Sun Ce's battle was also full of twists and turns. First, there were spies in the battalion, and the army was in danger. But fortunately, Lu Xun's advice turned the tide of the battle. He returned the people captive, which can be regarded as a victory.
When the army returned, there were always many things that needed to be sorted out. Lu Su went to report to Zhang Zhao. Ruan Qing felt dizzy looking at the data submitted by various ministries.
Just when his head was muddled, he suddenly felt something hit the top of his head, and then fell on the table with a bang.Ruan Qing took a closer look and found that it was a white silk wrapped into a small ball.
He raised his eyes, and saw Sun Ce holding a small box, standing outside the window and looking at him with a smile, as if the spring of the whole day fell on him.
Ruan Qing lowered her eyes again, threw the thing in her hand to the corner of the wall, picked up a pen and continued to count.
Sun Ce glanced at him with a light click, strode over, sat down opposite Ruan Qing, brushed off all the messy bamboo slips with his hand, and put the small box in his hand on the desk when Ruan Qing suddenly raised his head and looked at him in displeasure. He smiled and said, "Ce found this from Chaisang, and brought it here for you."
Ruan Qing's originally sharp eyes softened, and she glanced at Sun Ce indifferently, "I don't want it." Then she was about to get up.
"Ah." Sun Ceteng knelt up, crossed the table with half his body, and grabbed Ruan Qing's wrist.Ruan Qing frowned imperceptibly, her face was still expressionless, but she continued to exert force with her wrists, trying to break free from the restraints.
"Qingqing." Sun Ce called out suddenly in a slow tone, and complained, "The anger that has been going on for so long should go away. Before... it was Ce who misunderstood you, so he will come to you to apologize as soon as he comes back."
Seeing that Ruan Qing still didn't respond, Sun Ce said, "This time, Mr. Zhang has already said that it is your enemy who is in danger. First, you will catch the culprit, maintain the political situation in the city, and then work tirelessly to invite the prefect of Wu County overnight Come to the rescue. This time Wu Jun was able to save the day, and you should be the first to contribute.
What do you want this time?I promise you all the strategies, don't be angry, okay?Ordinary couples still have temper tantrums, let alone you and me. "
As soon as Sun Ce's words came out, Ruan Qing's jawline immediately tightened, and he grasped and grasped his hand, but thinking that Sun Ce was still holding his hand, he could bear it.He lowered his eyes halfway, and said lightly, "Okay, Dongxiqing accepts it, and Marquis Wu lets go."
With a little joy on his brows, Sun Ce let go of his hand and hurriedly opened the box, saying, "Isn't Qing'er short of paint? Ce sent people to search for these from various places. The color is very good. Whatever you do."
Only then did Ruan Qing move her gaze, and her gaze fell on the open box, where various ores of various colors were randomly placed.
He glanced at Sun Ce, who was obviously relieved, and suddenly felt that all this was getting more ridiculous, so he couldn't help chuckling.He asked under Sun Ce's questioning gaze, "The wife of Marquis Wu's back house thinks no one would dare to lose his temper with Marquis Wu."
Otherwise, how could he not be able to see whether he forgave or not.
Sun Ce was taken aback for a moment, and quickly took Ruan Qing's hand and said, "They are different from Qing'er. Qing'er loses his temper and looks very pretty, and Ce also likes it very much."
"Okay." Ruan Qing forced a smile to respond to the other party, but secretly withdrew his hand, and he sat back to the original position, looking at various paints casually.
Sun Ce stared blankly at Ruan Qing in front of him, suddenly feeling confused.
Mingming Ruan Qing had already laughed, and the other party usually looked like this, why did he feel that the other party was different from before?
But it's not that he didn't quarrel before, didn't they all reconcile in the end, why this time Ruan Qing's reaction was the same as before, but he always felt that there was something wrong, which made people feel blocked.
"Marquis Wu." Ruan Qing called out suddenly.
Sun Ce came back to his senses with a blink of an eye, with a bright smile on his face again, "Huh?"
Ruan Qing threw the ore back into the box, raised his eyelids, stared at the other party with a pair of cold eyes, and said, "How Marquis Wu plans to deal with Sun Fu."
So Qing'er really cared about him, otherwise how could she bother about Sun Fu's affairs.
At this point, Sun Ce was completely relieved, and said, "Sun Fu wants to collude with foreign thieves and launch a coup d'état. This crime cannot be punished. Ce wants to behead him..."
"Not good." Ruan Qing usually speaks with a characteristic elegant and gentle voice, his eyes are still calm, like the deepest pool, without any waves, as if he and Sun Fu have never met, what he said These words are from the most objective point of view.
"After all, Sun Fu is a descendant of the clan, and he is also related to Marquis Wu by blood. Now that Marquis Wu has offended the family, he must not offend the clan again. As for Sun Fu, you might as well spare his life."
Sun Ce just looked at Ruan Qing for a while, trying to read something from the other person's face, but the other person's expression showed no flaws, so he nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to Qing'er this time."
What Ruan Qing said before has all come true, and the plan he made did not fail. In addition, Sun Ce now intends to ease the relationship with Ruan Qing, so he agreed easily.
"En." Ruan Qing put the box on the ground, then picked up the scattered business affairs.
"Marquis Wu, it's time for you to leave."
"Qing'er..."
"Marquis Wu." Ruan Qing had no choice but to look at Sun Ce again, interrupting him, "The army is coming back, I'm still busy."
This time, it was the clan rebellion he trusted the most, and it was the family he hated the most who helped him put down the rebellion, which finally shook Sun Ce's philosophy that he had always insisted on.
The confrontation between the Sun family and the various ethnic groups in Jiangdong since taking power has finally eased after more than ten years. The four ethnic groups in Jiangdong and famous people in Jiangdong have also been gradually accepted by Sun Ce.
