The jailers 'expressions changed drastically, and they looked at Wang Yun with pleading eyes.
Wang Yun's expression was also a little ugly.
He didn't expect Hwa Xiong to not give him any face.
"Wen Hou, they are only following my orders. Don't make things difficult for them.”
Wang Yun said.
"It's fine if we don't make things difficult for them, but I have to take Cai Yong away today.”Hwa Xiong said softly.
"Cai Yong is crying for Thief Dong. He is clearly in cahoots with the rebels and must be severely punished!”
"He cried for Dong Zhuo, which means that he knows how to be grateful.”
Hwa Xiong said calmly.
Seeing Hwa Xiong so insistent, Wang Yun frowned.
"I heard that Wen Hou and Cai Wenji have an ambiguous relationship. Are you going to stand up for her?”
"That's right. I admire Cai Wenji, so I can't bear to see her without a father.”
"Is that admiration? That's called coveting her body. You're cheap!”
"Wang Situ, am I unable to wield the saber, or are you too arrogant?”
Hwa Xiong said coldly.
Damn it, Wang Yun, you old man, how dare you say that about me?
Wang Yun's heart pounded wildly when he saw his cold gaze.
He then remembered that Hwa Xiong was extremely powerful and controlled most of Chang 'an's army.
If both sides really fell out, he was afraid that he would not have a good ending!
Wang Yun squeezed out a smile.
"Wen Hou, I don't mean anything else. If you do this, where will my adopted daughter Diao Chan go?”
"Only children make multiple choice questions. I want adults to make choices too!”
Wang Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Hwa Xiong's shameless words.
Hwa Xiong said seriously,
"Godfather, I'm actually doing this for your own good.”
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
"Cai Yong is extremely famous. All the scholars in the world admire him. If you kill him, I'm afraid you'll incur the disgust of all the scholars in the world.”
"You killed Cai Yong just because he was crying for Dong Zhuo. What would Li Jue and the other old generals of Western Liang think? One had to know that they had nearly 100,000 troops in their hands!”
Hwa Xiong's words made Wang Yun break out in a cold sweat.
That's right, Cai Yong's prestige was extremely high. If he killed him, he would probably be scolded by others.
Li Jue and the other old generals of Western Liang would probably feel uneasy, and there might even be a rebellion!
"Many thanks for Wen Hou's reminder, this old man almost made a mistake.”
Wang Yun quickly cupped his hands at Hwa Xiong.
"Godfather, you don't have to be so polite. We're family after all.”
Hwa Xiong held Wang Yun affectionately.
Since he had persuaded Wang Yun, Hua Xiong then smoothly took Cai Yong out of the prison.
Fortunately, with Lu Bu taking care of him, Cai Yong did not suffer much.
However, his face was a little pale and his clothes were ragged.
"Thank you Wen Hou for saving me."
Cai Yong looked at Hwa Xiong gratefully.
"Lord Cai, don't be so polite with me. Wenji is still waiting for you at home.”
Hwa Xiong laughed.
The group returned to the Cai Residence.
Upon hearing that her father had returned, Cai Wenji hurriedly ran out of the manor to welcome him.
"Father!"
Cai Wenji looked at her haggard father and said with heartache.
"I'm fine, thanks to Wen Hou. If it wasn't for him, I'm afraid my old bones would have been broken in prison.”
Cai Yong smiled bitterly.
Cai Wenji looked at Hwa Xiong, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude, apology, and affection.
"Thank you, Wen Hou!"
"Hehe, there's no need to be so polite. Let's go in and talk.”
Hwa Xiong laughed.
The three of them sat down in the hall.
"Lord Cai, do you have any plans after coming out this time?”Hwa Xiong asked.
Cai Yong shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Forget it, officialdom is dangerous. I plan to retire and return to my hometown."
"That won't do." Hwa Xiong said seriously," Lord Cai is now in the prime of his life, and it is time for him to serve the country. How can he retreat after such a small blow?”
"Oh? What does Wen Hou mean?"
Cai Yong looked at Hwa Xiong in confusion.
"Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, everything in Chang 'an City has been revived. Lord Cai could totally handle the court affairs with Wang Situ.”
"This…This…Can Wang Situ agree?”
Cai Yong looked worried.
A few days ago, Wang Yun was planning to kill him. In the blink of an eye, he was going to manage the country with him. How could he agree?
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me! I wonder if Lord Cai is willing?"
Hua Xiong looked at Cai Yong with bright eyes.
"Since Wen Hou has spoken, how can this old man refuse? I promise you!"
All scholars had the idea of cultivating their moral character and ruling the country.
Since there was such an opportunity, Cai Yong naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Thank you, Wen Hou."
Cai Yong was grateful, the more he looked at Hua Xiong, the more he found him pleasing to the eye.
If it wasn't for Hwa Xiong, he might still be in prison.
Now, not only did he escape from prison, but he was also likely to be on equal footing with Wang Yun.
Hwa Xiong chuckled.
He had thought it through before appointing Cai Yong.
The imperial court lacked talents, especially those that could be trusted.
Cai Yong was so sentimental towards Dong Zhuo. If he put him in an important position, he would definitely be able to gain his loyalty.
In addition, Hua Xiong did not want to let Wang Situ control the power of the court alone.
This way, he would inevitably have some trouble in the future.
"Then Lord Cai, have a good rest.”
Hwa Xiong stood up.
"Wenji, quickly send Wen Hou off.”
Cai Yong wasn't a fool. He could tell the affection in his daughter's eyes towards Hua Xiong, so he asked Cai Wenji to send him off.
The two of them slowly walked in the Cai Residence's garden.
" Wen Hou, thank you so much…" Cai Wenji said softly.
"How many times have you said thank you today?”Hwa Xiong laughed." Is there a need to be polite between us?”
He didn't care about the servants passing by and pulled Cai Wenji into his arms.
"How do you plan to compensate me for your previous misunderstanding?”
Cai Wenji's small face was shy as she gently closed her eyes.
"Wenji…is willing to be punished by Wen Hou…"
Her voice trembled with a hint of teasing, as if she was ready to be plucked.
Hwa Xiong's heart was burning as he watched. He only wished that he could execute Cai Wenji on the spot.
"Little girl, I'll remember this for you. We'll settle this score another day.”
Hwa Xiong scratched her nose and pecked her red lips before letting go of her.
"Wenji, wait for Wen Hou's punishment."
Cai Wenji said sweetly, her beautiful eyes looking at Hwa Xiong flirtatiously.
……
After Dong Zhuo's death, the court meeting became once every three days.
Early in the morning, Hwa Xiong brought Hu Zi and the rest of his bodyguards and swaggered into the Imperial Palace.
Even though the law stated that weapons were not allowed to enter the hall.
However, the officials acted as if they did not see the weapons on Hwa Xiong, Hu Zi, and the others.
Instead, he came forward with an affectionate expression.
"Good morning, Wen Hou."
"Wen Hou, you're here."
Hwa Xiong pretended to be reserved and nodded.
Soon, Emperor Liu Xie arrived with his eunuchs.
The court session officially began.
Although the Emperor was present, Liu Xie was still a child.
The important matters in the court were first proposed by the officials, then discussed and finally decided by Wang Yun and Cai Yong.
"Everyone, now that Chang 'an is short of food, what should we do?”
