Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 480 The Art of Controlling People (4000)

Of course Wu Liang would not go to see Cao Ni alone.

He originally planned to find Cao Tin after he arranged the residence with his servants, and then he would meet Cao Ni with Cao Tin's company, so it would be fine if he had such a light bulb around, it would be inconvenient for Cao Ni to have too much to do with him The in-depth communication can also be regarded as coping with Boss Cao's "love".

Unexpectedly, the forefoot has just settled down, and before Wu Liang has time to leave the house, Cao Ni has already come to the door.

"Wu Youcai, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are darker than when I saw you last time."

Like a cat, she leaned against the door frame and looked at Wu Liang silently, until Wu Liang was startled when he suddenly found her when he turned around, Cao Ni showed a rather subtle smile and said softly.

At this moment, Cao Ni has obviously gone through a lot of careful dressing, and looks brighter than before. He even rolled up his hair in a bun and inserted a beautiful hosta, revealing a fair and slender neck... This is what a woman has done The hairstyle that should be combed after the ceremony, but Cao Ni has already combed it at this time, how can this teach Wu Liang not to be more vigilant?
Because in addition to the custom of giving gifts at the age of 15, there is another custom, that is, women should give gifts before they get married after they are engaged.

Therefore, it is very likely that Cao Ni dressed up like this because he has already passed the ceremony and can marry him anytime, anywhere, but Boss Cao didn't force the marriage because of his face or because he didn't want to push him too hard...

When he came back to his senses, Wu Liang bowed his head and saluted, "I've seen the young lady."

"You and brother Anmin are hooking shoulders, but you have to be so upright when you see me, it's hard for you."

Cao Ni stared straight at Wu Liang, and finally sighed softly, as if Wu Liang had suffered a great grievance by doing so, and had been trying to suppress his inner feelings, "Mother said that you are inferior to your own origin. , it is not easy for you to get to where you are today, so you cherish everything you have now, and you don’t dare to surpass or make mistakes easily, so you don’t dare to face me squarely before you get married. You live so cautiously, you must be very bitter in your heart Bar?"

"???"

Wu Liang was stunned for a moment, what kind of enterprise-level understanding is this?
Oh——this remark was said by Cao Ni's adoptive mother, and her adoptive mother is Mrs. Ding...that's all right.

Cao Ni and Cao Ang's biological mother was originally Mrs. Liu, but unfortunately Mrs. Liu died very early, so the siblings have been raised by the barren Mrs. Ding since they were young, and they are closer than their biological mothers.

But this Mrs. Ding is actually a ruthless person.

In history, after Dian Wei, Cao Ang, and Cao Ti died together in Wancheng, Mrs. Ding was heartbroken because of Cao Ang's death. She wailed and cried all day long, and often complained that Boss Cao killed her son.

Boss Cao was both angry and helpless, in order not to be stabbed in the heart by Mrs. Ding over and over again, he had to send her back to her natal home first, in order to teach her to calm down and stop making trouble.

However, when Boss Cao became more and more powerful and wanted to take her back, she was already a stranger to Boss Cao, so much so that Boss Cao couldn't change her mind even after three times of persuasion, and finally had to formally cooperate. Leave.

It's not that Boss Cao divorced Mrs. Ding.

It was Mrs. Ding who divorced Boss Cao.

In such an era, with such an identity, such a thing, who dares to say that Mrs. Ding is not a ruthless person?
Such a ruthless way of thinking is naturally unique.

Of course, Wu Liang did not mean that Mrs. Ding had a problem with her mind. Since she could not have children, she must cherish Cao Ang and Cao Ni even more, and treat them as her own children. Besides, Cao Ang is the eldest son of Boss Cao. The legitimate heir to the foundation, in ancient China, paid attention to the value of a mother and child, but ended up dying because of Boss Cao's personal hobby. How could Mrs. Ding not be in a hurry, how could she not be angry?

It's just that this matter is a little inflexible, with a little stubbornness and determination, which not everyone can understand.

It is not impossible for Madam Ding to teach Cao Ni to understand Wu Liang's indifference in this way. Wu Liang cannot easily understand her thoughts.

"Have you been hit by my mother?"

Seeing Wu Liang stunned, Cao Ni thought that Wu Liang had seen the expression of a confidant, and then said, "You can rest assured, I am not an ignorant person, and I will be cautious in my words and deeds in front of outsiders from now on. I will never be your drag and embarrass you, now that you and I have a marriage contract, harming you is also harming myself."

