Chapter 411: Snowy Night
"What else does Childe command?"
"It's late at night, so don't go overboard. I'm pretending not to see it here, and you have to be funny, if my dad turns around and asks me what I'm doing today......"
Ah Fu immediately understood, and said with a sneer: "Childe hasn't gone anywhere today, so he stays in the study to read." β
"Ahh I don't believe it myself, okay? β
"Uh......" Ah Fu's fart was not filmed, which was very embarrassing.
"Just say I'm not feeling well, I'm asleep."
"Yes, yes, yes! Childe is sleeping, sleeping......"
Cao Xiwen waved his hand with satisfaction, and in a blink of an eye, Ah Fu had disappeared around the corner.
Dad and Uncle Ye have something important?
Isn't it nonsense to talk about the mountains with a wine glass, the emperor has gone to war with his soldiers, and there can still be a fart in this imperial capital.
Cao Xiwen laughed, went back to the room leisurely, lay on the bed and remembered the "maid" just now, and took out the sachet and sniffed it.
Although she is not as beautiful as the female assassin by the river, it is better than fun, why not sneak into the Ye Mansion to tease her one day?
He was thinking so crankily here, laughing to himself a few times when he thought of something interesting, how did he know that Ye Yin was so frightened by him, he fell twice, and stumbled back to Ye Mansion.
Uncle Kang was waiting for Ye Yin at the back door, and when he saw that she didn't come back for a long time, he was anxious to look for her, but suddenly saw her fleeing back to the back door in embarrassment, and shouted anxiously as soon as he came in: "Hurry!" Close the door! "It's like there's a tiger behind it.
Uncle Kang hurriedly closed the door and asked, "Miss, why did you come back?" Oops, how a piece of green is on the hand. β
Ye Yin cried aggrievedly: "What is it on my hands, it hurts in my butt." β
Uncle Kang took the lantern and looked at the bruises, guessing that he had slipped on the ice, and hurriedly said, "I'll help Miss back to the room first, and I'll bring Miss the bone-setting medicine and wine when I turn around." β
Ye Yin was in pain and cold, so she had to reluctantly follow Uncle Kang back to the room, thinking of the thief just now, she hated and scolded: "Damn thief, don't hit me again, otherwise you will definitely look good!" β
Cao Xiwen and Ye Yin went back to their respective homes and didn't mention it, and after Lao Cao and Ye Zhiqiu returned to Cao's mansion, they entered Xinuan Pavilion and discussed the next things there nervously.
Ye Zhiqiu suggested that Lao Cao transfer 5,000 people from the Dragon Scale Army into three layers to surround the southeast corner of the imperial capital, which was very much in line with Lao Cao's wishes.
You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.
Such a three-layer encirclement is a safe mind that is both offensive and defensive.
However, when Lao Cao was about to do this, he was stopped by Ye Zhiqiu again.
"Lord Cao, is this going to pass the order?"
"Isn't it? The soldiers are fast, I arranged the people early, and I will be relieved tomorrow. β
"To whom?"
"Chen Qi, Zheng Lun......" As soon as Lao Cao's words came out, he found that Ye Zhiqiu was smiling strangely, and suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What does Lord Ye mean...... Are these two unreliable? β
"The matter of the Dragon Scale Army is like Lord Cao's family matter, how can I, Ye, speak well, but there is some credibility between the two deputy commanders and adults, and I really don't know. Since what is going on at the moment is a secret matter, it is better for Lord Cao to secretly transfer troops in person, otherwise in case the news leaks out......"
"Lord Ye is extremely right!" Lao Cao nodded and exclaimed, "Oh, Lord Ye is so fine."
It's really condescending to be a civil official, if this is in our Dragon Scale Army, I will definitely be able to join the army......" As soon as the words came out, I felt that it was not right, joining the army was just a third-grade military attachΓ©, how could it be compared to Ye Zhiqiu's official rank from the first grade.
Ye Zhiqiu was too lazy to care about Lao Cao's stupidity, and advised: "Lord Cao, it's late tonight, so I can only give up, so it's better to go back to the Dragon Scale Barracks early tomorrow morning and make arrangements." In order to prevent the two deputy commanders from detecting the transfer of troops, please ask Lord Cao to find a reason to separate them. β
Lao Cao thought for a while and asked, "It's not difficult to break up those two, but what's so important?" β
"Since tomorrow will bear the brunt of the southeast corner of the imperial capital, then the two of them can be sent to the northwest corner. Such as...... I remember that the firearms battalion of the Dragonscale Army is not in the northwest corner, why not send them to the routine inspection point tomorrow? β
"Good!" Lao Cao agreed, but his resolute expression lasted only for an instant, and he showed great hesitation.
"Lord Ye...... In case, I mean in case...... If the prince really wants to be unfavorable to us, will we really have to turn our faces? β
Ye Zhiqiu said: "Lord Cao, I only ask you, if you don't turn your face, will you have a way to live?" β
One sentence made Lao Cao extremely worried.
"Okay......" Lao Cao's tone was full of helplessness.
"There is another thing, tomorrow the fake prince will come over, according to common sense, we will divide the priority at the banquet, and he should be in the main position, but Cao Gongzi is still completely unaware, and when he sees him in a high position tomorrow, he will be suspicious."
"That's right, what can you do about Lord Ye?"
