When Lao Cao heard this, he said curiously: "Ye Zhiqiu? How did he get here? ”

"The villain doesn't know either, Lord Ye didn't go through the main door, he came in from the side door."

"Let's go, let's see."

Lao Cao actually felt that the prince came a little unusually today, and it was okay for this unfortunate lord to be uninformed in advance, but his face was obviously in a bad mood. I probably wanted to relieve my boredom, so I came here to find my son to drink.

But how did this Ye Zhiqiu get up?

Although since he moved here, Ye Zhiqiu was nominally the prince's boss in the Ministry of Rites, so he came to drink with the prince every once in a while. He, like himself, also hid his identity for the prince, but the prince always pulled him to come, and he never took the initiative to come over, and why did he come in through the side door today?

How did he know that Ye Zhiqiu had actually been eyeing the Cao Mansion for a long time, and every time the prince passed by the Ye Mansion and went to the Cao Mansion and was seen by his subordinates through the crack in the door, he would immediately report it to Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu's sense of smell is quite sensitive, today he heard that the prince not only came in a hurry, but also left all his entourage outside, and even the prince did not bring it in, his heart became suspicious, plus the prince had just asked him about the pigeon harrier, he concluded that today was different from usual.

After a little thought, he ordered his subordinates to take a small barrel of treasures from the wine cellar, changed into an inconspicuous dress, and personally carried the wine to avoid the gate of the prince, and knocked on the door through the side door.

When he saw Lao Cao coming to greet him, he said with a smile: "Lord Cao, I got a barrel of good wine in Nanshi, and I wanted to drink with Lord Cao and Master Cao, because I happened to walk to the side door of Cao's Mansion, so I knocked on the door and disturbed me, don't blame me for being abrupt." ”

"How could it be, Lord Ye is serious." Lao Cao's heart was different, secretly thinking that you are really abrupt, the prince is sitting with my son, but you can't disturb the good interest of the two of them.

Ye Zhiqiu saw that Lao Cao only took wine and not stubble, and deliberately asked, "What...... Master Cao ...... today. Not very convenient? ”

"Uh......" Lao Cao didn't want to beat around the bush, so he simply said: "Lord Ye, in fact, just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly came over, and he was sitting in the Dongnuan Pavilion, saying that he wanted to drink with the two dogs......

"Oh, I see." Ye Zhiqiu's smile only froze for a moment

He smiled and said, "I haven't been in front of the gate, so I haven't seen His Royal Highness the Prince's car." Since His Highness doesn't want to be bothered, then we naturally have to be interesting, hey...... It's a pity that this good wine is not a good one. ”

Ye Zhiqiu is a first-class member after all, and Lao Cao has been helped by him several times, and he does not dare to slack off on him. What's more, others kindly sent wine, but they gave people a closed door, which was too ruthless, and laughed at the moment: "Since it is good wine, how can you brush Lord Ye's mind, if you don't dislike it, why don't we have a few drinks in this secluded place in the backyard?" They're small and let them have their own fun. ”

Ye Zhiqiu's face was happy, "It's so good." ”

The crown prince was in the east, so Lao Cao took Ye Zhiqiu to the west, as far away as possible.

Ye Zhiqiu saw that Lao Cao had taken him so far away from Dongnuan Pavilion, and began to think about the next step in his heart.

The two poured wine, exchanged a few words, and began to chat about side dishes.

Ye Zhiqiu's mind was in the east, but he didn't mention the prince, wanting to capture the original was his forte, and he had to speak without showing any traces.

"As the saying goes, the tiger father has no dog, and Lord Cao's son is strong in martial arts, which is in line with this sentence, and he will be able to inherit his father's business in the future."

"Where, where, it's just some superficial work, and it's not eye-catching." Lao Cao thought about it, how did he know that my son was strong in martial arts? So he asked, "Lord Ye has seen my son practice martial arts?" ”

"Oh, I haven't seen it, but one day when I went home, I occasionally saw Cao Gongzi leap into the air and jump from outside the walls of Cao's Mansion to the courtyard, which is not something ordinary people can do, it must be the result of years of martial arts."

Lao Cao was taken aback: "Lord Ye is talking about that little bastard...... Sneaking off the wall? ”

"Oops, I seem to have said something I shouldn't have said." Ye Zhiqiu thought for a while and said, "Well, what I just said was that I only saw him jump from outside the courtyard to the courtyard, but I didn't say that I saw him jump out. ”

Lao Cao thought to himself, doesn't this mean anything, this little bastard actually sneaked out to play while I wasn't paying attention!

Ye Zhiqiu saw that Lao Cao was a little stunned, laughed, and persuaded: "Young people can't hold back, it's a big deal, my family is a girl and often goes to the market to show up, what's more."

Besides, Cao Gongzi is still a martial arts practitioner, just jumping off the wall. ”

"That being said...... Or thanks to Lord Ye for telling me, I'll go back and do it well, uh...... Tell me about him! Lao Cao has already begun to think about what to use to beat his son.

Ye Zhiqiu drank a cup of himself, and suddenly his face sank, and he sighed sullenly.

"Alas, in fact, like Cao Gongzi, although he is a little naughty, it is not a big deal after all, after all, he has a deep relationship with Lord Cao's father and son, which is enough to make me envious."

Lao Cao thought about it, what does this mean? Didn't you think of Su Xiaochen?

He cautiously asked, "Master Su...... Still no news? ”

Ye Zhiqiu was obviously extremely frustrated, took another drink and waved his hand, as if he didn't want to mention it.

Lao Cao has always been guilty of Su Xiaochen's disappearance, so if he can't mention it, he won't mention it, but he is always inevitably weak for Ye Zhiqiu, he saw that Ye Zhiqiu didn't speak, so he was there for a while, and he drank a glass with him.

After a while, Ye Zhiqiu's face was red, and he looked at the wine bottle and said: "When he was at home before, he was always a very obedient and well-behaved child, I thought I knew his temperament, so I was very relieved of him." But he didn't know when he was so delusional that he wouldn't come back and wouldn't come back, neither telling me where he was, nor why he had left home. Now that the blue sea is in chaos, every time my insider and I think of him, we are so worried that we can't sleep at night. The child who was easy to raise was never heard from like this. It can be seen that this child's heart is incomprehensible to be a parent......"

Lao Cao knew that although Ye Zhiqiu and Su Xiaochen were uncles and nephews, they were like father and son, so he immediately comforted: "Master Su is an extremely smart person, even if something happens, he will turn evil into good fortune, and he didn't come back...... Maybe what's the problem? I'm sure I'll be back when it's settled. The swallows still fly south and return to the nest to remember the old love, let alone us? ”

"Lord Cao is wrong in what he said," Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said: "You don't know, if this child is stupid, such as my daughter, although it is worrying, she will never do something too out of line." On the contrary, those children who usually look obedient and smart may one day deviate from your expectations. ”
