In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, the first day of September.

Cao Cao retreated from Hanzhong, ordered Pang De and Xu Huang to lead troops to rescue Hefei, cooperated with Cao Ren and Zhang Liao to block Sun Quan in Xukou, and led a large army back to Xudu to quell the rebellion - Ling Jiping, the imperial physician of the Han Dynasty, and Shaofu Geng Ji, Si Zhi Wei Huang and others conspired to attack Xudu and burn the military camp of Prime Minister Changshi Wang Bi, intending to rescue Emperor Han Xian.

But on the way back to the army, there was already news that Wang Bi had successfully quelled the rebellion, and Cao Cao went back this time just to deter and clean up the remnants of the big Han on the way.

Lu Jing followed the army and the migrating disciples to pass through Xudu without hurry and go to Yecheng.

During this time, he has been familiar with the high-level Cao Jun who has fought this time, and they are all quite harmonious, Jia Xu and Liu Ye are very gentle, and the top boss Cao Hong admires it very much, only Zhang He who stayed in Hanzhong has a black face, of course, this can't be blamed on Zhang He, he was arrested first, and then he was toyed with puppet silk, he was already generous if he didn't follow Lu Jing's anxious eyes.

The most familiar is Yang An.

The agreement made a year ago became a reality, and I looked for Lu Jing to eat and drink along the way, and took out several bottles of treasured Western Regions wine for this purpose.

The army marched for more than ten days, getting closer and closer to Yecheng.

On horseback, Fan Xuan looked at the majestic city in the distance, and began to tell Lu Jing: "This time, the Duke of Wei is a marquis, you have your own title and official position, after entering the city, remember to act cautiously and restrain your murderous intentions." Yecheng is not as good as Hanzhong, this is the capital of Wei, the sects are mixed, and there are many factions from all sides, I can't take care of it on Jiuhua Mountain, everything depends on you, be careful in everything. ”

Fan Xuan taught earnestly.

Although the master and apprentice have only been dating for more than a year, they are each digging out their hearts and lungs.

Fan Xuan sincerely regards Lu Jing as his inheritor, and Lu Jing also regards Fan Xuan as his closest elder in this world, and he is also a teacher and friend.

Lu Jing said seriously: "Master rest assured, I have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, you preach at ease in Jiuhua Mountain, don't forget to leave me a good yard." ”

Jiuhua Mountain, located in the northwest of Yecheng, is a treasure land of feng shui.

Cao Cao generously assigned this famous mountain to the Heavenly Master Dao, as the Great Wei Guojiao Dojo, and handed it over to Zhang Lu.

This time to Yecheng, Zhang Lu, Fan Xuan and others were not idle, and they also had to supervise the construction of the second Heavenly Master's Mansion on the mountain.

"Remember."

Fan Xuan smiled helplessly, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard? When is the boy afraid of being too hard.

Pang Tong's hatred couldn't bear it for a few months, and he had to kill him even if he was against the Yuan Shen, how could he rest assured......

Fan Xuan sighed: "You......"

Yang An on the side said with a smile: "Fan sacrifice wine can rest assured. Dongting has now entered the eyes of Duke Wei and has become the captain of the school office, General Cao is the most protective of his shortcomings, who would dare to provoke ordinary people? In addition, Captain Touching Jin has to participate in military aircraft wars from time to time, detect traitors, search for strange treasures, and his footprints are all over the world, and he generally has little time to mix in the national capital, so naturally it doesn't matter if there is a grudge, even if there is, we will help. ”

The current ruler of the school government is Cao Pi, the deputy prime minister of Wei and the general of the five officials.

- only nominally.

During the war, Cao Pi stayed in Yecheng, and Cao Cao would lead the army directly under the government.

Under Cao Pi, there are Cao Hong, the general of Faqiu Zhonglang, and Xu Chu, the general of Wuwei Zhonglang, both of which are of the same level, but Xu Chu led Captain Yingyang to escort Cao Cao with the army, inquire about the military situation, and assassinate the enemy generals, basically on the front line, and Cao Hong was mostly in charge of the two departments in the rear.

In the event of a war, Xu Chu went out to fight, or for some reason Captain Yingyang was short of manpower, Cao Hong would also appoint Captain Touching Jin to help, and the two were not distinct, but complemented each other. Just like during the attack on Yangping Pass, the two sides exchanged information, so as to get the exact information of Lu Jing's sneak attack on the camp.

