Chen Gong and Cao Mengde have been friends for many years.

However, since Cao Mengde led the Yanzhou pastor and gradually took control of Yanzhou, in the course of governance, some of Chen Gong's behaviors and biases gradually deviated from Cao Mengde's wishes, which made Cao Mengde quite unhappy.

Just like Chen Gong refuted Cao Mengde's 'regardless of origin'.

It's not the first time.

Cao Mengde agrees with Zhao Yu's idea, maybe Chen Gong's thinking is really old. thought that without the family gate valve, Cao Mengde would not be able to succeed.

Zhao Yu's meaning is very clear, he is to take the initiative to be a promoter. And it was Chen Gong who was chosen.

For Cao Mengde, it doesn't matter much. He felt that if Chen Gong really went that far, he would definitely let Chen Gong fail, and let Chen Gong see that he didn't need the family gate valve, and he was as good as Cao Mengde.

At that time, Chen Gong had nothing to say, and he would just come back and do things.

However, Cao Mengde did not have the ability to know beforehand after all, and he probably never thought that in the original history, not only Chen Gong deviated, but even Zhang Miao also deviated from him. Even if he defeated Lu Bu and focused on Yanzhou, Chen Gong was unwilling to do anything for him even if he died.

Many of these things cannot be explained in a few words.

In Zhao Yu's case, it doesn't matter much.

He and Chen Gong only nodded to each other, that's all.

To be honest, even if he and Cao Mengde were secretly pushing behind their backs, if Chen Gong didn't have that kind of mind in his heart, he would not rebel. He rebelled, which shows that he had that kind of mind. Zhao Yu just pushed secretly, but he didn't force him. As long as there is no resistance to Cao Mengde's ideas, then there is no problem.

It's like Zhao Yu put a wad of money on the table, left by himself, and left Chen Gong next to the table. If Chen Gong doesn't take it, it's no problem. But if he took it, then he couldn't blame Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu was slightly drunk, and then left from Cao Mengde's state mansion.

Back home, Cai Yan was playing the piano. Ding ding dong, like flowing water in the mountains, the hearts of those who listen are clear.

Zhao Yu somewhat liked this feeling, drunk and slightly drunk, without using mana, and without luck and blood to clear it. In such a state, listening to the sound of the piano, under the night sky, it is very good.

Following the sound of the piano, I just came to the backyard. An oil lamp, a couch, Cai Yan Hengqin's knees, focused appearance, intoxicating.

"Akihime still hasn't rested?"

The sound of the piano was abrupt, Cai Yan turned around, and saw Zhao Yu standing in the corner.

She shook her head: "It's just that I was a little upset in my heart, so I stroked the qin." ”

Zhao Yu nodded understandingly, walked over and said, "Life is not familiar, and it is normal for people to be unfamiliar." But there's no need to wander, it's quiet. ”

The two sat on the ground, without a word, and they were very close.

Zhao Yu found that he was slightly moved in his heart.

The next day, Cao Mengde came to Zhao Yu early in the morning and talked to Cai Yan about the past.

Cao Mengde said: "I am also a teacher and friend with Cai Bojiao, Zhao Ji has arrived in Puyang, I am the landlord, and I should try my best to entertain him." I have a courtyard, in the north of the city, which is quiet and elegant, just right for Zhao Ji. Mr. Zhao's yard is too narrow, Zhao Ji might as well move there. All the things you need at home are ready, just move in. ”

Zhao Yu also bowed slightly: "I'm going to the other courtyard today, I don't have much time to entertain Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji might as well listen to Meng De's words." ”

However, to Zhao Yu's surprise, Cai Yan refused, she Yingying first saluted Cao Mengde, and then said: "Cao Gong has an old relationship with his father, but he has no old relationship with the little girl." It's really inconvenient to disturb. ”

Then he said to Zhao Yu: "Last night, I heard Mr. say that the courtyard is quiet, far away from the city, the little woman is quiet, I don't know if I can go to Mr.'s courtyard to have a look?"

On the side, Cao Mengde laughed silently, and winked at Zhao Yu, the meaning was obvious: Look, I'm not wrong, right?

Zhao Yu glared at him fiercely, feeling a little happy in his heart, and just nodded: "It's okay." "Then I won't bother. Cao Mengde smiled and said, "I'm very busy, so I won't send you sir." When I have some time, I will go to the Taihe Courtyard to observe and observe. ”

He walked to the door and turned back again: "The management of the river, and the matter that was discussed in detail last night..." Zhao Yu said: "I can't forget it." ”

Cao Mengde smiled and walked away.

The two were speechless at each other, and there was a bit of an awkward atmosphere. A flush flashed on Cai Yan's jade-like face.

Zhao Yu touched his nose and shouted, "Lao Zhang, are you ready!?"

"It's all right, host!"

So the group went out of the city.

Originally, the annex was in the mountains and wilderness, but now a road has been opened. Far away in the shade of the forest, the corners of the eaves are faintly visible.

Guan Hai came here two months ago and took on the responsibility of nursing the hospital on his own. More than twenty will descend from it. Seeing Zhao Yu's carriage coming, Guan Hai hurriedly caught up.

"Sir. ”

Zhao Yu sat on the wheel and nodded, but did not speak, raised his chin at the courtyard, and the carriage did not stop.

Guan Hai and the others followed the frame around the frame, all the way over the pass between the two mountain bags, and the courtyard appeared in front of them.

said that it was another courtyard, but in fact, when Zhao Yu designed the drawings, he incorporated some Taoist styles. But if it is a Taoist temple, it is not. It is roughly equivalent to a collection of Taoist temples and manors.

