Chapter 319: What You Wish For [Subscription Request]

Next to the Prince of Wei's Palace is a special "prison" where high-level prisoners are kept under house arrest.

The soldiers guarding the palace also put the surrounding areas under control, making it so tight that it is impossible to escape.

Between the two mansions, you can enter Cao's mansion by passing through a restricted alley and then walking through a long and narrow inner corridor.

Old Lady Wu and Da Qiao entered the palace through the inner corridor, and under the guard of personal soldiers, went to Cao Cao's study.

"Remember what I said." asked Mrs. Wu.

She has always been authoritative in Jiangdong and her word is final.

Qiao Ying hummed softly.

"I know you don't want to, but for Jiangdong's sake, I have to let you down. I will remember what you did, and treat your sister and the Qiao family well when I return."

Qiao Ying asked in a low voice:
"What if the King of Wei doesn't like it?"

"Don't like it? Although Cao Mengde is a man of talent and strategy, he is also a womanizer. How could he reject you given your looks?"

Madam Wu sneered, "A hero like my son Bofu is also bewitched by you."

Qiao Ying lowered her head and clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands.

study.

Dian Wei and the other man finished their meal and returned to the door.

Old Madam Wu was led into the house by the imperial guards. Just as she was about to speak, her heart skipped a beat.

Diao Chan, wearing a fiery red dress, put one hand on Cao Cao's arm. It was unknown what the two had just said, but both had smiles on their faces.

Her outstretched hand and the wide red sleeves made her look even whiter than snow, and her ten fingers were as slender as jade.

During this period, Boss Cao's care was very successful, and Diao Chan's already stunning beauty became more charming and more beautiful, becoming more and more beautiful.

This woman...even Old Madam Wu couldn't help but feel amazed.

She turned around and glanced at Da Qiao beside her.

Qiao Ying's gaze also fell on Diao Chan and she pursed her moist lips.

"King Wei."

At Cao Cao's signal, Old Lady Wu and Da Qiao took seats in the wings.

"Husband, you have something to discuss. I'm leaving now."

Diao Chan reached out and pinched the fat on Yin's face, then walked away briskly.

Cao Cao turned his attention to Madam Wu: "What is it you want to see me for?"

“King Wei should know that my eldest son, Bofu, was killed by a villain on the battlefield and is seriously injured. I am anxious to return to Jiangdong.

If the King of Wei can pity me, an orphan and a widow, and let me go, I am willing to go back to Jiangdong to collect 50,000 hu of grain as a ransom. What do you think?

If Jiangdong took out 50,000 hu of grain at this time, it would empty its coffers.

Before the summer grain is harvested next year, everyone has to live frugally and have no ability to fight a foreign war.

Mrs. Wu is very accurate in her predictions.

She knew that it was useless to play tricks in front of Cao Cao, so she just gave the highest price.

Cao's camp had been fighting battles for years, so food was certainly not abundant.

She didn't believe that Cao Cao would not be tempted by the offer of 50,000 hu of grain.

Mrs. Wu then threw out her second trump card and signaled to Qiao Ying beside her:

"There are two Qiao sisters in Jiangdong, and they have become well-known in the world in recent years. She is Da Qiao. If the King of Wei likes her, I will give her to him as a concubine and slave."

Qiao Ying lowered her head in embarrassment, even her neck was flushed.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "No."

The more Madam Wu wants to go back, the bigger the chaos that might break out in Jiangdong.

Even 500,000 hu of grain is not enough.

As for Qiao Ying, isn't she in my hands? Do I need you to give her to me?
"Anything else?" Cao Cao asked.

Mrs. Wu did not expect Cao Cao to refuse so decisively, leaving no room for negotiation. She gritted her teeth and said, "I will add another 10,000 hu of grain, no more. When I go back, I will have someone send Xiao Qiao here as well. How about that?"

Da Qiao's face suddenly turned pale.

"Let all the members of your Sun family, including Sun Bofu and Sun Zhongmou, come here, and I will let you go back." Cao Cao said calmly.

"you……"

Mrs. Wu's lips trembled slightly. She was very angry, but she didn't dare to get angry at Cao Cao.

Two personal soldiers came in and took Madam Wu and Da Qiao away.

Cao Cao also left the study and returned to the inner house.

