75. Hit and pull
With infinite amazement, Chen Gong decided to secretly investigate the matter.
But the matter was not easy to investigate, because he could not see Gao Xiang.
Now Gao Xiang, in addition to torturing a little red every day and letting a little red spit out the treasure map, the rest of the time is seclusion.
He had to rely on Cao Cao to help him restore his strength and appearance.
~~
Cao Hong trained the beggar gang disciples with peace of mind and became his beggar gang leader.
In this kind of thing, he worked extremely hard, and he also obeyed Cao Cao's orders.
As long as Cao Cao asks him to do something, he will definitely work hard to do it well.
It is to have the opportunity to rub some oil for him from time to time and make some money.
Therefore, Cao Cao never checked his accounts.
~~
When Cao Cao came back to Dunqiu County, he vigorously promoted the Shen Yi to go to the countryside pavilion, build roads, and prosper the Shang Temple, which caused a sensation in the world.
Although countless people praised Cao Cao, and hundreds of people sent eggs, roosters, hens, and grain to thank Cao Cao, Cao Cao still had a tasteless life this winter.
Because Shen Lianqing is gone, and there is no news.
Is Shen Lianqing alive or dead?
Will she fall into the hands of others?
Cao Cao's heart has always been concerned about Shen Lianqing's safety.
Approaching the end of the year, everyone is busy preparing for the Spring Festival.
~~
The Spring Festival, also known as the "New Year" or "New Year".
This is a folk festival that integrates the old and the new, worships the gods and ancestors, prays for blessings and wards off evil spirits, reunites relatives and friends, celebrates entertainment and eats.
At this time, no one from the state and county will come to check on the affairs of Dunqiu.
The officials at the higher level all gave gifts and ran away.
Cao Cao thought about it, and felt that it should be okay for him to leave Dunqiu at this time.
He instructed Xiahoudun to send the Haw Par Rider and the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau to join forces to bring the families of the Haw Par Rider brothers to Dunqiu for reunion, and took out a gold brick and handed it to Xiahoudun, so that Xiahoudun must handle this matter well, and all expenses will be spent from this gold brick.
He took out another gold brick and gave it to Xiahoudun, saying that this is a separate reward for you.
In this way, Xiahoudun worked very hard to handle this matter.
~~
Cao Cao also asked Cao Hong to inform the beggars to protect the family members of the tiger and leopard riders along the way and continue to inquire about Shen Lianqing's news.
Then, he asked the county lieutenant to kill the chicken, pack it for him, prepare some good wine for him, and then rode back to Kyoto alone, went to Beibi Mountain, and worshiped He Feng.
He has a deep affection for the beauties who have fallen in love with him, without exception.
~~
The mountain stretches for three or four hundred miles from east to west.
It lies like a long dragon in the north of Luoyang City.
The peaks and peaks are undulating, the scenery is beautiful, and the soil is deep.
There are many mausoleums of princes and ministers.
Originally, after He Feng died, he was not qualified to be buried here.
However, she is nominally Zhang Rang's daughter-in-law.
There is a Zhang Rang to come forward, who dares not to follow?
Moreover, she was still the sister of He Lian and He Guiren, who were favored at that time.
~~
Cao Cao rode his horse, and when he reached the bottom of the mountain, he flew off his horse.
He led his horse into the mountain to prevent it from being discovered by the officers and soldiers guarding the mausoleum.
At this time, the weather was freezing cold, and the Han court was rotten enough.
Therefore, the officers and soldiers guarding the mountains and tombs had no intention of caring about anything else.
They were tired of sleeping in the caves where they were stationed, warming themselves by charcoal fires.
However, Cao Cao was an official sent abroad, and he was not allowed to enter Beijing without being edicted.
Once he was found to be in Kyoto and nearby, and someone had a copy of him, he was dead.
So, he was extremely careful.
Compared to the past year, he has matured a lot.
People are always growing and maturing.
~~
The twilight is vast and the clouds are misty.
Cao Cao stood on the mountain peak and looked into the distance, and it could be seen that the city of Luoyang was majestic and the palace was magnificent.
He thought to himself: Will I have a chance to stay in the palace?
This North Palace is where the emperor and his concubines live!
The people who live here are called people!
~~
He thought to himself: Yuan Shao is secretly trying to attract contacts.
And I, on the other hand, am still being kind to the people and loving the people.
Who did the two of us do it right? Who did it wrong?
In the future, can Yuan Shao's connections now be used by him?
And I, who win the hearts of the people, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
It's a pity that the place where I have won the hearts of the people is still too small.
If I can defend a county and assassinate a state, it will be terrible.
Well, I've got to go in the direction of the state.
I have to become the county governor as soon as possible, and then become the governor of the state as soon as possible.
~~
Cao Cao led the horse and slowly searched for the name of He Feng's tomb.
Finally, he found He Feng's tomb.
He put the reins around the neck of the red rabbit horse and let the horse forage for food on its own.
He took down the freshly killed chicken and placed it in front of He Feng's grave.
In an instant, his tears couldn't help but wash down.
He leaned over to arrange the wine, inserted the incense, and bowed to He Feng's tomb.
Then, he took out his coarse cloth and rags, spread them on the ground, and sat in front of He Feng's tomb, dripping with tears, telling the bits and pieces of his acquaintance and love with He Feng, and toasting and sprinkling wine in front of the tomb from time to time.
~~
Whoosh!
Suddenly, there was a movement in the woods, and three arrows were shot at Cao Cao's vest.
However, Cao Cao's body protection divine skill naturally reacted.
