Master book fish farming these years [Three Kingdoms]

The military seal of the governor of Pingxi was sent to Cao Cao's case.

Cao Cao remained silent, his face so gloomy that water dripped from it.

The room was so quiet that you could even hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground, the servants held their breath and kept their voices down, for fear of getting into trouble.

The messenger standing in the lobby lowered his head, wishing he could get into the cracks in the floor.

God, why did he get caught in the middle of the fight between these two, he was just an errand runner.

"What else did he say?"

Cao Cao finally spoke with a deep and majestic voice, which made everyone's hearts tremble, and they couldn't help but sweat for Ruan Qing.After all, there are not many people who dare to dump the face of Lord Hades in these years.

The messenger swallowed his saliva, and with the thick and thick eyes that were almost substantive under pressure, he replied with difficulty, "Also, he also said... I demoted myself to a commoner and stayed in Yizhou. From then on, my life and death have nothing to do with Duke Wei. .”

After finishing speaking, the messenger finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I only heard Cao Cao sneer from above.

The messenger's heart sank again, and he hurriedly said, "This is what the governor said."

"Okay, okay." Cao Cao opened his left hand and picked up the lid of the lacquer box. With his right hand, he slowly stroked the textured engraving on the top of the big seal. His cold expression was mixed with sarcasm. "It's really big, and the heart is wild."

"Since he wants to stay, let him stay."

Knocking on the lid with a 'click', Cao Cao raised his eyes, his eyes were lingering, and he ordered indifferently, "Worship Ruan Qing as the prefect of Hanzhong. Tell him..."

Obviously very angry, Cao Cao gritted his teeth again, and said word by word, "No justice, no return."

If you don't pacify Yizhou, you will never return to the court.

The messenger hurriedly saluted and left.

Yuan Qing, who had been hiding in the back of the hall, dared to come forward, stopped beside the desk, bowed his knees, and carefully put a cup of water soaked in heat-clearing and fire-relieving herbs on the desk.

Cao Cao frowned, a deep furrow formed between his brows.He looked sideways, saw Yuan Qing, suddenly picked up the water glass and threw it on Yuan Qing, angrily said, "You bastard, when have you ever seen Moore like this, can't you learn it?"

The tea was poured all over Yuan Qing's body, and he was wearing thin clothes at this time, but fortunately the water was warm and did not cause any burns.

Yuan Qing's front was wet, and drops of water hung on his white face.Due to this anger for no reason, his eyes turned red instantly, he could only endure the grievance, and quickly knelt on the ground, lowered his head and bit his lower lip tightly, looking very pitiful.

Cao Cao stared at Yuan Qing closely, thinking of when Ruan Qing was wronged and cried.Tears fell like broken beads, wet the slender eyelashes, sobbed silently, then raised his eyes, and carefully looked at him with the bright red eyes at the corners of the tail, which made people feel soft After a while, Ren Tianda's anger disappeared inexplicably.

Looking at Yuan Qing in front of him now, he is timid and humble, except for his face, he can't compare to Ruan Qing in anything.The more Cao Cao looked at it, the more he felt the difference between the two, and the more he looked at it, the more disgusting Yuan Qing looked.

"If you want to imitate Moore begging for mercy, you can also imitate it!" Cao Cao's forehead bulged, and he directed all his firepower at Yuan Qing, "Get out yet."

Yuan Qing hurriedly put the cup that fell on the ground on the tray, and walked backwards.

Cao Cao took a rough breath, leaned on the table behind him, and pressed his fingers on the twitching temples.

He missed Ruan Qing a little bit. When he was angry before, no one dared to step forward to touch his bad luck, only this little dumpling.Always beat his legs and shoulders, or carefully shake his sleeves slowly, to persuade him not to get angry.

He looked at the servants standing on guard, and felt that none of them were satisfactory, so he said, "Everyone back down."

The servants saluted and came out one by one.

After all, he was the only one left in the hall.He looked at the empty surroundings, outside the door were endless pavilions and palaces.The breeze passed through the hall, and the ears were filled with hollow whistling.

At this moment, Cao Cao, who had long been used to standing on top of ten thousand people, felt a little lonely in his heart.

