Cao Shuang shuddered and almost fell to his knees. "Your Majesty, Koto...... There is news. ”

Hearing the word "Jiangdong", Cao Rong frowned and subconsciously twisted his fingers. To be honest, he doesn't want any news from Koto right now. It's good right now. Sun Quan can't be the emperor for the time being, and the Jiangdong family fights in chaos, which just gives him a chance to stabilize the situation.

It would be even better if that Yuan Song could be secretly escorted to Luoyang.

Cao Rong pondered for a long time and stretched out his hand. Cao Shuang hurriedly handed over the documents he received with both hands. Cao Rong took it, glanced at the cover inscription, and then at Cao Shuang. "What's the news?"

Cao Shuang raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. "According to His Majesty's decree, extremely secret documents must not be opened, and they will be directly transmitted to the forbidden China."

Cao Rong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had this order, and although it aroused strong opposition from the ministers, the secretary desk still carried it out. He waved his hand and motioned for Cao Shuang to step back. Cao Shuang was in the middle of it, took a few steps back, turned around and left, for fear that Cao Ei would change his mind and stop him again.

Cao Rong saw it clearly, the corners of his mouth twitched, he cursed vaguely, checked the official document in his hand, and confirmed that it had not been opened, and then opened it.

The news was sent back from Cao Su, and there were two main contents: first, Liu Chen got out of Cao Miao's side and is now under Cao Su's command; First, it is rumored in Wuchang that Cao Miao will build a ship for Wu State, which is said to be a big ship that can go to sea. He had already asked Cao Miao for confirmation, and Cao Miao did not deny it. Judging by his reaction, he seemed to have a mind and was restless.

After reading it, Cao Rong handed over the official document to the collection of evil spirits, sat on the steps by himself, and thought for a long time.

After Liu Chen left Cao Miao, Cao Miao was left with only his own people, and Cao Miao's whereabouts were even more difficult to grasp. Is this Cao Miao intentionally doing this, or is it the situation that he has to do so, he is not sure.

Cao Miao wants to build a ship for Wu State, and he is not too worried. I haven't heard that Cao Miao can build ships, at most it's just some ideas. However, this may be Cao Miao's dissatisfaction. The escape of the sheep has caused a major danger to his safety, and it is likely that he has become suspicious and overreacted.

Thinking of the incident with Yang Wei, Cao Rong was also very angry. The fact that the prisoners in the school prison were able to escape made him very embarrassed, and also made him lack confidence in the face of Cao Miao's anger. Whoever changes will suspect that he borrowed a knife to kill people.

In fact, Cao Miao's reaction was already very restrained.

But no matter what, Cao Miao must not be allowed to wander out of control, and reliable people must be arranged around him to grasp his every move in time. Otherwise, with his out-of-this-box temperament, sooner or later he will make trouble again like denunciating Yinbo.

Cao Rong thought for a long time, got up and clapped his hands. "Summoning Cao Zhi into the palace."

——

North of Luoyang City, Buzhou Mountain Villa.

Qingtao took two healthy servants and carried a heavy box into the west courtyard.

Princess Deyang and Xiahou Yan were sitting and talking, and when they saw this, they couldn't help but laugh and said, "Qingtao, what good things have you purchased?" Although I have made a lot of money recently, I have to save some money. When your master returns, there will be more places to spend money. ”

Qingtao smiled: "Princess, this is not what I bought, it is a gift sent back by the master." As he spoke, he took out another letter and handed it to Xiahou Yan. Shaojun, this is the master's reply. ”

Xiahou Yan was overjoyed. "So fast? I thought it would be a long wait. ”

"It's a military post road, so it's going to be faster." Qingtao explained.

Princess Deyang asked people to open the box. There are many small boxes in the box, and the green peaches are taken out one by one and placed on the table. Princess Deyang opened a few pieces and couldn't help but be amazed. She is well-informed, and knows that these things are not ordinary things, and they are worth a lot of money, and this box should be worth about 10 million.

"This kid is really spending money indiscriminately." Princess Deyang was happy and distressed.

Xiahou Yan picked up a pearl and looked at the sun. "Mother, look at this pearl, it's big and round, it must look good when made into a necklace."

"This is Hepu Zhu, keep it, and be your dowry in the future." Princess Deyang patted Xiahou Yan, took the pearl from her hand, and carefully swung it back. "What did your brother say in his letter?"

"Brother has said a lot of things, which one do you want to listen to first?"

"Pick the most important thing first."

"He's going to sea."

"Out to sea?" Princess Deyang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiahou Yan suspiciously. "Out of what sea?"

Xiahou Yan glanced at Qingtao, and then at the slave on the side. Qingtao understood, turned around and motioned for them to retreat, and was about to go down to the hall herself, but was stopped by Xiahou Yan. Princess Deyang saw it in her eyes, and the smile on her face faded.

"Qingtao, if your master goes to sea, do you want to follow?"

"Of course." Qingtao said without thinking.

"Then you prepare from now on, take away as much as you can, find a good ship, send people to Qingzhou to do something, so many people and things, it is eye-catching, if you show your traces, I am afraid you will not be able to see your master."

After Xiahou Yan finished speaking, he raised his little hand. Qingtao nodded, turned around and went down the hall.

Princess Deyang became more and more uneasy, and when Qingtao disappeared outside, she asked, "Ah Yan, what happened?" It took so much money to build this villa, how can you say that you have to leave? ”

"Mother, brother wants to ask you something."

"What's the matter?"

"When did you first meet Your Majesty, and how old was he then?"

Princess Deyang frowned. "He asked me about it before, didn't I tell him, I can't remember."

"Mother, you'd better think about it." Xiahou Yan handed over the letter and pointed it out to Princess Deyang.

Princess Deyang took it and watched it several times, the more she looked at it, the more uneasy she became, and her face gradually turned pale. Cao Miao said in the letter that a man named Yuan Song appeared in Jiangdong, claiming to be the son of Yuan Xi. According to reliable sources, this person is related to Yinbo, who was sent to Jiangdong by the Son of Heaven, who had just arrived in Wuchang from Liaodong not long ago, and had already been recognized by Yuan Yao, the son of Yuan Shu.

Judging from various indications, there may be conclusive evidence in the hands of the Wu people that can prove that the Son of Heaven Cao Rong is the Yuan bloodline.

Cao Miao himself had also received relevant news before, and in the information he seized from Wang Ji, he had mentioned this Yuan Song. However, at that time, he thought that Wang Ji was spreading rumors, but now that he saw Yuan Song himself, he had to reconsider this possibility.

He reported this matter to the imperial court, and the imperial court's reply was very ambiguous, and there was no positive response, and it seemed that there was a possibility of acquiescence.

He asked Princess Deyang to reminisce carefully, and looked for people among the relevant relatives who remembered the events of the year, and confirmed the time of Cao Ei's birth. If Cao Rong was born before Jian'an broke Yecheng in the ninth year, this matter would be suspicious.

Considering the serious consequences of this incident, as well as the embarrassing situation of their father and son, there is only a limit to what can be done, and if it cannot be proved that Cao Ei is the Cao family's bloodline, he will go to sea to take refuge and save a trace of the Cao family's bloodline.
