[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

Flying snow blinds the eyes, and the road ahead is difficult.

A thick layer of snow has accumulated on the stone bricks in front of the mansion gate, stepping on them lightly, one's feet will inevitably be covered with slush.The Tang family sent Xun You to the gate of the mansion, thanked the person with a smile, and said in a gentle and friendly voice, "It's Lao Gongda. It's snowing like this, and you actually came here just for these spices."

"You have already said that today is a business trip, and I just happened to meet a incense seller on the way. Auntie doesn't need to be so polite."

Cloves, sandalwood, tonka, borneol... How can these rare and expensive incenses be owned by peddlers in the city?It can only be obtained through various channels over a long period of time.Tang knew this well, but still smiled and refused to point it out.I thought to myself of this intention, and I will know it when my husband returns to the house, and let their uncles and nephews "reciprocate" by themselves.

The servant pushed the rich door away, and the two exchanged some pleasantries, and then Xun You got into the carriage to say goodbye.At this moment, the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from a distance, and the sound gradually became like thunder from far to near.Across the heavy snow, the people present opened their eyes wide and looked hard, but they could only vaguely distinguish that it was a horse galloping forward like crazy, pulling the dilapidated carriage behind it, bumping violently up and down, and issuing orders. The voice of fear.Anyone who has some experience knows that if this crazy horse is allowed to pull the carriage, sooner or later the carriage will crash and people will die.

However, before Tang ordered his servants to help, he saw a figure rising from behind the horse, jumping onto the horse's back, a silver light flashed, blood sprayed out, and the white snow was bright red.Crazy Horse neighed desperately, kicked softly, and just pulled the carriage behind him and fell to the gate of Xun Mansion, not missing an inch.

Before everyone could recover from this critical situation, they saw the man on the horse flip over and rush towards the Xun Mansion.His hair was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and his body was covered in mud, snow and blood, except for the dagger in his hand, which was still warm from the horse's blood, glowing coldly.But when the person got closer, everyone was surprised to find that this embarrassing and gloomy visitor was actually a woman, and it was actually Xi Wu who was beside Guo Jijiu.

"Mr. was assassinated! Go get the doctor!"

As soon as the person who spread the news in the Xun Mansion said the word "assassinated", there was a "pop", and the teacup was smashed to pieces.

Cao Cao stood up abruptly, stepped over the debris on the ground, and walked quickly outside the house, shouting, "Xu Chu!"

Xu Chu, who was guarding the door, immediately responded, "Here!"

"Immediately send someone to Jijiu Mansion to call Hua Tuo to Xun Mansion! If he doesn't go, he will be tied up!"

"Yes!"

Xu Chu took the order, but found that Cao Cao was walking towards the gate of the mansion with him, even faster than him.Xu Chu trotted to catch up and raised his sleeves to cover Cao Cao from the snow, but was waved away by Cao Cao, stepping on the ankle-deep snow with flying steps.

"Prepare a horse for the lonely!" Cao Cao galloped all the way, and the appearance of Cao Cao covered in snow startled the concierge. Just as he was about to say, "It is better to prepare a carriage than such a heavy snow", he was startled by the hostility in Cao Cao's eyes again, and hurriedly Silently, he trotted to the stable to pull out the horse. Before he could say anything, Cao Cao grabbed the reins, jumped on the horse, and left.

The Xun Mansion was not far from the Sikong Mansion, and under him was a BMW that traveled thousands of miles a day, but Cao Cao still whipped the horse fiercely over and over again, making the horse run faster and faster.

The sporadic fragments of last night's dream flashed through my mind quickly.It was also snowing heavily and icy cold, but what passed by was not the streets of Xudu, but the boundless yellow sand.He seemed to have won a great victory, but he didn't hold a banquet to celebrate his success, let alone sing and dance to celebrate. Only in the desert covered with heavy snow, he urged the army to move forward at full speed over and over again, and the roar from his throat filled with wind, sand and cold snow was heard. In the boundless desert, powerless and desperate.

