The Three Kingdoms Began with the Abduction of Luoshen - Chapter 171
Speaking of Liu Bei, he is actually about the same age as Cao Cao.
The two met during the expedition against Dong Zhuo, and from the beginning Cao Cao felt that Liu Bei was not an ordinary person. Maybe because of bad luck, no matter what, Liu Bei is on the road of overturning.
After all these years, nothing has been accomplished.
But Cao Cao did not despise Liu Bei because of this. He was actually very clear about some things, not just the need for strength. It also takes a bit of luck, even more so.
Just like the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was far stronger than Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was almost certain to lose. But the later victory can be said to be Cao Cao’s strength or Cao Cao’s luck.
If Cao Cao did not encounter Xu You, then Cao Cao would not be able to surprise Wuchao, and there would be no follow-up victory. Although Xu You is extremely hard-headed, he is really strong in this matter.
Almost directly changed Cao Cao’s fate.
Since Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao, he has fallen into a state of failure, which gave Cao Cao a chance to make progress. Only Cao Cao’s success today, these are the reasons for the cycle of cause and effect.
But in detail, if Yuan Shao can survive, his ability is not weak, and if he integrates the forces of the four states, he can still fight against Cao Cao, and the result is still unknown.
After all, after Yuan Shao’s defeat, he would still be able to organize hundreds of thousands of troops.
Such power is indeed powerful.
Therefore, Cao Cao never despised Liu Bei, and felt that this unfortunate **** was bound to become a big trouble. It’s not clear how Cao Cao will explain it, but there will always be a day when it will be fulfilled in the future.
At this moment, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with a solemn expression. He didn’t dare to despise him in the slightest, and said in a deep voice:
“Liu Bei is the real dragon of the world. If this person is not dead, I’m afraid the south will be difficult to calm down. I really have to worry about it.”
Guo Jia was stunned, this was actually what he didn’t expect, and Cao Cao attached more importance to this person than he thought. But if you think about it carefully, it’s not a big problem. Liu Bei is indeed not an ordinary person.
Guo Jia also has no doubt that as long as Liu Bei is given a chance, it will definitely bring Cao Cao great trouble.
I don’t know why, thinking of this, Guo Jia suddenly thought of Chen Jue and Qingyun Village.
For a moment he looked a little dazed.
Seeing Guo Jia’s strange appearance, Cao Cao was a little puzzled. He frowned slightly and asked curiously:
“Fengxiao, what’s wrong with you? Is it because you are not feeling well?”
Guo Jia immediately reacted, shook his head a little embarrassedly, and replied sternly:
“The prime minister doesn’t have to worry, it’s just a little distracted from the low post.”
Cao Cao froze and said to himself with a little doubt:
“Distracted?”
After that, Cao Cao didn’t ask more questions, but he was still puzzled. He had never seen Guo Jia so distracted.
After pondering for a while, Cao Cao felt that Guo Jia was a little tired. After all, it was normal for him to be weak because of such a serious illness before. He and Guo Jia have such a good relationship, so naturally they have to understand each other.
Under such a brain, Guo Jia’s behavior suddenly became normal.
Suddenly, Guo Jia couldn’t help laughing and crying.
But Guo Jia still sighed in his heart, the Prime Minister treated him like this, but he couldn’t be as distracted as before.
What followed, Cao Cao did not tell Guo Jia in detail.
Because he felt that Guo Jia was a little abnormal and seemed to be too tired, so Cao Cao directly let Guo Jia leave.
Guo Jia didn’t delay, he saluted and left.
At this moment, he inexplicably felt ashamed of Cao Cao. Although he had not yet made an obvious act of betrayal, he did not know when it started, and his heart had already changed.
Qingyun Village is really a strange place.
Guo Jia didn’t know how to describe how he felt, but there was no doubt that it was really special there.
Maybe this is where Qingyun Village is so powerful.
Walking on the road, Guo Jia shook his head, throwing many thoughts out of his head, he didn’t want to think about anything else.
