Three Kingdoms: Do you want me to get out of here? Liu Bei, you wait

Chapter 187: The miserable Sima Yi, his reputation as a hermit is completely ruined? [Two in one]

Cao Pi was poisoned.

Although this self-torture tactic was proposed by Sima Yi.

However, this time he accompanied his younger brother Sima Fu to Cao Pi's residence to visit on behalf of his elder brother.

On the one hand, it is just a formality to express concern.

On the other hand, Sima Yi also wanted to see whether Cao Pi was really a lucky man and could survive this disaster.

But it was only a short time since he entered the mansion.

Sima Yi, however, stood there like an old monk in meditation.

Look at him like this.

Sima Fu was naturally surprised and asked.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? What were you looking at just now?"

Sima Yi came back to his senses and said with a smile, "It's just a young boy. Nothing surprising."

"Little yellow-mouthed child?"

Sima Fu raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

I was curious about who this yellow-mouthed boy Sima Yi mentioned was.

After really seeing Su Chen's figure.

His face changed immediately.

He hurried forward, covered Sima Yi's mouth with his hand, and reminded him.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense. He is a genius! He is not a child. Be careful with your mouth."

Sima Yi looked at Sima Fu's frightened look, but he didn't care at all. He laughed and said.

"Don't worry, I'm just impressed and surprised that this talented man is so young. I don't mean to look down on him."

"After all, when I was so young, I didn't have such achievements. I envy you. But being young is both a good thing and a bad thing."

"Is being young a bad thing?" Sima Fu was surprised.

Sima Yi leaned close to his ear, lowered his voice, and explained quietly,
"Of course, it's easy to be impulsive when young. Third brother, haven't you heard the old saying that even the wisest man can make mistakes?"

Sima Fu said, "Second brother, don't be too happy too soon. I heard that Zhuge Liang, a subordinate of Liu Bei, also thought so."

Although he was no longer the chief clerk of Cao Ying like his elder brother Sima Lang, he was only a small literary official. His main work on weekdays was to write articles and sort out classics.

But precisely because of his low position, he was able to appreciate the influence of the talented scholar among the middle and lower class literati.

He was afraid that his second brother would underestimate the enemy and advance rashly.

In the end, he followed the same path as Zhuge Kongming and repeated the same mistakes.

Seeing him like this, Sima Yi naturally laughed.

Said nonchalantly.

"Zhuge Kongming? I am not that Zhuge villager."

"Besides, we are now in the dark, while the talented Qilin is in the light. Third brother, haven't you heard that it is easy to dodge a spear in the open, but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark?"

"Don't say he doesn't know it now. This plan came from me. Even if he really knew, what can he do?"

"I am now an official with no more responsibilities. If he wants to target me, there is nothing I can do, right?"

Sima Yi was very pleased with himself.

Seeing him like this, Sima Fu beside him couldn't help but show a bit of curiosity.

He opened his mouth and was about to ask again.

But he saw Sima Yi, who had been talking eloquently just now, staggering beside him.

With a thud, he fell directly onto the ground on his back.

“Ouch!——”

"Brother, how are you?"

"You... should pay attention to where you are walking. Why are you so careless?"

Sima Fu was naturally shocked when he saw this scene.

He hurried forward to support him, and his words were filled with complaints.

"I've been very careful, okay. This is the road..."

After hearing this, Sima Yi wanted to explain.

However, before he could finish his words, Sima Fu next to him interrupted him again, covering his nose.

"Ouch, what's that smell... Why do you stink so bad?"

When he turned around and looked behind Sima Yi, his face changed even more and he hurriedly reminded him.

"Second brother, how come you always fall on dog shit?"

Sima Yi was also shocked when he saw this.

"This... I don't know either."

Sima Fu urged, "Stop talking, second brother, go change your clothes. How can you go to see Master Pi like this?"

"Where can I find clothes to change at this critical moment?"

It is said that clothes make the man and saddles make the horse.

Sima Yi was also dressed up when he came to see Cao Pi this time.

Even the black robe he was wearing just now was specially tailor-made.

What we want is the demeanor of a hermit master.

If I really didn't wear a coat, I would just rush in like that.

If Cao Pi saw this, he would certainly look down on him.

So when he spoke again this time, his face couldn't help but look a little more embarrassed.

Sima Fu naturally understood what was bothering his second brother.

