Upper capital, inside the Imperial Palace.

Cao Wei sighed and carried the embroidered winter knife, walked out of the Imperial Forest Military Steward's Office, patrolled along the splendid Jinluan Palace, stretched out his feet and kicked up a Royal Forest Sergeant who was asleep standing up, and wanted to greet "Bring the whip", but Youyou sighed and walked away.

The soldier was shocked at first, sweating profusely, thinking that the whip was inevitable, although General Cao was called Cao Lao Coarse, but the army was extremely rigorous, the military order was like a mountain, and he was a person who was thick and fine, and all the soldiers who were at fault were inevitably punished, but looking at General Cao today, it seemed that he was not in a state, and then looked at the general's back, there was a trace of ...... If so, if not...... 's desolation and tragedy, could it be that he was taught a lesson by the one at home again? No, if he had sulked at home in the past, the general would have vented it in the palace, and it was really strange that there was no punishment just now.

Cao Wei shook his head as he walked, and the tigress in the house recently was not only "shaking the tiger's body", but was extremely gentle, very considerate, and tried all kinds of tenderness and Wu Nong's warm words, which was originally a good thing, but if it was added with some preludes and trivial rituals that had nothing to do with the joy of the bed, it would become terrifying.

Cao has always wanted to have a child, but she has never been, so while she asked for help from the imperial doctor in the palace, she also visited several half-immortals who were known as "five hundred years before and five hundred years later", seeking a secret recipe for obtaining a child.

The half-immortal really got the true legend of the immortals, sitting on the smoky futon, rolling his eyes and pinching his fingers, first oh, then hey, and finally hey. Cao's heart twisted and turned, and he asked nervously, "Daxian, how is it?" ”

The demi-immortal shook his head. said that Mrs. is too rich and noble, and God thinks that Mrs. has already gained wealth in the world, and she is not so good in terms of heirs. One sentence hit the heart of the Cao family, and nodded again and again, Daxian was right, I always felt that I was so lucky to meet Lao Cao. Is there a way to save Daxian? Daxian closed his eyes, and there were words in his mouth, and the smoke seemed to be a little more. Daxian was hidden in the smoke, becoming more and more mysterious, and finally slowly opened his eyes, opened his mouth and said, "It's good to break your wealth and ask for children." Wait until you are rich and less. And the heirs came! Cao Shi muttered a few times and asked, "Great Immortal, how to break the fortune?" ”

The Great Immortal Immortal smiled, and in a few words, he led the silver money in Cao's pocket to his hand. Daxian shirked it several times, but the Cao family refused to do so, and finally Daxian reluctantly stuffed a stack of silver into his sleeve and said: "Immeasurable Tianzun." The old decay has been reduced for another three years because of this filthy money, hey. O iniquity! Then he stuffed a yellow note that he had spit on to Cao: "Madame went back to flush the water and soaked it for the general to drink, and kept the Guanyin Bodhisattva sending Mrs. Zi to the belly." ”

Although the Cao family has a little doubt, this Guanyin is not the supreme of the Buddhist family, how can the immortal wearing a Taoist robe also ask for help from the Buddhist family, but this doubt is fleeting.

She reverently returned home with the yellow note, boiled it with her own hands, and as soon as Cao Wei came home, she greeted it with a smile and asked, "Are you tired, tired?" ”

Cao Wei trembled in his heart, he didn't know what was going on, and said honestly: "I drank some wine with my colleagues the day before yesterday, but I didn't tell you." He took out two silver tickets from his shoes and handed them over: "This is the private money saved, wife, I was wrong!" ”

The anger on Cao's face just spread, and immediately disappeared without a trace, holding a bowl of unique medicinal soup.

Cao Wei drank it suspiciously, the taste and style were the same, and it was also very chic, the yellow flocculent was tossed back and forth in Cao Wei's mouth a few times, and finally was forcibly swallowed by General Cao Wei, the leader of the Royal Forest Army, so majestic!

Cao smiled happily, pulled Cao Wei into the room, knelt in front of the window, facing south, the two reverently recited the "Sending the Child Sutra" a few times, and then Cao leaned on the head of the bed, smiled at Cao Wei charmingly, and beckoned. The moon rises in the east, the moon hangs on the willow tops, and the moon sinks to the west mountain, Cao Wei spent a long night in a posture that life is worse than death.

In the past, although the tigress was "fierce", Cao Wei could still straighten his waist every time he went home, majestic and high-spirited, and now as soon as he walked into the door, he first wanted to cry, and then saw the black gate, and felt that as long as he stepped in, he stepped into the aquatic and fiery purgatory.

