This time the city entry was even more grand than yesterday. At this time, Sima Yi did not stand in the crowd, but stood behind Sima Lang. After yesterday's incident, he always felt that the person who wanted to kill him was not an ordinary soldier, but a bit like a hero. Therefore, he developed a strong interest in this person and thought that he might be able to see him again.

Sima Yi, who changed the angle, also saw the details he had not noticed yesterday in the crowd:

Among the bustling crowds, some people seemed to be paying attention to not at the city gate where Cao Cao was about to appear, but were scanning back and forth among the people around them. Before Sima Yi could think about it, a large group of people appeared at the city gate.

At this moment, the leader of the team feels that he is completely different from Cao Hong yesterday:

He crossed the black-maned and shadow horse, wearing yellow cloth clothes, gold-edged black-scale armor, and a royal blue cloak printed with a rosy totem on his shoulders. He was majestic and heroic. He exuded a domineering aura between his eyebrows, and his aura was extraordinary, and the appearance of the king was fully revealed.

When he arrived in front of the waiting officials, Cao Cao dismounted and walked steadily to Zhao Weisun's face. He smiled and held Zhao Weisun's hand with a smile and said enthusiastically: "I'm sorry, General Zhao has been waiting for a long time, Meng De is ashamed."

Zhao Weisun and others bowed together and bowed: "Where is it? I have heard of Cao Gong's name for a long time. Today I have seen it really extraordinary."

Cao Cao waved his hand and laughed: "It's just a martial artist, General Zhao is over-reputable."

At this time, Cao Cao focused his eyes on Sima Lang beside Zhao Weisun, and saw that he was gentle and handsome, with a scholarly look. Cao Cao looked up at him with a puzzled face and asked, "Is my father Sima Fang, Sima Linggong, or the emperor of Jingzhao?"

Sima Lang did not expect Cao Cao to know his father, so he hurriedly replied: "That's right, Cao Gong sees him clearly."

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao immediately grabbed Sima Lang's hand excitedly, and said with tears in his eyes: "When I was twenty years old, Ling Zun strongly recommended me to serve as the Northern Commander of Luoyang, so that I could serve the court, otherwise how could I have Cao Mengde today?"

Sima Yi, who was standing behind Sima Lang, kept his head down. Although he had not seen Cao Cao, he vaguely felt that the voice was so familiar, as if he had heard it not long ago, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

After briefly reviewing the past with Sima Lang, Cao Cao noticed the two boys standing behind Sima Lang and asked curiously:

"Berda, who are these two?"

Sima Lang quickly pushed the two of them to Cao Cao and introduced:

"This is my two younger brothers, the second brother Sima Yi and the third brother Sima Fu."

Seeing that Sima Yi and his brothers kept bowing their heads, Cao Cao reached out to help the two of them up and asked with kindness:

"No need to be polite, how big is the second son this year?"

Sima Fu then calmly replied: "Go back to Cao Gong, I am twelve years old this year."

Seeing that he was calm when facing him and had no sense of stage fright, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and then turned his gaze to Sima Yi. Just as he looked up, Sima Yi was stunned when he saw Cao Cao's eyes. This look was exactly the same as the look he saw the Cao army soldier last night. The aggressive chill under the moonlight and the shadow of the sword seemed to shake Sima Yi's heart again. At this time, he was unable to speak in the face of Cao Cao's waiting smile for a long time.

Sima Lang felt very strange. Although Sima Yi didn't speak much, he was never cowardly when he saw a stranger. Today, he stood there as if he was possessed, staring at Cao Cao blankly and not speaking. Seeing this, Sima Lang quickly answered for him:

"Report to Mr. Cao, he is thirteen years old this year."

Cao Cao also felt that the boy in front of him looked familiar, but before he could think too much, Zhao Weisun stepped forward and said:

"Mr. Cao has been exhausted all the way. I have prepared a banquet. Please ask Mr. Cao to move his way."

Zhao Weisun's words diverted Cao Cao's attention, and he did not think much about Sima Yi.

After the banquet, Cao Cao returned to his residence, took off his shoes, sat on the ground barefoot and stretched his waist. After yawning, he said to Xun Yu beside him: "Wenruo, have you eaten any good things today?"

Xun Yu understood what Cao Cao meant and smiled and said, "I see that among the officials and generals in the city, only Sima Lang can be of great use."

After hearing this, Cao Cao sat up suddenly: "Well, your thoughts coincide with me, and I only value him. If you are not as good as Xun Yu in terms of the overall situation, but I think only a person like Sima Lang can do it."

"The lord is praised by mistake." Xun Yu said: "If the lord has intentions, Sima Lang can be transferred to his side for appointment."

In fact, Cao Cao also adopted Xun Yu's suggestion, but Sima Lang had many brothers around him, all of whom were underage and were sick and inappropriate to be an official, so he could only refuse. Cao Cao had to give up, but when he left Liyang, he said to Sima Lang:

"If there is no place to go in the future, come and find me at any time."

Sima Lang thanked him, while Sima Yi has never shown up since he confirmed Cao Cao's identity. He was afraid that Cao Cao would recognize him and thus be in danger of his life, so he hid at home. When Zhao Rui came to play with him, he refused to go out on the grounds of physical discomfort.

After Cao Cao left, Liyang City was as usual, and Sima Yi, who had been studying the books left by the old man in the hat, rarely went out.

He didn't even find that Zhao Rui had a good impression of her. Every time Zhao Rui brought snacks to Sima Lang's house, she pretended to give it only to Sima Fu and others. She wanted to deliberately lead Sima Yi to come, but Sima Yi either just held Shu Jian to study or accompanied Zhang Chunhua, who had already learned to walk and talk. This scene aroused strong dissatisfaction in Zhao Rui's heart, and she even began to be jealous of Zhang Chunhua.

In addition, Sima Yi also hung the jade pendant left by his mother on Zhang Chunhua's neck with a red rope to bless her with peace in Chang'an.
