Chapter 223: The End of the Road
Cao Miao warmly received Cao Zhao and toasted together to celebrate Xiahou's achievements in Guanzhong.
Compared with Xiahou Xuan's appointment as a farmer in Luoyang, Xiahou's meritorious service can boost morale even more. Cao Su will go to Yangzhou with Cao Miao, and Cao Zhao will soon go to Yangzhou with Cao Xiu, full of reverie for the future. After drinking too much, he became emotional, and he couldn't help but applaud and sing.
"Your Majesty said that although Yuan Gong is good, it is not the only one. Although Yun Liang has no military and political talents, he can win by surprise and is the first choice in the industry. Cao Zhao patted Cao Miao's shoulder, his tongue wide. His Majesty also said that if he can behead Sun Quan when he goes to Jiangdong, he will be crowned the king and idle matter. ”
"Get out!" Cao Miao smiled on her face, and she was MMP in her heart. If I don't kill Sun Quan, I will be able to inherit the king in the future, so why take such a risk. Throughout the ages, which Assassin has been able to escape in one piece? Unless you have a big sniper for me. "Even if I kill Sun Quan, I will become meat sauce, and I will be crowned the king of fart."
Cao Zhao knew that he had lost his words and regretted it, so he had to cover his face with wine and laugh. Fearing that he would say the wrong thing again, he fell on his seat and fell asleep.
Cao Miao asked Zhong Tai to send Cao Zhao to the guest room. After Zhong Tai made the arrangements, he reported back to Cao Miao. Cao Miao motioned for him to take a seat.
"Yuanping, let's have a drink."
Zhong Tai was apprehensive, and he didn't know what Cao Miao meant, so he had to pour a glass of wine and hold it in his hand. "I respect my fellow countrymen. Thank you for the grace of not killing. ”
Cao Miao smiled and touched the cup with Zhong Tai. "Yuan Ping, if I don't kill you, it doesn't mean that others won't kill you. Take care of yourself. ”
Zhong Tai's eyes flashed slightly. "I don't know who the township government refers to?"
"Don't forget, the person who instructed you to spread the rumor hasn't been found yet." Cao Miao lifted the flask and added a glass of wine to Zhong Tai. "I let you go because you're just a knife in someone else's hand. Now I am also spreading rumors through your mouth, which can be regarded as two clear. But who knows if others can let you go? ”
Zhong Tai let out a long sigh, and his mood was extremely low. He didn't know that this was a trouble, but in the uncertain situation of life and death, he couldn't take care of it at all. Now that Cao Miao let him go, he had the heart to think about other things.
I wanted to take a shortcut, but I lost my foot, lost my official, lost my money, and owed a lot of debt. With his current income, he doesn't know when he will be able to pay it off. Starting a family, marrying a wife and having children have become impossible tasks.
I can't think about these things, and when I think about them, I feel that the future is bleak, and I can't see any hope. In the dead of night, he even contemplated suicide.
Cao Miao looked at Zhong Tai quietly, tasting the wine in the cup. Zhong Tai is at the end of his rope. It's very simple to kill him, just find a reason to kill him, throw it into the mountain, and you can achieve your goal. The Son of Heaven now believes that he is the only candidate for Jiangdong in the line, and will never give up this operation because he is suspected of killing Zhong Tai.
But this is not the best option for him, which only relieves the people behind the scenes.
He wants to keep Zhong Tai so that the dark behind the scenes can't sleep peacefully. It's like a boot in a story, you never know when it's going to fall. Over time, he will always show his fox tail.
When Zhong Tai's emotions were almost brewing, Cao Miao said lightly: "Or, I'll show you a way?" ”
Zhong Tai slowly raised his head and smiled miserably. "The prince doesn't think I'm despicable, and you're willing to accept me as a guest?"
