Of course, how can a man like Li Shushi, who has such a majestic and upright image, be able to say such a must-have speech for a doomed villain who attracts hatred and is full of middle-aged atmosphere? It is true that a low-key life is the way to go.
"Unfortunately, you have said it without knowing it, so please accept the sanction of justice~"
Therefore, it is too foul to say that this kind of mind-reading magic that should only exist in the second dimension is too foul.
This is too unscientific, coach!
Not seen for a while, Jinyang City and its surroundings have undergone great changes. A huge military camp has been added more than 30 miles away from the south gate of Jinyang City. Soldiers or people in various foreign costumes come in and out from time to time. It is not far away from the military camp.
A small town focusing on commerce has also been formed in the distance. Han Chinese and foreigners are conducting various trades in it. Even from a distance, you can hear the mixed sounds coming from there.
It made a huge noise and felt the enthusiasm of the people for it.
In the mountains and forests more than 60 miles northwest of Jinyang City, a large-scale academy has begun to vaguely show its grace. Although there are still many facilities that cannot be put into use, at the same time, the scholars who can enter it to study are still there.
Not much, but as long as nothing unexpected happens, in ten years’ time you will definitely be able to hear the sound of reading loudly there.
Less than 15 miles away from the west gate of Jinyang is the Taiyuan Stadium, which is loved by Jinyang and even the entire Bingzhou. For the Eastern Han Dynasty, which lacked entertainment means, such large-scale entertainment facilities were absolutely rare.
The most important thing is that it is open to all people. As long as you pay a certain amount of copper coins, you can enter it and enjoy a visual feast, and then you can get a week or even a month of conversation from it, especially in the winter leisure season when there is no farm work.
At the same time, people who have a lot more money in their pockets are naturally willing to spend part of their money for consumption activities.
Of course, merchants with a keen sense of smell have almost surrounded the neighborhood, especially those who have experienced the prosperity of Xihe Stadium. I believe that given time, maybe home and away games will become a normal existence.
But the most important thing is that judging from the smiles on the faces of the people along the way, the harvest in Bingzhou this year must be good. In addition, although Bingzhou under Li Shushi's rule has a lot of corvee work, they will be given certain compensation, so they should have a good harvest this winter.
You shouldn't be sad, right? The only thing I don't know is how long their stable life can last in this upcoming chaotic world.
In addition to familiar figures such as Cheng Yu and Old Tong, those who came to greet Li Shushi and his entourage also had two newcomers, Zhong Yao and Zhang Liao.
Speaking of which, Li Shushi was quite uneasy on the way back, thinking that Zhong Yao might severely punish him for a series of actions he committed in Luoyang, and he did not even rule out the possibility of directly abandoning his official position or using his influence to make some small moves for himself.
But what he didn't expect was that not only did Zhong Yao not do this, but it can be seen from Cheng Yu's letters that Zhong Yao actually helped Cheng Yu calm down some dissatisfied voices and also warned many interested people who were ready to take action. This made Li Shushi
I felt confused for a moment. Is Zhong Yao really trying to help me or does he have a bigger plan?
Li Shushi wasn't sure, or it could be that even Jia Xu, an expert in this field, couldn't understand the complex human heart.
But at least on the surface, the relationship between the two parties at this time is extremely harmonious. They are talking and laughing with each other, praising each other's pride, and looking very harmonious.
Of course, one thing that must be admitted is that Zhong Yao does have a level that exceeds that of Cheng Yu in internal political governance. Even Cheng Yu's pride admits that if he just straightens out the relationships between various forces and effectively manages all kinds of people and things,
Above, Zhong Yao, who is round on the outside and square on the inside, is obviously much stronger than Cheng Yu. This also makes the administrative efficiency of Zhong Yao's officials much higher than Cheng Yu's.
There is no way, it is easy to change the country and hard to change the nature. Although Cheng Yu has been working for Li Shushi for so many years, from Xihe to Hedong and then to Bingzhou, it can be said that he has accumulated rich experience, but after all, his temper is too hot. Even after his official career
Many of the original edges and corners of his body have been smoothed away, but that clear-cut attitude of hatred still interferes with his decision-making on things from time to time.
After all, compared to a child like Cheng Yu, who was born in a powerful family, Zhong Yao, who was born in the Yingchuan family, although his father died young, still had so many uncles to help take care of him. At the same time, because of the assertions of the famous fortune-teller, Zhong Yao was a member of the family.
Zhongya has attracted much attention, so he has received elite education from his family since he was a child.
This kind of education makes Zhong Yao view things more from the perspective of interests rather than from the perspective of emotions. Only when the difference in interests is not obvious will he consider the impact of personal emotions.
Of course, all of the above are Li Shushi’s irresponsible conjectures. As for how far they are from the facts, Li Shushi can only scratch his head and cover his face with a guilty conscience and look up at the sky at a 45° angle. Anyway, that’s it. “This story is purely fictitious. Any similarities are purely false.
coincide".
Although the welcoming crowd is filled with happy emotions, just like a unanimous vote can only be achieved by a voting machine, there are always some different emotions hidden in the happy atmosphere.
