The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south.

At the newly renovated Luoyang City Gate, Cao Pi, Wu Zhen, Liu Zhen and others were divided into two teams to stand at the gate and wait for Cao Zhi.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually sounded on the official road, and Cao Zhi wore a cloak and rode a horse with a few entourages...

Cao Pi waved his hand and said, "Zijian..."

He hurriedly greeted him, Cao Zhi saw that his brother came to pick him up so late, obviously a little surprised, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted and bowed to worship.

Cao Pi hugged him and said, "Zijian, you are here, if you don't hand over this Luoyang City to you personally, how can you rest assured that your brother?" Hey? Is it just the two of you? Isn't there a personal escort? ”

The two people Cao Pi refers to are Cao Zhi and Ding Yi.

Ding Yi, like Yang Xiu, both supported Cao Zhi and was Cao Zhi's diehard, and this time he also came back with him to build Luoyang.

Hearing his brother's words, Cao Zhi smiled innocently, "Since my father ordered me to complete the construction of Luoyang within two months, I was anxious about the progress of Luoyang, and I didn't have time to mobilize troops and horses, so I directly took Brother Ding to rush back, and I arrived in three days and three nights." ”

Cao Pi caressed Cao Zhi's arm with concern, "It's hard to ride a horse for a few days, isn't it?" ”

"Being able to take over the second brother to build a city for his father is nothing. I heard that the second brother has built the entire Luoyang City, and now looking at this magnificent city gate, it is expected that this is the case, it seems that thanks to the blessing of the second brother, the foolish brother can be much easier this time, and most of them can complete the task as scheduled. ”

Cao Zhi spoke, and he wanted to thank him again.

Cao Pi stopped: "Hey, my brother, what are you talking about?" You have worked hard all the way, second brother, you have brought good wine, catch the wind and wash the dust! ”

A pleasant greeting...

Cao Pi, Wu Zhen, Liu Zhen and others were in front, Cao Zhi and Ding Yi were behind, and the group entered the city gate, and there was a post house on the left, Cao Pi and others went in first, Cao Zhi was about to follow in, Ding Yi suddenly stopped him, "Gongzi was drunk when he first came to Luoyang, I'm afraid that Prime Minister Cao Cheng knows..."

didn't wait for Ding Yi to finish speaking.

Cao Pi said loudly: "Why didn't the fourth brother come in?" Are you ready for this food and drink? Come and try it! Now there is no cook in Luoyang City, but your sister-in-law specially cooked these dishes, which are prepared for you. ”

Hearing the words "sister-in-law", Cao Zhi's eyes must have been beaded, he glanced at Ding Yi meaningfully, and immediately took off his cloak directly and threw it to Ding Yi, "Sister-in-law, like my mother, has always been good to me, and it is my sister-in-law's cooking... How can I get away with it? ”

While speaking, Cao Zhi did not hesitate anymore and strode in.

Sure enough, Zhen Mi is really here, this is the first time Cao Zhi has seen his sister-in-law this year.

It seems that Cao Zhi is a little surprised...

"It's always hard to build a city in Luoyang..."Cao Pi explained, "Your sister-in-law is in Xudu, not far from here, I'm afraid that I won't be used to eating the big pot of rice here, so I specially came here to cook for me. I'm leaving, and you can still eat the dishes cooked by your sister-in-law. ”

When Cao Pi said this, his eyes turned to Zhen Mi's face.

At this moment, Zhen Mi is wearing a plain robe, standing elegantly in this private room, with a cold and indifferent temperament, like the first bloom of a clear lotus, pure and beautiful, not causing dust, and more like the lotus blooming in the world.

Although Fanghua is no longer there, no matter who sees her cold face now, they can't help but chant the popular sentence ten years ago - "There are two Qiaos in Jiangdong, and Zhen Miqiao in Hebei!" ”

On the other hand, Zhen Mi is pursing her lips at the moment.

It seems that standing between this pair of brothers makes her a little nervous and restrained.

It also reminded her of what Cao Pi said to herself two days ago when she learned that Cao Zhi was coming...

At that moment, I don't know where to go, Cao Pi took out a lot of articles written by Cao Zhi, and together with these articles... There are also three letters from Zhen Mi...

Over the years, Zhen Mi and Cao Zhi have written three times.

It's just "Cao Zhi is helping his sister-in-law relieve her loneliness"!

Can...

Brother-in-law and sister-in-law, such letters... After all, it is taboo, and the correspondence between the two is often in secret, extremely secretive, and they rarely even meet, let alone do anything out of the ordinary.

I never thought about it, but I was still known by Cao Pi.

"Zihuan, you misunderstood me!"

