Chapter 17 is great [Seeking follow-up reading]

"No."

In the palace, Yu Qing looked at the two words that appeared on the beads with disappointment, and asked unwillingly: "Then can you help me inform my family?"

"No."

Cao Cao on the other side repeated indifferently.

Without knowing the situation, he couldn't agree rashly, even though Concubine Yu was not only beautiful but also had a very taboo identity.

Besides, Cao Cao's refusal was a small means to control the initiative of the conversation.

If the other party is really in a hurry to ask for help, he will explain the reason himself. Cao Cao can know more about the inside story and analyze his intentions, so as to further take control of the conversation.

He is like this by nature, likes to take the initiative, and is like this towards people and things.

What's more, he still had some doubts about Concubine Yu.

Why did Zhang Rang take her with him when he left the palace, apart from the emperor and the two brothers of the Prince of Chenliu?
Because she's pretty?

But what’s the use of looking good to eunuchs?

It was unreasonable for Zhang Rang to take Concubine Yu with him when he fled.

Cao Cao asked Xiao Xiang to investigate Concubine Yu's background and to remain vigilant against her until he got the exact information.

The bedroom of the imperial palace.

After being rejected for the second time, Concubine Yu stood up from the window in frustration, went to the couch and sat sideways, bent her long legs, rested her chin on her knees, stared at the beads, and wrote: "I will repay you, my family can provide whatever you want.

Including myself, I am willing to do my best. ”

However, Zhuzi stopped moving and Cao Cao ignored her.

Yu Qing waited for a while, then got down from the couch, wearing embroidered shoes. Her fair and delicate feet appeared and disappeared under her skirt.

She paced in the room, a thoughtful expression on her face, but she was already gorgeous without realizing it:

"It seems that we need to give him some more benefits..."

study.

Cao Cao withdrew his gaze from the beads.

He didn't know if it was because of his paranoia, but he felt that Concubine Yu was trying to seduce him.

She mentioned repaying something twice. It's easy for a beautiful woman to think of something wrong when she takes the initiative to do so.

Especially Yu Qing, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the previous emperor's harem.

Of course, it is also possible that Cao Cao was overthinking it and was simply being suspicious and self-indulgent.

However, Empress Dowager He was notorious for her jealousy and had poisoned Emperor Ling's concubines.

However, Emperor Liu Hong favored Concubine Yu the most during his lifetime, but he had never heard that she was targeted by Empress Dowager He.

Cao Cao thought for a moment and thought that if Concubine Yu was really seducing him, she would be exposed sooner or later.

……

Cao Cao took the beads and turned on the cheat again.

[4218/5000]

[After reaching 5,000 reputation, you can upgrade your talent to listen to the battlefield]

Cao Cao tried to listen to the battlefield, and his hearing ability suddenly improved.

Within a radius of about thirty steps, even the slightest movement was heard by him.

The young tiger in the yard was dozing off and smacking its lips. Xiao Xiang and his four bodyguards, who were standing solemnly outside the door, had their heartbeats slightly faster than normal people.

This shows that they are always prepared to deal with unexpected events and have not let their guard down just because they are in the mansion.

Under the bluestones in the yard, small insects were crawling, trying to break through the soil.

There are also the footsteps of servants walking in the courtyard next door...the world created by sound is so wonderful.

Cao Cao took advantage of the situation and began to practice. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered through the fontanelle, which not only increased his strength but also increased his luck and reputation.

The military training is divided into the following levels from low to high: brave soldier, sharp soldier, tiger guard, great warrior, chariot guard, spearman, and halberd holder.

However, these realms are still in the stage of body refining, and require constant physical training.

Other schools also have similar levels to divide up practice, most of which are divided into nine realms, collectively referred to as the Lower Nine Realms.

When one surpasses the lower nine realms and is able to communicate with heaven and earth, one begins to develop various mysterious methods, which are called supernatural powers.

Cao Cao had previously used a military strategy to secretly cross Chencang, and Jingzhao Yin Gai Xun had used the words of the sage on the top of the city wall.

Lu Bu destroyed a camp of a thousand people with one spear, which was a level of supernatural power.

The most obvious sign of this level is that the internal Qi and the power of heaven and earth outside the body have exceeded the limits that ordinary people can achieve.

Cao Cao had an extraordinary talent for literature. Before he traveled through time, he had already reached the point where he could derive magical powers from his literature.

But in addition to hard physical training, the practice of military strategists also requires experience in commanding troops in battles, breathing in the atmosphere of the battlefield, in order to complete the "job change" from "soldier" to "general". Cao Cao before had just touched the magical power of the "general" level.

Now he used the spirit and soul to practice, using the fontanelle to directly attract the innate spiritual charm, and wonderful things happened.

