The next day, the morning sun shone through the window on Yao Maoyu's face. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the strange environment around him, his heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness.
Sima Shi saw Yao Maoyu wake up and walked over with a smile.
"You finally woke up. This is my home. Yesterday you were drunk and I was worried that I would let you go back alone, so I brought you back."
Yao Maoyu rubbed her eyes and tried hard to recall what happened last night.
He only remembered drinking with Sima Shi, but things became blurred afterwards.
"It's bad, did I miss a big deal?" Yao Maoyu said, "Thank you."
Sima Shi handed Yao Maoyu a glass of water.
"Drink a sip of water first, it will make you feel better. If you still feel uncomfortable, I can call the doctor to come and have a look."
Yao Maoyu took the water cup, took a few sips, and felt her throat moisturized.
He looked at Sima Shi and felt a sense of gratitude in his heart.
"Brother Sima, you are so good. I must have caused you trouble yesterday." Yao Maoyu said.
Sima Shi smiled.
"Don't say that, we hit it off at first sight, we are friends. Friends must take care of each other. There is no need to worry about you. I have a friend who knows Cao Pi and will arrange for you to meet at that time."
Yao Maoyu was immediately surprised.
"Are you saying true?"
"Of course it's true. Let's rest here with peace of mind, and the meal has been prepared for you."
Yao Maoyu was very happy.
Soon, a table of food stopped in front of him.
Since Sima Shi wanted to stay here to take care of Yao Maoyu, he was also monitoring him.
Therefore, Sima Zhao can only complete the task of going to the tailor shop alone.
Sima Zhao hurried to the tailor shop, which was filled with the aroma of fabric and needlework.
"Young Master, you are here, the things have been made."
The boss handed Sima Zhao the packaged clothes and carefully brought out a gorgeous python robe and an exquisite hat.
Sima Zhao took the clothes and carefully checked every detail, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He asked the boss seriously again: "Have you disclosed this to anyone?"
The boss shook his head quickly and answered firmly.
"I promise not, young master. Your affairs are the highest secret to me, and I will never tell anyone."
Sima Zhao nodded slightly, but there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes.
He knew very well that this matter was of great importance and could not allow any mistakes.
At this time, the atmosphere in the store seemed a little nervous, like a tight string.
Sima Zhao was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Very good. If there is any mistake in this matter, you will know the consequences."
The boss's forehead was sweating and nodded repeatedly.
"Please rest assured, I will definitely keep my mouth shut and there will be no mistakes."
Sima Zhao turned around and left, his steps firm and decisive.
The clothes in his hand seemed to carry a huge burden, and every step seemed particularly heavy.
Sima Zhao found the gardener.
Sima Yi handed the clothes to the gardener and said firmly: "This is Cao Pi's clothes. You must be full of temperament after putting them on, imitating his walking posture."
The gardener took the clothes and looked a little nervous.
"I...I don't know if I can do it."
Sima Zhao encouraged: "You can. Remember to take every step confidently and be as majestic as Cao Pi."
Then, Sima Yi taught the gardener in detail how to speak and have the temperament of a king.
He emphasized the calmness of his tone and the conciseness of his words, allowing the gardener to practice continuously.
The birds in the courtyard seemed to be attracted by their conversation, and stopped on the branches and listened curiously.
Sima Yi looked at the gardener, and a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes.
"You have to make people believe that you are Cao Pi, and there is no flaw. And time is particularly urgent."
The gardener took a deep breath and nodded.
"Young Master, I will do my best."
"It's not about trying your best, it's necessary to do this."
Sima Zhao gave him an hour and must do it completely, otherwise he would consider his family.
The gardener then performed well.
An hour passed, and after continuous practice, the gardener finally reached the level of Sima Zhao's relatively satisfied.
At this time, Sima Zhao decided to let the gardener wait in the house, and then he went to find Sima Shi.
Sima Zhao hurriedly walked through the courtyard and walked towards Sima Shi's room.
