"The Cao Residence is still the same."
After sitting down, Fang Xuanling looked around and felt a little emotional.
"Yes, I have some memories of this place.”
Li Jing echoed.
The few families were on good terms, so it was common for them to visit Cao Cao when they were young.
"May I know where Apothecary is working now?”
Fang Xuanling suddenly asked.
"I'm still the same. I'm still an official in the First Bureau of Bing Province.”
Li Jing smiled bitterly at the mention of this matter.
"Apothecary…"
Others might not know, but Cao Feng knew why this family friend was willing to live in mediocrity.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, an official position that could allow them to live comfortably was worthless in the eyes of others.
"What about Brother Xuanling?"
Li Jing put away the sadness in his eyes and said.
"I have already resigned."
Fang Xuanling felt helpless.
"Looks like the two of us are in the same boat.”
Li Jing laughed and joked.
"Yes, Brother Cao is still the best. He started a family at a young age and is about to marry an amazing wife.”
Fang Xuanling then looked at Cao Feng.
"The two of you are too serious. There are some changes to the engagement banquet this time.”
Cao Feng waved his hand.
"What do you mean?"
When the two of them heard this, they were stunned.
"It's like this…"
Because they had a good relationship, Cao Feng told him the truth about Li Xiu Ning.
"Preposterous!"
Li Jing frowned and shouted angrily.
Fortunately, today was not the engagement banquet, so there were not many people present. Otherwise, everyone would pay attention to the commotion here and inevitably break the festive atmosphere.
"How can the Li family do this? Li Xiu Ning's actions are also inconsistent with the rumors.”
Fang Xuanling's brows were tightly knitted, his expression extremely displeased.
"The Cao and Li families are old friends. Hasn't Li Xiu Ning considered the consequences?”
Li Jing's emotions kept rising. The relationship between the Cao family and the Li family could be traced back to three generations.
It could be said that this relationship was no small matter. It surpassed the friendship between their fathers.
They had all sincerely wished the engagement banquet well. They really did not expect this to happen.
"Then Brother Cao, what do you plan to do?”
Fang Xuanling asked with concern.
"How can Li Xiu Ning be worthy of me?”
Immediately after, the ambition in his words stunned Li Jing for a moment.
"Thus, I chose Zhangsun Wugou, and the engagement banquet will proceed as usual.”
At this point, Cao Feng smiled.
"That's good."
Fang Xuanling's expression immediately brightened. Of course, the two of them were shocked by the change in their good friend's temperament.
Furthermore, it was said that Zhangsun Wugou was good at playing the zither, chess, and calligraphy, and was famous for being a daughter of a wealthy family.
Compared to Li Xiuning, Cao Feng was a more suitable wife. They were sincerely happy for Cao Feng.
"I wonder what plans the two of you have in the future?”
Cao Feng asked.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to see the abilities of the legendary God of War and the peerless Prime Minister.
"The situation in the world is rather chaotic. It won't be easy to find a way out.”
Speaking of which, Li Jing seemed quite confused.
"Yes, there are rebel armies everywhere, and the foreign invasion is also very serious.”
Fang Xuanling agreed with his words.
"Actually, an expedition shouldn't be fought like this. It's not worth it to use the big to fight the small.”
Li Jing opened his mouth and his eyes flickered.
"Looks like Brother Li has his own unique insights.”
Cao Feng's interest was piqued.
"Goguryeo is too far away, and the expedition route is long.”
"Even if you want to fight, you have to do it step by step.”
Fang Xuanling listened attentively as he explained further.
"Great Sui's strength is strong, and it can completely exhaust Goguryeo.”
Li Jing continued.
As soon as he said this, Cao Feng praised him in his heart. As expected of the War God of the future.
What he had just said was the main strategy he would use to destroy Goguryeo in the future.
"Wonderful."
Fang Xuanling clapped.
"Then Brother Xuanling, what do you think of the current world?”
Li Jing looked at Fang Xuanling.
"The people are furious, mainly because of the lack of food and displacement.”
"If we can stabilize the people's hearts and restore food production, it would be perfect for us to capture Goguryeo.”
Fang Xuanling muttered.
"Not bad."
Li Jing smiled in agreement.
"Once Goguryeo wins, the imperial family will regain its dignity and the hearts of the people will be united.”
The combination of civil and military ideas made people's eyes light up.
"What the two of you have said is truly wonderful."
These words were true. Cao Feng nodded.
The talents of these two people were so outstanding today, they could indeed become the foundation of the team in the future.
"Haha, I've embarrassed myself in front of Brother Cao.”
After chatting for a while, Cao Feng got up and went to do other things.
This was because other people came to visit one after another. They were all truly on good terms with the Cao family or had been helped by the Cao family.
There was no lack of ordinary people among them. The Cao Manor was no longer as cold and cheerless as before, and it became slightly lively.
“......”
At the same time, in the Li Residence.
Li Shi Min and his brothers had been acting strangely recently.
The three of them didn't quarrel. Instead, they stayed in Jing Yuan peacefully.
"Ta Ta…"
Li Jiancheng paced back and forth in the pavilion with a frown.
"Why hasn't Duan Zhixuan returned yet? If father finds out, the three of us will be punished.”
he said anxiously.
"That's right. Since we set off last night, we should be here by today at the latest.”
Li Shi Min was also confused.
The Cao family was a declining family. Including the servants in the mansion, there were only about ten people.
They had sent out hundreds of people.
On the surface, they were the Li family's guards, but in reality, they were private soldiers trained by the Li family to prepare for a rebellion.
These people had all gone through formal training. It was completely easy for them to deal with ten ordinary people.
He said that he would be the latest the next day. Under normal circumstances, he would probably be back by midnight.
"Could it be that after Duan Zhixuan finished his business, he went to do something else?”
Li Yuanji guessed.
"Impossible. With Duan Zhixuan's personality, he would come back to report as soon as he finished his task.”
Li Shi Min said firmly.
"Since that's the case, I'm afraid there's a sudden change.”
Then, he was shocked. If there was a problem, it could be explained.
"Impossible. This Cao Feng is weak. How can he cause trouble?”
"Then let's wait and see. When Duan Zhixuan comes back, we'll ask him.”
Li Jiancheng shook his head.
"This is the only way."
Li Shimin thought about it carefully. Judging from Cao Feng's weak appearance, he didn't think Duan Zhixuan would fail.
“………”
Li Jiancheng and the others did not expect that not only the hundreds of private soldiers of the Li family had become corpses.
Duan Zhixuan's head had been chopped off and would be sent over after Cao Feng's engagement banquet.
Li Shimin did not expect that Zhangsun Wugou, who he had been longing for, would become one of the main characters of the engagement banquet.