Walking on the road to the palace, Cao Wei's broken heart was like a cloud in the sky that was constantly changing shapes, coming and going with the wind. Walking to Zhao Gan's residence, the current prison, he asked, "How is the third prince?" ”

"Tell the general, the three princes are all good." The soldier guarding Zhao Qian said.

Cao Wei nodded, reached out and put it on his waist to take out a long string of keys, and followed the instructions of the Mo family's group of godly mechanics to open the big lock in a specific order. On the same day, Zhao Gan was escorted into the cell, and the Mo family giant triumphantly opened the big lock in order in front of the third prince Zhao Gan, and Zhao Gan, who had changed his hairstyle, raised his mother's fingers: "Amazing, the locks that use the Pythagorean theorem are all made by you, and I definitely won't be able to escape." The Mo family giant smiled confidently: "Third prince, the old man's previous words still worked." ”

Each "family" has its own leader, who is noble and not subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but it cannot confront the imperial court. Although the third prince Zhao Gan was named a "ridiculous person", there were also people who favored him and looked up to him, that is, everyone in the Mo family, and the Mo family giant once asked Zhao Gan: "Do you want to take the position of the Mo family giant?" Zhao Gan didn't even raise his head and said, "I'm not interested at all." The old man of the Mo family blushed: "Ahem, the old body knows, so let the third prince think about it again." ”

Walking into the cell with four copper walls and iron walls and only one skylight, Cao Wei looked at Zhao Gan's bed, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, the three princes must be sleeping at this time, the three princes slept strangely, sleeping on their stomachs with their heads covered, motionless.

Cao Wei took out a few legendary stories from his arms, put them outside the cell where he could reach them, turned his head and left, and when he left, he inadvertently glanced at Zhao Gan.

Wrong! Cao Wei was shocked in his heart, although the sleeping posture of the third prince was weird, it was impossible for him to have no ups and downs in his breath at all, it was too quiet!

Cao Wei panicked and took out the key to the prison. Rushed to the side of the bed and lifted the quilt, except for a pillow. Nothing! The third prince, Zhao Gan, disappeared quietly in the layers of "surrounding"!

The Ministry of Industry and the Mo family jointly manufactured, and the three princes who patted their chests to His Majesty were cells that could not escape even if they had wings, plus under the supervision of no less than 100 people of the Imperial Forest Army, the three princes disappeared out of thin air.

Cao Wei sat on the bed with an incredibly helpless expression on his face, ready to shout and the whole city was on alert. Capture the third prince, but he opened his mouth and closed it again. said in his heart: "Third prince, the lower officials can only help you get here." ”

At this time, Zhao Qian was dressed in the clothes of a little eunuch and rushed through the palace. Hung behind a squad of handymen. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he jumped into the swill car, avoided layers of inspections, and escaped from the palace through the dog hole. Others thought that the three princes escaped from the palace very magically, but except for the more handsome time when he flew out of the palace on Wan'er's Birthday Festival, the remaining escapes were all unbearable.

In a quiet corner on the outskirts of the Imperial City. Meeting with Yu Gui, who was leading a horse, Zhao Qian hurriedly changed into clean clothes: "Yu Gui." Are you ready for all the things you need to prepare? ”

"Ready." Yu Gui handed over a few strange things to Zhao Gan, and stuffed a few silver tickets to Zhao Gan: "Third prince, let's go!" ”

Zhao Qian jumped on the horse, clamped the horse fiercely, and flew out like an arrow feather offline: "Yu Gui, take care of yourself, my son has gone to find Wan'er, haha!" ”

Looking at Zhao Qian, who was running away, Yu Gui wiped his tears and kept waving his arms.

Zhao Gan did not leave the capital immediately, but went to the Lin family's courtyard first, jumped off the horse, he rushed directly into the hall, Yubao, who was practicing, looked at Zhao Gan in surprise and shouted: "Brother Zhao? You're not ......."

"Don't talk yet, go and invite Xiaoxiao out!" Zhao Qian sat in the hall, exhaled a long breath, calmed down, and began to methodically assemble the few strange things that Yu Gui gave him.

After Chen Xiaoxiao and Qingzhu Niang arrived in the hall, Zhao Qian had already finished assembling it, and a strange-shaped thing was resting on the table, and he handed Chen Xiaoxiao a pill-like thing: "Xiaoxiao, swallow it!" ”

Although Chen Xiaoxiao was suspicious, he still did it, the entrance of the pill was a little salty, and the taste was extremely bad.

