Cao Cao's breathtaking spirit pressed down on me, locking me in place. My body was covered with sweat, and my heart was beating rapidly. Cao Cao had used his own momentum to completely subdue me.
Cao Cao said word by word, "Xiao Ying must be happy! No matter what, she had to be happy! If you do something that you cannot handle Xiao Ying, I will definitely dismember your body into ten thousand pieces, and will die a horrible death! I still want to slaughter everyone from Jiao Prefecture! " I was terrified. I never thought that Cao Cao's domineering aura would be so strong. Everyone at the banquet also had a look of terror on their faces.
Cao Cao's sharp eyes stared at me, almost causing me to suffocate. Although my whole body was drenched in cold sweat, I still met Cao Cao's gaze and mustered my courage to speak out the words in my heart, "I will protect Xiao Ying! Since she is my wife, I have the obligation to not let her hurt me in any way, and to not allow anyone to hurt her in any way! Whoever dares to molest her will be killed by God or by the Devil Slayer! "
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's face was filled with ecstasy. His face revealed a satisfied expression as he laughed heartily and said, "Good! Good! This was what a good man should be like! This was what a good man should be like! A good man should protect his woman! This is a man's natural destiny! " Cao Cao heavily put his hand on my shoulder, sincerely said: "I hope you will remember your promise today! I entrust little Ying to you, hope can't be wrong! "There's no mistake!" "I will!
After Cao Cao was satisfied, the tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared. Everyone at the banquet drank to their heart's content. How unpleasant!
After Xi San left, just as I returned back to my living quarters, Li Xiong walked over to me and said, "Fourth brother, there is a important person here looking for you!" I curiously asked, "Is someone looking for me?" Who is it? " Dong Cheng responded and came out, saying, "Fan Ci Shi, this old one is here to pay a visit, you won't reject me, right?" Seeing that it was Dong Cheng, he immediately bowed and said: "Uncle Lao Qu has come to this lowly place with high regard to me, Chang Le is extremely worried! I wonder what brings Imperial Uncle here? Chang Le will definitely listen to your teachings! " Dong Cheng laughed and said: "Fan Jian Shi, this old one came here to drink with you. I don't know what sire's intentions are?"
"What!?" So late? Uncle Guo came to drink at night? There must be something important to be discussed here! " I thought about it and agreed, "Since Imperial Uncle came over, how could Chang Le dare not take advantage of the owner!" Thus, I took the wine to treat him.
Cheng said: "I don't know if Lord Ci Shi has an imperial edict?" Tian Yan's words that offered the emperor to me echoed in my ears. I immediately replied, "Your Majesty, if there's anything you need to discuss with Imperial Uncle Dong Cheng, as long as all of you are willing to work hard, this big man will definitely be happy! You do not disappoint me, I will not disappoint you! To my will! Remember! "Remember!"
Upon hearing that, Dong Cheng was overjoyed: "I wonder if Fanmeng Shi has a way to get Han?" I fiercely shook my head and said, "Chang Le only knows how to do his best to fulfill the duties that I owe to Your Majesty! It's a pity that no other person has the ability to shine again! " A hint of dissatisfaction appeared on Cheng's face, as if he didn't want to hear this nonsense.
I sensed Dong Cheng's expression and said, "Your Majesty wants me to be like my ancestor, Fan Li, and to do my best to help Your Majesty. Furthermore, His Majesty also told this humble subject that he hoped that the four of us would not disgrace our ancestors and would also be able to stand on both sides of the emperor's throne, just like Zhang Liang and Xiao He. "
Hearing that, Cheng immediately grabbed onto my words and asked: "Fan Jian Shi, if you want to become Fan Li, first of all, understand who is Wu Wang Fu? You can't disappoint His Majesty! When you face the Sage, you will be in charge of everything in the dynasty! " Dong Cheng stared straight at me. I muttered to myself for a moment, then said softly: "Could it be that Wu Wang Fu is Prime Minister Cao?" Dong Cheng gnashed his teeth and said hatefully: "It's precisely this thief! He was a bully to the king, and he was a man of his own free will. When Van Gogh was on the field, he almost killed his brothers. Is the memory of Van Gogh's death still fresh in his mind? "
Cao Cao forced me to fight with Li Xiong, how could I forget! That time on the playground, I was really in pain. The shadow that forced my brothers to be together was still lingering in my heart. Seeing my sullen face, he knew it already, so he took out his paper from his bosom and said: "Van Gogh, look! All you have to do is avenge your country! You can't refuse it! " When I read it carefully, my hair couldn't help but stand on end. I gritted my teeth and chewed on my lips. My mouth was full of blood. I was beyond grief and indignation!
The more convinced Cheng became, the more convinced he became. He took out his memorial and said to me, "Please read it carefully." When I saw that someone had already signed the bill of justice, I didn't hesitate to write down my rank and name before accepting it. He was overjoyed, and said, "Fanmeng Shi should think of today's matter, and swear his allegiance to the country!" I said from the bottom of my heart, "If there is anything that is useful to Chang Le, I will make you pay with my life!" After drinking a few cups, Dong Cheng left with a smile on his face.
