They followed Cao Cao from the Imperial Garden to the Xuchang Military Camp, only to see that Cao Cao had dismissed all his followers.
When he was about to reach the kitchen, he did not forget to observe the surroundings carefully. Finally, he found Xun Yu, who was not good at tracking.
"Wen Ruo, why are you following me?"
Cao Cao was a little wary. If he were to follow him in, how could he act cool in the future?
"My lord, this is a little unkind. Yu is not a spy. Bring me to meet the rare geniuses in this kitchen so that I can be influenced and serve my lord better in the future.”
Xun Yu was very cunning. He had already made things clear, so Cao Cao couldn't find an excuse.
Cao Cao's eyes swept over the area. It seemed to make sense.
More importantly, every time he went to ask Qin Chuan a question, he would inevitably be humiliated by him.
If he brought Xun Yu along, there would be someone to block the knife for him.
"You can go, but when you see him later, you have to ask him a question for me.”
Cao Cao whispered his question.
Xun Yu patted his chest and promised,""Don't worry, my lord.”
"I still have many questions to ask such a rare genius.”
"Farming, irrigation, taxes, and if we fight Yuan Shao in the future, what strategies do we have to defeat the enemy? Ma Teng, Sun Ce, Liu Biao, these ambitious heroes, there are too many of them.”
Cao Cao stared at him with wide eyes, but he immediately returned to normal. He smiled coldly.
Cao Cao didn't want to ask these questions?
Without a strong mentality, how could one withstand Qin Chuan's venomous tongue?
He couldn't afford to offend someone who could even have designs on his own daughter.
"Right, my identity is the main registrar, Old Cao. As for you, you're Old Xun, right? Don't forget.”
Although Xun Yu did not understand why he had so many scruples, he could only nod his head like a chicken pecking at grains.
After the two of them passed through layers of barracks, they arrived at the kitchen.
Qin Chuan was still the same as before, lying on the lazy chair, basking in the sunlight, as moist as he could be.
"Brother!"
Cao Cao greeted them warmly from afar.
"Old Cao! You still dare to come?" Qin Chuan jumped up from his lazy chair and scolded Cao Cao,"
"Yesterday, he left behind twenty gold taels and ran away. Do you think my Qu Yuanli is so cheap? I haven't finished my conditions yet!"
"How could I? I was in a hurry to report to the lord to receive the reward. If there are conditions, just mention them.”
As long as you don't have any designs on my daughter, money is not a problem.
The two of them seemed to have some unspeakable secret as they ran into the kitchen together. After that, waves of curses could be heard.
Xun Yu, who was outside the door, was completely dumbfounded.
As expected, Qu Yuanli was not the lord's handiwork, but this youth's.
However, what made him even more dumbfounded was that his lord was being educated like a younger brother in front of the youth.
Not only was Cao Cao not angry, he was actually enjoying it.
My goodness, is this really my lord?
"I'm telling you, Old Cao, I won't ask for much regarding Qu Yuanli's matter. At least give me another five hundred taels of gold!”
"Otherwise, don't even think about walking out of this kitchen today!”
Qin Chuan placed over 20 wine jugs onto the table. He was planning to determine who was stronger and who was weaker, as well as to decide life and death.
"Five hundred taels, this is not considered expensive. When the lord rewards me, I will definitely send it to you.”
"Brother, why do you need so much money?”
The benefits brought by Qu Yuanli, even if it was fifty thousand taels, Old Cao felt that it was reasonable.
However, Qin Chuan didn't need to be a family slave, nor did he have three wives and four concubines. What did he need so much money for? This made him a little curious.
"I've been bored recently, so I'm preparing to make some new things. I'll need a lot of money."
Qin Chuan said as he placed the dishes on the table. Then, he looked at Old Cao playfully and said mysteriously,
"If I make this thing out, I'm sure you'll be so shocked that you won't be able to close your mouth.”
"Besides!" Qin Chuan's mysteriousness was fleeting, and he changed back to his cynical look. He said,
"Don't forget, you promised me that you would get Zhen Mi, Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and the Princess of Jinxiang. I have to find a good place to build a 1,700-foot mansion.”
Old Cao rolled his eyes at Qin Chuan. Could he not mention the princess?
"Oh right, Brother Qin, let me introduce you to a new friend today. He is the Deputy Minister, Old Xun. He is in charge of the work of forging the curved shaft plows in the various provinces.”
"Aiyo, another official. Old Cao, you have so many high-ranking officials around you. Could it be that you have formed a clique behind the lord's back for personal gain?”
The position of a deputy was not even as good as a main registrar, which was similar to Old Xu's deputy position. They naturally did not mind such a joke.
"How can I? I'm a noble relative of the Cao family.”
"Alright, alright, alright. The Cao family is a noble family. Here's a toast to you. And Old Xun, since Old Cao brought you here, he definitely won't be an outsider.”
Old Xun had heard him clearly when he was shouting about Qu Yuanli's offer. The fact that Old Cao could tell him this secret was enough to prove that he was a trusted aide.
After Qin Chuan, who was familiar with the place, drank three large flasks, the atmosphere became harmonious.
Compared to Old Xu and Old Guo, Old Xun's personality was still a little reserved. Moreover, he seemed to be wary of Old Cao when he spoke.
Perhaps Qu Yuanli had elevated his status by quite a bit. Qin Chuan thought of this and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
When he felt that it was just right, Cao Cao secretly kicked Xun Yu under the table and gave him a look. The latter immediately understood.
"Oh right, Brother Qin, I heard that tomorrow is an auspicious day chosen by the Supreme Court. The Emperor is going to ask for the genealogy of Liu Bei from the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
If they couldn't find out, Liu Bei would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
His death is not to be regretted, but what do you think of his two younger brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?”
