Chapter 65

Liu Xiu takes Deng Zhan back to his residence and temporarily lets Deng Zhan serve as his guard.

For Liu Xiu's arrangement, pound did not interfere.

Liu Xiu is 18 years old, and his practice is calm. Pound believes that Liu Xiu can handle things well. What's more, Pang Degong is Liu Xiu's teacher. He doesn't want to interfere in everything. He just gives Liu Xiu a general direction and reminds him not to go in the wrong direction.

At night, Pang Degong, wenpin and Liu Xiu went to Sikong mansion together.

The carriage galloped and stopped at Sikong mansion.

Cao Cao's Sikong mansion is very close to the Imperial Palace and is located in the north of Xu county. However, the decoration is magnificent, but it is not empty.

After Liu Xiu handed in the invitation, he went to the hall under the guidance of his attendants.

At the door of the hall, the attendant waved for the three to enter, then turned and left.

Pound straightened his clothes, lifted his robe and stepped into the hall. Liu Xiu and Wen pin, one left and one right, followed closely, also entered the hall.

The left and right sides of the hall were full of people.

On the left side are civil servants, and on the right side are military generals.

However, when Lord pound entered the hall, all the officials in the hall were drinking and eating meat with their heads down. No one looked up at all.

In that case, it seems that in the eyes of all civil and military officials, the three of them are not as important as the food on the plate.

Obviously, this is the downfall of Cao Cao.

Pound's face was as usual, and he strode forward.

At this time, Cao Cao was very active and said, "Pang Gong has come all the way here. It's a long journey and hard work. Come on, take a seat

The attendants came forward and took Pang Degong, Liu Xiu and wenpin to their seats.

A seat for three, on the left.

Among them, Pang Degong was the first on the left, while wenpin and Liu Xiu were behind him.

Pound looked around the crowd and saw that all the people were still drinking and eating meat. He acted separately and had a bottom in his heart. He is sitting in a state of anxiety and does not care about what is in front of him.

When he was sent to Xu county, Mr. pound had already expected that he would encounter difficulties.

Such things are expected.

Liu Xiu sat behind Pang Degong, looked up at Cao Cao's familiar face, and then scanned Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun you, Cao Hong, Cao Ren and others.

The faces of these people are still so familiar.

Goodbye today, it's different.

In the last life, Liu Xiu was a prisoner on the stage; in this life, Liu Xiu was not a prisoner on the stage, but a dignified envoy.

Liu Xiu took back his eyes and suddenly sneered twice.

The sound broke the silence in the hall, and the atmosphere changed.

Cao Cao's eyes fell on Liu Xiu. He was also looking at Liu Xiu. After learning about Liu Xiu, Cao Cao knew that Liu Xiu was not simple, and he had a heart of love for talents.

However, we have to try to find out the specific ability.

Cao Cao's eagle Falcon eyes were very sharp, and asked: "Liu Xiu, why do you laugh on such a solemn occasion? Do you think I'm ridiculous? "

The words, with doubt, are full of dignity.

Pang Degong frowned slightly. He had already told Liu Xiu not to act rashly.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu took the initiative as soon as he came up.

Although there was some worry in Pound's heart, there was a trace of expectation in Pound's heart. His disciple always plans before he moves, and he won't do it easily.

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Mr. Sikong, I'm laughing because I think of an allusion. I think it's suitable for the situation, so I can't help laughing."

"What allusion?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

Liu Xiu looked around and said slowly, "I like reading. I see an allusion in an ancient book. This allusion says that when the Phoenix comes, Kirin knows how to stop and greet. Only those stupid and ignorant donkeys and mules will keep their heads down and continue to eat. "

In a word, there was an uproar.

One by one, the generals glared at each other and were murderous.

Civil servants, too, have angry eyes.

Liu Xiu's words, directly hit them in the face, and it was slapping.

