[51] Ambitious

The evening breeze poured in through the cracks in the coffin, bringing a chill, and I flinched for a moment, then looked up slightly, and when I looked up, it was a mass grave......

The mind that has been confused is immediately awakened by fright, mass graves? Do I really want to be in the company of these lonely ghosts?

I struggled violently, making a "thump" sound, and the two tomb robbers had just woken up, rolled their eyes, and fainted......

I think that after this time, they will definitely change their ways and never dare to steal for a living again...... Uh, especially stealing dead people's stuff.

God, for the sake of the little woman who saved these two lost lambs, save me......

I was startled when it suddenly went dark in front of me, and then the lid of the coffin was opened, and the cold wind poured in instantly, making my head much clearer all at once.

In the cold moonlight, I saw a man with a long figure appear like a savior.

"God?" My head was a little funny, and I opened my voice.

"Huh?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly.

What a familiar sound.

"Cao Cao?!" I opened my mouth wide, and my broken gong voice was even harsher, "You, you, you...... How did you know I was here? "Stuttering wasn't enough to show my consternation at this point.

"I'm just dropping by." Cao Cao looked at me and frowned slightly, "What's wrong with your voice?" ”

Way...... The corners of my mouth twitched a few times.

"I guess you should ask me why I'm more normal here......" It was weird, I was lying in a coffin talking to a man standing in a graveyard......

However, this scene is familiar.

I remember the last time I fell into the moat and was almost insulted by two yellow turban thieves, it was also him, dressed in bright purple and his eyes slightly narrowed. At this time, he is still like this.

"Dong Zhuo made enemies everywhere, and it is not surprising that you were secretly slaughtered." Cao Cao said lightly, "However, after you disappeared, Dong Zhuo almost destroyed the entire Luoyang City in order to find you. ”

Speaking of Dong Zhuo, I was silent, holding the coffin with both hands, and climbed out of the coffin.

I struggled to stand up on the wooden stake beside me, and under the silvery moonlight, the gray and black soil slipped from me, revealing a floor-length dress as pure white as snow.

Needless to say, this is Wang Yun's masterpiece.

"Your hand ......," Cao Cao frowned.

I subconsciously raised my hand, only to find that the tips of my fingers were a blur of flesh and blood, thinking that they had just been dug out of the coffin.

"Let's go." Avoiding the wound on my hand, he carried me on my horse.

"You're going to send me back to Luoyang?" Turning my face sideways, I asked as I looked at him with a wistful expression.

"There's a family surnamed Lu over there, and I'm going to borrow it for a night." Pointing ahead, he himself rolled over and shattered my hopes.

"How did you stop by here at such a late hour?" Leaning into his arms, I asked curiously.

"I failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, was chased by him, and escaped." Cao Cao said it easily, not at all like he was being hunted down.

"Assassinate Dong Zhuo?" The corners of my mouth twitched.

This identity position is a bit weird......

"Sleep for a while, I'll wake you up." Without answering my words, Cao Cao only said.

"No need." I laughed, "I'm afraid I'll sleep...... I couldn't wake up again...... "I was just trapped in that coffin, and for a long time, I thought I was going to sleep here forever."

Sleeping in this mass grave, no one knows of my existence.

The first time I found out, the little poisonous tongue is afraid of the dark, which makes sense.

"Then you can take a break, your voice is really terrible." He looked down at me, his narrow eyes faint.

Knowing how ugly my voice was, I shut up.

The surroundings were so unfamiliar that I couldn't recognize the direction at all, and after walking for a short time, I came out of the mass grave.

Under the moonlight, there was a sparkling wave not far away, and Cao Cao rode his horse in the direction of the river. After walking for a long time, I walked to the river when it was almost dawn.

"Let's take a sip of water." Cao Cao dismounted and scooped up the water and handed it to my lips.

I watched Cao Cao's rare thoughtful gesture in disbelief, and grinned to express my gratitude.

"It's ugly, and it's still laughing." Frowning, Cao Cao belittled me mercilessly.

"I'm going to wash my face." Not minding his nasty tone, I just grinned. Reach out and don't hit the smiling face, I firmly believe that.

"Willing to help." Carrying me off the horse, Cao Cao smiled and put it in my ear.

Rolling my eyes, I didn't struggle, because I really didn't even have the strength to dismount.

Kneeling on the shore, I bowed my head and drank water, and then I saw the reflection in the water, a striking scar on my face, pale like a ghost, and black blood stains spread from the corners of my mouth, which I thought was caused by poisoning. At first glance, it's really like a ghost...... What's more, I've just crawled out of the grave, so I'm really not a human being......

