Chen Gong and Cao Mengde have been in love for many years.

However, since Cao Mengde took over the governor of Yanzhou and gradually took control of Yanzhou, some of Chen Gong's behaviors and biases gradually deviated from Cao Mengde's wishes during his governance, which made Cao Mengde quite unhappy.

Just like Chen Gong refuted Cao Mengde's "regardless of origin".

This is not the first time.

Cao Mengde agreed with Zhao Yu's idea. Perhaps Chen Gong's thinking was really old. He thought that without aristocratic families, Cao Mengde would not be able to accomplish anything.

Zhao Yu’s meaning is very clear, he is to take the initiative to act as a pusher. And he chose Chen Gong.

For Cao Mengde, this has little to do with him. He felt that if Chen Gong really came to that point, he would definitely make Chen Gong fail and let Chen Gong see that he did not need aristocratic family, and he was like Cao Mengde.

At that time, Chen Gong has nothing to say, so he will come back to do things.

However, Cao Mengde did not have the ability to know before. He probably never thought that in the original history, not only Chen Gong deviated from him, but even Zhang Miao deviated from him. He even defeated Lu Bu and the important city of Yanzhou, but even if Chen Gong died, he was unwilling to do anything for him.

Many of these things can not be explained clearly in just a few words.

It doesn't matter much to Zhao Yu.

He and Chen Gong only nodded in friendship, that's all.

To be honest, even if he and Cao Mengde secretly push behind their backs, if Chen Gong didn't have that kind of thought in his heart, he wouldn't rebel. If he rebelled, it means that he had that kind of thought. Zhao Yu just pushed him secretly, but wouldn't force him. As long as there is no resistance to Cao Mengde's ideas, there is no problem.

It’s like Zhao Yu put a stack of money on the table, left by himself, and left Chen Gong next to the table. If Chen Gong didn’t go and get it, there would be no problem. But if he took it, then Zhao Yu can’t blame him.

Zhao Yu was slightly drunk and left Cao Mengde's palace.

When he returned home, Cai Yan was playing the piano. Ding ding dong dong, like the flowing water in the mountains, and the listeners were clear.

Zhao Yu likes this feeling, drunkenness, without using magic power, and without luck and blood to clear it. In this state, listen to the sound of the piano, under the night sky, it is very good.

Following the sound of the piano, I happened to come to the backyard. An oil lamp and a couch were placed between Cai Yan's knees, and his concentration was intoxicating.

"Ji Zhaoji is still not resting?"

The sound of the piano suddenly came to an abrupt end, and Cai Yan turned around and saw Zhao Yu standing in the corner.

She shook her head: "I just felt a little upset, so I played the piano."

Zhao Yu nodded understandingly and walked over and said, "I am not familiar with the place, but I don't need to be confused, it's very quiet here."

The two sat on the ground, one sentence was not a word, and they were very close.

Zhao Yu found that he was slightly moved.

The next day, Cao Mengde came to Zhao Yu early in the morning and reminisced about the past with Cai Yan.

Cao Mengde said: "I am both a teacher and a friend of Cai Boyi. When Zhao Ji arrived in Puyang, I am a landlord, so I should do my best to entertain you. I have a yard, which is quiet and elegant in the north of the city, which is suitable for Zhao Ji. Mr. Zhao's yard is too narrow, so Zhao Ji might as well move there. All the items at home are ready, just check in."

Zhao Yu also nodded slightly: "I'm going to the other courtyard today. I don't have much time to entertain Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji might as well listen to Meng De's words."

However, to Zhao Yu's surprise, Cai Yan refused. She Yingying first bowed to Cao Mengde, and then said: "Mr. Cao has an old relationship with his father, but he has no old relationship with his little girl. It's really inconvenient to disturb him."

Then he said to Zhao Yu: "Last night, I heard from Mr. Husband that the other courtyard was quiet and far away from the city. The little girl liked it. I wonder if she could go to Mr. Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Hus

Cao Mengde laughed silently on the side and winked at Zhao Yu. The meaning was very obvious: Look, I was right?

Zhao Yu glared at him fiercely, feeling a little happy, just nodded: "It's okay." "Then I won't disturb you." Cao Mengde smiled and said: "I'm very busy, so I won't give you a gift. When I have free time, I will go to Taihe Villa to observe."

He walked to the door and turned around: "The management of the river and the details I discussed last night..." "Hurry up and leave yours." Zhao Yu said: "I can't forget."

Cao Mengde smiled and left.

The two of them looked at each other speechlessly, feeling a little embarrassed. A blush flashed across Cai Yan's jade-like face.

Zhao Yu touched his nose and shouted, "Old Zhang, are you ready?"

"It's already appropriate, boss!"

So the group left the city.

Originally, the other courtyard was in the wilderness of the mountains, but now it has opened a road. From the distant shade of the forest, the eaves and corners of the houses can be vaguely visible.

Guan Hai arrived here two months ago and took on the responsibility of protecting the hospital. More than 20 surrendered generals followed him. Seeing Zhao Yu's carriage coming, Guan Hai hurriedly came up to him.

"gentlemen."

Zhao Yu sat on the shaft of the carriage and nodded, without saying a word, raised his chin to the other yard, and the carriage kept stopping.

Guan Hai and others followed the frame and crossed the pass between the two mountain bags, and the other courtyard appeared in front of them.

