"Is this an urn?"
Su Yi stared at the wooden box and said.
"No, no, no!"
Da Qiao shook his head." I owe you a favor, Young Master. How could I dare to give you a bone helmet box?"”
Da Qiao carefully opened the wooden box.
A jade item appeared.
Da Qiao lifted it up as if it was a precious treasure and brought it in front of Su Yi.
Su Yi took it and sized it up.
This object is four inches in circumference, with five dragons on the top, and a corner is missing, which is inlaid with gold.
Looking carefully, there were eight Qin seal characters engraved on the front,"Ordered by Heaven, Longevity Yongchang".
"Young Master is knowledgeable and talented. You should be able to tell what this is, right?”
Da Qiao asked with a smile.
"This is the Imperial Jade Seal!"
Su Yi's expression changed slightly. He raised his head and looked at Da Qiao."Isn't this Yuan Shu's? Why is it in your hands?”
Da Qiao did not answer. Instead, he bent his knees and knelt down towards Su Yi.
"What are you doing?"
Su Yi's eyes were filled with doubt.
" To tell you the truth," Da Qiao said with a guilty expression," Wan 'er hid her true identity from Young Master. I'm sorry, Young Master. Please forgive me."”
"True identity?"
Su Yi helped her up,"Then tell me, what exactly is your background?"”
"My name is Qiao Wan, and I am Qiao Rui, a general under Yuan Shu.”
She silently said her real name.
Su Yi's eyes moved and he asked curiously,"You're actually Qiao Rui's daughter? Are you the rumored Second Qiao?"”
"That's right."
Da Qiao nodded." My sister's name is Qiao Qing. When we are together, we are called Second Qiao."”
Su Yi's eyes flickered as he sized up this beautiful woman in front of him.
No wonder she had such a beautiful face. It turned out that she was Da Qiao, one of the two Qiao's. She was also a beauty who left her name in history.
Logically speaking, she should have been kidnapped by Sun Ce and forced to marry him.
"It seems like I've changed history a little. That little tyrant of River East has been cut off by me."
Su Yi's thoughts flew around, and he was momentarily lost.
"Young Master ~~"
Qiao Wan called out softly.
Su Yi retracted his thoughts and asked again,"Then why is this Imperial Jade Seal in your hands?”
"It was Yuan Shu who was licentious and immoral. Shouchun was besieged, and my father worked hard to defend the city for him.”
"On the day the old city fell, in a fit of anger, father snatched Yuan Shu's Imperial Jade Seal and fled with us sisters.”
"After that, we were chased by the Cao army. I was separated from my father and sister and was shot by an arrow.”
"At that time, this Imperial Jade Seal was hidden in the carriage I was sitting in, so it was used by me.”
Da Qiao didn't hide it anymore and told Long Qumai the truth.
"What a coincidence."
Su Yi sighed with emotion, but he asked in puzzlement,"You hid your identity before, so why don't you hide it now? You even want to give me a treasure like the Imperial Jade Seal?”
"Because I'm the daughter of the guilty general and I have a treasure like the Imperial Jade Seal, how could I dare to tell the truth before I know the background and intentions of Young Master?”
"But now, Young Master has saved my life. These days, Young Master has been caring for me and has taken care of me in every way.”
"I can also see that Young Master has no interest in fame. He only wants to live in seclusion in the countryside and live a carefree life.”
"Under such circumstances, Wan 'er dared to tell the truth.”
Da Qiao explained. When he mentioned Su Yi's care for her, he could not help but feel a little dizzy and shy.
Su Yi understood.
She was afraid that he would offer her and this Imperial Jade Seal to obtain an official position and title.
However, after knowing that he had no intention of becoming an official and was focused on living in seclusion, he dispelled this doubt.
"By giving me this Imperial Jade Seal, you're giving me a hot potato.”
Su Yi played with the jade seal in his hand and said, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Da Qiao smiled." This item symbolizes the destiny of the heavens. Many dukes dream of it, but they can't ask for it. Young Master, why do you have a headache after obtaining such a treasure?"”
"As you said, this is the dream of those dukes. I'm just an idle villager. What's the use of having it?”
Su Yi asked.
Da Qiao was stunned, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.""That's right. Wan 'er only wanted to give you a big gift as a way to repay you. She didn't think too much about it…"
"Forget it, forget it. It's still your kind intention.”
Su Yi smiled again,"I will accept this Imperial Jade Seal. As for you, you can stay here with me in peace. You don't have to worry that I will give you up. As for your identity, just let me know."”
"Wan 'er thanks Young Master ~~"
Da Qiao smiled happily and bowed to Su Yi again.
Su Yi instructed her to continue recuperating while he carried the imperial jade seal and left.
He returned to the courtyard, stared at the jade seal in his hand, and muttered,""To me, this thing is no different from a brick. A brick can even smash walnuts…"
At the mention of walnuts, Su Yi glanced at the plate on the stone table.
He had an idea and picked a big one. He picked up the Imperial Jade Seal and smashed it.
"Crack!"
The walnut cracked.
"You can really smash walnuts. Not bad, you can be considered to have recycled waste.”
Su Yi threw the jade seal to the side and began to eat the walnuts.
At this moment, outside the Su residence.
Cao Cao was already dressed in his usual clothes, bringing along Xi Zhicai and Dian Wei as he appeared outside the manor.
Two months ago, Liu Bei had sent Mi Zhu to the capital to befriend Cao Cao and deal with Lu Bu together.
Because Cao Cao was busy dealing with Yuan Shu, he had put this matter on hold. Now that the army had returned, it was naturally brought up.
Among the strategists, some advocated accepting Liu Bei's secret allegiance and could take the opportunity to win him over.
Some people believed that Liu Bei was the herdsman of Xuzhou and was once an enemy of Cao Cao, so they could not trust him.
Cao Cao was unable to make a decision, so he decided to leave the capital to ask for his son-in-law's opinion.
"Zhicai, we have to speed up the search for the whereabouts of the Imperial Jade Seal. We can't let it fall into the hands of others, especially Yuan Shao!”
Cao Cao warned in a low voice.
"Sikong, don't worry," Xi Caizhi said."I've already sent the Secret Investigation Division to search the area.”
Cao Cao nodded slightly. Seeing that the Su Residence had arrived, he called Dian Wei to knock on the door.
He was also an old acquaintance, and he was also Su Yi's father-in-law, so the guards welcomed him in politely.
Cao Cao came all the way to the courtyard and saw Su Yi drinking wine and eating walnuts. He was very relaxed.
"Virtuous son-in-law, you're quite carefree.”
Cao Cao walked forward with a smile.
When Su Yi saw that Cao Cao had arrived, he stood up to welcome him and said with a smile,"Why is father-in-law so free to visit my son-in-law?”
Cao Cao said unhappily," You still dare to say that you suddenly wanted to go on a long journey. You didn't even call me and left for two months. When you came back, you didn't even report that you were safe."”
"I should tell father-in-law that I'm safe. This is my fault. Take this glass of wine as my apology.”
Su Yi poured a glass of wine for Cao Cao and offered it with a smile.
Naturally, Cao Cao did not really blame him. He downed the wine in one gulp, and his expression turned from dark to bright.
The son-in-law sat down.
Su Yi smiled and said,"Father-in-law, this walnut is a specialty of Huainan. Father-in-law, try it."”
As he spoke, he picked up the Imperial Jade Seal and smashed a walnut for Cao Cao.
