Master book fish farming these years [Three Kingdoms]

Summer is gradually approaching in May, and there is more rain.

The sky has been shrouded in dark clouds since the afternoon, but fortunately Ruan Qing is on duty today, staying in the front yard, and she is not worried about getting drenched if she didn't bring rain gear.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, under a courtyard wall, Yuan Qing was wearing a dark red valet's attire, and arranged for a young servant, "The Prime Minister has an order to invite Master Ruan to come here at Xu time today, to discuss important matters."

The boy nodded.

Ruan Qing was a light sleeper and had trouble falling asleep, so he went to bed very late.After nightfall, he searched for various materials on the bookshelf in the room, trying to restore all the new books that Cao Cao had burned.

He has re-transcribed the handwriting that can still be seen, and compiled it by himself, but part of it is still missing.

But he always believed that Cao Cao always left some materials that he had used, but they were just collected in a corner.As long as he can turn it out, he can repair and perfect it again.

The silent night was broken by a sudden knock on the door.

The servant who came in bowed his head and said respectfully, "Prime Minister, please come over to discuss important matters."

A gust of night wind rushed in along the open door, causing the lights to flicker, making Ruan Qing's shadow on the wall sway.

Ruan Qing wondered why Cao Cao summoned him at night, but fearing that it was an emergency, she put down her pen and moved the lamp to the side of the desk to prevent the oil from falling on the scroll, she got up and said, "Okay, I'll go one trip."

The stars and the moon tonight are covered by dark clouds, and the street between the two walls is pitch black.Ruan Qing carried a copper lamp and walked quickly in the alley.

The Prime Minister's Mansion occupies a large area, and after walking for a while, he entered the academy that Cao Cao usually used.

There were two people standing guard outside the courtyard. When they saw Ruan Qing walking in, they remembered Yuan Qing's instructions and did not stop them.

Ruan Qing entered the yard unimpeded, and saw that the main house was lit, and the orange light came out from the window lattice, casting faintly on the stone steps under the porch outside the house.

He took a few steps up the low steps, stopped at the door and was about to knock, but when he heard a faint movement from inside the room, the hand that was about to knock stopped.

The sound insulation effect of the house was good, but it was too quiet in the courtyard at night, so the movement in the house faintly escaped through the cracks and entered his ears.

He heard the crisp sound of skin colliding, Yuan Qing's emotional moans and soft voice calling 'Prime Minister' over and over again.

The hand that was lifting to knock on the door fell silently after all, the palm of the hand holding the copper lamp kept tightening, the bones of the hand appeared faintly, and the joints were frighteningly blue and white.

He stood at the door and listened for a while, his eyes were blank and dazed. After a long while, he smiled wryly, and lowered his head powerlessly.

My lord, so your so-called important thing is to let Qing know about it...

His heart seemed to be sore, and it seemed to be in pain, as if he had been torn in half, and then gradually cooled down.

At this time, he admired himself a little, that he didn't make a big fuss.

After descending the steps, he stopped when he reached the gate of the courtyard. He said softly, "You don't need to let the prime minister know, I've been here tonight."

The guards did not answer him, and he was not obsessed with asking for an answer, so he walked up the road when he came, holding a slightly extinguished lamp.

He was like a ghost, his eyes were dull and empty, his eyes were blackened, he couldn't see the road clearly, he just walked forward blankly according to his usual habits.

Suddenly, the toes seemed to hit something, and the whole person fell forward to the ground.

The copper lamp made a piercing sound on the ground, the only flame was extinguished, and the whole alley was dark again, as silent as death.

There was a rumbling thunder in the sky, and a flash of lightning illuminated Xuchang city brightly in an instant.Then a drop of something cold fell on Ruan Qing's face.

He touched it, raised his head, and looked at the lightless night, the cold water droplets gradually fell densely, crackling and falling on the tiles, and finally turned into a torrential rain.

Ruan Qing pulled her lips stiffly, but finally failed.

He clutched his chest, fell on the ground, and wept bitterly amidst the noise of the rain.

Why, he had already forced himself to accept Yuan Qing as Cao Cao's close servant, and he also let himself get used to not being able to be by Cao Cao's side any longer.

