Chapter 196

"Can this be Cao Cao's conspiracy?" When Zhang Fei, the black-faced face was somber that he expressed his thoughts on Xia Houlan to Liu Bei, Guan Er's first reaction was that there was something wrong.

Liu Bei had already put on his shoes and was about to enter the palace to see Liu Xie, but hesitated again after hearing this.

When Zhang Fei saw this, he was anxious and stared at the table tennis ball with his eyes: "I will definitely not. I understand the person Zhiji. He is a great good person and will definitely not harm me with this."

Guan Yu was also anxious, and his already red face was even more breathless: "What's the use of harming you, a barbarian? It's the big brother!"

"How can a woman marry or not hurt her elder brother? Second brother, you are too worried."

"Why am I so attentive? Why don't you think about it with your brain? Who is Zhang Feng Cao? Will he be kind to help you?"

Zhang Fei was usually used to being scolded by the two, but Guan Yu spoke a barbarian and said that he was not worthy of Zhang Feng’s sincere help. Although he always respected his teachers, he was a little angry because of the word "love": "What did Zhang Feng hurt his elder brother? What is the danger of the elder brother going to the palace to ask the emperor? Then, Cao Cao was so wise that he could not convict the emperor of marriage, right?"

The two of them became more and more fierce, and they became really angry. When Liu Bei saw that the two brothers had started arguing, he hurriedly advised: "Why are these two brothers? Don't bother Yun Chang, don't be bothered, and you know that you are concerned about your brother. It's just a lifelong event that concerns my third brother. I'm not going to be a classmate with Zhiji for a few years, and I won't have any conspiracy to kill me."

Seeing Liu Bei say this, Guan Yu stopped talking and glared at Zhang Fei fiercely. Then the two of them looked like two angry children, each sitting cross-legged with their backs to each other, ignoring each other.

Liu Bei sighed helplessly, and hesitated about the interests of the court until he was outside the palace gate. Some things were not that complicated, but he thought too much about it.

Since Liu Bei was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou, although he has been diligent in his work, this is Cao Cao's territory after all. The prefects and county magistrates under him are quite respectful in person out of fear of Liu Bei's identity as "the emperor's uncle", but he knows in his heart that he may not take him seriously behind his back. Therefore, the government orders are not fulfilled and the implementation is even more unfavorable. Liu Bei can only use people who are not Cao Cao's direct descendants, such as Sun Gan and others from Xuzhou.

But what should come will come. When Liu Xie heard that Liu Bei was asking for a meeting, he had been eager to grasp a group of his confidants and immediately met Liu Bei in the side hall. After hearing about the purpose of the visit, he agreed readily beyond Liu Bei's expectations and immediately issued an edict, asking Xia Houlan to Zhang Fei.

The reason is very simple. Based on the fact that people's rebelliousness is something that Cao Cao is unwilling to do, so Liu Xie tried every means to do it, even if it only made Cao Cao feel a little unhappy, it was a spiritual enjoyment for Liu Xie.

Zhang Hong, who received Cao Cao's acquiescence, immediately visited Xia Houyuan.

"Zhang Hong has met General Xia Hou." Being appreciated by Sun Ce and serving as the core figure of Xuchang this time, Zhang Hong is of course more outstanding than Zhang Zhao, who is also two Zhangs in Jiangdong. In fact, Zhang Zhao has a very straight-tempered temper and is prone to offend people, while Zhang Hong is just the opposite. He is still well maintained in middle age, with a kind smile on his face, and he will have a good impression of anyone who sees it.

Xia Houyuan's always stern face also squeezed a hint of awkward smile: "I dare not take it. I heard that Mr. Zhang has a talent for a long time and I don't want to meet here. I'm so lucky."

The two of them kept talking indifferently to each other, making Xia Houlan, who had already heard the sound of the wind, hiding behind the screen, beating wildly. If Zhang Hong asked for his birthday as soon as he spoke, he would probably have collapsed.

That black guy, after so long, I don’t know what he is doing?

