The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Guo Jia was put into a coffin.The coffin was large, and the wood was not bad.

There were many officials from Yizhou. Nv Xin hugged Guo Yi, who was holding a soul-inducing banner in his hand. Nv Xin taught him to shout "The soul is back", and he could hear it every few steps. The crisp child's voice was mixed with Nu Xin's slightly hoarse voice.Spring leek and okra were also guarding the coffin to take care of them at any time, holding the silk-painted maps that Guo Jia had used in their hands, and the servant girl held Guo Jia's tablet as ordered by Nu Xin, and the group walked out of Yizhou city in a mighty manner. .

Guo Yi's chubby little hands waved the soul-inducing flag. In fact, he didn't know what happened. He was too young to even swing the flag steadily. He didn't know what sadness is or why he should be sad. His daughter Xin seemed to be in pain.Nu Xin hugged him and stopped every few steps. At this time, he knew it was time to shout "Hun Xi is back", so he shouted hard, thinking that Nu Xin should feel better doing so.Nu Xin also yelled, but she couldn't help but burst into tears as she yelled, as if it was more painful. Guo Yi was very puzzled, but he couldn't find out why. His brain, which was less than five years old, couldn't analyze such a complicated thing.

As soon as they left Yizhou City, the number of people decreased a lot, and the team suddenly became shabby. Except for Guo Yi, a few personal maids, and a few officials who had to go to Xudu, there were only twenty or so soldiers escorting them.Nu Xin suddenly understood Guo Jia's obsession with children. Guo Jia said: "I can't die without a funeral attendant by my side, just a group of irrelevant people watching the fun."

If Guo Jia did the right thing, then the others were wrong.

After nightfall, Nu Xin ordered a tent to be set up on the spot to rest.Soldiers have been fighting all year round, so it is very easy to do these things.Nu Xin summoned Chunjiu and Qiukui and told them: "Leave at sunrise and rest at sunset every day. Discuss with the accompanying officials in case of accidents, and act according to circumstances when encountering accidents. Try to protect Mr. Yi's safety. I can't go with you. I want to Hurry back to Xudu first, go to see Lord Xun Ling, and arrange Guo Jijiu's burial."

Chun Jiu and Qiu Kui panicked, but she couldn't think of anything to stop her. Nu Xin had already picked up her bag neatly, jumped on a horse led by a soldier, and galloped away.

Nu Xin has important things to do, and now everything is going according to plan, she can't enter Xudu with these people, she has to advance, she has to go to see Xun Yu before the news of Guo Jia's death reaches Xudu .

Nu Xin changed her clothes as soon as she was on the road, hid her filial piety clothes in her bag, dressed as a man, picked up the road, passed the customs all the way, and arrived in Xudu in a short time.Seeing that it was still early in the sky, Nu Xin frowned, beat her horse and lingered elsewhere for a while, until nightfall, when the city gate of Xudu was closed, Nu Xin came to the city to call for the gate.

The gatekeeper didn't recognize her, and asked her why she came. Nv Xin claimed that Guo Jia sent him back from Jijiu to tell Xun Lingjun about important matters, and then she put Guo Jia's bronze seal in a basket tied to the wall.The gatekeeper checked and opened the gate to let them pass.

Nu Xin entered the city, but she didn't go to Shang Shuling's mansion. She turned the horse's head and went to the mansion ruled by Guo Jia.Although Guo Jia has lived in the place where she worked for a long time, that is to say, she has always lived in Sikong Mansion, but she still fulfilled her promise of "must buy her own house".

Nu Xin opened the door with a key, because Guo Jia "couldn't afford too many idlers", the house was usually left unattended, so naturally she couldn't expect any servants to answer the door.According to Guo Jia's habits, she simply didn't even put much of her belongings here.Except for a couch, a few tables, a few mats, blankets and quilts, there is nothing left.Even the books he read were mostly thrown in Sikong Mansion, Guo Jia was not afraid of someone stealing them, since there was nothing good anyway.

Nu Xin entered the door, lit the oil lamp in the dark, then carefully moved the bed, lifted a small square brick, and easily took out a brocade box from inside.Open the brocade box again, inside is a... thick ballpoint pen.

