Cao Shan feels very good about Chen Zhou.
Cao Cao said more than once that when Chen Zhou comes back, he will arrange for them to get married.
Cao Shan was looking forward to this. In addition, Chen Zhou was good-looking and very capable. People around her father were full of praise for Chen Zhou, so she was full of longing for her future husband.
Seeing Cao Ang arrange for Chen Zhou to ride with him in the car, Cao Shan just felt ambiguous but had no objection at all.
He could even make way for Chen Zhou to sit next to him.
For ancient people, this behavior was too intimate.
But Cao Shan didn't care at all.
"Thank you, miss."
After Chen Zhou sat down, the inside of the carriage seemed very narrow. The two of them basically sat next to each other, feeling closer than ever before.
The faint fragrance of my daughter's home filled the carriage.
There is also a breath called ambiguity, which is exuded unconsciously and ripples in the carriage, just like their thoughts are also ripples.
Inside the carriage, it was quiet at first.
However, Chen Zhou could feel that Cao Shan was shaking slightly, and her delicate little hands were red from the cold. The weather outside was so cold, even inside the carriage, it was unavoidable.
"Cold?"
Chen Zhou said softly: "Young master is the same, knowing that the weather is not good now, yet he asked you to come out to blow the cold wind."
After saying this, he took Cao Shan's hand, put it to his mouth and breathed some heat to warm her up, and then put it in his arms to keep warm.
Those beautiful little hands are really cold.
Even through the thick clothes, Chen Zhou could feel the coldness.
At this moment, Cao Shan blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes beating lightly.
The big eyes were shining with a strange light, and Chen Zhou's shadow was reflected in the black and white eyeballs.
She looked at Chen Zhou in disbelief.
I never thought that this future husband would be so courageous and could keep himself warm like this.
You need to know the difference between men and women...
next moment.
Cao Shan blushed, and a beautiful blush appeared on her delicate and snow-white face, just like the wintersweet blooming quietly outside the carriage, in the cold winter.
So lovely!
Chen Zhou saw that she had no objection, and then thought that she was betrothed to him by Cao Cao, so he moved more intimately, held her in his arms, hugged her gently, and said, "Are you still cold?"
This was the first time for Cao Shan to be so close to a man.
I just felt a warmth spreading over Chen Zhou.
It warmed my heart.
In addition to being warm, there is also a sweet feeling.
Cao Shan's heart was beating very fast, pounding, that was probably it.
"It's not cold anymore."
Cao Shan replied gently and threw herself completely into Chen Zhou's arms.
"Let's go back!"
Cao Ang's voice sounded outside.
Then the carriage moved, its wheels crushing the snow, leading them back to Xudu City.
When they arrived in the city, the carriage first took Cao Shan back to Sikong Mansion.
After getting up from Chen Zhou's arms, Cao Shan was still a little reluctant to separate, but thinking that they would get married in a while, the temporary separation didn't matter.
"I'm going to pay a visit to my lord first."
Chen Zhou originally wanted to go home directly, but Cao Ang came to greet him and came to the door of Sikong Mansion. It was necessary to go in and etiquette could not be omitted.
Following Cao Ang and Cao Shan into the mansion, he also saw Cao Cao, briefly talked about the pacification of Guanzhong, and left quickly.
Cao Cao and Cao Zhen will take care of the rest of the next things.
When Cao Ang sent Chen Zhou off again, Cao Cao said, "Zidan, bring the heads of Li Jue and Guo Si."
After a while, Cao Zhen sent two heads.
Cao Cao identified it and found that it was indeed Guo Si and Li Jue. He was overjoyed and said: "Du Zhi did a good job. I will put the heads away first. I will go to the palace to present them to the emperor tomorrow morning. By the way, the horse Du Zhi mentioned Meng Qi, are you still here?"
Cao Zhen said: "Outside."
"Quick pass!"
Soon, Ma Chao came in.