It is said to be a villa, but in fact, when Zhao Yu designed the drawings, he incorporated some Taoist styles. But it is not the case if it is a Taoist temple. It is probably equivalent to a collection of Taoist temples and manors.

After passing the pass, the road under your feet was winding, paved with bluestone slabs, and stretched to the gate of the other courtyard. The other courtyard is surrounded by the courtyard wall, and the courtyard wall is also built with bluestone. The vermilion gate, high-hanging plaques, steep eaves, and two huge bluestone qilins that suppress the left and right, which is quite grand.

But it was just built not long ago, and I always felt that something was missing. It was winter again, giving people a feeling of depression.

Someone had already gone to the other courtyard to report that Xiaochun and Xiaoqiu, Wang Po and his family, as well as Zhang Ling, who had no presence next to him, all came to welcome him outside the courtyard.

The carriage stopped in front of the yard, Zhao Yu jumped off the shaft, looked up at the plaque hanging on the gate: "Taihe Villa—Cao Mengde."

So he smiled and shook his head: "Okay, let's go in."

Everyone was scattered on both sides, and Zhao Yu took the lead and stepped into the newly built villa. The layout of the villa is very simple, divided into five parts and has different heights according to the direction of the five elements. It is not that Zhao Yu was unwilling to design more powerfully, but more complicated. The drawings of the villa were actually designed according to Zhao Yu's current understanding of the formation in the real world.

His current ability is just able to arrange some basic Five Elements Formation. The advanced one is more complicated, and the other is that it has higher requirements for materials. Moreover, it is just a different courtyard, so there is no need to be so complicated.

The villa covers a large area, with a radius of more than two miles. It is located between three mountain bags and is staggered according to the terrain.

Now this villa and the three mountain bags surrounding the villa are only a framework for the time being. Before the formation has been laid out, Zhao Yu went to Nanyang and collected a lot of jade. Before the end of the year, the last and most important arrangement of the villa should be completed.

After walking around, Zhao Yu was satisfied.

Then there were accommodation arrangements, mainly Cai Yan.

"Live in the wooden courtyard." Zhao Yu said: "The wood master is angry and good at raising money. It's just right to live in the wooden courtyard."

Cai Yan smiled lightly and nodded. Zhao Yu called Lao Zhang: "Take Miss Zhaoji to the wooden courtyard..."

"I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Xiaochun looked aside for a while, her eyes dripped, and she hurriedly said, "I know Muyuan, Miss Zhaoji, Muyuan is so good..."

Cai Yan's maid Xiaoya is also lively. She gets along with Xiaochun in just a few words and chatters, and then takes Cai Yan to the wooden courtyard.

Cai Bo looked at all this with a smile, bowed to Zhao Yu and said, "The little old man is also unfree. Mr. Zhao will give instructions if you have any questions."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Cai is a guest, how can it be like this? Lao Zhang, please take Uncle Cai down to settle it first."

"Yes, boss."

Zhao Yu said to Wang Po again: "It's almost noon, so prepare some food."

"Don't worry, boss." Wang Po smiled: "Fish, meat, vegetables, and fruits are ready in the kitchen."

Only Guan Hai and others were left.

Zhao Yu then said to Guan Hai: "I won't be wronged by being my guardian. There is one thing that I can do within half a month."

"Sir, please give me instructions."

"You go and find five kinds of fruit trees, each kind of thirty-six. Within half a month, all the tree pits left in the five courtyards of gold, wood, water, fire, earth and earth must be filled."

When Guan Hai heard this, it was not difficult and bowed and asked, "Dare you dare to ask, sir, whether a sapling or a tree?" "It's best to become a tree." Zhao Yu said.

Guan Hai said: "Here."

Then Zhang Ling was the only one left.

Zhao Yu slowly walked towards the earthen courtyard, Zhang Ling followed her, and Zhao Yu asked her, "Is it still used to it?"

Zhang Ling gathered the hair in Xiaoqiao's ears and nodded lightly: "Habit."

"Just get used to it." Zhao Yu said: "In my villa, no one will say a few words and point fingers. As for your peaceful way, it's just a false sense. Let go if you should."

"I have already let go of myself."

Zhang Ling lowered his head and chuckled.

"It's best to let go." Zhao Yu refused to comment: "For me, there is no specific thing to do. Do whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want."

"Um."

"Then why are you following me?"

Zhang Ling laughed out loud: "Didn't you say you want me to be with me?"

Zhao Yu laughed: "You are the only one."

After a pause, he said, "Zhao Ji is new, and may be a little uncomfortable. If you have time, you can talk to her more."

Although Zhao Yu is now living in a different courtyard, he has a lot of things to do.

I won’t talk about improving the villa. It takes some time to manage the river, compile enlightenment books, etc.

After lunch, Zhao Yu went into the earth yard alone and ordered not to disturb him. Then he took out a pile of jade from the small world of Chaos Beads and began to make the formation base talisman.

He picked up the jade, and a ray of sharpness at the fingertips, and then pulled it horizontally and vertically. After three or five breaths, he broke out a piece of jade that was two inches long, one and a half inches wide, and a half inches thick.

Jade is the essence of earth. Earth has great virtue and carries everything, so it can contain the primordial qi of heaven and earth.

Jade is the most basic material for making talismans.

Ordinary Taoist priests use yellow paper and cinnabar to draw talismans, which are almost all deceitful things.
