On the other side, Chen Qi and his son also returned home, and when they passed by the alley, someone suddenly said to them: "Please stay, two of you." ”

The father and son looked back and saw a man walking towards them in the dim alley.

Chen Deng stood in front of his father and asked vigilantly, "Who is Your Excellency?" What are you looking for us? ”

The man stopped when he walked in front of them, and saw that this man was wearing a mask and dressed in black, and he said to Chen Qi and his son: "Don't be afraid, you two, I am not your enemy, I am just here to deliver a letter for my master." ”

At this time, Chen Jue patted his son Chen Deng's shoulder, Chen Deng understood and let go to the side, but he always remained vigilant, and put his right hand on the saber at his waist.

Chen Jue asked, "Who is the owner of your family?" ”

The man in black with the mask arched his hand and said: "When Makino was singing, when the phoenix was singing Qishan, the old gentleman was far-sighted, and he naturally knew it in his heart, so why bother asking again?" My master's letter is here, the old gentleman can take it and read it, I hope the old gentleman will make a decision as soon as possible after reading it, and my master will wait for the good news from the gentleman and take his leave. ”

After the man in black finished speaking, he disappeared into the alley.

After the man in black left, Chen Qi glanced at the envelope, and then said to his son Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, take the fire and fold it." ”

Chen Deng reached into his pocket and handed the fire fold to his father Chen Qi.

Chen Qi opened the fire, blew up the fire, and then burned the letter that the man in black gave him.

"Father, are you sure you don't want to take a look?" Chen Deng saw that his father Chen Qi had burned the letter that had not been opened, and asked with some doubts.

Chen Jue sneered and said, "What's so good, think about it with your toes, you know what is written in it!" ”

As Chen Qi spoke, the letter had turned into a flame, and after burning for a moment, it turned into a pile of charred ashes, and it was no longer possible to see what had been written on it.

"That person is a messenger sent by Cao Cao to persuade his father?" Chen Deng asked.

Chen Qi said: "Cao Cao? I'm afraid there are others. ”

Chen Deng was surprised: "At this time, besides Cao Cao, who else will write to his father?" ”

Chen Qi said: "According to the report from the secret agent, this time Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, and the commander of the army was a young man named Guo Jia, and he was the one who wrote the letter. ”

Chen Deng thought for a moment and said, "Guo Jia? Haven't heard of it, is it a celebrity or a famous general? ”

Chen Jue glanced at his son Chen Deng, and said: "Yuanlong, I am already old, the burden of the family will fall on your shoulders sooner or later, now in troubled times, not to mention personal life, even if the survival of the family and even the country is only in the day, you should take a more long-term view, understand more about today's rising stars, in the future, it will be these young people who are active in the troubled times, if you don't even have this vision, our family may not be protected." ”

After listening to his father's words, Chen Deng bowed to Chen Qi in fear and said, "The child is useless, he has failed his father's expectations!" ”

Chen Jue twisted his beard and smiled: "That's not necessarily, in Xuzhou City, who doesn't know that my Chen Hanyu's son is the best among the younger generation?" Even if you compare with that Guo Jia, you won't necessarily lose to him! ”

Chen Deng was flattered and said ashamedly: "Father's words are serious, and the child only wants to live up to the reputation of the family and his father, and he knows enough." ”

Chen Qi said with a smile: "Yuanlong, you are also underestimating yourself, how can you say that you are also my son of Chen Hanyu, if you don't even have this confidence, how can you afford to be the pillar of the Chen family in the future?" ”

Chen Deng said: "Yes, the child understands! ”

Chen Qi smiled and said, "That's right, look at the Guo Jia who wrote the letter, he is young and very arrogant!" He compared Cao Cao to King Wu and himself to Lu Shang, and he also wanted me, a bad old man, to follow Ziqi and abandon business to invest in Zhou, which is really arrogant, hahaha! ”

Chen Deng said: "Father, I don't know what Guo Jia is capable of, so that Cao Cao can hand over the command of the army to him, does he really have the great talent of Zhang Liang and Lu Wangzhi?" ”

Chen Jue said: "I don't know if it's big, but with his current actions, it's true that he is bold." ”

Chen Deng asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Chen Qi said: "Today, the secret agent came to report that the vanguard of the Cao army has entered the territory of Xuzhou and is heading towards Xuzhou City. ”

Hearing Chen Qi's words, Chen Deng was taken aback and said, "How is it possible, didn't the news we received before say that Cao Jun is still in Yanzhou?" Why is it only a few days that the pioneer has already arrived in Xuzhou? ”

Chen Jue said: "Hmph, don't talk about you, even I was taken aback when I first received the news, I heard that this young man named Guo Jia led eight thousand vanguard cavalry, three days and three nights without rest, all the way to Xuzhou, if he is not an amazing strategy, he is a reckless fool." ”

Chen Deng still felt incredible, and said: "So, that Guo Jia broke away from the army and went deep into Xuzhou alone?" ”

Chen Qi nodded.

Chen Deng sighed again and again: "It's so bold, it's so bold!" ”

Seeing his son Chen Deng touching his chin there and thinking, Chen Jue knew that he had entered the state, his son had the same habit as him, that is, when he was actively thinking about problems, he couldn't help but make some kind of movement in his hands, his own habit was to twist his beard, and his son was used to touching his chin, often at this time, Chen Deng would think clearly and keenly, and come up with amazing ideas, so when Chen Jue saw his son Chen Deng touching his chin again, he quietly waited for him to see what kind of conclusion he would come to.
