After leaning for a while, the main gate of Cao's Mansion was opened once, and then, Cao Jie's younger brother, Cao Poshi, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, personally greeted him, which could be regarded as giving face to someone who claimed to have come to visit.

"Captain Cao," Gongsun Xun smiled like a flower, plus a plain robe, a white horse and a silver saddle, if he didn't know the good things he did a few days ago, I might think that this was his son-in-law coming to visit relatives. "How can you work to greet me in person, I don't know where Cao Gong is now, don't you look down on me and don't want to see me?"

"Hey, where did Gongsun Langzhong say?" Cao Poshi stared at the short knife on the other party's waist and replied stubbornly. "My eldest brother has been sitting at home since he was disturbed by rumors, resigned from the post of Da Changqiu and returned to Fu Jie, and Gongsun Langzhong can see my eldest brother even if he comes in the middle of the night."

"That's ......," Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing.

"Please!" Cao Poshi didn't notice that there was sweat on his head, but stiffened his body and let go of the door.

Seeing this, Gongsun Xun was not polite, and immediately took Han Dang, Wei Yue, Jia Chao and other warriors, crossed the sword and held the bow, and directly entered the Cao Mansion. And he didn't need that Cao Poshi to lead the way, so he took the lead, and walked straight to the backyard of the house with great arrogance!

In other words, it was not that there were no loyal vacancies in the Cao Mansion, nor that there were no brave guests, and it was not that no one wanted to stop these warriors, but they were still a little inferior when facing opponents who were obviously in the army, and they were pushed aside in a few strokes. Moreover, when they immediately looked at their 'second master' out of instinct, they found that this Yue Cavalry captain had already turned pale, not only did he not have the slightest intention of stopping him, but he followed Gongsun Xun to the backyard with a sweat...... The master didn't let him stop, so what else do you have to do with these people?!

Gongsun Xun led a bunch of full-time murderous warriors all the way into the backyard, and from a distance, he saw Cao Jie, who was not wearing a crown and had gray hair, playing cards with a bearded scribe under the porch, that is, the kind of three monkeys with one pig...... The common name is called the animal card, and the scientific name is the four seasons zodiac card.

You know, this is like the most mainstream entertainment method today, and the Son of Heaven plays it.

Seeing this, Gongsun Xun let the rest of the people stay in the courtyard, and then stepped forward alone, came to the porch to watch the battle, and after just a few glances, he couldn't help laughing.

"Why is Gongsun Langzhong laughing?" Cao Jie asked calmly while looking at the ivory-textured Four Seasons card standing in front of him. "Can you tell I'm not playing well through the back of the cards?"

"It's nature." Gongsun Xun laughed more and more. "Two people play cards, the number of cards is fixed, then one side can look at their cards can roughly think of the other party's cards, and I look at the two cards naturally can also know something...... With all due respect, Cao Gong, you are old, so you have repeatedly played cards and made mistakes! However, the most pitiful thing is the bearded guest in your house, this is so young, and he knows at a glance that he is a smart man with a sense of proportion, so although he knows that Cao Gong has repeatedly made mistakes, although he has a chance to win early tomorrow, he can only follow the cards to tease Cao Gong's heart. ”

Cao Jie laughed when he heard this, he first pointed his finger at Luo Mu opposite, and then knocked down all the ivory Four Seasons cards on the table between the two.

"Looks like I'm a villain!" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but smile and sigh. "It's ruined Cao Gong's interest."

"No, no," Cao Jie smiled and waved his hand. "I think Gongsun Langzhong came just in time. You don't know, old man, I have been living at home for so long, and I can only play cards every day for entertainment. But most of the people in this house play cards, and most of them let me, and the only one who dares to stop me is my brother who wipes the sweat behind you. It's just that he's a very stupid person, and he only likes to draw cards to gamble money than the zodiac, and a gamble is a night, so I don't bother to let him come...... So if Gongsun Langzhong has nothing to do, why don't you sit down and come with me for two rounds? ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Gongsun Xun immediately gave up his hand, and sat directly under the porch.

