Valkyrie Returns

The early spring morning is still chilly, and the cool mist rises from the bottom of the feet.

Since becoming Prime Minister, how many years has Cao Cao not been back to the fiefdom of Pei State, not to mention that the local wealthy clan bosses don't know, even he himself can't remember clearly.Ever since Cao Cao changed his surname to Xiahou, the rise and fall of the two families have been in the same place for a long time. No matter how scheming Cao Cao is, he can't help but sigh when he sees the familiar and unfamiliar faces of the elders in front of him.

Since Chen Liu started his army until now, only this time when he came back, what he brought was not gold and silver, not high-ranking officials and rich salary, but only the sky full of white powder and the dark red sandalwood coffin.In the end, Xia Houyuan was not able to be buried with Cheng Yu, because the poison melted the skin and corroded the bones, and melted Cheng Yu's thin body into a puddle of muddy water in less than half a day, even the ashes were not left behind.The mournful sorrow and joy traveled through the mist, slid across the criss-crossing fields, and fell straight into Cao Cao's heart. He couldn't help asking himself over and over again when did he start to feel that he couldn't tolerate others at all?

The Xiahou clan was originally a prominent local family, and the one who died this time was a direct descendant, so the etiquette of the ashram is naturally very complicated.Xiahou Dun stood in front of the incense table with a blank expression while holding his younger brother's spirit card, kneeling down and standing up again and again following the Taoist who performed the ritual.With his martial arts, it was just such an empty ritual of kneeling on the spirit, it was very easy, but within half an hour, Cao Cao noticed a slight trembling of his back that was always straight in front of him.Zhang Jai stood quietly on the porch in plain white, personally receiving the guests who were coming and going, with no emotion visible on his delicate profile.

The sharp and eerie voices of the Taoists made Cao Cao's headache feel like it was about to burst.He raised his hand and pressed his forehead slowly, and walked towards the inner hall.

"Wen Ruo, the Liangpi tofu in Peiguo is very special. The time for worshiping the spirit is very long. How about eating something first? You are not in good health, so don't get sick from starvation. You just don't listen to advice and stay in Xubu with peace of mind." Are you okay?" Cao Cao's voice was not loud, and there was exhaustion that could not be concealed between the ups and downs.

Xun Yu was about to drink tea, when he heard Cao Cao's voice, he threw the whole teacup at his feet annoyedly: "Cao Mengde, you are so hard-hearted, I am not even qualified to send him the last journey after Zhongde left." No? Zhongde is a low-key and cautious person. He has never made any mistakes, but now he just went there quietly. Have you ever had even a little bit of introspection? Even if it is a piece of ten thousand-year-old ice, it should be covered for so many years It’s getting hotter, you are no better than a beast! Tomorrow you will direct your troops to attack Wujun, and if I say one more word, I will be smashed to death on the beams and pillars of the Xudu Hall."

Cheng Yu died inexplicably, and Xun Yu hadn't closed his eyes at all these days, and this time his blood was surging, he felt dizzy and about to fall down on the broken porcelain all over the floor with a thud.Cao Cao hastily took a stride, hugged him in his arms, and rolled to the ground.The sharp tiles pierced the skirt of his clothes, leaving several bloodstains on Cao Cao's back in an instant.He didn't bother to check his injuries, but when he lowered his head, he saw Xun Yu's face was pale, and his lips were limp and limp on his body.

Unprecedented fear wrapped Cao Cao.For him, Guo Jia may be irreplaceable, clean and transparent, representing all the beauty in years of war, but the real pillar will always be Xun Yu.From important military and political affairs to family and mansions, Xun Yu's opinion has always been the most important and what he needs most.Asking Xun Yu for his opinion on major and minor matters has become a habit that has been etched into his bones over the years. Just like water and air, they may not be noticed when they accompany each other every day, and once they lose it, the blow will be the heaviest.

Cao Cao supported his dazed body and carried Xun Yu into the hall.The dojo for offering sacrifices to the spirit is still going on, countless indescribable syllables are gushing out from the mouth of the Taoist priest who is performing the ceremony, Cao Cao's eyes are blackened from the shock, the plain white mourning hall, the oppressive smell of incense sticks and paper money hits his nostrils , Cao Cao forced himself to calm down and whispered: "Junyi."

