Out of the gold market, Cao Miao traveled all the way south and took a look. When he passed the mansion of King Yongqiu, he did not stop and continued to walk forward.

Qingtao and Ah Hu didn't say anything, but Hongxing couldn't walk anymore. Cao Miao asked her to go back first with the things she bought, and she didn't have to follow anymore. Hongxing was a little frustrated, but she didn't dare to say anything, and bit her lip and went back. Seeing this, Qingtao chased after her, and said a few words in Hongxing's ear, Hongxing's eyebrows smiled, and she jumped back again.

"Whose house is this?" Cao Miao asked, pointing to the mansion on the side of the road. This mansion is different, the door is directly open on the street, and the status is bound to be noble.

"The General's Private Residence." Qingtao said. "The General's Mansion is near the east of Shangmen, this is a private house, and there are not many people living there."

Cao Miao didn't say anything more, just watched carefully. The green peach has been harvested a lot in the past few days, and the general situation in the vicinity has been almost touched.

"That's the official office of the Great Honglu Temple here, and it's in charge of the guest house order. The guest house ling's surname is Sun, and his name is not very clear. Qingtao pointed to an official office opposite Cao Zhen's private house that was waiting to open the door and said: "The Liaodong Mansion is next door to the official office, and it is said that standing on the watchtower of the official office, you can see every move of the Liaodong Mansion clearly." ”

"Liaodong Mansion?" Cao Miao's heart moved. "Who's here?"

"Therefore, Gongsun Huang, the eldest son of Gongsun Kang, the Taishou Gongsun Kang of Liaodong, has been a proton in Beijing for more than ten years, living in a simple house, and rarely interacting with outsiders."

Cao Miao didn't speak, he saw a group of people coming out of it, and after a few knights leading horses, there was a man in his thirties, tall, wearing a close-fitting official uniform, just with his head down, his back was a little hunched, and he looked a little old and decrepit.

"Is that him?" Cao Miao asked.

Qingtao shook her head. "The servant has never seen him, and he dare not determine. But looking at it like this, it should be him. ”

"And what do you think of his horses?"

Qingtao looked embarrassed. "Prince, the servant hasn't seen a horse for eight or nine years, and he doesn't know Soma."

Ah Hu said, "What a good horse." These are authentic Liaodong horses, I saw them last time in Chenliuma City, and I heard that one horse costs ten gold. ”

Cao Miao turned around and raised his hand and shouted, "Hey, Brother Gongsun." ”

Qingtao and Ah Hu were stunned and looked at each other. If it weren't for the fact that they knew that Cao Miao had been well a long time ago, and they were just pretending to be crazy, they would almost have thought that Cao Miao was sick again. Do you know people who greet them so warmly?

Cao Miao's voice was very loud, and the person on the other side heard it and looked up this way. The young man called a knight and gave a few orders. The knight nodded in agreement, and hurried over, his keen eyes swept over Cao Miao and the others, his brows furrowed inadvertently, and he bowed.

"I don't know who it is, my family makes the king's eyesight weak, and he can't see the dignity of his feet clearly, and I ask for forgiveness."

Cao Miao laughed. "Did Brother Gongsun read too much, or did he cry too much, hurt his eyes, and couldn't even recognize his old friends? But I don't blame him, in a blink of an eye, he hasn't seen him for more than ten years. Back then, I was still a young man with drooping hair, and my grandson brother had just been weakly crowned and heroic, but now I am sick, and he holds a grudge, which is not the same as it was then. But I haven't forgotten him, no, when I go back to Luoyang, I'll come to see him. ”

The knight was stunned and looked at Cao Miao again. "The foot is ...... The eldest prince of Yongqiu Wangfu who has just arrived in Beijing? ”

"Exactly." Cao Miao nodded solemnly. "Brother Gongsun, are you going out? What a coincidence. ”

The knight did not dare to answer, but replied, "Please wait a moment, and let me repay the envoy." As he spoke, he bowed again, turned around and hurried to the other side. He walked up to the middle-aged man and whispered a few words to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man raised his feet and looked at Cao Miao in surprise.