Thinking that Cao Cao dared to hug me just now and dare to speak against my face, I couldn't help but admire his very human courage and courage......

I don't know what kind of poison Diao Chan gave me, and I don't know how they thought I was dead, anyway, I came back from the ghost gate for some reason.

After thinking about it for a while, he turned around and found that Cao Cao didn't know where he had gone, and even his horse was gone. Could it be ...... Leave me alone and run away? Uh, I admired him just now......

In my daze, a pair of old hands suddenly grabbed my arm.

"Girl, girl, why can't you think about it......" the voice shouted.

I looked back in a daze and saw a kind old man.

The old man seemed to be taken aback when he saw my appearance clearly.

I turned around and bent down to wash the blood from the corners of my mouth, and then reluctantly washed the broken flesh from my fingertips, and stood up: "Old man......" I smiled, trying to make my appearance look kind, but the rough and low voice made me slightly embarrassed......

The old man smiled a little unnaturally.

"May I ask you, uncle, where is this?" With a gruff voice, I asked very politely.

If Cao Cao really abandons me, I will have to be self-reliant.

"This is a small village, the closest to here is Zhongmu County, why is the girl ......alone" The old man returned to his normal color, strangely authentic.

Zhongmu County? I don't have any idea in my head. Wang Yun, Wang Yun, in order not to be dug up my bones, you really tried your best......

"Uncle, is this far away from Luoyang?" After thinking about it, I asked again.

"It's at least three or four days away." The old man said, "But it's better not to go, Luoyang is in chaos." ”

I nodded and continued to ask, "Does the old man know something?" ”

"Alas, I heard that there is a Dong Taishi in the imperial court, which has caused anger and resentment, and not long ago, I hid it...... Well, someone went to assassinate him, but it didn't work, but he was instead drawn and searched and arrested. The old man shook his head and sighed.

I frowned, no matter what, I had to rush back to Luoyang first.

"Uncle, do you have a horse?" I asked, and I hurriedly touched my body, but there was not a single penny. Only then did I remember that this dress should have been put on by Wang Yun because he thought I was dead, and of course I wouldn't have any money.

Looking down at the reflection in the water with annoyance, he unexpectedly found a beautiful jasper hairpin on the bun, and two jade earrings on the earrings, which should be worth a lot of money.

I hurriedly raised my hand to pluck my hairpin and brought it to the old man with both hands.

The old man shook his head: "In the township, there are cows, where are there horses." ”

"Old man, let you go and collect some firewood, why is it so long."

I looked up and saw an old woman walking not far away.

"Wife, there's a girl here who asks about something." The old man turned around and said.

The old woman's face was full of ravines, and her cloudy eyes were shrewd. She stepped forward, looked me up and down, and then noticed the jasper hairpin in my hand.

Seeing that she had been watching, I hurriedly stretched out my hand and handed the hairpin to her: "Mother-in-law, can you sell me a set of old clothes, and let me rest at your house by the way?" ”

Her eyes were only staring at the jade hairpin, and the old woman's face was full of smiles: "Okay, no problem, girl, please." As she spoke, she took the jade hairpin and carefully hid it in her arms, not caring at all about my broken face and rough voice.

When they returned home, it was a broken grass hut, with vegetables planted in front of and behind the garden, and they could smell the curling fragrance from a distance, and the japonica rice porridge was boiling in the pot.

Smelling the scent, my stomach was so hungry.

The old woman tossed through the boxes and cabinets for a long time, and finally found a piece of clothing that pressed the bottom of the box.

"Girl, try it on." Shaking off the big red dress in my hand that was a little rough and compared it to me, the old woman smiled with wrinkles on her face, "This is what I wore when I was young when I got married, and I have been pressing it in the box and not willing to wear it." ”

I thanked him, stretched out my hand to take it, and went back to the room to change into the white dress, which was the funeral dress that Wang Yun had prepared for me. Although the dress didn't fit well and had a strange style, it was better than wearing the mortuary robe, and wearing it for a day made me feel a pimple in my heart for a day.

There were no mirrors in the room, and I grinned at the white headband that bound my long hair, and the wounded fingertips immediately caused a piercing pain.

Pulling my hair together, I walked out of the house.

"Girl, if you have coarse tea and light rice, let's eat together if you don't dislike it." The old man said with a smile.

At a glance, I saw a bowl of fragrant japonica rice porridge on the table, so I was not polite and sat down to eat. God knows, I was locked up in that inexplicable burial chamber, and I was already hungry with my chest against my back. If I stay sleepy, I will probably only have two ends, one will die of lack of oxygen, and the other will be starved to death.

