Start with Blue Silver Grass

Chapter 613 Banquet
"Jizhou-Changshan Kingdom", outside Shiyi County.

Lin Yi was riding on the back of the snow-white divine horse, listening to the brisk sound of horse hooves gradually approaching, he turned away from browsing the scenery beside the road, looked at the person coming, waved his hand to the side, and greeted with a smile:
"Brother Meng De, please come and say hello?"

"Hahaha--"

The visitor smiled before he said anything. Although the figure on horseback was not tall, he had a heroic spirit. Before he got close, he laughed loudly and said: "Thank you for your concern, brother, I am very kind to you—— !”

As he spoke, the horse on which the visitor was riding passed Dian Wei, Taishi Ci and others who were getting out of the way, and came to Lin Yi's side to keep pace with him. He turned sideways and greeted warmly:

"My dear brother, is it going well for you to go to the grassland?"

More than a month ago, when the grassland was heavily snowed and the roads were closed, [Qinglin Traveling Merchants] took unconventional actions and mobilized supplies to be transported to the mutual market place established in Daijun and Shanggujun in "Youzhou", which caused a lot of confusion. Attention from caring people.

At that time, the [Qinglin Traveling Merchant] said to the outside world that he took advantage of the bad weather to go to the grassland to sell a batch of hot-selling goods at a high price, and on the way to buy some high-quality war horses and other items that the grassland was usually unwilling to sell in large quantities.

The outside world has no comment on whether this statement is true or false. [Qinglin Traveling Merchant] The people in the group didn't care, anyway, they recognized this rhetoric.

Faced with Cao Cao's half-concerned and half-probing words, Lin Yi ignored the probing part and responded with a light smile: "Fortunately, I have achieved the goal I set before leaving here."

"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he continued as if unintentionally: "Can you tell Brother Wei? Brother Wei is very curious about the grassland -"

Lin Yi turned around when he heard the sound and looked at Cao Cao. Cao Cao's eyes were clear and calm.

"Ha ha--"

Suddenly he chuckled, and the smile on Lin Yi's face became a little brighter. He nodded and said, "It's all right~"

As soon as the sound fell, Lin Yi shook the reins in his hands and galloped forward on his horse. From a distance, he left a sentence: "This is not the place to talk. Yi is waiting for Brother Meng De to drive away at the manor. When the time comes, he will Let’s drink and talk freely with my brother——!!!”

Watching Lin Yi go away, Cao Cao subconsciously pulled the reins in his hands, slowing down the speed of his horse, allowing Dian Wei and other guards to speed past him and chase Lin Yi in front.

At this moment, several figures riding good horses came to Cao Cao, and one of them shouted in a low voice: "Meng De——"

"Yuan Rang~" Cao Cao did not look back, still looking ahead on the road, looking at the neat and orderly marching team, and asked softly: "Do you think I should go to Lin Mingxuan's manor?"

"Mengde~" The person who spoke before pondered for a moment, and did not directly give his opinion. Instead, he answered the question: "The strength of Dianwei is superior to mine, and Wu Anguo and Taishi Ci are not superior to me either." Down……"

Listening to Xiahou Dun's words, Cao Cao's face remained motionless and his eyes were deep, making it impossible to see through what he was thinking.

"Hehehe-"

Suddenly, Cao Cao laughed, looked around at the brothers and sisters around him, and saw their somewhat solemn expressions, and said calmly: "Why do you look like this? My brother Mingxuan's manor is not Chu. In the army camp, a certain Cao Mengde is not the great ancestor, so what if he goes to a banquet?"

After saying that, just like Lin Yi before, he flicked the reins and rode towards the team with only their backs left in front.

On the spot, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and others looked at each other in shock. When they saw Cao Cao running away, they quickly whipped their horses and drove them forward.

On the way, Cao Cao, who was looking at the familiar prosperous scenes on both sides of the road and keeping a certain distance from the teams in front and behind him, his smiling face became silent, and his eyes were no longer deep, but showed a bit of complexity uncharacteristically. color.