When Sima Zhao found Sima Shi, his tone was filled with excitement.
"Brother, can you speak out?"
Sima Master nodded and finally said to Yao Maoyu: "Then I will lose my companion first."
Yao Maoyu nodded.
The two brothers came to a pavilion outside.
"Brother, the gardener is ready. Let's go and see how he performs."
Sima Shi nodded slightly and followed Sima Zhao to the house.
Entering the house, Sima Zhao signaled the gardener to start displaying.
The gardener took a deep breath, then took confident steps, imitating Cao Pi's posture.
His voice was low and magnetic, as if he had really become the majestic prince.
Sima Zhao and Sima Shi looked quietly, with a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
They exchanged a satisfied look and were very satisfied with the gardener's performance.
Sima Shi smiled and looked at the old gardener with satisfaction, saying, "I did a good job, and I knew I had read the wrong person. Your performance was excellent!"
After hearing Sima Shi's praise, the old gardener showed a gratified smile on his face.
He said modestly: "Thank you for your praise, this is all the best teachings of the young master."
Sima nodded and said firmly, "Now we have to act immediately. I am going to find a few servants who pretend to be soldiers, and we will go to the mountain to wait."
After saying that, Sima Shi turned around and walked out of the house quickly, staring at Yao Maoyu behind him.
Sima Shi said, "Brother Yao, as far as I know, Cao Pi is going to take a few soldiers to the mountain to worship today. We might as well take this opportunity to go quickly."
When Yao Maoyu heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's go quickly. Thank you very much."
The people arranged by Sima Shi had quietly taken their place on the side of the mountain. They were dressed in soldiers' clothes, with a serious and vigilant expression.
Sima Shi and Yao Maoyu were walking on the road to the edge of the mountain, and Sima Shi deliberately slowed down.
While walking, he observed the surrounding environment, as if thinking about something.
Yao Maoyu asked in confusion: "Brother Sima, why don't we speed up?"
Sima Shi replied with a smile: "The scenery around here is so beautiful, why don't we enjoy the scenery slowly?"
Yao Maoyu had no choice but to nod and agree to his request.
On the other hand, Xi Yu and others continued to set up camp.
He was surrounded by rows of soldiers waiting for the troops, holding weapons, quietly waiting for the order.
He said: "Brothers, wait for a moment and don't attack the city easily. We must wait for news from Yao Maoyu, but we must not take it lightly. We must always be vigilant and guard against the enemy's attack!"
"King, we know." A soldier replied immediately.
But Xi Yu always has a bad premonition.
He felt that Yao Maoyu might not seem to be able to accomplish this.
Finally, Sima Shi and Yao Maoyu came to the hills, and the breeze blew on the corners of their clothes.
Around the hill is a lush garden with flowers blooming and a fragrance.
Sima Shi pointed to the gardener not far away and whispered to Yao Maoyu: "Look, that's Cao Pi."
Yao Maoyu looked in the direction of his finger and saw a majestic person there, with many soldiers around him.
Yao Maoyu hurried to the fake Cao Pi, holding the letter of persuasion in his hand, with a nervous and firm expression.
The fake Cao Pi raised his head and looked at Yao Maoyu.
"You are Gong Cao. I am here to send you a letter under the order of King Xi Yu."
Yao Maoyu took a deep breath and handed over the letter of persuasion.
"This is for you, I hope you can think about it seriously."
The fake Cao Pi took the letter of persuasion and slowly opened it.
"Oh, you are the person around Xi Yu"?
His expression began to change, and he gradually showed an angry look.
The fake Cao Pi asked with a hint of anger in his voice: "What does this mean? Do you think I will surrender easily?"
His eyes were full of hostility, and he stared at Yao Maoyu tightly.
Yao Maoyu straightened her body and responded without retreating.
"This is a chance to give you aside the fight and avoid more blood and destruction." His voice was firm and steady, trying to convince the fake Cao Pi.
