He Lian pointed sideways at Cao Cao and said to He Zhen: "Father, that is my daughter's savior. He is the son of the former Taiwei Cao Song. His name is Cao Cao and his courtesy name is Mengde. Last night, if Mr. Cao had not saved him, my daughter would have died. There is no place to bury him. Father, remember Mr. Cao’s appearance well. From now on, our family will repay Mr. Cao well.”
"Oh, my benefactor, please accept me and pay my respects."
Immediately, the He family members knelt down in front of Cao Cao, kowtowed to Cao Cao, and thanked Cao Cao for his kindness in rescuing He Lian.
Cao Cao hurriedly helped He Zhen up, then He Jin, then He Miao, He Feng, and finally He Mu.
Then, Cao Cao said obediently: "Uncle, from now on, the Cao family and the He family will be officials in the same dynasty. Please take good care of me, uncle."
~~
How do you really know what will happen next?
As a butcher, he only wanted his daughter to live a good life and live up to her beauty, but he never thought that he would be an official in the future.
Suddenly he saw Cao Cao bowing to salute him, and he said in horror: "Oh, Mr. Cao, you have to kill me. Come on, come on, please sit down."
He Lian came over and said to He Zhen: "Father, my daughter just came back to pack some supplies for the road and a few spare clothes, and will leave immediately. You and Mr. Cao can chat in Kyoto later, and His Majesty will give you a house and an official position." Mother, elder brother, younger brother, and younger sister will all have titles and official positions."
Then, she whispered to He Zhen: "Father, Mr. Cao also gave a hundred gold pieces to his daughter. It was he who gave the gift to Zhang Rang on his daughter's behalf. Therefore, Mr. Cao will always be our family's benefactor. Please tell me about this later. Pass it on to the family. Now, my daughter has to pack her things quickly. In addition, my daughter will leave fifty gold pieces for you. From now on, you will have everything, and you will no longer have to be a butcher, and you will no longer have to worry about your livelihood."
After saying that, she turned around, took her sister He Feng's hand, and went back to her room to pack her things.
~~
He Zhen was stunned and stayed in place.
A hundred gold?
Oh my God!
What good luck did my He family have?
How could God protect my He family!
~~
Cao Cao came over and met with He Jin and He Miao.
He Jin and He Miao were so excited that they couldn't speak clearly.
It was the first time in their lives that they had a close chat with the son of a high-ranking official!
They kept saying hello and thanking Cao Cao.
Nothing else was said, and I didn’t know what to say.
~~
Later, He Zhen came to his senses, pulled He Jin and He Miao away, and told him that Cao Cao not only rescued He Lian, but also gave He Lian a hundred golds, and He Lian left fifty golds for his family. He whispered to his two sons.
"A hundred golds? Oh my God!"
He Jin and He Miao were both extremely excited and shouted loudly, unable to hold back.
They were so excited that they burst into tears. They were so excited.
I couldn't help it, I wanted to start shouting.
He Zhen hurriedly reached out to cover their mouths.
~~
Cao Cao cleverly turned around to avoid the embarrassment of the He family.
He's mother brought a bowl of water over, presented it to Cao Cao, and asked Cao Cao to sit down.
She saw that Cao Cao was handsome and had grand features.
Especially his pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, which look very heroic.
~~
Cao Cao bowed and thanked He's mother.
He took the bowl of water, drank it, and returned the bowl to He's mother.
In any case, he had to thank Mother He for giving birth to a good daughter, so that he got the beauty He Lian like a fairy.
He bowed to He's mother with a grateful heart.
He's mother whispered: "Mr. Cao, you are kind to my He family. My eldest daughter has no choice but to enter the palace and become a concubine. However, the younger daughter has not yet been married, so I will betroth her to you."
~~
Cao Cao was shocked and nodded.
He wanted He Feng to temporarily replace He Lian, and he could also suppress the pain in his heart.
Although He Lian agreed to Zhang Rang, she would marry her sister He Feng to Zhang Rang's son. However, Cao Cao never gave in to women unless he really couldn't get them.
Later, He Lian and her family bid farewell to Cao Cao in tears.
~~
Cao Cao drove his carriage back to the inn, feeling extremely lonely.
He actually cried all the way.
He was reluctant to let go of He Lian.
But this is destined to happen.
He Lian's eyes flashed in his mind from time to time.
He Lian's eyes were sparkling.
When she looked at him before leaving, there was so much emotion in her eyes.
~~
Unknowingly, Cao Cao returned to the inn feeling lonely.
Cao Hong noticed that Cao Cao's face was full of tears, so he asked nervously: "Brother, who bullied you? I beat him to death."
He is really honest and cute.
Cao Cao said angrily: "With my martial arts, who can bully me?"
Cao Hong nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes! Brother, my martial arts skills are incredible, who can bully you? Oh, by the way, was it the little fairy who bullied you? Where did she go?"
Cao Cao said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, go and rest quickly, and go on the road tomorrow to protect those beauties. Remember, if Zang Ba's men come to hijack them, you will fight them to death. Never let a robber escape."
"No!" Cao Hong bowed in response and turned around to inform Brother Xiahou.
