Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 658: Qianlong! (4000)

In less than a stick of incense, Wu Liang and the others had arrived at another hot spring called "Mother Water" by the locals.

The flow rate of this hot spring is indeed slightly larger than that of "Zi Shui". The width of the river flowing through it is about 2 meters. It is not difficult to judge the water of the river. Adults can probably be submerged to the waist when they enter it.

As for the temperature of the river water, it is not much different from the previous "Zi Shui".

The closer to the spring, the higher the temperature of the water, but the highest should not be higher than 50 degrees, and it is far from the level of scalding people.

Wu Liang is in the process of inspecting "Mother Water".

Suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind the crowd.

Cao Chun and several "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" soldiers immediately held down their weapons, carefully guarding against possible accidents.

The person who came was none other than the Huan army soldiers who ran in ahead of time to report the news.

"Young master, not long after you came in, people from the Sima family also came, and they should have entered the mountain by now."

The soldier hurried to Wu Liang's side, and then he lowered his voice and reported carefully.

"Oh? Did it come for us?"

Wu Liang frowned slightly, and asked in surprise.

When Cao Chun heard this, his brows were instantly frowned. Although he didn't know when they came into the Sima family's sight, but if the Sima family really came for them, then they might There will be some troubles.

"Not quite."

But the soldier shook his head and said, "The Sima family has a team of carriages. There are eight carriages in total, including the accompanying servants. The number should be about 34. They claim that they are here to worship their ancestors. Clothes are indeed sacrificial offerings."

"So... have they made things difficult for you?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"I didn't make things difficult for us. I just sent someone over politely to ask about our origins. I heard that the young master came from Leling in the plain. When he passed through Wen County and planned to go to Mei County to join relatives and friends, he even invited the young master to offer sacrifices to them. After passing the ancestors, go back to the mansion together to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Suspicion appeared on the soldier's face, and he spoke about the performance of the Sima family in a suspicious tone.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

That's what the soldier had in mind.

It's not the first time for the Huan army to go to an unfamiliar place, but they have never encountered a noble family as enthusiastic as the Sima family. In addition, the Huan army already has "ghosts" in their hearts. It was impossible not to think too much about it.

"invite……"

Wu Liang's brows also wrinkled even tighter.

This is indeed a questionable thing, because as far as he knows, the current Patriarch of the Sima family "Sima Fang" should not be a "hospitality" person, let alone invite some strangers who have never met before.

Moreover, there is such a record about this person's life in the history books: "When I was young, I served as an official in the state and county.

What is "Yangzhi Lu Lane"?
What is "closed door" again?
It is nothing more than insisting on "being alone" in the troubled times, not forming alliances with other official families, and not participating in official political affairs, leading the family to guard the three-acre land in Wen County, living their own lives well, and avoiding any indiscretions. Be careful that something goes wrong and the family will be affected.

This shows that "Sima Fang" is still a very conservative person.

And if such a person meets a foreigner whose identity is unknown, even if he feels that the other party's identity is not simple, he should not take the initiative to express his friendship as a landlord. It may even be that the more difficult the other party's identity is, the more unwilling he is to make friends. You will turn a blind eye, listen but not hear, don't provoke the other party, and don't get close to the other party. It is best to teach the other party how to come and go, so that there will never be any trouble.

Unless...he has other unknown purposes.

"Have you ever seen the identity, face, and age of the person who invited me?"

Wu Liang asked subconsciously.

Although Wu Liang had never met anyone from the Sima family before, he was very clear about the age of the key figures.

Now Sima Yi is just a young man who is slightly older than Zhuge Liang, and the biggest is not much different from the high school students of later generations.

And Sima Fang should be a middle-aged man in his forties now, that is to say, he is a few years older than Boss Cao.

Therefore, just by age, Wu Liang could roughly guess the other party's identity.

"This... When the villain came to report the news in a hurry, the people on the carriage hadn't come down yet, so the villain didn't see their faces, but my son, the Sima family came to worship the ancestors, so according to the rules, the head of the family and the son of the family It is reasonable for Ding Zi to be present, right?"

