[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

Untrustworthy, available, or killed.

On the silk paper sent thousands of miles away, the fragrance of ink remains, and the sharpness of the pen is like a knife.

Counting the time, when Zhou Yu, who was guarding Baqiu, dipped his pen in ink and wrote these nine characters, it would be just like now, with the bright moon in the sky and the gentle night wind blowing the hair he would loose before going to bed, and the flickering lights shining brightly. His face became more and more handsome like jade, softening the edges and corners of the past, but still exuding the killing spirit of walking in the army.

Sun Ce's thoughts drifted away from the silk paper, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses. He read the nine characters several times, and then put the silk paper into the small box next to the case. Silk notes left by mutual correspondence.Sun Ce once joked with Zhou Yu, saying that the silk paper is a rare thing, plus the ink marks of you and me, if it is sold, it will be worth a thousand gold, and it can be regarded as a romantic story.

Naturally, the joke drew only laughter.These silk papers are neither scriptures nor books, and they are used. If they can be sold for any price, they can only be used as miscellaneous items for the two of them to dig out and look at in their spare time, looking for something to think about.

It was only then that Sun Ce realized that he had lost his mind unconsciously again.Putting Xiao? back into the distance, he straightened his expression and began to sort out the whole thing from the beginning.

In the beginning, when he and Gong Jin met Yu Huai on the side road, it was considered a deliberate act of pretending to be a coincidence.Yu Huai cast it as a conspiracy, betting that he could make himself interested enough in him during this short trip together, even if he could easily think that Yu Huai was someone sent to Jiangdong by a certain force.

Yu Huai made a conspiracy, but he and Gong Jin intentionally followed suit, let's see why Yu Huai came here.At the same time, I see that Yu Huai is actually a person who values ​​love to the utmost, so I am more confident in letting Yu Huai be convinced and turn it into my own use.During the visit a few days ago, this level of purpose had already been achieved. Although Yu Huai did not confirm anything, he actually acquiesced in his own guesses during the conversation, and even finally began to stand on his own side to make suggestions for his own side.He reciprocated, and he did not cling to the plan to attack Guangling. Anyway, Brother Quan is already recruiting troops, and he will go to Guangling soon to personally command the attack on Guangling. This plan is obvious at first glance, there is no need to hide a plan and be honest. friends.

He and Yu Huai were having a good time drinking and chatting about everything.After a few days, Yu Huai got better and went to the countryside to hunt several times. When he hunted the prey, he would sit on the ground, grill firewood, or drink from the mountain spring, or pour wine from the cups to each other. Talking about everything, so happy.

However, the variable comes after that.Or if he hadn't drunk for many days, and finally relieved some cravings today, Yu Huai was in a good mood, and proposed to make a divination for Sun Ce through the branch.Ever since he had seen too many tricks by monsters like Tai Ji to deceive people, Sun Ce hated this kind of untestable prophecy and divination, but it was hard to refute Yu Huai's interest.After bluntly expressing his contempt for divination, Sun Ce saw Yu Huai's engrossing attention, and finally became a little interested.

As a result, after Yu Huaibu came up with the hexagram, his complexion suddenly turned pale, and his brows were furrowed like a river, as if he saw something extremely terrifying from among the dead branches.Then, they rode back home without saying a word, and went to visit again, but Yu Huai all complained of illness and disappeared behind closed doors.

That hexagram... what is the mystery?

Sun Ce hated himself for knowing nothing about Yi Xueshi, and regretted it a bit. If he had known this, even if he didn't like it, he should have kept someone who knew about it by his side.After thinking hard for a long time, he still had no idea.In the end, he had to put this matter aside for the time being, and visit Yu Huai after the capture of Guangling.

However, Sun Ce did not expect that the meeting again after the capture of Guangling would come so quickly.

When Sun Quan was young, he met the unfathomable Chen Yuanlong, so he couldn't win any favors. He lost several games in a row, and managed to stabilize the situation by relying on the absolute superiority of his troops. He was able to continue the stalemate outside Guangling City.After receiving the battle report, Sun Ce immediately accelerated the preparations here, and finally decided to launch the army in three days.

