In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

"Do it for me?"

"Does that mean I should go in your place?"

"Okay."

"You sit here, I'll go and walk around the garden for you, and then I'll come back and tell you what happened."

Zhao Yu answered in a very serious manner.

"Pfft."

The maid behind Cao Jie couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Realizing something was wrong, she quickly covered her mouth and lowered her head.

Cao Jie's face turned even redder, filled with shame and indignation.

"Zhao Yu, are you pretending to be stupid?"

"I'm asking you to—carry me on your back!"

The second young lady asked the commander to carry her.

In the late Han Dynasty, when etiquette was strictly enforced, this was absolutely against propriety.

This is a rule that men and women should not touch each other.

Cao Jie held his head high.

Looking at Zhao Yu.

She did it on purpose.

She knew that Zhao Yu, this "blockhead," was the most particular about rules.

As long as he dares.

That is overstepping the bounds.

She then went to her father to complain about him.

If he doesn't dare to recite it, then he is "disobeying orders and showing disrespect".

dilemma.

This was the "brilliant plan" she came up with after thinking about it all night and losing several strands of hair.

[System determination: Request for physical contact.]

[Target: Cao Jie (female)]

[Risk Assessment: Extremely high, but not fatal.]

[Consequences: Suspected of sexual harassment/Will be ridiculed and mocked by Cao Cao.]

[Command: Refuse (and inflict a critical hit).]

Zhao Yu took a step back.

A completely safe social distance has been maintained.

His expression was serious.

"no."

"Why not?"

Cao Jie pressed on relentlessly.

"I am the master, and you are the commander of my Prime Minister's residence."

"I command you to carry me!"

Zhao Yu looked at her, wondering if this young lady, who usually lived a life of luxury, had become dull and rusty from not using her brain for too long.

The same tricks we used yesterday, we're using again today.

"Second Miss".

"First."

"I am the Marquis of Guannei."

"His rank was equivalent to two thousand bushels of grain. Although his fief was not large, it was still a noble title."

"I am not your slave."

"second."

"The Prime Minister sent me here to be in charge of security."

"I'm not in charge of transportation."

"You're not cargo, and I'm not a donkey. Besides, you're quite heavy. I'm afraid you'll strain your back. That would be a work injury, and the Prime Minister's office won't reimburse you."

Where has Cao Jie ever been said that to her?

"I am the daughter of the Prime Minister, and my father is Cao Cao. How dare you disobey me?"

"In this capital, who dares to disrespect me?"

Zhao Yu sighed.

He pulled out a book titled "The Official System of the Han Dynasty" from his pocket.

(I don't know where it came from.)

"Second Miss".

"It's useless to rely on your father's connections."

"In the military, only rank matters."

"In the imperial court, only official rank matters."

Zhao Yu pointed at Cao Jie,

"Do you hold an official position? Do you have an official seal?"

Do you have a letter of appointment issued by the imperial court?

"Even a minor official's badge, do you have one?"

There's no way to respond to that.

"How could a woman like me have an official position?"

"That was a commoner of high status."

Zhao Yu shrugged and spread his hands, his expression incredibly irritating.

"An ordinary citizen."

"To command a marquis?"

"This is called insubordination, and according to the law, it should be punished with twenty strokes of the military rod."

Zhao Yu looked Cao Jie up and down, observing his small frame.

Shake his head.

"For the sake of your father, Prime Minister Cao, we'll let it go this time."

"I suggest that the second young lady go back and read more books."

"If you really want to order me around, it's very simple."

"Take the civil service exam, or buy your way into an official position. Once you have the official seal of the court, then come and talk to me about the word 'order'."

Done.

Zhao Yu looked at the maid behind Cao Jie.

"The second young lady is tired."

"Go and call the stretcher team."

"Carry them back according to the standards for the wounded."

Cao Jie stood alone, bewildered in the wind.

Taking the civil service exam?

Donate an official position?

What on earth is all this?!

How can there be such a stubborn bastard in the world who is impervious to reason and logic, and whose mouth is full of twisted logic!

"Zhao Yu!"

Cao Jie shouted at Zhao Yu's retreating figure.

"You just wait!"

"I'll make you pay!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand without turning his head.

"I'm always ready, just don't try to scam me."

……

They returned to Qingqiu Courtyard.

Cao Jie sat on the couch, huffing and puffing.

"I'm so angry!"

"I'm so angry!"

Xiao Cui, the personal maid, brought over some tea.

Advice:

"Miss……"

"That General Zhao does seem a bit different."

"The guards used to tremble when they saw you."

"He seems genuinely unafraid of you."

Cao Jie bit her lip.

Recalling Zhao Yu's "theory of taking the civil service exam" just now.

Inside the Prime Minister's residence.

Everyone was trying to curry favor with her.

Because she was Cao Cao's daughter.

Only Zhao Yu.

Treat her like an ordinary person.

Even... as a nuisance.

"snort."

Cao Jie was still unconvinced.

"You're not afraid of me, are you? You want to follow the rules, right? You want to abide by the law, right?"

"OK."

"I'll just play along with you."

"If the hard approach doesn't work, then let's try the soft approach."

"I refuse to believe that there are cats in this world that don't steal fish, or dogs that don't drink soup!"

"Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Even if Zhao Yu is made of stone, I'll still burn a hole in him!"

Cao Jie turned his head and gave the order:

"Xiao Cui! Go to the kitchen!"

"I'm going to cook myself!"

"stew!"

Xiao Cui was shocked.

"Miss?"

"Are you going to cook for him?"

"Isn't that giving him too much credit?"

"Isn't that giving him too much credit? Besides... last time you went into the kitchen, you almost burned the house down!"

Ignoring Xiao Cui's reminder, Cao Jie smiled and pulled out a packet of medicine powder wrapped in oil paper from the deepest part of the dressing table drawer.

Croton powder.

A powerful laxative.

"To elevate?"

"I'm sending him on his way!"

"I'm going to make him so sick he won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow!"

"Let's see how he talks to me about the 'Laws of the Han Dynasty' now, and how he acts like a 'Marquis Within the Passes'!"

……

And so.

Prime Minister's House.

back kitchen.

Smoke and fire.

Several portly chefs huddled in a corner.

I dare not speak.

In front of the stove.

Cao Jie was wearing an apron.

His face was covered in flour and cigarette ash.

He was holding a large spoon.

The chicken soup in the earthenware pot is being stirred.

"Add more firewood! The fire isn't big enough!"

Cao Jie shouted.

"Miss...if you add any more firewood, the pot will explode..."

The head chef offered a timid reminder.

"Shut up! I know what I'm doing!"

Cao Jie stuffed the entire log directly into the stove.

"Glug glug".

The soup has a yellowish tint.

It smells... alright.

After all, it's the essence extracted from five old hens.

Cao Jie wiped his sweat.

Look back.

I glanced at the paper package on the table.

The pharmacy owner said this stuff helps with bowel movements.

One coin can make a cow have diarrhea.

That's a whole pound. A full pound.

"snort."

Cao Jie sneered.

"Zhao Yu".

"I'll teach you to follow the rules."

"I'll let you take the civil service exam."

"I'm going to make sure you can't get out of the outhouse today!"

She grabbed the paper package.

I originally only intended to release a small amount.

But then I think of Zhao Yu's poker face.

My hand trembled.

Half a pound of croton powder was sprinkled in.

Stir.

melt.

Vanished without a trace.

"Perfect."

Cao Jie clapped his hands.

A large bowl was filled.

Place it on a tray.

"Xiao Cui!"

"Walk!"

"To Commander Zhao... to offer him some warmth."
