——What is the senior sister’s surname Ren?

——Is the ‘Xiu’er’ the master always calls the senior sister’s name?

The words of Wang Shuhe, Zhang Zhongjing's eldest disciple, caused the woman who was eating to fall silent in an instant...

However, this silence only lasted a short time.

Soon...she returned to her previous look.

Luo Luo admitted generously: "Senior Sister's surname is indeed Ren. As for 'Xiu'er', it is Senior Sister's nickname, which is not elegant."

Hearing this, the eldest disciple Wang Shuhe nodded repeatedly...

The second disciple, Du Du, became curious about his senior sister.

"I heard the master mentioned that Senior Sister's hometown is in the Central Plains, right? Everyone says that the most prosperous city in the Central Plains is Luoyang City. It's a pity that it was burned down by Dong Zhuo's fire! I just don't know what Luoyang was like before the fire.

How majestic is this city? Have you been to Luoyang, senior sister? Can you tell us about it?"

"I don't live in Luoyang, so I don't know about that." The woman pursed her lips slightly and told lies calmly.

"Oh...that's a pity." Du Du felt a little regretful.

He is a young man who is full of curiosity about everything.

only.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. The mention of Luoyang by the second disciple Du Du immediately brought back the woman's long-lasting memory.

Since it was just a casual chat during the meal, and since they were all disciples of Zhang Zhongjing, there was no ill intention among everyone.

In addition, the conversation was about a "big city" like Luoyang, which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

The third disciple, Wei Xun, was young but the most agile. Following the words of the second senior brother, he hurriedly said, "I recently heard... a Luoyang patient who fled to us told us, 'In Luoyang City twenty-five years ago,

, there is a stunning beauty named Diao Chan. I heard that if she goes out at night, the moon will be hidden out of shyness, making the city of Luoyang dark...'"

"Where can there be a woman who makes the moon shy? It's just a rumor..." The eldest disciple, Wang Shuhe, was older and more knowledgeable. He waved his hand, "I don't believe it. When it comes to appearance, there are women who can compare with us.

Senior sister’s.”

Indeed, the senior sister in front of me with the surname "Ren" and the nickname "Xiu'er" is nearly forty years old.

The skin cannot be as flawless as that of a twenty-eight-year-old girl, and it is inevitable that there will be many wrinkles on the face.

But...because her face is so perfect, her figure and temperament are unique, even though she has been tempered by the years, even if her appearance has aged to a certain extent, she is still a rare and beautiful woman.

In these years, when she was with her master, she had to be pursued by those princes and nobles, but none of these... could make this senior sister take notice.

She always seemed to be repelling people thousands of miles away, and the years had left too little aging on her face.

More, on the contrary, it has a lot of charm that only mature women have...

It makes people dazzled and has a feeling that "it can be viewed from a distance but cannot be played with".

It’s hard to imagine…

If such a senior sister were placed twenty-five years ago, how gorgeous would she be?

"It's a pity that Senior Sister was not in Luoyang twenty-five years ago." Du Du, the second disciple, sighed: "If Senior Sister was in Luoyang, how could she still get that Diao Chan who is so beautiful that she is famous all over the world?"

"However, it doesn't matter that Senior Sister is not around, it's also sad to hear the story of Diao Chan. First she was the adopted daughter of Wang Yun and Wang Situ, and then she was betrothed to Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu then killed Dong Zhuo. Diao Chan then married Lu Bu and was finally taken by Cao Cao.

The prisoner was given to Master Guan... It's a pity that he was killed by Master Guan in the end, what a pity!"

"That's not all..." The third disciple Wei Xun said quickly: "I heard from the patient in Luoyang that Diao Chan's death... was made into a story by storytellers. The so-called King Guan killed Diao Chan under the moon happened fifteen years ago.

Son, and at that time... this Diao Chan had actually just given birth to a daughter, named Lingju. However, after Diao Chan was killed by Mr. Guan, I don’t know where this Lingju is? I don’t know if she is dead now.

live?"

"Eh..." Wei Xun seemed to suddenly remember something, and said quickly: "It seems that Diao Chan's real name is Ren, and the senior sister is also named Ren. Could it be that... all women named Ren are born with good skin?"

this…

The woman couldn't stop thinking about Wei Xun's last words.

When the name "Lingju" and the words "dead or alive now" came out, the woman had already clenched her lower teeth very vaguely, and the loneliness between her brows and her body could not be stopped.

After leaving Luoyang City, after twenty-five years of baptism, all the things I have experienced come into view one by one.