Cao Hong is a big old man, with very high martial arts, but he is not good at scheming, and he is too lazy to use his wit, so he likes Yang An and Lu Jing the most subordinates who can take ideas and take charge alone, and it is precisely because they are old and rough that they are quite unreasonable and extra protective of their shortcomings, coupled with the special role of the school government, the general nobles really dare not be presumptuous.

Which noble can be more valuable than Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Hong?

Fan Xuan said: "There is labor." ”

Yang An replied: "Don't worry about sacrificing wine, you should do it." ”

This time it's Lu Jing's turn to be helpless, am I so uneasy?

In a blink of an eye, in front of the east gate of Yecheng, Cao Pi took Cao Cao's sons and hundreds of officials to welcome the army back.

Lu Jing met the later Emperor Wei Wen.

Cao Pi is very young, but in his twenties, his appearance is heroic, his demeanor is calm, but he has a little more sense of disharmony - Chen Shouxiu said in the Three Kingdoms: Emperor Wen is gifted and literate, writes chapters, is well-read and knowledgeable, and has both talents; If you add the degree of magnity, encourage the sincerity of fairness, the way of ambition, and the heart of virtue, then the sage of the ancients, how far away!

Proper premium black!

The translated meaning of this sentence is that if you are more ambitious, ambitious, fair, and more moral, you will not be far from the ancient sages, which means that you are not ambitious, your ambitions are not high, and you are not moral, and you are far from Mingjun......

The history books call it pretentious, insidious and mean, but I don't know what is going on in this world......

Lu Jing followed the crowd and observed Cao Pi.

The ministers and soldiers played music and lined up to greet them, and the people and chivalrous soldiers watched like a block.

"Son's congratulations to his father and his victorious return!"

Cao Pi was the first to speak, and then Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, Cao Chong, and hundreds of civil and military officials saluted and congratulated at the same time.

Cao Cao laughed and ordered Jing Zhaoyin to settle down and lead the army into the city.

Looking at his expression, Cao Cao obviously preferred Cao Zhi and Cao Chong, and after getting off the horse, he took Xiao Cao Chong's hand and walked together.

There was a faint gloomy color between Cao Pi's eyebrows.

"Sure enough, it's a Yin Carving Lord."

Seeing this, Lu Jing thought in his heart: "Cao Cao is about to be the king, and I am afraid that the position of the prince will have many twists and turns, Cao Pi is not favored by Cao Cao, but because of the eldest son, he holds the sharp weapon of the school office, and the situation is a little troublesome......"

Even if he knew that Cao Pi would be the future Emperor Wen of Wei, but now that Cao Cao is not dead, the situation is uncertain, and it is better to wait and see at this time.

The current world has begun to deviate, and there may be some changes in the future......

Lu Jing made up his mind, and the rest of the matter was simple.

Even though he was a marquis and a general, there were officials and knights, but the fief was in Louting, Brazil County, and it was only a false seal, in Yecheng, the capital of Wei State, it was still a small fish and shrimp, and it couldn't make waves at all, and no one paid attention to it, but fortunately, there was a marquis of Louting, and Cao Cao valued it, so he specially ordered him to be rewarded with a mansion, which was very close to the official office of the school office, so he could not buy a house.

Fan Xuan and others went to Jiuhua Mountain.

Lu Jing began to settle in Yecheng.

Wang Shuang and Hu Cong also lived in the mansion, and Zhang Qiying also went to the mountain, reluctant before leaving, Lu Jing promised to go to see her when he settled down, so he was appeased, Zhang Lu, Zhang Yulan, Fan Xuan and others saw it in their eyes, and also included the lifelong events of the two in the agenda; Yan Ling's family, including the old department of the Fengyin Pavilion, also came to Yecheng and settled down in the Xicheng Business District, preparing to reopen the Fengyin Pavilion.

Yan Yan was previously hurt by the "Luofu Sword Immortal" Yan Zhan's "Great River Sword Qi", although the sword qi was led out by Lu Jing, but it seriously lost the power of the source, and his skills were greatly reduced, and he could only support the rest of his life, but fortunately, there was also Yan Ling's father Yan Duan and Yi Bayin to support, even though Yecheng was a dragon and a tiger, it still occupied a place, and it was open as usual.

……

Cao Hong gave Lu Jing ten days to settle down, and after ten days, he would go to the school office to perform his duties.

In the past ten days, Lu Jing moved and joined Fengyin Hall to connect with Wujiabao in Brazil County, and also took the time to go to Jiuhua Mountain to see Zhang Qiying.

Time flies.

