[Note: According to the correct time, Cao Cao should be 28 years old in 183 at this time, and Xiahoudun may be about a year older than Cao Cao. The plot needs to be here, setting Cao Cao to be 21 years old and Xiahoudun to be 22 years old. 】

In fact, Cao Cao is not too short, according to Zhang Huang's visual measurement, the measurement unit of the later generations is about 1.7 meters just over the beginning, but if you take a second look at Xiahoudun that the measurement unit of the later generations is close to 1.9 meters tall, it is not difficult to understand why Cao Cao quietly opened Xiahoudun.

After all, similar things happen to their black feather crows from time to time.

[……]

The black feather crows tacitly turned their heads to look at Chen Zhi, and Chen Zhi's face turned red angrily, and roared angrily, "What are you looking at?!" …… I can still grow! It really can be long! ”

He, the commander of the Bai Yu soldiers in history, is also a shocking general in the whole world, and he is now one line shorter than Cao Cao.

"I can really grow ...... I'm not like that shorty, I'm only seventeen, and I still have a chance to ......."

Chen Dao's defense made Cao Cao's forehead on the other side bruise. If it were someone else, I am afraid that Cao Cao would probably turn his face, but seeing that it was Chen Dao, who was even shorter than him, Cao Cao grinned unprecedentedly, until Zhang Huang looked at him with strange eyes, and he came back to his senses.

"Ahem, that ......" cough two times to relieve the embarrassment, Cao Cao's sleeves shook, Lang smiled and introduced himself, "Cao Cao in Xiaqiao County!" …… I'm really sorry for the matter, I was sitting quietly in the carriage, and suddenly I heard a rumbling outside, so I lifted the curtain to take a look, and just happened to see the wolf bèi who fell off the cliff in the car, I couldn't help myself for a while, and laughed. However, I don't mean to laugh at you, and I hope you will understand. ”

This speech is unhurried, unhurried, unhurried, and the tone is cordial and clear, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze. It makes people unconsciously want to be close to him.

[Cao Cao, Cao Mengde...... How can you apologize so sincerely? ]

Zhang Huang was very shocked in his heart, after all, in his fantasy, Cao Cao, who had an excellent family background, should be like some unbeatable second ancestors, with an arrogant and domineering tone. Even if you're not arrogant, you won't apologize to people so lightly, right?

[Didn't you say that Cao Cao was known as 'cunning'?] ]

Zhang Huang was silent. The black feather crows on the side, they were a little flattered and didn't even dare to say it, after all, the bright and luxurious brocade robe on Cao Cao's body was enough to prove that this person was born in a famous family, and it was even very likely that he was a highly valued child in his family, and such a noble family disciple took the initiative to apologize to them with a pleasant face. How can they remain indifferent?

"But......" Cao Cao's eyes rolled slightly, and he looked at Li Tong with a smile and said, "Although it was rude first, this little brother claims to be the father of the next, which is probably a bit ......"

Li Tong immediately blushed, as the so-called fist is difficult to beat a smiling person, if Cao Cao questioned sharply, with Li Tong's upright character, he would definitely not dump him. But now that Cao Cao mentioned the matter sideways after taking the initiative to apologize, Li Tong suddenly had embarrassment and guilt on his face.

Just when Li Tong hesitated and was about to apologize, he saw Cao Cao suddenly laugh and said. "There are rudeness in, but there are also rudeness in the little brother, since both sides are rude, it is better to expose it. How, if you don't compare it again? …… All the brothers you meet outside, you must value harmony! ”

Li Tong was stunned when he heard this. Then he nodded his head with joy on his face. Thinking about it, after all, Cao Cao laughed at most of them, but Li Tong kept scolding Cao Cao for being his son, and his nature was obviously much worse than Cao Cao. Since Cao Cao has not mentioned this matter now, how can Li Tong and the others be reluctant?

"This ...... What Brother Cao said is, let's not mention it in twos and twos. Li Tong nodded again and again. At this time, Zang Ba and Tai Shici, who had already gotten up from the snow, also admired Cao Cao's demeanor after listening to Cao Cao's words, but Zhang Huang and Shan Fu had strange looks on their faces.

"Brother Cao, this is a bit unkind!" Shan Fu said coldly.

Before the words fell, Li Tong glanced back at Shan Fu in surprise, and whispered, "Dafu, what are you doing?" ”

Zang Ba and Tai Shici also looked incomprehensible.