"Eh? Zixiao, why are you here too? Be careful if Master Zhongde or Master Yuan Chang finds out and punishes you."
An official from the Prefectural Mufu Mansion found a figure in the crowd who was somewhat out of tune with the surrounding environment. Although the surroundings were filled with a happy atmosphere, there was a feeling of sadness around this person. This strong feeling
The contrast makes people feel extremely uncomfortable. If this figure were not so familiar, this attribute officer would have a feeling that the other party might be a spy sent by the hostile force or even a dead soldier? But even so, the attribute
The official still patted the other party's shoulder worriedly.
The other party did not get violent and hurt anyone, nor did he show any signs of panic. He just turned around indifferently. It was Cao Ren.
Sure enough, there was no expression of joy on his face. Could it be that he felt unfair for the little emperor who was unjustly killed? Or maybe he was dissatisfied with Lord Zhou Mu for not intervening? There were rumors that Emperor Ling didn't like the man who died.
The little emperor originally wanted to establish
The current emperor is so powerful that he defied destiny and supported his nephew? Looking at the fate of He Jin's family, how do you think this rumor is the truth? Otherwise, how would the He family have suffered?
Such a great retribution.
The subordinates secretly muttered in their hearts that although any orthodox educational institution would instill the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, due to the misfortunes of the party and the performance of successive emperors, many scholars' recognition of the emperor continued to decrease, although it was not yet the case.
He may commit acts of rebellion and rebellion, but he can still feel comfortable speaking ill of the emperor and the royal family behind his back.
Of course, these mental activities of subordinates will not be shown on their faces. After all, he does not know what the other party is thinking. Once he violates the taboos of the other party, a close confidant of Master Zhou Mu, it will obviously not be of any benefit to him. So on the surface,
He said a joke, as if he wanted to resolve the embarrassment caused by Cao Ren's expression.
However, the official's efforts obviously failed. Not only did Cao Ren's face not show a trace of smile, but he sighed softly, as if he was deeply worried, making the atmosphere between the two people seem to be worse than before.
Even more embarrassing.
The two sides looked at each other silently in embarrassment for a long time, and then it ended with the magnificent retreat of a very poor subordinate.
However, it was precisely because of the strange aura generated by the "confrontation" between the two that they were discovered by Lu Bu and others who were crowding in the crowd. Li Shushi was talking to Cheng Yu and Zhong.
Yao, Zhang Liao and others were chatting, so they didn't understand the surrounding situation at all for the time being. The female family members even passed by the welcoming crowd under Su Xiaololi's order.
"I said, Zixiao, why are you looking so sad? Could it be that there is something wrong with the Zi family and you need to come back for help?"
Similar to Zhang Liao, who was the county magistrate of Jinyang, Cao Ren, who was originally the county magistrate in Pingzhou, successfully obtained the post of county magistrate of Zishi County through his connections through activities. Of course, Li Shushi's influence accounted for a large part in this.
The reason is that the Zi family is adjacent to Pingzhou County where Cao Ren was originally employed. This means that if there is any problem in Xihe where Lu Zhi is located, Cao Ren can quickly dispatch.
In other words, Cao Ren is the door god guarding the west gate of Taiyuan County. Now that he appears here with a grimace, it is reasonable for Lu Bu to have such suspicions, but everyone obviously knows Cao Ren very well, and no one thinks that the Zi family that Cao Ren is guarding
There will really be problems in the county. After all, the Zhongyang County that Cao Ren guarded had to withstand Kuitou's attack under difficult conditions, let alone now.
"It turns out to be Fengxian. There are some things that, alas... are hard to explain in words. But I feel really happy to be with you all..."
"What? Did something happen at home? Why do I feel like you are saying goodbye to us?"
Because of Zhang He, Qu Yi and others, Lu Bu was very familiar with this feeling. Although he had long known that Cao Ren of the Cao family, who came from a powerful family and was actively moving toward a noble family, could not always stay in such a small place, but when this
When the day seemed to have really arrived, Lu Bu still felt melancholy in his heart.
"It's hard to say now. I plan to talk to my lord. There are many things... Oops..."
Just when Cao Ren was hesitant, a big hand suddenly slapped his shoulder hard. Even with his strength, Cao Ren couldn't help but grin at the huge pain. In fact, if Cao Ren hadn't been thinking all about it,
How could he be completely unable to avoid the "attack" from behind? Of course, Lu Bu's bad taste was also one of the important reasons why this happened.
"This...isn't this Yuan Rang and Miaocai? Why are you here? Don't you need to protect Meng De?"
Cao Ren turned around to look for the "murderer" who attacked him, but he saw a proud-looking Xiahoudun and a shameless Xiahouyuan behind Xiahoudun. He was surprised and happy at the same time.
"Okay, you guys, let's talk. But Zixiao, I hope we won't meet on the battlefield one day."
Seeing that the relationship between the two parties seemed to be very close, Lu Bu consciously said goodbye and left. However, the look he looked at Cao Ren was very complicated, but Cao Ren understood all the meaning.
"We will always be brothers, Fengxian."
"I hope so too."
For the first time so far, Cao Ren had a heartfelt smile on his face, a smile of relief and gratitude.
