On the streets of Xudu, the crowd was bustling, and a car was driving slowly on the street. Cao Cao, who had returned from the early dynasty in the chariot, lifted the curtain, looked at the bustling crowd on the street along the way, looked at the bustling streets of Xudu, and couldn't help laughing proudly in the chariot.

In this world, the war has been raging for decades. The people are not living, the people of Fangyuan are ten households and nine empty, starving all over the wilderness, miserable, but my Cao Cao's painstaking management of Xudu is a prosperous place, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, as if they have forgotten the war outside, all of which depends on my Cao Cao's work. Thinking of this, the haze of the defeat of Chibi couldn't help but be swept away.

Suddenly, I saw a thick smoke rising into the sky at the south gate, and I could smell the smell of something burning in the air from a long distance.

"You go to the south gate and have a look. Cao Cao hurriedly instructed Xu Chu

Xu Chu rode away on a fast horse and came back after a while.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister is not good. There was a fire at the south gate of Xudu. Xu Chu reported outside the chariot.

"What's the panic, just send someone to put out the fire. Cao Cao couldn't help but relax when he heard that it was just a fire.

"Yes, Prime Minister. ”

"This Xu Chu, martial arts is high, brute force, but his brain is tendoned. Cao Cao couldn't help but smile. I thought, "It's simple-minded, it's better for me." In the future, the unification of the world will be inseparable from such people. ”

"But can I Cao Cao see the day when the world will be unified?" Thinking of this, Cao Cao's mood was heavy, when Qin Shi Huang unified the world, he looked for the elixir of "immortality", in order to have a boundless life. But there is no boundless longevity in this world, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.

At this moment, Cao Cao may be the best able to understand Qin Shi Huang's mood back then, Cao Cao at this moment is a very popular minister, although he bears the name of prime minister, but he is the son of heaven.

"Is there really an elixir of life in this world? Is there really one? Where is he?" brushed his gray beard, and the hard work day and night made Cao Cao accelerate his aging even faster, and Cao Cao knew that there was not much time left for him. Once upon a time, Cao Cao also laughed at Qin Shi Huang's foolish dream, vainly seeking immortality, and wrote the famous article "Although the turtle is long, there is still a race for time", but now he also hopes that there is really immortality in this world.

Once people come to Cao Cao's step, they will inevitably be extremely nostalgic for all this, enjoy the glory of the admiration of all the people, and enjoy the pleasure of life and death. But they all know in their hearts that once they get all this, how long can they last, and in the end, it will not disappear with a handful of loess. Therefore, they would rather bite the bullet and look for the elixir of life in the face of their conscience, in order to seek solace in their hearts.

"But I haven't seen the unity of the world with my own eyes, and I'm not reconciled, I won't be blind to death. After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao felt that he was getting farther and farther away from the day of the unification of the world, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Prime Minister, I'm home. The voice of the attendant pulled Cao Cao back from his thoughts.

Cao Cao got out of the chariot and was about to enter the house, but he collided with the hurried servant.

The servant was so frightened that he hurriedly fell to his knees.

"What's so alarming?"

The servant cried, "Prime Minister, the little boy is ...... Little boy he ......"

"What's wrong with the little son?" Cao Cao was shocked, Cao Cao had five sons, the eldest son Cao Ang died early, and his favorite child was this youngest son Cao Chong, Cao Chong was smart by nature, and he was the most like Cao Cao among Cao Cao's sons. Hearing that Cao Chong had an accident, Cao Chong couldn't help but test his mind.

"Little boy, I was bitten by a poisonous snake in the yard and is still unconscious. Madame sent me to inform the Prime Minister."

Cao Cao was shocked, left Xu Chu and the others, and went straight to Cao Chong's residence in the mansion.

"Chong'er, Chong'er......" I saw Mrs. Bian, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others all sobbing on the side.

Several imperial doctors also knelt on the side of the bed helplessly, Cao Cao pushed everyone away and sat on the edge of the bed, only to see Cao Zhi's face pale and weak breathing.

"What are you still doing here, hurry up and save my Chong'er?" Cao Cao roared.

