Chapter 24 Wu Mengde meets Little Tornado

Not long after, dozens of people were seen hurriedly running out of the village. The next person was in his thirties and looked very impressive. He walked quickly and laughed and said: "Hahahahahaha, my dear brother, my foolish brother is waiting for you."

How long did it take for you to get here!"

Cao Cao also laughed loudly, and quickly stepped forward and said: "My dear brother, my dear friend, seeing you today will comfort you for the rest of your life!"

It turns out that the two of them corresponded and had already talked about their ages. Chai Jin was a brother when he was thirty-six years old, and Wu Zhi was a younger brother when he was twenty-eight years old, so they called each other good brothers and good brothers.

Chai Jin grabbed Cao Cao's arm and said, "Now that you are here, you will never leave. There is nothing else in my village. Flowers bloom all year round. You and I enjoyed the peach blossoms, lotus flowers, chrysanthemums and plum blossoms."

, if you want to leave, you have to wait until you enjoy the plum blossoms."

It's February now, and the plum blossoms have just withered. If you want to enjoy the plum blossoms, you have to stay for a whole year.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "That's all if I don't come. Now that I'm here, I'm afraid even the senior officials won't be able to drive me away."

The two of them shook their arms and laughed, and Chai Jin ushered everyone into the hall. The tables were piled with fine wine, food, fruits, mutton and seafood, and everyone sat down. Chai Jin then asked, "My dear brother, why didn't the second son of the family come with you?"

Cao Cao said: "He was valued by the magistrate of our government and became a deputy general in the army. He has many official duties, so he did not arrive."

"It's not as good as Erlang's skill." Chai Jin praised, and then said: "You two companions, young and handsome, must not be idlers."

Cao Cao smiled and said: "I would like to introduce you to my dear friends. These two are my new brothers. One is the young Marquis Lu Fang and the other is Guo Sheng. They are both good at using a painted halberd. These two brothers have never met Chai Daguan.

people."

After hearing this, Lu and Guo stood up, clasped their fists and said, "I've seen Mr. Chai Daguan."

"Okay, no need to be polite!" Chai Jin saw the two of them handsome and outstanding in appearance, and he also had a good impression: "Two brothers, please sit down. Since they are the brothers of my brother Wu Xian, they must be great heroes."

Cao Cao said: "Don't look at them. They are young and have traveled all over the country to do business. From now on, they will be in charge of my younger brother's business."

Chai Jin said: "My dear brother has extraordinary eyesight, so he has such talents to help him."

The few people chatted, laughed, ate and drank, and the more they talked, the more they speculated, until late at night they dispersed.

For more than half a month, Cao Cao and others stayed at Chai Jin's house, accompanying Chai Jin every day, either going out to hunt, or singing, dancing, and having banquets. They lived happily every day.

One day in the first month of March, the peach blossoms were in full bloom outside the village. Chai Jin sent people to bring wine and food and invited Cao Cao and others to enjoy the peach blossoms.

Deep in the peach blossoms, there is a three-story wooden building. When people are on the upper floor, they look around and see that the ground is full of red and white, which is so beautiful.

Several people were admiring the flowers and drinking heavily. Unexpectedly, at night, a bright moon gradually climbed up to the east sky. The moonlight shone in the building, which was even brighter than the candlelight.

Chai Jin was so happy that he went downstairs and folded many peach blossoms in person, and then came upstairs to place them on the temples for everyone.

At this time, everyone had drunk too much and looked at each other and laughed. Chai Jin pointed at Cao Cao and said: "My dear brother, my dear brother, it's a pity that you are a martial artist. If you are a civilized person, then the Cao family and his son are extraordinary in literature. Wouldn't they be able to do a good job?"

Poetry to remember our joy today?"

Cao Cao was eighty percent drunk at this time. Hearing this, he stood up and said wildly: "You want a poem? It's not easy to ask for a poem! Listen -"

He staggered to the edge of the building, suddenly pulled out his sword, pointed at the peach blossoms on the ground, and loudly chanted a four-character poem:

"Spring ascends the branches, and the moon ascends the beautiful towers,

The heroes are drinking wine, asking you why you are worried?

Brothers in the zodiac, generous spirit,

The peach blossoms on the temples are still remembered after forgetting the year.

The ups and downs of life, the long journey,

Now that we have met a close friend, we each used ten husks of dendrobium.

