Chapter 233: Seeds

At this time, Xu Shu on the side couldn't help but ask, "Lord, aren't you stopping Wang Yun's actions?" Why is it said to prevent others from taking advantage of it? Doesn't Wang Yun have the ability to control the situation? ”

Xu Ji smiled: "Of course! Wang Yun is naturally vicious and deep-sighted, and he is indeed a master of layout, but unfortunately Wang Yun's vision is too short-sighted, it is not difficult to get rid of Dong Zhuo, the question is how to get rid of Dong Zhuo's subordinates after getting rid of Dong Zhuo? Wang Yun was originally a friend of Lord Cai, and Wang Yun had been friends for many years, and Wang Yun said that if you don't want it, let alone treat your enemies? Once Dong Zhuo is dead, Wang Yun will definitely give an order to kill the rest of Dong Zhuo's party, although the military discipline of the Xiliang soldiers and the Bingzhou soldiers is extremely poor, but the counterattack in the desperate situation is extremely terrifying, can Wang Yun stop it? ”

Xu Shu nodded and smiled when he heard this: "I know who the Dao Lord is afraid of, it must be that Jia Xu, right?" Xu Ji smiled: "It's still Yuan Zhi who knows me." ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "The lord has won the award, but I know that the lord of the Dao is going to repeat his old tricks this time." What Wang Yun didn't do, let us do it. ”

Xu Ji looked at Xu Shu, and his eyes flashed: "That's right, in fact, Wang Yun's strategy is really good, and now the only strategy that can move Dong Zhuo is the beauty plan." Who made Dong Zhuo's gang of people perverts from top to bottom! Xu Shu nodded and said, "That's right." It's just that I don't know whose woman the lord wants to use to do this? Also, after Dong Zhuo's death, what will happen to the lord? ”

Xu Ji replied with a smile when he heard this question: "I already have eyebrows, I will talk about this matter later, and I am not ready to put the emperor in Chang'an." I'm going to take the emperor to Yanzhou. After all, Guanzhong is not our world, of course. These things are taken one step at a time, if possible. It is also a very good thing for us to occupy Chang'an. Xu Shu nodded yes.

Everyone talked for a while, and when they saw that it was getting late, they all dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest, but Xu Ji and Xu Shu met for the first time, and they fell asleep at that time, talking in a low voice, and did not fall asleep until very late.

I got up early the next day, and I had breakfast, but a corporal came to report. It was said that the envoys from all over the country went to see Dong Zhuo today, Xu Ji hurriedly had breakfast, and then took Chen to Dong Zhuo's mansion. Not long after, the two of them had already come to the outside of Dong Zhuo's mansion, reporting their names, and naturally someone hurriedly led the way inside, with a very respectful attitude, obviously shocked by Xu Ji's name.

When I entered the living room, I saw a few extremely beautiful and plump maids there cleaning up the tea drinks. Xu Ji looked strange, obviously someone came before them, so he asked who the maids were, and those maids saw the two masculine men in front of them. is very manly, and can't help but light up, smiling and rushing to answer to the two with a greasy sweet voice. Xu Ji and Chen Zhi couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when they looked at the posture of these girls who were obviously less than eighteen years old. When I heard that voice again, I had goosebumps all over my body. almost ran away, and they all knew who was playing with what birds, and these maids only appeared in Dong Zhuo's mansion. However, they also understood, it turned out that it was Chen Deng and his party who came one step ahead of them, and as Xu Ji expected, of course Cao Ling also came, this answer made Xu Ji's heart sink, and he knew that he was still one step late, and it seemed that Cao Ling was given to Dong Zhuo as a friendship object.

Does the beauty trick really use Cao Ling? Let's not talk about the question that Xu Ji can't bear to bear, the question is whether Cao Ling, a little girl, will use her beauty to provoke Lu Bu's dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo? This is a bit too difficult for Cao Ling. But if Cao Ling doesn't do this, her fate in the future will be even worse.

was hesitating for a while, but he remembered Chen Zhi's binge drinking, and after he woke up, he found that Chen Zhi was glaring at those maids, and those maids were retreating in panic, obviously these maids were going to do something to Chen Zhi just now, but they were driven away by Chen Zhi. Only Xu Ji and the others were left in the entire hall. ”

Xu Ji rarely saw Chen Zhi, who had excellent cultivation, in such a state, and couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Zhi is really a talent, and there will be girls who take the initiative to post it wherever he goes!" ”

Chen Zhi didn't expect Xu Ji to come up with this sentence, he was originally being made angry by these women, but after hearing Xu Ji's words at this moment, he couldn't help crying and laughing: "My lord......"

