Chapter 315: The Curse of the Nation! [Subscribe]

There was a young man in the yard with a dark face and a thin body.

His hands were covered with calluses and he was wearing worn-out straw sandals.

In the setting sun, he squatted on the steps to the yard, holding a large ceramic bowl and slurping noodles.

The young man was in his early twenties, dressed simply in a long linen coat.

When Chen Ying came in and saw this scene, her heart was moved.

This is... the Emperor?!

Before Liu Xie, his brother Liu Bian was imprisoned in the palace by Dong Zhuo. He was originally doomed to die, but suddenly disappeared from the palace.

Yuan Wei, who was also imprisoned at the time, immediately saw the opportunity.

As long as the former emperor Liu Bian was still in power, Dong Zhuo's newly appointed emperor Liu Xie would not be able to sit firmly on the throne because he had come to the throne illegitimately.

His cruelty will be restrained and he will not act recklessly.

Yuan Wei saw hope of survival in this.

After that, Cao Cao left Luoyang and gained secret support from Yuan Wei and others.

Many people suspected that Cao Cao stole the emperor, but there was no evidence.

Over the years, no one has found any clues or traces related to the emperor.

The night the late emperor disappeared from the palace, it was as if he had been wiped out from the world, and there was no such person anymore.

Chen Ying once thought that Cao Cao taking the emperor away might have been a wrong judgment.

Until now.

The young man in front of you is Liu Bian.

Liu Bian disappeared for nearly seven years.

He saw Cao Cao come in, with fear, awe, and a hint of gratitude on his face.

"King Wei!"

Cao Cao signaled him not to be so polite.

Liu Bian quickly drank the last mouthful of noodle soup in the bowl, checked to see if there was any residual soup residue, and then put the bowl on the stone table beside him and said in a low voice:
"You are looking for me, is there something?"

“I have lived a pretty stable life these past few years…”

He tactfully expressed that he didn't want to have anything to do with the past.

Cao Cao: "I just want to meet you and talk about how you have been these past few years."

"The land you gave me has a very good yield."

Liu Bian's tone was a little more excited: "After leaving the palace, I had my first good sleep and ate the food I grew myself for the first time.

The millet I planted is growing well..."

The emperor slowly recounted his experiences over the past few years.

He worked in the fields in spring and autumn, and was drafted to repair and dig canals.

The calluses on the shoulders are caused by lifting wood, and the calluses on the hands are formed by long-term labor.

Chen Ying gradually understood.

Cao Cao put him in the crowd and made him one of the ordinary people.

Or maybe the emperor wanted to live a peaceful life after experiencing imprisonment and life-and-death dangers.

The vast sea of ​​people and tens of millions of common people served as his cover, so there was no trace at all.

As long as Cao Cao doesn't tell anyone, no one will be able to find it.

From another perspective, he lived under Cao Cao's policies and experienced the same ups and downs as ordinary people.

Liu Bian talked for a while, and suddenly stammered, "If you hadn't come to see me, I would rather the past was a nightmare."

"If you need, I can write a letter of abdication... I will follow your arrangements for everything."

On his way here, he kept thinking that the only value he might have was that after Cao Cao became king, he wanted to become emperor and wanted him, the former emperor, to write an edict to abdicate.

Cao Cao said: "You are wrong.

If you must say there is something wrong, then I would like to ask you, what happened to the Taoist priest Shi Zimiao back then?"

"He raised me when I was a kid."

Liu Bian pondered and said, "I can't quite remember the things from my childhood.

In my impression, he is very kind...

Later, the person who threw me to Dong Zhuo was not him. Although the appearance was the same, after I left the palace, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. The Taoist priest in the palace did not look like a human. "

"When he grabbed me, his hands were as cold as ice. I remember clearly that Master Shi's hands were very warm."

"What else?"

Liu Bian thought for a long time: "It seems... when he was a child, there was a Taoist priest who came to see him. His last name was Zuo... That's all I remember."

