When Cao Cao and Cao Ren returned to Yanzhou, they happened to rest at the post station here.
This made Cao Cao, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly become gloomy and seemed to feel a touch of sadness.
"Brother, have you thought about the woman from Dunqiu County sixteen years ago?"
Cao Ren saw what Cao Cao was thinking and asked...
"I can't hide it from Zixiao..."
Cao Cao's tone was gentle. He was always free and easy, but only in this matter, he felt apologetic.
Dunqiu County means a lot to Cao Cao.
Sixteen years ago, he served as the Dunqiu Order here, issued the Ten Crimes, punished the powerful gentry, and restored the people's blue sky.
at the same time…
Here, he met a woman named Lu, who looked very much like a woman who fascinated Cao Cao.
Therefore, Cao Cao had a relationship with her, and their love was inevitable.
Cao Cao originally wanted to report her to his father and marry her, but... the Cao family was implicated in the "Queen of the Song Dynasty" case and was unable to protect himself. Cao Cao was also dismissed from office!
Out of protection for this woman, Cao Cao simply gave her a jade pendant engraved with the word "auspicious".
From then on, she never came back and temporarily cut off contact with her!
I originally planned to marry her after I achieved some success in the future, but unexpectedly, the world was in chaos again, the Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred, and the Lu family girl died in the chaos.
Few people know that Cao Cao and he once had a son who was one year older than Cao Ang. If he were still alive, he would be fifteen years old, right?
but…
Cao Cao knew very well that during riots and troubled times, the hope of a child surviving was extremely slim.
This moment is so touching...
After all, Cao Cao, who had always been displeased, couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Over the years, Miaocai and I have been looking for this child everywhere, but still found nothing... This child is probably..."
"Brother, it's better not to think too much."
Cao Ren repeatedly advised...
Among Cao Cao's clan brothers, only Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan knew about this matter.
Cao Cao even urged the two clan brothers to pay attention to the news about the child.
However, in troubled times, in the vast sea of people, it is not easy to find a child, or in other words, this child can survive?
"That's it!" Cao Cao calmed down the throbbing feeling in his heart. "Zixiao, don't sleep tonight. Let's travel under the stars and night to get back to Dongjun overnight!"
"Okay!" Cao Ren nodded. How could he not understand that the eldest brother was unwilling to be moved by the situation and felt sad.
After all, the eldest brother Cao Cao still felt sorry for the woman named Lu, and the infant child at that time.
"Da da da…"
The sound of horse hooves resounds again, and I won’t sleep tonight!
…
…
On a carriage from Xuzhou to Yanzhou.
"Brother, are you really not going to continue looking?"
A woman wearing a pale white dress asked...
Her appearance is not stunning, but she is also a rare beauty. Her elegant and refined cheeks exude a poetic and elegant temperament.
It is precisely this temperament that greatly increases a woman's charm.
She is none other than Cai Zhaoji, the most talented woman in the world.
The young man next to her called "little brother" is named Lu Yu, and he is fifteen years old this year.
Speaking of which, he was a child picked up by Cai Zhaoji when she and her father Cai Yong went to Dunqiu County in Puyang when she was five years old...
I heard that the mother of this little child died in the chaos of war...
In troubled times, human life is like grass. Who would care about an infant child except as food ration?
Fortunately, I met the kind-hearted Cai Zhaoji...
She picked up the child and asked her father Cai Yong to take him in.
After fifteen years of care and attention, this little guy has gradually grown up. He has a wooden plaque on his body that records his birth date and his name - Lu Yu!
In addition, there was a jade pendant that Cai Zhaoji hung around his neck, with the word "auspicious" written on it!
"Sister Zhaoji, I'm not looking anymore. I haven't found him for five years. It's possible that my father can't be found."
Lu Yu pursed his lips, puffed out his cheeks... and replied casually.
actually…
Lu Yu did not belong to this era. He came from time to time. In his previous life, he was a graduate student in the history department. He participated in the most powerful brain. Because of his amazing memory, he was once known as the "Brain King"!
Who would have thought that when he traveled back in time, he would be a one-year-old baby. His own mother died in front of him, and he was helpless. Even he... was about to be buried in the chaos of war.
