Chapter Fifty-Nine: Cao Ren
Last night, Yuan Shao didn't sleep all night. Since sending people, Yuan Shao has not calmed down, and he doesn't know why he always has a feeling of restlessness. Although he had absolute confidence in the people he sent out, Yuan Shao always felt that something was abnormal.
Later, he sent someone to investigate, but the news he got made Yuan Shao jump. The eleven secret guards, including the leader of the secret guards, were all killed, a result that Yuan Shao could not accept. And the news I got was that Fan Xiwen actually colluded with Zhi Jinwu, if the people of the He Group investigated it carefully, they would definitely know that Yuan Shao did something in the middle. The most important thing is that Zhi Jinwu is a person from the eunuch Zhang Rang's faction, if Zhang Rang wants to take the opportunity to suppress the He Group, then the He Group will definitely suffer a dumb loss.
The top priority is not to continue to worry about Fan Xiwen, but to quickly put aside the relationship with this assassination. And the key this time is on Fan Xiwen's body, as long as the relationship between himself and Fan Xiwen is restored, then even if Zhi Jinwu wants to splash dirty water on his body, there is nowhere to start.
It's just that Fan Xiwen is not a good type, and it may not be easy to get Fan Xiwen to give up his pursuit of himself. After thinking about it, Yuan Shao had to admit that he didn't have any good ideas, and later he had to send someone to invite his own think tank, Mr. Match. Later, Mr. Judge just said that it was enough for Yuan Shao to wait for good news at home, saying that there would be nothing tomorrow.
For his own strategist, Yuan Shaocao Bao still believes very much. The judge is a famous man in Hebei, proficient in the art of war and strategy, and his wisdom is quite good. At the beginning, Yuan Shao went out of the mountain in order to ask for a trial, but it took a lot of effort to say that he moved.
Yuan Shao is actually not as unbearable as Fan Xiwen thinks, at least in the early stage, it is still quite good. Although Yuan Shao was very arrogant, he stood firmly on the throne of the first prince for a long time in the initial struggle for hegemony, which was inseparable from Yuan Shao's early performance because the Yuan family was the fourth and third dukes. When he was young, Yuan Shao was righteous and chivalrous, and he raised a large number of doormen in private. However, because of the clan uncle in the family, Yuan Kui, the current Tai Lieutenant, has always expressed dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao's private support for the doorman. Therefore, Yuan Shao dismissed the doormen before he came to Luoyang, but he left the trial by his side, which shows how much Yuan Shao values the trial.
After listening to the confident words of the judge, Yuan Shao was more stable than taking the reassuring pill. The next day, before Yuan Shao got up, he heard a report from his family, saying that Cao Cao had sent his family to invite him to Qingfeng Tower for a banquet. When Yuan Shao asked who else attended the banquet, Yuan Shao came to a surprise conclusion, and Fan Xiwen was actually among them.
After getting the news, Yuan Shao immediately dressed up and prepared to go to Qingfeng Building for a banquet.
Fan Xiwen came to the door of Qingfeng Building and looked at the positive word "Chu" and was stunned, because he never remembered that Le'an had such a branch actually opened in the capital, after all, there was no protection from the Le'an army, which was really a little uneasy.
"This master, please inside." The shopkeeper looked at Fan Xiwen standing at the door stunned, and there were a lot of guards behind him, and he knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary family, so he hurriedly rushed out to greet him, and he was courteous.
"I'm not busy, who took the name of Xiao Er's store?" Fan Xiwen waved his hand to signal the shopkeeper to say that he was not in a hurry to enter, and then asked curiously.
"This lord, the name of this store was taken by Lord Fan Xiwen in Le'an Ling, speaking of which Le'an Ling is a well-known celebrity in the world, a small ······." Speaking of this shop, Xiao Er's eloquence was fully exerted, and it was a gushing mouth.
It's just that the one in front of you is the main one. Why is Fan Xiwen not impressed?
