Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 358 See you at the top

—— "But he wants to open the skull with a sharp axe? Does Gu also follow him?"

Following this sound, Cao Cao grabbed his forehead with both hands subconsciously, his expression was painful, and the severe headache came again as expected.

Master, Mafeisan, Zhang Liao, female disciple, this series of words made Cao Cao quickly recall Hua Tuo, and recalled 15 years ago, on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, at the time of the clothes belt...resigned to Cao Cao Hua Tuo, who returned home;
I also recalled Hua Tuo who was kidnapped and killed by Cao Cao before the Battle of Chibi;

It was this Hua Tuo's female disciple, and it was this memory that aroused Cao Cao's pain, causing his forehead to suddenly ache unbearably.

The truth of Hua Tuo's death is that he was unwilling to treat Cao Cao, and when he returned home, he lied that his wife was seriously ill, and was caught and killed by Cao Cao?
Is there something hidden in this?
That was 15 years ago, on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao suppressed the situation on a large scale, Xu Du's government was unstable, and Cao Cao was facing the most severe test in Wei Wu's hegemony!

At that time, Xu Capital City seemed to be shrouded in layers of thick fog and haze, with dark tides surging.

It's late at night, in a secret room.

A belt-and-belt edict of "Blood for an alliance, sign and pledge, and swear to destroy Cao's bandits" is being presented to everyone in front of everyone by the uncle Dong Cheng.

In this secret room, there are Weiwei Ma Teng, Han Zuo General Liu Bei, Chariot General Dong Cheng, Pian General Wang Zifu, Yueqi School Captain Zhongji...

They pressed their fingerprints on the belt edict one after another.

But before them, the names of Taiwei Yang Biao and Jing Zhaoyin Sima Fang had already been written in the clothes belt edict.

Hua Tuo was at the last seat, and when the "clothes edict" was placed in front of him, he didn't press his fingerprints but said, "That person didn't sign it, and I wouldn't sign it, that person asked me to advise you not to act! "

After Hua Tuo left such a sentence, he turned and exited the secret room.

Ma Teng was surprised: "The two of them won't leak this to Cao Cao, will they?"

"No!" Liu Bei's tone was extremely firm, "Hua Tuo is a doctor, he can only save people, not harm them. As for him, although he is Cao Cao's confidant, he is also a Hanchen!"

At this time, Dong Cheng stood up excitedly, picked up a wine jar, and filled a large bowl of wine, "Today we will make an alliance with blood. Anyone who violates his oath and fails His Majesty will die in a war!"

Everyone rolled up their sleeves, cut their arms with knives one by one, dripped blood into the bowl, raised them up to drink one by one, and then clasped their hands tightly together.

On the other side, after Hua Tuo walked out of the secret room, he went to Shangshutai and met Shangshuling Xun Yu.

Xun Yu only said a word to Hua Tuo.

——"After all, you and I want to leave some hope for the big man!"

The next day, Hua Tuo asked Cao Cao to resign on the pretext that his wife was seriously ill.

Then, the Yidai Zhao broke out, Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Zhong Ji, and Wu Zilan were killed by Cao Cao one after another, Ma Teng went into hibernation, and Liu Bei fled Xudu with the "Yidai Zhao".

Yang Biao and Sima Fang were suspected by Cao Cao, but there was no evidence.

Due to the current enemy, Cao Cao was unwilling to fight against Hanoi Sima and Hongnong Yang, and in the end he just deposed them from their official titles.

Only Hua Tuo escaped the catastrophe and hid in his hometown to avoid being implicated by the imperial edict.

It was also in the past few years that Hua Tuo retired to his hometown...

He has accepted several disciples, the most talented of them is this Huainan woman - Zhuo Rong!
However, due to Xinglin's rule of "passing on males and not females", Hua Tuo almost taught everyone he could teach, except for "Qing Nang Shu" and Ma Fei San.

Eight years later, in the 13th year of Jian'an, before the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's head became violent again, and he thought of Hua Tuo.

This is not the first time Cao Cao has had a headache in recent years. In these years, Cao Cao wrote several times to Hua Tuo asking him to come back, and even promised high-ranking officials, but Hua Tuo still did not come back because his wife was ill!
Cao Cao thought that he thought he was arrogant, so he sent someone to investigate and told the investigator that if his wife was really sick, he would leave a lot of money, and if it was fake... then he would be tied back!
After that, Hua Tuo was arrested!