The soldier of the Huren Army hesitated for a moment, and said his thoughts, "And if the Patriarch of the Sima family is present, I'm afraid it's not for others to give orders."

"Hiss...that makes sense, why didn't I think of it!"

Wu Liang was also confused for a while, and he didn't think of this question. After hearing what the soldier said, he immediately realized, nodded and said, "In this way, Sima Fang, the Patriarch of the Sima Family, must have personally invited me..."

In this way, Wu Liang's suspicion was further confirmed. This "invitation" was absolutely abnormal!

It's just what Sima Fang thought about this move.

But it was absolutely impossible for Wu Liang to guess based on guesswork alone. I'm afraid he could only cover it up with soldiers...

at this time.

"My suggestion is to decline the Sima family's invitation. If the Sima family doesn't take any further action, we don't have to worry about it. If he dares to use force against us, I will immediately summon the tiger and leopard riders who are hiding in the dark and waiting to respond. A small county, a family, forgive him for not daring to do anything to us!"

When it came to the issue of defense, Cao Chun believed that it was within the scope of his responsibility, so he took the initiative to speak.

"If this is the case, if Lu Bu has a close relationship with Wen County, he will definitely be alarmed. At the same time, Zhang Yang's troops in Hanoi County will also be alarmed. This operation can be directly declared a failure."

Wu Liang murmured and said.

"I am only responsible for your safety during this trip. As long as your personal safety is involved, everything else must be compromised."

Cao Chun still said stubbornly.

"Um……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly, "Then we'll talk about this later. Let's take the time to go up the mountain and figure out the feng shui pattern of this place before making a decision. This may have a lot to do with our action this time."

How could he not see it.

Although Cao Chun's temperament is a bit upright and a little awkward, it is very suitable for Boss Cao to send such a person to take up the defense job. Even if he encounters any danger during this trip, this guy can definitely do the following A move to save lives.

Therefore, even if the two sides could not reach a consensus in some aspects, Wu Liang would not hold grudges against him, let alone completely quarrel with him. Some differences could be avoided and they would be avoided temporarily.

"..."

Hearing Wu Liang's decision, Cao Chun didn't continue to say anything. Boss Cao's order also had some influence on him, so sometimes he had to obey Wu Liang and make some concessions against his will.

……

This "Taifeng" is not a big mountain.

Although I am not sure about the altitude, the height difference between the peak and the foot of the mountain seems to be about 500 to [-] meters, and the straight-line distance of the mountain road up the mountain should not exceed two miles.

It's a pity that Yu Ji is still too old, and his legs and feet are always not very sharp, so that he is already out of breath when he walks halfway up the mountain.

After about half an hour, the group finally reached the top of the mountain.

Wu Liang was not in a hurry to visit the "Taiyi Ancestral Hall" built in the period of Emperor Wu, but immediately helped Yuji to a flat ground not far away that was similar to a viewing platform, and ordered him to take a closer look at the place Feng Shui.

As a result, Yu Jicai only took two or three glances, and those old eyes immediately widened a lot, and that old face also showed a look of shock, as if he saw something extraordinary.

"Dive Dragon!"

Facing Wu Liang's questioning eyes, Yu Ji was full of astonishment and said, "Unexpectedly, there is such a small potential dragon hidden at the edge of the middle dragon of the three major dragon veins!"

"Dragon veins?!"

Wu Liang was also taken aback.

Although he didn't understand the characteristics of the "Qianlong" in Yu Ji's mouth, since the character "dragon" was included in the Feng Shui pattern, and Yu Ji also specifically mentioned the three major dragon veins, then this little "Qianlong" It must also be the category of dragon veins.

As for this result, although Wu Liang was surprised, he was not completely surprised.

why?
Because in history, the people of the Sima family did usurp the world of Cao Wei, and they sat on the throne of the emperor with almost no effort, and the Jin Dynasty established by the Sima family lasted for more than 100 years, at least better than the Cao family. The Wei Dynasty established by one hand lasted a lot longer.

According to the feng shui legends of the Celestial Dynasty, those who can sit on the throne of the emperor have ancestral tombs in their homes that are somewhat related to the "dragon vein".