Seeing that Chen Xiaoxiao finished eating the pill, Zhao Qian handed Chen Xiaoxiao something like a wooden stick, and said in an unobstructive tone: "Put it on your stomach." ”

Qingzhu Niang wanted to ask, but Zhao Qian waved his hand: "Do as I say." ”

Zhao Qian turned his back and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Zhao Qian lightly pressed the circular button, and there was a flash of light in the room, and a black paper automatically came out of the machine. Gently took out the black paper, Zhao Qian blew it vigorously, then put it in the sun and looked at it, and unconsciously showed a smile on his face: "The baby is very healthy." ”

Then he sat back in his seat, pinched a needle and pricked it on Chen Xiaoxiao's finger, Chen Xiaoxiao gasped in pain, Zhao Qian ignored it, and dropped a drop of blood onto a round flat vessel, the blood instantly melted, turning into a dark blue color, and finally there were several color changes.

Zhao Qian looked at the sun outside a little anxiously, waiting for the color inside the vessel to settle: "It's a boy!" He pointed to the criss-crossing white lines on the black paper, and his finger fell on a white velvet place: "This is the baby's current condition!" ”

After speaking, he didn't say anything more, stepped out of the hall, turned over his horse, and shouted, "I'm going to find Wan'er!" As soon as he finished speaking, the man and the horse flew out together.

Yubao frowned, and muttered to himself with some doubts: "Brother Zhao said to go to find the eldest sister, why did you run to the north, shouldn't you run to the west?" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao sat in the hall, reminiscing about the words "the baby is very healthy" and "it's a boy", her face was filled with a mother-like smile, not to mention how happy and happy she was, looking at the black paper, and looking at the strange vessel, although she didn't know how the three princes saw it, but she was convinced that the three princes and Sister Wan'er were weirdos, but sometimes they were extraordinarily reliable, no matter what method the three princes used to know Baoyu's gender and condition, she firmly believed that the three princes had no malice, when they were in Lanzhou, She felt that the third prince was a good person, but there was something between her and Sister Wan'er.

Qingzhu Niang was also very curious to look left and right, and finally her eyes stayed on the black paper, and she could vaguely see the shape of a child, she was so envious, and unconsciously praised: "It's so beautiful!" ”

Zhao Gan rode a horse, and soon went out of the capital, all the way to the north, across the valley and river, across the grassland and mountains, and continued to ride the horse and gallop wildly overnight, he calculated the time and days, and fantasized about the touching picture of meeting Wan'er for the first time, it was a beautiful scene of looking at each other from afar, and was speechless and choking, the sky has no edges, the sea has no horns, and only then dare to be with the king, that scene will remain in the hearts of everyone who witnesses it, and when they are old, they can also talk to their children and grandchildren.

Within a few days, Zhao Qian had already arrived at Jiayuguan, which was the starting point of the Great Wall of the previous dynasty, and was the only place to connect the Central Plains and the grassland, just like Xueyongguan was the checkpoint between the Central Plains and Xiliang, but Jiayuguan had experienced the baptism of war, and the mottled blood stains had infected every inch of Jiayuguan. In that year, Mao Dunshan of the right tent royal court crossed the Jiayu Pass in one fell swoop, pointed directly to the capital, and signed the Weishui Alliance with His Majesty.

After many days of hard work, Zhao Qian and the horses were a little unbearable, he slowed down, stopped at Jiayuguan for a while, stood on the top of the gate, looked north, stretched out his hand to take out a piece of flatbread from his back, and sat in the city tower while gnawing, watching the endless stream of merchants coming and going under his feet.

Raised his head and took a sip of the water in the cowhide bag, and at the moment when he stuffed back the lid, Zhao Gan's hands stiffened slightly, as if he had thought of something, he gasped, his brows furrowed, and then he stretched out again, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a smile: "Nuonuo, you are lying to me." ”

He jumped off the tower, stepped on his horse, turned his horse's head, and rode resolutely to the west.

Chen Nuonuo and his party, who were continuing to walk north, stopped and stopped, and whenever the convoy stopped, Chen Nuonuo would stand on the carriage and look in the direction of Shangjing, as the days progressed, she became more and more nervous, and this tension did not last long.

As the sun set, she looked into the distance and muttered, "Are you going with your feelings again?" Why did you go to Xiliang again? I don't know what the word "again" in her sentence "went to Xiliang again" means.

That day, Chen Nuonuo's gentle little maid Xuan'er and Zero Zero, who had been smiling, seemed to see two lines of tears flowing from her face in the sunset.

(Chen Nuonuo's secret is in this word, guess what?) (To be continued......)
