When it is an ugly moment, this time is often the most time to sleep.

The thieves who crow and dogs steal things, and the thiefs who pick flowers do something that cannot be described often at this time.

The lights in Cai’s mansion have already gone out.

There is only one pavilion, which is still brightly lit...

Under the moonlight, through the window, Cai Zhaoji was sitting in front of the table and writing something.

She has always had a dream to write down all the three thousand books collected by the Cai Mansion and the works of various schools of thought.

In the past, while Dong Zhuo and Li Ru burned the imperial capital in Luoyang, they also burned the collection of books in the Imperial Academy together. Collecting these books was the lifelong effort of my father.

Cai Zhaoji has always had a dream in her heart, wanting to rebuild the Imperial Academy one day and let the scholars all over the world have another sustenance in the hearts of them.

She only mentioned this dream of rebuilding the Imperial Academy once to her younger brother Lu Yu...

However, I can only mention it, it is too difficult to put it into practice.

Not to mention the reconstruction of the Imperial Academy, just writing down the lost ancient books, Cai Zhaoji, who never forgets it, also needs to spend a lot of energy, and come one by one, one by one.

She often forgets the time as soon as she writes, and writes until late at night.

"Oh, today I am so sorry that I have not recorded all the poems and books in a silent way!"

A faint sigh...

As if tired, Cai Zhaoji put down the brush in her hand and murmured...

But my eyes looked at these words again but were filled with emotion: "The familiar words carry my father's memory. When my father left, I will only be my relative, Yudi, in this world."

Cai Zhaoji actually has a sister, but... I haven't seen each other for a long time since I left in Luoyang. In this era of chaos, my sister is likely to have...

"Oh..." Sighing helplessly, Cai Zhaoji was cheering up, and she planned to write another volume.

Just then.

There was a sound of door opening and footsteps outside, and then someone asked the door. "Have Lu Gongcao already gone to bed?"

"My son has already fallen asleep."

"But... Cao Gong has an order, I will ask Mr. Lu to go to Cao's Mansion immediately..." The voice became quick.

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhaoji suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes full of confusion and shock...

what happens?

etc…

Is the elder brother back? Cai Zhaoji was stunned... She knew her brother's personality a little bit, and she seemed to never walk at night? Is this... I rushed back overnight? And... I specially invited my younger brother Lu Yu to come over?

This... must be an urgent matter, right?

Thinking of this, Cai Zhaoji suddenly stood up and walked out the door quickly.

The soldier saw her and hurriedly saluted. "Miss Cai, I'm really sorry... But... Cao Gong has ordered him to see Mr. Lu immediately, this..."

"Have a moment, I'll call him..."

As he spoke, Cai Zhaoji walked towards Lu Yu's house gently.

…

At this time, Lu Yu's bedroom was very quiet. There were too many things happening these days, and he was thinking about how to help Cao Mu break off the engagement...

Lu Yu did not sleep soundly.

Cai Zhaoji has always been afraid that Lu Yu would not sleep well.

I also know that my younger brother is a critical period for growing up and he must sleep more.

Therefore, she specially ordered the servants to be absolutely silent after nightfall.

Even the maid who serves the house must not make any sound after Lu Yu's younger brother is asleep.

Occasionally, Cai Zhaoji will come to check...

Of course, you will occasionally hear some strange sounds.

Tonight, a tiny sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside Lu Yu's bedroom. Although he deliberately lowered his footsteps, the sound still came into the inner room.

Soon, the voice of the soldier came from outside. "Who? So bold... Miss Cai has ordered, at this time..."

Halfway through his words, the soldier was speechless because... Cai Yan appeared in front of him.

"Brother, please come over...I say there is something urgent!"

Cai Yan's gentle voice came...

Suddenly, Lu Yu, who was still asleep just now, suddenly got up and was awakened.

Lao Cao is back? He is back at night?