Xu Ji pretended to squirm and whispered strangely: "It's really strange, I think that I, Xu Ji, am also a Yushu Linfeng, outstanding, and a talent, why is there no one to harass me?" Immediately, he suddenly realized: "I know the truth, it turns out that this is because of makeup." He looked at Chen Dao with a helpless face, and then said: "Uncle Zhi, to be honest, I have long heard Fengxiao say that there are many women who show favor to you when you are in Jizhou, if you meet your heartbeat, don't live up to your youth, although it is undecided today, but the major events of life are not your own business." ”

Chen Zhi's face turned pale, he saw that there was no one left and right, and whispered to Xu Ji: "Lord, I already have a sweetheart, she has been waiting for me since I went out to learn art at the age of fourteen, can Chen Zhi let her down?" Chen Zhi is a person with a heart, but this heart is already in others, so the lord still doesn't want to urge me. Xu Ji was stunned, he didn't expect this kind of result.

nodded at the moment and stopped talking, Chen Zhi immediately changed the topic and said: "Lord Lejin, those maids just now said that Chen Deng and Cao Bao were brought into the secret room by Dong Zhuo's subordinates to see Dong Zhuo, and they couldn't come out for a while, saying that Dong Zhuo left an order for us to walk around at will, and we don't have to be polite." Xu Ji looked at Chen Zhi, saw Chen Zhi winking at him, his heart moved, and he smiled: "Uncle Zhi, I know what you want to say?" Chen Zhi said with a smile: "Lord Lejin is extremely smart, of course I know what I want to say?" ”

Xu Ji smiled: "The weather is good, why don't we go to the back garden for a walk." Chen Zhi grinned and said, "It's okay, maybe you'll meet a beauty." Xu Jiha smiled and said: "Of course, the so-called 'there is no grass at the end of the world'!" Chen Zhi's body shook and said, "Mr. Lejin, what a good sentence." Xu Ji shook his head and smiled, patted Chen to the shoulder, and the two walked out side by side.

Dong Zhuo's back garden is no different from other gardens of this era, it is spring, and the flowers are blooming. Naturally, countless wild bees and butterflies are rushing in it.

Xu Ji and Chen Zhi laughed and walked into the garden, but saw a small pavilion standing among the thousands of flowers. In that small hall, there was an infinitely beautiful back facing the two of them. When Chen saw it, he pouted to Xu Jiyi. Xu Ji said with a smile: "Uncle Zhi has been with Fengxiao for some time, and he has learned to be like a god, and there are really beautiful women here." ”

Chen Zhi smiled and turned around to let Xu Ji out. Talking about jokes, the heaviness in Xu Ji's heart has not been reduced in the slightest, of course he knows that the person sitting in the small hall at the moment is Cao Ling.

In fact, this matter is easy to guess, Chen Deng and Cao Bao went to see Dong Zhuo, how could they not take Cao Ling directly, of course, they left Cao Ling in the hall. Wait for everything to be negotiated with Dong Zhuo, and then Cao Ling will be dedicated to Dong Zhuo. During this time, of course, Cao Ling stayed in the hall, but Cao Ling was not in the hall when Xu Ji and Chen Zhi came, and because of the maid's words, Xu Ji and Chen Zhi judged that Cao Ling should take a break in the back garden, after all, Cao Ling is a girl, it is impossible to run around, and she knows the fate she will encounter. Of course, I'll go to the back garden to relax. Xu Ji walked towards the small hall, but he was very conflicted in his heart, he didn't know what to say to Cao Ling for a while, and he didn't know what he wanted to do to help her.

Xu Ji walked lightly to the small pavilion. saw Cao Ling's back trembling slightly, obviously sobbing, and sighed in his heart. But he said strangely: "Isn't this Miss Cao Ling?" What a coincidence! Cao Ling was taken aback when she heard this. turned around and saw that it was Xu Ji. couldn't help but be stunned, immediately lowered his head, and hurriedly used his jade hand to make the corner of his eye, which was indescribably weak and moving.

