Chapter 92: Immortal Lu, can't you scare people to death?
Xiapi City, shrouded in dusk, seemed particularly quiet.
If it hadn't been for a brutal fight that had just happened during the day, the picture-like scenery in front of us would still be quite artistic.
During the daytime fighting, the blood of soldiers on both sides of the bridge stained the streets and alleys of the city red.
Especially in the section near the city gate where the tug of war lasted the longest and the fighting was the most intense, broken corpses were piled high, various human body parts, and organs were hung high on the roof, on the window edges...
According to the civilians cleaning up the battlefield, many people witnessed the hell-like tragic scene there. Even if a dozen people rolled their eyes and fainted, most of the remaining people almost died.
The bile was vomited out.
When Liu Bei left the Prefecture Mufu, he happened to hear some people talking about it, and he went to the West City Gate to check out the situation there.
When Liu Bei arrived,
The gates of the city and the streets and alleys had already been cleaned, leaving only dried purple-black blood stains, silently telling the story of the tragic situation at that time.
After watching the streets that were almost stained and listening to the vivid descriptions of several people who claimed to have "witnessed" the fighting at the scene, the three brothers Liu Bei returned to their own homes in silence with a heightened fear of Cao Jun.
's residence.
Cao Cao occupied Cao Bao's former mansion. As one of the top aristocratic families in the area, his residence was no worse than Cao Cao's Taiwei Mansion.
When he was in Wancheng, he almost suffered a catastrophe because of the "Aunt Incident". That experience left an indelible psychological shadow on Cao Cao's heart.
However, thanks to the "aunt incident", Cao Cao has always followed Lu Yan's instructions and never dares to spend the night with a woman outside again.
After being busy until about midnight, Cao Cao dragged his tired body back to his bedroom.
light candles,
Take a sip of wine,
Throwing a few peanuts into his mouth, Cao Cao closed his eyes and showed an expression of great enjoyment, "After a tiring day, I can finally have a good rest...".
"Crack, click, click..." Cao Cao chewed the peanuts and exclaimed: "Fragrant! Crispy! This gadget made by Mr. Lu is really good. I'll go back to him and order more."
Cao Cao sighed with emotion, and his hands were not idle either.
Cao Cao took out the Diary of Heaven's Path and Destiny from his arms, and was ready to see what interesting things in life the Great Immortal of Lu had recorded today.
After all, important things don't happen every day. Most of Lu Yan's diary is just trivial and interesting things that happened around him.
[In the first year of Jian'an, at the end of May, Xi Zhicai was critically ill!]
"uh-huh!"
Boss Cao just threw a peanut into his mouth, when he suddenly saw this shocking sentence, he took a deep breath, and the peanut went directly into his trachea, choking him.
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough cough!!!"
After a violent cough that lasted for several breaths,
Boss Cao finally coughed up the peanuts from his trachea, but regardless of his own discomfort, he picked up the diary that had been closed again after it fell on the table.
"Before I left Xuchang, Zhicai was only dizzy and weak. How long had it passed before he was already critically ill?" Cao Cao still couldn't believe it. His heartbeat began to accelerate slowly, and his blood began to rise.
Surge!
Xi Zhicai can be said to be one of the counselors who has followed Cao Cao for the longest time and is most trusted by Cao Cao, besides Lu Yan and Xun Yu.
In the past, before Xi Zhicai became ill, every time Cao Cao sent troops to fight, Xi Zhicai must be his mastermind.
"Zhicai! Zhicai! It hurts me so much!!!" After a long time, Cao Cao couldn't help but his eyes began to turn red.
At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly remembered the way Lu Yan hurriedly returned after bidding farewell to Lu Bu's family in Taishan County, "It turns out that Zhicai's condition was not optimistic at that time.
The husband must not have wanted to distract me, so he didn’t tell me about Zhicai’s condition and just hurried back to Xuchang by himself..."
Cao Cao started trembling, not daring to open the diary. He was afraid that when he opened it, he would see the sad news that Xi Zhicai passed away...
"But sir, he has good medical skills and various miraculous medicines. Is it possible that he can cure Zhicai?" After Cao Cao comforted himself for a while, he finally opened the diary and started reading it again.
[I drained all my medical knowledge but could not save Zhicai’s life...Watching a friend wither and wither, I deeply felt my helplessness and incompetence...]
"Pap..."
The diary fell on the table again. This time, Cao Cao did not cry out in pain, but let the tears in his eyes slide across his cheeks, collect from the tiger's whiskers, and drip on the back of his hands.
"Why can't even an immortal like Mr. Lu prevent Zhicai's death? That's right... Mr. Lu has not yet become a real immortal..."
Cao Cao felt that he had become numb.
After taking a deep breath, he didn't wipe the tears on his face and looked down.
[But fortunately, the road is endless...Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor who has been looking for several years, actually came to Xuchang at this time!]
"Gah!"
The tears on Boss Cao's face seemed to have frozen, and his breathing began to become heavy, and he began to read ten lines at a time, quickly browsing the content behind it.
[I have to say that Hua Tuo is worthy of the title of miracle doctor!]
[He actually had a way to pull the exhausted Xi Zhicai out of the gate of hell bit by bit! 】
"Can't you, Great Immortal Lu, finish writing your words in one go?" Cao Cao suddenly felt that his feelings had been deceived...
After a long time, Cao Cao, who felt that he was alive again, wiped away the tears that were about to dry up on his face, then reluctantly showed a smile and said: "Lu Yan, Wori, you are an immortal!"
[The eldest lady is gone, and I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable...]
"Deserve it!"
"It's your own fault!"
As if to avenge Lu Yan for frightening him, Cao Cao saw Lu Yan feeling uncomfortable and immediately felt much better.
[There has been a lot of activity from the little emperor's side recently, and he has even sent me several secret summonses. Could it be that he wants to take advantage of Boss Cao's Eastern Expedition to start issuing a dress edict? 】
"Huh?" The diary was coming to an end, and Cao Cao finally saw another hint of "secret".
Cao Cao frowned and stared at this sentence for a long time, unwilling to move his eyes: "The clothing and belt edict? Is it directed at me?"
After learning the previous lesson, Cao Cao decided to read more and think more about it.
"Sure enough, Mr. Lu, this is just speculation. It seems that there is still some time before the Clothes Edict will occur in history."
"Emperor, you are indeed suspicious of me!"
"Clothes and belt edict? Haha!"
"Yuan Rang..." Lu Yan's words made Cao Cao wary. He decided to send someone to warn Xiahou Dun early tomorrow morning, telling him not to take Ji Ling lightly.
