Knowing that Wang Ji had left the city, Cao Miao was very depressed.

After tossing for so many days, I didn't even pull the opponent's hair, which was somewhat frustrating. And most of Shi Caiying's connections are in the city, and when she goes out of the city, the efficiency of information collection has plummeted, and she can only rely on luck.

As for Zhang Wei and Han Long, their ability to act is okay, but their ability to collect information is too weak to be worth mentioning.

How can you find out the bastard Wang Ji and destroy his body? Cao Miao fell into deep thought.

"Yunliang?" Seeing that Cao Miao didn't speak for a long time, Xiahou Xuan had to remind him.

Cao Miao realized that Xiahou Xuan hadn't left yet, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Xiahou Xuan was speechless. After a long time, you forgot about me. "What do you think of Zang Ba and Yang Fu's suggestion?"

Cao Miao laughed "poof". "What's my business?"

Xiahou Xuan was stunned. "Why is it none of your business? Wang Ji's life and death are just personal grievances, but the battlefields of Yangzhou and Liangzhou are related to the survival of the Great Wei, do you still need to talk about the priorities here? You should know that you are also a clan. ”

"I'm a sick person." Cao Miao spread his hands. "Please, you're a freelancer, I'm not. All I can care about is personal grievances, national affairs, and when it's my turn to care. ”

Xiahou Xuan was very angry. "Then what do you say about the worries of the world first, and what do you say that the height of the temple is worried about its people, and the distance of the rivers and lakes is worried about its monarch, and it is also worried about entering, and it is also worried about retreating."

"Did I say that?" Cao Miao looked dazed.

"Of course I did." Xiahou Xuan jumped up, almost pointing at Cao Miao's nose and scolding. Just thinking about Gao Xun's severed finger, he consciously retracted it again. "You said it in front of Xun Fei and Zhang Deng, the imperial physician in the palace."

Cao Miao thought about it, as if she had said it. However, he was not ashamed, and said calmly: "That must have been sick at the time, nonsense." ”

"I'm ......" Xiahou Xuan was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave. He was so angry that he didn't put on his shoes for a long time, so he simply walked away with his shoes on. After going down the stairs and walking into the courtyard, I felt uncomfortable with my shoes on my feet, so I simply kicked them away, wearing only Luo socks, and strode out of the door.

Cao Miao had known him for so long, and it was the first time to see him so out of shape, he was a little surprised, and said to himself: "He's crazy too? ”

Qingtao said quietly. "Prince, you are a fake worry, he is a real worry."

Cao Miao thought about it and nodded approvingly. Xiahou Xuan: This is a typical anxiety disorder, it takes a while to get used to, and it is not persuasion that can be persuaded well. Besides, Xiahou Xuan can be really worried, but he can only fake worry, otherwise he won't have good fruit to eat.

"Contact Zhang Wei and Han Long, and prepare to trap Long Lou."

——

When Xiahou Xuan walked out of the door of the guest house, he regretted it a little.

He wanted to go back and apologize, but he couldn't pull his face, so he had to go back to his yard.

called the maidservant, washed her feet, changed her socks, and Xiahou Xuan paced back and forth in the study. The words of Zang Ba and Yang Fu opened his horizons, allowing him to really face the crisis faced by Great Wei for the first time, and seriously consider Cao Miao's warning.

If Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu pass away within a few years, will anyone from the Cao family and Xiahou family be able to rise to the top? If not, then we can only sit back and watch the military power fall into the hands of ministers with different surnames. A month ago, he might not have had such worries, and even felt that such worries were unfounded. But Sima Yi's behavior is a bloody reality, and he can't help but not face up to this possibility.

He combed through the peers he knew, as if except for Cao Tai and Xiahou Ba, who had some military ability, everyone else was not familiar with military affairs. Counting the heirs of Emperor Wu, only Cao Zhi can be used.

Less than ten years after the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the withering of talents is already alarming.

Why didn't I notice any of this before? Xiahou Xuan blamed himself, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He thought back and forth for a long time, gritted his teeth, and rushed to the back hall to meet his mother, Princess Deyang.

The son came to see him late at night, looking anxious, Princess Deyang was very surprised and worried, and hurriedly asked the reason. Xiahou Xuan told what he had seen and heard in the past few days, and finally said his thoughts. He wanted to take the initiative to apply for release and go to the military training under the general, and he couldn't continue to hang out in Beijing.

Before Xiahou Xuan finished speaking, Princess Deyang burst into tears. "Son, you've finally grown up." Princess Deyang hugged Xiahou Xuan and said with relief. "You'd better discuss it with Yunliang first. While he's awake, of course. ”

At the mention of Cao Miao, Xiahou Xuan became worried again.

Once I leave Luoyang, only my mother and little sister will be left at home, will Cao Miao take advantage of the situation and occupy the magpie's nest and replace me?

Seeing that Xiahou Xuan's expression was wrong, Princess Deyang asked, "Taichu, what are you worried about?" ”

Xiahou Xuan shook his head weakly, his face a little hot. "Mother, I'll discuss with Yunliang. He has been ...... for the past two days. Sober too. ”

"Uh-huh." Princess Deyang nodded again and again, feeling both regretful and distressed. "If he doesn't get sick, he's a genius. He was sick, but he was like a child who hadn't grown up. Otherwise, he is more suitable than you to fight, in good health, and smart. ”

Xiahou Xuan's cheeks twitched, not knowing what to say.

——

Xiahou Xuan came to the guest house again, and Cao Miao was practicing with books and picturesque. In order to facilitate mobility, I washed a few pieces of clothes less, knew books and wore very little picturesque, a bandeau on the upper body, and a pair of shorts on the lower body, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, which made people unable to open their eyes.

Cao Miao was no better, only wearing a cow-nosed robe, revealing a well-proportioned and strong tendon meat, covered in sweat.

Xiahou Xuan was embarrassed, not because he was knowledgeable and picturesque, and he wore less clothes—he had seen more glamorous scenes than this, such as the family banquet of the later general Cao Hong—but compared with Cao Miao, he was too weak, and he couldn't help it.

He suspected that he was not even Qingtao's opponent, maybe it was not as good as Gao Xun's forbidden fight.

Seeing Xiahou Xuan standing at the door in a daze, a pair of eyes falling on the bookish and picturesque body, Cao Miao was very unhappy. He knew that people in this era didn't treat concubines as people, let alone orchids, and they could give them away casually, but he didn't like other people to look at his women, and neither could concubines.

"Hey, where do you look? Don't know if it's indecent or not? Cao Miao shouted angrily.

Hearing these four words, Xiahou Xuan remembered Xun Fei's experience, and quickly withdrew his gaze. "Came in a hurry, did not report, capital crime, capital crime."

Cao Miao waved his hand to signal that he knew the book and avoided it picturesquely. "It's a big night, don't stay in your own room, what are you doing here?"

Xiahou Xuan said his thoughts again and looked at Cao Miao with a blank eye. "Yunliang, what do you think...... Will it work? ”

When Cao Miao heard this, she was happy in her heart, but her face was silent. "Don't ask me about this, I don't know that. One thing I can suggest is that those who are soldiers will not talk to you about the mysteries, and if you want to suppress them, you must at least be able to fight. No matter how bad it is, you have to have a good body. Like you, a one-day horse ride is gone, that's not okay. ”

Xiahou Xuan's face was red, but he still bowed his hand. "Please teach me."
