Early the next morning, Cao Zhi rushed to visit.

Cao Miao was very calm, except that her eyes were no longer dull, she was no different from usual.

Cao Miao didn't know anything about what happened last night. He was so tired yesterday that he slept until dawn and didn't know anything.

With Ah Hu echoing from the side, Cao Zhi didn't think much about it, and let out a long breath. He told Cao Miao that the guards on duty had spotted the thieves the night before, and that the thieves had passed by the courtyard, and he was worried that Cao Miao had been affected. Since it's okay, of course it's the best.

Cao Miao listened quietly, took out the jade seal buttons and seal characters drawn last night, and asked Cao Zhi if he could identify them.

Cao Zhi was surprised. "Where did this come from?"

Cao Miao's face does not change color. "Dreamed."

"I guess so." Cao Zhi didn't think much about it, and looked down. He looked at it repeatedly for a while and said, "It's like a bird button, I can't tell what kind of bird it is." I don't recognize all these words. If I can, can I take it with me and ask ...... for advice? ”

Cao Zhi deliberately delayed for a moment, looking at Cao Miao with hopeful eyes.

Cao Miao nodded silently. He knew what Cao Zhi wanted to say. In terms of learning, the best knowledge in this palace is naturally Cao Zhi, followed by Cao Zhi himself. Cao Zhi is very smart, he has studied with Cao Zhi for a few years, and he has already read the scriptures roughly, and his poems are also written well.

Cao Zhi couldn't help but be overjoyed and took the paper and went.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Miao asked Ah Hu to go and see Han Dong. Ah Hu is Han Dong's informant, it is very convenient for him to go to see Han Dong, and if such a big thing happens, he should also show it and report the situation to Han Dong, so as not to make Han Dong suspicious.

Not long after Ah Hu went, Cao Zhi came back with a somewhat strange expression. He looked at Cao Miao for a long time before he said with a solemn expression: "Brother, are these words all your dreams?" ”

"What's wrong?" Cao Miao asked silently.

"The words are legible, but they don't know their meaning, and they can't be connected together." Cao Zhi pointed to the four characters that Cao Miao had drawn from the jade seal. "But these four words are associated with this bird button, and it may be related to one thing."

"What's that?"

Cao Zhi hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickered, he turned his head to look, got up and walked to the door of the study, called Qingtao, and told her to guard the door of the hospital, not to let outsiders come in casually, even if they and Ah Hu did not approach the study. Qing Tao answered, took a broom, and went to the court to clean.

Cao Zhi returned to the bookcase and lowered his voice. "Does Brother have an impression of the Jade Owl Seal?"

"Jade Owl Seal? Not at all. Cao Miao shook her head. He was really not impressed, not at all.

"The jade seal is the seal used to direct the school affairs, and its original name is the school seal, because it is called the jade seal or the seal of the sword."

"Something to do with school affairs?"

Cao Zhi nodded, a hint of uneasiness flashing in his eyes. "The school affairs were created by Emperor Wu, not Zhu Cao, and were commanded by the captain of the Fu Army appointed by Emperor Wu, and all the edicts were issued with that jade seal."

"So powerful?" Cao Miao's heart moved, but his face was silent.

"These four words are the four words engraved on the jade owl seal: all the things of the head school." Cao Zhi pointed to the four seal characters, raised the ornament again, and then said: "This is the owl button on the jade owl seal." It is clear in yin and yang, day and night, and feeds on snakes and rats, which is in line with the original intention of the establishment of the school. ”

Cao Miao lowered her head, looked at the ornaments and words on the paper, and thought for a moment. "How many such jade seals are there, and in whose hands?"

"There is only one jade owl seal. When Emperor Wu was alive, most of this jade seal was in the hands of Emperor Wu, and when he went out to fight, he handed it over to the people who supervised the country. In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Emperor Wu went east to conquer Sun Quan, and his father ......" Cao Zhi paused for a moment, his expression was slightly uneasy, and he saw that Cao Miao's expression was the same, so he continued: "My father was ordered to supervise the country at that time, stayed in Yecheng, and held this seal. ”

Cao Miao frowned slightly. "So, this jade seal should be in the emperor's hands?"