Cao Cao's eyes, showing the look of interest, did not expect Liu Xiuhui to say such words. All the officials bowed their heads to drink and eat meat. Isn't this just a response to donkeys and mules? Clearly, it's aimed at all the things that people bow their heads and don't welcome.

It seems that he is not a loser.

However, the sensitivity of this reaction made Cao Cao appreciate it very much. This bold color was quite extraordinary.

"Lord Sikong, I think of an allusion in my humble position."

In the crowd, a middle-aged man with elegant appearance and handsome face spoke.

Liu Xiu's heart moved when he saw the comer.

The name of the person who got up was Yang Xiu, the son of Taichang Yang Biao, who served as Cao Cao's director.

In history, Yang Xiu took part in the fight between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi to win the throne. However, his cleverness was wronged by his cleverness, which annoyed Cao Cao. When Cao Cao led his army to attack Hanzhong, he killed Yang Xiu with the help of chicken ribs."What are the allusions in master Yang's book? Let's hear them."

There was a smile in Cao Cao's eyes.

It is true that Yang Xiu, like Yang Biao, is a member of the emperor's family. However, Yang Xiu was under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao. Yang Xiu took the initiative to come out to rescue, Cao Cao's heart is also a burst of joy.

What's more, Yang Xiucai is quick in thinking. Maybe he can really compete with Liu Xiu.

Yang Xiu turned to Liu Xiu and said, "I'm Yang Xiu!"

paused, Yang Xiudao: "what's next is the allusion of Phoenix Tree Wutong. In ancient times, a sage planted a Wutong tree, hoping to wait for Phoenix to return. Unexpectedly, the Phoenix did not come, but three or two sparrows. The wise man thought, is it not a laughing stock for sparrows to fall on the Wutong tree? After thinking about it, the sage picked up the catapult and shot the sparrow away, letting it go back and forth from where it came from. "

"Ha ha ha, well said, well said!"

"It's worthy of being Yang Xiu. He's quick in talent and thinking, which is admirable."

"itself is a sparrow, but wants to fall on the Wutong tree, laughing and laughing, laughable and ridiculous."

In the hall, a burst of laughter, one after another.

Yang Xiu arched his hand and returned to the seat, with a proud smile on his face.

After a while, Cao Cao waved and said, "be quiet!"

In the hall, it was quiet again.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Xiu, how about the allusions of master Yang?" Words, with a trace of pleasure and expectation. Happily, Yang Xiu's counterattack is very good, but he looks forward to Liu Xiu's reply.

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it's easy to laugh!"

Yang Xiu's anger rose in his eyes and said, "how to make a smile?"

Liu Xiu said with a light smile: "I have made it very clear in my allusions. Only Kirin recognized the Phoenix. Mules and donkeys are ignorant. Even if they see the Phoenix, they think they are sparrows. "

"This sage wants to drive away the sparrow. He thinks he is right, but he doesn't know that he missed the Phoenix."

"One leaf blinds the eye, so it is."

Liu Xiu sighed twice and sighed: "the mule is ignorant. The donkey is stupid. It's natural that he can't see the true face of the Phoenix. It's understandable. Otherwise, isn't Kirin gone everywhere? This is exactly the difference between mules, donkeys and unicorns. "

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched slightly. At the same time, he felt that Liu Xiu's mouth was quite tricky.

In a word, he flattered the unicorn.

In fact, it also dealt a severe blow to Yang Xiu and other civil and military generals, which was not a simple means.

Liu Xiu's face was calm, and his face was neither humble nor overbearing. He continued: "as the saying goes, people should not be judged by appearance, and the sea water should not be measured. That's the truth. After you go back, master Yang, please polish your eyes. Otherwise, you will have no eyes. What's the use of coming here? "

Yang Xiu clenched his fist, but he couldn't refute it, so he had to sit down.

After hearing this, pound felt very happy.

"The envoy of Jiangdong is here!"

Suddenly, at the door of the hall, there came the loud voice of the servant.

Liu Xiu followed the voice to see, only to see the gate, an old man with a clear face, striding forward.