Judging from what Zhang Feng revealed, this black guy obviously has a good impression of him, so why hasn't he been talking for a long time?

Xia Houlan only knew that the parents were the decision of marriage, and that Zhang Fei was the sworn brother of Emperor Liu, but she didn't know that Liu Bei and Cao Cao were all in a bad way?

The pale little handkerchief was almost rotten, and the knees were squatting slightly numb. Why didn't these two people talk about the main topic? Did they come for themselves?

Just as Xia Houlan sighed and complained, he finally heard the middle-aged man who spoke in a gentle manner and said, "This time, in addition to visiting the general, there is another thing to ask for. General Sun Bofu's fourth brother is already an adult, and is extremely heroic and can be a great talent. In the future, he will definitely be a talent for the country. I heard that the general has a daughter who is beautiful and favorable, so I would like to ask for it."

When Xia Houlan heard this, she felt that her eyes were dark and she almost fell to the ground.

Sure enough, I came for myself. You should know that if people from Jiangdong had basically agreed to it, they would not have come to the house easily.

Xia Houlan's little face instantly became bloodless, and the handkerchief in her hand that was as rotten as a rag slid down to the ground, and her knees were no longer numb because she had already stiffened and felt nothing.

Sure enough, I heard Xia Houyuan say, "I thank General Boce for his love. Although my daughter is naughty, she has been well-educated since childhood. In addition, Jiangdong has a good relationship with me. If there is such a marriage, the two families will be even more close."

It's over! When Xia Houlan heard his father's tone, she knew that this matter was almost done. That hateful black man, then... he would have no chance to paint for me again...

I heard a servant outside the door at this time saying, "Master, there is a yellow gate in the palace, saying that it was from the promulgation."

Xia Houyuan and Zhang Hong looked at each other. Why did Liu Xie suddenly send someone to announce the edict?

However, no matter how suspicious it is, the situation still has to go through. Xia Houyuan asked someone to put on a few tables, incense burners and other items, and took the whole family, big and young, and knelt down to listen to the order.

The yellow gate seemed to think that the emperor was a great honor to give marriage. He thought that Xia Houyuan would stuff a big red envelope afterwards, and he shouted in a sharp voice in the duck man's voice: "Xia Houyuan, the captain of the Sheshui school, received the order. Now there is Zhang Fei, the emperor's uncle and brother, who is unparalleled in bravery, and Lan, the daughter of Xia Houyuan, who is elegant and beautiful, and can be a broom..."

Xia Houyuan's face gradually became darker and darker. The blue veins on his forehead were struggling like a dying earthworm. He seemed to spit out fire in his eyes, burning the thin yellow silk clean. After the yellow door repeatedly reminded him to accept the order and thank him, he gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to beat the yellow door on the spot. He twisted his hideous facial features and answered the order. Then, regardless of laughing, he still touched the yellow door with his bad head, and directly brushed his sleeves: "Send out!"

Zhang Hong was helpless, why did Cheng Yaojin suddenly appear? Well, he hadn't been born yet, so Zhang Fei was ready. He wanted to say some polite words to ease the tense atmosphere, but Xia Houyuan's temper was not very good. In order to avoid embarrassing himself, Zhang Hong had to say goodbye. There were several carts of betrothal gifts with him, all of which were some specialties from Jiangdong.

Only Xia Houlan was ecstatic. He did it all in the end. How could this black guy take action in the end? But at least he could achieve success.

He tried hard to suppress his ecstasy mood, pretended to be very unjust and innocent, and went back to the room and laughed secretly.

When Zhang Feng returned to the mansion, Cao Wei'er rushed up as soon as he saw it, and pulled him nervously and asked, "Husband! I thought about what happened yesterday, but it was a bit inappropriate. Daddy was very displeased with Zhang Fei's brother Liu Bei. What if one day I turned against you, Sister Lan would be stuck in the middle?"

Zhang Feng didn't think so much, he just thought that in history, they were married, and now they did have feelings for each other, so he tried his best.

After being stunned for a long time, he said whispered: "Wi'er, this guy... Liu Xie has issued an order to marry..."