The next day. David came to me and said, "Little brother, why don't we go have a drink today?" I cupped my fist and said, "Okay! When they were in Jiao Prefecture, Chang Le had already spoken first, so this time, Chang Le is the leader, inviting the general! " Dianwei laughed heartily and said, "Good! I'll follow the four of you until you're drunk! "Let's go!"
After the food and wine was served, Dianwei grabbed the roasted chicken and ripped it open. He took a big bite out of it and started gulping it down. Dianwei even put his other foot on the stool, not feeling the slightest bit ashamed of his appearance. Chen Zhi saw that Dian Wei's rough and crude manner was not suitable for food, but I didn't care at all and imitated Dian Wei's style, casually drinking and eating meat.
He held up a full bowl of wine and said to the four of us, "Come! "Drink another bowl!" Earlier, when Chen Zhi was being continuously toasted by Dian Wei, he found it difficult to resist, and he rejected. However, I didn't mind at all. I picked up the bowl and clashed with Dianwei. The wine in the bowl kept spilling outwards, splashing onto the dishes. There was a huge amount of Guang Wei wine, but he only heard, "Gulu!" With a gurgling sound, he finished the whole bowl of wine, wiped his mouth, and said loudly, "Awesome! "Awesome!" Obviously, I, Li Xiong, Zhang Tie don't have this ability, I drank for a long time before finishing the wine in my bowl.
He stood up and said, "A man should fight and die on the battlefield for his master, without fear of death! It should be returned in the form of a horse wrapped in a piece of leather! If you want to drink to your heart's content with someone you share the same interests as, this is life! "Haha!"
I agreed and said, "General Dianwei is right!" "I want to make four friends, but if we meet on the battlefield in the future, I will fight to the last drop of my lord's blood and show no mercy!" However, if the interest of the lord is not involved, we are still friends. I have spoken first, but I do not know if the four little brothers are still willing to make a friend like me? "
After all, he would not stab a friend in the back. He would treat a friend as if it were the truth, so how could he not make friends? I was the first to stretch out my hand and clasp it tightly with Dianwei. Seeing this, Li Xiong, Chen Zhi and Zhang Tie also did the same.
The five held their hands together and then Shuwei laughed out loud and said, "Okay! Good! I am pleased to have four friends today! Come! "Cheers!" Then he took a jar of wine, bit off the lid, poured out the wine one by one, lifted the bowl high, and said loudly: "Come! First, do it as a form of respect! " I drank a bowl, and the four of us drank it.
Dian Wei wiped his cheeks and said: "Master wants to let you leave Xu Chang and return to Jiao Prefecture!" Chen Zhi cried out in shock, "What!? Cao Cao wants to let us go back to the Jiao Prefecture? How is that possible? " "Master said so!" I think the Lord will send someone to explain it to you soon! "
What?" Cao Cao, you really want to let us go back? Is this true? " Chen Zhi obviously couldn't believe that Cao Cao would do such a thing. Dian Wei nodded. I also felt strange in my heart, "Cao Cao Cao definitely understood that I was a threatening opponent, but why would he let the tiger return to the mountain? Is it only because I want to be nice to Xiao Ying? What exactly is going on?
However, I am drunk today, so I don't have to bring tomorrow's worries in. I only have to drink with Dianwei and get drunk!
The next day, Cao Ang and the Imperial Envoys personally came here and the Imperial Envoy read out the appointment decree. I never would have thought that I would be conferred the title of "Marquis of the Ankang" and receive the title of Jiao Prefecture as a teacher; however, Li Xiong was the taiwai, Chen Zhi was the taiwai and Zhang Tie was also appointed as the taiwai.
While I was still in shock, Cao Ang said to me: "Fanmeng Shi, when will you be leaving? Father will say his goodbyes for you! " I looked at Cao Ang. "Cao Cao, you want to send me off yourself?" Cao Ang replied warmly, "Yes! Father kept saying that the Lord Fan is half his son, and he wants us to get along with you! I hope that I can meet up with the Lord Fan in the future and have a heart to heart talk! " I cupped my fist in return, "If there's a chance, we should definitely reunite with Young Master!" Cao Ang laughed, "Good! Zi Xiu would definitely drink to his heart's content with Lord Fan in the future! Zi Xiu went back to report! I'll be taking my leave first! "
After sending Cao Ang off, I packed my luggage and prepared to return to my plan. After all, I couldn't be at ease here, and in my heart, I was also worried about Xiao Ying and the two children.
When Cao Cao saw me off, he repeatedly told me to take good care of Xiao Ying, and Guo Jia and the others also had a worried expression on their faces when I left. I felt that they were definitely opposed to letting me go, I was still confused about Cao Cao's ability to put the tiger back in the mountain despite the public criticism. I left Xu Chang as if I were a flood dragon, and of course I ran without stopping, lest Cao Cao change his mind …