Thinking about it is really exhausting.
At this time, choose to take a good rest.
In fact, what Cao Cao and Guo Jia didn’t know was that at this moment Guo Jia’s body was actually much better than before.
Chen Jue has learned the magic of medicine, how could it be so simple, that he took advantage of the time for treatment to take advantage of Guo Jia’s body to recuperate, and now his body is much better than before.
It’s just such a secret change, it just happened quietly, even Guo Jia didn’t realize it. That’s why Guo Jia felt that he was empty and exhausted at the moment.
But that’s all for later, let’s not mention it for now.
Moreover, after Guo Jia left, Cao Cao fell into deep thought again.
Although Liu Bei was a troublesome person who needed to be on guard, what he was most worried about at the moment was Qingyun Village. Although he didn’t want to directly turn against Qingyun Village, Cao Cao still wanted to find a way to try it out.
After all, the situation in Qingyun Village is special, and the truth is equally important.
The reason was that someone brought a pillow when he was sleepy. Cao Cao just thought of this when a guard suddenly came to report:
“Report to the Prime Minister, there is a group of people outside asking to see you.”
Cao Cao was actually not interested in this aspect, and even a little disgusted. After all, many demons are not good people.
If it is normal, I am afraid that Cao Cao is not willing to meet.
But for some unknown reason, Cao Cao thought about it, nodded to the guard, and said:
“Where is that person at the moment, bring him over to see Gu.”
The guards took orders.
They were Cao Cao’s personal follower, so naturally they had to obey Cao Cao’s orders.
Soon the guards went out, and it didn’t take long for him to bring back a Taoist man, who could be described as immortal, with an extraordinary temperament.
Cao Cao took a closer look, but was somewhat disappointed.
This old man looks just like that. He looks unremarkable. He feels far inferior to Chen Jue from Qingyun Village.
But out of courtesy, Cao Cao said:
“The solitary is Cao Cao. I don’t know the name of the elder, so what’s the matter with the solitary?”
The simple and straightforward question explained Cao Cao’s thoughts.
Lao Dao, however, looked calm, nodding and saying:
“Report to the Prime Minister, the poor Daoist Zuo Ci!”
The Taoist also reported the name succinctly and clearly.
Cao Cao was a little surprised when he heard this, and then said in surprise:
“The Taoist priest is that Immortal Zuo Ci?”
Lao Dao looked at Cao Cao, nodded first, then shook his head and said:
“Pin Dao is indeed Zuo Ci, but he is not an immortal.”
Cao Cao pouted, not expecting this person to be sincere.
Then Cao Cao wondered:
“According to the rumors, the Taoist priest is very capable, why is he not an immortal?”
Zuo Ci still looked serious, as if there was only one expression on his face, and at this moment said aloud:
“With such a meager ability, the Prime Minister will laugh at him. Naturally, he is not an immortal. The real immortal’s ability is far from this.”
Cao Cao thought about it every day, and then said:
“The real immortal must be able to fly through the clouds.”
Many question marks appeared on Zuo Ci’s forehead, and he pondered:
“Reporting to the Prime Minister, as far as the poor know, there is probably no one in the world who can fly to the sky.”
This made Cao Cao a little puzzled. It sounds like Zuo Ci is indeed capable, but why does he feel like he is swaying?
After all, he not only saw someone fly to the sky, but also experienced it with someone in person. Although the experience is really bad, it at least proves that there is such a thing.
There is no doubt that Cao Cao did not doubt Chen Jue’s statement, but really thought that it was Feitian’s mount. As everyone knows, this is the power of science and has nothing to do with fantasy.
Unconsciously, Cao Cao actually merged the two together.
But Cao Cao didn’t say it outright, just glanced at Zuo Ci quietly, his thoughts kept changing.
Then Cao Cao said seriously:
“In that case, why did the Taoist priest come to find Gu?”
If Zuo Ci really came to cheat and kidnap, it would be too disappointing for Cao Cao, and he really didn’t want to pay attention.