Cao Cao thought about it and changed the subject:
"Do you want to live in Yecheng? I'll give you a house and two shops facing the street, and you can be self-sufficient. Or, do you want to go back to where you used to grow your own crops?"

Liu Bian blurted out: "Of course, go back to the original place."

He wanted to stay away from Cao Cao and not be involved with him.

"When I go back, I will be like other people, remembering your kindness. You gave us food to eat and land to farm. Everyone says so. We hope you can win the battle."

"it is good."

Cao Cao nodded: "If you encounter problems that you can't solve, you can come to me."

Liu Bian agreed repeatedly, just wanting to leave early: "If you are okay, I will go back now?"

Cao Cao agreed and asked someone to prepare a car for him.

Liu Bian seemed relieved at this moment, and suddenly said: "I remembered something, I want to report it!"

"Ok?"

“You asked us to farm, but someone secretly coveted our land.

I don't know if it was because of your care that the local government gave me a cow. Because they didn't want to give them more grain for farming, my cow had one leg broken. I took care of it for several months, but now the leg is still broken."

"They try every way to threaten the surrounding farmers and me, trying to take more of my grain. You have to control it."

Cao Cao: "I know what you said. You can go back without any trouble. I will give you another cow."

Liu Bian heaved a long sigh, and walked briskly, ready to go out, but then he stopped and turned back:
"I actually have a secret that I haven't told anyone, but I want to tell you."

"This is a secret that only every emperor before me knew.

It is said that it was handed down from the time of Emperor Wu to protect the descendants and suppress the fate of the country. When it came to Emperor Shizu, he continued the country and also mastered this secret. "

"I learned this from the late emperor...my father. He said that it can be used when encountering a crisis that cannot be resolved."

Cao Cao showed some interest and waited for the emperor to continue.

"That secret is about the Scarlet Sky Sword."

"The secret passed down by our ancestors is called the Scarlet Sky Curse, also known as the National Curse.

Although Chi Xiao was taken to Emperor Wu's mausoleum, according to the legend passed down, through the Chi Xiao Curse, Chi Xiao can be summoned to break the ground, kill all evil spirits, treacherous people, and protect the country. "Liu Bian swallowed his saliva. "Then why didn't you use it when you were imprisoned by Dong Zhuo?"

"I tried it and secretly recited it many times, but there was no movement from the Scarlet Sky Sword. I suspect that it has been passed down from generation to generation and something went wrong, so it is no longer effective."

Liu Bian said: "Otherwise I would have cut Dong Zhuo into eight pieces long ago."

Cao Cao rolled his eyes and said, "You've tried it and it doesn't work, so why are you giving it back to me?"

Liu Bian: "This is the only thing that has something to do with the past. I feel relieved now that I have told you."

"Then tell me."

Cao Cao asked someone to prepare writing materials and Liu Bian went to a small room and wrote it down, then gave it to Cao Cao separately.

Just two sentences.

The first sentence is the inscription on the national seal: Mandated by Heaven, long life and good health;

The second sentence is: I follow the will of heaven and lead Chixiao with the emperor's blood!
There is also a sword technique that uses both fingers, which can be used in conjunction with each other.

"When my father passed it on to me, he said that Emperor Taizu had tried it and it worked, but then something went wrong and neither I nor my father could use it."

Liu Bian finally said a few words to Cao Cao, then felt relieved and left happily.

Cao Cao left the courtyard and asked Chen Ying, "We have trained a team of secret agents and personal guards in recent years, all of them are women. Are you in charge of that?"

Chen Ying: "The King of France said that it would be more convenient to train a group of female personal spies to protect the ladies."

Jia Xu's code name was King of Law, which was given by Cao Cao, and the secret agents strictly implemented it.

"You can arrange for someone to marry Liu Bian, and don't let him know that she is our man. Monitor him, protect him, and report his affairs to us regularly."

Cao Cao said something.

This was his usual idle move.

