Chapter 117 Xu You
"My son is now a general, so he must be careful about the principle of being a general. Don't think about what should not be considered, and don't care about what should not be taken care of."
Mrs. Wu said, "You are a general, so you just need to fight. You must not be careful. Cao Gong is fearful, and immortals are even more respectable..."
When Sun Ce heard this, he sighed helplessly: "Mother is right, the child knows."
Mrs. Wu said, "It's good to know. Look at this time, Huang Gongfu and others will not go with you, and Zhou Gongjin even mentioned it. Cao Gong must have other arrangements for them, asking you to lead the troops, and you just need to lead the troops..."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wu hesitated for a moment: "Although Wei Niang is a wife, she now knows a truth. Cao Gong has the help of immortals, and the world is in his pocket. And my Sun family wants to pass on it from generation to generation, so it is better to be close to immortals. But the premise is to gain Cao Gong's trust, otherwise you can't see the immortals. You must have a clear idea in your heart."
Sun Ce nodded silently.
Cao Mengde decided to send troops to Guanzhong and prepare for everything. However, Yuan Shao might as well send an envoy to come.
The envoy was Cao Mengde's old acquaintance, Xu You and Xu Ziyuan.
"Oh, it turns out to be Ziyuan!"
Cao Mengde was happy about Xu You's arrival, but at the same time, he was also guessing Yuan Shao's intentions.
Xu You said: "Meng De, I haven't seen each other for many days, so it's always good?"
The two of them put their arms inside and each took their seats.
Cao Mengde said: "Ziyuan was wandering and enjoying happiness at the beginning of his life, why did he suddenly come to my place?"
Xu You said: "I didn't want to come. Hebei is prosperous and I lingered. But after I came, I felt that this was not in vain. Unexpectedly, Meng De, you, Yanzhou, have experienced the Yellow Turbans and Dong Zhuo, but have not seen each other for several years. It is not worse than Jizhou. In my opinion, it is much better. Especially some novelties are quite difficult for me to understand."
Cao Mengde beat him up: "What's wrong with me? If I'm short of food, I won't say anything, and 100,000 to 80,000 stones are no problem."
Xu You said: "There is no shortage of food. Since the first year of this year, the Jizhou harvest is not less than 100,000 or 80,000."
"Oh?" Cao Mengde nodded with a smile: "That's true. My high-yield and high-quality varieties in Yanzhou have not been banned. It is the right thing to not lack food at the beginning, and I think too much."
Xu You smiled and said, "It's amazing to say that your good seed is really good. I said you are stupid. If you were born, you would have hidden it and not be allowed to wander."
A trace of surprise flashed in Cao Mengde's eyes: "Brother Benchu asked Ziyuan to come, what's the matter?"
"Oh, that's the case."
Xu You said: "I heard that a true immortal came to the world, and I was originally eager for it. So I asked me to come and ask Meng De."
Cao Mengde suddenly realized.
It turned out to be for Zhao Yu.
Cao Mengde's heart turned around and smiled on his face, "Where did Benchu hear the rumors?"
"rumor?"
Xu You shook his head and said, "Why do you have to bully me? No matter your high-yield and high-quality varieties or your fine steel weapons, they are not ordinary things. Especially the mountains along the river in Yanzhou are actually raised, which is beyond human capacity. Meng De, you, me, my first-time, my childhood friend, why should you do this?"
Cao Mengde smiled and said, "It was wrong in the beginning. The earth was born in high mountains, and the changes in the world. High yields and good varieties were cultivated by farmers. The fine steel and armor were also the achievements of craftsmen. How can a true immortal come from?!"
There is indeed no true immortal. Even Zhao Yu himself denied that he was an immortal, but he was just a monk of the immortal family. Therefore, Cao Mengde was not a lie.
"You..."
Xu You pointed at Cao Mengde and laughed: "Okay, I won't say anything about the big cart that fell from the sky?"
Cao Mengde was slightly stunned and then relieved.
This Puyang City must be inseparable from the suspicion of all forces, which is inevitable. During this period, the style of the motor vehicle traveling several times, and the style of falling from the sky was not visible unless it was a blind man. Compared with high-yield and good varieties, it can still be shirked, but this motor vehicle that can fly is beyond explanation.
Cao Mengde suddenly realized: "Oh, I said that I was the first to say that the true immortal, so it was for this."
He smiled and said, "It's not a true immortal, but a respected immortal cultivator who has not yet become an immortal."
Xu You was so angry that he said: "Good you Cao Mengde, give me a sloppy eye."
Then he changed his words and said with a smile: "Since there is an immortal family, it is a blessing for all heaven. The three kings of the fourth generation of Benchu, as the general of the Han Dynasty, are willing to invite the immortal family to see him in Hebei."
Cao Mengde shook his head repeatedly: "How can people in the immortal family be extraordinary and extraordinary, so how can they be revealed in front of others at will? Even Taoist priests in the mountains and fields are not minions who will be summoned immediately. What they did was really disrespectful."
Xu You didn't care: "The so-called immortal family is a bit of magical power, probably it's the same. Otherwise, you, Cao Mengde, have already wiped out the world. How can you, the great general, be the first to summon? Mengde, don't worry, just tell me where the immortal family is, and I will invite him."
Cao Mengde sneered in his heart - he thought beautifully.
But he said regretfully: "I don't know where the immortal family is. Whenever I meet, it is the immortal family who comes to see me, not the immortal family."
"Meng De, Meng De, you don't blink your eyes when you lie." Xu You hesitated: "There is a cloud of clouds and mountains more than ten miles outside Puyang. You often go in and out. Could it be that the Immortal Cave?!"
Cao Mengde smiled and said, "It turns out that Ziyuan already knows it."
"How to not know."
"Where do you know, how can you see me?"
"Meng De is a landlord, what should I do if I don't see Meng De?"
Cao Mengde's heart turned, but suddenly smiled and said, "Well, if you want to go, where can I take care of the affairs of the immortal family?"
Then he walked away with a look of his sleeves: "I see that Ziyuan is busy, so I won't leave Ziyuan."
Xu You's face froze and he stretched out his hand to speak, but Cao Mengdeye had already left.
Cao Mengde thought as he walked: "Mr. Zhao's affairs were earth-shaking and difficult to cover up, which was also expected. Unexpectedly, Yuan Benchu was so arrogant and sent Xu Ziyuan to him. Hey, he must shoot himself in the foot. Xu Ziyuan is so arrogant, so he can't even think about entering the door of another courtyard!"
He also thought: "Since Yuan Benchu knows, Liu Jingsheng may not have known about Yuan Highway. I think he should send an envoy to come."
......
Taihe Villa.
Zhao Yu was indeed much more leisurely during this period. He sent a group of disciples away and had also refined the magic weapons. In addition to accompanying Zhao Ji every day, he occasionally instructed Guan Hai and others to practice martial arts, and he was happy.
And his own cultivation is also slowly but steadily improving.
Whether it is the previous refining of weapons and talismans, studying talismans, car and ships, or elixirs, it is actually a sorting and confirmation of his own cultivation. In this process, analyzing talismans, forbidden methods, and applying the principles into reality, the things obtained are not much more than meditation and enlightenment.
Immortal cultivators seek eternal freedom, and whether they refine alchemy, talisman formation, or magical powers, they are actually all the details on this road. But the most important thing is to prove the Taoist practice.