"Misunderstanding what? Although my poems are not as good as Zijian, I also know how to read poems, poems are charming because of affection, this poem, this letter, I can't see a word 'love'! ”

"Zihuan, you still misunderstood!"

"You like poetry, let's talk about poetry, what did I misunderstand?"

In the face of Cao Pi's aggressiveness, Zhen Mi burst into tears, and she dragged Cao Pi's hand expectantly, "Zihuan, can't you have a good word with me?" You've been cold to me since I married you, and you've been cold to me for so many years, if... If you looked down on me and disliked me as an outcast, why did you marry me? Can't you spare me and let us go for each other? ”

Cao Pi gently wiped away her tears, he didn't want to tell too much about it, he had no affection for Zhen Mi, only the right could make him move, Queen Guo could give him advice and fight for rights, he liked Queen Guo Zhao!

Even... Cao Pi is deeply aware... Zhen Mi, even she herself is just a tool, a tool for her father to make their brothers fight!

In this case, the father wants to use a woman to make their brothers fight, so he Cao Pi also uses this woman to win the position of the son of this world.

"I've read all these letters, I don't want to talk about them before, and I won't mention them again in the future, I only ask you to do one thing!"

Cao Pi's voice was cold but firm.

Zhen Mi gritted her teeth, "Yes... Is it to stop writing letters with Zijian and stop talking about poetry? ”

- "Are you talking about poetry?"

Cao Piqiang held back the anger that was about to burst out in his heart, and he said to Zhen Mi in a commanding tone: "Zijian will come to Luoyang in two days, I want you to stay here, don't you like to talk about poetry?" Then I'll let you talk enough in Luoyang! ”

Cao Pi is not joking...

Cao Zhi wants to take over the construction of Luoyang, and he Cao Pi wants to leave, but the last thing Cao Pi can't let go of is Li Li's secret passage, he must make this secret passage foolproof, so that this secret passage will not be discovered!

So... He must find a way to help Li Lian hide this "secret passage"!

Find a way to divert Cao Zhi's attention.

So... The only way he could think of was Zhen Mi.

Cao Pi knows this stupid brother too well, as long as Zhen Mi is in Luoyang, not only will he not discover the secret passage, but even if his father completes the task of building Luoyang City in two months, he will not be able to complete it!

Cao Pi is a person who can sacrifice everything for the sake of the world, even if it is his wife who is sacrificed.

Because he knows better that if Cao Zhi becomes the ultimate winner in this battle for the son, then... Everything that belongs to him, status, reputation, even his wife, his dignity, will be taken away!

It's come to the most critical moment, Cao Pi has no worries and gives it a go!

"Zihuan, you are still misunderstanding me..."Zhen Mi was very aggrieved at that time.

Cao Pi frowned, "I'm not joking with you, I really need you to do this... If, if you are still my wife, then do as I say! Just in Luoyang City, I chatted with Zijian about poetry..."

When he said this, Cao Pi's heart was as humiliated as ever, as if he had lost his dignity and became a walking corpse.

He threw the letters that made him extremely "humiliated" into Zhen Mi's arms and brushed away, leaving Zhen Mi behind his back and couldn't help asking: "Why?" Why? ”

Cao Pi turned his head, "It's better not to ask, even I regret knowing why?" Once you know, you can't forget, you can't get rid of it, so not knowing, on the contrary, is merciful! ”

Because of this incident, because of these words, Zhen Mi seemed to cry dry her tears, Cao Pi was humiliated, but how could she not be humiliated in carrying out Cao Pi's task?

At this moment, in the private room of this post house, Zhen Mi tried hard to squeeze out a few smiles, "Zijian is here, your brother said a few days ago that he was worried that you were afraid of the cold, so I asked me to sew a cloak for you, but I was busy for a few nights!" ”

Cao Zhi was very moved: "Sister-in-law...... My second brother and sister-in-law treated me so well. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and stroked the delicate embroidery on the edge of his cloak, with mixed feelings...

He suddenly raised his head, took Cao Pi's hand, and looked at Zhen Mi again: "Sister-in-law, I want to stay drunk with my second brother tonight, sister-in-law won't mind!" ”

"This..."Soon, two words came out of Zhen Mi's mouth faintly: "Naturally-"

The night became more and more silent, but after a while, Cao Zhi was already drunk, and he groaned: "...... The liquor is full of gold, and the food is vertical and horizontal. Qi people enter Qile, and singers go out of Western Qin. My son, clever and sudden, second brother... Second brother, it's your turn, second brother... Second brother, you and your sister-in-law are so good to me! ”

Drunk, drunk ...

Cao Zhi is already drunk, drunk and fell into the gentle township that Cao Pi specially woven for him!

It was Zhen Mi, she braved the wind and stood on the steps of this post house, looking at the door of the private room, the wind blowing her sleeves, looking so thin and desolate.

