Chapter 143 Marrying Sister Cai Yan?

Ten days passed quickly.

Tomorrow is the day when Ye Feng leads his troops north.

Because Queen He felt guilty about Ye Feng, and no one in the court wanted Ye Feng to stay, weapons, military equipment, soldiers, food and fodder were all given the green light and everything went smoothly.

The night before leaving, in the study at Cai Mansion.

Cai Yong and Ye Feng sat opposite each other.

"Feng'er, have you really decided to leave Luoyang?"

"Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. It would be as difficult as climbing to heaven to come back after this departure."

Ye Feng picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip: "Father-in-law, do you think the young emperor can convince the people? Will the power of the court be transferred smoothly?"

This rhetorical question made Cai Yong silent for a long while.

"When a whale falls, everything comes to life. Emperor Liu Hong, He Jin, and Yuan Huai all died at the hands of the Ten Eunuchs, and the power of the court was completely lost."

"Before, because you held military power, you were able to deter many villains, but after you left."

"It is inevitable that there will be a fight. Although Yuan Shao is young, he has already been a wise man. Now he has become the helmsman of the Yuan family. Even Ding Yuan, who is far away in Bingzhou, has led his troops to the capital. Who can compete with him?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Dong Zhuo has 200,000 soldiers from Xiliang. In terms of strength, I'm afraid no one in the world can compete with him head-on."

Cai Yong's eyes flashed with disdain: "No matter how many people there are, if he has no reputation and no benevolence, who will support him?"

"It's just a bunch of people!"

He seemed to have thought of something when he said this, and his eyes became more serious: "Feng'er, do you think Yuan Shao is not his opponent?"

Ye Feng didn't say much, but smiled faintly: "Time is the best answer."

"The Han Dynasty's national fortune has completely dissipated, foreshadowing the complete decline of this dynasty."

“No one can stop it.”

"In fact, father-in-law can listen to me and leave Kyoto, this place of trouble."

"As long as you nod, it's just a matter of words."

Cai Yong was silent for a long time, then shook his head slightly: "I am old, and I may be able to say a few more words for you in the court. Although it may not have much effect, at least I can tell you the first-hand information."

"If I leave here, what good will an old bone do?"

Ye Feng wanted to persuade him again, but Cai Yong interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "I have had great ambitions since I was young, but because the court is dark and corruption is rampant, I have no chance to serve my country."

"Then I devoted myself to the mountains and forests, traveled around the world, and understood the hardships of the lower classes."

"Originally I shouldn't have supported your dangerous ideas, but as you said, the Han Dynasty is about to end, and everything is rotten to the core. That's why I want to do something for the people."

"But some obsessions cannot be resolved by simply thinking them through."

"I also know that leaving Luoyang is the best choice, but I hope to see the Han Empire off for the last time. It has nothing to do with the outcome, but only for the sake of the young people's hearts."

At this moment, Ye Feng saw a hint of young man's stubbornness in Cai Yong.

He smiled and said, "I will follow my father-in-law's arrangements. But when the capital changes drastically, you must leave without any hesitation."

Cai Yong laughed and stroked his beard: "I'll listen to you."

"If the world really collapses, what use will my old bones be?"

"It's time to enjoy family happiness!"

"By the way, take Yan'er away."

"If you leave, Kyoto will not be safe anymore. We can't let that girl go."

Before Ye Feng could agree, someone pushed the door open and walked in.

"Father, I won't leave either!"

The one who spoke was naturally Cai Yan. She had wanted to take the opportunity to see her beloved by delivering tea, but she actually heard the conversation between the two. She didn't care whether the big man existed, but she was naturally worried about her father's safety.

Seeing his daughter's anxious look, Cai Yong naturally felt warm in his heart, and looked at Cai Yan with a smile: "Why, didn't you pack your things before?"

"Don't want to leave with Feng'er anymore?"

Cai Yan glanced at Ye Feng apologetically: "I'm sorry."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Feng stretched out his finger and pressed it on the beautiful woman's lips: "Why do we have to say these things to each other?"

"I know what you mean."

"I came here today with the idea of ​​convincing my father-in-law, but I failed. How can I really let him stay in Luoyang alone?"

"I can feel at ease if you accompany me."

Cai Yong was anxious: "Feng'er, if what you said is true, Luoyang will be in turmoil. If Yan'er gets hurt, how can I feel at ease?"

"How can she see her mother in the underworld?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law. If I don't even have the ability to protect my own woman, how can I have the face to plot against the world?"

"I have already arranged everything. No matter what happens in Luoyang, you and Yan'er will be safe."

At this moment, an invisible aura of kingship emanated from him. No matter whether it was Cai Yong or Cai Yan, there was a hint of something different in their eyes when they looked at Ye Feng.

The night wind blew into the study through the crack in the door. The candlelight swayed back and forth, and the shadows were reflected on the wall, stretching out long.

Only at this moment did Cai Yong understand why he, the "future" son-in-law, had become the object of fear from all parties.

If Ye Feng can really soar into the sky in the future, his daughter will be the first to marry him, and she may also be able to compete for the position of queen.

If you delay important things because of your ridiculous obsessions, won’t it be too late to regret?
Cai Yong thought of this and laughed. He held Ye Feng with one hand and Cai Yan with the other: "If it weren't for the troubled times, you two would have loved each other and got married a long time ago."

"I originally thought that after you were settled in Luoyang, I would call your parents over and get you married in Luoyang together."

"It's just that I didn't expect that after His Majesty's death, the court would be in such a mess."

"Now you are going to separate again."

"But marriage cannot be put off any longer."

"As the saying goes, it is better to do it today than to wait for a day. How about you two get married today in front of your father?"

Cai Yan's beautiful cheeks flushed instantly, and she tucked her head into her chest and said softly, "Everything is up to my father!"

Ye Feng didn't expect it to happen so suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "My father-in-law is a great scholar of the time. How can the marriage of our children not follow the rules of etiquette?"

"If this gets out, I'm afraid it will affect my father-in-law's reputation."

Cai Yong clapped his hands and smiled: "People of my generation only want to be worthy of the heavens and the earth, why should we care about other people's opinions?"

"As long as Yan'er is happy, everything is worth it."

Having said this, he paused for a moment and said rather unhappily: "Or is your calling me 'father-in-law' just a superficial respect?"

"Isn't there Cai Yan in your heart?"

Ye Feng waved his hands repeatedly: "Father-in-law, what are you talking about? It is my dream to marry a beauty like Yan'er. How can I be unwilling?"

"I'm willing to listen to your arrangements!"

Cai Yong laughed: "Come here, prepare red candles and wedding wine!"

"Hurry up!"

"Tonight I will take you to the bridal chamber"

Cai Yan's pretty face turned even redder.

Ye Feng: “.”
