Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"I can understand what you have done in Luoyang City in order to reverse Zhang Changshi's reputation. But if Zhang Yan and you mobilize such a large-scale labor force without thinking like before, the grain of the Han Dynasty will It will be consumed by you alone!"

"What, you said to return the money for helping you transport food..."

"What a joke! I, the fourth generation and the third son of the Yuan family, still worry about a nouveau riche like you?!"

Seemingly giving Zhang Yan a disdainful look, Yuan Shu walked towards the distance with the wine bottle in hand without looking back.And Zhang Yan stayed in that corner at the moment, as if he was a little amused by Yuan Shu's behavior, but he silently thanked the other party in his heart for the help Wei Xian and others made behind the scenes when he left Luoyang. .

When he returned in the daytime today, he heard from Wei Xian that the food price in Luoyang City had risen, and he naturally realized that there were many dangerous omissions in his previous behavior of mobilizing tens of thousands of migrant workers.It was only after he got to know it in detail that he discovered that his friend Yuan Shu had quietly used the Yuan family's contacts to mobilize a large amount of food from Xuzhou for emergency, which prevented his project from falling into the embarrassing situation of being out of food and shutting down.

He toasted again and thanked Yuan Shu in his heart. Zhang Yan secretly planned to help his former good brother a lot after he went to Lujiang in the future.At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh, if the other party's character was a little more straightforward, the relationship between the two might be better than Zhang Yan's current relationship with Cao Cao.

"Congratulations, Demao... well, you..."

……

"Ugh."

A familiar voice came along with a burst of sighs. Zhang Yan looked back in surprise, only to see a man with a white face holding a wine bottle and looking at him helplessly.There was a little sourness in that expression, a little entanglement, and a faint envy hidden in the deepest place.

"Why, Meng De, why do you look so bad?"

Seeing his good brother's rather complicated expression, Zhang Yan couldn't help asking.

Ever since he saw his good brother Cao Cao at the foot of Taiyuan City for the last time that day, Cao Cao seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, and had not appeared in Zhang Yan's field of vision for a long, long time.

Although he didn't know why Cao Cao didn't choose to meet him, Zhang Yan only thought it was the other person's physical discomfort, and didn't think about other places.

But now seeing that Cao Cao was still hesitant to talk to him at the banquet, Zhang Yan suddenly felt that this man was hiding something serious from him.

"Meng De, we are good brothers, what can't be said between brothers?"

After comforting the other party, Zhang Yan saw that Cao Cao still had no intention of speaking, so he took the initiative to ask the other party.Hearing Zhang Yan's question at this time, Cao Cao opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything else for a long while, but just blessed Zhang Yan again, and the sour envy in the words of blessing seemed to overflow. Zhang Yan felt that the whole person became a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, congratulations, Demao."

"You... oh."

With a wry smile, he drank the strong wine in the wine bottle, Cao Cao took a deep breath, and at the same time turned his whole body to the direction outside the window, just looking at the bright moonlight in the distance.It wasn't until the alcohol in his throat completely dissipated that he turned around and stared into Zhang Yan's eyes.

Only this time, Zhang Yan was confused when he opened his mouth.

"Brother you lied to me, I am suffering..."

With a long sigh, Cao Cao just leaned against the window and stood beside Zhang Yan, looking at something with his narrow but bright eyes.When he heard Cao Cao's words, Zhang Yan asked back in confusion.

"Hiding it to you? Meng De, I just came back from Luoyang today. You were still by my side the last day before I left. What have I been hiding from you?"

Not knowing what strange things Cao Cao was saying at the moment, Zhang Yan just stared back into the other's eyes without showing any weakness.Hearing Zhang Yan's words, Cao Cao's eyes looked at the sky, and he held back a sentence after a long time. At the same time, his whole body seemed to be finally exposed as if the things hidden in his heart were finally exposed, and his previously tense body relaxed a little.

"Now the entire upper circle of Luoyang City already knows that you, Demao, were married by His Majesty the Emperor today, and that your marriage partner is the young daughter of the patriarch of a famous family from Jiangdong."

"Na Cai, asking the name, Na Ji, Na Zheng, and asking for the date, you have already completed these steps quietly, and in a few days, you may have to perform the in-person ceremony."

"It's a pity that our brothers have been worrying about your life-long event all day long, but we didn't expect..."

Sighing again, Cao Cao looked in Zhang Yan's direction with complicated eyes, and Zhang Yan finally understood what the other party said he was hiding.

Chapter 27 broken

"Meng De, you misunderstood. Today's matter was arranged by my father for me. Before that, even I didn't know it at all..."

Somewhat embarrassed, he said to Cao Cao, after Zhang Yan knew what the other party was talking about, he immediately realized that he had done something wrong, and he didn't inform his good brothers about such a big matter in advance.

It's just that he didn't expect Zhang Rang to welcome Qiaoying, the young daughter of Jiangdongqiao's family, into Luoyang city on his own initiative during the time he left Luoyang. Completed the first five items.

