Just when the birthday banquet of Xunfu was in full swing, in the city of Xudu, under the order of the angry Cao Cao, the whole city had been closed, and the military horses outside the city were ordered to search around the city of Xudu, and all suspicious characters must be interrogated.

Three daughters disappeared at the same time, how could Cao Cao not be angry?

In the city, Cao Cao ordered the military horses to immediately launch a carpet search, making sure to find out their three daughters.

Cao Cao suspected that his three daughters had been kidnapped, so he did not dare to take it lightly for a moment and tried to find out his daughters in the shortest possible time.

is about to send his three daughters to the palace, and at this juncture, they are all gone all at once. Cao Cao felt that he had lost all his face, and he didn't know how to face the court, how to face the people, and how to face the emperor.

Therefore, Cao Cao is now anxious and angry, but more helpless, because, now he really doesn't know what happened, although from all indications, he suspects that his three daughters were kidnapped by others, but it is not quite the same, after all, the people in his own family did not have any losses, although the maids were knocked unconscious, but it could not be shown that it was a foreign thief who knocked him unconscious, it may be Cao Hua's naughty and naughty girl who knocked him unconscious.

Now, Cao Cao's heart is most worried that his three daughters are unwilling to obey his arrangement, and they have left home by themselves. This, because there was already a rumor earlier, Cao Hua's girl had such a plan. Therefore, Cao Cao can't help but wonder if it is now his three daughters who have run away from home en masse.

This kind of thing. It's ugly to say it, and the three daughters don't listen to their father. Speaking of which, this face is really lost. So. Cao Cao now hopes that his three daughters were kidnapped by others, rather than running away from home to escape the marriage he arranged for them. In this way, Cao Cao deliberately mobilized his troops and horses to conduct a large-scale search inside and outside the city. Cao Cao hoped that he would try his best to get his three daughters back, whether they were kidnapped by others or left on their own.

Cao Cao had already interrogated the servants of the family and guò their mouths. Knowing that his three daughters disappeared after he left home to visit the Xun family, this time, the disappearance time is not too long, but just more than an hour.

The three daughters disappeared at the same time, even if they were kidnapped by others, how far could they escape in more than an hour? Even if he escapes from the city, his military horses can still be chased back. But. The situation when the defenders of the various city gates returned did not seem to have left the city, after all, when Cao Cao left home to pay homage to Xun's family. It was already time for the city gate to close, and if there were suspicious people leaving the city, their own city gate guards would definitely be alert. Own army outside the city. There are more cavalry, if the thieves dare to take their daughters out of the city. I can't escape far.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are out in pursuit, can they still escape? Cao Cao thought about it. I think my daughter is probably still in the city, but I don't know where to hide.

Of course, Cao Cao was also a little skeptical that it was the strangers he collected back who attacked his daughters, because, among them, many of them are evil masters who like to play with beautiful women, and their three daughters, all of whom are beautiful and fragrant, will inevitably make them have bad intentions. However, Cao Cao already knew that the old man of Huashan who was most keen on playing with women, the old man of Huashan who frequently committed crimes near Xudu, when he was besieging Liu Yi, he was cut off by Liu Yi and was rescued, leaving only half a life, in addition to this lewd old man of Huashan, although there are many guys who prefer to play with women, but they are not as unruly as the old man of Huashan, and they will never dare to attack their daughter. Therefore, Cao Cao didn't think that it was the hands of those people he had snare back.

Soon, Cao's army spread to every corner of the city, carefully searching for suspicious traces.

In the Xun family, someone walked up to Xun Jian and whispered something to Xun Jian. Xun Jian's face changed, and subconsciously, he thought of Liu Yi in his family. I don't know why, he always has a feeling of horror, thinking that the disappearance of Cao Cao's three daughters has something to do with Liu Yi.

Now, Cao Cao's daughter is gone, and the whole city is locked down and searched, which makes the whole city panic, but he is still singing and drinking here, which seems to have a bad impact on people and a bad impression on Cao Cao. Now, it was one of Cao Cao's personal soldiers who came to tell him about the people of his Xun family, informing him of what was happening in the city of Xudu now. In my birthday, people come and go, and this impact is really bad.

