He Yan got up from the bed and asked the waiter again and again: "Is it really me?"
"real!"
"Are you sure?"
"Sure?"
"Is it absolutely true?"
"Absolutely true!"
"oh."
He Yan reluctantly got down from his soft bed and used his fingers to pluck off the eye droppings that had formed on his eyelashes.
When Cao Pi saw this scene, he wanted to reprimand He Yan and tell him to treat Guo Jia with enough respect!
Not to mention burning incense and bathing, but at least washing your face, right?
Is it really okay to treat Guo Jia so perfunctorily?
However, Cao Pi swallowed his words as soon as they came to his lips.
Because He Yan came to him and asked him lazily: "Together?"
Cao Pi's eyes suddenly widened, filled with joy and disbelief.
He Yan was actually willing to bring him to show his face in front of Guo Jia?
What Cao Pi didn't know was that He Yan took him with him simply because if something unexpected happened, he could throw Cao Pi out as a shield.
Cao Pi, who didn't know why, was jumping up and down at this time, trying to help He Yan smooth out the wrinkles on his body, and even rolled the scent of his own face on He Yan's body, trying to make He Yan smell better.
"This is for you."
Cao Pi was like a mobile cosmetic bag. He pulled out a piece of "Chicken Tongue" from nowhere and handed it to He Yan.
"Chicken tongue fragrance" is also known as clove. It is said that when Ying Shao was serving as a servant of the Han Dynasty, he had bad breath in old age. The emperor gave him the fragrance of chicken tongue to hold it. Later, there is a story in the Three Provinces that the official would smell the fragrance of chicken tongue and hope that he would perform tasks and answer questions.
To put it simply, it is a kind of chewing gum, and it is also a very expensive chewing gum.
Throwing a piece of chicken tongue into his mouth, the rich fragrance became more and more fragrant the more he chewed it, which made He Yan's eyes light up.
"Any more?"
"No more!"
Cao Pi tightly covered his sachet and looked at He Yan warily.
His chicken tongue incense is a gift from the palace, and it is the same style as the three gongs and nine ministers.
Giving He Yan a piece of such a rare thing was enough to make him feel distressed, how could he give more.
He Yan shook his head: "Forget it, I won't take you with me."
Upon hearing this, Cao Pi became really anxious and grabbed He Yan's sleeve: "How could Yulang break his promise like this?"
But seeing He Yan's expression of being indifferent, Cao Pi could only hand over his sachet to He Yan with tears in his eyes: "That's all, it's really gone..."
He Yan took the sachet and weighed it for a few times before nodding with satisfaction: "Hei Fu, your future is limitless!"
Although Cao Pi's body ached very much, he still instinctively said, "Why?"
"Exchanging a thousand pieces of gold for a chance to meet Guo Jijiu is enough to show that you are a person who has achieved great things!"
He Yan gave a thumbs up: "I'm optimistic about you!"
Cao Pi was so praised by He Yan that he suddenly didn't know what to do, and even his walking steps were a little frivolous.
"He Yan praised me as a person who achieves great things!"
"He Yan said he wanted to achieve great things with me!"
"He Yan said he is willing to help me accomplish something great!"
"Well! That's it! He Yan has been recaptured by me!"
Cao Pi had a silly smile on his face, obviously he didn't expect to achieve his goal so easily.
He Yan, on the other hand, looked at Cao Pi with 30% pity and 70% sympathy.
"This kid is so easy to deceive..."
The two of them came to the front hall of Sikong Mansion together and saw Guo Jia waiting there.
He Yan looked Guo Jia up and down and found that he was not as wild and uninhibited as he imagined.
At least when we met today, Guo Jia was still dressed very formally, and there was nothing inappropriate about it. It was even more nonsense to say that she was open-minded.
"He Yan (Cao Pi) has seen wine sacrifices."
"Guo Jia has met the two young masters."
Guo Jia had never met He Yan, but he was an old acquaintance with Cao Pi, so he could naturally tell who was who.
However, it is precisely because he can distinguish them that Guo Jia can better understand the difference between the two.
Originally, Cao Pi was not bad in appearance, but compared with He Yan, tsk tsk, it's hard to say, it's hard to say...
Cao Pi didn't know what Guo Jia was thinking, but after meeting Guo Jia, he eagerly helped him make tea and pour water, insisting on showing his demeanor as a "courteous and virtuous corporal" in front of Guo Jia.
He Yan didn't think so much, sat down opposite Guo Jia and yawned: "Guo Jijiu didn't discuss with Sikong how to resist Yuan Shao, why did he come to see me when he had time?"
When Guo Jia saw He Yan looking like this, he became a little less reserved, and his words became a little more brisk: "Master He asked knowingly, haven't you already given a strategy to defeat the enemy?"
He Yan quickly waved his hand: "Guo Jijiu's words are wrong."
"What I said to Sikong yesterday was all just talk on paper and cannot be taken seriously."
But Guo Jia didn't care: "It's true to talk about war on paper, but it's different if you talk about the world on paper."
"Master He..."
"Guo Jijiu, you drink water."
"Actually, I..."
"Guo Jijiu, please have some snacks."
"Come this time..."
"Guo Jijiu, would you like a slice of chicken tongue?"
"..."
Guo Jia was interrupted by Cao Pi's "enthusiasm" three times in a row, and his expression was a little depressed.
And He Yan stared at Cao Pi with angry eyes: "What a little black guy! How dare you hide it secretly!"
"Master Cao, don't work hard anymore."
Guo Jia is naturally aware of Cao Pi's little thoughts, but he is not willing to get involved yet.
Among Cao Cao's many sons, except for He Yan and his other adopted son Cao Zhen, Guo Jia was reluctant to contact them.
Seeing that Guo Jia was a little indifferent, Cao Pi had no choice but to sit next to Guo Jia unwillingly and continue to act as a backdrop.
"Ahem."
Only then could Guo Jia continue talking to He Yan: "Master He, I just want to ask you one thing this time."
"Guo sacrifices wine and asks for your words."
"Since Mr. He can see the general trend of the world, why didn't he give Sikong a strategy to defeat Yuan Shao in one strike? Is it possible that Mr. He is not worried at all that Yuan Shao will win?"
"Is it possible that Mr. He thinks that after Yuan Shao's victory, he can let Mr. He go?"
This statement is extremely heartbreaking.
Although He Yan is the adopted son of Cao Cao, he is also the grandson of General He Jin.
Others in Cao Cao's faction may not survive Yuan Shao's hands, but He Yan definitely can!
After all, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were both He Jin's men when they were young. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when friendship was extremely important, Yuan Shao would definitely not attack He Yan.
With this level of protection, there seems to be no difference at all to He Yan whether Yuan Shao wins or Cao Cao wins!
Cao Pi on the side was frightened by the sudden tense atmosphere. He was still young and obviously did not understand the grievances of the previous generation, and seemed a little at a loss.
"Guo Jijiu."
He Yan's voice was not panicked at all, but revealed determination.
"You asked me why I didn't give Sikong any advice. That's because..."
"I believe in you, just like Sikong believes in you."
