The next morning, oh~ the scorching sun was high and shining on the earth.
Cao Cao blinked and woke up. He felt a little short of breath. When he looked down, Yun Niang was wrapped around him like an octopus.
My heart moved slightly. According to Lao Cao's experience, a woman's true love for you should not be underestimated during the good times. At that time, some people are passionate, some are cold, some are generous and heroic, some smile silently...it's just that their natures are different. What is the true meaning of love? You can only see the true meaning after you are happy - the one who is impatient to take a bath, the one who is lingering, the one who sleeps alone in a corner, and the one who hangs on you like a koala, are often the inner emotions. Subconscious refraction.
He couldn't help but kiss Yun Niang's smooth forehead.
Yun Niang blinked and woke up. The two of them looked at each other. Yun Niang thought about all the obsessive behavior last night, she felt shy and turned away quickly.
Cao Cao glanced at the sky and saw that it was already late, so he couldn't help but get anxious. However, at such a moment, he couldn't be too ruthless, so he hugged Yun Niang for the time being, and after a moment of tenderness, she became much gentler.
Yun Niang leaned into his arms and whispered: "Brother, do you still think I look like lotus, chrysanthemum, and plum blossoms?"
According to Lao Cao's experience, once a man and a woman have friendship on the kang, the first few words after waking up are crucial.
Fortunately, Cao Cao was not only a warrior but also the leader of the warriors (tribute to Ai Re). How could he go wrong with such details? Smiling sincerely: "What I said yesterday was just one side of a flower. Flowers are just like people, but there is more than one side. For example, although the lotus is cold, it is also charming; although the chrysanthemum is static, it is also graceful and graceful; although the plum blossom is quiet, it is also graceful. You are gentle and affectionate, you are no different from these flowers."
Yun Niang was moved by this and hugged Cao Cao tightly.
After another hour, Cao Cao was dressed neatly and came downstairs with a jar of "Yiqingzui" in his arms. He saw Shi Xiu drinking tea and waiting downstairs. He was drinking and laughing by himself, looking like he was having endless aftertaste. Cao Cao walked up to him. After coughing, Shi Xiu realized it and quickly stood up and said: "Ah, brother is up!"
Cao Cao looked up and down and saw that his face was radiant, as if he had opened up the two channels of Ren and Governor. He smiled and said: "Since you are enjoying yourself, I will go there later."
After saying that, she led Shi Xiu out. Shi Xiu looked back frequently, and from time to time, the sound of windows opening could be heard upstairs in Yiqing.
The two of them went straight to the government office. On the way, they passed an old shop selling soup cakes. The aroma came, and Cao Cao felt hungry. He pulled Shi Xiu into the shop and sat down. He asked the boss to make two servings of soup with enough ingredients. The soup cakes come.
Jiangzhou soup cake is different from Shandong, but it is made of fresh fish as the soup base, with minced fat mutton and sprinkled with green garlic. It is extremely fragrant. After eating it in one go, the two of them felt that their whole bodies were well. Cao Cao He touched his chest and said, "I only brought two gold ingots. I used them in Yiqing Building yesterday. You can pay for them."
Shi Xiu was shocked and said, "Before my brother took out the ingot, I took out all the gold and silver on my body. Haven't you seen it?"
Cao Cao stared at him: "Why are you so generous? My two gold ingots are enough for the two of us to stay together for a long time. Don't you know the price?"
Shi Xiu was very aggrieved: "When did you tell me the price?"
The old man selling soup cakes saw the two of them muttering to each other, narrowed his eyes and came over: "Two guests, the total amount of the favor is forty-four coins."
Cao Cao glared at Shi Xiu again, stood up, saluted, and said with a smile: "Old man, let's talk about it. I have a unique skill in making pancakes, and I can teach it to you. How about paying for it with your meal?"
The old man took a step back, raised his eyes and shouted: "You will never have to cheat in this life. If you make good cakes, how can you not even have money for food?"
Cao Cao kept his smile and was about to say more when he saw Shi Xiu getting up and taking out a purse embroidered with mandarin ducks flying together. He took out a small ingot of one tael and said, "Don't argue with my elder brother. I'll give you this money. You don't have to." found."