He used to start from scratch, and when he established his foundation, he was lost and lonely. At that time, Ruan Qing, who was by his side, could easily detect his emotions, and then quietly took his hand, looking at him with a pair of bright and obedient eyes .Although he didn't speak, those eyes told him firmly that he would always be by his side.

He has many civil servants and military generals, but the one he likes the most is that he still needs to be taught, Ruan Qing is the most incapable person in the camp, and Guo Jia, who has passed away long ago, is not as good as him.

But now...

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's gaze, which was still a little emotional, turned cold in an instant.

He is 20 years older than Ruan Qing, so it is impossible for him to be by Ruan Qing's side forever.Looking at all the officials, after a hundred years, he only rest assured that Ruan Qing is alone.He had to make Ruan Qing invincible and able to take the lead alone.After his death, without his protection, the courtiers in the court were not easy to get along with.

Yuan Qing went out and walked in the aisle, tears couldn't stop falling, and he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only lower his head and wipe his face with his sleeve from time to time, walking straight forward.

A person stepped out of the slanting stab and stood in front of him.

He was about to go around, when he heard a smile in the elegant and moist voice, "Where is Yuan Zong going so busy?"

Yuan Qing heard a familiar voice, suddenly raised his head, and saw a smiling handsome face.

Cao Zhi looked at Qing Yuanqing's distressed appearance, the corners of his mouth that were originally raised drooped, and he asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

When someone asked such a question, Yuan Qing's heart suddenly became sour, and the grievance wished to break through the sky.He pouted slightly and shook his head silently, just weeping.

When Cao Zhi saw it, he became even more anxious. He hurriedly pulled him aside, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to help Yuanqing wipe away tears, and asked, "Father punished you again? Hasn't father been more tolerant to you these years? Difficult for you?."

"No." Yuan Qing looked up, looked at Cao Zhi with wet eyes, and whispered, "Don't ask."

He gently pushed away the hand that wiped his tears, "My lord, be careful too. It's not a joke to be seen by the servants and spread to Duke Wei's ears."

He wiped his face with his sleeve and said with a smile, "What are you doing, sir?"

"I have something to go to my father." Cao Zhi said.

"My lord, just wait a little longer. Wei Gong is angry." Yuan Qing said in a soft voice, "The governor of Pingxi refused to come back, and resigned on the spot, asserting that he has nothing to do with Wei Gong. Wei Gong sees I was in a hurry when I came here. I was granted the title of Dadu Dudu as the prefect of Hanzhong, saying that I will not return if I am wronged."

"Oh? What else is there?" Cao Zhi rolled his eyes slightly and pondered, as if he was thinking about something.Suddenly he chuckled.

"Young master, what are you laughing at?"

"I laughed at Mr. Ruan because he might have offended his father this time. Otherwise, how could he say that there will be no retribution? Since ancient times, courtiers swear to their masters. No one would say such things to courtiers. Hmph." Cao Zhi With a sneer, "eldest brother usually relies on Mr. Ruan to favor him a little bit, but recently he showed his face in front of his father? You said, our eldest son has a good face on the face, but he has a careful plan in his heart. Now Mr. Ruan After angering father, would he still dare to mess with Mr.?"

When Ruan Qing said she would quit, she really quit. She put aside her military affairs and huddled in the small courtyard where she lived, tending flowers and plants or copying and painting every day.

Cao Zhang came to visit this day.

Ruan Qing opened the door, saw Cao Zhang, and didn't say hello, turned around, went back to the porch outside, sat down in front of the easel set up, picked up two wool brushes, and made a cross with five thin white fingers. The pen is flexible to change back and forth for coloring.

Cao Zhang put his hands behind his back, came to Ruan Qing's side and bent down to watch carefully.

You can see the rolling hills and mountains, the clouds and mists are obscured, and a big river is rolling like a thousand horses galloping eastward.

Cao Zhang laughed and said, "Sir, you have fooled us all. Uncle Yuan and all the bureaucrats thought that you really wanted to retire, and you have been anxious these days. Looking at it today, you are in vain. Although you are sitting in this small courtyard, Mr. However, my heart has long been in the unharvested land of Kyushu. Otherwise, why did I stay in Yizhou and paint the Yangtze River?"

