In the courtyard, under a tall pear tree, a cool bamboo mat was placed horizontally. Xun Zhen was lying on it.
Looking up, he saw the blue sky and white clouds. Occasionally, there would be birds flying past.
In the middle of the courtyard, Wan 'er, who was wearing a purple dress and a waist, was dancing with her sword. As her white wrist danced, the Green Scale Sword danced back and forth like a dragon.
At this moment, Xun Zhen picked up a pear beside the bamboo mat and weighed it in his hand. Then, he smiled at Wan 'er, who was dancing with her sword, and said,
"Wan 'er, come, peel a pear for this young master.”
"Alright, Young Master."
Looking at the entire pear skin peeling off under Wan 'er's Green Scale Sword, Xun Zhen couldn't help but laugh.
"Hmm, not bad. Wan 'er, your sword arts have improved again!
Tonight, this young master wants to praise you!"
Hearing Xun Zhen's words, Wan 'er seemed to have thought of something. Her snow-white ears immediately turned slightly red.
She looked at Xun Zhen shyly.
"Cough cough-"
At this moment, a light cough suddenly came from the door outside the courtyard.
Hearing this light cough, Xun Zhen immediately looked over.
Seeing that it was Cao Cao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he couldn't help but laugh,"
"Hahaha, isn't this Cao Mengde?
Why do you have the time to come to my Yingchuan as a guest?”
"Didn't I miss you, Wenyuan?"
Seeing his good friend whom he had not seen for a long time, Cao Cao could not help but crack a joke.
After walking into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, Cao Cao looked around.
Although this courtyard was simple, it did not lose its elegance. The flowers and plants were all exquisite.
Moreover, with a peerless beauty as his companion, he felt like he was in a paradise. He could not help but sigh,
"Wen Yuan is still so carefree. Such a leisurely life is really enviable!”
"Hahaha, when I asked you if you wanted to leave, you said that you would be loyal to this man, but you refused to leave. Who can you blame?
How did he escape from Luoyang? I heard that Dong Zhuo is looking for you!”
"Didn't you hide all the way here to Wen Yuan?”
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed.
Then, he sat down on the chair beside Xun Zhen's bamboo mat and picked up a pear to eat.
"I have to thank Gongda this time. If he hadn't arrived in time, Yuan Rang and I would have been shot to death by your Xun family's servants.”
"Hahaha, there have been many things happening in the Great Han Dynasty recently. Yingchuan is not peaceful either. There are bandits robbing the people everywhere.
Therefore, I asked Gongda and Wen Ruo to make some arrangements in Ying Yin.
Right, Meng De, why did you think of coming to my place as soon as you left Luoyang? Could it be that you need my help again?”
"Hahaha, dissatisfied with Wen Yuan. There is indeed something. I failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo in Luoyang.”
"Is it because of Lu Bu?"
"Pfft, Wen Yuan, are you a god or not? How do you know that?"
"Heh, ever since Dong Zhuo was assassinated by that Yue Cavalry Lieutenant Wu Fu, he has been following Lu Bu around day and night.
So, why is it so hard to guess the reason why your assassination failed?”
"Sigh, what a pity. I was only one step away. Wen Yuan, I came here to ask you to help me kill Dong!
Before I came, when I passed by Chen Liu, I sent someone to write a letter to my father.
He ordered him to distribute his family wealth to recruit righteous soldiers for me, and also issued a false edict to report to the various roads.
Dong Zhuo is indeed powerful, but I, Cao Mengde, don't believe that he can defeat the heroes of the world!”
"Hey, Meng De, you're thinking too well."
"Wen Yuan, what do you mean?"
"I don't know if Dong Zhuo can defeat all the heroes in the world, but do you think that these soldiers gathered by issuing false edicts have combat power? They're just a bunch of mobs!"
"Hahaha, Wen Yuan, I've already thought of this. Therefore, I already have a plan in mind!"
Saying this, Cao Cao couldn't help but reveal a proud expression.
Seeing this, Xun Zhen could not help but smile playfully. He raised his eyebrows and said,
"Oh? Then what was Meng De's plan? Can you tell me a thing or two?"
"Hahaha, of course. Wen Yuan, it was actually very simple to solve this problem.
Wen Yuan, the reason why you think that the various rebel armies are a motley crew is because they have no leader.
Therefore, as long as we elect a leader with enough prestige from the Revolutionary Army, this problem will naturally be solved!”
"Pa, pa, pa!"
Hearing this, Xun Zhen couldn't help but clap for Cao Cao.
However, the playful look in his eyes made Cao Cao know that Xun Zhen was definitely not praising him!
"Wen Yuan, is there anything wrong?”Cao Cao frowned and asked.
"Heh, Meng De, if you can really command the various rebel armies with just a title, then doesn't that mean that Dong Zhuo only needs to give himself the title of Great General to command you?”
"Wen Yuan, you mean…"
"Humph! If I'm not wrong, if there really is a volunteer army responding, then when we meet at Tiger Cage Pass, the alliance leader will definitely be Yuan Shao and not you, Cao Cao!”
"If we can really kill Dong, then it doesn't matter even if Yuan Benchu takes over the Alliance Head position.”
Hearing this, Xun Zhen couldn't help but glance at Cao Cao and sneer,
"Do you really think that Yuan Shao, with his title as one of the three dukes of four generations, can suppress these rebel armies?
At that time, he was afraid that he, Yuan Shao, would not be able to accomplish anything and would be more than capable of ruining things!”
"However, there is no other way now.
Wen Yuan, you weren't in Luoyang at that time. You don't know how many cruel, heartless, and absurd things Dong Zhuo has done!
If this man doesn't die, our Han family will be in danger! This time, please help me, Wen Yuan!"
Speaking up to this point, Cao Cao couldn't help but bow towards Xun Zhen, as if he wouldn't stand up if Xun Zhen didn't agree.
Seeing this, Xun Zhen could only helplessly sigh."
"Alright, since Cao Mengde is already like this, I'll go with you to Tiger Cage Pass this time.
He could also take this opportunity to see the heroes of the world and meet Lu Bu again!”
Hearing this, Xun You, who had been silent at the side, could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Wen Yuan, are you still going to meet Lu Bu? Lu Bu hates you to the bone!”
"Hmph, so what if I hate him to the core? He was the one who wanted to kill me.
After the incident, he was lucky enough to survive. Not only did he not tuck his tail between his legs, but he also threatened to kill me.
Alright, now that I'm here, I'll see if he can kill me!”
