The Nameless of the Common Clans

Xu Shao felt panicked for no reason.

A bad omen?

Xu Shao frowned. He believed in his feeling. Today... nothing good would happen?

Somehow, he remembered that when he was in Nanyang a few years ago, someone had a sword held to his neck. That was the past he least wanted to recall, but Luoyang is the imperial capital, so no one should mess around, right?

"Come here!" Xu Shao stood up. No matter what, this feeling was not a good sign, so it was better to be careful.

"Master!" A steward came over, saluted Xu Shao, and said with a smile: "A lot of Taixue disciples have gathered outside the door. The old servant has ordered someone to record the roster. Can the master take a look at it?"

"I feel unwell today. The first-month review is cancelled. We will wait until the middle of the month. You go inform everyone and apologize to them." Xu Shao frowned.

"Master, this..." The steward was a little confused: "Yang Xiu, the son of Weiwei Yang Biao, is also here today. Is the master really missing?"

"This..." Xu Shao hesitated when he heard the words. Yang Biao was not just a guard. Nowadays, the three princes and nine ministers can be bought, and his status is naturally not what it used to be. But the Hongnong Yang family But the same fourth generation and the third prince just left people outside the door for a long time, and then thanked the guests directly. To ordinary scholars, they disappeared without seeing them. But Yang Xiu, not to mention being a prodigy, he didn't care about the Yang family's face alone. Well really whisked.

"In this way, let Mr. Yang come in first, and after finishing the evaluation, we can thank the guests behind closed doors." Xu Shao thought, he didn't want to offend the Yang family, but the sudden feeling of panic today made him feel that it would be better not to do the evaluation today. .

"Here!" The steward heard the words, agreed, and was about to call someone, but saw another steward hurried in and said to Xu Shao: "Master, something bad has happened, Cao Mengde is here again!"

"Who is it?" Xu Shaoteng, who had just sat down, stood up and said with an incredulous look on his face: "Why is he here again?"

At this moment, Xu Shao finally understood what the ominous omen was. Isn't it Cao Mengde's ominous omen? Immediately he turned around and left, saying: "Tell the public that he is sick and tell Mr. Yang that today I was scheduled to evaluate him, but I suddenly felt cold and cold. There may be some inaccuracies in my appearance at this time. I will try to see him another day."

"Where are you going, Mr. Xu?" Before Xu Shao could enter the back hall, Cao Cao's hearty voice came from the door, and Xu Shao's progress suddenly froze.

"Meng De? Why are you here?" Xu Shao turned around and automatically ignored Chen Mo who was standing next to Cao Cao. He gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Back then, I already made a comment for you."

"Of course I remember." Cao Cao nodded and said, "But today Cao Cao is not here for himself, but for the reputation of my good brother Xu Gong, who has been here for a long time. He came here to pay a special visit today. The rules of this month's review have not changed, right?"

Xu Shao fell silent. It seemed that the rules of the Yuedan Review should be changed.

His eyes finally fell on Chen Mo's face, he straightened his clothes and said, "Of course not, but this young man is quite unfamiliar. I wonder which family he is from?"

"Xia Qiu, Chen Mo, I have met Mr. Xu." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Ha~" Seeing that Chen Mo was polite and not as vulgar as Cao Cao, Xu Shao felt a lot more relaxed: "Xia Qiu? I have heard of the Chen family in Huaipu, and I had met Han Yugong several times back then, but Xia Qiu Qiu Chen has never heard of it?”

"You will hear about it later." Chen Mo said with a smile: "My grandfather Chen Qiongong is the younger brother of Chen Qiugong, but his reputation is not obvious."

"I just became a young boy not long ago." Cao Cao added.

"Oh, bastard?" Although Xu Shao still had a smile on his face, he was obviously a lot more arrogant: "Young man, there are rules for Yuedan Criticism, and Xu will not make comments for others easily."

"Junior knows." Chen Mo said, taking off the Chengyuan Sword from his waist and slowly pulling it out.

As the sword was unsheathed, Chen Mo's expression gradually became serious, and a ferocious aura emerged spontaneously, and the entire hall seemed to feel a lot colder.

