Eight hundred and fiftieth chapters shoot the tiger
In Chang'an City, the warrior Yu hurried to the backyard.
Seeing Zuo Ci and the others, Warrior Xun directly pressed his shoulders.
"Something happened to Maoling."
Bai Mao was stunned and murmured: "Why did something happen to it before I even took action?"
Warrior Yu's eyes suddenly changed.
Baimao quickly laughed and said, "Just kidding, what happened to Maoling?"
"Today, everyone in the house went out for shopping. When they came back, they said that in the tomb in Maoling, the champion Hou Huoqu died of illness and came back to life!"
Zuo Ci was silent for a moment and asked, "Where did you get the news?"
"Where did the news come from? This matter has been spread all over the world, from octogenarians to young children with yellow hair."
Bai Mao slapped the table and cursed: "This naughty fox!"
The warrior looked at him strangely and whispered: "Why are you scolding yourself?"
Bai Mao glanced at him, not caring about arguing with him, turned around and said to Zuo Ci: "It must be Su Daji who released the news himself."
Zuo Ci shook his head and said, "There is another possibility."
Bai Mao glanced at him, slapped his forehead and said, "You mean six ears?"
"right."
"No matter who it is, once this bastard says it, we won't be able to do anything."
Seeing that they really wanted to dig Maoling Tomb, the warrior Xun even breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. You can go and die if you want. Anyway, just don't dig Xian Tomb.
Li Yuan is his buddy, and he is in charge of the mausoleum.
Although his two unscrupulous sons clamored every day to go to Bianliang to get promoted and make a fortune, and to hug their brother-in-law, the warrior Yu did not want to leave the Tang Dynasty.
This is his hometown. The warrior Yu once followed Li Yuan and conquered this vast territory.
He didn't want to leave at all.
Bai Mao complained: "Why hasn't Li Yu come yet? His butt is stuck in Xudu?"
Although Li Yu would go to other countries to work in the past, he usually left within half a year.
He did stay in Xudu for a long time this time, not because of anything else but because Cao Cao's step was too bold.
Li Yu was worried that he was taking too big a step and breaking his eggs. Boss Cao's soldiers and horses were strong and they were the most powerful force of the human race. They must not be defeated without a fight.
The Northern Expedition of the Wei Dynasty can be said to have fully demonstrated its strength. Wuhuan and Xianbei, who seemed to be powerful, had almost no resistance.
You must know that when the Tang Dynasty attacked Tubo, it was back and forth. The front was blocked by Tubo, which almost caused a catastrophe.
Of course, Datang's failure to send the main force was also a major reason.
Li Shimin never plays all his trump cards. Unlike Cao Liu, people with rich families often don't like to gamble.
Because there is no need for that.
Zuo Ci smiled and said: "This serious little fellow is in Xudu this time. I'm afraid I might get some unexpected gains, so I'm reluctant to leave."
The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous, Zuo Ci and Baimao laughed maliciously, Samurai Yu looked embarrassed, and only the one-horned ghost king Chibi was still staring at the map of Maoling.
Chibi's eyes were very focused, and she was not affected by the rumors at all.

Yizhou, Wuhou Mansion.
Liu Bei came in person and chatted with Zhuge Liang in the back garden. Guan Yu, who had withdrawn from Jingzhou and never returned, was also there and sat next to Liu Bei.
Guan Yu's departure from Jingxiang was a signal sent by Shu.
They withdrew their strongest spears and sent Huo Jun, a general who was good at defense, to show that Shu had no ambition to attack.
The three of them were sitting in front of a stone table, and Huang Yueying was also sitting on the railing next to them. Their relationship was very harmonious and the atmosphere was very warm.
"Changan of the Tang Dynasty said that a champion has emerged. What does the prime minister think?" Liu Bei asked.
Zhuge Liang held down the fan and said with a smile: "It's true."
Guan Yu frowned and said, "Really?"
"Well, it is indeed true. In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had received guidance from an expert and taught him the art of immortality, but it took a long time. Emperor Wu was afraid that he would not be able to wait, so he resorted to the method of feigning death and borrowing copper coins.
People are resurrected. It's a pity that the big man didn't persist until that day. The champion probably used the same Taoist skills and was waiting for Emperor Wu to be resurrected to help him achieve great things again."
Guan Yu made a fist with his left hand, hit it on the palm of his right hand, and said excitedly: "Okay! If the champion is resurrected, he will have more chips to revive the Han Dynasty!"
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei looked at each other and smiled.
Liu Bei sighed and said, "It's not that simple."
"Brother, what does this mean?" Guan Yu's face turned red with excitement. They all admired the champion Hou Huo Qubing.
