Chapter 43 The Storm Surges
Late at night, Cao Pi left Zhen Mi's room and lay alone on the couch.
I don't know what he thought, his expression changed, and he coughed.
"Childe is suffering from the cold, do you want to ask a doctor?" The waiter outside the door heard his voice and hurried forward to ask.
"It's okay, I'm going to sleep, you can step down." Cao Pi barely suppressed his cough and poured a glass of water.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the people outside leave.
One winter a few years ago, he occasionally felt a cold, and the illness came so quickly that he fell to the root of the disease, and when he was angry, he would cough up.
At that time, Cao Cao was on an expedition, and Mrs. Bian had younger children to take care of, and no one paid attention to Cao Pi.
Cao Pi originally planned to come to the doctor to come and see, but he thought about it for a while, and then decided to hide his identity and go out to see a doctor.
Unexpectedly, the doctor found out that this disease is not light, and I am afraid that it will be short-lived.
He was upright and young, he never thought that such a thing would happen to him, he was shocked and sad, but instead of falling, he decided to hide his illness.
Because, even if he has the ability, as long as Cao Cao knows this, then what position and what world has nothing to do with him.
It was also from that time that Cao Pi's mind became deeper and deeper.
At first, he just felt that Cao Chong threatened him, but now, because of Zhen Mi's matter, he paid attention to one person, and that person was Cao Zhi.
Yesterday in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Zhi showed Cao Cao the singing and singing with his literati and guests in the past few months.
Cao Cao praised: "Zhi'er's article has become more and more sophisticated, which shows that you have really worked hard since these days." ”
After that, Cao Cao turned to look at Cao Pi again: "And you, don't think that you can waste your studies with me, you are so ambitious, but you don't have real talent to learn." ”
Cao Pi hurriedly bowed his head in response, but his heart was in a mess.
His articles are not as good as Cao Zhi, his martial arts are not as good as Cao Zhang, his intelligence is not as good as Cao Chong, and in his father's eyes, he has nothing to do.
Cao Pi remembered Cao Cao's attitude towards them.
If he made a mistake, he must have been given a stern warning, and if Cao Zhang made a mistake, it might be a beating, but Cao Zhi and Cao Chong seemed to never make mistakes in the eyes of their father.
Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi.
Cao Pi's heart fluctuated.
The next day, he took out the grape wine he had made in the summer and went to Cao Zhi's mansion with the wine and his poems.
These are his treasures, but he endured the pain and went to his brother in person, hoping to get Cao Zhi's advice on poetry and writing.
"Second brother, your article is too plain, how can I see a little resentment between the lines?"
Cao Zhi was dissolute and uninhibited by nature, and the free and easy life of a scribe was vividly and exquisitely reflected in his body.
He just has one thing to say, but he misunderstood the meaning of Cao Pi's poem, he thought that the second brother was the same as himself, a good woman, but in fact, Cao Pi's resentment was not his resentment.
"What the fourth brother said is, I'm not here to ask you for advice."
Cao Pi smiled and said: "These jars of wine are given to you, my father will go on the expedition on the same day, and after a while, I will also be ordered to go to Jiangdong, and these will be wasted if you don't drink them." If you are free, you can also go to see Brother Chong for me and bring him some. ”
……
At the end of September, Cao Cao led his army south and camped in Jiangbei, while Jiangdong also formed a Sun-Liu alliance with Liu Bei to jointly defend against Cao's army.
Jiangdong general Zhou Yu served as the governor of the capital and was about to go to Xiakou to garrison.
At this time, he had only recently returned from the Baling front, and he had not stayed at home for a few more days, and he was about to leave again.
Xiao Qiao didn't want to be separated from Zhou Yu, so she begged Zhou Yu to take her there.
She took her maid out to buy necessities, but unexpectedly met a snitch and robbed her of her money.
The maid was in a hurry, shouting to catch the thief, and she couldn't help but be angry, and she didn't look at who the lady was, and anyone dared to rob her money.
Before Xiao Qiao could stop her, the voice was heard by Lingxi, who was eating in front of her.
Lingxi saw that it was Xiao Qiao, and saw that the thief was coming in her direction, and with a force, she pushed down the table in front of her, and the thief who was running in a hurry tripped and fell to the ground.
The man stood up, looked at Lingxi viciously, and pushed her away.
But because of Lingxi's obstruction, after a while, the officials who inspected rushed over.
"It turned out to be you, a girl, it's really fate." The maid saw that the money was back, and when she saw Lingxi again, she was happy.