Now that he has returned to Luoyang, if it wasn't for the marriage bestowed by the emperor today, he still doesn't know that in a few days, he will be able to be with that little Qiao whom he has longed for...

Little Qiao who misses day and night...

Little... Joe?

After belatedly realizing that the key to this matter was not that he was hiding the truth from the other party, Zhang Yan suddenly realized what the sourness in Cao Cao's previous tone meant.And thinking that in the novel, Zhuge Liang once took a huge scapegoat for his good brother Cao Cao, and framed the purpose of Cao Cao's Southern Expedition as looting Jiangdong Erqiao, and even contributed to the conflict between Shu Han and Sun Wu Alliance, Zhang Yan's expression became a little bad.

Although he said that he should not have the intention of harming others, but Zhang Yan, who knew Cao Cao's character quite well, still felt that he must be wary of others, especially his good brother Cao Cao.

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Zhang Yan tentatively asked in Cao Cao's direction:

"Brother Meng De said so in detail, could it be that he has met my wife who has not yet been married?"

Looking in Cao Cao's direction suspiciously, Zhang Yan carefully observed the other's expression, for fear that Cao Cao would deceive himself by saying something at this moment.And Cao Cao was looking up at the roof now, so naturally he didn't notice Zhang Yan's change, he just responded slightly, then nodded and didn't speak.

"broken--"

An ominous premonition appeared in Zhang Yan's heart. After thinking for a while, he tentatively asked in Cao Cao's direction:

"Brother Meng De, I haven't seen the first wife my father arranged for me. I don't know if the young girl from the Qiao family...is she born beautiful?"

……

"Is it possible to be born beautiful?"

"Ha ha……"

On the other side, after hearing what Zhang Yan said, Cao Cao seemed to have heard some joke, and without thinking about it, he subconsciously replied:

"I'm dissatisfied with Brother De Mao, but your unmarried wife gave birth to the face of a fish and a wild goose, and the face of a closed moon and shameful flowers."

"De Mao is so lucky——"

"If that woman is an ordinary person, if she is favored by her, even if she dies, she will have no regrets."

Shaking his head and making a comment, Cao Cao was also depressed at the moment, so he inevitably drank more spirits, and he couldn't control his words.

In addition, he and Zhang Yan are very familiar with each other on weekdays, so he didn't notice that his current behavior has become a little out of control.

"Worse—"

The ominous premonition in his heart deepened again. After careful consideration for a long time, Zhang Yan finally decided to pat Cao Cao on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear:

"Brother Meng De, don't bully your friends' wives..."

"Yeah, friend's wife...what the hell?"

Shaking his head and repeating after Zhang Yan, Cao Cao didn't react at first, but then he trembled as if he heard some horrible words, and at the same time looked in the direction of Zhang Yan beside him with some surprise.

He was intoxicated with alcohol before and didn't pay attention, but now when he turned around, he found that Zhang Yan was guarding himself like a thief.And since Cao Cao himself is a veteran on the road of love, he can naturally see where Zhang Yan is wary of him at a glance.

"De Mao, what nonsense are you talking about? How can I, Cao Mengde, be such a pervert!"

He waved his hand towards Zhang Yan in a funny way, and Cao Cao hurriedly explained.

In those previous days, Cao Cao had met Zhang Yan's fiancée Qiao Ying several times outside the city and in the brothel he often went to. Thoughts.

It's just that Qiao Ying has been betrothed to Zhang Yan by his father Qiao Xuanxu as his wife, so no matter how envious Cao Cao is, it is not easy to directly attack his brother's wife, so he just feels a little sour in his heart.

Now that Zhang Yan finally returned to the imperial court from outside Luoyang, Cao Cao naturally appeared next to Zhang Yan after a long absence, intending to complain a few words to him.

After all, when Zhang Yan first came to Luoyang City, Cao Cao even took Zhang Yan with him to rob marriages. Now that Zhang Yan found such a good fiancée but kept it so deep from him, Cao Cao naturally felt bitter towards him. Say a few words to vent your dissatisfaction.

But what Cao Cao didn't expect was that after he finally adjusted his mentality at Lai Ying'er and appeared in front of Zhang Yan, because he drank a lot of spirits, he accidentally turned himself on Qiao Ying's face. A feeling of envy was expressed.Before he had time to complain to Zhang Yan, Cao Cao was a little embarrassed that his thoughts were discovered by the other party.

"Hey, is it true that the charm of the Qiao family girl is so great that even people like me who have experienced countless storms and waves can't resist it?"

With a slander in his heart, Cao Cao shook his head vigorously, filled himself with another bottle of strong wine and drank it down in one gulp, as a kind of apology for his previous rude behavior, and at the same time, he also slightly concealed the embarrassment on his face now. look.

Even if he knew that he was a principled and honest gentleman, he would never do such a shameful thing as snatching other people's wives under normal circumstances, but after considering that his good brother Zhang Yan knew everything about him, he was a little worried whether the other party would I will think more about my actions.

