Master book fish farming these years [Three Kingdoms]

Ruan Qing sent people to report victory to Cao Cao who was far away in Yecheng, and at the same time ordered people to pack up the army horses and prepare to go east to Jingzhou.

When they arrived in Yunyang, Cao Cao sent a letter, saying that the army was exhausted from years of fighting and needed to improve their self-cultivation, so he called Ruan Qing's troops back to the court.

Ruan Qing knew that capturing Jiangdong was not a one-time event, so she wanted to return to the army.But another thing troubled him.

Cao Cao asked him to escort Zhuge Liang back.

He was worried that Zhuge Liang would reveal his affairs in Jiangdong, and his original intention was to imprison Zhuge Liang in Yizhou, so he did not pass the news of Zhuge Liang's arrest back.

But it is not a perfect solution after all, even if he doesn't say it, Xia Houyuan and Cao Zhang may not be able to say it.Therefore, Cao Cao got the news from nowhere and asked him to take Zhuge Liang on the road when he returned to the army this time.

The army traveled all the way, and finally approached Yecheng, and set up camp in the evening, and Ruan Qing went to see Zhuge Liang at night.

Although he put Zhuge Liang under house arrest, he told the guards to serve him carefully and not to be negligent.

When he entered the tent, Zhuge Liang was looking at the book of war that he wanted to relieve his boredom. He changed into light obscene clothes and a thick heavy cloak, and the brazier in the tent made a slight crackling sound.

Zhuge Liang raised his head from the handwriting and saw that Ruan Qing didn't get up, he smiled faintly, "How come Eunuch Ruan has time to come to the spot?"

This Zhuge Liang, even though he was trapped in the enemy's camp, still looked calm and calm, and never lost his position, just like a fairy who fell into the troubled times by mistake, one day, he will go back quietly.

Ruan Qing sat down with a wry smile and said, "I'm here this time to ask for something."

Zhuge Liang put down the bamboo slips in his hand, put his hands on the desk, looked at Ruan Qing, and said, "Liang already knows, the prefect can rest assured."

Ruan Qing looked up in astonishment.

Zhuge Liang said, "Liang knows what Mister Jiangdong is concerned about. Liang won't say much."

He knew in his heart that now that Ruan Qing was in the limelight, and he was only a prisoner, if he said it, he might be regarded as sowing discord, so it was better not to say it.

Ruan Qing nodded, "Thank you sir."

"Prefect, you don't have to be polite." Zhuge Liang smiled slowly, "This time I come to Ye, Liang still needs to rely on Mr."

"Don't worry, sir." Ruan Qing said, "It's normal for you and me to be masters before. In fact, you admire your talents and virtues very much. You only hate that you can't always listen to the church because of the current situation. Now that you are in the city, you will fight hard." Do everything you can to keep Mr. safe."

Zhuge Liang smiled and looked at Ruan Qing quietly.

Ruan Qing was about to stand up and leave, when Zhuge Liang suddenly said slowly, "Sun Ce, Marquis of Wu, was a hero for a while, and died young, it's really sad."

Ruan Qing's body froze, and she also sighed with a smile, "Yes, every time Qing thinks about it, she sighs."

Zhuge Liang's feather fan shook again, "When Liang arrived in Soochow, he was still strong and strong, but suddenly fell ill and passed away. Thinking about it, it is not suspicious. Ruan Taishou said, is there any ulterior discord in this? "

Could it be that Zhuge Liang knew something?

Ruan Qing's eyes became sharp for a moment, but when he saw the old man smiling, he softened his eyes and said, "How can a person escape life, old age, sickness and death by eating whole grains? Besides, the epidemic is prevalent in this season, so why be suspicious? The journey has been very hard, Mr. Zhuge should take a rest."

The letter had already stated the date when the army would arrive in the city.

So Cao Cao sent people out of the city to meet him.

Ruan Qing led the army behind him and walked slowly on the main road. He saw the majestic and solemn city of Ye County in the distance. A group of people outside the city were neatly dressed, standing on both sides.

As he got closer, he saw Cao Pi standing in the front, wearing a heavy-colored brocade robe with cumbersome patterns and a jade crown on his head.