But why did Cao Cao touch Yuan Qing?

He doesn't insist on anything anymore, he has made himself more tolerant, he can accept Yuan Qing as Cao Cao's close servant, and he can also accept that Cao Cao has countless wives, concubines and heirs.

He only wanted Yuan Qing to be Cao Cao's valet.But why didn't even this last request satisfy him?

No wonder Cao Cao became more and more alienated from him, no wonder Cao Cao no longer accepted any closeness from him, and no longer accepted any pleasure from him. It turned out that Cao Cao didn't need him a long time ago.

So what is he now?What are those pleasing thoughts before?

It was Cao Cao who made him fall in love with him with his irresistible strength, but then pulled away when he was in deep trouble, leaving him alone, struggling like a clown.

The soreness of the cheeks that had been opened for panting and crying was unbearable.Every bone seems to be creaking.

The stomach was churning with acid from the intense grief, as if it was going to be vomited down the esophagus.

His eyes were red, his lips were trembling uncontrollably, and the saliva gushed out of his mouth almost uncontrollably like an epileptic seizure, hanging sticky around his lips, dripping sparsely.

Ruan Qing's eyes were a little hollow.He stared straight at one place, grinning but couldn't make any laughter, he could only hold his cheeks stiffly, and muttered to himself almost obsessively, "I only want you not to touch him, my lord, I only want you Don't touch him..."

The voice he just heard reverberated in his mind like a nightmare. He turned sideways, like a camel crushed by the last straw, and lay on his back on the ground, letting the rain wash away.

The dense and bean-sized raindrops hit him almost out of breath.

Eyes that were too wet to open could only be narrowed with difficulty.In a daze, I saw the falling raindrops pointing at him like cold knives, attacking him overwhelmingly.

Why is he not dead yet...

His limbs were stretched out weakly, and his mind was a little chaotic and desperate, thinking about why he was still alive.

Why did he work so hard all these years to come back?

Struggling to fight against the gods, and for what...

He probably should have died.

The corners of his eyes were hot, but his cheeks were cold, and the tears mixed with the rain, he didn't know if he was crying or not.

His eyes were closed, his vision was already dim, but now it was even darker, without any light.

As if resigning himself to his fate, with his dry voice that could hardly make any sound, he said in a toneless voice, "It turns out...you don't need me for a long time...well, that's okay...that's okay, at least, You told me yourself..."

Ruan Qing felt that her thoughts seemed to be floating outside her body.

His body gradually became colder, and the throbbing part of his chest gradually became weaker from the intense throbbing back to Xuchang at the beginning, and finally fell into complete silence after he was pulled hard just now, only once more intensely. Become thoroughly cold.

It seems to be buried in the snowdrifts of the Tianshan Mountains, cracked by the freezing, buried under the white snow all year round, and will never see the sun again.

The door was pushed open roughly, and he staggered into the room. After closing the door, he slowly slid down against the door and sat on the ground. After a while, he noticed the burning oil lamp on the desk.

He brought the brazier in the corner, lit the fire, and threw in the new book that he had compiled with great painstaking effort.

The dry bamboo slips burned quickly in the flames, making a crackling sound.

He stared in a daze, the bright light fell on his wet body, looking like a beggar.

These were the things that he had rescued from the fire with his own hands with the pain, and now he finally threw them into the fire again with his own hands.

Looking at the bamboo slips that were engulfed by the flames, he laughed like weeping, his bright eyes reflected by the flames were dry and desolate.

It turned out that it really couldn't be repaired.

Some things, once broken, will never be restored no matter how hard we try.

Ruan Qing vaguely heard that there was something in the chest, and there was a clear and broken sound.

On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty canonized Cao Cao as the Duke of Wei, added Jiuxi, established the State of Wei, and established Yecheng as its capital.Wei Guo owns the land of ten counties in Jizhou, with prime ministers, Taiwei, and generals.

Yecheng was originally the capital of Yuan Shao, and there were a large number of palace buildings, so there was not much construction work, and only minor changes were needed.

The emperor married Cao Cao's three daughters, and the construction of Cao's shrine and ancestral temple began in Yecheng.