After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth, took off his coat, and handed it to Sima Yi.

"I'll give this robe to you, my second brother, first."

"Isn't there a toilet in front? Go and change your clothes first. It would be really embarrassing if the Prime Minister saw you."

Sima Fu urged.

Sima Yi looked at it and his eyes became more grateful. After nodding heavily, he rushed towards the toilet in front.

"Hey?"

"Sir, are you going to the toilet? No, you can't go to the toilet there! The toilet is broken..."

A servant saw this scene.

Opening your mouth quickly is a reminder.

"I'm not going to the toilet, really... Besides, it's just going to the toilet, there's no need to be so careful..."

Sima Yi turned a deaf ear to this.

He pushed the door open and rushed in.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he pushed the door open, he heard a click and the sound of wooden boards breaking.

After a while.

The servants' screams echoed throughout the entire garden.

"Someone come quickly, something bad has happened!"

"Someone fell into the toilet!"

"Someone come quickly!"

"What, fell into the toilet?"

Sima Fu's face changed.

I instinctively felt that something was wrong.

I immediately followed the sound.

If it’s not Sima Yi, then who else could it be?

"Third... Third brother... hurry... hurry and give me a hand..."

At this moment, Sima Yi no longer had the charm he had just had.

His eyes were dull.

He stretched out a trembling hand to Sima Fu for help.

"Second brother, why are you... vomiting..."

"Brother, please don't come over here. Stay away from me. Let me take a break first, okay?"

Sima Fu stepped forward and wanted to speak.

But that’s not all.

I just couldn't stand it any longer.

He retched and retreated again.

However, his retreat caused great harm to Sima Yi.

The pit latrines in ancient times, even those owned by wealthy families, were not much better than the dry toilets in rural areas today.

There is no help from sewer pipes and city sewage pipes.

Basically, they choose to dig a huge hole below.

Sima Yi just fell into this pit.

After great effort, he finally stuck his body out.

He had hoped that Sima Fu could lend a hand and save him from his misery.

But unexpectedly, Sima Fu didn't even reach out.

Sima Yi's hands were full of slippery and indescribable things. There was nowhere to gain leverage.

This time, the center of gravity is unstable.

Just when he had climbed halfway, he slipped and fell down again.

And this time, it's worse than the last time.

Because he just opened his mouth to speak.

Something indescribable was poured directly into his mouth...

Sima Yi.

This time, it was a real breakdown.

Sima Fu, who was standing nearby, saw this scene.

He couldn't hold it in any longer and started vomiting loudly.

Forget about being a famous scholar this time. He even regretted why he followed Sima Yi to Cao Pi's residence.

After this battle.

But it's not just Sima Yi.

I'm afraid that the face of his entire Sima family will be lost as well.

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Cao Cao was still concerned about Cao Pi's injuries.

I was naturally surprised to hear such a commotion in the backyard.

His brows furrowed immediately.

"Pi'er has just recovered a little bit. Who is making such a fuss and acting so recklessly?"

"Are the servants in this mansion so unruly now?"

This time, while speaking, he waved towards Xu Chu.

Obviously, we need to find out the reason and teach the other party a lesson.

Xu Chu took the order and left with a gloomy face.

But after a while.

After investigating the whole matter.

Return again.

The expression on his face was no longer gloomy.

Compared to before, it was a little more weird.

"What's wrong, Zhongkang? What are you laughing at? Who did this?"

Cao Cao asked.

Xu Chu said, "My lord, I just investigated and found out that it was Sima Yi, the second son of the Sima family, Sima Lang's younger brother..."

"Sima Yi?"

Cao Cao was surprised.

Xu Chu spoke next, and then told Sima Yi about the series of bad things that had just happened to him.

Su Chen was also standing aside.

Although he was the mastermind behind all this.

But after hearing that Sima Yi actually fell into the toilet.

He couldn't help but be shocked.

"My goodness, this bad luck charm is too cruel. It really tortures people to death."

Shocked.

In his heart, he couldn't help but think more highly of the bad luck charm he had just used.

But he knew the whole story.

But Cao Cao knew nothing about it.

I heard that the person who did this was not a servant.

But it was after Sima Yi.

In addition to the shock on his face, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of contempt.

"This... I always thought that 'when a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will get his teeth stuck' was just a joke. Is there really someone who is so unlucky?"