Zhuge Liang stood up, looked at the small lake in the yard with his hands behind his back, and said: "The past is long, spanning hundreds of years, and things have changed. Even if he is resurrected, he has never fought side by side with us. Along the way, how could he know that we
difficulties and demands.”
Guan Yu wanted to refute, but Liu Bei held his hand down. Although he wanted to argue with Zhuge Liang, the elder brother still had the heaviest weight, and Guan Yu remained silent.
Liu Bei said: "Now that we have promised to the upright Taoist priests to advance and retreat together with the human race, we must not break our promises. Looking at the world, we are human beings first, and Han people second."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Yes, it's not too late to discuss everything after everything is settled. Look at Li Yu, the serious Taoist priest. When did he stay in Yizhou for so long? He just saw that Wei State is now weak.
, for fear that the Six Dynasties Alliance will be destroyed. We must not go on the opposite side of all races at this time, otherwise we will be in catastrophe."
Guan Yu was silent, which was why he was recalled to Yizhou. He was originally in charge of Jingxiang because the war was imminent.
Everyone in the Six Dynasties knew that the war was about to break out, and it was bound to break out first in Jingxiang.
Calling him back now is to temporarily extinguish the powder keg of Jingxiang in the Six Dynasties.
"No matter what, we must invite the champion, otherwise we are afraid that he will encounter danger outside." Guan Yu said.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "We are willing to invite him, but he may not come. Let's stop talking about this matter. Don't let the other five countries misunderstand us. At present, the enemy is facing us, and everyone is looking at our Shu Kingdom.
, The Alliance of Six Dynasties is very important, and we must not allow any rift to arise from within."
Liu Bei nodded and said, "The Prime Minister is right."
Zhuge Liang turned around and said with a smile: "Among the six dynasties, Cao Cao was the one who saw the most thoroughly, so he took this opportunity to launch the action of cleaning up the family. This move of his was indeed good. Otherwise, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it again."
There is such a great opportunity.”
"Cao Ah Man has always been courageous." Liu Bei sighed and said sincerely.
"If we don't fight, will others not fight?" Guan Yu snorted coldly and said: "Then Li Shimin is the most ambitious. It seems that these thousands of miles of country and the Central Plains belong to his Li family. The eldest brother is a Han Dynasty.
A descendant of the imperial family, but not as good as him?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Li Shimin? He doesn't even dare to fight, otherwise his reputation as the most powerful country in the Six Dynasties will not be preserved."
Liu Bei could see that his second brother was unhappy, so he comforted him: "When the dust settles, let's continue competing. We are originally small and weak. In fact, this incident is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us."
"Your Majesty is right!" Zhuge Liang was very happy that Liu Bei could see this. He followed Liu Bei's words and continued: "This is an opportunity, an unexpected opportunity brought by the demon star outside the sky. If you don't seize this opportunity,
, and will fall into the fate of heaven."
"At that time, the will is powerless and God's will cannot be violated!"

Xu Du and Li Yu also got the news.
Cao Cao told him.
Now he is at Tongque Terrace, discussing this matter with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao slapped the table and said: "The Champion! I really want to see what he is like."
"Your Majesty, this matter has not been decided yet, so there is no need for your Majesty to worry."
Cao Cao laughed and said: "Worried? I'm not worried. No one person can control the general trend of the world, not even the champion. It's just that when I was young, I was a captain of the Han Dynasty. I have listened to the bravery of the champion since I was a child.
When you grow up, you just long for it."
Li Yu was a little helpless. If Boss Cao had something to do, he would just mention that he was a captain of the Han Dynasty, as if he was loyal to the Han Dynasty.
You can just say that when he was young, he had the desire to be a loyal minister of the great Han Dynasty, but it is absolutely impossible now.
But it seems that Cao Cao's optimism is fake.
What he could see, Cao Cao could naturally do too. He was not at all worried about Huo Qubing going to Western Shu and provoking a war between Shu and Wei.
Cao Cao seemed to have read Li Yu's thoughts. He smiled and said: "Taoist Master, are you worried that the champion will go to Xishu?"
"That's exactly what I meant."
Cao Cao pointed at him and said with a smile: "The relationship between Taoist Master and Liu Bei is still short after all. It's better for me to get to know him better. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will never change their strategies just because of the appearance of a champion; secondly, the champion may not go
In Xishu, Xi Lian once said that the Taoist Master still remembers the incident about the exposed copper plate, right?"
Li Yu nodded.
Cao Cao squinted and said, "He might wait for Emperor Liu Che..."
Li Yu said nothing.
