Chapter 848 Promise
The Duke of Zhou's Tower is near, and Cao Cao is still in the Duke of Zhou's Tower...
Just when Xia Pingan was about to approach Zhougong Tower, at a street intersection near Zhougong Tower, a sharp and scrutinizing gaze came from the window of the nearby teahouse and fell directly on Xia Pingan.
An elegant old man wearing a light yellow gown, who looked like a teacher, was drinking tea in the teahouse here. His eyes were inadvertently examining everyone passing by on the street outside Zhougong Tower like a sieve.
Xia Pingan turned his head and glanced at the old man. The old man's hand that was holding the tea cup shook violently, and the tea overflowed from the cup. His whole face suddenly changed. The old man's eyes widened. Suddenly his mouth went dry and his heart beat like a drum. He originally wanted to stand up, but found that his body had been frozen by someone's magic at some point. The magic was like an invisible snare, but it was The snare technique was much more powerful than what a strong person in the Eight Yang Realm could use at his level, and it directly locked him in place, making him sit down and unable to move.
Initially, the old man was not sure that it was really the person he saw, thinking that it was someone in disguise with ulterior motives. However, when he found that he could not move at all, he took a long breath, calmed down, and just smiled bitterly. After a while, continue drinking tea with peace of mind.
This is the terrifying thing about the top demigods. It is normal for him to be in the Eight Yang Realm and not be able to withstand it here. Looking at the entire Great Shang Kingdom, no one can withstand it. Moreover, this old man knows very well why Her Royal Highness the Princess often comes here. place, that person coming to Shangjing like this will not be detrimental to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Soon, Xia Pingan, holding an umbrella, arrived at the door of Zhougong Tower.
The maid guarding the door was slightly startled when she saw another person coming. She thought to herself that those Imperial City Guards were moving very fast. In just a short time, another person was arranged to come...
"Wow..." Xia Pingan put away the oil-paper umbrella, and the maid guarding the door saw Xia Pingan's face clearly as she came holding the umbrella.
"Ah... big... big..." The maid was frightened, her eyes widened. Of course she remembered Xia Ping'an's face, but she couldn't have imagined that this face would appear again in Shangjing City. Appearing in front of Zhou Gonglou and her, the maid's throat seemed to be blocked, and both adults were completely stuttering.
"Cao Cao is still in there, right?" Xia Pingan smiled and handed over the oil-paper umbrella.
"Here...here..." The maid numbly took Xia Pingan's oil-paper umbrella and stammered.
"Well, okay, let me go in and take a look..." Xia Ping'an said, and walked directly into the outer hall of Zhougong Building.
…
In the outer hall, Cao Cao was still sulking. When he heard footsteps that were obviously men's in the corridor outside, Cao Cao grabbed a pen on the table and threw it towards the corner of the corridor, cursing, "You big liars still want to deceive me, get out!"
The pen rotated in the air and flew toward the entrance of the aisle. Then, a hand smacked over from the corner of the aisle and caught the pen firmly.
"We haven't seen each other for a few years. You have such a bad temper, Cao Cao, that you dare to smash things in my building. If you do, you'll have to pay for it..." As he spoke, Xia Pingan walked in from the corner of the corridor. Looking at Cao Cao with a smile.
Hearing this familiar voice and looking at the face that had never changed, he stood up from behind the table in a hurry.
There's no mistake, it's him!
Just looking at the cynical but seemingly indifferent smile on Xia Pingan's face, Cao Cao knew that it was him. He was here. For some reason, Cao Cao felt his nose was sore and his eyes were hot. Without even thinking about it, he just... Zi rushed over, hugged the man tightly, and suddenly buried his head in Xia Pingan's chest.
Xia Pingan also hugged Cao Cao and smelled the faint fragrance in Cao Cao's hair.
The two of them just held each other, motionless. Cao Cao's shoulders moved slightly, and he held Xia Pingan firmly with both hands. After three or four minutes, Xia Pingan gently patted Cao Cao's shoulder and spoke, " Okay, stop crying. If you cry again, my clothes will get wet and I will have to change my clothes..."