But he still took a step too late, and there was only a cold corpse to greet his big victory.Even though he was still wearing the romantic Tsing Yi, even though his face was as jade-like, and the corners of his lips were full of willfulness, he knew that the person lying on the couch in front of him would never open those clear and smiling eyes again. His eyes swept across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and in a few words, he pointed out the situation for him.

"Snapped!"

Life and death?Yin and Yang separated?

Cao Cao swung his whip again, to drive away the grief and despair that kept welling up in his heart, but he couldn't dispel the almost suffocating panic.This lingering fear forced him not to take a step slowly, even if his shoulders were covered with snow and his hair was graying.

Whether it is destiny or not, this time, he will not let go easily!

Everyone knows that Xun??

Not long after, Cheng Jiping, the imperial physician, arrived at the Xun Mansion.Seeing that he just got out of the carriage, everyone asked where the patient was, and then hurried over with a heavy suitcase on their backs.

"It's too cold in this room, turn on the stove."

As soon as he entered the room, Ji Ping spoke in a tough and unceremonious tone.A mere four hundred shi imperial physician shouldn't be so rude, but none of the people present minded this.Xun You hurriedly ordered his servants to light the charcoal basin, and then walked to the soft couch where Guo Jia was lying.

Although he had been mentally prepared, when Ji Ping carefully peeled off the blood-soaked clothes layer by layer from the wound with a knife to expose the wound, his heart was still shocked.This arrow was originally aimed directly at the heart. Although the crossbowman was a master of archery, the angle of his hand was slightly off the point by a few inches, but after going through the bumps of the carriage, the depth of the arrow made the wound even more ferocious. Terrible, if Ji Ping hadn't just taken Guo Jia's pulse and confirmed the faint but real pulse, he would have completely believed that the person he was going to treat was already a dead person.

Thinking of the woman's narration just now, he was secretly startled. After suffering such a serious injury, he still had to ride a carriage in such bad weather to come to Xun Mansion, which is a long way away. Is Guo Jia desperate? !

Although they want to get rid of Guo Jia quickly, they hope that Cao □□ will be in front of Guo Jia!

"This arrow" was at the angle that Ji Ping deliberately revealed, and Yuwu, who was standing by the couch, really noticed the unusualness of this arrow.Her expression changed in an instant, and her original worry was instantly filled with anger and murderous intent, she turned and walked quickly outside the house.

Xun You, who also noticed the problem, saw Xiwu's actions and cried out in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly chased after Xiwu, fearing that Xiwu's impulsiveness would make the out-of-control situation worse.

In this way, there are only some servants left in the house, and they all stand far away, so they can't see clearly.Ji Ping calmed down, quickly found a porcelain bottle from the medicine box, poured out two pills, and put the pills into Guo Jia's mouth, pretending to be observing the wound and covering it with his sleeve.

The manpower has been exhausted, whether the plan can go ahead, we can only hope that the so-called genius doctor Hua Tuo really has the art of bringing the dead back to life.

Seeing Cao Cao coming galloping alone on horseback, the servants of the Xun Mansion were half surprised, half expected, and immediately led Cao Cao into the mansion.The incident happened suddenly, and because of the bumping of the carriage, the arrow pierced deeper, bleeding profusely at the slightest movement.But Guo Jia could not be allowed to stay in the ice and snow, so Xun You immediately asked his servants to carry Guo Jia to a soft couch in the side room of the main hall closest to the entrance of the mansion.As soon as Cao Cao entered the front hall, he saw Xun You and the embarrassed and gloomy woman beside him. Cao Cao stared for a few seconds before he recognized that it was Xi Wu beside Guo Jia.

"Calm down!" Xun You, who is used to restraint and self-preservation, is rarely anxious. "Now everything is unclear, and acting rashly will undoubtedly make things worse!"

"I don't care what the situation is! Now that I know who did it, I will never let her go!"

"An arrow doesn't mean anything! If it was really his hand, how could it leave such an obvious flaw. You calm down first, and we will..."

"Even if it wasn't him, he was involved in it. It's not a pity to die! You are so indecisive and hesitant. You are not like the stabbed Xun Gongda I knew back then!"

"Enough!" Cao Cao, who stepped into the front hall, interrupted their dispute sharply, "Where is Fengxiao?!"