Cao Cao's analysis makes sense, but he doesn't know one thing.
That is, the matter of the copper plate being exposed has become obsolete.
The reason is also very simple. The copper plate of Chenglu was refined by himself and divided into five natal magic weapons, which were in the hands of the little Lolita from Zhengjing Sect.
The sweet dream of Emperor Wu's resurrection had already been shattered when he was trapped in Maoling a few years ago.
However, Cao Cao said that Liu Bei would not change his policy, which gave Li Yu some reassurance.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei have been friends longer than themselves, and they have been enemies even longer.
Perhaps the people who know Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang best in the world are Cao Cao and his subordinates.
Li Yu raised his wine glass and said, "Your Majesty is wise and extraordinary."
"If the Taoist master really thinks so, I will be very relieved!"
At this time, someone outside shouted: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you."
"Let him in."
Cao Pi came in excitedly, followed by a group of people, carrying a golden tiger carcass in their hands.
This tiger is very majestic and its hair is shiny. Even if it is dead, it is not difficult to see the majesty of the king of beasts when it was alive.
After Cao Pi came in, he saw Li Yu at first sight, and he hugged his fists hypocritically.
Cao Cao took one look at the tiger's body and said with a smile: "My son is interested, but for shooting tigers, it is better to hunt them yourself. Don't be like Sun Zhongmou, who only makes people laugh."
Sun Quan's shooting of tigers is a widely circulated Soochow joke in the Six Dynasties.
Sun Quan's father and brother are both famously fierce men. Not to mention hunting tigers with bows and arrows, they dare to hunt with bare hands. They are the kind that will avoid tigers when they see them. But when it comes to Sun Quan, the force value has dropped a bit, but
He still likes hunting, especially tigers.
Once, when he was shooting at a tiger, the tiger counterattacked him. If it were not for his guards to guard the savior, he would have been killed by the tiger. After that, Sun Quan invented a new hunting method. He sent someone to build a carriage.
Cover yourself in an iron cage, then send someone to drive and shoot the tiger in the cage.
If his father and elder brother saw this method of hunting tigers, they would probably be furious.
This incident spread to the Song Dynasty, and Su Shi, who was still alive at the time, wrote "Shoot the tiger yourself and watch Sun Lang" to make fun of it.
Among the Six Dynasties, those who loved hunting the most and had great reputations were Sun Quan and Cao Pi. Unfortunately, these two were both addicted to food...
Cao Pi knew that Li Yu was the most valued by Cao Cao, so he did not dare to make a mistake in front of his father, but outside he had already demoted Li Yu to be worthless.
The reason why he did this was that he was afraid that Li Yu would reveal his embarrassing story, so he came to strike first.
Cao Pi felt that as long as he confused right and wrong outside, it would be said that Li Yu wanted to accept him as his disciple, but he was ridiculed and sternly rejected by him.
In this way, no matter what Li Yu said, others would think that he was angry because of shame.
The angrier Li Yu became, the more he ignored him, which confirmed the fact that he was angry from shame.
But he never expected that Li Yu would ignore him at all...
Cao Cao didn't like his son's gift very much, but he accepted it with a smile.
Cao Chong's death has always left the father and son with some grudges.
Cao Cao never concealed his preference for Cao Chong, and Cao Chong was very worthy of this preference. He was indeed good enough.
Li Yu didn't want to stay with Cao Pi any longer, so he asked to leave.
Cao Cao sent him out, and Li Yu smiled and said, "How dare you trouble your majesty? Please come back."
"It's okay, I'll take you out of the palace."
When Cao Pi saw this, he immediately said: "My son, I will send a gift to the Taoist priest for my father."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "That's fine."
On the way out of the palace, Cao Pi said with a smile: "There are some rumors going around. Has the Taoist Master heard of them?"
Li Yu shook his head and said: "I am a poor Taoist who only cultivates Taoism and never asks about rumors."
Cao Pi's eyes moved and he said: "Those ignorant people said that I rejected the Taoist priest, which is really nonsense. I hope the Taoist priest doesn't mind."
Li Yu looked at Cao Pi, who was looking proud and smiling so much that he deserved to be beaten.
But Li Yu had no desire to beat him because Cao Pi had already received the punishment he deserved.
Li Yu was extremely regretful that he had reached the Great Perfection of the Water Character Jue while he was in a coma.
I really want to experience it again...
I don’t know if there is another chance!
Seeing Li Yu's disappointed look, Cao Pi became even more proud, thinking that it was because Li Yu couldn't do anything to him that he made such a gesture.
Cao Pi was in a good mood and his steps were a little brisk.
