seen the most mysterious shadow in this brocade guard so closely.

"I'm in a hurry to find you, naturally there is something big!"

Xiahou Ling took off his hat and revealed that elegant face: "Fang Shi, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we have talked many times through the curtain, but the meeting is actually the second time, and the first time should be Bishui Pass!" ”

"Xiahou Ling, I checked a lot of people, but I didn't expect it to be you!"

Fang Shi saw the familiar face clearly, and gasped, he included Xiahou Ling as a suspect just to disturb Jia Xu's line of sight, he never thought that this outstanding young man of the Xiahou family actually took Jinyi Wei Tianzi No. 1 secret.

"You are Luo Tong, but you can become Xiahou Ling, a person of the genealogy of the Xiahou family, how did you do it!"

Fang Shi asked, "Where is the real Xiahou Mausoleum?" ”

"Serendipity!"

Xiahou Ling's eyes were gloomy, he raised a cup of hot tea, took a sip, remembered some things in his mind, and said: "Xiahou Ling is dead, as for the things of that year, I don't really want to talk about it, and I don't want to have a meeting, I can only say that God helped me!" ”

"Why did you take such a risk to come to see me at the expense of issuing three secret orders in a row today?" Fang Shi calmed down and asked.

"Your Majesty has a big plan that we need to help accomplish!"

Xiahou Ling's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "We have to do two things, the first is to suppress the news of the ghost pawn, and the second is to figure out all the defensive forces in the city now!" ”

"Troop deployment?"

Hearing this, Fang Shi frowned slightly, and asked tentatively, "Is it Luoyang City?" ”

"That's right!"

"Why?" Fang Shi was a little puzzled in his heart, why did he want to figure out the distribution of troops in Luoyang City.

"Because Your Majesty is coming here soon!"

Xiahou Ling's eyes were far-reaching, and his voice was low but a little shocking: "Your Majesty will personally lead the cavalry, come out of Hanzhong, go north to Guanzhong, and take Luoyang directly, if you can take Luoyang, you can take Cao Wei, capture the thief and capture the head!" ”

"Is this so possible?" When Fang Shi heard this, his face was a little incredulous.

"I'm surprised, isn't it, in fact, I'm too, from the time I received the news to now, I can't figure out the reason, but Your Majesty won't joke with us about this!"

Xiahou Ling said in a deep voice: "I believe in Your Majesty, so our Majesty must cooperate with Your Majesty!" ”

"I believe in him too!"

Fang Shi gritted his teeth, forced himself to suppress all other doubtful thoughts, and strengthened his confidence: "What should we do now?" ”

"You or me, there is one person who has to come out to take the lead, so that he can integrate the resources of Luoyang, use the shadow of Jinyiwei to expose, and divert the attention of the ghost, but this person is easy to expose, the eggs can't be put in the same basket, and the other person must withdraw!"

Xiahou Ling said: "Be fair, let's draw lots to decide who will do it!" ”

"No!"

Fang Shi shook his head and said firmly: "I'll come, you are more important, any of us can be exposed, you can't, unless one day we completely win Cao Wei, otherwise you are our biggest trump card!" ”

"Have you figured it out?"

Xiahou Ling squinted: "Once this person is exposed, with Jia Xu's means, he may not be able to leave this city!" ”

"It's good for you, it's good for me, I've already put life and death out of the equation, if you have to die, I'm more suitable than you!"

Fang Shi smiled, his smile was very bright: "Actually, I am afraid of death, but I am even more afraid of the three words of the defiled Jinyiwei, we are Jinyiwei, and the glory of Jinyi cannot be tarnished by our fear of death!" ”

"I'm also afraid of death, in fact, I have been trembling every day for the past ten years, every time in the dead of night, I will remember when we were in Bishui Pass ten years ago, but the moment we chose to pick up the token in front of the second son, the three words of Jinyiwei have been engraved into the depths of our souls!"

Xiahou Ling stood up, took the hat, and said, "I really hope that when the world is unified, I can drink with you in Jinling City!" ”

After speaking, he quietly left the study.

"Will there ever be such a day?" Fang Shi looked at his disappearing figure, his eyes confused. (To be continued.) )
