Dahan, Chang'an.

The battle of the Lord has been going on for half a month.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan looked solemn, staring at the lake as smooth as a bronze mirror.

Half a moon ago, the divine beast appeared from the lake, and it was a dark dragon turtle.

"Your Majesty can win, right?" Sun Quan asked in a low voice.

“…… May God bless my emperor. Liu Bei said euphemistically.

Sun Quan glanced at Liu Bei.

He has always felt that Liu Bei is slippery, but now he is not answering the question, and it is a hypocrite.

"Mengde, what do you think?" Sun Quan asked Cao Cao again.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao also answered the question.

"I'm more curious about another thing than Your Majesty's victory or defeat. You and I are all the Son of Heaven, why do divine beasts only fight with Your Majesty? Could it be that the way of heaven implies that you and I are not worthy of being the Son of Heaven after all? ”

When Sun Quan heard this, his face was solemn.

Liu Bei also had a trace of uneasiness on his face.

The three of them stayed by the lake, and the apparent reason was that as a close minister of the Han Emperor, of course they had the responsibility of guarding.

However, the three also have their own careful thoughts.

In case one of the three people can be chosen by the divine beast......

"Hehe, don't panic." Cao Cao laughed softly: "The divine beast that protected the country descended from the sky, and we have never established a country, so the divine beast naturally has nothing to do with us." ”

After saying that, the three of them were silent again.

Once, they were all loyal ministers of the Han Emperor Liu Xie.

But since the [Three Emperors Alliance], Liu Xie's suspicion and angry scolding have planted the seeds of restlessness in the hearts of the three of them.

Finally, Sun Quan was still young, and he couldn't hold back and said: "Your Majesty is in one day, and I will be loyal for one day!" If Your Majesty is gone, I will go back to the Jiangdong fiefdom to retire. ”

This is a statement.

In the Han Dynasty, he was only loyal to Liu Xie, the Han emperor.

Once Liu Xie died, whether it was a traitorous minister usurping the throne or a new emperor ascending the throne, Sun Quan would no longer be a courtier of the Han Dynasty.

After Sun Quan finished speaking, his eyes fell on Liu Bei.

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean?"

Liu Bei was born with a good appearance, extraordinary appearance, graceful bearing, and is known as the posture of a dragon and a phoenix.

heard Sun Quan call himself 'brother-in-law', but his cheeks twitched.

"I am the uncle of the Han Emperor, if Your Majesty is not there, I am willing to bear the burden of the Han family!" Liu Bei's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word was like iron.

"the world and eat Hanlu......" Cao Cao paused slightly, and said slowly: "If the destiny of heaven is in me, I am the king of Zhou Wen." ”

What does King Wen of Zhou mean?

It is not a rebellion, but the loyalty of serving Yin Shang all his life.

But whether the son rebelled or not, it has nothing to do with King Wen of Zhou.

While the three of them were talking, the lake suddenly gushed like boiling tea.

"Your Majesty!"

The three of them shouted in unison, and sure enough, a figure escaped from the lake in embarrassment and fell heavily into the mud by the lake.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was in a mess and barely stood up.

The twelve crowns on his head have long since disappeared, and his hair is scattered, without the appearance of an emperor.

The dragon robe on his body is still complete, but it is covered with muddy water and dirty.

"Hah...... Hahaha, I won, I finally won. ”

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty waved his hands excitedly, and his right hand clenched a golden long sword.

The First Emperor's Sword!

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan looked at each other, and then knelt down and bowed together: "Congratulations to my emperor and surrender the divine beast!" ”

"Three Aiqing, get up quickly." Liu Xie said excitedly: "Thanks to the three of you who found the First Emperor Sword, without this sword, I may not be able to win." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a black, irregular round object from his cuff, which turned out to be a turtle shell.

"Hah...... The beast seemed to be sleeping, retracting into its shell. Liu Xie said embarrassedly.

He originally wanted to show off and let the three cronies and ministers see the demeanor of the divine beast.