Nu Xin deftly unscrewed the pen, and then peeled off a thin piece of silk from the outside of the refill—the official script was densely written in inexplicable blue ink on it.

This is Guo Jia's will, and Guo Jia made it long in advance.

This pen is Guo Jia's favorite pen. It is a pillar to prove Guo Jia's original identity, so that she will not be confused in this troubled world and can go on bravely. Although Nu Xin doesn't know the detailed reason, she knows This is Guo Jia's favorite pen.

Nu Xin carefully read the content on the silk silk twice, then thought for a moment, took it out and read it carefully from top to bottom with the faint light, and then put the will on the oil lamp without hesitation burnt.

The beautiful flame gently changed its shape with the curl of the silk fabric, reflecting Nu Xin's firm face.Nu Xin watched the will disappear without blinking, and made sure that there was nothing left, so she breathed a sigh of relief. After blowing out the lamp, she resolutely put on the heavy filial piety in the inner room, rubbed her eyes red, and touched it again. With the kit in my chest, I went out now.

Nu Xin knew very well that the will must not be kept.

The people in Shang Shuling's mansion are used to going to bed late, because Xun Yu always sleeps very late, and guests often come to visit at night.But a situation as weird as today probably only happens once in a lifetime.

Someone was smashing the front door desperately, and the servant who answered the door opened the latch. The first thing he saw was a girl in white kneeling in front of the door crying under the moonlight. It was really scary.

"Who are you?"

Nu Xin did not answer, but still cried loudly: "Jijiu... Jijiu... I want to see Lord Xunling! Jijiu asked me to come! Jijiu..."

Hearing the two titles of "Jijiu" and "Xun Lingjun", the servant did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went to inform Xun Yu.

When the maid knocked on the door, Xun Yu was still awake and was reading under the lamp with his coat on. After hearing the report, he was surprised and ordered someone to bring the girl.

Seeing Nu Xin's outfit, Xun Yu turned pale with shock: "Nu Xin! Why are you dressed like this! Where is Feng Xiao now?"

Nu Xin stopped crying when she saw Xun Yu, her face was expressionless, she knelt down in front of Xun Yu, and said dumbly but flatly: "Mr. Guo is dead."

Xun Yu didn't react for a while.

By the time he realized it, he had already fallen to the ground, and the maidservants on the left and right quickly came up to help him. Xun Yu ignored them and walked up to Nu Xin: "What did you say? Say it again!"

"Guo Jijiu is dead." Nu Xin really said it again, and said it more clearly.

Xun Yu suspected that he was dreaming, otherwise, why would his vision suddenly darken: "Why... nothing?" He didn't realize that his voice was trembling a little.

Nu Xin showed a mocking expression: "On the second day of September, she died of a sudden illness." After a pause, she added: "Sikong will definitely release the news like this when he comes back."

"Impossible!" Xun Yu's breath was unsteady, "Although Feng Xiao's health has not been good, but when he left, everything was normal! What's wrong! Where is Doctor Ji? Is there any evidence for him?"

Nu Xin looked at Xun Yu: "Are you sure you really want to know?"

Xun Yu felt as if he had just been pushed out of a dream, and his mind gradually cleared up. He looked up and looked around, and said to the maidservants, "Stand back."

Nu Xin felt very satisfied when she saw the maidservants retreating from the door one by one and closing the door tightly.

"Guo Jijiu was murdered."

Xun Yu thinks that I am clearly awake.

I know I'm sober.

But why do I still feel like I'm dreaming.

Nu Xin said that Feng Xiao was murdered by...? !

"Who did it?" Xun Yu looked sober indeed.He even asked this question very calmly.

"If I tell you the truth, will you avenge Guo Jijiu?"

"You tell me who did it first."

"Cao Mengde."

"Shut up!" Xun Yu shouted suddenly, "What are you talking about?"

"You heard me right, the person who murdered Guo Jijiu was Sikong Cao Cao Cao Mengde."

"Shut up!" Xun Yu snorted again, "I don't have any evidence to wantonly slander Sikong, I can get you right now..."

"Take me into custody and hand it over to Sikong; or just cut off my head, right?" Nu Xin said casually, as if she didn't take it seriously at all: "Yes. But if you do this, no one will ever be able to I took revenge for Guo Jijiu."

