After Lu Bu and the others killed Cao Poshi, they immediately returned to Hanoi, and Jian Yong returned to Luoyang day and night.

Compared to the stagecoach, it is a step slower.

By the time he returned to Pima Luoyang, the news of Cao Poshi's death had already spread throughout Luoyang City.

If a person dies and can cause a sensation in a city, this person can be regarded as a dead scene.

A person like Cao Poshi died when he died, and naturally no one regretted it.

In a city, ninety percent of the people will clap their hands and applaud. As for the remaining Yicheng, they are people who have interests in the Cao family, not necessarily regretting Cao Poshi, but more of a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Among them, the saddest thing is naturally that since I got the news, I have been closed for several days, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is now the power of the world.

Cao Jie is an old man in the palace, who has experienced two generations of emperors before and after, and his majesty has even more meritorious contributions to the establishment of the canon, but this person has always been quite forbearing, far from being arrogant and domineering after letting some of the rising people have the ambition of this newcomer.

Although there are also things that have more official positions and the Cao family, they will always use a reason for the past to not let people grasp the handle at will.

Only for Cao Poshi, Cao Jie has always been biased and partial, and does not talk about any reason and law.

What Cao Poshi did in Luoyang City, even if he died thousands of times, it was not an exaggeration.

It's just that the people in the city are either looking at Cao Jie's face, or being coerced by Cao Jie's power, no matter what, in the end, Cao Poshi has lived for so many years.

Now that Cao Poshi died suddenly, the ordinary people in the market naturally did not dare to celebrate, but secretly they could not help but say that the wicked have their own harvest, and when they returned home, they still had to drink a few bowls of wine to celebrate.

And those who have a little status above the court will think more, and they will naturally not regard Cao Poshi's death as an ordinary murder for money.

You must know that although Cao Poshi secretly went out of the city that day, you can imagine that Cao Poshi must have brought a lot of people with him.

Cao Jie is so concerned about this younger brother, on this eventful time, how could he not have thought that Cao Poshi would have something wrong outside?

Therefore, Cao Poshi's death this time can let them see more things after this person's death.

Combined with the current situation in the court, it is natural for people with a heart to perceive some unusual meanings.

It's just that no matter what the truth is, most of the people in Luoyang City feel that Cao Changqiu, who is now closed, should be heartbroken.

Therefore, many people are waiting to see the good show after Cao Jie walked out of the house.

At this time, the mountain rain is coming, but it is already full of wind and high-rise buildings.

-------

At this time, there was no mourning in the Cao Mansion as outsiders thought.

Cao Jie was hiding alone in the study.

There was no sadness on his face, and he even looked a little indifferent, and he was drinking with a wooden cup.

Now that he is old, his body can no longer support it. The medical worker said that if he took good care of it, he would probably be able to support it for a few more years. Therefore, he has not drunk alcohol for a long time, and today it is an exception.

On the table was a woodcarved tiger, the size of a palm, which looked a little old at first glance.

This is still when Cao Jie has not yet stepped into the official career.

It is also the only relic that Cao Poshi has left him with thoughts now.

Cao Jie looked at the woodcarved tiger on the table, but laughed out of place.

It is true that Cao Poshi and he are brothers, and it is true that he cherishes this brother the most. Otherwise, with the evil things Cao Poshi did, he would have died thousands of times.

Therefore, now he is sad about Cao Poshi's death, but he is not so sad.

Maybe it's because he's old now, so he looks at life and death more indifferently than before, who can live without death in the world? Sooner or later, it's just that.

Cao Poshi was just one step ahead of him, and the two would be able to meet underground sooner or later in the future.

He prides himself on not being a good person, and he will naturally go into the oil pot with his brother in the future. Those monks in the White Horse Temple often say that good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, and people like him who have done all the evil things in his life will not deserve a good ending in the future.