It's the last day in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Lu Jing's internal strength was running all day, his divine thoughts were pulling the heaven and earth vitality into his body, and the layer of diaphragm that was refining the second turn of the gods was getting weaker and weaker, and he could feel that he was only one opportunity away from breaking through......

"Liu Bei got Chengdu, Huang Quan fled, was taken out by Mingyi's people, and now he has arrived in Hanzhong, and he will be able to come over soon."

In the new residence of the Fengyin Pavilion, Yan Ling made a cup of tea for Lu Jing: "It's just ...... There is still no movement of Ma Chao, and he doesn't seem to have voted for Liu Bei. ”

"Huh?"

Lu Jing was stunned.

On the same day, the battle in front of Yangping Pass, Cao Cao will take advantage of Zhang Wei and Yang Bai to attack the mountain, Zhang Wei was captured for assassination and poisoning, and then the generals surrounded Ma Chao, under the attack of Pang De and Xu Huang, Ma Chao gradually fell into the downwind, but at the critical juncture, a gust of wind blew inexplicably - the wind was evil, like a sharp blade, piercing both eyes.

Pang De and the others hurriedly dodged, but Ma Chao disappeared in the wind......

Also that night, when Zhang Lu and others received the news that Zhang Wei had been captured, Ma Dai, who had been detained in the back mountain, also disappeared......

In all this way, someone must be secretly helping!

Lu Jingchai is Zuo Ci's gang again, helping Liu Bei recruit troops and buy horses - although Liu Bei's confidant and strategist Sun Qian was killed by Ma Chao, the dead are not as good as the living, but now listening to this meaning, it seems that there is still a hidden secret?

Lu Jing thought for a while: "Ma Dai doesn't have to worry, Ma Chao is injured, maybe he is hiding somewhere to heal his injuries and continue to stare at it." He has a noble status, a prince for generations, and if he really wants to surrender to Liu Bei, he will not be silent. ”

"Hmm."

Yan Ling nodded, then took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to Lu Jing: "This is what you want, I took someone to check it out when I watched chess, but it was just ...... Yecheng dragons and snakes are mixed, the mountains are numerous, and the involvement is quite deep, and some information can only be superficial. ”

"That's enough."

Lu Jing took the bamboo slip, and on it was the martial arts force entrenched in Yecheng.

At the top of the list is naturally the strongest official "school office".

Then there is the equally official "Tianxia School Palace". The current master of the school palace is the Qinghe Cui clan, and the Shangshu order "Master" Cui Yan.

Then there is the semi-official force "Star Sect". Created by Zhang Heng (note: this Zhang Heng is a wooden saint of the Eastern Han Dynasty), the contemporary suzerain holds the four-grade artifact "armillary sphere", and concurrently serves as the Taishi Ling, presides over the astrological platform, and holds the ephemeris of the sky.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Xiu, the main book, is the first disciple of the sect master, and the descendant of the Star Sect!

Among them, the relationship between the Star Sect and the school government is very close, especially for the Captain of the Touching Gold, their divination of strange treasures is the most important.

Then there is the folk sect, and most of the disciples are attached to the family as guests.

Yang Xiu...... Star Sect ......"

Lu Jing muttered, his face solemn.

Yan Ling saw that his expression was wrong, and said with concern: "What's wrong?" Does he have a problem? ”

"A little."

Lu Jing frowned and said: "Yang Xiu and Cao Zhi have a good relationship, and their talents are world-famous, in order to fight for the position of the son of the world, they will inevitably help Cao Zhi and Cao Pi to fight against him, and Cao Pi ......"

Yan Ling continued: "Cao Pi is the king of your school again...... He is the head disciple of the Star Sect, so if he secretly makes a stumbling block, won't he hurt you? ”

“……”

That's what Lu Jing was worried about.

Yan Ling was a little panicked: "How can this be a good ......?"

"There's no hurry."

Lu Jing patted her hand and said comfortingly: "It shouldn't be like this...... Cao Cao was still there, and Yang Xiu didn't dare to be so blatant. ”

Yan Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Jingxin said, the problem is that even if you do it, for the sake of Cao Zhi's face, most of it will be over......

Cao Cao loves this son very much.

If it weren't for his frank nature and arbitrary behavior, how could he still get Cao Pi for the position of the prince?

"I hope you don't come to stop me from becoming an official, our well water will not interfere with the river water."

Lu Jing gently closed the bamboo slip, killing intent flashed in his eyes, dare to provoke me, then try it......