[Cao Mengde, what a great affinity...... And cunning! ]

Seeing that Li Tong, Zang Ba, and Tai Shici had changed their views of Cao Cao almost instantly, and were honored as Brother Cao, Zhang Huang couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart. The so-called affinity refers to charm, and it is generally the first impression that occupies an important position, but Cao Cao can reverse the previous hostility of Zang Ba and others to him in just a few words, and he is really worthy of being the overlord of the Central Plains in the future.

But at the same time, Zhang Huang couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and glanced at his brother with a slight sigh.

"A bunch of fools, I don't know if I've been tricked!" Facing the puzzled eyes of Zang Ba, Tai Shici, and Zang Ba, Shan Fu snorted coldly, looked at Cao Cao and said coldly, "This conflict was originally caused by this person's laughter in the carriage, and it is natural for him to apologize to us!" …… In the final analysis, he just did what he was supposed to do, and what about you? But I was beaten up by the big man over there, but it's ridiculous that you guys seem to be planning to apologize to each other? ”

[……]

Zang Ba, Tai Shici, and Li Tong looked at each other, and after thinking about it carefully, they realized that Shan Fu was not right at all.

But isn't it, if it weren't for Cao Cao's laughing at Zhang Huang and others in the carriage, Li Tong would not have hurt people, and then Xiahoudun would not have gotten out of the carriage and injured a few people, in a word, all the qiē was because of Cao Cao's laughter in the carriage.

Just like Shan Fu said, Cao Cao just did what he should have done and apologized for his jokes about everyone's wolf appearance, but what about Li Tong and others? They were also beaten by Xiahoudun, and all the weapons were destroyed, so can they be exposed?

"......" Zang Ba, Tai Shici, and Li Tong looked at Cao Cao with strange eyes.

[Interesting......]

Cao Cao looked at Shan Fu with a look of surprise, originally he thought that he could fool the past casually, but he didn't expect that a word would be broken by Shan Fu.

"This ...... What this little brother said may be untrue...... These four little brothers tried martial arts with my relatives and brothers, and they were slightly inferior and lost, how can this not be counted on Cao's head, right? Blinking, Cao Cao said with a smile.

Shan Fu sneered when he heard this, and said lightly, "This matter naturally can't be counted on Brother Cao's head...... If Brother Cao really has the heart to apologize, please ask the big man over there. I apologize to my brothers, too! …… Doesn't Brother Cao want to value harmony? ”

"......" Cao Cao looked Shan Fu up and down for a while, and suddenly smiled, "Yes!" …… Yuan Rang, for your recklessness, I apologize to these little brothers! ”

"I don't want it!" Xiahoudun said in a humble voice, "They are not inferior in their words, and their skills are not as good as others, even if I killed them, it is not an exaggeration, why should I apologize to them?" ”

"Don't you listen to me?" Cao Cao's face sank.

Xiahoudun shook his head and said, "Meng De is right. I'll listen; If it's wrong, I won't listen! ”

"You!" Cao Cao stomped his feet with a gloomy face and scolded, "Do you believe that I will remove you from the Cao family tree?" ”

Xiahoudun glanced at Cao Cao suspiciously, and said with concern and puzzlement, "I'm not on the Cao family tree in the first place, Meng De, are you confused?" ”

"You, you, you...... I'm! ”

Seeing that the two of them were arguing because of themselves, Li Tong and the others couldn't help but feel a little unbearable. hurriedly persuaded, "Forget it, don't apologize if you don't apologize." ”

At this point, they can also see that Xiahoudun is a terrifying man with force but not very easy to use. As soon as he remembered that this person had just 'exposed' Cao Cao's shortcomings, even Li Tong, who was almost killed by him, couldn't hold hatred in his heart.

"Big man, losing to you is not as good as others, but there is one thing that still needs to be explained. The guns we know are spiraling. I didn't learn it from your Xiahou family, but I learned it from an uncle surnamed Cheng when I was in the Guangling Army......"

[Guangling Army?] ]

A gleam flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he looked thoughtfully at the Black Feather Crow crowd.

"Really?" Xiahou looked at Li Tong suspiciously.

"It's true. I, Li Tongke, swear to God! ”

"That's it......" Xiahoudun realized that he had misunderstood, scratched his head and said with a face full of shame, "I see...... That, I'm really sorry for ......."

