Chen Zhi practiced dragon pattern riding, which shortened the time of daily travel.

The journey that was supposed to be completed in more than ten days, Cao Shuo led the team for half a month.

Come to Yecheng.

Before they reached the city gate, dozens of fast horses came out of it.

The first person was Yuan Shang, who had received Cao Shuo.

Riding a horse in front of Cao Shuo, Yuan Shang arched his hand and said: "Zirong, it's been almost a year, and now we meet again!" ”

Cao Shuo returned the salute and said: "I'm here when I come, how dare I trouble my brother to go out of the city to greet me?" ”

"You're different now than you used to be." Yuan Shang said with a smile: "You are famous, and whoever brings news about you must say how good you are and how you have broken the enemy army with a few soldiers and horses." ”

"I'm ashamed of my brother when he says that!" Cao Shuo said: "To tell the truth, every time I win a battle, either the opponent doesn't take me seriously, or I bargain for some big gains. ”

"Zirong and others are humble, so they don't need to be in front of me." Yuan Shang said with a smile: "Father has mentioned you in the past few months, and he has often asked our brothers to learn more. ”

"Why did I only see the third brother, but not the eldest brother and the second brother?" Cao Shuo asked.

"The eldest brother and the second brother are now in Yijing." Yuan Shang said: "The old thief Gongsun Zan actually opened up wasteland and cultivated land in Yijing City, causing our army to besiege it for several years, but he couldn't take down the city. ”

"Gongsun Chan is already at the end of his crossbow." Cao Shuo said: "Brother, don't worry, it's only a matter of time before the Yuan family takes Yi Jing." ”

"Don't mention the old thief." Yuan Shang said: "Zirong came to Hebei this time, is it for my sister-in-law's marriage?" ”

"Exactly." Cao Shuo said: "I'm not young anymore, and now my wife hasn't entered the door, and I don't have a son and a half daughter under my knees, and my parents are very anxious." In recent days, my father and mother have always urged me to come to Hebei as soon as possible and marry the young lady back. ”

Glancing behind Cao Shuo, Yuan Shang said, "Zirong not only brought so many people, but also brought many gifts. ”

"There aren't many people!" Cao Shuo said: "Although the gifts are not very expensive, they are a lot. My father was worried that he would encounter thieves on the road, so he asked me to bring more people with him to escort him. ”

Last time Cao Shuo came to Hebei, he met a bandit in the middle of the road.

His reason is still plausible.

"Don't talk here, my father heard that you could arrive today, and he was waiting early in the morning." Gently patting Cao Shuo's back, Yuan Shang smiled and said, "Your son-in-law seems to be more popular with him than those of us who are sons." ”

"Gong Yuan loves Miss, so he loves Wu and Wu." Cao Shuo said: "Third brother, don't worry, I took the young lady back to Xudu, and I will definitely treat her wholeheartedly and not let her suffer the slightest grievance." ”

"You dare to let her be wronged!" Yuan Shang said with a smile: "If you let me know that my sister has been wronged, the first one will not spare you!" ”

"That's it!" Cao Shuo replied: "Several brothers are among the dragons and phoenixes, no one I offend, and I don't dare to offend Miss Yuan!" ”

Accompanying Cao Shuo into Yecheng, Yuan Shang said: "Has Zirong heard of a thing? ”

"What?" Cao Shuo asked.

"When the Cao family crusaded against Zhang Xiu, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others instigated their father to use troops against Xu Du." Yuan Shang said.

"I heard!" Cao Shuo replied lightly: "When I got the news, I persuaded my father that the Yuan family in Hebei would definitely not send troops to Xudu. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shang asked, "Where did Zirong get his confidence?" ”

"My self-confidence comes from the Yuan family." Cao Shuo said: "If I hadn't met Yuan Gong and several brothers, I would definitely not be so confident. Since I met Yuan Gong last time, I have already decided that the Yuan family in Hebei and our Cao family will be friends for generations and will never turn our backs. ”

"It seems that the one who knows his father best is still Zirong." Yuan Shang said: "Although everyone is urging urgently, my father has never had the idea of sending troops to the Cao family. Zirong and Fang'er are about to get married, and Cao Gong and his father have also been ministers in the same hall for many years, and the two families should have been repaired, how can they say that they will fight? ”

"Isn't that what my brother said?" Cao Shuo said: "Actually, when I left Xudu, I was also reminded. ”

"Reminder of what?" Yuan Shang asked.

"Say that I came to Hebei this time." Cao Shuo said: "I think it's funny. I came to Hebei to marry a wife, and Duke Yuan treated me like his own son, and my brothers and I were like brothers. In addition to our Cao family's land, only Hebei is the most reassuring to me. I really don't know what these people think. ”

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said to Cao Shuo: "Zirong has such a thought, and his father must be very pleased. ”

"That's right!" Cao Shuo suddenly diverted the topic and asked Yuan Shang: "Brother, are these gifts I brought to the treasury or directly to the Yuan family?" ”

"My sister-in-law got married, what did the gifts do with the treasury?" Yuan Shang said: "Send these gifts to the treasury, how does my father know that Zirong values Fang'er?" Looking at the world, there are many families who marry brides, how many can give such generous gifts like the Cao family? ”

"It's not really rich." Cao Shuo said: "I also brought some things to several brothers in private. Mother-in-law, there is another small gift. ”

The news that Cao Shuo took the Jinying to dig the tomb of King Liang has long been known to the world.

He said that he had brought a gift, Yuan Shang's eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice, "What did Zirong bring?" ”

"It's all kitsch." Cao Shuo said: "I also got it by chance, it's not precious, but it's rare." Later, I had them delivered to the homes of the brothers. ”

As soon as Cao Shuo said this, Yuan Shang was even more sure that what he was going to send was a treasure taken out of the tomb of King Liang.

"This time I came to Hebei, it was really a cost to melt the son." Yuan Shang smiled brightly.

"It's not a big deal to give each other gifts." Cao Shuo said: "If I get any good things in the future, of course I won't forget the third brother!" ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, I'll thank Zirong first." Yuan Shang arched his hand to Cao Shuo.

The two of them talked and came to the main gate of Yuan's house.

Cao Shuo instructed the entourage: "Unload the gifts, send them to the mansion, and hand them over to the steward for counting!" ”

The entourage was busy unloading the car, while Cao Shuo and Yuan Shang dismounted.

Chen Zhi took a few dragon pattern riders and accompanied Cao Shuo into the gate of Yuan's house, while Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao took more people to wait at the place where they had just entered the main gate.

Before Cao Shuo entered the city, Yuan Shao was already waiting for him.

The antechamber of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shao sat on top, and his staff and generals sat on both sides of the hall.

A guard came in the front door.

He clenched his fists and said to Yuan Shao: "Qiqi Yuan Gong, the third prince has picked up Cao Zirong and has arrived outside the hall." ”

"Zirong is here!" Yuan Shao had a smile on his face and said to the guard, "Invite him in to talk." ”
