There are still seven days before the day of the execution of Cai Yong Huatuo, Cao Cao did not delay the time at all, and after sending Cai Yan away, he entered the palace to face the saint, "please" Liu Xie, the son of heaven, to marry Zhao Yun and Cai Yan.

Just six days later, that is, before the execution, it was the auspicious day of the zodiac, and Cao Cao was very eager to set that six days later, Zhao Yun and Cai Yan would get married.

Of course, along with the marriage contract, there was also an announcement to the world to exempt Cai Yong from responsibility.

As a result, Cai Yong returned to Cao's mansion and returned to Cai Yan's side, in the courtyard arranged by Cao Cao, Cai Yan finally saw his father, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and hugged him instantly, tears couldn't stop flowing, wetting Cai Yong's clothes.

"Daddy, Zhao Ji thought that she would never see you again." The crying was a little quieter, and Cai Yan said with a sob.

Gently patting Cai Yan's back, Cai Yong, who looked much older, comforted softly: "Silly boy, isn't Dad coming back?" ”

"Well, Daddy is back, and Zhao Ji should be happy." Cai Yan got up from Cai Yong's embrace, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Akihime." Cai Yong called.

"I'm here."

"Why do you want to agree to Cao Mengde's marriage contract, my father is already dying, and it is not worth exchanging your life, my father hopes that you can get your wish and marry Du Zhong." Cai Yong said in a deep voice, his eyes never leaving Cai Yan's face.

Hearing this, Cai Yan just stiffened slightly, and then said with a smile: "Dad, Zhao Zilong is not bad, he is worthy of my life, so it is really the best of both worlds to save Dad." ”

"Really?" Cai Yong asked intently.

"Really."

Cai Yan smiled and grabbed Cai Yong's left arm, and continued: "Du Zhong has a gorgeous face, I don't want to snatch love with a knife, just like my father, only my mother is enough. ”

"Huayan? But your Uncle Hua's daughter Huayan? Cai Yong asked.

Cai Yan didn't answer, and nodded silently.

"Alas, for my father's death penalty, but your Uncle Hua could not be spared, in the final analysis, I still harmed your Uncle Hua, if I have the opportunity, I will try my best to protect Yan'er, and it can be regarded as leaving a bloodline for Hua Tuo." Cai Yong said with a light sigh.

"I'll find a chance to save Yan'er, don't worry, Daddy." Cai Yan said with a firm gaze.

"It's good that you have this heart."

Cai Yong patted the back of Cai Yan's hand, but the gloomy cloud between his eyebrows did not dissipate, and then said: "If there is really no way, you must remember, protect yourself first, under the power, there will be no half of the truth to talk about, one day can not get out of this situation, one day is like walking on thin ice." ”

"The child understands."

Cai Yan nodded, but there was a strange look in his eyes, and he couldn't see through it.

Compared with the joy of Cai Yong and Cai Yan's father and daughter reuniting, in another courtyard, Zhao Yun was about to be much more annoyed, and Xiahou stayed aside, and it was not easy to speak first.

The marriage contract invited by Cao Cao was almost delivered here as soon as possible, that is, in Zhao Yun's hands, and when he heard that the holy decree was for marriage, Zhao Yun couldn't react, but he was reminded by the chief eunuch who passed the holy decree before accepting the holy decree.

Regardless of whether Zhao Yun has any objection to the content of the holy decree, but the holy decree must be followed first, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the decree, and now that he is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he cannot tolerate Zhao Yun's refusal.

Looking down at the holy decree surrounded by the golden dragon in his hand, Zhao Yun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, since he came out of the mountain under the Tong Yuan Sect, he first secretly invested in Mingzhu and fought for Xu Zisheng for several years.

Now he is temporarily living at the feet of the Son of Heaven, looking for the Ming Lord Renjun, but he is controlled by Cao Cao everywhere, even though he knows that Cao Cao is thirsty for talent, but Cao Cao's series of actions have made Zhao Yun a little disgusted in his heart.

"Yuan Rang."

Zhao Yun raised the holy decree in his hand, looked at Xiahoudun solemnly and said: "If this is a marriage contract invited by your lord in order to attract me, can you persuade me a little bit, just say that this is good, Zilong has accepted it, but the matter of the marriage contract, please take back your life." ”

"This ....."

Xiahou stopped talking, and after a deep groan, he opened his mouth to persuade: "The things decided by my lord are difficult for ordinary people to influence, if you want me to say, Zilong, you should go with the flow, take this marriage contract, Miss Zhaoji's country is beautiful and fragrant, and it is rare, worthy of you as the dragon among people." ”

"Don't make jokes like that."

Zhao Yun's face instantly became a little ugly, and he got up with the holy decree and said, "Since Brother Yuan Rang refuses to persuade me to go for me, then I should go in person." ”

"No."

Seeing this, Xiahoudun hurriedly grabbed Zhao Yun, who wanted to leave, and reminded eagerly: "Once the marriage contract is dissolved, Cai Yong will die, Zilong, are you willing to watch Cai Yong die?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yun suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked inexplicably: "What is the relationship between the marriage contract and Cai Taishou's life and death, is it ......?"

"Just as Zilong thought."

Xiahoudun let go of his hand, and said with a somewhat ashamed expression: "Cai Yan married you, in exchange for Cai Taishou to avoid death, if Zilong insists on pushing the marriage contract, maybe the lord will be angry and will behead Cai Taishou after the autumn." ”

Hearing this, it was clearly visible that Zhao Yun's handsome face instantly became gloomy, the bones of the right hand holding the holy decree were exposed, and the green tendons were bursting up, obviously Zhao Yun's heart was already a little angry.

"The lord of your family, who was also a prime minister for a while, actually used life and death to force a weak woman, so he was not afraid of losing his identity!" Zhao Yun shouted.

Knowing that he was wrong, Xiahoudun did not take Zhao Yun's angry reprimand of Cao Cao to heart, but admonished softly: "The matter has come to this point, please think twice about it, even if it is for Cai Taishou, you must take this marriage contract, and talk about it later." ”

Zhao Yun didn't answer, he sat down with a rather cold expression, still holding the holy decree in his hand, and didn't mean to reply to Xiahoudun.

Seeing this, Xiahoudun knew that Zhao Yun needed to think about it, so he didn't plan to stay here to annoy Zhao Yun, so Xiahoudun arched his hand and said, "Zilong, you think about it more, I'll leave first." ”

After finishing speaking, Xiahoudun still didn't wait for Zhao Yun's slightest reply, so he had to leave, and Zhao Yun didn't look at Xiahoudun again from beginning to end.

As soon as he left the other courtyard, Xun Yu, who was waiting outside the courtyard, stepped forward and asked, "Yuan Rang, how does Zhao Zilong reply?" ”

"There is no reply yet, but he has begun to hesitate and should agree."

Xiahoudun finished speaking with a cold expression, and then said in a cold voice: "If there is such a matter in the future, I hope that Mr. Wen Ruo can persuade the lord more, such a move is really damaging to the prestige of the lord." ”

Without waiting for Xun Yu, who was slightly stunned, to reply, Xiahoudun left with a gloomy face.

Then Xun Yu came back to his senses, looked at Xiahoudun who was far away, and said with a wry smile: "The lord didn't discuss this matter with me, and I was also acting on orders, so why blame me for coming up, it's really a disaster." ”

"However, the lord's move, I'm afraid it's really a little bit of a big loss." Xun Yu shook his head and left.
