At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 44 This Cao Ren is different

Xu Ding also made a lot of determination when he rejected Zhou Qi.

"There are always thousand-mile horses, but Bole does not often have one. Therefore, although there are famous horses, they are only humiliated by slaves, and they die in parallel in the stables. They are not called thousand-mile horses."

When Xu Ding heard this, the resentment he had been feeling frustrated all year round almost burst out.

When Zhou Qi sent out the invitation, he wished he could abandon everything and follow Zhou Qi to create a future.

This may also be the only chance for the two brothers to get ahead.

At least under the current social system, if there is no chaos in the world and no princes rise together, this is definitely the only chance for the two of them.

But Xu Ding is not Xu Chu after all, there are too many things to consider.

The world is gradually showing chaos, and there are many things that need to be dealt with in the clan. Without Xu Ding's help in management and Xu Chu's force to deter, this seemingly peach blossom-style manor economic model is very likely to collapse quickly.

If Zhou Qi is the Captain of Sili, Xu Ding will follow him no matter what.

It's a pity that Zhou Qi is just a fugitive now. Even if he can get Yang Qiu's respect, he is no more than a minor official under him.

It is obviously unacceptable for the Xu brothers to abandon everything and follow Zhou Qi who has such an identity.

It cannot be said that they are snobbish, it can only be said that human nature should be like this.

What's more, the battles in the court are turbulent. The Xu brothers have no foundation in the court, and they will be shattered into pieces if they are not careful.

Although they respected Zhou Qi and wanted to gain fame, they were unwilling to take such a big risk.

They are not people who are afraid of death, but the future of the clan is still shouldered by the two of them. If they give up their bodies easily, they will be sorry for the tens of thousands of people in the clan.

After Xu Chu heard his brother's words, he slowly calmed down from his excitement, and then looked at Zhou Qi apologetically.

Zhou Qi smiled.

In fact, he didn't have much hope of recruiting the Xu brothers during his trip, at least with his current status and status, it was not enough for the two brothers to risk their lives to follow them.

The reason why he decided to send out the invitation was because Zhou Qi really had no one available.

Compared with Peiguo, Luoyang is no different from a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. If Zhou Qi really wants to go there and make a breakthrough, he must make some preparations in advance.

Before meeting Xu Chu, Zhou Qi thought that Xiang Hong was very brave and might not be as good as the first-rate military generals of the Three Kingdoms period, but he should not be much different.

But after actually getting in touch with Xu Chu, Zhou Qi realized that his previous thinking was completely wrong.

Xiang Hong once said frankly that if he and Xu Chu were to fight head-on, he would probably be beheaded before Sanhe.

It's not that Xiang Hong is not good at martial arts, but that Xu Chu is too powerful.

Not to mention other things, just Xu Chu's huge strength, which can pull an ox backward for a hundred steps, is rare in the world. Facing such a fierce person, ordinary people would really die if they bumped or touched.

It was precisely after seeing the top military force during the Three Kingdoms period that Zhou Qi was so eager to get Xu Chu's help.

But obviously, Zhou Qi's expectations came to nothing.

Zhou Qi did not feel dissatisfied because of this. Instead, he bowed and said: "Brother Gao Yi, I am willing to live here in order to protect the clan. Qi bows down!"

"Tap Tap!"

With the first ray of dawn in the morning, Zhou Qi and Xiang Hong rushed towards Cao Cao's house.

The Cao clan is very powerful in Qiao County, among which the Cao Cao and Cao Ren families are the most powerful. Needless to say, the Cao Cao family, Cao Ren's grandfather and father also held important positions in the court, and the family is quite prominent.

Cao Cao's family owns a mansion inside the city, as well as a manor and large fields outside the city.

Zhou Qi and Xiang Hong did not dare to go into the city. After finding out the location of Cao Cao's manor outside the city, they rode away directly.

Since they set off overnight, when they arrived at Cao Cao's manor outside the city, the sky had just turned white.

At this time, most people just got up and haven't gone out yet, even because they don't eat breakfast, many families haven't got up yet.

The two were on their way at this time, and almost no one saw them.

"Shut up!"

They reined in the reins, turned off their horses and looked at the vermilion tall mansion in front of them, with serious expressions on their faces.

Zhou Qi stepped forward and lightly knocked on the door knocker.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a crisp knock on the door, and soon two robust porters came to open the door.

At first they were a little impatient when they saw Zhou Qi and the two of them, but when they saw the horses behind them clearly, their expressions changed slightly.

The leader said with some vigilance: "Why is the master's horse in your hands?"

Zhou Qi smiled and said: "To be honest, this horse was a gift from Brother Mengde. We were passing through Qiao County and came here specifically to return it."

The attitude of the two gatekeepers improved a lot when they heard the words, and one of them said: "The strong man, please wait a moment, we will go to inform the steward."

The two of them had no doubts about Zhou Qi's words.

The little master of their family likes to make friends with the world's heroes, treats money like dung, and can definitely do such things as gifting others precious mounts.

But they are just ordinary concierges after all.

In a family with strict rules like the Cao family, the two dared not let anyone in without the permission of the family steward.

"It's work!"

Not long after, a man in his 40s approached.

After he saw Zhou Qi and the horses behind him, he hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "You two distinguished guests, please come in quickly."

The steward knew Cao Cao better than the two concierges.

Although Cao Cao likes to make friends and is very generous, he is not the stupid son of a landlord's family, and he is willing to make friends with anyone.

Especially the white war horse, which Cao Cao himself liked very much. If he hadn't really appreciated the young man in front of him, he would never have given such a precious thing away.

After warmly inviting the two into the courtyard, the steward asked, "I don't know where my master is now?"

Zhou Qi replied: "Brother Meng De and Brother Yuan Rang hadn't left when we left Xiang County, so I don't know where they are now."

The steward nodded and said: "Since the two are guests of the master, as an old servant at home, I am naturally not qualified to entertain you. Please take a break, and I will report to Mr. Ren."

Zhou Qi's heart moved slightly, and he thought to himself: "The benevolent son that the steward talks about is probably Cao Cao's brother Cao Ren."

as predicted.

Not long after, the door of the room was kicked open, and a figure led a dozen burly men with sharp knives and stormed in aggressively.

The man shouted angrily: "Where is the thief who stole my brother's beloved horse and dared to come to my Cao Mansion to deceive me! You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me, Cao Ren!"

Zhou Qi looked around hastily, but when he saw the leader, he was a little stunned, and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: "This Cao Ren is a bit different from the General Cao Wei in my impression."

　The Xu brothers did not go to the protagonist, so some brothers would feel unhappy?This book is roughly in this style. With the background and status of the protagonist, it is basically impossible to obtain the allegiance of powerful celebrities in the early and mid-term, so we can only make friends first.
