Xiahou Ba and the three returned to Xuchang and went to the palace to ask Cao Cao for their guilt, and saw everyone with strange expressions along the way, pointing behind their backs.

Xiahou Nan was shocked in his heart and asked, "The matter of Xiangyang has reached Xuchang so quickly?" ”

Xiahou Ba frowned, walked quickly with a calm face, and came to the Mingguang Palace, after the emperor moved the capital, this place has been changed to the prime minister's mansion.

The three of them walked up the steps of the white marble, and saw Xu Chu standing at the door with a big belly and a knife, and hurriedly invited someone to come in to report.

Soon Cao Chun walked out, and Cao Tai hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Second uncle, does the prime minister know about Xiangyang?" ”

Cao Chun glanced at the three of them and said in a low voice: "Wuguan is lost, and you can cause a big disaster." ”

The three of them were stunned, and Xiahou Mao muttered: "Wuguan is about my bird? ”

Before Cao Tai could ask in detail, Cao Chun had already turned around and entered, so he had to follow up, Cao Cao was leaning on top of the soft collapse, his forehead covered with a towel.

The three of them knelt down to meet each other, and Xiahou Ba pleaded guilty: "The three of us are not doing things well, please punish the prime minister." ”。

Cao Cao turned his head and asked lightly, "Where is the Qingyu Sword?" ”

Xiahou Nan hurriedly said: "Qingyu Jian stayed in Xiangyang for some reason. ”

"Why?" Cao Cao's slender eyes narrowed into a slit, "Lost?" Or was it snatched and stolen by Liu Qi? ”

Xiahou Nan said: "It's me who pledged it to Liu Qi!" ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao was a little surprised, "You are waiting to send your relatives here, not a war transaction, why do you pledge the sword?" Didn't you be coerced by Liu Qi? ”

"That's not it, Liu Qi treated us politely, because we found out that the grandson of the former Taiwei Zhang Wen, he has three thousand taels of gold......"

"Three thousand taels of gold?" Cao Cao bowed slightly, and sneered: "This must be Liu Qi's plan!" ”

"No, no, this is what I saw with my own eyes, and Liu Qi didn't know it!" Xiahou Nan hurriedly waved his hand and pushed Xiahou Ba beside him: "Zhongquan, explain quickly." ”

He has always been very in awe of Cao Cao, and when he was questioned first, he was flustered, and he had been to the Qinglou, so he was a little incoherent.

Xiahou Ba replied: "I waited in Xiangyang, I wanted to collect intelligence, but I accidentally met Zhang Wei......"

"Stupid!" As soon as Xiahou Ba said that they had pledged the Qingyu Sword and were about to use the furniture to transport the gold, Cao Cao sat up abruptly and threw the towel on the table.

staring at the stunned three people, the scolding turned into a sigh: "Reading the book of sages together, classmate the art of war, why is Liu Qi so good?" ”

Cao Tai was suddenly unconvinced: "Why did the prime minister say this? ”

Cao Cao sneered: "Where is Zhang Wei? ”

Cao Tai said helplessly: "When crossing the Han River, I encountered wind and waves, gold sank into the river, and Zhang Wei's whereabouts were unknown. ”

Cao Cao took a deep breath and sighed: "There is no Zhang Wei in this world, or everyone is Zhang Wei. ”

Xiahou Ba's face suddenly changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Could it be that this person was deliberately arranged by Liu Qi?" ”

Cao Cao snorted coldly: "If you wait until Xiangyang and go around to find out the news, how can Liu Qi not know?" Liu Biao has been running Jingzhou for decades, and he may not have 3,000 taels of gold, if there is really a remnant of the Cai family to hide his property, how can he hide it from Liu Qi? ”

"Impossible!" Xiahou Nan shouted: "Gold is what we have seen with our own eyes, Zhang Weita ......"

