"By the way, did my daughter have any breakthrough after the previous battle?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.
The other party shook his head. Liu Zhaoqing thought for a moment and said, "Then it's probably not the right time."
"But I don't have time to help you explore these things now. Before long, you may be required to go to the battlefield or perform some special infiltration missions." Liu Zhaoqing said in advance.
Because the little girl's special abilities were so practical, Liu Zhaoqing had no reason not to bring her here.
Of course, she had no objection to doing such things.
After Liu Zhaoqing took off his light armor, the girl realized that she should step away, but before leaving the tent, she still curiously asked Liu Zhaoqing how he found her.
"As soon as I came in, I saw a folded towel and a basin of warm water on the table. This couldn't have been prepared by Zhou Cang and Liu Pi, right?" Liu Zhaoqing said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, the little girl suddenly lowered her head, seeming a little embarrassed. Then she asked Liu Zhaoqing to go to bed early and left.
She was still a little shy, but much better than at the beginning.
"She still lacks confidence. If she experiences more battles by my side and improves her confidence, it should have a significant impact on her personality change." Liu Zhaoqing said softly, touching his chin.
Then he shook his head, yawned, and began to wash up and get ready for bed.
We have been traveling for almost three days today, and we haven't stopped since we got here. We met Yuan Shao and went to find Gongsun Zan. It's time to take a break.
I originally wanted to chat with Xun Yu, but when I thought that Xun Yu was almost as tired as I was, I gave up.
After wiping his cheeks and body with warm water, Liu Zhaoqing took off his coat.
The weather in June was very hot. Chenliu was not in the northernmost part of China like Youzhou. It was no exaggeration to say that the tents at night were like a furnace.
Moreover, from time to time, the sounds of military training and horses neighing could be heard outside. After lying on the couch, it felt like sleeping in the middle of the street.
Fortunately, Liu Zhaoqing was tired enough that even with such a loud noise, after lying down for a while, the tiredness and sleepiness were able to repel these disturbances.
But at this moment, Liu Zhaoqing suddenly opened his eyes: "Who?!"
Liu Zhaoqing suddenly stood up and looked around, and found that there was nothing unusual.
But he clearly felt a chill just now.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Zhaoqing said, "Meng De?"
"Oh, that's boring. How come you can guess this?"
In the darkness, Cao Cao, dressed in a dark blue gown, walked slowly into the candlelight with a wooden lunch box in his hand.
She looked at Liu Zhaoqing with a smile: "Why? Don't you welcome me?"
"Of course not." Liu Zhaoqing stood up, and after being surprised, he asked in confusion: "It's just... when did you come?"
"I just got here not long ago." Cao Cao put the lunch box in his hand on the table. "I just met with Wen Ruo, and I happened to know that you didn't seem to have eaten. This is the meal my sister just cooked. She is a good cook and the dishes she cooks are always to my taste. Come and try it."
"I..." Liu Zhaoqing was a little confused, "That's not right. Didn't we just arrive? How come the meal is already cooked?"
"Haven't you ever seen people cooking with Tianci?" Cao Cao asked curiously.
Then he laughed and said, "It seems that Zhao Qing also has things he has never seen before."
After putting down the lunch box, Cao Cao looked around, then nodded and said, "Sister Benchu didn't lie to me. I really did a good job of settling you down."
"Has Meng De met Yuan Shao?"
"I went to see her when my soldiers set up camp," Cao Cao replied.
Then she stretched, and the men's long gown could not hide her graceful waist.
"I'm a little tired too, let's talk tomorrow."
"Uh……"
Cao Cao raised his head slightly, looked back at Liu Zhaoqing, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Do you still want me to stay here?"
"Ah?" He had never thought about it that way.
Isn't this pure slander?
"This couch is a bit... small, right?" Liu Zhaoqing said in a low voice.
"I think it's just right." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he asked again: "But Zhaoqing, are you really sure? Although this tent is warmer than the sky and the earth, but... there are no 'mosquitoes' around. If someone hears or sees it..."