The old man who bought the soup cakes immediately beamed with joy and thanked him repeatedly. However, Cao Cao was furious and pulled Shi Xiu out of the store: "You man, why did you say you have no money and make me lose face?"
Shi Xiu said with a grimace and guilt on her face: "That's the red envelope Miss Manman gave me. I swore to her that I would never spend it."
Cao Cao suddenly became happy: "One tael of silver in the red envelope? Then why does Manman care about you? I heard from brother Zhang Shun that he was also in Yiqing Building back then, but he only received five copper coins in the red envelope."
As the saying goes, people compare themselves to each other and enjoy themselves to death. Shi Xiu suddenly became happy: "That's natural. Although Manman and I met for the first time, we have a deep affection for each other. Hey, after spending this money, if we talk about it when we meet in the future, I have to say that I don't Re-commitment.”
Cao Cao said: "Then why do you need to spend it? Don't you see that the old man is about to agree to give me the cake recipe?"
Shi Xiudao: "If you ask the eldest brother to talk to someone else in order to make a date with a woman, wouldn't it destroy the loyalty between brothers?"
Cao Cao was greatly moved after hearing this: "Good brother, you are so loyal! In this case, the eldest brother will also teach you to be good. Then Mrs. Manman, the money given to you has no name or surname. When you go back, find a little boy with one tael. Put the money in the bag, and if I ask you later, you will insist that this is it, if you don’t believe she really knows her."
Shi Xiu was overjoyed after hearing this and nodded repeatedly: "Brother is really wise and resourceful! But lying to others is always a helpless move..." After saying that, he took out four or five red envelopes from his arms and held them in his hands, and swore: "Jane I won’t be able to spend the money given by Zhen, Xiuxiu, Xing’er, Qinxiang, and Lan Xi even if I starve to death.”
Cao Cao was dumbfounded and said in shock: "The red envelope is the prize for your yellow flowers. Others' yellow flowers are all branches, but you have a full pot of Shixiu?" I thought to myself, good guy, you are really not in vain for that Yiqingzui. drink!
Shi Xiu looked around, blushed and said: "If it weren't for you, eldest brother, I wouldn't tell anyone else, but we were all drunk last night. When they woke up, they argued for a long time, and they didn't remember who was the first one, so they were alone. He gave me a bag and asked me to remember them well."
Cao Cao looked at Shi Xiu intently and couldn't help but admire: "Your shameless attitude has the charm of my youth."
The two were chatting and joking all the way, and the government office was already in front of them.
As soon as Cao Cao arrived, a group of brothers and people from Liangshan hurriedly came out to greet him. Pei Xuan said: "Brother, we were busy until dawn last night. The people complained more than a thousand times and killed 65 officials and servants below the prefect Cai Dezhang. Brother Wen Bing and I More than a hundred charges were written, but only one Huang Kongmu was not killed. Brother Zhou Quanming had previously delayed his sentence, but he was kind to us. Secondly, no one sued him. He had only been bribed a few times, and it was all committed by Zhouquan people. kind."
Huang Wenbing said with a smile: "Huang Kongmu is a wise man. Yang Lin said that he would give him a hundred taels of gold after he promised to do it, but he refused to take it. In the end, he couldn't shirk it, so he exchanged all the coins for copper coins and distributed them to the people who were being persecuted, and he took care of them himself. I lost my fortune, took the young and old with me, and left the city early in the morning. I don’t know where to go.”
Cao Cao smiled and said: "This guy is a good boy and knows how to protect himself wisely. Otherwise, if the Song court traces him, he will be the only one alive among the civil servants in the city, and it will be difficult to tell the difference between him and his body. It would be better to hide his name and go to sleep."
At this time, Chao Gai strode forward and said: "Brother Wu, we have waited thousands of miles to reach this point, but the foundation is not solid. If we stay for a long time, we will be in trouble. I will ask Brother Wu for advice on what to do next."
Li Jun said: "There are thousands of surrendered troops surrounded by the prison camp. The daily consumption is not small. Are they recruiting surrender or something else? Do you have any arrangements, brother?"
Cao Cao said: "Don't be busy, brother Pei Xuan, you and Wen Bing go and spend a thousand silver, find those down-and-out scholars, copy and bind the pleadings, give them two taels of silver for each volume, a total of five hundred volumes, and distribute one in this city first." Hundred, it slowly spreads out the rest of the way home."
