Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

The sky is dry and things are dry, beware of heart fire.

In fact, Guo Jia did not spend a lot of effort to conquer Xinye. The only accident was that Le Jin invited him to drink on a whim on the eve of the eve of the army. Guo Jia declined but was afraid that Le Jin would be suspicious.

Who would have thought that Guo Fengxiao, who has the word "sacrifice wine" in his official position, would be a pourer?Someone else might be able to evade the excuse, but he poured out the wine immediately, and he didn't even have a chance to pretend to be drunk.It is said that in the past Liu Xi held a banquet and served Guo Jiazun with white water. Before that, I always thought it was a joke in the market.

Fortunately, Guo Jia is easy to get drunk and wakes up quickly, and the sergeants under his command are also well-trained. He called Jin at Yinshi, and he didn't panic at all. He took control of Xinye in a short time, and led Le Jin to flee with only a hundred cavalry.

Originally, Guo Jia ordered Shao Zhe to come to Chaoling, but Kong Ming was sent back to Xinye by Liu Xi on business. He arrived just in time for Shao Zhe to leave, so he took the initiative to ask for orders, and was sent by Guo Jia with ulterior motives to pick me back to Xinye.

So now I am forced to sit in a steamer-like carriage with Kong Ming, feeling very unhappy.

It was midsummer, and the sun was scorching the earth extraordinarily hard. As far as the eyes could see, there were sharp rays of sunlight, mixed together in white, dazzling and glaring.The thin bamboo curtains are unable to resist the fierce summer heat. The heat waves pour into the car continuously, turning the small car into a steamer. The walls of the car are so hot that it is almost impossible to touch it with bare hands. It only takes a quarter of an hour to soak the clothes with sweat .I patiently sat in the car, only to feel that even the air around me had become thick and thick, as if it had stopped flowing completely.

Kong Ming is not much better than me.Men are yang and women are yin, men are naturally more afraid of heat than women, but Kong Ming is also a person who is extremely particular about appearance, the long gown that has not changed for a hundred years looks beautiful and elegant on weekdays, but when the sun burns, all the elegant elegance evaporates into nothingness. Floating clouds.

The smell in the carriage was horrible.Sweating in summer is a normal physiological reaction, and Kong Ming is not a god without sweat glands, and it is completely unworthy of him to dress so neatly on a hot day.I had already made up my mind to give him a cold face, but as soon as I set off on the road, I was so stinky with the smell of sweat that I couldn't bear it anymore. I rushed people: "Go out and ride a horse, I can't stand the smell on your body!"

"Kong Ming is not good at riding horses." He didn't even lift his eyelids, as serious as he wanted, "Since I was thrown by a strong horse five years ago, I have never been sensitive to horse riding."

I know this.The six arts of a gentleman, Mr. Shui Jing's private school not only teaches classics and historical articles, but also teaches horseback riding and archery.Kong Ming came out on top in the culture class, but his grades in the physical education class were terrible. Various accidents continued, especially when he was sacked five years ago.That time, he lay in bed for three full months before he could barely get out of bed.

I once secretly thought that maybe it was because he knew that he was not compatible with horses, so he always appeared in a four-wheeled chariot in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", staying away from horses and cherishing life.

But what does it matter to me?

I ordered: "I told you to go out to ride a horse, so you have to go out. I am the king and you are the minister. The king makes the minister die, and the minister has to die!" Anyway, I have already revealed my identity, and the majestic princess is not too much, right?

"Where did this fallacy come from?" Kong Ming refused to obey, and said in surprise, "I only know that 'the emperor should treat his ministers with courtesy, and the ministers should be loyal to his emperor'. I have never heard such unreasonable teachings."

Well... After time travel, I also read the Thirteen Confucian Classics in the thatched cottage, but I have never seen the relevant records, and maybe later generations took advantage of it.But I just don't want to see Kong Ming, and he knows his attitude towards me. Is it interesting to be so eloquent?On the contrary, there is a suspicion of refusal and welcome.I was really impatient to play riddles with him back and forth, so I gritted my teeth and said with a cold face: "You are so smart, don't pretend to be confused. The past is over, and from now on we will each go to the sky. It has nothing to do with each other.

"That's it." Kong Ming didn't seem to have thought that my attitude was so tough this time. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he restrained his face from joking and asked seriously, "Does the princess think that Kong Ming is a person who plays with emotions because of his insincerity?"

do not you?I condemned silently with my eyes.

"I don't blame you for having resentment in your heart." Kong Ming smiled wryly, but he didn't avoid it. He looked at me openly, with no shame in his eyes, "Nan Shuang, I know you suspect that I have ulterior motives in deliberately approaching me now, but at the beginning When you appeared in Longzhong, your words were not expressive, your manner was suspicious, and you claimed to be Cao. I suspected that you were Cao Cao’s daughter, so you have been keeping aloof. Cao Cao is ambitious and plotting to steal the country. I am not a good master. I don’t want to be branded by the Cao family because of marriage. .”

I was stunned. This was an answer I had never thought of before: "I don't know how many people have the surname Cao in the world. Why do you think I am the daughter of Cao Cao?"

Kongming sighed and asked, "Do you still remember that when you first arrived in the thatched cottage, you used to be a carved phoenix wooden hairpin? You may not have noticed that there are three dark green patterns on that hairpin, which are the marks of the Cao family."

"I don't know..." I have only met Cao Cao a few times, and in the deep palace, there will be no one to teach a fool to recognize the signs of the Cao family.That wooden hairpin is neither gold nor jade, and it looks worthless at first glance. The morning when I fled the palace, it happened to be inserted into my head by a maid, so I brought it out.Thinking about it now, it is indeed very likely that it was Cao Pi's betrothal gift sent to the palace.

Kongming continued: "I have liked you for a long time, but a gentleman exists in the world, one is loyal and the other is righteous, and the children's affair falls behind. Originally, I made up my mind to let you go, so I didn't stop you from leaving the thatched cottage , It wasn’t until later that you realized that you didn’t respond to the silver lock that Cao Cao gave to Cui Long’s nephew, did you realize that you might have guessed your origin wrong.”

Does that silver lock also have the seal of the Cao family?I didn't pay attention at all: "You mean, if I were Cao Cao's daughter, you would abandon me without hesitation?"

"Indeed." Kong Ming observed my face and said cautiously, "Although I really want to deliberately deceive you and tell you that I will never leave you no matter what, but if you really are the daughter of Cao Cao, we can only sigh that there is a destiny." No point."

Really, it is very in line with Kong Ming's style of behavior.

"What about now? Because I suddenly became a princess, so you found that you can use me as a ready-made ladder to the sky. If you marry me, you can get fame and fortune at your fingertips. At least 20 years of struggle will be saved?" What else in this world is better than being next to a princess Fast promotion shortcut?

"Nan Shuang, I'm not stupid. If that's the case, why would I say it to make you turn away?" Kong Ming heard my anger, with a wry smile on his lips, and said helplessly, "What I want to say is that although the original motive was not Chun, but now that I have recognized my true heart, I just ask you to let go of the previous suspicions and give me a chance to make up for my crimes. I, Zhuge Kongming, am willing to swear here that I will never change my infatuation from now on. good?"

In the stuffy carriage, I was overwhelmed by the sudden confession, with mixed feelings.