"It feels like... nothing?"
"what?"
Liu Zhaoqing knew that Cao Cao was bold, but was this too bold?
But the next second, he saw the smile on the other person's face and realized that he was being "phished".
When he was about to argue, the other party had already left the tent. Liu Zhaoqing could only helplessly and angrily vent his anger on the food.
I have to say, the food cooked by Cao Cao’s sister tastes really good and is quite delicate, and you can even see flower petals decorating it.
There were also a few gold coins at the bottom of the lunch box. Liu Zhaoqing was puzzled but accepted them without hesitation.
This should be because Cao Cao was afraid that he didn't have any money.
Quite considerate.
Then Liu Zhaoqing couldn't be stingy. He just let the "fishing incident" go and he wouldn't blame her.
……
On the other side, Cao Cao walked back to the camp where he lived. As soon as he entered, he was noticed by a short-haired woman who was training soldiers early in the morning.
"Sister Meng De is back!" she said immediately with her eyes lighting up.
"Yes, I went to find Zhao Qing." After Cao Cao said this, he walked towards his tent.
Cao Ren also handed over the training matters at hand to his deputy general and immediately followed up.
When Cao Cao entered the tent, undressing and yawning, Cao Ren asked with trepidation but also some anticipation: "Sister Meng De, the food... is it tasty?"
"You should ask Zhao Qing about this."
"ask him?"
"Yes, I wasn't hungry, so I gave the food to him."
"Uh……"
"I won't say any more. I have to go to sleep. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be another big drama tomorrow." After saying this, Cao Cao went to bed and rested.
Only her cousin Cao Ren was left standing there, motionless as a mountain, petrified like the stone lions outside the mansion gate.

Silent all night.
Liu Zhaoqing started to feel sleepy almost immediately after finishing his meal, and then fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.
No matter how noisy the sounds of training outside and the sound of princes constantly moving into the garrison were, he could not hear them.
When he opened his eyes again, Liu Zhaoqing found that there was no sound outside, only the occasional footsteps.
This is really strange.
Just as Liu Zhaoqing stood up and sat on the edge of the couch, the curtain of the tent was opened a little and then immediately closed.
"Why did you go back again? If you have anything to say, just come in and tell me. I'm already awake."
It was still morning, and the person who came to find him at this time should be Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao or Xun Yu, and Xun Yu was the most likely one.
After all, after coming to Chenliu in person, she must have more new insights into this anti-Dong coalition.
But after Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, there was no movement behind the curtain.
"What? I'm not talking in my sleep, just come in." Liu Zhaoqing added.
Although Xun Yu was very dignified and proper, he was not as cautious as this one when entering a tent, or even "shy", standing outside the curtain, wanting to go in but not daring to.
And if Liu Zhaoqing remembered correctly, Xun Yu should have been gifted with enhanced hearing, and he should not have been unaware that he was already awake.
Unless... the person outside is not Xun Yu.
The curtain of the tent moved again, then was slowly opened, and an unexpected visitor walked into the tent.
She was wearing a blue military uniform, had short hair that only reached her chin, and eyebrows as sharp as swords, but her eyes, which should have been stern, now revealed a hint of obvious embarrassment.
Even when he was walking towards Liu Zhaoqing, one could see that his hands and feet were obviously stiff.
However, Liu Zhaoqing only felt that she was a little nervous at first. Although he didn't know where this nervousness came from, Liu Zhaoqing just needed to be more generous.
"Why did General Cao Ren think of coming to me?"
"Huh? You know me?" Cao Ren, who was hesitating about how to start, looked up with surprise when he heard this.
Liu Zhaoqing certainly knew this cousin of Cao Cao.
In his previous life, Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao could be said to be the most capable leaders of the Cao family besides Cao Cao. They were the undisputed top generals of Cao Wei and made great contributions to the establishment of the Wei Dynasty. Even their posthumous title was the word "loyalty".
