In the blink of an eye, a group of people came to the outside of Chang'an City, although the city wall has been somewhat broken, but an incomparable glorious atmosphere has come from the brick cracks. These walls are thick and high, and the moats in front of the city are deep and wide, which are indeed the best defense facilities of this era, and in the distance they are surrounded by large rivers, which is majestic and breathtaking.

Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the defenders at the head of the city, and after a while, the city gate was wide open, and it was a slender-eyed scribe who went out of the city to greet Xu Ji and the others, his eyes flickering, obviously full of ghost tricks. If it weren't for the slightly worse bearing, and the clothes representing the official position were wrong, otherwise Xu Ji would have thought that this person was Li Ru.

Both sides dismounted. Xu Ji, Liu Bei, Chen Deng and others strode forward, and the scribe opposite forced out laughter and smiled at everyone: "I am a strategist under the prime minister, and Li Su is also." ”

Xu Ji said in his heart: It turned out to be Li Su, but he smiled on the surface: "It turned out to be Lord Li Su, and the Yanzhou envoy Lejin has seen the adult." Liu Bei and Chen Deng also reported their names.

After Li Su heard the name of "Le Jin" on Xu Ji's newspaper, Shuangmu immediately lit up, took Xu Ji's hand, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Le Jin, who has been looking up to his name for a long time, come and come, please go this way, we will be closer in the future." Between his demeanor, he was obviously very affectionate to Xu Ji, as for Liu Bei and Chen Deng, they were completely left aside by Li Su, Liu Bei was a little better, Li Su also accosted him a few words, but Chen Deng was completely indifferent by Li Su.

Xu Ji secretly looked at Chen Deng, who was a little unsightly, and Liu Bei, who was immobile, and said in his heart: The so-called weak country has no diplomacy, although he is only an envoy to Chang'an now. It's not diplomacy yet, but the reasoning is the same. In Li Su's eyes, Lejin represents Xu Ji. And Xu Jinai is one of the most powerful princes in the Central Plains today, and he can be regarded as the most powerful person in the world, so it is really normal for Li Su to tie up his own pretending to be Lejin. As for what Li Su said about "looking up for a long time", it is simply nonsense, where does Lejin have any reputation now, Li Su said this is just a close. Liu Bei represents Liu Yu anyway, although Liu Yu has a great reputation, his strength cannot be compared with Xu Ji. But it is still not to be underestimated, so Li Su will not be too lazy, but that Chen Deng, Xuzhou's strength is not very strong, and the relationship between Xuzhou and Xu Ji is not too deep, so Li Su doesn't pay much attention to Chen Deng, and he is also trying to curry favor with Xu Ji's pretended Le Jin in a disguised way.

The people had been greeting each other at the gate for a while, and they were about to go inside, but they heard the soldiers on the city wall shouting and asked carefully. It turned out that there was another army not far away, and the word "Cao" was written on it, and it must have arrived as an envoy sent by Cao Cao. Xu Ji's spirits lifted. I don't know who Cao Cao will send, standing at the gate of the city, looking out of the city.

Of course, Li Su didn't dare to slack off. In a greeting, Xu Ji and Liu Bei and Chen Deng saw Li Su and a big fat man talking and laughing into the city after a while. Obviously, they knew each other from the beginning, and Xu Ji saw it. Great joy in my heart, isn't this Bao Xin? I didn't expect Cao Cao to send Bao Xin here, but if you think about it carefully, this Bao Xin is really the best candidate, at least in the court, this Bao Xin is also a person with a certain reputation. Beside Bao Xin is a handsome literati, with a very square face, but there is a resolute temperament that is different from ordinary literati, Xu Ji's heart is shocked, this kind of wise demeanor, Xu Ji has only seen it in Guo Jia and a few other people, this person is definitely a first-class strategist. Who will it be?

Xu Ji looked behind him while thinking, wanting to see who Cao Cao had sent, there were a few generals behind him, but Xu Ji didn't know him, his eyes flowed, Xu Ji's gaze inadvertently fell on an ordinary cavalryman's body, his face changed suddenly, and his body shook uncontrollably, and the person seemed to be sensed by Xu Ji's gaze, turned his head to look at Xu Ji's side, and after seeing Xu Ji's stunned appearance, the knight couldn't help but be shocked on the horse, obviously recognized Xu Ji.