Ruan Qing dipped his hand in the paint, and said lightly, "If you have something to say, go away if you have nothing to say."

"Mr. is so cruel." Cao Zhang said, "Chang brought good news this time." As he spoke, he stretched out the things hidden behind his back to Ruan Qing, "Sir, please take a look."

In Cao Zhang's hand was a wooden box containing letters.Ruan Qing pushed away with the back of her right hand, continued to write, and gave a generous glance, "Say it straight."

Cao Zhang put the things on the small case in embarrassment, sat on the steps under the corridor and said, "Father, Mr. Feng, is the prefect of Hanzhong, and the army and horses he brought stayed with him to listen to him. He also transferred Uncle Yuan back to Chang'an."

After hearing nothing for a long time, Cao Zhang turned his head and saw that Ruan Qing was still sitting there peacefully drawing, so he sat sideways and asked, "Father has agreed to Mr.'s request, is Mr. unhappy?"

Ruan Qing sneered, looked at the painting, and said, "How long can a compromise obtained through coercion last? If your father really wants to do this, he will make it clear in the first letter."

After finishing speaking, he stirred the pen in the brush washer, hung it upside down on the pen holder, unsealed the seal on the wooden box, read it with two or three eyes, and at the end, he sneered again, put the letter in the wooden box, and said , "Second Young Master, come and see, if you were me, would you be happy to get this letter?"

Cao Zhang read it suspiciously, still puzzled, "Father obeyed my wish and let me guard Hanzhong, I am naturally happy."

"You haven't been scolded less by your father, have you?" Ruan Qing sat on the bed, looked up at Cao Zhang, the whites of his eyes showed a little meanness.

Cao Zhang laughed foolishly.

"You only saw that Duke Wei made me the prefect, but you didn't see the last sentence?"

"No return after victory?" Cao Zhang said, "Is this the one you mean?"

Seeing that Cao Zhang still didn't see it through, Ruan Qing got up, grabbed the letter, sealed it in a wooden box, and said, "Wei Gong is not happy, use this sentence to point me at me."

"You should go, I want to rest." Ruan Qing covered the screen with a white cloth.

Cao Zhang hurried to help.

Ruan Qing entered the house with the letter in her arms and left Cao Zhang alone. Cao Zhang bowed to Ruan Qing's back and left.

After Ruan Qing retired, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang had a quarrel, and they broke up.

Liu Bei led his army to attack Chengdu, and Pang Tong, his military adviser, died in battle. Liu Bei sent Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu, to Jingzhou to invite Zhuge Liang.

Qixi Festival is approaching, and the temperature is still hot.With her upper body on her back, Ruan Qing wielded her saber under the shade of trees in the courtyard.

Thin muscles covered the boy's tough figure, as if it contained infinite strength.The snow-white skin is dazzling under the shade of the tree, and it is a pity that the scars all over the body are all over the bare skin. It is a pity for this piece of natural suet jade.

"Sir. Sir." Cao Zhang shouted a series of voices, almost running over.

Ruan Qing stopped, and Cao Zhang also rushed in front of him.

Ruan Qing pulled the dry handkerchief hanging on the side and slowly wiped the sweat from her cheeks and neck. She glanced at Cao Zhang, who was flushed and panting, "What are you panicking about?"

"Sir." Cao Zhang took a deep breath and said, "I just got the news that when Liu Bei attacked Luocheng, the military adviser Pang Tong who was with him died in battle."

Ruan Qing stopped wiping her sweating palm, "Dead?"

"Yes, he is dead." Cao Zhang's eyes fell on Ruan Qing's face, and he said, "It is said that he died on the spot. Sir, Liu Bei has no military adviser now, so he will definitely send someone to Jingzhou to invite Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei's army has suffered from wars for a long time. We must be tired of dealing with it, we can take advantage of this opportunity to send troops, and even seize a few cities before we are caught."

"You think too well." Ruan Qing twisted her handkerchief and said, "What's a dead military adviser? Is Liu Bei a person who has no regard for the overall situation? You have been a good man for so many years for nothing? We are too urgent to protect the other party. No more groups. But Pang Tong is dead, this is indeed a good opportunity."

