Chapter 192 Cao Cao and Cai Yan
Chapter ninety-two
"Well, you need to know about this matter sooner or later, so I'll tell you. Today, Dong Zhuo proposed marriage to me for his adopted son Lv Bu. Cai Yong took a sip of wine and said, "I, Cai Yong, have been clean all my life. Only a daughter like you is regarded as a pearl on the palm. How can I be willing to push you into the fire pit and let you dress up as a jackal-like Lv Bu?"
"Father, although it is said that Lv Bu is addicted to killing his father Ding Yuan, why does Dong Zhuo reuse such a person? My daughter thinks that this matter may be strange, and it may be true. Hearing that Lv Bu was going to marry him, Cai Yan's heart began to jump up, but looking at Cai Yong's sad face, he said something to persuade him.
"Daughter, how do you know the hardships of the world? Lv Bu killed people like hemp and regarded life as grass mustard. It is said that in this Lv Bu's western expedition, the iron horse of 100,000 Qiang people in Beigong Boyu was killed alive by Lv Bu. That's all, but do you know that Lv Bu didn't even let go of those surrendered Qiang soldiers. All the prisoners were cut off their heads by Lv Bu, and fresh blood flowed into the Wei water, which actually dyed the whole Wei water red. You have been spoiled at home since you were a child. How can your father be willing to be with this kind of jackal, tiger and leopard? In the past, when Cai Yong mentioned Lv Bu's achievements, he felt very relieved. He felt that Lv Bu had won glory for the Han people and showed the prestige of the Han people. But now Cai Yong is crying. Cai Yong really can't imagine what his daughter and people like Lv Bu will be together.
"Father, is this true?" Cai Yong's words surprised Cai Yan. For this girl who usually dares not step on cockroaches to death, what Lv Bu did was really horrible and unbelievable. So much so that after hearing this, Cai Yan's voice trembled.
"Well, these things are seen by people from there with their own eyes, and there is nothing false." Cai Yong sighed and replied affirmatively.
"Master, someone wants to see you outside." Just as the father and daughter were talking in a thrilling mood, an old family came over and said after salute to Cai Yong.
"There is no one who is so late. I don't see, I don't see." Hearing the words of his old family, Cai Yong said angrily. Now Cai Yong has a big head and two big, and he can't solve his own troubles. He is still in the mood to deal with other things.
"Master." When the old family saw that Cai Yong was angry, the reality was very surprised. Then they paused and then continued to say, "The man said that there was a way to save our young lady. The villain saw him swearing, so he came to inform." It turned out that the old family looked bitter as soon as Cai Yong came back. They knew what trouble Cai Yong had encountered, but the host family didn't say, and the old family didn't want to ask. At this time, someone asked to see Cai Yong and said that there was a way to help his young lady. The old family came to report it urgently for fear of delaying Cai Yong's big event.
"Oh, is there such a thing? Who is coming?" As soon as Cai Yong heard this, he suddenly became energetic and hurriedly asked.
"Master, this man is covered in black and can't see who he is." The family thought about it and said.
"Father, this person is so mysterious. Don't see him. I'm afraid there will be a disaster." Hearing someone hide his head and show his tail, Cai Yan's heart jumped and said worriedly.
"Well, is there any disaster that worries me more than letting me marry you to Lv Bu?" Cai Yong obviously cried bitterly for Cai Yan's matter. Now he hears that there is such a life-saving straw, and the reason is not caught there. You go in first. I'm going to meet a guest." Although Cai Yong was in a mess, he still maintained the demeanor of Confucianism. He dried Cai Yan in, and then waved his hand to his old family: "Let him come to see me."
"Master, do you want to make some preparations?" After listening to Cai Yan's words, the old family obviously asked with some worries.
"No, I'll have an old bone. What do you care about? Go quickly. I'd like to see what he can do, just my daughter. Cai Yong said with some anticipation.
After the old family went out for a while, they brought in a man in a wide black cloak from outside. There must be a big hat on this cloak, and people's faces will be hidden together in the future. I can't see clearly.
"Lord Cai, it's polite." The man saw Cai Yong salute first, but he did not take off his cloak, but just looked at the old family.
"I have something to talk about with the guests. You can go down first." Cai Yong naturally understood the meaning of the people and hurriedly took the old family away.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Lord Cai's demeanor is still the same." Seeing that the old family left, he took off his cloak and showed a firm face. If Lv Bu was here, he would immediately recognize him. This person was Cao Cao, whom Lv Bu had not seen for a long time.
"Cao Cao, why is it you?" Seeing that the person coming was Cao Cao, Cai Yong was shocked. It turned out that Cao Cao Cao has been Dong Zhuo's staff since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and often goes in and out of Dong Zhuo, which makes Cai Yong doubt Cao Cao's intention.
"Haha, what Lord Cai Yong wants is just to save his daughter. Coincidentally, it is Cao Cao. There is such a way to help adults. Why do adults care? Is this idea made by my Cao Cao? It's still from someone else." Cao Cao's reaction to Cai Yong was obviously well prepared and directly expressed his intention.
