The two had just arrived, and the young man could immediately see Zhuge Liang's careful arrangement, and his insight and wisdom were not high. But he deliberately kept his voice down, obviously not wanting to expose the deception, and Shi Xin had to look at them curiously.

The two of them were also looking at Shi Xin, and when they saw Cai Yan who had just turned around next to him, the young man's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said happily: "Sister Wen Ji?"

Cai Yan stared at him for a long time, but he didn't recognize who it was. But the one who can be called so close will definitely not be a stranger who bumps into nothing, and he can't help but ask: "Who are you?"

The young man's proud face showed a bright smile, and he took a step forward and said happily: "Don't you know me? No wonder you were less than four years old when I left Luoyang." Alas, time is like an arrow, I am your brother Dezu, Yang Xiu. By the way, this is Master Kong Rong of Kong Beihai, and he is also my mentor. ”

The old and young in front of them are Kong Rong and Yang Xiu. Shi Xin once learned from Cai Yong that in the chaos in the palace many years ago, Yang Xiu's father Yang Biao was injured by Lu Bu and later died at the hands of Li Ru. Kong Rong happened to be appointed as the pastor of Qingzhou at that time, so he took the young Yang Xiu to Beihai in a hurry. At the same time, he also established the Beihai branch of the Holy Sect in Beihai, and appointed himself as the head of the sect for many years.

Hearing Yang Xiu call Cai Yan "Sister Wen Ji" and call himself "Brother Dezu", coupled with his excited and affectionate expression, no matter how stupid Shi Xin is, he can see his admiration for Cai Yan. But no matter how you say it, they are all colleagues of the Holy Sect, and the purpose of their coming to Chang'an is not clear, Shi Xin has no choice but to take a step forward with a smile, block in front of Cai Yan, and arch his hand: "It turned out to be Mr. Wenju and Yang Dezu, who have admired the great name for a long time!

Shi Xin reported to his home, Kong Rong's eyes flashed, and he looked at him carefully, and then he saluted: "The Great Protector is good!" It can be seen that his attitude is cold, but Shi Xin's Great Protector was elected by the Chief Sect, and he is the head of a separate sect, so naturally he has no right to question. The Holy Religion is the only Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, adhering to the purpose of Confucianism, and the hierarchy within the religion is strict and must not be transgressed.

Yang Xiu is from the Hongnong Yang family, and is a famous family of the Han Dynasty. He is talented, and his cultivation is not low, he asks his family background, and his own conditions are better than Shi Xin, but he was snatched away by Shi Xin, a poor boy, and snatched her away when he was not by Cai Yan's side. He was young and vigorous, so he was naturally full of dissatisfaction, only saying that Cai Yan was abducted by Shi Xin when she was young, and she would definitely save her in the future. Now when he sees Shi Xin, he can be regarded as "the enemy meets and his eyes are red", he doesn't say hello or speak, and his eyes are staring at him, wanting to burst into flames.

Shi Xin sneered, ignoring Yang Xiu, but looked at Kong Rong with a cold face: "Kong Beihai is the twentieth grandson of the Confucian saint, let the story of the pear spread all over the Han Dynasty, and he is a model in the world." I often tell my disciples that although Kong Beihai is far away in Qingzhou, we must understand his high righteousness from afar, and we must be a person who abides by public order and good customs and respects our teachers. ”

Kong Rong was praised by Shi Xin, and his face was slightly pale. Seeing his cold face again, he didn't know what he meant, and was about to say a few polite words, but Shi Xin preempted him and said: "Who knows, Yang Dezu, Kong Beihai's beloved disciple, still turned a blind eye after the Dharma Protector reported himself to his home with his face on his face, and he glared at me excessively. After Kong Beihai became a saint, while setting a good example for himself, he couldn't leave the heavy responsibility of educating students. ”

Kong Rong originally had a generous personality, but when he was teased by Shi Xin, he was suddenly speechless and stood frozen on the spot. Yang Xiu is not an easy person to deal with, he was about to sneer at each other, and suddenly heard a cool voice behind him laughing, "Great Protector, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your cultivation has improved again!"

This person came so quickly, his voice was still two feet away, and after a breath, he was already standing beside Yang Xiu, looking at Shi Xin with a smile.

The person who came was not tall, but he was extremely powerful, and he was full of confidence in his gestures. The eyes are small and narrow, with fine light inside. With a ruddy face, a full beard, and vigorous hair, who is it not Cao Cao?

"Meng Degong, don't come unharmed! I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I'm getting more and more healthy!"

"Haha, where, where, it's another year old. Cao Cao laughed heartily, and a few young people rushed behind him, all of whom were Shi Xin's old acquaintances: Xun Yu Xun You, Dian Wei Xu Chu, and finally Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan brothers pressed the formation.

I haven't seen her for more than a year, Xun Yu Xun You is more elegant, her eyes are deep, and she seems to have a halo of wisdom when she stands in place. Dian Wei Xu Chu has grown a lot stronger, and his body has surpassed that of the adult Xiahou brothers. Xu Chu couldn't help but squeeze Kong Rong away with his sturdy body, "Hey, old man, let go!" Kong Rong was suddenly squeezed out a few steps by him. Xu Chu and Dian Wei stood on Cao Cao's left and right like two iron towers, and it seemed that they had taken the place of the Xiahou brothers' guards.