Thanks to a beautiful young lady, he saved his life...
Later I found out that this young lady is the world-famous tragic and talented girl Cai Zhaoji!
In order to thank her, and to avoid her fate of "playing the harp and pipa", "playing the flute beyond the Great Wall", and being "suffering from the snow", when Lu Yu was ten years old, he pestered Cai Zhaoji to accompany him south to find his father.
Cai Zhaoji couldn't defeat this little brother...
He had no choice but to leave Luoyang and take Lu Yu to Xuzhou.
It is precisely because of this that we avoided Dong Zhuo's disaster in Kyoto and the Huns' plundering southward...
"I haven't found my father for more than five years, which caused Sister Zhaoji to sleep in the open. Sister, you won't blame me, right?"
Lu Yu put his head in front of Cai Zhaoji, and the unique friendly words between siblings rang out.
"Sleeping in the open?" Cai Zhaoji waved her hand gently. "Where did we sleep in the open?"
"With your smart head, and your incredible insight and judgment, wherever we go, whether it is the county magistrate, the county governor, or the state shepherd, we are all warmly welcomed, with gifts of food, and plates of food...
"
"What they want is just the 'revealing secrets' words from your mouth!"
"Do you know what everyone in the world calls you?"
"What?" Lu Yu asked curiously.
In fact, he knows everything, but...he is willing to listen to Sister Zhaoji.
"First some people called you 'Youlin', and then others changed it to 'Yinlin'. The Yuedan Commentary even proposed that - those who get 'Yinlin' can end the troubled times and dominate the world!"
Cai Zhaoji looked at Lu Yu and said with a smile, "Brother Lu Yu is only fifteen years old, but his name is resounding enough..."
"This journey to find my father sounds like a journey through thorns and thorns. In fact, it's just a trip between us siblings. It doesn't feel like sleeping in the open air at all."
"It's just a pity that after more than five years, your father is still not found."
hehe…
Hearing this, Lu Yu said "hehe".
Is it important to find that scumbag’s “cheap dad”?
Not important at all!
He just made up an excuse to lead Sister Zhaoji out of Luoyang, a place of right and wrong!
Among Lu Yu's few memories of his biological mother, he only knew that his mother's surname was Lu, and he took his mother's surname.
As for the reason...
It's because fifteen years ago, the "scumbag" father whose mother didn't want to reveal his name never came back!
Except for the jade pendant engraved with the word "Auspicious" on his chest, Lu Yu knew nothing about the so-called scumbag father!
The reason why he persisted in looking for him was because Lu Yu thought that this kind of scumbag must be punished!
For the sake of my mother, and for myself who was almost killed in the chaos of war, I want to vent my anger!
"Look for it slowly...As long as Sister Zhaoji is with me, I will find it sooner or later!"
Seeing Lu Yu talk like this...
Cai Zhaoji also fell into deep thought...
She always obeyed this little brother's words.
It seems...he is wise beyond his years!
His judgment on the development of the world's situation... is as accurate as a "monster"!
Especially after Dong Zhuo burned down Luoyang and King Zuoxian of the Southern Huns took advantage of the situation to plunder and kidnap many women from Luoyang City to the Huns...
Cai Zhaoji no longer just "obedient" to Lu Yu, but even became "attached"!
She couldn't imagine that if her brother Lu Yu hadn't pestered her to go south to find her relatives, would Cai Zhaoji have become one of the poor women abducted by the Southern Huns?
Beyond the Great Wall, Hu Di!
Cai Zhaoji had read in books that the Hu people would imprison Han women in sheep pens and use them as reproductive tools, and they would ravage and wreak havoc on them!
Is it possible that these miserable abducted women will never return to the Central Plains?
Every time she thought of this, Cai Zhaoji felt a sense of fear in her heart.
Even her eyes were full of tears, and it was precisely because of this that no matter how old she was, Cai Zhaoji always listened to her younger brother Lu Yu.
And this younger brother’s judgment of the current situation is, so far, completely correct...
Thinking of this...
Cai Zhaoji continued to ask, "Brother, why did you give up searching for your relatives this time and insist on returning to Yanzhou? Could it be that in today's troubled times... is Yanzhou safer than Xuzhou?"