As a last resort, Xun Jian hurriedly stood in the main hall, raised his hand and said to the guests who came to congratulate him on his birthday: "Friends and guests, I'm really sorry, a big event suddenly happened in our Xu Capital City, which made Xun's birthday banquet not suitable for any longer. Fortunately, all the guests and friends have come, Xun has no regrets, now, the time is not early, it is better for us to have a drink and disperse. ”

"Oh? Lord Xun, Old Man Xun, what happened in the end? ”

At that moment, some guests made a question.

"Well......" Xun Jian sank his face and said sternly: "You should know that Prime Minister Cao Cheng will marry his daughter tomorrow and marry his three daughters to the Son of Heaven as concubines." However, just now, the prime minister's three daughters were all lost together, and it is estimated that they were taken away by thieves. At this moment, our imperial army is blockading the whole city and is searching, so we get together to drink and feast, which has a bad impact. Therefore, Xun had no choice but to offend, and had to do something to drive away guests, everyone, wait for the next time, Xun Mou will always accompany you, Xun's birthday banquet, that's the end of it, send off guests! ”

"What? The prime minister's three daughters were all kidnapped by thieves? ”

"Impossible, right? The Prime Minister's Mansion is heavily guarded, where are the thieves so bold? Dare to kidnap the prime minister's daughter? And also kidnapped three together? ”

"Let's go...... Let's inquire ......."

"The whole city is locked down and searched, we have to go home quickly, so as not to be misunderstood and interrogated by the officers and soldiers."

"Yes, yes. If it's a city-wide search, our home will definitely be searched. It would be bad if we let the thieves hide in our own homes. Let's go, go home and search for yourself, if you really find the thief, then arrest the thief and rescue the three sisters of the Cao family, it will be a great achievement. ”

……

For a while, the hall was full of guests, each with their own thoughts, and they all said goodbye to the head of the Xun family.

Of course. There are also many people who gloat in their hearts, but they will not show it.

Among them, many people think that Cao Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion is so heavily guarded, so many pro-soldiers and masters protect their families, how can there be thieves to capture people who walk in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Mo said Cao Cao's daughter, even if she is an ordinary subordinate. I'm afraid that I can't be taken away lightly. Many people even think that this is not Cao Cao's three daughters, and they are dissatisfied with Cao Cao sending them to the palace and hiding them by themselves, right? Other than that. There are also people who think sarcastically, then Cao Cao is probably reluctant to let his three daughters and deliberately hide his daughters, right? After all. Although Emperor Xian is the Son of Heaven, but. Everyone knows that this so-called Son of Heaven. It's just a puppet of Cao Cao. A puppet emperor, is it worth Cao Cao's three daughters? Well, think about what happened to Wang Zhaoji at the beginning, now, Cao Cao probably wants to hide his daughter, and now he will take some other servants to replace his daughter in the palace.

For a time, many people had their own thoughts, and so on.

Xun Jian didn't pay attention to the thoughts of those guests, and explained to the brothers and nephews at home, so they sent the guests away, and he hurriedly returned to the backyard to see Liu Yi.

To be honest, Liu Yi suddenly came to his Xun family, which made Xun Jian really feel extremely surprised, if he didn't think about too many problems, he really didn't dare to keep Liu Yi. Now, Cao Cao's military horses are searching the city, even if it is not to search him Liu Yi, but if Cao Jun finds Liu Yi in his house, he will not be able to get rid of it.

Well, Feng Xian reminded Liu Yi that he could avoid Cao Jun's search by hiding in Xun's house, which was actually a bit taken for granted. In fact, Cao Cao has searched the city many times, each time, the homes of some senior officials in the court, as well as his subordinate generals, confidants, strategists, etc., these people's homes, under normal circumstances, Cao Jun does not search casually, generally, it is the military horses that come to these people's homes, so that their own soldiers will search it, and they will not search too carefully. But in general, it is still necessary to search. At the very least, if there are new people in the family, let them come out, meet with the person in charge of searching the city, and explain the origin. In this way, the main thing is to avoid suspicion.

