Xiahou Xuan was creepy.

He had the illusion that he was not facing Cao Miao, who was sometimes crazy and sometimes sober, but a fierce beast, a cunning beast.

He is the prey of the beast.

He won't ...... Xiahou Xuan thought of all kinds of rumors that were true and false, and he had goosebumps, and had a strong urge to get up and leave. He had an ominous premonition that if he continued to talk to Cao Miao, he would probably face an unpredictable abyss and no return.

But he couldn't move. The danger is like the scatter of the gods' food, with an irresistible temptation, which makes people know the danger but cannot give it up, and tries again and again.

Seeing Xiahou Xuan's face different, Cao Miao suddenly woke up. He was too deep into the play, and his expression management was out of control, which scared him.

However, Cao Miao didn't rush to explain, he just withdrew his eyes and quietly adjusted his emotions, which made Xiahou Xuan's uneasiness ferment for a while, and then asked faintly: "What did you think of just now?" ”

Xiahou Xuan wanted to say it very much, I thought of a very unbearable scene, but he couldn't say this, so he could only laugh and say: "I...... thought of ......" He suddenly had an idea, and remembered the rumors that Emperor Wu had dreamed of Cao Miao. "I thought of Emperor Wu. When I was young, I had the privilege of meeting Emperor Wu, and he looked at me like this and encouraged me to study more. ”

Cao Miao smiled secretly in her heart. It's that simple to talk to smart people, their brains are so powerful.

"Really?" Cao Miao was a little surprised. "I haven't dreamed of Emperor Wu for a long time. Could it be that he lost his mind in an instant just now, and he actually connected with the spirit of Emperor Wu? ”

"Uh-huh." Xiahou Xuan coughed twice to avoid his foul mouth and lose his sense of proportion. But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that Cao Miao didn't seem to be lying, and Cao Miao's eyes just now did have a bit of the shadow of Emperor Wu.

Xiahou Xuan hesitated for a while, and there was an indescribable emotion.

Cao Miao didn't speak, but just smiled, looking at Xiahou Xuan with a kind face.

The horse's hooves were brisk, and they galloped all the way south, and it didn't take long to come to the Luoshui pontoon bridge. Zhang Wei rented a boat and waited by the water, and was somewhat surprised to see Cao Miao and Xiahou Xuan getting out of the carriage side by side. He never imagined that Xiahou Xuan would appear with Cao Miao.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Wei bowed his hand. "Zhang Wei has seen Junhou."

Xiahou Xuan looked at Zhang Wei and praised it: "Sure enough, a strong man!" Have you ever been in the military? ”

"Gentleman Mingjian. In the next was the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion. ”

Xiahou Xuan suddenly realized, nodded, and didn't ask again. Xuanwu Marquis Zhang Quan was involved in the Wei sarcasm case and died, others didn't know the inside story, but he knew it clearly. Although his father Xiahou Shang did not participate in that incident, after all, he was Cao Pi's confidant, and later assisted Cao Pi in cleaning up the aftermath and knew the cause and effect well. Even Qingtao is Zhang Quan's daughter, he knows it earlier than others.

"Since there are strong men with me, then I won't send it. Yunliang, when you return to the city, we will talk about it. ”

"Okay." Cao Miao nodded in agreement and left another homework. "In the beginning, if you have time, you might as well think about what kind of courtier you would like to be. An inch of time is an inch of gold, you are twenty this year, it's time to make up your mind, and you can't waste any more time. When your father was so old, he had already followed Emperor Wu to fight, right? ”

Xiahou Xuan was speechless. I'm twenty, aren't you twenty? actually used the tone of an elder to teach me, I really don't know if you are crazy or stupid.

Xiahou Xuan and Cao Miao said goodbye, got into the carriage, and ordered to return to the city. Along the way, with the bumps of the carriage, his thoughts fluctuated, and he unconsciously remembered Cao Miao's words. It's time for you to make up your mind and not waste any more time. Baiyue

Am I wasting all these years?

Xiahou Xuan instinctively rejected such a conclusion, but he couldn't help but think about it. He was a weak man and a regular servant, but he knew very well that this was because of his family background, not because of his talents.

He had already heard a rumor, not only those old ministers, but even the Son of Heaven was dissatisfied with their so-called four congregations and had the heart to rectify them. In fact, since the time of Emperor Wu, the suppression of vanity has never been broken, and Kong Rong and Wei Wei have all died because of this. When today's Zi Jiwu Emperor's legacy system, it is inevitable to deliberately eliminate the accumulated shortcomings of Emperor Wen and crack down on the flashy rendezvous.

If you can't change your ways, it's almost inevitable that you'll be imprisoned.

His father died young, and if he was imprisoned again, this vein was likely to sink because of this.

Xiahou Xuan couldn't help but shiver.

——

The boat left the shore and slid towards the Luo Shui Stream.

Cao Miao and Zhang Wei sat opposite each other, only Qingtao and Zhang Meng were around, Ah Hu was talking to Han Long outside, the two boats were at the stern, everyone seemed calm, but they were vigilantly paying attention to every move around them, especially those boats.

"Have you heard about the theft of Shu Mansion?"

"I've heard about it, and I've sent someone to investigate." Zhang Wei said: "As far as we know, it was not only the Shu Mansion that was stolen, but also the Liaodong Mansion. ”

"Really?" Cao Miao was a little surprised. Liu Chen did not mention the theft of the Liaodong Mansion at all.

"This theft is very strange, and the prince should be careful not to get too involved. When we find clues, we will report to the prince. ”

"What's that weird method?"

"It is not surprising that the Zhudi has the responsibility of liaising with the temples in Beijing, and the expenses are large, so most of them are rich and wealthy, and they are easy to attract thieves. But because of this, the imperial court also paid special attention to the safety of the residences, Henan Yin and Luoyang Ling arranged people to patrol, and there were also eyeliners in various cities. Therefore, there are many people who want to enter the mansion and thieves, but there are not many people who dare to do it, and no one will publicize it in advance, so as not to be retaliated against. ”

"This time, someone publicized it in advance?"

Zhang Wei nodded, his eyes solemn. "Two days ago, I heard that there was a snitch in Jingshi, who was not only skilled in stealing, but also good at making weapons. Early this morning, I heard that Shu Di had entered the thief. ”

In an instant, Cao Miao was terrified.

Others don't know what's going on, how else can he not know? This is obviously someone trying to frame him. It seems that the opponent's counterattack is faster and more ruthless than him, which means that he will be killed and unable to turn over.

Cao Miao quickly counted the list of people who knew that he had created the flying claw in his mind, and locked on Lao Liu for the first time, and then Yin Mo. In addition to the people around him, the only people who knew that he had created flying claws were Lao Liu and Yin Mo, and Yin Mo was undoubtedly the most suspicious.

What does Yin Mo want to do, he wants to demolish the bridge before he crosses the river?

Cao Miao suppressed the anger in her heart, and said unhurriedly: "Wang Ji appeared near the sheep market two days ago, who did he have contact with?" ”