The air around seemed to solidify, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
The sun shines on them through the gaps of the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow.
The fake Cao Pi kneaded the letter of persuasion into a ball and threw it hard on the ground: "I will never surrender! Don't think about it!"
His anger was like a burning flame, making people feel an invisible pressure.
A few fake soldiers next to him pretended to be very angry.
Yao Maoyu looked at the fake Cao Pi quietly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"You are so stubborn, it will only bring more pain. Don't you want to think about the people?" He tried to convince people with reason and aroused the conscience of the fake Cao Pi.
The fake Cao Pi sneered.
"People? I will do whatever it takes to make a bigger goal!" His eyes were firm and decisive, and there seemed to be no possibility of any wavering.
Yao Maoyu sighed in his heart. He knew that the difficulty of persuasion would greatly increase in the face of such a determined opponent.
"Since that's the case, then you can do it yourself."
Finally, he left with Sima Shi.
Yao Maoyu turned around and planned to leave, but heard Sima Shi said, "Brother Yao, let's go slowly. It's better to sit in the mansion for a while, let's have a few drinks and have a chat. I got the same thing as you at first sight, and I really can't bear to part." Sima Shi's voice was sincere and enthusiastic.
Yao Maoyu stopped and looked back at Sima Shi, with a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and replied, "Since Brother Sima is so kind, I'm better obey my orders than respect."
Sima Shi led Yao Maoyu into the mansion, and the two had a great conversation along the way.
Sima Shi ordered people to set up banquets, and fine wine and delicacies were served one after another.
Yao Maoyu and Sima Shi sat opposite each other.
Sima Shi filled a glass of wine for Yao Maoyu, raised his glass and said, "Brother Yao, this wine is a good wine I have treasured for a long time. Drinking it with you today is a great pleasure."
Yao Maoyu raised his wine glass and responded: "Brother Sima, you are polite. It is also my honor to be able to get to know you."
In a cheerful atmosphere, they savored the wine while talking about the world's major events and their ideals in life.
Sima Shi did this, of course, to buy time for the fake Cao Pi.
Because Yao Maoyu had to bring a fake letter back.
The fake Cao Pi, also known as the real gardener, is now waiting for a while outside under the orders of Sima Shi.
He can only go back after the matter is completely handled.
His own cultural level is limited, so writing letters is not easy for him.
In the study in the mansion, Sima Zhao was writing quickly.
He wrote a letter full of insults and jokes in the tone of Cao Pi.
The language is so unpleasant and staggering.
After writing the letter, Sima Zhao called a servant and whispered: "You go and tell my brother and say that it has been written, and he will understand what's going on."
At this time, Sima Shi and Yao Maoyu were drinking happily in the banquet hall.
Laughing and joy came one after another. Just as Sima Shi and Yao Maoyu were having a happy conversation, a servant quietly walked to Sima Shi, put his lips close to Sima Shi's ears, and whispered.
Sima Shi's face suddenly became serious.
He put down his wine glass and said to Yao Maoyu: "Sorry, Brother Yao, I need to deal with something important."
Yao Maoyu nodded in understanding: "Brother Sima, please let me wait here."
Sima Shi came to Sima Zhao's room.
"Brother, have you written it?"
Sima Zhao nodded, so he handed over the letter.
After reading the letter, Sima Shi particularly admired his younger brother's literary talent.
"My brother's writing is wonderful and beautiful, which makes people amazing. My brother's writing is like the stars shining, which makes people amazed."
"Brother is too good, how can you say that you are as good as you said?"
In fact, Sima Zhao is also very confident in his literary talent.
Sima Shi read this letter and he could feel the charm of the language above.
If he were Xi Yu, he would definitely be so angry that he would explode, so Xi Yu would hate Cao Pi even more.
He will definitely come to attack Cao Pi so that he can avenge their brothers.
They must not let Xi Yu let Cao Pi go, so they must stop Cao Pi from surrendering.
"Brother, I'll send the letter to Yao Maoyu."
