I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 24

Cai Yong's heart was too chaotic, and there was some blank space.

In the morning, after returning from lectures in a happy mood, I heard the news of a bolt from the blue: when the emperor Dong Zhuo came to visit, but he was not there, he kidnapped his precious daughter!

Even if the family member said that the Taiwei took the young lady out together, in Cai Yong's ears, what is the difference between this and kidnapping?
He hurriedly took people to look for him as if he was going crazy, feeling extremely hopeless and helpless along the way, thinking of that ferocious Xiliang bastard, coveting his daughter's beauty... His heart was broken!
He even thought about how to die with Dong thief.

Then at the door of this restaurant, I bumped into Li Ru.Before Li Ru could enter, his old father rushed in like a mad cow...

"Cai Zuozhong Lang?..." Seeing Cai Yong coming in, Dong Zhuo was also a little flustered: just now he chatted very speculatively with Cai Yan, and he unconsciously brought out some past life habits, flirting with each other.

It's too embarrassing to flirt with a girl and let my dad see it.

Even the murderous Dong Zhuo is embarrassingly digging out three rooms and two halls with his feet.

Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly saw Cai Yan on the opposite side with angry almond eyes, and his white and tender hands on the table were clenched into fists.Old Dong's eyes rolled instantly, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"What is Cai Zuozhonglang talking about? My niece just explained the profound things in simple terms and quoted the scriptures, which is not inferior to the great Confucians in the court. The old man was fascinated by what he heard and benefited a lot. How could Bo Xi belittle my niece like this?"

He deliberately emphasized the four words of 'deeply explaining in a simple way'.

"Nephew, niece?..." Cai Yong's mind is very healthy, the focus is not on those four words, but raised his head with a confused face.

"Father and the Taiwei have a friendship, and the Taiwei condescends to recognize his daughter as a nephew, is there anything wrong?" Sure enough, Cai Yan then spoke coldly.

She is not ordinary, she is very confident, and she has taken up the burden of the family at the age of nine.

As for Cai Yong... how should I put it, he is indeed a great Confucian, and the official is also a good official, but as a father, he treats his daughter very badly.

"Zhao Ji..." Hearing his daughter speak for Dong Zhuo like this, Cai Yong was heartbroken, and he was stupefied: Daughter, it's fine if your aesthetic level is depraved, why have you distorted your three views?
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it out of my mouth.

Even in the Han Dynasty, where filial piety was highly valued—although his old father was unqualified, at least he loved his daughter very much.

As a result, the relationship between father and daughter is inevitably somewhat unbalanced.

Seeing that this trick really worked, Old Dong stopped hiding it, and added fuel to the fire with a smile: "Mr. Cai Zuozhong doesn't have to be self-effacing. I just had a good talk with my niece. I have decided to ask my niece to help me draft reforms in Luoyang." The charter of the three cities."

"Reform the three cities of Luoyang?" Cai Yong, who was at a loss, became even more puzzled.

Out of the instinct of an old father, he subconsciously decided to keep his daughter away from this murderous demon king: "Taiwei, my daughter has only read some books and talked about military affairs on paper. How can it ruin the Taiwei's political affairs?"

"Huh?..." Old Dong's eyebrows were raised now, seeing that Cai Yan was eager to try, he threatened Cai Yong confidently and said, "Cai Zuozhonglang means that the old man is old and dim-witted, and doesn't know people well?"

"No, no, no..." When he took office, Cai Yong was coerced by Xiliang iron cavalry, and he was deeply afraid of the old Dong's power.

But... you can't push your daughter into the fire pit!
Fortunately, he was also quick-witted, and after a flash of inspiration, he said in panic: "Taiwei, my daughter has a marriage contract, and she will marry into Hedong Wei's family soon... Let the old man do it for me to reform the regulations of the three cities of Luoyang."

To sacrifice himself for a daughter is the last stubbornness of an old father.

Even though, he knew that he would be ridiculed by the world and his reputation would be ruined.

However, it's okay not to mention this matter, Cai Yan, who was a little angry at first, suddenly became sad when he mentioned it.Looking out of the window in a daze, the light in her bright eyes suddenly disappeared.

"Marriage is an important matter, this is really a coincidence..." Old Dong Wenyan also echoed, stroking his beard as if it seemed difficult to handle.