Cao Cao looked at Ma Chao for a moment and praised: "What a brave general! Zi Dan, take my sword. I give the sword to the hero."
He has two swords.
A handful of green hair, a handful leaning against the sky.
He gave Qingzhi to Ma Chao.
Because Chen Zhou said that Ma Chao can stay as long as possible. He is also a fierce general and can help Cao Cao.
Of course Cao Cao believed Chen Zhou's words and sent the Qingzhi Sword directly to win over Ma Chao. At this moment, he unsheathed the sword and asked, "What do Meng Qi think of this sword?"
The sharp edge of Qingzhi is exposed, and the cold light flashes. At first glance, it looks like a peerless sword.
"Thank you for your love, my lord, but this sword is too good. I have just come under your lord's command, and I haven't made any achievements yet, so I dare not accept it."
Ma Chao fell in love with it the first time he saw it, but at first glance, it looked like Cao Cao's personal sword, so how could he dare to ask for it.
Cao Cao put the sword into Ma Chao's hand and said solemnly: "Meng Qi killed Guo Si, which is a great achievement. I have nothing to reward at the moment, only a sword."
Chen Zhou also said that Ma Chao was more important and more useful than Huangfu Yi and Duan Xuan.
These two people can just ask for merit in the court tomorrow. In addition to asking for merit, Ma Chao also needs to completely make him his own, and not let him just be loyal to the big man.
"Thank you, my lord."
Ma Chao took the green sword and bowed deeply.
At this moment, he was grateful.
When you first come to Xudu, you can get courtesy from Cao Cao.
——
Chen Zhou didn't know what Lao Cao was doing. As the carriage returned to his home, he took off his cloak and threw it to the two maids. He looked at his home in Xudu again and found that nothing had changed. He was running around in Chang'an. After so long, I can finally rest comfortably.
But just after he came back, the maid came to tell him that Guo Fengxiao was here.
Guo Jia walked through the wind and snow and entered the hall. He smiled and said, "I came here uninvited."
"Fengxiao can come, I wish for you."
Chen Zhou smiled in return and said, "Please come in quickly."
The two of them went into the house and lit a charcoal basin to keep warm.
It was already evening at this time, so Chen Zhou simply asked the maid to prepare wine and food, and set up a copper pot on the charcoal basin, which was something he had asked to make before.
While eating hot pot, drink hot wine.
"Watazuki really knows how to enjoy."
Guo Jiamei drank a glass of wine, and the coldness just now disappeared, and continued: "As a representative of Wen Ruo and Zhicai, I came to visit you in triumph. This time when I came back from Guanzhong, it was not only Guanzhong that was pacified, but also Guan Zhong. It seems that even Ma Teng of Liangzhou was subdued by Duzhi."
"Easy to do."
Chen Zhou said politely: "Guanzhong has been pacified, but Liangzhou is still close."
Guo Jia asked: "Is Du Zhi talking about Han Sui?"
"Of course!"
"Han Sui's problem is not big. As long as Ma Teng is around, it will be easy to suppress him."
Guo Jia said disapprovingly: "Han Sui is just a common man."
Chen Zhou toasted him with a glass of wine and asked, "There haven't been many things going on in Xu Du lately, right?"
"not much!"
Guo Jia said: "Probably the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty began to clamor to focus on repairing Luoyang and wanted to return to Luoyang. They did not give up and continued to contact Liu Bei and others. But now Liu Bei cannot protect himself, so how can he have time to pay attention to the emperor? Duzhi thinks , what should we do next?”
Chen Zhou recalled the history and said: "How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed? Clear the obstacles around Xudu, and then we can wait for Yuan Shu to become emperor, seek Xuzhou, and finally confront Yuan Shao!"
Obstacles around Xudu?
Guo Jia immediately remembered Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew who had recently gone south to attack Nanyang, and asked, "Is Du Zhi talking about Wancheng?"
"That's right!"
Chen Zhou nodded slightly.
I wonder if Boss Cao will take the most expensive shot in his life.