Ruan Qing said, "I personally wrote a letter and sent it to Liu Zhang with eloquent men, saying that we are willing to fight against Liu Bei with the other army, and that Liu Bei must hate the death of the army teacher and wait for attack. After going to Chengdu, we will not treat him kindly. And we have never had any enmity with him, and we helped him get rid of Zhang Lu who killed his mother. Liu Bei has already arrived in Luocheng, one is an ally with evil intentions, and the other is burned in front of the door Big fire. Whether he wants to live longer or die sooner, it’s up to him to choose.”

"Mr. has a plan." Cao Zhang said.

Ruan Qing moved her hands again, wiping her collarbone and chest with a dry towel.

Cao Zhang saw that Ruan Qing's fair skin was like suet exuding warmth and luster, and her slender waist seemed to be thinner than that of a girl, as if it could be folded with a firm grip, and the two points on her chest stood up slightly in the air , glowing pink, like gentle and gorgeous cherry blossoms.

He stared blankly like a man in a daze, feeling a little parched, and his Adam's apple slid up and down.

Suddenly a drop of water rolled down all the way, and was wiped away by Ruan Qing when it was about to fall on the milk bead.At this time, Ruan Qing also looked at him, her eyes were cold and clear, like a lonely cold pool.

Cao Zhang was shocked by the cold gaze, and then he suddenly came back to his senses, realizing what he was looking at just now.Suddenly, his face seemed to be on fire.Hastily said goodbye and left.

God, has he been in the army for too long, how could he look at Mr. Ruan in a daze?

Ruan Qing looked at the panic-stricken back, put her fingertips on her soft lips, and burst out laughing.

It turns out that his ugly body can still make people dumbfounded.Why, the person he wanted to show the most, refused to take a look?

He sighed softly, and the slightly red fingers of his right hand, which were sore from holding the knife, touched lightly on the scar left by him on the shoulder of his left arm.The brown pupils are like those of a little fox, looking at Cao Zhang contemptuously and with a bit of a monster, thinking about something.

The messenger was stopped by Liu Bei halfway.Liu Bei didn't want to make extra troubles, so he just beheaded people.

Seeing that the messenger never came back, Ruan Qing guessed that it might not be possible, so she didn't bring it up again.

Stayed in Hanzhong for the New Year.

In the 20th year of Jian'an, in late spring and March, news came that Liu Bei had captured Chengdu.

It is a good time to mobilize troops.Ruan Qing played Wei Gong, regardless of the reply, directly raised troops and came to Jiameng pass.

Seeing the enemy's attack, the general guarding Jiameng Pass hurriedly reported to Chengdu for help.

Under Cao Cao's command in the north, Zhuge Liang was most worried about Ruan Qing.He was taught by Sima Hui, and met Ruan Qing in Jiangdong. He knew that Ruan Qing was full of calculations, had the ability to distinguish gods from ghosts, and made good use of the fortune of heaven and earth, so he was not easy to deal with.

It's like a group of ordinary players fighting in chaos. It's okay to have a few powerful weapons at most, and it's still acceptable. Suddenly, a krypton gold player appeared. This is how people play.

So he asked himself to lead the army to kill Ruan Qing in Yizhou anyway, so as to get rid of the great trouble for the restoration of the Central Plains in the future.

Unexpectedly, the guard at Jiameng Gate was originally an old minister of Liu Zhang, who easily sacrificed the city after being besieged.

Ruan Qing went all the way south, and the two armies met each other in Jiange.

The difficulty of the road to Shu is that it is difficult to go to the blue sky. The Jiange is towering and Cui Wei, one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it.

Ruan Qing was sure to win this battle, and even the Gu corpses were summoned.

The two armies often communicate with each other to make plans, and each has its own victories and defeats, so there is no need to elaborate.

This day's victory, many prisoners were captured.

Ruan Qing summoned a few people, and during the response, he accidentally learned of the place where the Shu army stored grain.

"Zhuge Liang put grain and grass in Xieyang Valley, [-] miles east of Deyang Pavilion, and made people guard them strictly."

Ruan Qing sat in the big tent, and said to the young general beside him, "Take them down, so that we can entertain them."

