Could it really be her? Although Cao Cao was eighty percent sure, he still couldn't believe that he would meet the Ninth Princess, the "number one beauty in the world," in such a place! But even so, this answer still made the cells in his whole body excited, and he couldn't wait to see her again. For some reason, at this moment, he was not even worried that Manjoo would reveal his whereabouts, because he had a gut feeling that she would definitely not!

Thinking of the previous conversation between the two, if he had known that Prince Fu Cheng was Qiao Manzhu's father, then he would not have said that he had assassinated Prince Fu Cheng. Cao Cao patted his head in annoyance, now he really regretted it.

How did Manzhu, who had returned to Tianyuanju safely, know that she had sneakily, panicked, and sneakily pulled out a few pieces of clothing from the closet in the third prince's room and stuffed them into the package, and her identity had been completely exposed.

Cao Cao waited for another day in such eagerness, and the next day, Qiao Manzhu finally came, as soon as she came, she took out the contents of the package and put it on the ground, and without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, she hurriedly said, "This red bottle has one in the morning and one in the evening, and so does this green bottle." And this ointment, which you apply to the wound, once every two hours. In addition, these rations should be enough for several days. ”

Cao Cao, who had already guessed Manzhu's identity, had already held back his stomach and wanted to say something to Manzhu, but at this moment he finally interjected, "Miss Qiao, why do you keep wearing a veil?

Manzhu, who was explaining the matter, suddenly stopped, she didn't understand why Cao Cao suddenly said this, she smiled softly, "General Cao, don't get me wrong, it's not like this." ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao said meaningfully.

Seeing that he didn't believe him, Manju sighed and said, "The reason why I want to wear a veil is because my face is ...... My face hurts and I don't want to scare anyone. ”

"Hurt?" Cao Cao was startled, "What's the matter? Who hurt you?" At this moment, he had an urge to kill.

"It's all in the past, so don't mention it. ”

"I don't know if Miss Qiao has ever promised to be married?" Cao Cao knew that the Ninth Princess gave birth to a little prince for the regent, named Liu Tianming, and the full moon wine at that time was a sensation all over the world. At the moment, he just wanted to confirm his guess. On the one hand, he wanted her to be the Nine Princesses, because that would prove his inferences correct, but on the other hand, he didn't want her to be the Nine Princesses, because he wanted to have her.

"Huh?" Manjoo clearly didn't understand why he was asking this.

In order to avoid Manzhu's suspicions, Cao Cao wanted to know the answer very much in his heart, but he still pretended to be relaxed on the surface, "I just asked casually, if Miss Qiao is inconvenient to say, I don't ask." ”

Manzhu stood up and patted away the fallen leaves and dust on his body, "I have already married, and I already have a son," Manzhu unconsciously stroked her flat lower abdomen, her eyes full of happiness, "and in a few months, he will have a little brother or a little sister." ”

Manzhu didn't see Cao Cao's clenched fists, let alone the loss in his heart, he almost used all his strength to make his voice sound normal, "Yes! That's great, by the way, what's your son's name?"

When it came to her son, Manzhu was even more unguarded, and she said proudly, "Tianming, my son's name is Liu Tianming." He is the smartest and cutest kid in the world. ”

"His name is Tianming, Tianming, Tianming...... Bright...... It's a good name, a good name. Cao Cao lowered his head and muttered to himself, at this moment the last bit of hope in his heart was shattered, and only one voice was left repeating constantly: she is really the Nine Princesses, she is really the Nine Princesses, she is really the Nine Princesses......

Manzhu didn't notice Cao Cao's abnormality, she looked at the night sky outside, a little anxious, "Oh no, I've been out for too long." I have to go back, General Cao, I may not have a chance to see you again when I go back this time, please take care. ”

When Cao Cao heard that Manzhu might not come again, he immediately raised his head, "Miss Qiao...... "Will we meet again?" Unfortunately, he couldn't say the second half of the sentence.

"What?"

Cao Cao's lips moved, and finally he said, "Be careful on the road." ”

"Good. Don't worry, I'll come to see you again if I have the chance. ”

"Joe......"

Cao Cao wanted to say something, but unfortunately Manzhu had already run into the night.

After Manzhu left, Cao Cao sat on the ground decadently like a general who had lost a battle, not moving, with only a few clothes, he guessed Manzhu's identity, and now it is confirmed that his inference is completely correct, he should be moved and happy. But at this moment, he was not happy at all, and his heart had fallen into the deepest trough.

