Cai Yan felt his whole body tremble when Wen Du gently pinched his right cheek. Later, he felt his cheeks heating up. Even though it was getting late, Cai Yan knew that his face must have turned into a red apple again...

"Didn't you go to rest, sir? Why did you come to me?" Feeling Wen Du's fiery gaze, Cai Yan could only lower his head when speaking, not daring to meet his eyes.

But Wen Du was so shameless that she didn't feel shy. He kept stroking his hands and explained to her: "I'm thirsty, come here and get a glass of water."

"That's it..." After Cai Yan heard this, he quickly walked back to help pour the water. As soon as he turned around, he saw Wen Du coming behind him.

"My lord, please use it." Cai Yan respectfully handed the tea cup to Wen Du's hand, and kept watching the man in front of him drink up the tea.

"Sir, if you want to quench your thirst, please go back and rest first."

Wen Du did not respond to Cai Yan's request. Instead, he opened his arms and embraced the soft and delicate body in front of him.

In just a moment, Cai Yan clearly felt that her whole body was starting to feel hot, but she did not choose to struggle away. Instead, she stretched out her arms and hugged Wen Du's fairly broad back.

Feeling the movement, Wen Du buried his face in Cai Yan's neck and hair, feeling the fragrance of the beauty...

After hugging each other for nearly five minutes, Cai Yan patted Wen Du on the back and said, "Sir, I'm a little sleepy..."

After hearing the request, Wen Du reluctantly let go of the beauty in his arms. "I originally wanted to talk to you about something, but my mind was suddenly empty."

"Then just wait until tomorrow. No matter how long the adults want to talk, I will always listen."

Feeling the comfort of Cai Yan's soft words, Wen Du became more and more reluctant to let go of these little hands. "Before going back to the house, can you let me kiss you?"

"No, naturally this matter must be left until after we get married. After all, this is still the little girl's first kiss, and I want to present it to the adults at that time."

Wen Du, who originally thought that Cai Yan would refuse, really didn't expect that she would have such thoughts. In order not to destroy her good wishes, Wen Du forcibly suppressed the desires in his heart and nodded in approval: "

Although I'm a little disappointed, I will wait until that day. I'm leaving and you can have a good rest."

"Same, my lord."

Watching Wen Du's figure completely disappear into the night, Cai Yan closed the door. However, the sleepiness mentioned just now was just an excuse. The real reason was that he felt his own body in Wen Du's touch and breathing.

My body is getting hotter and hotter. If I stay with him for a while, it's hard to guarantee that I won't be deceived and have an impulsive relationship...

After having a cordial exchange with Cai Yan last night, Wen Du kept staring at her with a kind expression the next morning, which made Cai Yan's skin crawl.

Cai Yong, who noticed the strange feeling between the two of them while eating, also asked about it, but after watching his daughter talk about what he meant, he quickly figured it out, and then said that he wanted to

Go out to talk to Dong Cheng and ask Wen Du to pay attention to himself.

I don’t know whether it was the pressure from Cai Yong, or whether it was because he didn’t want to see his beloved in trouble again. Wen Du, who was alone with Cai Yan, didn’t do anything extraordinary at all, and was just chatting with her normally...

After finishing the chat with Cai Yan, Wen Du went out. However, he could not ride his beloved horse Jian Jia because he was traveling by water. He could only find a horse with a temperament similar to Jian Jia in Cai's residence instead.

The destination is Liu Bei's house, which he hasn't seen for a long time.

What Ling Wendu didn't expect was that the person who went to inform him was a servant, but it was Liu Bei who came to open the door and take him in. In terms of character, Liu Bei was really a rare and loyal person in the world. If it weren't for Sun Jian's kindness to him

Like a mountain, I'm afraid Wendu will fall under Liu Bei's "pomegranate skirt" at this moment...

After entering the house, several pairs of eyes looked at him, and Wen Du could not help but whisper: "Mr. Xuande, there are many more people in this room than before..."

"My dear brother, don't panic, let me introduce you. These two are my same clan, my elder brother Liu Dai, my younger brother Liu Yao, and this is Bao Xin. This man's bravery is not as strong as Yun Chang, and his virtue is not much inferior."

"Generals, Wen Du is very polite!" On the surface, he was greeting everyone warmly, but in his heart, he was murmuring again. "Why did Liu Dai come here? Wasn't he killed by Cao Cao? He still had it with him."

Bao Xin...]

With his mind full of doubts, Wen Du asked for advice: "Mr. Xuande, did a man named Zhou Cang come here before?"

"There is indeed such a person. Speaking of this, I would also like to thank my dear brother."

"Huh?" Wen Du made a sound of confusion and asked Liu Bei for an explanation.

Liu Bei poured the wine eagerly and explained kindly: "My dear brother, you should know that Zhou Cang was originally a Yellow Turban. I asked him to go out to recruit soldiers. He originally thought that it would be a blessing to recruit thousands of soldiers, but he didn't.