"Who... who is crying..." Cao Cao raised her head from Xia Pingan's arms, her eyes were full of tears and completely red. She wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled, "I... just just now I was blinded by the sand...by the way...you...why are you back?"
Xia Ping'an sighed, with a distressed look on his face, "Oh, can I not come back? I heard that there is an additional female dreamer in the Zhougong Tower in the capital city. The fees are quite expensive, but no one can interpret dreams accurately, so... He is fierce and often beats away guests. Unfortunately, my public house has not yet established its reputation in the upper capital, and it is about to be smashed. Do you think I can come back and take a look? "
A faint red cloud appeared on Cao Cao's face. She lowered her head guiltily, glanced at Xia Pingan, and stuck out her tongue, "I... I just... just... someone needs to take care of it here, so I Just came to take care of it..."
"It seems like you've become a lot more capable!" Xia Pingan smiled and touched his belly, "I haven't eaten for a long time. I'm rushing back to the capital this time and my stomach is still empty. Can you give me some food?" Can I get something to fill my stomach?"
Caocao felt like she was hit by happiness all of a sudden. She had been practicing in the palace for a long time for this day, "Okay, wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll get it right away. I've learned several good dishes." !”
"Ah, do you want me to buy some food?" Xia Pingan asked.
"No, no, there are all in the kitchen at the back..." Cao Cao said with a beaming eyebrow, and quickly ran towards the kitchen in the back hall. He almost jumped up, ran a few steps, and then turned around with a look on his face. He warned seriously, "Sit here and wait for the guests to come. Don't come to the kitchen. I'll call you when I'm ready..."
"Don't you need my help?"
"no, I'm fine!"
Seeing Cao Cao leaving happily, Xia Pingan smiled, came to sit down behind the table, waved his hand on the table, and pen, ink, paper and inkstone appeared on the table. He dipped the pen in the ink, calmed down, and then Write four words on a piece of paper "Dream Interpretation by Zhou Gong". After these four words, add a few more words, "Gift Cao Cao".
Then, Xia Pingan started to write, and lines of flying handwriting appeared on the paper.
The poem says: There are many dreams at night, and the soul predicts good and bad luck. Zhuang Zhou turns into a butterfly, and Lu Wangzhao flies into a bear. Ding Gu gave birth to pine trees and nobles, Jiang Hai gained pen wisdom, Huang Liang and Wu Gorge were involved in the matter, nothing could be poor other than this.
The first chapter, heaven, earth, sun, moon and stars.
The gate of heaven opens, the noble man recommends it, the light of the sky burns the body, the disease disappears, the sky clears, the rain disperses, and all the worries go away. When dawn comes, a woman will give birth to a noble son, but before the gate arrives, there will be a shortage of war...
…
At almost the same time, Beitang Wangchuan and Lin Yi were still in the political hall discussing the adjustment of Beijing's underground defense matters. As soon as the light in the political hall dimmed, Beitang Zhao, who had been in retreat before, appeared in front of the two of them without any warning. before.
Beitang Wangchuan and Lin Yi were shocked and saluted quickly.
"I've met my father!"
"I have met His Majesty!"
Looking at Beitang Zhao's serious face, Beitang Wangchuan felt a little upset in his heart. He secretly thought about whether he had handled state affairs improperly during this period, and found that there were no mistakes. Then he felt a little calmer and asked tentatively. One sentence, "Didn't my father say that this retreat is very important? It will take at least a year without being disturbed. Why did my father suddenly come out of seclusion?"
Beitang Zhao glanced at Beitang Wangchuan and Ji Yi, and said calmly, "Xia Ping'an has arrived in Shangjing City!"
"What?" Beitang Wangchuan and Lin Yi's expressions changed at the same time. Just now, they were discussing Xia Pingan's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Xia Pingan appeared in Shangjing City.
"Ah, Father, how do you know? Just now I was discussing with Commander Lin how to contact Xia Pingan again?" Beitang Wangchuan asked.
"This is the connection between the powerful demigods. It was Xia Ping'an who deliberately let me know that he has arrived in Shangjing City!" Beitang Zhao shook his head slightly, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Zhou Gong Tower, and took a deep breath. He said, "He is currently in Zhougong Tower with Cao Cao, please go down and don't let anyone disturb you!"
