Chapter 46: Gambling on the World
"After a nobody, a eunuch, see how I Yuan Shu will calculate this account in the future" After sitting down, Yuan Shu did not forget to release a cruel word.
And Yuan Shao, who was standing on the side, had a cold look in his eyes, and he whispered in his mouth, "Yes, I will be calculating this account in the future", and I don't know who this sentence was said to.
After sitting down, Bai Qi and Cao Cao both heard Yuan Shu's last cruel words, but the expressions of the two were surprisingly consistent, and it can be said that their faces were as calm as water, and the two who noticed each other's expressions couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Obviously, Yuan Shufang's cruel words did not have the slightest impact on Bai Qi and Cao Cao's state of mind, but at this time, Cao Cao's heart was very surprised, you must know that the name of Yuan's "Four Worlds and Three Princes" is at this moment when the royal family is weak, and the horror level can already be compared to the emperor's life, but the calm of the young man in front of him is obviously not something that can be pretended.
In Cao Cao's opinion, there are only two possibilities to have such a performance, the first is Bai Qi in front of him, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and the second is that Bai Qi is a person like himself, who has already seen what kind of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are, and does not need to be afraid of anything.
Combined with the performance of Bai Qi just now, Cao Cao easily made a judgment, how can a person who can say "ambition is not old, ignorant and empty to live a hundred years old", how can he be a stunned young man, it seems that he is not a simple character who has made friends with him unintentionally.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao raised his wine glass and saluted Bai Qiyi and said.
"Brother Bai Qi, I didn't expect you to hear his threat from Yuan Highway, and you didn't have the slightest fear, not to mention your guts, but it's really amazing."
"Are you coming?" Bai Qi thought in his heart that Bai Qi, whose physical qualities have been improved to a certain extent, has also surpassed ordinary people in intelligence, just imagine that Cao Cao, who can leave the name of a traitor in history, how can he be a casual friend? Bai Qi had already thought that Cao Cao would test him, but he didn't expect that as soon as he sat down, he would have a cup of killing moves.
"Hmph, a gentleman who shows his joys, sorrows, and sorrows all on his face, relying on his family reputation to make things happen outside, is not to worry, compared to the threat of his inner brother Yuan Benchu, it can also make people nervous, but don't care too much, these two brothers are blind and arrogant, the other is indecisive, and it definitely can't be a big deal."
Bai Qi came to such an answer through his own personal judgment and some historical allusions, as for this blind arrogance and indecision, Bai Qi made a judgment based on Yuan Shu's claim to be the emperor and Yuan Shao's inability to grasp the battle of Guandu.
"Huh?" After hearing Bai Qi's answer, Cao Cao couldn't help but let out an exclamation, he felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be even more unfathomable, and he judged the Yuan brothers and the weakness of human nature just by one side, but the problem is, since he has understood the weakness of the two, why do he still snort angrily.
Cao Cao was a little puzzled, of course, Cao Cao was also a smart person, and after thinking about it, he understood the reason, and after Cao Cao understood everything, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyebrows, his fingertips trembled, and a few drops of wine in the cup spilled.
"Haha, Brother Bai is my recklessness, please forgive me" After laughing dryly, Cao Cao put down his wine glass and saluted Bai Qi, followed by a word of apology, which was really sincere.
"Haha, it's just a matter of human nature."
And after Bai Qi heard Cao Cao's words, his heart was also clear for a while, obviously Cao Cao heard another layer of deep meaning in what he said, his own snort, not about someone else, it was about him Cao Mengde, you are tempted for no reason, how can I not see it in Bai Qi.
After one eye contact, the two looked at each other and smiled, obviously they both understood what the other meant.
"Brother Bai, you are so strange, why does he want to apologize to you" Cai Yan, who was sitting next to Bai Qi, was very puzzled after seeing the behavior of the two, this girl obviously would not bury her doubts in her heart, so she asked directly.
"It's okay, it's okay, you just eat your stuff" After hearing Cai Yan's question, Bai Qi didn't explain anything, but picked up a piece of pear and fed it to Cai Yan.
And although Cai Yan didn't get an answer, after eating the pears fed by Bai Qi, he also grinned at the corners of his mouth and smiled, regardless of anything else.
"Brother Bai, there is still something unclear, I hope to answer, please tell me the truth" Cao Cao, who had already calmed down his embarrassment, couldn't help but blush again after hearing Cai Yan's words, but the doubts in his heart made Cao Cao unable to care about so many things, and after raising his glass to Bai Qi, he said his request.
Bai Qi did not procrastinate, picked up the wine glass and touched the corner of Cao Cao's cup lightly, then covered his mouth with his sleeve, and drank the wine in the cup, I have to say that there is still a little difference between ancient wine and modern wine, compared with modern liquor, ancient wine is still a little less spicy, and more fragrant grain.
"Meng De, please general, you must know everything and say everything"
"That's the case, as Brother Bai said, the shortcomings of the Yuan brothers, Cao can also see it, but such shortcomings are harmless in the officialdom, I don't know why Brother Bai said that these two people can't make a big deal, which makes Cao very puzzled, and I hope Brother Bai will give an answer, but you must not say anything about being angry or so perfunctory to me, others say this, I believe it, but if you Bai Qi says so, I will definitely not believe it" Obviously, Cao Cao also saw that Bai Qi was a smart person, How could it be out of proportion because of an angry word.
"Original" After hearing Cao Cao's question, Bai Qi couldn't help but begin to admire Cao Cao, just for a moment, Cao Cao heard the doubts in what he said, I have to say that this Cao Mengde is also extremely smart, but for me Bai Qi, his cleverness is not enough.
"But such a good opportunity, don't count you Cao Mengde, I'm sorry for your reputation" Bai turned his head, and there was a calculation in his heart.
"No, Meng De, you only know one and don't know the other, you are right, the shortcomings of the Yuan brothers are in the officialdom, and there will be no problems, but if you change in"
Bai Qi raised the wine glass, looked at the wine in the glass, which kept spinning with the shaking of his hand, and spoke slowly, but when he said the key point, he stopped.
"What's the change, Brother Bai Qi" and Cao Cao on the side was whetted by Bai Qi's behavior, so he was not uncomfortable.
The corners of Bai Qi's mouth rose slightly, and it seemed that he was about to be bait, "Meng De, I heard that Xu Shao is a capable minister who rules the world, a hero in troubled times, this sentence evaluates you, why don't we make a bet?"
"Bet? What to bet on, what to bet on" Cao Cao was confused by Bai Qi's words, why did he suddenly start to bet.
"I think the world is about to be in turmoil, if I can't say three years, the world of the Han Dynasty will be full of wolves, Meng De I will bet with you, if within these three years, the world is in chaos, you have to take this, the ability to govern the world, the hero of the troubled times, the second half of the sentence to me removed, if there is no chaos in the world within three years, I am willing to become your Cao Cao's subordinate mastermind, help you make suggestions, plan the world, how to Mengde" said Bai Qi said his thoughts.
"The world is going to be in chaos? How is this possible, it seems that you are going to give me Cao Cao advice in the future" Although this Cao Cao is very smart, but the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years later, he can predict it, and the people in the entire world at the end of the Han Dynasty who can predict the Yellow Turban Rebellion are no more than single digits, which obviously does not include Cao Cao, so Cao Cao dares to confidently say that Bai Qi will become his mastermind.
However, while the two were calculating with each other, there were also some episodes, that is, after Cai Yan saw Bai Qi drink a glass of wine, he was very curious about whether this transparent liquid was good or not, so he secretly poured a glass and drank a glass of wine into his stomach in one sip.
