A group of people finished their deliberations, divided their work, and decided on some things in Jingzhou in the next few years.
Zhang Bai returned to Wu County overnight to find his brother.
Then he set off from Wu County without stopping, passed through Jingzhou again, and went to Yong'an in Shu Kingdom in person.
It was learned that Zhang Bai personally sent the letter to Feng Mingwen, and everyone in the know praised it:
The Zhang family in Wu County is really anxious for people's needs and is really a righteous family.
Zhang Bai arrived in Yong'an and sent a greeting card, intending to visit Fei Shi, who was in charge of Yong'an Yoshi City.
Others advised:
"In the past few days, countless people have wanted to visit Fei Gongju. Except for official business, Fei Gongju rarely sees outsiders. I am afraid that the man will not be able to do so."
“Oh, there is such a thing?”
Zhang Bai was slightly surprised when he heard this.
Over the years, the Zhang family has gradually focused on its transactions with Shu.
Yong'an Yi Market was established to facilitate transactions between Shu and Wu.
Therefore, it is proper to have good relations with the officials of Yong'an Yi City.
It’s just that now it seems that Fei Shi, who is in charge of Yishi, is not easy to talk to.
With Zhang Bai thinking like this, the servant who was sent to deliver the greeting card came back soon, and sure enough, he didn't bring back any good news.
Zhang Bai's trip was mainly to deliver a message. Since Fei Shi didn't want to see him, he didn't stay too long and turned to Jincheng, then continued north.
At this time, it was the end of March in the 11th year of Jianxing.
While Zhang Bai was traveling through mountains and rivers, a man from Wei State came to Liangzhou and also sent a letter to Governor Feng.
“Master Cao has passed away?”
Feng Governor, who had returned to Liangzhou, looked at Cao San in front of him and asked in surprise:
“Didn’t you say earlier that Mr. Cao was just suffering from a minor illness? Why did it happen so suddenly...”
Cao San has long lost the glory he had when he first came here.
This time, he sneaked into the caravan and arrived in disguise.
Seeing that Cao San looked sad and withered, he said sadly:
“The villain originally thought that King Chen was just suffering from a minor illness, but when he returned to Chen, he learned that King Chen had become seriously ill and was bedridden..."
Speaking of this, the man several feet tall actually shed tears in front of Feng Yong:
“By the time King Chen received the letter from Feng Langjun, he was already seriously ill.”
After Cao San left Liangzhou, Feng Yong wanted to find out whether the Cao family had any genetic diseases, so he wrote a letter to Cao Zhi in the name of caring about the disease.
Who would have thought that it was a mistake?
“Prince Chen said before his death: If you can leave Feng Langjun’s name in "Jianjinjiu", you will die without regrets."
As he spoke, he handed over the letter, "Prince Chen secretly asked me to deliver this letter to Feng Langjun before his death."
Feng Yong learned the news that Cao Zhi was dead, and he felt a little sad for some reason.
He mechanically stretched out his hand to take the letter.
Compared to the first letter, the handwriting of this letter is much more sloppy.
It should have been written by Cao Zhi when he was seriously ill.
Thinking of the poem I wrote to the other party, it was with some impure purpose, but I didn't expect that Cao Zhi was so sincere in exchange for it.
Feng Jishi, who was known as "cruel and ruthless", felt unusually weak and did not dare to look at Cao San. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Unexpectedly, Cao San put his knees on the ground, knelt down and bowed his head:
"Feng Langjun, let me tell you the truth. This villain came here not only to be entrusted by King Chen, but also to explore the military situation and the people's sentiments in Liangzhou."
“Unexpectedly, Feng Langjun not only treated me sincerely, but also specially composed a poem for King Chen. Before his death, King Chen felt that he was really ashamed of his kindness to Feng Langjun.”
“Now that King Chen has gone, I am here to plead guilty to Mr. Feng Lang on behalf of King Chen.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao San knocked his forehead to the ground with a "dong dong dong" sound.
When Governor Feng saw what Cao San did, his face turned red with embarrassment.
He quickly helped Cao San up and said nervously:
"You don't have to be like this, Yishi Cao. Why didn't I have selfish motives at the beginning? How can I call it sincerity? You are trying to shame me!"
“I wrote poems as gifts to Mr. Cao, just to use Mr. Cao’s reputation to increase my own reputation...”
As for later wanting to use the friendship with Cao Zhi to find out about the hereditary diseases of the Cao family, that is a matter for the future.
When I wrote the poem "About to Enter the Wine", I really wanted to take the opportunity to create a situation where one Cao and one Feng coexisted in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Western Shu.
No one knows whether Li Taibai's poems were so awesome that they killed Cao Zhi.
Let Feng Jishi feel a little embarrassed.
After Cao San heard what Governor Feng said and saw his expression, he didn't know whether to believe it or to take it as comfort.
After all, when King Chen heard the comment that "Feng Langjun dominates the world and has eight talents," he nodded in agreement.
And bluntly said that “Feng Langjun’s talent in creating a unique style of writing will definitely be respected by those who come after him.”
Cao San had the preconception that if Feng Langjun had such talent, why would he need to be named King Chen?
However, Feng Langjun actually said these words to his face, which made Cao San feel better.
“If King Chen knows something underground, he can let go of his guilt.”
When Feng Yong heard Cao San’s words, he couldn’t help but sigh:
“The deceased has passed away, Cao Yishi should take care of his own body first.”
Compared with the first time he came to Liangzhou, Cao San now looks much thinner and his body is extremely thin.
There is still a sickly waxy complexion on his face, it seems that his health is not in good condition.
“I would like to thank Feng Langjun for your concern.”
After putting Cao San down to rest, Feng Yong sat blankly, his mind empty.
Logically speaking, he and Cao Zhi have never met each other in person, and they are not familiar with each other at all, let alone have any relationship with each other.
But for some reason, Feng Yong always felt a little unspeakably depressed when he learned about Cao Zhi's death.
If you are in a bad mood, your appetite will be bad.
I had one less bowl of dinner than usual.
“My heart is filled with panic!”
After having three bowls of rice, Governor Feng refused Amei’s offer of more rice.
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Governor Feng sighed, "I thought it would become a good story in the literary world, but I didn't expect that it would be gone after I said no."
“It’s already a good story!”
Zhang Xingyi gnawed the brittle bones of the ribs until they made a "click" sound, and said without raising his head:
“Feng Langjun was fascinated by Cao Zijian’s Qingping Banquet, and Cao Zijian praised Feng Langjun’s eight talents.”
"There is no Cao Zijian in the world today. The only talent in the world is Feng Langjun."
Feng Jishi glanced at Zhang Xiaosi angrily:
“My bones are not yet cold. What you say doesn’t make people feel chilled?”
Zhang Xiaosi finally raised his head and sneered:
"Cao Zijian is a traitor and a false king. In addition, he has a reputation for talent, and he is the flag of the literary world of Wei traitors. It is for your sake that I call him Cao Zijian."
Before the change, every one of the Cao thieves and puppet kings, especially Cao Cao's son, would be happy to die.
As a political creature, for Zhang Xiaosi, this heartless person has now officially established his position in the literary world.
So it doesn’t matter whether Cao Zijian dies or not.
