Chapter 62: Parting Ways for Three Days

  Cao Hong felt somewhat out of place, after all, he had followed Cao Cao to start the army and had fought in many battles, killing people and making achievements, but at this moment, seeing Cao Xin and others, Cao Hong still had a kind of intangible sense of oppression.

  This feeling of oppression is hard to describe in words, but if I had to say it, it's as if being stared at by a pack of wolves, making it hard to breathe for a moment, even from such a far distance.

  Actually, Cao Hong didn't know that compared to the battles he had fought before, Cao Xin and others had killed more than 20,000 soldiers from Pingzhou in these few days. The remaining three hundred people were purely born out of killing, and they were also the most elite among the more than two thousand soldiers who had been killed! Would their momentum still be like that of a small sheep?

  At the same time, Cai Yong and his two daughters, who were following closely behind, saw from a distance the majestic three hundred brave warriors and couldn't help but stop in their tracks. They caught sight of Cao Xin at the forefront and immediately turned to look at him sideways.

  "Great... really scary..."

  Unexpectedly, Cai Ting suddenly curled up in her sister Cai Yan's arms. Originally wanting to take a look at Cao Xin's troops and tease them a bit, but when she really saw the scene in front of her, she completely lost her usual arrogance and instantly became like a frightened little rabbit, clinging to her sister's bosom.

  "Hehe, Dad, Ting'er is scared." Cai Yan said with a gentle stroke of the little one's face, unable to help but feel affectionate.

  "Who... who's afraid? I'm not afraid of that good-for-nothing!" She struggled free from her sister's arms and muttered to herself.

  "Alright, alright." With a low mutter of complaint, Cai Yong took another step forward. He saw Cao Xin standing in the distance, seemingly having waited for a long time. Looking at that cold and stern aura, Cai Yong suddenly stroked his beard and sighed. "Indeed a fierce general..."

  "Under the main account, Tian Nong Xiao Wei Cao Xin, has seen his uncle!" With both hands clasped in a fist, Cao Xin first saw that the person who came was actually his own uncle Cao Hong and Cao Zi Liang, and he respectfully said loudly.

  "No need for excessive courtesy..." Cao Hong hastily grasped Cao Anmin's hands, and his eyes sparkled as he carefully examined the latter from head to toe. He couldn't help but exclaim: "Excellent! I've heard for days that you, Cao Anmin, are clever and brave, causing Lü Bu's army to tremble with fear at the mere mention of your name. Today, I see that the rumors are true..."

  Cao Xin's armor still had bloodstains all over it, and although he had washed it several times by the stream earlier, he couldn't get rid of the pungent smell of blood. There were countless bloodstains covering his armor, and some parts of it were worn out, but it was unknown how many life-and-death battles he had been through.

  "An Min, you've worked hard. This time, you risked your life to infiltrate the enemy's stronghold in Yan Province and achieved a great merit. Lord Cao will surely reward you handsomely!!" Just as Cao Hong said this, he suddenly saw two enormous figures emerge from behind An Min, standing like two demons, their cold eyes fixed on him, filling him with an intangible sense of oppression once again.

  "These two are..." Cao Hong said with a slight frown.

  At this moment, Cao Hong's reaction was also seen by Cao Xin, who didn't find it strange and just smiled lightly, pointing to the people behind him, introducing them one by one: "This man is named Dian Wei, he can be considered as one of the first followers when I led the army this time. This is Xu Chu, similarly... Zhou Cang, He Qi, Liu Yi..."

  "Have seen the governor!"

  Seeing everyone bowing to him, Cao Hong listened to Cao Xin's introduction and was slightly stunned. However, seeing that the crowd was robust and exceptionally brave, he nodded thoughtfully.

  "Hahaha... People say that Ah Xin of Yuezhou cried out of desperation, but this time, I'm afraid he'll be beaten to death by the world..."

  Just then, a loud laughter suddenly came, Cao Xin was about to chat with Cao Hong, when he heard this sound, subconsciously turned his head, and it was a familiar face that suddenly entered his eyes.

  "Mr. Bai Ji!?"

  "Anmin, are you still the same Anmin who was a guest at my house that day?" Cai Yong said with a sudden smile of interest as soon as he saw Cao Xin.

  At this, Cao Xin couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "Sir, you're joking, as the saying goes, 'after three days, one should look at each other with new eyes', Cao Xin is no exception, only that he has a bit more worry and trouble now... Haha..."

  Cai Yong's eyes lit up instantly, but it was Cai Yan who had already carefully examined Cao Xin and heard the other party say this, with a curious expression on her face.

  "What a wonderful phrase, 'after three days, one should look at each other with new eyes', the words of Governor Sima are indeed elegant and make this humble woman blush..." A soft and gentle voice suddenly reached Cao Xin's ears, Cai Yan's willow eyebrows rose, and she smiled lightly.

  When he heard this, Cao Xin was stunned at first, and then he heard the sound coming from behind Cai Yong, a slender and elegant woman with a gentle temperament was curiously looking at him, her expression, appearance and temperament were as if she had walked out of a painting, extremely beautiful and extraordinary.

  It's enough to make all the males around me instantly disheartened...

  Cao Xin was suddenly startled, looking at the gentle woman smiling lightly at him, a warm current slowly gathering in his nostrils...

  At this moment, Cai Ting looked at Cao Xin with ill intentions, seeing that the other party was also secretly laughing like Cao Hong just now...

  However, contrary to Cai Ting's expectations, Cao Xin merely glanced at Cai Yan for three seconds before calmly turning his head away with a peaceful expression.

  And the three seconds that lingered on Cai Yan's body, the latter simply said faintly: "This is probably Mr. Boji's thousand gold, the famous Cai Zhaoji, Cai Dajia in Luoyang... Cao Xin thanks Cai Dajia for his praise..."

  Seeing Cao Xin's calm demeanor, not only Cai Yong but also Cai Ting were taken aback. Cai Yan was even more surprised to see that a man had stayed by his side for such a short time, and he felt a hint of inexplicable loss in his heart, which made him even more curious about the former.

  At this moment, behind Cao Xin, Zhou Ju and others were staring at Cao Xin with ill intentions...

  It turns out Cao Xin did it on purpose...

  Hold it in! Hold it in! Don't look at her chest! Don't look at her chest!!!

  My nose is going to bleed!!!!!!

  Struggling to control the warm current slowly emerging from his nose, Cao Xin tried not to lose his composure. Fortunately, he had cultivated a calm and composed mindset over the past few days, so even though his nose was sour, at least he didn't show any expression.

  "Cough, cough..." He lightly coughed twice, and finally managed to stop the nosebleed. Cao Xin regained some composure, but didn't dare look at Cai Yan again. Instead, he turned to Cao Hong beside him and said: "Uncle, these days I'm afraid that Lü Bu will come to attack. Uncle...ah, it's better to make preparations early."

  At this time, it is unclear what changes are taking place in Cao Xin's heart. When Cao Hong heard these words, his face suddenly became serious.

  At this time, Yang Feng said: "I'm not afraid of this. Although you just defeated Zhang Liao's 5,000 cavalry, it is said that Gao Shun's ambush camp is quite formidable and has a reputation for being invincible wherever they go. I'm only worried that Gao Shun's ambush camp will attack Fan Yang before Lü Bu does..."

  At this moment, Cao Hong's worries are not unreasonable, and Cai Yan and her father also nodded in agreement on the side...

  At this moment, Cao Xin and his group were all looking at each other with strange expressions.

  Cao Xin was taken aback for a moment, but at this moment he suddenly waved his hand behind him and shouted loudly:

  "Bring Gao Shun up!!"
