After slapping Cao Su in person, Xiahou Xu was both happy and apprehensive.

Cao Su is not a gentleman. I suffered a loss this time, and I will definitely take revenge next time I have the opportunity. Whether it is a thesis or a competition, he is not Cao Su's opponent. In the event of a conflict, it is bound to suffer.

Thinking about it, it seems that he can only hug Cao Miao's thighs. Among his peers, the only person who can really cure Cao Su is Cao Miao.

The manor of Xiahou Xu's family is in the north of the city. Out of the Yongqiu Mansion, Cao Miao headed north, preparing to leave the city through the Great Xia Gate. As he passed through the gold market, he paused and went to Lao Liu's shop to get a few newly built iron claws and some other tools.

Lao Liu is Yin Mo's eyes and ears, but he has an excellent relationship with Han Dong. This time, Han Dong was ordered to go to Jiangdong to deploy the fine work network, and Lao Liu was also selected. In a few days, he will be on his way. Although he left Luoyang and rushed to Jiangdong, his hometown is Shouchun, and he is actually closer to home.

Cao Miao chatted with Lao Liu for a few words. Han Dong reported to him about Lao Liu's situation and hoped that he could interview him in person. In his vision, Lao Liu will be a very key figure, and may even be arranged to become Jianye's liaison.

Lao Liu didn't know the true relationship between Cao Miao and Han Dong, and he answered very cautiously, which can be said to be leaky. Cao Miao was very satisfied with him.

Not far out of the city, Cao Miao stopped in a small forest. Yun Niang got out of the car and walked into the grove, and after a while, several carriages drove out, joined a team with Cao Miao and others, and continued north.

Aunt Ren got into Cao Miao's car and greeted with a smile. "Master Lu, don't come unharmed?"

Cao Miao laughed. "Thank you for your concern. Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, I know that you are in Luoyang City, I just can't find you. ”

Aunt Ren smiled reservedly. "Three holes of the cunning rabbit. To survive in this troubled world, I have to be cautious, and I think Lu Gongzi can understand it. ”

Cao Miao nodded. "My aunt already knows my true identity, can I repay the favor and let me trust my aunt more?"

Aunt Ren pondered for a moment. "Childe has Lu as his surname, so he must have known my identity. I wish Childe could tell me, how do you know? We shouldn't have been in contact before. ”

"Are you really the strange woman who participated in the assassination of Dong Zhuo?"

Aunt Ren turned her head to look out the window, her eyes a little confused. After a while, she retracted her gaze and said with a faint smile: "The strange woman didn't dare to be, she just cooperated with Wang Situ and did what she could." ”

"Auntie has been in Luoyang all these years, are you still interested in doing what she can?"

Aunt Ren smiled slightly. "Childe, after forty years, I am no longer the young woman, just a yellow-faced old woman who is barely breathing, what else can I help?"

Although the charm of the eldest lady still exists, it has even added to the precipitation of the years, which is more charming. But what I need is not the lady's face, but your bearing, your bearing that has seen the wind and waves and looked down on life. With you in the middle of the schedule, I will be much more relaxed. ”

Aunt Ren looked at Cao Miao in surprise, and a hint of color flashed in her eyes. After a while, she smiled and said: "Don't hide it from the son, since Sun Quan intended to establish the capital Jianye, we have arranged eyes and ears in Jianye, but the time is still short, not as safe as Luoyang." If Childe wants to use it greatly, the cost may be more. ”

"How much?"

"At least three thousand gold, possibly as high as ten thousand." Aunt Ren stared at Cao Miao, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be picky.

Cao Miao thought for a moment. "Reasonable. But I don't have that much money right now, so I'll give you a thousand gold first, how about it? He smiled. Presumably the eldest lady also knows that Jiangdong is a life of nine deaths, although I am a clan, I don't have such a high consciousness, but if there is a slightest possibility, I will not go. Inviting the eldest lady out of the mountain is just a precaution. ”

Aunt Ren nodded. "Childe is cautious, I appreciate it very much. If you just do some preliminary preparation, a thousand gold is more than enough. It's just that before the childe leaves, he must make up at least 3,000 gold, otherwise I can't guarantee that your requirements will be met. ”

"It's a deal." Cao Miao stomped her foot gently. "Two cars, each with five hundred gold, will be the eldest mother's from now on."

Aunt Ren was unmoved. "Childe hasn't answered my question yet. How did you recognize me? ”

Cao Miao laughed. "Would you believe me if I said someone had a dream for me?"

Aunt Ren's delicate willow eyebrows raised slightly. "Who gave you the dream?"

Cao Miao smiled more calmly, and met Aunt Ren's forced gaze without showing weakness, and even had a hint of ridicule. Although he was beating a drum in his heart, he couldn't be cowardly at this time. The first time he met Aunt Ren, when he claimed to be surnamed Lu, he saw the cold glint in Aunt Lu's eyes, and knew that this old beauty was by no means an ordinary woman with a soft heart. If necessary, she can kill decisively. Now that he knew that she was the one who cooperated with Wang Yun and separated Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, he didn't dare to take it lightly.

To convince her and make her work for herself, you must suppress her in momentum.

The people in the rivers and lakes, although they say that they promise a thousand gold, they will practice what they say, but they are more convinced of the strong. The weak are not even qualified to survive.

"Who do you think it will be?"

Aunt Ren took a deep breath, leaned forward slightly, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. "Childe, the old body wants to tell you something."

Cao Miao looked at Aunt Ren and also raised the corners of her mouth.

"Actually, I don't think anyone will remember my ......" Before the words fell, Aunt Ren suddenly got up her legs, a little cold light on her toes, and went straight to Cao Miao's chest under the cover of the flying skirt. The arched hands were separated at the same time, each holding a short knife, and slashed at Cao Miao's face and throat.

The narrow carriage suddenly blew violently and murderously.

"Tuk Tuk!" With three crisp sounds, the short knife in Ren's hand and the sharp blade on the tip of the toe hit the wall of the car, especially the sharp blade on the tip of the toe, which penetrated deeply into the thick wall of the car and could not be pulled out for a while. Cao Miao disappeared. Aunt Ren was shocked, and immediately changed her moves, leaned back, crossed her knives, and slashed to her back.

Cao Miao, who was sitting in Aunt Ren's seat, stretched out her hands and buckled Aunt Ren's wrists in time, and at the same time, her toes lightly pressed the knee socket of Ren's thighs, forcing her to kneel to the ground, but her other foot was pressed against the wall of the car, her toes were tense, and her thighs were stretched straight and unable to move.

"Actually, I don't believe you'll be so easy to comply." Cao Miao said unhurriedly: "Do you really think you can come and go freely in Luoyang City?" To tell you the truth, I already know at least two of your three caves, and the remaining cave, as long as I want to investigate, it is not a difficult matter. ”

Aunt Ren was restrained by Cao Miao, unable to fight back, unable to maintain balance, swaying, and very embarrassed. Especially in her reverse bow posture, her body is extremely tight, and the originally well-cut clothes are also tightly strangled, which is inevitably a little indecent.

"Childe is very skilled." Aunt Ren's eyes rolled up and looked at Cao Miao, her eyes were complicated.

"Okay." Cao Miao smiled. "Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to call myself surnamed Lu. Do you want to try again? ”

Aunt Ren smiled bitterly. "I'm not a childe's opponent, I'm willing to bow down."

"The kid is presumptuous, dare to ask the name of the eldest lady."

Aunt Ren took a breath and slowly spit it out. "Hongchang."
