EBE Chapter 185 Su Yu: Youruo, listen to me, don't go back to Yuan's camp!
Chapter 185 Su Yu: Youruo, listen to me, don't go back to Yuan's camp!
"Wenruo, I won't hide it from you."
"I have come here to ask my lord for an official position."
In the study
Xun Chen laid his cards on the table with Xun Yu.
Of course, even if he didn't say it, Xun Yu could guess why Xun Chen had come.
As the exclusive envoy from Yuan Shao's camp to Cao Cao's camp, wasn't that exactly what Xun Chen did?
Xun Yu poured Xun Chen a cup of tea and said in a gentle tone:
"Brother, may I ask you what kind of official position Yuan Benchu wants?"
Xun Chen laughed and said:
"That shouldn't be hard to guess, right?"
"My lord, as the leader of all the noble families in the world, desires nothing more than the position of Grand General."
Xun Yu thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
But he remained outwardly calm and replied:
"If you don't give me the position of Grand General, how about giving me the position of Prime Minister?"
Xun Chen slightly flicked his sleeve, feigning anger, and said:
"Does Wenruo think this is a market where he can haggle at will?"
"The position of Prime Minister was originally abolished; it was a restoration by the old traitor Dong Zhuo. To give him the position of Prime Minister would be to harm my lord."
"Apart from the position of Grand General, nothing else will do."
At this moment, Xun Chen represented Yuan Shao and the face of Yuan's camp, and had nothing to do with his brotherhood with Xun Yu.
Xun Yu sighed:
"What my brother said is true."
"But what kind of official position I can get still needs His Majesty's approval."
“If His Majesty does not agree, even if my Minister Cao is willing to give it, it would be without legal basis.”
Xun Chen rolled his eyes.
Just listen to this nonsense, don't take it seriously.
Everyone knows that Liu Xie was just a puppet.
As long as Cao Cao nodded, Liu Xie could grant Yuan Shao any title.
Having spent quite some time at the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat's residence, Xun Chen asked Xun Yu:
"Wenruo, when may I go to see Minister Cao?"
"It's almost dark, are we going to have to wait until tomorrow?"
Xun Yu, with an apologetic expression, said to Xun Chen:
"Brother, I'm so sorry, my lord is unwell and I'm afraid he won't be able to see you for the next couple of days."
“Once my lord is feeling a little better, I will personally introduce you to him, brother.”
Xun Chen nodded.
Although time is tight, he can wait two or three days.
It's alright. I'll spend the next two or three days with my younger brother Xun Yu and younger sister Xun Cai, and reminisce about our brotherly and sisterly bond.
……
three days later
Xun Chen grew increasingly impatient staying at the Xun residence, but still failed to gain the right to meet Cao Cao.
Even Xun Yu, busy with government affairs these past two days, only allowed Xun Cai and Xu Chu to accompany Xun Chen on a tour of Xuchang.
"Is Cao Mengde deliberately trying to stall me?"
Xun Chen was extremely nervous.
Cao Cao's camp is not a good place.
I heard there's a bunch of thugs around here.
And then there's Xu Chu, who always stands behind Xun Chen with his bull-like eyes glaring at him.
Even when Xun Chen went to the toilet, Xu Chu would follow him and stand guard at the door.
Xun Chen was genuinely afraid that if he wasn't careful, Xu Chu would put him in a sack and throw him into the toilet pit!
Don't be fooled by the fact that he is Xun Yu's fourth brother.
But in a place like Cao Cao's camp, where martial ethics are disregarded, who can say for sure what will happen next?
After much waiting, on the sixth day after Xun Chen arrived in Xuchang, things finally made progress.
"What?"
"Should I go see Su Ziyi?"
Xun Chen, his face full of shock, pointed to himself and then to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu smiled and said:
"Yes."
"My lord, Minister Cao, is still not fully recovered from his illness."
"But Lord Weiwei, also known as Ziyi, is now alive and kicking."
Xun Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
Who the hell is Su Yu?
Back then, it was Su Yu who, taking advantage of Xun Chen's first mission to Cao Cao's camp, entrusted Xun Chen to deliver a letter to Xun Yu.
Xun Chen was foolish and naive at the time.
