Chapter 410: Said that famous quote
Everyone in the manor was stunned. They looked over and saw two men riding horses outside the manor gate, each carrying a sword behind them, looking exhausted.
According to his age, Cao Cao was only in his twenties at the time. But the ancients liked to grow beards, which made him look shabby and old. At first glance, he looked like he was in his thirties or forties.
Seeing that there was another person following him, Zhong Jialing couldn't help but ask in Luo Jiu's ear: "The one who just spoke was Cao Cao, who is the one behind him?"
Luo Jiu whispered, "The famous counselor of the Three Kingdoms, Chen Gong Chen Gongtai."
As he spoke, Lü Bushe came forward with a big laugh, "Nephew, I saw the imperial court's arrest warrant and I'm very worried. Your father is hiding in Chenliu, why are you here? Come in quickly."
Lü Bushe's son immediately stepped forward to take the horse, and Cao Cao pulled Chen Gong forward and introduced him to Lü Bushe.
After assassinating Dong Zhuo, he fled in a hurry and passed through Zhongmou County, where he was captured by the soldiers guarding the pass. The magistrate of Zhongmou County was Chen Gong.
Chen Gong was also a ruthless man. When he heard Cao Cao's ambition to serve the country in prison, he was greatly impressed. He immediately decided to follow Cao Cao, quit his official position, packed up his bags and fled with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao said to Lü Bushe, "Thanks to Chen Gongtai, otherwise my nephew would have died."
Lü Bushe immediately bowed to Chen Gong and invited them to rest together in the manor.
The three of them walked in together. Only then did Cao Cao notice that Feng Qi was standing in the yard with a sword in his hand. Luo Jiu and others standing beside him were also strangers.
Cao Cao looked them up and down, "Who are these people..."
Luo Jiu bowed and said, "I am Luo Jiu. I travel around the world with my relatives to perform for a living. I passed by here and was invited by Master Lu to stay here for a while."
Cao Cao's sharp eyes swept over Luo Jiu, but he was a little surprised to see that she spoke fluently and with sonorous words, unlike the humble and submissive women of the time.
Normally, unmarried girls should avoid men outside their family, but these girls don't mind.
Cao Cao had been an official all his life and had not come into contact with many people from the underworld, so he thought that they were not particular about trivial matters.
He looked at them with scrutiny, and they looked at him without hesitation. He had already stated that he was a criminal, but there was no fear in their eyes. Cao Cao naturally did not dare to neglect them, so he clasped his fists and said in return: "I am a criminal, Cao Cao."
Lü Bushe said proudly, "In that case, let's not be too high or too low. Meeting is fate. Come, come, sit down together. Mother, go get all the food and drinks from home to entertain A Man Gong Tai and these friends."
When Lü Bushe's wife went to get some food, Lü Bushe stood up again and said, "Aman loves to drink, but we don't have any good wine at home. I'll go to the town to buy some."
Luo Jiu quickly stopped him and said that this wine could not be bought.
In the original novel, Cao Cao mistakenly killed eight members of his family when he was buying wine. After killing them, Cao Cao realized that he had killed the wrong person and fled with Chen Gong. On the way, Cao Cao met Lü Bushe who was coming back from buying wine. Cao Cao decided to kill Lü Bushe as well.
At that time, Chen Gong was extremely shocked and said that it would be fine if you killed him by mistake at the beginning, but why did you still kill Lü Bushe?
Cao Cao said confidently, "If I don't kill him, he will go home and find out that I killed his family. He will definitely go to the government to sue me and bring people to kill me." Then he said the famous saying, "I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me."
Chen Gong was so angry at these heartless words that he ran away overnight.
This time Luo Jiu decided to start with the details and not let Lu Bushe go out first.
She said, "We brought some wine in our bags, Yaoyao, take it out and let's drink together."
Cheng Yaoyao was stunned for a moment. They were planning to look for Pan Jinlian, so how could they put wine in a simple travel bag?
But since Luo Jiu said yes, she pretended to rummage around, took out two bottles of white wine from the space, and then took them out from her bag.
Cao Cao picked up the bottle and squinted his eyes to examine it carefully. He could not quite recognize the words on it. "What kind of wine is this?"
Cheng Yaoyao said calmly: "Wuliangye, you are not used to this, there is also Maotai."
"Moutai?" Cao Cao asked Chen Gong hurriedly, "Brother Gongtai, have you heard of this wine?"