After more than ten years of separation and reunion, the hidden turbulence hidden under the calm political situation in Jiangdong has not subsided, but it is enough for the two factions to coexist peacefully.
Cao Cao pacified Wuhuan in the north, returned to his new capital Yecheng, and dug Xuanwu Pond to train the navy, and dispatched Zhang Liao, Yujin, and Yue to garrison south of Xudu.Abolish the Sangong, lead the prime minister himself, consolidate power, and prepare for the southern expedition in Japan.
In the 13th year of Jian'an, after nearly a year of appeasement and stability in the rear, Sun Ce finally went west to conquer Huangzu again, which was bound to bring an end to the old hatred that had lasted for many years.
This time Ruan Qing was in the ranks of the army, and when he arrived at the place where he set up camp, he did not communicate with anyone, and quietly crossed the Yangtze River by himself, heading for Xiangyang.
In this age of wars, Jingzhou still maintains the last bit of peace, like a piece of fat, sandwiched between the forces of the north and the south, coveted by tigers, maintaining the last peace before the storm.
The vast land is divided by rice paddies, and the fields are neatly cut, filled with green seedlings.
Under the impact of the water flow, the waterwheel whirled around, sending out streams of silver mountain springs.Farmhouses are grouped together to form villages.
There was a lot of voices, the smoke was curling up, and the barefoot peasants were working hard with their backs in the sky, in exchange for the food they depended on for survival.Children still don't know the pressure they need to bear when they grow up, and they are calling for friends and running on the wet long acres.
The little boy with yellow hair hanging down in front sits on the back of a strong buffalo, blowing a melodious tune.
Ruan Qing rode on the horse and took the reins. After looking around, she turned her gaze back to the boy in front, "How long is it?"
The boy ignored him and continued to play his flute.The old cow walked slowly, his tail wagging once and for all.
The surroundings were full of peace and tranquility, but Ruan Qing's heart was not at all peaceful. He thought of what happened just now, and his brows frowned even tighter.
"You are Ruan Qing, right?"
"How do you know my name?"
"My husband said that a nobleman is coming today, and he specially ordered me to wait here. He also said that the young man riding a fine horse and wearing brocade clothes is that nobleman."
"Your husband is strange, how does he know that I'm coming to see him today?"
"My husband knows astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, and yin and yang. There is nothing in this world that he doesn't know. When we meet now, the nobleman will come with me."
How did this Sima Hui know he was coming?Is there really someone who knows everything in this world?
Thinking about it, Ruan Qing felt more and more heavy in her heart.
After walking for a while, I came to a bamboo forest, which was lush and green, with overlapping bamboo shadows, among which the deer path was winding and the winding path led to seclusion.
After walking a few more steps, it suddenly became clear, and a manor came into view.
Ruan Qing tied the horse to the door, and the boy went to knock on the door.
Ruan Qing looked up at the dense courtyard, and gradually felt a strange feeling in her heart, every inch of skin on her body was screaming, wanting to escape from here.
Now he knows that these feelings that once made him tremble are traces of the irresistible way of heaven, although subtle, they are enough to make people fear.
His gaze darkened.And he was expected to be good.The last "Taiping Essentials" is really hidden here.
As early as when he was facing the sea, he had suspected that maybe the last book of ruling the world was in the hands of Sima Hui.
After all, the matter of Gu corpses is only recorded in "Taiping Yaoshu".And this matter was involved with Sima Hui.
In addition, later generations have said that Zhuge Liang has the talent of mastering the world.Compared with Guo Jia, who can be called a ghost, what Zhuge Liang really shines is his strategy of governing the country.If the book of governance was mastered by Sima Hui and taught to Zhuge Liang, it would make sense.
The door was opened, and a person stuck his head out. He saw the boy and then Ruan Qing, so he opened the door, "Please come in, sir. You have been waiting for a long time."
Ruan Qing followed the little boy, walked through the courtyard, and came to the quiet backyard, only to hear the long and quiet sound of the piano coming from under the gazebo.
He didn't know Guqin, but he thought that many people were arty, so he held back and stopped the boy who was going to report, and stood not far away to listen to the sound of the piano.
He likes intense and sonorous tunes, and this tune is too long and long, so he can't enjoy half of it.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano was heard, and the people sitting in the pavilion laughed loudly, "Your honor has been here for a long time, why don't you come out and see him?"
Then Ruan Qing came out from the corner, strode forward, and said, "Sir, the sound of the zither conveys the rhyme, and Qing was stunned for a moment."
As Ruan Qing sat down without any greetings, Sima Hui didn't care, just smiled, "Long time no see. Should I say I'm engaged? Or the master book?"
"You really know Qing's identity." Ruan Qing's gaze became sharp for a moment, and soon turned into a gentle smile, and said in relief, "Mr. Shui Jing has been taught by my teacher's "Taiping Essentials" In this way, you and I are considered to be of the same family, so it doesn’t matter if you just call him Qing.”
"Haha, Moore is really clever, and he has already guessed that "Taiping Essentials" is in the hands of the old man."
"Mr. Shui Jing." Ruan Qing squinted her eyes and smiled, without any warmth in her eyes, "You have held it for many years, and you must have learned a lot. Now it should be returned to its original owner."
"Naturally." Sima Hui sighed, and said with a little regret, "This was originally a secret technique taught to assist the Han Dynasty. Now the master has come to ask for it. Why don't you return it?"
"That's good."
Sima Hui called the servant and asked him to take out the volume of "Taiping Essentials" in the study and hand it to Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing held it in his hand and looked at it for a few times. After confirming that it was correct, he put it away, and then looked at Sima Hui. "This time, besides taking back the "Taiping Essentials", you have one more thing to ask sir."
"Moore said it's okay."
