Chapter 485 Kill People and Destroy Their Hearts, Shi Xie, You Are My God!
"Your Majesty, think about it slowly. I'm afraid I won't be able to send that old servant to Your Majesty today. Your Majesty may have to celebrate the New Year by himself tonight."
Cao Cao looked at the pensive Liu Xie and knew that his psychological attack had worked. He was about to get up and leave. Just when he was about to walk out of the room, Liu Xie's voice finally sounded behind him.
"etc."
Cao Cao raised a smile on his lips, but suppressed it all after turning around.
"Is there anything else your Majesty can do?"
Liu Xie's lips trembled, as if he was making a lot of determination. Cao Cao did not rush to urge him, but stood quietly at the door waiting for Liu Xie. Dian Wei stood at the door, his burly figure blocking the entire door. Cao Cao couldn't blow the wind at all.
After a long time, Liu Xie finally spoke.
"I can promise you, but I have one condition. Send back the eunuchs and maids you brought with me before. You must have no shortage of charcoal fire and food. Then I will promise you."
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with joy, but he did not show it, but said quietly.
"Your Majesty, I believe you haven't understood the current situation. Even if you don't agree, I can still pass on the imperial edict. The Imperial Seal is no longer in your hands. As for your seal, wasn't it all given to you by me? ?”
These words made Liu Xie take a breath. He knew very well that what Cao Cao said was true. Even if he disagreed, it made no difference. After realizing this, Liu Xie originally wanted to say more Something like that, and finally shut up.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Cao Cao laughed heartily.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, although the facts are like this, don't you know yet? The truth has always been true to its word, and there will be nothing less than what you should have. As for those people your Majesty wants, it is a pity, Your Majesty said It was too late. After they were taken away from His Majesty, they were clamoring for life and death one by one. In this case, the truth had to satisfy them and kill them all. Therefore, these people could not be given, but they could be killed from other sources. I need to find some people to serve His Majesty. It’s been a long time since I came here, so Your Majesty should be used to it.”
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he didn't give Liu Xie a chance to continue talking and walked outside. Liu Xie was left sitting alone in the room blankly, holding the hand stove in his hand absentmindedly, with tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
His heart was filled with despair and powerlessness, and he understood that he was just a puppet in front of Cao Cao, a manipulated shadow emperor. He had tried to resist and take back his own power, but every attempt ended in failure. Cao Cao's power was too huge. He had many counselors and generals, but Liu Xie had no one around him.
Cao Cao's laughter gradually faded away, but Liu Xie's ears seemed to still be filled with the proud echo. He closed his eyes and tried to calm down, but the anger in his heart only grew stronger. He hated his own incompetence, hated Cao Cao's arrogance and domineering, and even more hated the injustice of this world.
Liu Xie held the stove tightly, and the weak warmth seemed to be his only support. He knew in his heart that he had to find a way out. He was still useful now, so he could live safely and soundly, but the day he lost his usefulness would probably be the time for his death.
In the biting cold wind, he began to plan in his mind, thinking about how to break this endless bondage. The cold wind kept beating at him, keeping him awake.
Liu Xie knew that his own strength alone was not enough. He needed foreign aid and found those ministers who were still loyal to the Han Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei's figure jumped out of his mind. The clan member whom Cao Cao regarded as a powerful enemy and who was canonized as the Lie King by himself.
He took out several letters from under his pillow. They were all letters he sent to Liu Bei for help and Liu Bei's replies to him. Seeing this, Liu Xie finally stopped looking decadent and regained some energy. Then he took out the hand stove in his arms, burned all the letters, and added some fuel to the hand stove.
Liu Xie thought clearly. Liu Bei is now powerful, and his reputation for benevolence has spread throughout the world. He and Cao Cao will have a battle in the future. Liu Xie's current goal is to survive until that day, and see what he will be like then. Can the puppet emperor be of any help?
If you want to continue living, you must show more obedience in front of Cao Cao to reduce Cao Cao's wariness and gain more time and space for yourself.
Thinking of this, Liu Xie no longer curled up on the empty bed, but stepped out of the quilt and closed the door with his own hands. Since the wind was really strong and he was weak, he spent a lot of effort to close the door. Then he sat down on the bed slumpedly, wrapping the hand stove around his body, greedily absorbing the little remaining warmth.