Xun Yu was silent for a long time, then looked at Nu Xin again: "What happened to Feng Xiao?"

Nu Xin met Xun Yu's eyes, her expression seemed to be smiling, but she suddenly cried: "When Mister went out with the army in February, the medical officer had already diagnosed that she was two months pregnant. Because Mr. is not in good health, the medical officer advised The husband lost the baby, and the medical officer said that if the husband gave up the child, he would be safe for ten years.

"But Mister didn't listen... No matter how much we tried to persuade him, we didn't listen. I had no choice but to go to see Sikong and ask Sikong to come forward to persuade Mister to have a baby. Sikong agreed at that time... He agreed... Then we all waited... But later, Sikong seemed to have forgotten about it, he didn't do anything...

"Not only that, Sikong Ming knew that Mister was not in good health, so he sent her with the army... During the expedition, Mister could not sleep well at night.

"With such a body, Mr. has endured three months of turbulence with the army... I arrived in Yizhou in May, and I really can't leave... Ling Jun, Shang Shuling! You really should go and see that Mr. Time, how thin she has become!

"Mr. was left in Yizhou, and Sikong led the team to continue the northern expedition to Wuhuan.

"On June [-]th, the child couldn't be kept... Mr. Ji tried his best, but he couldn't keep it. Not only that, but he also suffered from a blood collapse...

"We couldn't save her, we couldn't do anything, we just sat by and watched her bleed... Those days were hard, I dare not mention that word, but I have to think of it all the time! Mr. Yue She is getting weaker and weaker, and she falls asleep more and more. I am afraid that she will not wake up once she falls asleep. I want to call her, but I am afraid that disturbing her rest will make her more painful. I can only Watch her, every quarter or half an hour to see if she's just asleep...

"Mr. woke up on the second day of September...it was much better than the day before. She was finally able to talk to me, but she didn't finish talking...she left without finishing talking...

"Mr. left at the fifth watch...it was at the fifth watch..."

Nu Xin was sobbing.

Xun Yu didn't know what to say: "Feng Xiao... Feng Xiao unexpectedly... actually..."

"It's Sikong's child," Nu Xin wiped away her tears, trying to make her voice clear, "Before Sikong left Yizhou, he had already named the child Cao He. As I said, if you don't believe Xun Lingjun, you can ask Ji gentlemen."

"So Fengxiao is for Sikong..."

"But what did Sikong do for Mr.! Mr. Cao told me that in the early years Mr. Cao had the saying 'I would rather blame others'. Mr. Cao would not suffer a little loss. He wanted everything. He wanted Mr. Cao to be a counselor to help him with advice. The court blocked the guns and went back to raise food, and asked the husband to help him with the big and small affairs of the Sikong Mansion, and finally he wanted...he has so many sons! He is not satisfied!"

"What you said..." Xun Yu interrupted Nu Xin, "Does Feng Xiao know all about it?"

"know."

"Feng Xiao knows that he is not in good health, but he still insists on joining the army and getting pregnant. Feng Xiao knows that Si Kong also wants this child. Feng Xiao knows that Si Kong will not persuade her to have a baby. Even—Feng Xiao knows that he may die because of this, right? ?”

"Yes."

"That is to say, everything is voluntary by Fengxiao?"

Nu Xin burst into tears and laughed: "What do you want to say, Mr. Xun Ling? You want to say that because the husband is voluntary, everything is to blame on the husband himself? What is wrong with the husband's willingness? The husband would rather risk his life, so all the responsibility is on the husband himself Is it true? Who made Mr. so diligent, who made him so infatuated? Is this what Xun Lingjun meant? Just like Shen Zhengnan, who was blamed by everyone for not being able to choose the leader and face north, and died—does Xun Lingjun know how Mr. commented on him? Mr. said: Shenzhengnan is a gentleman! A gentleman has no faults! What is wrong with not being able to choose the master? Those who blame Shenzhengnan, there are a few who can guarantee that their choice will not be wrong!"

Hearing the judge's name, Xun Yu's face changed slightly.

"I don't care if sir is voluntary or not, I just know that if Sikong had kept his word, things wouldn't be what they are today..." Nu Xin choked up again.