Ruan Qing raised his hand, and the army behind him stopped.

He jumped off his horse and saluted Cao Pi who came up to him, "Young Master."

Cao Pi's peach blossom eyes were full of joy, and the black pupils became brighter and brighter under the sunlight.He stared at Ruan Qing closely, refusing to look away.

It wasn't until Ruan Qing saluted him that he came back to his senses, tried his best to cover up his gaffe, and smiled back at Ruan Qing, "Sir, you've come. My father has been talking about it for a long time, so I asked Pi to lead the ministers of the court to meet him outside the city." gentlemen."

"Thank you Duke Wei for your love." Ruan Qing cupped his hands inside the city gate.

"Sir, please get in the car." Cao Pi introduced Ruan Qing, "Father is already waiting."

Ruan Qing looked at the carriageway covered with luxurious rugs, "My lord, this is against the rules."

"This is my father's own order, saying that I will use my own car to pick up Mr. into the city."

Ruan Qing shook her head, "Grand Wei gave Qing to go to the city with his own chariot and horse. It is because of his great love for you, and you have already understood it. But the hierarchy is strict and etiquette cannot be broken. It is best for you to go to the city with a horse."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and stepped on his own mount with his pedals.Seeing this, Cao Pi didn't say anything more, he could only get on his horse and lead Ruan Qing into the city.

The streets have been cleared, and the common people are watching and cheering on both sides, leaving a smooth avenue leading far to the royal palace in Yecheng.

Ruan Qing's body swayed slightly under the horse's advance, and he looked up at the blue sky in the distance.

back again...

Ruan Qing was in a trance and felt that the cramped atmosphere was oppressing from all directions, making it difficult to breathe.

He hoped that this road would never end, so that he would never meet Cao Cao.

The alleyways of the Royal Palace in Yecheng were empty, and the high walls on both sides seemed to cover up all the sunlight.The wind howled through the long, deep street, and everything else was mute.

Cao Pi said that Cao Cao wanted to see him alone.

So he climbed up the long steps, walked into the grand and cold hall, bent down and knelt down, and congratulated the people on the stage for their birthdays.

Cao Cao walked down the steps, stretched out his hand to support him, and the cold lines on the cheeks sculpted by the years softened.

"You have worked so hard on this trip." Cao Cao's eyes were filled with pity and pride.

Ruan Qing couldn't see such an expression, he kept bowing his head, and bent down after hearing Cao Cao's words, "Wei Gong's words are serious, and it all depends on Wei Gong's Hongde."

"Ha, look at Gu, as soon as I saw you, I was so happy that I forgot all the important things." Cao Cao waved his hand.

The attendant who was holding the tray at the side bowed forward.

Cao Cao took the yellow silk embroidered with exquisite patterns rolled up and brought it to Ruan Qing, saying, "Open it and have a look."

Ruan Qing took it with both hands respectfully, opened it and looked at it.

You don’t need to read the nonsense in the previous paragraph carefully, but at the end it says, “Yingchuan Ruanqing, now stabilizes Yizhou, saves the people from the suffering of war and benefits the country, and has made great contributions. Hou, hereditary will not replace you."

I don't know why there is an empty word in the place where it is worshiped as ''.

Marquis of Yingyang... Ruan Qing recited it in her heart.

Yingyang is his hometown.

The Marquis is under the Duke, and the Marquis of Yingyang belongs to the rank of County Marquis, and is the highest among the Marquis.

In the entire Han Dynasty, Zhang Xiu was the only person who held the position of county marquis, and now Ruan Qing was added.

Even if Ruan Qing resigns in the future, he will still be supported by taxes.

Hereditary, nothing to replace... Ruan Qing smiled bitterly in her heart.

Does he have descendants to inherit the position?

"Do you like it?" Cao Cao looked at Ruan Qing's cheeks, his eyes softened, and his dignified voice was somewhat gentle, as if he was coaxing his beloved lover, "In the future, you will be able to get the annual tribute that belongs to your hometown."

"Trouble Duke Wei, panic Qing." Ruan Qing was about to kneel down again, but was grabbed by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said, "You like it best."

Ruan Qing lowered her eyes, nodded and said, "Wei Gong gave it to you, Qing is very happy."

