"Second Master, Commander Zhang and the others are back?"

Wei Mu walked into the yard and saw Wei Cheng walking with Cai Yan. He stood by the door with a smile, cupped his hands and said.

Wei Cheng raised his head and said casually: "Just come back and let them have a rest. I will go to the guardhouse later."

Wei Mu lowered his head slightly, bowed his hands to the two of them, and retreated.

Cai Yan rolled his eyes and urged: "Husband, since you have something to do, just go and do it. I'll be fine by myself."

Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be hurt, "Yan'er, are you annoyed with me?"

Cai Yan stuck out his tongue.

At this time, Hao Niang came from the kitchen with a bowl of ginseng soup. As she walked, she said with a smile: "You don't know how annoying you are. My sister has been very annoyed by you these days. Children in the college

We look forward to her going to class every day, but you have to occupy her all by yourself."

Today, Hao Niang exudes confidence, and the burn scars on her face are almost gone. Thanks to Wei Cheng's disdainful efforts, she found ancient prescriptions for treating scars in ancient books. Although there are still some traces, she applied them lightly.

Makeup can completely cover it up.

Hao Niang, whose appearance has been restored, is breathtakingly beautiful.

Even Zhong Chan didn't dare to say that she was prettier than her. In addition, Hao Niang's figure was naturally graceful, which made her even more beautiful. It was a pity that she was used to wearing plain clothes, otherwise she wouldn't know how to be beautiful.

To what extent...

"What do you mean, I'm taking over her? I don't care about her." Wei Cheng looked aggrieved, but of course he was pretending.

Cai Yan also said good things for Wei Cheng, but she was still thinking about the children in the college. After all, she had been getting along day and night for several months, and she still had some feelings for the children.

Hao Niang handed the ginseng soup to Wei Yan, held Cai Yan's hand, and suggested: "Sister, actually you don't have to listen to Brother Wei. All the ladies have said that it is good to move around more when you are pregnant. Besides, you

I haven’t shown my pregnancy yet.”

Wei Cheng retorted: "That's four or five months from now. Now is the most dangerous period. You don't understand... Come, Yan'er, I'll feed you some soup."

Cai Yan shook his head in confusion, and he and Hao Niang looked at each other and smiled.

Perhaps he felt that he had gone too far. After feeding Cai Yan the ginseng soup, Wei Cheng relaxed and said, "Okay, since you want to go to the academy, then go, but let Xiao Hua follow you."

Xiaohua is the daughter of Aunt Manhua and the wife of Fei Yao. She is a tall and fat woman named Weiliqi. She currently serves in the women's guard formed by Xie Yu himself. Her main task is to protect Cai Yan when he travels.

"Is it really possible?" Cai Yan was so excited that Wei Cheng sighed repeatedly.

He nodded and said, "Of course you can, but you have to act according to your ability. You can only teach for two hours a day. I won't accept any more."

"Hehe, I obey my husband." Cai Yan stood up on his toes and pecked Wei Cheng on the face.

Hao Niang covered her mouth and snickered, feeling both envy and expectation in her heart.

Wei Cheng reflected in her heart that she could allow Cai Yan to do such a bold act. It seemed that she had been wronged a lot in the past few days.

In fact, we can't blame Wei Cheng, he was originally an orphan, and what an orphan longs for most is to have a home of his own.

He didn't have much sense of belonging to the Wei family, but his small home with Cai Yan made him feel even more warm.

Now that he knows that he will be a father soon, it is normal for Wei Cheng to be cautious.

It's just that this kind of caution is too selfish and does not take Cai Yan's wishes into consideration.

···

It's approaching noon.

Zhang Fei and his party celebrated in a restaurant.

This expedition lasted only thirteen days, just in time to come back for the New Year.

Xu Huang also returned yesterday with 3,000 city guards, half a day earlier than Zhang Fei. They all agreed to get together today.

Hao Ke Lai Restaurant, Hao Niang's property, has been booked by several brothers today.

All the five captains of the Longshan Army arrived, and the thirty captains of the City Guards also took their seats. Xu Huang, as the commander-in-chief and military governor, naturally sat at the top, with Tian Feng and Xun Or next to him.

It can be seen that everyone's respect for these two gentlemen is basically inferior to that of Wei Cheng.

"Come, Mr. Xun, I'll toast you."

Zhang Fei took the initiative to get up. Although he had several disagreements with Xun He during this expedition, he knew that Xun He was a powerful person. If it weren't for Xun He, he would probably have to delay a lot of time to complete the task given to Wei Ceng.

task.

Xun or is about the same age as Wei Cheng. Because he has a beard, he looks a little old-fashioned and gives people a mature and stable feeling. This makes people feel safe, especially men who have never read books. They are especially fond of him.

admire.

"Yes, yes, we also want to toast you sir." Several captains of the Longshan Army stood up at the same time, including Xu Huang.

