Chapter 248: Le Jin captures the king, and Jiuyao escorts
During the day, Sima Yi suddenly sent a message to let Le Jin enter the house, indicating that he had something important to discuss with Le Jin. Although Le Jin also guessed seven or eight points about what it was, he was still a little surprised when this matter really came out of Sima Yi's mouth.
After entering the house, Sima Yi was not in a hurry to get down to business, and pointed to a table of food behind him and said to Le Jin, "I knew that General Le was coming, I specially prepared a table of food, and I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I asked my subordinates to make a little at will." General Wangle, don't dislike it. With that, he invited General Le to take a seat.
Le Jin didn't know how to refuse, so he had to take a seat first, and then said, "Where is Sima Junshi, it is you who promoted me Le." It's just that I don't know what Sima Junshi is talking about this time, if Sima Junshi doesn't say it in advance, I, Le, just ate this meal, and I don't have a taste in my heart. β
Sima Yi only cared about pouring him wine and food, and said, "Since it is a big event, we must talk about it after we have poured wine and eaten enough." Hungry, what are you talking about? Come on, come on, General Le, do one. Sima Yi said this, and then stuffed the wine glass into Le Jin's hand. Le Jin also knew that he couldn't talk to him, so he took the wine glass and drank with him.
After three rounds of drinking, after the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, Le Jin wanted to pour wine from a pot, but Sima Yi stretched out his hand to stop him.
"General Le," Sima Yi said as he took the wine glass and poured it into the Lejin cup, "I also know that General Le has followed Cao Cao since he was young, conquering the south and the north, and making great achievements!" β
Although Sima Yi drank a lot of wine and his face was flushed, his eyes were still bright and sober, "General Le is brave and loyal, it is really difficult for you to capture the old master this time." General Cola must know that whoever you follow, you are whose person. Isn't the one under us who is a civil and military general just a dog of the superior people? Don't be on the wrong side. Now that the master has something to ask for, in General Yile's opinion, should we help orβnot help?" Sima Yi's gaze looked at Le Jin's face in a daze.
"Naturally, it should be helped. Le Jin also knew that Sima Yi had said everything about this, and the rest of the words didn't have to be picked out clearly. Although it is difficult to capture the old master this time, what Sima Yi said is indeed the truth. Whoever works under him is who he should listen to. Le Jin picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in one go, and stood up, "Please rest assured, Sima Junshi, I, Le Mou, will definitely capture Gongzi Zhi and come back to see you!"
Le Jin led the troops to the palace, and he wanted to announce to the world that Cao Zhi was the opposite!
On the other side, another group of people were also rushing to the palace, and their purpose was exactly the opposite of Lejin.
This touching Jin Jiuyao was ordered by his master to go and protect Cao Cao.
Entering the palace, Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Jin Jiuyao, and this accident turned into a surprise after a while. After Jiuyao settled down, Cao Cao waved his hand, asked Qin Lang to talk to him alone, and persuaded others to retreat. Qin Lang entered the door after hearing this.
"It's been a long time since we've sat down and talked like this?" Cao Cao said, and a ray of light poured in through the crack in the window, shining on his face, reflecting the aging of this twilight man. Looking closely at this face, you can also feel Cao Cao's aura that is no longer than before. "Qin Lang, when I see you now, look in the mirror by myself, do you know what I think of?"
didn't wait for Qin Lang to answer, or Cao Cao didn't mean to expect Qin Lang to reply. Cao Cao quickly continued, "You are the god who is about to become, and I am just a mortal in the twilight of my life, my rotten body lives with a tired soul, just looking forward to black and white impermanence day after day to bring it back, this long journey, I also seem to finally see the end."
Qin Lang's eyes widened in surprise, he never thought that Cao Cao would say this to him. This is like the truth between old friends, appearing between the two of them, which is particularly ironic. Qin Lang didn't know what to say for a while, he just looked at Cao Cao in a daze.
"Lang'er, it's just that I still have one more thing that I can't let go, and I've been hanging in my heart. I need your help, and as long as I answer this matter, I will be at ease. The world is so big, and now you are the only one I can trust. This matter is not over, and I am afraid that I will still be worried when I get down there. Cao Cao said, took a sip of tea, and looked eagerly at Qin Lang.
"This..."Qin Lang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered another thing, remembering that Emperor Xie, who used to sit in front of him like this and begged him to save the world, save this dynasty that had run out of gas. Qin Lang pulled his train of thought back to Cao Cao, sighing that the world was impermanent, but the person in front of him, he really couldn't bear to refuse. Qin Lang sighed lightly and said, "But it's okay, if there's anything I can help you, I'll do my best." β
Hearing this, a trace of cunning slipped through the corners of Cao Cao's mouth, but in the end, it was twilight, and this cunning looked particularly ugly. In the final analysis, Cao Cao still has Qin Lang's kind heart!
Cao Cao spoke, "I don't want to see my brothers fight after I die. But now this situation... Rivalry is inevitable. But if there is a glimmer of hope, I hope you will keep Cao Zhi. I know it's easy to say, but it's hard to do, but it's my last wish, help me. β
Qin Lang was stunned for a moment, and instinctively wanted to refuse, "You really think highly of me, how can I, Qin Lang, have the ability to protect your Cao Cao's son!"
"You have!!" Cao Cao saw that Qin Lang didn't want to agree, so he became excited, and it took a long time to calm down and speak again, "Qin Lang, I don't want to threaten you with the grace of nurturing anymore." I know I've done a lot of things for you with this. I also know that I have tried to kill you again and again, how can you not hate me!"
Cao Cao paused again, spoke again, and his tone was also stained with a slight desolate taste, "But Qin Lang, this is the last time I beg you." There is no next time, and it is time for an old man like me to go. Can you bear to let me still be miserable and unable to close my eyes under the Yellow Spring? I beg you this time not as Cao Cao, but as an old man who is about to pass away. β
"I..." Cao Cao also took advantage of Qin Lang's point, Qin Lang smiled bitterly, "Okay, okay... That's what I promise you. β
Cao Cao listened to it and relieved the frowning brow that had been wrinkling.
The sky is calmly ushering in sunset, and the sun, which is about to disappear into the skyline, dyes the surrounding clouds red. The sky, half blue and half white, resembles the interweaving of water and fire.