"Mr. has lived in seclusion in Jingzhou for a long time, and doesn't care about world affairs. Why are you so interested in Jiangdong now? Over the years, everything has been pointed at Mr. You really can't figure out why Mr. wants to disturb the political situation in Jiangdong."
After hearing this, Sima Hui sighed again, "I don't even know, since you have a relationship with the imperial family, why bother to enter Jiangdong."
Sima Hui really knew his identity.
Ruan Qing immediately became wary.
Why is Sima Hui so clear about his affairs?
Also, the meaning of Sima Hui's words just now.Are those things really related to the other party?Why?Why did Sima Hui bother Jiang Dong?
Narrowing her eyes, Ruan Qing pondered for a moment before reaching a conclusion, "Sir, do you want Jiang Dong to mess up himself and take the opportunity to seize power?"
Sima Hui smiled lightly, noncommittal.
Ruan Qing's eyes widened, she was very puzzled, "Why? Mister has lived in seclusion in Jingzhou for many years, why bother Jiangdong?"
"Mu Er." Sima Hui said, "Now the Han Dynasty is weak, why don't you want to revive the 400-year-old Guozuo of the Han Dynasty since you are the heir of the Liu surname?"
Ruan Qing took a breath of cool air, and instantly seemed to open up Ren Du's two veins.My brain brightened up.
How could he forget.
Zhuge Liang devoted himself to the Han Dynasty.Sima Hui is even more optimistic about Liu Bei.This Sima Hui, from the beginning to the end, supports the old rule of the Han Dynasty.
It was he who had entered a dead end before. He only felt that Sima Hui and the Sun family had no grudges, and he didn't understand why Sima Hui wanted to mess up Jiangdong for no reason.
It was because of his small structure that he never thought of this relationship.Sima Hui doesn't need to have any old grudges with the Sun family, just supporting the Han family is enough to explain any behavior of the other party.
"You want to encourage the Jiangdong family, seize power, go north to the Central Plains, submit to the orthodoxy, and revive the Han Dynasty." Ruan Qing stared at Sima Hui, and although he couldn't believe it, he said word by word.
Sima Hui still looked amiable, smiled cheerfully, and nodded.
"!"
Ruan Qing's pupils constricted violently, his eyes were full of horror.
How dare, how dare the other party! ?Who would have thought that Sima Hui would dare to play such a big game of chess. He was in a quiet corner of Jingzhou, but he stirred up waves in Jiangdong.
For some reason, the scene buried in his mind that should have been forgotten was now clearly remembered.
As early as when he and Sun Ce and Sun Quan came to Jingzhou Academy, when Sima Hui saw Sun Ce, his expression was shocked, and he hid it silently.
Why was Sima Hui shocked when he saw Sun Ce?
Perhaps in his cognition at the time, Sun Ce should have died long ago.How could it not be shocking that the person who was supposed to die suddenly appeared in front of him alive and kicking?
If Sun Ce died at that time, and the position of the Lord of Jiangdong was passed on to Sun Quan, the discord that Jiangdong had hidden for many years would explode in an instant.
And Sun Quan will not fight abroad because he cannot sit firmly in Jiangdong.At that time, Jiangdong will not further expand its power and threaten the Han Dynasty.
But Sun Ce did not die.Those hidden discords can only continue to simmer.So Sima Hui chose to fuel the flames, igniting these scourges one by one, disrupting Jiangdong's internal affairs, and taking the opportunity to seize Jiangdong.
For so many years, Sima Hui played a big game of chess in silence.Step by step, he gnawed at Jiangdong bit by bit.
When he found out that Sun Ce had gradually changed his view of the aristocratic family, he chose to kill Sun Yi without hesitation, which instantly intensified the conflict that the two parties had finally eased up.Then……
Huang Zu sent Deng Long to attack Jiangdong, presumably it was also Sima Hui's handwriting. Liu Biao treated celebrities with courtesy, and Sima Hui must be familiar with Liu Biao, and Huang Zu was Liu Biao's subordinate, so it is impossible not to know Sima Hui.
This must be the case, otherwise why Huang Zu did not send troops for so many years, but it was Sun Ce who came to harass him when he broke up with the aristocratic family, and then asked Huang Zu to send troops, so that Sun Ce led the army and gave Sun Fu an opportunity loopholes.
What exactly does Sima Hui want? Is it really just the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty?
Suddenly, endless fear rose in Ruan Qing's heart.
He remembered Qin Zhujun once said that it was Sima Hui who asked him to refine Gu corpses.Why practice Gu corpse?Is it also to seize power?If you use this thing as an army, no one can stop it.
Since Sima Hui dared to extend his hand to Jiangdong, what about the Central Plains?Was it slowly eroding the opponent's power without Cao Cao's knowledge?
Ruan Qing's heart beat faster, and there was uncontrollable panic in his eyes, he couldn't think anymore.
His throat slipped, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten his dry throat, and continued to ask, "Why did you attack Jiangdong instead of North?"
Hearing this, Sima Hui couldn't help but sneered, "How did Moore know that the old man didn't plan for the Central Plains? It's just that they all failed.
At the beginning, Cao Cao was in full swing, fearing that he would be difficult to deal with in the future, so he wanted to seek the north first.Unexpectedly, after the death of Cao Ang and the plague in Xuzhou, the old man found it difficult to remove Cao Cao, so he chose Jiangdong. "
Therefore, this old man really wanted to endanger Cao Cao.
Sima Hui must have been instigated by Yu Ji to spread the disease.
Thinking of this, Ruan Qing's eyes quickly turned red, bloodshot eyes appeared.
He clenched his teeth tightly, wanting to crush them, his nails pinched the palm of his hand tightly, and he didn't even notice that the flesh was scratched.He was trying his best to suppress his anger, trying his best to suppress that he was going to jump up in the next moment and kill the old man in front of him.