"Shut up!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Do you know that Liu Qi used the Qingyu Sword to falsely claim my life and earn the martial arts, and Xiahou Cun has died because of this?" ”

"Huh?" The three of them were stunned at the same time, and they couldn't imagine that such a change would happen in just a few days.

After a while, Xiahou Nan said angrily: "Good Liu Qi, I put my heart into him, he actually used this method to deceive and sneak attack, I swear to take revenge." ”

"That's it!" Cao Cao waved his hand: "This is also when you are young and vigorous, and you are eager to make meritorious contributions, you will be successful, so let's step down!" ”

Xiahou Ba asked, "What about Wuguan?" ”

"I've got it!" Cao Cao looked at several juniors and said slowly: "After this incident, you must study hard, be ashamed and brave, and only then will you serve the country in the future." ”

Xiahou Nan hugged his fists and said: "Prime Minister rest assured, I will definitely take back the Qingyu Sword, and I will be ashamed today." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Zilin stays, you two go back!" ”

When Xiahou Ba and the others left, Xiahou Nan panicked and hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, Yue, father-in-law, I took a concubine privately for the three thousand taels of gold......

"Do you really think that I don't know about Xuchang?"

Cao Cao snorted coldly, which frightened Xiahou Nan and shrank on the ground and didn't dare to speak.

"At a young age, I don't know how to make a career, but I am obsessed with women, and I am anxious for success and profit, how can I become a big thing?"

Cao Cao hated that iron could not become steel, and he married his eldest daughter to Xiahou Nan, just to promote the Xiahou clan, but Xiahou Nan's performance was really disappointing.

In the past, he turned a blind eye to Xiahoudun's face, but this time he was played by Liu Qi, and he really couldn't stand it.

"I think my Xiahou clan has been handsome for generations, your father is a hero, Yuan Rang is in the army, and he can also welcome his teacher in person, but you can't do martial arts, and you raise concubines all day long, who did you learn from?"

Xiahou Nan trembled, cold sweat broke out, and he said in a trembling voice: "I must change my past mistakes and atone for my sins." ”

"But you bought that mansion for nothing!" Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered, "Black Pearl...... Maybe it's useful. ”

Speaking of the black pearl, Xiahou Nan suddenly raised his head: "Although those furniture have sunk into the river, they also brought back a few waterbeds to honor my father-in-law." ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "What is a waterbed?" ”

Xiahou Nan's eyes lit up: "This bed can be filled with water, lying on it like in the waves, soft and light, if used between the sheets, it is more effective with half the effort, which is mysterious, and my father-in-law will know it if he has used it." ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Nan's eyes, became curious, stroked his beard and smiled: "It's rare that you have such filial piety, I want to give it a try, go and prepare it quickly." ”

Xiahou Nan let out a sigh of relief, left the hall with joy, and was walking out, but when he saw Cao Pi coming towards him, he stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "Zihuan came just in time, I have something important to discuss with you." ”

Cao Pi is the eldest son, feared and feared, Xiahou Nan is disliked, and among the younger brothers in his life, only he is the closest.

Cao Pi was puzzled: "My brother-in-law made a big mistake, why is he still so happy?" ”

"I've got a plan!" Xiahou Nan smiled mysteriously and pulled Cao Pi out.

"I'm having a clue and I'm going to ask my father ......"

"Your talent is far from Zijian, don't bother about it!"

Xiahou Nan said in a low voice: "I have a way to make money, and I will definitely be able to share the worries of the prime minister, this is also the time when you make meritorious service, if you earn millions of money, isn't it a hundred times stronger than poetry?" ”

"Really?" Cao Pi couldn't help but be moved, he knew that Cao Cao was having a headache for money and food right now, so he immediately shook his head and said: "My father asked me to practice literature and martial arts, and learn the way of governing the country, how can I go to business and govern the business?" ”

"You don't need to handle it, I'll do it!" Xiahou Nan smiled and said: "I contribute, you contribute, I have thought of the name: it's called Pimaotang, how about it?" ”
