Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao is stunned when he reveals his time-traveling identity.

"Father, I can't figure it out."

"However, the reason you took down the notice is probably because five days have passed and no one has shown any interest in taking it up."

"I'm afraid you'll lose face, Father..."

Cao Ang said helplessly.

If he could possibly guess Su Chen's thoughts, then something was definitely wrong.

Su Chen was like a bottomless pool of water.

Who knows what's inside?

"..."

Cao Cao fell silent.

Seeing this, Cao Ang spoke up:

"Father, shall I go and ask?"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said:

"No, you might not get any answers even if you ask."

"So...you don't mean you're planning to go yourself, do you?"

Cao Ang frowned and said.

Cao Cao shook his head.

Now that Su Chen has taken down the notice, Cao Cao will definitely want to avoid suspicion.

Try to see Su Chen as little as possible during this period.

"Alright, go find Fengxiao."

"Send Fengxiao to go and ask him."

Suddenly, Cao Cao spoke up.

"Fengxiao? Military Advisor Guo?"

Why?

Cao Ang was completely dumbfounded.

Cao Cao began by saying:

"When Jingming first joined my camp, Fengxiao chatted happily with him while they were making salt."

"It would be most appropriate to send Fengxiao now."

"Moreover, Fengxiao also comes from a poor family, so letting him go is the best choice."

Although Cao Ang only understood half of what he heard, he nodded and left in a hurry.

"Jingming, oh Jingming."

"We really owe it all to you!"

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly.

However, he was unaware of this.

He wasn't the only one who wanted to find Su Chen and see what he was up to.

Xun Yu and Xun You, uncle and nephew, along with Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, all also...

Besides them, members of the Yang and Sima families also quietly moved closer to Su Chen's current position.

They all wanted to see just how capable Su Chen really was.

They were able to complete this impossible challenge.

Twenty copper coins? You're kidding me.

……

at the same time.

As the core of this event that has garnered so much attention.

Su Chen was standing in the center of Xudu City, holding a notice in his hand.

"Sir, are you serious?"

"This challenge is way too difficult..."

At this moment, Xu Huang, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but sigh.

Ever since Su Chen moved out of the Sikong Mansion.

Cao Cao then appointed Xu Huang as Su Chen's personal bodyguard.

To paraphrase Cao Cao, Xu Huang was to Su Chen what Dian Wei was to him.

Su Chen was the first person to appreciate Xu Huang, and Xu Huang was extremely honest and kind.

Having Xu Huang protect Su Chen's safety is the most appropriate option.

Xu Huang was unaware that the contents of the notice came from Su Chen.

He felt apprehensive just from seeing the words on the notice.

Xu Huang was a very frugal person in his daily life.

Even so, it's impossible for him to use only twenty copper coins a month.

Su Chen doesn't seem like a frugal person at all.

He took down the notice. What if he couldn't finish it?

Could it be that you have some brilliant plan, sir?

"I have a clever plan."

Su Chen only gave these six words, then took the notice and walked to the two guards standing nearby, saying:

"I'm here to collect my money."

"Minister Su?"

The guards were stunned by what they saw.

Their impression of Su Chen was extremely deep.

After all, this was the first person, besides those with the surnames Cao and Xiahou, to be allowed to live in the Sikong Mansion.

They dared not delay, and when Su Chen came to ask for money...

Without saying a word, he took out twenty copper coins that he had prepared in advance and handed them to Su Chen.

"Such a small matter, and five days have passed and no one has answered."

"Ugh."

Su Chen tossed the money in his hand, feeling rather helpless.

Many of the aristocratic people who were watching nearby turned pale when they heard this.

At this moment, Yang Xiu of the Yang family and Sima Yi of the Sima family had already quietly blended into the crowd.

"Who is this person? I've never seen him in Xuchang before?"

Sima Yi looked at Su Chen with a puzzled expression.

To have such courage at such a young age is truly remarkable!

Moreover, only members of the aristocracy or officials are eligible to accept this challenge.

But Sima Yi had never seen this young man before.

"Second Young Master, this is Su Chen, courtesy name Jingming, who is the personal clerk of the Minister of Works."

The servant beside him quickly replied.

Registrar?

Sima Yi was stunned.

He has been staying at the Sima family's residence and rarely coming out these past few days.

Anyway, he's not an official.

But unexpectedly, after Cao Cao returned to Xuchang, he brought with him such a man of great courage and determination.

"This person is truly courageous; after taking on such a challenge, he didn't show the slightest emotion."

"He is truly an extraordinary person."

Sima Yi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

A servant whispered:

"I heard that Sikong intends to take Su, the registrar, as his son-in-law and marry him to his eldest daughter, Qinghe."

"Upon returning to Xuchang, Chief Clerk Su stayed at the Minister of Works' residence for several days..."

Upon hearing this, Sima Yi immediately lost his composure:

"What?"

He looked at Su Chen with a stunned expression.

Goodness gracious, who is this person who has arrived in Xudu?

Having just joined Cao Cao's service, he was about to be recruited as a son-in-law and even live in the Sikong Mansion?

That requires an immense level of trust.

If it were anyone else, Sima Yi wouldn't find it strange.

But this is Cao Cao!

Cao Cao's unpredictable and erratic personality was unparalleled in the world!

Anyone who can earn such trust from him must be a person of great talent!

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Yang Xiu also arrived at the scene.

By sheer coincidence, she happened to witness Su Chen receiving the money.

"Is this person Su Chen?"

Yang Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of arrogance appearing between his brows.

Unlike Sima Yi, Yang Xiu was always concerned about the affairs of the world.

Especially what happened in Xudu.

Therefore, they know everything that happened after Su Chen arrived.

"I'd like to see just how capable he really is."

"This person comes from a poor family."

"This is an insult to the dignity of our aristocratic class."

As Yang Xiu spoke, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Clearly, he absolutely did not believe that Su Chen could do that.

Yang Xiu boasted that he was one of the most talented scholars from prominent families in Xuchang.

He has no way to solve this problem now. What good solutions could Su Chen, a mere poor man, possibly have?

Thus, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Su Chen returned to his residence with a leisurely air.

It was definitely not appropriate for the group to follow directly.

But she had already focused all her attention on Su Chen.

Anyway, this challenge has a month to run.

They all wanted to see how Su Chen could manage to do it with only twenty copper coins.

"Sir, they've all left."

"What are your plans next?"

Xu Huang glanced around to make sure everyone had left before speaking.

Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Walk."

"Go? Where to?"

Xu Huang was completely dumbfounded.

He really couldn't understand what Su Chen was trying to do.

Su Chen smiled calmly and said:

"Go to the Sikong Mansion."

Sikong Mansion...

Xu Huang was completely dumbfounded:

"Sir, it's getting late. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to go to the Sikong Mansion?"

Su Chen smiled calmly and said:

You'll see when you get there.

"Remember, try to avoid being seen by others."