Moreover, as Yuan Shao said to Yuan Shu that day, Cao Poshi's death was actually expected by him, His Majesty wanted to promote a newcomer, and his current plan was to retreat bravely, give up his official position and give up his family wealth, and he could not exchange it for a family peace.

Otherwise, if you are not willing to give up at all, I am afraid that in the end, the life of the family will not be saved.

Today's death of Cao Poshi is actually nothing more than his strong man's broken wrist. In other words, it's nothing more than him losing his pawn to protect the car.

Only by giving up Cao Poshi and letting His Majesty see his compromise and concession can the Cao family have a glimmer of life.

He has served Emperor Ling for many years, how can he not know that this person is the most affectionate.

When you use it, you can choose your own wealth.

When you can't use it, don't want to talk to him about it.

There are only two people in this person's life, one is power, and the other is wealth.

For this reason, Mo said that it was Cao Jie who watched the Spirit Emperor grow up. If one day, if he really has something to ask for and have to sacrifice, even if he is the wife with knotted hair next to him, Her Majesty the Queen now, I can't say that the emperor who sits on the dragon chair will not even frown at all.

Cao Jie looked at the wooden carving on the table and frowned, in fact, for so many years, he has been asking in his heart, how did Cao Poshi, who ran around his knees, become the character who made the people in Luoyang City grit their teeth when they mentioned it?

In fact, he has often asked this question over the years, but at that time he was in power, even if Cao Poshi caused more trouble, he could press it down at will with just a wave of his hand.

Therefore, this thought only rises and falls in his heart.

Now that I think about it, his career has been powerful, and his authority is naturally one of the reasons. But later, Cao Poshi has repeatedly done wrong things since he was a teenager, and his neglect of discipline has a lot to do with it.

At that time, he often comforted himself by saying that he was still a teenager.

At that time, he always felt that young people would always grow up, and when they grew up, they would be sensible.

But now he suddenly understood.

On the contrary, these people tend not to reflect when they grow up, but tend to do something even more wrong.

Therefore, in his opinion, a young man who does evil deeds should also be dead.

He poured the wine in his hand to the ground and said in a low voice: "Poshi, although your death also has a reason for being a brother, it is mostly your own doing, and your death is not unjust." You can rest assured under the spring, don't be resentful of being a brother, after all, you have enjoyed so many years of wealth, far better than those who died at your hands. ”

"As for who killed you, I have some calculations in my heart. When I pass the current level in the future, if I still have the strength left, I will ask those people to pay for your lives one by one. ”

…………

Luoyang, Yuan family.

Yuan Feng's illness is getting worse these days. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu visited Yuan Feng and were gathering in the courtyard of the mansion at this time.

"Have you ever heard about Cao Poshi in the first place?" Yuan Shu casually twisted a fallen leaf on the ground and asked knowingly.

Now that Cao Poshi's death is full of wind and rain in the city, Yuan Shao naturally will not be unaware.

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Naturally, I know, is the highway afraid?" ”

"Afraid of what? I, Yuan Highway, are naturally bold, and besides, our Yuan family is so famous, how can I be afraid of him as a little eunuch? Although Yuan Shu said that he was hard, Yuan Shao still saw that he was a little inward-looking.

"Although Cao Jie is powerful now, there is no need to worry. As I said that day, the general trend in the DPRK and China is now like this, and there is no reason why he Cao Jie will not bow his head. Now Cao Poshi's death is just a means for him to survive with his tail broken, don't say that he has no time to retaliate, even if he wants to retaliate, he has to wait until he passes the current level, at least he can't set off any storms in front of him. ”

"If he can really take revenge, why is he cowering in Cao's Mansion at this time? He couldn't think about it. At this point, you are not as good as Liu Bei, who is still sitting firmly on the Wushi Mountain. If it comes to danger, this person's situation is a hundred times more dangerous than yours, isn't he still sitting safely? Highway, no matter when, don't lose the name of the Yuan family. Yuan Shao lightly slammed his fist into a towering tree behind him.

