On the hillside less than a few miles southeast of Zhou Yi's camp, Cao Miao and Xiahou Hui sat opposite each other, their legs soaked in the hot springs.

After walking in the mountains for more than a month, Xiahou Hui enjoyed this rare comfort very much and was full of curiosity about this natural hot water.

"Would you like to take a shower?" Cao Miao said, retracting his gaze at the Wu army camp in the distance.

Xiahou Hui glared at Cao Miao and didn't speak. Soaking her feet with Cao Miao, she already felt that it was too much, and she still took a bath? Even if no one sees it, she is not used to this open-air bath.

Although she did want to take a shower.

"If you don't wash, I'll wash." Cao Miao scratched her head. "I haven't washed my hair for a month, and my hair is almost knotted."

Hearing Cao Miao say this, Xiahou Hui also felt uncomfortable, not only his scalp was itchy, but his whole body was itchy. But she was embarrassed to change her words, so she had to continue to be silent, turning her head to look at the hillside in the distance, the old village of the Chen brothers.

Cao Su was there with his people, intending to ambush Zhou Yi. The reason why he was willing to enter Poyang was that he wanted to kill Zhou Yi.

"Do you think Des can get it?"

"It's not possible yet. Zhou Yi is good at using the room, he must be a thoughtful person, the enemy is at present, and he has been harassed by Desi for so long, and his spirit is highly nervous, and he will not give Desi any chance. ”

"And you're going to let him go?"

"Don't let him go, he's not convinced. Besides, letting him fail a few times can not only remind him not to be proud, but also make Zhou Yi relax his vigilance, so that there will be a chance. ”

Xiahou Hui thought about it and felt that Cao Miao was reasonable. This kind of ability to figure out people's hearts, he is indeed superior.

"Let's wash." Cao Miao stood up and persuaded again: "I'll give you the wind." If I don't finish washing, you'll be dirty. ”

Xiahou Hui was still a little hesitant, Cao Miao smiled: "Don't worry, I still have a bottom line as a man." I can't learn to let go of the cowherd and steal the clothes of the fairy. ”

Xiahou Hui couldn't help laughing. "Don't lift me up, I'm a fairy. Married to a wife, the old man is ...... yellow" said inexplicably sad, his voice was lowered, his head was lowered, and he was playing with his clothes belt for a while, and his feet were patting the spring water up and down.

Cao Miao laughed. "When you say that, are you throwing bricks and bricks, do you want me to praise you a few words? You wash it first, I want to think of good words, maybe when you finish washing, you will have it. After saying that, he wiped his feet, put on his leather shoes, and hummed a song as he went off into the distance.

Listening to Cao Miao's song, Xiahou Hui smiled silently. She called the maid, fetched the toiletries, found a relatively hidden place at the outlet of the hot spring, took off her clothes, and went into the spring.

Soaking in the slightly hot spring water, my whole body seems to come to life, and every pore is laughing.

Cao Miao's singing was blown intermittently by the wind, but it was always in the distance. Xiahou Hui suddenly thought that Cao Miao was standing upwind, probably just to get farther away, and to let her hear the voice so that she wouldn't worry.

Although this man is arrogant, his mind is still quite delicate. What is even more rare is that he not only does not despise women, but on the contrary, he has a rare pity.

What a weirdo, maverick.

Xiahou Hui was waiting for the maid to take a bath, while thinking about Cao Miao's bits and pieces, and his mood was very complicated.

According to the plan she discussed with Cao Miao, at this point, Zhou Yi should change her strategy and ask Mrs. Sun and Sun Luban for help. Once they arrived, Cao Miao would negotiate with them to facilitate a joint trip to Liaodong.

Regardless of whether the cooperation can be completed or not, Cao Miao will return to Sun Luban, and perhaps Mrs. Sun.

At that time, it may be difficult for her to see Cao Miao. Even if you can see it, it is surrounded by a group of people, and it is unlikely to be so casual.

If Sima Shi also comes, will I go back to Luoyang with him, or will I keep my promise and go to Liaodong with Cao Miao and Cao Su?

Xiahou Hui was in a tangled mood and difficult to decide.

——

Cao Su crouched behind a bush of trees, staring at Zhou Yi who was walking slowly with his eyes, and slowly picked up the strong crossbow in his hand, aiming the cold and shining arrow at Zhou Yi.

He had waited too long for this moment.

There were many people around Zhou Yi, holding shields and knives, looking around vigilantly, leaving not many opportunities for Cao Su.

Zhou Yi himself also wore armor, unless he was shot at the vital point, it was unlikely that he would die.

Cao Su tried to shoot several times, but still gave up. He wasn't sure, and the arrow would only startle the snake. In contrast, he would rather wait a little longer. If Zhou Yi can walk within 100 steps, even if he misses the shot, he can still fight in close combat.

With his strength, it was not difficult to break through the resistance and kill Zhou Yi before Zhou Doi's subordinates could react.

He regretted it a little, and he should have brought Ah Hu. Ah Hu is not only better than him in martial arts, but also good in archery, even at such a distance, Ah Hu can also hit every shot, a three-stone hard bow in his hand, almost three or five crossbowmen can be used, and he can definitely cover his close-range assault.

If Cao Miao is willing to make a move, it will be more certain.

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Su regretted it a little.

In the matter of practicing martial arts, he is far less self-disciplined than Cao Miao and Ah Hu. Anyway, among the opponents he encountered, there were only a handful of people like Cao Miao and Ah Hu, and most of them couldn't withstand his blow. In this case, why bother to practice martial arts, it is enough to maintain the state.

Cao Miao asked Ah Hu to shoot 500 arrows a day to ensure that the hit rate was more than 90%, and he couldn't shoot standing up, he had to shoot while running.

That's too much to ask.

Now, he knew what this subtle difference meant, and that was the distance between a one-hit kill and a Linyuan Muyu.

Zhou Yi took a few steps in the cottage and rejected the suggestion of his subordinates to set fire to the house. He wants to solve the problem, not vent his anger. If no one can be caught, burning the house will only anger the Chen brothers and make them even more desperate to follow Cao Su. Keeping the house, they have a thought, maybe they will come back.

He turned around and went down the mountain, and before going down the mountain, he looked at where Cao Su was. He vaguely felt that there was some danger there, but he looked at it several times, but he didn't find any flaws.

When a bird stood in the treetops and sang, he gave up on sending someone to see it. It's not early, so it's better to go back to the camp early. Poyang is going to be chaotic, the bad news is coming one after another, and no one knows which county will be harassed and looted.

Zhou Yi felt bitter in his heart. He was careless and planted the root cause, and he was not sure whether he could uproot it in time, so he could only hope that Sun Luban could get in touch with Cao Miao to solve the crisis.

For this reason, he had to temporarily put aside the dignity of the clan and make concessions to the clan, and he was a woman of the clan.

The lesser of two evils, this is his most helpless choice. How to face the auxiliary general Lu Xun can only be said in the future.

Behind Zhou Yi, the little bird raised its head, screamed, spread its wings, and flew into the sky.

Zhou Yi glanced back, and his heart was empty.