"Then why did you come to me?"

"Revenge. Vengeance for Mister."

"How to take revenge?"

"If Mr. Xun Ling wants to avenge his husband, I have a solution."

"What way? Go to Sikong's side to serve him and poison him? Or wait for an opportunity to assassinate? Impossible, I advise you not to do this, anyone who does this will die, I don't want to catch up with you, and ruin Fengxiao I will be famous forever."

Nu Xin wiped her tears, disdainful of Xun Yu's words: "It's nothing to kill Cao Mengde. He still has sons and grandsons. The power of the Cao family will not be affected. What I want to revenge is all he has." ! Since his current country is credited with Mr.'s hard work, then I want his country to be buried with him!"

"You take a big breath! It's up to you!"

"No, it's not me. I have the ability to do it. The only one who has the ability to do this is sir."

Under Xun Yu's surprised eyes, Nu Xin took out a kit from her bosom and handed it to Xun Yu: "This is what my husband left for Sikong on his deathbed...I hid it."

Xun Yu took it over and read it. After reading the front side, he found that there were still marks on the back side, so he read it in reverse.After reading it, I pondered for a long time.

"Do you understand the meaning of what Feng Xiao wrote?"

"I probably know what it is, but I don't know why. But you know better than me, so you should be able to understand it."

"You want me to do what's written on it?"

"This was written on the [-]th day of the [-]rd of August, the second day of the [-]th month. On the [-]nd day of the [-]th month, the sire asked me to show this to Sikong on his deathbed, and not to borrow other people's hands. Moreover, the sire hesitated when he wrote the first few words, and put the word 'Sikong' Changed to "Wei Gong", I guess Mr. must have known something, using Wei Gong to call Sikong, maybe Sikong will become Wei Gong in the future. Mr. also mentioned "Wei Guo" when he died, so I guess these contents, especially the back Those ten words must be the master plan for Sikong to make the world safe." Nu Xin answered irrelevantly.

"So you have to..."

"Since this is An Tianxia's big plan, it is also very simple to overthrow the world, as long as - reverse it."

"presumptuous!"

Nu Xin is not afraid of Xun Yu at all, she will definitely look at Xun Yu: "It's a very simple way, if you do it, you can avenge your husband. For Xun Lingjun, it's easy, will Xun Lingjun do this?"

Xun Yu looked at the silk in his hand, and then at Nu Xin: "Why did you come to me? I am Shang Shuling, and I am responsible for the big and small affairs of the Sikong territory. My responsibility is stability, not turmoil. You Why do you think I will agree?"

"Because, even I can see some things. Mister can see it too. I believe Sikong can also see it." Nu Xin replied inexplicably, "Mr. Xun Ling, Mr. mentioned you before his death..."

"What did Feng Xiao say?!"

"Sir, I'm sorry, let me tell you that you must retire early."

Xun Yu recalled that Guo Jia had indeed said something similar, jokingly, when he drank for the last time before he decided to defect to Cao Cao, Guo Jia said that in the long run, he was not advised to serve under Cao Cao.

Xun Yu unfolded the piece of silk again, looked at the ten characters on the back, and suddenly asked Nv Xin: "The word Sima has been changed. It seems that a word was written before. Is this really changed by Feng Xiao?" ?”

Nu Xin sneered: "You don't believe me. You still don't believe me even after I told the truth about subverting the Cao family. You suspect that I changed it."

"Yes."

"Then do you think that I alone have the ability to think so far of Mr.? I will think of Jiangdong Wugong Sima Unusable? Let me tell you the truth, I don't understand these ten words at all. If I understand, maybe I don't need your help." I just know that no one would think of attacking Jiangdong now, and I don't know who this Sima is referring to. I only know that Sima Lang is Sikong's best friend, and his grown-up sons are all there. The Sikong Mansion was a minor official, and the second son Sima Yi has a lot to do with Jijiu. But I also know that Xun Lingjun will understand the timing and reason why Jiangdong cannot be attacked, and which Sima is not available."