…
Xia Ping'an was writing "Dream Interpretation by Zhou Gong" silently in the Zhou Gong Building, while Cao Cao was busy enthusiastically in the kitchen in the back hall of the Zhou Gong Building. Outside the Zhou Gong Building, it was still raining, but the pedestrians on the street were already unconscious. Became scarce.
The area around Zhougong Tower seemed extremely quiet, with almost no one disturbing except for the sound of raindrops.
Lin Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Judgment Army, has personally dispatched and placed heavy guards on the streets a kilometer outside the Zhougong Tower.
The Crown Prince Beitang Wangchuan was sitting in a carriage, waiting patiently and silently on the street a thousand meters away from Zhougong Tower. While waiting, he came to Beitang Wangchuan's carriage and told Bei A "good news" from Tang Wangchuan. The Judgment Army discovered that Beitang Wangshan was lurking in Shangjing City and had already executed him.
Beitang Wangchuan was shocked by the news. He rushed to "Shuntian Bufang" in person and saw Beitang Wangshan who died with a strange appearance. Only then did he believe that the serious trouble he had in his heart finally died here.
…
Looking at the table full of delicious, delicious and tasty meals cooked in front of me by someone who once couldn't even cook noodles.
Xia Pingan didn't know what to say. He just picked up one of Cao Cao's hands and spread it out in his own palm. On Cao Cao's delicate, green-onion-like fingers, he could vaguely see the knife scratches. Two fresh scars.
Cao Cao quickly retracted the scarred hand and argued unyieldingly, "It's normal to get scratches while cooking. Others can do it too. It's not that I'm stupid..."
Xia Pingan smiled and said, "Let's eat together and let me try Chef Cao Cao's skills..."
Cao Cao sat down next to Xia Ping An, watching Xia Ping An nodding and praising her for a job well done while eating the food she cooked, Cao Cao felt that there is no happiness in life better than this...
While eating, Xia Ping'an took out the bound book "The Interpretation of Dreams by Duke Zhou" and handed it to Cao Cao, "Here, this book is a secret book of dream interpretation. I have all the skills to keep it under the box." here!"
He hastily took "The Interpretation of Dreams by Duke Zhou" and just opened it twice before his eyes lit up and he almost jumped for joy, "That's great. With this, I can also be a dreamer. Huh, you have some conscience and you can eat this book." The young lady cooked the food herself, and she also knows how to repay kindness. By the way, why do you suddenly want to give me this secret book?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to be a dream fortune teller before? This time I came back to the capital to see you and fulfill your little wish..." Xia Pingan said in a calm tone.
Cao Cao, who was happily flipping through "The Interpretation of Dreams by Duke Zhou", seemed to feel something and understand something for some reason. The smile on her face gradually disappeared. She raised her head and asked Xia Pingan a question in a slightly trembling voice, "What will you do in the future?" ...Are you not coming back?”
This question made Xia Pingan silent for a moment, "I don't know...can I come back?"
Caocao's beautiful eyes were suddenly filled with tears. She raised her hand and quickly wiped away the fallen tears. With her eyes red, she still smiled sweetly and stretched out a finger, looking expectantly. Looking at Xia Pingan, "It doesn't matter, I'll wait for you. I know that you have advanced to demigod and become super powerful. You are the most powerful, more powerful than my father. There is no place in this world where you can't come back. Let's hook up and make an agreement. You have to promise me that I will look after Zhougong Tower for you and prepare delicious food for you when you come back. However, you don't wait until I turn into an old woman before I come back. When that time comes, I have become old and ugly, unable to walk or cook, and I am embarrassed to see you again. I will find a place to hide so that you will never see me... At that time... you will never see me. The one who is still willing to cook for you and loves to laugh..."
Cao Cao, who stretched out a finger and waited to hook up with Xia Pingan, still smiled sweetly, but Xia Pingan was already in tears.
Under Cao Cao's expectant eyes, Xia Pingan stretched out his fingers and hooked them with Cao Cao's...
