As for whether Xi Zhicai gave the wine to Cao Cao or not.
The next day, when Cao Cao came over with a sullen Xi Zhicai to thank him, the problem was solved.
Cao Cao's face was rosy and shiny.
It was obvious that the glass of wine had played a big role. Xi Zhicai had been dragged out of bed early.
He was arguing with Cao Cao to prove that the wine he took was allowed by the owner and that he did not drink it secretly.
Cao Cao carried him like a mountain.
It was obvious that he had a lot of experience in raising animals.
Seeing Xie Lige coming over, Cao Cao pressed Xi Zhicai over. When they were in front of him, Xi Zhicai was patted. He pouted a little aggrievedly, but he still lowered his head obediently and said, "Sorry, I shouldn't have taken your wine."
After he got the wine yesterday, he went to the Cao family's residence without stopping. Although he swallowed his saliva several times along the way, in the end, his rationality prevailed.
He eagerly carried the wine back and let Cao Cao drink it.
At first, Cao Cao didn't understand what was going on. When he saw Xi Zhicai come over with a glass of wine to present a treasure, he thought that the other party had found something good again.
So he drank it.
After drinking it,
He found the benefits. His head didn't hurt anymore.
His spirit became better.
Even the movement of catching the naughty child became lighter by several levels.
Xi Zhicai: QAQ!
He just came over to present a treasure, but he was caught alive without even a compliment.
He forced him to tell him what was going on.
Cao Cao, whose face was dark when he found out the truth, forcefully pressed him over.
As the lord, Cao Cao was worried sick for his old father. He said helplessly, "Thank you, Sir."
He didn't expect Xi Zhicai to sneak over to drink wine when he wasn't paying attention. He actually had the guts to go back and present a treasure.
"It's okay!"
He had already expected that Xi Zhicai would be beaten up when he went back. Xie Lige had a cold face. His white hair looked like snow, and he looked like an immortal. The complicated and winding silver ornaments shuttled through his silver hair, adding a hint of coldness. When he heard Cao Cao's apologetic answer, he remained calm.
After thinking for a while, Xie Lige handed over the remaining wine from last time.
When Cao saw this scene, his eyes narrowed. If he wasn't mistaken, the wine suddenly appeared appeared from the air. The simple move shocked him. he took the wine and looked at the other party.
Xie Lige explained, "This wine has the effect of nourishing the body. You and Xi Zhicai are a little weak because of the hard work. Just drink a cup every now and then."
Anyway, he still had the wine..
It was just a little.
Tsk!
Xie Lige thought expressionlessly.
When Cao Cao heard this, he was very moved. He felt that this immortal really understood the principle of righteousness.
Xi Zhicai was also very excited. His eyes shone as he stared at the bamboo wine in Cao Cao's hand. When he heard Xie Lige say that he could drink a cup every day, he became even happier. He was like a greedy hamster that saw rice. He couldn't wait to hide the wine immediately.
However, there was still a huge mountain above him.
Cao Cao knew that this wine was good stuff. He also intended to leave the wine for Xi Zhicai. He immediately put away the wine and accepted Xie Lige's kindness.
He also asked a question in return.
"In a few days, people from my residence will go to the capital. Would you be willing to go?"
Winter was almost over and spring was coming. April was coming. Hearing Cao Cao's question, Xie Lige woke up from his dream. A famous event in history had happened.
Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, was about to die. Young Emperor Liu Bian was still young. The entire imperial court was controlled by eunuchs. The Yuan family, the Wang family, and the Dong family of Liangzhou all showed up. They were ready to deal the final blow to the dying emperor in this good season.
This crazy proposal came from a certain general of the Lu family who was like a piece of meat.
The sons of the noble families were usually annoyed by the emperor's henchmen. When they heard this proposal, they all clapped and cheered.
Because Cao Cao's family background couldn't be compared to the children of the big families, this time's anti-eunuch group in name was actually a group activity to beat up the Emperor. It was also because he had a good relationship with Yuan Shao that those big shots brought him along to play. Thinking of the importance of this activity, Cao Cao, who carried Xie Lige's high position in his heart, thought about it and sent out an invitation.
Xie Lige, who accidentally met a dead mouse, was speechless.
He really did not expect to meet his son.
Xie Lige nodded coldly. He was confused. He just gave the wine to thank Cao Cao for his help. He really did not expect him to give him such a big surprise.
However, since he had already given him a surprise, he accepted it without hesitation.
Cao Cao, who heard the affirmative answer, was happy. He also did not expect this unworldly master to agree to his request. But when he thought about the reason this master came down the mountain, it was not strange. Yes, looking for the son of an old friend, of course, there was a higher chance of finding him outside.
In this way, the two of them happily reached a consensus.
When it was time to leave, Cao Cao immediately sent someone to call Xie Lige and Xi Zhicai, who was shamelessly staying in the mansion. When the servant arrived at the door, he heard the voices of the two people inside.
First, a lazy voice sounded, "Are you really not considering taking me as your disciple?