“I have heard rumors from the outside world before, saying that Sima Yi is a hermit master who can be compared with Zhuge Liang.

Now it seems that he is just a person seeking fame and reputation."

These days, first impression is very important when entering a career in government.

Just look at Pang Tong to understand this.

When he was building his reputation, it was clearly said that 'if you get one of the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix, you can pacify the world', and he was a top talent on par with Zhuge Kongming.

The result is that it is because of ugly appearance.

Whether in the Eastern Wu or under Liu Bei, he was not given important positions at the beginning.

This is also the important reason why Sima Yi chose to emphasize the hermit style from the very beginning.

What is the most important thing for a hermit.

Is it hidden?

No, it's the kind of "The whole world is drunk but I am the only one sober, the whole world is turbid but I am the only one clear"!

If Wolong didn’t have this kind of style back then.

It is impossible for Liu Bei to visit Zhuge Liang three times.

It can be said that Sima Yi came here this time just to show off his status.

Just a pity.

This time, however, his wish went against his will.

When a hermit and a toilet are bound together.

Don't even mention the style.

Even your personality is about to be lost.

"Yeah, even when I went to the toilet, I dropped stuff in the pit, and it happened twice for no apparent reason."

"A person like this is definitely useless."

After hearing this, Xu Chu also agreed.

Just about to say it again.

Then Xiahou Dun hurried in and reported to Cao Cao.

It was said that Cao Pi and other princes had requested to go to Cao Chong's house the day after tomorrow to visit his younger brother Cao Chong.

"Pi'er is here too?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately put the matter of Sima Yi behind him.

Asked again.

"Is his body not fully recovered yet?"

"Yes."

Xiahou Dun nodded and replied respectfully.

"We also advised Master Pi, but Master Pi doubted it and wanted to go with his brothers to visit the young master, saying that he was in good health and was fine."

"Prime Minister... Master Pi, you are truly a model of brotherly love and respect."

As Xiahou Dun spoke, he couldn't help but open his mouth and started praising.

Hearing Xiahou Dun praising his son like this.

Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed.

"Since Pi'er is so determined, let him go. But he should also take care of his health and not let his illness relapse, or worsen."

“Humph, I don’t know who is behind this, trying to murder my two children one after another.

Don't let me catch who he is. Otherwise I will tear him into pieces!"

But in the end.

There was a hint of cruelty on his face.

Look at him like this.

Su Chen couldn't help but shook his head.

Cao Cao noticed Su Chen's strange behavior and asked.

"Why is Military Advisor Su shaking his head?"

"Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Su Chen reminded,
"Didn't the Lord say before that no one is allowed to discuss this topic anymore? Why are you bringing it up again so soon?"

Cao Cao sighed and said, "Alas, there are some things that I don't know the answers to. I always feel like there is a knot in my heart."

Xu Chu saw this and said.

"This is easy. Didn't Mr. Su say before that we should see who would benefit the most after the victimization? If only the young master was harmed before, the one who would benefit the most would naturally be Master Pi.

But now that the young master and the young master are both injured, the most advantageous thing to do is, needless to say, "

He is heartless.

When he said this, his expression was casual, and he didn't feel how serious it was at all.

But listen to him.

Xiahou Dun beside him was also startled.

This time I'm not exaggerating, I really was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat on my back.

He reached out his hand again and directly covered Xu Chu's mouth.

"Zhongkang, stop talking nonsense!"

"You can guess this kind of thing?"

Su Chen said, "We really can't make random guesses about this kind of thing. It's mainly based on guesses. In fact, anyone could be the one. I mean, it was Ma Teng from Xiliang or Dongwu who deliberately made trouble."

Cao Cao was a little disappointed.

"So, I will never know the truth even if I wait my whole life?"

Su Chen asked, "That's not it, Prime Minister really wants to know?"

"Military advisor, do you have any ideas?" Cao Cao was delighted.

"Since Mr. Su said so, there must be a way." Xu Chu thought of something and said excitedly, "Sir, are you going to use the same method you used on Pang Tong before? Are you going to force all the princes to drink?"

"That's not the case. I have a simple solution."

Su Chen shook his head.

Although he did get a few truth charms before.

But he didn't want to waste it in such a place.

"A better way?"

Cao Cao looked up, and this time he was obviously curious.

Su Chen asked back.

"My lord, have you ever heard of the phrase 'a guilty conscience'?"
