Cao Shuo participated in Yuan Shao's practice banquet in the evening.

Although Feng Ji attended, his face was ugly like a dead man.

The more he looked like a mourner, the better Cao Shuo's mood became.

When he returned to his lodgings in the evening, he slept soundly.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shao led his staff and generals in Yecheng to personally send Cao Shuo and Kong Rong out of Yecheng.

After Cao Shuo left, Yuan Shao led everyone back to Yuan's house.

When I got to the door of the house, a school captain ran over.

Yuan Shao's guards stopped the captain and said a few words to him, and the guards came to Yuan Shao, clasped their fists and said: "Qi Yuan Gong, there is news in the army that General Zhang Nan has not returned to the barracks for two days. ”

"Zhang Nan didn't go back to the barracks?" Yuan Shao frowned and asked everyone, "Has anyone seen him?" ”

Everyone was at a loss, looking at each other one by one, all shaking their heads.

"Find! Dig three feet into the ground, and find out Zhang Nan! Yuan Shao instructed the guards.

The guards were ordered to leave.

Feng Ji hugged his fists and said to Yuan Shao: "Yuan Gong, Zhang Nan offended Cao Zirong, will it be ......?"

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and he was also a little suspicious in his heart.

Zhang Nan's disappearance is really a coincidence!

only offended Cao Shuo, and received a military stick in Yuan's house, Zhang Nan disappeared immediately after, and it is difficult to say whether he will be implicated with Cao Shuo.

Doubting in his heart, Yuan Shao heard a sneer behind him.

Glancing back, he saw Guo Tu with a disdainful smile on his face, as if he had something to say.

"If the public has something to say, just say it clearly." Yuan Shao said: "Why did you sneer? ”

"I'm laughing at Yuantu." Guo Tu said: "Yesterday, Zirong Gongzi invited us to a banquet, he lost his ugliness, and he didn't think about his shortcomings, but he wanted to frame Yuan Gongjia's son-in-law, wouldn't it be funny?" ”

"Guo Tu, what do you mean?" was exposed by Guo Tu in public, Feng Ji's face turned red and asked angrily.

"Yuantu dares to do it but doesn't dare to let people say it?" Guo Tu said-for-tat: "Yuan Gong doesn't know, yesterday Yuan Tu went to the appointment, and Zirong Gongzi, the second son, and the third son went out to welcome me and Zhengnan. Yuan Tu took advantage of their absence to do things with the woman in the room, but unfortunately he was broken by everyone! ”

Guo Tu told Yuan Shao about this unabashedly, and Feng Ji's ashamed old face blushed to the base of his neck.

"Yuantu, is there such a thing?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Yes!" Feng Ji said: "I thought about it all night yesterday, and I always felt that something was wrong......

"It's not the fault that a man's husband likes beauty." Yuan Shao said: "Yuantu shouldn't suspect Zirong because of this. He kindly invited you to the banquet, but you were slandered in the back, which inevitably made people feel cold. ”

"Yuan Gong's teachings, I wrote them down!" Feng Ji hugged his fists and bowed, and responded very humbly.

His expression was like eating a fly, but Guo Tu's face was full of pride.

Cao Shuo and the others left Yecheng without their female dependents, and caught up with Liu Shuang and others who left first within two days.

Chen Wu, who escorted the female dependent, came to Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo asked, "Has Zhang Nan's body been disposed of?" ”

"In order to prevent Yuan Jun from interrogating, we buried the body not long after leaving Yecheng." Chen Wu responded.

"I'm getting better at getting things done!" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked Chen Wu, "Where is Zhen Ji?" ”

"Madame is in the carriage ahead." Chen Wu pointed forward: "I heard that Gongzi is coming, she wants to come to see the ceremony, and I persuaded her to go back." ”

"I don't need her to come, I'll go!" Cao Shuo urged the horses to speed up.

