Liu Xuande would never be a succubus of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

The latter was biting her lips, her beautiful eyes were filled with mist, her hands were clenched into fists, and her whole body was shaking with anger.

I always feel like I'll fall to my knees and burst into tears in the next second.

"Whoo~"

Chen Xu had finished his tea by this time. While no one was paying attention, he secretly took the teacup that originally belonged to Liu Bei. While sipping the tea, he glanced at Gongsun Zan.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, forming a classic fox smile.

At the same time, she was counting down in her heart: five, four, three, two... Just when she counted to one, Gongsun Zan stepped over.

The latter stared at Chen Xu, almost spitting out words from between his teeth: "Why, why would you... hand Xuande over to Cao Cao!?"

“This is not a strategy of surrendering one’s hands, but a strategy of actual gain.”

Even though Gongsun Zan's tone was very wrong, Chen Xu still maintained his usual calm demeanor.

"Really? Haha, how can you say that you really got it... Don't lie with your eyes open..."

"Let me explain in detail."

Chen Xu drank his tea again, and when Gongsun Zan was about to hit him, he finally opened his mouth to explain:

"Miss Gongsun, although it may be a bit presumptuous to say this, I would like to ask you, what advantages do you have over that thief Cao?"

"You..."

"Not only is his stature and bearing inferior, but even his background and family background are inferior. It can be said that he is completely inferior... Of course, the same is true for Xu."

When Chen Xu said this, he suddenly remembered that his outside identity was "Liu Xu, the cousin of Liu Xuande", so he made up for it:

"Alas, I have watched Xuande grow up, so naturally I hope he can be happy. However, Cao Mengde is an extremely fierce man. If Xuande really marries him, I am afraid he will be unhappy after the marriage."

"So Xu still hopes that Miss Gongsun will marry Xuande. After all, Xu knows at first sight that you are an easy target... ahem, a virtuous and virtuous wife."

To be honest, Gongsun Zan was not a stupid child. If she was really stupid, she would not have had the opportunity to go out and become Lu Zhi's disciple.

Therefore, when she first heard Chen Xu speak, her face was filled with the expression "If I believe even a single punctuation mark of yours, I wouldn't be surnamed Gongsun".

But when she heard the words 'a virtuous and virtuous wife', her attitude immediately changed.

In fact, if your surname is not Gongsun, then you don't have to have it. Anyway, clan members are very difficult to serve. If they help you, they will definitely ask for something in return in the future. It would be a good idea to just hide your identity and marry your junior brother.

Although she had never heard Xuande mention this "cousin", whether it was true or false, just having this confirmation would be enough.

So happy.

When Chen Xu on the opposite side saw her attitude, his eyebrows slightly curved and he showed a smirk.

Xu was indeed no match for Cao Cao, but to deal with a silly kid like you...isn't it easy to capture and control him at will?

The two girls smiled at each other, and then Gongsun Zan clasped his fists and said seriously, "Then please teach me, sir..."

"Do you still want to call me sir now?"

"…elder sister!"

Gongsun Zan quickly changed his tone and said, "Then please teach me, sister."

Chen Xu nodded slightly, actually to hide his smile, and after a while he replied:

"Cao Mengde is indeed from a wealthy family. We cannot compete with her, and we haven't found any obvious flaws in her personality yet. But this is not a problem. After all, even if there are no flaws, we can always create one."

"We only need to pretend to fail in the struggle for Xuande again and again, so that Cao Mengde can be complacent. Then, it is time for us to take action."

Although they had only communicated for half a day yesterday, Chen Xu had already gained a preliminary understanding of Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao's background.

Of these two, the former is simplistic and not a concern; while the latter, although powerful, was born into the prestigious Cao family after all, and will surely have great ambitions in the future.

And when she thought she had Xuande firmly in her grasp, that was when she was at her weakest.

Just imagine that.

One day, when General Cao returns home victorious after a hard-fought battle against foreign tribes, he suddenly finds that Xuande is holding several babies... hehehe.

Chen Xu edited his imagination and told Gongsun Zan a brief version in detail, and the latter's eyes lit up.

"Great, great, this is a great idea!"

The more Gongsun Zan listened, the more reliable it seemed to him. After all, when legitimate competition methods were no longer effective, resorting to unorthodox methods could be very effective.

Anyway, what they want is Xuande himself, not a fake city and army. Even if they can't eat meat, they can at least secretly drink soup, right?

"...What dangerous things are you talking about?"

At this moment, a slightly childish boy's voice came from outside the door.

Chen Xu and Gongsun Zan quickly turned their heads and saw Cao Bin with a blushing face and a figure walking slowly behind him.

The figure was wearing a green gentleman's robe with a white lining and a green outer robe. The fabric was the priceless Shu brocade. A whole half-moon jade disk was worn around his waist, showing his nobleness.

Her long hair was tied up high with a silver hairpin and she wore black silk shoes. Overall, she looked full, gentle and elegant.

That already handsome and unparalleled face now has less childishness and more 'charm'. It's probably because he has gone from being a killer against women to being Mr. Horn.

Chen Xu stared at him for a long moment, his eyes widening a few degrees before he sighed, "The true princes and nobles I see every day can't compare to the natural nobility that Xuande exudes."

Gongsun Zan next to him did not have such a high level of education yet, and he just stared at Liu Bei like a hungry wolf seeing the most delicious meat in the world.

It seemed as if it would pounce on him in the next second.

"broken."

