Chapter Seventy-One: Cao Ren Shows Overture
"Nope!" Yuan Yun's answer was very crisp, and there was no room for maneuver.
Everyone present here is also a young man, so they immediately echoed, among them, Xiahou Nan was the most excited, and shouted at Cao Ang's guards: "I don't see!" Just tell him so. ”
The guard didn't speak, for him there was only one master, that was Cao Ang, and before Cao Ang spoke, he would only stand obediently on the side.
Cao Ang thought for a moment, and saw that his brothers were reluctant to let Cao Ren in, so he could only nod and say, "Just tell General Cao Ren that we are all brothers today and will not entertain outsiders." ”
"Shizi's words are wrong, when it comes to the word outsiders, it should be Xu Yi and Xiahou Nan who are outsiders, the old man is the uncle of your clan, Yuan Hou is Qinghe's husband, and naturally he is also a family, why do you see outsiders like this?" As Cao Ren spoke, he had already walked in from outside the door, with a smile on his face.
When he got closer, Cao Ren didn't greet Cao Ang, but arched his hand at Yuan Yun and said, "Yuan Hou is really majestic today, but the hall is out of the limelight, and a young hero should be as big as you." ”
Yuan Yun was a little stunned, could it be that Cao Ren went out without a brain today, why did he suddenly be so polite to himself, there must be a lot of weirdness in this.
Cao Ren didn't wait for Cao Ang's instructions, and immediately found a comfortable place to sit down, it was Yuan Yun's side, this old guy even chose to sit in Yuan Yun's lower position, it was incredible to lower his body like this.
After sitting down, Cao Ren bowed his hands again, and then said with a smile: "Since the old man is here today, this banquet will be paid by the old man. ”
Speaking of this, Cao Ren paused slightly, and then asked a maid guarding the door: "Why hasn't Miss Yudie come out to greet guests, it's not okay to be so polite, I'm about to marry into the Xiahou family, but I have to learn some aristocratic etiquette." ”
As soon as these words came out, even Xiahou Nan, who was preparing to fight-for-tat, softened, because Cao Ren's words were equivalent to letting Yu Die go, before Yu Die was still worried that Cao Ren would get in the way, but now all the troubles are gone, so he also sat honestly in his position and chose to ignore it.
Yuan Yun pondered for a while, until Cao Ren said about Yudie's marriage, he laughed, and then said: "Brother Xiahou's marriage, we don't plan to invite you to participate, even if you have a relationship with us today, it's useless." ”
Cao Ren laughed and said: "I did have a lot of festivals with you before, but today the old man came in person, not to quarrel with you, now the imperial court is being reformed, this is a big deal for our Cao family, the old man came today to reconcile, let's all work together to do this well." ”
Yuan Yun suddenly shuddered, it was really too disgusting what Cao Ren, the old guy, said, especially the groveling look on his face, which was simply outrageous.
However, now that the imperial court has been restructured, it is indeed a great opportunity for the Cao family, although Xu Du was all controlled by the Cao family, but above the court, there are still some hard bones supporting the Son of Heaven, and sometimes even Cao Cao is helpless.
For example, Cao Cao planned to use troops against the Sun family before, at least to make a gesture, so that the big clan in Jiangdong could see clearly that the imperial court did not support the Sun family to establish a career in Jiangdong, but this idea was opposed by a group of courtiers, and in the end Cao Cao could only choose to retreat.
If you don't back down, then you can only behead all the old officials, and if you do that, Cao Cao will probably immediately become a thorn in the side of everyone in the world, and you can't do it.
Now once the restructuring is successful, then Cao Cao will move troops in the future, and he can even do not need the edict of the imperial court, which is naturally a great thing.
Now that Cao Ren took the initiative to show goodwill, it should be out of his original intention, not Cao Cao's coercion, does this old guy really plan to reconcile with Cao Ang's side for the sake of righteousness?
"Since it is a matter explained by Cao Sikong, Ben Hou will naturally do his best, this does not need General Cao Ren to worry, what to do and what not to do, Ben Hou knows in his heart, as long as you don't come to make trouble, this matter will not be so difficult." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he smiled lightly, and it seemed that it really turned into a smile to resolve the enmity.
Cao Ren also smiled, and immediately nodded and said: "The old man was offended a lot before, and today's words really can't make you virtuous nephews believe, and these things are not in a hurry, let's take a slow look, and it will naturally let you see that I Cao Ren will do what he says, and he will definitely not embarrass you." ”
Yuan Yun smiled and nodded: "This is very good, since General Cao Ren said so, then why should you go with you, come, drink and win!" ”
Cao Ren was very happy, and Yuan Yun was willing to drink with him, proving that his overtures today were successful.
After drinking a glass of wine, Cao Ren immediately got up, and then said loudly: "I'm afraid that the old man won't have fun here, but now the old man won't bother, and all the expenses today will be recorded in the old man's account." ”
After Cao Ren finished speaking, he gave up his hands again, and then retreated with the two guards, walking very quickly, without a little mud and water.
When Cao Ren walked out, Cao Ang asked Yuan Yun suspiciously, "Brother Yun really believes that Cao Ren wants to reconcile with us?" ”
"Ghost Believe!" Yuan Yun replied without thinking about it.
