Lin Han was surprised that Cao Cao came.
If you think about it carefully, it seems not far from Cao Cao's residence in Luoyang.
"Master Xiao, how are you?" Cao Cao looked around Lin Han's mansion and said, "My servants said they saw Master Xiao. I was confused. I didn't expect you to actually come to Luoyang."
"I just arrived today, Lord Cao, congratulations on your promotion."
Lin Han also bowed to congratulate him. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao was promoted and now is the peak period of his career.
"Hahahahahaha..." Cao Cao laughed heartily. When he saw Dian Wei beside Lin Han, his eyes lit up with amazement. "This warrior looks familiar. Why does it seem like he's seen me before? Did I see him in a dream?"
Lin Han was shocked.
Holy crap.
If the normal course of events had continued, Dian Wei should have been a powerful general under Cao Cao, but he was intercepted by Lin Han.
He was actually familiar with it.
You don’t know shit, just dream about it.
"Master Cao, this is my elder brother Dian Wei."
"A warrior with such vigor and blood, he is truly a divine general, like the E Lai of ancient times."
Cao Cao exclaimed in admiration, feeling itchy in his heart, but with Lin Han beside him, he couldn't speak up to poach him, yet he also felt like he had lost a beloved general.
I really want to poach his employees.
"I have nothing to do, Lord Xiao. It's rare for us to meet again in Luoyang. Can we have a drink together?" Cao Cao said.
"It's my pleasure."
Lin Han asked Dian Wei to guard the mansion while he left with Cao Cao.
Downstairs of Fangze Pavilion, Lin Han looked at the beauties in front of the door and was speechless for a moment.
Cao Cao brought him to Fangze Pavilion again.
A divine man.
"Oh, Lord Cao is here, girls, Lord Cao is here." The brothel owner who was welcoming guests at the door was ecstatic when she saw Cao Cao.
Cao Cao is a super VIP and regular customer of Fangze Pavilion.
As soon as the madam gave the order, more than a dozen girls came over with undisguised looks in their eyes.
"Master Cao, I miss you so much."
"Master Cao, you are here. I missed you so much."
“…”
"And this Master Xiao, ladies, quickly take the two masters to the private room in the attic."
The brothel owner recognized Lin Han.
Last time, Fangze Pavilion surpassed all the heroes and spent ten thousand taels of gold to redeem Lai Ying'er. She was deeply impressed by his talents in both civil and military affairs.
Later, Ying'er sent people here to redeem Su Xiaoxiao and Li Shishi. Naturally, she was more impressed because they were both generous people.
As expected, Lin Han was also taken advantage of.
"Madam, the old rules apply." Cao Cao walked into Fangze Pavilion with women on both sides, laughing heartily.
The brothel owner next to them smiled in surprise, while the girls next to them were full of anger.
"How could that be?" Cao Cao laughed a few times and drank a glass of wine: "I'll come to see you next time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. We should give them a chance to meet new people."
The madam signaled the girls around to step back.
For a moment, the private rooms were quite empty.
"Master Cao, there are indeed two new people. One is a drunkard who sold his wife to pay for alcohol. This wife is as beautiful as a flower and very pretty. The other is a gambler who owed money and was beaten to death. His wife was sold to Fangze Pavilion by the creditor to pay off the debt. She has just been trained and can sing and dance. She has many talents."
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's expression brightened and he laughed heartily.
"Go and bring them here."
"Okay, where's Master Xiao?"
"I share the same interests as Brother Cao."
"Hahahahahahahaha...Brother Xiao is a wonderful person." Cao Cao laughed.
"It's true. I'll bring it up to Lord Xiao." The brothel owner quickly interrupted.
Soon, four young and charming women came in.
Cao Cao directly embraced the two people in his arms and laughed heartily.
"This is Shufen, and this is Wu Yun." After introducing the person in Cao Cao's arms, the brothel owner turned around and introduced the two sisters beside Lin Han: "This is Li Yan, and this is Han Yan."
"My lords, please enjoy your meal. You can use me if you need anything."
The madam left the compartment, and only six people were left in the room.
Cao Cao looked at Lin Han and said, "Sir Xiao, are you coming to Luoyang on some important matter?"
"It's an important matter, I guess." Lin Han nodded and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp: "The emperor has issued an edict, allowing you to pay gold to be promoted, to buy land and titles, and that's why I came here."
"Master Xiao wants to buy an official position?"
Cao Cao's expression suddenly changed slightly, his brows furrowed, and he looked a little unhappy.
Lin Han noticed the subtle change in Cao Cao's expression.
Jia Xu had said to Tian Feng that buying an official position would be despised by scholars throughout the country, and now it seemed to be true. If he had really mentioned buying an official position, Cao Cao would have immediately distanced himself from him.
A man of integrity will not associate with those who buy official positions.
"No, as for fame and titles, talented people can apply for the title of filial and honest official. If one buys an official position, where will the heroes and scholars of the world be placed? I don't buy an official position, I only buy land." Lin Han said lightly.
Hearing this, Cao Cao's expression relaxed and he smiled again.
"Why did Lord Xiao buy the land?"
"During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, refugees were everywhere, and my territory received countless refugees. Now, there are too many people and too little land in my fiefdom. I can only use up all my money to buy some land from the emperor to feed the people."
"Lord Xiao, your righteousness is greater than mine. I offer you a toast." Cao Cao raised his glass in admiration and said, "Just now I thought that Lord Xiao was buying an official position and was unhappy about it. Now I think I was just being mean."
"Lord Cao, there is no need to do this. I also despise the idea of buying official positions." Lin Han clinked his glass with him.
"Master Xiao, how much land do you want to buy this time?"
"I brought five hundred thousand taels of gold. How much I can buy depends on the grace of His Majesty."
"Five hundred thousand taels of gold... Lord Xiao is so rich!" Cao Cao complained with some envy.
"This is all the savings I've earned from my hard work in running Hanjiang City. Lord Cao, you've won great honors by suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion. You have a promising future ahead of you, far more valuable than these few taels of silver. This is a legitimate official title, far more than what those who buy their positions can achieve."