Jinhu Terrace rose from the ground in Yecheng.Canals were dug to lead Zhangshui into Baigou to connect with the Yellow River.

Weijun was divided into two parts, east and west, and set up a captain.Official positions such as Shangshu, Shizhong, and Liuqing began to be set up in the bureaucracy of Yecheng.

The center of power is gradually shifting to Yecheng.

Before Ruan Qing moved to Yecheng with Cao Cao, she went to see Mrs. Ding.

"I didn't expect you to come again." Mrs. Ding said

There are maidservants standing in the room, but there are few voices and no sound can be heard.

Mrs. Ding's clothes were still plain and plain, and the whole house seemed to be sleeping peacefully alone in the world of mortals, with no laughter or laughter heard for a moment.

Ruan Qing sat on the brocade seat below and said, "I miss my old friend, so I came here to visit."

They all understood that this old man was referring to Cao Ang.

Mrs. Ding looked at Ruan Qing's gloomy eyebrows, and said bluntly, "You don't seem to be living happily."

Suddenly she seemed to think of something, "I heard that Cao Aman has taken in a handsome young man and keeps him with him every day. Tell the juniors of the Ding family who are beside Cao Zijian that his name is Yuan Qing."

Ruan Qing smiled bitterly, "Yes."

Seeing Ruan Qing's appearance, Mrs. Ding was silent for a moment, and said, "Before I lived in the back house for a long time, you and I rarely saw each other. But every time Cao Cao came back, he would mention you inadvertently, with a joy that he didn't even notice.

When you moved to Ruan Mansion in Xuchang, he asked me to handle the affairs of your mansion with my own hands.I went through it myself before sending it to you.

I have never seen Cao Aman be so attached to a person. Madam Ding sighed.

Hearing this, Ruan Qing didn't feel any relief, nor did she feel heart-piercing pain, her heart was just filled with a touch of futility, that's all.

He smiled wryly, "But no matter how much he cares, it's just that he likes one of them."

"You've been with him all these years, I thought you'd already seen it through."

Mrs. Ding was a little surprised, but her expression soon returned to indifference, thinking that she had let go of the past, and now she can talk freely.

"He has always had great ideas, passionate and fickle, generous and suspicious, and he is destined not to stay with one person forever."

"Qing knows." Ruan Qing let out a long sigh, with a somewhat self-deprecating tone, "But I am unwilling."

But there is nothing he can do, he can only end up in the current situation where he is torturing himself.

"You probably don't know." Because of pity, Mrs. Ding, who lost her son in the early years, looked at Ruan Qing with more kindness from the elders to the younger generation, "Cao Cao and I have known each other since we were young, and grew up together. In the end, it’s nothing more than that.”

Ruan Qing seemed to understand what Mrs. Ding wanted to say. He looked at the other party and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute.

Compared with Mrs. Ding's years, the time he spent with Cao Cao is nothing worth mentioning.

"Let go." Mrs. Ding looked at Ruan Qing gently, "None of us can compare with Cao Aman. Whether it is long-term or ruthless. He taught you a lesson, and what you repay him is far more than what he gave. You have much more."

Ruan Qing's hands clenched into fists hidden in her sleeves trembled, and then let go, unable to laugh at herself twice, she closed her eyes and muttered to herself, "Yeah, when the time comes, it's time to let go."

He raised his eyelids again, and there was a desolate silence in his gentle brown pupils.

"Qing is going to Yecheng with Duke Wei. If there are no accidents, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to Xuchang in the future." He said solemnly and respectfully, "I hope Madam will take care of herself in the future."

Mrs. Ding nodded, "You are the same. If you are not good, I'm afraid Zixiu won't feel at ease."

Ruan Qing moved to Yecheng with Cao Cao and Baiguan.His office was also changed to the palace of Wei State.

Only a few guards were left in the Ruan Mansion in Xuchang, and the rest were transferred to his mansion in Yecheng.

He called the steward over.

"Sir." The steward said.

Ruan Qing was lazily fiddling with the scorched leaves from the peach tree picked up from the ground, and heard the steward's voice, so she said, "Send the order, let everyone in the mansion disperse."

