Cai Yan and Cao Cao were old acquaintances and would occasionally sit together to discuss poetry. After hearing Cao Cao's name, he was not as afraid.
She rolled down a small corner of the car window, frowned, and asked angrily,""Today is my wedding day, why do I need Brother Meng De to save me?”
Come on, at your age, you're almost like a daughter. Brother Meng De? Aren't you afraid of calling yourself old? I wonder what this talented woman is thinking.
Zhang Wu cupped his hands expressionlessly. Since he had made up a lie, he had to finish it no matter what."My lord has received news that Wei Zhongdao from the east of the river is a person with lung consumption and will die soon.”
"Brother Meng De, how dare you insult my reputation like this!”Seeing that Cai Yan was about to use his head to hit the wooden railing of the carriage, Zhang Wu hurriedly interrupted.
"Wait, wait!"
Zhang Wu had long heard that Han Dynasty women were unyielding. He was really afraid that Cai Yan would suddenly take things too hard and thought of how to quickly change the topic. His eyes turned and saw the little servant girl protecting Cai Yan.
Xia Zhu was frightened, but her instinct to protect her master did not allow her to retreat. She could only grit her teeth and hold on, hoping that this demon who killed without blinking would let go of their pitiful master and servant.
Zhang Wu pointed at Xia Zhu.""That Cai Yan young lady, do you need to kill this servant girl to silence her?”
"How dare you!"
"If you don't shout or call me, I will naturally ensure the safety of your master and servant, but"
Zhang Wu deliberately revealed a troubled expression. Cai Yan was indeed fooled, stammering and losing his imposing manner.
Similarly, it was Cai Yan's first time seeing such a terrifying military riot. Just now, his unyielding spirit completely relied on a surge of strength. Now that this surge of strength had passed, he naturally felt a lingering fear.
"Then... Alright then, take me to see Brother Meng De.”
On the other side, Cao Cao was still wondering why Zhang Wu had been gone for so long. He was about to send someone to take a look, but when he returned to the camp, he was so frightened that his eyes almost fell out.
In his camp, Zhang Wu lowered his head and stood at the side. It was a rare moment of silence.
What was going on with the two women in the middle of the camp?
If it was an ordinary woman, Cao Cao would have turned a blind eye and pretended not to see her. After all, she was a young man, and it was inevitable that she would be a little angry. He was already married when he was Zhang Wu's age, and the other party was his beloved general. It was fine as long as he could get away with it.
But he recognized this woman!
The only daughter of the great scholar Cai Yong, the number one talented woman in the capital, Cai Yan!
Cao Cao felt his scalp go numb, and a wave of anger rushed to the top of his head.
"Brother Meng De! Don't you need to give me an explanation?”
"Me? What does Zhao Ji want me to explain?"
Zhang Wu quickly jumped out." My lord, didn't you say that Wei Zhongdao is a sickly man? Miss Cai Yan will become a widow if she marries him. Did you ask me to kidnap her?"”
If Cao Cao still didn't understand what had happened, then he wasn't worthy of being a hero in a chaotic world.
This kid must have mistaken the wedding team for Lu Bu. After making a fool of himself, he decided to go all out and rob the wedding team. Now, he came here to clean up his mess!
However, Cao Cao couldn't take this big pot.
It was not a big deal to offend the Wei family of Hedong. There were so many aristocratic families in the world. If this family did not support Cao Mengde, there would naturally be others who would support him. However, this girl was the daughter of the great scholar Cai Yong. Once the news spread, Cao Cao's reputation would be completely ruined. At that time, those self-righteous scholars would not be willing to rely on him!
Without talent, could he rely on a few stragglers to pacify the world?
"Brother Meng De! What else do you have to say!"
Zhang Wu snickered at the side. He found that Cai Yan was a little interesting. She was a familiar person.
Her face had turned pale from fright just now, but after seeing Cao Cao, who she was familiar with, she became a proud little rooster again.
Cao Cao saw that the culprit was still laughing heartlessly, and his lungs were about to explode.
"Zhao Ji, I…"
"I appreciate Brother Meng De's intentions, but marriage should naturally follow the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Since I've promised Wei Zhongdao, I'm his wife. Whether he lives or dies, it's Zhao Ji's fate. Now, order someone to send me to the Wei family in the east of the river. I'll pretend that nothing happened. On the way, it was the bandits who robbed the convoy. It was your subordinates who happened to save me.”
Cai Yan was very smart. She immediately grasped the crux of the problem.
Cao Cao immediately wanted to agree, but someone disagreed.
Zhang Wu slammed the table and jumped up. I have no reason to let go of the people I kidnapped!”
"General, what are your intentions?”
Looking at Cao Cao's bitter face, Zhang Wu knew that he couldn't take it anymore. He could only change to another scapegoat."Cai Yan, right? Let me ask you, is it the words of a matchmaker or the words of the Son of Heaven?”
"Heaven, earth, monarch, teacher, naturally the Son of Heaven is the greatest.”
"What if the emperor forbids you from marrying Wei Zhongdao?”
"Tian Zi?" Cai Yan smiled bitterly,"How could I dare to disturb the emperor with such a small matter like the marriage of a commoner's daughter?"”
"Let me tell you, the emperor has promised you to me.”
Cai Yan did not know whether to be angry or laugh. This youth looked refined and delicate, how was he a scoundrel?
"When did the emperor betroth me to you?”
" Wait here." Zhang Wu patted his chest." I'll bring the imperial edict back in two days."”
The current emperor was just a toy. If Zhang Wu could snatch him back from Dong Zhuo, it would not be a problem to ask for an imperial edict. Even if they couldn't save him, they would naturally compromise when Dong Zhuo was killed.
When the time came, Dong Pangpang could write whatever was written on the imperial edict.
Cai Yan lightly spat,"You're bragging, aren't you ashamed?"”
"Girl, you're so ignorant. What's so good about marrying that sickly Wei Zhongdao? I'm saving you.”
Cao Cao wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhang Wu's serious expression, he swallowed his words.
He was already someone who had many wives and concubines. Needless to say, Zhang Wu must have taken a fancy to Cai Yan. Otherwise, with his generous personality, why would he care about being legitimate?
They had already stolen the wedding car, so why did they still need the emperor's imperial edict?
He was acting so tough now because he hadn't realized that he had already fallen in love with the girl in front of him. That was why he wanted to protect her reputation.
It was good to be young.
It was a waste of a young man if he was not romantic. When the time came, it might even become a good story.
"Zhao Ji, it's chaotic outside now. Even if I want to send you to the east of the river, I don't know what will happen. Why don't you rest here for two days?”
Cao Cao finally gave the final word. Cai Yan still wanted to say something, but he had already left the camp.
Cao Cao couldn't remember how many times he had chosen to compromise after Zhang Wu appeared.
He only knew that if he did not favor Zhang Wudang as a junior, this itchy kid would have been killed by him long ago. After all, he was not a soft-hearted person.
Having a pair of women in the military camp was definitely inconvenient. Zhang Wu naturally couldn't sleep in his own tent, so he decided not to sleep. At night, he would guard the tent and practice his spear.