"There is a snow house in the backyard of my house, half pavilion and half house, although it is not magnificent, it is still an elegant place. There is a square charcoal stove in the middle of the snow house, the fireside can sit around ten people, regardless of the main and secondary, while the barbecue and drinking on the snow day, while drinking and appreciating the snow, it is very freehand. I plan to set up tomorrow's feast there, and when I sit down, I will cover it up. β
"That's a good idea!" Lao Cao praised repeatedly, thinking, scholars are really good at playing, this Shangshu Mansion may not be as big as my Commander's Mansion, but there are many tricks in it, and I will do something in the backyard to catch up with Ming'er, and go to barbecue and drink wine with my son.
In order to stabilize Lao Cao's mind, Ye Zhiqiu only teased him with the words of his children's in-laws, which induced Lao Cao to reverie for a while, and forgot the danger of tomorrow for a while, and he couldn't wait to climb this good family business immediately.
Ye Zhiqiu saw that the heat of the conversation had reached seven or eight minutes, and Lao Cao was also a little drunk, so he got up and said goodbye.
When I went out, it was the north wind dancing wildly, and the snow was falling, so that people couldn't open their eyes. Lao Cao personally held an umbrella and sent Ye Zhiqiu back to Ye Mansion, so he was relieved.
He looked at the empty Yanbo Street, exhaled a heavy breath of wine, and suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he and Fa Xiao Li Zhuo sneaked into the nunnery to steal winter dates on such a snowy night.
At that time, the family was always short of a mouthful of food and had nothing to eat, and it was a great pleasure to steal a few dates to eat. Li Zhuo's body is not as strong as him, but his brain is better than him, so the two of them always climb over the wall to steal dates, and Li Zhuo watches the wind from the side. The division of labor is clear and reasonable, and it is natural to succeed repeatedly.
At that time, Li Zhuo would also tell him to steal the bezoars on the outside first, and steal the bezoars inside next time.
"Why?" Lao Cao was puzzled.
"The old nuns look out from the inside, and they won't be suspicious when they see that the dates inside are still there, so that we can steal one more time."
"I see, you've got a good brain."
Lao Cao remembered that Li Zhuo was not proud when he heard this, but sighed.
"What are you sighing for?"
Li Zhuo looked at himself with some pity and said, "I have a good brain, but your brain is not very bright." I don't have bad intentions to harm you, but I can't guarantee that others won't in the future. I'm thinking that if you meet someone as smart as me in the future, you'd better stay away. β
At that time, he and Li Zhuo were only twelve or thirteen years old, but in terms of human sophistication, he was indeed much worse than Li Zhuo.
Stay away?
For example, Ye Zhiqiu?
It's easy to say, if it weren't for Ye Zhiqiu, I wouldn't know what to do. How can you be suspicious and suspicious? After all, he is a person who wants to be a family member of his own children, and he will never have any bad intentions. What's more, he is involved in everything in this matter, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, I want to doubt him, won't I be troubled?
The cold wind blew, Lao Cao stood in the snow and suddenly had a "hiccup", a burst of heating came out, and his stomach was very comfortable.
Speaking of which, I haven't had a drink for a long time, and since I became the commander, I haven't drunk with the brothers in the camp again, and I really miss it.
Lao Cao laughed unconsciously.
Oh, this man, that's weird.
When you are so poor, there is always a group of good brothers who can get together, all of them are only enough to buy a bowl of wine, and you can also drink happily with one sip and one sip of me.
Now there is endless wine in his wine cellar, but the sea bowl of drinking has become a small cup of five yuan, and before a few glasses are down, the person opposite has already praised it in a crepe manner: "Massive, massive!" β
Hai, your mother, I haven't drunk enough.
However, every time I just muttered in my heart, I still smiled on my face and put down the cup, and then accompanied a few words that were not salty or light.
It's not pleasant......
Son, Daddy really doesn't like to deal with readers, regardless of whether they have any fancy intestines or not.
But Daddy always wants you to become a reader.
Dad couldn't tell why.
Is it true that all parents in the world are like this? As long as they feel that a certain type of person has a future, regardless of whether they like it or not, they will force their children to become like that, and they will always say that "golden and jade good words".
It's all for your good.
Xu Shi's father was so confused that he didn't even understand it. That's why I will force you to study for a while, and then pull you to the prince.
It's not easy for you to let yourself go to break into your father, and I feel sorry for your dead mother.
can force you to take the road that your father wants to go, and you don't know where this road leads.
Thinking about it, my father is almost fifty years old, but he hasn't lived to understand it in this life, it's hard to ......
Lao Cao felt that his nose was sore, and he coughed a few times, trying to hold back his tears.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the oil umbrella couldn't cover Lao Cao's burly body, and in a blink of an eye, a layer of white had accumulated on his shoulders.
He simply took the umbrella, took a deep breath, and took advantage of the wine to sing:
"The north wind is tight, and the snow is long at night.
The wind blows the thatched walls and is cold to the bone.
Hungry and hungry,
There is no surplus grain in the cold stove of residual firewood.
Outside the wall, no one is buried,
Inside the walls, they starved to death and wept and mourned.
Don't come to Jingzhou if you are reincarnated,
Where can't you be home? β
The hoarse singing echoed through the streets, swept away with the gust of the north wind, leaving only the figure of a man standing in the wind and snow for a long time.