If Sima Hui hadn't asked Yu Ji to spread the disease, then he wouldn't have chosen to do disaster relief.
At that time, he will definitely follow Cao Cao to conquer Wancheng, then he will definitely think of the disaster that will happen in Wancheng, so that Cao Ang will not die, and he will not come to Jiangdong.
It was Sima Hui, the person in front of him, who cut off his supposedly happy life with his own hands.
"Almost all the princes in the north were brought down by Cao Cao. If this is the case, sir, aren't you afraid that the world will be more chaotic after Cao Cao's death?"
Sima Hui looked calm, "I'm afraid that Cao Cao will be difficult to deal with in the future, just for His Majesty to take power, the Han family's state will be extended, as for the world...
In a world of peace, there will always be bloodshed and sacrifices, many of whom are innocent.Don't you know this truth in Mu'erjiuli battlefield? "
"You..." Ruan Qing's voice was hoarse and fragmented because of suppressing her emotions, "Then why did you seek Jiangdong instead of Xiliang and Shuchuan?"
Sima Hui said, "Although the north is at the center of war and imperial power, the old man now lives in Xiangyang, and his contacts are mostly distributed on both sides of the Yangtze River.
Second, Sun Ce's character is too extreme and surly, which makes Jiangdong have hidden dangers and is more likely to be shaken.
Three, judging from the momentum, Sun Ce has no heart to serve Han.Therefore, it is even more necessary to hold the power in their own hands, or in the hands of Feng Han people. "
Things have happened, and it is not easy to regret more.At that time, Ruan Qing had barely controlled her emotions, but the coldness in her eyes couldn't be hidden,
"Who is the Feng Han person you mentioned just now? Is it someone else? Or Mr.? Oh, after years of planning, don't you want a foreigner to take power in the end? How do you know that this person, or Mr. himself, will become Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others in the future? ?”
"Who said that foreign surnames are going to be in power?" Sima Hui suddenly smiled, "Muer, you came to Jiangdong, isn't it because you don't want to be manipulated by Cao thief at will, and you are willing to be a puppet?
Otherwise, why did you abandon the north and come to the south?Instead of continuing to stay under Cao Cao's command, or letting the other party help you to the throne, let him be at his mercy? "
So Sima Hui's words mean that because he arrived in Jiangdong and was seen by Sima Hui when he and Sun Ce came to Jingzhou, he thought that he was going to sneak into Jiangdong to stir up the situation and gain power.
So he pushed Sima Hui's actions to disturb Jiangdong?
No, no.
He came to Jiangdong because he really didn't want to be a puppet emperor. He didn't want to spend his whole life looking at Cao Cao but not getting a blind date.That's why he came to Jiangdong to escape.
He would rather run away than sit in that position. It would be so heartbreaking to watch him drift away from Cao Cao.
But if Cao Ang didn't die that day, Cao Cao's position will be inherited by Cao Ang in the future.Then maybe Cao Ang will try to persuade Cao Cao not to let him sit in that position, so why should he run away?
Obviously it was because of Sima Hui that Cao Ang died and he came to Jiangdong without any room.But it was because he came to Jiangdong that Sima Hui stirred up the unrest in Jiangdong for these years.
It's an endless loop.This is a cause and effect that makes people can't help laughing out loud, but also reveals a bit of sadness.
He has always been a puppet on this line, and has always been involuntarily pushed forward by those invisible hands, unable to turn back.
He can't escape, it's too late.
Cao Ang died in Wancheng without redemption because of a power struggle for the Han Dynasty Zhongxing who was related to him.His ten-year companionship with Cao Cao was also interrupted because of this joke, and was buried in the loess of the past.
He didn't know who to blame for a moment.
Is it Sima Hui's ridiculous loyalty?Or his absurd identity.
Perhaps we shouldn't leave Yingchuan's Taoyuan, so that all causes and effects will not rotate.He doesn't have to be like a clown. To outsiders, his every move is stupid and funny. He is the only one who is still working hard.
"Qing is about to disappoint you." Ruan Qing said in a hoarse voice.
His voice was revealed after extremely suppressed sadness, like a deserted state of lifelessness, as if it would fall apart at the touch of a touch.
He said, "Qing never thought about the revival of the Han Dynasty. It was before, and it was even more so after that. My life should not be chosen at will by you.
Mr. Shui Jing, you probably don't know.Your planning over the years, the pacification of Li Shu's rebellion, the appeasement of Linhai Shanyue, the eradication of the Qin family, and the suppression of Sun Fu's rebellion are all done by me alone.The person who hinders your plan the most from the beginning to the end is the royal child you always wanted to support.
In my life, my surnames are Ruan, Cao, and Sun. In short, I will never be surnamed Liu. "
Ruan Qing guessed that Sima Hui didn't know that he hindered his plan.I don't know his real purpose of coming to Jiangdong, let alone what he thinks in his heart, otherwise, he wouldn't have handed over the book of governance to him so easily, and he wouldn't have explained these things clearly to him.
Sure enough, following his words, Sima Hui's calm face gradually became stunned, "You, what are you talking about?"
"I said. I will not try to revive the Han Dynasty. I, Ruan Qing, will only assist the people I want to help. As for the ridiculous Han Dynasty, let him fend for himself."
Ruan Qing said these words coldly, then flung her sleeves and left.
Sima Hui shouted incredulously from behind, "Ruan Qing! You are the royal family. Have you forgotten that your master asked you to help the Han Dynasty rejuvenate and unify the mountains and rivers?"
"That's my master's own words." Ruan Qing strode forward without looking back, "I never planned to do it myself."
It wasn't until Ruan Qing left that the door of the thatched hut next to him was opened, and a young man walked out, eight feet tall, with a face like a crown jade.