"In the side room, Imperial Physician Cheng Jiping is treating." Seeing that Cao Cao finally arrived, Xun You calmed down and led Cao Cao to the side room. In the dark, he tightly held on to Xi Wu's sleeve, and half-dragged her Also pulled to the side room.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a strong smell of blood rushed to the face, already hinting at how bad the situation of the people on the couch behind the screen was.Quickly walking around the screen, Cao Cao saw Guo Jia lying on the couch, unconscious and bloodless, but the wound on his chest was dripping with blood, stabbing Cao Cao's eyes and heart like a knife.

When facing Xun You, Ji Ping dared to pretend that he was in danger and did not show courtesy, but when facing Cao Cao, he did not dare to show any negligence. Cao Cao, who was still extremely anxious, paused for a long time before asking cautiously, "How is Feng Xiao doing now?"

The subtle trembling, mixed with the low and calm tone, made the listeners tremble with fear.It seems that asking this sentence represents the last string of Cao Cao's emotions. Once he gets the answer he doesn't want to hear, the consequences will be so serious that even Xun You, who is standing beside Cao Cao, can't imagine.

Before this, Ji Ping knew that he had to face the situation in front of him, but he didn't expect that even if he was mentally prepared, he couldn't stop his body from trembling slightly because of fear.Gritting his teeth secretly, he tried his best to reply in a calm tone: "Reporting to Cao Sikong, the arrow on Guo Jijiu's body must be shot immediately. There is still a chance of survival. But the arrow is too close to the mouth and penetrates too deep. It's hard to do it!" Gathering up the courage to say the last four words, Ji Ping felt that all his strength was also gone.As vicious as Cao Cao, in a fit of rage, it is entirely possible for someone's head to fall at any time because of these four characters.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao seemed to calm down in an instant, and his expression was strangely calm.He only heard him reply "I know", and stood by the couch, his eyes were fixed on the bloody wound, and his eyes were red.

"My lord..." Seeing Cao Cao's reaction like this, Xun You felt very worried. He wanted to speak out to persuade him, but he was at a loss for words for a while, feeling that nothing he said would help the matter.At this moment, Xu Chu suddenly came with a person, and bowed to Cao Cao: "My lord, Hua Tuo brought it here!"

Hua Tuo arrived, and as Cao Cao's order said, it was a big tie.

"Untie him!"

"Yes!"

When Hua Tuo saw the dying Guo Jia on the couch, his expression moved slightly, which was immediately covered by indifference.He looked at Cao Cao and said, "Mr. Cao kidnapped me, but it won't help. Tuo has sworn that Guo Jia's life and death have nothing to do with Tuo."

"You have a wife, two sons and a daughter, and they are all in the house in Xudu West City. Gu can bring them here at any time. If you refuse again, Gu will cut a piece of their meat for you to eat." Cao Cao The voice was as cold as ice, and the content was extremely cruel. Except for Xun You, everyone in the horrified room changed their faces, "I have witnessed roasting cannibals at Dong Zhuo's place alone, and the key points are clear."

Hua Tuo was shocked for a while, then suddenly sneered, and mocked: "Sure enough, I shouldn't have believed Guo Jia's words."

"Gu has known where your family is. Don't forget, the octopus guard is Gu's hidden guard after all." Cao Cao said, "You should also know that Gu is the commander of the three armies. Gu's order, Guo Jia is just a counselor, whether you or the people of Xuzhou, if you want to scold or hate, come to me Cao Mengde, what's the matter with Guo Jia!"

Speaking of the last word, Cao Cao's voice still couldn't help but be filled with anger and... sadness.So much so that Hua Tuo saw the faint begging from Cao Cao's murderous phoenix eyes.

He kept saying that he was just a counselor, but he was as domineering as Cao Mengde, and he was willing to show such an expression for his life and death.

Because of this, did you choose to die as a confidant if you were greedy for life in the past?

Hua Tuo turned his eyes to Guo Jia who was dying on the couch, but he didn't get any answer as expected.

Or maybe he got this obvious answer a long time ago.

With a deep sigh in his heart, Hua Tuo finally nodded, but not to save him.