Xu Huang said: "I am not happy that I am not following my husband this time when I go north. No, Wu Moye has been around for seven or eight days. If there had been a husband, we might have returned in triumph long ago."

Xun probably knew that Xu Huang was complimenting him, so he smiled, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

When Xu Huang saw this, he laughed and did it. At the same time, he looked at Tian Feng aside, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

He was actually apologizing for Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei insisted on going his own way, which really made Xun or the supervisor very embarrassed, but what could he do? Zhang Fei was young and acted impulsively. As the big brother, he could only stand aside.

Come out and say something nice.

Fortunately, the mission has been completed. If the mission had not been completed, Zhang Fei would have been blamed. If he was so motivated when marching and fighting, how could he still do it?

Xun You knew this very well, but he was also very helpless in his heart. After all, he was a latecomer. He had little prestige among the Longshan Army and the City Guards, and no one listened to his words. It seemed that he had to do something to let the sergeants

Just be convinced.

Of course Xun Yu would not blame Zhang Fei. A smart person like him would only take the responsibility on himself and then find a way to solve the problem.

Those who have achieved great things since ancient times have never been those who blame themselves or blame others for their mistakes. Only those who constantly reflect on and strengthen themselves can gradually grow stronger and step by step to the throne of the strong.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Tian Feng said with a smile: "When you go north this time, do you know that Wang took the opportunity to lead his troops north and planned to massacre the city overnight?"

Everyone was startled when they heard this, and Xu Huang and others were even more furious.

Zhang Fei slapped the table and stood up, "Is this really true?"

They had just returned, and there was a lot of singing and dancing in Anyi City. There was no trace of the city being attacked. Naturally, they didn't know that something like this happened in the city during the time they left.

Xun You also frowned slightly, and then he seemed to have thought of something key, and frowned and said, "But what did Dong Dong Alliance do?"

Tian Feng smiled slightly, nodded, shook his head again, put down Kuai Zi, and said: "That's right, but the real person behind the scenes is Cao Mengde."

"Cao Mengde?" Zhang Fei's face changed drastically.

He knew that his eldest brother Liu Bei and his second brother Guan Yu had been hanging out with Cao Mengde.

Tian Feng saw this and comforted him with a smile: "Yide, don't worry too much. Brother Xuande is currently dealing with Sun Jian in Jingzhou. This matter has nothing to do with him."

Zhang Fei's expression softened slightly.

Xu Huang frowned and said: "What a great Cao Mengde. He failed to borrow troops at first, but now he has decided to target us. I said that Wu Moye Shanyu was just a loser. How could he be such a thief? It turned out that he had some advice from an expert.

"

Xun You frowned in thought, shook his head and said, "No, I know Cao Mengde well. Although he is somewhat clever, he is a handsome man and cannot be a schemer. If he can calculate to this extent, there must be someone else."

Hearing this, Tian Feng laughed and said, "Of course, Brother Wen Ruo's guess is right. There is indeed someone else, and you also know this person."

Xun was stunned for a moment.

Tian Feng smiled at him and said, "Yingchuan Opera Zhicai."

"Brother Zhicai?"

Xun You was shocked. He knew many people in Yingchuan. He knew both Xi Zhicai and Guo Fengxiao. Historically, it was because of him that Cao Cao met two talented people.

Seeing Xun You's expression, Tian Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I don't know why he was recruited by Cao Mengde."

Xun You's expression changed as he thought of another one...Guo Jia.

At this moment, a festive sound of gongs and drums came from the street.

"Today at 3:00 noon, Wei's Department Store officially opens. All local people in Hedong can purchase new year's supplies with their bamboo household registration."

"Today at 3:00 noon, Wei's Department Store officially opened. Fanhedong local..."

Many pedestrians on the street stopped and listened. Not only the locals were concerned about Wei's news, but also the traveling businessmen traveling from various places were particularly concerned.

Knowing that only locals from Hedong could visit their homes to purchase goods, some businessmen suddenly had an idea... Who would want to contact every local friend and relative?

In the restaurant.

Tian Feng raised his eyes and looked at the window, said "Oh!", stood up and said, "Everyone, Tian has something important to do. If it's inconvenient, I'll stay here. I'm going to resign now."

Zhang Fei asked curiously: "What kind of department store are you going to, sir?"

Tian Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, yes, while I was drinking with you, I almost forgot the important matter that the young master told me... Oh, by the way, the young master will go back to the guardhouse in the afternoon. Please remember to be there on time, especially Gongming and Yi

De, and Brother Wenruo."

Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, Xun Yu, stood up, cupped their hands and clasped their fists, and responded: "Young master, if you are invited, you should be there."

Tian Feng left in a hurry, and everyone had no intention of drinking anymore. Although they wanted to discuss Cao Cao, Wei Cheng invited him in the afternoon, so he must solve this problem. Now that he has time... or go to some department store.
To be continued...