Cao Zhi shook his head. "This jade owl seal is missing."

"Missing?" Cao Miao was surprised and exclaimed.

Cao Zhi nodded.

Cao Miao thought for a while, and then asked, "How did he know that he was missing?" Maybe Emperor Wu gave it to someone else, like Emperor Wen. ”

"This is what Emperor Wen said himself. Father, like you, always thought that Emperor Wu had passed the Jade Owl Seal to Emperor Wen. It wasn't until the year before last that Emperor Wen went east to conquer the class, passed through Yongqiu, and asked his father for the jade seal, and then he knew that the jade seal had long been missing. Emperor Wen has never seen this seal since he was made the crown prince, and he has always thought that Emperor Wu passed it on to his father. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Cao Miao was dumbfounded.

"I was with me at the time, and I heard it with my own ears."

Cao Miao was disappointed. He originally suspected that the person last night was Cao Zhi. Now it seems that he is thinking too much.

Who is that man? Why is the school secretary jade seal in his hands? Why did he give me the school secretary's jade owl, and what was his purpose?

Cao Miao was like falling into the fog, her mind was a mess, and she couldn't figure it out.

"Brother, you ...... Can you go and see your father? ”

"What to do?" Cao Miao made a gloomy face, but he didn't go crazy, he just kept his expression on the verge of going crazy.

Cao Zhi became nervous and stammered: "After all, I am young, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in the message, if my father can listen to you and talk about the dream, he may be able to guess more information." ”

"Nothing to see." Cao Miao said lightly, crumpling the paper on the case.

Seeing this, Cao Zhi didn't dare to say anything more, sat for a while, and then got up to leave.

"Yun Gong, wait." Cao Miao stopped Cao Zhi. "Can you help me get a strong crossbow?"

"What are you going to do with a crossbow?"

"Last night's thieves are coming, do you know if they will come in the future? I'm going to get a strong crossbow to defend myself. ”

Cao Zhi responded, arched his hand, and turned to leave.

Cao Miao held the jade seal in his sleeve, thinking back to what happened last night, especially the figure that flashed by.

Of course he wanted to see Cao Zhi. Not only did he have to confirm whether the person last night was Cao Zhi, but he also had more things to discuss with Cao Zhi. But he can't go right away, or it's easy to get suspicious. "He" has hated Cao Zhi for so many years because of the death of his mother, Mrs. Cui, and suddenly became close, which inevitably aroused suspicion, and even Cao Zhi himself would find it strange.

This must not be rushed, it must be done slowly.

Acting in her previous life, Cao Miao experienced unscripted performances, and while she was deeply tortured, she also benefited a lot.

An unscripted performance is not actually without a script, it's just that the script is in the director's head and is not written on paper. The actor can't see the script, so he can only rack his brains, squeeze his potential, and give different performances, hoping that one of them can meet the effect that the director wants.

One of the ways to do this is to start by figuring out the relationship between the characters.

The current situation is somewhat similar, or slightly better, at least the relationship between the characters is relatively certain. It won't be like a real unscripted performance, and you don't know what your role is and what your relationship is with your opponent after the play.

Cao Miao asked Qingtao to set up a desk under the corridor, leaning on the desk and closing her eyes to recuperate, combing the existing information in her mind.

Thinking about it, it was still the school affair named Han Dong that was most suitable as a breakthrough. A son of a poor family who has a secret mission, but does not receive any support, and is not a human inside and outside, is involved in a relatively simple relationship.

What's more, he still has a long-lost jade owl seal in his hand. If you want to inquire about relevant information, it is naturally most convenient to start with school affairs.

It would be even better if Han Dong could be developed as an informant.