Xiao Qiao gently thanked: "Thank you, girl." When we met that day, I didn't have time to ask the girl's name. ”
"Just call me Qiqiqi. I just want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get rid of them. ”
"Where is Miss Qiqi from, why don't you go home?" The maid saw that Lingxi was kind, and she was also an ordinary girl, and she didn't have the sense of distance that her own master had, so she couldn't help but say a few more words.
"I, I'm ......" and Lingxi was about to say when he suddenly felt dizzy.
"Seventy-seven girl! Seventy-seven girl! ”
When she woke up again, she found herself lying in a strange room.
There was a conversation coming from outside, but I couldn't make out what was being said.
Lingxi sat up slowly, feeling a little inexplicable.
I have always been in good health, but I was pushed by someone, how could I faint. She stretched out her arm to check her pulse, and was suddenly stunned.
Although his medical skills are still far behind, this is clearly pregnant!
Lingxi was a little uneasy.
At this time, Little Joe walked in.
"Qiqi, you fainted just now, I don't know where your home is, so I brought you back."
"Thank you, Little Joe."
"Are you pregnant?" Xiao Qiao asked tentatively: "Where did you come from, I trust my intuition, you are not a bad person, but ......"
"To be honest, I just found out that I was pregnant." Lingxi said: "I came by boat, and when Xinye was captured by Cao Cao, I got lost with my brothers and couldn't go back." ”
"You are?"
"I am the sister-in-law of Zhao Yun, a general under Liu Bei."
As soon as Lingxi finished speaking, Xiao Qiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's great." To tell you the truth, Zhou Lang heard that I brought you back, and he was angry that I brought a stranger. Do you know that now that Sun Liu has joined forces to fight against Cao Cao, he is very worried, worried that you are Cao Cao's person. ”
Sun Liu teamed up?
Lingxi was stunned, and she hurriedly asked, "Is there going to be a war, where is it?" ”
"In a few days, I will follow Zhou Lang to the front line Xiakou."
It's a red cliff, it's a red cliff! Lingxi could hardly believe it.
Fortunately, she told Xiao Qiao that she was from Liu Bei's side, but after hearing the news, Lingxi couldn't be stable anymore.
Because of this battle, Sun Quan and Liu Bei repelled Cao Cao's army of 800,000 with 50,000 or 60,000 troops.
Cao Cao suffered a great loss of vitality and was unable to attack south again for several years.
Now, she is friends with Liu Bei's brothers, and she has become friends with Xiao Qiao, with Cao Cao's enemies.
Lingxi barely stabilized himself, feeling guilty that he couldn't tell Xiao Qiao bluntly: "Xiao Qiao, can you take me away, I can get together with my relatives when I get to the front line." ”
"After Jiang Jin crossed, I haven't seen them, I can't go back to my home, and I don't have any enemies, those who chase after them may be sent by Cao Cao."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel sad.
I'm sorry Xiao Qiao, Lingxi is silently sorry in her heart.
She really hoped that she could find an opportunity to return to Cao Ying, return to Cao Cao's side, she thought that she would not be able to help but tell Cao Cao not to fall for the trick, even if he would be punished by God, she also wanted him to be well.
If she had known that this would be the case, she would never have left Cao Cao.
……
At the beginning of October, the sky by the river has begun to cool, and the surging river is boundless.
Early in the morning, Lingxi walked out of the camp tent and looked into the distance, but there was a thick fog on the river, and he couldn't see the front clearly.
"In a few days, Liu Bei's people will come." Lingxi didn't notice that there was a person standing behind him.
The man was majestic and extraordinary.
Zhou Yu saw that Lingxi didn't reply, and said: "Xiao Qiao said that you once made a harmony for my tune, and the girl is really amazing." ”
"Dudu, Qiqi doesn't dare to be."
She was calm and composed, but she admired Zhou Yu in her heart.
He really didn't look like Xiao Qiao, he didn't trust himself, and the people who mentioned Liu Bei in his words would come, and he was observing his demeanor.
Fortunately, his identity as Qiqi is not fake.
Zhou Yu smiled: "Why don't the beauties of the Allure City dare to show their true faces?" ”
"Qiqi doesn't understand what the governor means." Lingxi complained silently in his heart.
Cao Cao, Kong Ming, and Zhou Yu can't hide it from anyone.
"Let me guess, you are actually not Liu Bei's person, but Cao Cao's person?"
"It's true that I wore a mask, but it really has nothing to do with Cao Cao, the governor didn't say that they were coming, and it would not be too late to confront each other when the time came."
In the following days, Lingxi's residence was guarded until Zhuge Liang came to the camp.