From the Chuping period to the Jian'an period, he followed Cao Cao in countless battles of varying sizes, and his defensive ability was terrifying.
Although the world line has changed, based on experience, in the late Han Dynasty, Cao Ren, who was blessed by heaven, could only be stronger.
Of course, Liu Zhaoqing certainly couldn't say directly that I knew your name from books and TV.
So he smiled and said, "Meng De once said that you are his cousin. The only person in the Cao family who can have such a heroic figure as the general is the brave and wise Cao Ren. Given time, the general will surely become the number one general beside Meng De."
As I said, it doesn't cost any money to praise people, and Liu Zhaoqing is not in a hostile relationship with Cao Cao now, so why not say more good things about the generals around her? Maybe she can speak for you in the future.
As expected, Cao Ren was also a little embarrassed by Liu Zhaoqing's praise. He waved his hand and said, "Although I have martial arts skills, I still can't be the 'first god general' beside Sister Meng De."
"Sister Meng De has extraordinary ambitions. Not to mention that the talented people who join her will surely be as numerous as fish and crucian carp in the future, even within our clan now, there are Yuan Rang and Miao Cai, whose martial arts are not inferior to mine."
Yuan Rang and Miaocai are Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan. These two are even more heavyweights. The former's status in his previous life was even higher than Cao Ren. Both of them were also generals under Cao Cao.
Cao Ren's humility made Liu Zhaoqing even more optimistic about him.
"Isn't General Cao training his troops? Even though the anti-Dong momentum is strong now, we can't be careless when the time comes to fight against Dong Zhuo." Liu Zhaoqing said.
Cao Ren nodded and said, "Yuan Rang and I are responsible for the military training. I asked Yuan Rang to do it before I came here this morning."
Generals like Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun must have understood this matter and did not need Liu Zhaoqing to remind them.
Liu Zhaoqing was just taking this opportunity to get closer to him. For example, now Cao Ren was obviously much calmer and more normal than when he first came in.
"Did General Cao Ren meet Meng De last night?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.
Cao Ren nodded: "What's wrong?"
After thinking for a moment, Liu Zhaoqing asked, "What is the current relationship between Meng De and Yuan Shao? Does General Cao Ren know?"
how about it?
Cao Ren thought for a moment and said, "My sister has always had a good relationship with Yuan Shao. They were both Xiyuan lieutenants in Luoyang, and she even went to Bohai to visit Yuan Shao before."
"Then you didn't have any conflicts with Yuan Shao after coming here? Or are you dissatisfied with Yuan Shao in private?"
Cao Ren frowned, wondering why Liu Zhaoqing asked this, but still replied, "Of course not."
After hearing the answer from Cao Cao's younger sister, Liu Zhaoqing felt a little relieved.
In the previous life, the falling out between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao started with the anti-Dong alliance. The two began to disagree, and finally for various reasons they turned to war.
Looking at it now, at least the relationship between the two is still good, and that is enough.
Liu Zhaoqing didn't want to see Cao Cao and Yuan Shao falling out again at this time, because then the anti-Dong coalition would really have no hope.
In his eyes, even if the coalition forces could not defeat Dong Zhuo, they would at least have to weaken Dong Zhuo's power.
"That's good..." Liu Zhaoqing nodded slightly and then asked again.
"Then General Cao Ren..."
"Does Marquis Changping have anything else to ask?" Cao Ren saw Liu Zhaoqing hesitating and looking puzzled.
"Well, I just want to ask if Meng De is satisfied with the poem I left behind?"
Cao Ren frowned.
Liu Zhaoqing thought this was the answer and looked puzzled: "Ah? But... that shouldn't be the case. Doesn't she like poetry very much? She should like the farewell gift..."
"General Cao Ren, did your sister often talk about me after that?"
"Thinking of you?"
Cao Ren thought about it again and suddenly felt a pang in his heart.
