Chapter 175: Mission (Knife Tip Reward Plus Change)
Cao Miao smiled. "You have made a lot of progress in the past few months, and even Longlou can't hear your breath."
Han Dong was also very happy. Not only because of his progress in vomiting, even the gold medal assassin Long Lou of the Huiren House didn't notice his existence, but also because of Cao Miao's trust in him. Cao Miao let him know about the arrangements for Long Lou, but did not let Long Lou know about his existence, which already shows that relatives are estranged and close.
"Taught by the lord, Dong does not dare to slack off for a day."
"Well, your progress is very gratifying, but how many people are like you in the entire school office? How much do you think with your strength can stir up a storm in Jiangdong and prevent Sun Quan from becoming emperor? β
Although Cao Miao's voice was not loud, it was extremely stern. Han Dong didn't dare to speak. He was the initiator of this plan, but now he was pushed to Cao Miao by the Son of Heaven. Although Cao Miao didn't blame him, he blamed himself.
"I know that the School Affairs Department is eager to correct its name, and you, Han Dong, are also eager to make meritorious contributions. But is this something that comes in a hurry? You are involved in the military, which of the generals is not disgusted? How naΓ―ve you are to expect to borrow thorns from the army. Do you think it's your plan, and it's just what Your Majesty wants? Wrong, this is the tacit understanding between Taiwei and Da Sima, they just want you to suffer a loss, fall on your heels, and never stop this idea. β
Han Dong trembled and sweated like rain. He had been ordered to go to Yangzhou to inquire about the news, and he had also been ordered to go to Jingxiang to contact, so he naturally knew that the generals in the army were disgusted with the general intelligence of the school affairs department. This is not one person, but everyone, including the right general Zhang He and Jingzhou Thorn Shi Biqiu Jian.
It's not hard to see why. If the School Affairs Department is in charge of collecting, analyzing, and sorting out military and political intelligence, it will not only be the enemy but also their generals who will be monitored. Zhang He, as a general who was born as a general, was very sensitive to the fact that he was monitored by the school back then. I don't say anything, but I secretly don't know how many stumbling blocks I have made.
When he went deep into Jiangnan to inquire about the news, the school affairs department broke two people, and he himself was in trouble several times and almost died.
"The detailed work in the army cannot be used, you must build your own network. After you go back, apply for a fee from the imperial court, and then rush to Jiangdong to arrange contact points and communication routes. Each line should be connected as much as possible, and there should be a backup plan to make a good choice of contingencies. One of the most important things is to have your own strength in case you need it. β
"Whoa." Han Dong said goodbye. "The sovereign is the best person to preside over the school affairs department. With the sovereign presiding, the school affairs department will definitely be revived. β
"Don't talk about it. This line of work is killing step by step, and no one dares to guarantee that they will survive to the end. Cao Miao sighed. But what you said also makes sense, I can return the jade seal, but I can't shirk my fate. Even if you don't go to Jiangdong, you can't completely stay out of it. β
Han Dong nodded again and again in agreement. He felt that Cao Miao was born to be a member of the school affairs department. If Cao Miao can preside over the school affairs department, the school affairs department will definitely be able to clear its notoriety and make great contributions.
"It's getting late, so go back too." The two styles that I just taught you, practice them well. β
"Whoa." Han Dong bowed again, respectfully bowed, and exited the bedroom.
Cao Miao got out of bed, summoned the knowledgeable and picturesque, and asked Ming Xiahou Xu that he had rested, and then began to practice at night. If you want to practice martial arts, you can't fish for three days and dry your nets for two days.
His courtyard was heavily guarded, and no one knew about his night martial arts.
ββ
Cao Xiu was lying on the hospital bed, and the two maidservants were fanning on the side. In fact, the night was not hot, even a little cold, but he was still irritable.
Cao Miao refused to go to Jiangdong, but instead encouraged Cao Su to rob Sima Yi's daughter, which made him very uneasy. He was not afraid of Cao Miao's provocation in Cao Suzhong, but from his own interests, he really didn't want Cao Miao to become Sima Yi's son-in-law.