After everyone finished saluting, they only listened to Xun Yu's "huh", brushed aside the crowd in front of them, looked at the "Cao E Tablet" in the hands of the Holy Sect disciples, stretched out their fingers and continued to draw according to the gestures, and let out a "tsk" exclamation in their mouths, and they could no longer leave half a step.

Xun Yu's veins are Wang Zuo's scrolls, and his calligraphy is also very high, and when he saw Cai Yong's own Feibai book, he was immediately attracted. After looking at it for a long time, he turned his head to Cao Cao and said: "Lord, this is Cai Sikong's true handiwork, his Feibai Book has improved compared to before, I believe it will be of great benefit to my cultivation, I want to take it as my own and go back to study slowly." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand, "No problem, I'll ask Cai Sikong to come when I go back." ”

Xu Gongzi listened to him confidently and walked out slowly, "I'm sorry, just now the contemptible person has bought this ink treasure, if this adult wants it, he has to buy it from me." The words were quite polite. Of course, anyone can see the difference between Cao Cao's gang, unless they are fools, they will provoke them.

Among the onlookers, there was still no shortage of Zhuge Liang's invitation, and I don't know who shouted: "Hey, Xu Gongzi, the bidding just now is not over, how can you say that Mobao is yours? I just bid for 4,000 taels of gold, and I haven't made a decision yet!"

Xu Gongzi's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he shouted at the man and asked, "I gave three thousand five hundred taels just now, why didn't you speak?

"Cut! Didn't I take a nap on the ground just now?" The man was also a scoundrel, and casually made an excuse to choke Xu Gongzi speechless.

"Okay, a fixed price, five thousand taels of gold. I, Cao Mengde, am a guest from afar, so you can give me a face, and stop here!" Cao Cao is a person, just after a little thought, he saw the mystery of this.

The disciples of the Holy Sect did not hesitate anymore, and quickly made a decision, and this ink treasure finally belonged to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao touched his arms, and said with a smile to Shi Xin: "Great Protector, I came in a hurry today, and I don't have any money in my body, so I will pay it back on credit first, and I will return it tomorrow." ”

"Since Brother Wen Ruo likes it, why not give it to him? Shi Xin also laughed and said boldly.

Cao Cao hurriedly waved his hand, "How can that be, don't break the rules." He summoned Xiahou Yuan, "Miaocai, go and get five thousand gold immediately." Xiahou Yuan took the order and flew away.

The disciples of the Holy Sect saw that Cao Cao kept calling the young man in front of him "Great Protector", and at first glance, it was really similar to what the sect described, but he was also afraid of putting on an oolong, so he whispered to his colleagues next to him to invite Zhuge Liang and others to welcome the return of the Great Protector.

Cao Cao was also a literati, and since he bought Mobao at a high price, he naturally had to appreciate it. At this time, Yang Xiu was afraid that he would put away the Mobao, and he also suspended his hostility towards Shi Xin, squeezed into the crowd, and watched the Mobao with Cao Cao and the others.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Xiahou stood up in the crowd and shouted impatiently: "Go away, go away, don't get in the way." Stretching out his big hand, he rudely pushed the crowd away, leaving a large open space for Cao Cao and the others. These three people are fierce and vicious, and they are not good at first glance. Especially Dian Wei and Xu Chu, one bald and one garlic, burly, standing in the crowd has a terrifying oppressive force, and no one wants to approach.

Cao Cao was afraid that they would go too far and not look good on Shi Xin's face, so he frowned and said, "You three, just stop in moderation!" The three of them stopped.

Most of the people were students, and because of the existence of anagrams, they were reluctant to leave immediately, muttering and repeating those eight words, but no one could answer. Some people began to look at Cao Cao and others, who were also well-known literary scholars in the Han Dynasty, especially Cao Cao and Kong Rong became famous very early, only a little lower than Cai Yong.

Xun Yu and Xun You frowned, and after thinking for a long time, they couldn't help but sigh: "Cai Sikong is worthy of being a literati leader, and even the anagrams are endless. Maybe only the lord and Feng Xiao can give it a try. ”

Cao Cao was conceited and intelligent, and although he couldn't guess it for a while, he couldn't help but think about it intensively.

Suddenly, Yang Xiu sneered, "What kind of riddle is this?" I only need to look at it to know the answer to the riddle." Meng Degong has been famous for a long time, haven't you come up with it yet, and if you can't think of it again, I'm going to announce the answer. ”

Xun You sneered: "Speaking of long-term prestige, the Lingshi Kong Wenju is not inferior to our lord at all, he is still the twentieth grandson of Confucius." Why, do you even look down on your own teacher?"

As soon as these words came out, Kong Rong, who was thinking seriously next to him, blushed, and his face was a little unbearable.

Yang Xiu didn't take Kong Rong's embarrassment to heart, he rushed to Chang'an from Beihai with a major purpose, and now his mind is full of getting ahead, taking out all his skills to deter others, only in this way will people be impressed, and it will be easier to approach his goal. And when it comes to quick thinking, there are really few people present who can compare to him.

"Hmph, I didn't say my teacher, I said Cao Mengde. Don't sow discord, the relationship between our master and apprentice is very good. Yang Xiu suddenly raised his voice, "Cao Mengde, if you can't think of it again, I'm going to announce the answer." Anyone present who knows the answer can raise their hand. Including you, Smith!"

At the mention of Shi Xin, Yang Xiu was furious, "Legend has it that Ji Kang's "Guangling San" was created under your guidance. He also said that you provided valuable advice to "Feibaishu", so let's see if you are selling your reputation or learning from your real talents!"