"?"

Even Cao Chun, who was stern and unsmiling, was instantly aroused by curiosity at this moment, intentionally or unintentionally, he leaned over to listen to what Yu Ji would say next.

"That's right, my lord, please take a look."

Yu Ji then pulled Wu Liang closer, then raised his hand and pointed to the slightly shorter mountains in the distance and said, "Those short mountains seem to have no obvious connection at first glance, but if you look carefully at the foot of the mountain , but it can still be seen that they have already been connected into one piece, stretching endlessly and clearly layered, as if wrapping this piece of flat ground layer by layer. The extremely precious 'Dragon and Tiger Guard Bureau'."

"Young Master, look at the mountain under our feet. According to Feng Shui, the position of this mountain should be Xunfeng. Xunfeng stands upright and pierces the sky. It is particularly prominent in all directions. It can be the main peak."

"First of all, there are layers of 'Dragon and Tiger Guards' surrounding it, and it is impossible to see the inside story from the outside."

"There is also Xunfeng Peak standing out among the layers of encirclement, like a black dragon sticking out its head from the sea of ​​clouds to look at the world."

"In this way, this 'hidden dragon' pattern of 'like a lurking, ready to fly' has been formed!"

"If someone can see the treasure land here, rely on Xunfeng Peak, point out acupuncture points here and build a yin house facing south, then this 'Qianlong' can be made to take off, and some people in future generations will be able to reach the pole. bit..."

Speaking of this, Yu Ji's fingers moved and stopped at a position under the mountain, and then...he suddenly closed his mouth.

Because in the direction he pointed, there are a few wisps of green smoke slowly rising at this moment.

And there are still a group of people standing near Qingyan, judging from that posture, it is undoubtedly that a worship ceremony is being held, and in the direction that the group of people are facing, there are a few places that don't seem grand and can be talked about. There are no ostentatious grave bags.

"...Looks like someone has already stepped in first, my lord."

Yu Ji reluctantly continued what he said before, and looked back at Wu Liang.

"..."

Everyone also saw the group of people who were holding a worship ceremony in the corner below.

It doesn't take much to figure out who they are.

It was just now that the soldiers of the Tuan army came to report that it was the Sima family who entered the mountain to worship their ancestors today, and Yang Wanli had already investigated and found out that this was the ancestral grave of the Sima family...

Dive dragon!

Wu Liang seems to have found one of the reasons why the Sima family finally succeeded in usurping Wei.

Speaking of Sima's family usurping Wei and Sima Yi living to the end and monopolizing power, apart from some objective and factual reasons, there are also many elements of "luck".

For example, his choice to assist Cao Pi is a very important step.

In history, after Boss Cao found out that Sima Yi had the "Wolf Gu Zhixiang", he once said to Cao Pi: "Sima Yi is not a person who is willing to be a subject, and he will definitely interfere in our family affairs." He intended to get rid of him before his death. .

However, Cao Pi trusted Sima Yi very much and protected him everywhere. Boss Cao did not find a suitable opportunity before his death, so Sima Yi survived.

Imagine if Sima Yi assisted Cao Zhi at the beginning, then the ending would definitely be different. Think about Yang Xiu who assisted Cao Zhi. There is a living example. No one really thinks that Boss Cao killed Yang Xiu just because he learned Chinese textbooks "One bite per person" right?

Then came the later period of Cao Wei.

Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui was seriously ill. In order to protect the foundation of the country, Cao Fang, who was only eight years old, was hurriedly established as the crown prince before his death. Soon after Cao Rui died of illness, Cao Fang succeeded to the throne.

Although Cao Shuang is not a good person himself, but he is also very clever, and soon Sima Yi was completely emptied, so that he had to go into hibernation again. This hibernation lasted for a full ten years, and many official positions in the Sima family were removed. The influence within the imperial court is naturally getting smaller and smaller.

However, just when everyone thought that the Sima family was about to become a poor family.

Sima Yi suddenly launched an attack to seize power, and even during the process of seizing power, Cao Shuang's general had already aimed the crossbow in Sima Yi's hand, but the arrow could not be shot three times in a row due to various reasons...