Cao Miao raised his hand and waved it enthusiastically. "Brother Gongsun, don't come unharmed?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then walked over, followed by two people, followed by the knight just now, and a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, about forty or so. Cao Miao smiled and stood quietly in place, watching the three of them walk in front of him.

"The Great Prince?" The middle-aged man smiled before he could say anything, but he smiled a little reluctantly.

"You don't recognize it, do you?" Cao Miao laughed. "We haven't seen each other in more than ten years, have we?"

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile. "Yes, yes, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, the eldest prince is personable and extraordinary, I don't dare to admit it."

Cao Miao laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and patted the arm of the middle-aged man, Gongsun Huang, looking like an old friend reunited. "I don't blame you. More than ten years ago, I was the eldest son of the Marquis of Linzi. More than a decade later, I was a seriously ill patient, so poor that I didn't even have a horse and could only walk. I came to visit Brother Gongsun today, and I didn't bring any gifts, so I asked Brother Gongsun not to be weird. ”

As he spoke, Cao Miao took out the short knife he had touched from Han Dong from his arms and handed it to Gongsun Huang with both hands. "This knife was given by a friend, although it is not a Baipi treasure knife, but it is quite sharp, and it is given to Brother Gongsun for self-defense." Without waiting for Gongsun Huang to refuse, he leaned forward again and smiled slightly. "I know that Brother Gongsun has a lot of eyes and ears around him. It would be more convenient to have this knife for self-defense. ”

He deliberately slowed down the speed of his speech and said the three words "this knife" clearly.

Gongsun Huang couldn't cry or laugh, confused. He didn't know which one Cao Miao was singing, but he didn't dare to refuse lightly. He works as a proton in Luoyang, has a special identity, and there are indispensable people around him who are watching, and he usually sleeps unsteadily. Cao Miao has something to say, what article does this knife have?

However, he obviously has nothing to do with Cao Miao.

He looked down at the dagger. The middle-aged scholar beside him glanced at it, his face suddenly changed, and he quietly pulled Gongsun Huang's belt behind him. Gongsun Huang turned his face slightly and exchanged a look with the middle-aged scholar, who nodded quietly and motioned to Gongsun Huang to accept the gift. Although Gongsun Huang didn't know what the reason was, he still accepted it.

"Thank you prince for your concern, I can't thank you enough."

"Well, you see, this is the outside. Although we didn't have many opportunities to meet back then, we hit it off at first sight. I remember learning how to mount and shoot from you. However, after all these years of illness, and so poor that he did not even have a horse, this riding shot has long been abandoned. ”

Gongsun Huang suddenly realized, turned to the knight and said, "Go and choose two good horses to walk with the prince." He said to Cao Miao again: "The prince is kind, there is no way to repay, a few horses, and I hope that the prince is not too thin." ”

Cao Miao laughed and reached out to pat Gongsun Huang's shoulder. "Brother Gongsun, you are still the same, give gifts and horses. If a few people come, they will send a few horses, what a real Liaodong person. After a pause, he added, "I just like you." ”

Gongsun Huang smiled wryly, and shook the hand behind his back towards the knight, comparing the number three. The knight understood, walked quickly to the opposite side, and called two people. The two returned to the inn, and when Cao Miao and Gongsun Huang were chatting "hotly", they brought three horses back, and together with the knights, they sent them to Cao Miao.

Gongsun Huangqiang smiled and said: "Eldest Prince, when you go back to Luoyang, I haven't received any news, I haven't been able to come to visit, and I'm really sorry that you come to see me." Although these three horses are not a thousand miles of horses, they are still usable, and I hope the prince will not dislike them. This one...... I'm still in a bit of a hurry, so I won't invite you to come in and sit down. How about visiting another day? ”

"Alas, Brother Gongsun, you are too polite. It was I who came without telling me and delayed Brother Gongsun. You are at your own convenience, you are at your own convenience. Cao Miao waved her hand very modestly and motioned for Ah Hu to take over.

The moment he saw the three horses, Ah Hu couldn't take his eyes off it, and when he saw Cao Miao's signal, he immediately stepped forward and almost snatched the reins from the knight's hand.

Qingtao kicked Ah Hu from behind, but there was no expression on his face.