The minutiae was handled by his subordinates. Sun Ce didn't have to do everything himself, and because he rushed to deal with most of the affairs, he was free these few days and walked the streets to see the people's sentiments.As a result, by coincidence, not long after walking along the street, I saw a familiar figure.

Yu Huai was standing alone by the stables of the horse sellers on the street, looking at the horses in the stables with great interest.Compared with the previous days, Yu Huai's body seemed to be much better, there was no sick blue color on his face, and he was not wearing a fur that was completely out of season.Beside him, the shopkeeper was chattering about something, and when Sun Ce walked in, he heard that he was introducing his horses to Yu Huai. No matter which horse Yu Huai looked at, the shopkeeper could pull out some allusions. He talked non-stop, boasting that all the horses here were famous horses that were hard to buy.

Everyone who practices martial arts is not good at horses, and few people don't understand horses.Sun Ce wanted to get the puzzling answer from Yu Huai, but when he heard the shopkeeper calling a deer a horse, he couldn't bear it and walked over, opening his mouth and retorting: "This horse has a big head and a small neck, a weak spine and a big belly. , a small neck and a big hoof, possessing the three advantages, how could it be called a galloping horse?"

"Sun, General Sun!" The shopkeeper saw Sun Ce, and was refuted by Sun Ce again. He was startled and frightened, and his body shook like a sieve. He regretted that he just talked about it in order to sell a high price.Fortunately, Sun Ce's attention was not on him at all. He waved his hand, and he immediately trot aside, not caring whether he could sell the horse or not.

Yu Huai was also surprised to see Sun Ce, but it was soon replaced by other obscure emotions, one that Sun Ce could not understand.He bowed his head and greeted: "General Sun, I haven't seen you for a long time, but the general's demeanor is still the same." He glanced at the horse merchant who had retreated far away at this time, "However, the general's arrival scared the shopkeeper away, and Huai Ke didn't know what to do. Which horse to pick?"

"What good horses can there be here?" Sun Ce snorted lightly.There are not many horses in this stable, so he probably scanned them. Although it cannot be said that they are all bad horses, none of them can be called the top grade. Jiu still listened seriously, "There are some good horses in Ce's mansion. If you have time, sir, why don't you go and have a look with Ce?" It would be even better if you could explain to him the meaning of the hexagram that day.

Yu Huai smiled, but didn't respond.

"Brother!" At this time, a female voice came from not far away, it was Yu Huai's younger sister Yu?w.When she saw Sun Ce and Yu Huai standing together, she was taken aback for a moment, but she soon came back to her senses and greeted "General Sun" with a smile.

However, Sun Ce's attention has been completely attracted by the horse behind her.The jujube-colored horse has a tall head that looks like a knife cut, big and lustrous eyes, sharp ears like a cut bamboo, and a broad and square nose. No matter where you look at it, it is a thousand-mile steed.Sun Ce thought that the horses in his house were top quality, but compared with this one, they were still a bit worse.

"Look, brother, how about this horse?" Yu Yu didn't notice Sun Ce's expression, and was focused on talking to Yu Huai.

"Hmm..." Yu Huai frowned slightly, "This coat looks a bit..." It doesn't match the treasure of his "wife".

Hearing the faint dislike in Yu Huai's words, Sun Ce wanted to complain about this horse.As for horses, bones are more important than shapes, Yu Huai talked about it for a long time, but he was always circling on the surface of the horse. It can be said that he didn't understand at all.Qiji's failure to meet Bole really made Sun Ce sad. After Yu Huai paused for a while and said something, he still interrupted: "Mr. Yu, if you don't like this horse, can you give up your love to Ce?"

"Eh?" Yu Huai was taken aback, "General Huaizhi is someone who understands horses, but this horse"

Sun Ce didn't deliberately conceal anything in order to get the horse, and directly told Yu Huai about the horse's excellence.At the end, he added a sentence bluntly: "Although this horse is a precious horse, but the more precious it is, the stronger its temper. I'm afraid I can't control it with my master's riding skills."

