"Uncle Cai, what's the matter with you? Although Wuwei County is far away and the people are fierce and disobedient to Wang Hua, my nephew is confident to lay down a foundation there and fight hard to resist the barbarians and protect our Han territory."

Cai Yong was in a daze for a while, then looked at Li Li with deep eyes, and asked seriously: "Wenchang, you know that I have many former disciples, but why do you treat me differently? I consider you a nephew, I strongly recommend you to go to Liangzhou to serve, and treat you like a close relative, have you thought about why?"

"Eh? This... my nephew has never thought about it. Please show me, Uncle Cai."

Li Li's expression changed slightly, and he answered frankly amidst a lot of thoughts.

Cai Yong seemed to have known Li Li would have such a reaction for a long time, and said solemnly: "Wenchang, in you, the old man saw the shadow of another person, and that person is Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun. Thoughtful, humble and polite, with great ambitions, she looks like a hero. The most important thing is...you both like Zhao Ji!

In the past, Cao Cao was in my house just like you were before. He treated the old man like a nephew with the utmost humility, and he was even more caring for Zhao Ji, giving her gifts every day.It's just that Zhao Ji fell in love with Wei Zhongdao at that time, while Cao Cao was older and looked different from ordinary people, so the old man directly rejected Cao Cao.

What the old man didn't expect was that Wei Zhongdao was suffering from an old illness, and within half a year of getting married to Zhao Ji, he fell ill, and then he became seriously ill, and unfortunately died young.It doesn't matter that he let go, but he hurt Zhaoji, and was not tolerated by the Wei family, and was regarded as a witch and evil star.The old man felt deeply guilty about this, and often felt sorry for Zhao Ji. If the old man hadn't rejected Cao Cao outright, perhaps Zhao Ji's fate would not have been so miserable.

Wenchang, did you understand what the old man said? "

At this moment, Li Li's heart was shaking violently, and he even had a little shortness of breath. He never thought that Cai Yan had such a relationship with Cao Cao.

According to historical records, eight years after Cai Yan was taken captive by the Southern Huns to the grasslands, Cao Cao went north to conquer the grasslands and redeemed her from the Huns with a lot of money.

It turned out that Cai Yan was actually Cao Cao's first love. No wonder Cao Cao spent a lot of money to redeem her when he was old.In the end, although Cao Cao failed to fulfill his long-cherished wish and embrace the beauty, he also won the reputation of a Wen Ji returning to Han.

Women in the Han Dynasty were able to obtain characters only after they got married, so there is a saying of "waiting for characters in the boudoir".

However, Cai Yan's character was originally Zhao Ji, but later the Sima family stole the world, Zhao Ji changed "Zhao" to "Wen" because of avoiding the taboo of Sima Zhao's name, so she was called "Cai Wenji".

Thinking of the allusions of later generations in his heart, for a while, Li Lizhen didn't know whether he should be happy or angry, and he didn't realize that his feud with Cao Cao was so deep.

The whole family of the Li family in Beidi County was destroyed by Cao Cao, and Cai Yan was also someone he coveted for a long time and never forgot.

However, time and space are revolving, and everything will start all over again. As long as I, Li Li, exist in the world, I vow to deal with Cao Aman to the end.

You, Cao Cao, can compete for thousands of miles of land, but can't I, Li Li, compete for the world?

Cai Yan is your first love, but now she is the fat on my lips, how can I easily miss her?

It's not that enemies don't get together, the ancients never deceive me.

After a lot of thought, Li Li also understood the meaning of Cai Yong's words, "It seems that this old man agrees with his thoughts. I want to worship him as my father-in-law. He really has the intention of accepting me as his son-in-law."

Feeling complacent in his heart, Li Li pretended to be ignorant, and said honestly: "Uncle Cai, this kind of thing..., uh, my nephew really doesn't dare to speculate on his own, so as not to spoil Zhao Ji reputation."

"Ok?"

Cai Yong let out a cry of astonishment, and stared at Li Li with a pair of insightful eyes that could penetrate people's hearts, with a solemn expression.

After a long while, a sly smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a deep voice: "Wenchang, I thought you liked the little girl before, but it seems that I am really old-eyed and foolish. Since you have no such intention, then I have nothing to say." I said it. How about this, stay at the mansion for lunch, and then you are ready to go to Wuwei to take office."

"Ah! Uncle Cai, you have misunderstood my nephew. What I mean is, I really like Zhao Ji. I don't know what you want?"

Suddenly forced to a dead end by Cai Yong, Li Li immediately became anxious, no longer reserved, and directly expressed his thoughts.

But as soon as he said the words, Li Li knew that he had followed Mrs. Cai's way.Too impatient, caring too much about Cai Yan, easily let the old guy talk out of his heart.

But a man is a big man, he spits a nail.Now that he has made it clear, Li Li can face it calmly.

"Hehehe! This is the real good man!"

Cai Yong said with a smile.Immediately, his complexion changed, and he said solemnly: "Wenchang, since you are interested in Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji has a good impression of you, I will naturally not step in and act evil. On the contrary, I will I will do my best to help you achieve success, and I only hope that you will treat Zhao Ji kindly in the future and don't let her get hurt.