I think my aptitude should be good. "
The young man sat on a chair under the grapevines and looked at the cold man in the courtyard. He held his face and said with a smile.
The man, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and coldly refused, "No."
"Many people have asked to take me as their disciple!"
Xi Zhicai wasn't lying this time. Back when he was still in good health, there had been many martial arts masters who wanted him to be their disciple. However, Xi Zhicai had rejected all of them back then.
This time, it was the result of Xi Zhicai's deliberate planning.
After tasting the bamboo wine, Xi Zhicai was completely addicted to it. When the bamboo tube was finished, he could not help but blink in disbelief. After enduring for a few days, he finally could not help but run to the Xie mansion. He was very smart and did not directly ask for the wine. Instead, he asked to be Xie Lige's disciple.
A disciple inheriting a master's legacy and so on …
Xi Zhicai secretly made a plan in his heart. If something happened to his master, wouldn't the big pile of wine that he had collected be his?
Although he did not understand Xi Zhicai's thoughts, he did not dislike him. Xie Lige naturally refused.
The reason was a direct sentence.
"You are too weak."
Just running around the Xie mansion would be enough to kill him. Who gave him the courage to be his disciple?
Liang Jingru?
Xie Lige silently looked at the bright eyes of Xi Zhicai.
One refused, and the other kept pestering. The two of them kept pestering each other until the servant sent by Cao Cao arrived. Hearing the servant's words, the two of them knew that the trip to the capital had been decided. Only then did they stop talking.
"We will go over now." Xie Lige slightly nodded to the respectful servant outside the door.
Xi Zhicai smiled as he followed behind him. He glanced at the servant and thought for a moment. He seemed to recognize that he was indeed Cao Cao's servant. Only then did he return to being that lazy youth.
When Xie Lige went down the mountain, he didn't bring any luggage. Naturally, he didn't have anything to take with him. After the servant finished speaking, Xie Lige reappeared in front of everyone with a sword in his hand. With a flip of his hand, the frightening aura in the courtyard was also retracted.
The instigator smiled slightly and said, "Let's go."
Xi Zhicai was speechless.
"Yes!" The servant became even more respectful. He was very cautious and kept a distance from Xie Lige.
Xi Zhicai's things were almost all packed. Cao Cao had already sent someone to bring them. In the end, the two of them only needed to bring along themselves before they could set off.
Outside the city.
A large group of carriages stopped not far from the city walls. The passersby avoided them. Xie Lige and Xi Zhicai followed the servant in front of them. From afar, they saw a dense crowd, especially a huge carriage that stood out from the crowd. It could fit five or six people. The curtain on the side of the carriage was lifted. A man in black was looking in their direction.
The man in black was Cao Cao.
Seeing Cao Cao looking in their direction, Xi Zhicai smiled even more happily.
Even when he was right in front of them, the smile on his face did not fade.
Cao Cao saw Xie Lige from afar. He got out of the carriage to welcome him. He smiled and said, "Sir, you are indeed here."
Probably because there were outsiders around, Cao Cao did not directly address him as an immortal. Instead, he changed the way he addressed him. His tone was also a little probing, as if he was afraid that he would be angry.
Xie Lige did not care about this and simply nodded.
According to Cao Cao's words, they boarded the smaller horse carriage behind Cao Cao. It was heavily guarded and very long.
There were many guns. At first glance, it was obvious that it was heavily guarded.
After Xie Lige got into the carriage, Guo Jia finally could not hold back. He secretly pulled the smiling Xi Zhicai and asked, "Who is this?"
Because he had returned to his hometown, Guo Jia did not know about Xie Lige's heroic deeds. He only heard that his lord had recently met an extraordinary person with special abilities. He did not know anything else. He was still wondering why the army had been waiting outside the city for so long. It seemed that they were waiting for someone to come.
Then, he looked at his lord's respectful gaze and was immediately puzzled. He grabbed Xi Zhicai and questioned him.
Some of the surrounding generals also pricked up their ears. The generals were not as well-informed as the civil officials. In addition, Cao Cao had deliberately suppressed the news in the city. Thus, they had only heard of Xie Lige's reputation.
Xi Zhicai looked at his hand that was being held and heard Guo Jia's worried question. He said unhurriedly, "My lord has his reasons. We do not need to interfere too much!"
Xi Zhicai felt that Guo Jia was a little too worried.
"But..." Hearing this, Guo Jia instinctively frowned.
"There is nothing to worry about."
Xi Zhicai was very confident because he had seen how extraordinary Xie Lige was. He said, "That man is unfathomable. He will not harm my lord. On the contrary, we may need his help on this trip to the capital."
Guo Jia revealed a look of ridicule.
Xi Zhicai was still smiling like a fox. He did not explain. He just pointed to the tall general beside him and said, "Believe it or not, even if there were dozens of General Xiahou, they would not be able to beat him."
Xiahou who was dragged here for no reason?
Skeletal remains?
