Chapter 20: Cao Cao's Face Is Still Important

  "Zhang Rui, you little thief, how dare you insult me? Today I'll settle the score with you. From what you said earlier, you're also a student of Yingchuan Academy. Do you dare to duel with me?" Wei Zhong was furious, being belittled in front of his beloved girl. It's unbearable that someone would say he has a narrow mind. As the number one master of the Wei family (even servants wouldn't dare fight back), and at such a young age, having learned from Cai Yong, who dares to speak of him like this? This kid is truly asking for death.

  Zhang Rui was not interested in this descendant at all. Wei Qing, the Marquis of Changping, was a military general by origin. Looking at this young man's slender and refined appearance, his light and floating footsteps, he didn't have the slightest air of a martial artist. Moreover, with that sickly and frail appearance, it was obvious that he had indulged in wine and women to the point of exhaustion.

  Isn't this kid awakening some other divine power? But with a beauty in front of him, he can't show weakness either.

  "All right, let's just have a friendly exchange then. But I wonder what kind of duel method Brother Wei has in mind?"

  "If you lose, leave quickly and never bother my junior sister again." Wei Zhongdao spoke as if he had already won, completely ignoring the look on Cai Wenji's face behind him.

  "Second Brother, your words are wrong. Miss Wenji is a person with her own thoughts and feelings, how can she be used as a bet? This matter must go through Miss Wenji's consent." Hmph, you little brat, dare to fight me? I'll play you to death!

  "Sister." Wei Zhongdao looked at Cai Wenji's face, which was covered in frost, and it was clear that she was extremely dissatisfied with him using himself as a bet. It seemed that all his efforts to impress her recently had been for nothing, all because of that damned Zhang Rui. In Wei Zhongdao's eyes, Zhang Rui was already a dead man, and looking at him made the flames in his eyes burn fiercely, his chest heaving with rage.

  "The Art of War: Hundred Refinements" More than a dozen small swords floated in front of Wei Zhongdao, following his gestures like Zhang Rui's swift and precise strikes. This move was all too familiar to Zhang Rui, who had practiced it with Xi Zhi until he couldn't be more familiar with it. With a flick of his yin-yang step, only a residual shadow remained on the spot.

  At the time of speaking, it was too late, and in an instant, the small sword had stabbed into the face of the residual shadow. Wei Zhongdao was overjoyed, this kid was indeed a fool, and with just one move, he would be left to die without a place to bury his body. Turning his head to look at Cai Wenji, his master's sister was still so beautiful, and his own master's sister could only belong to him alone.

  "Be careful, senior brother." Cai Wenji didn't like Wei Zhongdao, but he was after all her father's disciple. She didn't want anything to happen to him when they were together, lest others gossip. The Wei family was also quite influential, and she feared bringing unnecessary trouble.

  Zhang Rui suddenly appeared in front of Wei Zhongdao. The more than ten small swords that pierced through the back row were only piercing shadows, and Wei Zhongdao was startled by the speed. Taking advantage of Wei Zhongdao's surprise, Zhang Rui flashed again and arrived behind Wei Zhongdao.

  "Haha, Zhang Rui's secret technique: Thousand Year Kill." Zhang Rui was now more skilled than ever, from the first time he used it against Guo Tu to now, it only took him one second to complete this secret technique. Gu Jia that kid really liked this move, as for Xi Zhicai that wooden lump, even if you killed him, he wouldn't use this move.

  Suddenly poked towards Wei Zhongdao, the unprepared Wei Zhongdao was poked right on, and his hands covered his buttocks in pain, jumping up several times. This guy didn't care about his image anymore, and he squatted on the ground crying in pain.

  Cai Wenji couldn't help but want to laugh at this scoundrel. Even if Wei Shixiong did something wrong, he shouldn't have been punished so severely, especially not in that place.