~~
But at this time, Yuan Shao sent someone to summon Cao Cao to meet him.
Cao Cao came to the Xingren Inn and Yuan Shao's luxurious room.
Yuan Shao asked immediately: "Brother Meng Dexian, where did you die?"
Cao Cao was not in the mood.
He said in a low mood: "Just stroll around and wait for the battle tomorrow."
Yuan Shao asked with a half-smile, "Really? Then why did you go to Zhang Rang's place? Who is the little girl you are holding?"
~~
Cao Cao was shocked.
He didn't expect that his every move was under Yuan Shao's surveillance, but he also explained: "That was a little girl who was kidnapped by Taiping Dao. I just rescued her."
Yuan Shao said: "It's not that simple, right? That little girl is He Lian, right?"
Cao Cao said angrily: "Brother Benchu, are you my brother? You actually created a scout team privately and sent people to monitor me."
~~
Yuan Shao blushed and changed the subject.
He said meaningfully: "Brother Meng Dexian, you are very smart, but don't be fooled by your cleverness. He Lian, that is His Majesty's woman, do you dare to touch it? Are you looking for death? Zhang Rang originally did not let He Lian enter the palace. However, through your efforts, He Lian has now got her wish. You are amazing. However, Brother Yu is also very clear about your little thoughts. You just want to please the He family in advance. The night before yesterday, you said that Brother Yu is despicable and has a conspiracy. , isn’t it the same for you?”
Cao Cao said coldly: "Brother Benchu, although I am just a eunuch, except for this, I will not be worse than you in anything else. Farewell!"
After he said that, he turned around and left.
Yuan Shao threatened coldly: "Brother Meng Dexian, aren't you afraid that your whole family will be executed by your Majesty?"
Cao Cao's heart trembled, and he turned around and said, "If something happens to me, I will take you on my back. If it weren't for you, would I come to Wancheng?"
Yuan Shao was also frightened and came over quickly.
He pulled Cao Cao to sit back on the original couch, and said affectionately again: "Brother, we are actually of the same mind. Well, no matter what you have done or what you have not done, let's not talk about what happened before. , study carefully for tomorrow."
~~
Cao Cao also put away his temper and said calmly: "Don't worry, brother, I'll leave tomorrow's affairs to my younger brother. You just have to make meritorious service. In the future, if you can reward me with some merit, that would be even better. If not, I will have nothing." Complain.”
Yuan Shao said: "The night before yesterday, I tested your martial arts, but you failed. It means that you went to the northwest, had another adventure, and improved your martial arts. In the battle tomorrow, you have to be merciful, otherwise, Zang Ba will seek revenge on you in the future. .”
Cao Cao nodded and said, "No, my martial arts skills are average, but I can protect those beauties as my brother said."
Yuan Shao nodded.
Cao Cao stood up and left.
After he returned to the inn, he changed his mind and asked Xia Houen to leave the city and return to Beijing early tomorrow morning, and ask his father Cao Song to find someone to praise him for his filial piety and integrity.
Because in the battle tomorrow, he will make meritorious deeds.
Zhang Rang would also say good things in front of the emperor.
In this way, it is easy to push the boat.
The brothers were in great spirits and geared up.
~~
Because Cao Cao can be an official, they can also get some glory, at least as officials.
The next day, on the road, Zang Ba led his troops to kidnap the beauty.
Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others gathered bandits and encircled them.
They were also really ruthless, shooting arrows at the officers and soldiers first, killing many officers and soldiers.
Then, they rushed in and robbed the beautiful women.
~~
He Lian was so frightened that she would not expect that she would encounter robbers on the way to Beijing, and she was so frightened that she burst into tears.
She cried and shouted: "Mengde, Mengde, where are you? Come and save me, Mengde, Mengde, come and save me!"
In times of danger, the first thing she thought of was Cao Cao.
Perhaps, she has become Cao Cao's woman.
Maybe she really has feelings for Cao Cao.
Zhang Rang was so frightened that he got under the carriage.
~~
Cao Cao rode his horse like flying and came to rescue He Lian.
Regardless of the loss of his internal strength, he used his air-splitting palms to kill and injure countless robbers.
Suddenly, he rode through the area, dust was flying everywhere, and corpses were falling everywhere.
He quickly came to He Lian's side and protected He Lian.
~~
He Lian laughed through tears and put her arms around Cao Cao's neck.
She said ecstatically: "Haha, Mengde, I knew you would be true to your word. You are a good person and kind-hearted. You will definitely protect me from entering the capital smoothly and protect me from becoming the queen smoothly."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "That's right! I actually love you very much and I can't bear to let you go. But there is no way. Your Majesty is better than me. He is the master of the world. That is your goal in life."
When He Lian heard this, she suddenly felt very complicated.
Some other beauties also ran over.
~~
Cao Cao quickly let go of He Lian.
The two of them no longer dared to say anything.
Xiahou Dun was also ordered to protect Zhang Rang.
He pulled Zhang Rang out from under the carriage so that Zhang Rang could watch them kill the enemy and perform meritorious service. This was also arranged by Cao Cao last night.