Zhang Jaw turned his head in astonishment, his black and white eyes fell directly on Cao Cao's pale cheeks, and he smiled warmly with sculpted eyebrows and handsome eyes: "My lord, when you killed Master Yang that day, did you expect that there would be relatives who would avoid the general today?" The predicament of centrifugation? When the lord Qianli Juechen was only looking for a box of crispy cakes, did he ever think that it was this box of crispy crisps that made Cao Wei fall apart?"

Speaking of this, he opened his jaw abruptly and smiled, and his eyes fell on Xiahou Dun's stiff back: "I am afraid that a person like you will never know what kind of affection is counted as liking, even if it is for Fengxiao, at best It's just the most primitive desire and possession. As long as you are still in charge of Cao Wei's great cause and have the ambition to dominate the country, I can turn a blind eye. But since you have to let go of the final bottom line, why should I force myself to continue Follow you like this happily? When Brother Yuan is buried, we will leave. Don't worry, we will not take anything away, let alone go to the enemy. I only hope that the lord will practice virtue diligently in the future and always remember the well-being of the people It's not in vain that Yuan Rang and I have worked half our lives for you."

When Cao Cao heard this, he finally couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood: "Junyi, are you even going to leave?"

Zhang Jai put the incense candle in his hand beside Xiahou Dun, and shook his head gently: "It's not me, it's Xiahou who wants to leave. He's afraid that if he doesn't leave now, he won't be able to hold back against you in the future. He's even more afraid that he won't have the face to go to see Xiahou's family. His ancestors, so he can only go, since he wants to go, I will not let him down, the sky is high and the sea is wide, let him go."

Cao Cao raised his eyes to look at Xiahou Dun, but his voice could not stop trembling: "Yuan Rang, do you hate me?"

Xiahou Dun turned around slowly, with no expression on his resolute side face: "Without you, I would still be that wild boy who farms and farms in the countryside. How could I hate you? I'm just not reconciled, not reconciled to me and my brother Years of bloody battles are nothing compared to a Guo Fengxiao who has already abandoned you. How ridiculous and sad, and how cruel it is for a military division to be missed and loved by people like you. The sadness and helplessness of the military commander drinking alone on the moon? In your many years of taking things for granted, it hurts everyone who believes in and follows you. You take it for granted that you use everyone's blood and pain to pile up the strength and prosperity of Cao Wei. But today, you want to overthrow all this and let everyone start over just because of your own remorse?"

The struggle and pain in Cao Cao's eyes were ready to come out, but the word "no" could not be said from his parched throat.Perhaps unknowingly killing Zhou Gongjin with his own hands has become Guo Jia's last obsession after he left. The hard work and friction still left blood dripping in his stiff heart, and his stubbornness injected the last trace of warmth into them.Even if this slight warmth will soon turn into a poisonous poison that pierces the intestines, he is willing to do so.

So far, it is unsustainable.Looking at Cao Cao like this, Xia Houdun suddenly couldn't bear to look away subconsciously. He knelt upright on the futon for offering sacrifices to the spirit, but his eyes slipped to the exquisite collarbone and smooth and elegant shoulder blades with his open jaw inappropriately, and his lower abdomen felt hot.Zhang Jaw's fair and lustrous neck seemed to carry a breathtaking magic power, Xiahou Dun raised his head slightly, with a wry smile on his lips, maybe he was just a young boy trapped in love.

A cold wind came from nowhere, the candles in the mourning hall were flickering, the square-holed paper was raised high, and the slender fingertips of Zhang Jaw jumped over the shadows and gently stroked Xiahou Dun's face: "Yuan Rang, don't laugh if you don't want to laugh." .And I will always be by your side. No matter when you look back, I will stand quietly behind you and never leave."

The author has something to say: I originally wanted to write a side story about Cao Cao and Guo Jia, but after checking the information, I was shocked by the number of Cao Cao's sons.Abuse him decisively, what a scumbag!

Cao Cao's party beware!