After the people retreated, Ruan Qing got up slowly as if in a trance, crossed to the map and looked at it for a while, then said to Xia Houyuan and Cao Zhang who were in the tent, "I want to personally raise an army and go to Xieyang Valley to burn food, you The two of you can take good care of the camp, fight every day, and be proud of today's victory, so as to stabilize Zhuge Liang."

"No." Xia Houyuan took two steps forward, frowning slightly, with an anxious expression on his face, persuading him, "Zhuge Liang is used to using troops well, why doesn't he know that food and grass are the most important? The young general has already said that someone is strictly guarding him. What's more, how do you know it's not Zhuge Liang?" A specially placed bait?"

"I know." Ruan Qing said slowly, looking at the territory map with her hands behind her back.

"Then why do you still..." Xia Houyuan was puzzled.

Ruan Qing said, "The roads in Yizhou are rough, and the food and grass are not running well. Everyone knows that neither side can survive for too long. If the stalemate continues like this, it will be nothing more than to see who will end up with more food. The place where food and grass are hoarded is the most important If you can succeed, the pressure here in Jiange will be much lighter.

I will divide another team to go to Deyang to attack and spread rumors so that Zhuge Liang will know.Xieyang Valley will definitely dispatch troops to rescue, and I can enter the valley to burn food. "

"Mr. sits and leads the Chinese army, how can you move out so easily." Cao Zhang clasped his fists and said sonorously, "Zhang wishes to lead an army and go to the valley of the setting sun."

"You." Ruan Qing glanced at Cao Zhang lightly, looked at the map again, and said calmly, "You can't."

"!" Cao Zhang couldn't help it, he took two steps forward, his cheeks flushed again, "Sir, what do you mean by this? Since Zhang went out with Mr. Zhang last year, he believes that he has never..."

Ruan Qing raised his hand and interrupted Cao Zhang's words, "I admit that there is an element of gambling in this. If you win, you will pass the most difficult pass on the Chengdu road. If Zhuge Liang designed it, with Zhuge Liang's intelligence, this may be a return A big pit that doesn’t come.”

"Then why do you want to go there in person?"

"Someone has to go there." Ruan Qing gently stroked the area of ​​Chengdu with her fingertips, and said, "It was I who insisted on staying in Yizhou and attacking Chengdu. You are the son of Duke Wei. If something happens, I won't talk to Wei The bus agent."

"I will lead the army." Xia Houyuan said, "You and I both know that Duke Wei intended to let you..."

Xia Houyuan paused, worried that Cao Zhang was here, he swallowed the words, and continued, "If something happens to you, it will be even harder for Duke Wei to explain it."

"What can I know?" Ruan Qing laughed, pretending to be confused, "The general is a relative of Duke Wei's clan, and a veteran minister. He has fought all his life, and his family is full of children and grandchildren. You should be more careful. I will lead the army out of the camp tomorrow."

Ruan Qing paused, and waved her hands when the two were about to say something again, "Back off."

Seeing that Ruan Qing was so persistent, the two of them couldn't say anything more, and they bowed to leave.

Xia Houyuan went out of the big tent first, Cao Zhang lifted the curtain, his heart moved, he turned around and saw Ruan Qing's thin body standing in front of the shelf, quietly looking at the context of Kyushu, a bit of loneliness was hidden in the indifference of his brows .

At this moment, Cao Zhang felt that Ruan Qing in front of him was full of depression.There is fatigue and vicissitudes that cannot be concealed under the straight spine.

The high-spirited young man who met him in Xiliang seemed to have disappeared.

Only then did he realize that even though Ruan Qing had won many battles all the way here, he had never been happy.Even the occasional smiles on weekdays did not affect his eyes at all.

Doubts arose in his heart.Is this journey really what Ruan Qing wants?

After lighting the lights at night, Cao Zhang went to find Ruan Qing again.

At this time, Ruan Qing was only wearing an undershirt and a coat, her black hair was loose, and she was lazily tied to her chest with a hair band. This was completely different from the formal attire he saw during the day.

"Sit down." Ruan Qing pointed to the cushion next to her.

After Cao Zhang sat down, he casually fiddled with the bamboo slips in his hand, and said, "I know what you want to say. I'll answer in the daytime, you can't."

"Just because I am my father's son, is my husband not allowing me to go?" Cao Zhang said, "but now I am also my husband's assistant."