Sky! Who did you see? That's obviously Cao Cao! Xu Ji was absolutely sure that the person he saw just now was Cao Cao! And to be sure, Cao Cao also recognized himself.

Why is this hero here? Xu Ji's heart couldn't help but pound, could it be that he also wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes?

However, this is unlikely, because Cao Cao does not have the strength to resist all the criticisms in the world, and Cao Cao should also understand that the current situation is not on the surface to talk about his turn to hijack the emperor, after all, recognizing the status of Emperor Han Xian is the mainstream of politics in the world, since Cao Cao does not have so much strength, if he rashly robs Emperor Han Xian, it will definitely be a thankless thing. Cao Cao would never be so unwise, it seems that Cao Cao came here for another purpose. Unless this Cao Cao also came through time and space like himself and knew the development of history well, he would never do such a seemingly stupid thing.

Ha, now things are getting more and more interesting, he and Cao Cao actually came to Chang'an with makeup, but Xu Ji knew why Cao Cao did this, after all, Cao Cao had done the assassination of Dong Zhuo, if Dong Zhuo knew that Cao Cao had also arrived in Chang'an, wouldn't Cao Cao be arrested and drunk immediately? So it makes sense for Cao Cao to come here with makeup. In this way, Xu Ji is not worried that the two will reveal each other's identities to each other, maybe he can cooperate with the number one hero of the Three Kingdoms once! But if it weren't for the fact that the two were very familiar with each other, I'm afraid they wouldn't recognize each other so easily, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Ji and Cao Cao nodded slightly to each other as if they had a clear heart, and quickly turned their heads to the other side, pretending not to know each other at all.

Chen Zhi, who was standing beside Xu Ji, leaned his head over and asked in a low voice, "Lord, is there something wrong?" Xu Ji said in a low voice: "I'll go back later." Chen Zhi nodded.

Immediately, Xu Ji noticed a big man beside Cao Cao, with a sallow complexion, but a pair of tiger eyes were shining, obviously an immortal tiger general who had experienced a hundred battles, and the war horse even carried this big sword, which seemed to be the fierce general Xi Zhicai who was newly subdued by Cao Cao some time ago, and Dian Wei, who saw this person behind Xu Ji, also immediately breathed heavily, obviously because of the excitement of meeting the opponent.

Then. Li Su led Bao Xin to Xu Ji and the others and introduced everyone to each other. Xu Ji remembered that Cao Cao recognized himself just now. Zhilu said that his makeup can only be hidden from people who are not very familiar with him, and this Bao Xin has not had much contact with himself. But since the first time they met in the alliance, he seemed to pay very attention to himself, who knows if the other party can recognize him, it seems that he has to change some subtle movements and habits, while trying to rely on the number of courtesies, and Bao Xin politely.

Sure enough, a look of surprise flashed on Bao Xin's face, and he couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I have a lot of fate with Lord Lejin!" Looking at the unknown crowd, Bao Xin smiled: "I don't know how." Although it was the first time I met Mr. Lejin, I felt like I was at home at first sight. Not! Mr. is very much like a certain person Bao Xin is familiar with, but he can't remember who it is for a while. ”

Xu Ji had already prepared, slightly changed his tone and demeanor, and said casually: "Mr. Bao Xin doesn't need to be surprised, contemptible people will have this kind of feeling from time to time, that is, when he sees someone he has met for the first time, he looks like he has known him for a long time. That can only be explained by fate, and then people are similar. Things are the same, in the world of thousands of generations, there are all living beings, and it is inevitable that there will be similar people. "Liu Bei and Chen Deng, who came on the same road as Xu Ji, are both extremely sharp people. I coincidentally noticed that the Lejin in front of me was speaking a little differently than before, but I couldn't tell what the difference was.

Bao Xin said with relief: "It seems that this is the case! Li Su said with a smile on the side: "Mr. Lejin is really worthy of being a character from Yanzhou, and he has something to say when he speaks." Thought-provoking. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked sideways. Xu Ji felt a chill in his heart: Please, even if you want to make a sycophant, is it good? It's too obvious for Li Su to do this now, right?

