Chapter Twenty-One: How Can the Bird Be Locked in a Cage?
The moonlight falls lightly, and the candle flame becomes a bean shadow for itself; The sound of the sake bottle is long, and the autumn heart is a touch of lovesickness.
Cao Zhi stood on top of the city gate of Anding, staring at the lights that were like a long dragon, without any joy. Yang Qiu surrendered and settled down. Cao Cao won the western expedition, and he also made great contributions, but for some reason he looked at the decadent city wall under the moonlight, and his heart was even more sad.
"Why is Childe here alone? The prime minister is rewarding the three armies, and the prince should be with the soldiers! "Yang Xiu didn't see Cao Zhi at the banquet, so he came out to look for him. I didn't expect Cao Zhi to stand alone on this city tower!
His eyes were slightly gloomy, and Cao Zhi said with emotion: "Dezu, I only knew about this good wine and good poetry in the past, but I didn't know that this war was so cruel!" The sword eyebrows tightened suddenly, overflowing with layers of sorrow, and the wanton firelight was incompatible with this supposedly peaceful city.
"Childe, where is the stability without sacrifice? Although the war is cruel, it relieves the people from fire and water, isn't that enough? Yang Xiudao.
"Relieve the people from fire and water?" Regarding Yang Xiu's words, Cao Zhi couldn't help but put a question mark in his heart. What he saw along the way was not the happiness and well-being of the people, but the refugees in rags and without food. From Luoyang to this stability, the tragic situation after the war is really chilling.
Looking at Cao Zhi's sad appearance, Yang Xiu added: "Childe, bloodshed and sacrifice are common things in war. With such a kind heart, how can he bear the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers in the future! ”
Cao Zhi looked back and looked at the serious Yang Xiu fixedly, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Childe, you can't have both fish and bear's paws. Whoever accomplishes great things will also be sacrificed. It is better to aspire to dominate the world and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world. At that time, Gongzi knew that at this time, those soldiers who were shrouded in horse leather were all dead as they deserved, although they were still honored! ”
Yang Xiu's words pulled Cao Zhi into a deep shock. After staring at his eyebrows for a long time, his heart was flooded with torrents.
Seeing that Cao Zhi was moved, Yang Xiu took the opportunity to persuade: "Son, if you want to achieve this ambition, you must first have the power to command the world. And whether you want to get this right or not, it's all up to Childe to decide! ”
"The right to command the world!" Cao Zhi muttered.
"That's right, that's it! Only then can Gongzi get the allegiance of tens of thousands of soldiers and the support of thousands of people! Yang Xiu said excitedly, "As long as the son is willing, Xiu will definitely take the lead in charging for the son, and he will never give up!" ”
Yang Xiu stretched out his sleeves and bent down suddenly. Seeing that Cao Zhi's heart was churning, "Dezu, what are you doing here?" Cao Zhi immediately helped Yang Xiu up and said in a deep voice, "I know what you mean, but let me think about it again." ”
Seeing that Cao Zhi still seemed to be hesitating, Yang Xiu said again: "Tomorrow, the prime minister will return to Junye City." This time the prince of the war is appreciated by the prime minister, and compared with other sons, he has already gained the upper hand. If the son has the heart to do this, it will be twice the result with half the effort! Son! ”
Gazing at it and recasting his gaze to the heavy firelight, Cao Zhi felt a sense of loss in his heart. I just want to get my father's affirmation with my own efforts and get the opportunity to be added to the knighthood. I have never had the idea of 'commanding the world'! Yang Xiu's words aroused his desire to touch the top authority.
Cao Zhi's forehead sighed darkly, his Adam's apple moved slightly, but he didn't know what to say, and then cast his eyes on the black and endless darkness in the distance, "Dezu, will we succeed?" ”
This question seemed to affirm his thoughts, and Yang Xiu was overjoyed in his heart, "As long as Gongzi wants to, Xiu will do his best to help Gongzi achieve the cause of the king!" ”
The pupils like night were gradually filled with a sense of coldness, staring at the vast world outside the city, Cao Zhi's heart suddenly set off layers of huge waves!
"Good!"
His eyes tightened, and he whispered a good word, binding Cao Zhi's heart to death. Maybe from this moment on, I can't go back to my old life, but I have to shoulder a bigger mission!
Yang Xiu smiled with relief, his bet for many years finally had hope, how could he not be happy. Whether it's for their own future, or for their own hatred.
The dark night is like a curtain pressing the sky, and the remnants of fire are like stars adorning the city; It is even more difficult to say the Nine Heavenly Ambitions, how can Honghu be locked in a cage.
*
In front of the Quliu square table, a handsome young man was raising his eyebrows, shaking his head and sighing at the small ball standing on the table! And the person on the side had a bitter gourd face, staring blankly into the distance in a daze!
"Hey~"
A sigh containing infinite sorrow made Cao Youning frown, and he squinted at someone beside him speechlessly, "Chai Xuan, what's wrong with you!" ”
Chai Xuan changed her hand and continued to support her face, turning her squeezed face towards Cao Youning, her brows tightened, "No, Cao Youning!" Hurry up and help me analyze it, how did it end up like this? ”
Glancing at Chai Xuan's bitter gourd face, Cao Youning smiled perfunctorily. Don't look over for a moment to put the ball away properly and put it back in the box. "Analyze what, analyze your bad idea? It's too substandard, isn't it? ”
Chai Xuan squinted her apricot eyes slightly, her squinted eyes were very disdainful Cao Youning, and the corners of her mouth turned back, "You have a level, then you should tell me, that Qi Liang'er obviously likes Guo Yang, so why does she refuse to admit and accept it?" ”
"That's because she doesn't have the courage to face her heart!" Cao Youning put his arms around and said quietly.