At this moment, she seemed to be in the eye of the storm, and she felt the undercurrent between the brothers most directly and violently.

She knew that no matter what, she couldn't hide!

…

…

Shouchun City, the entire Zhang Liao's mansion seemed to be surrounded by a confused smoke.

Zhang Liao's low, painful and extremely forbearant screams rang out in the bedroom of the mansion.

"Ahh Ahh

Inside the house, a group of pro-soldiers guarded the periphery, and the eyes of all the pro-soldiers were tightly fixed on Zhuo Rong's slender hands.

The shiny medical set "Eight Iron Pieces" is placed aside;

Gold and silver needles, silver wires, medicine pestles, fire pots, shawls, wood, waist pillars, knees and so on are gathered together.

Zhuo Rong calmly picked up a silver needle and rushed through it with wine, warmed it with fire, and then inserted it into Zhang Liao's acupuncture point, then the second one, the third one, until the eleven pieces were inserted, and Zhang Liao, who had fainted, woke up.

A group of guards around exclaimed excitedly:

"Wake up, General Zhang is awake!"

A group of pro-soldiers who were still a little skeptical about Zhuo Rong's medical skills finally let go of their worries now, and their tone was also a lot more friendly to Zhuo Rong.

However, although Zhang Liao was already conscious, he still looked painful, as if he had suffered a great ordeal.

Zhuo Rong couldn't bear to see Zhang Liao in such pain, and couldn't help pursing his lips.

Subconsciously blurted out: "It would be nice if my master's hemp boiled and scattered..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, and quickly covered her mouth, here... She shouldn't have said that!

It's going to be fatal!

But looking left and right, I found that no one cared about the sentence she had just chanted.

Only then did he pat his chest, which was a lot more relieved.

This was a small episode, and soon, Zhuo Rong's heart sank again.

She hurriedly took out a gourd from the package, and then poured the green liquid in the gourd into the bowl, "You have your help, this medicine... It is necessary not only to let Brother Zhang take it, but also to apply it to the wound. ”

Brother Zhang...

These three words, although Zhuo Rong chanted quickly, it was difficult to hide a different relationship, as if the relationship between the two was very tacit.

With Zhuo Rong's words... A cadre of guards hurriedly stretched out their hands, some helped Zhang Liao's head, and some carefully wiped the green viscous liquid on the wound on Zhang Liao's body.

Call...

Seeing this, Zhuo Rong finally exhaled slowly, touched Zhang Liao's forehead, and seemed to have subsided a little.

But... That's not enough.

Zhuo Rong asked again: "Do you have 'garlic' here?" ”

Her eyes were full of anticipation, but also with infinite desire...

She can't wait to use Zhang Zhongjing's methods to heal Ling Tong on Zhang Liao's body, she wants Zhang Liao to live!

In fact, she told outsiders that she came to save Zhang Liao because of the benevolence of the doctor... It's all a lie, it's all a cover-up.

In fact... Where is the benevolence of the healer, just a feeling... He had an inexplicable feeling for Zhang Liao, a different kind of affection since he knew his name.

Because, according to the last disciple of the master, "Wu Prison", when Cao Cao wanted to kill his master Hua Tuo.

Among the entire Cao Wei's ministers, only Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun opened their mouths to plead;

Among the entire generals of Cao Wei, only Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan interceded with Cao Cao.

Xun Yu's words of intercession were-"Hua Tuo's medical skills are indeed clever, and they are related to people's lives, so he should be tolerated and tolerated!" ”

Zhang Liao's intercession was-"The last general lived in Yanmen for a long time when he was young, Xianbei often plundered, ten rooms and nine emptiness, countless soldiers guarded the border, and countless wounded, if it weren't for many doctors who spontaneously rushed to the border to heal the wounds and illnesses of the soldiers, the last general didn't know if he could survive to this day, so I implore Cheng to be more tolerant of the relative doctors and forgive Hua Tuo this time!" ”

It's just that whether it's Xun Yu or Zhang Liao...

Their words failed to persuade Cao Cao after all.

However, Xun Yu spread it because of his plea, and was grateful by the people in the apricot forest.

But Zhang Liao, because he is a martial artist and a general, few people know his words, if it weren't for the disciple Wu Zhijiao, who the master recognized before his death, Zhuo Rong would not have known this secret.

Merely... This matter is extremely dangerous because it involves the master... Zhuo Rong has never mentioned it to anyone, even his closest relatives.

Therefore, her feelings for Zhang Liao are special, and it is also Zhang Liao and Ling Tong who show their brave and fearless side, and she will be more moved by Zhang Liao-

In this compartment, Zhuo Rong is still sparing no effort to save Zhang Liao, and in that compartment, Cao Zhen took advantage of the chaos to sneak to the door.

