Chapter 864: Chicken Soup

Early the next morning

Zhou Fan and Cao Cao appeared very punctually outside the Han family ancestral hall, waiting for the summons of the little emperor inside.

"Hey!" Looking at the dilapidated Han family ancestral hall in front of him, Zhou Fan also sighed, today the Han family ancestral hall is still there, and the Han family is still there, but it won't be long before the Han family will not exist, and I don't know what kind of fate this Han family ancestral hall related to the Han family will end.

"Yuanyang, according to the rules, foreign ministers like you and me face saints, then they have to prepare tribute, I don't know if you are prepared?" Cao Cao looked at Zhou Fan and asked.

"This ...... There really isn't a ......" Zhou Fan pretended to be shocked and shouted, how could he forget this, but he deliberately didn't prepare.

At this time in history, Cao Cao saw the little emperor and didn't prepare anything, but he was quick to prepare a pot of chicken soup, and the little emperor who hadn't eaten meat for more than half a year was grateful.

But Zhou Fan didn't want to please the little emperor this time, so naturally he didn't have to care about anything, just let Lao Cao behave well, so that he could take the little emperor away smoothly.

"Otherwise, what I prepared here will also be shared with you!" Cao Cao said generously, he has absolute confidence in himself, but he doesn't mind sharing this credit with Zhou Fan.

"No need, it's just some tribute, I'll still take it, Aman, go get that belt!" Zhou Fan said to Dianman behind him.

"No!" Dian Man promised to say, turned around and ran back, and after a while, he ran back again, and handed Zhou Fan a belt inlaid with countless exquisite gems, which was obviously not ordinary.

"This belt was handed down by the ancestors in the past, and now it is suitable to use it to dedicate it to His Majesty!" Zhou Fan said with a smile.

"Gao Zu's belt, that's rare!" Cao Cao just nodded lightly, but there was no expression on his face, because he knew very well that this belt was very formal, but compared to the tribute he prepared, it was definitely far inferior.

"Your Majesty has an order, Xuanyi Zhou Fan, Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao is like a saint!" It's different, there is a little embarrassed little emperor who rushed in and shouted loudly.

"Mengde, let's go together!" Zhou Fan said.

"Enter the ...... together," Cao Cao said, and the two walked in side by side, and Zhou Yu and others also followed in.

Soon, the two of them walked into the ancestral hall of the Han family, and at this moment, there was a small place inside, full of people standing everywhere, which seemed a little crowded, and at the top, the little emperor was sitting there like this.

After all, this is just an ancestral hall, naturally it is not big, unlike the court in Luoyang, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, and now here, just nearly a hundred people, there are already some people who can't stand, plus these civil and military officials are embarrassed one by one, more like beggars than beggars, if you don't say it, it is estimated that no one would have thought that they would be those civil and military officials with monstrous power in the past.

"Minister Zhou Fan (Cao Cao) See Your Majesty......" Zhou Fan and Cao Cao saluted the little emperor at the same time, although they have long since stopped taking the little emperor in their eyes, but in front of so many people, they still have to pretend.

"The two Aiqing don't need to be polite, I suffered this catastrophe, but I don't want you two to be willing to save me, the two Aiqing are really well-deserved loyal ministers!" The little emperor said movingly.

He has endured a lot of hardships over the years, and now that he has seen Zhou Fan and Cao Cao, he understands that he will not suffer any more, so he is naturally very excited.

However, what he never imagined was that Cao Cao came here just to make the little emperor a puppet, and Zhou Fan was even more to kill him, if he knew these cruel facts, I don't know how he would feel.

"The minister is late for rescue, please atone for your sins, the minister still has a heart here, please accept it!" Zhou Fan said, waved his hand at the person behind him, and immediately presented the belt to him.

When the little eunuch from before saw it, he hurriedly ran down, took the end plate, and presented it.

"This is ......" The little emperor asked with some puzzlement, looking at the belt.

"Your Majesty, this is the belt handed down by the ancestors in the past, and now the things are returned to the original owner to Your Majesty, I believe that with the blessing of the ancestors, Your Majesty will be able to regain the glory of the Han Dynasty!" Zhou Fan said.

"Gaozu's belt, good, good, Zhou Aiqing said it well, with Gaozu's blessing, I will definitely be able to be auspicious!" The little emperor took it with an excited face, and even directly replaced his belt, it was obvious that Gaozu Liu Bang's things could bring him a lot of comfort.

"Your Majesty, there is also a gift here!" After seeing that Zhou Fan had finished sending it, Cao Cao also stood up, holding a bronze tripod in his hand, and said.

"Yes, Cao Aiqing has something to send, submit it!" The little emperor said.

The little eunuch also hurriedly ran down and wanted to take it, but Cao Cao refused, and he himself walked in front of the little emperor with the bronze tripod.

"Your Majesty, can you guess what's inside?" Cao Cao said.

"Gold, silver, jewelry?"

"Not ......"

"Silk silk?"

"It's not ...... either"

"That'...... What's that, exactly? The little emperor asked.

"It's what His Majesty wants most at the moment!" Cao Cao said.

"What do I want most?" The little emperor looked confused, he didn't know what he wanted most now.

"Your Majesty, please uncover it!" Cao Cao said.

Hearing this, the little emperor stretched out his hand and opened the lid, and the next moment, a rich smell of meat came out.

"This ...... This is ......" The little emperor shouted excitedly, swallowing his saliva uncontrollably, this is clearly a pot of broth.

"This is a pot of chicken soup, please eat for your majesty!" Cao Cao said.

"Cao Aiqing, you still know me, I have been in the capital for almost a year, and I haven't smelled meat!" The little emperor was so excited that he was about to cry, completely ignoring any etiquette, and directly devoured it, and shouted a few delicious sounds from time to time.

"Gollum!" Soon, the sound of swallowing saliva came out, and the smell of chicken soup quickly filled the entire ancestral hall, those civil and military officials, but there is no better than the little emperor, I haven't smelled meat for more than half a year, and I can't even eat enough, and now I smell such a fragrant broth, and saliva is flowing down.

"Come on, serve your lords for dinner!" Cao Cao clapped his hands and said, and suddenly a group of soldiers walked in with food, and those civil and military officials pounced on them one by one like hungry wolves, and ate them like crazy.