After hearing this, Yu Huai really showed displeasure: "How do you know that Huai can't control it?" As he spoke, he walked up to Yu Huai, about to take the reins from her.Seeing what Yu Huai said in Yu Huai's ear, Yu Huai's hand suddenly stopped, and after a few seconds, it hung back to its original position.He slowly turned around and looked at Sun Ce: "General Sun, do you really want to part with Huai?"

"Sir, what's wrong?" Sun Ce was stunned.Yu Huai's sudden change of mind must have something to do with Yu Huai's words just now, but her voice was soft and fast, and the street was noisy with people coming and going, no matter how good Sun Ce's martial arts were, she didn't hear a word. "Ce naturally hopes that the husband will give up his love."

"Sun Bofu, do you really want to give up your love?"

"……?nature."

"Sun Ce," Yu Huai asked, walking forward, one step at a time, already in front of Sun Ce, "Do you really hope that Jia will hand over this horse to you?"

"Brother!" Yu?w exclaimed.

On Sun Ce's handsome face, a pair of sword eyebrows were tightly frowned.He always thought that he had figured out Yu Huai's temperament before, but now he couldn't understand Yu Huai no matter what.The faint smile on the lips has completely faded away, and the dark eyes are as dark as an abyss, which is quite different from the clear eyes that were slightly curved back in the past. They are full of seriousness and... warnings?

Either because of Yu Huai's abnormality, or out of instinct, when he looked at the jujube horse led by Yu Huai again, he couldn't help feeling a little dangerous in his heart.If it was an ordinary person, since he already felt the danger, he would definitely change his mind and give up the horse.But Sun Ce's temperament, but he just wanted to go against the grain. Knowing that there was a mystery and danger in it, he also had the courage to find out.

Therefore, in the face of Yu Huai's third questioning, he raised his jaw slightly, and stared at the abyss in his eyes without avoiding it, and he was equally serious: "Mr. ?”

Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds.At this moment, Sun Ce clearly saw doubts, relaxation, sorrow, joy and all kinds of complex and contradictory emotions flashing in Yu Huai's eyes, so much so that Sun Ce began to suspect that it was his own hallucination.Suddenly, Yu Huai's tense expression suddenly relaxed, and he laughed like he could no longer collapse:

"You looked down on your riding skills. I wanted to scare you, but it failed." Yu Huai's eyes were slightly curved again as before, with a faint smile in the clear, and some teasing failed. The regret of success, "Forget it, Huai is not going to be brave, this horse Huai really can't ride. A famous horse deserves a hero, this horse should belong to the general."

When Sun Ce heard this, he also laughed.This is really like what he knows Yu Huai is capable of doing. He obviously looks elegant and romantic, but in fact he must take revenge, and he holds revenge very much. Before hunting with people, it was because he laughed casually that he couldn't even hold the bow correctly. Next For more than two hours, he insisted that he didn't catch half of the prey, and he was familiar with doing things at the expense of others.

But even if Yu Huai's explanation made perfect sense, Sun Ce still felt something was wrong, especially the last one..."Jia"?He thought that Yu Huai was not his real name, but if it was really because of the word "Jia" in his real name, how could he blurt it out when he was threatening him?

This made him more interested in the horse when he took the reins of the horse from Yu?

The fierce horse, which was still anxious to break free when Yu? He hissed again to show his obedience to the new master.

Patting the horse's head, Sun Ce turned on the horse, pulled the rein, and the horse neighed, which showed that it was really a good horse.After getting a good horse, Sun Ce felt itchy, but suddenly remembered the serious matter he was planning to ask today.

"Mr. Yu!" He turned back to his horse and shouted to Yu Huai immediately, "What did that hexagram mean on that day?"

"If the general gets Huai's horse, he won't be able to get Huai's hexagram." Yu Huai raised his head and smiled back, "Leave a suspense. When the general returns from Guangling's victory, Huai will tell the general."

"Haha! Alright! Thank you sir, we've made a deal!" After speaking, Sun Ce pulled the reins and rode away.

That horse was indeed a good one out of ten thousand. Within a moment, Sun Ce and the horse disappeared.And then disappeared, and the smile on Yu Huai's lips.