Fan Xiwen stood there in a daze, looked around carefully, and finally came up with a very familiar answer. But Fan Xiwen never remembered when he had written a plaque for someone, and even if it was an inscription, only Le'an's Qingfeng Building was personally mentioned by him.
"What's the matter, standing here and not going in?" Lao Cao came down with a ticket that went to Beijing with him, and looked at Fan Xiwen standing at the door of Qingfeng Building, like an old monk in a fixed place, and couldn't help asking.
"I wonder if I have some kind of Alzheimer's disease." Fan Xiwen came back to his senses after hearing Lao Cao's question, but he didn't turn his head to say hello, but continued to stare at the plaque and said.
After listening to Fan Xiwen's answer, Lao Cao was a little puzzled, how could he say that he was stupid for no reason? So Lao Cao waved his hand and called the shopkeeper over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The shopkeeper is also a small person who has seen the scene, and seeing that Lao Cao's subordinates behind him are all mighty, he knows that the two masters in front of him are not simple characters, so he told Lao Cao about the previous things again.
"Hahaha. It's really ······." Lao Cao laughed out loud when he heard it, and originally wanted to use some words to make fun of Fan Xiwen, but after thinking about it, there was really no word to describe, so he had to hold back and didn't know how to say it.
"Big brother, this is really interesting. Okay, let's not talk about that, let's go in first! Otherwise, Yuan Benchu will arrive at that time. "Out of the one of Lao Cao's subordinates walked out a mighty and strong man, still touching the hilt of a sword in his hand, his waist was straight, and he knew at a glance that it was not a thing in the pool. and also called Lao Cao the eldest brother, so he must be a brother in the Lao Cao clan.
"This is." Because the voice of the mighty man was full of energy, it sounded like a feeling that could not be ignored, so Fan Xiwen turned around and asked with Lao Cao.
"Oh, this is Cao Zhi's younger brother, Cao Ren, the word is filial piety." Lao Cao patted Cao Ren's shoulder, and then introduced to Fan Xiwen with a smile, "Zixiao, this is Fan Xiwen of Le'an Ling, the word Wenxuan, I haven't seen it soon." When introducing Fan Xiwen, Lao Cao deliberately said his official position, and his voice was a few points higher than usual, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Cao Zixiao has seen adults." Cao Ren respectfully saluted Fan Xiwen.
"This, General Cao, please hurry up." Facing Cao Ren's gift, Fan Xiwen was a little stunned. According to the records in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or historical books, the current Cao Ren's official position will definitely be greater than Fan Xiwen's, so Fan Xiwen is ashamed of Cao Ren's courtesy.
"Wen Xuan, Zixiao has only been coming from his hometown for less than a few days, you can't be called a general?" Lao Cao felt a little strange about Fan Xiwen's words, but he did not correct his mistakes, Cao Ren's ability is obvious to everyone, and a small general is naturally not a problem.
"Just from my hometown?" Fan Xiwen is stupid, it doesn't make sense that Cao Ren didn't come out until now, could it be that Cao Cao only took Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan when he participated in the pacification of the Yellow Turban Uprising?
"Yes, okay, let's go in first, I think it won't be long before Yuan Benchu will come." Lao Cao just explained briefly and hurriedly urged Fan Xiwen to go in, I don't know why Lao Cao always made Fan Xiwen feel a little uncomfortable when he mentioned Yuan Shao. However, when Fan Xiwen carefully recalled it, he always thought it was his own delusion.
"Okay, Brother Cao, please." Fan Xiwen didn't want to continue to stand under this, he didn't sleep well last night, so he was very unenergetic now, and now he has been standing under this for a long time, and he always feels a little tired. So he made a false lead to Cao Cao and invited Cao Cao in, but this action was really a bit anti-guest-oriented. Fortunately, Cao Cao and Cao Ren are not the kind of lords who care about the scene very much, and they don't have much disgust with Fan Xiwen's anti-guest.
Everyone stepped into Qingfeng Building, and suddenly remembered that something was wrong, and looked back, it turned out that Xiao Er was still stunned and didn't catch up, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