Cao Ang was slightly stunned and said, "Brother Yun hates Cao Ren the most, why did you have a drink with him just now?" ”
Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's better to send him away earlier, you can't even drink if you stay here, don't you like to look at Cao Ren's old face?" ”
Xu Yi immediately smiled: "I really like to watch it, it's rare to see Cao Ren groveling so much, this is really relieving." ”
Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said: "The more he grovels so much, the more cold my heart becomes, this old guy doesn't know what damage tricks he has come up with, and this time it must be very dangerous, he really succeeded, I'm afraid we will be doomed immediately, everyone had better think about it, have you fallen into the hands of others recently?" ”
Cao Ang thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "I have always been in the Xincheng Mansion and rarely come out and walk, if there is a problem among us, it should not be me." ”
Xu Yi also waved his hand and said, "I haven't been in Xu Capital all the year round, I just came from Beihai, even if Cao Ren has a handle, it will definitely not be mine." ”
Xiahou Nan didn't say anything directly, pointed at Xu Yi, and then pointed at himself, indicating that he was in the same situation as Xu Yi.
Yuan Yun frowned slightly, could it be that the problem was with him? But if you think about it, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with me, and the past experiences are recorded in the chip in my brain, and no matter how I look at it, I can't find anything wrong.
But there must be a problem, otherwise why does Cao Ren need to perform like this today, his purpose is to hope that he can let down his guard, but now it is obviously counterproductive, or Cao Ren just wants himself to speculate.
"What's wrong with Luoyang?" Cao Ang asked again.
At this time, Xu Yi and Xiahou Nan both focused their eyes, obviously everyone felt that the problem should be Yuan Yun.
Yuan Yun pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "Luoyang belongs to autonomy, and it doesn't involve the imperial court, Cao Ren has no way to start, let alone find out my guilt, so it shouldn't be Luoyang." ”
When a group of people were meditating, Yudie dressed up and slowly walked out of the inner hall, and even the two maids around her were dressed up extremely luxuriously, looking quite extravagant, and her whole body was simply golden.
Xiahou Nan stopped thinking about anything in an instant, and his eyes kept chasing Yu Die, as if he was about to pounce and eat the other party.
Since Yudie appeared, everyone was not discussing anything about the handle, but all raised their glasses to welcome this beautiful woman to the table.
Yudie stepped into the seat, did not run to Xiahou Nan, but sat next to Yuan Yun, which immediately embarrassed the audience, and the most embarrassing was naturally Yuan Yun.
Xiahou Nan's face was stunned, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only stare dryly, and his face would naturally not look good.
After Yudie sat down, he first poured Yuan Yun a full drink, and poured a glass himself, then sighed and said: "Yudie wants to marry Yuan Houli the most, but Yuan Hou has never ignored Yudie, and Xiahou Gongzi has taken care of me in every way, so he can only choose to marry another woman, Yuan Hou doesn't know what he thinks now?" ”
"I'm thinking in my heart now, what benefit did Cao Ren give you Yudie to make you dare to provoke my brotherhood with Xiahou Nan so boldly?" After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he smiled faintly, but the chill in his eyes was very scary, this kind of ability to be exercised on the battlefield was not a joke.
Yu Die was taken aback, but quickly covered it up with a smile, and immediately explained: "Yu Die is just admiring Yuan Hou, how can it involve General Cao Ren?" ”
Yuan Yun glanced at Yudie with interest, but his eyes fell on the other party's beautiful neck, and he said to Xiahou Nan for a long time: "Brother Zilin, if I cut off your concubine's head now, you will blame me for two or three years at most, but it can make you stable for the rest of your life, so I will not hesitate for this matter." ”
Before Xiahou Nan could speak, Yudie was already frightened, and even hid to the side, and then said in a panic: "Yuan Hou spares her life, the little woman is helpless, naturally what you nobles say, I can only do anything, where is there half a room to refuse, Yuan Hou spares his life, Yudie will explain everything, it is indeed General Cao Ren who asked me to say this deliberately." ”
"Yudie, you are too disagreeable, since you married into my Xiahou family, who would dare to bully you, why do you have to agree to Cao Ren's request?" Xiahou Nan was very angry, and pulled Yudie to her side and slapped her hard.
Yuan Yun could only sigh secretly at this time, and then put back the dagger he had just touched in his sleeve without a sound.
Xiahou Nan seemed to give Yudie a big mouth, but he really saved her life, because just now Yuan Yun really wanted to cut Yudie's neck with a knife, and the murderous aura that came out of his body could be felt even by Xu Yi, who was sitting at the end, and Xiahou Nanyan could not know.
In order to save Yudie, Xiahou Nan could only continue the performance, and slapped another big mouth fiercely, and then pointed to the two maids and shouted: "Take Yudie down, don't prepare to leave the inner hall without Lao Tzu's order, and live with me in Xiahou Mansion later." ”
After the three masters and servants retreated, Xiahou Nan gave up his hand and said: "Can you brothers, give me a face, don't target Yudie, she is a weak woman after all, under Cao Ren's coercion, she really doesn't have many choices." ”
Xu Yi hurriedly came out of the round and said, "Soon Yudie will live in Xiahou Mansion, and Cao Ren will have no chance to intimidate in the future, so it is better to let it go this time." ”
After saying this, without waiting for Yuan Yun and Cao Ang to answer, Xu Yi immediately said again: "Cao Ren was so groveling just now, could it be that he left Yudie's hand to separate our brother's feelings?" ”
Yuan Yun glanced at Xiahou Nan, and also knew that he had missed the opportunity to kill Yudie, so he continued Xu Yi's words: "No, this is just another trick arranged by Cao Ren, if you just rely on Yudie to divide us, this method seems too stupid, and the chance of success is estimated that even Cao Ren himself does not think it is high, so he is doing it on purpose, just to want us to continue to think nonsense, it seems that he must have prepared a big drama in the future." ”
After saying this, Yuan Yun was suddenly startled and shouted: "It's not good, Cao Ren just wants to drag us here today, he must have some action, this is the time." ”
