After saying that, Bai Feng knew that there was no need for him to stay.
He had already given them the answer they wanted. As for whether they stayed or left, it did not have much to do with him.
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Bai Feng walked onto the street.
Xuchang was indeed a good place. Compared to Jingzhou, it was not as stuffy and the air was exceptionally fresh.
It was currently a market. Bai Feng could not help but walk towards the market.
Now that the dust had settled, he might as well go for a walk.
Xuchang's market was not quite the same as Jingzhou. It was not as bustling, but it still had everything. There were many trinkets that Bai Feng had never seen before.
As he strolled, a little girl suddenly ran towards Bai Feng and bumped into Bai Feng.
Although Bai Feng was not fat, his physique was extremely strong. After being hit, he did not move at all.
However, the little girl cried out in pain and was sent flying half a meter away by Bai Feng.
Fortunately, Bai Feng reacted quickly and quickly ran forward to grab the little girl. Only then did she avoid disaster.
"How dare you! Take your dirty hands off me! "
Suddenly, Bai Feng heard a shrill female voice. Then, a slap came towards him.
Bai Feng raised his hand and waved it. How could the person withstand Bai Feng's strength? She covered her hand and took a few steps back.
Bai Feng steadied the little girl and let go of her hand.
"You!"
The girl widened her eyes and looked at Bai Feng. Just as she was about to yell at him, she was stopped by a person wearing a white chiffon dress.
"Miss Diao Chan …"
The girl looked at the person who came with great respect.
Diao Chan?
Bai Feng's face instantly fell.
Why was it this woman again? Was she following him?
When Diao Chan saw Bai Feng, she immediately narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Isn't this Lord Bai? Lord Bai, you are so busy every day. How do you have time to stroll around the market?"
Bai Feng's face instantly fell.
Busy every day?
Who was Li Wanji?
When had he ever done such a thing?
Seeing that Bai Feng was ignoring her, Diao Chan did not get angry.
"Do you know who the girl you knocked down is? Why aren't you saluting? "
"Salute?"
Bai Feng was a little confused. Why did he have to bow to a little girl? Is she my elder?
However, the little girl cupped her chubby little hands and said,
"Sister Diao Chan, please don't make things difficult for this Mister. I was careless and bumped into Mister. If Mister had not saved me, I'm afraid I would have been bruised."
Upon hearing this, Bai Feng was rather puzzled.
Although this little girl looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, the way she spoke was very mature. She didn't look like an ordinary person.
Diao Chan noticed Bai Feng's confusion and smiled sweetly.
"This is the prime minister's daughter, Cao Jie."
Cao Jie?!
Upon hearing this name, Bai Feng couldn't be more familiar with it.
This Cao Jie was not an ordinary person. She was the empress of Emperor Xian of Han!
Although Emperor Xian of Han had been the emperor for a long time, he was at most fifteen or sixteen years old. Thinking about it this way, she was about the same age as the little girl in front of him.
However, Cao Jie was Boss Cao's precious daughter. She was in his hands and in his mouth, he was afraid that she would melt.
Boss Cao actually dared to let Diao Chan bring his precious daughter to the market?
"Miss Diao Chan, please don't joke with me."
Bai Feng shook his head in disbelief.
However, when Diao Chan heard this, she burst out laughing.
"Mr Bai, you're really interesting. Why would I lie to you?"
"She is Cao Jie, as real as it gets."
"I was just recently ordered by the prime minister to teach Miss Cao Jie the four arts of zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. Miss Cao Jie was curious today and wanted to come to the market to take a look. Is that not allowed?"
Bai Feng suddenly felt a headache coming on. He saluted and said,
"Then I won't disturb Miss Cao any further. I still have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
Bai Feng did not want to have anything to do with Diao Chan at all now.
Moreover, there was still Cao Jie.
"Hey, Mr Bai, don't go yet."
Diao Chan called out to Bai Feng and said with a smile,
"The two of us were just about to go to your mansion to look for you. Since we met here, why don't you bring Miss Cao around to have some fun?"
"Look for me?"
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Diao Chan's sly smile.
Why did he feel that something bad was going to happen?
Cao Jie also spoke up.
"So you're Mr Bai. Cao Jie greets Mr Bai. Father told me to study hard and learn how to read. Since Mr Bai is my military advisor, you're naturally well-versed in both ancient and modern times.
"Father also said that one is marked by the company one keeps. If I hang out with Mr Bai, I'll definitely become very popular."
Hearing Cao Jie's childish speech, Bai Feng was both angry and amused.
'I'm a living person, not a dye. How can I become very popular when I hang out with him?'
The landowning households were all staring at him. If he were to be so close to Cao Jie now, it would definitely cause them to criticize him.
Now that the system had just issued a new mission, Bai Feng thought it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Bai Feng did not want to get involved in this kind of trouble.
However, now that Cao Jie had said so, it would not be good for him to refuse.
At this moment, Cao Jie continued to smile.
"Mr Bai, I can understand if you don't want to play with me.
"But Father recently issued a request for talents. The front of the market is very lively. Are you not interested in this, Mr Bai?"
Hearing Cao Jie's words, Bai Feng was a little confused.
'Request for talents?'
Diao Chan saw Bai Feng's puzzled expression and could not help but ask,
"Mr Bai, as a military advisor, doesn't know about this?"
Bai Feng did not care if he was the first to know about this.
According to the development of history, Cao Cao would definitely issue a request for talents in the future. However, it was definitely not now. It was too early!
The issuance of this request for talents was undoubtedly the beginning of Cao Cao's ambition to become king.
What was a request for talents? It was a request based on talent, not based on background!
This was no different from dividing the power of the landowning households!
Why did this Boss Cao choose this time to make a move? Wasn't it a little too early?
This was the Three Kingdoms era. It was completely different from the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty. Only people with good backgrounds could become officials. Otherwise, they could only be ordinary people.
Only famous officials like the Young Wolong, Phoenix, and Shui Jing would be able to obtain an official position.
If not for his many suggestions, he would not have been able to become an official with his commoner background.
Bai Feng could no longer sit still. He put his hands behind his back and walked toward the front of the market.
"Mr Bai! What are you in such a hurry for? Wait for Jie. "
When Cao Jie saw that Bai Feng was willing to go with him, he hurriedly followed Bai Feng and walked forward with her.
Diao Chan and a few other maids also followed closely behind.
When they reached the center of the market, a large group of people surrounded a place that looked like an arena.
Bai Feng knew that Cao Jie was not lying.
The request for talents had clearly been issued.
The people gathered here were all from humble backgrounds. They were talented people, and there was no lack of famous officials.