Three arrows were missed, but they fell with their clothes.
The strength of the arrow is as great as the rebound.
Cao Cao didn't feel any pain.
However, he sensed that someone was attacking him, so he slapped him backhand.
Disheveled!
The man was on fire, screaming and wailing.
~~
Cao Cao got up and turned around to look, and found that the person who attacked him, the person who killed him, and the person who was on fire turned out to be He Jin.
He hurriedly grabbed the dragon and grabbed the void.
A strong wind swept towards Hejin.
The wind was like a whirlpool of waves in the deep sea.
Even a ship will be swept up, tossed, and overturned by this whirlpool.
~~
Cao Cao swirled He Jin with the palm wind again, and took He Jin to rotate along Cao Cao's periphery, so that the fire on He Jin's body was extinguished.
He Jin's guards were all scared.
They were all squatting in the bushes, trembling and unable to walk, crawl, or get up. Cao Cao's dragon capture skills are too mysterious.
~~
Cao Cao exclaimed: "Brother He? How could it be you? ”
He Jin's clothes were burned and his beard was burned off.
His body burned and his skin festered.
He threw away the waste bow and arrows, and then cried out in pain: "What? Isn't it possible? I have come to worship my sister, what does it have to do with you? ”
Cao Cao retorted: "But you don't have to ask for my life, do you? It was you who attacked me first and shot me with arrows. Fortunately, I have the ability to protect the body, otherwise, I would have died, and I am afraid that I would have been secretly buried by you. Those who kill pigs are ruthless enough! But I'm not a pig! You can't go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife. Do you think you're already with Yuan Benchu now? Just have no scruples? Murder and arson, dare to do anything? I tell you, without my support, your sister would never have been favored for a long time in the palace. Hum! You have Yuan Benchu's support, what's the use? Yuan Benchu has no official position now, can he enter the palace to find Your Majesty and let Your Majesty favor your sister? ”
He Jin was stunned.
~~
Because He Lian did fall out of favor again at this time.
She hadn't seen the emperor for almost a year.
The current emperor Liu Hong, who is drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty all day long.
No matter how beautiful He Lian is, he will get tired of staying by her pillow for half a year.
What's more, in the palace, He Lian is not necessarily the most beautiful.
Moreover, there are beauties entering the palace every year.
The He family has lost ground again.
Zhang Rang can influence the emperor to flop for a while, but not to control the emperor for a long time.
He didn't dare to do that.
~~
No, it's almost the New Year, and He Jin also remembered that he had to burn incense for his sister He Feng and toast a bowl of wine, hoping that his sister could help the He family in the spirit of heaven.
Unexpectedly, they met Cao Cao.
Therefore, the ruthless He family wanted to plot against Cao Cao.
They also hated Cao Cao to death.
~~
With Cao Cao's martial arts cultivation, you will know if there is a slight disturbance.
However, he was intoxicated with grief at this time, immersed in the bits and pieces of love between him and He Feng, so he didn't feel that someone was coming.
And, when someone comes, they will kill him.
If the person who attacked him was not He Jin, Cao Cao would definitely let him be burned to death.
~~
He Jin was stunned and asked, "How do you know about my sister?" Are you in touch with him? You want to kill my big sister again? ”
Cao Cao knew that he was uneducated, had never studied, and was unreasonable, so he said coldly: "If the He family needs my help, you can send someone to Dunqiu to deliver the letter." If you don't need my help, don't talk nonsense about seeing me here today. Otherwise, there may be a fire in the He family. Now the wind is high and dry, and I don't know which night, the He family was burned down by fire in their sleep. ”
As he spoke, he turned away, but his fingers flicked together.
~~
Five wisps of sword qi struck.
Five white lights flickered.
In the woods, the five men just stood up tremblingly, and they all had piercing their foreheads, splattering blood on their backs, and falling down on their backs, without looking at them.
They are all He Jin's guards.
However, Cao Cao's appearance here can't be talked nonsense by them, and they can't spread it to them.
Otherwise, it will be Cao Cao who will die.
~~
He Jin was so frightened that he fell to his knees, oozing cold sweat all over his body, and almost fainted.
He shivered and peed his pants again.
A sharp gust of mountain wind blew sharply, and the branches of the trees rattled.
He Jin wet his pants, and his clothes were also tattered because of the fire just now.
The cold wind blew, and he felt chills for a while, and then he came back to his senses.
He hurriedly lit his torches, drew his sword and dug a pit, buried the body, and then hurried down the hill to find his carriage, which he drove into the city and home.
At this time, the city gates were closed and the drawbridge was retracted.
After He Jin went home, he hurriedly bathed and changed his clothes, and then invited his father He Zhen to his study to discuss important matters.
He whispered about meeting Cao Cao today to worship his sister He Feng, and said that Cao Cao could help his sister He Lian gain the emperor's favor.
If this is the case, the He family can gain power again.
Otherwise, He Lian will be abolished, and the He family will also be abolished.
Now in this world, as long as you go out, you have to give gifts at every turn.
Where did the He family get so much money?
The only, the fastest money, is that her sister He Lian won the emperor's favor.
There is no other way.
Otherwise, our family will have to go back to Wancheng to kill pigs.
~~
He Zhen didn't say anything, and he didn't know how to express his position.
In the past six months, every time He Lian went back to her parents' house, she was empty-handed.
He Zhen noticed his daughter's embarrassment.
But what can be done?
He Lian's money all relied on rewards from the emperor.
Moreover, He Lian also scored some money to pay tribute to Zhang Rang.
It's not easy for my daughter!
