The afterglow shines from the west.

Cao Mansion Backyard.

The girl with the nickname Qinghe sneaked out in the morning and watched the army return triumphantly in the crowd. Seeing her father riding on the horse with a spring breeze, she was so happy that she wanted to scream. The other person next to her, the other person, looked like Jia, made her heart pound. The man had seen him earlier, as if he was called Gongsun Zhi... Back in the mansion, he unconsciously picked up the embroidery and sat in the backyard to embroider. That night, she actually overheard the conversation between her father and that person outside the door, intermittently, as if she remembered that her father mentioned marrying him and had noticed her heart.

"Why...I think of this..."

Cao Yu said softly, squinting her eyes like a kitten, pressing the embroidery on her chest, her face red, "... But that man is really beautiful... so majestic, much better than her father, and more powerful than her uncles... like a general."

The girl held up her chin with some distress and looked at the sunset that was about to set. "It's all because of the strong wind that night... I didn't hear what Gongsun Zhi answered clearly... If he didn't like me... or if he already had a wife and concubine? I don't want to be a little girl..." She screamed in distress, lifting the embroidery that only embroidered half of the mandarin duck's head to her face, staring at the half of the head above. At this moment, the noise sounded in the front yard, and in the afterglow, footsteps of trotting came from the eaves of the corridor.

The bored girl looked over and a close-fitting maid ran to the front panting, covering her undulating chest and pointing to the front: "Here...I'm back..."

"What's back..." Cao Yu blinked and suddenly stood up, "Is my father back?"

"Yes!" the maid nodded.

"Then... is that guy named Gongsun Zhi also here?"

"Here I'm here, I'm back with the Prime Minister." The maid confirmed again.

Cao Yu's heart moved, quickly put down the embroidery, kicked the hem of the skirt and ran forward quickly, hid by the wall at the corner of the eaves and looked outside secretly, then covered her mouth and her eyes bent into crescent moons.

At the end of the vision, two figures walked side by side through the eaves, and the guards followed behind. Both of them had different powers, but Gongsun Zhi was tall, covered with all his body, and his waist looked even more heroic. He strided towards the backyard, talking about some things while walking.

"... Gongsun really doesn't think about it?"

"I don't think about it now, but the wing room I took me to and went to the backyard, so I feel very relieved."

"You are different from others, so you can't sit in the side yard. Go and rest first. I'll ask the maid to send some robes over later. At the banquet, you won't wear this outfit."

"It's better to take a shower..."

The conversation sounded from a distance to a nearer level. Cao Yu looked at it for a while, then ran back, sat back to her original position and picked up the embroidery, with a focused look, and threaded the needle there. The dim and soft afterglow made the girl's body look soft and slender, and the part on her wrist looked white during the movements.

The conversation came behind her, and she quickly got up and shouted sweetly: "Father!" The focus of her eyes quickly passed by Cao Cao, landed on the figure next to her father, and showed her dimples with a smile: "Governor Gongsun."

"Qinghe has the leisure to embroider here today, but it was not like this in the past." Cao Cao looked at the embroidery on the stone table over there, smiled and shook his head, and said in a word, "It's almost dark, Qinghe should go back to his room first."

Gongsun Zhi also nodded slightly to Cao Yu and went to the front with Cao Cao. The girl in front of him did have a charming and beautiful face and figure. Unfortunately, after getting married, he easily put his mind on a woman, but he responded simply and politely before leaving.

"Well……."

Cao Yu looked at her back away with disappointment, sat back on the stone bench in disgust, pinching the cloth, "...It seems that she doesn't like me..."

After a while, someone approached behind him, Cao Cao's voice came over with a smile: "...Qinghe, let's forget about your thoughts." He patted his palm on his thin shoulders, "In the future, my father will find you the best and most prominent husband's family in the world, Gongsun Zhi, you should not count on this wolf. With your temperament, sooner or later he will eat you, and the bones will not exist... I will hold a banquet in the mansion later, Qinghe will not make trouble, go back to the room as soon as possible."

After saying this, Cao Cao was a little tired. After watching his father walk out here, Cao Yu muttered: "...I'm not afraid."

Soon, she saw a graceful lotus walk past here with a slim figure, holding a black-bottomed and red-collared robe, a martial arts crown, and a pair of long boots. When the woman saw the young lady in the mansion looking over, she quickly gave a gift: "I am about to go to the Governor Gongsun's room to send a replacement clothing."

"Go and go." The girl looked at her twisted waist, tore the embroidery in her hand angrily, and turned back to her room.

On the other side, the singing girl named Lai Ying'er knocked on the door, and a sentence "Come in." came from inside. She carefully pushed the door open and saw the figure who was unloading her armor. She quickly put down her clothes, "Governor, please let me help you."

