Chapter 313: Trickery
A few days later, in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, a major event occurred that shocked the entire Han Dynasty!
Liu Biao was in poor health, so he ordered his deputy and the virtuous brother of the Han clan to replace him as a traitor in the troubled times, and Cao Cao, the Sikong of the Han Dynasty, mourned.
Cao Liu has always been incompatible, and this move is enough to make people all over the world look sideways.
The funeral was held extremely grand, the mahogany coffin, the mausoleum site was located on the west side of Xiangyang, and all the civil and military officials of Xiangyang, Jingzhou accompanied them, all obeyed Liu Bei's command!
The funeral was carried out in accordance with all the conventions of ancient times, although Cao Cao and Liu Bei were not separated, but after all, his body was the Han Dynasty, so all the arrangements were handled in accordance with the rites of the three dukes of the Han Dynasty.
The eulogy was written extremely profoundly, starting from Liu Bei and Cao Cao when they first met, from the crusade against the Yellow Turban, to the conquest of Dong Zhuo, etc., all of which listed Cao Cao's indelible achievements to the Han family and the world! Later, Liu Bei told in tears that Cao Cao had gone astray, embarrassed the Han Emperor, was disloyal, and had no choice but to be an enemy with him, which led to the two going from allies to confrontation.
Liu Bei himself is very talented in acting, and his reading of the text is full of tears, penetrating people's hearts, and can't help but be moved, especially the emotional expression of admiration and hatred for Cao Cao, which greatly touched the hearts of many Jingzhou families present!
Among them, the talents who were not high in Jingzhou or were not reused by Liu Biao had already returned to Liu Bei after this incident, including Huang Zhong, a fictitious lieutenant general in Jingzhou, Wei Yan, who had been depressed under Liu Biao, and Cai Mao's former general, Wen Ping, and other talents. Including Lumen Mountain next to Jingzhou, several students under the command of the famous scholar Pang Degong and Sima Hui all had a strong interest in Liu Bei.
Even after the funeral, Liu Bei's funeral for Cao Cao spread everywhere, so that many talents who were loyal to the Han family or maintained their own identity had the heart to defect to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei became famous for a while. Almost incomparable.
Not to mention that Liu Bei is making a hot fuss in Jingzhou, just saying that Chang'an is still a good scenery, on this day, Ma Yunlu is still scattered in the courtyard accompanied by Zhao Yun, but someone suddenly came to report that Cai Yan came to visit.
A few days after Ma Yunlu came to Chang'an, the matter of recuperating from his injuries was also thanks to Cai Yan and Zhang Luo, so the two were also extremely familiar with each other, and when they heard that Cai Yan was coming, they hurriedly ordered someone to introduce Cai Yan into the courtyard.
Cai Yan came alone. Seeing Ma Yunlu and Zhao Yun beside him, he smiled lightly and said to Ma Yunlu: "Miss Ma, how is it, the injury has been healed better during this time?" ”
Ma Yunlu hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Thank you Cai for your concern, since the little girl arrived in Chang'an City, she has been tired of taking care of everyone frequently, and now her body is much tougher." Thank you Cai for your concern. ”
Cai Yan smiled and waved his hand, and said, "You and I are now all under the Yuan family, and it is within our duty to take care of each other." Why do you want to say thank you, but General Zhao has been here with you for several days, if you are thanks, you should also thank him. ”
Ma Yunlu heard this. Immediately, his face turned red.
Zhao Yun still looked dead, very indifferent, and said, "She was injured on the battlefield because of me." It should be my duty to take care of her, so why bother to say thank you, everyone Cai has said this. ”
Zhao Yun's words were hard, although I don't know if they were sincere, but when they fell on Ma Yunlu's heart, he still felt very sour, and a trace of depression suddenly flashed on his face that was still in a daze.
Cai Yan saw all this in his eyes, and he didn't know how to do it in his heart, and said in his heart that this Zhao butcher was really a piece of hard wood, and when he opened his mind, he didn't know what year and month he would have to wait, so it seemed that he really had to do what Yuan Shang said.
Gently put the food box in his hand on the stone case in the courtyard, Cai Yan smiled slightly, and casually changed the topic: "Miss Ma, I will make some desserts here, specially for you to replenish your body, you come and taste it, see how my craftsmanship is?" ”
Ma Yunlu immediately thanked him, then walked over, grabbed a piece of pastry, took a bite, and then said in surprise: "Cai, this pastry is so fragrant and smooth." ”
Cai Yan smiled lightly and said, "No, before Chang'an arrived in Mobei, the craftsmanship was quite superb, but now it is not as good as it was then." If Miss Ma likes to eat, you might as well come to my Cai Mansion tonight, I will prepare some good wine and food, one is that we will talk about sisterhood, and the other is also to add some color to your injury, what does Miss Ma think? ”
Ma Yunlu was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "It's so decent, everyone Cai invited me to the banquet, how embarrassed ......"
