Sixteen-year-old Xia Houyuan was practicing swordsmanship, and twenty-three-year-old Cao Cao was reading in the corridor.
There was a faint knock on the door in the front yard, and not long after, a servant came to report that "Marquis Jian Qiang is visiting."
Cao Cao was overjoyed, put down his book, and stood up to greet him.
The visitor was his close friend, Jianqiang Hou Song Qi, the elder brother of Empress Song in Luoyang Palace and the wife-in-law of the emperor today.
The three of them met and exchanged pleasantries.
Xia Houyuan continued to dance with his sword, while Cao Cao took Song Qi to sit down and invited him to taste the new tea that Xia Houyuan bought from a stranger.
Song Qi smiled bitterly: "Mengde, I'm not as elegant as you."
Cao Cao drank a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Brother is a noble person and busy with things, so you can't compare yourself with an idle person like me."
In April, the emperor dismissed his father Cao Song from his position as chief minister of agriculture. Cao Cao also simply resigned from the post of Dunqiuling and returned to his hometown to live leisurely.
"People are noble?" Song Qi sighed with emotion, "The so-called nobleness or disgrace depends only on the emperor's interest. If the emperor likes it, he will be noble. If he doesn't like it, he will be as cheap as a pair of worn shoes."
Cao Cao drank tea and said, "But there are changes in the palace?"
According to "Historical Records of Strangers", in the first year of Guanghe, that is, this year, Wang Fuhui, the official of the Central Committee, made a slanderous statement to the emperor and slandered the Empress of Song. As a result, the Empress of Song was deposed and Song Qi's family was executed.
"There are some rumors in the palace. Fortunately, the emperor also read "Three Kingdoms" and had many criticisms about eunuchs, so he ignored them." Speaking of this, Song Qi sighed, "However, the queen's honors and favors are rare, and her future fortunes are unpredictable.
ah."
Cao Cao said a few words of comfort, and Song Qi asked: "Meng De, why are you teaching me?"
Cao Cao's face was stunned. Your sister is competing for favor. What can I teach you?
Xia Houyuan, who was moving around in the courtyard, put away his ring knife and handed over a treasure with a smile.
————————
"Donkey's Foal Mei"
[Grade] Not good enough.
[Attribute] If worn by women, charm +20.
[Description] When a donkey foal is born and has not fallen to the ground, there is something like meat in its mouth, which is called Mei, and a woman can bring it to Mei. - "Chibei Ou Tan"
————————
Xia Houyuan said that this was given to him by a stranger he knew well. If my brother wants to use it, just take it.
Song Qi smiled bitterly and said: "There are dozens of these in Luoyang City. So why noble lady lost the favor of the official because of her bad deeds of 'poisoning the beauty Wang'? She even bought one with a lot of money."
[Huangpin·Donkey King Mei], it is said that it can increase the charm by fifty, but the emperor has not changed his mind."
Xia Houyuan smiled and wanted to take back [Donkey Jumei], but Cao Cao drove him to practice swordsmanship.
Cao Cao put away [Donkey Mei] and curiously asked Song Qi: "Queen, all the nobles have lost their favor. Is there any beauties in Ye Ting who can get the Holy Scroll of the Emperor?"
Song Qidao: "I heard from Xiao Huangmen that the emperor values a warrior woman very highly."
"Warrior?" Cao Cao was confused.
Song Qi nodded: "Do you know about Princess Wannian setting up a [girls' school]?"
Cao Cao said he knew.
Song Qi added: "There is a person in that [girls' school] who calls herself Wang Rong. Many people say that she is the 'Wang Beauty, Queen Linghuai' in the 'History of Strangers'."
"However, this woman's character is different from the one in the 'Historical Records'. She is as fierce as fire and unruly. She once roared in Luoyang City, with a sound like a lion and a tiger, and the sound shook hundreds of miles, and countless people fainted.
People call it 'the roar of the lion of Yanzhao'."
"Song Dian, the Commander of the Hook Shield, and He Jin, the Tiger Guard Commander, once gossiped about her. She broke into the mansion, broke her arms and legs, and took away many treasures and props."
Xia Houyuan was stunned when he heard these words.
Cao Cao was also surprised: "They say that the Wannian little princess 'wants to learn to be a good wife', this... she really found a good wife."
