Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 177
The short-lived palace building in Shouchun City was changed back to the city lord's mansion by Ye Xiao again. Cheng Yu was brought here, and seeing many royal-standard buildings, he couldn't help but sneer.

In the front hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Xiao and Chen Gong saw Cheng Yu being brought in, but neither of them got up to greet him.

Because the news of what Cheng Yu did in Sangli Township had already reached Ye Xiao's ears, so Ye Xiao would not give the other party a good look because the messenger quit and sneaked to the countryside to inquire about information.

Cheng Yu also had some self-knowledge, so he lowered his posture when he came in.

"Under Duke Cao, Cheng Yu from Yanzhou has met the champion."

Ye Xiao snorted coldly, and glanced at Cheng Yu.

"Cheng Zhongde, I heard that you came to pick up Yuxi. Now that Yuxi has been sent to Xudu, why are you still hanging around in my Shouchun?"

Cheng Yu was not afraid of Ye Xiao's majesty, he took out the document from his arms and offered it with both hands.

"My lord said goodbye to Champion Hou in Surabaya. I miss you very much. I asked you to bring a special book to me. However, I got lost at a convenient time on the way. Fortunately, Champion Hou's soldiers led the way. Otherwise, I would never have found Shouchun City. "

Cheng Yu's explanation sounded so childish, Chen Gong couldn't help but sneer.

"The dignified Governor of Yanzhou is actually a road idiot. If word spreads, I'm afraid it will be ridiculous."

Cheng Yu's eyes fell on Company Chen, and his eyes became a little gloomy.

"Chen Gong, my lord treats you well, why should you bear the name of treason?"

Cheng Yu's scar was uncovered by Chen Gong, and he couldn't help saying: "Cheng Yu, don't think that you can tell me what to do with Cao Cao. Cao Cao is the biggest traitor at the moment by holding the Emperor hostage by any means. Why do you bother to be a pawn?"

Chen Gong and Cheng Yu looked at each other, full of anger.

"Enough." Seeing the two fighting cocks, Ye Xiao couldn't help interrupting them: "Gongtai, since Zhong De is here on behalf of Cao Gong, let's listen to him first."

Ye Xiao didn't even bother to read the letter Cheng Yu sent, and he didn't need to think about it to know that it was Cao Cao's unnutritious words showing off his literary talents. If he could speak clearly in the letter, he wouldn't have to send the Governor of Yanzhou over.

Cheng Yu put away his hostility, saluted respectfully, and said with a smile, "You are worthy of being a champion. Your mind is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people. I, Cheng Yu, admire it. My lord sent me this time, mainly for three things."

Ye Xiao let Chen Gong regain his composure, and prepared to write down the content of their conversation.

"If you have anything, just say it."

Cheng Yu nodded and said with a smile: "It's all small things. The first thing, my lord is very satisfied with the return of the emperor's seal by the champion, which proves that the champion is loyal to the big man. Now, Champion Hou had better not mistake himself and blindly form an alliance with such traitors."

Cao Cao's meaning is very clear, now that Ye Xiao's wings are hardened, I don't want to touch you, but don't join forces with Yuan Shao to attack me.

Ye Xiao himself did not have any alliance agreement with Yuan Shao. Among so many people, he had an alliance with Cao Cao in Surabaya.

"Of course I know how to weigh this matter. Mr. Cao and I had an armistice agreement in Surabaya, so we are half allies. I wouldn't be blind enough to unite with Yuan Shao. Don't worry."

Cheng Yu was relieved to hear that Ye Xiao agreed so readily, and continued.

"Champion Hou Dayi, I will tell my lord the truth when I go back next time. Another thing is, I heard that the false emperor Yuan Shu and Yuan Yao were captured by the champion Hou in Shouchun. I wonder if Champion Hou can bring these two people back to Xudu?"

Ye Xiao's eyes froze. Cao Cao asked him not to form an alliance with Yuan Shao verbally, but he also had to express himself in action. If Yuan Shu and his son were handed over, then he and Yuan Shao would really fight to the death.

"Haha, what Zhong De said is also what I think." Ye Xiao winked at Chen Gong, and started the fooling mode. "Gongtai, I remember the old thief Yuan Shu and his son are still in prison, right? Quickly have someone tie them up and put them in a car for Zhong De to take back."

Before Cheng Yu could smile when he heard the words, Chen Gong took over the topic and said.

"Oh my lord, if you don't tell me, I would have forgotten. The day before yesterday, because Shouchun was busy with affairs, he neglected to guard the prison. Yuan Shu and his son escaped without a trace."

Ye Xiao slapped the back of the chair with a slap, making Cheng Yu pick up in fright.

"You are so courageous, the old thief Yuan Shu dared to escape, Gongtai, did you send someone to chase after him?"

Chen Gong was very cooperative and panicked and said: "My lord, my subordinates have already sent someone there, it's just that the old thief ran fast, so I don't know where he is now."

Ye Xiao held back the smile in his heart, and looked at Cheng Yu with a feigned embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Zhong De, my subordinates are not doing well, and such an important prisoner has escaped. You must explain to Mr. Cao when you go back. It’s not that I didn’t want to hand over Yuan Shu and his son to Duke Cao, they really escaped!”

Cheng Yu cursed endlessly in his heart, and at the same time, he didn't want to attack directly. He just opened his eyes and fooled Ye Xiao with nonsense, but he didn't expect to get retribution so soon.

"Ahem, Champion, don't blame yourself. The old thief Yuan Shu is extremely cunning, and there is nothing he can do if he escapes."

When Ye Xiao saw what the other party said, Lao Huai laughed and said: "Gongtai, you see, Dudu Cheng will understand what I said, and Duke Cao will definitely not blame us after we go back."

Cheng Yu grinned, and could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Seeing Ye Xiao divert the topic away, he knew that Yuan Shu's question had come to nothing.

"Champion Hou, there is a third thing. My lord heard that you implemented a new government order in Huainan, which has a good effect on people's livelihood. I want me to have the audacity to come here and ask for advice. I wonder if Champion Hou can teach me?"

Ye Xiao's face turned cold again. Although he and Cao Cao had an armistice agreement, they were not the kind of inseparable allies. It felt too thick-skinned for you to inquire about the government orders implemented in your own land.

"Zhongde, it's just a trivial skill, nothing to worry about."

With an attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the end, Cheng Yu forced a smile and said, "Champion Marquis, I heard on the road that the land in the Shouchun Land has been distributed to the Li people. It is really a big deal."

"Oh? It seems that Zhongde already knows the land equalization system we implement. Why do you need to ask me?" Ye Xiao rolled his eyes angrily, "We have already promulgated the land equalization order. Zhongde wants to Understood, you will know later when you go out and look at the bulletin board."

When Cheng Yu heard this, he didn't know how to answer. The land equalization order had already been promulgated on the bulletin board. He seemed a little petty for the purpose of inquiring about news.

"The champion is loyal to the people and the country, and he does not hesitate to give such huge benefits to the people. We really admire him."

After thinking about it, Cheng Yu could only offer a compliment, and retreated in his heart. Anyway, half of Cao Cao's work was done.

However, Ye Xiao didn't follow the routine and showed a smile.

"I like to hear what Zhongde said. Since everyone thinks my land equalization order is very good, why don't you help recommend it to Duke Cao after you go back."

Cheng Yu was immediately confused, not knowing what Ye Xiao meant by this.