  Wei Zhongdao burst into tears, and Zhang Rui suddenly looked embarrassed. What the hell is this? At first, he pretended to be tough, but now he's crying after just a little play. Looking at him being so incompetent, I've already gone easy on him. This guy is far inferior to Guo Tu.

  "Make way, make way! The Golden Tiger Guard is here. Who dares to assemble and cause trouble?" A large contingent of guards pushed through the crowd, a general-like figure on horseback asked.

  "Guard, General Wei, quickly take this person to the prison! My sister and I were buying a zither here when we ran into this thieving scoundrel. He stole my money pouch and won't admit it, even daring to strike me and insult the Wei family. General Wei, quickly apprehend this person!"

  Weizhongdao, who was still crying on the ground, suddenly came to his senses and cried out to General Wei, pouring out his grievances in a way that was both heartbreaking and infuriating. Normally, when the Golden Armor Guards were around, no one dared to linger.

  "Big brother, why are you talking nonsense and reversing right and wrong? Besides, that young master didn't do anything to you. Why don't we just let it go and head back?" Cai Wenji said with a good impression of Zhang Rui, trying to persuade him.

  "Bring people, bring them to me and take them away." said Wei Feng.

  It's clear that Wei Feng is definitely a member of the Wei family and wouldn't favor outsiders.

  "General Wei, you don't care about right or wrong and just want to take people away. Is this still a country with laws?" Zhang Rui asked fearlessly.

  "You embezzled the money of Wei Zhongdao, and then you slandered the Wei family. You beat up Wei Zhongdao himself. The evidence is solid, what's wrong with arresting you?" said Wei Fengdao.

  "You indiscriminately order people's arrest without regard for right or wrong, and yet you still dare to speak of the law."

  "In this Luoyang city, I am the law, quickly catch him and suppress him." said Wei Feng.

  "Who is so arrogant, come and let Cao Cao see what the law of the king is." Only to see three riders arriving with the wind, jumping off their horses. The leader was about thirty years old, slightly dark-skinned, not too tall, probably around 1.75 meters, extremely robust, with a precious sword hanging from his waist, looking very majestic. The two men following behind were none other than Xun Yu and Xun You.

  So this is Cao Cao. Indeed, just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he has a dark face, isn't very tall, but has a unique charm and extraordinary abilities.

  Cao Cao was famous for his bravery from a young age, but he didn't cultivate good behavior or study diligently. However, he had exceptional courage. When he was young, he once sneaked into Zhang Rang's house and was discovered by Zhang Rang. He escaped by jumping over the wall with a large halberd in hand.

  When Cao Cao served as the North District Commandant, he once used a five-colored big stick to beat to death Eunuch Jian Shuo's uncle, Jian Tu. This incident shocked the capital city.

  "Ah, I was wondering who had such a big mouth," Cao Cao said with a sarcastic tone. "It turned out to be you, General Wei! When I was in charge of the North District Commandant, I didn't see you having such a big mouth!"

  Cao Cao spoke slowly and calmly, his tone was also very even, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Wei Feng was so frightened that he trembled with fear, and suddenly knelt down on the ground, "Lord Cao, today is a mistake of this humble one, after drinking some wine, I spoke recklessly, I hope Lord Cao will consider that the Wei family of He Dong is also doing things for Governor Han, and spare this humble one this time."

  "For the sake of Mr. He, take your people and leave. Remember, nothing happened tonight, understood?"

  Na Wei nodded repeatedly and led his subordinates away with a gloomy face.

  "Ah, Big Brother Dong, it's still your face that's big, two sentences and Wei Feng has left. This matter is also because of Wenji, if someone gets involved in this, Wenji will also feel distressed." Cai Wenji walked forward and said to Cao Cao.

  What's going on? Cai Wenji is actually so familiar with Cao Cao, according to Cao Cao's temperament, my sister Wenji, the two men in front of her are as pale as death, but I won't give up, the two pale-faced men thought at the same time.
