"Master, Master, Young Miss is back.”The elderly servant rushed in excitedly.
"What?! Ah Fu, you mean Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji is back?”Cai Yong couldn't believe his ears and asked again.
"Old Master, Young Lady's carriage is outside the residence. If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look.”
His beloved daughter had been lost and found again, so Cai Yong couldn't care less about his image. He rushed out of the door with vigorous steps.
"Zhao Ji, my daughter…" At the front gate of the Cai Residence, Cai Yong was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He stared at the youth on the tall horse.
"Master, it was this warrior who sent the young miss back.”Ah Fu explained.
"Cough, Ah Fu, quickly take Zhang…This warrior, please enter the residence."
Zhang Wu dismounted and followed the servants to the side hall.
Dong Zhuo treated Cai Yong quite well. He had a large courtyard with seven entrances and seven exits, a rockery, and a garden.
The Western Liang Army had just arrived in Chang 'an. It was obvious that they had spent a lot of effort to find such a grand garden in such a short time.
However, Zhang Wu was curious.
Looking at Cai Yong's hesitant expression, he clearly recognized him. How did he recognize him?
Cao Hong appeared to be heartless. He grabbed the snacks on the table and ate them immediately. He drank the tea that the servants brought over.
"Can you be more careful? People like you can't even live past three episodes on television.”
"TV series? What TV series? Ziqian, try it. This tea is really good. It's much better than the lord's private collection.”
Although Cao Hong looked poor, he was just a simple miser. He had plenty of money. The gold at home would go moldy if it wasn't taken out on time.
His interests and hobbies were naturally different from ordinary martial artists. Generals loved wine, but he loved tea.
Zhang Wu was rich now, and he had the priceless Blood Jade Coral in his arms. However, he was still a poor country bumpkin deep down. He really could not learn the tea tasting skills of a scholar.
Cai Yong and his daughter had a chat in the Inner Residence before Shanshan arrived.
As soon as the old man entered, he dismissed the servants and closed the door.
"Zhang Ziqian, how dare you enter Chang 'an alone. Aren't you afraid that the Prime Minister will find out and die without a burial place?”
Cao Hong's eyes narrowed as he put down his teacup and pressed down on the sword at his waist. He didn't care if Cai Yong was a world-famous scholar or not. As long as he found Cai Yong threatening Zhang Wu, he would kill him without hesitation.
"Oh? How did Teacher Cai discover my identity?”
Cai Yong let out a long sigh and sat on the main seat, holding a cup of tea."That day when your hundred cavalry raided the camp, I was beside the emperor's carriage and naturally saw it clearly.”
"Heh, so you're convinced by my heroic spirit. This is simple. Father-in-law, please accept my bow.”
Pa!
Cai Yong slapped the teacup in his hand hard and it fell onto the table, shattering into pieces."Nonsense! You shameless warrior, I haven't investigated you for robbing my daughter's wedding, but you're still spouting nonsense and ruining my daughter's reputation. If you continue to do this, I'll tell the prime minister your whereabouts now.”
The old man was so angry that his beard was almost crooked. Marriage was as simple as child's play when it came from Zhang Wu's mouth.
Zhang Wu was also a little annoyed. He had already discussed this with Cai Yan before.
When she saw Cai Yong, she told him that Zhang Wu had saved her from the bandits, but this unreliable girl confessed everything to her father.
"Was that robbery? That Wei Zhongdao is just a sick ghost. Your daughter will be a widow if she marries him! I'm clearly your daughter's benefactor.”
Cai Yong was speechless. Logically speaking, Zhang Wu was right.
The news of Wei Zhongdao's death was still on the table in his study. The facts had proved that the Wei family of Hedong was not a good match.
Where was Zhang Wu?
Cao Cao's favorite general, the strongest general known to the world, had defeated the Western Liang Army. His body must be in excellent condition. He was also a young hero. In troubled times, it was not difficult for him to leave his name in history, let alone gain fame.
However, Cai Yong would get angry whenever he saw this shameless person.
When he was trying to curry favor with her, he called her Teacher Cai, but when he turned hostile, he became an 'old man'?
It was simply humiliating.
Moreover, marriage was an important matter. It was the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How could they ask for it in person like this?
"If this old man says it can't be done, then it can't be done. Quickly leave, this old man will pretend that I've never seen you.”
"Father!" The door of the side hall was pushed open. Cai Yan was crying her eyes out. She had been eavesdropping outside the door. When Cai Yong said no, she subconsciously pushed the door open.
Cao Hong stood up awkwardly." Ahem, Ziqian, I'm going to the door to get some fresh air. You guys chat first."”
The quarrel between the son-in-law had nothing to do with him. He stood there as if he was listening to the wall. It was too awkward.
"Daughter, don't mention this matter again."
"No, I can't! Yan 'er, don't marry that Wei Zhongdao. I, I want to marry Zhang Ziqian and forget about my father.”
"Evil daughter, how dare you say such shameless words!”
After the initial panic, Cai Yan raised his head firmly."If father doesn't allow it, daughter will ask Ziqian to bring me out of the residence. I believe the servants in the residence won't be able to stop him.”
"Nonsense! Are you trying to imitate the Sima Zhuoshi of the early Han Dynasty?”
"Ziqian is not Sima Xiangru, and your daughter is not Zhuo Wenjun. Father, don't force me.”
Cai Yong was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Zhang Wu. It was not that he really looked down on Zhang Wu. Besides, Wei Zhongdao was already dead, so there was no obstacle between them. It was just that this kid's etiquette was not good enough, so Cai Yong threatened him.
It was all good now.
His daughter had just returned home and he had yet to enjoy his family. If he really eloped with someone, wouldn't the family be broken up again?
"Alright, Zhao Ji, don't beg him! Back then, I said that I would get the imperial edict from the emperor to betroth you to me.”Zhang Wu stood up and went out of the room. He took the Overlord Spear from the weapon rack and said,"I'll go find the little Emperor now."
"Warrior! Brat!" Cai Yong was so angry that he almost cursed. This was the Western Liang Army's encampment. If he really let this kid go to the palace, would he still be alive?
Seeing her daughter's deeply rooted love, would she be able to live if Zhang Wu died?
"Come back! Come back! This old man only said that your etiquette is not complete, not that you are not allowed to get married!”
At the same time that Cai Yong relented, Zhang Wu casually threw the Overlord Spear aside and smiled as he bowed 90 degrees,""I've long heard of Teacher Cai's righteousness. Father-in-law, please accept my bow.”
"Humph!"
He turned hostile faster than flipping a book. Where did Cao Cao find this monster?