"At the beginning, you don't want to talk nonsense, besides, I am dignified Yuan Highway, how can I not compare to the martial artist who came from the border?" Yuan Shu was a little angry and jumped to his feet.

He Yuan Highway is not weaker than others.

Yuan Shao knew his temperament, so he didn't answer, but raised his eyes and carefully looked at the courtyard in front of him.

Yuan Feng's residence, they haven't been here for many years.

People are always like this, hurrying forward, forgetting the past.

Now that he Yuan Benchu is full of fame, many of the things he had when he was a teenager have not been remembered for a long time, whether he deliberately does not think about it, or he really forgets it, he is always left behind.

It's just that now that he is back in his hometown, he naturally reminds him of many stories of the old people.

When he was a teenager, he and Yong Yuan Shu actually played together, but when did they start to become estranged?

When did he and Yuan Shu start to look at each other?

"Highway, do you remember how long we've been here? You were here back in the day. Yuan Shao asked with a smile.

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, obviously reminded of some old things in his heart by Yuan Shao's words.

It's just that he quickly sneered, "I don't remember, it should have been many years." ”

"I still remember when you were young, my father was very strict with us, I once cut out a bamboo horse for you with my own hands, and you hid it in the yard, but in the end my father found it and beat you. But you are righteous enough, even if you are beaten by your father, you have never sold me. ”

"That's nature, I, Yuan Highway, am the most righteous." Yuan Shu's words were also a little low.

Even if he is now hostile to Yuan Shao as an enemy, in the end there is a time when he is a teenager who cannot be forgotten.

Yuan Shao turned around and looked at the towering tree behind him.

"I remember that this tree was planted by my father when you and I were young, when you and I were still young, and the height of the young tree was about the same height. In those years, when the year came, my father would always take us to the bottom of the tree, measure our measurements, and then carve a knife on the tree. I remember going on for many years. ”

Yuan Shao stretched out his hand and touched the tree a few times, but the place he touched was only flat bark, and there was no trace of the past years.

He looked up and thought that the nick was still there, but it was probably already at a high place. As far as the eye can see, but you can't see it.

"Of course I remember, I remember that every time I measured, I was always a head shorter than you. You didn't laugh at me less. Yuan Shu was also quite emotional, but when he thought of some old things, he inevitably became angry again.

"That's no way, I'm a brother and you're a brother, I want to be ridiculed by you, but it's a pity that you don't fight." Yuan Shao laughed.

Yuan Shu snorted angrily, but he couldn't find the words to refute it.

"It turns out that the contradiction between you and me has existed at that time." Yuan Shao sighed.

The contradiction between him and Yuan Shu is naturally not so simple, even if there are often disputes between small families and small families, let alone a wealthy family like their Yuan family?

All disasters must start from sudden danger, and the contradiction between him and Yuan Shu was slowly planted.

"What's the use of talking about that now?" Yuan Shu snorted coldly, "Now that you and I have grown up, what if we talk about the old things?" You are now the world-famous Yuan Benchu, and you don't think you were Yuan Shao who stood under the tree back then. I am the same, I am no longer the Yuan Highway who stood under the tree, was not as tall as you, and still needed to look up to you. ”

Yuan Shao glanced at Yuan Shu and said with a smile: "It's just that your current size is still not comparable to mine." ”

Yuan Shu shouted angrily, "Yuan Benchu! ”

He was about to speak, but was interrupted by someone who came suddenly.

"So you're both here." Yuan Kui came slowly, "I just don't need to look for you one by one." ”

Now Yuan Feng's condition is good and bad, and the affairs of the Yuan family are all in charge of their uncle.

"I am looking for you only to ask you about you. Does Cao Poshi's death have anything to do with you? Yuan Kui said.

Yuan Shu was silent.