After solving the problem with Liu Xie, Cao Cao was obviously in a good mood. He and Dian Wei were walking and talking. They said they were talking, but in fact it was Cao Cao who was talking and Dian Wei was listening. Then Dian Wei would reply angrily from time to time, but Both of them enjoyed it.
"Dian Wei, do you know that what happened today is the first step in our fight for world supremacy."
Cao Cao said as he walked, his eyes flashing.
Dian Wei nodded. Since he was promoted to a legendary general, Dian Wei is no longer as stubborn as before and his mind has become more active. However, when he is around Cao Cao, he still habitually does not think.
"Although His Majesty is young, he is very scheming. Letting him bow his head today is just the first step. In the future, I will wipe out all the few ambitions in His Majesty's heart. Want to wait for Liu Bei to save him? That's fine. Let’s see if he can survive until then, and let’s see if Liu Bei can fight back.”
Cao Cao smiled slightly. He knew Liu Xie's helplessness and despair, but at the same time he also saw the unyielding feeling in Liu Xie's heart. He chose Liu Xie at that time because Liu Xie's thoughts were deeper, and the reason was the same as before. , an emperor who does whatever he says is too boring.
Dian Wei frowned when he heard this. He understood Cao Cao's worries and knew Liu Xie's potential.
"Prime Minister, why do we need to get his consent? Why don't we just issue the imperial edict ourselves?"
Dian Wei said with some confusion, Cao Cao glanced at Dian Wei with a smile.
"Asking him to agree is not to be able to issue an imperial edict. Whether he agrees or not, the imperial edict will be issued on the Lantern Festival. Asking him to agree is just to take advantage of this opportunity to sharpen his spirit. He thought he was trying to advise Liu Bei in private. , I don’t know, in fact, all of Liu Bei’s replies were written by Xun Yu.”
At this point, Cao Cao suddenly laughed loudly.
After finishing laughing, Cao Cao looked at Dian Wei.
"Why don't you ask me why I'm laughing?"
"My lord, you can laugh if you want."
Dian Wei laughed along with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao laughed even more when he saw this.
"You know, just now I saw the letters written by Xun Yu under His Majesty's pillow. Hahaha, you say it's funny or not, but the hope he relies on for survival actually exists from beginning to end. It's really I want to see what his expression will be like when he knows the truth, hahaha.”
When Cao Cao said this, he suddenly remembered a movie he had watched before entering the game. There was a sentence in it that said very well, kill people and kill your heart!
Then Cao Cao's laughter became louder and louder, and his voice shook the sky, interspersed with the crackling firecrackers on Xudu Street, making it difficult to distinguish.
Yangzhou, Wujun, Sun Jian, Miao Moqing and others have just returned here. They didn't stop all the way from Jiaozhi County, rushing at full speed, and finally got back before the New Year.
The New Year atmosphere in Yangzhou, which has experienced several wars, is much worse than that in other continents. Even Yizhou's joy is stronger than that in Yangzhou.
Several counties are in ruins. The refugees have no place to live, so they can only flock to the counties to the east of Yangzhou. Now these counties to the east are overcrowded, and plague will easily occur when there are too many people. Fortunately, here It's winter, so even if someone dies on the street, it won't have any impact.
Sun Jian has already ordered the opening of granaries. When Jingzhou is captured, won't there be as much food as you need? Moreover, there was excess food from Shixie and it was being transported to Yangzhou in a hurry. In short, everything was developing in a good direction, so Sun Jian was still in a good mood.
Coupled with the fact that he had many beauties as companions, as well as Miao Moqing, a beauty who was alluring the country, all the melancholy that Sun Jian had had disappeared.
On the way back to Yangzhou, Sun Jian and Miao Moqing had a great conversation. After all, Sun Jian was a modern person. With his modern knowledge, he had no trouble chatting with Miao Moqing. He made Miao Moqing laugh so hard many times. , there is also some invisible progress in the relationship between the two.
But it was only limited to the close relationship. Sun Jian could not forget the utensils he had seen in the Gu tribe, and there was no man in the entire tribe, not even a baby boy. So how did they continue the family line?
Sun Jian felt chills on his back just thinking about these problems, so he simply stopped thinking about them and just enjoyed the moment.