He knows Guo Jia's body better than anyone else. Whether or not there was this assassination, the poison has penetrated deep into his bones, and his death today is a foregone conclusion.

No one knew what was going on in his mind, everyone present just saw him nodding, and couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, Ji Ping quickly got up to make room for Hua Tuo.

Seeing that Hua Tuo had caught Guo Jia's pulse, everyone's expression changed suddenly. They waited for a long time in disbelief before moving away, and gave Guo Jia a deep, obscure look. After a while, they suddenly said urgently: :

"Except Duke Cao, everyone else is going out!"

Everyone was taken aback.Xun You looked at Cao Cao secretly, and after Cao Cao nodded, he retreated to the main hall with the bewildered crowd.

However, Cao Cao actually didn't know why Hua Tuo would say this, but he had no choice but to doubt people or employ people.

However, the moment the door closed, Hua Tuo immediately opened Guo Jia's clenched left hand, and a golden needle stabbed firmly in the blood-covered acupuncture point. Guo Jia, who was supposed to be unconscious, slowly opened his mouth Eye.

"Since the serious injury, you still need to prick the acupoints with golden needles to stay awake. You are afraid of surviving, aren't you?" Seeing Guo Jia's behavior, Hua Tuo finally couldn't calm down, and he was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say.

"Jia must make sure that if this disaster is inevitable, Duke Ming knows what will happen next." Excessive blood loss and severe pain made Guo Jia's vision blurry, but he tried his best to keep his voice clear with the power of golden needles.After saying this, he seemed to have just seen Cao Cao behind Hua Tuo, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help laughing, but the pain instantly shattered, "Ming Gong, Dong..."

"Needless to say!" However, Cao Cao interrupted Guo Jia harshly first, and before Guo Jia could react, he pulled out the golden needle on the acupuncture point on Guo Jia's palm.He turned to look at Hua Tuo, and said, "What do you need to prepare when you draw the arrow?"

"There are all the necessary things here. But just in case, I need to let him drink Mabosan first, so as to reduce the risk of getting an arrow out."

"Okay, go alone."

"Duke Ming!" Guo Jia grabbed Cao Cao's sleeve, but quickly slid it off slowly, only insisting, "Life and death are unknown, at least let Jia finally..."

"Guo Fengxiao!" Interrupting Guo Jia again, Cao Cao's eyes were full of anger, and the scolding that was about to be blurted out finally turned into a sigh.Hua Tuo saw it, and said at the right time: "This medicine is complicated, I will prepare it myself." Seeing Cao Cao nod, he walked out quickly.

"Duke Ming, it's Wu..."

Guo Jia struggled to report the information he had obtained to Cao Cao before his consciousness completely drifted away, but he was interrupted again before he could say a few words.This time, it was not words, but a burn on the lips.

The fleeting light touch finally stopped the person's words as expected, Cao Cao stood up slightly, looked solemnly at Guo Jia's eyes that were suddenly widened because of shock, and said in a deep and slow voice:

"No matter what it is, wait until you wake up, and then talk to Gu."

Time seemed to be frozen at this moment.Guo Jia stared back at Cao Cao's eyes in a daze, trying to extract the complicated and obscure emotions one by one, but unfortunately, after the final consciousness was defeated, he, who was good at understanding people's hearts, could not see clearly after all.

"Ming Gong, you are really cunning..."

Whispering and leaving the last sentence, Guo Jia finally left a faint smile on his lips, letting his already overdrawn body sink into the darkness.

The wheels rolled up the wind and snow, and the wind and snow withered the courtyard orchids.The servants at the gate of the Xun Mansion saw that Mr. Xun Lingjun, who had always been gentle and calm when he got off the carriage, was not able to hold up an umbrella for him at this time, and hurriedly walked towards the front hall in the face of the flying snow.

"What happened to Fengxiao?"

"I have met Xun Lingjun." Ji saluted.

"Uncle?!" Vulgar beech orangutan 13? ァ!Bi? ?Prolonged throwing quality?Resisting the media??X Kejiao refuted?Ang?Midfly dream Yi steal pay Xian caries?Twisted drunk??U change Sheng Xinglong! ?br>

"..." After listening to Xun You's words, Xun?? Locust, yellow, silkworm, Lu Chu? Scraping and melting? Shooting?? Tunpupai? Cherry? ?br>

His voice seemed to be icy, making those who heard it terrified.

