Marriage?
Bai Feng immediately understood.
Once Cao Cao's words came out, everything in front of him matched up.
He was really concerned about his personal affairs.
For a moment, he looked at Cao Cao's somewhat vulgar smile.
For a moment, Bai Feng recalled the scene that had happened in the market.
At that time, someone shouted that the Prime Minister had betrothed Cao Jie to him. At that time, Cao Jie's little face was flushed red.
Now that he thought about it …
Cao Cao continued with a smile on his face.
"Teacher, as the saying goes, if we don't get rid of internal troubles, how can we get rid of external troubles?
"Although it's true that a real man should make outstanding contributions, Teacher has already done so.
"This marriage is also extremely important!"
At this point, Cao Cao even reached out and tightly grasped Bai Feng's hand.
Bai Feng was instantly speechless.
What internal troubles? What external troubles? These are all completely irrelevant.
Shouldn't he be talking about how to deal with the landowning households, or how to deal with Liu Bei and Sun Quan?
Why was he talking about marriage now?
"Now that Jie 'er has reached the age of marriage, I was originally wondering if I should betroth Jie' er to the current Emperor.
"But thinking about it carefully, the Emperor has always been living in the depths of the palace. Jie 'er will definitely be very boring if she marries over.
"As a father, how can I watch my children suffer?
"It's better to betroth Jie 'er to you, Teacher.
"Teacher, you currently have a high prestige in our army, and you have made outstanding contributions time and time again. Furthermore, you are a peerless talent. I'll be relieved to hand Jie 'er to you."
Cao Cao said so much in one breath like a rapid succession, not giving Bai Feng any chance to interrupt.
After beating around the bush for so long, he really wanted to betroth Cao Jie to him.
Bai Feng's face twitched a little.
Although it felt a little nonsensical.
But that Cao Jie was really cute. She was a proper little loli.
Moreover, Cao Cao wasn't exaggerating. At first glance, Bai Feng could tell that Cao Jie was definitely a talented girl.
Thinking back to history, after she married Emperor Xian of Han, she still dared to throw the imperial seal at her brother, who was already an emperor. Her courage and strategy were not something that ordinary women could compare to.
However, he had only met Cao Jie once.
Wouldn't it be too hasty to get married like this?
Thinking of this, Bai Feng coughed dryly and cupped his hands.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Prime Minister."
"Has the Prime Minister thought about something?"
Seeing that Bai Feng did not reject him directly, Cao Cao continued with a smile.
"Oh? What is it? "
Bai Feng continued.
"Currently, Sun Quan in Jiangdong, Ma Teng, Han Sui in Xiliang, Liu Bei, and the Southern Barbarian Lands have yet to be pacified."
"If I want to pacify these places, I will have to fight on the battlefield and pacify the world for the Prime Minister."
"But swords have no eyes on the battlefield. I'm just an ordinary person. If something were to happen to me, then wouldn't Miss Cao Jie …"
Cao Cao immediately waved his hand and said, "Mister, don't be so humble.
"Mister, you don't have to be modest. Even fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were defeated by you without any injuries."
"If Lu Bu was still alive, I'm afraid he wouldn't be a match for you, let alone have an accident."
"If you are an ordinary person, then wouldn't all the famous officials in the world be inferior to ordinary people?"
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Bai Feng pursed his lips and said,
"Prime Minister, have you asked Madam and Miss Cao Jie for their opinions on this matter?"
"Although nowadays, marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers, I have never believed in these things."
"But I've never believed in such things. There should be feelings between men and women."
"If Miss Cao Jie's heart is not with me and she is with someone she doesn't like, she will definitely be depressed every day."
"When that happens, how can you not feel heartache?"
Bai Feng understood that he could not refuse Cao Cao's request.
Moreover, this matter was only beneficial to him. However, if Cao Jie's heart was not with him, then there was no need to force it.
After all, a woman like Cao Jie who was pampered since childhood but still had courage and talent was very rare.
Most importantly, she was really good-looking!
Even if Diao Chan stood next to her, she would not be inferior to a beauty!
Cao Cao laughed when he heard this.
"If that's the case, Mister, you agree?"
"As for Jie 'er, if she has no feelings for you, why would she only smile at you when she is the most depressed?"
"I will naturally inform Madam. Mister, you don't have to worry."
"Since you have agreed, then the two of you can choose a date to get married!"
"I will be relieved when the two of you tie the knot. Hahahaha."
Bai Feng could hear two meanings in Cao Cao's words.
One was that he was relieved about his children's marriage and Bai Feng's marriage.
The other was Cao Cao's true meaning.
Tie the knot and deepen their relationship. This way, he would trust him more.
Although it was a good thing for Cao Cao that he had revealed all his talents, there had been no good ending since ancient times.
Although Cao Cao was suspicious, he could not bear to kill him. After all, he still had to pacify the world.
If they were a family in the future, then it would be different. Cao Cao would naturally be relieved to hand over the matter to him.
This was feasible.
Moreover, if he refused, it would be difficult.
Cao Cao was suspicious. If he refused, wouldn't he be admitting that he had disloyal thoughts?
If that's the case, not to mention the position of Generalissimo, I'm afraid that even my current position as Military Advisor will be taken back by Cao Cao.
Moreover, Bai Feng knew Cao Jie's background like the back of his hand.
Cao Jie was not the kind of person to be emotional. Otherwise, he would not have used the imperial seal to force Cao Pi to retreat for the sake of the world.
Therefore, he was not afraid that Cao Jie would only bring trouble to him for the sake of the Cao family.
If he could gain Boss Cao's trust and obtain a beautiful wife, why not?
Thinking of this, Bai Feng nodded and said,
"As per the Prime Minister's wishes, this one will naturally comply."
Cao Cao hurriedly waved his hand and said,
"Teacher, you're being too polite."
After a long time, Cao Cao suddenly thought of something. His expression became slightly serious and said,
"By the way, Teacher, I heard that you went to the Xun residence this morning. Is that true?"
Bai Feng nodded and said,
"Yes, I drank with General Cao Chun and Cao Ren until late into the night. Just as dawn broke, Lord Xun sent someone to look for me."
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said,
"Then why did Wenruo and Gongda suddenly fall ill? Were you already feeling unwell when you saw them yesterday? "
"No."
Bai Feng immediately denied and said,
"The two of them were normal yesterday, but they asked me a question."
The smile on Cao Cao's face immediately disappeared and he said with a serious expression,
"What was the question?"
"The two of them asked me if Prime Minister was still a Han official."
Bai Feng did not intend to hide it from Cao Cao because there was no need to.
Xun Yu and Xun You had different aspirations from Cao Cao. Since they walked different paths, there was no need to hide it.
"How did Teacher answer?"
Cao Cao asked expressionlessly.
