After paying homage, Yang Ling was led by Xi Zhicai's son to the side hall.
Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and other civil servants and generals were resting in the hall.
"Ziyi shouldn't mind if Gu failed to go to the city gate to greet him."
Cao Cao said with a bitter smile.
When he and Yang Ling left Xudu, Boss Cao's hair was already mostly gray and his appearance was getting older.
Wancheng's defeat was already a heavy blow.
Now Xi Zhicai's death has made his heart even more desolate!
"Wei Gong, what are you talking about?"
Yang Ling shook his head and sighed,
"I didn't expect Zhicai to go like this."
"Old friends are dying one after another, like leaves falling in the wind..."
When Cao Cao said these words, his expression was quite desolate.
Today, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao... those heroes who were once active in the courts, states and counties have gradually fallen.
This situation really makes people feel sad!
Infected by Cao Cao's emotions, Yang Ling couldn't help but whispered,
"the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero.
Right and wrong, success or failure turn around in vain.
Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns.
The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter on the Nagisa River is used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.
Happy reunion over a pot of wine.
Many things in ancient and modern times are all talked about with laughter. "
The tone of this poem is generous and tragic. After listening to it, everyone felt soul-stirring and endless aftertaste, adding thousands of emotions to their hearts.
"As expected of Yang Ziyi, a man of great talent. Hearing this poem will really make him die without any regrets!"
Xun Yu shook his head and sighed.
"So many things in ancient and modern times are all made up of jokes..."
Cao Cao murmured and repeated. At this moment, he remembered the happy time when he was young and went to rob the bride with Yuan Shao.
At that time, although he and Yuan Shao accomplished nothing, they were carefree!
But now, although he has been granted the title of Duke of Wei, his old friends no longer exist.
Even if one day in the future, he really becomes the emperor, he still cannot avoid death!
The romantic figures of the ages, regardless of success or failure, have been swept away in the long river of history. Only the green mountains and green waters will last forever!
Yang Ling felt a little embarrassed when he saw that the atmosphere had become dull due to him.
He coughed lightly and reported to Cao Cao in detail what happened in Liangzhou.
After hearing this, Cao Cao nodded approvingly.
"Zi Yi did a really good job during this trip to Liangzhou, and he really did not disappoint me!"
"Young Master Wei, you're welcome. This is just the duty of a subordinate."
Yang Ling smiled modestly.
Cao Cao winked and signaled everyone to step aside for now.
When only he and Yang Ling were left in the side hall, he said,
"I heard that Cai Zhonglang's daughter was brought back by you?"
Yang Ling was stunned, then nodded honestly and said,
"It's true."
"Hey, Gu and her father have a very good personal relationship, but now her family is gone. How about this, you send her to Gu's house. Her father is not here, so Gu needs to take good care of her."
Although Cao Cao said it politely, Yang Ling was very clear in his heart!
At that time, Cao Cao had a good relationship with Cai Yong, and he would visit Cai Yong when he had nothing to do. As time went by, he developed a good impression of Cai Yan.
However, there was a gap in seniority between the two parties, so in the end they could only watch Cai Yan being married to Hedong Wei Zhongdao.
Now that he heard that Yang Ling had brought Cai Yan back, he felt a little anxious in his heart.
"This...to be honest, father-in-law, she has already moved into the son-in-law's house."
Yang Ling said awkwardly.
"you!"
Cao Cao glared at Yang Ling.
The two stared at each other, and after a moment, Cao Cao said helplessly,
"Okay, since she stays in your house, you have to take good care of her in the future. She is a hard-working woman after all!"
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Yang Ling saluted immediately, feeling secretly happy in his heart.
It seems that although Boss Cao likes women, he still can't bear to compete with his son-in-law for a woman.
"You have worked hard on this expedition, please go back and rest."
Cao Cao waved his hand.
"Then my son-in-law will resign for now."
Yang Ling bowed his hands and left Xi Zhicai's mansion, heading towards his home.
At this time, in the lobby of Yang Mansion, Cai Yan was surrounded by women.
"Hey, Sister Zhaoji has been really suffering for so many years."
Cao Qing held Cai Yan's hand, her eyes a little red.
When she was a child, she followed Cao Cao and visited Cai Yong. At that time, she also practiced a piece of piano and chess with Cai Yan.
"Now it seems like it's nothing."
Cai Yan just smiled, his face calm and peaceful.
While they were talking, Yang Ling walked in and said with a smile,
"Don't worry, Zhaoji. Since you have joined my Yang family, you are a member of my Yang family. From now on, my husband will definitely not let you suffer again."
"My husband is back!"
As soon as the girls saw Yang Ling, they all stood up and went to greet him.
Yang Ling hugged them one by one and said with a smile,
"Of course, Qing'er, Zhen'er, Yueying...the same goes for you. My husband will not let you suffer at all!"
"Thank you husband!"
The girls said in unison, with happy smiles on their faces.
Although Cai Yan didn't speak, he pursed his lips and felt quite sweet in his heart.
Father, your soul in heaven can finally rest in peace!
…
After Cai Yan was settled, Yang Ling and all the wives finished their dinner and started chatting in the lobby.
As the heads of the family, Cao Qing and Mi Zhen also reported to him everything that had happened recently in the house and in Xudu.
"Our tobacco business is not going very smoothly. The Zhen family, relying on the support of their son, has been attacking us."
Mi Zhen frowned and sighed quietly.
"I didn't expect that my husband, with his good intentions, would actually breed a white-eyed wolf."
Cao Qing said angrily.
After the two parties fell out, Yang Ling handed over the tobacco business to the Mi family.
On the other side, the Zhen family not only continued to run the tobacco business, but also used Cao Pi's power to suppress the Mi family many times.
It's actually a bit excessive.
But Yang Ling seemed not to hear what they said, and just teased Yang Yuan in Cao Qing's arms.
Yang Ling has been out fighting for so long, and it is really strange to Yang Yuan.
He hid in Cao Qing's arms and didn't want to talk to Yang Ling.
"Hey, husband, did you listen to the two of us?"
Cao Qing pouted.
"Of course my husband listened."
Yang Ling smiled and hugged her and Mi Zhen into his arms.
"Since the Zhen family doesn't want us to do it, we just don't do it."
"Why is this?!"
The two girls were immediately unhappy.
The Zhen family was a secret plot arranged by Yang Ling around Cao Pi. No one knew about it except Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, and the Zhen family.
Yang Ling didn't want to say so much, so he said with a straight face,
"My husband, how can there be so many reasons? By the way, go and call Yueying over. If your husband needs anything, come to her."
Seeing Yang Ling's resolute attitude, the two girls could only stand up obediently and call Huang Yueying over.
Huang Yueying held Yang Ling's second son Yang Yue in her arms and walked over slowly.
"Husband, do you have something to do with me?"
"Well, I hope you can help me design a weapon..."