"Where, where." Zang Ba had the demeanor of a martial arts child, waved his hand and said magnanimously, "It will also be of great benefit to us to have a discussion with Brother Xiahou!" ”

Seeing Xiahoudun quickly mingling with Zang Ba, Tai Shici, Li Tong and others, Shan Fu's eyes were full of surprise and puzzlement when he looked at Cao Cao, he really didn't expect Cao Cao to really ask Xiahoudun to apologize to them.

It can only be said that Shan Fu underestimated Cao Cao's bearing, although Fang Cai's stomping and angry posture was deliberately pretended to be shown to the black crows, but Cao Cao asked Xiahou to apologize, but it could not be said to be a means. If Xiahoudun did not apologize, he would naturally find a way to complete it, and if Xiahoudun apologized, he would not have any loss to Cao Cao. What can you lose by apologizing?

Shan Fu was convinced, and stood behind Zhang Huang without saying a word, but the wistful expression on his face couldn't hide the eyes of Cao Cao and Zhang Huang.

"It's worthy of Cao Mengde!" Zhang Huang praised from the bottom of his heart, and quietly put the Dao talisman in his hand back into the pouch on the inside of the cuff.

Although his movements were quite hidden, how could he not pay attention to Cao Cao if he had been staring at him?

After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao smiled tentatively, "If my family Yuan Rang didn't stop, would Your Excellency take my brother's life?" ”

It was not Zhang Huang's temperament to be strong and competitive, he shook his head and said with a calm face, "What did Brother Cao say, that Brother Xiahou was so brave, even my four brothers joined forces to beat him, how could I take his life?" ”

[That stack...... Could it be the talisman paper of the Daomen? Does this person know sorcery? ]

"That's not good." Cao Cao, who was slightly shocked in his heart, did not show the slightest abnormality on his face, shook his head with a smile, pointed to his head, lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Little brother may not know, Cao Mou has always had a kind of vigilance to avoid evil, in Cao's opinion, everyone here is added together, I am afraid that there is no greater threat from the little brother......"

Cao Cao didn't say much, in fact, when Xiahoudun put his spear against Li Tong's throat for the second time, he felt a strong sense of crisis. This sense of crisis came from Zhang Huang, from the stack of Dao runes in Zhang Huang's hand that would be sacrificed at any time to take Xiahoudun's life. Therefore, Cao Cao hurriedly spoke out to stop Xiahoudun. After all, Xiahoudun was his humerus brother, and Cao Cao would never put him in the slightest danger, just as Zhang Huang would never sit idly by and watch Li Tong and the other Black Feather Crow brothers be in any danger.

"Oh? I didn't expect Brother Cao to have such talent. Zhang Huang didn't know that Cao Cao did have that kind of magical talent, and said that Cao Cao noticed his movements and casually perfunctory. Anyway, as long as he doesn't admit it, Cao Cao can't do anything about him.

"I wonder where the little brothers are going?"

"Chen Liu."

"Chen Liu?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Huang and said with a chuckle. "That's ...... wait for me"

Before he could say anything about me, Xiahoudun led Li Tong and the others over and said happily, "Meng De, we are going to Chenliu, and they are also going to Chenliu, why don't you take them for a ride?" ”

"......" Cao Cao's face suddenly sank, not for anything else, just because Xiahoudun stood by his side again. Really, under the imprint of Xiahoudun's eight or nine-foot body. Cao Cao did look quite short.

"Oh, I forgot that you can't stand next to Mengde outside, otherwise Mengde will look very short." Xia Houdun, who had a flash of inspiration again, hurriedly walked two steps away.

[Is this guy really stupid or fake stupid?] ]

Zhang Huang glanced at Cao Cao, who was full of anger and black face, and he didn't need to guess what kind of mood Cao Cao was in at this moment, he must have been angry to the point of internal injury.

Thinking that sometimes he would be hurt by Chen Zhi, Li Tong and others, Zhang Huang looked at Cao Cao with a look of sympathy in his eyes.

As if noticing Zhang Huang's eyes, Cao Cao sighed and said helplessly, "Sometimes." , I wonder if that guy is deliberately playing tricks on me...... I later found out that it was really stupid. Alas! As he spoke, he sighed again, looked back at Zhang Huang and continued. Cao has a friend Zhang Miao who is now an official in Chenliu, so he went to pay a visit...... But I don't know how many little brothers ......"

Zhang Huang pondered for a moment and said, "I have to go to Chen Liu for some trivial matters." "Obviously. He didn't intend to tell Cao Cao his true purpose.

