The bright moonlight decorates the night sky of Xudu, and also decorates this lonely land. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

The vast night sky is like the boundless transparent sea, quiet, vast, and mysterious, and the dense stars, like small sparks rippling in the sea, twinkling, dancing with tiny points of light, farmland, houses, trees, in quiet sleep, clothed in silver tulle.

Late at night, Cao Cao sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, looking at the bright moonlight sky, fiddling with a delicate juju in his hand.

"In the past cold food festival, this prime minister's mansion was the most lively. My Chong'er led his subordinates to kick and fight cocks together. But this year's Cold Food Festival, the Prime Minister's Mansion is dead. Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't be sad, the little boy is in Japan, the most filial to the prime minister, the little boy is in the spirit of the sky, and I don't want to see the prime minister like this. Xu Chu persuaded.

"In a few days, it will be the Qingming Festival, and I want to go to pay tribute in person. Xu Chu, you prepare some favorite objects for me and burn more for Chong'er. ”

"Command, it's not too early for the prime minister, and the lady told the prime minister to rest early. ”

Cao Cao listened to his wife's words and did not dare to disobey. Xu Chu served Cao Cao and went into the inner room to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Yu waited anxiously for Cao Cao in the council hall, and after a while, Xu Chu escorted Cao Cao to the council hall.

"Zhong De, what is the important matter of coming to my prime minister's mansion early in the morning?" Cao Cao asked.

"What the prime minister entrusted his subordinates to find out, the minister has now found out. Cheng Yu said.

"Have you found out the whereabouts of this group of people who disappeared in the Xu Capital?" Cao Cao was shocked, and this matter was not trivial.

"Yes, Prime Minister. The subordinates have found out that there are many unknown people in the mansion of Geng Ji and Wei Huang recently, and their actions are very suspicious. ”

"It's this stubborn old thief again, it seems that the "Edict of Clothes and Belts" has not given them enough warning?" Cao Cao said angrily.

"Prime Minister, the minister thought that he should go with illness as soon as possible to prevent changes. Cheng Yu persuaded.

Cao Cao pondered for a long time, and said to Cheng Yu: "In a few days, it will be the Qingming Festival, and I will go to worship my son." instructed the school government to publicize this matter, so that the entire Xu Capital knew about it. ”

"Prime minister, isn't this an opportunity for those old thieves?" Xu Chu couldn't help but say.

"Rather than letting those little people who only stab me in the back all day long beat me up all day long, it's better to choose the right time and place and people for myself. ”

"Prime Minister, this is a good opportunity to catch them all. ”

"Don't worry, the prime minister, we will fight to protect the prime minister. Xu Chu said.

"Okay, with my tiger marquis, my heart is very peaceful. Go down and get ready. Cao Cao said.

"The subordinates receive the order. ”

"Zhong De, wait. Cao Cao suddenly stopped Cheng Yudao.

"What else is the Prime Minister?"

"A few days ago, the border guard will send someone to send over several boxes of fruit cakes, just in time for this Qingming season, you instructed the school government to distribute all these fruit cakes to the ministers of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"Commanded. ”

Cheng Yu received the order, instructed his subordinates to receive the fruit crisp, and left the prime minister's mansion, but he couldn't help but make a difficulty. These are only three boxes of fruit cakes, but there are dozens of subordinates in the Prime Minister's Mansion, not to mention dozens of people, which is not enough. After looking closely, I saw three big words written on the box, "Yihe Crisp".

"Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?" Cheng Yu couldn't help but wonder.

The attendants shook their heads, not understanding the meaning.

"Zhong De, what are you doing here, why is your face so difficult?" I saw Yang Xiu coming towards him.

"Just came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what is Dezu doing at this time?" Cheng Yu asked rhetorically.

"Zijian Gongzi, I have made a new poem, and I am specially invited to appreciate it. What is this?" Yang Xiu asked, pointing to the wooden box of his entourage.

"Dezu came just in time, and I have something to ask Dezu for. The prime minister asked me to distribute these boxes of fruit cakes to the ministers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but there are dozens of ministers in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so how should this be divided?"

When Yang Xiu heard this, he looked at the three words on the box, thought about it for a while, and understood the truth, so he opened the box, took out a piece of fruit crisp, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious. Yang Xiu couldn't help but suck his finger again.

"Dezu, what is this doing?" Cheng Yu said angrily.

"The prime minister clearly said, 'One person, one bite of crisp', how can I go against the prime minister's intentions?" pointed to the three words on the box and walked away.

"I see. Cheng Yu looked at those three words, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, and secretly admired: "Yang Dezu's talent is ten times better than mine." ”

The night is quiet, all the sounds are silent, Yang Xiu's mansion, the servants have long gone to sleep, only Yang Xiu is still reading at night, everyone only knows how Yang Xiu is agile and intelligent, but they don't know what kind of effort Yang Xiu has put in behind this.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew through the window not far away, and the faint candle flame couldn't help but sway with the wind. Yang Xiu helped the candle flame, put down the book, got up and walked to the window, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency visited the Humble House late at night, I don't know what to see?"

Looking back at the candlelight, a man in black suddenly appeared where he was sitting, and against the background of the candlelight, a bronze mask still looked eerie and terrifying, it was the "East Emperor" of the Yin and Yang family.

Donghuang picked up Yang Xiu's book and glanced at it, the book was extremely worn, obviously due to frequent reading. Seeing that it was "Zuo Chuan", he said to Yang Xiu quietly: "Since you are familiar with "Zuo Chuan", you should know what Confucius said, "Birds choose wood, how can wood choose birds", the ancestors are still like this, let alone you?

Yang Xiu was so shrewd, he had already guessed the meaning of this person when he heard this, and he looked at it carefully through the candlelight, and couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency is the Eastern Emperor of the Yin and Yang Family? ”

Being choked by Yang Xiu, the Eastern Emperor couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but he still held back his temperament and asked: "Your intelligence is inseparable from mine, instead of being a master under Cao Cao, why don't you join us, I will ensure that you are equal to me." How about you and I join forces to make a great difference?"

Yang Xiu laughed and said: "Your Excellency the Eastern Emperor is full of wealth, Bo Gu and the present, since you know the "Zuo Chuan" "birds choose wood, how can wood choose birds", then you must also know the historical record "Tian Dan Lie Biography" "loyal ministers do not matter the two monarchs". The Yin and Yang family has lived for a hundred years, and it has not yet succeeded, and it is shameful to cultivate it. During the several years when Cao Gong raised his army, except for Lu Bu, he pulled Yuan Shao to unify the north, and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the heroes of the world were invincible. The unification of the world is just around the corner, and it is clear who is Jiamu. ”

Donghuang sneered: "Yang Xiu, who is good and who is bad, it is not known at this moment. I can tolerate you, Cao Cao may not, wait until you reach the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, you and I will see you again. ”

As he spoke, the room went dark. Yang Xiu's front was dark, groping for the candle flame in the room, and the Eastern Emperor had already disappeared.