Exactly... Eight years ago, the investigation of Yi Daizhao had a new clue.

And this letter of clues directly points to the contact Dong Cheng had made back then——Hua Tuo and Xun Yu.

Cao Cao began to test Hua Tuo. He deliberately pretended to have a splitting headache and asked Hua Tuo to cure him once and for all.

Hua Tuo only said, "Cao Sikong's disease is not incurable, just open the skull with a sharp axe, and take out the stroke!"

It was Hua Tuo's answer that proved all of Cao Cao's suspicions. He glared and shouted at Hua Tuo, "There are many people in the world who want to take the head of the orphan? Ruo is one of them!"

Hua Tuo smiled pitifully. He thought of the scene when he met Dong Cheng, Liu Bei, Ma Teng and others before the Yidai Zhao. He thought of what Xun Lingjun told him to leave some hope for Han!

He plucked up his courage and used his own method to keep his promise with Xun Yu. He then persuaded Cao Cao: "Sikong refuses to open his head, so there is another way, which is to get rid of desire and anger. Hidden among forests, springs, mountains and rivers , without any irritability and anxiety, with ethereal pure energy, calming the mind and nourishing the brain, after ten years, you may be able to heal yourself!"

Cao Cao laughed and jumped off the bed, "The battle of Chibi is imminent, and the great cause of Gu's unification is just around the corner. Dr. Hua, your move to make Gu go back to the mountains and forests is really brilliant. Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan, Zhong Ji and others didn't do it back then." You have arrived, you have to do it for them! Someone will send Hua Tuo to prison and torture him!"

What is the trial?
Cao Cao ordered Man Chong to judge whether Xun Yu had signed the imperial edict.

The trial is whether Xun Yu is his confidant of Cao Cao, or Hanchen?
However, even though Hua Tuo was tortured to death in prison, he never revealed anything.

It was his death, Cao Cao could not be attributed to the Yidai Zhao eight years ago, he could only use Hua Tuo to deceive Cao Cao and convict him of Cao Cao.

Also since then...

Cao Cao began to test Xun Yu repeatedly;
It was also from this time that the pair of master and servant began to drift apart.

It is precisely because of this that when Xun Yu persuaded Cao Cao to let Hua Tuo go, his words seemed even weaker!
This is the whole truth about Hua Tuo's death.

In Cao Cao's view, Hua Tuo and Xun Yu are the same people as Dong Cheng, Zhong Ji, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan, Liu Bei, and Ma Teng. The only difference is that the former wants to put him to death, while Hua Tuo and Xun Yu are It is to make him Cao Cao still be the emperor, and also be a Hanchen!
Because of this, maybe Cao Cao loves and hates Xun Yu, but he can only hate Hua Tuo, hate to the bone!

Therefore, his disciples, regardless of men and women, also "hate" the same!
At this moment, the severe headache reopened this memory that had been sealed for 15 years.

Cao Cao's expression became more ferocious and painful.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister..."

Cao Zhen, Cheng Yu, Jia Kui, and Sima Yi rushed to help Cao Cao, but Cao Cao waved his hand to signal everyone to back off. He pointed to the door and said to Cao Zhen in an orderly tone.

"Zidan, I ordered you to catch her, catch her immediately, and torture and interrogate her. She... If she is as stubborn as her master, then let her die the same way as her master died. Do you hear me? Listen Is it there?"

Cao Zhen could only cup his hands tremblingly.

"Yes Yes…"

He also didn't expect that a woman, a female disciple of Hua Tuo, could make Cao Cao so angry.

Even, in addition to anger, there is also fear...

Fear of that Hua Tuo, no... fear of the names behind Hua Tuo!

Cao Cao is afraid that they will kill them!
Sure enough, the prime minister is getting old!

In the past, he was not afraid of anything, but he started to be even more afraid, afraid of those innocent souls coming to claim his life——

...

...

In Luoyang City, in the post house, Cao Zhi was already very drunk.

He groaned: "Second brother, I have come up with the last sentence, I am a gentleman, I am a gentleman, my ingenuity is like a god... but I am a gentleman, my ingenuity is like a god... Second brother, it's you, it's your next sentence!"