It's a pity that the divine beast doesn't seem to give him much face?

As soon as he was subdued, he immediately shrunk and hibernated.

"Three Aiqing, is there any news from Ming and Chu?" Liu Xie felt embarrassed, so he changed the topic and said: "Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Chu...... Xiang Chong? Did the two of them also succeed in subduing the divine beast like me? ”

Cao Cao replied: "The spies reported that Emperor Jiajing took only seven days to subdue the divine beast, and gave him the name Ming Vermilion Bird, announcing it to the world. ”

"Huh? In just seven days? Liu Xie looked disappointed. Emperor Jiajing is indeed the first person in the world. ”

When Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan heard this, they all sighed in their hearts.

The Son of Heaven is the first person in the world.

It's good for His Majesty to take the initiative to admit that he is inferior to the king of another country?

It is no wonder that the Han dynasty is in decline and the country is unstable.

Liu Xie didn't have so much thought, he felt that in front of his trusted ministers, he should speak freely.

He couldn't wait to ask, "How is the situation on the Chu State?" Speaking of which, my baby Changle is really hard, just a few days after getting married, why is he a widow? ”

Fan Li greeted Cao, Liu, and Sun in advance, and only said that Xiang Ning was forced to abdicate and was placed under house arrest by the Sanskrit Pure Land, but he could not tell the truth about her daughter's body.

"Chu Kingdom Divine Beast...... It seems that it has not appeared so far. Cao Cao frowned and said: "At least, the latest batch of spies reported that Emperor Xiang Chong of Chu was still in the court normally, and he had not started the [Battle of Claiming the Lord]. ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he looked disdainful: "Look, the usurper really doesn't have a good thing!" My good son-in-law is the true son of the Chu State, and the puppet emperor is not worthy of the Protector Beast at all. ”

When Cao, Liu, and Sun heard this, they inexplicably felt a heat in their cheeks.

Or Cao Cao coughed dryly and said: "Your Majesty, do you also learn from Emperor Jiajing and give names to divine beasts?" ”

"Name-giving?" Liu Xie was stunned for a few seconds, and then asked rhetorically: "Just call it a little turtle, is it okay?" ”

The three of them rolled their eyes in unison.

People are Ming Vermilion Birds, but we are little turtles?

It's just unseemly!

Liu Xie also seemed to feel inappropriate, and said embarrassedly: "Haha, Lord Sikong, I have been studying since I was a child, why don't I ask you to do it for me?" I have long heard that you are brilliant in writing, and you also pioneered the Jian'an Literary School? ”

“…… The ministers obeyed. ”

Cao Cao stared at the Han Emperor for a long time, and a feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart.

Once upon a time, he also wanted to throw his head and spill his blood, just to revive the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao sighed before he said, "The divine beast is still black, that is, Xuan." It comes from water, and the water is yin, and the yin is the underworld. In ancient times, Cangjie made words, and the dark and martial arts figured out. The minister suggested that the divine beast be named Xuanwu. ”

"Xuanwu?"

Liu Xie recited the name several times and was very satisfied.

"Little turtle turtle, will you be called Xuanwu in the future?" He said as he patted the tortoise shell.

Suddenly, Xuanwu seemed to wake up, and a small head poked out of his shell.

A pair of small round eyes, ignoring the Han Emperor Liu Xie, fell on Cao Cao, and then turned to Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

Everyone also stared at Xuanwu, as if they could see some kind of emotion on its face.

Confused?

Doubt?

Overwhelmed?

How could the divine beast have such an expression on its face?

Soon, Xuanwu retracted into the turtle shell, as if nothing had happened.

Liu Xie laughed, and said: "Cao Sikong, I should celebrate my subjugation of Xuanwu." Just work hard for you to write a Yuefu poem and present it tomorrow for me to enjoy? ”

"Minister, obey the order."

That night, Cao Cao returned to his Sikong Mansion, unfolded the rice paper in front of the bookcase, and put pen to ink.

"Although the turtle is long, there is still a time to ......"