"Sir." He walked up to Sima Hui, looked at the direction Ruan Qing left, and said, "The student said earlier that it is better to let the person who really wants to revive the Han Dynasty personally than to invest his hope in the person he speculates. Find it. So that the other party can pay more attention to it.”
After leaving the manor, Ruan Qing took off the rein and held it tightly in his hand.He stared at the tall gate, with a murderous and hostile look that could no longer be concealed in his eyes, like a sword blade gleaming coldly under the moonlight in winter, trying to cut people open one by one.
"Sima Hui..."
He gritted his teeth and roared in an extremely suppressed voice, his voice was full of hatred, "I want you to die badly, I hate Xuewu..."
The author has something to say:
This chapter is so convoluted, my brain is burning up when I write it. T﹏T
When the army returned, there were always many things that needed to be sorted out. Lu Su went to report to Zhang Zhao. Ruan Qing felt dizzy looking at the data submitted by various ministries.
Just when his head was muddled, he suddenly felt something hit the top of his head, and then fell on the table with a bang.Ruan Qing took a closer look and found that it was a white silk wrapped into a small ball.
He raised his eyes, and saw Sun Ce holding a small box, standing outside the window and looking at him with a smile, as if the spring of the whole day fell on him.
Ruan Qing lowered her eyes again, threw the thing in her hand to the corner of the wall, picked up a pen and continued to count.
Sun Ce glanced at him with a light click, strode over, sat down opposite Ruan Qing, brushed off all the messy bamboo slips with his hand, and put the small box in his hand on the desk when Ruan Qing suddenly raised his head and looked at him in displeasure. He smiled and said, "Ce found this from Chaisang, and brought it here for you."
Ruan Qing's originally sharp eyes softened, and she glanced at Sun Ce indifferently, "I don't want it." Then she was about to get up.
"Ah." Sun Ceteng knelt up, crossed the table with half his body, and grabbed Ruan Qing's wrist.Ruan Qing frowned imperceptibly, her face was still expressionless, but she continued to exert force with her wrists, trying to break free from the restraints.
"Qingqing." Sun Ce called out suddenly in a slow tone, and complained, "The anger that has been going on for so long should go away. Before... it was Ce who misunderstood you, so he will come to you to apologize as soon as he comes back."
Seeing that Ruan Qing still didn't respond, Sun Ce said, "This time, Mr. Zhang has already said that it is your enemy who is in danger. First, you will catch the culprit, maintain the political situation in the city, and then work tirelessly to invite the prefect of Wu County overnight Come to the rescue. This time Wu Jun was able to save the day, and you should be the first to contribute.
What do you want this time?I promise you all the strategies, don't be angry, okay?Ordinary couples still have temper tantrums, let alone you and me. "
As soon as Sun Ce's words came out, Ruan Qing's jawline immediately tightened, and he grasped and grasped his hand, but thinking that Sun Ce was still holding his hand, he could bear it.He lowered his eyes halfway, and said lightly, "Okay, Dongxiqing accepts it, and Marquis Wu lets go."
With a little joy on his brows, Sun Ce let go of his hand and hurriedly opened the box, saying, "Isn't Qing'er short of paint? Ce sent people to search for these from various places. The color is very good. Whatever you do."
Only then did Ruan Qing move her gaze, and her gaze fell on the open box, where various ores of various colors were randomly placed.
He glanced at Sun Ce, who was obviously relieved, and suddenly felt that all this was getting more ridiculous, so he couldn't help chuckling.He asked under Sun Ce's questioning gaze, "The wife of Marquis Wu's back house thinks no one would dare to lose his temper with Marquis Wu."
Otherwise, how could he not be able to see whether he forgave or not.
Sun Ce was taken aback for a moment, and quickly took Ruan Qing's hand and said, "They are different from Qing'er. Qing'er loses his temper and looks very pretty, and Ce also likes it very much."

But it's not that he didn't quarrel before, didn't they all reconcile in the end, why this time Ruan Qing's reaction was the same as before, but he always felt that there was something wrong, which made people feel blocked.
"Marquis Wu." Ruan Qing called out suddenly.
Sun Ce came back to his senses with a blink of an eye, with a bright smile on his face again, "Huh?"
Ruan Qing threw the ore back into the box, raised his eyelids, stared at the other party with a pair of cold eyes, and said, "How Marquis Wu plans to deal with Sun Fu."
So Qing'er really cared about him, otherwise how could she bother about Sun Fu's affairs.
At this point, Sun Ce was completely relieved, and said, "Sun Fu wants to collude with foreign thieves and launch a coup d'état. This crime cannot be punished. Ce wants to behead him..."
"Not good." Ruan Qing usually speaks with a characteristic elegant and gentle voice, his eyes are still calm, like the deepest pool, without any waves, as if he and Sun Fu have never met, what he said These words are from the most objective point of view.
"After all, Sun Fu is a descendant of the clan, and he is also related to Marquis Wu by blood. Now that Marquis Wu has offended the family, he must not offend the clan again. As for Sun Fu, you might as well spare his life."
Sun Ce just looked at Ruan Qing for a while, trying to read something from the other person's face, but the other person's expression showed no flaws, so he nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to Qing'er this time."
What Ruan Qing said before has all come true, and the plan he made did not fail. In addition, Sun Ce now intends to ease the relationship with Ruan Qing, so he agreed easily.
"En." Ruan Qing put the box on the ground, then picked up the scattered business affairs.
"Marquis Wu, it's time for you to leave."
"Qing'er..."
"Marquis Wu." Ruan Qing had no choice but to look at Sun Ce again, interrupting him, "The army is coming back, I'm still busy."
This time, it was the clan rebellion he trusted the most, and it was the family he hated the most who helped him put down the rebellion, which finally shook Sun Ce's philosophy that he had always insisted on.