It is now January of the seventh year of Guanghe. Although the "Jizhou-Changshan Kingdom" in the north is not like the grassland where there is still heavy snowfall and biting cold wind, it has not completely emerged from the cold winter.

However, west of Shiyi County, on both sides of the official road leading to the foot of Jingxing Mountain, the winter wheat planted at the end of September and early October last year was lush and green, full of vitality, which made people feel happy when they saw it.

Cao Cao, who came all the way from the divine capital "Luoyang", had seen very few scenes like this!
With a heavy heart, an elegant-looking manor suddenly appeared in his field of vision, causing Cao Cao to quickly collect his thoughts and instantly return to his original appearance.

……

When Cao Cao led Xiahou Dun and others into Lin Yi's manor, a sumptuous banquet had already been arranged.

First, he introduced Cao Cao to the people accompanying him at the banquet, and then got to know several brothers from the clan around Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao and others were seated, Lin Yi, who was sitting high on the throne, raised the wine cup in his hand, smiled at the people around him and said, "Come here, Brother Meng De is here to make this garden full of glory. Everyone, please drink." Win—!”

"Alas -" Upon hearing this, Cao Cao hurriedly picked up the wine baron in front of him with both hands, and then said with a wry smile to Lin Yi: "What you said is just to shame the foolish brother. How can you be so virtuous..."

"Brother Meng De, you are too modest~" Lin Yi raised his head and drank the wine from the glass. He placed the wine cup on the table in front of him, and a maid beside him held a wine flask and began to pour the wine.Cao Cao on the opposite side also quickly drank down the wine in his hand.

Lin Yi: "It should be noted that in the world of Han Dynasty, Brother Meng De is the first and only one who doesn't mind dealing with Lin Yi, a businessman full of copper odor..."

"Based on this alone, Brother Meng De is here with Lin Yi~" Lin Yi raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger and touched his heart, and said with a smile: "It's different from other mediocre people in this world~"

Hearing this, Cao Cao picked up the wine cup that was filled with wine again, lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the clear wine, and said: "Mr. Qinglin set up a mutual market in the north, and used merchants' methods to eliminate border wars, which is now the case in the world. Who doesn’t know the name of the wise brother? It’s just by chance that the wise men in the world failed to meet the wise brother, that’s all——”

"As for Brother Fool~" Cao Cao paused, drank the wine in his hand, and then continued: "He is just a prodigal who hangs around the streets of Luoyang all day long. He should not be praised as a wise brother-"

"Alas -" Lin Yi waved his hand, interrupting Cao Cao's self-effacement, and said: "Yi heard that Xu Zijiang's "Yuedan Comment" was said by the world, and he was said to be a "treacherous traitor in peaceful times and a hero in troubled times."

"The two brothers, Xu Zijiang, are famous soul-refining masters in the world. They are particularly good at fortune-telling. Their comments on Brother Meng De are naturally pertinent."

Listening to Lin Yi's words, Cao Cao felt a little bit regretful about asking Xu Zijiang to comment on him for the first time.

As a soul monk at the second level of soul refining, as soon as Cao Cao entered the banquet, he discovered that not only Dian Wei and others sitting opposite were extremely powerful, but even the guards guarding in the distance were full of breath. Introverted, with a faint hint of powerful power.

What shocked Cao Cao even more was that the guards were so connected that they seemed to be able to form a whole at any time.

Cao Cao had only seen this kind of performance in the soldiers of Duan Jiao, one of the "Liangzhou Sanming" during the "Luoyang" period.

Obviously, the guards in Lin Mingxuan's manor are all elite soldiers who have spent their lives in hundreds of battles, tempering the existence of military formation clouds!
The most important thing is that when we met on the roadside before, these people did not show these signs!

It wasn't until they entered Qinglin Manor that all of this was revealed in Cao Cao's eyes!
　Sorry, I'm late. The dialogue between characters in the late Han Dynasty is a bit confusing -_-||
　　Finally, good night~