It’s best if it’s useless. If it’s useful, it may produce unexpected results.

Cao Cao also told Jia Xu to make some arrangements and secretly protect Liu Bian for a period of time.

The reason was that Cao Cao had just talked about Shi Zimiao, and then he had an idea. Based on the past few times when those Taoists appeared, Cao Cao suspected that those Taoists were stealing luck, and the emperor or a leader was their target.

The emperor received some news showing that the illness and death of Liu Yan and Liu Biao were also quite strange.

Cao Cao thought that since Liu Bian had shown up here, perhaps a Taoist priest would approach him to check if he still had any luck left.

"Also, let's check the foreign preacher who came here before. How many preachers have come to our Han land? What are they doing?"

Jia Xu and Chen Ying received the order and went there together.

The yellowish sunset glow passed through the gaps in the window lattice and fell into the room.

A woman sat behind a low mat, her back straight, her long black hair hanging down and her hairpin removed.

She has an extremely delicate face, and the skin on her wrists and hands is snow-white, tender and delicate.

The woman took off her outer robe, skirt and embroidered shoes, revealing her delicate little feet, stepping on the soft wool blanket.

She took off her undergarment, and her whole body seemed to be made of jade, with straight and well-proportioned legs and a breast as round as a full moon.

It's getting late.

She was going to take a bath and then go to sleep.

The woman had a slightly sad look on her face and sighed quietly.

Then he suddenly felt his body lose balance and someone picked him up by the waist.

The woman was shocked for a moment, but then she hugged the man who was holding her and said coquettishly, "Husband."

The woman is Zou Yuan.

"What worries you so much that you sigh?"

Zou Yuan has always been afraid of powerful and majestic people.

In this family, she wanted to be close to Cao Cao, but was also a little afraid of him, so she shook her head quickly: "I'm not worried, it's just that most of the sisters in the family are pregnant.

When their husbands are away, they each take care of the children..."

"You want to get pregnant too, why don't you put in some effort?"

"How do you work so hard?" Zou Yuan asked.

"I plow the land, and you work as cattle and horses."

……

When Zou Yuan fell asleep exhausted, Cao Cao didn't mind the trouble and went to Diao Chan's room.

The sky is full of stars.

Diao Chan's physique is different from that of ordinary people, so Cao Cao usually won't move after coming here.

early morning.

He got up first and went to the quiet room to practice as usual to promote his own cultivation.

He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his body lifted up in the air by a stream of energy.

In recent years, the spiritual charm between heaven and earth has been changing and becoming more and more profound.

During his practice, Cao Cao's soul, like a true dragon, suddenly soared up and traveled among the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers.

The dragon was flying over Yecheng, breathing in and out.

Hundreds of thousands of people in the city gathered together to form a purple aura that was absorbed by Him like an upside-down river, and then spit out again, exchanging the destiny of humanity with all living beings.

The so-called attracting people's support is the emperor's practice and the next step of evolution for the totem dragon.

The hint given by the entry is that by gathering people's support, one can become a king and then an emperor.

At the time when heaven and earth were first separated and light and darkness merged, Cao Cao ended his cultivation.

He sat there, thinking for a moment, then remembered the Chixiao Curse that Liu Bian had mentioned and decided to give it a try.

He chanted a spell and made sword gestures with his hands.

However...there was no movement, no reaction at all.

[Red Sky Sword Curse, use conditions: You have the luck to bless you. Push the national seal, divide the luck, and bless the sword curse, then the sword curse can be promoted to take effect. After use, the Red Sky Sword will return to the tomb of Emperor Wu.]

It turned out to be the case.

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and beckoned.

In the front hall, the luck from the national seal came through the air.

Suddenly, one hears a loud dragon roar, the national seal shakes, and purple air surges like a tide.

Cao Cao chanted the sword spell again.

But there was still no movement.

[The Scarlet Sky Sword has sensed the sword curse, but it is unwilling to pay attention to you]