Then, naturally, there are maids who come up to help shuffle the cards, stack cards, split cards, and code cards, which is also trouble-free.

"Look at what Gongsun Langzhong means, isn't he also an expert?" Cao Jie was a little curious when he saw the other party sitting down so simply. "Am I not killing myself, then?"

"Cao Gong doesn't know," at this time, the bearded guest, that is, Luo Mu, hurriedly said with a smile. "This Four Seasons brand was originally made by Gongsun Langzhong's mother, and it was also spread from his family's business name, and it was Wanluo that this place also began to spread from Gongsun Langzhong in the Yizhuang of the Qi family."

"I see." Cao Jie suddenly realized, and then pointed to Luo Mu and made a recommendation to Gongsun Xun. "Speaking of which, Gongsun Langzhong may not know that my confidant guest once received the grace of your life!"

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be stunned, and then he reacted, the bearded man in front of him was the 'insider' who repeatedly passed on the news of Wang Fu and others, but only said how quiet Cao Jie was.

When Na Luo Mu heard this, he also hurried to meet him with a big salute and said that he was a good man.

In any case, after such a toss, the atmosphere has eased a lot, and the three of them play cards, and there is a bit of fun after all.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there was a group of saber warriors standing not far from the courtyard, it would really be more and more like a son-in-law coming to the door to have fun with the elders.

"Oh, why is Wen Qi so ruthless?" After losing three times in a row, Cao Jie, who had just changed his name, couldn't bear it at all. "You need to know that I am an elder, where can I be as aggressive as you? I have a good handful of cards that are so rotten that I have them all rotted in your hands, and I haven't played a single one! ”

Gongsun Xun laughed: "Gong Cao misunderstood, why don't I want to let you?" But you have to know, this four seasons card was created by my mother, I have been playing with her since I was a child, but my mother is a powerful character, if you play with her, unless you take advantage of her suspicious time to hit and rush, it is extremely difficult to win...... After a long time, I can't change this problem! ”

Cao Jie bowed slightly, but asked with a smile: "Is Ling Tang so powerful?" ”

"IMHO." Gongsun Xun stared at the other party and continued to smile. "My mother's talent is well known in Youzhou, and even Master Lu is also proud of herself."

"Oh?"

"Actually, I sometimes feel emotional." Gongsun Xun suddenly sighed again. "It would be nice if this dynasty allowed a woman to be an official, in that case, where do I need to work so hard in Luozhongbo to have a future, I am afraid that I will be born as the son of the minister!"

Cao Jie and Luo Mu couldn't help but grin.

"Even, I may not have to sigh about the difficulties of the court at that time." Gongsun Xun also continued to laugh. "Because, with the ability of the mother, what eunuchs and villains are afraid that they will be eradicated by her ten years earlier, where will there be any hens turning into males, and then there will be earthquakes and solar eclipses every few months?"

Cao Jie's smile froze on his face: "Wen Qi is really aggressive!" ”

"A little card skill made Cao Gong smile." Gongsun Xun hurriedly surrendered his hand.

"It's rare for Wen Qi to come to my house to visit." After a moment's pause, for some reason, Cao Jie suddenly laughed again. "How can I stop because I lost so badly? Let's play a few more rounds, and you'll definitely win it back! ”

Gongsun Xun immediately stroked his palms and laughed, and urged the maid to open the card game again. However, for some reason, after the maidservant stacked the ivory cards for the three of them, he raised his hand and slid the broken knife on his waist out, and then the handle fell directly onto several cases and knocked down several cards.

Cao Jie couldn't help frowning slightly: "Playing a card, why do you still have a knife?" ”

"I was wrong." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

But having said that, when he picked up the knife, he took the handle of the knife and pulled it out, the knife flashed, and the corridor couldn't help but stagnate, and the courtyard was also tight, and Cao Poshi, who was originally quite far away, took a few steps back directly, and almost ran out of the backyard.