"Won't Moore ask why this place is empty?"

Ruan Qing was not curious, but he had to sell Cao Cao's face, so he said, "Qing is stupid, I don't know why this place is left blank, please ask Wei Gong to explain."

"Where do you want to be an official?" Cao Cao pointed to the pen and inkstone on the servant's tray. Let’s pick some last little officials. Otherwise, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, wouldn’t it be strange to be lonely and stupid?”

Ruan Qing put the edict on the tray, picked up the pen, was stunned for a moment, and then wrote two words.

Taiwei.

Cao Cao's originally gentle face darkened instantly, gloomy and frightening.

Cao Cao was named the Duke of Wei. He built the Ancestral Temple of Sheji in Wei County, and could set up official positions such as Shangshu, Shizhong, and Liuqing, but the position of Taiwei was an official position in the central court.

If Ruan Qing wanted to do it, she had to go back to Xuchang.You don't have to go back, but it's not under Cao Cao's jurisdiction.

Ruan Qing held up the edict with both hands, and bowed to Cao Cao, "Thank you, Duke Wei, and you will leave."

The hand was grabbed by Cao Cao.

I saw Cao Cao frowning, with faint anger in his eyes, his face was covered with dark clouds, and he was about to strike lightning in the next second and explode.

In the past, Ruan Qing would have knelt down to beg for mercy in fright, but now he is not afraid anymore.

To annoy Cao Cao is nothing more than death. After all, there are no three or nine clans that can be punished.

Or seize the official position and degrade the title, demote him to a commoner, no longer want him, let him go.It doesn't matter anymore.Cao Cao has long since ceased to want him as he had hoped.

The edict in his hand was snatched by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao clenched the things in his hands, looked at Ruan Qing viciously, almost gnashed his teeth, and said, "Ruan Qing, do you have to come here to provoke Gu at such a good time?"

"You don't dare." Ruan Qing lowered her eyes, her expression was indifferent, and she didn't take Cao Cao's attitude that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of the building at all.

Cao Cao held Ruan Qing's hand tighter and tighter, and the bones in Ruan Qing's palm began to shrink slightly, and the beating of the pulse was very clear in Cao Cao's palm.

Cao Cao was even more annoyed by Ruan Qing's indifferent appearance. He looked straight at Ruan Qing and said, "Bai, Ruan Qing is the order of the Minister, the noble to Yingyang Hou."

Look, it's like this again, it was agreed that he would choose by himself, but in the end, he still couldn't help it.

Ruan Qing has long been used to it and doesn't care.He accepted quietly, "No."

In fact, from the perspective of the monarch and his ministers, Cao Cao treated him kindly, and there was nothing mean to him.

Obviously Ruan Qing had accepted it, but Cao Cao seemed to be getting more angry, and he didn't know why he was angry.

"Look at Gu." Cao Cao said.

Ruan Qing raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her quietly.Those eyes are so calm, like a deep ancient well, unable to make any waves.

These eyes were clearly looking at him, but Cao Cao felt that the other party's eyes seemed to no longer stop at him.

This discovery made Cao Cao even more depressed.But Ruan Qing couldn't find any mistakes in her body.

He could only hold Ruan Qing's hand, and said as he walked, "The banquet has already been set up in the front hall, and all the ministers and workers have been waiting for a long time."

Ruan Qing insisted on pulling her wrist out of Cao Cao's hand.When Cao Cao turned his head to look at him, he nodded respectfully and said, "Duke Wei is honorable, it is not good to be seen by other ministers."

Cao Cao sneered, "Who dares to arrange it?" As he said that, he went to pull Ruan Qing again.

Ruan Qing took a step back to avoid it, and Cao Cao's expression became even worse.

Ruan Qing folded her hands on her lower abdomen, bowed with a more respectful expression, "Wei Gong can't."

Cao Cao said, "Isn't it okay to just want to be close to your courtiers?"

Ruan Qing said, "Kinship makes love, and etiquette cannot be abandoned."

Can't fault it, but it makes people uncomfortable.

It was rare for Cao Cao to be bullied like this. He looked at Ruan Qing and couldn't help but sneer, "Okay, okay, Ruan Qing, you're doing well."

