24. Hate is like grass

Zixuan walked closer, approached Cao Pi step by step, looked him in the eyes, and said without refusal, "Second son, I, Zhao Hongying, am a woman, I am standing in front of you now, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, knives, guns and sticks, Wen Taowu strategy, which one of you is comparable to the woman you look down on in front of you?"

I am twenty years old this year, I dare to lead troops to openly oppose the prime minister, and send troops for three months to take down seven or eight cities in one go, if it were you, can you do it? I'm not better than the second son's life, if you were born in an ordinary family, would you still stand here and talk to me? ”

As soon as Zixuan asked Cao Pi became angry, his hand was tightly clenched on the hilt of the sword, as if he was going to kill Zixuan at any time, Zixuan couldn't stop talking, "Second son, if you want to kill me, please do it quickly, you are the second son, it's easy to kill me, just give me a trumped-up charge, use my rotten life to exchange your future future, I think it's worth it." ”

After Zixuan finished speaking, Cao Pi still didn't sanitize the idea of killing Zixuan, "Among the several sons of Chengxiang, you are not the most favored, now Chengxiang believes in me very much, if you kill me, you are openly an enemy of Chengxiang, kill me or not, you decide for yourself." Cao Pi withdrew his sword and walked away.

It took a long time for Cao Zhi to come back to his senses, and the scene just now was a little surprised and exciting, "Zixuan, don't care, the second brother is like this." Zixuan smiled at Cao Pi's back as he left, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, and I lost Zijian." ”

Zixuan went to chase Cao Pi, but in the huge prime minister's mansion, there was soon no shadow, Zixuan saw a person shooting arrows, and leaned over, and the man even shot a few arrows and hit the bull's-eye, "Third son, good archery." Zixuan said.

Cao Zhang was also very surprised when he saw Zixuan coming, "Oh, how can Childe have time to come to me?" ”

"I happened to be passing by, let's take a look."

"You can shoot arrows too?" Looking up and down at this thin scholar, he had no strength when he looked at his arms thinly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to pull the bowstring, let alone shoot arrows.

"I understand a little bit."

"Oh, then please ask Childe for advice." Zixuan shot an arrow, right in the heart, "Okay, Childe, shoot well." ”

"Third son, can you shoot an arrow, is it closest to mine?"

"What's so hard about that?"

"Wait, if you can I give you this jade pendant, if you can't, then you lose me a good horse." Cao Zhang said confidently: "Okay, I won't lose, the jade pendant will be mine." ”

Cao Zhang's arrow was very close, a few centimeters apart, "Third son, you are doomed." Zixuan bent his bow and shot an arrow, which happened to be shot in the arrow just now, Cao Zhang was also very surprised, so he continued to discuss archery with him until dusk, "Third son, it's not too early, I'll retire first." ”

"Will you be free tomorrow? Let's go ahead and try it. ”

"Okay, Third Prince, don't forget my Maxima." "Okay, I'll keep my word." Zixuan was chatting with Cao Zhang all afternoon, but he always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him behind his back.

When I returned to the house at night, I saw Cao Cao, "Prime Minister." ”

"Why did you come back so late?"

"I tried to ride and shoot with the third son." Every night when Cao Cao came, Zixuan pinched a sweat for himself, this person doesn't know if men and women are kissed or not, lonely men and widows in the middle of the night, so they can only be careful themselves.

"Oh, you can still talk to each other"

"The Prime Minister didn't just come to me to ask this question, right?"

"I can't sleep, I want to talk to you."

"What does the prime minister want to talk about?"

"Since I begged Dong Zhuo and suppressed the Yellow Turban, in addition to Yuan Shu, breaking Lu Bu, destroying Yuan Shao, and setting Liu Biao, I wanted to level the world, as the prime minister, the nobility of the people and ministers has been extreme, what hope can I have? It's time to unload my armor and return to the field, and I hope that there will be such a person for me to finish my life after I leave. As he spoke, he grabbed Zixuan's hand, "Prime Minister." ”

Zixuan hurriedly retracted his hand, "There are groups of prime minister's wives and concubines, all of them are stunning beauties, like Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law Zou, Lu Bu's concubine Diao Chan, Yuan Shao's wife Liu, etc., how can the prime minister be lonely." ”

Zixuan changed the topic and didn't say what he meant clearly, but Cao Cao pressed step by step, "They just like status and treasure, and none of them are sincere?" ”

"The prime minister is always like this, I'd rather be responsible for the people of the world, and Hugh will let the people of the world bear me."

"yes."

"Prime Minister, Zi Xuan is determined to be in the high mountains, how can he spend the rest of his life in peace?"

"I'll give you time to think about it." Cao Cao left, and Zixuan sat weakly on the ground, "Oh my God, what should I do?" ”

Zixuan couldn't sleep this night, he couldn't sleep over and over, he didn't know how to deal with it, he just wanted to escape, he didn't want to stay here forever, and he didn't want to have anything to do with this gang of traitors, he had to leave as soon as possible, Cao Cao had the courage to endure humiliation and assassinate Dong Zhuo, and today Zixuan also has the courage to assassinate Cao Cao.

It was dawn, Zixuan came to the garden early to play the qin, the sky was drizzling, and the raindrops on the tile fell on the ground and made a crisp sound, Le Ting came to Zixuan, "Childe, it's not good." ”

"What's the flustered about?"

"The prime minister sent someone." After Zixuan went back, he found that the prime minister had sent a lot of things, "Girl, the prime minister sent someone to send you silk and satin, a pair of jade ruyi, five acres of fertile land, and a hundred taels of gold and silver, please accept it." ”

"Take it, I don't want anything."

"The prime minister said, if the girl wants to say no, then we will let go and leave, then we will leave."