She asked herself, as a person who had died once, her heart was filled with despair.

Can…

When she heard the name "Lingju" and the words "death or alive", she still couldn't control herself.

She was twenty-five years ago;

Fifteen years ago, she was the Diao Chan who "made the moon ashamed"!

At this moment, Diao Chan stopped holding the chopsticks in her hand and looked at the dishes on the table, but her thoughts had already flown back to that night fifteen years ago.

That was a game set by Cao Cao.

——Lü Bu died in Baimen Tower, and Diao Chan washed her face with tears every day.

——Cao Cao occupied Mrs. Du and wanted to marry Guan Gong with Diao Chan!

In Xiapi City, Guan Yu's pavilion is located opposite Diaochan's pavilion.

Cao Cao wanted to attract her to meet and drive a wedge between brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang.

What Cao Cao admired the most was Guan Yu, but Cao Cao was obsessed with it and occupied Mrs. Du, which made Guan Yu unhappy.

In his opinion, it didn't matter if Liu Bei and Zhang Fei couldn't stay, but at least they had to keep Guan Yu under their command, so...he came up with this two-bird-with-one-stone plan.

Using Diao Chan as a gift to Yunchang made Yunchang owe him a favor to Cao Cao, and also made the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang feel resentful.

But I never thought about it.

Just as the storyteller said - King Guan killed Diao Chan under the moon!

The Qinglong Yanyue Sword fell, and all conspiracies and conspiracies came to an end!

And this is the tone of the storyteller.

The real scene is.

That night, perhaps because Diao Chan went out, the moon was once again ashamed. The sky was extremely dark that night, and you couldn't see your fingers.

In front of the Earth Temple outside the city, Diao Chan, who put on men's clothing, bid farewell to Guan Yu...

"Be a cow or a horse in the next life, and then repay the kindness of the general."

"Your daughter Lingju, Guan will find a way to send it to you!" Guan Yu stroked his long beard, "Of course, you don't need to thank me, but Guan's sword will not kill the old and young, nor will it kill women and children."

"Thank you, General..." Diao Chan thanked her again and then left slowly under the cover of night.

She didn't know why... later storytellers would make up the story of "King Guan killed Diao Chan under the moon".

She didn't know why everyone misunderstood General Guan.

but…

The only thing Diao Chan knew was that Guan Yu did not send her daughter Lingju as agreed.

Diao Chan waited for a long time, maybe three months or half a year, but still could not see her daughter.

Later I heard that it was not that Guan Gong refused to send her away, but that her daughter suddenly disappeared in Cao's camp, and her life or death was uncertain.

At that time, Diao Chan... seemed to have suddenly lost the courage to live, and her heart was filled with darkness.

Once upon a time, she used serial schemes and beauty traps, risking being almost seen through and cracked by Li Ru, to turn the tide, and finally won the glorious victory of the Han Dynasty;

Not long ago, Li Jue and Guo Si's rebellion brought the people of Chang'an back from heaven to hell again.

Her adoptive father Wang Yun was killed, her husband Lu Bu escaped, and everything Diao Chan had done for the man was in vain!

The foster father and Dong Zhuo, Lian Lian Ji and Feng Yi Ting, everything seemed like a dream.

As the saying goes - sorrows and joys are all the same as illusions, and dreams in ancient and modern times are all absurd.

At that moment, Diao Chan finally saw clearly that she was not a heroine capable of saving a man in danger, but an innocent woman who was ignorant of the general trend of the world.

Her loyalty, spirit, and courage without fear of danger quickly disappeared at that moment.

Diao Chan in Xuzhou turned into a vulgar, selfish, short-sighted woman who only cared about herself. She used her selfishness to gradually kill Lu Bu's remaining chance of survival.

The beautiful woman grew old so quickly, and God was not even willing to open an extra window for her so that she could take her daughter with her when she left, and then pass away.

After leaving Guan Yu, Diao Chan gradually despaired of her life, her pain, her daughter, and her husband.

She has encountered too many cruel and ruthless blows in her life, but she is just a woman. No matter how strong she is, it is difficult to maintain the inner strength to continue to be beautiful!

At that time, Diao Chan was so disheartened that she almost wanted to die.

It just so happened that she contracted a disease, a terminal illness that was almost "incurable" in the Han Dynasty - typhoid fever!

She thought...so be it!

Let this end this life of hope and despair, pain and ignorance, desolation and indifference.

It was also at that time that she met Zhang Zhongjing.
