Zheng Ping, who was repeatedly trampled on the verge of Cao Cao's anger, naturally had no intention of giving in.

Cao Cao made a gesture of invitation, he stepped forward and left the hall door first, as if he couldn't see the trembling long sword in Cao Cao's hand.

Cao Cao exhaled the breath he had held for a long time, put his sword back into its sheath, and left together.

Seeing Zheng Ping walking in front and Cao Cao walking behind, the servants of Sikong Mansion lowered their heads, not daring to show any strange looks.

At this time, a guard came to report that General Liu Bei of Zhendong was begging to see him outside the door.

Cao Cao cherished Liu Bei's talents quite a bit. During the Jian'an period, he took the initiative to represent Liu Bei as the general of Zhendong and granted him the title of Marquis of Ting to show his favor.A month ago, Liu Bei was attacked by Lu Bu because of the gold and silver affairs and took the base camp. He had to join Cao Cao and attack Lu Bu together. After the war, he returned to Xudu with Cao Cao.

Now that he heard Liu Bei's arrival, although the timing was a bit unlucky, Cao Cao still didn't turn him away.

"Please come in and sit down in the front hall."

After speaking, continue to Cao Pi's resettlement place.

As soon as Liu Bei entered the Sikong mansion, he found that he had picked the wrong time. The servants of the Sikong mansion came and went in a hurry, with a tense expression on their faces.

It's just that it's not easy to leave after entering, he said a few words of concern, but the servants of the Sikong Mansion kept their secrets and couldn't find any news.

Liu Bei was a little restless, and was led to the front hall, where he saw a man and a woman sitting in the hall, with very young faces.

The woman wears a snail bun and has a beautiful face.Liu Bei didn't want to look too much, so he immediately looked back and saluted the man.

"I learned from Liu Bei and Liu Xuande at the end, dare to ask their names."

Sima Yi had heard of Liu Bei's reputation as a talented person, and because Liu Bei was old enough to be his father, he couldn't neglect him, so he saluted and said, "I'm not talented, Sima Yi, whose name is Zhongda. This is Clumsy Jing."

Sima Yi will be a weak general, but his reputation has not yet been revealed. Although Liu Bei has never heard of his name, the special surname Sima still caught his attention: "I don't know that Sima Jian Company (Sima Fang) and Jun..."

Sima Fang is Sima Yi's father.Before Sima Yi could answer in the future, a hearty male voice suddenly came from outside the door: "You said that Cao Sikong prepared cakes and snacks for us, is it right here?"

The bamboo curtain was opened again, and a man and a woman entered again.

In fact, the two people who had just entered were dressed in men's clothing, but with Liu Bei's experienced eyes, he recognized one of them as a young girl who was about to reach her age.

Li Jin was ushered into the door. Seeing that his cousin had already seated three people, and seeing the pitifully small Yuzhan on the table, Li Jin muttered: "Cao Sikong is too stingy. There are so many people, it took half a day to prepare." A cup of pastry."

Guo Xuan pretended not to hear, and smoothed things over for Li Jin: "This pastry is just a fresh one, and I took a lot of it, I'm afraid it will make my brother-in-law tired."

Zhang Chunhua looked as usual, and quietly pushed the plate towards Sima Yi, trying to make the illusion that he had eaten half of the plate of pastries, which attracted Sima Yi's expressionless gaze.

Liu Bei didn't pay attention to the movement over there. Seeing Li Jin and Guo Xuan's good looks, he became acquainted. He saluted them, introduced himself again, and said, "It's a coincidence today. We meet together... This righteous man looks at Mian Shan, have we met before?"

Li Jin had also heard of Liu Bei's name, so he bowed back to Liu Bei and said, "This man has two eyes and two nostrils, General Liu naturally looks kind when he sees me."

Guo Xuan didn't expect that Li Jin had been hanging out with his elder brother for a long time, and he began to talk freely.

No matter how quickly Liu Bei's expression recovered, Guo Xuan could still see the flickering flicker on his face.

