Chapter 248: Cao Cao's Generous Gift
I heard that Cao Cao, who was far away in Xuchang, sent a big living person to his man, and the woman who was rubbing mahjong suddenly lost her mood. One more woman by her husband's side will take away a favor, who wants to let her man have a group of wives and concubines around him?
Although these women are harmonious on the surface, they secretly have no less competition, and when they are alone, they rarely have to flatter and invite their husbands, and compete with all kinds of brains; One more woman in this backyard is one more competitor, and that's really bad news for them!
"The New Year is in half a month, who did Cao Cao send? Is it preparing to use the beauty trick on her husband? Du Shi was the first to mutter, with a worried expression, "It can't be a female assassin sent, right?" β
Helan echoed beside him: "Yes, yes, I heard that this Cao thief is very treacherous, and it is not impossible to use this kind of indiscriminate means, the husband must be more vigilant, don't be fooled by beauty!" β
Hearing that the scale of Yuan Mai's harem was about to expand again, Cai Yan and Feng Yunniang had no interest in playing cards, Cai Yan was a little depressed and found an excuse to go back to the room. And Feng Yunniang sat bored with her chin on the side, looking sullen, and even a little envious of this woman who was sent by Cao Cao.
Yuan Mai handed over the son in his arms to the maidservant, and while his eyes were rolling, he was also thinking about who Cao Cao sent?
If Cao Cao wants to take the strategy of Huairou, he will definitely send a handsome girl with a peugeot, if his father dares to send an ugly girl to Lao Tzu, believe it or not, I will draw a sword and cut it in front of the messenger?
How many Peugeot women can there be around Cao Cao? Yuan Mai racked his brains to think, but he only remembered Zhang Ji's aunt Zou. It is estimated that this woman is over thirty, and this son has no love for women!
Diao Chan is in Xuchang, and I heard rumors that he and Lu Bu's wife Yan took turns to enter Cao's Mansion as hostages, and his posture should be the best in this era, but Cao Cao should not send Diao Chan in order to win over Lu Bu, right?
Besides, when it comes to relationships, I still have to call Diao Chan "mother-in-law", the golden house in the general's mansion has hidden a sister-in-law, is it difficult to extend the devil's claws to the mother-in-law?
This idea was immediately rejected by Yuan Mai. In the end, I felt that what Cao Cao sent was likely to be the clan children of the Cao family. Or a niece or a daughter or something; Didn't Cao Thief just marry his niece to Sun Ce's younger brother a few days ago, and then let his son marry Sun Ce's niece, I don't know how the relationship between these two people will be after they meet?
When he thought of Lu Bu and Diao Chan, Yuan Mai remembered the private letter written by Lu Lingqi that bragged about not paying taxes. After returning from Jinyang. He sent a person who can speak well to infiltrate Xuchang to deliver the letter. I don't know what Lu Bu will think after seeing it?
"Forget about these idle things for the time being, let's go outside the door and see who Cao Cao sent!"
Yuan Mai muttered in his heart and coughed. Zhengse said: "Don't worry, ladies, husband, I have my own measure, what wind and waves have not been seen?" Will you fall for Cao Thief's beauty scheme? If you talk about the appearance, it's not me Yuan Bui Kuhaikou, I'm a beautiful woman in the room, which one is not the color of the city? There is a way that once the sea was difficult to water, and ordinary women would never be counted in the eyes of their husbands! β
Yuan bought some sweet words, and suddenly coaxed his wife and concubine to turn their worries into joy, and their sad faces suddenly turned into nothing.
Feng Yunniang was also secretly happy, "The house full of women that Yuan Gongzi said, that includes me?" It's just that the latter sentence was once difficult to turn into water, but it makes people uneasy, I don't know if the slave family can enter the eyes of the son? β
At that moment, Yuan Mai wore a fur coat, and several women were also thickly wrapped, and walked out of the warm room together, through the arch of the backyard, through the corridor in the front yard, and came to the outside of the majestic gatehouse.
In front of the general's mansion, it was quiet, and there were fifteen fierce soldiers on each side of the vermilion lacquer gate, holding spears and wearing cotton clothes. Despite the cold wind, they were rock solid and fearless.
In the middle of the street facing the gate of the mansion, a dilapidated carriage was parked, and the old horse pulling the carriage flicked its tail listlessly, and the horse's mane was covered with wind and frost, which showed how dusty the road was!
On the left and right sides of the carriage were two yellow horses, and four knights led the horses, standing quietly on either side of the carriage, looking like they were supposed to be escorting the carriage.
Seeing a young man in brocade clothes coming out of the mansion, surrounded by many beautiful women and guards, it is estimated that it is the legendary history of the Bingzhou assassin, the leader of the guards took a step forward and knelt down on one knee: "The villain sees Yuan Bingzhou, on the order of Cao Gong, I will send you a person, please make you smile!" β
"Hmm!" Yuan Mai nodded, slowly walked down the steps, and asked as he walked: "Our army and Cao's army are on the same footing, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Cao Mengde's gourd?" β
The leader of the knights did not answer Yuan Mai's question directly, got up and said, "The villain's task has been completed, and he will return here!" β
After speaking, without waiting for Yuan Mai to say anything, he turned around and waved to his companions, and the four of them turned over and got on their horses together, turned around and walked out of the city.