Song Qi continued: "I don't know why, but the emperor attaches great importance to this woman. Song Dian, He Jin, and many high-ranking officials filed complaints against her, but the emperor suppressed them."
"One more thing," Song Qi said, "Yuan Gongli once tried to find fault with [the girls' school], saying that among the students, there was his 'historical wife'. As a result, he was beaten up by the Wang family daughter and left in embarrassment."
"Historical wife?" Xia Houyuan was curious, so he simply gave up his knife, sat in front of the eucalyptus, and listened to Song Qi's story.
"The young daughter of Shang Shulang Feng Fang is the 'Queen' of Yuan Gongli in "Three Kingdoms"." After Song Qi explained, he looked at Cao Cao and said hesitantly, "Meng De, there are some rumors in Luoyang City that are related to you.
Tell me."
Cao Cao didn't take it seriously: "Could it be that I usurped the Han Dynasty and established myself on my own, holding the emperor hostage to order the princes?"
Song Qi shook his head: "There are two girls among the students of [Girls' School]. One is the Bian family of Baiting in Qi County, and the other is the Huan family of Pengcheng State. People say that they are the Bian and Huan people in your 'historical records'
lady."
Cao Cao was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Xia Houyuan asked: "Qijun? Pengcheng? This Qingzhou and the other Xuzhou, how did you find them?"
Song Qi replied: "It is said that Wang Rong called them by name and found them one by one."
When Cao Cao heard this, several thoughts suddenly flashed across his mind -
The emperor favored Wang Rong...
Wang Rong is looking for someone...
Could it be that the emperor used the name of Wang Rong to find "ladies"?
Enter [girls school]?
Or enter Luoyang's palace?
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Just as he was about to speak, there was another knock on the door in the front yard.
Soon, the servant came to report——
The angel is here to recruit girls from the Cao family into the [girls' school].
…………
In [Fang Pot], both [Snake Lady] and [Queen Hair] have [Bottleneck Test] enabled.
[Sheji] Red Fish, because she had eaten [Han Peach], easily passed the [Strength 75 Bottleneck Test].
Yaya and [Queen Mao] spent more time, after all, they had to break through to [Earth Grade].
After half an hour, Yi Snake and Yi Fei returned. Each had an additional [Characteristic], and their strength was greatly improved.

"Can turn a stone into a sheep"
[Attribute] Under the command, it turns into stone and turns into geese and sheep.
[Description] Cheng Junping, a native of Changsha County, was fifteen years old. His brother sent him to herd geese and sheep. Suddenly he met an immortal who was about to enter Donghua Mountain. My brother went to the mountain and saw Junping. He asked where the geese and sheep were.
Jun Ping pointed to the white stone and said: "This is it." He then drove up and ordered him to follow his brother. Ten days later, he returned to the foot of the mountain and turned into stone again. - "Shaoshi Shanfang Bi Cong"

One [turns a stone into a sheep] and the other [haired bird of prey].
Li Yu looked at Yaya. She twitched her snake tail and hit a small stone.
What~~
A little lamb got up, jumped, jumped.
Hmm, so... so cute.
[Sheji] Yaya flicked her tail again, and a boulder turned into a ram with horns like sharp knives.
Li Yu nodded, now that he was talking. Then, he looked at [Queen Mao] again.
[Queen Mao] looked up at the sky and ignored it.
[Feathered Bird of Prey] cannot be shown casually. After all, her "hair loss is like a cone", but she has completely removed it.
Finally, it was Li Yu's turn. Next, he had two exams, one [Strength 70 bottleneck test] and one [Intelligence 60 bottleneck test].
First martial arts, then literary.
"[System]: The player opens the [Strength 70 Bottleneck Test]. Due to the player's special status, the [Bottleneck Test] examiner can only be selected from the indigenous people."
"please choose……"
Several messages appeared before my eyes——
"[Force] 74, male, 36 years old."
"[Force] 79, female, 41 years old."
"..."
If not selected, refresh.
"[Force] 73, male, 29 years old."
"..."
If not selected, refresh.
After struggling for a long time, Li Yu finally saw an interesting "examiner"——
"[Force] 79, male, 15 years old."
Choose him!
Time and space passed, and Li Yu appeared on a grassland.
Opposite is a young man.
Ugly, fat.
"Xiao Langjun, do you have a nickname?" Li Yu asked with a smile.