Catching up with Zhen Mi's carriage, he shouted, "Zhen Ji, do you miss me?" ”

The curtain of the car was lifted, and Zhen Mi's face that captivated the country and the city appeared in front of Cao Shuo's eyes.

"I've seen Childe!" Zhen Mi said sweetly.

"Stop!" Cao Shuo shouted to the driving Mite.

Mishou reined in the horse, and Cao Shuo dismounted and jumped into the carriage.

"Why does it smell so good?" Entering the carriage, he sniffed and asked Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi looked surprised, and also sniffed: "I haven't heard it." ”

The nose was on Zhen Mi's neck, and Cao Shuo sniffed hard: "I said why is it so fragrant, it turns out to be the smell on your body." ”

Only then did Zhen Mi understand that he was not serious as soon as he got in the car.

"Childe ......" Pretty face flushed, and Zhen Mi called softly.

"Call me what?" Cao Shuo asked.

"There's someone out there." Zhen Mi said shyly.

"They are outside, and they can't hear it." Cao Shuo said: "There are only two of us in the carriage, and we are not allowed to call Gongzi again." ”

"Husband......" Zhen Mi changed her words.

On the road after that, every night when he set up camp, Cao Shuo would sleep in a tent with Zhen Mi.

During the day, they rode in the same carriage.

A few days later, they returned to Xudu.

After entering Cheng, Cao Shuo instructed Chen Wu: "You give the woman we brought back to Cai Ji and let him settle it." Find a house for Zhen Ji and let her live first. ”

"Don't worry, Childe!" Chen Wu responded and summoned several guards to escort the accompanying woman with him.

Cao Shuo stood outside Zhen Mi's carriage: "Zhen Ji, I'll ask Chen Wu to arrange a place for you to live first, and I'll go back to Cao's house first." ”

"Childe just go and get busy, I'll take care of myself." Zhen Mi responded.

"If I do this, it's not a golden house, right?" Cao Shuo asked sheepishly.

Zhen Mi's tone was a little sentimental: "I am already a woman of the son, what is the difference between hiding and not hiding?" ”

"Don't worry, I will be able to take you back to the Cao family soon." Cao Shuo said: "That way, we can be together all day." ”

"I'll wait for my son!" Zhen Mi replied softly from the carriage.

Chen Wu took the guards to escort Zhen Mi and the other women away.

Cao Shuo and Kong Rong returned to Cao's house with the people under them.

Hearing that Cao Shuo and Kong Rong had returned, Cao Cao summoned his staff and generals in the front hall.

The two entered the hall and saluted Cao Cao.

Kong Rong said: "I was ordered to go to Hebei this time, fortunately, Yuan Shao has accepted the post of general and is willing to reconcile with the Cao family." ”

"I already know." Cao Cao said to Kong Rong with a smile on his face: "Yuan Shao has sent someone to Xu Du to mention to me the marriage between Zirong and his daughter. I consulted with the people and found that marriage was necessary. ”

Looking at Cao Shuo, Cao Cao said, "Zirong, you have worked hard this time, what do you want me to reward?" ”

"It is incumbent on the child to do things for the Cao family." Cao Shuo said: "I don't want to reward. ”

The more he was like this, the more Cao Cao had a good impression of him.

With a smile on his face, Cao Cao said: "I have given an order to go down, and today's banquet will be a meeting for Wenju and Zirong!" ”

Cao Shuo and Kong Rong thanked each other.

Cao Cao got up and said, "Zirong, come here, I have something to say to you." ”

Everyone watched as father and son walked out of the antechamber.

Kong Rong asked the staff on the side, "What is Gong Cao going to do?" ”

"Cao Hong led the army to attack Zhang Xiu, but he was repeatedly frustrated." The staff whispered: "Liu Biao sent Wen Ping and Wei Yan to lead 5,000 troops to help Zhang Xiu, the situation is urgent, and Cao Gong is very irritable these days. Asked Zirong Gongzi to go out, it's hard to say if it's for this matter. ”
