Xiahou Hui was embarrassed, it was obvious that she had been deceived by Sima Shi.

She always thought that Sima Shi was enduring humiliation, and she had pity for Sima Shi, thinking about how to open her mouth to ask Cao Miao for the sword technique to ward off evil spirits, but she never thought that Sima Shi had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and actually took the school officials to carry out a secret mission to cause Cao Miao to die.

Sima Shi is ranked among the four congs, is the leader of the scholars, and has always been disdainful of school officials. How could he do that?

For such an important operation, there was no rumor in advance, and there was only one explanation: Sima Shi didn't trust her at all.

Xiahou Hui couldn't tell what mood he was in, he only felt that his legs were weak, so he had to reach out to support the maid on the side to avoid falling.

Sima Shi sighed and said lightly: "Yun Liang is falsely praised, and I dare not be ashamed." I'm just doing what I'm doing. Originally, I was just prepared, but at this point, I can only do my best, and hope that it will be fulfilled. Right and wrong, Your Majesty has his own judgment, and there is no need for me to put my beak. ”

Cao Miao looked at Sima Shi with a smile. "Does Your Majesty want me to go back, or will you take my life?"

Sima Shi was helpless. Although the Son of Heaven did not say it explicitly, he understood what the Son of Heaven meant, and whether Cao Miao wanted it or not, he would take Cao Miao back to Luoyang. If necessary—or at best—only Cao Miao's head was brought back to Luoyang. Of course, he knew that this was not an easy task, Cao Miao was strong in martial arts, and he was protected by the Wu people, it was not an easy task to kill him, he could only act at the opportunity, so he had not made a noise.

He never expected that Cao Miao would get straight to the point and directly find out the truth.

If he dared to say that the Son of Heaven wanted to take Cao Miao's life, would Cao Su and Xiahou Hui agree?

If Cao Su is in a hurry, will he kill them all here and blame the Wu people?

Looking at the mountains covered with green bamboos around and the rushing rivers on the side, Sima Shi made a wise choice. "You are a clan, and it is understandable that you have mistaken rumors and are suspicious. As long as you are willing to go back to Luoyang with me and clarify the misunderstanding, you will naturally have no worries about your life, so why bother to meet each other. ”

"Is there an edict?" Cao Miao smiled even brighter. "How do I know if you didn't stabilize me first, and then take my life halfway?"

"There is no edict, Your Majesty's dictation." Sima Shi looked at the school clerk again. "As for whether they have other tasks, I don't know."

Cao Miao and Cao Su turned their gaze to the leading school lieutenant at the same time.

The captain of the school was startled, and he wanted to dig up Sima Shi's ancestral grave. Doesn't that push them into the pit of fire? Just a few dozen of them, if they really fight, they are definitely not Cao Su's opponents.

He hurriedly bowed down and said, "We have no other task to assist the envoy by edict. ”

Sima Shi didn't even look at the school affairs captain, and looked at Cao Miao with a smile. "Would you like to go back to Luoyang?"

"Do I have a choice?" Cao Miao looked around. "I just doubt you'll ever get out of Koto alive. You also said just now, I am going to be Princess Shang soon, then you should know the princess's temper, the word big tiger is not called in vain, and the strength of the trouble-relieving camp is clearer than me. ”

Cao Su hurriedly nodded in agreement. "Although Mrs. Sun and Princess Sun are women, they are well-trained, and their trouble-relieving battalions are not weaker than my subordinates."

Cao Miao glanced at Xiahou Hui with a light smile. "Although I am useless, there are still people who care about my life and death."

Xiahou Hui felt uncomfortable in his heart, turned his face, and avoided Cao Miao's eyes.

At this moment, her heart was full of guilt. If she hadn't followed, Cao Su would not have been able to accompany her to protect her, and Sima Shi might not have had the opportunity to meet Cao Miao. With these few school officials, it is almost an impossible task to rob Cao Miao from the Wu people.

Cao Miao rushed here, there was only one possibility, not to let Cao Su meet with the Wu people. Cao Su has been active in Wuchang for so long, and the Wu people have long wanted to arrest him. If I knew he was here, I wouldn't let him go alive.

For this reason, he would rather face the abyss of the unpredictable and return to Luoyang with Sima Shi.

Sima Shi was also a little hesitant. Along the way, he has seen the hardships of the journey. Once the Wu people blocked the post road, they could only take the road and go all the way out of Jiangdong, which was unrealistic no matter how you looked at it.

Nearly 3,000 miles, where is the supply?

Will you get lost when you go over the mountains?

Not to mention the Yangtze River. Once the Wu people blockaded the Yangtze River, they simply could not cross the river safely.

No matter how you think about it, there is death and no life.

Sima Shi was very bald. He thought about it all the way, but he was afraid that he would encounter this situation, but he encountered it, and in front of Xiahou Hui and Cao Su, he didn't even have a little room for maneuver.

It's come to this, and it's useless to think about it. Sima Shi quickly weighed it and looked at Cao Su with a sincere expression. "Desi, Yunliang is extremely worried. Now the plan can only be divided into two ways, you protect Yunliang one step ahead, and I will continue to move forward, hoping to drag Princess Sun and buy you some time. ”

Cao Su refused. "I am entrusted by Yuanrong to protect her safety. It is your task to take Yunliang back to Luoyang, not mine. ”

Sima Shi was in the middle of it, and replied, "Then let Yuanrong go with you." ”

Xiahou Hui looked at Sima Shi in amazement, unable to believe that Sima Shi would say such a thing.

Sima Shi sighed. "Yuanrong, don't think about it. Things are urgent, and my sister-in-law still helps, not to mention that you are cousins? I'm a wreck anyway, and it doesn't matter if I'm alive or dead. If I can buy you some time, it's worth it. ”

Sima Shi said it earnestly, and people couldn't help but believe it. Especially Xiahou Hui, when he heard the word waste, his heart softened.

Cao Su also had nothing to say. This seems to be the only way to go.

Cao Miao looked at Sima Shi with a smile and secretly admired.

If you want to say insidious, it is still Sima Shiji. He seemed to be risking his life and dealing with the Wu people, but in fact, he put the greatest responsibility on Cao Su. A school official testified that if there was any accident in the future, the Son of Heaven could not blame him, but wanted to reward him for his bravery.

As for his own safety, from the moment he accepted the edict and left Luoyang, he was no longer in consideration.

Seeking wealth and danger, whether their father and son can reappear in the rivers and lakes may be at this step.

Risking his own life as a vote is ruthless enough.

But how could he let Sima Shi get his wish?

"Bang bang." Cao Miao applauded. "Ziyuan is resourceful and decisive, which is admirable. I want to come here and go once, and I can get out of it all at once. In that case, then I'll ask you one more thing, how about it? ”

"Yunliang has won the award. I don't know what kind of thing it is? ”

"Your Majesty once had an edict ordering me to capture Yuan Song back to Luoyang, or kill him directly. It's just that I haven't found a chance to do it, and now I'm going back to Luoyang, can you help me do it? ”

Sima Shi pondered for a moment and nodded. "If I get away with it, I'll give it a try."

He turned his head to look at Xiahou Hui again, with an apologetic expression. "Yuanrong, you are very smart, don't let you shave your eyebrows. It is my honor to marry you. It's a pity that I can't accompany you in vain. If there is misfortune, you don't have to blame yourself, after the mourning period expires, you can choose another beloved, don't delay yourself, otherwise I will be uneasy under the nine springs. ”
