Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 11 Fooling Cai Yan
  Cai Yan and Cao Cao were old acquaintances, and occasionally they would sit together and talk about poetry and poetry. After hearing Cao Cao's name, he was no longer so afraid.

She opened a small corner of the car window, frowned, and asked angrily: "Today is my wedding day, why do I need Brother Mengde to rescue me."

Come on, at your age, you are almost as good as someone else's daughter, and even Brother Meng De, you are not afraid of calling yourself old, and you don't know what this talented woman is thinking.

Zhang Wu cupped his hands expressionlessly. Since he was making up a lie, he had to finish it: "My lord got the news that Wei Zhongdao from Hedong is a consumptive ghost. He will return to the west soon. The lady married him and became a widow. , it’s better to make plans early.”

"Brother Meng De insulted my reputation like this!" Seeing that Cai Yan was about to hit his head against the wooden railing of the carriage, Zhang Wu quickly interrupted.

"Etc., etc!"

Zhang Wu had long heard that women in the Han Dynasty were strong-willed. He was really afraid that Cai Yan would suddenly lose his mind. He was thinking of how to quickly change the topic. When he turned his eyes, he saw the little maid guarding Cai Yan.

Xia Zhu was frightened, but her instinct to protect her master did not allow her to retreat. She could only hold on with trembling teeth, hoping that this murderous demon would let their poor master and servant go.

Zhang Wu had some concerns and then pointed at Xia Zhu: "Miss Cai Yan, do you need to kill this maid to silence her?"

"you dare!"

"If you don't shout or call me, I will keep your master and servant safe, but..."

Zhang Wu deliberately looked embarrassed, but Cai Yan was fooled, and he hesitated and lost his momentum.

It was also the first time for Cai Yan to see such a terrible military chaos. His strength just now was all based on his strength. Now that the strength has passed, he is naturally frightened.

"Okay then, just take me to see Brother Meng De."

On the other side, Cao Cao was still thinking about why Zhang Wu had been gone for so long, and was about to send someone to have a look. When he returned to the camp, he was so frightened that his eyes almost fell out.

In his camp, Zhang Wu lowered his head and stood aside, and it became rare for him to become quiet.

What's going on with those two women in the middle of the camp!

If it were an ordinary woman, Cao Cao would have turned a blind eye and pretended not to have seen it. After all, young people are inevitably more angry. He was married when he was Zhang Wu's age, and she was his favorite general. In terms of face, Just get by.

But he recognizes this woman!

The only daughter of Cai Yong, a great scholar of the time, Cai Yan, the most talented woman in the capital!

Cao Cao only felt his scalp numb, and a surge of anger rushed to Tianling Gai.

"Brother Meng De! Don't you need to give me an explanation?"

"Me? What did Zhao Ji want me to explain?"

Zhang Wu jumped out quickly: "My lord, didn't you say it? Wei Zhongdao is a sick young man. Miss Cai Yan will be a widow after she gets married. Did you ask me to kidnap her back?"

If Cao Cao still doesn't understand what happened by this time, then he is no longer worthy of being a hero in troubled times.

This kid must have mistaken the wedding team for Lu Bu. After making a joke, he simply robbed the wedding team without doing anything else, and now he comes here to wipe his own ass!
  But Cao Cao said he couldn't take the big pot.

It's no big deal to offend a Hedong Wei family. There are so many aristocratic families in the world. If this family doesn't support Cao Mengde, others will naturally support him. But this girl is the daughter of the great scholar Cai Yong. Once the news spreads, Cao Cao's reputation will be completely ruined. How can those self-proclaimed scholars turn to him?
  Without talents, is it possible to pacify the world with a few stragglers?

"Brother Meng De! What else do you have to say!"

Zhang Wu snickered on the side. He found that Cai Yan, this little girl, was a bit interesting. She was a familiar person.

Mingming was so scared just now that her face turned pale, but after seeing Cao Cao, who was familiar with her, she turned into a proud little rooster again.

When Cao Cao saw the culprit still laughing heartlessly, his lungs almost exploded with anger.     “Zhaoji, I.”

"Brother Meng De's intention is Zhaoji's heart, but marriage matters should follow the orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker. Since I have promised Wei Zhongdao, I will be his wife, whether he lives or dies, that's all. Zhaoji's life, now you order me to be sent to the Wei clan in Hedong, and I will pretend that nothing happened. Bandits robbed the convoy halfway, and it was your subordinates who happened to save me."

Cai Yan was very smart, and she figured out the key to the problem right away.

Cao Cao immediately wanted to agree, but someone refused.

Zhang Wu slammed the table and jumped up: "No! There is absolutely no reason to put back the people I kidnapped!"

"General, what are your intentions?"

Looking at Cao Cao's bitter face, Zhang Wu also knew that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to change the blame: "Cai Yan, right? Let me ask you, which is more important, the matchmaker's words are more important, or the emperor's golden words. "

"The master of heaven and earth, the emperor is naturally the greatest."

"What if the emperor doesn't allow you to marry Wei Zhongdao?"

"The emperor?" Cai Yan smiled bitterly: "How dare you disturb the emperor with such a trivial matter as the marriage of a common girl."

"I'm telling you, the emperor has promised you to me."

Cai Yan didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. This young man was so elegant and handsome, how could he be a scoundrel?

"When did the emperor betroth me to you?"

Zhang Wu patted his chest: "You can wait here with peace of mind. I will come back with the imperial edict in two days."

The current emperor is just a plaything. If Zhang Wu can snatch him back from Dong Zhuo, he will have no problem asking for an imperial edict. Even if he can't be rescued, Dong Zhuo will naturally compromise when he is killed and his courage is broken.

What to write in the imperial edict at that time is not a matter of Dong Pangpang's words.

Cai Yan spat softly: "Don't be ashamed to brag."

"You girl, you are so ignorant. What's the benefit of marrying that sick man Wei Zhongdao? I'm saving you."

Cao Cao originally wanted to say something, but after looking at Zhang Wu's serious eyes, he simply swallowed his words.

He already had many wives and concubines. Needless to say, Zhang Wu must have fallen in love with Cai Yan. Otherwise, with his unstinting temperament, what else would he care about?
  The wedding car has been robbed, and Lao Shizi's imperial edict is still needed.

He is acting so tough now just because he hasn't realized that he has fallen in love with the girl in front of him, so he wants to preserve her reputation.

Young is so good.

If you don't waste your youth in romance, maybe it will become a good story by then.

"Zhao Ji, there's a lot of war and chaos outside right now. Even if I want to send you to Hedong, I don't know what might happen to you, so why not just rest here for two days."

Cao Cao finally made the final decision, and when Cai Yan wanted to say more, he had already left the camp.

Cao Cao could no longer remember how many times he had chosen to compromise after Zhang Wu appeared.

He only knew that if he hadn't favored Zhang Wu as a junior, this itchy boy would have been killed by him long ago. After all, he himself was not a soft-hearted person.

There must be a lot of inconveniences for having a pair of women in the military camp. Naturally, Zhang Wu couldn't sleep in his own tent, so he simply stopped sleeping and stayed in front of the tent to practice shooting at night.