This time he was pitted by Sima Yi, of course he couldn't give up, just wait for his illness to recover, return to Yangzhou, and regain his strength. He was grateful to Cao Miao and hated Cao Miao, so he agreed with the plan of the Son of Heaven to let Cao Miao travel to Jiangdong, hoping to take the opportunity to teach Cao Miao a lesson, so that he would know that marching and fighting was not as simple as words, and it was extremely difficult to grasp the other party's movements.
If Cao Miao becomes Sima Yi's son-in-law, Sima Yi will inevitably make an obstacle from it, and even provoke it.
Back then, in order to help Cao Pi fight for succession, they did a lot of things that were unfavorable to Cao Zhi. If Sima Yi changed these things and told Cao Miao, with Cao Miao's crazy nature, I don't know what kind of things would happen.
One thing is for sure, Cao Miao will definitely take revenge. He is not the kind of person like Cao Zhi who swallows his anger and endures humiliation.
Perhaps, robbing Sima Guo and preventing Cao Miao from becoming Sima Yi's son-in-law is not a choice. It's just that how to do it seamlessly and not let people grasp the handle is a headache.
Giving advice is obviously not Cao Xiu's strong point, coupled with the fact that the serious injury has not healed, he is a little exhausted after thinking about it for a long time, and he has to close his eyes to recuperate.
"Ah Weng, do you want to ...... Please Huan Yuanze (Huan Fan) come and listen to his advice? β
Cao Xiu pondered for a long time. "I am a Peishi person, in terms of wisdom, I should take Huan Yuanze as the leader, and you should be closer to him. Long thought, you don't have to make a special trip to invite him, you just take the time to ask him for advice. Be obscure, and don't show your tracks. β
Cao Zhao bowed down to receive the order. "Ah Weng, Desi still wants to go to Yongqiu Mansion to practice martial arts, but what?"
Cao Xiu became more and more anxious. "There are a lot of martial warriors under my command, why do you have to go to Yongqiu Mansion to practice martial arts? This shaft is really unproductive. β
Cao Zhao smiled bitterly and was silent. He knew that Cao Xiu just couldn't get over his face, but in fact, he also knew that those warriors under his command didn't dare to take Cao Xiu seriously, not to mention their martial arts. With Cao Su's innate divine power, if you want to go further and become a top master like Dian Wei and Xu Chu, you really need a sparring partner like Han Hu.
You can't let Cao Su be a ranger like Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and fight with people every day.
Seeing that Cao Xiu was in a bad mood, Cao Zhao didn't say anything more. After retreating, he found Cao Su and asked him to keep a low profile and not publicize it everywhere, lest Cao Xiu know about it and get angry. If possible, just buy Han Hu, just a little slave, just give more money.
Cao Su also felt that it was feasible, and went to Zongzheng Temple to record it happily. Since the last trouble, Zongzheng Temple finally has Zong Zhengqing, a distant clan named Cao Ke. Seeing Cao Su coming to the door, Cao Ke greeted him warmly and went through the formalities for Cao Su as quickly as possible. However, he told Cao Su that Cao Miao might not be in Yongqiu Mansion, and yesterday he came to report, saying that he was going out of the city today, but he didn't say where he was going.
Cao Su didn't dare to slack off, and rushed to Yongqiu Mansion, just in time to meet Cao Miao going out. When I asked, I found out that Cao Miao had been stuffy in the house for a long time, was in a bad mood, and wanted to go out for an autumn trip. He planned to stay outside the city for a few days, and Xiahou Xu accompanied him and provided a place to stay, a manor outside the city.
Cao Su tugged on Cao Miao's reins and asked to go along. Xiahou Xu rolled his eyes, do you have permission to stay outside the city? Besides, it's my family's estate, how do you know I'm willing to receive you? Is our relationship that good? Although my Xiahou Xu has no talent, not everyone is qualified to be my honored guest.
Cao Su was speechless. No matter how arrogant and domineering he was, he had no reason to be a forced guest, so he could only let go of his hand and watched Cao Miao leave.
This is despised. Cao Su was very disappointed.