At this moment, Cao Pi was too drunk, "Okay, okay, the second brother is too drunk to write poems, Zijian, you have a good drinker!"

"Drink again, drink again..." Cao Zhi's drunken eyes were hazy, "I will rest only when I am drunk, didn't my second brother agree that I will rest only when I am drunk?"

"No way." Cao Pi waved his hands, "Second brother don't worry when Zijian comes to Luoyang, I have to go to Shouchun tonight, and my father is still waiting for me to go to Soochow... In this way, you sober up and eat some food , let your sister-in-law take you to the mansion later, the second brother specially built the Pingyuanhou mansion for you, apart from the imperial palace and father's bedroom, your Pingyuanhou mansion is the most magnificent."

Cao Zhi didn't care if he was imposing or not, but he heard that his second brother asked his sister-in-law to take him to the mansion, this...

Cao Zhi regained consciousness: "Thank you second brother, thank you sister-in-law..."

But when the word "sister-in-law" landed at the end, Cao Zhi fell down on the table... looking drunk, but he whispered softly in his mouth: "Second brother...sister-in-law...second brother...sister-in-law..."

"Okay!" Cao Pi patted Cao Zhi on the shoulder, he turned his head to Liu Zhen and Wu and said, "Let's go, don't make father wait for such a delay!"

While talking, Liu Zhen and Wu Zhi went to prepare the horse... Cao Pi finally stared deeply at Cao Zhi, who was drunk on the table, and planned to leave. When he turned his head, he saw Zhen Mi in the hall with her lips pursed and resentful. He walked up to Zhen Mi.

"It's hard work for you to send the fourth brother..."

Speaking of this, Cao Pi seemed to be somewhat emotional, and he added, "I think you are also willing to send him back..."

"Zihuan..."

Before Zhen Mi could open his mouth, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Cao Pi's mouth, he pretended to be open-minded: "I don't mind... I'll leave it to you here."

While talking, Cao Pi strode out of the post house.

When he walked to the door, he paused, facing the cool night wind, his whole body shivered, do you mind?How could he not mind?
Even if he likes Guo Zhao more, it doesn't mean that he, Cao Pi, is willing to share his wife with his younger brother...

only!
Hehe... Woman, so what if Cao Pi cares?In Cao Pi's life, women, love... these can only account for [-]% of his possessions at most.

And what accounts for [-]% or even [-]% of his life is power, the pinnacle of power!
"Humph…"

Leave a cold sentence, Cao Pi got into the carriage, Wu Zhi couldn't help giving him a thumbs up, "Young Master, if you can do this, it seems... the outcome has been decided!"

Liu Zhen also said with emotion: "Zijian has always been bohemian and drunk too much. Back then, the prime minister almost deposed him as a citizen because he broke into Sima's gate at night because of drinking. Now after all these years...his temperament has not changed. He gets carried away when he drinks. You can drink too much, just let the Prime Minister know that Mr. Zijian is a great cause!"

call…

Cao Pi didn't speak, he was forbearing, he wanted to endure until the moment of his peak!
Then take back everything he lost today, including his wife, including his dignity.

You know, the first thing Cao Pi in history did after he succeeded to the throne was to take all the concubines of his father Cao Cao as his own.

He endured the suffering of seizing the heir for a lifetime, and when he really got to that position, his heart was already extremely perverted!
Of course, today's Cao Pi...his mentality is also approaching the word "abnormal".

Not crazy, not live--

Over there...

Hearing the sound of Cao Pi's carriage going away, Ding Yi widened his one eye, and finally broke into the post house... Seeing Cao Zhi drunk on the table, he quickly called: "Mr. Zijian, how did you drink so well?" Like this? Let the prime minister know about it, I'm afraid... and worry about your drinking!"

Before Ding Yi could finish speaking, Cao Zhi's eyes opened with a "chuckle", he raised his head quietly, and looked out of the window from the corner of his eye, seeing that Cao Pi's carriage had gone far away, Cao Zhi felt relieved and pondered Said: "My second brother is gone!"

This…

Ding Yi didn't even react.

Cao Zhi had already stood up and looked at the table with contemptuous eyes. He said with emotion: "When I broke into the Sima Gate at night, it was my second brother who poured water on my bar. Since I was severely punished by my father that time, I will not drunk!"

what…

Ding Yi was stunned by Cao Zhi's words, and it took him a long time to recover.