Yuan Shao said: "Since my uncle came to ask, he naturally has a conclusion in his heart, so why waste his tongue again?" ”

"Rebel!" Yuan Kui scolded angrily, "You are acting so recklessly, the Yuan family will definitely be defeated in your hands in the future." ”

"Defeated in the hands of us, why not in the hands of my uncle? Now that my father is just seriously ill, why should my uncle be so eager to take over the authority of the Yuan family, isn't he afraid of criticism from others? Yuan Shu also got up and sneered.

"Your brother is still young, and even if I don't take it, there is still your brother, and the authority of the Yuan family will not fall into your hands no matter what." Yuan Kui also mocked.

"The two of you only know how to make friends with those so-called heroes all day long, you need to know that my Yuan family started with poetry and books. If the Yuan family is handed over to you, the Yuan family will inevitably be chaotic. You still have to learn more from your brothers. ”

Yuan Shao smiled and gently pounded the towering tree behind him that was not much different in age from him and Yuan Shu.

"Uncle's words are useless, and I am so young that I naturally can't struggle. It's just that I don't know where the Yuan family will go in the hands of my uncle? ”

Yuan Kui smiled when he heard this, only when Yuan Shao had already softened, the Yuan family, whose reputation was under his brother for half his life, finally couldn't help but reveal his heart to the two sons and nephews in front of him, "First for Confucianism in the world, and then for the leader of the political arena." My Yuan family, how can I not become another Huo family? And I, Yuan Kui, how can I not become another Huo Guang? ”

"Uncle just said that what we are doing is the way to destroy the Yuan family. In Yu Shao's opinion, his uncle's heart will make the Yuan family a disaster. Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.

Change source app, view the latest chapters of the book on multiple sites at the same time. 】

Yuan Kui looked down on these two nephews, and only regarded the two of them as children who did not govern the industry, and would not take their words to heart, "I have a brother above me over the years, so the world always underestimates my ability." What my brother can do, I can naturally do, and what my brother can't do, I can do it myself. ”

He took a step forward and looked at him, "Just wait and watch, I will definitely bring the Yuan family's name one step closer." ”

In fact, there is nothing to talk about between their uncles and nephews, and they often quarrel after two or three words on weekdays, but today it is a rare few words.

Yuan Kui wanted to turn around and leave, but before leaving, he still turned around and looked at another older ancient tree on the side of the towering tree behind Yuan Shao, and then he looked at Yuan Shu and said with a smile: "There was also a big tree like this between me and your father back then. From small to large, it grows year after year. And I was standing on the road. ”

"Seeing you now, it's a bit like seeing us back then." Yuan Kui smiled, stopped speaking, and turned away.

Yuan Shu snorted coldly, and also said goodbye and left.

Yuan Kui's words made his mind fluctuate, but he naturally wouldn't speak up in front of Yuan Shao, who had always looked down on him.

Yuan Shao was the only one left in the courtyard, and he stood alone, looking at the towering wood in front of him.

Now the young man who bears the name of the world's model in Luoyang City is silent, standing with his hands down, facing the ancient tree.

The face was shrouded in the shadows folded out behind the tree, and there was no joy or anger.

--------------

On the Wushi Mountain, Liu Bei read the letter from Lu Bu brought back by Jian Yong, folded the letter again, put it in his arms, and smiled at Guan Yu on the side: "I didn't expect that Lu Fengxian's calligraphy is not bad, although it is not as good as Yide, but it is not bad among the border martial artists." ”

Guan Yu snorted coldly, in his opinion, such a villain who forgets his righteousness is naturally incomparable to his third brother.

