Chapter 21 Replacement of Identity
(Thanks to the monthly passes of "Yaya Tina" and "Leistly129", at the end of the month, everyone's support will be taken out)
There was a trace of depression in the air around him, and the originally cool night seemed to be full of restless shadows. There are more and more torches, and the people of Caojia Village seem to be gathering here. They whispered and looked at us strangers, all of whom were amazed at why the fat man's father would put a knife on the fat man's neck.
The pressure was completely concentrated on me and the fat man, and we were all silent, cold sweat constantly pouring out of our foreheads. Zhuge Xuan ran over and stretched out his hand to support me, and I slowly walked towards the fat man, and asked his father and mother behind him, "What's the matter?" ”
No one answered me, but the fat father and mother looked at me differently.
"Yuan Long, the purpose of your coming here today is not just to kill that person." Old Man Cao said suddenly, and then looked at the peanuts. "You haven't changed, you're as smart as ever, you can kill him quietly if you want, but you've exposed yourself, for what? Because you're already planning to get things to the ground. ”
Ah Cheng smiled slightly, "Since you have reacted, then we will end the matter as soon as possible." ”
Old Man Cao walked up to Ah Cheng, his brows furrowed slightly, "Yuan Long, you are crazy." ”
"Crazy?" Ah Cheng said coldly, "Isn't the world we live in crazy enough? All this should have died a long time ago, but. Our family is still trapped inside, and we will never be able to live like normal people. I've had enough of it for a long time, and now it's. Give me this opportunity, how can I not take advantage of it. ”
"What the hell do you want to do?" Old Man Cao asked.
Ah Cheng's expression was indifferent, "Our previous plan was bold enough, but now, when I have the memory of the king, I understand that it will go on like this." The odds of success are slim. So, I'm going to be a little more direct. ”
Old Man Cao stretched out his hand and pointed at Ah Cheng, "You." Going to kill us all, huh? ”
Ah Cheng looked up at the night sky, "How big is the scope of Da Luo's feng shui control, and it has to be manipulated for such a long history." How many families are needed. I'm afraid I can't be busy alone, so I need some help, and the Cao family is the most suitable. ”
"Haha" Old Man Cao suddenly laughed loudly, but I could hear that he was not laughing happily at all. "Yuan Long, what did you say back then. Now, you're asking us to help you kill someone? You are crazy. I kind of understand why I would choose you to be king. It's not giving you anything, it's driving you crazy. ”
As he spoke, Old Man Cao's voice was a little choked. "Do you know how much our Cao family paid for your plan back then? Actually, we old guys don't care, it's just what they should do. "Old Man Cao looked at me, and then at the fat man." How good you said at the beginning, now, you actually want to ruin all this with your own hands, it seems that our Cao family is determined to lose this loss. ”
"What the hell is going on?" I asked, "What the hell are you talking about?" ”
"Yuan Jie" Old Man Cao suddenly said, "How old are you this year?" ”
"225 is coming," I replied stunned.
Old Man Cao nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, Yuan Long should be 57 years old this year, right?" Old Man Cao looked at Ah Cheng, but Ah Cheng did not answer.
"Ah Jin" Old Man Cao looked at the fat man again, "How old are you this year?" ”
"I, I'm 31, male, why are you asking this?" The fat man squeaks and squeaks.
Suddenly, I felt that the fat man was speaking insincerely. At this moment, Old Man Cao's sudden mention of our age made me have a very frightening guess, and if I guessed everything, the fat man probably wouldn't be unexpected.
"At that time, everyone's life trajectory was similar, although Yuan Long was a tomb robber, but in name, he was just an ordinary person." Old Man Cao said, "Yuan Jie, have you ever thought about why your father had to wait until he was 32 years old to give birth to you?" ”
I swallowed my saliva and grabbed Zhuge Xuan tightly with my right hand. Sensing my nervousness, Zhuge Xuan also dragged me in and gently patted me on the back with his other hand.
I looked at Old Man Cao and said, "This, what's so strange about this, it's normal" The momentum of my speech was already very weak.
"If you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to check, you will see that when Yuan Long registered his marriage, he was 25 years old, which is exactly your current age. It took seven years for you to be born, for what? Old Man Cao said.
"Because I'm not Daddy's flesh and blood." I said.
Old Man Cao was slightly surprised, "Do you know this?" ”
"Hmm." I nodded, and suddenly sighed in my heart, "It's not a secret to me anymore, I know everything." ”
"That's not right." Peanut said lightly, "There is one more thing I don't know, whose descendant are you?" "The question of peanuts scares me, but I'm deliberately avoiding it now.
The fat man didn't know when the Dao began, and he was completely silent. He squinted and kept staring at Old Man Cao.
I suddenly remembered a lot of things, remembering that Daddy had asked Qin Feng to save the fat man in a very difficult situation. It was still at the tomb of King Yelang, not long after the two of them met. I also remembered the first time I saw the fat man, he told me that he was going to the tomb of King Yelang with my father, and on the way, my father was very indifferent to everyone, but he took the initiative to talk to the fat man. Also, there are many, many traces of the smiling face of Daddy when he said that he wanted to let the fat man join the gang.