The Xun family, every time the city is searched, in order to avoid suspicion, every time, the Xun family will ask Cao Bing, who is in charge of the search, to personally enter and leave the Xun Mansion to search, and the Xun family will just send someone to follow and remind the person in charge of the search to pay attention to one point, don't destroy the things on the Xun Mansion. Of course, Cao Bing, who was in charge of the search, did not dare to be presumptuous in Xunfu. Every time, it was politely searched. In this way, it can also prove the innocence of the Xun family, and prove that the person or thing that Cao Cao wants to search for is not in the Xun Mansion.

This time, I'm afraid it will be no exception. Therefore, Xun Jian is a little anxious now, if this time, he makes an exception and does not let Cao Bing search his Xun Mansion, then I am afraid that it will arouse Cao Cao's suspicions.

Cao Cao's three daughters are missing, this matter is not big, but it is not small. Xun Jian was afraid that Cao Cao would be serious. He thought to himself, if his daughter was missing and missing, he would not give up.

Therefore, Xun Jian now just wants to quickly figure out what Liu Yi came to see him for, and then send Liu Yi away as much as possible.

Xun Jian hurriedly rushed to the courtyard where Liu Yi was placed, and as soon as he came in, he didn't wait for Liu Yi to stand up and say hello after the case, he said to Liu Yi with a worried face: "Oh, Taifu, it's really not the right time for you to come." Now, Prime Minister Cao's three daughters are missing, and they are searching the whole city, and it is estimated that it will not be long before my Xun family will be found. You say, "Well, what do you say?" ”

After Liu Yi heard this, he looked at Xun Jian, his expression did seem to be a little anxious, but it made Liu Yi feel that he was a little pretending. The dignified Xun Mansion, it is not easy to hide more than three people? If you want Cao Cao to say anything, you have to give the Xun family a few thin noodles.

However, Liu Yi still stood up and bowed to Xun Jian and said: "Rushing to visit has caused inconvenience to the head of the Xun family, and Liu is here to confess." However, if it coincides with the birthday of the head of the Xun family, and Liu doesn't come to congratulate, it doesn't seem to be reasonable, right? Hehe, don't panic the head of the Xun family. There is no need to be scary, with the prestige of the Xun family in Xudu. Cao Cao's soldiers, dare to break in and search the mansion? ”

"Uh......" Xun Jian heard Liu Yi say this. But it was not good to be nervous anymore, so he had to ease his expression and smiled: "Hehe, Taifu is really calm, and he has the heroic spirit of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing color, but Xun also told the truth, Xun Mansion has always been in order to avoid suspicion." When Cao Bing searches for my Xun Mansion, we will take the initiative to let them enter the Mansion to search, and this time, I am afraid it will not be an exception. So, dare to ask Taifu, I don't know what happened to Xun's mansion? Wouldn't it be just that he wanted Xun's mansion to avoid Cao Bing's arrest? This one...... Taifu, you should know that although a large part of Xun's Xun family children do work for Taifu's account. However, those are all branch clansmen who have disconnected from Xun. Now, Xun is Cao Cao's subordinate, and it is unlikely that Xun will shield Taifu. But. Looking at the past situation, Xun can not reveal to Cao Cao that the Taifu is in Xun's mansion, and he will not sue Cao Cao. Taifu came to Xudu City. I want Taifu to be in Xudu City, coming and going spontaneously. Out of nowhere, Xun doesn't need to provide a hiding place for Taifu, right? ”

Although Xun Jian is a literati. However, he was also single, without saying a word, first explained his situation clearly, and then directly stated that it was inconvenient for him to shelter and shield Liu Yi, hoping that Liu Yi would have something to say, and leave Xunfu after saying something.

Liu Yi's attitude towards Xun Jian can be understood, this is related to the lives of hundreds of people in the Xun family. If Cao Cao knew that he was hiding in the Xun Mansion, and Xun Jian was deliberately shielding Liu Yi, Liu Yi believed that Cao Cao would never be affectionate, and would inevitably attack the Xun family, at least, the Xun family would lose power from now on.

