The imperial edict was issued, and the people from Longxiang Li's mansion and others took action quickly, and many trivial matters needed to be taken care of.

Although the Longxiang Li Mansion is a newly hung door, there are nearly a hundred servants and maids in the mansion, not to mention that Li Li’s five hundred personal guards are stationed.

Since this happened, there have been many people in the Li family and many aftermaths need to be done.

However, Li Li handed all these things to the old housekeeper Li Fu. He became the boss himself, and he was very leisurely.

The day after the imperial edict was given, Li Li learned that he was promoted to the position of the Chief of the Huqiang School and the Prefect of Wuwei this time, which was entirely due to Cai Zhonglang's strong recommendation.

Li Li was very grateful to Cai Yong for this.

The next morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

Outside the mansion, Li Li brought more than a hundred personal soldiers to escort several carriages carrying generous gifts, rode on the famous Dayuan horse, Huang Pi horse and headed straight for Cai Mansion.

The gifts he brought this time can be said to be full of them. Many of the original treasures and rare antiques in the mansion were loaded into the car and pulled them to Cai's mansion in one go.

Anyway, these things look strange but are of little use.

In addition, Li Li was about to go to Liangzhou to take office, and the Longxiang Li Mansion will be an empty house from now on, leaving dozens of servants to guard the door.

Walking on the street, pedestrians on the roadside looked at Li Li and pointed at him, and speculated that the official Li who lived in Pingmin Lane was going to propose marriage. The dowry was great. It seemed that the other party must be the daughter of a wealthy family.

At Cai’s mansion, the gatekeepers were no longer unfamiliar with Li Li. While entering the house to report, they welcomed Li Li and his party into the courtyard.

"Wenchang, you are... You are not moving all the things at home, right?"

When Cai Yan heard that Li Li was coming, he quickly came up with his maid Xiao Huan and asked in surprise.

Li Li smiled calmly and waved his hand to move the objects from the carriage into the Cai Mansion. Then he smiled and said to Cai Yan: "It's not as exaggerated as you said, but it's not far from it."

While speaking, Li Li paused, walked gently to Cai Yan, and whispered in her ear: "Zhao Ji, I'm selling this time to propose marriage. Are you very moved? Do you want to consider following me? Hahaha!"

"Ah! You... are unrestrained, I ignore you!"

Cai Yan lost his voice and felt embarrassed, his pretty face flushed like a cloud of clouds, giving Li Li a look of anger and shame, and then pulled the maid Xiaohuan and turned away.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Cai Yan leaving shyly, Li Li suddenly laughed happily and was very proud.

In the lobby.

Li Li sat under Cai Yong, still humble and polite, and looked like a good boy.

After some greetings, Li Li solemnly thanked Cai Yong, and his gratitude was beyond words.

While Li Li was speaking, Cai Yong looked solemn, frowned, and looked worried.

"Uncle Cai, what's wrong with you? Although the journey of Wuwei County is long and the people are fierce and unwilling to accept Wang Hua, my nephew is confident that he can lay his foundation there, prepare for his troops, resist the barbarians, and protect the territory of our Han Dynasty."

Cai Yong was stunned for a while, then looked at Li Li with deep eyes and asked seriously: "Wenchang, do you know that I have many disciples and old officials, but why do I look at you differently? I regard you as my nephew and strongly recommend you to work in Liangzhou and treat you as my closest relative. Have you ever thought about these?"

"Uh? This... I have never thought about it. Please tell Uncle Cai."

Li Li's expression changed slightly, and his mind was changing, and he replied frankly.

Cai Yong seemed to have known that Li Li would have such a reaction, and said with a serious expression: "Wenchang, in you, I saw the shadow of another person, that person is Cao Cao, the current prefect of Dongjun. You are like him, you are well-behaved, humble and polite, have great ambitions, and are quite heroic. The most important thing is... Both of you like Zhao Ji!

In the past, Cao Cao was in my mansion like you did before. He was extremely humble in his manners to me, and was even more caring to Zhao Ji, giving her gifts every few days. However, Zhao Ji fell in love with Wei Zhongdao at that time, while Cao Cao was older and looked different from ordinary people, so I directly rejected Cao Cao.

What I didn't expect was that Wei Zhongdao was suffering from an old disease and had been ill in less than half a year after getting married to Zhao Ji. It was difficult to get rid of it and unfortunately died. It didn't matter that he let go, but it hurt Zhao Ji. He was not tolerated by the Wei family and regarded as a demon star. I felt deeply guilty about this and often felt sorry for Zhao Ji. If I hadn't rejected Cao Cao, Zhao Ji's fate might not have been so miserable.

Wenchang, do you understand what I said?"

Li Li's heart was shocked at this time, and even his breathing was a little rapid. He never thought that Cai Yan had such a relationship with Cao Cao.

According to historical records, eight years after Cai Yan was robbed and captured by the Southern Xiongnu people, Cao Cao fought in the north and redeemed her from the Xiongnu people for a large amount of money.

It turned out that Cai Yan was Cao Cao's first love. No wonder Cao was so old that he spent a lot of money to redeem her. In the end, although Cao Cao failed to fulfill his long-cherished wish and could bring the beauty back, he also won the reputation of Wen Ji returning to the Han Dynasty.