Their ability to recognize is providence, which is a strange fate arranged by God.

The fate is determined by heaven, and the part is man-made.

He is already a group of wives and concubines, and he has not done much to rob ** and take concubines, even if Manzhu has married someone else, even if she already has a child, even if she has someone else's child in her belly, even if her face has been injured and ruined, he doesn't care, he just wants to get her.

However, if she is the wife of ordinary people, it is just that, it is not the wife of ordinary people, but the wives and concubines of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and he will not hesitate to send troops to attack the city and directly rob people. But she was the regent's woman, and she was the regent's only woman. It is more difficult and dangerous to snatch a woman from the hands of the regent than it is to snatch a woman from the emperor, not only because the regent holds the millions of troops of the imperial government and the Eastern Han Empire, but also because of his unfathomable martial arts cultivation. The first two emperors had died strangely, and according to his inference, the reason why they were deposed by the regent was because they had beaten him for the idea of beloved concubines.

At this time, Manzhu was unwary of him, he could have used force on her, but he didn't want to do this to her, and he couldn't do anything when he thought of her clean and pure eyes.

He had too much to bear with her.

Cao Cao clenched his fists, his eyes deep and determined, he said to himself: no matter how long it takes, no matter what means are used, one day, he wants her to willingly surrender to him and be his woman.

The medicine sent by Qiao Manzhu was really effective, and after only a few days, most of the injuries on his body had healed. She really hasn't come back for the past few days. He began to worry about her, and he missed her more, and he wanted to see her, and he wanted to see her all the time.

On this day, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cave, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that the person who came was not Qiao Manzhu, he drew out his sword, and was on guard carefully, and after a while, a woman's voice came from outside, "Cao Gongzi, Cao Gongzi, the slave maid is Miss Qiao's personal maid Chunxiang, are you there?" He heard it, this was the voice that called her in the forest on the day he and Qiao Manzhu met.

Cao Cao relaxed his vigilance, and then slammed his sword into the scabbard: Miss Qiao's maid? He felt a little lost in his heart, "You come in." ”

Chunxiang pulled out the vines and got in, she glanced at Cao Cao carefully, just one glance, her eyes suddenly lit up, and blurted out, "It's not three...... Three...... Fortunately, she took back the most important word "Wangye" in time, she would not be mistaken, it was indeed the clothes of the third prince, Miss actually gave the prince's clothes to this man!

A sneer hung on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth, "Miss Chunxiang, what did you want to say just now? Whose clothes is this?"

Chunxiang knew that she was talking too much, so she hurriedly straightened up and bowed, "Let Cao Gongzi smile." The slave maid was ordered by the young lady to bring medicinal herbs and food to the childe. ”

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth raised slightly, she was worthy of being a first-class maid in the palace, she was really quick to react and knew how to observe etiquette, Cao Cao was silent, "How is your young lady?"

"Back to Mr. Cao, Miss has been feeling a little unwell recently. ”

"What's wrong with her?" Cao Cao asked eagerly, "Is she okay?"

Chunxiang glanced at Cao Cao a little strangely, but then returned to normal, "Thank you Gongzi Cao for your concern, my young lady is fine, but the joy is very serious, and her body is a little weak, and the doctor said that she will be fine after a while." I wonder how Cao Gongzi's injuries are?"

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's all right." ”

Chunxiang put down the things she brought, and she saw the scar on the back of his hand, "I heard that Miss said that Cao Gongzi is a swordsman?"

Cao Cao let out a faint "um", it seems that Miss Qiao has hidden her identity as a prisoner from her personal maids, and her gratitude to Manzhu can't help but increase a little more.

Chunxiang saluted again, "Before the slave came out, the young lady specially explained that the slave and maid should go back quickly." I also asked Gongzi Cao to take care, and the slave and maid took their leave. ”

"Miss Chunxiang, please help me convey a word to your young lady. ”

"Young Master Cao, please speak, the slave must convey it. ”

"Cherish it more, and there will be a period later. ”

Chunxiang was startled, "Gongzi Cao, are you leaving?"

Cao Cao smiled mysteriously, "Miss Chunxiang has made this trip, Miss Chunxiang, please be careful on the road." ”

Chunxiang was given goosebumps by Cao Cao's smile, she always felt that this smile was not as simple as it seemed, at this moment she owed herself again, and walked out of the tree hole and returned to Tianyuanju to return to her life.

