The night was silent.
However, many people in Juan City could not sleep at night.
Early the next morning, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Cao Ren and the rest followed Cao Cao to the Xiao Manor with panda eyes.
"As expected!"
Xun Yu was secretly shocked.
The teacher that Cao Cao spoke of was actually a youth who was not even twenty years old.
It was no wonder that Xiao Bei had boasted to him in front of the residence that Yanzhou was unstable and had even come to Juan City in advance.
"Dian Wei!"
Cao Cao straightened his clothes.
His heart was filled with anxiety, not daring to confirm whether Xiao Bei was an official or not.
"Clang!"
As Dian Wei knocked on the door.
A gap opened up in the huge Xiao Manor.
Gan Mei looked at Cao Cao and the other civil and military officials as she said with a pale face,""General…General Cao, my young master is still drunk. However, he gave the order yesterday that if General Cao comes here today, he will sell 50,000 dans of grain to you for 500 gold taels for every 1,000 dans.”
"Fifty thousand dan?"
Xi Zhicai was a little confused.
The generals were also excited. Who would have thought that a small manor would actually store 50,000 dan of grain?
"Xiao Mei!"
"Fifty thousand stone grain, when did you buy it?" Cao Cao asked with a complicated expression.”
"Hmm?"
Gan Mei scratched her head and said," After Old Master left, Young Master used most of his wealth to trade food with Xu Prefecture's Mi Family and Wuji's Zhen Family. At the same time, he also bought this residence. After buying it, he dismissed the servants and merchants in the residence!”
"Impossible!"
This time, Cao Cao was truly shocked.
Xiao Hui died at the end of last year. At that time, Xiao Bei thought that he would be defeated here?
This kind of thinking had already exceeded the scope of humans. It was absolutely impossible for anyone to scheme to such an extent.
This was because he had welcomed Cao Song after pacifying the Yanzhou war. It was just a last-minute idea and he had not made it public.
"General Cao!"
"Are you buying or not?"
Gan Mei's heart was pounding as she gritted her teeth and asked.
She didn't expect that the Mr. Meng she knew was Cao Mengde!
"My lord!"
"Brother!"
Xi Zhicai, Cao Ren, and the others were extremely anxious.
50,000 dans of rations could solve all their current problems. If they missed it, they would lose it.
"Wait!"
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said resolutely," How can Xiao Bei's talent be compared to 50,000 dans of rations? If I have him as my mastermind, all the difficulties can be solved. 50,000 dans of rations is nothing. Today, I will wait for him to wake up here!”
Xun Yu said with a complicated expression,"If Xiao Bei is an official, he will be in Chen Liu!"”
Cheng Yu said solemnly,"An uncertain Xiao Bei, and a 50,000-dan grain that is easily obtainable. My lord, you must not act on impulse!"”
"My lord!"
Xi Zhicai added," Betting everything on a single person is not the doing of the Lord. With 50,000 dan of rations, we have hope of taking back Yanzhou. If we miss it, we will lose everything!”
"My lord!"
Cao Ren, Yu Jin, and the others shouted again.
"You guys!"
Cao Cao swept his gaze across the crowd.
At this moment, everyone was refuting his decision.
It seemed that this was a test, similar to what Xiao Bei had said back then.
If he entered the shogunate, he would definitely be ostracized by all parties. Now, he had not even entered, but the civil and military officials under him were already forcing him to give up on inviting Xiao Bei to be an official.
It turned out that this feeling was not much different from when he used his body to feed the tiger. It was as if he was the enemy of the world.
"My lord!"
Dian Wei said with a gloomy expression.
"You also want to deny my decision?" Cao Cao asked hoarsely.”
Dian Wei shook his head and grinned."I want to say that since you have made up your mind, you will not regret it. When we were fighting in Xu Prefecture, the young mister was able to give up the Chen Liu ancestral residence and bring Zhongkang and the others to Juancheng.”
"Ha!"
"Haha!"
Cao Cao laughed and said no more.
When the civil and military officials saw this, they could only wait behind him.
"Clang!"
The doors of the Xiao Manor were closed once again.
Xun Yu shook his head and sighed. His gaze fell on Cao Cao and he smiled bitterly,""My lord, this is really the end of the road!”
"No!"
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said,"Xinzhi once said that there will be a way out when the car comes to the mountain. He can do things that we can't. Today, he deserves our courtesy. If he is really Zhao Kuo who talks on paper, I won't let him off even if you don't say anything!"”
"Here!"
Xun Yu agreed.
This was the Cao Mengde he knew.
Youcai, it's only right to treat you with courtesy. If you're not talented and arrogant, then I'm sorry.
Two hours passed.
The sun was already high up in the sky.
A weak person like Xi Zhicai already felt like he was on the verge of collapse.
Four hours!
Xun Yu and Cheng Yu could not take it anymore.
Six hours.
The generals were also shaking.
Only Cao Cao and Dian Wei stood straight in front of the manor.
"Crazy!"
"They're all crazy!"
Cao Chun muttered to himself.
Cao Ren had a complicated look in his eyes as he had never seen Cao Cao like this before. He said fiercely,""Elder brother really bet everything on Xiao Xinzhi. If this person is just a facade, I will skin him alive!”
It was almost the end of the day.
Everyone's vision began to blur.
At this moment, the gates of the Xiao Manor opened once again.
Cao Cao shouted in a daze,""Cao Mengde, I respectfully invite you to be an official!”
If the big shots didn't have free flowers or tickets, they could deduct a 1 in the comments section to let the author know that someone was watching.
It had been almost 24 hours since the book was published, and there were only two big shots in the comments section. The author was panicking!