At this time, Bao Xin pulled the scribe beside him. said with a smile: "Mr. Lejin, this person is Meng Desuxiang's beloved celebrity, Mr. Cheng Yu." ”

Xu Ji was moved, he didn't expect that the person standing in front of him was Cheng Yu, this person not only has outstanding strategy, but also has done a ruthless person who eats human flesh under his command, and more importantly, this person's strategy is not under Guo Jia, even if it is not much worse, the two are probably only in the middle of the world, and he is a good hand in internal affairs. Hmph, what does this Cao Mengde want to do? Even Cheng Yu brought it.

Bao Xin introduced some of the people behind, including Xiahouen, who was killed by Zhao Yun in history, and Cao Chun, and the rest of the people, Xu Ji had never heard of, but they were all from the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan. made Xu Ji sigh, it was really "a brother in battle, a father and son soldier in battle". Xu Ji was polite to these people one by one, and found that Chen Zhi and Xia Houen were still talking cordially after they met, and they couldn't help but feel strange in their hearts. I didn't expect these two people to be so affectionate.

After some politeness, it was already late at this time, and it was no longer possible to attack to meet the emperor. So Li Su began to busy arranging accommodation. For security reasons, the troops brought by each envoy could only be stationed outside the city, and only a small number of guards could be brought after entering the city. He took Chen Zhi and Wen Ping and three hundred elite friends of the Phantom Elite into the city.

Since Xu Ji's nominal former envoy lives in Cai Yong's mansion, so of course Xu Ji is now a matter of course to live in Cai Yong's mansion, Xu Ji repeatedly emphasized in front of Li Su that he was obviously talking to Cao Cao, who was not far away, and asked him to know where he lived, Xu Ji of course guessed that Cao Cao would definitely go to find him. Of course, Xu Ji said Cai Yong's name because he didn't want to expose the hero building, otherwise he would have surprised everyone present.

After everything was ready to stop, under the leadership of a special person, Xu Ji and his party marched to Cai Yong's mansion. Xu Ji's heart sighed for no reason, of course he remembered Cai Wenji, who was still by his wife's side, maybe, this trip to Chang'an, he could solve this trouble, right?

Someone had already reported to Cai's Mansion that when Xu Ji and his party came to Cai's Mansion, Cai Yong and a scribe Xu Ji didn't know were standing there waiting for him, and the scribe must have been the person named Xu Shu who was subdued by Xi Zhi on his behalf when he planned to go to Xuzhou.

As soon as Xu Ji saw Cai Yong, he immediately saluted, and said loudly: "Hello Lord Cai, the contemptible person is the envoy sent by Xu Yuma, the assassin of Yanzhou. ”

Xu Shu on the side didn't interject, just watched from the side.

Xu Ji had already greeted Cai Yong at this time, and of course Cai Yong had already known his identity, so there was no trace of the same expression on his expression, just a little excited.

Xu Ji looked at Xu Shu and said with a smile: "This must be Mr. Xu Shu." I have been famous in Yanzhou for a long time. ”

Xu Shu said respectfully: "Xu Shu has seen Mr. ”

Xu Ji nodded slightly. Knowing what Xu Shu meant, he turned his head to look at a person dressed as a military general behind Xu Shu and smiled: "How did Zhicai still fall in love with a military general?" ”

Xi Zhicai was originally thinking about how to tease Xu Ji. Hearing Xu Ji greet him, he immediately became a little embarrassed. For a while, I didn't know what to say, so I didn't speak at all, but just bowed.

Chen Zhi looked funny, but secretly frightened, for fear that the person next to him would see it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Zhicai, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you remember your agreement with me?" ”

Chen Zhi's words immediately made Xi Zhi relaxed, and his speech was much more natural, and the group talked and laughed and walked in.

After entering the hall. The guests and hosts sat down, and their own beautiful maids served fragrant tea. After the idlers withdrew, everyone saw each other again.