As Xu Ji expected, Cao Ling is sitting here sad because of her unfortunate fate, of course, what is the big reason for this is because of the "Lejin" in front of her, she has already accepted her fate, since she was a child, she has heard her mother say that the meaning of the existence of girls like them from a wealthy family is to marry others for the benefit of the family, so at a young age, Cao Ling's soul is a pool of stagnant water, unexpectedly Xu Ji's appearance of pretending to be Lejin has given Cao Ling a new expectation of life, erudite knowledge, Sharp and unique opinions, "rough and mighty" appearance, all of this attracts Cao Ling, who is just beginning to fall in love, maybe all this is too fast, maybe this is not originally love, just because Cao Ling's original life was too depressing, so when Cao Ling met Xu Ji and saw a character like Xu Ji, a new world seemed to appear in front of her, that day she sat behind Xu Ji, her body was naturally trembling, others might think that she was afraid, but in fact, it was not like that, She just felt an unprecedented excitement and excitement, she really hoped that Xu Ji would continue to kill until everyone could no longer see them, and let Xu Ji take her to try an unprecedented life, but it didn't matter what Xu Ji did with her, as long as she was freed from the terrible fate she knew. Who knows, life is still so cruel, her life tossed a few times on Xu Ji's horseback, but then returned to the same place, just like a fly that landed on the rice was driven away, flew around and flew back again. Therefore, Cao Ling took advantage of Chen Deng and his father Cao Bao to come here to relax and cry when they went to see Dong Zhuo, who knew that when they came here, they were awakened by Xu Ji's words.

Xu Ji looked at Cao Ling's red and swollen eyes that were crying, and his heart hurt slightly, but he still smiled reluctantly: "It turns out that Miss Cao is confused, no wonder her eyes are so red." ”

Cao Ling couldn't help laughing when she heard this, Xu Ji saw her laughing, her heart was a little relieved, and before she could speak, she saw Cao Ling glance at herself and said, "This is the most clumsy joke I've ever heard in my life." ”

Xu Ji saw that Cao Ling was in a good mental state, and he was very surprised, and then his heart was shocked. Zhilu Dao still underestimated these girls from families, although they are powerless to control their own destiny, but they all have good qualities, and it seems that this Cao Ling in front of him is too. And once this kind of woman is forced into a desperate situation, she will try her best to save herself, and even do very brave things, and there are many examples of this kind in the entire history of the Three Kingdoms. Thinking of this, Xu Ji used Cao Ling's heart to come alive again, it seems that this Cao Ling is not a fuel-efficient lamp, otherwise Tao Qian would not have given Cao Ling to Dong Zhuo, you must know that Dong Zhuo has a lot of women, if there are no special skills, this Cao Ling will not be able to stand here at all, maybe Cao Ling herself is not aware of her own ability, but once she is cornered, this ability is only afraid that it will be stimulated immediately, thinking of this, Xu Ji's guilt is greatly weakened, telling himself that he is just a catalyst. Cao Ling has her own set.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji looked at Cao Ling and said, "Miss Cao seems to have a feeling!" Miss Cao is young. What do you say for a lifetime, so what do you want people like me to say? ”

Cao Ling glanced at Xu Ji and said, "Mr. Le Jin is a wise man who even Lord Chen Deng admires. Of course, some people only live one life in their lives, which is just like watching the sun rise every day, so we can know that the sun will rise every day. That's how my life is, and I'm probably never going to hear jokes again. Speaking of which, his eyes were a little red again.

Xu Ji now understands that he is self-inflicted, and people have some good feelings for him at most. Telling oneself by name is just a superficial attraction between men and women. Originally, the two had only met once, where would there be any bullshit feelings? His wife said that it was love at first sight with him. In fact, isn't it because I did those "frivolous" things first? It seems that this Cao Ling will be a good chess piece if he makes good use of it.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji said in a low voice: "I understand why Miss Cao is sad, but is Miss Cao ready to give in?" ”

When Cao Ling heard this, she was shocked and looked at Xu Ji who was smiling.

Xu Ji's words shocked Cao Ling's heart, and looking at Xu Ji's compelling gaze, Cao Ling couldn't help but lower her head. He said softly, "Where did Mr. Lejin come from?" Cao Ling is just a weak woman, 'the life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker', what else is there to say. ”

Xu Ji nodded noncommittally and said, "It turns out that Miss Cao has such a mind. The so-called 'everything is fate, and nothing is up to anyone', even if it is contemptible to say too much. "Say it. I wanted to go away.