This time Ruan Qing was in the ranks of the army, and when he arrived at the place where he set up camp, he did not communicate with anyone, and quietly crossed the Yangtze River by himself, heading for Xiangyang.
In this age of wars, Jingzhou still maintains the last bit of peace, like a piece of fat, sandwiched between the forces of the north and the south, coveted by tigers, maintaining the last peace before the storm.
The vast land is divided by rice paddies, and the fields are neatly cut, filled with green seedlings.
Under the impact of the water flow, the waterwheel whirled around, sending out streams of silver mountain springs.Farmhouses are grouped together to form villages.
There was a lot of voices, the smoke was curling up, and the barefoot peasants were working hard with their backs in the sky, in exchange for the food they depended on for survival.Children still don't know the pressure they need to bear when they grow up, and they are calling for friends and running on the wet long acres.
The little boy with yellow hair hanging down in front sits on the back of a strong buffalo, blowing a melodious tune.
Ruan Qing rode on the horse and took the reins. After looking around, she turned her gaze back to the boy in front, "How long is it?"
The boy ignored him and continued to play his flute.The old cow walked slowly, his tail wagging once and for all.
The surroundings were full of peace and tranquility, but Ruan Qing's heart was not at all peaceful. He thought of what happened just now, and his brows frowned even tighter.
"You are Ruan Qing, right?"
"How do you know my name?"
"My husband said that a nobleman is coming today, and he specially ordered me to wait here. He also said that the young man riding a fine horse and wearing brocade clothes is that nobleman."
"Your husband is strange, how does he know that I'm coming to see him today?"
"My husband knows astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, and yin and yang. There is nothing in this world that he doesn't know. When we meet now, the nobleman will come with me."
How did this Sima Hui know he was coming?Is there really someone who knows everything in this world?
Thinking about it, Ruan Qing felt more and more heavy in her heart.
After walking for a while, I came to a bamboo forest, which was lush and green, with overlapping bamboo shadows, among which the deer path was winding and the winding path led to seclusion.
After walking a few more steps, it suddenly became clear, and a manor came into view.
Ruan Qing tied the horse to the door, and the boy went to knock on the door.
Ruan Qing looked up at the dense courtyard, and gradually felt a strange feeling in her heart, every inch of skin on her body was screaming, wanting to escape from here.
Now he knows that these feelings that once made him tremble are traces of the irresistible way of heaven, although subtle, they are enough to make people fear.
His gaze darkened.And he was expected to be good.The last "Taiping Essentials" is really hidden here.
As early as when he was facing the sea, he had suspected that maybe the last book of ruling the world was in the hands of Sima Hui.
After all, the matter of Gu corpses is only recorded in "Taiping Yaoshu".And this matter was involved with Sima Hui.
In addition, later generations have said that Zhuge Liang has the talent of mastering the world.Compared with Guo Jia, who can be called a ghost, what Zhuge Liang really shines is his strategy of governing the country.If the book of governance was mastered by Sima Hui and taught to Zhuge Liang, it would make sense.
The door was opened, and a person stuck his head out. He saw the boy and then Ruan Qing, so he opened the door, "Please come in, sir. You have been waiting for a long time."
Ruan Qing followed the little boy, walked through the courtyard, and came to the quiet backyard, only to hear the long and quiet sound of the piano coming from under the gazebo.
He didn't know Guqin, but he thought that many people were arty, so he held back and stopped the boy who was going to report, and stood not far away to listen to the sound of the piano.
He likes intense and sonorous tunes, and this tune is too long and long, so he can't enjoy half of it.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano was heard, and the people sitting in the pavilion laughed loudly, "Your honor has been here for a long time, why don't you come out and see him?"
Then Ruan Qing came out from the corner, strode forward, and said, "Sir, the sound of the zither conveys the rhyme, and Qing was stunned for a moment."
As Ruan Qing sat down without any greetings, Sima Hui didn't care, just smiled, "Long time no see. Should I say I'm engaged? Or the master book?"
"You really know Qing's identity." Ruan Qing's gaze became sharp for a moment, and soon turned into a gentle smile, and said in relief, "Mr. Shui Jing has been taught by my teacher's "Taiping Essentials" In this way, you and I are considered to be of the same family, so it doesn’t matter if you just call him Qing.”
"Haha, Moore is really clever, and he has already guessed that "Taiping Essentials" is in the hands of the old man."
"Mr. Shui Jing." Ruan Qing squinted her eyes and smiled, without any warmth in her eyes, "You have held it for many years, and you must have learned a lot. Now it should be returned to its original owner."
"Naturally." Sima Hui sighed, and said with a little regret, "This was originally a secret technique taught to assist the Han Dynasty. Now the master has come to ask for it. Why don't you return it?"
"That's good."
Sima Hui called the servant and asked him to take out the volume of "Taiping Essentials" in the study and hand it to Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing held it in his hand and looked at it for a few times. After confirming that it was correct, he put it away, and then looked at Sima Hui. "This time, besides taking back the "Taiping Essentials", you have one more thing to ask sir."
"Moore said it's okay."
"Mr. has lived in seclusion in Jingzhou for a long time, and doesn't care about world affairs. Why are you so interested in Jiangdong now? Over the years, everything has been pointed at Mr. You really can't figure out why Mr. wants to disturb the political situation in Jiangdong."
After hearing this, Sima Hui sighed again, "I don't even know, since you have a relationship with the imperial family, why bother to enter Jiangdong."
Sima Hui really knew his identity.
Ruan Qing immediately became wary.
Why is Sima Hui so clear about his affairs?
Also, the meaning of Sima Hui's words just now.Are those things really related to the other party?Why?Why did Sima Hui bother Jiang Dong?