"Huh?" The steward didn't understand the meaning of the words.

So Ruan Qing explained again, "From now on, the mansion will no longer use you, you can go back wherever you came from."

"Sir." The steward knelt down on the ground with a thud, and was about to explain something, but was interrupted by Ruan Qing.

Ruan Qing patted the dust on her palm, looked at the other party lightly, her eyes were as clear and cold as glass, and her whole body was indifferent, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't want to hear it. Tomorrow, don't let me see anyone in the house. figure."

After finishing speaking, he paused, and then said, "That's it, you go and do your work." Turning around, he left slowly without giving the manager any chance to speak.

He knew that these people were allotted to him by Cao Cao, and that nothing in his house could escape Cao Cao's eyes.

But now, he didn't want to continue coaxing Cao Cao anymore.He wants to be alone and have a place to rest.No one is watching.

The news that Ruan Qing was going to drive her away quickly spread throughout the mansion.

When he was sitting on the railing in the corridor wiping the weapon, Jin Niang came out from nowhere and knelt down in front of him, looking at him with tears in her eyes.

Ruan Qing understood in her heart and said, "No need to say anything, just go back and pack your things."

"Sir." Jin Niang wanted to say something more, but Ruan Qing had already got up and left.

With tears in her eyes, she watched Ruan Qing stepping across the golden ground and disappearing on the path.

After a night of silence, when Ruan Qing opened the door of the dormitory the next day, she saw Jinniang kneeling on the long steps outside the door.

Ruan Qing frowned slightly, "Didn't the steward tell you that it's time to leave the house completely today?"

"Sir." Jin Niang raised her head and pleaded with Ruan Qing, "Let the slaves stay and take care of Mr. Mr. will drive away all the servants, who will serve Mr. in the future."

"Did the steward tell you the words?" Ruan Qing leaned on the door frame, folded her arms across her chest, and stared at Jinniang lightly, "You should leave today."

"Say it." Jinniang flinched, facing Ruan Qing's cold, almost icy gaze, and whispered, "But this servant loves Mr.. Mr. is busy with official duties every day, so how can it be okay if no one takes care of you."

"It turns out that my words have no weight in your eyes." Ruan Qing sneered.

"No." Jin Niang raised her head in panic and explained, "Slave, this slave is just reluctant to part with Mr."

"Do you like me?" Ruan Qing tilted her head and asked with a rather innocent expression.

Jinniang blushed immediately, lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, "I don't dare."

"Why don't you dare?" Ruan Qing's right fingertips moved slightly, and a long knife with a cold air appeared in his hand.

He went down the steps step by step and came to Jinniang.

Jinniang kept her head lowered, looking at a pair of brocade shoes that suddenly appeared in front of her, secretly delighted in her heart, and whispered, "Sir." Just as she was about to raise her head, a icicle caught her neck unexpectedly.

"Sir..." Jinniang's eyes widened immediately, her whole body froze, and she turned her eyes to look at Ruan Qing.

Ruan Qing was tall and tall, her expression was as cold as ice, and her pair of brown deer pupils stared at her indifferently, without any emotion.

"First..." Before Jinniang's call was finished, Ruan Qing started to move, a cold light flashed, a deep wound was drawn on her slender neck, blood spattered, and the life that was still fresh just now became soft. Limp on the ground lifeless, only his widened eyes were full of disbelief.

Beads of blood rolled down the blade and dripped onto the ground, leaving no blood on the blade.

Ruan Qing grabbed Jinniang's collar and dragged her away step by step, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

He stopped by the running pond in the garden and threw the body down.

When he looked up, he saw a young boy carrying a burden staring blankly at him by the opposite wall.

Seeing that Ruan Qing saw him, the servant hurriedly explained, "The villain is leaving now." Then he left quickly.

At night, Ruan Qing was suddenly awakened from her sleep.It was dark and silent all around, and he could only hear his own heartbeat. After a moment of daze, he buried himself in the brocade quilt and wept bitterly.

He didn't know how many times, he dreamed of the years when everyone was struggling together.

He saw a large piece of green chestnut wheat in the field under the bright sunshine of March.