He was observing the woman, but inadvertently, he heard a word.

It was Zhuo Rong's unintentional words - "It would be nice if my master's hemp boiled away!" ”

Hemp boiling?

Hemp boils!

This... How could Cao Zhen not know that hemp was boiling?

How could Cao Zhen not know the owner of Ma Boiling San?

My master?

This...

Immediately, Cao Zhen realized the seriousness of this matter.

Even... This female doctor with a new face called herself an old friend to General Zhang, and called him "Brother Zhang"!

Even Zhang Liao's expression when he saw her, the affection in the eyes of the two, these... It's all meaningful!

Cao Zhen didn't dare to slack off, he "chirped" his mouth and said to himself:

"Hua Tuo's female disciple, she... She's coming here? How can there be good things? Isn't it to harm the prime minister and avenge her master? ”

Thinking of this, Cao Zhen quickly turned around, and while he ordered his guards to keep an eye on this place and stare at the woman, he turned over his horse and galloped towards the government office.

This matter was originally not big, but Zhang Liao was implicated, so it was not trivial, and it must be reported to the prime minister immediately-

…

…

In Xiangyang City, in the study room of the Taishou Official Office, as soon as Lu Xun left, Guan Lin thought of a question.

He asked Lu Xun to go to Jiaozhou 'Guziyang', it seems that the place is wrong...

At this moment, a poem came to Guan Lin's mind:

- "Glamorous and snowy, left behind and independent." In the empty valley, the cold power cannot be eroded. The smoke is accompanied by its seclusion, and the jade is virtuous! ”

This is the poem "Yonggu Yangbai Winter Flower" by Zhao Faxian, a native of Jiaozhou in the Qing Dynasty!

In other words, Guziyang is an island outside Lingshan Temple in Jiaozhou, not an island outside Lingshan County in Jiaozhou...

Immediately, Guan Lin planned to send Lingju to Dashan Shandong!

But as soon as this idea appeared, Guan Lin figured out that something was wrong, this time he was going to meet a righteous man, who was in the top ten or even the top five in the Three Kingdoms Wisdom!

Greyhound... It's okay to let her assassinate, let her ask... How to rescue Zhang Liao, even if it is the opposite direction.

Immediately, Guan Lin "chirped" his mouth, and couldn't help but think about it carefully.

In fact... You can still let Lu Xun go, let him set off from Jiaozhou, see his people, and then take the sea route near the sea to reach the islands outside Lingshan Temple...

Then it was still him who went to visit this "senior" who was the same time as Zhuge Liang!

Thinking of this, Guan Lin bowed slightly.

So it was decided.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but murmur the last two sentences of the song "Song of Drums and White Winter Flowers" - there is a guest coming from the sea, and it is suspected that it is Xu Yuanzhi. The clouds fall on the sky, and it is impossible to reach!

That's right...

The only two who are in Cao Ying's heart are in Han, and the only two who slipped out of Cao Ying's eyes from under Cao Cao's nose, except for his father Guan Yu, is this Xu Yuanzhi.

This is very different from the record in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

According to the description in the official history, although Xu Shu went to Cao's camp because of Xu's mother, Xu's mother did look up to Liu Bei and regarded Cao Cao as a traitor.

But in fact, after Xu Shu arrived in Cao Ying, Xu's mother didn't jump into the well at all, and Xu Shu didn't say a word but offered advice to Cao Cao...

When it came to educating his disciple Cao Chong, he still spared no effort.

And Xu Shu's departure was after Cao Chong was bitten to death by a snake.

Guan Yu took Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi through five passes and six generals, and returned to Liu Bei's side.

Xu Shu left Cao Ying with his mother...

But this matter is very strange, Cao Cao, a person who can't rub sand in his eyes, will he let Xu Shu take his mother and leave him under his nose like this?

Impossible, absolutely impossible—

On this side, Guan Lin was pondering carefully.

Shouchun City in the other side, with a "bang", Cao Cao slapped the table, and the pen and ink on the entire table splattered.

On the other hand, his tiger eyes froze, and the whole person seemed to be angry.

"Hua Tuo? It's really ghostly! His disciples are wiser and know how to do it from the people who are lonely! ”

With Cao Zhen's report, with Cao Cao's anger, Cheng Yu's eyes on the side shook, and he said softly: "Could it be a mistake?" After all, this woman is treating General Zhang! ”

Cheng Yu originally proposed another possibility... It's a misunderstanding!

Who would have thought, "Hmph..."Cao Cao snorted coldly, his tiger eyes tightened, and his tone became even colder, "Hua Tuo also said that he could cure Lone's disease!" But he's going to open his skull with a lonely axe? Does Lone follow him? ”