After arriving at his mansion, Sun Jian swept out all the rooms in his mansion with a wave of his hand. More than 500 voodoo girls all lived in Sun Jian's mansion.
The purpose of Sun Jian's move is also obvious. After all, a group of beauties are dangling in front of his eyes. The reason is enough to be eye-catching, not to mention that these are a group of beauties with online strength and beauty? Coupled with their special characteristics, Sun Jian couldn't let them go elsewhere.
"Clan leader, the mansion is simple and crude. I hope the clan leader doesn't mind it."
Sun Jian said with a smile to Miao Moqing beside him. Miao Moqing smiled brightly, her voice still soft.
"Lord, compared to our residence, this mansion is even better than a fairyland."
"Hahaha, the clan leader is mocking me. To be honest with the clan leader, after a while, after the war starts, I'm afraid it will be good if I can have a tent to rest. I still need the clan leader's forgiveness."
"My lord, what I said is even more outrageous. We usually go into the mountains to collect herbs. If we can't get back in time, we have to spend the night in the mountains. We can't be as good as the pristine mountains."
"That's not true. Since the clan leader has said so, then I don't have to worry about the clan leader and his Gu Masters."
Sun Jian said with a smile. Along the way from Jiaozhi County to Wu County, Sun Jian felt more and more that Miao Moqing and the more than 500 Gu masters under her command were simply his lucky stars. Shi Xie was really guarding a golden mountain and still calling for poverty here.
If he had received help from Miao Moqing early on, he probably would not have been reduced to the point where he only has Yangzhou territory now. For example, in the Battle of Xuzhou, he would not have lost to Liu Bei, let alone an army of hundreds of thousands attacking 10,000. It’s a joke that even Jiangling City, which was garrisoned with people, could not win.
The two of them walked outside Miao Moqing's room, talking and laughing. When Miao Moqing was about to enter the house, Sun Jian suddenly stopped Miao Moqing.
"Clan leader, I have an unkind request."
Miao Moqing was slightly stunned. It was the first time that Sun Jian spoke to her in this tone, which made her curious about what kind of request Sun Jian had. She smiled and said, "My lord, please tell me. As long as I can help you, I will do my best."
Sun Jian heard this, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "I heard from Bo Fu that the nobles have items that can help people improve their strength. I wonder if the clan leader can provide some to us to help our army be invincible on the battlefield."
Miao Moqing looked at Sun Jian with a smile, as if she had guessed Sun Jian's purpose.
"My lord, to be honest, the three given to Mr. Cao are all. That thing is not owned by our Gu clan, but I got it by chance."
After the voice fell, Sun Jian was visibly disappointed. He originally heard Sun Ce say that Miao Moqing gave Cao Zhang some items that could improve his strength. He also wanted to ask for some for his generals, one is to use it as a trump card, and the other is to have a stronger combat power on the battlefield.
Looking at the lost Sun Jian, Miao Moqing pondered for a moment and continued.
"However, I can select some poisonous insects suitable for the battlefield for the lord to use. But please remember, although the poisonous insects are good, they cannot be abused, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Sun Jian was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Don't worry, clan leader, I will use them carefully and will not abuse them, please rest assured, clan leader."
"Lord, there is another most important point. Although the poisonous insects can provide benefits and make your subordinates stronger, these poisonous insects have other effects."
"Other effects?"
Sun Jian looked at Miao Moqing in confusion. Does this poisonous insect have side effects?
"What is the effect?"
"Different Gu worms have different effects. The stronger the ability provided, the stronger the other effects of the Gu worms will be. For example, the Gu worm under your feet can make people faster, but it will make people thirstier. Another Gu worm is called embers, which can double the combat power of the parasite in a short period of time, but it can only last for half a quarter of an hour, and after half a quarter of an hour, the parasite will bleed to death. There is also a Gu worm called annihilation, which can make the next attack of the parasite a sure kill, but after that, the flesh and blood will burst."
Miao Moqing looked at Sun Jian seriously. She felt that she had made the price very clear, but Sun Jian's eyes did not retreat at all, but became more fiery.
"No problem, clan leader, we have a lot of captives to use, they are the best Gu worm users."
Sun Jian's voice was trembling with excitement. He just wanted to shout now, Shi Xie, you are my god!