Together with Cao Ang, he recited a passage in the historical records in unison with the chirping of magpies on the trees in the airy hall.His mouth was dry from reading, so he lowered his voice, turned his head to look at the birds on the tree, and suddenly found Cao Cao in the old clothes standing with his hands behind his back in the promenade opposite, looking at him with a smile on his face from across the small courtyard. be lazy.

Then he woke up.

If he had never left Cao Cao's side, would he still have a chance to smell the fragrance of wheat in spring in his memory?

Cao Cao sent troops to Xiliang in the past, but failed to completely eradicate Ma Chao's power.The news of Ma Chao's rebellion came again, saying that in Hanyang County, relying on the Qiang people to cause rebellion, tens of thousands of Di people also raised troops to respond and set up troops to rejuvenate the country.

Cao Cao sent someone to pass Ruan Qing over.

Ruan Qing didn't want to see Cao Cao.

After meeting Mrs. Ding, he made up his mind to put Cao Cao down.

But his thoughts don't seem to be his own, and he still stays on Cao Cao uncontrollably, paying attention to any actions of Cao Cao.He hated himself for not living up to expectations, and even more for his powerlessness.

I took the note I had just drawn up and went to see Cao Cao.

The royal palace in Yecheng is more than twice as large as the prime minister's mansion in Xuchang.The yard where he works is far away from Cao Cao Academy.

The towering high walls, the cold wind whistling through the endless long street, whistling in the ears, like the sound of endless gold and iron horses in this world, the sound of undercurrents surging.

He sometimes feels like a rootless duckweed, occasionally floating on the calm lake, but the turbulent undercurrent hidden in the abyss below always engulfs him. He seems to have nothing to do with this place, but he is helplessly manipulated to go.

Kneeling in the middle of the empty and cold hall, with the crisp sound of chess pieces falling on the board, Cao Cao's majestic and somewhat indifferent voice sounded from the steps, very far away, as if from another end of the world.

"I heard that a servant died in your house."

really.Ruan Qing thought, nothing can be hidden.

He sighed secretly, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and didn't want any answer.

"Yes."

Cao Cao waited for a long time, but Ruan Qing never spoke again.I was a little anxious for no reason.

He needs an explanation from Ruan Qing, so that he can silence everyone.

"The reason." Cao Cao's voice sounded again.

Ruan Qing opened her mouth, but the words were swallowed back again.

It's not necessary anymore.Anyway, no matter what he said, Cao Cao had his own ideas in mind.Why should he talk nonsense.

"Ruan Qing." Cao Cao was a little annoyed, and threw a few chess pieces back into the chess box, "Give Gu a reason."

"There is no reason." Ruan Qing kept looking down at the gap between the waxed floors, and said lightly, "Qing doesn't like her, that's all."

"You have never killed innocent people at will." Cao Cao put his elbows on his knees, bent slightly and looked sideways, staring deeply at Ruan Qing, his voice was a little low, "Mu'er, that servant girl is not a slave, if his family makes a fuss When you wake up, what should you do? Why did you kill her for no reason? "

'Then why do you have to send the person you picked out to my house! Don't you believe me like that!'

Ruan Qing's mind suddenly came up with this questioning question.

He wanted to thicken his neck and yell at Cao Cao at the top of his voice.

But what's the use of asking...

Also, what's the use...

He just wanted to have a place to rest.

He had already informed Jinniang in advance.It was she who refused to leave.

I don't even look down on him... I don't take what he said seriously...

He smiled wryly in his heart.People are like deflated balloons, their anger and unwillingness all soften.

That's it, that's it.

Life is not easy, so why have to favor anyone.

admit it.Ruan Qing.

"So does Qing need to pay for his life?" Ruan Qing finally raised his head, his eyes were cold, but he smiled ironically. He opened his arms and his voice was a little hoarse. Take your life."

"Mu Er." Cao Cao slapped the table, the chess piece shook, and he said loudly, "You know Gu didn't mean that."

"It's rare for Qing to see Duke Wei. I don't want to. I just talk about these disappointing things." Ruan Qing murmured, took the bag out of her wide sleeves, and raised her hands above her head, "You have something to report."