"That's right. You, Cao Cao, are loyal or treacherous. It really has nothing to do with me. Well, just talk about your method. I'm very interested in Lord Cao's idea. Cai Yong obviously put down his figure for Cai Yan. Cai Yong disdained to meet Cao Cao, who was close to Dong Zhuo in the past.
"To tell you the truth, what do you think Dong Zhuo will do next after tonight?" Cao Cao didn't ask first.
"Well, it must be that Dong Zhuo's heart is not dead, and he will definitely give your majesty a holy decree to marry. Oh, my miserable daughter." Although Cai Yong was hit hard, his heart was still clear. Knowing that Dong Zhuo's marriage proposal did not succeed today, he would definitely force him to marry with the majesty of the emperor.
"The adult really observed and knew Dong Zhuo's character. So do you know who Lv Bu is? Cao Cao asked Cai Yong again.
"Well, Cao Cao, you don't have to try me. Lv Bu is like a wolf and a tiger. I'd rather die than marry my daughter to him." Seeing Cao Cao's repeated questions, Cai Yong knew that Cao Cao was deliberately testing himself, so he affirmed.
"Hahaha, it seems that my trip is really not in vain. Lord Cai Yong also knew that I was a staff under Dong Zhuo. Two days later, it was my turn to be on the west gate of Luoyang. At that time, I would like to make a concession and let your daughter leave. I don't know if this method can make your daughter avoid this disaster? Cao Cao laughed and finally said his own way.
"What? Are you really willing to take this big risk and let my daughter live for the sake of my daughter? After listening to Cao Cao's words, Cai Yong was shocked. You should know that once Cao Cao did this, once he failed, it was a crime to kill his head. Cai Yong has always had no contact with Cao Cao. He was also surprised to see that Cao Cao was willing to take such a big risk to save his daughter.
"Ha ha, although Cao works under Dong Zhuo, Cao's conscience is still unknown. He knows that he is famous in the world of piano, chess and painting. How can such a talented woman be stained by beasts like Lv Bu? I heard that Lv Bu has been drinking human blood and eating human flesh since he was a child. He is an unforgiving demon. Cao Cao hoped that this time In order to save your daughter, it is also the next wish. To tell you the truth, Cao has also admired his precious daughter for a long time. Speaking of this, Cao Cao said with a slightly rosy face.
"Ha ha, so that's it. My daughter can be appreciated by adults, which is also his blessing. Unfortunately, he has already had a marriage contract. I think I'll let him leave Luoyang this time and go straight to her husband's house. In this way, even if Dong Zhuo and Lv Bu know that the raw rice has been cooked, I understand that they can't do anything. Cai Yong made up his mind and said.
"Lord Cai's method is really smart. In this case, at midnight two days later, please bring your daughter to the west gate of Luoyang. Cao Cao will definitely do it properly. Cao Cao nodded and said.
"Thank you very much, Lord Cao." After discussing with Cao Cao, Cai Yong also showed enthusiasm and respect for Cao Cao.
"This is the time, Cao Cao won't bother. Lord Cai, please say hello to Miss Cai Yan for me. When Cao Cao saw that things were all right, he got up and said goodbye.
"Wait, Lord Cao is really a strong man. I'll ask the little girl to come and thank her for saving my life. With that, Cai Yong shouted inside, "Yan'er, why don't you come here quickly? Thank Lord Cao for your help."
As soon as Cai Yong finished speaking, he saw a charming girl coming out of the inside and came to Cao Cao three steps away, Yingying bowed.
"The little girl thanked Lord Cao for his rescue." Cai Yan's tone was gentle, and the words were like ghosts. Only Cao Cao's body was numb.
"Sure enough, no wonder Lv Bu is so anxious." Seeing the beautiful woman in front of him, even if Cao Cao has reached the year of his establishment, it is also not easy to be moved, and some of them can't support himself.
"Lord Cao, thank you very much for taking my little girl." Seeing that Cao Cao was a little difficult to extricate himself, Cai Yong hurried forward to remind him.
"Ah, Cao Cao said goodbye." Seeing Cai Yong's reminder, Cao Cao left reluctantly.
"Father, why did you let me see this man? Look at him like that, really, really." Seeing Cao Cao leave, Cai Yan said angrily. Later, he blushed and couldn't say anything.
"Yan'er, you heard everything Cao Cao said inside. How much do you think Cao Cao came here is true and how fake?" He ignored Cai Yan's shyness, but recalled Cao Cao's performance just now.
"What does the father mean? My daughter doesn't understand?" After listening to Cai Yong's words, Cai Yan said blankly.
"Daughter, if your father is not around in the future, you need to be more careful. I see that Cao Cao is not an ordinary person. He must have another plan to work under Dong Zhuo. Such a person who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, but why is he willing to risk being killed by Lv Bu and Dong Zhuo in order to save an unincompetent person like you? Apart from other plans, there is really nothing that can explain his behavior. Cai Yong recalled Cao Cao's behavior and said worriedly.