However, Xun Jian's attitude is a matter of time, Liu Yi came to Xun's house this time, he came to Xun's house to seek a hiding place and avoid the search of Cao Cao's soldiers, of course, it was to let the three sisters of the Cao family avoid the search of Cao Cao's soldiers.

Therefore, although Xun Jian had already made his words very clear, Liu Yi still said: "The head of the Xun family is really confessing. However, this time, Liu Yi was afraid that he would really have to reluctantly embarrass the head of the Xun family. Well, if Liu was alone, he would naturally not come to disturb the head of the Xun family, but the main thing is that Xun has several brothers, but they have to have a place to hide from Cao Bing's search. So...... Please also ask the head of the Xun family to arrange it. ”

"Huh?" Although Xun Jian was reluctant in his heart, he also said it so clearly and clearly, but Liu Yi was also so frank and bluntly begged him to cover up, which really made Xun Jian embarrassed.

"It's not a secret." Liu Yi also said more honorably: "The three people brought by Liu are the three daughters that Cao Cao is searching for now, so the head of the Xun family has to help cover it." I hope that the head of the Xun family can be one or two in the sea, and in the future, Liu will have a good reward. ”

Xun Jian will definitely ask to see the three people brought by Liu Yi, and Liu Yi is not sure if Xun Jian knows the three sisters of the Cao family, as soon as they meet, then they will naturally be able to recognize each other. Therefore, Liu Yi knew that it was not necessary to hide it from Xun Jian, and it could not be concealed.

"What?" When Xun Jian heard this, he trembled with fright, and almost didn't faint, his face suddenly became a little ugly, and he said tremblingly: "Tai, Taifu, you, you won't ...... Well, Cao Cao's three daughters, should you really have taken them captive? This, this ......"

"Definitely." Liu Yi shook his head and said, "Master Xun, you misunderstood, I, Liu Yi, did not kidnap Cao Cao's daughter, but ...... Cao Cao's second and third daughters, that is, Cao Jie and Cao Hua, they are in love with me Liu Yi, they want to elope with me Liu Yi, not my Liu Yi to kidnap them, this point, please Xun family master Mingjian. ”

"Well, this, this...... It's a big deal. Taifu ......, "Xun Jian really doesn't know how to say Liu Yi at this moment."

In his heart, he thought sarcastically, who doesn't know that you Liu Yi is romantic? Now, it turned out to be Cao Cao's daughter. Is this revenge for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to murder him some time ago? Hehe, in Xun Jian's heart, he didn't believe it at the first time, he didn't believe what Liu Yi said, Cao Cao's daughter and Liu Yi were in love with each other or something. Because, he always felt that it was unlikely. You must know that Cao Cao and Liu Yi are mortal enemies, so Cao Cao's daughter naturally hates Liu Yi as well. How could he be in love with Levi? He didn't believe this kind of thing anyway.

"Hehe, Taifu, don't laugh." Xun Jian looked a little ugly and said: "Cao Cao and Taifu you, it is equivalent to one mountain that cannot tolerate two tigers, two imperial courts, only one can be saved in the future, Cao Cao's daughter and Taifu you are happy?" Still eloping? Alas......"

Xun Jian looked like he didn't know how to say that Liu Yi was good, and then said reluctantly: "Alas, Taifu, you better go, the three sisters of the Cao family, the old man wants to find a way to send them back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Just like the old man, I've never seen you...... Old man...... The old man is also not used to revenge, and wants to take revenge on his family. The three sisters of the Cao family, the old man has seen them, all of them are good-natured women, virtuous women, you don't want to hurt them. Let them go. ”

"Master Xun, you ......" Liu Yi didn't think about it, Xun Jian actually thought that he had kidnapped Cao Cao's three sisters, and he couldn't help but choke.

"Forget it, let's let the Cao family sisters come out and talk to the head of the Xun family. Lest the head of the Xun family misunderstand me, Liu Yi is really that kind of treacherous villain. ”

Liu Yi said, clapped his hands, and asked the three sisters of the Cao family who were in the side room to come out. (To be continued......)