Cai Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's all your own people, why be so polite, Miss Ma doesn't give Yan face?" ”
Ma Yunlu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Everyone Cai, how dare Yunlu not obey, it's so decided." ”
Cai Yan smiled and nodded, then turned to Zhao Yun and said, "General Zhao also came over to accompany him, how about it?" ”
Zhao Yun was stunned at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was okay, so he nodded in agreement.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu came to Cai Yan's former residence, which was Cai Yong's mansion back then, to be invited, and just got off the carriage at the door, but saw two handsome young men greeted them with a smile and nodded at Zhao Yun.
"It's such a coincidence that Brother Zilong also came to the banquet?"
"General Zhao was also invited by everyone Cai, why did he bring his family here?"
Seeing these two people, Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu couldn't help but be stunned.
It was Yuan Shang and Sima Yi.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Yun's brows began to furrow deeply, and an indescribable sense of uneasiness began to spread throughout his body.
Yuan Shang smiled and said happily: "How fresh, Cai, everyone is invited, and it's not just you who are invited, we are not people, why can't we be invited?" ”
Zhao Yun looked at Yuan Shang suspiciously, and said in a low voice, "Really? …… Not a conspiracy? ”
"You have a fart worthy of my yin? Are you so suspicious that you let the dead ghost Cao Cao possess you? If you don't want to eat so many problems, just get out! ~”
As he was talking, he saw Cai Yan coming out of it with a smile, and said to the four people with a smile: "It's all here, so it's good, the wine and food in the house are ready, just waiting for you to come and get together?" Lord, General Zhao, Mr. Sima, Sister Yunlu, please inside! ”
Several people hurriedly thanked each other, and then saw Zhao Yun as the leader, Ma Yunlu followed closely behind, and walked into the hall first, but Cai Yan quietly walked to Yuan Shang's side and said in a low voice: "Can your plan work?" ”
Yuan Shang nodded, and said: "Of course it works, Butcher Zhao has a good face, and under normal circumstances, he can't bear to tell the truth, but the so-called wine is strong and sensational, today you prepare more delicious food and wine, the three of us are frequently raising the lamp, repeatedly persuading each other, drinking too much wine, and then adjusting the atmosphere next to us, matchmaking, not afraid that the two of them will not be married to each other......"
"Sizzle-" Cai Yan and Sima Yi took a breath at the same time.
"I mean, I'm not afraid that they will be reluctant to agree in the end, and they will eventually become married. In short, let's pour the wine and adjust the atmosphere, that's it! ”
Cai Yan glanced at Yuan Shang suspiciously, nodded and said, "I'll just believe you once...... But will it really work? ”
Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Of course, you can believe me....... go and prepare!" ”
Cai Yan nodded, and then walked to the front, but Sima Yi hurriedly ran over, grabbed Yuan Shang's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Lord, pouring wine for Zhao Yun and matching him and Miss Ma, such a plan is too shallow...... Does it really work? ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Yuan Shang raise his hand, gave Sima Yi a hairy chestnut, and said angrily: "You are a pig!" You can also believe the words of fooling the eldest aunt! Of course it's no! What kind of bear color is Zhao Yun, you don't know the way? Don't let him drink too much, if you drink him to death, he will have to be tense! ~No Honesty! ”
Sima Yi touched his head aggrievedly and said, "Then what should we do?" This marriage is too difficult to match, right? ”
Yuan Shang smiled, suddenly took out a vial from behind him, and said in a low voice, "Guess what this is?" ”
Sima Yi blinked his eyes and said, "My subordinates guess it's a bottle!" ”
"Use your! I ask you what's in the bottle? ”
"The subordinates are dull, I don't know~"
Yuan Shang smiled and said, "This is the magic medicine that Senior Brother Ge Xuan stole for me from Zuo Ci Lao Mao when I left Hebei. ”
Sima Yi blinked and said, "Miracle medicine? What's the magic trick? ”
Yuan Shang immediately lowered his head and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Ahh It turned out to be an aphrodisiac! Ah~~! ”
"Shh——!h Be quiet, don't let anyone hear you! Yuan Shang winked at Sima Yi and said with a smile: "This medicine is refined by Zuo Ci Lao'er, its potency is not comparable to ordinary medicines, once you take it, no matter what kind of hero or chaste martyr you are, they are all the same bag, you can play with it with a tree, as long as you let Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu drink it, it will be a good thing to go with the flow, and then I will marry again, and everything will come naturally." ”
Sima Yi nodded violently when he heard this, and said, "Lord, your trick is really too sassy...... No, it's wonderful, wonderful....... but do you know about this? ”
Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "Of course I don't know the Dao, let her know the Dao?" I can trust you in this, so this difficult task must be handed over to you. ”
Sima Yi was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Yuan Shang smiled and said: "My idea, the tool, the person who operates the drug, it should naturally be you, Zhongda, I know your ability to complain, but I don't know much about the ability to do, but I believe you will be able to do it!" Come on, the organization has entrusted you with such an important task, and it is a trust in you! Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu's lifelong happiness quietly became in the little bit of your drug....... I am optimistic about you! ”
With that, he stretched out his hand and put the medicine bottle in Sima Yi's hand.
Sima Yi: "......" (to be continued.) )