On the way, Yin, who was beside him, suddenly pricked up his ears to listen, then quickened his pace and ran in one direction.

Cao Cao also heard it. It was his own daughter calling Yin and Rui.

In the inner house, it is getting dark.

Cao Cao and Yu Qing's eldest daughter, Cao Yin, who was almost four years old, and a little boy of six or seven years old stood side by side.

The boy's name was Xun Yun, and he was Xun Yu's eldest son.

The two waited for a while, and Yin ran in from outside, followed by Rui.

Yin looked helpless and lazy.

It is here to coax the baby and serve as a bodyguard to protect the child.

If Yin hadn't been afraid that what the children might do was dangerous, he wouldn't have come.

It lay on the ground, and Cao Yin used all his strength to climb onto Yin's broad tiger back. He grasped the wrinkles on Yin's neck with his little hands, feeling somewhat proud.

Xun Yun also wanted to climb onto Yin, but Yin pushed him aside with his claws and pointed at Rui, meaning that it would not carry outsiders, and asked Xun Yun to sit on Rui.

When Xun Yun sat on Rui's back, he saw Cao Yin, who was a head taller than him, on Yin, and his face was full of envy.

"Yin, run quickly and hide from your family. If you are discovered, I will pull your beard."

Yin rolled his eyes and ran to the front yard as if he was being threatened.

Rui followed closely behind.

The two big guys dragged the two little ones and soon came to a secluded corner in the front yard.

There is a ladder here, along the wall.

Yin jumped onto the ladder, climbed over the wall in an instant, and leaped onto another wall on the opposite side like a tiger.

It carried the children and climbed over several walls.

The surrounding area is still the sphere of influence controlled by the palace, but after leaving the main house, we came to a small courtyard next to it.

Yin jumped down from the wall and landed smoothly.

It was afraid of dropping the child, so it looked back.

The little girl's big eyes were full of excitement and she sat steadily.

The small courtyard next door is a secret paradise for the two little ones.

There are all kinds of animals in the yard, including chickens, ducks, geese, and a pigpen.

Raised a sow and a litter of piglets.

Cao Cao had heard the noise before and saw Yin running away, so he used his hearing to track down his daughter and Yin.

In the backyard of the palace, Cao Cao changed direction and took a step out of thin air. As he took this step, the air under his feet seemed to shrink, and the houses seemed to become smaller and were taken in under his feet. He crossed several courtyards and suddenly arrived outside the small courtyard where his daughter was.

He asked Dian Wei and Xu Chu beside him: "Who raises the pigs?"

"The child's grandfather secretly brought in chickens, ducks, geese and other things from a farm outside the city, and also built this small courtyard." Dian Wei tried to hold back his laughter.

Cao Yin’s maternal grandfather was Cao Cao’s father-in-law, Yu Wen.

Cao Yin wanted to raise pigs, and Yu Wen did it because he loved his children.

When Cao Yin left the house, there was actually someone secretly protecting him the whole time, but they just didn't show up.

In the yard, Cao Yin took out a small bottle containing mashed raw garlic juice.

After Zhang Qian left the Great Wall, garlic was introduced to Han territory and was called Hu garlic.

Cao Yin once secretly tasted raw garlic juice and cried because it was so spicy, so she brought a bottle over and asked the pigs she raised to share the pain with her.

The sow and her piglets are sleeping.

Cao Yin picked up a small wooden stick and handed it to Xun Yun: "You come."

Xun Yun took the wooden stick, dipped it in raw garlic juice, reached in through the fence of the pigpen, and rubbed it on the pig's chest, where the piglets ate, so that the piglets could wake up and eat.

Yin followed and also watched over the children to make sure they didn't fall into the pigpen, as it would be dangerous.

Xun Yun wiped it a few times, and the sow's sleep was disturbed. She shook her tail and grunted twice.

Cao Yin suddenly discovered a new world and asked Xun Yun to rub the paste on the pig's butt that was exposed when it wagged its tail.

Xun Yun immediately dipped a wooden stick in raw garlic juice, applied it first, and then pushed it in with force.

The sow woke up with a cry, and felt a surge of heat invading her body from behind. It was so hot that it felt like a knife scraping her. She sat on the ground and rubbed it hard.

The sow screamed and the two naughty kids fell down laughing.