Seeing this guy's attitude, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The previous advice about temporarily avoiding the attack was probably immediately ignored by this little fool. After all... any female creature in the world could not resist such a mysterious virtue.

I really want someone to own it.

"Senior Sister, please close your mouth, your saliva is about to flow out..."

As soon as Liu Bei entered the house, he saw the two hungry little wolves and was so frightened that he took half a step back. As a result, this step made him retreat into the heavy chest.

A faint fragrance wafts through the air.

"Hey, Xuande, why do you keep moving closer to me? Are you thirsty?"

Cao Cao's teasing voice sounded, and when she looked down at Liu Bei at this moment, her whole body went numb and she stood there in a daze.

Chapter 42: Xuande, Do You Believe in Gravity?

Although I have already experienced Liu Bei's charm, and even saw the scene of "beauty emerging from the bath" with my own eyes yesterday.

But Cao Cao was still distracted at this moment.

Even when compared with famous handsome men in ancient literature such as Song Yu, Zidu and Xu Gong of the North City, he is not inferior at all.

She even surpasses many others. Her charm alone can be compared to the ancient "Bao Si" and "Da Ji".

However, I have never seen any article that records the beauty of a man that can make people fall in love with him at first sight.

Now I see it.

“So handsome…”

Cao Cao couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, his slender eyes rippling with water and full of strange brilliance.

"what?"

Liu Bei didn't hear clearly, so he tilted his ear and moved closer again.

"Ah."

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao suddenly put his hand on the door frame, put his other hand on Liu Bei's shoulder, lowered his head and moved closer.

Their eyes met, and their breath smelled like orchid.

"Xuan De, you smell so good."

"Thank you for the compliment, Meng De. Um... don't we still have business to attend to?"

Liu Bei's eyes flickered, and he knew clearly that the man in front of him had entered a state of 'hot blood', so he couldn't help but remind him.

He knew that Cao Cao was in a hurry, extremely anxious, but his life was in danger at the moment, let alone matters between men and women.

Laugh to death.

You, Cao thief, coveted my second brother in another world, and now you are coveting my second brother in this world too.

To some extent, this can also be regarded as a historical contraction?

"Official business...yes, there's also official business."

Cao Cao nodded, then rested his chin on Liu Bei's shoulder and gently touched his earlobe with his lips and tongue.

"…We do have to handle official business during the day, but at night, we also have to handle our own business… You are not allowed to escape."

"But it's not yet time for me to be crowned."

"Wouldn't that be better?"

"?"

Liu Bei retreated strategically, thinking this guy is playing such a big game...

In this era, according to the correct etiquette, men can get married when they are crowned, but in fact most of them have sex as early as after the age of 14. Therefore, they can not only get married, but also have the crowned early.

However, if Cao Cao, a descendant of a famous family, was caught driving a small car, it would damage his reputation.

The formal process is to wait for the consent of the elders of both parties, then the man and woman will give each other tokens of love, then find a fortune teller to calculate an auspicious date, arrange a banquet with singing and dancing, and invite all the wealthy families with whom they have contacts in advance... After all this, it basically means that they fall in love this year, but they have to wait one or two years before they can get married.

But Cao Cao was obviously an impatient person.

Although she had also learned secular etiquette, she had never been very interested in it, nor did she think of herself as a saint who could remain calm in the face of temptation.

Hence the performance.

Fortunately, Cao Bin beside him spoke up in time: "Sister, you're really going to be late. You don't want Lord Sima to disappoint you, do you?"

"Humph…"

Cao Cao stopped what he was doing when he heard this, and his eyes gradually returned to normal. Seeing Liu Bei's puzzled expression, he smiled and explained:

"I saw that Xuande was too serious, so I was just joking... This Sima is Sima Fang, the current Luoyang magistrate. He can be considered as a recommender for Cao's career."

Sima Fang... seems to be Sima Yi's father...

It's a pity that 'Miss Zhongda, the first cross-dresser' hadn't been born yet, otherwise I would have gone up to pluck a few of his hairs.

If this gentleman doesn't serve him well in the future, he can humiliate him like this: "When you were a child, your grandfather held you in his arms."

happy.

"Since this is the grace of a mentor, Meng De should definitely go there quickly."

"I know, I know."

The royal sister's voice was full of lingering feelings. "The carriage is waiting outside the door, ready to depart at any time."

"Okay, then... Senior Sister and Xu, I'll take my leave first."

Liu Bei first turned around and bowed to the two women in the room, then followed Cao Cao out of Cao's mansion and got on the carriage together again.

-

Cao Cao took his seat first. Turning back, he saw Liu Bei sitting far away from him and frowned: "Does Xuande have any objections to me?"

"...Meng De has a handsome appearance and a kind and approachable personality. Although he comes from a noble family, he is not spoiled. I really admire him, so how could I have any objections?"

"Then why is Xuande sitting so far away?"

"Well..."

Don't you have any idea in your mind?

Liu Bei shook his head slightly, cupped his hands, and said, "This trip is about official business. As the book says, 'An official should be dignified, elegant, and upright.' Therefore, I have to make a clear distinction to conserve my energy and strength."

"What nonsense are you mumbling about?"

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't hear a single word he said. He even patted the seat beside him in a domineering manner and said, "Hurry up and sit here, or I'll throw you down."

"Meng De would never be so rude."

"Really? Then you have to tell Lu Zigan what's under your bed..."

"In fact, there are many benefits for men and women to be close to each other."