My heart twitched
Now that I think about it, Old Man Cao suddenly fell from the sky and took the initiative to take over for me, as well as the eyes of him and the fat man's father and mother looking at me
The long-lost pain in the brain came again. I looked at the old man Cao in front of me, gradually. also became the same as the fat man, silent.
Old Man Cao slowly took two steps towards me, "I remember." When you were born, your father said that you were very handsome, and you must be the best among people in the future. So I gave you a name, Jay. At that time, your mother cried to death, because she knew that in two days, she would take you to another place. Then. There is also a little doll in the village, named Ah Jin, who is six years old. You were born in the village and only stayed for three days. You two haven't even met each other. But when you were born. Ah Jin had a strange illness, he was bedridden, and we didn't find out the cause at first, but the next night we saw that his right hand was in addition to the problem. A sixth finger began to grow on his right hand. I know that if we leave it alone, there will be loopholes in our plans. So, while Ah Jin was groggy. We broke his right hand, and. I found the other hand and attached it the same way I used your finger to pick it up. I thought everything would be fine. But now that I think about it, it seems to be a void. Our Cao family used one of their most precious descendants to exchange for a dream. ”
"Impossible, impossible," the fat man said, shaking his head, sweat pouring down his head like rain.
I felt a corona, but fortunately, Qin Feng and Zhuge Xuan held me up.
"You actually want to change your life against the sky" Peanut smiled bitterly for a while, looking at Ah Cheng, "No wonder you dare to plan those things, it turns out that you have been prepared for a long time." ”
"The dog jumped over the wall." Ah Cheng said, "The reason why our family has been trapped in the overall situation is because we are biased towards the view of the door and are afraid that the interests of our family will be damaged. After seeing that ship, I knew that the next child of the Cao family would be very special. So, from that moment on, I had everything ready. At that time, there was only one person who had doubts about me, and that person was the grandfather of the Liu family, Liu Jinsun. I don't know how he found out, so I can only find a way to get rid of him, but Liu Jinsun is too powerful, not only did he not die, but he also seemed to leave some clues for the Liu family. ”
I remembered the words on the letter, and it turned out that there was really a reason why the second stunned son betrayed Daddy. It's just that Daddy can't know now, Liu Jinsun has actually been on the boat. But there are not many cases where Liu Jin Sun knows Lu Dao, he saw Daddy go to a place at that time, which should be Caojia Village, but Liu Jinsun doesn't know what Daddy Lu Dao is doing in Caojia Village. If Liu Jinsun had known a little more at that time, I am afraid that I would have known all this in the tomb of King Yelang.
At this time, Qin Feng couldn't help but ask, "What's so special about the master?" ”
Ah Cheng paused, looked at me and said, "He can guide us to some special places, and as long as he is there, those places will even take the initiative to summon us in." This is true of the Tomb of King Yelang, and so is the Forbidden City of Phantom Snow. But these are meaningless to the Cao family, so I thought, if he can stay in our Yuan family, how good it would be, we can know more things about the Dao, and the possibility of destroying Da Luo's feng shui is higher. Similarly, as long as there is a loophole in the Da Luo Feng Shui Bureau, what is pressed on the Cao family will be automatically lifted. We will be truly free. ”
"In other words, the master is actually a child of the Cao family, and he is fat, Cao and Cao Jin are" Qin Feng seemed to feel that he was a little messy.
Ah Cheng, or Ah Daddy, raised his eyes to look at the trembling fat man, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, Ah Jin of the Cao family is my son." ”
"Nonsense!" The fat man jumped up suddenly, if it weren't for the Cao family around him, he would definitely rush up.
I'm completely at a loss now, and my heart says how can this be, is it really so strange and so coincidental? If Daddy and the Cao family's plan was premeditated at the beginning, then what about my encounter with the fat man later?
Oh my God, I never imagined that my identity would be 180 degrees, and I would have been replaced by a fat man.
My surname is Cao.
Finally, I understood why when I faced Ah Cheng and was in danger, the Cao family would suddenly put a knife on the fat man's neck. They're threatening Daddy. The Cao family has been suppressed by the Daluo Feng Shui Bureau for generations, and they can't breathe at all. It's just that the fat man is mixed up outside, and there is a reason for this.
But there is one question that I do not understand. Since Daddy knows that I have considerable use value, if it is successful, both the Yuan family and the Cao family can benefit. The two sides also reached a consensus. So why do you have to exchange? The Yuan family can take me to the house to raise me, and there is no need to do so many things.
When I was helpless, I reflexively looked at the peanuts. Peanut is also in a very strange situation now, and after figuring out the trickiness, I don't know what he thinks in his heart. He's a peanut, though, and he should soon understand. I must be filled with such questions right now.
Compared to the fat man, I am still a little better, at least I already knew that I was not the Yuan family before. At that time, the fat man comforted me. And now, can I comfort the fat man?
The most difficult question was then raised by Qin Feng, who had been thinking hard there, "But, why do you want to exchange children for Lu?" There are many ways to do it."