"Trivia?" Cao Cao showed a little suspicion in his eyes when he heard this, and after looking at Zhang Huang a few times, his eyes rolled slightly. smiled, "Since you and I are going to Chenliu, I might as well give you a ride." ”

"Really?" Li Tong immediately cheered, after all, their carriage had already fallen to the ground, and if they wanted to go to Chenliu, they could only walk, God knows how far it was from Chenliu?

Including Zhang Huang, the rest of Zang Ba, Tai Shici, Chen Dao, and Shan Fu were also very happy in their hearts, after all, if there was a carriage on the way, who would be willing to brave the heavy snow and trek in the snow on foot?

Just when the black feather crows were cheering and squeezing into Cao Cao's luxurious carriage, they saw Cao Cao suddenly smile weirdly, pointing to the location where Zhang Huang and the others fell from the cliff, and said suspiciously, "Don't you want the bags you are waiting for?" ”

"Oops, I almost forgot!" When Zhang Huang and the others heard this, they hurriedly turned around, dug away the snow and dug their bags out of the snow. Although the horse that had been with them for a long time had fallen to their death, there were still many things on the cart, and even Zhang Huang's divine soldier Wu Hook Sword was pressed under the snow.

"Look for it slowly, it's okay." Looking at those little ghosts squatting in the distance and shaving snow, Cao Cao smiled evilly and stepped into the carriage: "Yuan Rang, go!" ”

"Let's go?" Xia Houdun, who was in the front seat of the car, asked suspiciously, "Won't they come up?" ”

"They ......," Cao Cao said with a smile, "They suddenly changed their minds and stopped staying." ”

"That's it......" Xiahoudun nodded with some disappointment and shook his horsewhip.

"Stomble—"

The horses galloped up in pain, and Zhang Huang and the others, who were digging in the snow, turned their heads when they heard the sound, but saw Cao Cao's carriage actually leaving on its own.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't you say you were going to give us a ride?"

The black-feathered crows ran after them, but they saw Cao Cao poking his head out of the window of the carriage, his face full of ridicule and frivolity.

"After scolding Cao, you still want Cao to take you to Chenliu? How can there be such a good thing in the world? Cao has always been retribution...... Silly, right? Hahaha! Walk slowly through the snow, you silly boys! Hahahaha! ”

[……]

This sudden change made the black crows stunned, watching the carriage disappear into the white snow in the distance, and their ears were full of mocking laughter left by Cao Cao.

I don't know how long it took, Li Tong threw the bag in his hand to the ground with anger on his face.

"Fuck it!"

It's a pity that even if Li Tong scolds again, Cao Cao can't hear it. I have to say that Cao Cao's tricks are extremely clever, first giving hope to the black feather crows, and then ruthlessly destroying them.

No, being teased by Cao Cao, the mood of the black feather crows suddenly became depressed.

Suddenly, Zang Ba's foot seemed to have kicked something, and when he looked down, he realized that it was a large pocket, and the fabric used was much better than the clothes on their bodies.

When I opened it, I found that my pocket was full of bags of jerky.

"It's ......"

The black-feathered crows looked at each other, they didn't think that a large bag full of food would appear in such a place for no apparent reason. The only explanation, I'm afraid, is mostly left to them by Cao Cao. After all, the material of that cloth bag is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

[I really don't understand, that Cao Mengde ......]

Glancing at the direction where Cao Cao's carriage had gone, Zhang Huang suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. Although he was tricked by Cao Cao once, looking at the bag full of food, Zhang Huang really couldn't hate it.

[In order to get angry, he played us once, and left a bag of food, this way of not owing each other, is this your Cao Mengde's style?] ]

Zhang Huang really couldn't understand Cao Cao's thoughts.

As soon as he turned around, he saw the black feather crows frantically biting the jerky around the pocket, and Zhang Huang subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

"Leave me some!"

A group of people surrounded the dry food that Cao Cao left for them, but fortunately Cao Cao left them enough food, otherwise it would not be enough for them to eat.

The black crows were selflessly filling their bellies, and they didn't notice that there were only six people in their group, but at this time, there were seven people around the big bag.

There was a fellow in a Confucian robe, who had somehow mixed in with them, and was grabbing food from his pocket with them.

This person has been waiting for Zhang Huang and the others here for a long time, and the Heavenly Sword is magnificent! (To be continued......)