"Don't make trouble with me." Ruan Qing seemed to be tired, she relaxed her body, all her strength fell on the bench behind her, she sat sideways on the low couch, the thin clothes falling on her body outlined the undulating lines of his body.

"I don't like coaxing children." Ruan Qing half-closed her eyes, as if wanting to fall asleep.

Cao Zhang pursed his lips tightly, seeing the dancing warm candlelight falling on Ruan Qing's body, casting a layer of soft light on this always aloof person.

He suddenly remembered that his father seemed to like leaning on the proof table very much.

He thought of the things about Ruan Qing that he had heard more than once since he could remember.

Ruan Qing was raised by his father himself, and he was raised by his side since he was a child, going in and out with him.

And after following Ruan Qing for so long, he also found that Ruan Qing was indeed the same as his father in terms of certain habits and demeanor.Even stronger than their sons.

Some people speculated that he was his father's illegitimate son in gossip, and some people even said that Ruan Qing was his father's molester.

He had seen the manpower and material resources Cao Cao had spent searching for Ruan Qing during the years of Ruan Qing's disappearance, as well as the traces related to Ruan Qing that still remained in the mansion.He also saw his father's tolerance and love for Ruan Qing during the expedition against Ma Chao.Even wearing a box full of luxurious clothes, the degree of pampering is not as good as Cao Chong who died young.

An idea popped up in his mind.

Looking at Ruan Qing's porcelain-like skin and delicate facial features soaked in the light, he blurted out before his brain could react, "Do you love Mr. Wei?"

Ruan Qing's eyelashes moved slightly, and he opened a pair of clear eyes, looking at Cao Zhang quietly, "Who told you?"

Cao Zhang hadn't figured out how to explain his reckless words, then Ruan Qing did something even more shocking.

I saw Ruan Qing got up, stepped on the ground with bare feet, pulled off the clothes on her shoulders, walked in front of him, sat on his lap, wrapped her hands around his neck,

The sound of each other's breathing intertwined, Cao Zhang looked at Ruan Qing stiffly, not daring to move, his heart beating so fast that it almost burst into his chest.

Ruan Qing smiled at him with a pair of watery spring eyes.The cheeks kept approaching him, and finally there was a warm and soft touch on the lips.

Cao Zhang's mind exploded, he didn't expect that Ruan Qing, who is normally indifferent, would, actually...

There is no depth between the lips and teeth, they are simply pasted together, but for Cao Zhang, he feels that the sky is about to fall, or he is going crazy.

When the two separated, Ruan Qing's face was a little pale, with cold sweat all over his forehead.He raised the corners of his mouth stiffly, looked at Cao Zhang who was staring blankly, and asked sarcastically, "If I loved your father, would I have sex with you?"

This sentence was like a basin of cold water, poured on Cao Zhang, his blood was almost frozen.

It was only then that he noticed that there was no emotion in Ruan Qing's eyes, only a coldness that almost pierced the bones, and a faint sarcasm.

Cao Zhang's lips trembled slightly, and he said with a dry throat that could hardly make any sound, "No."

Ruan Qing got up with a smile, he seemed to be tired, and sat back on the low couch, leaning against the chair, with a weak tone, "Young master, go back."

However, Cao Zhang has not recovered from the shock of being dropped from heaven to the region in a second, and naturally he did not notice Ruan Qing's strangeness.He got up almost like a puppet, and left without knowing how to get back.

Cao Zhang's figure disappeared into the tent.

The smile on Ruan Qing's face suddenly fell, her body was trembling slightly, her brows were furrowed more tightly, she bent over and retched.

But he didn't eat for a day, he just threw a few streams of stomach acid back into his esophagus, and didn't spit out anything.

Even breathing began to become unsteady, and beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead.He nestled sleepily in the low couch, shrunk himself into a small ball, and covered his ears tightly with his hands.

But the voice he heard that night is still there, echoing in his mind like taking root, becoming more and more clear, he seems to be unable to hear anything, only the voice of that night.

His vision was a little dim, and he felt his surroundings become distorted.

"Don't do it." Ruan Qing stared at the couch with empty eyes, almost as if calling for help, murmured weakly and desperately, "Don't do it, I already know..."