"Good knives." Luo Mu suddenly twisted his beard and said. "This is the short knife that forced Duan Jiming's dozens of knives to dare not come out of the sheath that day, right?"

"I heard that it is a relic of King Xiang?" Cao Jie also asked with a slight curiosity.

"Exactly." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "So, for this knife, what kind of merit is to force Duan Jiming to retreat? King Xiang used this knife to divide the world, and Dong Zhongying swept the western frontier after getting it, but when it came to me, I could only kill a few prisoners...... I often feel ashamed of not hiding it from Cao Gong. ”

Cao Jie shook his head again and again: "What did Wen Qi say?" In the battle of fire and bullet sweat, don't you also avoid the sword and arrow, and fight in front of this knife? I heard that you were hit by an arrow in battle, but you got up and continued to urge the army? ”

"Cao Gong is so careful, can he actually know such a trivial matter on the front line?" Gongsun Xun asked.

"Heroic feats, naturally some people will praise them, where is the position to decide whether to hear or not?" Cao Jie is becoming more and more positive. "But Wenqi, I don't have a word to say and be unhappy."

"Cao Gong, please speak."

"In the army, there is a clear distinction between the enemy and the enemy, so it is natural to ride a horse and hold a sword in person, and set an example in the army in everything." Cao Jie did not avoid the sword light in the sight of the two, and calmly persuaded. "But in Luozhong, everything is intertwined, and there is no way to say the word enemy between people, at this time with a knife, slashing everywhere every day, it looks majestic, everyone is afraid for a while, but in fact, isn't it all cut off their back roads?"

Gongsun Xun stared at Cao Jie for a moment, and then bowed slightly: "Cao Gong is extremely right, it is my youthful spirit and excessive behavior. ”

As he spoke, he immediately looked back and beckoned Han Dang to step forward, and handed the knife to the other party for safekeeping.

"What is this strong man called?" Seeing this, Cao Jie couldn't help but ask easily.

"This is my fellow villager Han Dang Han Yigong." Gongsun Xun naturally praised his henchmen by the way. "He has followed me for the longest time, not to mention, the benefits of the bow and horse are also a must, he is the most frank one who killed Ke with an arrow in the first battle of Liucheng, and he is also the first to cross the ......revenge water in the battle of Danhan Mountain."

"Such a hero, what is the position first?" Luo Mu on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Before leaving the fortress, he had already become the marquis of the Qu army, but when he was rewarded after the war, he resigned from his position in the army, and now he is my retainer and has no official status."

"It's a pity." Cao Jie shook his head slightly,

"Yes," Gongsun Xun sighed as well. "I often feel wronged by him."

"What did Shaojun say?" Just as Cao Jie was about to continue to say something, Han Dang, who took the knife, immediately frowned. "It's just a martial artist in the army! And if the martial artists in this world have all fought side by side with Shaojun like me, how many people will not be impressed by Shaojun's bearing? If you can follow Shaojun in this life and not fall behind, you will definitely be able to comfort your life! ”

After saying this, Han Dang immediately held his knife and retreated, standing still in the courtyard.

And Cao Jie also sighed more and more when he heard this: "The characters in the world can have an excellent place to be convenient, this Han Yigong is brave and loyal, and Wen Qi is a good blessing!" ”

Gongsun Xun raised his hand and pointed at the bearded Luo Mu: "What if you are loyal and wise?" Why should Cao Gong favor one over the other? ”

At this point, Cao Jie was stunned at first, and then finally laughed again with Gongsun Xun...... Next, the two of them stopped talking nonsense, but talked about household trivialities while playing cards seriously.

And in the evening, Gongsun Xun officially said goodbye, and Cao Jie actually held hands in person, and then opened the middle door and sent it out, and promised to find a few cats in the house of the powerful in Luozhong in front of the door to send them over, so as to prevent the other party from continuing to have a life with his wife for this trivial matter...... That's pretty impressive.