"Uncle..." Xun You was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to respond.How could he have forgotten that no matter how well he concealed it, in Xun??

"It doesn't matter,?? Carry the money and pay for it?! The bottom of the cow knocks the oars and bears the scorpion. Boring Zhentao? Ne Zheng? 14 Mou? Ding?br>

"Since Xun Lingjun doesn't want His Majesty to clash with Cao Sikong, it should be up to Qian Gang to decide whether to break the knife."

Before, in the Sikong Mansion, Guo Jia asked the same jokingly, if the emperor wanted to kill him, Xun? Naively thought that everything hadn't reached the point of fighting with each other.

The sound of the curtain being lifted broke the oppressive silence.Cao Cao and Hua Tuo came out, although they wiped it, but Xun?? ?br>

"Doctor Hua, how about filial piety?" Xun You asked hurriedly when he saw someone coming out.

"The arrow is shot, and the blood has stopped for the time being. But the wound is too deep and almost fatal. We need to see if there will be a fever tonight." Hua Tuo replied, his frown always seemed to indicate The actual situation is more serious than what he said.

At this time, Xi Wu suddenly walked in from outside the hall.She left before with the reason of "going to change clothes", but when she came back, the old clothes were still covered in blood. Xun You, who let her go, had a faint guess in his heart.Xiwu bowed to Cao Cao with fists cupped, and said, "Yang Biao has captured the octopus guard. Xiwu acted without authorization, please punish me, my lord."

"My lord, this matter is obviously related to Yang..."

"You did a good job." Cao Cao interrupted Xun You with a wave of his hand.What the raised hand was holding was the blood-stained gun.Obviously, when Cao Cao saw this arrow, he also came to the same conclusion as Xiwu. "Before Feng Xiao recovered from his illness, Man Chong was in charge of the octopus guard affairs. Yang Biao also handed it over to him." In the hands of Man Chong, who is familiar with the punishment of cruel officials, Yang Biao will not die, but he will not live well either.

"My lord." At this time, Xun?? vomited and howled? Zhong?

"Wen Ruo! I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore."

"?? Ellipse? Note?? Shoutout? Eggplant neodymium! Avoid?? Fei < Xun Baomu? Si Xie Ba Low? You Lu blowing the screen to create a pan and dirty tarsus? Said the bag is hopeful? Eight ?yu?

Cao Cao was surprised.He knows that Xun?

He looked at the Xun Ou 14 stilts in front of him, chrysanthemum valerian wood? yo towering over 缂 badger building?? Mo Mu Jie Nai? Character school?

and killing intent.

This time, Xu Du really had to clean up.

With four eyes facing each other, Cao Cao and Xun??Ya?〉Mei Si Cai Ding 2 悺傺劬σSpring ǎ??

"Imperial Physician Cheng Jiping? You wrote the prescription for the lonely doctor's headache?"

"Back to Sikong, it's my servant."

Seeing that he was courteous and thoughtful, neither arrogant nor humble, Cao Cao's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and said: "Doctor Hua stays at the mansion to treat Guo Jijiu, and you will be responsible for Gu's medicine until Guo Jijiu recovers."

"I obey."

Guo Jia once joked that all his luck was on the battlefield, so he never got lucky outside of that.And this time too.In the middle of the night, he started to have a fever, and even after taking a pair of secondary medicines, there was no effect. In the end, Hua Tuo had to use strong medicines to save the pulse that was about to disappear, but it also caused Guo Jia Always in a coma, the day of waking up is nowhere in sight.

Hearing the expected news from Sikong Mansion, Dong Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, the white chess in his hand finally landed on the board.

In fact, Guo Jia, who was supposed to be unconscious as planned by the rumors and someone with a heart, slowly opened his eyes on the third day.Although it is true that the serious injury has not healed, his complexion is as pale as paper, and he can't even sit up.But in those clear eyes, there is a completely different vitality and brilliance from the past.

Now that the opponent's chess strategy has been fully explored, it is up to them to play the next chess game.