Cao Yin snatched the wooden stick that had been used to hit the pig, and handed it to Xun Yun, motioning him to take a sip to see if it tasted strong.

Xun Yun quickly shook his head, his face turning pale.

Cao Cao came in from outside.

When his daughter saw her father coming, she immediately threw the stick into the pigpen to destroy the body.

"Uncle King Wei."

Xun Yun performed the ceremony in a very formal manner.

All children go through a stage where they are disliked by everyone and hated by everyone. My daughter has reached this state a little early.

Cao Cao picked up his daughter, held Xun Yun with his other hand, and brought the two troublemakers home.

At night, he told Yu Tingting what his daughter had done. Your daughter asked Xun Yun to poke the pig with a stick.

After listening to it, Yu laughed tremblingly.

The night is gentle and the moon is cool and clear.

In the following days, Cao Cao visited the Imperial College.

The Imperial Academy was located to the east of Yecheng, and covered a large area.

Thanks to Zheng Xuan's appeal, he gathered as many as seven or eight thousand students in a short period of time.

The chaotic times had just been settled, and Cao Cao was quite satisfied with this number of people.

It was nearly April, and Cao Cao felt that if the Xianbei people made any move, they would soon arrive.

The arrangements he has made are almost complete.

Calculating the time, I will have a chance to go out in a few days.

During this period, Cao Cao visited Mrs. Du twice.

That night, he came to Bai Ke's room and watched her dance.

The women in the family all have their own strengths, but when it comes to waist, Bai Ke, who is the best dancer in the world, is definitely the most deadly.

Bai Ke’s waist is not a waist, but a female waist that can cut through people’s hearts.

Especially when she dances, the charming dynamics, the twists of the waist, the combination of movement and stillness...

After Bai Ke fell asleep, Cao Cao got up, put on his clothes, went to the bedroom of another mansion, and climbed in through the window.

On the couch in the room, a woman was sleeping soundly.

The room was filled with a faint fragrance.

Cao Cao took off his outer robe and climbed onto the couch.

The woman seemed to realize something, but sighed again, and in a trance she thought it was a dream like the past.

But she soon realized that it was not the case, and she cried out...

After nearly an hour, Cao Cao teased, "How many years have you been missing me?"

The woman fanned him lightly, feeling very happy in her heart, as her long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled.

"I was so scared just now. At first I thought it was Mi'er who was going to sleep next to me again in the middle of the night. I didn't expect it to be you."

The two chatted for a while, and the woman's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.

It was not until the early morning that the two fell asleep.

The next day, Cao Cao looked up the entry in his study.

[You have conquered the nine states, and the population under your jurisdiction has exceeded 40 million. You have accumulated reputation, and the current reputation value is over 12.76 million]

Cao Cao is one of the most powerful Han rulers in history who personally led his troops to fight and conquered the most territory.

He was used to leading any large-scale battle personally.

The territory he conquered in his lifetime was roughly 3.2 million square kilometers.

In the afternoon, Cao Cao summoned Xun Yu to discuss matters in his study.

He took out a very exquisite pot from under the table.

"Wen Ruo, I made you a new pot, you can use it."

Xun Yu took the pot and said worriedly:

"Your Majesty, if you give this to me, Fengxiao and the others will follow suit. At home, I have flat, round, copper, and wood-carved urinals. There are 27 urinals in total. I don't need so many."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Qing'er and the others want to go to Daye Lake. It happens to be the spring ploughing season, so I'll go to various places to see the farming."

"During this period, Fengxiao, Wenhe and others have been investigating the corruption of public grain in various places, and I am afraid that the gentry will have some backlash.

Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao persuaded Zhang Lu to surrender in Hanzhong, which was also a critical moment.

If you stay in Yecheng, I won't trust the others."

This is serious business. Xun Yu nodded and said, "Your Majesty of Wei, rest assured. I will not slack off."

Cao Cao happily said, "Well, Wenruo, if you have nothing to do, go and get busy."

Xun Yu took the urinal and left the study.

Cao Cao reached out and patted it lightly, tricking Xun Yu again, and the problem was solved with just a urinal.

The next day, he took his wives and concubines south to Onoze.

He really went to inspect the coast for a few days, and then suddenly disappeared. He used deception to cover up his tracks and led his troops to the western border.