Although Liangzhou is in chaos and the feudal lords are separated, the people there are simple and honest, the sky is high and the land is vast, and it is not as boring as Chang'an City.When you set off, take Zhao Ji away and let her go out with you to relax.Otherwise, she would have a sad face all day long, which would make the old man feel distressed. "

"Ah! Uncle Cai, you... you said you want me to take Zhao Ji away?" Li Li asked inexplicably in shock.

Cai Yong looked at Li Li solemnly, nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, Zhao Ji will be entrusted to you! I hope the old man is right this time, and find someone who can really trust Zhao Ji for life!"

Li Li's current thinking really can't keep up with Cai Yong's thinking.He never expected, how could Cai Yong give Cai Yan to himself so easily?

Why?Could it be that he has a good face and is so easy to be trusted?

"Uncle Cai, do you really trust me so much? Are you afraid that I'm a white-eyed wolf who gained your trust only to obtain an official position; after taking advantage of Zhao Ji, I will abandon her?"

Now that the matter has been clarified, Li Li no longer has any scruples and asked directly.

Cai Yong stared at Li Li, and said softly, "Are you such a person?"

Li Li was speechless and rolled his eyes.

Cai Yong's expression was complicated, and he continued solemnly: "Wenchang should understand the situation of the old man now. The old man is sandwiched between Wang Yun and other senior ministers and Dong Zhuo, in a difficult situation. Although Grand Master Dong has the upper hand right now, I have known Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others for many years, and I know the temperament of these veterans very well. At present, they are openly surrendering to Grand Master Dong, cautious and reclusive, but they are thinking about getting rid of Grand Master all the time.

The root of the disaster has been planted, and sooner or later the conflict between them will intensify and cause an uproar.And I was caught between them, I was not a human being inside and out, so I could only help each other, thank guests behind closed doors, and devote myself to writing books.When they decide the winner, that is, the day when I, Cai Yong, is in great trouble, it is still difficult to be alone.

So, taking advantage of the fact that the old man is still a bit thin-skinned, I have the audacity to find you an official position, take Zhao Ji away, and stay away from the place of right and wrong.Enemies that are openly robbed are not terrible. The truly terrible enemies often come from the acquaintances around or behind you.The old man believes that a person who can defeat even a famous general like Zhu Jun will definitely not fall into the hands of a group of Xiliang reckless men, and you will be safe and sound.

The old man is a little tired, so go back to the room to rest first, and Wenchang can take care of himself. "

Cai Yong was really tired, but a generation of Confucian scholars was dragged into the cracks of political contests, exhausted physically and mentally, as if walking on thin ice.

Chapter 51 Knocking on the Widow's Door in the Middle of the Night

The setting sun is setting, and the setting sun is as red as fire.

Li Li returned to the house exhausted physically and mentally, with a tired look on his face.

All day today, he didn't rest for a moment.

He rushed to Cai's mansion in the morning, what Cai Yong said made Li Li both happy and disappointed, and his heart was heavy.

In the afternoon, he went to the Grand Master's Mansion to thank Dong Zhuo face to face. After listening to Dong Zhuo nagging and exhorting him for a long time, his legs were numb from standing.

After leaving Taishi's mansion, Li Li went to Chang'an Daying to visit Xu Rong's troops stationed in Gyeonggi.

It's just that he didn't see Xu Rong himself. It wasn't that Xu Rong Zhonglang was putting on airs on purpose, but that Xu Rong was not in the barracks.

Then Li Li talked with Fan Chou and Fan Yong's uncle and nephew for an hour, and his ultimate goal was to take Fan Yong away and go to Wuwei County with him.

Fan Chou immediately hesitated, as if he didn't want his nephew Fan Yong to follow Li Li to disturb the muddy water in Liangzhou Bay.

But Fan Yong agreed with all his heart, and he was very excited to go to Liangzhou with Li Li, and he was willing to demote himself from the official position to serve as Li Li's deputy.

Seeing that his nephew had agreed to Li Li, Fan Chou had nothing to do about it.

Because he deeply knows that his nephew Fan Yong is very good in all aspects, with extraordinary talent and physical strength, and he may become a top fighter like Lu Bu in a few years.

However, in Fan Chou's eyes, his nephew Fan Yong has a fatal flaw.That is, he has been obedient to Li Li since he was a child, and he has worshiped brothers with Li Li and his brothers. He respects Li Li more than he does his uncle; maybe one day, Li Li will sell him , He also counts money for others.

Fortunately, Fan Chou also knew that Li Li's character was not bad, he was smart since he was a child, and he was definitely the best in his nephew's generation.

In addition, Li Li was brave and good at fighting when he first entered the battlefield. He defeated Zhu Jun's tens of thousands of troops in the first battle and captured the veteran Zhu Jun alive.Such achievements have long been spread throughout the Xiliang Army, and it can be said that their reputation has risen and their future generations are formidable.
