Chapter 138: Return to Xudu
Cao Ang is not a ruthless person, and after really seeing that the young Xiahou Juan was tortured to the point of almost half death at this time, he finally felt pity.
Coupled with the fact that this Xiahou Qingyi pleaded bitterly to herself, as if she had a deep sisterly relationship with her, how could Cao Ang make this Xiahou Qingyi sad.
In the end, Cao Ang relented, and the order that was originally issued was also withdrawn by him personally at this time.
"Humph! If it weren't for the light clothes you begged hard, she would treat and bully you like this, not to mention her alone, even if it was the Xiahou family in Qiaoxian County, this son would definitely not be spared! ”
After a cold snort, Cao Ang looked at Xiahou Juan in front of him, who was already as muddy as a walking corpse, and then warned her again.
"Xiahou Qingyi is a childhood friend of my son, you bullied her in every way before, the death penalty can be avoided but the living crime cannot be escaped, and in the future, I will follow Qingyi to be her slave and serve well!"
While forgiving Xiahou Juan, in order to avenge Xiahou Qingyi's previous bullying, Cao Ang put Xiahou Juan next to Xiahou Qingyi as a slave.
After hearing that he was saved, Xiahou Juan in front of him also showed a look of hope in his eyes.
It's just that Xiahou Qingyi on the side heard that she wanted Xiahou Juan to become her slave, and she had always been extremely respectful to this Xiahou Juan, and she was ready to resign.
And after Cao Ang saw such a scene, he didn't wait for Xiahou Qingyi to speak, and then questioned first.
"What? Fang just said that you can be a cow or a horse, but now you have to regret it? ”
After hearing such words, although Xiahou Qingyi still couldn't accept it, he didn't say anything in the end, so he could only step forward and help up this Xiahou Juan.
At present, Xiahou Juan's body is already full of flesh and skin, and naturally no one will take care of her when she is escorted all the way, so at this time, her body is full of blood.
Although this smell was quite pungent, even Cao Ang couldn't avoid it after smelling it, but at this time, Xiahou Qingyi didn't have any dislike, and only the safety of this sister who grew up with him since he was a child was in his eyes.
Cao Ang, who originally wanted to let this Xiahou Qingyi ignore this Xiahou Juan, finally didn't speak, and after sighing, he still explained before leaving.
"These Japanese sons need to discuss important matters, so you don't have to wait by your side."
Listening to such words, Xiahou Qingyi didn't know that this was this son who was giving himself time to take care of Miss Juan, and his heart was full of gratitude to him again.
After such a scene happened, almost everyone around Cao Ang also knew the status of this Xiahou Qingyi by Cao Ang's side at this time.
So although her identity is still a maid, no one dares to disrespect her.
The group walked slowly for a few more days, and finally returned to Xudu.
Knowing that Gongzi Cao Ang was triumphant first, many officials who wanted to tie Cao Cao up also came to greet him at this time, and the gate of Xudu City was also densely packed.
After all, this time Cao Cao sent troops to conquer Xuzhou, and not only subdued the land of Xuzhou, but also persuaded Lu Bu, Yang Feng, Han Xian and others, and the number of troops increased a lot.
The courtiers who were still hovering between this Tianzi and Cao Cao before, and didn't know which side to fall towards, naturally made up their minds after learning such news.
Although Cao Ang said that he ignored this matter in the court, he knew that his father was a Lixian corporal, so when he saw this hundred officials come out to greet him, he naturally had no reason not to see it.
Accompanied by Guo Jia, Cao Ang, who was wearing a military uniform, also walked out slowly, and slowly stepped forward under the shouts of the hundred officials.
Although these officials came to greet Cao Ang spontaneously, after they actually came to greet him, they still gathered in groups of like-minded people.
Cao Ang saw at a glance that in the middle of the place, there were several officials gathered together, and it was obvious that those people were the heads of the hundred officials who came out to greet him.
"Feng Xiao, how many people are the leaders of the hundred officials, do you recognize?"
While slowly stepping forward, Cao Ang also questioned Guo Jia.
This Guo Jia is a scholar from Yingchuan, and he has been recommended by Xun Yu to join Cao Cao's side for a while, so he naturally understands the officials above the court.
At this time, after hearing Cao Ang's inquiry, he also hurriedly introduced him.
"Childe, these adults are Gao Tang Hua Xin Hua Ziyu, Yingchuan Zhong Xuan, Zhong Yuanchang and Beihai Bingyuan Bing Genju. They are all talents that the prime minister wanted to win over before, but they have been wavering. ”
"This time, they took the initiative to come to greet the prime minister, perhaps they also planned to take this opportunity to attach themselves to the prime minister through the son."
After hearing that the few people in front of him turned out to be Hua Xin and Zhong Xuan, Cao Ang's eyes immediately lit up, these two were quite famous ministers when Cao Wei was established, and when they came to vote, Cao Ang naturally did not dare to slack off.
"Haha! Since it is the person that my father wants to win over, my son will naturally not slack off, so let's get off the horse and walk over. ”
After smiling happily, Cao Ang, who was originally riding a high-headed horse and planned to enter the city in triumph, was not too arrogant at this time, but called this Guo Jia off the horse and greeted him together.
Na Huaxin, Zhong Xuan and the others were also quite surprised to see this Cao Gongzi dismount in person to greet him, and they didn't dare to wait in place when they saw Cao Ang coming step by step, so they followed the trend and went up first.
"Congratulations to the triumph of Cao Gongzi!"
After a shout, many officials also saluted Cao Ang.
It's just that although Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Cao intends to hone this son, so he didn't give him a substantive official position, so the hundred officials present didn't dare to talk nonsense, and directly called Cao Ang his son.
And Cao Ang naturally didn't care about this, at this time, after his eyes were on the few scholars led by him, his face also showed a heroic look.
"Haha! Before, the Prime Minister's Mansion encountered a rebel attack, and this time he was still a little worried about Xu Du, and today he saw all of you here to greet him, Cao Zixuan can be regarded as relieved! ”
Cao Ang's words were punns, and after hearing such words, whether it was Zhong Xuan or Hua Xin, they all heard another layer of meaning in the other party's words, and they also expressed their positions at this time.
"Cao Gongzi rest assured, Xu has the prime minister's left-behind soldiers and horses, and I and other hundreds of officials will manage it together, and there will never be any trouble!"
In such a reassurance, the smile on Cao Ang's face became even stronger, and then he personally held these courtiers to triumph together.
Along the way, Cao Ang also asked them some questions about the livelihood of the people in the capital.
These people are the mainstays of Xu Du's internal affairs, so they are naturally able to answer each other fluently at this time, and soon both sides have a general understanding of each other.