While talking, although Cao Ni was leaning on the door frame, his feet were always outside the threshold, and he did not take a step easily.

If it was in the past, she wouldn't have cared about the saying that lonely men and widows could not live together in the same room, she would have rushed into the room to talk to Wu Liang, just like a female bandit.

obviously.

Cao Ni should have received a series of trainings and teachings during the six months that he hadn't met, trying to learn how to restrain himself and how to be a lady.

And her adoptive mother, Mrs. Ding, naturally contributed a lot.

That's a good thing.

At least Cao Ni should not mess around now, and Wu Liang can continue to "drag".

Thinking of this, Wu Liang saluted again and said: "Young master's words are too serious, how dare I regard your son as a burden, I'm afraid you will become a burden for your son and miss your life."

"For us women, if you can't stay with the person you like forever, you will miss your whole life."

Cao Ni smiled subtly again, her pretty face flushed slightly.

"..."

Cao Ni behaved like this, if he didn't know what Cao Ni was like in history, Wu Liang almost thought that this girl was a lady of every family.

I have to admit that Mrs. Ding's training is indeed very effective.

It's just that at this point, Wu Liang didn't know how to continue. He was afraid that things would develop in a bad direction as he talked.

at this time.

"General Wu! General Wu? General Wu!"

Prince Chamu's voice came from outside the house, he had already settled himself, and immediately ran to look for Wu Liang.

After all, in the Cao Mansion, Wu Liang was the only person he knew, and just now Wu Liang had told him that he would take him to meet Cao Ang and Cao Ting after he settled down, which was what Boss Cao meant.

"here!"

Wu Liang walked out of the room from Cao Ni sideways, and waved to Prince Chamu who just came over.

"So General Wu is here. I just saw that the person standing at the door was not General Wu, so I thought I went to the wrong yard."

Prince Chamu lowered his eyes to look at Cao Ni, then retracted his gaze very politely, and said to Wu Liang with a smile.

"This is the envoy's daughter-in-law."

Wu Liang introduced the two of them quite formally, "Master, this is the prince of Shanshan Kingdom and the envoy, Prince Chamu."

"Meet the girl."

Prince Chamu hurriedly stroked his chest and saluted.

"I met Prince Chamu."

Cao Ni returned the gift with a smile, and then said to Wu Liang, "Since you have something to discuss with Prince Chamu, I will go back first... By the way, I made some clothes for you with my own hands, and Your leather boots have worn off after a year of trekking through mountains and rivers, I also made a pair for you, and I will send someone to bring them to you later, you have been traveling all year round, don’t treat yourself badly.”

"Uh……"

Cao Ni's concern, understanding and sincerity taught Wu Liang a little uncomfortable, but he could only smile and thank him, "Thank you, my son."

"Prince Chamu, leave."

Cao Ni pursed her lips and nodded, saluted Prince Chamu again, and walked out of the courtyard with small steps.

"..."

Looking at her back, Wu Liang was in a complicated mood.

"General Wu, this young lady is the fiancée that your envoy mentioned several times just now?"

Prince Chamu asked.

"what happened?"

Wu Liang asked back.

"General Wu is really lucky. Not only is Madam Sister-in-law generous and well-educated, but she also has the appearance and temperament of a wild goose. I have never seen a woman as beautiful as Madam Sister-in-law in Shanshan."

Prince Chamu said enviously.

Different from the subtlety and rules of the ancient Central Plains, Shanshan Kingdom is not so particular, so it does not shy away from praising others' inner chambers. In their view, this is also a kind of etiquette, not frivolity.

Take the simplest example:

If you want to praise someone in the Central Plains, the other party's response is usually "absurd praise".

And when someone praises someone in the Western Regions, the other party's response is usually "thank you".

This is the difference between the two cultures.

Therefore, Wu Liang didn't think there was anything wrong with Cha Mu's words, but turned his head and asked again: "Is she beautiful? Why didn't I see it?"

"This……"

Chamu's tone faltered when he was asked, and then he said, "It's probably because General Wu already has a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as this young lady by his side, so he doesn't know how lucky he is? Or maybe...General Wu In fact, I asked this question on purpose, to cover up the secret joy in my heart, and to show off to my younger brother invisibly."

"Good understanding!"