After the pass, the road under your feet winds and is paved with bluestone slabs, stretching to the gate of the courtyard. The courtyard is surrounded by a courtyard wall, and the courtyard wall is also made of bluestone. The vermilion gate, the high hanging plaque, the steep eaves, and two huge bluestone unicorns are on the left and right, which is quite atmospheric.

It's just that it has just been built, and I always feel that something is missing. It's winter again, giving people a feeling of depression.

Someone had already gone to the other hospital to report the news, Xiaochun Xiaoqiu and Wang Po and the family, as well as Zhang Ling, who had no sense of existence next to him, all came to the hospital to greet him.

The carriage stopped in front of the courtyard, Zhao Yu jumped out of the carriage, and first looked up at the plaque hanging on the gate: "Taihe Courtyard - Cao Mengde." ”

So he smiled and shook his head: "Okay, let's all go in." ”

Everyone scattered on both sides, and Zhao Yu took the lead and stepped into the newly built courtyard. The layout of the annex is very simple, divided into five parts, according to the five elements of the direction of the height of the uneven. It's not that Zhao Yu is unwilling to design something more powerful and more complicated. The drawings of the annex are actually designed according to Zhao Yu's own understanding of the formation method in the real world at this stage.

His current ability can be able to arrange some basic Five Elements Formations, which are more complex and have higher requirements for materials. What's more, it's just a separate hospital, and it doesn't need to be so complicated.

The annex covers an area of not small, front and back, left and right, with a radius of more than two miles. It is located between three mountain bags, and it is high and low according to the topography, and it is scattered.

Now, this annex and the three mountain bags surrounding the annex are just a framework for the time being. The formation hasn't had time to be laid out yet. Zhao Yu took a trip to Nanyang, and collected a lot of jade, and before the end of the year, he should be able to complete the final and most important arrangement of the courtyard.

After turning around, Zhao Yu was satisfied.

Then it was to arrange accommodation and the like, mainly Cai Yan.

"Let's live in Kinoin. Zhao Yu said: "The wood master is angry and good at raising." It is just right to stay in Ki-in. ”

Cai Yan smiled lightly and nodded. Zhao Yu summoned Lao Zhang: "Take Miss Zhaoji to the wooden courtyard..."

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

Xiao Chun looked at it for a while, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said, "I know the wooden courtyard, Miss Zhaoji, the wooden courtyard is fine..."

Cai Yan's maid Xiaoya is also lively, and she mingles with Xiaochun in three or two sentences, and she takes Cai Yan to the wooden courtyard with her on Twitter.

Cai Bo looked at all this with a smile, and said to Zhao Yu: "Little Lao'er is also an idle person, Mr. Zhao can tell him if he has something." ”

Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Uncle Cai is a guest, how can it be like this? Lao Zhang, you take Uncle Cai down to settle down first." ”

"Yes, host. ”

Zhao Yu said to Wang Po again: "It's almost noon, prepare a hearty meal." ”

"The owner is relieved. Wang Po smiled: "Fish, meat, vegetables and fruits, ready-made in the kitchen." ”

Guan Hai and others are left.

Zhao Yu said to Guan Hai at this time: "Be my nursing home, but I won't wronged you." There is one thing that will be done for me within half a month. ”

"Please sir. ”

"Go and find five kinds of fruit trees, thirty-six of each. Within half a month, the tree pits left in the five courtyards of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth will be filled. ”

When Guan Hai heard this, it was not difficult, and he arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask Mr., sapling or tree?" "Tree is the best." Zhao Yu said.

Guan Hai said: "Oh." ”

Then only Zhang Ling was left.

Zhao Yu walked slowly to the earth courtyard, Zhang Ling followed beside her, Zhao Yu asked her, "Are you still used to it?"

Zhang Ling stroked the hair around his small ear and nodded lightly: "Get used to it." ”

"Just get used to it. Zhao Yu said: "In my courtyard, no one will say anything and point out. As for your peaceful way, it is just vain, and you should let it go. ”

"The concubine body has long been put down. ”

Zhang Ling lowered his head and chuckled.

"It's best to put it down. Zhao Yu was noncommittal: "In my place, there is nothing specific to do, you can do whatever you want, whatever you want." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Then why are you following me?"

Zhang Ling sneered: "Didn't Mr. say that he wanted a concubine to serve with him?"

Zhao Yu smiled: "You are yourself." ”

After a pause, he said: "Zhao Ji is new, she may be a little uncomfortable, if you have time, you can talk to her more." ”

Don't look at Zhao Yu now going out of the city to live in another courtyard, but he really has a lot of things.

Not to mention the improvement of the annex, it will take some time to govern the river, compile enlightenment books, and so on.

After lunch, Zhao Yu went into the earth courtyard alone and ordered not to disturb him, so he took out a pile of jade from the small world of Chaos Beads and began to make the formation base talisman.

Pick up the jade, with a wisp of sharp edge on your fingertips, draw horizontally and vertically, and disintegrate a piece of jade in three or five breaths. In addition to the leftovers, a piece of jade the size of a grapefruit was unraveled by him to create six jade plaques two inches long, one and a half inches wide, and half an inch thick.

Jade is the essence of the soil, the soil has virtue, carries everything, and is able to accept the heaven and earth in it.

Jade is the most basic material for making talismans.

Ordinary Taoist priests, using yellow paper cinnabar to draw talismans, are almost all deceptive things.

Yellow paper cinnabar, no matter how ordinary it is, how can it carry the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth?
