" But then again, if Sikong really wants to reward me, I do have a favor to ask of you…"
Zhao Yang said calmly.
At this moment, he also realized that if he really didn't make any requests at this time, Cao Cao might be worried.
Cao Cao was very good at controlling people, which was the legendary "Emperor's Mind".
For a person like Cao Cao, the last thing he wanted was for his subordinates to be people who had no desires.
And the ones they hoped for the most were those who had needs.
In order to not arouse Cao Cao's suspicion, he had to show his needs in certain aspects.
As he expected, the doubt in Cao Cao's eyes disappeared and he said,
"Hmm? Qing Feng, if you have anything you want, just ask.”
"Sir, you have made such a great contribution to our army. Do you want gold, silver, jade, or fertile land and beautiful women?”
Zhao Yang couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart.
If he said this ten years later, Zhao Yang would take it that he was sincere.
But now, he was saying something like this?
Cao Cao was only a Sikong, and his subordinates had very little territory. Moreover, there were many warlords like Yuan Shao nearby.
Even the military counselor, Chancellor Guo Jia, had just entered the camp not long ago.
With the current chaotic situation, how could there be gold, silver, jade, fertile land, and beautiful women to reward?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yang cupped his hands and said,"
"I don't dare."
"I didn't come to serve Sikong just to earn a living.”
"I have another idea…I want to be Sikong's son-in-law.”
After saying this, everyone else present was completely stunned.
Especially the military chancellor Guo Jia, he couldn't maintain the expression on his face and his defense was broken.
He was the one who appreciated Zhao Yang the most among them.
In his opinion, Zhao Yang was definitely an outstanding talent with great ambitions.
However, she never expected Zhao Yang to suddenly say something like this!
He did all these things just to become the son-in-law of the Cao Family?!
Zhao Yang's words also confused Cao Cao.
He looked at Zhao Yang with a face full of question marks and said,"
"Sir, are you joking with me?”
Zhao Yang said solemnly,"
"Sikong, I'm definitely not joking.”
"I also know that Sikong's eldest daughter, Qinghe, has reached the age of marriage.”
"I've admired him for a long time. If Sikong is willing, I'm very willing to be the live-in son-in-law of the Sikong family.”
At this moment, a young general standing beside Cao Cao could no longer sit still.
"What nonsense are you talking about?”
Cao Cao coughed lightly and said,"
"Zixiu, don't be so rude!”
The young general could only lower his head when he heard this, but his eyes were clearly filled with hostility.
Cao Zixiu?
Hearing this name, Zhao Yang could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Cao Ang was Cao Cao's eldest son, and also his most beloved son!
It was Cao Ang, who had died tragically in Wan City with Dian Wei in order to protect Cao Cao!
He did not expect her to be so young now.
If it was him, then he could not be blamed for having such a big reaction.
Qinghe was Cao Ang's sister from the same mother. It would be strange if Cao Ang, as his brother, was happy that he had designs on her sister.
"You said…"
Even Cao Cao felt troubled.
He thought that Zhao Yang might want a high position, a high salary, gold, silver, jade, or ten thousand hectares of fertile land.
However, he never expected that Zhao Yang would be thinking about his daughter. Was he trying to steal his home?!
"Father hit someone, this person is talking nonsense and acting so frivolous, you can't marry Qinghe to him!”
At this moment, Cao Ang glared at him angrily. He could not sit still anymore and shouted in a deep voice.
When Zhao Yang came to Cao Cao's camp, he wasn't at the scene.
However, he had heard about Zhao Yang's rumors.
How could he agree to let his sister marry such a strange person?
Moreover, the two of them had never met before. This bastard actually had designs on his sister?
Especially since Zhao Yang had said that he would die in Wan City!
How could Cao Ang have a good impression of Zhao Yang?
"Ahem…"
"Sir has never seen my daughter before. Why do you suddenly have such thoughts?”
Cao Cao cleared his throat and asked.
He really couldn't figure out what Zhao Yang was up to.
"Since Si Kong asked, then I'll be frank.”
"One of the reasons is that Sikong's daughter is truly the daughter of a noble family.”
"The second reason is to gain Si Kong's trust.”
Zhao Yang didn't hide anything and went straight to the point.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned again.
Zhao Yang continued,"
"My identity is a transmigrator. It's normal for Sikong to find it hard to accept my origins.”
"In Si Kong's eyes, I'm from an unknown background, and I can't prove my identity.”
"If I can marry Sikong's eldest daughter, I'll be a member of the Cao family in the future. This way, I can eliminate Sikong's doubts.”
"It can also prove that I am not a spy sent by Yuan Shao and the others.”
Zhao Yang said it casually, but everyone present looked at each other when they heard this.
They were completely stunned.
No one expected Zhao Yang to say such a thing!
To become the son-in-law of the Cao Family just to gain Cao Cao's trust?!
This was the case, but it was not pleasant to hear…
How could he say it so straightforwardly?!
Even Cao Cao lost control of his expression when he heard this.
Zhao Yang's unconventional actions had really messed with Cao Cao.
"Cough, Mister is really a humorous person!”
At this moment, Guo Jia stood up and said with a smile,
"Judging from today's matter, if Mister has such great ability, why did you give it to our army as a token of loyalty and not to Yuan Shao and those people?”
"Presumably, Si Kong would not think that Mister is a spy sent by Yuan Shao and the others.”
"Sir, you can rest assured about this!"
……
How could Zhao Yang not understand the meaning behind Guo Jia's words?
Zhao Yang naturally had his own considerations regarding marrying into the family.
It wasn't just because Qinghe was indeed a beauty recorded in history books.
At the same time, it was also to dispel Cao Cao's doubts about him in the shortest time possible.
No matter how open-minded Zhao Yang was, he knew very well that Cao Cao would not believe that Zhao Yang was a transmigrator so easily.
If he wanted to quickly gain Cao Cao's trust, becoming a member of the Cao Family would be the best choice.
"Ahem…"
Cao Cao coughed twice again, his throat almost hoarse. He was about to open his mouth to end this matter.
All of a sudden, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the tent.
"Sikong! Zhang Xiu of Wan City has sent a letter of surrender!"
Hearing this news, everyone present immediately stood up!
Especially Cao Cao himself, he looked at the letter in shock.
Zhang Xiu really surrendered!
A few days ago, Cao Cao already had the intention to attack Wan City.
Now, the army was about to set off.
At this moment, Zhao Yang appeared and told him what would happen in the Battle of Wan City.
This caused the suspicious Cao Cao to stay here for a while longer.
It was precisely because of this period of time that Zhang Xiu panicked. After Jia Xu's plan, he quickly sent the letter of surrender over.