Cao Zhi's voice groaned again: "Where is Mr. Li? I'm going to see him..."

It wasn't until this sentence came out that Ding Yi seemed to wake up, and quickly replied: "Mr. Li is waiting in the courtyard where the young master is staying, and he said that he has a surprise for the young master!"

surprise?

Cao Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he also quickly walked out of the post house. When he reached the lobby, he also saw Zhen Mi...

Zhen Mi was looking at him in surprise.

At this moment, Zhen Mi hadn't recovered yet, she still couldn't understand...why wasn't Zijian drunk?Why are you standing here.

However, Zhen Mi can be considered a smart woman. As Cao Zhi approached him, she soon realized that Cao Zhi's drunkenness was a fake...for Zihuan to watch.

The pair of brothers are playing games, fighting...

The current situation in Luoyang City is surging!
At this moment, Zhen Mi also thought of the time when...Zi Jian broke into the Sima Gate at night...

Connect that incident with him now.

——『Zijian seems to be much more mature than before, and he is no longer the younger brother who was played with by Zihuan between applause! 』

Yes…

Cao Zhi fought for the son for the sake of his sister-in-law, but he knew better that if he did not become the son of the son, then his sister-in-law would endure the loneliness forever, and he... would also fall into a situation that would never be restored.

How could he not be aware of Cao Pi's beauty tricks and serial schemes?

Cao Zhi can still figure out which one is more important between the one night sister Zhen and the "one night night" sister Zhen!
The current situation is that you have to have a son before you can have sister Zhen!
Thinking of this...

Cao Zhi walked straight past Zhen Mi, and when they rubbed shoulders, he just stopped slightly, then his lips moved, and he chanted something in a voice that only he and Zhen Mi could hear.

Then, like two unrelated people, he strode out...

Get on the horse and ride away.

Only Zhen Mi was left standing alone in the same place, the lonely bright moon reflected in the evening——

You know, after Cao Pi left, Zhen Mi specially changed into a red robe...

But at this moment, following the words Cao Zhi whispered in her ear, Zhen Mi felt that her clothes and her body seemed to be dissolving, dissolving little by little...

The red color of Xue Linlin was floating everywhere in the air, like the blood color of brother Xiao Qiang.

At this moment, her heart became even more restless...

Looking at the back of Cao Zhi riding Juechen, she gritted her teeth, and finally murmured Cao Zhi's words just now.

——"See you at the top...Zijian said...say to see you at the top!"

At this moment, Zhen Mi just realized that today... her little uncle is no longer what he used to be.

This sentence of peak view has already pushed the dispute between the sons to a white heat...

How could this sentence, see you at the top, not touch her heartstrings?

——Before the tears spilled on the pear blossoms, the sorrow fell with the flowers.

At this moment, Zhen Mi doesn't know her, how should she choose, and which side is she on?
...

...

In Shouchun City, the gate of Zhang Liao's mansion was wide open, and Cao Zhen drove straight in with a group of tiger and cardinal soldiers.

They seemed to have a goal long ago, bypassing the bedroom where Zhang Liao was resting, and heading directly towards the fire room.

In the fire room at this moment, a pungent garlic smell hits...

Zhuo Rong was sweating profusely. Just now, she spent four hours extracting "Allicin" according to Professor Zhang Zhongjing's method, and put it into a clay pot...Look at the clay pot full of allicin , and there is plenty of old mustard stew in the wine gourd.

The boulder in her mind finally landed safely, and she murmured: "The current dosage is as much as fifteen days, which is enough to completely heal Brother Zhang's infected wound."

Zhuo Rong had just instructed Zhang Liao's personal guards how to apply the allicin externally and how to mix it with mustard stew.

The guard's questioning voice blurted out: "Miss Zhuo, is that so? Taking it internally and applying it externally, how long will it take for General Zhang to go to the ground?"

Zhuo Rong opened his mouth and was about to answer...

With a "kuang", Cao Zhen kicked open the door of this room.

The personal guard was taken aback, and quickly asked: "What are you doing, is this the residence of General Zhengdong? How can you allow us to rush in?"