Cao Ling was stunned by Xu Ji's sentence "Everything is fate, and no one can help it". Obviously, I was caught up in the heart by the incisive language, and I haven't had time to reminisce about it. But he didn't expect the person in front of him to say that he would leave, and he couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Mr. stay." Xu Jiha smiled and said, "What else is there to say?" That night, the young lady told the contemptible people about her name on horseback, and the contemptible people thought that the young lady was a rare strange woman, and she could talk to the young lady about her heart, but she didn't expect that it was just the young lady's temporary forgetfulness, but the contemptible and mediocre people disturbed themselves, and of course they took their leave. ”

Cao Ling didn't expect the other party to be so direct, her pretty face flushed, although she had some wisdom, but she was not the opponent of a political veteran like Xu Ji, what she said just now was just a cover-up of her own insincerity, in her impression, the other party should comfort her, who knew that the other party turned around and left, and couldn't help but make her messy.

Xu Ji knew that he couldn't go too far, turned around, looked at Cao Ling and said in a deep voice: "Miss Cao, Le Jin is a straight person, and I believe in fate more, Le Jin and Miss had a shared ride that day, so Le Jin definitely couldn't bear to see Miss Cao unhappy, Le Jin obviously saw Miss Cao crying, but Miss Cao didn't mean what she said to her life-saving benefactor, didn't you think it was too much?" Cao Ling was speechless.

Xu Ji smiled secretly in his heart, for many years, Xu Ji, who was accustomed to using excuses, certainly understood the importance of finding a high-sounding reason before doing things. Now Cao Ling is obviously dissatisfied with her current life, and Xu Ji certainly knows how to take advantage of this.

Cao Ling knew that she was wrong, and was silent for a long time before she said slowly: "Mr. Lejin, please forgive the little woman for being rude just now, it was really caused by a momentary chaos, but the little woman can't figure it out, why Lord Lejin cares so much about the little woman, is there really such a thing as fate in the world?" ”

Xu Ji didn't dare to underestimate the woman in front of her, on the surface, this woman seemed to be apologizing to herself, but in fact, she was testing herself, she obviously understood that there was no free lunch in the world, and she understood that since Xu Ji talked to herself, she would definitely have her own purpose. Xu Ji can see that this woman may be very immature politically, but she is a strong girl, and the only thing she can rely on in the current situation is herself, so she will not trust anyone, including Xu Ji, who saved his life.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji nodded and said: "Miss Cao asked well, but I hope Miss Cao will figure out one thing, I don't have any friendship with Miss Cao, I didn't have it before, I don't have it now, and I won't have it in the future, as for Miss Cao's body, I'm not interested in it, I just see Miss Cao and the contemptible person have lived and died together after all, so I don't want to see Miss so unhappy, where will there be other ideas?" Ha, then again, it would be a good thing if Miss Cao listened to her parents' arrangement! As long as the young lady can see it, it would be fine. ”

Cao Ling thought about it carefully, and found that she really didn't have anything to use for Lejin, so she couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Mr. said it was funny." But what can I do, a weak woman? ”

Xu Ji smiled: "Why did Miss say this? In fact, there are many things in this world that we can't avoid, so we should bravely meet him. Since they are all alive, why not laugh and tear up? ”

Cao Ling was shocked when she heard this. pondered: "Why is the gentleman always so thought-provoking when he speaks?" Hearing what my husband said, my mood was much better. ”

Xu Ji nodded and said: "In fact, the most important thing is for people to live, even if there are many disasters in this life, you must know that as long as you live, we will 'get', whether it is good or bad, we have been 'getting', if we die, we really have nothing." At that time, everything in this world has nothing to do with you, and just thinking about this kind of thing will make you know how terrible it is. ”

When Cao Ling heard this, her body couldn't help but shiver. Xu Ji looked at Cao Ling's expression, knowing that he had already spoken to her heart, and said with a smile: "Miss wants me to think of a way to stay away from here, I can't think of it, if my father-in-law Xu Ji is here, it is possible to save you from the sea of suffering, but this matter is just a mirage." Just think about it in your dreams. In my opinion, Miss Cao should think about how to survive in this environment. As the saying goes, 'only the newcomer laughs, and who sees the old cry', if Miss Cao wants to control her own destiny. You have to find a way to make others always pay attention to you, so that others can 'hide the golden house', and not be the 'Nagato Gillian'. Am I right? ”

Cao Ling is a woman from a big family after all. Of course, I understand what Xu Ji is talking about, and my only hope now is that I can live comfortably. Of course, she has to compete with Dong Zhuo's other women, and she still has absolute confidence in her appearance. However, it is not as simple as lying in bed for a woman to hook a man. And this is exactly what Cao Ling is not good at.