Narrowing her eyes, Ruan Qing pondered for a moment before reaching a conclusion, "Sir, do you want Jiang Dong to mess up himself and take the opportunity to seize power?"
Sima Hui smiled lightly, noncommittal.
Ruan Qing's eyes widened, she was very puzzled, "Why? Mister has lived in seclusion in Jingzhou for many years, why bother Jiangdong?"
"Mu Er." Sima Hui said, "Now the Han Dynasty is weak, why don't you want to revive the 400-year-old Guozuo of the Han Dynasty since you are the heir of the Liu surname?"
Ruan Qing took a breath of cool air, and instantly seemed to open up Ren Du's two veins.My brain brightened up.
How could he forget.
Zhuge Liang devoted himself to the Han Dynasty.Sima Hui is even more optimistic about Liu Bei.This Sima Hui, from the beginning to the end, supports the old rule of the Han Dynasty.
It was he who had entered a dead end before. He only felt that Sima Hui and the Sun family had no grudges, and he didn't understand why Sima Hui wanted to mess up Jiangdong for no reason.
It was because of his small structure that he never thought of this relationship.Sima Hui doesn't need to have any old grudges with the Sun family, just supporting the Han family is enough to explain any behavior of the other party.
"You want to encourage the Jiangdong family, seize power, go north to the Central Plains, submit to the orthodoxy, and revive the Han Dynasty." Ruan Qing stared at Sima Hui, and although he couldn't believe it, he said word by word.
Sima Hui still looked amiable, smiled cheerfully, and nodded.
"!"
Ruan Qing's pupils constricted violently, his eyes were full of horror.
How dare, how dare the other party! ?Who would have thought that Sima Hui would dare to play such a big game of chess. He was in a quiet corner of Jingzhou, but he stirred up waves in Jiangdong.
For some reason, the scene buried in his mind that should have been forgotten was now clearly remembered.
As early as when he and Sun Ce and Sun Quan came to Jingzhou Academy, when Sima Hui saw Sun Ce, his expression was shocked, and he hid it silently.
Why was Sima Hui shocked when he saw Sun Ce?
Perhaps in his cognition at the time, Sun Ce should have died long ago.How could it not be shocking that the person who was supposed to die suddenly appeared in front of him alive and kicking?
If Sun Ce died at that time, and the position of the Lord of Jiangdong was passed on to Sun Quan, the discord that Jiangdong had hidden for many years would explode in an instant.
And Sun Quan will not fight abroad because he cannot sit firmly in Jiangdong.At that time, Jiangdong will not further expand its power and threaten the Han Dynasty.
But Sun Ce did not die.Those hidden discords can only continue to simmer.So Sima Hui chose to fuel the flames, igniting these scourges one by one, disrupting Jiangdong's internal affairs, and taking the opportunity to seize Jiangdong.
For so many years, Sima Hui played a big game of chess in silence.Step by step, he gnawed at Jiangdong bit by bit.
When he found out that Sun Ce had gradually changed his view of the aristocratic family, he chose to kill Sun Yi without hesitation, which instantly intensified the conflict that the two parties had finally eased up.Then……
Huang Zu sent Deng Long to attack Jiangdong, presumably it was also Sima Hui's handwriting. Liu Biao treated celebrities with courtesy, and Sima Hui must be familiar with Liu Biao, and Huang Zu was Liu Biao's subordinate, so it is impossible not to know Sima Hui.
This must be the case, otherwise why Huang Zu did not send troops for so many years, but it was Sun Ce who came to harass him when he broke up with the aristocratic family, and then asked Huang Zu to send troops, so that Sun Ce led the army and gave Sun Fu an opportunity loopholes.
What exactly does Sima Hui want? Is it really just the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty?
Suddenly, endless fear rose in Ruan Qing's heart.
He remembered Qin Zhujun once said that it was Sima Hui who asked him to refine Gu corpses.Why practice Gu corpse?Is it also to seize power?If you use this thing as an army, no one can stop it.
Since Sima Hui dared to extend his hand to Jiangdong, what about the Central Plains?Was it slowly eroding the opponent's power without Cao Cao's knowledge?
Ruan Qing's heart beat faster, and there was uncontrollable panic in his eyes, he couldn't think anymore.
His throat slipped, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten his dry throat, and continued to ask, "Why did you attack Jiangdong instead of North?"
Hearing this, Sima Hui couldn't help but sneered, "How did Moore know that the old man didn't plan for the Central Plains? It's just that they all failed.
At the beginning, Cao Cao was in full swing, fearing that he would be difficult to deal with in the future, so he wanted to seek the north first.Unexpectedly, after the death of Cao Ang and the plague in Xuzhou, the old man found it difficult to remove Cao Cao, so he chose Jiangdong. "
Therefore, this old man really wanted to endanger Cao Cao.
Sima Hui must have been instigated by Yu Ji to spread the disease.
Thinking of this, Ruan Qing's eyes quickly turned red, bloodshot eyes appeared.
He clenched his teeth tightly, wanting to crush them, his nails pinched the palm of his hand tightly, and he didn't even notice that the flesh was scratched.He was trying his best to suppress his anger, trying his best to suppress that he was going to jump up in the next moment and kill the old man in front of him.
If Sima Hui hadn't asked Yu Ji to spread the disease, then he wouldn't have chosen to do disaster relief.
At that time, he will definitely follow Cao Cao to conquer Wancheng, then he will definitely think of the disaster that will happen in Wancheng, so that Cao Ang will not die, and he will not come to Jiangdong.
It was Sima Hui, the person in front of him, who cut off his supposedly happy life with his own hands.
"Almost all the princes in the north were brought down by Cao Cao. If this is the case, sir, aren't you afraid that the world will be more chaotic after Cao Cao's death?"