Wu Liang slapped him on the shoulder, "Go, find someone to drink!"

……

Two days later, the celebration banquet was held as scheduled.

This time, there is no such battle as last time.

One reason is that almost everyone in the Cao camp knows the relationship between Wu Liang and Boss Cao. No matter what method Wu Liang uses, whoever fights with Wu Liang now will not give Boss Cao face. Naturally, no one will touch this brow ;

The reason why they came here was because the generals of Cao Ying and the generals of Lu Bu Group sat on the left and right sides. Lu Bu may not know much about the people in Cao Ying, and he arranged the order of his own people. Naturally, there is nothing good between them. What's more, even if Cao Ying's generals were dissatisfied, they knew that Lu Bu was the protagonist of this celebration banquet.

The auspicious time has come.

Boss Cao was the last to enter the living room under the attention of the generals, but he did not immediately take the main seat, but waved to the two young people who were relatively in front: "Wu Youcai, Prince Chamu, you two come here. "

"..."

Neither Wu Liang nor Prince Chamu knew what kind of medicine Boss Cao was selling in his gourd, but they could only stand up and come to him, bowed their hands and called "Ming Gong".

?

Everyone in the meeting was also a little confused. They didn't understand what Boss Cao was going to do, and they didn't know who that young man with exotic features was.

"Everyone!"

Boss Cao signaled the two to stand beside him, cleared his throat and invited Prince Chamu to the front, and said seriously, "Before the banquet begins, I must first introduce a guest to you, this is the Shanshan Kingdom far away in the Western Regions. Prince——Prince Chamu. The Shanshan Kingdom wishes to be friends with me forever, so recently they specially sent Prince Chamu to bring gifts to congratulate our army on the great victory of the Eastern Expedition. Come to prove the sincerity of being with me forever!"

"Wow—"

All the soldiers were suddenly in an uproar.

Only Xi Zhi, who was sitting next to the main seat, looked indifferent. Obviously, Boss Cao had already discussed this matter with him, so he was not surprised at all.

This is undoubtedly great good news. Although Boss Cao said it very implicitly, everyone can tell that Prince Chamu is here to celebrate Boss Cao's great victory in the Eastern Expedition. The hostage expressed surrender to Boss Cao.

But there is a flaw in this.

In recent years, Boss Cao's army was either on the Eastern Expedition, or on the way to the Eastern Expedition. How could it have anything to do with the Shanshan Kingdom far away in the Western Regions, let alone make it surrender? It doesn't make sense?

In this sense, between Yanzhou and the Western Regions there is the Si Li Department and Liangzhou, both of which are occupied by strong soldiers. Even if Boss Cao has any ideas, it is absolutely impossible to send troops there. Don't people like Li Jue, Guo Si, Ma Teng, and Han Sui exist?If this is the case, the Sili Department and Liangzhou would have long been in Boss Cao's pocket.

"Everyone!"

Boss Cao gave everyone some time to discuss, and then he yelled again to control the scene, and then said, "It was none other than General Wu who made this happen!"

Boss Cao didn't disclose any details, he just stated the result very concisely.

"Wow—"

Many soldiers were in an uproar again.

The less Boss Cao said, the easier it was for everyone to think a lot. Combined with this unimaginable feat, everyone would only be less able to see through Wu Liang's depth.

at the same time.

Lu Bu also frowned, and looked at the "General Wu" whom he met two days ago but didn't pay attention to.

He had a slight impression of Wu Liang, but it was mainly because he met Hao Meng, a general who had just been embarrassed by Wu Liang, shortly after meeting Wu Liang.

After Hao Meng told him the whole story, Lu Bu had a bad impression of Wu Liang.

However, Yang Wanli is just a small person, and Lu Bu would definitely not confront Cao Ying's people, especially Wu Liang, who seems to have a high military rank, because of such a trivial matter. The boss, therefore, did not take it too seriously.

But now, even if Lu Bu didn't want to pay attention to Wu Liang, he couldn't do it.

Boss Cao showed Wu Liang such a remarkable achievement at this time, no matter whether it was intentional or not, he would immediately steal the limelight that originally belonged to Lu Bu, and the protagonist of this celebration banquet was definitely no longer him.

"..."

Wu Liang has also realized that this is no longer a matter of party struggle or not, but that Boss Cao himself wants to use him to play "the art of controlling people" against Lu Bu.