"Young man, don't do this nonsense!" Xu Shao was startled by Chen Mo and couldn't understand how a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old boy could have such evil energy in his body.

"This sword is named Chengyuan. It was a gift from my master Zang Hong. Although it is not a famous sword, it was used to kill Hu bandits on the border." Chen Mo looked at the sword with a hint of indifference in his voice.

"So what?" Xu Shao took two steps back and said calmly. Although Zang Hong is a famous scholar, he is only a county magistrate. Not to mention his disciples, even if Zang Hong comes in person, Xu Shao will not take it seriously. Go and see.

"The younger generation was born in a poor family. In the first year of Zhongping, rebels and thieves of the Taiping Sect were everywhere. At that time, Mo was only ten years old. He killed no less than ten Yellow Turban thieves among them. Later, he was fortunate enough to be taken in by his master. His master said that I was too violent. Although he was given a stabbing sword, he clearly ordered that the sword should not be withdrawn lightly. "Chen Mo raised his head, coldly. He looked at Xu Shao with sharp eyes: "Before coming here, Brother Meng De has fully informed me of the rules of Yuedan Criticism. Although I don't know why Mr. Xu established this rule, Mr. Xu is a famous person in the world, and his thoughts must be different from those of ordinary people like us. Sword My name is Chengyuan, does Xu Gong really want this sword to be stained with blood today?"

"This..." Xu Shao swallowed. He finally understood. This young man was deceived by Cao Mengde. When did Yuedan Ping have the rule of using a knife?

Cao Cao stood with his arms crossed and looked at Xu Shao's embarrassment. The smile on his face was a little gloating. At the same time, he was speechless at Chen Mo's words. He didn't say that just now. This little brother looked at him as a gentleman, but his bones were slippery. Cruel.

However, at this point, Cao Cao did not mind helping Chen Mo, and said leisurely: "Mr. Xu, be careful. My brother is an outstanding martial artist. He once led ten guards to wipe out hundreds of bandits. His archery and swordsmanship are very powerful. Don't look at his young age. He is quite decisive when killing people. Don't get hurt by mistake."

"Cao Mengde!" Xu Shao wanted to vomit blood after hearing this. At the same time, he was also sure that this young man had outstanding martial arts, but his brain must not be working well, otherwise how could he be deceived by Cao Cao so easily.

He was not afraid of smart people, but this fool. If he really took all this as a test and insisted on his own opinion no matter what he said...

"Not bad!" After a moment, Xu Shao nodded with satisfaction and looked at Chen Mo with admiration: "You are brave and determined. Although you are young, you will definitely become a great general of the Han Dynasty. It is rare. I will take a look at you today. Young man, put away your sword and come forward."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Chen Mo's sword and knelt down with a serious face.

Chen Mo smiled slightly when he heard this, turned his head and looked at Cao Cao, and could see the smile in each other's eyes.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Chen Mo put away his sword, handed it to Cao Cao, and then came to Xu Shao and knelt down.

"Looking at your face, your eyes are deep and bright, and your demeanor is smart. You don't look like a stupid person." Xu Shao looked at Chen Mo's face carefully and suddenly frowned.

"Mo followed his teacher to study when he was ten years old. Although he is not as smart as the emperor, it would be a bit too much to say that he is stupid." Chen Mo smiled and shook his head when he heard this, saying, "Why do you say that, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Shao understood that he was fooled by this kid and Cao Cao. If he had been tougher just now, this unlucky kid would not have the courage to do it. However, the evil spirit on this kid was too strong just now, and he came with Cao Cao, so Xu Shao was deceived.

"Mr. Xu?" Cao Cao looked at Xu Shao and called.

"Oh~oh!" Xu Shao reacted and looked at Chen Mo's face carefully. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Not bad, not bad."

"How is it not bad?" Chen Mo became interested.

Xu Shao looked at Chen Mo, then at Cao Cao, and said, "This kid's fate is quite similar to Meng De. He is a capable official in peacetime and a hero in troubled times."

It sounds good.

Chen Mo touched his chin, looked at Xu Shao, and then at Cao Cao. He didn't quite understand what Xu Shao was selling.
