The only thing that has not changed is Xiahou Xuan, before the expedition, he was the Central Protector, when he went out to temporarily change to the general of Zhengnan, after returning to Luoyang, he handed over the errand of General Zhengnan, and still did the Zhonghu Army, it seems that he has come full circle, or standing still.

However, the position of the Central Protector Army in the Chinese army is quite high, second only to the Central Leading Army, if it were not for his special relationship with Cao Shuang, such an important position would not have been his turn at all.

Xiahou Xuan naturally knew the reason for this, so he was not unhappy, on the contrary, Xiahou Xuan was in a very good mood, which showed that Cao Shuang's dependence on him had not decreased.

In fact, this expedition, Xiahou Xuan was simply terrible, he was seriously injured in the first battle, and almost put his life on the battlefield of Anfengdu, and he did not participate in all the major battles of the Southern Army in the future, and when he returned from his injuries, it was already the end of the war and the time for the class to return to the court.

Therefore, in this expedition, Xiahou Xuan, who was pinned on by Cao Shuang, finally just played soy sauce, and spent most of his time on the sickbed, even Xiahou Xuan himself was a little embarrassed, he was not worthy of the name at all.

Fortunately, Cao Shuang didn't care about this, but had been worried about his injury, and now that he had returned to Luoyang safely, Cao Shuang was secretly relieved, otherwise Cao Shuang really didn't know how to face his aunt Deyang Township Lord.

Xiahou Xuan's father Xiahou Shang died early, and the lord of Deyang Township was only accompanied by a son and a daughter, and Xiahou Hui also died seven years ago, and now there is only one relative left under Xiahou Xuan's knees.

After all, this expedition was assigned by Cao Shuang, and if Xiahou Xuan had any accidents, Cao Shuang really couldn't explain to his aunt.

Therefore, after Xiahou Xuan returned safely, Cao Shuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and rearranged Xiahou Xuan to serve as the central protector.

Cao Liang and Xiahou Xuan chatted until it was getting late, and then they said goodbye and left.

When leaving, Cao Liang didn't see Sima Ru again, thinking that she probably went back to Sima Mansion, after all, she ran out secretly, and obviously couldn't stay long.

However, as soon as he left Xiahou Mansion and turned a street, Cao Liang was about to ride his horse to accelerate, when suddenly a slender figure stopped in front of his horse, Cao Liang quickly tightened the reins, otherwise he would crash into it.

Cao Liang took a closer look, isn't this Sima Ru, it turned out that she left Xiahou Mansion and didn't go home, but waited for herself halfway, Cao Liang couldn't help but wonder, he hadn't met Sima Ru before, and there was some small unpleasantness when he met today, and Xiahou Xuan came back and explained it clearly, Sima Ru stopped the road halfway, what did she mean, could it be because of the study, she still didn't give up?

The eldest lady of the Sima family, whose temper is so tricky and weird, Cao Liang really can't guess what she thinks in her heart.

"Miss Sima, what do you mean by this?"

Sima Ru changed his stubborn attitude and said solemnly: "Captain Cao, the little woman has a more important matter, and she wants to ask Captain Cao for verification or two, but I don't know if Captain Cao can tell him directly." ”

Cao Liang looked at the sky, the dark night of winter was coming very quickly, it was still sunset just now, and it was already twilight after a while.

"It's so late, Miss Sima is alone, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, right?"

Sima Ruwan smiled and said, "Who said I was alone? As she spoke, she casually glanced to the left.

Cao Liang noticed that not far from the left behind her, there was a carriage parked, and around the carriage, there were several men in household clothes, all armed with knives, needless to say, they were also Sima Ru's bodyguards.

Cao Liang suddenly realized, Sima Ru said before that she sneaked out, obviously she lied, can she still bring a bodyguard when she sneaks out? Presumably, Sima Ru was going to go elsewhere when she left the mansion, she changed the route without authorization halfway, and let a few bodyguards and carriages wait outside, she went to Xiahou Mansion alone, but visited Xiahou Xuan.

What a noble identity the daughter of the Sima family, if there were no bodyguards, how could she be almost dark and still stay on the streets of Luoyang.

Although it is said that the security of Luoyang is better than other places, but after all, Luoyang City is mixed, what kind of people there are, there are forbidden army patrols during the day, maybe the situation will be better, at night, after the garrison is relaxed, who can guarantee that there are no outlaws who fish in troubled waters.

A delicate little girl like Sima Ru may be the target of those street ruffians.

However, with a few elite bodyguards, Sima Ru had no fear.

Cao Liang said: "Okay, for Uncle Ling's sake, I can answer you a question, but only what I know." ”

It is true that Cao Liang gave Xiahou Xuan face, if it was Sima Ru's father, Sima Shi, Cao Liang was really not ready to give him any face.

However, he still took a precautionary shot in advance, Sima Ru was eccentric, and Cao Liang was really afraid that she would ask any tricky questions, so he stated in advance that he would only answer what he knew, and he would not answer anything he didn't know.

Sima Ru tilted his head, looked at Cao Liang who was riding high on the horse, tilted his head and said, "It's inconvenient for us to talk like this, right?" ”

Cao Liang thought that she would ask a question and come casually to perfunctory, so they parted ways, but he didn't expect Sima Ru to be quite serious, so he had to get off the horse and say, "That's always okay, right?" Just ask, you know everything. ”

Sima Ru's expression was a little solemn, and he said, "Captain Cao, what I want to ask you is, was my mother really poisoned by my father?" ”

Cao Liang was taken aback, obviously he really didn't expect Sima Ru to ask this question directly, he didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Why didn't you ask your uncle about this?" ”

Sima Ru's expression was a little gloomy, and he said, "I have asked a long time ago, but my uncle is always vague, obviously there are some things he doesn't want me to know." ”

Cao Liang was silent, he knew Xiahou Xuan's thoughts very well, after all, the truth was too cruel for this sixteen-year-old girl in the flower season, no matter what, Sima Shi was her father after all, if Sima Ru knew the truth, how would he deal with himself?

Could she have killed Sima Shi to avenge her mother?

This is obviously impossible, and knowing the truth will inevitably make her even more miserable.