Sima Hui looked calm, "I'm afraid that Cao Cao will be difficult to deal with in the future, just for His Majesty to take power, the Han family's state will be extended, as for the world...
In a world of peace, there will always be bloodshed and sacrifices, many of whom are innocent.Don't you know this truth in Mu'erjiuli battlefield? "
"You..." Ruan Qing's voice was hoarse and fragmented because of suppressing her emotions, "Then why did you seek Jiangdong instead of Xiliang and Shuchuan?"
Sima Hui said, "Although the north is at the center of war and imperial power, the old man now lives in Xiangyang, and his contacts are mostly distributed on both sides of the Yangtze River.
Second, Sun Ce's character is too extreme and surly, which makes Jiangdong have hidden dangers and is more likely to be shaken.
Three, judging from the momentum, Sun Ce has no heart to serve Han.Therefore, it is even more necessary to hold the power in their own hands, or in the hands of Feng Han people. "
Things have happened, and it is not easy to regret more.At that time, Ruan Qing had barely controlled her emotions, but the coldness in her eyes couldn't be hidden,
"Who is the Feng Han person you mentioned just now? Is it someone else? Or Mr.? Oh, after years of planning, don't you want a foreigner to take power in the end? How do you know that this person, or Mr. himself, will become Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others in the future? ?”
"Who said that foreign surnames are going to be in power?" Sima Hui suddenly smiled, "Muer, you came to Jiangdong, isn't it because you don't want to be manipulated by Cao thief at will, and you are willing to be a puppet?
Otherwise, why did you abandon the north and come to the south?Instead of continuing to stay under Cao Cao's command, or letting the other party help you to the throne, let him be at his mercy? "
So Sima Hui's words mean that because he arrived in Jiangdong and was seen by Sima Hui when he and Sun Ce came to Jingzhou, he thought that he was going to sneak into Jiangdong to stir up the situation and gain power.
So he pushed Sima Hui's actions to disturb Jiangdong?
No, no.
He came to Jiangdong because he really didn't want to be a puppet emperor. He didn't want to spend his whole life looking at Cao Cao but not getting a blind date.That's why he came to Jiangdong to escape.
He would rather run away than sit in that position. It would be so heartbreaking to watch him drift away from Cao Cao.
But if Cao Ang didn't die that day, Cao Cao's position will be inherited by Cao Ang in the future.Then maybe Cao Ang will try to persuade Cao Cao not to let him sit in that position, so why should he run away?
Obviously it was because of Sima Hui that Cao Ang died and he came to Jiangdong without any room.But it was because he came to Jiangdong that Sima Hui stirred up the unrest in Jiangdong for these years.
It's an endless loop.This is a cause and effect that makes people can't help laughing out loud, but also reveals a bit of sadness.
He has always been a puppet on this line, and has always been involuntarily pushed forward by those invisible hands, unable to turn back.
He can't escape, it's too late.
Cao Ang died in Wancheng without redemption because of a power struggle for the Han Dynasty Zhongxing who was related to him.His ten-year companionship with Cao Cao was also interrupted because of this joke, and was buried in the loess of the past.
He didn't know who to blame for a moment.
Is it Sima Hui's ridiculous loyalty?Or his absurd identity.
Perhaps we shouldn't leave Yingchuan's Taoyuan, so that all causes and effects will not rotate.He doesn't have to be like a clown. To outsiders, his every move is stupid and funny. He is the only one who is still working hard.
"Qing is about to disappoint you." Ruan Qing said in a hoarse voice.
His voice was revealed after extremely suppressed sadness, like a deserted state of lifelessness, as if it would fall apart at the touch of a touch.
He said, "Qing never thought about the revival of the Han Dynasty. It was before, and it was even more so after that. My life should not be chosen at will by you.
Mr. Shui Jing, you probably don't know.Your planning over the years, the pacification of Li Shu's rebellion, the appeasement of Linhai Shanyue, the eradication of the Qin family, and the suppression of Sun Fu's rebellion are all done by me alone.The person who hinders your plan the most from the beginning to the end is the royal child you always wanted to support.
In my life, my surnames are Ruan, Cao, and Sun. In short, I will never be surnamed Liu. "
Ruan Qing guessed that Sima Hui didn't know that he hindered his plan.I don't know his real purpose of coming to Jiangdong, let alone what he thinks in his heart, otherwise, he wouldn't have handed over the book of governance to him so easily, and he wouldn't have explained these things clearly to him.
Sure enough, following his words, Sima Hui's calm face gradually became stunned, "You, what are you talking about?"
"I said. I will not try to revive the Han Dynasty. I, Ruan Qing, will only assist the people I want to help. As for the ridiculous Han Dynasty, let him fend for himself."
Ruan Qing said these words coldly, then flung her sleeves and left.
Sima Hui shouted incredulously from behind, "Ruan Qing! You are the royal family. Have you forgotten that your master asked you to help the Han Dynasty rejuvenate and unify the mountains and rivers?"
"That's my master's own words." Ruan Qing strode forward without looking back, "I never planned to do it myself."
It wasn't until Ruan Qing left that the door of the thatched hut next to him was opened, and a young man walked out, eight feet tall, with a face like a crown jade.
"Sir." He walked up to Sima Hui, looked at the direction Ruan Qing left, and said, "The student said earlier that it is better to let the person who really wants to revive the Han Dynasty personally than to invest his hope in the person he speculates. Find it. So that the other party can pay more attention to it.”
After leaving the manor, Ruan Qing took off the rein and held it tightly in his hand.He stared at the tall gate, with a murderous and hostile look that could no longer be concealed in his eyes, like a sword blade gleaming coldly under the moonlight in winter, trying to cut people open one by one.
"Sima Hui..."
He gritted his teeth and roared in an extremely suppressed voice, his voice was full of hatred, "I want you to die badly, I hate Xuewu..."