Fortunately, after seeing that Cao Cao's expression did not seem to be fake, although Zhang Yan was a little skeptical, he didn't make it too difficult for Cao Cao, but just diverted the topic to other places.But in his heart, he couldn't help feeling a little curious about his wife who hadn't married yet.

Although Zhang Yan has been impressed by the name of Jiangdong Erqiao since his last life, but before that, he could not help but feel that Luo Guanzhong and others' beautiful imaginations existed in it.But now that his brother Cao Cao was so absent-minded, Zhang Yan suddenly became curious about the woman named "Qiaoying".

At the same time, he also secretly planned in his heart that when he arrived at Lujiang, he must build the Tongque Terrace before Cao Cao.The blueprint of the Tongque Terrace had been exchanged long ago, and he was waiting for Wei Xian and the others to find time to act.But now that they have the experience of successfully building the first wonder, Wei Xian and the others will be more handy.

After chatting with Cao Cao again, Zhang Yan was used to a few large glasses of strong wine by the other party.And as the drunkenness gradually came to his head, he inevitably felt a sense of dizziness spread to his mind.

Chapter 28 Old Licking Dog

"Meng De, you don't know something. In fact, regarding this matter, although I am grateful to the emperor and my father for their love for me, my brother, deep down in my heart..."

After drinking too much wine, Zhang Yan couldn't help but lose control of his emotions.Although Cao Cao is a bit unreliable in being a good wife, he is also one of the few friends of Zhang Yan in Luoyang City who have equal status.

Therefore, after a few big glasses of wine, Zhang Yan also complained to Cao Cao with some grievances.

"Brother Meng De, you don't know something, little brother, deep down in my heart, although I am happy that my father sent someone to find the daughter of the Qiao family to the capital, I also have a little bit of entanglement and doubt."

"You have to know that I have admired this girl for a long time, and I have always planned to be rewarded to the other party's hometown to be the prefect for my military exploits and miracles for the emperor.

"It's just that I didn't expect that now I was finally appointed as the prefect of Lujiang by the emperor, and I was successfully granted the title of Marquis of Wan, but I found that the girl had been invited to Luoyang City by my father, and now the emperor has stepped in to directly intervene in this matter..."

Sighing slightly, Zhang Yan may have drank too much wine, and the hesitant temperament before resurfaced again.But before he could continue talking, Cao Cao waved his hand to interrupt his words.

"So, Demao, do you think the presence of the Son of Heaven and the Zhongchang Attendant will cause the girl to feel forced, and even affect the relationship between the two of you after marriage?"

Drunkenly asked Zhang Yan, Cao Cao now has an expression like we are with each other, and I can smell what you ate today before you take off your pants.But before Zhang Yan had time to nod his head and say yes, a sense of resentment rose up deep in his heart, and he couldn't help but yelled.

"Hehe, my brother... I know how old you are and you are twenty-six years old, but you are still unmarried."

"Bah! Disgusting!"

"That's a marriage bestowed by the emperor. No matter how many people wait in line, they can't wait for such a great thing. You are actually picking and choosing here!"

"nausea!"

The flying saliva almost sprayed into Zhang Yan's wine bottle, Zhang Yan was so frightened that he quickly put his wine bottle into his arms.And before he had time to ask his good brother why he suddenly got so angry, Cao Cao suddenly fell silent as if he was sober.

"Hey, Demao, if you don't want this marriage, why don't you go and talk to Brother Wei and the emperor, just say that you don't like her, how about asking the emperor to give her to Brother Wei?"

He glanced at Zhang Yan meaningfully. Naturally, Cao Cao didn't really think he was out of his mind and planned to let Zhang Yan do this.Hearing Cao Cao's words, Zhang Yan immediately scolded the other party with a smile, and at the same time waved Cao Cao away from his side.

After a while, he took out the wine bottle in his arms and looked at it again and again, and Zhang Yan had already tasted the true meaning of the other party's words.

"Face yourself..."

"And, let's do it and cherish it?"

After thinking about it secretly, Zhang Yan also understood Cao Cao's good intentions. At the same time, after laughing and scolding, his inner depression was relieved a lot.

After all, as Cao Cao said, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't do the stupid thing of handing over this marriage to others.And before, I always thought about the other party's reputation spread far and wide and admired by thousands of people, but I forgot that I was no longer the ordinary young social animal in the previous life, but a famous prince in the middle of the big man.

Putting the wine glass on the window sill, Zhang Yan seemed to let go of the entanglement in his heart, and just walked back to the noisy banquet.

Swapping cups with a few acquaintances, Zhang Yan no longer turned to those who had nothing, but began to plan his plans for the future.

He is not stupid either, Zhang Yan quickly understood the whole story after Hanling Emperor Liu Hong gave him the marriage.But after thinking about it again and again, it was nothing more than his maid Ye'er who told Zhang Rang of his "admiration" for Xiao Qiao, and Zhang Rang did not notify him in advance because he was worried about his life-long event, and directly sent Qiao Ying out of the house. I found it in the Jiangdong area.