In his sleeves, there were two bamboo slips, one of which was Han Xin's handwritten military scrolls.

And there is also the 'Heavenly Book' of mysterious origin!
These two volumes of sacred military artifacts responded to the spiritual charm of heaven and earth that Cao Cao was attracted to, and emanated wisps of energy from each of them and merged into his body.

In the sea of ​​consciousness between Cao Cao's eyebrows and in the dantian in his lower abdomen, corresponding to his literary and martial arts talents, two lavender, extremely complex spells were cast.

The sea of ​​consciousness above is the power of cultural talent, as if it were gathered from countless words.

The dantian below is composed of the military strategist Han Xin's military manual and the aura of the heavenly book, like a miniature military formation.

Moreover, these two spells became clearer and clearer due to the spiritual energy introduced through the fontanelle.

Cao Cao's thoughts moved slightly, and the two groups of energy visualized in his sea of ​​consciousness and dantian then collapsed and merged into all parts of his body, circulating and merging with the human body's meridians.

His bones, flesh, tendons and skin seemed to be integrated with the spiritual charm of heaven and earth and were growing.

Xiao Xiang at the door looked back and felt again the feeling of the heaven and earth sinking and tilting towards where Cao Cao was when he was practicing. He was secretly shocked.

He had never seen anyone who could induce such obvious energy of heaven and earth while practicing before.

Even the tiger cub in the yard was awakened from its sleep and looked towards the study room with its tiger-like head.

Half an hour later, Cao Cao stopped practicing.

He actually felt that his height was increasing, as if some kind of transformation was taking place inside his body.

Cao Cao called out the plug-in and performed a self-check:

……

【Contextual Talent: 91.1】

[Military Talent: 81.5, the combination of civil and military talents derives the military strategy: Listening to the battlefield; initially mastering the military strategy: Sneak into Chencang]

His talents in both civil and military aspects have improved, which are obviously the changes brought about by absorbing the energy of Han Xin's handscroll and the Heavenly Book.

Given Cao Cao's identity and future development direction, his own military strength does not seem to be that important because he may not necessarily use it.

But you don't have to use this thing. If it comes useful, it might even save a life.

This practice caused mysterious changes in Cao Cao's body.

He has reached the level of supernatural powers in both civil and military aspects, which feels great.

After stopping his training, Cao Cao said to Xiao Xiang: "Go to Xun Yu and ask him to go to Ding Yuan to lobby and offer advice. Continue to deal with Dong Zhuo. Don't delay. The sooner you start, the better."

Xiao Xiang agreed and went to find Xun Yu in person.

In the study, Cao Cao began to deal with military affairs and write strategies for training troops.

As we all know, Cao Cao was well-versed in military books and even annotated Sun Tzu's Art of War in his later years. Although he was not cautious in using troops due to his temperament, he was well-versed in military theory and had a broad vision.

The methods of training soldiers he wrote were comprehensive, well-cited, and had his own innovative insights.

In two quarters of an hour, Cao Cao wrote an article on thirteen methods of training soldiers.

Not to mention the content, the elegant official script on paper alone is already a masterpiece of contemporary times.

He put down his pen, put aside his strategies for military management and training, called people in, and moved a large box in front of him.

Inside was the eunuchs' egg-adding technique, or a secret scroll with a long history. He planned to take a look at it when he had some free time.

But before he could open the box, a servant came to report: "Someone sent a name card and left a message, hoping that you can visit when you are free."

Cao Cao looked at the name card and saw it was Wang Yun.

This old man had a sharp nose and must have known what happened at the north gate that morning. He wanted to know the details and invited Cao Cao to come over.

Wang Yun is very important in dealing with Dong Zhuo.

But Cao Cao didn't plan to go now.

He could guess what Wang Yun wanted to know, so he wrote a letter and sent someone to deliver it to Wang Yun.

After a while, Xiao Xiang returned to the mansion:
"As you expected, Xun Yu agreed to cooperate and fight against Dong Zhuo together. He is now going to find Ding Yuan."

Cao Cao went to the palace again in the afternoon and was summoned by the Queen Mother. When he returned home, it was getting dark, so he did not watch the egg-adding technique and prepared to go to bed after washing up.

The bead that Concubine Yu gave to him, however, lit up a faint light before going to bed: "Is Dianjun asleep?"

There was no response. After a moment, new words appeared on the bead: "General, please sleep well!"

Cao Cao didn't reply and fell asleep.

I didn't want to get up early the next day, and the bead produced another message: "Did Dianjun get up?"

Cao Cao was worried, thinking that a female demon seemed to be targeting him.

At this time, Xiao Xiang said outside the door: "Sir, someone is visiting."
