Chapter 187: Biao Opera (Xuan Qingzhu Reward and Change)
After the dinner, Sima Yi dismissed the Sima brothers and climbed the small building with Cao Miao.
Standing upstairs, blowing the mountain breeze, looking at the stars in the night sky and the bonfire in front of the camp tent in the river valley, Sima Yi sighed faintly.
"The official journey is like this night valley, killing everywhere. If you don't raise the fire, you don't know the way forward, and you will inevitably stumble. If you raise fire, it will be coveted by all beasts and attacked at any time. Can you be careful? ”
Cao Miao was stunned for a moment, feeling that this sentence was somewhat familiar. After a while, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly. The knowledge and skills of the ancients may not be developed, but the wisdom is no less than that of later generations, especially heroes like Sima Yi.
He obviously recognized that they were in a similar situation and had the same problems to face, so he expressed the idea of summing up. As for whether it's sincere, it's hard to say. At this time and at that time, history is complex, human nature is also complex, and it is inherently inconsistent.
"Why did the Captain say that?" Cao Miao said with a grin.
After drinking a meal, coupled with the fact that the rice has been put into the pot, the wood will be in the boat, if nothing else, it is already a sure thing that Sima Yi will become his father-in-law, and the two are no longer needle-to-needle, they can be more easy-going. Since Sima Yi put on a heart-wrenching appearance, he didn't mind hearing what Sima Yi wanted to say.
"Actually, it's nothing. Li Xiaoyuan (Li Kang) Zeng Yun: The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it; Heaps out of the shore, and the flow will be turbulent; Walk above men, and the crowd will not. At that time, I only thought that the literati were moaning without illness, but now it seems that it is really insightful. ”
Sima Yi turned his head to look at Cao Miao. "Fellow countryman, with all due respect, you are not a good son-in-law, but the situation is pressing, so you have to do it."
Cao Miao tilted her head, looking dazed. "Who forced you?"
Sima Yi chuckled: "You and I both know it, so why bother?" ”
Cao Miao's expression remained unchanged. Regardless of whether Sima Yi is sincere or false, he will never be able to give Sima Yi the truth, and it is impossible in this life. Even if Sima Yi really wants to form an alliance now, there is no guarantee that he will betray him in the future.
Whether Wolf Gu is true or not, history is inconclusive. Sima Yi reversed his word and did not believe in his word, but he was famous.
Sima Yi looked left and right, indulging in the night view of the mountains, which made Cao Miao feel that he might chant a poem or two at any time. However, Sima Yi didn't recite poetry in the end, and after a long silence, he asked Cao Miao a question.
"I heard that you are proficient in martial arts, is it true?"
"Who did the captain listen to?" Cao Miao's expression remained unchanged, but his heart moved. He deliberately released the bait to show his force to Aunt Ren, just to know who the person behind Aunt Ren was. Han Long reported that he followed Aunt Ren to a manor, and saw an old man with a white beard from a distance, and later saw another carriage, and a tall man met the old man.
Because he wanted to track down the owner of the manor, Han Long didn't have time to check the identity of this person.
Could it be that this tall man is Sima Yi in front of him?
When he heard Han Long's report, Cao Miao thought of Sima Yi. After all, in this era of average height of 1.6 meters, there are not many people with a figure of more than 1.8 meters and a noble status - this can be seen from the accompanying carriages, horses and attendants.
But he didn't expect Sima Yi to take the initiative to reveal his identity. Is he habitually tricking his teammates again, or is he deliberately unleashing bait tricks?
"I can't say it with all due respect." Sima Yi smiled. "If it's inconvenient, don't force it."
Cao Miao laughed. Sima Yi is really cunning, and he has an excellent sense of proportion. He didn't say who it was, but he expressed enough jealousy. How many people can make him jealous? You can count on one hand. He didn't force him to admit it, but when it came to this, his failure to admit it was equivalent to admitting it.
"It's okay, there may still be a little distance from Jingshen." Cao Miao smiled slightly.
"The dog was injured, was it an accident?"
"It's an accident, it's not an accident."
"What's the explanation?"
Cao Miao touched her head and smiled a little shyly. "It wasn't an accident to attack him, I wanted to kill him a long time ago. I didn't fall to him, it was an accident, I didn't expect him to be so heavy, and he reacted quickly enough. ”
Sima Yi bowed his head slightly, and didn't ask anything more. Although Cao Miao's answer was vague, he felt the details of Cao Miao. Cao Miao did have some skills, but his strength was limited, and it was not enough to form an absolute advantage over Sima Shi. Otherwise, Sima Shi would not have been able to escape this catastrophe, and he would have been killed at that time.
"It seems that you have some prejudices against both my father and son." Sima Yi sighed lightly: "Fortunately, these are all in the past. Now I, like you, am a rich idler, and I don't have any hatred for life and death. This kind of thing should not happen again in the future. You and I will work together to serve the court. ”
Cao Miao exhaled, smacked his lips, and stopped talking.
This time it's not a performance, it's really helpless. He didn't believe Sima Yi, but he couldn't see Sima Yi's flaws. I met an opponent, and it was a better opponent. Looking at Sima Yi's sincere appearance, who would believe that he was lying?
Xiahou Xu definitely didn't believe it, and Cao Rong wouldn't believe it either.
Okay, it's still a long time anyway, so it's not a little bit like this.
——
Sima Yi went downstairs. Under Cao Miao's gaze, he left the village and went to camp in the river valley.
Cao Miao thought about it, and heard the sound of the stairs behind her. The visitor seemed to be a little hesitant, the footsteps were not only heavy, but also intermittent, and it seemed that he had to consider whether to go upstairs.
Cao Miao turned around and took a look, and found that Xiahou Hui was standing downstairs, with no one around him, not even a maid. She carried the lantern herself, and the light illuminated her clothes. From his point of view, the plump figure is especially clear in the dark, and the delicate skin is covered with a thin layer of sweat, exuding a moist light, like an oil painting.
Cao Miao suddenly realized that although Xiahou Hui was only eighteen years old, he was a young woman who had just given birth and was still lactating.
"Is that you?" Cao Miao frowned, a little dry.
"I ......" was discovered by Cao Miao, and Xiahou Hui was also a little embarrassed, but he still raised his head and looked at Cao Miao. …… It's me. ”
"Haven't you already got your wish, and what are you doing?" Cao Miao snorted, turned his head, and leaned on the railing, ignoring Xiahou Hui.
Seeing that Cao Miao's anger had not subsided, and she was still angry with her, Xiahou Hui sighed, walked up slowly, stood at the top of the stairs, and bowed slightly. "Fellow Citizen, I don't deny that I have always intended to promote this family affair, but today's result is ...... I didn't do it on purpose. ”
"Does it make a difference? If you have made a boat, can you still break your promise? Cao Miao suddenly turned her head, her eyes puzzled. Could it be that you are guilty of fulfilling your promise? ”
"Huh?" Xiahou Hui was slightly stunned, remembering the agreement with Cao Miao at the beginning, he was suddenly flustered and shook his hand again and again. "No, no, I'm not, don't get me wrong."