"Xuande should not be neglected." Jian Yong, who rushed back from the dust, still had a lot of dust on his face and body, "I see that Zhao Yu next to Lu Bu is a thoughtful person, and Lu Bu has him to help, but I am afraid that he will be like a tiger with wings." ”

"In this way, Lu Bu really made a lot of money this time." Liu Bei smiled, "But Xianhe doesn't need to worry, even if this Zhao Yu is full of thoughts, it is not something you and I should worry about, naturally there will be headaches." However, this person may not have a headache, and may be willing to eat it. ”

"Who is Xuande talking about?" Jian Yong was stunned for a moment, how could he not know that Liu Bei still had such a person by his side, but he quickly retracted his thoughts, "Lu Bu is far away in Hanoi now, but he really doesn't have to worry about it." The most important thing to consider now is how to deal with Cao Jie. That day, Xuande and Cao Poshi had a conflict on the street, and now that Cao Poshi is dead, I think Cao Jie will turn the finger on Xuande. Does Xuande have a way to deal with it? ”

"Xianhe doesn't need to worry, didn't we analyze this matter a long time ago? Now Cao Jie is above the court, and it is difficult to protect himself. Cao Poshi went out at this time, which was just a way for the strong man he threw out to break his wrist and protect himself. At present, he will not retaliate, and it will be a matter of the future to seek revenge from us, and we will naturally have a countermeasure at that time. Liu Bei just smiled.

"Speaking of which, Cao Jie's mind is really ruthless. In order to protect himself, he is willing to give up even his own brother. Guan Yu sighed with emotion, "I don't want there to be such a brother in the world." ”

He was very righteous, and naturally he couldn't imagine that there would be such a person in the world who trampled on brotherhood.

Liu Bei smiled, "Cao Jie may not be a good brother, but he is a good politician. In the eyes of politicians, there is never right or wrong, only interests. ”

"In the future, my brother will also go to the court." Guan Yu sighed, "If my brother becomes like this one day, Yu doesn't know what to do." ”

Liu Bei shook his head and didn't answer this question, but turned his head to look at the room, "Yun Chang, the gift I prepared for you was sent up the mountain early this morning. You weren't there at the time, but now you can go in and see, and it will suit your heart. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he immediately got up and walked to the house, and his brother, he would not be polite.

And he also wanted to know what the gift his brother had mentioned several times before was.

After a while, Guan Yu walked out of the house, and in his hand he was carrying a long knife, which was different from the ordinary ring-headed knife, which was about nine feet long, and there were some cyan lines engraved on it.

It seemed that the weight was quite large, Guan Yu held the knife in one hand, and the wooden plank in front of the house he stepped on rattled.

When he came to the courtyard, he danced the long knife in his hand a few times, and even if Jian Yong and Liu Bei were far apart, he could still feel the murderous intent.

The green robe and long knife are majestic.

Jian Yong said with a smile: "Xuande gave Yun Chang such a generous gift, I'm afraid that Xuande on Yide's side will not be able to explain." ”

"Xianhe rest assured." Liu Bei also smiled, "I won't favor one over the other, even Xianhe's new clothes I have prepared for you." ”

"Then thank you Xuande." Jian Yong smiled.

"Thank you, brother, for the knife." Guan Yu put away the long knife at this time and walked towards the two.

"It seems that Yun Chang is quite satisfied with this knife, so it is not in vain to be a brother." Liu Bei smiled, "I didn't answer Yun Changzhi's question, but now I'll give you an answer." It is not difficult to be a good politician, it is nothing more than giving up seven emotions and six desires and weighing the pros and cons. Yun Chang knew that I couldn't be a good politician. Although I cherish some feathers, in the name of benevolence and righteousness, I can give up friendship to become a great thing, and I can't do anything. ”

"You can ask for constitutional peace as proof. If one day, I, Liu Xuande, have a brotherhood, I will ask Yun Chang to cut off my head with this knife. ”

"Prepare for death, and have no complaints."

Hearing this, Jian Yong turned his head sideways and covered his face with his sleeves.

Guan Yu raised his head high, thinking that today's wind was really strong, otherwise why would he be blinded by the wind and sand.

Liu Bei put his hands in his sleeves and stopped talking.

What Fang Cai said was naturally his true words.

No one is perfect, and it is difficult to find perfection.

If there is no double law in the world.

Then he'd rather be a fool who dies for friendship.