This is the process of Cao Cao and Manzhu's acquaintance.

At that time, Cao Cao was the most embarrassed, but he didn't know that that it was also the most difficult time in Manzhu's life.

Cao Cao never saw Manzhu's true face, but this did not reduce his love for Manzhu in the slightest. He always felt that this woman was still like a huge mystery. He was willing to spend his life deciphering this fascinating mystery.

An ambitious and ambitious man struggles, either for the country or for the beauty. And Cao Cao is half for the sake of having both.

It is more difficult to snatch a woman from the Lord Regent than from the Emperor. Because the real power of the imperial court and the millions of troops in the country were all in the hands of the regent, it took him fifteen years, a full fifteen years, to realize the deepest wish of his heart.

In the past fifteen years, he has paid close attention to her news, he knows that she later gave birth to several sons and a daughter for the regent, he knows that the regent took her and her children to the county of Qiqi to escape the summer, and he has been gone for many years, he knows that the regent is still very fond of her, and after so many years of marriage, the regent is still the only woman by his side, he knows...... As long as it was about her, he wanted to know, he wanted to know. She is his dream for so many years, and he wants to get this dream, this beautiful dream.

In the past fifteen years, he has not dared to be idle for a day, because he knows that as long as he is lazy for a day, he may be a little later to get her. In order to have her, he wants to defeat the Regent, and he wants to take everything in the Regent's hands into his own hands—his country, his wealth, and, his women!

On this day, a messenger came from outside the barracks, and he brought the token of the Nine Princesses. Seeing this token, Cao Cao's whole heart was agitated, it was the letter she sent, it was her, it was her, it was great, she still remembered him!

Cao Cao couldn't wait to walk towards the messenger, "You came to deliver it on her orders?"

"The grass people see the Prime Minister! ”

Cao Cao snatched the letter from the man's hand, opened the letter in front of the man, glanced at it twice, put the letter on his face and sniffed it, and let out a sigh of admiration in his mouth, "This is her word, it's so beautiful, just like herself...... It's fragrant, it's the aroma of orchids, it's her taste. With that, Cao Cao began to read voraciously, his eyes glowing like a wolf staring at food. But gradually, the heat of his eyes cooled down, and there was a sly glow.

"The next task has been completed, and the mother is still waiting to go back to her life, so she will leave first. ”

"Ninth Princess, is she okay now?" Cao Cao asked suddenly.

"Niangniang, she is fine, thank you for Prime Minister Cao's concern. Cao Cao looked down at the letter in his hand and muttered, "Oh, that's it, okay, okay, then you go down." ”

"Yes, in the next farewell. ”

As soon as the messenger left, Cao Cao's back foot gestured to a guard not far away, and the guard hurriedly trotted over, Cao Cao suppressed his voice and said, "Send a master to follow him, be sure to track the place where the Nine Princesses are located." ”

Soon, the guards brought back the news, confirming that the Nine Princesses were in Yizhou Qiqi County.

He didn't have time to hesitate, he knew that she had written a letter to him, and that she must be in some big trouble, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a strange request.

Cao Cao immediately ordered to gather an army of 100,000 and immediately march towards Yizhou Qiqi County.

This unprepared battle will undoubtedly be questioned by the generals in the army, and a general is anxious, "Everyone in the world knows that the regent Ninth Prince is in the middle of the war, and if you suddenly overwhelm the territory with such a large army, the world will think that you are going to rebel!"

"Anti?" Cao Cao sneered, "Are you still afraid of being called 'anti'!?"

"It's the last general who has lost his word. However, the last general still has to ask the prime minister to think twice, this rash dispatch of troops may be criticized!"

Cao Cao said to himself, "She must be in trouble, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly written such a letter to Benxiang." ”

"She?"

The general finally understood what was going on - the prime minister originally sent troops just for a woman!

"She is a dream of the Honxiang, who has been preparing for fifteen years to get this dream, and is about to get it. But now that she is about to be shattered, her true appearance will not allow such a thing to happen. Benxiang will do whatever it takes, and he wants to get her!"