Peanut interrupted Qin Feng and said, "That's because of the Cao family and the Yuan family. There are deeper roots. ”
These words calmed down the fat man a little. The fat man is not me. It's a lot better after a frenzy, at least he won't be angry with himself.
Immediately afterwards, Peanut said the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, and what Zhuge Xuan told me during the day. But his tone was different, and Peanut said it with great certainty, as if everything was what he had seen with his own eyes.
Presumably mentioning the Three Kingdoms again, mentioning Cao Cao. It's not hard to imagine which character Peanut will talk about next. In fact, since the Phantom Snow Forbidden City, I have begun to gradually accept these things. But I don't know that the way is a rebellious mentality. Or the credibility of these things themselves, even if they come out of Peanut's mouth, I don't feel like they should be true.
In the first year of Jian'an, that is, in 196 AD, Cao Cao conquered the Quartet with the Son of Heaven and occupied Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and part of Yuzhou. The strength is strong, and the soldiers are thriving. But in the north, there was a more powerful military group than Cao Cao, that is, the clan landlord group represented by Yuan Shao.
At that time, Yuan Shao had already occupied Youzhou, Qingzhou, Yizhou, Bingzhou, and Hebei. In terms of strength, Yuan Shao was undoubtedly the strongest prince at that time. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao both had the intention of annexing the world, and the two could never be compatible.
So in the fifth year of Jian'an, in 200 AD, the Cao and Yuan families finally kicked off the prelude to the Battle of Guandu. This war is all too familiar to everyone, Cao Cao won more with less, defeated Yuan Shao, and the Yuan family has been in a slump since then, and finally lost in the Three Kingdoms period when the heroes competed for hegemony.
What Peanut wants to say is not these, but about the reasons for Yuan Shao's failure. Many historians, whether they are ordinary people, dare not compliment Yuan Shao. Most people think that Yuan Shao is a person who is rigid and self-serving, has a small amount of energy, is indecisive, and does not know how to use people. However, history does not sympathize with the loser, and once a historical figure fails, then all his shortcomings will be magnified. If Yuan Shao is really useless, how can he dominate the four continents and look at the world?
Therefore, we should understand that Yuan Shao is actually a capable person, but in the Guandu War, he made too many fatal mistakes. Of course, it's impossible not to make mistakes in a war. But the strange thing is that all these mistakes he made were caught by Cao Cao.
Yes, Cao Cao was a military strategist, even a great military strategist, but under the circumstances at that time, he was able to catch Yuan Shao's mistakes repeatedly and give a fatal blow. Is it really all what history has written?
Peanut thinks no, the process he's talking about is completely beyond the scope of historical records, and like a monster novel, I can't describe it. However, his central idea is the same as the things we saw in the Forbidden City of Phantom Snow that recorded the secrets of the dispute between Chu and Han, and he said that some families were in the way, quietly eroding Yuan Shao's advantage, and finally making Cao Cao win.
In other words, the reason why Yuan Shao failed in the battle of Guandu was because of the result under the control of Daluo Feng Shui. This also means that before the Battle of Chibi, the fortune in Da Luo's feng shui was towards Cao Cao, or the Cao family. But then what changed?
"After the defeat of the Yuan family, the family gradually split, although they wanted to take revenge, but helplessly, Cao Cao's power became bigger and bigger, and a frontal military battle was no longer possible, so in a branch of the Yuan family, there were people who wanted to restrain Cao Cao from the feng shui fortune." Peanut said, "At that time, in order to expand military spending, Cao Cao had already established the position of Captain of the Golden School, in addition to obtaining wealth, Cao Cao also knew a lot of historical secrets after years of going to the tomb. Coincidentally, from that time onwards, Cao Cao's head wind began to appear"
Peanut's next sentence made my hairs stand on end.
"Every time he had a head wind, Cao Cao would see some white shadows floating above his head."
Subconsciously, I glanced at the top of my head and wondered how could this be.
After Qin Feng digested it for a while, he said: "Peanut, do you mean the fat man, oh no, the Cao family is the descendant of Cao Cao, and the Yuan family is the descendant of Yuan Shao?" ”
Peanut didn't answer, but what he had just said said it all for.
Qin Feng continued: "In other words, the Cao family and the Yuan family are feuding? ”
"It's more terrible than a feud, because both families exist in Da Luo Feng Shui, and they are the families chosen by the overall situation. The Yuan family spared no expense, and would rather lose the family's thousand-year-old fortune than make the Cao family unhappy, and this resentment has not been dispersed until today. ”
I asked in a low voice, "In other words, what happened to the Cao family now is actually caused by the Yuan family?" ”
Peanut shook his head, "Not exactly, more importantly, the overall situation doesn't want the Cao family to prosper." As he spoke, Peanut looked at me again, "If you are a descendant of the Cao family, then, judging from your situation, the Cao family may have the ability to detach from the overall situation, and that strength is in you." ”
I couldn't help but feel a little helpless in my heart, and it was this indescribable thing, I just learned a lot of truths, but another layer of secret pressed on me.
"Therefore, it is very difficult for the Cao family and the Yuan family to cooperate." Peanut continued, "For this, there are two women who must die. ”
Hearing this, the fat man and I both raised our heads. (To be continued......)