"Leting, take a bath and change clothes." Zixuan changed into women's clothes, then changed into women's clothes, tied her long hair hanging down to her waist with a ribbon, simply tied her hair in a bun, inserted a butterfly hairpin, and the clothes she wore were also very elegant, never wearing brightly colored clothes.

After a while, he came to Cao Cao, "Meet the prime minister." "Why are you here?" "I came here to return the things sent by the prime minister." "What?" I saw Cao Cao limping away, "Prime Minister, your legs... ”

"It's nothing, it's an old problem."

"I have a way to cure it, I don't know if you can believe me or not."

"Let you try." Zixuan went back to the silver needle in the room and went to give Cao Cao the needle, and after a while, Cao Cao's leg didn't hurt, "Zixuan, thank you." ”

"The prime minister is polite."

"Let's go for a walk in the garden." Cao Cao took her hand and walked in the garden, "Prime Minister, this is not good. ”

"What's wrong? Shy. ”

"I'm afraid that the ladies will see it and trouble me." There was only a feeling of disgust, his hands were very rough, and holding her hand only felt uncomfortable and disgusting.

"I'm here." The prime minister watched it for a while, but he couldn't watch it for a lifetime. He understands Cao Cao's intentions very well, Cao Cao is a tiger, a wolf, and a traitor, but he is not a sentient person, so he doesn't know his plans.

I still seem to him to be useful, but what are my chips? Is it Ma Chao? No, if it were him, it would be impossible for Cao Cao not to mention this son, that was my talent? Cao Cao loves talent, no, my talent is not as good as Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others,

Besides, Cao Cao's reliance on his own strategy is enough, why should I participate? Unpredictable. The current situation is not in my favor, Cao Cao doesn't know what to do next, he must be careful to deal with it, and behind my back, there is always a pair of eyes staring at me, and I want to pull him out.

Paper can't contain the fire after all, the news that Zixuan is a woman quickly spread to the ears of other people in the mansion, and the prime minister's mansion didn't know when there was a woman named Hong'er, yes, it was Zhao Hongying, Zixuan.

Hong'er has caught Cao Pi in the past few days and will come out to practice swords in the early morning, she will watch from the sidelines, Cao Pi also saw him but the two never spoke, Cao Zhi also knew that Hong'er always went to see the second brother to practice swords, and when he saw Zixuan in the garden at noon today, he pulled Zixuan away, "Zijian, what are you going to do?" Zijian. ”

Cao Zhi ignored him, pulled him into his room, closed the door, and blocked the door, "Zijian, what's wrong?" and "Show you something." As he spoke, he took out a sword, "Look." She looked at it carefully, and he liked it very much, the sword holster was inscribed with patterns, and the sword was sharp.

Hong'er pulled out the sword and lightly swiped it on her fingers, her hand broke, blood flowed, and Zixuan said, "What a sharp sword." Seeing that she looked at the sword intently, she asked, "Do you like it?" ”

"Like, thank you, Zijian, how do you know I like swords?" Cao Zhi smiled, "You go to see the second brother practice swords every day, either you like him or you like his sword, or you have something to ask him, and it is unlikely that you like him or ask him for something, so I guess you will like the sword." ”

"Hahaha, the one who gave birth to me, the parents; Those who know me, Zi Jianye. ”

Gently stroking the sword and loving it, no matter how you look at it, you can't get enough of it, "Zijian, let me give it a name, let's call it Panying." "Zixuan is Zixuan, it will not change, no matter what her identity is, whether it is Hong'er or Zixuan is her, which also indicates Zixuan's determination to take revenge

"Good name."

Hong'er said half-jokingly, "Zijian, don't get too close to the sword, be careful of hurting yourself." Cao Zhi frowned, "Oh? ”

"I'm as sharp as this sword, get too close to me and be careful of getting hurt." Cao Zhi said disdainfully: "So what? ”

"A word of advice for you." Hong'er sighed unconsciously, as if laughing at his murder and arrogance, Cao Zhi continued: "I never listen to anyone's advice. ”

"That's because I'm overthinking."

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves away, and he also took the sword, and as he walked, he stopped at a bend in the corridor, drew his sword and stabbed at the man behind him, the sword stopped at his throat, "Say, who sent you?" I only heard one person kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, "Spare your life, I was just passing by, and I didn't follow you." ”

"Oh? I didn't say you followed me, aren't you not confessing to yourself? You say, if I bring you to the prime minister, who will the prime minister believe with my current position? Being frightened by Hong'er like this, the man recruited everything, "Don't, I say, I'll say anything." ”

laughed softly, and really couldn't help but be scared, "Those who know the times are Junjie." ”

Listen to the man slowly, "The villain is the second son's person, and the second son asked me to follow you." ”

"Oh, so you should know what to say and what not to say, so what did you see today?"

"The villain didn't see anything."

"Okay, let's go." Hong'er thought about it and ran into Cao Zhang, "Third son." ”

"Oh, Zixuan, no, Miss Hong'er, go and see your horse." Zixuan took the horse back and put it in the stable, and practiced riding for the next few days, but Zijian did not come for a few days, and the prime minister did not come.

It was raining, Zixuan danced his sword in the rain, chanting while dancing, 'Dark clouds cover the moon, there are no traces, and it is silent.'

The rain hits the bamboo, the tiles drop raindrops, and it is desolate.

The swords were connected, the flags fell, and they were defeated.

At the beginning of the moonlight, the light clouds are like wisps, draw the sword, and dance in the rain.

The pale light galloped, penetrated the throat, closed the eyes, and entered the clouds like smoke.

In the middle of the night, the clouds opened, the rain stopped, and the dawn went. ’

Zi Xuan remembered the night many years ago, the night when the family was ruined, Zi Xuan made up his mind that he must take revenge, even if he died together.
