Chapter 189 Chapter 27 Wei Wu Ru Qiyong (13)

The little official who brought up the oranges saw it clearly, and was immediately frightened out of his wits.It took a while before I came back to my senses, remembering that the porters hadn't gone far, so I called them back immediately. There was a lot of discussion.Many people suggested to open up the other tangerines, maybe only this one was empty, but Cao Cao sat there with a gloomy expression, without saying a word, just talking, and then stopped talking. After a while, a group of porters came up to the high platform, and Cao Cao said: "Why do these oranges have only empty shells but no flesh? You can recruit them from the truth, or you will be killed!"

Have the porters ever come to such a big scene, let alone the famous Wei Guogong? They have already been scared out of their wits.After Cao Cao asked again, it was only you who said something and me who said something vaguely.The more Cao Cao heard it, the more surprised he was, and he asked, "Is there really such a thing in the world? I have killed countless monsters, and I have never seen anyone with such a name. Did he ever say what his name was?" All the porters replied together: "His name is Zuo Ci, his character is Yuan Fang, his Taoist name is Mr. Wujiao, and he is from the hometown of Duke Wei!"

Just now when the porters were telling what happened, they clashed with each other in seven or eight words, but now this sentence was spoken in unison, word for word, and the voice spread far away.All the generals and officers laughed when they heard this.Even Cao Cao, who had always been gloomy, couldn't help but smile. Just as he was laughing, he suddenly heard a long howl from below the stage, and then a clear voice flew to the high stage: "Duke Wei summoned the poor Taoist, and everyone shouted at each other, which is full of hospitality. But how dare Yuan Fang do it?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a blind and lame Taoist climbed onto the high platform, standing in front of Cao Cao, with a smile on his face.

Cao Cao didn't expect that this person was still below the stage when he spoke, and he was already on the high stage as soon as he finished speaking, so he was shocked.After a while, he came back to his senses. When all the generals saw this man descending from the sky like a flying general, they were all horrified, they put their hands on their swords and gathered beside Cao Cao. But the Taoist seemed to be doing nothing, just stood there, staring at Cao Cao with one eye, smiling at the corner of his mouth. Cao Cao had recovered his usual demeanor at this time, waved his hands, shouted away the generals, then raised his head and glared at Zuo Ci, and said, "What kind of sorcery do you use to dare to take away my good fruit?"

Zuo Ci still didn't change his smile, and said: "Who said there is such a thing?" As he spoke, he stepped forward and took out a hand halberd that Cao Cao had just accidentally dropped on the ground, cut it open, and held it towards Cao Cao.Looking at it, the flesh inside is plump, and a sweetness floats into Cao Cao's nostrils. Cao Cao smiled and said, "It turns out that only one is empty." So he took the halberd, took out one and cut it open, but it was empty again, and he was surprised again.Zuo Ci smiled without saying a word, and cut open another one, which had flesh, and asked Cao Cao to cut open another, which had no flesh.Repeated this several times, everyone knew that as long as Cao Cao cut it open, it would be an empty shell, while what Zuo Ci cut open would be solid.

Cao Cao was full of surprises and doubts, and didn't know what to say.Zuo Ci put a fleshy tangerine into his mouth and ate it, even saying that it was a tangerine from Wudi after all, and it tasted delicious.After eating, he said, "It's just not as sweet as the lychees in Lingnan." Cao Cao asked: "Can you eat lychees from Lingnan at this time?" "Isn't this?" Zuo Ci pointed to a plate in front of Cao Cao.I saw a large bunch of red and bright lychees on the plate, the grains were full and unusual. Cao Cao was shocked and said: "I have eaten all the preserved fruits in this plate!" Everyone was shocked when they saw it.

Zuo Ci said: "May the duke give a banquet to the ministers today?" Cao Cao hastily asked someone to set up another special table next to him, and ordered the left and right to serve wine and meat.Zuo Ci actually drank five dou of wine in one sitting without getting drunk, and he tore up a whole sheep and couldn't get enough, all the generals were more and more amazed. After eating, Zuo Ci wiped off the oil stains and residues from the corners of his mouth with his hands, and said: "Today, there are a lot of foreign objects in the state banquet, and there are a lot of foreign objects in the four directions. I'm afraid there are still some things that can't be obtained normally. If you want it, poor Dao would like to get it for the Duke." Cao Cao wanted to make things difficult for him, so he said, "I want to make soup with dragon liver, can you get it?"

Zuo Ci smiled and said, "What is this!" He got up, walked to the white wall on the left side of the banquet, took out a pen from his sleeve and drew a giant dragon with its teeth and claws on it.After the completion, with a flick of the sleeve of the robe, the dragon's abdomen suddenly split open, and the smell of blood spread on the stage.Zuo Ci took a pair of dragon liver from the dragon's belly, the blood was still dripping down. Cao Cao couldn't believe it was really a dragon liver, so he refused to eat it and said, "Put it in your sleeve first." Zuo Ci put the dragon liver into his sleeve according to his words, and asked: "There are many flowers here, but there are also some shortages. What flowers does the Duke want?"

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Snow lotus in Tibet." Zuo Ci said: "It's too easy!" He asked the people on the left and right to bring a large empty flower pot, and when he let go of the cover with his hands, the soil inside was covered with a layer of ice and snow, and he took water to drink. , Spray it into mist on the flower pot, and in an instant, a snow lotus grows in the flower pot, and a large flower blooms immediately under the eyes of everyone, with a fragrance overflowing. Everyone was in an uproar. At this time, the cook happened to bring a plate of sea bass.Zuo Ci returned to his seat, picked it up with his fingers, took a bite, and said, "Songjiang's perch is still delicious!"

Cao Cao asked: "Songjiang is thousands of miles away from Yecheng, can you also fetch it?" Zuo Ci didn't answer any more, he walked to a small pool by the side of the stage, and immediately a waiter offered him a fishing rod.In an instant, more than ten large perch were caught and placed in front of Cao Cao.Seeing that he had finally revealed his secrets, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing and said: "Everyone here knows that there are already perch in my pond!" Zuo Ci also smiled and said: "All perch in the world have two gills, but Songjiang only has two gills. Bass has four gills, the Duke can take a look."

Cao Cao and all the officers and officers took a closer look and found that it was indeed a four-gilled perch.