"Um."

Gongsun Zhi looked at him slightly and said that he was the maid who gave the clothes, so he didn't look at it much. Anyway, the scimitar he had untied was not far from his hand. After a lightening of his body, he took off the rest by himself, "I want to take a shower, you go and get the hot water."

On the other side, the woman said "yes" in her voice and went out. Gongsun Zhi took out his robe and looked, then went to the bed to lie down and put his eyes on to nourish his spirit. Back to Xu Du's style, it was actually discussed on the way before entering the city today. In order to clear the ministers in the court who knew the emperor's secrets, they naturally needed some excuses.

After this incident, he would probably have to go back to Shanggu County. When he came back, he had already received news that Yuan Shao had led the Taihang Mountains. However, if the other party wanted to take Shangdang County in the true sense and occupy Taihang Mountains, it would be impossible for him to complete it in one or two years. What's more, Li Ru and others who were in Shanggu County would be so easy for Yuan Shao to use this important road linking the Central Plains.

During the dazed light sleep, the sound of water was already heard in my ears. After a moment, the woman's voice also came: "Governor, the hot water has been put away."

Gongsun Zhi opened his eyes and the sky outside the window was completely dark. When he walked out of the bedroom, the lights in the side room were red. The woman turned around behind the shower screen. Her mature body had taken off her dress and was covered in a tulle, which made her hips look firm and round, and her towering chest was full of red, which was eye-catching.

"Governor...I...she...she serves you in the bath."

A moaning voice was saying, Lai Ying'er walked over and gently helped Gongsun Zhi take off her clothes. Seeing the strong upper body inside was covered with dense knife marks and arrow wounds, she couldn't help but take a step back and suddenly reacted. Just as she was about to cover her horror expression, Gongsun Zhi, who had exposed her upper body, had already passed her and walked behind the screen. When the sound of water sounded, a cold voice came over.

"Get out."

"Yes...yes..." Lai Ying'er quickly put on her dress, her face pale, "I took my leave." As she said that, she hurriedly retreated outside the house and ran out of the backyard in panic. Behind a courtyard landscape not far away, there was a figure waiting there. When she saw the woman coming back, she hurriedly met her.

"Why is it so fast... Could it be that Gongsun Zhi can't do it?"

"...No...it's me...it's me suddenly saw the scar on his body and was startled..."

"A general traversing the north, and he will inevitably be injured on the battlefield..."

"...but many... I get numb when I look at it."

"Oh, this is the best opportunity for us to leave the Cao Mansion... Ying'er, we want to stay together forever, and we can't be in Cao Mansion. Only by going to the northern part of the country can I make achievements. Then I will ask the governor to reward me..."

"Can it really happen? Governor Gongsun's eyes are like wolves..."

"Only such characters are powerful. Next time, I will find opportunities to get you close. You must seize it."

“Okay… OK…”

During the conversation of scattered words, the front yard was full of lights and colorful decorations. Carriages came to the gate of Cao's mansion to stop. The people who walked into the government were all ministers in the court. Even the small officials who could not enter the gate gave gifts and hung their names at this time, and then left with satisfaction.

Not long after Gongsun Zhi took a shower and put on his cumbersome robes, a maid came to inform him that the banquet had begun. The door was opened and he followed the maid to the front yard. In fact, he knew in his heart that eating such a banquet was as uncomfortable as wax. Those ministers in the court who were not in the face of Cao Cao would come because of the other party's power, but they were just cold and cold.

After sitting all the way, as he expected, the banquet did not last long, and the verbal mockery attack was opened. Then the banquet dispersed at the You hour. Only Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhi, and a group of guards were still there in the big courtyard.

"Gongsun saw it too. The Grand Marshal Yang Biao seemed a little afraid of you and I, as if I were tigers and wolves. He ran away early and could not stay this person." Cao Cao picked up a glass of wine and drank it on several cases. "You and I want to speed up national reunification, but these people are always trying to pull their legs... It's really annoying."

Gongsun Zhi looked at the mansion for a while, threw the cup to the ground and smashed it to pieces. He sat straight to Cao Cao's side, his voice cold: "It's not enough... Dong Cheng and others are also thinking, but they just don't take action for a long time. Why don't you force them once? Didn't the Prime Minister say he wanted to hunt? He happened to bring His Majesty with him."

On the side, Cao Cao nodded: "Okay"

The palm slapped.

***************

Under the same night, when he went south, the sound of the waves of the river water rolled across the shore, and the river breeze pounced on the face with a slightly cold chill. The young man with short beards had almost recovered. He looked at the stars in the sky from afar and was ready to go north, as for Xu Du's home.