In fact, in my opinion, the possibility of starvation is higher.

Rice porridge is something that this body often ate when I was a child in my memory, and for a long time, Dong Zhuo fed me with this.

"Mother-in-law, I don't need the clothes in the house, you can keep them and tear them to make rags." I hurriedly took a sip of porridge, and I was a little slurred.

The old woman nodded yes.

"Girl, I'm going to ask, the Wang family in the West Village has a horse, if you need it, I can help you borrow it." The old man said.

I was slightly stunned and nodded hurriedly: "Okay." "It is imperative that I return to Luoyang as soon as possible.

When the old woman heard this, she glanced at the old man.

I knew what she meant, so I took off the left earring with one hand and put it on the table: "This should be enough to pay for the horse." ”

The old woman hurriedly put down the bowl, and immediately changed her face again, and hurriedly urged the old man: "Go quickly, the girl seems to be in a hurry." ”

The old man shook his head in a hurry, put down the bowl and went out.

I didn't say anything, I just drank porridge silently.

"Apo, it's Apo, they've grown so tall." Outside the door, the old man's happy voice suddenly sounded.

Huh? I choked and coughed lightly.

"Uncle." A somewhat familiar voice came, "The little nephew is in some trouble, I wonder if I can take a break here?" ”

"Your father and I are sworn brothers, and I probably know something, your father has gotten the news and moved his family to Chenliu to avoid the limelight, so you can live here for the time being." The old man lowered his voice, "Now that the court is full of documents, arresting you everywhere, this place is very biased, and it is safe." ”

"Thank you, uncle." So saying, the two of them entered the house together.

With a bowl in my hand, I looked in amazement at the man who had come into the room.

Cao Cao?

It turns out that the family surnamed Lu he said is this family, and the road is really narrow. When he entered, he carried a fat rabbit that was still dripping blood.

When he saw me, he was also slightly startled, and his long eyes narrowed slightly.

"You know?" The old man was very surprised.

"Well, I know." Thin lips pursed slightly, Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Hehe, I don't know if the girl knows Ah Secret." The old man smiled and became closer and closer, "Old man, my name is Lu Bohao, and I am the sworn brother of his father. ”

"Say what, don't hurry up and eat, you can fill your stomach by talking, you all don't eat." The old woman frowned suddenly, and began to exclaim.

Uncle Lu had an embarrassed look on his face.

Cao Cao didn't mind, sat down next to me, served porridge and ate it.

"It's hard to come here, how can you do it without wine." Uncle Lu suddenly said again, "It just so happens that the girl wants to buy a horse, so I will go to the West Village and buy some wine by the way, and come back to drink it in the evening." So saying, when he saw that the old woman had no objection, he went out.

After eating, I went out of the house alone and stood in the yard to bask in the sun.

"I thought you were afraid that I would arrest you and threaten Dong Zhuo, so I slipped away." Cao Cao stood behind me at some point, "Why did you let me bump into it?" ”

"I thought you thought I was a burden, so you left me alone and sneaked away." Turning around, looking at those narrow eyes, I sneered at each other in a rough voice, "Coincidentally, I ran into you again." ”

"Well, yes, that's the plan." Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, suddenly stepped forward and took my hand.

Ten fingers connected to the heart, and the wound on the fingertip was grasped by him, and the pain was so painful that I almost pulled it out. I frowned, and was about to withdraw my hand, but I saw the ointment on his hand.

"Where's your fat rabbit?" Obediently let him help with the medicine, I remembered the hapless rabbit he carried through the door, and asked.

"I wanted to roast you rabbit meat to eat." Cao Cao shrugged his shoulders with a look of regret.

"It's the same with baking now." My bad root attack, the cravings came up again. It turns out that he left to hunt game.

"Sure enough, it's the same as what Feng Xiao said." Pursing his lips, he smiled.

"What's the same?" I wondered what Guo Jia said about me.

There was a hint of urgency in his long narrow eyes, and he said, "Just as greedy." ”

"That stinky scholar!" I gritted my teeth and asked, "Where is he, is he feeling better?" ”

"I've been worrying about it, and it's hard for my body to grow up." Cao Cao frowned slightly, "I just had something to ask him to do, so I let him stay in Luoyang, and it also saved him from following me around." ”

After taking the medicine, Cao Cao took a clean cloth and wrapped my hand tightly: "Actually, I'm still a little curious, what happened to you?" ”

"It's really strange that I can meet you here." I laughed, looked at him left and right, and saw a strangely dressed woman in red in Cao Cao's eyes.