Only after a woman got married in the Han Dynasty could she take the character, so there was a saying that "waiting for the character to be in the boudoir".

Cai Yan's name was originally Zhao Ji, but later the Sima family secretly occupied the world. Zhao Ji changed "Zhao" to "Wen" because she avoided Sima Zhao's name, so she was called "Cai Wenji".

Thinking of the allusions of later generations in my mind, for a moment, Li Lizhen didn't know whether she should be happy or angry, and she hadn't had the holiday with Cao Cao so deep.

The entire Li family of Beidi County was destroyed by Cao Cao's hands, and Cai Yan was also the one he had coveted for a long time and was obsessed with.

However, time and space are turning, everything starts over again. As long as I, Li Li, still exists in the world, I, swear to deal with Cao Aman to the end.

There are thousands of miles of worlds, you, Cao Cao, can you compete for it, but can't I, Li Li, compete for the world?

Cai Yan is your first love, but she is the fat on my lips now, how can I miss it easily?

It’s not that enemies don’t get together, but the ancients really don’t deceive me.

With a lot of thoughts, Li Li also understood the meaning of Cai Yong's words, "It seems that this old man is consistent with his own ideas. I want to worship him as his father-in-law, and he really wants to accept me as his son-in-law."

He felt a little proud in his heart. Li Li pretended to be confused and said honestly: "Uncle Cai, this kind of thing... uh, my nephew really doesn't dare to speculate without authorization, so as not to ruin Zhao Ji's reputation."

"Um?"

Cai Yong was shocked, and his pair of wise eyes that could penetrate the hearts of the people looked at Li Li with a solemn expression.

After a while, a strange smile flashed across the corner of his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Wenchang, I thought you like a little girl before, but it seems that I am so dizzy and missed. Since you don't have this intention, I have nothing to say. Let's stay in the mansion for lunch, and then you are ready to go to Wuwei to take office."

"Ah! Uncle Cai, you misunderstood my nephew's meaning. What I mean is that I really like Zhao Ji, I wonder what you mean?"

Suddenly being forced into a dead corner by Cai Yong, Li Li suddenly became anxious, no longer reserved, and directly expressed his thoughts.

As soon as he said it, Li Li knew that he had been obsessed with Master Cai. He was too impatient and cared too much about Cai Yan, so he was easily trapped by the old guy.

However, a man is a real man, and he spits out and a nail. Since he has made the words clear, Li Li can face them calmly.

"Hahaha! This is a real good man!"

Cai Yong said with a laugh. Then, his face changed and he said solemnly: "Wenchang, since you are interested in Zhao Ji and Zhao Ji also has a good impression of you, I will naturally not interfere and act as a villain. On the contrary, I will do my best to help you accomplish things. I just hope that you will treat Zhao Ji well in the future and do not let her be hurt.

Although Liangzhou is in chaos and the princes are in power, the people there are simple and simple, with a vast sky and vast land, not as dull as Chang'an City. When you get on, take Zhao Ji away and let her follow you out for a break. Otherwise, she will be bitter all day long, which will make me feel distressed."

"Ah! Uncle Cai, you...you said you asked me to take Zhao Ji away?" Li Li asked in horror.

Cai Yong looked at Li Li with a solemn face, nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, Zhao Ji will entrust you to you! I hope I did not misread the person this time, and I will find someone who can truly entrust his life for Zhao Ji!"

Li Li's current thinking is really a bit unfollowing Cai Yong's ideas. He never expected that Cai Yong would hand over Cai Yan to him so easily?

Why? Is it so easy for me to trust with a good face?

"Uncle Cai, do you really trust me so much? Are you not afraid that I am an ungrateful wolf. I will gain your trust just to gain official positions; after taking advantage of Zhao Ji, then abandon her?"

Since the matter has been made clear, Li Li no longer has any scruples and asked for inquiries.

Cai Yong stared at Li Li and said softly, "Are you such a person?"

Li Li was speechless and rolled his eyes.

Cai Yong continued with a complex expression and said solemnly: "Wenchang should have some understanding of my current situation. I am stuck between Wang Yun and other old ministers and Dong Zhuo, and I am in a dilemma and in a difficult situation. Although Taishi Dong has the advantage at present, I have known Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others for many years and have a deep understanding of the temperament of these old ministers. At present, they are openly surrendering to Taishi Dong, cautious and concise, but they are always thinking about getting rid of Taishi.

The root of disaster has been planted, and sooner or later they will intensify conflicts and cause an uproar. And I am stuck between them, and I am not a person inside or outside, so I can only help each other, thank guests in the closed doors, and write books intently. When they decide the outcome, that is, when the disaster is in the forefront of me, Cai Yong, will never be able to protect myself.

Therefore, while I am still a little bit weak, I will get you a job with a shameless face, take Zhao Ji away, stay away from this place of failure. The enemies that Mingdao and Ming robbed are not scary, and the truly terrible enemies often come from people who are familiar with you or behind you. I believe that a person who can defeat a famous general like Zhu Ye will definitely not be left in the hands of a group of Xiliang reckless men, and you will definitely be safe.

I was a little tired, so I went back to my room to rest first, and Wenchang took his own wishes.”

Cai Yong was really tired, but his great scholar was pulled into the cracks of political competition, exhausted and walking on thin ice.