According to the normal process, it would take some time to deliver it to Cao Cao, so it is better to take advantage of this time and submit it directly.

Yuan Qing, who was sitting opposite Cao Cao, hurriedly put down the chess piece in his hand, hurriedly descended the steps, bent down to take it from Ruan Qing's hand, and bowed down to present it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao glanced roughly, sat upright, faced Ruan Qing, raised the scroll of bamboo slips and said, "Have you made up your mind, are you really going to Xiliang?"

Ruan Qing always wanted to go out for a walk, and she didn't want to stay in this extremely cramped palace.

When the news of Ma Chao's rebellion came, he realized that this was an opportunity for him to escape from Cao Cao's side.

He is really tired.Wanting to escape from Cao Cao's side, he brushed away his complicated thoughts.He wanted to avoid Cao Cao and get rid of those thoughts that shouldn't exist.

"Yes." Ruan Qing said, "Qing has lived in Xiliang for a long time and is familiar with the local conditions. Please help Duke Wei."

Cao Cao looked at Ruan Qing and remained silent for a long time.

The other party didn't speak, and Ruan Qing didn't speak either.Just when he thought the other party would not agree, Cao Cao finally said, "Okay."

Cao Cao held the tail of the bamboo slips in one hand, and rolled up the head end in the other hand, the bamboo slips kept rotating and rubbing in the palm of his hand.

He said slowly, as if he was thinking while saying, "Your Majesty Gu Shangzuo, I will make you the governor of Pingxi, and I will allocate 2 troops to you. Xiahouyuan stationed troops in Chang'an to deter Xiliang. He has [-] troops in his hands, and you will dispatch them as well." .Chaowenwu, you can choose, what you need, write a list and hand it to Gu here. Wherever you go, every gate is guarded, and they all follow your orders."

"There are more." Cao Cao seemed to think of something again, holding a bamboo slip and pointed at him from the air, and said, "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, I will send you 5000 horses and horses as guards, and they will be at your side on weekdays."

At this moment, Cao Cao is like an elder who loves his sons and daughters who are on the road. He wants to arrange everything well, and he can't wait to pave a broad road directly.

Ruan Qing understood.Cao Cao didn't ask him to be Xia Houyuan's lieutenant general.Instead, let him be the coach of the first army.

There wasn't much emotional fluctuation, and he didn't even lift his eyelids. He just kowtowed and said, "Your heart is so determined, you will completely wipe out Xiliang for Duke Wei, and you will live up to your orders."

"When do you want to leave?" Cao Cao asked.

Ruan Qing said, "Ma Chao summoned the Qiang people, and they can be eradicated quickly before the situation becomes overwhelming. The sooner the date of dispatching troops, the better."

"Okay." Cao Cao said, "I ordered you to go down and order all the ministries to prepare as soon as possible. I will issue an order to you tomorrow, and the next day we will dispatch troops to the west of the city."

"Yes." Ruan Qing said.

Cao Cao looked at Ruan Qing silently for a long time, then softened his tone and said, "Come back safely."

"Yes." Ruan Qing said, "Your resignation."

"Go." Cao Cao sighed with emotion, "Go and prepare."

Ruan Qing stepped back and disappeared outside the main hall door.

Yuan Qing looked at Cao Cao holding Ruan Qing's bamboo slips tightly with his head down, and said with a smile, "There are so many capable warriors in the court, since Duke Wei is so reluctant to leave Master Ruan, why must he appoint Master Ruan to lead the army?"

Cao Cao looked sideways at Yuan Qing coldly.

Yuan Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The villain talks too much."

Cao Cao looked out of the window and sighed, thinking that Yuan Qing didn't know his plan, so he whispered, "You don't understand, he needs some meritorious officials to accompany him."

Yuan Qing thought of Cao Cao's reuse of Ruan Qing that he had heard before, and listened to what Cao Cao said now, and he was even more convinced of Cao Cao's future plans for Ruan Qing.

He kowtowed all the time, his face was covered by shadows, his eyes rolled, as if he was thinking about something.

The author has something to say:

Let's just say, exciting, everyone.