Cao Miao shook her head. "I don't accept guests, I just give you a chance to live to die. Whether you want to accept it or not, you can do it yourself, I am not reluctant. But the ugly words are ahead, whether you want to or not, I have to avenge the revenge of the infusion. He almost killed my father, and I will not let him go. ”
Jong-tae was a little confused. Cao Miao wanted to recruit him, but she clearly said that she would not let Guan Jun go. What exactly does he want to do?
But one thing is certain, whether it is unwilling or disdainful, Cao Miao has no intention of lying to him.
"What does the townsman want me to do?"
"What do you want you to do, I'll talk about it later. Let's start with what you can do. Have you ever been a co-ordinator, a tonal lawyer? ”
Zhong Tai nodded vigorously and straightened his body unconsciously.
Cao Miao was not surprised at all. When he met Jong Tae for the first time, he thought Jong Tae's voice was very nice and had a sense of rhythm. He is sensitive to sound, and he is most impressed by the voice of the person behind the scenes, which is also a professional habit.
"What kind of instrument are you good at?"
"Qin, I also know some others, but it's not as subtle as Qin."
"Is Yale familiar?"
Jong Tae smiled. "I have served in Taichang Temple for five years, and among the younger generation, I can be regarded as the leader, and I know a thing or two about all kinds of Yale."
Cao Miao also smiled. When it comes to professional issues, Zhong Tai immediately became confident, which shows that his professional quality is not bad. He will not listen to the fool of the Son of Heaven and assassinate Sun Quan, which does not mean that he cannot make relevant preparations. If Sun Quan wants to be the emperor, various ceremonies are indispensable, and a large number of professionals are needed. One of them is a musician who is well-versed in fine music, and without the right music, the ceremony cannot take place.
Zhong Tai has such professional qualities, and it should not be difficult to infiltrate Sun Quan's court musician team. Taking a step back, it is easy for scholars who are familiar with music and rhythm to gain a foothold in Koto. When literati gather, it is inevitable to play the piano and sing songs. The Metropolitan Governor of Zhou Yu is known for his ability to distinguish between songs.
Arranging Zhong Tai to Jiangdong is just an idle move, which may not be useful, but it may be of great use. It doesn't matter if you are recognized, it is normal for a child of a big clan with no future to commit a crime, lose his official position, and live in a foreign country.
The intelligence system has always cast a net on a large area and focused on cultivation.
"Think about it." Cao Miao smiled. "If you want to fight, tell me and I'll tell you the details. If you don't want to fight, just live like this for the rest of your life, or find another way, it's okay. If you have the opportunity, you will cooperate, and if you don't have the opportunity, you will forget it. ”
Zhong Tai looked at Cao Miao for a moment, nodded solemnly, made a big salute, and bowed out.
Cao Miao drank all the wine in the cup and went back to the room to rest.
Zhong Tai arranged for someone to clean up the remnants of the table, and he was busy until midnight before returning to his room to rest. He tossed and turned in bed, thinking about Cao Miao's suggestion. He didn't know what Cao Miao was going to do, but from the words of Cao Miao, Cao Zhao and others during the banquet, he knew that this was a very dangerous thing.
Do you want to go? He couldn't make a decision for a while.
The next day, Zhong Tae woke up early. Cao Zhao brought the news that Cui Lin, the captain of Si Li, and Zhong Yu, the free rider, might come today, and he had a lot to prepare. He didn't sleep well all night, and he looked haggard, so he had to ask his sister to put on some makeup for him to hide his tiredness.
Seeing Zhong Tai's appearance, Mrs. Zhong naturally asked the reason. Zhong Tai thought about it and said Cao Miao's proposal. As soon as Zhong Tai finished speaking, Mrs. Zhong's face changed and she didn't speak for a long time.
Zhong Tai was puzzled. "Sister?"
Mrs. Zhong couldn't hold back her tears and sobbed softly. "Yuanping, you have to think about it. This is a point of no return, and the township official is likely to work in the school affairs office, and he said that the opportunity should be to do school affairs. Before I arrived, I had heard that the school was recruiting. ”
Zhong Tai lowered his head and was silent for a long time.
