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

What about Su Chen and Mi Zhen's marriage?

Cao Cao was taken aback at first, but then he remembered.

Because of the urgency of the situation, I've completely forgotten why I called Mi Zhu here!

Judging from Mi Zhu's current demeanor, he has clearly begun to take this matter seriously!

At this moment, Mi Zhu was constantly observing Su Chen beside him.

He is also quite handsome.

He has a handsome face and a dignified bearing. Although he is still young, he is quite talented.

Mi Zhu had previously thought this was just a joke by Cao Cao.

Su Chen was just an excuse.

But unexpectedly, Su Chen actually gained Cao Cao's appreciation!

He is now entrusted with such an important task!

Even the responsibility of selling salt and sugar was handed over to Su Chen!

"Cough cough..."

Cao Cao was clearly having second thoughts.

He wasn't worried about taking a concubine.

But he worried that Qinghe and the Ding family might become estranged from him because of this incident.

Upon seeing this, Su Chen immediately understood Cao Cao's meaning.

He was completely overwhelmed.

Good grief, Boss Cao, you weren't prepared at all, what kind of random arrangements are you making?

Now that's bad, how are we going to handle this?

Since we're using the emperor's name, we can't just say it's a joke, can we?

If this gets out, what will others think?

Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but look at the others not far away.

Xun Yu and Xun You pretended not to hear, and gathered in front of the sack of salt and sugar, rubbing their chins and looking thoughtful.

As for Cheng Yu, he had long since disappeared.

Guo Jia went even further; upon hearing this, he simply slipped away right in front of everyone!

You, Guo Fengxiao, were calling each other brothers yesterday, but today you're refusing to help someone in distress?

Mi Zhu noticed that both Cao Cao and Su Chen seemed hesitant to speak.

He couldn't help but look puzzled.

Isn't this a marriage bestowed by the emperor?

If that's the case, then why do the two of them look like this?

"Ahem, here's what happened."

"Actually, this was a plan devised by the Emperor."

"He was worried that you, Mr. Mi, might be detained in Xuzhou and unable to get out."

"Therefore, this reason was specifically assigned to leave Lü Bu and Liu Bei speechless."

Su Chen coughed lightly and began to explain.

"..."

Mi Zhu's expression clearly changed.

So, it turns out this was all the Emperor's doing?!

Su Chen was really going all out.

Anyway, Liu Xie was just a useless emperor, so what if we offended him?

There's a cause for every wrong, and a debtor for every debt. You can't find him anyway; if you want to find someone, look for Boss Cao.

"It's alright."

"Young master, why don't you meet my younger sister?"

"My younger sister may not be considered a beauty that could topple kingdoms, but she is still quite attractive."

"Most importantly, my younger sister is gentle and virtuous."

Mi Zhu's expression changed instantly again, and he said with a smile:

"Since the Emperor has spoken in this way, then the two of you are destined to be together."

"Once Cao Cao enters Xuzhou, you will have a proper meeting."

"how?"

Su Chen was immediately stumped.

Well, he's completely unyielding.

He couldn't help but glance at Boss Cao with a wistful look.

Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao, why are you praising yourself so wildly for no reason?

Who was Mi Zhu?

He's a businessman!

He naturally has a keen sense for such advantageous opportunities!

Historical records state that it was because he saw Liu Bei's potential that he married Mi Zhen to Liu Bei!

Although intercepting Liu Bei's offer wasn't bad.

But Su Chen still thinks like a modern person.

He really didn't have much of a desire to take a concubine.

"Ahem, that's how it is."

"Zizhong, that's why I'm telling you all this."

"It's because Jingming is already engaged to my daughter Qinghe."

"If the two of them meet..."

Seeing that Su Chen was not going to explain, Cao Cao could only wave his hand and speak.

There's no need to finish your sentence.

Mi Zhu should also know the meaning.

If they were to get married in the end, they couldn't possibly let Cao Cao's daughter be a concubine, could they?

Mi Zhu was clearly taken aback, but then waved his hand and said:

"What are you saying, Lord Cao?"

"Young Master Su is truly a man of exceptional talent, to the point that he has won the favor of Lord Cao!"

"In that case, you two should definitely meet!"

"In the future, we can also help Miss Qinghe and Young Master Su solve their problems!"

He kept calling him "Young Master Su," which completely baffled Su Chen.

When he first arrived, he addressed him as Mr. Su.

Then he kept mentioning Jingming.

Now, how come he's been called Young Master Su?

But thinking about it, it seems that Mi Zhu really didn't lose out.

When he married Liu Bei, Mi Zhen was apparently a concubine.

"If that's the case, then that's for the best."

"We will arrange for the two of them to meet in the future."

Seeing that Mi Zhu didn't mind, Cao Cao naturally wouldn't mind either, and waved his hand dismissively.

This series of actions left Chen Deng, who was standing to the side, completely dumbfounded.

With just a few words, they've already started arranging a marriage?

You, Mi Zhu, really know how to climb up the pole!

Now it is known that Su Chen and Qing He are already engaged.

What does this tell us?

This means that Su Chen will be a member of the Cao family in the future!

How could Chen Yuanlong be content to lag behind others in this matter?

Thinking of this, Chen Deng smiled calmly and said:

"Young Master Su is truly a genius beyond compare!"

"Even though I, Chen Yuanlong, have seen many heroes throughout the land, there is truly none who can compare to Young Master Su!"

My younger sister is exactly sixteen years old.

"At the age when marriage is possible."

"While she may not be considered a beauty of unparalleled grace, she is exceptionally intelligent and proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

"After Cao Cao enters Xuzhou, would you, sir, perhaps meet my younger sister?"

Chen Deng's sister?

I've never heard of that!

Su Chen was completely stunned.

What's going on with all of these?

"Ahem, gentlemen, perhaps we should set this matter aside for now."

"The most important thing right now is the sale of salt, sugar, and alcohol."

Su Chen coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject.

Let's stop talking.

Let's talk again. Not to mention my younger sister, I need to arrange for all the youngest daughters of my aunts and uncles to come over.

Upon hearing this, Mi Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly, considered for a moment, and then spoke:

"Speaking of which..."

"Young Master Su, there is something I don't understand."

"Although the Sikong (司空) now has methods for making salt and sugar."

Why sell it to the public?

"These two items are rare precisely because they are helpful in military campaigns!"

"If we sell it to someone else, wouldn't that be..."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen chuckled and waved his hand, saying:

"It's just some salt and sugar."

"If they want it, they need to spend money."

"As for money, our first priority is to take good care of the emperor."

"Secondly, it can subsidize military expenses."

"Why worry about this?"

Su Chen didn't really care about salt and sugar.

In these chaotic times, the most scarce resource is money.

With money, one can afford to support a larger army.

Moreover, only with money can one afford to upgrade equipment.

Money can be used for everything, and this was especially true in ancient times.

Both Boss Cao and Su Chen are currently short of money.

Adding this piece won't make much of a difference even if we send salt and sugar instead.

"In that case, I am relieved."

Mi Zhu's words clearly indicated that he had already made his decision.

He has already formed a united front with Chen Deng!

In Xuzhou, awaiting the arrival of Cao Cao's army!
