Holding the guest's things, Xiao Er didn't dare to delay. After the guest left, he also went downstairs, but because he ran too fast, he hit someone, and the items in his hand were almost scattered on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said to the man: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to deliver something to the guest, please sit upstairs." Boss, I went out to do errands for the guests, and the guests were in trouble to entertain first. "You! Forget it, I see that there are not many guests at today's temple fair, so you go early and return early! Don't go out and join in the fun! "Yes, yes, yes!"

The boss stepped forward to entertain the new guest officer, "Upstairs, please." As soon as he looked at the person's clothes, he knew that it was not an ordinary person, he only felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

The person who came was not someone else, it was Cao Pi. Cao Pi picked a place by the window, and the saber in his hand was placed on the table. "A pot of good wine, two plates of good food."

The boss answered and went downstairs, Cao Pi looked out the window, but the market, which was noisy before, suddenly quieted. Sunset, deserted inn, rebellious teenager...... This seems to be a match, but in the eyes of the young man, there is an imperceptible loneliness, which is completely different from those who are rushing to the bustle, and there is a sense that everyone is drunk and sober.

He looked out the window, his memory flashback, back in April. On that day in April, his father, Cao Cao, returned from victory, and he went to meet him. There was a kind and bold girl who saved an unknown child under the hoof of a raised horse, and after saving her, she had to apologize to her father...... Cao Pi never thought that there would be any woman who could make him forget. At the moment when his thoughts and memories were confused, he seemed to see a bright blue back at the city gate, and the other party slowly turned around. She smiled, "Zihuan, let's go out of the city." He just thought about answering, "Okay." And he disappeared without a trace.

He sneered and laughed at himself, it's just a woman, why bother, if he really wants to marry a wife, is he worried that he won't be able to marry a good wife? It's just that he was unwilling, unwilling Mo Yan stayed away from him like this, and went to the puppet emperor's side, he questioned Mo Yan that night, and the answer he got was very refreshing, and the emperor protected her. Ah Yan, can you be sure that he can protect you for the rest of your life? If he can't, he'll have to pay for it.

"Guest officer, good wine and good food are here, please enjoy it." The innkeeper brought the wine and food to the table, Cao Pi's eyes returned to the table again, poured himself a large bowl of wine, he drank the wine in the big bowl, and decided not to think about it anymore, but he just wanted to move the chopsticks but he could listen to the words at the back table.

"I'll tell you something, you don't know." The man behind Cao Pi was talking.

"What's the matter? If you want to say it, I don't have the patience to listen to your slow nagging. ”

"You're really ...... You know that my sister is on an errand in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she is the personal maid of the Prime Minister's wife. ”

"Yes. You still show off this to us, saying how good the lady is to your sister, and occasionally giving us a reward. How? Want to show off again today? ”

"No, no, no, that's not what I'm talking about today. I'm going to talk about the prime minister's son, Cao Pi. ”

"You're going to die, dare to talk about the prime minister's son here."

"What are you afraid of, this is just a small inn, and you are afraid of being heard? What's more, he is talking about the prime minister's son, a son who doesn't know what his status will be in the future. Nothing to be afraid of. ”

"What you say makes sense, so what do you want to say?"

These two people didn't know that the person behind them now was Cao Pi himself, Cao Pi glanced back, he wanted to hear what this person had to say.

"About a few months ago, there was a girl in the Prime Minister's Mansion, her life experience is not very clear, she looks okay, and her sister said that she is dressed up a little bit beautifully, she doesn't look like a child of a poor family, and she has more confidence than other maids to speak. Then one day, Mrs. Bian asked my sister and other maids to serve her and dress her, and Mrs. Bian wanted to see her. At that time, several maids said that the prime minister took a fancy to her and wanted to marry her. ”

"And then?"

"My sister was also curious, so she hid outside the house and listened to their conversation, and guess what......"

"Is the prime minister going to marry this girl?"

"No, it was Mrs. Bian who said goodbye to her son Cao Pi and asked that girl to marry Cao Pi."

"Oh? It's not to marry the prime minister, but to marry the son. ”

"What's even more unexpected is ...... This girl directly rejected Mrs. Bian's words and was unwilling to marry Cao Pi. Haha, I can't imagine that the prime minister's son can also be refused to marry? This Cao Pi is an unfavored son in the end, if he marries, who knows what will happen in the future, then it is better to marry his father, if he has another child in the future, it will be different in the future. ”

Cao Pi remembered that at that time, he did see a flashing figure, but because he was anxious, he didn't pay attention to it. What I didn't expect was that the other party would tell all this. He picked up the sword beside him, and the sword was unsheathed, its cold light shining on his face.

"I see, then let Cao Pi know, isn't it disgraceful?"

"Hahaha, my sister told me that this Cao Pi also came outside the house at that time, and looked at the girl with four eyes, I am afraid that I will be angry and ashamed. Hahaha. ”

"You...... You...... Is it Cao Pi? ”

"What you, yours, what Cao Pi's? What kind of eyes do you have, it's like a ghost. ”

"He didn't see a ghost alive, he just saw the real Cao Pi." Although Cao Pi is young, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has also been on the battlefield, it is not a problem to hold the man at all, the sword is in the man's neck, as long as Cao Pi makes a move, this person's life will be gone.