Lu Yu didn't know if this was a dream? He immediately stroked his forehead and felt touch... Old Cao, who was suspicious by nature, could actually walk at night. Isn't that scientific?

Lu Yu is still thinking about it...

But the sound outside became clear.

"I'll call me brother Yu..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yu had already put on his clothes, put on a robe, and hurriedly walked out. He was just coming towards Sister Zhaoji.

Seeing Sister Zhaoji's slightly tired cheeks... Lu Yu immediately understood that his sister probably also wrote ancient books late at night!

Lu Yu said with a reproachful look on his face. "Sister Zhaoji, how many times have you told you that don't stay up late, it's not good for your health."

"You go to bed early, I'll go back! When I come back, I'll check if you're asleep!"

After blurting out some words... Lu Yu went to the outside of the door.

He had long been looking forward to Lao Cao's return, and he was looking forward to the stars and the moon.

It's already three months now, and no matter how late... it will catch up with the drought and locust plague. At that time... what will he use to attack Puyang City?

He walked out quickly and got on a carriage. The sound of horse hooves resounded particularly in the darkness, and the group immediately drove towards Cao's mansion!

…

…

Cao Mansion, study room.

Cao Cao had been waiting for Lu Yu here for a long time. Because there were too many question marks in his heart, he was not at ease and paced left and right... from time to time he looked out the window.

Until the rushing footsteps came.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Cao rushed back to Chenliu County at night..." After entering the study, Lu Yu immediately bowed.

Cao Cao turned around and waved his hand. "Sit..."

He first knelt on the side of the table, while Lu Yu knelt on the other side. The soldiers escorted had already retreated, and Cao Cao and Lu Yu were the only ones in the study.

"Do you want to drink some tea to bring down the gods?" Cao Cao filled a bowl of tea for Lu Yu.

Lu Yu waved his hand, "No need..."

Immediately afterwards, he rubbed his eyes and cheered up a little. "It can be considered that he has come back to Cao Gong."

Cao Cao knew what Lu Yu meant by this sentence, and this kid was still worried about attacking Puyang City.

Of course, there are too many questions about Lu Yu in Cao Cao's mind now, and this is also an item, and he plans to ask each other one by one.

"Tell me... why are you so anxious to attack Puyang City?"

Cao Cao leaned forward with a point.

"Also, you are so weird lately. You have opened an oil shop with Mr. Wei, and asked Yuan Rang to post a notice to catch locusts, and asked Cheng Yu to store grain at a high price. You also bought seeds of dry rice and rice, chickens, ducks, and frogs everywhere.

When it comes to poultry, these are extremely strange. Is it related to the urgent attack on Puyang City?"

Lu Yu never underestimated Cao Cao. In Yanzhou, his every move could not be hidden from Cao Cao's eyes. Of course, Lu Yu did not want to hide it from it.

For example, the gold and silver robbers of the tomb were left behind by Lao Cao, who asked him to keep half of the gold and silver for military funds.

But... this time, Cao Cao asked several questions in succession, and Lu Yu was wondering how to answer them?

There is a severe drought in the Central Plains in April, locusts flowing in the seven states in June, and crops are out of harvest in July... In what form should be told to Cao Cao in the "Zizhi Tongjian" and convinced him?

Lu Yu is still thinking.

Cao Cao's words followed one after another. "Lu Gongcao, it's not the first day we met. I understand your nature. Everything you do has a purpose, and it will never be based on your preferences and for no reason!

”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's tone became more solemn. "Our army is now short of food and is restricted by food and grass. However, Lu Bu's army is full of food and grass and waits for work. Now, the urgent attack on Puyang City is far inferior to the rapid attack on Puyang after the bumper harvest in July.

The city has a great chance of winning, and you can see this, let alone you?"

Cao Cao paused for a moment, and the last sentence was said with a smile. Obviously, he had no intention of blaming Lu Yu.

"Tell me, no matter what the reason, I want to hear it! Why are all this you do?"