Xu Ji looked at Cao Ling pondering there, snickered in his heart, and said on the surface: "I am a man, I can tell you that men are often disdainful of things that are easy to get their hands on, and what they can't get is the best." Hearing Xu Ji's words, Cao Ling was stunned for a while, and she didn't understand how this Lejin in front of her could have so many crooked heresies, but it sounded very reasonable.

Xu Ji looked at Cao Ling and said, "Do you know the allusion of the 'Beacon Opera Princes'?" Cao Ling was stunned for a moment and said: "Of course I know that in order to please the concubine Bao Xi, who doesn't like him, King Zhou You lit a beacon fire to find the princes, so that Bao Xi valued the appearance of the princes being fooled, and won a smile from Bao Xi, which is the so-called 'daughter buys a smile'." Is that right? ”

Xu Ji said noncommittally: "What Miss Cao said is right, but how does Miss Cao know that Lu Dao doesn't like King Zhou You?" As soon as these words came out, Cao Ling was stunned, and Xu Ji smiled: "If Bao Xi smiles at King Zhou You every day like other women, how long will King Zhou You, who has many women, be infatuated with her?" At least in the future, King Zhou You will only revolve around Bao Xi. ”

Xu Ji's words struck Cao Ling's heart like a morning bell.

Xu Ji looked at Cao Ling and said: "Actually, even if Miss Cao can't tolerate this kind of life now, it doesn't matter, Miss Cao can find another backer, as long as Miss Cao sees it well." When Cao Ling heard this, she looked at Xu Ji inexplicably, not knowing what Xu Ji's words meant. Xu Ji said leisurely: "Miss Cao should know that Prime Minister Dong Zhuo is already very old, the so-called 'unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck', I don't believe that the women around Prime Minister Dong will not seek a way out for themselves." Miss Cao, what do you say? ”

Cao Ling nodded involuntarily, and whispered the two sentences "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck", Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "I know the meaning of Miss leaving her name that night, but I just want Miss to take Miss away, but that's not because Miss likes Le Jin, it's just that Miss wants to live a life she wants, right?" Cao Ling nodded, and only now did she have to admit that Chen Deng's evaluation of this Lejin was very reasonable.

Xu Ji stood up, stretched out his hand outside the pavilion, picked a flower, handed it to Cao Ling, and said with a smile: "But Lejin doesn't have this ability, but I heard that there are countless capable people in Chang'an City, and there are many people who can go to Prime Minister Dong Cheng's mansion. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Cao Ling nodded, in fact, Xu Ji's words were already very explicit. Xu Ji was very calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but feel empty in his heart, did he say what he said just now? It's just despicable. However, looking at Cao Ling's gradually cheerful face, Xu Ji felt a little more comfortable in his heart, knowing that he was just playing a role in fueling the troubles, even if he didn't say it, I was afraid that Cao Ling would do it sooner or later. Just thinking about it, Cao Ling raised her head and looked at Xu Ji, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of Mr. and me saying these things?" ”

Xu Ji smiled: "What is there to be afraid of? The contemptible people didn't ask Miss Cao to kill for money, and said that many of them were all for Miss Cao's good? ”

Cao Ling looked at Xu Ji and smiled, "Really? However, I remember that Mr. Le Jin was the envoy of Yanzhou Xu Ji Xu Horse, is there no reason for this? ”

Xu Ji was shocked when she heard this, and the little girl who was so powerful in her heart said that she was expressionless on the surface and smiled: "Miss Cao's words are really funny, if I really start for the interests of my lord, I should try my best to destroy this matter, and I should put Miss to death, in this way, my Yanzhou will obviously have a lot less trouble, where will I give you the way, I want you to win the favor of Prime Minister Dong and even a young lady to seek a way back?" Is there such a thing in the world? Hum! Then again, my lord's soldiers are strong and strong, and I am afraid of who will come" Cao Ling was anxious when she saw the "Le Jin" in front of her, and hurriedly smiled: "Mr. Le Jin, it's the little woman who is rude." Thank you for your forgiveness. Xu Ji waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, but he was secretly happy in his heart: he had long known that Lu Dao had this result, although Cao Ling would feel that she had helped her a little suddenly, but she would never have thought of the real purpose of what she did for Lu, it can be said that he planted a seed of beauty in Cao Ling's heart. Just wait for it to sprout. (To be continued......)