Sima Shi went back immediately. Of course, he could not send the letter directly. He had to get Yao Maoyu drunk.
Sima Shi immediately returned to the room and said with a smile: "Something was delayed just now, let's continue drinking."
Yao Maoyu raised his wine glass and drank glass after glass, with a satisfied smile on his face.
His love for wine is beyond words.
Gradually, Yao Maoyu's eyes began to be blurred and his body tilted involuntarily. In the end, he fell unconscious on the table, unconscious.
Seeing this, Sima Shi was overjoyed and hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Hurry up, carry him into the room and place him."
He felt that this person was so easy to fool. He didn't expect to be fooled like this.
The servant followed the order and carefully lifted Yao Maoyu and sent it to the room.
Sima Shi followed behind, showing a sly smile on his face.
The next morning, the sun shone through the window on Yao Maoyu's face. He slowly opened his eyes and felt a split headache.
There was a person sitting by the bed, and it was Sima Shi.
"Brother Yao, it's right that you didn't leave yesterday. Cao Pi sent a letter last night."
Yao Maoyu rubbed his forehead and tried hard to recall what happened last night. He vaguely remembered that he drank a lot of alcohol again and then became unconscious.
He frowned and asked in confusion: "What did you say? There is such a thing? Where is the letter?"
Cao Pi handed over a letter, and Yao Maoyu took it and took it.
A hint of doubt surged in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.
Yao Maoyu got up, dressed up and said, "Okay, I'll go back and report now."
He felt that he had made a big move, and Xi Yu would definitely praise him.
"Since that's the case, I won't be able to keep it for me."
In this way, Sima Shi sent Yao Maoyu out.
Yao Maoyu left Sima Shi's mansion with a letter, and Sima Shi's plan was also proceeding smoothly.
Sima Shi came to Sima Zhao's room with a brisk pace, with a joyful smile on his face.
Seeing this, Sima Zhao asked, "Brother, has the matter been done?"
Sima Shi smiled proudly and said, "The matter has been done. That guy Yao Maoyu is simply too stupid!"
After hearing this, Sima Zhao couldn't help laughing: "Haha, Yao Maoyu was fooled so easily."
In the room, the sun shines on the ground through the windows, forming light and shadow.
Sima Shi said, "I was worried that he would doubt something halfway through the way."
"Don't worry, brother, he is just thinking about making contributions now, and he probably won't react."
Sima Shi thought what his younger brother said seemed to make some sense.
Next, the two people's faces were very embarrassing again because they thought of their dead father Sima Yi at the same time.
They thought Cao Pi was really not to be jealous of death.
Yao Maoyu was very happy. This time, not only did the work be accomplished, but he also met Sima Shi, the good brother.
By the way, I just know that the person’s surname is Sima, but I don’t know what he is Sima.
Why am I so stupid? I didn't ask.
Forget it, what's the use of these now? I'll see them later.
As night falls, the city gate is brightly lit.
Yao Maoyu was in a hurry. He couldn't wait to rush to the military camp with the important letter in his arms.
Walking into the barracks, the bonfire illuminated the surroundings.
Xi Yu stood beside the fire, focusing on the map.
Yao Maoyu quickly stepped forward, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"King, the matter has been done." Yao Maoyu said with joy.
Xi Yu raised his head and his eyes fell on the letter in Yao Maoyu's hand.
"It's so good, please tell me the letter."
Yao Maoyu handed the letter to Xi Yu, and his heart was full of expectations.
Xi Yu took the letter, approached the bonfire, and read every word carefully. His expression gradually became serious.
He didn't expect that the language above was particularly bad. It shouldn't be like Cao Pi's style.
So he looked at Yao Maoyu.
"Tell me the specific things."
Yao Maoyu told about the related matters.
"To be specific, who is the Sima Master you are talking about?"
Xi Yu seemed to realize something.
If you don't have any guesses, that person should be Sima Shi.
Chapter completed!