"Prime Minister, the snake venom in the little boy is incurable, unless Hua Tuo, the world's divine doctor, is invited, maybe it can still be treated. ”

"So where is Hua Tuo now?" Cao Cao seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

"Mr. Hua Tuo is still wandering away, and he doesn't know when he will return. ”

"Someone, someone......" Cao Cao shouted hoarsely.

"The subordinates are here. Two soldiers walked into the house.

"Drag out these two quacks who killed my Chong'er and cut them ......down," Cao Cao was furious, thinking that these two imperial doctors were ridiculing him.

"The prime minister spares his life, the prime minister spares his life......" Cao Cao turned a deaf ear.

"Two armor soldiers, one dragged out with a imperial doctor.

"Father......" only heard Cao Chong's faint voice.

"Chong'er, Chong'er......" Cao Cao saw that Cao Chong still had a glimmer of life, and hurriedly shouted: "Come back." ”

The two soldiers brought the two doctors back, and the two doctors were already so frightened that their legs were weak and they collapsed to the ground.

"I ...... It's cold...... Father ......: "Cao Cao hurriedly took off his robe and wrapped Cao Chong's petite body tightly. hugged Cao Chong tightly in his arms, as if Cao Chong would leave him at any time.

"Father, father...... Child, please ......"

"If you have any requirements, just mention it. For the sake of the father, yes. But you have to give your father a good life. ”

"You don't want to ...... Don't kill them, they are no ...... Innocent ......" Cao Chong is already extremely weak.

"Yes, yes, father promises you. ”

"Father......" Cao Cao only felt that Cao Chong's body was weak, his head slowly drooped, and he was out of breath when he probed again.

"Chong'er------ my Chong'er------- heavens, why did you take my Chong'er-" Cao Cao looked up to the sky and roared, then turned to crying, and then wailed.

Mrs. Bian, Cao Zhi and Cao Pi also lay down in front of Cao Chong's bed and cried bitterly.

The next day, in front of Cao Chong's mourning hall, Cao Cao's tears had already dried up, so he only knelt in front of Cao Chongling and put the paper money in his hand into the burning copper basin in front of him one by one.

Cao Cao's subordinates and friends all came to mourn.

"Prime Minister ......" Cheng Yu said: "I hope you take care of your health, the little boy is extremely filial in Japan, and his spirit in the sky probably doesn't want to see you like this." ”

Cao Cao only quietly looked at the flames burning in front of him, as if he had lost his mind.

"Zhongde. ”

Cheng Yu looked back and saw that it was Yang Xian who was calling him.

The two walked outside the door, Yang Xiu saw that there was no one left and right, and whispered in front of Cheng Yu: "There is something strange about this matter. ”

"What's so strange about the prime minister's loss of his beloved son?"

"I mean, the death of the little boy is strange. Yang Xiudao.

"What?" Cheng Yu was extremely curious.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is extremely poor, and there are not even a few rats, where does the poisonous snake come from? Not to mention that where all poisonous snakes often haunt, within seven steps, there will be an antidote. But you see that the Prime Minister's Mansion is desolate, and there are not even flowers and plants. Yang Xiu said in a low voice.

"You mean, someone deliberately threw a poisonous snake and killed the little boy?" Cheng Yu felt as if he knew some great secret.

"Otherwise, what about that poisonous snake? It's not that simple, there was a fire at the south gate yesterday, do you know? It's a common thing, but two things are together, it's not so simple, this Xu Capital City is now surging undercurrents, and some people have already reached the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"Have you told the prime minister about this?" Cheng Yu couldn't help asking.

Yang Xianse said: "I haven't talked to the prime minister yet, Zhongde, you are in charge of the school office, and this matter is your responsibility." This matter is strange, and it is difficult to withdraw the investigation without real evidence, even if you go to investigate, if the prime minister asks, you have already investigated this matter, wouldn't it be even more of a great achievement?"

"Dezu's words are reasonable, it seems that this person who covets the world is not only the princes of the Quartet, but also in this Xu Capital City!" Cheng Yu stroked his beard lightly, thoughtful.