Little did they know that Su Yu was secretly plotting something!
Who would have thought that after reading Su Yu's letter, Xun Yu would run away from Ye City and rush to Dongjun to join Cao Cao!
To put it simply, Xun Yu's defection to Cao Cao, setting aside Xun Yu's own factors...
Su Yu should take at least 80% of the blame, while Xun Chen should take the remaining 20%.
Right now, Xun Chen had no choice but to meet Su Yu, and naturally he was trembling with fear, cold sweat pouring down his face.
suddenly.
Xu Chu glared at Xun Chen with his bull-like eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and greeted him:
Do you have a problem with my husband?
After saying that, Xu Chu rubbed his palms together, revealing an eager expression.
Xun Chen: "???"
Honestly, at this moment, Xun Chen felt that his great-grandmother was beckoning to him.
What the hell!
Can you please not be so scary?
Xun Yu smiled slightly, signaling Xu Chu to give Xun Chen some face.
He's his fourth brother, after all. If he really gets beaten up, Xun Yu will definitely feel bad.
However, under Xu Chu's constant surveillance, Xun Chen's psychological pressure was immense.
Xun Yu could only silently repeat in his heart:
"Go for it, Fourth Brother, you can do it!"
"Ziyi may be a bit bad, but he's not so bad as to be rotten to the core. He's just bad enough to make you lose your bearings..."
……
Guard Commandery
Cao Ang stood respectfully beside Su Yu.
Under Su Yu's careful guidance, Cao Ang is now increasingly showing the demeanor of a ruler.
To put it bluntly, even if Boss Cao suddenly died right now...
With the support of Su Yu and other members of the imperial clan, such as Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Hong.
Cao Ang will soon be able to take over the legacy left by Cao Cao and arrange everything in an orderly manner.
Of course, Su Yu had no intention of harming Cao Cao.
When it comes to starting a business, you need Mr. Cao.
Cao Ang will likely focus more on governing the country in the future.
After finishing his lessons for the day, Cao Ang cupped his hands in greeting to Su Yu:
"Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will take my leave now."
Su Yu interrupted:
"Ang'er, don't rush off yet."
"Stay here for a moment. Come with me to meet Xun Chen later and enjoy a great show!"
Cao Ang naturally felt it was better to obey than to refuse.
Soon, Xun Chen, led by Xu Chu, arrived at the gate of the Commandant of the Guards' residence.
"Sir, I, Old Xu, have missed you so much!"
Having not seen Su Yu for several days, Xu Chu excitedly gave Su Yu a bear hug.
"Pah! You idiot, you're just pretending to miss me."
"It's obvious that the food at Wenruo's residence is too bland, and you can't get used to it, can you?"
"Hehe~~~ The gentleman found out."
Xu Chu scratched his head sheepishly.
This appearance was in stark contrast to the scene where he had threatened Xun Chen earlier.
At this moment, Xun Chen really wanted to question Xu Chu:
"Are you always this sycophantic on a daily basis?"
"Where did that madman Xu Chu, who just threatened me, go? Tell me, where did he go?!"
Of course, Xun Chen was just indulging in his own self-satisfaction.
For him to open his mouth and question Xu Chu is like an old man hanging himself—he's tired of living!
"Brother Youruo, we meet again."
Su Yu said meaningfully.
"Yes, we meet again..."
Xun Chen was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.
But on the surface, he had to pretend to be very much looking forward to meeting Su Yu.
"Brother Youruo, has this trip come to visit Wenruo?"
"Why not settle down in Xuchang?"
"The housing prices in Xuchang are not expensive. Brother Youruo has worked like a slave in Yuanying for many years. Bah, he has worked hard in Yuanying for many years. He can definitely afford to buy a house."
"After we buy the house, we'll bring my sister-in-law and her child over."
"I'm so happy here that I don't even miss Ye City!"
"Zhongkang, why don't you hurry up and help Brother Youruo buy a house so he can settle down in Xuchang?"
"Yes!"
Xu Chu turned and left, very obediently.
Xun Chen was dumbfounded!
What kind of nonsense is it for a subject under Yuan Shao to buy a house and settle down in Xuchang?
Will he still be working for Yuan Ying after this?