The general hesitated for a moment, but finally his loyalty to Cao Cao prevailed over his own reason, "In this case, even if the general is broken, he must help the prime minister fulfill your dream." ”

Cao Cao's army was really well-trained, in less than half an hour, the army of 100,000 had been assembled, Cao Cao gave an order, Yuan Rong set off, the drums shook the sky, mighty, stretching for ten miles......

Cao Cao's army did not camp, the soldiers did not take off their armor, and they rushed towards Qiqi County non-stop, and along the way, they did not encounter any obstacles, and he thought that it was because of the suddenness of his troops, and the regent did not have time to deal with it. But when he surrounded the county, he found that he had been fooled, the praying mantis caught the cicada, the yellow finch was behind, just when he sent troops, the regent transferred the army in time, surrounded the county, only left them a big mouth, and when he Cao army came in, he put the mouth away in time, and came to a trick to invite the king into the urn, although he surrounded the county, but the middle and outside the county were all the regent's army, and they had entered the ambush circle.

Until this moment, Cao Cao saw the gap between his regent, whether it was strategy or marching array, he was not the regent's opponent, he wanted to think that the regent only knew how to spend a leisurely life in the county, but he didn't want to, he was just recuperating, and now the regent is strategizing, this time, it is difficult for him to fly with wings.

Just when he fell into despair, a miracle occurred, the army surrounding them outside suddenly withdrew, and the army in Qiqi County suddenly all moved, Cao Cao has always been suspicious, he sent more than a dozen groups of people to reconnoitre, and the result was that the army surrounding him had really withdrawn. At this time, Cao Cao waved his army to attack the city, at this time, there was no soldier to defend the city, he easily entered the city, he directly led the army to the other courtyard where the regent lived, but the courtyard was already empty, where was the regent and the nine princesses.

Cao Cao's bad premonition in his heart was even stronger, he took out the letter written to him by the ninth princess from his arms again, and he sighed, it's late, it's already late. She must have ......

Some people may ask, what did Manzhu write to Cao Cao, and he actually asked Cao Cao to send troops to Qiqi County?

In fact, since Manzhu recovered her memory, she knew the development of history, and she knew that the descendants of the Cao family would eventually ascend the throne and become emperors. Since she met Xu Shao, the head of Shushan, she knew the identity of the World Heritage Hades King, since the World Heritage was reincarnated against the sky because of her, then he should not exist in this world, let alone in the history of mankind. So Manzhu wrote a letter to Cao Cao, asking him to cross out the name of the World Heritage Site, her name, the name of the third prince and the name of the gold ingots from the annals of history after he won the world in the future.

It's just that what Manzhu didn't expect was that Cao Cao, who had only had a few relationships with her, would think about her, and finally sent troops to attack the city because of her letter. After Cao Cao received Manzhu's letter, he knew that Manzhu had an accident, and he didn't want his dream of many years to be shattered.

A thought of lovesickness, a thought of Buddha, a thought of calamity, a thought of demons.

After the death of Manzhu, Cao Cao grieved for a long time, and then he transformed the grief in his heart into full anger, and in the next few years, he personally led the army to frantically attack the city and plunder the land, and in 205, Cao Cao conquered Jizhou and Qingzhou. In 206, Cao Cao defeated Gao Gan and pacified Pingzhou. In 207, Cao Cao made an expedition to Wuhuan. In 208, in the first battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's vitality was greatly damaged. In 211, Cao Cao pacified Liangzhou. In 213, Cao Cao was made Duke of Wei. In 216, Cao Cao was crowned King of Wei. In the first month of 220, Cao Cao died of illness in Luoyang at the age of sixty-six. In October of the same year, Cao Pi replaced the Han Dynasty and established himself as the emperor, with the country name Wei, and posthumously honored Cao Cao as the Wu Emperor, and the temple name Taizu.

After Cao Pi ascended the throne, according to his father's secret suicide note, he burned all the information files of the ninth prince Liu Shiyi, the ninth princess Qiao Manzhu, the Taifu Liu Shiying and the richest man in the world, Jin Yuanbao, and crossed out their names from the annals.

Since then, there have been no deeds of Liu Shiyi, Qiao Manzhu, Liu Shiying, and Jin Yuanbao in history. But history is not only in the annals, but also in the word of mouth from generation to generation, if you go to Luoyang, Chang'an, Yunnan, Yanjin (sour date) and other places, you will also hear from the older generation a story about the ancient prince, the princess and the richest man in the world at that time. As for whether the content of the story is true or not, it is up to the reader to judge.
