Sima Shi was as disgusting as eating a fly.

Xiahou Hui had just come back alone, and it was likely that he had met Cao Miao in private, but he was already very uncomfortable without telling him what he had said. At this moment, he asked Xiahou Hui to see Cao Miao again, and he also brought his sister, what is the difference between this and sacrificing his wife to survive?

Sima Shi really wanted to ask Sima Yi, is it worth it?

But he didn't dare.

He was a fledgling in his career, and in any aspect, he could not compare with his scheming father. Without his father's protection, he was nothing, and even his horsemen were deprived of his military power by his father.

He also knew what military power meant to Sima Yi and to Sima in Hanoi. With military power in hand, they are the objects that other families rely on. Having lost their military power, they are inconspicuous second-class families.

"Whoa." Sima Shi suppressed his anger and responded.

Sima Yi didn't speak, but he was very satisfied. At least on the surface, Sima Shi's mood was still stable, and he did not lose his temper due to humiliation. At such an age, it is not easy to do this. Sima Shi is excellent, no less than the young man in the villa.

Sima Yi pointed to the surrounding terrain, tested Sima Shi and Sima Zhao's art of war, and arranged tasks by the way.

After a while, Xiahou Hui walked out of Sima Guo's tent and walked towards Sima Shi's tent. Sima Yi made a look, Sima Shi immediately got up, followed Xiahou Hui into the tent, hugged Sima Shi from behind, lowered his head, and sniffed Xiahou Hui's hair.

"Yuanrong, I've wronged you."

Xiahou Hui stood quietly, bowing his head, revealing his slender neck, but he quietly opened the distance from Sima Shi. "Since I am married to you, I am the daughter-in-law of the Sima family. It is my duty to do my best for Sima's family. ”

Sima Shi walked to the edge of the couch and sat down, caressing his knees, with unspeakable resentment in his heart. He also reads history and scriptures, and wants to be an upright gentleman, but in the end, for the survival of the family, he can only be a despicable and dirty villain.

"I'm going to have to work hard for you."

Xiahou Hui looked at Sima Shi in surprise. It was getting late, Sima Guo's mood was stable, and he promised to see Cao Miao tomorrow, what else was going on?

"There are bandits nearby, there are quite a few of them, the purpose is unknown, and conflicts are inevitable. Ah Weng plans to let you take your mother and Guoguo, as well as those from the sisters, to the village to seek shelter for a while, so as not to be harmed. ”

Xiahou Hui was also taken aback, but not surprised. Although it is Gyeonggi, it has never been peaceful, and it is not impossible for bandits to appear. The villa is being renovated, and it is normal for their family to fall into the eyes of some people and attract bandits.

Sima Yi has been using soldiers for many years, and the guards around him are all elites who have been trained in war, so it will definitely not be a problem to deal with a few bandits. It's just that there are more female dependents, and a part of the force may have to be set aside to protect them. If they enter the village to take refuge temporarily, it will naturally be a good thing to relieve Sima Yi's worries.

Xiahou Hui didn't say much, immediately responded, and turned around to discuss with Zhang Chunhua and Sima Guo.

Sima Shi sat still, his eyes gloomy.

——

Cao Miao had just finished exercising, and was bathing and playing with Zhishu and Picturesque.

Hearing that Xiahou Hui went and returned, saying that there were bandits nearby and that there might be conflicts, he knew that it was not good.

Cao Su hadn't made a move yet, and he had already alarmed the old fox Sima Yi. Needless to say, it must have been Sima Yi who left a secret sentry outside the mountain. As soon as Cao Su arrived, he immediately alarmed them. Sima Yi was also very decisive and sent Sima Guo directly to the village. Before the battle began, Cao Su's goal was defeated.

The difference in strength between the two sides is a bit big.

Cao Miao put her arms on the edge of the bath, and massaged her arms by Zhishu and Picturesque, but she was thinking about how to deal with it. It will definitely be too late to send someone to inform Cao Su to retreat now, and maybe he will be caught by Sima Yi. Besides, there is no need, if you really want to fight, it is Cao Su who is unlucky, and it is Cao Xiu who is disgraced, not him.

In that case, why don't I sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and see how Cao Xiu will clean up the mess when the time comes.

Thinking of Cao Xiu, Cao Miao couldn't help but sigh. In terms of ability, courage, and determination, Cao Xiu is really inferior to others, if it weren't for his bloodline, he would not have become a great Sima at all. If he is Sima Yi, he will also see Cao Xiu unhappy.

Cao Miao agreed to Zhang Chunhua and the others' request to stay in the village, but there were not enough rooms for them, so they could only be wronged to squeeze in. He doesn't need to come forward in person for such a thing, he has Xiahou Xu to handle it.

Xiahou Xu also dealt with this matter for the first time, and he didn't prepare in advance, so he was overwhelmed. Especially when he was worried about Cao Su, he wanted to send someone to inform Cao Su, but he couldn't get out. He wanted to discuss with Cao Miao, but Cao Miao slept and didn't see him at all.

Xiahou Xu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, his hands were in a hurry, and the sweat on his head was layer after layer, and he couldn't wipe it clean.

In desperation, Xiahou Hui took the initiative to take on the coordination work. She arranged Zhang Chunhua and Sima Guo in the courtyard of Princess Deyang, and asked Xiahou Yan to come forward to find Qingtao, hoping to arrange the daughters of the Sima family who came with her in the residence of Qingtao, Hongxing and others. As for Qingtao, Hongxing and others, they were asked to squeeze in Cao Miao's room. Anyway, they are all Cao Miao's concubines and maidservants, and there is nothing to avoid.

The matter involved Cao Miao himself, Qingtao did not dare to call the shots, and came to ask Cao Miao for advice.

Cao Miao refused. No, I'm so dreaming of killing. Qingtao and the others are either the maidservants who have been waiting for me since they were children, or the orchids I bought with a lot of money, and killing any of them is a loss. You just squeeze in the outer courtyard, anyway, it's just one night, and the patience will pass.

There are also rooms in the outer courtyard, mainly for guards, slaves, and miscellaneous servants, and the conditions are definitely not as good as Qingtao and others. Although the women of the Sima clan who came with Sima Yi were not Sima Yi's daughters, their identities were not much worse than Sima Guo, and it was already a grievance to let them borrow the rooms of Qingtao, Hongxing and others, and it was obviously inappropriate to live in people's rooms, especially men's rooms.

What's more, Cao Miao's reason for "killing people in a dream" is really speechless.

Xiahou Hui was furious and personally came to Cao Miao to theorize.

Cao Miao and Zhishu and Ruhua finished bathing, just put on their clothes and prepared to sleep, but they didn't expect Xiahou Hui to break in. Hearing Xiahou Xu's desperate exclamation outside, Cao Miao was stunned for a moment, and he also had time to cover his clothes and block the vital parts.

"What do you want?" Cao Miao looked at Xiahou Hui with a frightened expression.

Looking at the disheveled Cao Miao, and the crimson and coquettish Hu Ji, Xiahou Hui also felt that he was too reckless. Breaking into the inner room at night, no matter what the reason, is against etiquette, and it will inevitably be ridiculed when it is passed out. It's just that she has reached this point, and it won't help to withdraw again, she can only bite the bullet and bow slightly.

"Xianggong, Taiwei is the head of the three princes, and the Sima clan is also a big clan in Wen County, and all the women have not left the cabinet, so it is too much for them to live in the rooms of slaves and miscellaneous servants. spread out, but I am afraid that it will hinder the reputation of the township. ”

Cao Miao smiled dumbly. "You're overthinking. I don't have such a thing as fame. ”