He shook his sleeves vigorously and strode away.

Ruan Qing followed carefully behind.

In Ruan Qing's eyes, the celebration banquet was extremely boring.

After dispersing, he walked back to the mansion alone under the scattered rays of the setting sun on the horizon.

Unlocking the restraint on the wall, unlocking and pushing the door, weeds are already overgrown in the yard, and because it is winter now, there are withered plants in the cracks between the bricks, shivering in the cold wind under the dark orange sky of the evening.

Fallen leaves covered the ground.The plants in the garden are growing crazy, and the leaves are gone to see their intertwined branches.

The mansion was in a state of decay.

Ruan Qing led the horses to the stables in the backyard, and there were still old fodder piled in the corner.Pick it up and put it in the trough, and then go back to your bed.

When the door was opened, dust fell and filled the air.

Ruan Qing waved her hand away and walked in.

The house is still the same as before, but it has long been covered with dust.

He also saw cobwebs floating over the door frame.

I didn't bother to clean it, I just walked to the bed, stretched out my hand to wipe off the dirt on it, and then lay down on it, shrinking myself into a ball.

It's hard to believe that Ruan Shangshu, the upstart in Ye City, who is famous around Duke Wei, would be so downcast when he returned home.

The copper bell hanging on the bed net rang crisply.Someone is knocking on the knocker.

Ruan Qing had no choice but to get up again, and opened the door, only to see Cao Zhang standing outside the door, still smelling of alcohol.

Frowning slightly, he said, "Why are you here at this time?"

Cao Zhang's eyes were a bit dazed due to drinking, which eased his sharp eyes a lot.

He said, "I, I remember that there is no one in Mr.'s house. I haven't been here for a few years, and I may not be able to stay for a while. How about..."

He wanted Ruan Qing to go to his mansion, but thinking of Ruan Qing's temper and his father's eyes and ears, he gave up the idea and said, "It's better to go to the post house to rest today. Tonight, would Mr. Tomorrow stay here?"

"No need." Ruan Qing said.

The blowing wind lifted his loose hair, and there were still a few strands stuck between his lips. He drew it out with his fingers and said, "It's dark and late in winter, so you won't keep the second young master. Come back quickly, young master. Make Duke Wei and Mrs. Bian worry."

As he said that, he was about to close the door.

"Don't." Cao Zhang leaned against the door, and under Ruan Qing's slightly weird gaze, he suddenly had an idea, leaned on the door, rubbed his temples and said, "Zhang, Zhang drank too much today. It's over, sir, please give me a ride with the students."

Ruan Qing obviously didn't believe it, "Second Young Master, I want to go somewhere else."

"No, no. The student has a headache." Cao Zhang said shamelessly, covering his forehead, "I really can't get on the horse. I have been with my husband for many years, and my husband knows that I never lie. This time it really hurts. Mr. Zhang is fighting hard. For the sake of many years, I also love the students."

"Okay." Ruan Qing was too lazy to talk nonsense, thinking of sending him away as soon as possible, and just as she agreed, a voice from the side said, "Don't bother me, sir, let Pi's servant take my second brother home."

I saw Cao Pi smiling and walking up the steps of the mansion, and came to the two of them, looking at Cao Zhang with a little reproach and concern in his eyes, "How can you drink like this? If mother knows, you should worry again. Second brother, go back to the mansion quickly, It’s not good to blow cold wind.”

Seeing that he was about to trick Ruan Qing out, not wanting to kill someone halfway, Cao Zhang almost gritted his silver teeth, and said bluntly, "No, I'm in good health, and I'm not afraid of the cold wind. , the wind does not blow, the rain does not."

"Let the boy take you back." Ruan Qing rolled up her sleeves.

"Sir!" Cao Zhang called out.

"Whoever sends it is not a gift. Unless you are lying to me."

Well, lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot.What he said, Cao Zhang could only bear it by himself, and he gave Cao Pi a hard look to vent his anger.

Unexpectedly, Cao Pi ignored his child's actions at all, and always smiled at him kindly.

Cao Zhang was so angry that he could only curse hypocrisy in his heart, and then looked at Ruan Qing pitifully, "Can Zhang come tomorrow?"