Fortunately, I even sing to express my ambition."

Chai Jin couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this, and said in shock: "Young brother is actually so talented, he is really just like Cao Mengde, he can be said to be both civil and military."

Cao Cao laughed loudly and waved his sword. For a moment, there was a flash of green light, and the whole building was filled with sword shadows. Chai Jin, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng were all drunk and clapped their hands and cheered. However, the dealers waiting downstairs were frightened by the sight, fearing that Cao Cao would be drunk.

The back hand was weak and the sword flew out, injuring Chai Jin.

Cao Cao danced his sword once, then suddenly stopped, sat down on the ground, and chanted in a long voice: "The day is so short, a hundred years of hardships are easy to fill. The sky is vast, and the tribulations are long. Magu hangs her temples, and half of them are completed.

"Shuang. When God sees the beautiful girl, he laughs a thousand times. I want to attract six dragons, and I hang a hibiscus on my carriage. Beidou drinks fine wine, and persuades the dragons to have a cup each. Wealth and honor are not what you want, but you stay beautiful with others."

This poem was not written by him, but was a masterpiece by the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. He saw it somewhere and kept it in his mind, but he recited it at this moment.

After chanting, he picked up the wine jar and poured it into his mouth. For some unknown reason, a few tears flashed out of the corners of his eyes.

Bang, the wine jar fell to the ground.

Lu Fang said drunkenly: "Yeah, I, my brother is drunk, come on, come on, help my brother to sleep."

This time, Cao Cao slept until the afternoon of the next day.

After getting up and washing up, he came to the living room. Chai Jin was talking about martial arts with Lu Fang and Guo Sheng. When he saw Cao Cao coming, he laughed and said, "Brother, you were so cool last night. I often hear people talk about the character of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. I never know why. Last night

Only when I saw my wise brother reciting poems did I know what he was like."

Cao Cao's old face turned red: "Brother got carried away for a moment, dear friend, please don't make fun of me."

As he was talking, a steward suddenly ran in and said with a grimace: "Master, our goods were robbed by strongmen on the ground in Jizhou."

Chai Jinjiang frowned: "Didn't you say it was the goods from my Chai Jinzhuang?"

The housekeeper said: "Why didn't you say it? It's just that the group of people said, 'Nowadays, businessmen are easy to use their names to bluff people. I have met three groups of businessmen in a row recently. Two groups said it was the property of Xiao Xuanfeng, and the other group said it was Jade Qilin.

"If everything is like this, how can we eat?" So we robbed the goods and left a message saying that if they were bought and sold by the officials of Chai Dynasty, they would go and identify the goods in person and be willing to return them all."

Chai Jin smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "I am a remnant of the previous dynasty. The officials have ordered my family to live in Cangzhou Prefecture for generations. If I leave without authorization, wouldn't it be nothing? That's all. That batch of goods will be given to them."

The housekeeper said with a bitter face: "It's okay to send a batch of goods, but I'm afraid that business route won't work in the future."

When Chai Jin heard this, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Cao Cao watched with cold eyes, and then interrupted: "My dear friend, why do you need to worry about this matter? I will take Lu Fang and Guo Sheng with me and go out for my dear friend."

Chai Jin shook his head like a rattle: "You are my distinguished guest, how can I let you do these things?"

Cao Cao laughed and said: "My dear friend, I regard you as my brother, but you always say polite words to me. Besides, I have to go out this time to walk around, see a few great rivers and mountains, and meet a few heroes.

Even if I go on a trip for you, it’s just a waste of time.”

Chai Jin thought for a long time after hearing this, and then said: "If that group of people is very capable, what should we do?"

Cao Cao said: "You are so powerful, why don't you know how to run away? Besides, if you look at what they say, they are not really disrespecting you. If I am defeated, I can tell you my name and it won't be a big deal."

Seeing his insistence, Chai Jin could only nod his head and said: "In this case, I have to trouble my dear brother. There is only one thing you must remember: money is an external thing. If you throw it away, you will throw it away. Life is a first-class thing. Remember, remember."

He spoke so sincerely that Cao Cao couldn't help but be moved. He nodded and said: "Brother's golden and kind words, I will keep them in my heart."

Chai Jin felt uneasy, so he simply selected a hundred strong and bold bankers and ordered them to follow him and protect Cao Cao along the way.
