Because he was blocked by Gong Yu, Cao Xiuge had to abandon the car and walk, Zi Rat followed him quietly, less than a kilometer away, the two walked silently, and no one spoke.

Approaching the door of the house, the sound of the mobile phone suddenly rang, Cao Xiuge stopped, picked up the mobile phone to connect, and put it to his ear.

"Prince, they're gone. ”

An emotionless voice came from the phone.

"The result?"

Cao Xiuge asked softly.

The rat also stopped, and stood behind him without saying a word, motionless, like a shadow.

"I hit her, but because Yinhu dragged her, I can't be sure if she is dead or alive. ”

Cao Xiuge was silent for a moment, unhappy or angry, and said softly: "Got it." ”

Then he hung up.

"Is it a monkey?"

The rat spoke behind him.

Cao Xiuge put down his phone and nodded slowly.

"Either way, at least for a short time, that sword horse should not be able to cause us any more trouble. ”

"Prince, did you already know that Gong Zhengyu would take the initiative to find us?"

The rat asked in a low voice.

If it weren't for the prince's prediction, Yin Hu would not have arrived in such time.

Cao Xiuge, who should have been assassinated for the first time in his life, smiled, noncommittal, and just muttered.

"Respectable righteousness. ”

Immediately, he took another step and stepped through the door.

……

"You go back to your room first, I'll go see Jinse. ”

Zirat nodded, and the two parted ways.

Cao Xiuge came to his sister's courtyard alone, paused for a moment, and pushed the door in.

Cao Jinse, the eldest lady of the Cao family, was sitting on the swing in the yard, swinging alone, her eyes were not bright, and her face was a little trance.

"Girl, why are you alone?"

Cao Xiuge approached with a gentle smile.

The sudden sound made Cao Jinse wake up from her personal world, she totoed to the ground, stopped the swing, looked at her brother who came over, and showed a smile that looked a little haggard.

"Brother. ”

The swing is not small, and it is not much of a problem to sit for two people.

Cao Xiuge, who stayed at home less and less, sat next to his sister without a fight, supported his knees with his hands, turned his head and asked with a smile: "What do you think?

Cao Jinse didn't speak, just shook his head.

Cao Xiuge touched his sister's head dotingly.

"Jinse, I'm your brother, I've watched you grow up since I was a child, do you have something on your mind, can't I see it? What's the matter? Now that I've grown up, I've begun to treat my brother as an outsider, and I don't want to talk to my brother about my heart?"

Looking at the gentle smile on his brother's face that couldn't be concealed by the night, Cao Jinse's eyes trembled slightly, and after a few seconds, he finally opened his lips slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Brother, can I ask you something?"

Cao Xiuge smiled without thinking: "Of course you can." Don't say a thing, as long as you want to know, my brother won't hide it. ”

Facing his brother's gaze, Cao Jinse was silent for a while, and asked in a trembling voice.

“…… Brother, did you cause Director Luo's death?"

Hearing this, Cao Xiuge's smile remained unchanged, but he shifted his gaze and looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

"Jinse, have you heard any rumors?"

"Brother, I never believe what others say. I'm grown up now and I have my own judgment. ”

Cao Xiuge bowed his head and chuckled: "Yes, you were very smart when you were young, and now that you have grown up, you are even smarter." ”

Looking at his brother's side face, Cao Jinse clasped his hands and hissed: "Brother, what I took from Mao Tu, I will put it on the table, you can take it at any time, I just want to ask you a question, you should know that Director Luo is a good official, he has the same ambition and beliefs as you, you should be comrades-in-arms, but ......"

Cao Jinse's eyes trembled.

"Why?"

Cao Xiuge was silent, and his smile gradually subsided, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Jin Se, this is the price of growing up." We can no longer distinguish one thing, one thing, or one person by simple good and bad, as we do when we are young. Luo Ju is a good official, and even I have always taken him as an example for me to learn, I never wanted to fight side by side with him and work hard for a common dream, but after all, things will never go as expected. ”

"Just because...... He's in your way?"

Cao Jinse tried his best to keep calm on the surface, but his tone couldn't hide the trembling after all.

Although the elder brother did not admit it directly, he did not deny it either.

She was still deceiving herself, thinking that if she was cranky, but now she was completely chilled.

Cao Xiuge shook his head.

"Jinse, brother is not as narrow as you think. From small individuals, medium to enterprises, and large to countries, it is impossible to have no opponents, and it is impossible to eliminate all opponents......"

"Then why can't you just tolerate him?!"

Cao Jinse rarely interrupted his brother's words directly, his eyes trembled, there was sadness, anger, and disappointment that could not be concealed.

Cao Xiuge didn't mind his sister's rudeness, he pondered for a moment, looked at the cool moonlight and spoke softly.

"Every great journey is inseparable from martyrs. ”

"That's your reason?Brother, what's the difference between you and those high-sounding shameful politicians now?!"

Cao Jinse's eyes were red, and tears had already appeared in his eyes.

I feel guilty for the unjust death of a good official.

I will also feel sad about the change in my eldest brother.

Cao Xiuge turned his head and looked at his sister, who was emotionally out of control.

Since childhood, this should be the first time that the two siblings have quarreled.

"Jinse, no matter how you understand it, but you must understand that on the glorious road of great rejuvenation, there are destined to be many people who will sacrifice and sacrifice, just like the martyrs in order to save our country and nation on the verge of collapse. Since I am fortunate enough to stand in this position, I will not be a corpse and ask for no fault. Even if I am not understood, I will stick to it, Luo Ju is not the first, it will not be the last, even if one day, even if I need to sacrifice, I will not retreat and regret it. ”

Cao Xiuge's voice was soft, but the words that could be spoken were sonorous, forming a thought-provoking force.

Cao Jinse's eyes were hazy with tears, biting his lip, and what his brother said just now kept echoing in his mind.

But no matter how clever she is, it will definitely be difficult to understand the deep meaning for a moment.

Cao Xiuge exhaled softly, stood up slowly with his knees propped up, and rubbed his sister's hair.

"Okay, it's late at night, go and rest, little girl, what do you want to do so much, my brother is here." ”