Cao Pi's smile froze, and a sharp flash flashed in his eyes, but disappeared without a trace after a while.

"I have something to do, Qing has no time to play with children."

"I have something to do, of course I have something to do." Cao Zhang's eyes flashed brightly, "Mr. Zhang asked me to look at the art of war, but there is still something I don't understand. I will come to bother you tomorrow."

As if afraid that Ruan Qing would go back on his word, Cao Zhang left in a hurry, turned around when he descended the stairs, and said, "Chang will come back tomorrow. It's agreed."

After Cao Zhang's figure disappeared at the door, Ruan Qing turned and went back.Cao Pi hurriedly followed.

Ruan Qing walked ahead.

Cao Pi looked at Ruan Qing's back, and only now did he have a look of unwillingness in his eyes, which revealed sinister and vicious.

He clearly said that he was just using Cao Zhang, why are Ruan Qing and Cao Zhang so close?Cao Zhang actually called himself a student?

Ruan Qing was left to him by his elder brother, and He Gai is only his husband.No one can take it away, Mr. can only belong to himself.

"Why are you here so late?" Ruan Qing's faint voice came.

Cao Pi came back to his senses, and the emotion in his eyes disappeared in an instant. He smiled and walked quickly to Ruan Qing, and said, "Pi remembers that there is no one to clean the house, and I am afraid that I am not used to it. I have arranged a place to stay, sir. Move over. Tonight, Pi envoys the servants to clean up the gentleman's residence overnight."

"No need." Ruan Qing said, "I don't like irrelevant people coming in."

"But my husband has worked hard all the way, so why don't we have a clean place to live. My father will feel distressed if he knows." Cao Pi said.

"Don't always involve Wei Gong." Ruan Qing's expression flashed a little impatient, "I work for your Cao family, so why don't you also take care of my private life?"

Cao Pi's breath was stagnant, and he looked at Ruan Qing's cold and almost unhuman profile, and his doubts intensified.

He asked softly, "Sir, do you still love your father?"

Ruan Qing stopped, and he suddenly looked at Cao Pi,

The child of the past has grown up and is now much taller than him.The figure is tall and straight, and the tight belt around the waist sets off the wide back and thin waist.

Taohua's eyes no longer had the usual good-natured smile, and now they were full of dim light, which became more and more dark and silent under the dim light of the setting sun, which made Ruan Qing vaguely think that Cao Cao was hiding his anger and looked at him look.

"Are you crazy?" Ruan Qing murmured, "What are you talking about?"

"Sir, there is no need to hide it." Cao Pi said, "I know it all. When I was a child, my husband was with my father every day, and whenever my eyes followed my father, I could see clearly."

"Sir..." Cao Pi's tone suddenly softened, "You already know about Yuan Qing..."

Ruan Qing lowered his eyes, his eyes were a little bit astringent from the dry and cold wind, he didn't know why, but suddenly felt a slight pain in his heart that hadn't been beating for a long time.

Not in love anymore.

He said, "I don't love it anymore."

Do you really not love it?

Following these words, Ruan Qing was at a loss.

Then what is the purpose of desperately crawling back from the battlefield?Is it just to repay the monarch's kindness like an ordinary courtier?

How could that ordinary courtier be like him, even when he was about to die, he always pretended to repay his gratitude, struggling back from the border of death again and again, not to live, but to repay the king's kindness.

He felt that his soul seemed to be separated from his body.He watched himself struggling in the world of mortals, but he didn't understand what he was insisting on.

Cao Pi suddenly panicked.

He had seen that Ruan Qing put all her eyes and all her hopes on his father.If Ruan Qing no longer loves his father, will he continue to stay?

He didn't want to lose Ruan Qing, this was left to him by his elder brother.The two of them were tied together.

"Will you leave again..." Cao Pi asked, "Just like before, quietly, keeping everyone secret."

"No." Ruan Qing raised the corners of her mouth, she hadn't smiled for a long time, so she looked a little stiff.

He patted Cao Pi on the shoulder and said, "I will do my best to help Duke Wei rule the world."

But also, that's all.Because he didn't know what else he could do.