When Cai Yan heard him speak, she looked over subconsciously, but her gaze became even darker.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, old Dong suddenly took the case and was furious: "Cai Zuozhonglang means that the old man's proposal of government reform is an official matter, and it is not as private as your marrying a daughter?"

"Which is more important, don't you have no idea in your heart?...Don't you know that you are loyal to the monarch and the country, and put the public first before the private!"

"Or, you look down on the old man at all!"

As soon as the words fell, the guards behind Li Ru immediately stepped forward, ready to pull the old thing down and chop it into dumpling stuffing as soon as Old Dong said a word.

"Humble, I don't dare to be humble, my subordinates really don't have such thoughts..." Cai Yong's face turned pale with fright in an instant, facing the atmosphere filled with murderous intent, he no longer had the courage to ignore death as if he had returned home after half his life was ups and downs.

He had already lost his beloved wife and did not want to lose his beloved daughter again.

Seeing this, Cai Yan also hurriedly got up, wanting to kneel down with her father to beg Dong Zhuo together.But as soon as he moved his body, he saw the angry old Dong turn his head and blinked quickly to himself.

Very cunning.

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment.

Looking at Old Dong's still angry face, he thought that the look just now was just his own hallucination.

Then... She was not happy: no matter what, Cai Yong was also her beloved father, father and daughter united in heart, both honored and humiliated.

Even if she guessed that Old Dong was standing up for her, but teasing her old father like this...

She couldn't help but glared at Old Dong angrily, and then pretended to bow down in fear: "Uncle Mo Nu, niece... just follow your orders."

Of course Cai Yong, who was bowing his head to the ground, couldn't see the eyebrows between the two, but Li Ru, who was twirling his beard, saw it, and was so shocked that he pulled a broken beard at that time: This, the relationship between these two people...is not quite right!

She, she dared to stare at the captain?
Then, Old Dong actually actively cooperated with the performance, and immediately turned his anger into joy and said: "That's right... It's my niece who understands the general situation and takes care of the overall situation. Cai Zuozhong Lang also quickly invited me, the old man was in a hurry just now, I hope you forgive me."

As he spoke, he helped Cai Yong up with his own hands, and said, "As for the side east of the river... As far as I know, the Baibo thieves have been making a lot of noise recently, and they are likely to go south. For the sake of my niece's safety, let's not talk about the marriage contract. Worry, let the old man talk about the Wei family."

At most half a year, Wei Zhongdao would kick his legs, and Cai Yan's engagement would naturally be voided.

Hearing that the Baibo bandits might go south to Hedong, Cai Yong was also grateful when he looked at Dong Zhuo: "Thank you Taiwei, my subordinates have also heard about the incident of Baibo bandits making trouble. Originally, I also planned to let Zhao Ji stay at night for another two years, but at the Wei family's place." The urging is too urgent, and it is difficult for the subordinates to refuse..."

Having said that, Li Ru on the side was a little impatient, coughed and stepped forward and said: "Zuo Zhonglang, Miss Cai, it's past noon, let's have a light meal before leaving?"

The matter was urgent and confidential, and after chasing him for such a long time in the morning, he could no longer care whether he would upset Dong Zhuo.

Of course Cai Yong and Cai Yan understood the meaning of chasing away the guest, so he bowed again and said goodbye.

Old Dong was not happy.

Sending off the two father and daughter warmly, and explaining that they would often come to the Taiwei Mansion to discuss the details of the reform, then turned around and glared at Li Rudao: "Wenyou, you are getting bolder and bolder, you dare to make decisions in front of the old man , Do you feel that the old man is too old to lift a knife?"

"Excuse me, Lieutenant!" Li Ru calmed down, and after driving the guards out, he knelt down on the wooden board with a 'plop': "Something happened last night!"

At the moment, I quickly reported the matter, and the more I talked, the more anxious I became.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but his face sank after hearing this, and he sat back to his original position and picked up the dagger on the desk!
Li Ru's eyebrows moved for a moment, but he bowed to the ground and dared not move.

Afterwards, old Dong swiftly made another copycat version of Roujiamo, handed it to Li Ru and said, "Try it."

"Try it?"

"Well, how about a taste?"

"..."

In an instant, Li Ru wanted to snatch the dagger from Dong Zhuo's hand, beat the fat man to death, and then commit suicide: "Taiwei, we have been found out about our theft of the imperial tomb, why are you still like this..."

"So what?"

"Uh... so calm, with the demeanor of Mount Tai collapsing in front of it and not changing color."
