Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 229 Please come into the room with my slave and drink some hot tea
"If you don't make a big fuss, the lord will not object to taking a concubine immediately, Lord Cao, it's too late today, I will speak to the lord tomorrow!" Xu Shu said.

Cao Bao thanked him again, and then resigned.

The next day, Xu Shu explained Cao Bao's situation to Feng Yao, saying: "My lord is in Xiapi now, maybe I will lead the army tomorrow, and I don't know when I will be able to return here after this expedition. My lord, I suggest you take advantage of your free time now." , take concubines first, and take care of Cao Bao’s heart, this will be more conducive to the development of Xiapi.”

Feng Yao thought for a while, nodded and said, "The military master is right!"

At this time, Liu Shun suddenly appeared in front of the study door. Seeing Feng Yao was overjoyed, he hurried in and knelt down and said, "My lord, we have found Liu Bei's whereabouts!"

"Where is it?" Feng Yao stood up abruptly and asked anxiously.

"The scouts discovered that Liu Bei had already fled to Qu County in the East China Sea! And because of the generous support of the Mi family, a wealthy businessman in Qu County, Liu Bei recruited another [-] troops to attack Xiapi!" Liu Shun said.

"Okay! This matter is done well. Now that Liu Bei has been found, he must be completely defeated. I have decided that the army will go out in two days!" Feng Yao's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Liu Shun replied loudly: "Yes! My lord! I ordered the scouts to investigate more in the past two days. How many counties in Xuzhou support Liu Bei!"

Feng Yao left the table, patted Liu Shun on the shoulder and said: "Liu Shun, work hard, after Liu Bei is destroyed, if you want, you can take a county!"

"Thank you, my lord, but Liu Shun knows that he is not a prefect, so he is willing to follow the lord and collect more information for the lord!" Liu Shun said.

Feng Yao patted Liu Shun's shoulder again, and whispered in Liu Shun's ear: "If you find out that among the remaining county magistrates in Xuzhou, there are those who secretly support Liu Bei, you might as well assassinate them first!"

Liu Shun nodded vigorously, and bowed respectfully: "This subordinate understands, this subordinate will leave!"

Feng Yao nodded, and after Liu Shun withdrew, he immediately called Yang Wu: "Hurry up and send the order, the army will set off in two days, so all the troops should get ready immediately!"

Yang Wu took the order and left!

"My lord! I don't know one thing. Liu Bei has only [-] troops in the East China Sea. Why did my lord want to conquer?" Xu Shu asked.

Feng Yao smiled, now that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not well-known, it is not surprising for Xu Shu to ask such a question.

"Yuan Zhi, Liu Bei's sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are enemies of ten thousand people. Lu Fan has no strong generals. I am worried that he will lose. Besides, Liu Bei will not be eliminated for a day. Maybe they will rebel again!" Feng Yao said.

"So that's it! This subordinate understands!" Xu Shu stared at Feng Yao thoughtfully, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Feng Yao thought about it for a while, but he was still a little worried, so he called another entourage, and said, "Leave immediately, hurry to the East China Sea, and tell Governor Lu and Captain Wei not to attack, just hold the city, everything Let’s talk about it after my leader arrives!”

Follow the orders and leave immediately.

Afterwards, Feng Yao was promoted to the hall to discuss matters, arranged for the expedition, and ordered all the generals to retreat, and then he only brought Xu Chu, Yang Wu and ten of his entourage to the county mansion.

There are only two days left before the expedition. Feng Yao came to the county mansion to meet his concubine Cao Yanran. For Cao Yanran, a beautiful and talented woman who is famous in Xiapi City, it would be a lie to say that she is not attracted to her. Worried about affecting the morale of the army, so Feng Yao endured it, and simply did not go to see Cao Yanran, so as not to be seduced by Cao Yanran's beauty after the meeting, and not care about business affairs.

Before reaching the county mansion, Feng Yao was imagining Cao Yanran's appearance in his mind, and of course he would guess from Cao Bao's appearance.

"What will it be like? Lingqi, Yinglian, and Shangxiang all know martial arts. Cao Yanran was born as a general, but she doesn't know martial arts at all. I heard that she is proficient in everything..."

It is only a street away from the state capital to the county capital. Feng Yao is dressed as a general, with swords on his left and right waists, one long and one short, wearing shiny fish scale armor, and a black-faced red-bottomed cloak Behind him is Xu Chu, who is big and round, and Yang Wu, who is also in armor.

Ten personal followers followed closely on both sides and guarded carefully.

Wherever they passed, the local people moved aside in awe, and saluted Feng Yao from a distance. Although Feng Yao didn't know these people, he still nodded slightly.

Knowing that Feng Yao was coming, Cao Bao was overjoyed, and immediately greeted him out of the mansion, opened the middle door wide, and welcomed Feng Yao into the mansion.

"My lord!" Although Cao Bao guessed Feng Yao's intention, he didn't dare to say it clearly, and followed Feng Yao's side and shouted softly.

Feng Yao ordered Cao Bao to move away from the left and right, and said with a bow: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law is going to go to war soon, so today I am here to see my concubine!"

Cao Bao said happily: "Yanran is in the backyard, my son-in-law, please come with me!"

Before stepping into the backyard, there was a burst of melodious piano sound. Feng Yao was refreshed and stopped to listen. The piano sound was sometimes euphemistic and sometimes unrestrained. Mercedes!

"Hehehe! My son-in-law, the person who plays the piano is the little girl Yanran!" Cao Bao stroked his beard and smiled, with pride in his eyes. Obviously, in Cao Bao's eyes, his daughter's piano skills are enough to make him proud.

Feng Yao's eyes brightened, and he hurried forward. As Feng Yao approached, the sound of the piano gradually became a little messy, and finally stopped abruptly with a bang.

A beautiful servant girl poked her head out of the door, shrank back in a hurry, and quickly helped a young girl out. The girl was about fifteen years old, her eyes were like autumn water, her face was fat, and her figure was extremely beautiful. Temperament!
"My son-in-law, this is my daughter Yanran!" Cao Bao said.

After Cao Yanran glanced at Feng Yao from a distance, she hurried over, gave a salute, and called Cao Bao: "Father!"

Cao Bao chuckled, took Feng Yao's hand with one hand, and Cao Yanran's hand with the other, and said, "Daughter, he is your husband, Master Feng of Yuzhou!"

"I've seen my husband!" Although Cao Yanran blushed, she still smiled slightly without the slightest twitch, and saluted Feng Yao again.

Feng Yao nodded, and said in his heart: "This woman is really extraordinary, as my concubine, she really deserves this title!"

With Feng Yao's current status, three wives and four concubines are taken for granted. The three wives are already there, but the quota for the fourth concubine has been vacant. The quota has not been given out.

Cao Bao smiled again at this time: "Son-in-law, daughter, let's talk first, there are still business matters in my house!" After speaking, he meaningfully put the hands of the two together, turned and left.

Feng Yao felt that the hold in his hand was like gentle jade, so he was not willing to let go, but he kept holding Cao Yanran's hand relentlessly.

"Husband, it's very windy here, don't catch a cold, please come into the room with my servant and drink some hot tea!" Cao Yanran said softly.

"Okay!" Feng Yao reluctantly let go of Cao Yanran's hand and nodded.

The beautiful maid standing behind Cao Yanran also looked at Feng Yao curiously, showing a very excited and joyful smile from time to time. Feng Yao looked at himself and burst out laughing. This armor was indeed a bit out of tune with the current atmosphere.

"Come here, help me take off this armor!" Feng Yao said to the beautiful servant girl with a smile as soon as he entered the room.