These conversations just now were a waste of time, and he thought he had really met the boss.
Seeing Cao Cao’s annoyed expression, Zuo Ci was also a little confused at the moment, but it was a normal conversation. Did he offend Cao Cao somewhere? This is really a strange thing.
Is it to cause the words of Fangcai?
Zuo Ci’s feeling is still very keen, he sensed it directly, and guessed the key to the reason. But Zuo Ci didn’t make this answer, but felt speechless in his heart.
Humans are inherently incapable of flying. Even if they are no longer mortals, they still have not exceeded that limit.
Even if there are people in the world who can fly, they must cultivate to a very high level, which is not something ordinary people can do.
But Zuo Ci was indeed not an ordinary person, and he didn’t want to be looked down upon by Cao Cao. After pondering for a moment, he knew that he had to make a choice.
As long as you take the chance, you’ll be fine.
After all, Zuo Ci does have some ability. If he doesn’t even have this ability, how can he be called a living fairy?
If it is really cheating so far, it has basically been revealed for so long.
Therefore, Zuo Ci did not ask Cao Cao, but turned his hand and turned into a fish, which was an authentic Yellow River carp.
Cao Cao was originally casual, but when he saw this scene, his eyes widened and he seemed a little confused.
Cao Cao didn’t see what Zuo Ci did just now, and almost instantly, a big carp appeared out of thin air.
The most incredible thing is that this big carp is still struggling and seems to be alive and kicking.
Cao Cao felt unbelievable, he said dully:
“Master Zuo… what did you do just now?”
Seeing Cao Cao’s normal reaction, Zuo Ci nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
“This is all the way of the end, please forgive me.”
Cao Cao hurriedly shook his head, and then said sternly:
“The Daoist is polite. I don’t mean to be alone. It’s just how the Daoist did it?”
In this regard, Cao Cao is very curious.
People will always be curious about unknown affairs, even Cao Cao, he is only a mortal after all.
If Cao Cao becomes indifferent, it will be really troublesome.
Seeing Cao Cao asking about this, this was undoubtedly what Zuo Ci wanted, so Zuo Ci replied with a smile:
“Actually, this carp was caught by Pindao just now.”
Cao Cao pouted, still very disbelieving, shook his head and said:
“Don’t be kidding, Daoist, this carp was born in the Yellow River, how could it be caught at this moment?”
But the next moment, Zuo Ci began to pretend again.
I saw that he reached out and squeezed a seal, and several big fish appeared here in an instant.
This time, Cao Cao couldn’t bear to disbelieve, he was stunned beyond words.
Before Cao Cao was in Qingyun Village, it was not that he had not seen Chen Jue pretending to be forceful, but compared to this moment, it was too low.
This is Cao Cao’s intuitive feeling, the situation of the two is different.
How exactly did Zuo Ci do it, the specific answer was naturally unavailable, but he still wanted to ask.
At this moment, Zuo Ci felt that Cao Cao was paying attention, so he nodded in satisfaction and said:
“Actually, Pindao came here to find a book.”
Cao Cao couldn’t help being a little surprised, and then said:
“What book the Taoist priest is looking for, I will send someone to look for it.”
But Zuo Ci was still serious, nodded and said:
“The book that Pindao is looking for is in the Prime Minister’s mansion. As long as the Prime Minister is willing to give this book to Pindao, Pindao is willing to pay some price.”
Not expecting Zuo Ci to be so direct, Cao Cao was puzzled and asked:
“Dare to ask what the chief is looking for?”
At this moment, Zuo Ci’s eyes suddenly changed, his eyes were sharp, and he said loudly:
“The book that Pindao is looking for is “Tai Ping Yao Shu”.”
After talking so much, Zuo Ci finally got to the point.
Cao Cao was also a little hesitant, and then said in surprise:
“What the Taoist priest is looking for is the Taiping technique?”
Zuo Ci nodded with certainty and determination.
Cao Cao was speechless now.
