Chapter 1089 Revisiting the old place, but meeting old friends
Chapter 1089: Returning to the old place, but meeting old friends
In short...Cao Cao waved his hand, coaxed away the annoying Cheng Yu, put down everything in his hands, and planned to go out.
In fact, since Yi Xiaotian returned to Yecheng, Cao Cao has never made time to visit him like before.
One is that after Yi Xiaotian came back, it really brought an extremely terrifying workload to all of them - even though Yi Xiaotian just walked around Jiangdong, in fact, he was doing research in Jiangdong.
It contains many details such as economic and military aspects, etc., which have become extremely valuable strategic intelligence.
The key... No matter how you put it, Yi Xiaotian's trip to Jiangdong directly or indirectly caused the disappearance of a serious concern of Cao Cao - before the obituary came, no one could have imagined that as the leader of Jiangdong...
Zhou Yu was the first to pass away.
This change alone was enough for the counselors around Cao Cao to make various indirect adjustments to future plans.
Another reason is that they haven’t seen each other for more than a year...Cao Cao’s mentality towards Yi Xiaotian has actually changed——
People will change, just like Yi Xiaotian will change his attitude towards the people around him and waver in his goals because of the various separations he has experienced over the years - Cao Cao... will also change.
However, these subtle changes have not surfaced yet, affecting Cao Cao's chance to actually talk to Yi Xiaotian.
However... In fact, changes often have a beginning, and whether the rest will have an impact on reality is often just a matter of time.
At least one thing, Cao Cao can be sure that... his intention to regard Yi Xiaotian as the most important companion in his life will not change. This is enough.
——
So after struggling for an unknown amount of time, Cao Cao went out alone without telling anyone.
"Brother, can you borrow a car and take me out of the city?"
"Okay, okay, where are you going out of the city? We may not be going with you this time."
"There is a villa, just put me outside the villa."
"Well, it turns out to be a villa...but...it seems like there's still some road..."
The person pulling the bullock cart was an old vegetable farmer. He had dark skin and looked quite young, but he had a lot of tendons on his body.
The market closed early today, and I don’t know what the problem is in the city. The old vegetable farmer can only take the remaining green cabbage stalks in the morning and go home as early as possible. Fortunately, most of them are sold out, and the vegetable stalks can be fed to the cattle when they go home.
The chicken was just pulling and pulling, but I heard someone sitting on the car behind me.
The old vegetable farmer is actually not surprised by this kind of thing. Generally speaking, city people are rich and want to make a living but cannot afford a horse-drawn carriage, so they will take some oxcarts and mule carts to take advantage of the road out of the city.
Of course, ordinary hitchhikers will also pay a small amount of money for the fare. Naturally, the veteran vegetable farmers will not have any objections to this.
But the problem was that the old vegetable farmer couldn't help but murmured when he heard that the person behind him was going to Youjian Villa, which was a little outside of Yecheng.
Where is the villa? Although it takes less than a quarter of an hour to take an oxcart on the road from Yecheng, it is far away from my own village.
Just when he was thinking this and was planning to discuss with the people in the car behind him whether to leave him outside the city and let him find a ride on the other side - the old vegetable farmer looked back subconsciously.
"Um?"
what happened?
The old vegetable farmer was stunned. Why did the bearded man in the car look familiar...
"Brother, why don't you leave? If it's inconvenient, you can leave me outside the city, and the fare will still be paid - my body is not as strong as yours, brother, so I still have to take a ride to rest."
The other party laughed, but it was better not to laugh. Just now, the old vegetable farmer was wondering if he had seen this bearded man somewhere. Then he started laughing. The old vegetable farmer was suddenly shaken and his legs became weak.
"Yeah...yes...you are...yes..."
"Shh..."
The old vegetable farmer was frightened. How could he be an ordinary hitchhiker? Who else could be the truly famous bearded man in Ye City except the most distinguished one in the Prime Minister's Palace?
As a result, the old vegetable farmer with weak legs was about to kneel down, but Cao Cao was able to stop him before he could.
While reminding the other party not to make any noise, he directly took some broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into the other party's hand:
"Brother, take me with you. Don't be nervous. Even your cows are not afraid of me. What are you afraid of?"
"Hey...Okay...Oh, actually this money..."
"Just accept it!"
"Okay! Sit tight then! God...it's really crazy today...it's a lifetime blessing for us, an old farmer, to bump into you, Prime Minister."
The old farmer still wanted to refuse the money, but Cao Cao quickly stuffed it back for him - the reason why he went out like this was because he didn't want others to recognize him. For this reason, he also changed into quite simple clothes, which was his iconic beard...
...Cao Cao scratched his chin and found that it was impossible to hide it, so he could only sigh, shortened his body a little, and used the leaves and stems of vegetables to cover it up.
——
I don't know whether it was due to luck or something else, but even after passing through the city gate, the city gate captain didn't realize that the bearded man on the old farm cart was their prime minister, Cao Cao.
After looking at Cao Cao suspiciously for a while, feeling a chill running down his spine, the city gate captain quickly let him go.
After leaving the city, the road became much smoother - the old vegetable farmer accepted Cao Cao's money, and there was no resistance at all at this moment. Not to mention resistance, even if Cao Cao asked him to take him to Youzhou, he would have to work hard and fight hard.
An old life.
In short - driven by such a high emotion, the old farmer took Cao Cao all the way to Youjian Villa.
"Prime Minister, we're here. If you don't think it's enough, we'll take you to the Zhuangzi again. If you want to go back, we'll be waiting for you here today -"
The old farmer was so enthusiastic. After the initial shock, he realized that he was bringing this noble man, Cao Cao. The old farmer was completely unambiguous and provided as much service as he wanted.
However, Cao Cao rejected him with a smile and urged him to go home quickly.
Finally, after watching the old farmer leave, Cao Cao stood in front of the villa with mixed feelings and looked at the overall view of Youjian Villa.
"I haven't seen you for many years...I don't know if Brother Yi has changed much."
He murmured to himself, minding his own business and walked towards the villa.
Following the path in his memory, Cao Cao traveled throughout the entire Ujian Villa - and the countless huge changes in the Villa now made Cao Cao amazed along the way.
Unknowingly, as if he had forgotten the purpose of coming to the villa, Cao Cao had been shopping around all afternoon.
It wasn't until the sun went down that Cao Cao, who was enjoying his shopping, realized that he had forgotten the real thing.
Hurry up and follow the usual path towards the back mountain.
It's just that... when he arrived at Yi Xiaotian's residence, even Cao Cao might not have thought that he would unexpectedly bump into Xun Yu and Jia Xu who were also visiting Yi Xiaotian in this villa.
"So... why are you two here?"
Looking at Jia Xu who kept snickering, and Xun Yu who pretended to be innocent with a straight face, the smile on Cao Cao's face couldn't help but tremble.
