Chapter 51: Cao Cao dies, and Medicine King Gu reappears
Cao Pi took Qiao Er's two sons, Wang Tiehammer and a group of personal guards, and hurried back to Luoyang City, he knew that at this time, his father's head disease was deep into the bone marrow, and only what the underworld keeper said that day, there was still a glimmer of hope that he could save his father by using this golden silk jade armor to change his life.
Fortunately, Cao Pi inquired all the way, and met Qiao Erzi and Wang Tiehammer who came out of the tomb of King Wu just now in the old place of Xiqi, and rushed back to Luoyang City with gold silk and jade armor clothes day and night, but now the door of this house in the city is closed, and a three-foot white silk is hung in front of the door, which makes Cao Pi feel puzzled and uneasy, but he does not dare to make more conjectures.
A few people were still watching around on the horse, not going far, suddenly a guard in armor galloped in front of him, looking at the dress, it should be the person close to the king of Wei, the man rode to Cao Pi approached, hurriedly dismounted and knelt down on one knee and saluted:
"The lower official sees the five senses Zhonglang General"
Cao Pi saw that it was a close minister of Cao Cao, the king of Wei, and hurriedly dismounted to greet him, originally Cao Pi wanted to ask what was going on in Luoyang City, but the guard did not give Cao Pi time to talk nonsense, and took out a secret letter directly from his arms.
"The main bus is replaced, and he must teach this superstition to his own hands."
Cao Pi looked at the guard in front of him solemnly, but he didn't stop in his hands, and hurriedly opened the superstition in his hand, unfolded the letter, and Cao Pi's eyes. He quickly swept aside in the letter, his face changed greatly, he grabbed the guard's wrist, and asked in a low voice with a little trembling:
"It's been a few days."
"I have more than four days, just waiting for the son to come back and preside over the overall situation."
In fact, in this case, Qiao Er's two sons had already come out with a rough idea, and the appearance of this guard at this time confirmed Qiao Er's thoughts.
Cao Pi turned his back to Qiao Er Iron Hammer and the others, seemed to take a deep breath at this time, turned to Qiao Er and said:
"There are some important things in the palace that I need to deal with, the two of you will go to the inn in Luoyang to rest for the time being, and I will arrange it."
Cao Pi turned to the adjutant behind him and said, "Ask someone to arrange for the captain to live first, and it must be arranged properly, and you must not be lazy."
The adjutant agreed loudly, Qiao Er, and the hammer also bowed down and thanked him.
subsequently
Cao Pi hurriedly mounted his horse and galloped all the way with the guards from the palace, disappearing at the end of the street.
At this time, the cold atmosphere in the city was too heavy, and people spoke unconsciously and quietly.
On the way to the inn, the shovel whispered to Qiao Er:
"Second brother, what's the situation, is it that Cao Cao's second brother has hung up."
When Qiao Er heard the hammer's words, he immediately put his finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture.
There are Cao Pi's personal guards in front of each other, this street is noisy and prosperous, it is daytime at this time, and the people on the street are still three or three twos, very rare, and most of them are errand officials, the eaves of the white silk hanging in the city are all over, and the city gate is closed, and no news is released. Compared to the city, it must be a serious abnormality in supervision.
It is estimated that the palace has not thought it through, otherwise there are two forces wrestling their wrists, and it will not be smooth sailing for Cao Pi to enter the palace at this time.
Qiao Er whispered to the hammer and said, "Don't be silent yet, go to the inn and talk about it."
When the two arrived at the inn, Cao Pi's personal guard explained before leaving: "Lord Captain, Zhonglang will explain that the city is not peaceful these days, if there is nothing important, don't walk around casually, and wait for the summons in the palace at any time."
Qiao Er and the two nodded in response, and hurriedly sent away Cao Pi's personal guards, in the room, the hammer directly smashed the backpack behind him on the wooden Eight Immortals table in the middle of the room, and said breathlessly:
"What does this mean, our brother died nine times below, and almost threw his life in the tomb several times, just to get the golden silk jade armor for the King of Wei, and now Cao Pi not only entered the palace with the jade armor to invite merit, but also put my two brothers under house arrest here, are you afraid that we will go out and say something?"
Qiao Er didn't get angry, just sat down by himself, slowly poured himself a glass of warm water, and took a sip.
This made the hammer even more anxious.
"Hey, I said second brother, don't you get angry, what does he mean by Cao Pi."
Qiao Er didn't look at the hammer, and said lightly:
"White silk is hung everywhere in this city, the city gate is closed, not allowed to enter, not allowed to go out, the secret letter urgently recruits Cao Pi into the palace, it must be a big thing, you and I still don't participate in it, just in this inn, live with peace of mind, and casually inquire about the news of the little junior sister, it's not bad."
As soon as Iron Hammer heard what Qiao Er said, he raised his eyebrows, and said with interest: "Yes, this city is indeed very strange, what can happen to you, suddenly Iron Hammer's body shook, Second Brother, will you have Cao Cao's old man."
Qiao Eryi covered the mouth of the hammer and made a silent gesture,
"Be careful, be careful, the partition wall has ears".
Hammer nodded vigorously.
At this time, Cao Pi read the secret letter as if he was struck by lightning, his father had died the day before yesterday, and he didn't wait for himself to come back with the golden silk jade armor, Cao Pi looked at the Nanmu box in his hand, and suddenly felt a sigh.
As the saying goes, time is also fate, which really makes people sigh at their own insignificance.
Cao Pi galloped on the horse, at this time Luoyang City suddenly rained, it was the day but the air was cloudy, Cao Pi tightened the reins, accelerated the speed, the horse's hooves trampled on the bluestone slab in the city, stirred up a splash, and it seems that a son misses his father for the end, is not to see the last regret.
Cao Pi rode into the palace in a hurry, even if he arrived at the inner palace, Cao Pi did not mean to get off the horse, and rode directly in, all the way to the outside of the palace.
Cao Pi rushed into the dormitory, a few Xiao Si still had to salute, a handful was pushed away by Cao Pi, the whole palace was hung with white silk everywhere, in the main hall of the dormitory, a large coffin of golden silk nanmu was in the center of the main hall, in the main hall is the younger brother Cao Zhi and the righteous brother Cao Qin, this Cao Qin is a righteous son of Cao Cao that year, and naturally Cao Pi's righteous brother.
Cao Pi slowly approached the main hall and watched the crowd around him kneel on the ground. But there are ghosts in it, how can Cao Pi not know the truth, the city gate is not allowed to enter and exit, he went out to get the jade armor, his father has been gone for a few days, and the people who informed him of his father's death have entered the city before they come out, there must be someone plotting against him.
Cao Pi's eyes stared at everyone present, as if he wanted to see through them.
Qiao Er, the two of them were in the inn, suddenly someone knocked on the door, the two of them looked at each other, and they both frowned, there is no familiar person in this Luoyang City, this has just settled, and the ass is not hot yet, who is so well-informed.
Qiao Er asked who it was, and the answer at the door was Xiao Si who sent hot water, it seemed that he was thinking too much, Qiao Er opened the door and asked Xiao Si to come in and put down the hot water, but this Xiao Si suddenly stuffed a note in Qiao Shuangzhong when he was leaving, and before Qiao Er could react, Xiao Si turned around and went out and closed the door.
When Qiao Er chased out, there was still someone at the door.
Qiao Er had to quickly open the note, which read:
"The Medicine King Valley will see you tonight"
Iron Hammer took a closer look: "Hey, it's someone from the Medicine King Valley, it seems that there are really many people who are worried about this Martial King Treasure, but did they forget to write the address, we know where to meet."
