In order to avoid suspicion, Cao Miao, Cao Su, and Xiahou Hui did not get off the boat.

Cao Su and Xiahou Hui sometimes accompanied Sun Luban, and sometimes sat together and talked. Cao Su is an idle person, either competing with Ah Hu or the troublesome soldiers, or teasing the female guards around Sun Luban.

Many people will regard him as a reckless man who doesn't know emotions because of his martial arts, but they forget that he was originally a wandering gentleman, and he talked very slippery, often making those female guards who were just in love excited and shy, and they were unconsciously taken by him.

With this flirtatious little bull as a foil, Cao Miao is simply guarded.

Sitting in the cabin, Cao Miao held her cheeks, looked at the chess game in front of her, and meditated. In terms of Go, he is really not Xiahou Hui's opponent. Xiahou Hui let him have three sons, and he couldn't support the middle game.

"The heart wants to be quiet, and the mind wants to be secret." Xiahou Hui pinched the chess pieces and lightly tapped the table. "The chess game is like a battle game, and only by having the overall situation in mind can we seek victory or defeat. You can't just stare at the chess pieces in front of you and think about it. ”

"I throw in the towel." Cao Miao was taught a lesson by Xiahou Hui and lost his temper, so he raised his hand and prepared to wipe the chess pieces.

"Nope." Xiahou Hui hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Cao Miao's wrist. "On the battlefield, can you also throw a son and admit defeat?"

Cao Miao looked at Xiahou Hui's snow-white fingers, and said angrily: "Let go, my name is indecent." ”

Xiahou Hui pursed his lips. "Your name, do you want to untie your clothes and call again? You can say it. ”

"If you want to say that, then you're welcome." Cao Miao said, reaching out to untie the belt. As soon as his hand touched the belt of his clothes, Xiahou Hui, who was annoyed and angry, flicked his fingers, and a snow-white chess piece accurately hit his eyebrows. Cao Miao was in pain and stretched out her hand to cover her eyebrows. "Be careful, you blinded me, what compensation do you pay?"

"It's good to be really blind." Xiahou Hui bit his lip lightly and turned the chessboard in a different direction as he spoke. "Lest thou see one and love another."

"Don't talk nonsense." Cao Miao rubbed her eyebrows and looked at the chess game. This is already a routine, but whenever he is frustrated in the middle game, and Xiahou Hui does not let him admit defeat, he will exchange chess games. If the opportunity is good, he can hold on until the end and win occasionally. "I sometimes see one who loves two."

"Isn't it, when I saw my niece, I fell in love with my aunt." Xiahou Hui couldn't help but laugh and said in a low voice.

Cao Miao said seriously: "Yes, sometimes I met my sister-in-law and fell in love with my sister-in-law. Sometimes I met my sister and fell in love with my sister. Affectionate should laugh at me, early birth. ”

"Get out!" Xiahou Hui drank and muttered something in a low voice, but Cao Miao didn't hear it clearly, nor did he ask, knowing that he couldn't ask it, and he would only be ridiculed by Xiahou Hui for a few words.

Being able to make a few jokes is already a lot of progress.

The two made a few more moves. Xiahou Hui said in a low voice: "The division of troops is imminent, do you have anything else to explain?" ”

Cao Miao was silent for a moment, put down the chess pieces, and looked up at Xiahou Hui. "There's one thing I haven't thought about."

"What's the matter?"

"There's nothing wrong with killing Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's sons, but what if it's a grandson? Especially newborn babies who don't understand anything, can you do it? For example, do you think of your own children? ”

Xiahou Hui lowered his eyelids and was silent.

"So I thought, maybe I should look for a few ordinary people who can raise children. If the children are really caught, they will be given to raise them, so that these children can grow up like ordinary people. ”

Xiahou Hui pondered for a moment. "In a hurry, how can you find the right person. People are selfish, and even if they accept it, they may not be able to give it sincerely, and they will be used as slaves and maids to raise them, and at worst they will be used for profit like livestock. ”

"That's what worries me as well. If you encounter a vicious person and let them suffer the hardships of life, it is better to be ruthless and kill them with a knife. ”

Xiahou Hui sighed and threw the chess pieces on the chessboard, which was noisy and soft.

"That's really a sin, no matter how many good deeds you do in the future, it will be difficult to make up for it."

——

Zhou Yi walked slowly up the hill along the narrow path and looked around.

The small harbour has a panoramic view.

————

It is a natural harbour with few buildings nearby, only scattered thatched huts. The only thing that could be provided was fresh water, and some food provided by the people in the vicinity. There is very little food, and the price is naturally high, but fortunately, the goods on board are also what the people are eager for, and bartering is acceptable.

It is clear that there are no conditions for a garrison here, and there are no signs of a garrison.

Zhou Yi turned his gaze to the foot of the mountain. He was sure that there must be Cao Miao's people among those people, and all he had to do was to find these people.

He had just walked around the hill and found no suspicious person. Those people had dark faces, rough hands and feet, and strange accents, and they looked like locals who had worked hard all year round, and could not even speak official language.

The person who joins the joint must be nearby.

As long as he looks at who Cao Su's subordinates come into contact with, he can follow the vine, find those people, get rid of those people, and cut off Cao Su's back road.

He never believed in cooperation, it was just taking advantage of each other. Whoever has the initiative will be able to take advantage of others, not be taken advantage of.

Just as Zhou Yi was looking around, a whistle sounded in the distance. He turned his head to look and saw a faint figure in the weeds about ten paces away, a little cold light. His heart tightened, and he was secretly ashamed. The other party was lurking nearby, but he never noticed. If the opponent is an enemy, he has already been shot.

Zhou Yi subconsciously pressed the knife with his left hand, and at the same time turned sideways to reduce the chance of being shot by the opponent as much as possible. "Dare to ask who is here?"

"Friend or foe. However, if the lieutenant's subordinates got closer, they couldn't tell. ”

Zhou Yi frowned slightly. "Do you know who I am?"

"The one-armed captain is the only Zhou Jun in the world."

Zhou Yi reluctantly let go of the handle of the knife and raised his hand to signal, not only to show the other party that he had no intention of being an enemy, but also to signal his subordinates not to approach again, so as not to have unnecessary conflicts.

"Whoosh!" The wind rose, and a crossbow arrow shot out and nailed it to a large tree a few paces away from Zhou Doi.

Zhou Yi glanced at it with his peripheral vision, saw that there was something tied to the crossbow arrow, and knew that it was for himself, so he slowly walked over, flicked his sleeves, and wrapped two layers in his hand before holding the shaft of the arrow. The arrow shot very deeply, and it took him some strength to pull it out, and he secretly estimated that the crossbow used by the other party should be a six-stone crossbow, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

The other party is not an ordinary person, he should be a shooter in the army. Even if there is no formed Wei army nearby, there are small detachments of the Wei army, just like Cao Su's subordinates. No wonder Cao Miao is so sure, he originally had an arrangement.

Zhou Yi laboriously untied the rope, opened the piece of paper wrapped in the crossbow arrow, and looked at it, looking a little embarrassed.

There are five words written on the piece of paper: People cannot stand without faith.