"It's weird." Cao Cao nodded, "But your clothes are more strange......"

Shaking off my hand that was wrapped in the shape of a dumpling, I picked up the red dress that had faded a little, and said with a smile: "Is it stranger than a living person wearing a funeral suit?" ”

Cao Cao looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

As he spoke, a swarthy young man entered the door.

"Afu, why are you here?" When the man saw Cao Cao, he laughed and stepped forward.

"Brother Lu, I'm going to trouble you for the time being." Cao Cao also said with a smile.

"Who is this?" The man looked back at me and said strangely.

Cao Cao looked at me, as if wondering how to express my identity.

The man smiled ambiguously: "I know, I know." ”

I knew he was crooked, and I didn't bother to explain, anyway, out of this door, no one knew anyone.

"Girl's family, the most important thing is to live a life, and appearance is not the main issue." As he spoke, he added cleverly.

I glanced at him lightly, and he hurriedly shut up and went into the house.

Cao Cao laughed.

"Laughing at what? Can you still laugh in such a situation? "I didn't feel angry.

Cao Cao just looked at me and smiled: "Your eyes are still as interesting as ever." ”

I gave him a blank look: "It's imperative to think about how to save yourself." ”

"Why don't I take you to blackmail Dong Zhuo?" Cao Cao looked at me and touched his chin, "That's a good idea. ”

"yes, that's a great idea." Glancing at him, I spoke in a rough voice, "I just don't know how Lord Cao, who has always been shrewd, would take the liberty of making such a dangerous move as assassination?" ”

"Because, Dong Zhuo is a chaotic minister and thief, and there are people with lofty ideals in the world, and everyone will be punished." Cao Cao smiled, just looking at that expression, how could he be half serious.

But I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

"Dong Zhuo's approach is actually not so outrageous, what is cruelty in this troubled era, and how can he be the only one in the world who is cruel? He just fell for Wang Yun's scheme and became a fool who was targeted by everyone. Looking at me, Cao Cao suddenly said lightly.

I looked at it with some surprise, was he comforting me?

"Dong Zhuo is notorious, and there are as many people who want to kill him as the carp crossing the river, but no one dares to really do it, why?" He glanced at me lightly before he said, "Because although Lu Bu's blindness caused Dong Zhuo to lose a brave general, there were no less than 100 guards around him, and if you want to kill him, you will undoubtedly be sent to death." ”

"And why are you?" I was extremely curious about the psychological activities of this Xiaoxiong, who had assassinated Dong Zhuo in history, at this time, so I interviewed.

"Wang Yun came to me, he gave me a treasure knife, and wanted to kill Dong Zhuo with my hand."

"Would you be so obedient?" I doubt it.

"I have no room for opposition, if I object, it means that I have different intentions for the world of the Liu family, and I will not be moved by the national crisis, so I will be despised by the world." Cao Cao analyzed lightly, as if the one who was calculated was someone else.

"So?" Looking at him, I continued to work hard to dig a big exclusive.

"Wang Yun is very smart, he likes to take things step by step, but everything is like a double-edged sword, with its two sides. From another point of view, if I really assassinate Dong Zhuo, I am the teacher of justice, since the division is famous, those who claim to be heroes in the world will definitely be impressed by me. Looking at me, Cao Cao smiled slyly.

This man, in front of me, never seems to hide his city and ambitions.

I have never seen anyone who can even be treacherous, cunning, and cruel in such a calm and generous manner.

"But if you really plot to assassinate Dong Zhuo, the best outcome will only be to lose both sides and end up together. But I didn't want to die yet, so I just took the treasure knife to the Taishi's Mansion for a while, and then fled. His long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and Cao Cao laughed, like a fox, "Afraid of crime and absconding, Dong Zhuo will definitely be suspicious of me, and he will definitely order me to be arrested, and I will become a great hero who spares no effort to protect the Han family......" he said, a little intoxicated.

I looked at him, the corners of my mouth twitched slightly, it turned out that this was the truth......

"Wang Yun, at best, is just a minion." Cao Cao leaned against the tree in the courtyard beside him, facing the sun, his thin lips raised lightly, "A smart slave who is foolish and loyal to the royal family." ”

I was slightly stunned.

"And me." The bright purple robe carries a natural domineering spirit, which makes people dare not face it, "I want the world to return to my heart." He said so.

I know he's not bragging.

"The dog's eyes look at people's low things, but one day, the word Cao Cao will go down in history, and you will die without a place to be buried." Raising his lips slightly, Cao Cao looked at me, his long narrow eyes full of undisguised ambition.