Fortunately, she has taken care of your future since she was a child, and she is very experienced in this: "Brother is used to making jokes, General Liu is not surprised."

Liu Bei said it's okay, and was about to say something more, when the maid who waited on the bamboo curtain opened the curtain again, and a person came in.

Seeing the person coming, Guo Xuan immediately walked over: "Brother."

It was Zheng Ping who came in.He said that he would go with Cao Cao to meet Cao Pi, but he just mentioned it casually.He knew that Cao Pi was actually fine, and what he wanted to say to Cao Pi had already been finished before he came back, so there was no need to disturb the meeting between father and son and be the one who got in the way.It would be better to save time and come see Guo Xuan and Li Jin.

Zheng Ping responded to Guo Xuan, and saw that besides the four of them, there was a middle-aged man who he didn't know but had an extraordinary temperament. He guessed that he was Liu Bei who came to visit suddenly.

Liu Bei met Zheng Ping's scrutinizing eyes, bowed calmly and calmly, and once again reported his family and asked Zheng Ping's name.

When Zheng Ping said that his name was "Mi Heng", Liu Bei's expression changed subtly.

Obviously, although he has not been in Xudu for too long, Liu Bei has already heard of this big name who has been domineering in Xudu for two years.

The rumors from the outside world are still on the feat of Mi Heng spraying all the famous figures in Cao Ying and drumming Cao Cao, and there is no time to update it.

No matter how calm Liu Bei was, he still couldn't maintain his true calm when he heard that the person in front of him was the shocking person in the rumors.

At first, because of Zheng Ping's outstanding appearance and demeanor, there was such a strong intention to make friends, but now he wants to step back and start over, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

It has nothing to do with shrinking back, nor does it mean to dislike it.Liu Bei simply felt that it would be better for him to avoid contact with people who could make Cao Cao so angry.

Liu Bei was ready to be sprayed in the face for no reason, and then resigned, but Zheng Ping didn't say anything shocking, but he was polite.

Liu Bei was a little uncertain for a while, whether the rumors were wrong, or the person in front of him was not the "Mi Heng", but another person with a similar pronunciation.

He said he was going to see his son, but in fact Cao Cao, who was hiding in the small room behind the front hall and eavesdropping, was a little bit worried.

When Ni Heng sees him, he always has no good words. Why is he so normal in front of Liu Bei? Could it be that he is also impressed by Liu Bei's "affinity" and takes special care of him?

Cao Cao couldn't explain his subtle feelings at the moment. If he had to describe it, it would probably be that he planted a field with Lao Liu next door. As a result, his field had hail every day, while the field next door was warm and sunny every day. , couldn't help doubting life, and sighed at the injustice of fate.

Before he could finish "sighing", Zheng Ping found a seat and sat down, let Guo Xuan and Li Jin sit on both sides of him, waiting for the maid to serve the honey water.

Sima Yi and his wife also sat back to their original seats, just opposite to Zheng Ping.Liu Bei inspected left and right, and found that each side formed a small circle, and for a while he didn't know which side to sit on.

The reception room in the Han Dynasty is often in an inverted "U" shape, with the host sitting on the top and the guests sitting on the two sides.

The first seat is reserved for Cao Cao, and he must not be able to sit.

Now Zheng Ping's side is full of seats, and Sima Yi's side is a couple, although there are only two people, so what's the matter with him being a stranger?

For a while, Liu Bei had the illusion that he was being redundant.

But his mentality is different from that of ordinary people, and he fell into this embarrassing situation, and he was not afraid, so he simply sat down on the spot.

He was about to talk about a topic casually, to liven up the atmosphere, when Zheng Ping suddenly turned his gaze to him, and said unhurriedly: "It's better for the general to sit on the table..."

Liu Bei said: "It doesn't matter, where is there not a seat?"

He spoke freely and straightforwardly, but got Zheng Ping's eyes with unclear meaning:

"Just now when the second son entered the door, he just vomited by the door. Although it has been cleaned up hastily, it is still..."

Liu Bei who suddenly felt something interesting under his knees: ...