They went to the house.

"A Wu," while walking, Yu Huai opened his mouth as if chatting.The market was noisy, and it was difficult to hear the voices of the two other than the two, so there was no need to call by pseudonyms, "From what you see, is Sun Ce a hero?"

"To pacify Jiangdong, he is extremely intelligent, brave and good at fighting, of course he is a hero." Yu? w replied without thinking.

"Then, can you be called a wise master?"

"This..." Yu? , it is a common occurrence for the children of your family, and with Sun Ce's superb riding skills, riding a horse past only caused a few traders to throw their goods out of panic, and did not hurt anyone. What is this? .

Following Yu?w's gaze, Yu Huai had already read what she was thinking.He sighed lightly, and asked again: "Do you know why the horse dealer was so afraid of him just now?"

"Isn't it because the Najia people just talked about it for business?"

"Yes, but no." Yu Huai bent down and picked up the cloth roll that had rolled to his feet, and handed it to Jia Ren who was busy taking back the goods. After listening to the person's thanks and greetings, he continued to walk As he walked forward, he said: "Sun Bofu's journey from sending people under the fence, to establishing his own banner, and then to calming Jiangdong, ruling the roost, and achieving what Yuan Gonglu had been thinking for so long was beyond his reach. It was his soldiers and talents. From Yijia's point of view, it is more about his courage and courage.

In the past, no matter who it was, no matter whether it was appointed by the imperial court or occupied the land of Jiangdong by force, it was nothing but false power.In this Jiangdong land, those who really rule the roost are those big families that have lasted for many generations.Meals, popularity, gold and silver, and family education, single-picking out one is enough to restrain any outsider, let alone having all four.No one dared to touch this complicated network of relationships, except Sun Ce. "Yu Huaide's eyes gradually looked far away to the distance where Sun Ce had ridden his horse and disappeared.

"He not only dared to move, but also dared to kill. This is his courage."

That's why, Jiangdong can be unified in the hands of Sun Ce.

"But..." Yu? information, sighed softly, "It's too much to kill."

This much does not refer to everyone, but only to the famous families, those very rich and popular families in Jiangdong.In the most straightforward way, Sun Ce tore apart the complicated situation in Jiangdong and inserted his own forces.But this is also the way that leaves the most hidden dangers.No matter what the reason is for killing famous people, they have to face more potential dangers.The revenge of the disciples, the panic of the common people, the sorrow of the death of the rabbit and the fox of other big clans... This seemingly stable and unified Jiangdong, under the calm, is undercurrents.

"Jia persuaded him..." Yu Huai said softly, but Yu Huai was shocked by the content, and his eyes widened, and he played it back in his mind several times before he was sure that what he just heard was not a hallucination. "He said, if those people have that If you have the guts, you can give it a try, he can’t wait for it.”

Young hero, heroic, arrogant, talented and ambitious, Sun Ce is an extremely sharp spear, piercing into this chaotic world with the most unstoppable posture, so sharp that everyone has to respect him and avoid him.

And Zhou Yu, who is also at the prime of his life, has lost a bit of vigor and a little more of a gentle Confucian style.If he was there, Sun Ce would not have accepted the horse knowing that it might be dangerous, and he would not have just rode the horse away in the market, renewing the grievances of the already restless people.Sun Ce would not pay attention to this subtlety of kung fu, but Zhou Yu could see it clearly.

The two complement each other and bring out the best in each other, and the reputation of Jiangdong Shuangbi is famous all over the world.However, in troubled times, Zhou Yu happened not to stay with Sun Ce.

So, that's all.

"By the way, young master, which hexagram did you predict that day?"

"...The head of the 64 hexagrams, the hexagram of heavenly stems."

"Is this supposed to be the auspicious hexagram?" Following Yu Huai for so many years, even if Yu Huai hadn't studied it, he knew that the Qian hexagram was Yuan Henryzhen's auspicious hexagram.

"...Yes, Ji Gua" Yu Huai echoed with a smile, but there was a bit of unnoticeable bitterness in that smile.

Go up to Nine Shaoyang and change the line.

Kang Long has regrets.