When Qin Wei blurted out these words, he felt that something was wrong, because from the clothes, he could tell... the opponent's identity was——Hu Benjun!

And the one who can mobilize and dispatch the Huben Army...in the entire Cao Wei is only one person——Wei Gong Cao Cao!
All of a sudden, the guard's brows were deeply frowned.

Cao Zhen pushed the guard away, walked up to Zhuo Rong, squinted his eyes, and said, "Are you that Hua Tuo's female disciple?"

This…

Zhuo Rong didn't expect her identity to be exposed so quickly.

Her original plan was to leave this place and leave the place of right and wrong by leaving these old shepherd's purse stew and garlic...but she never thought...

Immediately, Zhuo Rong bit her lip. Apart from worrying that if her identity was revealed, she would get caught in the fire, she was also worried that Big Brother Zhang... would be implicated because of her identity.

"me…"

For a while, Zhuo Rong faltered and couldn't speak.

But there was a "whoosh", Cao Zhen's knife had been pulled out, and the cold blade was pressed against Zhuo Rong's cheek, "Girl, if you don't want to ruin your pretty face, just tell me the truth!"

Zhuo Rong's tears of grievance rolled in his eyes, but he stubbornly held his head up to prevent the tears from falling...

"Don't touch him..."

It's outside the door... Zhang Liao yelled loudly. Hearing the movement here, Zhang Liao let his personal guards support him and chased after the Huben army. As expected, he really came for Zhuo Rong.

Zhang Liao's physical condition has improved a lot due to taking Chen mustard stew, but he is still far from being able to support himself independently.

At this moment, seeing Cao Zhen's iron blade with a cold light on Zhuo Rong's face, he didn't care so much, and pulled Zhuo Rong behind him to block her.

"General Zidan is merciful, his little girl is not sensible, if you provoke the general, please..."

Zhang Liao carefully removed the knife in Cao Zhen's hand little by little, looked into Cao Zhen's shining eyes, and said softly, "If she made any mistakes, please see it for Zhang's sake..."

"Hmph..." Before Zhang Liao could say anything, Cao Zhen opened his mouth domineeringly, "Could it be that this woman wants to harm the prime minister, so she can be spared for General Zhang's sake?"

Speaking of this, Cao Zhen waved his hand, "Tie up this female disciple of Hua Tuo!"

Immediately, a group of Huben sergeants stepped forward, cold sweat dripped from Zhang Liao's forehead, but he still opened his arms and stood in front of Zhuo Rong.

Cao Zhendao: "Is it the Prime Minister's intention to arrest her? General Zhang, you have thought about it, you are protecting the person the Prime Minister wants to arrest!"

This…

Cao Zhen's words made Zhang Liao's persistence loose. Since he surrendered to Cao Ying, Cao Cao treated him well. Zhang Liao never disobeyed Cao Cao's intentions!
All of a sudden, Zhang Liao became in a dilemma.

But at this time, Zhuo Rong comforted: "Let me go...Don't worry, Brother Zhang, maybe it's just a misunderstanding!"

She tried her best to squeeze out a smile, and what she said was a white lie.

She did not forget to tell Zhang Liao at the end, "The old mustard stew and allicin should be taken orally and applied externally twice a day...until the scabs form, don't be careless for a day, brother Zhang...you..."

Speaking of this, Zhuo Rong bit his lower lip, but still couldn't express all the words hidden in his heart, "Brother Zhang, take care of yourself and don't worry about me..."

As if aware of their own belonging.

Zhuo Rong avoided Zhang Liao's arm, and she took the initiative to walk in front of Cao Zhen, and asked Cao Zhen calmly.

"Do you need to tie me up?"

Cao Zhen glanced at Zhang Liao, "For General Zhang's sake, avoid it, take it away—"

Soon, Cao Zhen and a group of Huben soldiers escorted Zhuo Rong away, but Zhang Liao's eyes seemed to be tearing apart. He seemed to have made an impulsive and bold decision after a century of deliberation.

He steps forward...

But just as he took the first step, with a sound of "boom", he seemed to be exhausted again, and fell to the ground, unconscious.

only…

Even in a coma, Zhang Liao murmured in his mouth:

"Don't touch her, don't touch her..."

"Prime Minister... let her go, let her go, without her healing... there would never be Zhang Wenyuan alive—"

...
