Xu Prefecture, Langya.
The convoy that had already come out was filled with dozens of cars. They were all gold, silver, and jade. They swaggered through the city and attracted the attention of most people in the county. Not only that, but there were also many strong people.
Everyone was paying attention.
There were quite a few people following them along the way. They were all people who were scouting the place halfway.
It could be said that after passing through the official road, there were already several waves of people who had received the news and came to inquire.
However, the Old Master didn't seem to be aware of it.
At this moment, Tao Qian, who was in Xiapi, was naturally alarmed.
Tao Qian was already very old, almost half of his body was buried in the yellow soil, almost reaching his throat. When he heard about this matter, he was scared out of his wits and specially sent a team of soldiers to welcome and escort him.
Cao Cao had a second brother named Cao De. He had gathered all the family members and after escorting them all the way, he felt more and more uncomfortable.
"Old man, aren't we being too ostentatious by moving forward like this?”
Cao Song was old, but he took good care of himself. His face was still very hale and hearty. Although his hair was white, he looked very rich. He raised his hand and said calmly,"No worries, no worries. Don't be afraid. I've already asked Meng De to order the Taishan Prefecture Governor Ying Shao to send him off.”
"But this place is…Tao Qian's Xu Prefecture. If they're interested in money…"
"Hahaha!" Cao Song stroked his beard and said leisurely,""You're right, but Tao Qian is a person who values his reputation, so he won't do this. I'm still a former Grand Commandant and one of the three dukes, so why would I be afraid of him robbing me?”
"This…"
The second son, Cao De, of course dispelled his doubts, but he still felt uncomfortable. He had a feeling that the journey might not be peaceful. Moreover, there were too many family members following him, but there were few guards. He did not know when the troops of the Taishan Prefecture would arrive.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar, and dust filled the sky.
Cao Song and Cao De both raised their hands to stop the caravan. Soon, the warhorse arrived with a scholar on its back. The official's robe billowed in the wind.
This person was Xu Zhen. He had already been running for a day and a night. He had only rested for a moment in the middle of the journey.
When he galloped in front of Cao Song, Xu Zhen pulled the reins. Shadowless's front legs were suspended in the air. With a neigh, he stopped in front of the convoy. He glanced at the entire convoy of gold and silver mountains and immediately asked,"Is it the old lord Cao Song?"
"It's me. May I ask this gentleman…"
Cao Song immediately relaxed. It was not some powerful bandit, but a colleague wearing the official uniform of the Han Dynasty. He was very familiar with this uniform. After all, in order to protect himself, he had bought the position of Grand Marshal and wore the official uniform for more than one or two years.
"I am the Lord's Commander of Duty, Commandant of Agriculture Xu Zhen, also known as Yixuan.”
"Xu Zhen? Ahahaha!"
Cao Song was instantly overjoyed and hurriedly got off the carriage. He placed a walking stick on the ground and stood down with his hands behind his back. He revealed a hint of praise towards Xu Zhen.
"I've heard that Lord Xu solved the problem of my son's 300,000 soldiers.”
"If it weren't for you, Yanzhou wouldn't be as rich as it is today!”
Cao De also bowed deeply. Although they were elders of the clan, they still knew how to help Cao Cao win over the hearts of the people around him.
Xu Zhen glanced at the gold and silver carriages and said,""Did the old lord bring all his assets with him on this trip?”
"Yes, this property can help me increase my troops by tens of thousands!”
Cao Song nodded his head repeatedly, looking very happy. His face was glowing red. He probably felt that Cao Cao had made a name for himself now. He was conferred the title of General and his reputation shook Yanzhou. The Tiger Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Troop Cavalry were comparable to the Flying Bear Army of Western Liang.
The family is lucky, and the ancestors are blessed.
"Alright, let's not talk anymore. Old Lord, do you understand the principle that an ordinary man is innocent, but holding a treasure will bring crime?”
"Hmm?"
Cao Song was suddenly stunned.
"Lord Xu, what is the meaning of this?”
Xu Zhen looked around and saw that there were only 20 to 30 guards in the convoy. Moreover, they were servants and not soldiers. He immediately shook his head and said,"With this kind of protection, if a strong person were to make trouble, or if Tao Qian were to intercept them, not only would the gold and silver be lost, but your life would also be in danger.”
" That's impossible." Cao Song laughed loudly." Tao Qian would come to greet me once or twice during the festive season. Moreover, he and I were once officials of the same dynasty. Now that my son has a strong army in Yanzhou and has more than a million dollars, I don't think Tao Qian would be so stupid.”
Xu Zhen looked at his old lord as if he was looking at an idiot. He was probably stupid from doing business. He said,"It's like this. What if Tao Qian takes the risk and disguises himself as a bandit?”
"Hiss…"
Cao Song tugged at his beard. He was nervous and used too much force.
"Or perhaps, he's already old and can't suppress the generals under him. His son doesn't have anyone to lead Xuzhou, so there's a mutiny?”
"Ah?"
Cao Song pulled off a few strands of his pale beard.
Xu Zhen continued," You said it yourself. This gold and silver is enough to support tens of thousands of soldiers. Who wouldn't want it?"!”
"I…I…What should I do now?!”
Cao Song finally began to panic.
Cao De also looked at his father with some complaints. He was really used to peaceful days. He probably didn't know how chaotic the world was. The officials of the same dynasty back then were nothing now.
" Come with me now, Old Lord," Xu Zhen said seriously." Find someone to lead the rest of the carriages and move forward slowly."”
"Ah? You?"
Cao Song looked at Xu Zhen from head to toe and then looked at the convoy of more than 20 people. He felt that it was safer to stay in the convoy.
"You're just a weak scholar. You can't even take care of yourself. How can you protect me?”Cao Song's face was filled with disbelief, and he even muttered…
"Could it be that…you betrayed my son and want to take me as a hostage?”
Xu Zhen frowned and simply lifted Cao Song onto his horse. This strength made everyone else dumbfounded.
Heavens, was this a weak scholar?
"What are you doing! Xu Zhen!" Cao De panicked." Let go of my father!!!”
Xu Zhen glanced at him and walked back to his side. Vanishing Shadow began to gallop, and the dust gradually drifted up.
At this moment, a voice drifted over from afar." If you encounter any obstacles, just abandon your gold and silver and run.”