Xu Ji smiled at Cai Yong and said, "Lord Cai, you have really worked hard in the past two years. ”

Cai Yong sighed: "Where did Wen Lie come from, Wen Lie has really worked hard over the years. Now Wen Lie is already the assassin of the two states, and he is unique in my Han Dynasty, which is really gratifying. ”

Xu Ji was modest, turned his head to look at Xu Shu and said, "Yuan Zhi, you and I are still meeting for the first time. However, you have contributed a lot to my Yanzhou, and you have supported a piece of sky in Chang'an alone, and everyone in Yanzhou yearns for the style of Yuanzhi! ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "The lord has won the award, in fact, I have been thinking about the lord for a long time." 'Leisurely swimming, tossing and turning'. ”

Xu Ji smiled and said: "Then do I want to say 'the so-called Yiren, on the water side'?" ”

Everyone will understand. All of them are in good spirits, and the two use the sentences in the "Book of Songs" to realize their respect for each other.

Xu Shu has long known the Tao from the mouth of Xi Zhicai, and Xu Ji is easy-going. At this moment, it is indeed so. couldn't help but feel the essence of the prodigal son, taking advantage of Cai Yong's inattention, he glanced at Xu Ji, his eyes pointed to Cai Yong, and said with a pun: "'The so-called Yiren is on the water side', the lord said it really well." ”

What a smart person is Xi Zhicai? Hearing the sound of the strings, he knew what he meant and said: "Actually, when it comes to the real 'so-called Yiren', then I have to talk about the first talented woman of my big man, Miss Cai Yan." ”

Xu Shu hit the snake and climbed the pole, pretending to be strange: "By the way, what about Miss Cai Yan?" I haven't seen Mr. Cai's house for a long time? ”

Before the words fell, a sweet female voice came in: "This gentleman, are you men like this, you will forget your sweetheart when you have a career?" ”

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to look out of the hall.

Xu Ji's heart was shocked first, and then secretly complained, he was worried that Cai Yan would secretly follow him to Chang'an, so he didn't start from Chen Liu at all, but he never expected that he still didn't hide after all. Although it has been nearly a year, but Cai Wenji's voice Xu Ji has not forgotten for a day, this girl didn't learn from anyone well, but she learned Yining's brutality ten out of ten, which really scared Xu Ji to have a home, and Xu Ji, who was annoyed all day long, was afraid, so he kept his itinerary very tight, but he didn't expect his wife to do this, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Cai Wenji fluttering over, followed by not his wife Yining or who?

I saw Cai Wenji's hair combed into a fallen bun, towering high, and falling to one side, as if she had fallen but not fallen, trembling and towering, making her more feminine. Wearing an embroidered Luo skirt, embroidered shoes woven with silk on the feet, the hairpin on the head is inlaid with tortoiseshell, and the ears are wearing pearl ears, which are dazzling and bright. Apparently he changed his outfit.

To be honest, this is the first time Xu Ji has seen Cai Wenji dressed up, and he can't help but be stunned when he looks like snow in white clothes.

Cai Wenji first saluted her father, and then raised her head when her eyes were already rosy: "Father, my daughter is not filial, and she can't always be with her father." Then he turned his head to look at Xu Ji, and said with a thoughtful expression: "Mr. Xu, we meet again, and the princess has a lot of things waiting to say to you!" ”

Xu Ji forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction and uneasiness in his heart, and forced himself to smile: "Oh? Is that so? Wen Ji, why are you in our army, but it's more worthy of my curiosity, aren't you? ”

Cai Wenji smiled movingly: "What's so difficult about this? Mr. is the lord of Yanzhou and Jizhou, and the princess is naturally the master mother, and the master mother has an order, who dares to disobey? ”

Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "This is also true." Then he looked at his wife and said, "Ning'er, you are too nonsense, only this once, there will be no next time."

And Yining, who had not spoken, also smiled at this time: "What the husband said is that it was Ning'er who was messing around, but Wen Ji had been away from her father for a long time and missed it very much, and the concubine thought that her husband's trip would not be too dangerous, so she made a claim and asked her husband to understand." "Speaking of which, what else can Xu Ji say? He could only smile. Fortunately, Yin Ning is still empathetic, otherwise this would really bring the princess's temper Xu Ji really has no place to be angry.

Seeing this, Cai Wenji smiled slightly and glanced at Xu Ji deeply.

Thus began the story of the two people. (To be continued......)
