Chapter 23: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne

Cao Yun came to the outside of Zhang Zixi's room, raised his hand and knocked on the door three times. After waiting for a while, without any reaction, Cao Yun knocked on the door again, and said at the same time: "Brother Zhang is me." ”

When Zhang Zixi in the room heard Cao Yun's voice, he stopped sobbing, hurriedly opened the door, and looked straight at Cao Yun.

Looking at Zhang Zixi, who was raining with pear blossoms, Cao Yun felt pity, "Why are you crying?" walked into Zhang Zixi's room as he spoke, and sat on a stool at random.

"It's 、、、nothing, it's nothing, it's just that they're all back, you haven't come back yet, I'm just a little worried, you're okay, right?" Zhang Zixi asked with a sob, his face full of worry.

Cao Yun smiled lightly when he heard this, "What is there to worry about, I am very powerful, where it is so easy to have an accident, you don't have to worry." You have to be a big woman, don't look so weak. Cao Yun said comfortingly.

Zhang Zixi smiled when he heard this, pouted and said: "The big woman can't cry, you don't know if the big woman is crying, and I won't let others know that I cry." ”

"Ha Lu Ha. Cao Yun laughed when he saw Zhang Zixi's cute appearance, "It's good if you don't cry, I'm fine, I'll go back to the room first." Cao Yun said and stood up, mainly because he was injured in a few parts of his body, but he needed to rest.

"Are you really okay?" Zhang Zixi asked uneasily, she was also a little observant, and felt that Cao Yun should be injured.

Cao Yun had already walked to the door, and when he heard this, he turned around, "It's okay, you see I'm fine." As he spoke, he made a few movements with both hands, causing Zhang Zixi to laugh toothily.

Cao Yun then walked out of the room, walked to the corner of the floor and bent down, just now he made a few movements and caused several injuries in his body, which was very uncomfortable. Slowly returning to the room, he closed the door and collapsed on the bed, gasping for breath. Cao Yun has been enduring his pain, Yu Ji has been pretending to be as usual in front of him, not showing pain, and he has persisted for so long when he comes back, and now he is finally relieved, but the pain all over his body is up all at once. Cao Yun gritted his teeth, took a few deep breaths, straightened himself on the bed, and slowly fell asleep.

Three days later, that is, the day when the new emperor of the Ming Kingdom ascended the throne, but Cao Yun and Guo Xiao still don't know who the new emperor of Lu Dao is, and they don't know what trick Dong Zhuo is going to play. As soon as it was dawn, Cao Yun woke up, moved his lower limbs, although three days had passed, he still had some slight pain, and he breathed on the bed for a while before slowly turning over and getting up.

"Well, the body is almost recovered, and I will wait to come back after attending the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and enter the hell demon realm to have a good look. Cao Yun thought with some expectation, then got dressed and walked out of the room, walking down the aisle, and heard people in the inn hall downstairs discussing something loudly from a distance.

"Have you heard, the jade seal of the country was stolen, and the Black Eagle Gang was also wiped out overnight, and it is rumored that the people of the Black Eagle Gang stole the jade seal of the country. ”

"Really, this Black Eagle Gang is too bold, they dare to steal the jade seal of the country, has the jade seal been recovered?"

"Not yet, the place where the Black Eagle Gang is located has been turned upside down, but the jade seal of the country has not been found. ”

There was a lot of discussion in the inn hall, Cao Yun came to the inn, and saw Guo Xiao and Pang Shiyuan sitting at a table discussing, and the two waved to him when they saw Cao Yun coming down. Guo Xiao's body has improved a lot since he took the Baicao Pill given by Yu Ji, and his chest disease is almost cured. Guo Xiao learned from Xu Zhu that it was Cao Yun who gave him a pill, and since then he has been grateful to Cao Yun.

"Brother Guo Shiyuan, what's wrong with this heirloom jade seal?" Cao Yun asked after sitting down.

"Brother Cao, now that Luoyang City has spread the word, the jade seal of the country has been stolen by the Black Eagle Gang, and the Black Eagle Gang has also been completely wiped out, but the jade seal of the country has still not been found. Guo Xiao said in a deep voice, the theft of the country's heavy weapon is not a good thing. Even if the Ming Kingdom is destroyed and a new dynasty is established, if there is no jade seal of the country, it will not be orthodox.

