Seeing Cao Miao raise his middle finger, everyone closed their mouths in unison and looked at Xiahou Xuan quietly.

Ordinary people may not understand it, but it does not prevent them from yearning for it, but they may not have the opportunity to meet it in person. After all, Baume & Mercier's gatherings are not for everyone. Today, I was lucky, not only met two of the four congs, but also met the eldest prince of Yongqiu Wang, who has recently become famous and known as a madman, and witnessed him discussing with Xiahou Xuan, naturally no one wants to miss a word.

It's just that the eldest prince didn't say a word, just raised a finger, what did he mean?

A madman is a madman, and it's different.

Everyone looked confused, just to see the excitement. Deng Yang is an expert and can see the doorway. Seeing that he had failed to satisfy Cao Miao with three answers, and now it would be answered by Xiahou Xuan, his heart was pounding, but he was excited and a little nervous. I hope to see Xiahou Xuan's subtle answer, get Cao Miao's approval, and keep Sicong's reputation, but I don't really want to see this result.

Under the suffering of gains and losses, Deng Yang stared at Xiahou Xuan and held his breath.

Xiahou Xuan's eyebrows were raised slightly, and a confident smile appeared on his white jade-like face. He grabbed his left sleeve with his right hand, stretched out his left hand, and raised his middle finger as well.

Deng Yang saw it clearly, and couldn't help but secretly scream and admire it secretly. It's not enough to do it to act, it's more clever to ask rhetorically, and see how Cao Miao responds. Although Xiahou Xuan has the possibility of doing this, it is a good strategy.

Deng Yang turned his head to look at Cao Miao, and then saw a smile on Cao Miao's face, and his mood was relieved. Looking at it like this, Xiahou Xuan's answer was right.

However, he immediately realized that Cao Miao's smile was not the joy of meeting a bosom friend, but a trace of contempt and insidiousness, and the heart he had just put down immediately picked it up again.

Under the attention of countless people, Cao Miao retracted his middle finger and clenched it into a fist.

Xiahou Xuan's eyes flashed slightly, thinking about the meaning of change, and Cao Miao's fist suddenly enlarged in his eyes. Before he could react, he was punched in the face. "Phew!" Xiahou Xuan suddenly felt that his eyes were black, full of stars, his nose was sore, and there was a hot current gushing out. He reached out and touched the sticky blood on his hand.

"You-" Even though he was as elegant as Xiahou Xuan, he was also angered by Cao Miao's behavior, sank his face, and scolded sharply.

Cao Miao snorted and raised her middle finger again.

Xiahou Xuan was stunned, and his mind went blank. The answer was wrong? Not only is it wrong, but it is so wrong that Cao Miao is rude? Or is this also the meaning of the question? But how exactly should this question be answered? What exactly does this finger mean?

Xiahou Xuan's handsome face was full of question marks.

Deng Yang was also stunned, looking stunned, but there was a hint of secret joy. Even Xiahou Xuan can't answer, and I have nothing to be ashamed of. This great prince is worthy of being a madman, unfathomable, and his behavior is always unexpected.

Seeing that Xiahou Xuan did not react, Cao Miao showed some regret on his face, turned around and got on the horse, and walked away under the escort of Qingtao and Ah Hu.

Xiahou Xuan remained motionless, his eyes darkening. The red nosebleed flowed down the neatly trimmed short whiskers, dripping down the snow-white silk clothes, like red plums in the snow, which was bright.

"Oh, it's worthy of being a real celebrity, even the injury is so beautiful. I want to marry him, I must marry him, even if it is a concubine. There was a shy exclamation from the carriage, followed by laughter.

"In the beginning?" Seeing that Xiahou Xuan seemed to have lost his soul, Deng Yang felt uneasy in his heart and called softly.

"Oh." Xiahou Xuan woke up suddenly, stretched out his hand and wiped his nose again, and when he saw the blood, he couldn't help frowning. "Xuanmao, I won't go, you help me confess to Ziyuan and you, just say that I am not feeling well, and we will meet again next time." After speaking, he pushed Deng Yang away, got into the carriage, and ordered the coachman to turn the horse's head and gallop away.

The knights picked up their wounded companions and followed closely.

Seeing that Xiahou Xuan was gone, the people who ate melons also dispersed, discussing the scene just now, and going their separate ways. It won't be long before the story of Xiahou Xuan and the eldest prince of Yongqiu Wangfu discussing their invincibility will spread all over the capital through their mouths.

Deng Yang was stunned on the spot, until the crowd dispersed, then he smiled bitterly, got into the carriage, and drove towards the east of the city.

——

Qingtao led the horse for a while, and saw that Cao Miao gradually became familiar with the mount, so Cao Miao rode himself, and he also got on the horse, and Ah Hu left and right, protecting Cao Miao, and moving forward along the street.

"Prince, where are we going?" The city gate was in sight, and Qingtao couldn't help but ask.

"Go to the sheep market outside the city and find someone." Cao Miao turned her head to look at Qingtao, took out a roll of paper from her sleeve, and handed it to Qingtao. Qingtao took it blankly, opened it and took a look, her body shook, and her plump face gradually rose red.

"Prince, this is ......"

"Don't rejoice too soon, it's just possible, not necessarily."

Qingtao replied calmly, carefully put away the paper, and put it in the close-fitting placket. "Whether it is or not, the servant is grateful to the prince. It's the first time in so many years that someone has done this for a servant. ”

Cao Miao knew what Qingtao meant. To some extent, Zhang Quan was dragged down by Cao Zhi, but Cao Zhi has never thought of contributing to the Zhang family for so many years, and he doesn't even have even a trace of love for Qingtao, and only treats her as an ordinary maidservant, which is somewhat chilling.

Qingtao chose him and gave up Cao Zhi, which has a lot to do with Cao Zhi's own inaction. If the news given by Yin Mo is true, Qingtao's younger brother is really in the sheep market, Qingtao will follow him with all her heart for the rest of her life, even if she is allowed to die, she will not frown.

After a few months of getting along, Cao Miao knew that although Qingtao didn't talk much, she had the unique perseverance of a Northwest woman, she was a trustworthy person, and it was entirely possible to become his real confidant.

Out of Jianyang Gate, the outside of the city gradually became lively, you can see retail vendors on the roadside from time to time, some are inconspicuous small prices, some are just a handful of fruits, some are two fish, the sanitary conditions are worrisome, flies are flying around, black, brown sheep feces are everywhere, you have to be careful when walking. Fortunately, Cao Miao and the three of them rode horses, and if they walked, their shoes would be wasted.

The three good horses in Liaodong sent by Gongsun Huang were very eye-catching, and many people paid attention to the onlookers, and the bold ones came to ask if they were sold, and some offered 50 gold. Although Cao Miao had no interest in selling horses, she was also surprised by the high price of horses. When he bought horses in Chenliu, although those horses were not as good as these three Liaodong horses, some of them could be used as war horses, and the highest price was only about ten gold.

Liaodong horses are so expensive? Could it be related to the war? The war in Chang'an and Longxi has just ended, and Yangzhou is about to go to war again, and the forbidden army directly under the imperial court is transferred back and forth, and there is a great demand for war horses. For those generals with high status, high-quality war horses are never in short supply.

Cao Miao thought about it while entering the sheep market, and there were people in front of him, and he couldn't walk at all. Even though Cao Miao was careful, he still touched people a few times.

At this moment, Ah Hu suddenly shouted. "Little thief, stop, dare to steal my prince's money, you are so bold." As he spoke, he kicked his horse and rushed forward.

Cao Miao touched his waist, only to find that the purse had disappeared.