"You...... What are you doing. Childe has something to say. The man was so nervous that he was incoherent, the cold sword was on his neck, and the cold sweat was flowing on his forehead, and the person who was still drinking and chatting with him got up and planned to sneak away, Cao Pi smashed the wine jar on the table at this time, held the fragments in his hand, and threw them quickly, the fragments flashed in front of the man, and a few strands of hair fell to the ground, and the fragments were inserted in the wall.

The man who wanted to escape was incontinent for a while, and the man fell to the ground and kowtowed to Cao Pi. "Childe spares his life! Childe spares his life! The villain didn't know that Childe was here. ”

"What do you hear today?" Cao Pi looked at him in a cold tone.

"Nope! The villain didn't hear anything. ”

"Get out!"

"Yes! Thank you, Childe! The man breathed a sigh of relief and gritted his teeth and rolled down the stairs.

"Next, it's your turn." Cao Pi moved the sword in his hand, and the sharp blade cut a bloody mark on the man's neck. He took the jar of wine that he had not yet drunk from the table behind him, and poured it out on top of his head. "Just smashed the jar on the table, and I've got it back for you."

"Gong ...... Zirao ...... Life! It's my mouth...... You don't remember the villain, let me go! The man's previous ridicule was gone, and now he was like a fish being stabbed, shivering all over his body.

"You didn't mean that I was 'a son who doesn't know what his position will be.'" Why are you afraid of being like this now? ”

"Childe, what I say as a villain, where can I take it seriously. Otherwise, if I kowtow to you to make amends, it would be a pity that such a good sword could be used on me. ”

"Huh. You dare to discuss the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Today, I will let you remember that I am Cao Pi, not just the son of the prime minister. Cao Pi raised his sword and cut off the man's entire right hand, and blood splattered on the table and window.

The man covered his wound and shouted in pain, Cao Pi put away his sword, wiped the blood splashed on his face with his hand, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and the young man's sneer was even more chilling. "The next time I'm heard, it's your mouth."

When Cao Pi went downstairs, the innkeeper didn't dare to come forward to speak at all and hid in the corner. Cao Pi put the money on the table, and the boss replied tremblingly: "Thank you, son." ”

"Boss, I'll take the three jars of wine that I said before." At this time, a man dressed in purple clothes stepped into the inn, the man looked a few years older than Cao Pi, Cao Pi glanced at him, the man's eyes made Cao Pi care very much, but when Cao Pi looked back again, that look was no longer there, and Cao Pi then left the inn.

Prime Minister's Office

Mrs. Bian's maid Lan'er walked on the corridor with a water-filled basket (1), and not far away was Mrs. Bian's inner room, where she was going to serve Mrs. Bian to wash and change her clothes.

Someone grabbed her wrist, and Lan'er was frightened and fell to the ground, the water wetting her lower skirt. She looked up, but saw that it was Cao Pi.

Cao Pi's eyes were hot, staring at Lan'er tightly, and because she was holding her hand, her body was close to Cao Pi. Although she is Mrs. Bian's maid, she is just an unmarried girl, and the son in front of her has already grown into a high-spirited and heroic young man at these ages. She blushed and was overwhelmed. "Is there something wrong with Childe? Lan'er is going to serve Madame. ”

"You don't have to serve, the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't need a talkative person like you."

"What does Childe mean? Lan'er didn't understand. ”

Cao Pi let go of Lan'er and pointed his sword at her face. "I don't want to do anything to a woman, you pack up and leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if you want to intercede with that person, it's useless."

"Ke Lan'er doesn't know what she did wrong, why did Childe drive me away?"

"Wrong? You eavesdrop on the private affairs of the house, if the political affairs are listened to by you, and then widely spread by your brother, how dare the house keep you? I, Cao Pi, said yes, wait until tomorrow, if you can still see you in the house, don't blame me for killing women. ”

"Childe! Son! Lan'er knows it's wrong, don't drive me away, please read it when I serve my wife......" When Cao Pi turned to leave, Lan'er stepped forward and grabbed Cao Pi's sleeve, but was pushed hard by Cao Pi, she fell to the ground, Cao Pi didn't mean to turn back at all, leaving Lan'er alone to cry on the ground.

This scene was seen by Cao Cao and Cao Ren, and the two who drank wine walked leisurely. Cao Cao opened his mouth and said, "Zixiao, you just said that Zihuan cut off someone else's hand at the inn. ”

"Yes."

"My son, I thought he was soft-hearted before, but it seems that I was wrong."

"Lord, it's all my fault, it's my negligence."

Zixiao doesn't have to blame himself, Zihuan is still young, and he will know in the future that there are many women in this world. That woman is now His Majesty's queen, and he can't do anything, after all, she is the daughter of Fu Wan, and it will be troublesome if she really kills her. Zixiao, at your age like Zihuan, can you cut off someone's arm completely? ”

"This ......"

"He went out with me this time, and the ruthlessness of charging and killing the enemy was even more ruthless than when I was young."

"After all, Zihuan is the son of the lord, so he naturally follows his father."

"Those who do great things must not be soft-hearted, but if they are too ruthless, they cannot achieve great things." Cao Cao looked up at the moon and stars in the sky and said no more.