I think he directly helped me find 30,000 people, as well as two generals. They are all Yellow Turbans, and their qualifications are uneven, but after the training of the second brother and General Yu Jin, most of them have reached the level of fighting.

"

"That's it..." Listening to Liu Bei's summary, Wen Du felt that the tea in his hand was no longer fragrant. He obviously just wanted to bring a sword stand, so why did he bring an army? And Yu Jin, this

But the big boss of the army, how come such talents have come to Jizhou?

Although he felt very unhappy in his heart, Wen Du put on a smiling face and congratulated him: "Congratulations to Mr. Xuande. First, you got a few strong generals, and then you raised a large army. But I don't understand. You guys have brought this army together."

It's hidden somewhere, didn't Yuan Shao notice it?"

Regarding this question, Liu Bei was still hesitating whether to tell the truth. Liu Dai, who was standing next to him, directly answered: "General, don't worry, the place where the army is placed is absolutely secret, and Yuan Shao will definitely not notice it."

Unlike Liu Bei, Liu Dai was very wary of Wendu's sudden appearance, so he kept his answer vague and did not give a specific location.

When Wen Du saw this, he understood that the other party was guarding against him, so he did not intend to continue asking questions, lest he bring trouble to himself.

"Brother Xian, I haven't told you why I came here this time."

Wen Du, who had been calculating in his mind, finally came to his senses after hearing Liu Bei's inquiry. He smiled and explained, "I'm not satisfied with my brother. I'm here to meet Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Yan."

"Oh? Is it possible that the wise brother is friends with this talented woman?" [Friends? Overthinking...] After complaining in his heart, Wen Du told him happily: "I am not satisfied with Xuande Gong, she is my little brother's fiancée, this time

I came here hoping to take him back to Yangzhou."

After everyone present heard this, their eyes widened one after another, which shows how exciting this news is!

"After I came here, I often heard that the daughter of the Cai family is a rare talented woman in this generation. It is a match made in heaven for a heroic young man like the general to marry her!"

Here Liu Yao first congratulated him, and Liu Bei followed him and said: "As Brother Zhengli said, my virtuous brother is not only talented in the world, but now he has brought back a beautiful woman, which makes others envious. At this moment, he is anxious.

I don’t know what to give you as a gift..."

Feeling the goodwill of Liu Bei and others, Wen Du shook his hand and begged him: "Originally, I thought about taking Cai Zhonglang back, but he made it clear that he wanted to live and die with the emperor. I respect his choice, so

I also ask Xuande Gong to take more care of him and Wang Yun and his daughter in the future, so as not to let anything happen to them."

"Cai Zhonglang and Wang Situ are both patriotic and loyal to the emperor. Even if the virtuous brother does not speak, I will do my best to protect them!" Liu Bei gave a righteous guarantee. For him, as long as he is willing,

Those who help others are my own family members, and I will never be vague when it comes to helping.

"Thank you Mr. Xuande. If you are willing to pay, then I will not let you suffer. Mr. Xuande, please remember that within half a year at most, there will be chaos in Yuzhou, and it will involve the entire Central Plains. At that time,

This is your best chance to protect the emperor and escape from the prison."

Wen Du's remarks shocked everyone present again. Liu Bei quickly asked: "How can you know such a thing, my dear brother? Do you know astronomy and geography?"

"That's too much. I don't have this ability..." Astronomy and geography? Those who can understand this must be big men like Zhuge Liang and Zuo Ci. "Anyway, when the time comes, you can choose to go north to Youyou."

You can also go to Bingzhou to find Zhang Yang or Xuzhou to find Tao Qian. These two are considered loyal ministers. If you want to go south, you must take the waterway and never pass through Cao Cao's territory!"

That's right, first bury the seeds of Cao Cao's possible rebellion, and then urge Liu Bei to go north to guard the border. This way you can avoid facing Sun Jian head-on, and lay the foundation for expansion beyond the Great Wall in advance, killing two birds with one stone.

It can't be said that his heart is with Wu Ying and his heart is with Han, because what Wen Du has in mind is still the previous ideal of preventing heroes from killing each other. He will not betray Sun Jian, who has been so kind to him, but he also won't betray him.

If Liu Bei, who is dedicated to supporting Han, dies, then he can only provide guidance in this regard, but in the end, there may still be a battle between the two sides.

"Thank you dear brother for reminding me, I will always pay attention to the trends in the south!" Seeing that Wen Du did not want to explain the reason, Liu Bei himself would not ask too many questions.

"To digress, does Mr. Xuande know about the Zhen family, a wealthy businessman in Hebei?"

"I have heard a little bit that after Yuan Shao became the state pastor, the relationship between the two parties has developed rapidly. Now the Zhen family has replaced the Han family as his biggest and strongest supporters."

Wen Du grasped an important point from the reply. The Zhen family chose Yuan Shao instead of Liu Bei. This shows that in his eyes, the potential of Yuan Benchu, the fourth generation and third prince, is far greater than that of Liu Xuande, a descendant of the Han Dynasty...
