When Cao Cao found Yi Xiaotian, it was already approaching evening. After all, a big battle had just been fought, and the army needed to rest. Naturally, it also needed Cao Cao's encouragement. Yi Xiaotian's unwillingness to show up in public really saved Cao Cao a lot of effort.
But also because of Yi Xiaotian's temperament, Cao Cao didn't know how to reward Yi Xiaotian for a while, so in this half day, Cao Cao was busy with the army outside the city, and then returned to the city to look for Yi Xiaotian
.
However, as soon as he found Yi Xiaotian, Cao Cao was shocked by the sight in front of him.
As the sun sets, the afterglow shines on the gold-plated streets of Xiangyang City, and at the end of the street are the smiling faces of many servants of the Huang Mansion.
They shouted uniform slogans and moved all useful objects that could be photographed from the Ma Mansion——
"Prime Minister...this...can you let Mr. Yi confiscate Ma's house?"
Jia Xu scratched his head. In the past few days, he had been exhausted due to overwork. After experiencing the previous battle at the city head, Jia Xu had a good rest for half an afternoon at the Prefectural Mufu, and now he woke up leisurely.
, follow Cao Cao to find Yi Xiaotian.
But when he woke up and saw such a magical scene, Jia Xu suspected that he was in a dream.
"Where... In the past few days, I have ignored everything in the city. I thought that after the war was over, I would take good care of these stubborn people... I didn't expect..."
Cao Cao couldn't laugh or cry. Meeting the servants of the Huang Mansion was basically equivalent to meeting Yi Xiaotian - after all, everyone in Xiangyang now knew that Huang Yueying, the daughter of the Huang family, was by Yi Xiaotian's side at the moment. What about the Huang family?
...and also attached himself to Youjian Villa outside the city, and climbed onto Yi Xiaotian's lap.
Of course...Cao Cao heard about this, naturally not through rumors among the people, but...
"Prime Minister!!"
"Prime Minister!! I'm sorry for my inconvenience, but I'm sorry that I'm so far away!"
No...Huang Yueying became the Yi family, the initiator of this rumor, and was already walking towards Cao Cao and Jia Xu who had just entered the intersection of Zhuojin Street.
Cao Cao shrunk his neck and quickly looked around. He seemed to be quite afraid of that person... It wasn't because of how powerful the other party was. It was because this old man... was a bit unacceptable.
Huang Chengyan...he is so excited.
From a distance, Cao Cao nervously waved to Huang Chengyan and gestured to him frantically.
When Huang Chengyan saw this, he became even more excited and trotted all the way towards Cao Cao. There was no trace of the posture of a rickety old man.
"Prime Minister..."
As soon as he arrived, Huang Chengyan couldn't hide the smile on his face and rubbed his hands to get close to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had a straight face and sighed...
"Did Mr. Huang forget... I have told you my true identity, and you are not allowed to call me your true identity in public... If Brother Yi finds out... I don't know how Brother Yi will react..."
"Oh... I was negligent... Oops... Look at my stupid mind..."
Huang Chengyan panicked and suddenly realized that he had lost his composure. He tried to slap himself in the face, but was stopped by Jia Xu who was standing beside him.
"Hey... Mr. Huang doesn't have to be like this. You were negligent this time, so be careful next time... The Prime Minister won't blame you... It's just that Mr. Huang needs to understand the Prime Minister's difficulties... After all, you should know Brother Yi's temper..."
Jia Xu smiled and acted as a peacemaker, and also gave Huang Chengyan a step down.
Huang Chengyan was extremely grateful and bowed to Jia Xu again and again:
"Sir, what you said is...I have written it down."
Cao Cao shrugged his shoulders and showed a helpless expression:
"Hey... I don't want this to be the case. It's just that Brother Yi is sincere to me. But the truth has lied to Brother Yi from the very beginning. Now, over and over again, after so many years, the more we hide it from each other, the harder it is to open our mouths..."
"Prime Minister, don't worry...there will always be a suitable time for Mr. Yi to know the Prime Minister's good intentions..."
Jia Xu hurriedly comforted him, fearing that Cao Cao would not be able to think about it for a while and would really confess to Yi Xiaotian... There will naturally be opportunities in the future, but not now...
Cao Cao nodded, confirming this statement.
——
"But... speaking of which, Mr. Huang is at the Ma Mansion, but was it ordered by Brother Yi?"
"We left the city tower, and we haven't found any trace of Brother Yi for half a day. Does Mr. Huang know where Brother Yi has gone now?"
The three of them were walking and chatting, and Cao Cao realized that Huang Chengyan had been entrusted by Yi Xiaotian to pick up useful things in Ma Mansion and send them all to the craftsman's workshop——
"It's just that... after the village owner finished speaking, he went to the east of the city. I don't know where exactly he went."
"But if the Prime Minister is in a hurry, I can ask people in the mansion to go and find out. The Prime Minister is not familiar with Xiangyang, so it must be difficult to find him. If he really finds Master Yi, how about I ask them to come back and inform the Prime Minister?
"
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Huang..."
Cao Cao nodded and handed over the search for Yi Xiaotian to Huang Chengyan - Cao Cao had no clue at all. Now the villa is temporarily abandoned. Even the salt mine in Lumen Mountain has been stopped by Yi Xiaotian and sealed with stones again.
Get up, according to Yi Xiaotian...there are wartime rules in wartime. However, because of this, Yi Xiaotian began to disappear, which made Cao Cao a little worried...
A few people chatted and walked directly into the house.
However... the moment he just stepped into the gate of Ma Mansion, a black figure suddenly rushed out from behind the door. Huang Chengyan was so frightened that he almost lost his breath. Cao Jun, who was guarding Ma Mansion on the side, reacted quickly and rushed forward.
He raised his spear as if he was about to attack the incoming attacker.
However, the black figure seemed to be shocked by Cao Jun's reaction, and he quickly explained:
"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...wwww...oh, oh, oh, Ma Niang! Don't kill me!"
"What the hell! Prime Minister, get out of the way and let me come!"
Jia Xu is not someone to be trifled with. In ancient times, literati often traveled long distances on horseback. How could he be the frail scholar that ordinary people ridiculed?
Although Jia Xu was so weak that he fell off his horse during the march, it was only because of the heavy rain that he contracted wind and cold and became weak...
Jia Xu looked thin. He took off his clothes, but he had big chunks of tendon meat... He didn't even bother to draw his sword, and rushed directly in front of Cao Cao, kicking him in the face.
"puff…"
"Oh..."
Finally, the black figure somersaulted to the ground, looking extremely painful, which also symbolized that he had lost his fighting ability.
"Get this thief for me!"
"Old Huang...it's okay! No need to hide anymore..."
Jia Xu snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves, looking quite confident.
"Haha... Wen He is so skilled."
Cao Cao didn't panic, because he knew that his life would not be threatened, but he was quite puzzled, why in broad daylight...there were assassins in this Ma Mansion?
"It's not a thief's prostitution, it's not a thief's prostitution, Prime Minister, it's oh, oh it's Ma Niang!"
However, the most unexpected thing for everyone was that the "assassin" sat on the ground and started crying. Cao Cao then realized that the man's face was swollen like a pig's head, and he curled his lips with disgust on his face.
"Ma Niang? Please speak up, whose mother are you?"
Jia Xu saw that the other party refused to change despite repeated admonitions and even wanted to conceal his identity, so he tried to rush forward and beat him again.
At this moment, Huang Chengyan poked his head out of the door and screamed:
"Oh, Mr. Jia, don't hit, don't hit! This is Ma Liang, the fourth master of the Ma family!"
