I walked forward two intersections and joined Zhang Wei.

Twenty horses of Shu brocade, placed in front of Cao Miao, bright as clouds.

Cao Miao's mood was a little gloomy. Not only because he struck with all his strength but missed, but also because the severity of reality was beyond his imagination. Zhong Tai is a descendant of the Yingchuan Zhong clan, a member of Taifu Zhong Xuan's clan, his career is so difficult, he has to take risks, not to mention others.

"You know, these twenty Shu brocades are not for courting relatives at all, but to enter the door of the Hussar General's Mansion."

Zhang Wei was very calm. He crouched on the side of the road and was silent for a moment. "Does the prince know how much it will cost to ask for a thousand?"

Cao Miao shook her head.

Zhang Wei held up a finger. "A thousand horses. Five hundred governors, five hundred horses. This is clearly priced. If twenty brocades can enter the Hussar General's Mansion and drink a few glasses of wine, it will be worth it. In the words of the hussar general, it is not easy to reward a hundred generals. If you are really hit by the hussar general, your future career will be limitless, and you will earn blood. ”

Cao Miao looked at Zhang Wei and said after a while: "You are a deserter because of this?" ”

"What if you don't be a deserter? No matter how much I accumulate, I won't be able to confer an official position. Working hard, it's just not to work for others, it's better to be a ranger. Money in one hand, life in the other. If you get the opportunity, maybe you can avenge Xuanwei Hou. ”

Cao Miao suddenly became interested. "If you had the chance, who would you most like to kill?"

Zhang Wei turned his head to look at Cao Miao, the corners of his eyes trembled, his eyes flashed slightly, and then moved away. "Zhong Xuan." He paused, and then said, "There are too many people I want to kill, and I can't count them for a while." But when it comes to what he wants to kill the most, there is undoubtedly this Mrs. Zhong. Back then, he was the initiator of Wei's sarcasm. ”

Cao Miao smiled. "No, if you want to say the culprit, I'm afraid it's my father. If he hadn't been confused, he would have given up the opportunity to his lips in vain, and he wouldn't have affected so many people. ”

Zhang Wei's body stiffened visibly, and it took a moment before he came down again. He nodded. "The prince is not wrong when he says so. If King Yongqiu hadn't been drunk at that time, and the southern expedition against Guan Yu might have been a different situation later. But who would have thought that the king would take the overall situation into account and take the initiative to give up, and finally kill so tragically. If you want to blame, you can only blame the king for reading too many books. ”

Zhang Wei lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said, "Prince, since you have talked about this, I want to ask you something." ”

"You say."

"The situation is much more difficult today than it was ten years ago, can the king do it?"

"I don't know." Cao Miao said lightly: "Xiaoru, the road ahead is dark, I only know how far I can go, whether I can see the light, I can't give you a clear answer." So, if you want to quit, it's still too late. ”

Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Qingtao and Zhang Meng, who were huddled together not far away and laughing in a low voice, and laughed silently. "The prince's daughter is not afraid, what do I have to be afraid of, life and death, fight with them."

He stood up, patted his clothes, and bowed. "Take care, prince." glanced at Cao Miao deeply, raised his hand, took Zhu Da and the others, and walked away, singing as if no one was around.

"Raise your hand to catch the flyer, lean over and scatter the horse's hooves. Cunning than the monkey ape, brave as a leopard ......"

Cao Miao squatted in the shadow in the corner, watching Zhang Wei and the others leave, with a heavy burden on her shoulders. This is no longer just a matter of their father and son, all the people involved have pinned their hopes on his shoulders, and he can't be cautious.

Otherwise, they will all be implicated by him and suffer unjustified disasters like Sun Yong.

——

Back in the house, Cao Miao went to see Cao Zhi first.

Cao Zhi's wound was scabbed, but he couldn't get off the ground yet, and he didn't forget to read a book while lying on the couch. Seeing Cao Miao coming in, he propped up his upper body to say hello. Cao Miao sat down beside him and glanced down.

"What book?"

"Zhuangzi."

"Look at what this thing is for, you also want to borrow rice for the pot like him?" Cao Miao lifted her feet and kicked the book on the ground away.

Cao Zhi grinned in distress, but he didn't dare to refute, so he responded with a snort.

Cao Miao beckoned, and asked people to take the twenty horses of Shu brocade and put them in front of Cao Zhi. "Put them away and make some clothes for your mother. If you can stay in Beijing, your grandmother will need to interact with nobles often in the future, and few good clothes are too cheap. ”

Cao Zhi said in a snort: "Father...... Didn't like these. ”

"I know he doesn't like it, and I don't like it either, but the one in the palace does. You guys are acting too frugal, what will he think? ”

Cao Zhi let out an "oh" and nodded. Cao Rong studied Emperor Wu everywhere, which was different from Emperor Wen, but he was very similar to Emperor Wen, greedy for enjoyment, and extravagant. Cao Zhi is completely the same as Emperor Wu, except for being greedy for a cup of good wine, he doesn't pay much attention to food and clothing, he is very casual, and even a little raunchy. In the past few years, life was so hard, and he didn't care much.

"In addition, after you recover from your injury, find a way to have a good relationship with the children of the Zhen family, and it is best to marry the daughter of the Zhen family."

Cao Zhi was puzzled. "My brother hasn't gotten married yet......"

Cao Miao raised her hand and patted him. "Whatever I say, you do it, why are there so many problems?"

"Oh." Cao Zhi touched his head and smirked.

"Is my father in the house? I'll talk to him about something. Sun Yong was arrested, this is for us, we can't ignore it. ”

Hearing that Sun Yong was arrested, Cao Zhi was also very anxious. "My father was not in the palace, and he was summoned to the palace early in the morning, as if there was something urgent. Brother, Sun Fujun helped us, we must save him. ”

"Of course, we have to save, but how to save is exquisite." Cao Miao muttered: "Perhaps, someone is waiting for us to save us, so as to drag us in and catch us all." Yun Gong, today I went to rob Zhong Tai, there is a big article behind this rumor, we have to be careful. ”

"What kind of big article?"

Cao Miao told the story of the contact with Zhong Tai. He didn't expect Cao Zhi to help him come up with any ideas, and he could only discuss this matter with Cao Zhi, but he hoped that Cao Zhi would understand something and not believe what the book said all day long. Politics is very dark, and the teachings of the saints are far from enough.

After Cao Zhi listened, his face turned white. He looked at the brocade in front of him, and stopped talking several times.

"What? Want me to go back? Cao Miao saw through Cao Zhi's mind at a glance. This younger brother is very similar to his father Cao Zhi, very naïve, the kind that is stupid when he reads. "He spread rumors and framed his father, and he didn't have to pay a price? His sister is Guan Jun's wife, and she is jointly and severally liable. When I kill Guan Jun, she will become an official slave and maid, and she will not have to pay any debts at that time. If you feel distressed, bring it back and wait for you, and it hurts slowly. ”

Cao Zhi obediently closed his mouth. He believed that Cao Miao could really do such a thing.