Cao Yun frowned when he heard this, and recalled in his mind what Lu Cao said in the Hanpu Mountain Domain, at that time, Lu Cao arrogantly said that the Black Eagle Gang was Sun Li's chess piece arranged in Luoyang, could it be that the theft of the jade seal of the country was done by Sun Li, so Sun Wu should still be in Luoyang City, right?

Guo Xiao saw Cao Yun's thoughtful appearance, and asked out loud, "Brother Cao, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's a little strange, the big tomorrow is really going to tilt, and the country's heavy weapons have been lost. Cao Yun replied with a smile.

"Now that the Ming Dynasty exists in name only, today is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne, but you and I still don't know who the new emperor is, what does Dong Zhuo want to do?" Guo Xiao said coldly, it seems a pity, is the six hundred years of the Ming Dynasty over?

"Dong Zhuo hasn't announced the new monarch yet, I'm afraid it will not be announced until we arrive at the altar of heaven. If it is not announced when it arrives at the altar of heaven, then Dong Zhuo will most likely be the monarch himself. It's just that under the current situation, if he, Dong Zhuo, becomes the emperor, then the princes from all walks of life will definitely raise troops to attack Dong Zhuo first. Cao Yun said.

"What Brother Cao said is that Dong Zhuo will not be so stupid to become the emperor at this time. Pang Shiyuan said.

"Even if Dong Zhuo is not stupid, it is estimated that the princes of all walks of life will find a reason to crusade against him, if he does not crusade against him, how can the princes of the world fight for hegemony, and now the situation seems to be in chaos, but if there are no princes who stand up and dare to be the first in the world, can these princes from all walks of life fight? Guo Xiao shook his head and said.

"Sun Li. At this time, Cao Yun spit out two words.

"Brother Sun Li, Brother Cao is saying that Sun Li will be the first person?" asked Pang Shiyuan.

Cao Yun nodded when he heard this.

"Why did Brother Cao say this?" asked Guo Xiao with some confusion.

"It's just intuition, it's just intuition. Cao Yun said with a smile, and Pang Shiyuan and Guo Xiao also laughed. Although Cao Yun had a smile on his face, various thoughts were swirling in his mind. This Wuzhou is next to Qingzhou, of course, it is also next to Yangzhou Yanzhou, but Yanzhou has Lu Yuan, and Yangzhou Yuan Shu's subordinates are also many fierce generals, and it seems that Qingzhou is the weakest. What's more, Qingzhou is richer than Qingyang Erzhou, if he Sun Li attacks first, I'm afraid that he will choose to attack Qingzhou. And then Lu Cao said at that time that Sun Li was going to attack Qingzhou.

If it is as expected, the jade seal of the country is stolen by Sun Li, then Sun Li must have the great ambition to win the world, such a person will not care too much about moral rules in troubled times, and he hopes to suppress the world with the power of thunder. Thinking of this, Cao Yun's brows furrowed even tighter, and he speculated that if Sun Li dared to be the first in the world, he would attack Qingzhou first.

"Brother Cao, what's wrong?" Pang Shiyuan looked at Cao Yun's frowning appearance and asked relationally.

"I'm thinking about who Sun Li will attack first if he dares to be the world!" Cao Yun said with a soothing eyebrow.

Pang Shiyuan smiled faintly when he heard this, "I think Brother Cao must be really worried about Qingzhou at this time." ”

Cao Yun was happy when he heard this, "Shiyuan is really a wise person. ”

"Lord Cao Xian of Qingzhou is a Confucian, and General Cao Hao Cao is so powerful, how dare Sun Li act rashly. At this time, Guo Xiao said with a smile.

"Brother Guo is really joking. Of course, Cao Yun knew that this Guo Xiao was ridiculing, there is no general in Qingzhou, and if you think about it carefully, only the three of you can use it, which is really embarrassing.

Just as a few people were chatting, the civil officials of the imperial court came to the inn, and they were going to lead Cao Yun Guo Xiao to attend the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor. Cao Yun and Guo Xiao glanced at each other, then stood up and followed the civil official to the imperial palace to worship the altar of heaven.
