Chapter 407: There is a change
"Tuk-tuk." The two soft sounds of the cabin door woke up Cao Miao, who was immersed in sadness.
Cao Miao rubbed her face, sat up straight, and motioned for Ah Hu to open the door. He blamed himself, he was in danger, he actually let down his guard, and he didn't feel it when someone arrived at the door. If it is an enemy, it will not be dangerous?
The hatch opened, and an orchid knelt outside the hatch with a table.
"Cao Jun, Mrs. Wucheng has a reward."
Cao Miao was just about to let Ah Hu take it, say a few more kind words, reward her with a few dollars, and send her away, when she suddenly realized that the orchid's voice was wrong, and she seemed familiar, and immediately raised her vigilance.
"Come in."
"Whoa." Hu Ji kneeled into the cabin, put the food table in front of Cao Miao, turned around and closed the cabin door, then reached out and wiped it, removing a mask, revealing a pretty face. Cao Miao smiled when she saw it, it was actually a poem and a colorful shadow. He glanced at Ah Hu. Ah Hu understood, leaned against the bulkhead, and pressed his ear against the deck. If someone approaches, he will be the first to find out.
"You are really out of nowhere, and you actually went to the Wucheng Marquis Mansion."
"Mrs. Wucheng Hou likes to eat yokan, and I happen to be good at it." Shi Caiying opened the food box and took out a bowl of yokan and a few snacks.
Cao Miao picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of yokan into her mouth. Shi Caiying is right, the yokan she makes tastes really good, compared to Yun Niang. Mrs. Cao is a native of the Central Plains, often eats yokan at home, and after marrying in Jiangdong, she is not used to eating the beautiful soup of Wu State, and has always missed the taste of her hometown, and she has also mentioned it to Cao Miao. Cao Miao once asked Yun Niang to do it twice, and she was very pleased with Mrs. Cao.
"You didn't come here just to deliver a bowl of yokan, did you?"
"If there is an emergency, you must meet with Cao Jun."
"Say."
"Biqiu Jian was transferred to Youzhou Assassin History."
Cao Miao was slightly stunned? Calm was restored. "And then?"
"We need you to get to Liaodong as soon as possible."
"You guys?"
Shi Caiying bit her lip and moved forward. "Ask me to pass on the jade seal to your person."
Cao Miao drank the yokan unhurriedly until she had drunk all the bowls of yokan. Poetry Caiying didn't say a word? Just looking at Guan Cao Miao intently? The thin lips were pursed tightly.
"I've changed my mind." Cao Miao picked up the cloth? Wipe your mouth and look at Ah Hu against the wall. "Take him away, where is love going? I don't care. As for me? I'm tired and want to have a peaceful birthday for a few days. ”
Shi Caiying looked shocked, and stopped talking. Ah Hu was even more shocked? Two eyes widened? Let's take a look at Cao Miao in a while? Take a look at the poetry and color shadow for a while? Obviously, I can't figure out why Cao Miao said this.
"Didn't I say it clearly enough?" Cao Miao said lightly.
Poetry Caiying came back to his senses? Bow down. "Did the townsman say it very clearly? It's just that I can't say anything right now. Wait for the townsman to arrive in Liaodong......"
Cao Miao raised her hand and interrupted Shi Caiying. "I said, I'm tired and want to have a peaceful birthday in a few days. Whatever secrets you have, I'm not interested. You don't say? I know that too? You didn't help me because of me? It's because of Ah Hu. Ah Hu is sixteen years old? I have suffered a lot over the years, but I don't lack arms and legs, I taught him boxing and kicking? and asked Mrs. Sun to guide him in archery, which is worthy of him. ”
"The townsman is like a brother to Ah Hu, we know this, so we repay the townsman and let the knowledgeable and picturesque serve the townsman."
Cao Miao sneered: "Isn't it surveillance? ”
"How dare you." Shi Caiying looked embarrassed. "We did hide something from the township, but we have never done anything unfavorable to the township."
"It doesn't matter." Cao Miao raised his hand. "I don't want to play anymore anyway. Man, you take it away. If you want to denounce me, just go. ”
"How dare you." Shi Caiying took a step back and fell to the ground.
Cao Miao stared at her again and again, and let out a long breath, a little helpless. A few months ago, he had already received news that Tian Yu had been transferred out of Runan, and now Biqiu Jian had been transferred to Youzhou Assassin Shi, which was most likely related to the old Yuan clan in Liaodong. Tian Yu was familiar with the situation in Youzhou, and Biqiu Jian was Cao Ei's confidant, which was a harbinger of Cao Ei's action against Liaodong.
Linked to Yuan Song's appearance in Wuchang, Cao Rong had just died of a son, and the probability of Cao Rong's surname Yuan increased significantly.
Correspondingly, his situation has become more precarious. If Cao Ei thinks he is a trouble, he will report the truth to Sun Quan at any time and take his life by Sun Quan's hand. Or find a reason to arrest Cao Zhi and Cao Zhi as hostages.
If he is still in the dark and led by the nose, who knows when he will step into the pit again.
"Please think twice." Shicaiying pleaded.
"Think again." Cao Miao waved his hand, signaled to see off the guests, and then closed his eyes.
Shi Caiying raised her head, looked at Cao Miao for a long time, sighed, put on her mask again, picked up the food table, and retreated.
Ah Hu sat in the corner like a puppet, motionless. After a while, he kneeled up to Cao Miao and stammered, "Lord...... Who am I, Lord? They...... Why ......"
"I don't know who you are, but you are certainly not the son of Old Han." Cao Miao opened her eyes and patted Ah Hu on the shoulder. "If you think about it, do you have any strange memories? Extrapolating from the time, you are about five or six years old when you arrive in the house, so you should have some memory. ”
Ah Hu snorted and cried, and shook his head again and again. "I ...... I don't remember anything. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, think about it." Cao Miao comforted: "No matter who you are, it doesn't matter, it won't be worse than now." You have a good martial arts, whether you are in the army or an assassin, you can live well anywhere, not to mention that there are a few of them behind you. ”
Ah Hu panicked and didn't know what to do. He followed Cao Miao, except for practicing martial arts, he never thought about anything else, and suddenly asked him to leave Cao Miao and follow a group of people who didn't know the details to Liaodong, he didn't know what to do, and he panicked inexplicably.
"I don't want to. For as long as I can remember, I have followed the Lord, waited for the Lord, and left the Lord, and I did not know what else I could do. ”
Cao Miao couldn't cry or laugh, kicked Ah Hu with her foot, and asked him to wash and sleep. What does crying and crying look like, others saw it, and thought that he had some special habit and bullied Ah Hu.
Ah Hu wiped away his tears. Cao Miao sat alone in the cabin, and his mind flashed scenes related to Ah Hu as if he was playing a movie. He realized early on that Shi Caiying was related to Ah Hu, but he never found further evidence. Just now, he took the opportunity to trick Shi Caiying, which can be regarded as confirming his conjecture. But what their relationship is, he still doesn't know.
Suddenly, he sat up, his eyes rolling, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He raised his hand and tapped on the bulkhead. "Hu, have you slept?"
"Nope." Ah Hu replied.
"Get up, let's go out."