"Inside?" Chai Xuan tilted her neck, staring at Cao Youning very curiously, pricking up her ears and waiting for the following.
Looking at Chai Xuan's longing eyes, Cao Youning shook her head helplessly, "That's because she thinks that if she does that, she will be sorry for you, 'Brother Chai Hong'!" ”
"I'm sorry for me?" Chai Xuan was even more surprised, looking at Cao Youning with blank eyes, a little angry. Why can't this guy finish his words all at once, always hanging himself like this! You don't have to be so tsundere if you have a high IQ!
Chai Xuan pouted very unhappily, "Cao Youning, can you finish the words in one go!" Old half-sentence and half-sentence, can you not let me guess! ”
Cao Youning let out a long sigh, he had already said everything so directly, Chai Xuan hadn't understood it yet! rolled her eyes, and said helplessly: "Chai Xuan, then you have to find a way to make Qi Liang'er know what she thinks in her heart!" ”
"Oh~" Chai Xuan folded her arms and frowned, "Then do you have any ideas?" ”
Sure enough, I can't hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from fifteen! After turning around, I still have to solve this trivial matter for Chai Xuan by myself. Cao Youning pursed his lips unwillingly, "Chai Xuan, do you know what I do?" My brain is used to study the mysteries of celestial bodies, and studying this kind of thing every day will lower my IQ, you know! ”
Come and put yourself in gold again, isn't it just a high IQ, as for being so disdainful! Chai Xuan pursed the corners of her lips and snorted, "Yes, yes, you are a genius." Then let me ask the great genius, without me, will you go back? ”
The two repairers have to be activated at the same time to cross, which is Cao Youning's Achilles' heel!
"You are a threat, I will never give in!" Cao Youning turned his head away in a huff, as if he would rather die than give in.
The black line on Chai Xuan's forehead slipped, didn't he just let him come up with an idea, why did he make it like he was guillotined~
"Alas, pity my favorite pine nut corn and roasted sweet potatoes! It seems that I will not be able to eat you again in my life. There is also a crunchy ...... "In other words, this crunchy was invented by my dear, gentle, generous and beautiful mother." Although this thing once knocked out my brother's teeth, it is still very fragrant after improvement~
Chai Xuan pretended to be sad and sad, as if to show that if Cao Youning didn't help himself, he wouldn't return to modern times, and it was a big deal to 'one corpse and two lives' (one life for himself, one life for Cao Youning!). )
Cao Youning's face suddenly tightened, and the whole person instantly became nervous. dragged Chai Xuan, who was pretending to be sad, and her two eyebrows were twisted so that they were about to stand up! "Wait~ What do you say you like to eat?"
"Pine nut corn and roasted sweet potatoes!" Chai Xuan said weakly.
"No, the back one!" Cao Youning raised his voice and asked, stunned Chai Xuan. Isn't it just a food, could it be that this guy also likes to eat this thing? But how could he have eaten it?
"Crunch...... Chai Xuan silently shrunk her shoulders and took two steps back. Cao Youning, who has this expression, looks a little weird!
Cao Youning dragged Chai Xuan, who had been moved out, back, stared at her nervously, and continued to ask, "Then where is your ancestral home?" ”
Chai Xuan shrunk her neck and stared at Cao Youning in fear, completely unable to figure out what the situation was! "Luo Luoluo, Luoyang! What's wrong, what's wrong? ”
A pair of big hands on his shoulders finally fell off, and Chai Xuan let out a long breath. stared at the guy who was pacing to himself on the ground in confusion, and he consciously moved into the distance! I didn't expect this Cao Youning to look quite normal at times, but this onset of illness is really scary!
"Your surname is Chai, and you have an older brother named Chai Hong. My family lives in Luoyang, and I like to eat crispy ......" Cao Youning frowned tightly, and his face was pale!
Suddenly, a gaze shot over, and Chai Xuan's heels softened in fright, and she hurriedly held on to the cabinet next to her and trembled: "You're still here, I'm just letting you come up with an idea, so I won't kill it quickly!" Chai Xuan subconsciously touched her back, sweating wildly! Mom, it's already at the wall, there's no way back!
I saw Cao Youning rushing forward with an arrow step and grabbing Chai Xuan's arm. stared directly at Chai Xuan's eyes that had become copper bells, and asked: "Chai Xuan, are you blood type A, Sagittarius, a well-known actor." Your favorite book is Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and your favorite character is Zhao Yun. What's more, your least favorite thing to eat is stinky tofu with chili peppers! ”
Oh, ah? What!
"This fairy first emphasized slightly, I'm just a small stuntman actor, and I'm not well-known! Low-key low-key ~"
For the four words of 'well-known actor', Chai Xuan has been looking forward to it for a long time! As soon as I heard these four words, I felt fluttering, and the occupational disease was instantly exposed. He waved his hand very embarrassedly, a little shy.
And Cao Youning on the side is full of black lines, didn't this guy hear the point of the words, what the hell is this inexplicable explanation!