Xun Yu has nothing to say. Nu Xin is right. No one would think of attacking Jiangdong now. Everyone thinks that it would be good if Jiangdong didn’t come to attack Xudu at this time. There are many people in the Sima family. Which one or several people need attention.But Xun Yu knew that before Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan, he and Guo Jia had assisted Cao Cao in drawing up a battle plan after the conquest of Wuhuan. The three of them believed that the next step should be Jiangdong, but Guo Jia expressed some inexplicable concerns.As for Sima, Xun Yu knew exactly who Guo Jia was referring to.

Nu Xin did not lie, this is indeed Guo Jia's own legacy.However, another question Xun Yu is thinking about now is: this Yan is Guo Jia's initial imaginary enemy, who could it be?Why was it changed later?This person used to be the number one confidant of the Cao Cao Group in Guo Jia's mind, but is Sima even more dangerous than the person Guo Jia is most worried about?

Xun Yu thought of another thing: "Nv Xin, you think about revenge too simply. Who is Sikong, isn't he as thoughtful as you? You secretly concealed the suicide note left by Feng Xiao, and the others Wouldn't you know at all? Even if others don't know, wouldn't Sikong summon you to inquire about Fengxiao's dying matter?"

Nu Xin sneered again: "I'm just a small person, and my biggest bargaining chip is that Sikong never thought that I would have premeditated plans and the ability to avenge my husband. As for Xun Lingjun's worries... I have already taken care of it. Xun Lingjun, don't underestimate me , I have been with Mr. for 12 years anyway, and I have not learned the strategy of governing the country from the book of war, and I am still sure about such things as conspiracy."

Xun Yu put the kit in his arms: "I still can't fully believe your idea."

"I said that I don't have such a brilliant idea. This idea is actually from Mr. Xun Lingjun, doesn't Mr. Xun believe?"

"I do not believe you."

"Then let's make a bet, Mr. Bet is right." Nu Xin didn't panic.

"How to bet?"

"Before his death, Mr. Wang said something very strange."

"What do you say?"

"She referred to Sikong as prime minister without any warning or explanation... As far as I know, a strong man has not had a prime minister for hundreds of years. I think sir knows that Sikong must be prime minister. If Sikong really proclaims himself prime minister in the future, It proves that what you said is correct. Jiangdong cannot be attacked and Sima cannot be used. It must be very beneficial to Sikong. If the situation is reversed, something will happen. If the husband is right, I ask Xun Lingjun to do what he said without hesitation— —Do it the other way around.” After Nu Xin finished speaking, without waiting for Xun Yu to speak, she stood up on her own, turned and walked outside.

"You have miscalculated." Xun Yu's voice sounded behind Nu Xin, "You said you wanted to avenge Feng Xiao, and you believed that I would agree to your revenge because of Feng Xiao. But have you ever thought about Feng Xiao's revenge?" For the sake of Sikong, Xiao can sacrifice her life, if she knows your current plan, will she be chilled? I will not do things that make Feng Xiao chill."

Then Nu Xin heard the soft "snap" sound of the cloth bag falling on the carpet, she knew that Xun Yu had dropped the kit.

"Hehe..." Nu Xin smiled lowly, "I've thought about this a long time ago, but my husband said three words on his deathbed.

"what?"

Nu Xin said word by word: "Mr. said on his deathbed that she regretted it later."

After finishing speaking, Nu Xin pushed open the door and walked out.

"Female Xin!"

Nu Xin stopped in her tracks.

"You... what will you do in the future?"

Nu Xin didn't turn her head back: "Go to complete the last will of the husband, and then go to the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, where the husband has always wanted to go, to worship the Buddha and chant sutras, and wait to see the revenge of the husband. How I live, I won't bother Xun Lingjun to worry about it."

Xun Yu looked at Nu Xin's back, and picked up the brocade bag on the ground again.

The author has something to say:

The author did not understand the funeral system of the Han Dynasty, so he wrote it scribbled.

What Guo Jia said at the end of "regret" is different from what Xun Yu understood, but Nu Xin made him misunderstand on purpose.

In fact, the author likes Nu Xin very much. The author's friend said that seeing Nu Xin made him feel like "Fire and Phoenix Started a Plain".But the author didn't understand any of the strategies in "Fire and Phoenix Started a Plain", there is no way, the level is too bad.