The two armies are at war, and they do not come to the enemy. The person who took the messenger out for no reason was very ungraceful, and it would be laughed at by the princes if it was passed out, so Yuan Mai did not intend to embarrass these guards and let them ride away.
A few worthless soldiers, killing them is useless, just leaving a handle for other princes!
"Who the hell did the thief send me?"
Yuan Mai was a little confused by the second monk, and these guards didn't say much, leaving the carriage and leaving, looking unfriendly.
Looking at the appearance of this old horse and broken cart, it should not be the children of the clan who sent it. If Cao Cao wants to win himself over and split the Yuan clan by means of harmony, he should at least pick a beautiful woman, prepare a dowry, get a decent carriage, and decorate it a little more festively, it seems that this is completely out of line!
Yuan Mai circled around the carriage a few times, only to hear that there was a stumbling inside, and it seemed that there was indeed a person in the carriage; Reaching out to lift the curtain to see clearly, but fearing that there was an assassin hidden inside, he finally gave up his plan to open the curtain in person!
He took a few steps back and glanced at one of the guards beside him: "Go, open the curtain of the car and see, what's inside?" β
The guard didn't have so many worries, took two steps forward, and easily lifted the door curtain; Everything was so quiet, and there were no imaginary assassins.
The men and women standing in front of the mansion cast curious glances into the carriage, and when they saw the characters in the carriage clearly, they couldn't help but let out an exclamation of "huh", which was really unexpected!
I saw that the person in the carriage turned out to be a scholar, not a beautiful woman who was alluring to the country and the city at all, and looked like she was twenty-four or five years old. Although his skin was fair, he was dressed very sloppily, his eyebrows were delicate, but they were a little unkempt, and his hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was stuffed with something to gag him, so he could not speak.
Yuan Mai couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Cao Cao's gourd, so he ordered the guards to loosen the people in the carriage and let him out, what did he hear?
"Cao Apu, you dwarf camel, how dare you treat me like this? You're really blind! β
As soon as this man got out of the carriage, he cursed, and his voice was extremely sharp and loud, only shaking people's eardrums, like a shrew scolding the street, without any manly demeanor.
Seeing that this person was crazy, the guard was a little angry, the steel knife in his hand lit up, and he scolded sharply: "Lord Assassin Shi is here, don't be rude!" β
"Whew!"
The sloppy scholar had no fear, spit a mouthful of phlegm in the guard's face, and scolded sharply: "A mere pawn, how dare you dance a sword at me? Even Yuan Benchu was here, and he didn't dare to treat me like this! I come and go freely in Xuchang City, I have seen the emperor, I have scolded hundreds of officials, and no one can be me, just rely on your pawn, and dare to be wild? β
The soldier was a bloody young man, and he was humiliated in public by this sloppy scholar, and he was suddenly furious, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he didn't care about wiping the filth on his face, and he was about to pull out the knife with one hand!
"Wait, let me ask him!"
Yuan Mai hurriedly stopped the agitated soldier and repelled him. glanced up and down at the sloppy scholar, and saw that although he was untidy, he looked arrogant and arrogant, with no one in his eyes, and he didn't take anyone in his eyes at all.
Yuan pressed the anger in his heart, arched his hand to the sloppy scholar and said, "I am Yuan Mai, the assassin of Bingzhou, who are you?" What is the purpose of Cao Mengde sending you to Hanoi? β
The sloppy scholar glanced at Yuan Mai, suddenly rolled his eyes, and scolded: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to talk to me like this?" Aren't you just a state assassin? It is really unreasonable that I have ascended to this high position by relying on the accumulation of virtue by my ancestors, and I have a condescending tone! The yellow bell is destroyed, the clay kettle is thundering, and the sky has no eyes! β
"Bastard, you dare to insult Lord Assassin, I can't spare you!"
The soldier who had been humiliated just now was still angry, and finally seized the opportunity at this moment, drew his sword again, and walked over to the sloppy scholar.
It has been more than two years since he came to the end of the Han Dynasty, and even Yuan Shang has never humiliated himself like this, Yuan Mai's anger has reached the point of no return, and he can't wait to snatch the guard's saber and cut off the head of this madman with one sword!
But after all, Yuan Mai has been in the officialdom for two years, although he doesn't dare to say that he can "add without anger", but he can still maintain restraint under the anger, and once again stop the guards who rushed over with knives, "Don't be reckless, wait until I ask him about his identity, and then deal with it!" β
Du Yueniang, who was standing behind Yuan Mai, saw that her man was humiliated by an inexplicable madman, and she was angry, so she walked over with three steps and two steps, and asked angrily: "You scholar is so arrogant, my husband treats you politely, why are you so rude?" You are still wearing a scholar's scarf, do you think the guards in front of our general's mansion are all papier-mΓ’chΓ©? Or do you think the steel knives of the guards can't cut your head?
