Expedition to the West General's Mansion.

The afterglow is scattered in the courtyard, Cai Yan has already prepared the meal himself, waiting for Zhao Yun's return, in the cold winter season, after the sun sets, it will be even colder, fortunately, the cold will not be cold and biting, as long as it is wrapped tightly, it will not be cold.

Cai Yan leaned against the door of the hall like this, looking at the snow falling bigger and bigger, and more at the gate of Nafu, waiting for the familiar figure.

"Madam, let's go into the house and wait, in case it gets cold, the general will be distressed again." The maidservant on the side chuckled and persuaded.

"Poor mouth."

Cai Yan smiled back, there were not too many shelves, except for a few orders on weekdays, most of her maidservants and her servants were called sisters, and they were not always a stereotypical appearance of a master and servant, with slightly raised eyebrows, Cai Yan looked at the food on the table and said: "Huan'er, go and heat those meals, otherwise Zilong will be cold from practicing outside all day, and the food will be cold when he comes back, but it is not good for his health." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away, but I can't let the general live up to Madame's good intentions." The maidservant who was called Huan'er looked at the figure walking behind Cai Yan with a smile, and quickly turned around and took the food back to the kitchen to heat it up, after all, the people who were waiting had already arrived.

"Akihime."

There was a gentle shout behind him, Cai Yan was overjoyed, turned to look, and suddenly smiled, and his moving eyes were full of such a soft color.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Yun finally returned to the house.

Waiting for Zhao Yun to walk in front of him, Cai Yan said softly: "Disarm and release the gun, you can use the meal, today is quite smooth." ”

While speaking, Cai Yan stretched out his jade hand, wanting to take off the silver armor on Zhao Yun's body, but Zhao Yun grabbed his hands, and Zhao Yun's hands were still warm, as if the cold outside could not bring him any effect.

"Huh? Why are your hands so warm this time? Cai Yan asked subconsciously.

"Obviously, you don't listen to persuasion, you always stand at the entrance of the hall and wait, and these hands are all guilty."

Zhao Yun's tone was a little reproachful, but his eyebrows were full of pity, and then he said: "Also, I've said it a few times, this silver armor has been out for too long, and it's a little frozen, so if you don't want to help me, you just don't listen." ”

"Then take it off yourself."

Cai Yan didn't seem to be angry and turned around and walked into the hall, but his eyes flickered, quite moved, just because Zhao Yun's hands could still stay warm, I don't know how long they had been in their sleeves, thinking about the way they walked, Cai Yan felt a little funny but more moved.

His eyes never left Cai Yan's figure, Zhao Yun first took off the silver armor on his frozen hands and put it aside, and then patted the snow on his body and head before walking towards Cai Yan.

At this time, the maid had already begun to serve the hot meals one by one, but she just looked at Cai Yan and Zhao Yun with a smile on her face, and didn't say a word, as if she wanted to create a unique atmosphere for Zhao Yun and Cai Yan.

"Akihime."

Zhao Yun called Cai Yan again, as if he had something to say.

"Huh?"

Hearing the shout, Cai Yan turned sideways and stared at Zhao Yun, not knowing what he was going to say.

"I want to ......"

"General."

Without waiting for Zhao Yun to speak, a soldier guarding the door suddenly rushed in outside the hall, clenched his fists and said, "Prime Minister Cao is waiting outside the mansion and wants to see you, the general." ”

"Did something happen, why are you looking for me at this time?"

Zhao Yun was very puzzled in his heart, it was almost night, there was nothing big at this time, it shouldn't be bothered, thinking about it, Zhao Yun still said softly: "Quickly invite Prime Minister Cao Cheng in." ”

"No."

The soldiers guarding the gate departed and trotted to the gate of the house.

Thinking that Cai Yan was still on the side, Zhao Yun turned around and looked at him with some embarrassment, it was not good to let Cai Yan leave at this time, but if Cao Cao came for business, Cai Yan would definitely make Cao Cao more careful.

Fortunately, Cai Yan was reasonable, and said with a chuckle: "I'll go back to the room first, don't forget to eat." ”

After speaking, Cai Yan didn't wait for Zhao Yun to reply, he pulled Huan'er and left the hall, seeing this, Zhao Yun felt a little complicated in his heart, feeling that Cai Yan had sacrificed too much for him.

As soon as Cai Yan left with his front foot, Cao Cao's back foot was led by the guards and came to the hall.

"Prime Minister Cao." Zhao Yun called out very calmly.

"Zilong."

Cao Cao smiled, and Yu Guang saw the steaming food on the table, and then asked, "Could it be that I came at an inopportune time to disturb your meal?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you eat later, Prime Minister, please take a seat."

Zhao Yun invited sincerely, but Cao Cao did not refuse, and naturally sat on the top of the table.

Taking the wine glass, Zhao Yun poured Cao Cao full of wine first, and then poured himself full of wine, then put down the wine jug, and asked bluntly: "Where did the prime minister come from?" ”

Cao Cao, who had just raised the wine glass, heard this question, and suddenly his hand stopped in mid-air, and he looked sideways at Zhao Yun and praised: "Zilong's eyes are like torches, and he really can't hide it." ”

"The prime minister is too elevated, Zilong can't stand it."

"Good wine."

Cao Cao drank all the wine in the cup, praised it, and then asked solemnly: "There is an accident in Yongning County, and the manpower should be sent by Xu Zisheng, I don't know if Zilong ever knew it?" ”

"I've heard a little." Zhao Yun did not shy away from saying that although this is a secret news, the eighth general has a noble status and is qualified to obtain this news.

"Xu Zisheng sent people to cause chaos in Yongning, which is tantamount to provoking the authority of the Son of Heaven, so the Holy Lord has issued an order to order you to go and quell the chaos."

Cao Cao got up and took out a scroll of holy decrees from his sleeves, and said softly: "Zhao Zilong, take the decree." ”

"The minister takes the order."

Zhao Yun stood on his knees, bowed his head and listened to the order, although he understood in his heart that this was probably what Cao Cao meant, but now it was issued by a holy decree, and that was a fact that could not be changed.

Clearing his throat, Cao Cao read out loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, today's rebellious ministers and thieves are making trouble in Yongning, which is really to provoke the majesty of our Han family, one of the eight generals, Zhao Zilong, the general of Zhengxi, personally led the army three days later, went to the border to quell the chaos, and raised the majesty of our Han family. ”

"The minister takes the order."

Even though he was reluctant in his heart, Zhao Yun still had to stretch out his hands and take the holy decree from Cao Cao's hands, and then Cao Cao helped him up.

"Is there anything you don't understand?" Cao Cao asked with a smile, in fact, it was more like asking, Zhao Yun had something to oppose.

"Nope."

"That's good, in that case, I won't disturb your meal, and I'll leave here."

"The prime minister walks slowly."

Seeing Cao Cao leaving, and waiting for Cao Cao's figure to leave his sight, Zhao Yun looked down at the golden holy decree in his hand, frowned and sighed lightly.
