A smile appeared on Cao Cao's face.

"Wen Ruo also knows me!"

Immediately, he hurriedly frowned.

"Calculating the timing, the food and grass should have arrived!"

"Has there been any news?"

Xun Yu shook his head.

"There won't be another accident, right?" Xiahou Dun blurted out.

But immediately, he hastily covered his mouth with his hand.

Cao Cao glared at Xiahou Dun.

"Yuan asked you to say what!"

"The Wei family is going to Jizhou this time. When the letter came two days ago, they had already arrived at the border of Jizhou."

"Jizhou is Yuan Benchu's territory, so Xiaoxiao dares to make any changes!"

His face is full of confidence.

Nowadays, Yuan Shao's army is powerful, and there is a faint tendency to become the number one prince in the north.

Who dares to rub Yuan Benchu's tiger beard on Yuan Benchu's territory!

The three of them walked out together.

Along the way, the three talked and laughed.

Seeing that the food and grass were about to arrive, Cao Cao was in a great mood.

Although his face was still a little pale, his complexion was quite good.

At this moment, Yiqi came galloping from a distance.

He flew down from the horse and bowed to Cao Cao.

"My lord, it's not a big deal! Forage...for it..."

Cao Cao asked eagerly, "What's wrong with the grain and grass?"

"Food and grass have been robbed!" The scout reported.

"Ah! My head!" Cao Cao cried out in pain.

Then he fell to the ground again.

Both Xiahou Dun and Xun Yu panicked.

Xiahou Dun immediately carried Cao Cao on his back and headed towards the Sheriff's Mansion.

……

Hedong County.

Wei's house.

At this time, countless people were waiting at the door of Wei's house.

Zhou Guanshi came forward to report.

"Patriarch, outside our manor, there are more people coming to buy food!"

Wei Cheng snorted softly.

"No! Tell them all to go back!"

There was a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Right now, the whole city is in short supply of food. I must sell my [-] shi at a sky-high price!"

"In this way, we can make up for our previous deficit."

Outside guards will come in.

"Patriarch, the Pei family, Wang family, and Xue family are here!"

"No!" Wei Cheng subconsciously refused.

"Here!" The guard responded and immediately walked out.

Wei Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he stared.

"Which Pei family, Xue family, and Liu family?"

"Patriarch, Pei Qian, the son of the eldest son of Wenxi County, came here in person. The Liu family also sent the eldest son here. There is also the Xue family, and the son of the eldest son of the Xue family also came here in person!"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Cheng's face showed ecstasy.

He still didn't dare to believe it: "It's really them?"

The Pei family, the Xue family, and the Liu family are the three major families in Hedong County.

It ranks among the top three of all the aristocratic families in Hedong County, known as the Three Wangs of Hedong.

Although their Wei family is also a big family.

But it has been in decline for many years, and now it has long been reduced to a merchant's house.

There is no qualification to be compared with the Pei family, the Xue family, and the Liu family.

Normally, even if they wanted to come to the door, they couldn't get in.

But now, these three families actually came in person.

For their Wei family, this is indeed a great opportunity.

Perhaps, taking this opportunity, their Wei family can still show the glory of their ancestors back then.

Thinking of this, Wei Cheng hastily straightened his clothes.

"Come on, open the front door! Welcome to the Pei family, Xue family, and Liu family!"

While speaking, he personally went out to greet her.

When he came to the door, he saw the speakers of the Pei family, the Xue family, and the Liu family walking towards him.

Wei Cheng rushed forward to meet him, bowed his body and said respectfully.

"The three young masters came here, but I am not far away to welcome you, I am disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Pei Qian smiled lightly and said, "Patriarch Wei, I'm sorry!"

The four sat down in the lobby.

Wei Cheng is very attentive.

He asked his servants to serve the best tea in their house.

Pei Qian and the three of them glanced indifferently, then pushed the tea aside.

The three of them looked at each other.

Pei Qian smiled lightly: "Patriarch Wei, we are here to ask for something!"

Wei Cheng was overjoyed.

He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Young Master Pei has something to say, you might as well say it straight!"

"If I can help you, I will definitely not refuse!"

"That's great!" Pei Qian smiled with satisfaction.

"That young master knows that people don't speak dark words!"

He said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I heard Patriarch Wei has a lot of food in his hands?"

Wei Cheng didn't know what the Pei family meant, so he hesitated a little.

Pei Qian said calmly.

"My request is very simple. Patriarch Wei will share your existing food with [-] shi for each of our three families."

Wei Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Pei is joking."

"How can my Wei family have such food now?"

"Then how much food does your Wei family have, and give it all to the three of us. How about it?" Pei Qian gently squeezed his fingers and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"This..." Wei Cheng hesitated.

But I heard Pei Qian laughing.

"The three of us are not stingy people. The price offered will naturally satisfy your Wei family."

"That's that, that's that!" Wei Cheng had a posture of ignoring the rabbit and not stalking the eagle.

Pei Qian looked at each other with the two sons of the Xue family and the Liu family, and said with a smile.

"It seems that the names of our three families are not loud enough."

"In this way, as long as you give us the [-] shi of grain, we are willing to pay ten times the price."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

No doubt he was moved.

But he held back.

Because he wants the higher good.

At this moment, a group of cavalry came flying.

The cavalry surrounded the gate of Wei's house.

The leader shouted loudly: "Little Wei Cheng, come out quickly!"

Wei Cheng's heart trembled.

He apologized to the three families, and then walked outside.

Just the scene in front of him made his heart beat wildly.

I saw that at the gate of their Wei family manor, nearly a thousand riders stood proudly on their horses with straight swords.

Surround their door with water tight!

Each of these cavalrymen had high morale, and at a glance, they knew that they were the real elite.

He didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly greeted the general.

But I heard the leader shouted in a deep voice.

"I am Xiahou Dun under Duke Cao's command! You have repeatedly deceived my lord, and today I will definitely slaughter your Wei family!"

Surrounded by many guards.

All of them panicked.

Wei Cheng was shocked.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "General Xiahou, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Xiahou Dun raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

"Ben will ask you in the future, where is the 50 shi of grain you promised us?"

Hearing Xiahou Dun's question, Wei Cheng felt a bad feeling.

But he still remained calm.

"General Xiahou, our second shipment of 50 shi of grain has already been shipped out."

"According to the time, it should have arrived in Yanzhou!"

"Nonsense!" Xiahou Dun snorted coldly.

"Until now, we have not received any food!"

"Grandpa Cao suffered another headache because of this, what should you do!"

"Impossible! This is impossible!" Wei Cheng panicked.
