Chapter 33: Cao Ang is plotting against someone again
After Lu Bu left.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang and smiled mysteriously.
"You have accomplished something big for your father today."
Since Cao Cao rarely praised Cao Ang, when he heard this, Cao Ang just felt that this guy was scolding him in reverse.
He said with a guilty look on his face: "Dad, please stop making fun of me."
"If you want to scold me, just say so."
Cao Ang pretended to die generously and said: "Anyway, we have accomplished today. Whether you beat me or scold me, I will never complain."
After all, at such a critical period, he offended Dong Zhuo's favorite.
If the other party retaliates against the two of them, then there is really nothing that can be done.
But Cao Cao looked unconcerned and even smiled.
"You kid, you usually look quite smart."
"What happened today?"
Cao Cao said bluntly: "How come you haven't realized it until now? Is it a good thing to offend Li Ru?"
Hearing this, Cao Ang looked puzzled.
Seeing this, Cao Cao did not explain to him on the spot, but turned around and walked into the mansion slowly.
After entering the palace, he said to Cao Ang who was following him: "Let me ask you, what do you think will happen to those who have offended the king's favorite officials since ancient times?"
"Of course it won't end well."
"Other people won't say anything, only General Li Guangli of the time."
"Didn't he almost ruin his official career because he offended an eunuch?"
But when he said this, Cao Ang suddenly paused.
Since ancient times, those who offended the emperor's favorite ministers would not get a good ending.
But there is one exception.
That was this offending person who didn't expect to stay with the monarch for a long time.
He even wanted to leave this monarch...
At that moment, Cao Ang also reacted.
His frowning eyebrows instantly relaxed, and then he said: "Dad's intention Do you want to take this opportunity to ask Li Ru to drive us out of Luoyang?"
"You can be said to have quick reactions, kid."
Cao Cao said with a happy face: "You are a blessing in disguise this time."
"Although it offended Li Ru, it also gave us the best excuse to leave Luoyang City."
"After all, we can't stand having such a traitor around us all the time, so it's natural for us to leave, right?"
Hearing this, Cao Ang shook his head.
He said: "Although this is possible, it is not the best strategy."
"oh?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then said: "You mean, there is a better idea than this?"
"That's natural."
Now that Cao Ang has thought about this aspect, in his little head, like a future generation, ideas are popping out like fireworks.
"Leaving in anger is far worse than being transferred away."
"After all, as a father, there is only one reason for being transferred."
"That means there is a rebellion in a certain place, or there are vacancies in positions such as prefect."
Cao Ang shook his head and said: "But no matter which one, Dong Zhuo will always give his father some soldiers."
"At that time, whether the rebellion is successfully suppressed or not, my father will no longer have to return to Luoyang."
Cao Ang looked at Cao Cao and said, "In this case, wouldn't it be better if my father has soldiers and generals and can take the opportunity to ask for a large sum of money from Dong Zhuo?"
"Yeah, yeah."
"This is a very good plan, and it suits me very well!"
Cao Cao looked up and smiled, but then his smile suddenly stopped, and his face showed loneliness and worry.
He said: "Just, do you think Li Ru will do what we want?"
"If he doesn't do it, force him to do it."
Cao Ang said with a smirk on his face: "Don't worry, my dad, leave this matter to me..."
…
In the early morning of this day, Cao Ang got up from bed early and ran to the kitchen to work.
Seeing such a scene, Ning Tong, who had followed him for many years, was also a little surprised.
You know, this guy's personality is never to get up until midnight.
But what happened today? .???.
Ning Tong raised his head and looked out the window. Could it be that the sun is coming from the west today?
Seeing his appearance, Cao Ang rolled his eyes.
He said: "I told you, if you don't come over quickly to help, where are you looking at the sky?"
Hearing this, Ning Tong just reacted.
He walked up to Cao Ang and helped him put some snacks into the food box.
While pretending, he said to Cao Ang: "Sir, you made so many snacks when you got up early this morning. Could it be that I want to take them away when I go out today?"
"of course not."
"When he goes out, there must be a liquor store outside. Why does he need me to bring something from home?"
Cao Ang rolled his eyes and said, "These are all given to a very, very important person."
VIP?
Ning Tong asked curiously: "How important is it?"
"It's a matter of life and your master's future."
Cao Ang smiled softly and said: "But it's useless to tell you this now. You will know it naturally when the time comes."
"oh……"
Ning Tong agreed, then looked at the steaming pot, smelled the alluring aroma, and swallowed his saliva.
He couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what delicious food did you cook today?"
“Stewed turtle with mushrooms!”
Cao Ang stepped forward with a raised eyebrow, lifted the lid of the pot, and the aroma suddenly filled the courtyard.
He didn't care what Ning Tong's eyes looked like, he just cut off a whole piece. Throw the bitter melon into the vegetable soup.
Then he cut a few red peppers that he usually didn't dare to touch, and threw them into the pot along with a whole jar of salt.
Seeing this, Ning Tong's face was filled with confusion.
What is your son doing?
How come you ruin a good thing?
But immediately, Ning Tong came to his senses.
My young master is not doing anything else, he is definitely trying to trick people.
But Cao Ang didn't care about the guy's look, and immediately mixed the contents of the pot and put them into a ceramic tube.
After sealing it, he put the ceramic jar into the food box.
"You will go to Mr. Li Ruli's residence later and give this thing to him."
"Just say, I know what happened yesterday was my fault, and this delicious meal should be regarded as an apology gift to him."
Cao Ang warned carefully: "If he is willing to turn conflicts into friendship, there will be more benefits in the future."
Hearing this, the muscles on Ning Tong's face bulged.
Make amends to others?
Is there such a way to apologize to others?
A whole bitter melon, several extremely spicy chili peppers, and a lot of salt.
This special girl clearly wants to murder...
But how could Ning Tong dare to say anything else?
He only hoped that he would never get beaten because of this.
Finally, Ning Tong went out carrying the food box with a generous look on his face.
Seeing this guy's state, Cao Ang was a little bit dumbfounded, but he didn't say much in the end.
Looking at Ning Tong's leaving figure, he raised the corner of his mouth.
"Li Ru, Li Ru, since yesterday's incident is over, I don't want to have anything to do with you, and I don't want to trick you."
"But who asked you to take the initiative to deliver it to your door?"
An ambiguous smile appeared on Cao Ang's face: "But come to think of it, this bowl of bitter melon devil's spicy tortoise soup is enough to make you furious..."