Then he said to Li Jun: "Let brothers Luan Tingyu and Ou Peng help you go to the prison camp to select those soldiers who are under thirty or over fifteen years old, homeless and unemployed, and can lift sixty kilograms of stone locks. Ask They are willing to go to Liangshan with us and live a happy life, and the rest will be released until tomorrow and let them return to their original military camp on their own."
He also called Mu Hong, Meng Kang, and Hua Rong and said: "Brother Hua Rong, please, please and I, two brothers, follow Li Jun to Laocheng Camp first, choose a few old soldiers to lead the way, and bring more people with you." We opened an equipment warehouse, picked up the best armor and equipment, and loaded them all back into the truck."
A group of people took the order and hurried away. Cao Cao then said to Chao Gai: "Let Wu Xuexue take a few brothers, and I, Jiang Jing, Shi Xiu and Deng Fei, go to the treasury to calculate some money and food, and then find The carts are all loaded, don’t worry about who contributes more, half will be shared equally between you and my family.”
Chao Gai was overjoyed when he heard this and said repeatedly: "How to do it!"
Cao Cao laughed and said: "How can you not do it? We live and die side by side, and we are in love. Although I am the capital in Yanggu and you are the king in Liangshan, I only regard you as a brother in life and death. Why should we care about each other so much between brothers?" "
After hearing this, Chao Gai was full of admiration: "Unexpectedly, there is such a world-class hero as Brother Wu in Shandong! Brother, I also want to say something from my heart, if Brother Wu is willing to go to Liangshan, Chao Gai will be the top spot. Presented."
This is the second time he has said this.
However, Cao Cao still did not respond and only smiled and said: "Who can predict what will happen in the future? In short, the love between our brothers is as high as the mountains and as deep as the seas. Everything else is trivial."
By the afternoon, all things had been done, and more than a hundred carts were loaded. The rice grains and copper coins that could not be loaded were all given away to the people, and the whole city was filled with cheers.
Cao Cao recalled all his brothers: "We have traveled to Jiangzhou and killed countless dog officials. We have brought evil to the people of Jiangzhou for many years. We have seized countless properties, which will last for several years. The most important thing is to rescue the Song Gongming brothers and bring peace to the world." Moral and righteous, it can be said that the merits are complete! There is no use in staying here longer, I will set off and return to Shandong soon!"
All the heroes and minions cheered in unison, cheering in front and behind, and the team moved out like a long queue.
After hearing that the heroes of Liangshan retired after their success, the people of Jiangzhou lined the streets to see them off. Many people kowtowed and burned incense. Many people also brought various specialties to eat and stuffed them into everyone's hands. Some of them were thrown directly into the car. I was so excited and felt that I had never been so satisfied in my life.
Wang Aohu stood on a big cart with piled high cash boxes and kept shouting: "I am Wang Ying. I am young and unmarried. If there is a wife who is willing to match her, she will follow Wang Ying back to the mountains to enjoy her..." All the people in the city were crowded. Laughing, they all cupped their hands and said, "Dwarf Tiger God Lord, don't worry, the people of Jiangzhou will not disappoint you."
Chao Gai saw that he was too embarrassed, so he turned his sword around and swept the carriage down with the sword pole, and then he stopped the sound.
The brigade slowly walked out of the city gate, not far away, when Shi Xiu suddenly called out: "Brother..."
Cao Cao followed his finger and looked back, only to see colorful clothes flying on top of the city wall. Yun Niang and a group of beautiful daughters looked down on her like a mortal fairy. Wang Aohu was about to jump up, but was tightly hugged by Song Jiang.
Lao Cao's eyesight was very good. He had already seen Manman and others who had given Shi Xiu a red envelope, hugging each other and crying uncontrollably. Yun Niang had a stern face, full of coldness. When she saw Cao Cao, she suddenly exerted herself. With one throw, two large ingots of gold fell straight down from the top of the city in the sunshine, causing many people to rob them.
There are different teachings: Last night, I laughed at the flowers as a metaphor for people, and the rolling carriages and horses crushed the dust. Who gives up his love lightly and sees that the season is approaching late spring.
