Cao Zhi's fief was called Juancheng, which is today's Juancheng County in Heze, Shandong, and such a geographical location in Heze should be regarded as a "frontier" during the Three Kingdoms period. Cao Zhigui was a royal family, but he was divided into a small county town, which shows that he was really unpopular at that time.

In this vast journey from the capital to Juancheng, Luoshui is a must-pass place.

Luohe, known as Luoshui in ancient times, is an important tributary on the right bank of the Yellow River. Now when we mention the Luo River, it is estimated that many people do not know much, the rivers of the Central Plains are intertwined, compared with the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the small Luo River does seem much smaller. But those who know history will know that the Luo River is an important part of the long history of Chinese civilization, and the area centered on the confluence of the Yellow River is called the "Heluo area", where human civilization has a long history.

At this time, "Luo Shen Fu" was still in Cao Zhi's womb, so he didn't know what he would encounter on the bank of the Luoshui River, but I was different, I had already made a plan in my heart, and I knew that Luo Shen would dance in the mist next to Luoshui. Luo Shen is said to be Concubine Mi, the daughter of Fuxi, and according to legend, she came to the world from heaven because she was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Luo River. Of course, there is no way to verify the truth of this legend.

The reason why I came to this painting realm is nothing more than to have a glimpse of Luoshen's fairy face, and other things are very boring, so I was a little impatient when I saw Cao Zhi's convoy moving slowly and lazily.

"Your Highness, how far is it from the Luo River?" I asked

Cao Zhi was a drunkard, and he was already a little drunk at this time, his face was ruddy, his eyes were scattered, and he was lying on his side on the carriage. "First...... What do you say, sir? Luo ...... Water? ”

"Mr. Liu, it's less than five miles away from Luoshui." When the attendants on both sides saw that their master was already like this, their faces were bitter. "Sir, our Highness doesn't love anything in his life, he loves to drink and write poetry, and he gets drunk every day......"

I thought to myself, though the painter told me not to talk nonsense, not to change the course of the story. But I can't overdo it now.

"Your Highness, do you know that there is a stunning fairy living on the shore of the Luo River? The beauty of his appearance is difficult to find in ancient and modern times. I pretended to be casual and asked Cao Zhi.

"Fairy? Hahaha. Cao Zhi laughed openly, without the appearance of a prince. Unexpectedly, Mr. is still a lustful person, and it seems that there is no woman in the Central Plains to satisfy Mr. Appetite, and Mr. has set his sights on the ethereal myth. ”

I laughed twice and then answered. "Your Highness doesn't know anything, but you just appreciate beautiful things, but you never want to take them for yourself."

"Really?" Cao Zhi finally sobered up a little. "I wouldn't believe it if others said that, but Mr. is brilliant and profound, and it is reasonable for him to have such thoughts."

At this time, it was early spring, and everyone was drowsy at noon, and Cao Zhi yawned a few times.

"The strength of the wine and the scorching heat really make me sleepy and tired, why don't you tell me about the fairy?" Cao Zhi laughed. "To tell you the truth, sir, Zijian has appreciated countless beauties in his life, and when Yecheng Town guarded Tongque Terrace, all of them were peerless beauties, and the general appearance really couldn't be eye-catching?"

"Have you ever heard of the legend of Roselle?" I asked directly. "The fairy who is immersed in the Luo River and lingers."

Cao Zhi smiled slightly, very disapproving. "Sir, I've heard this story, but it's just a legend."

"Your Highness, how about we make a bet? Just bet on nine pots of Du Kang wine and an impromptu poem, I said that at this moment Luo Shen is by the Luo water, if she is really there, His Royal Highness will lose, if not, I will lose, this is good? "I know that Cao Zhi likes to have fun in his life, and he will never refuse this kind of gamble.

Sure enough, Cao Zhi loves to drink and compose poems, and this game makes him very happy. "Wonderful! The gentleman really knows how to have fun, so he does what the gentleman says. ”

"All of you listen, hurry up, I'm going to get to Luohe at once."

When the convoy, which was still listless just now, heard Cao Zhi's order, they all cheered up, raised their long whips, and ran towards the east.

The sound of horses' hooves and the slow sound of the water are suddenly intertwined at one point.

Luohe is already in front of me, in fact, I have expected it, and it is the realm in the painting, and the scene must be slightly different from the real world.

But I didn't expect the Luo River in the painting to be so unusual, this stretching riverbank, the back is exquisite, there is still a faint white makeup on the grass blades, the water waves are crystal clear, and the green wattles are floating algae, which can be seen through at a glance. The water vapor rises and stretches as far as the eye can see. On the other side of the river, the peach blossoms are red, the yellow leaves are flying, the shore is Zhi Tinglan, and the fragrant breeze is blowing across the bank.

There is not only snow, but also spring peaches, as well as falling flowers and summer green.

This is obviously a deep process on the part of the painter, and I don't believe that the Luo River will be so prosperous when the snow first melts, which almost encompasses the beauty of all seasons of the year. This Gu Kaizhi is also too greedy, and he doesn't let go of any of the beauty of the four seasons.

"Haha, Luohe we have arrived, where is the Luoshen in your mouth, sir?" Cao Zhi didn't seem to be interested in the scenery at all, he only thought about me and his bet.

I looked around the riverbank, and there were sparse people on the other side of the river, except for a few fishermen who could faintly see a few fishermen moving their boats near the water.

This seems to be different from the "Luo Shen Fu" I know, it is clearly written in the Fu that Cao Zhi arrived at the Luo River and saw Luo Shen on the other side.

"Let's wait, she'll show up in a moment." I argued. "Your Highness, we can rest in the shade of the tree for a while, and wait for her by the way."

"Okay, but sir, it's not a way for me to keep waiting, it's limited to one hour, and when the time comes, if Luo Shen doesn't show up again, you can raise a glass and punish yourself." After Cao Zhi finished speaking, he lay in the shade without any scruples.

His attendants also realized that the nine pots of elixir had already been placed, and the others were standing on both sides, silent, waiting to see who would win or lose between me and Cao Zhi.

The lake was surprisingly quiet, not moving at all, and the breeze was blowing, and she couldn't lift half an inch of her skirt.

"Sir, an hour has passed, let alone Roselle, I haven't even seen the shadow of an ordinary woman." Cao Zhi laughed helplessly. "I understand, sir, you're deliberately cheating on drinking, aren't you? In that case, let's get started. Zijian is looking forward to Mr. Masterpiece. ”

I depressedly picked up the wine jug, ready to drink it all, drinking and writing poems is not difficult, a big deal will be a moment to choose from the famous poems of later generations, but I didn't see the true face of Luoshen, what is the meaning of my journey in the painting?

"The rewards are staggered, and there is no way to laugh and laugh. So the drinkers were drunk and noisy. Cao Zhi felt that he had won and sang proudly.

The wine is on the lips, and the crisp sweetness is already half in the heart.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a harp on the water.
