Time passed little by little, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Because of Cao Cao's birthday, the undercurrents of various forces are surging and ready to go. The Prime Minister's Mansion has clearly become a place of right and wrong.

At this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion was filled with a festive atmosphere. The house is full of friends and lanterns. Many servants came and went, and a variety of delicacies were put on the table.

Xu Tian came to the Prime Minister's Mansion early, and while cooperating with Zhang He to arrange protection, he secretly observed the people who came and went.

"Riding Captain Sima Fang is here to congratulate!!"

A waiter in front of the door shouted loudly, and the guard on the side accepted the congratulatory gift. Respectfully introduced Fuchu.

The voice of the chamberlain made the noisy mansion a little quiet, and Xu Tian also followed the prestige.

I saw an old man who was more than eight feet long, with a broad belt, walking quickly but without sound, and a dignified face entered the house. The people around them got up one after another.

"I've seen Sima Gong!!"

The old man politely returned the salute and came to the hall. Sitting in the lobby.

Xu Tian secretly observed this majestic old man, and said secretly in his heart:

"Sima Fang, Sima Yi's father. The future royalty..."

Xu Tian touched his chin and secretly remembered him...

On the periphery of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in all corners of the capital, Wang Hao was personally arranging for the Imperial Forest Army to guard the defense.

When Wang Hao was finishing inspecting a secret outpost, a sergeant suddenly came and whispered a few words in his ear.

Wang Hao frowned and turned to leave. Not far away, an old man who looked like a housekeeper waited respectfully.

"Old butler, how did you get here? How do you know I'm here?! ”

Wang Hao looked at him with some doubts.

"The master asked me to call you back, he has something important to tell you!!"

"Father?! Does it have to be now?! ”

"Yes, now!"

Wang Hao hesitated, turned his head and commanded. Gone with the housekeeper...

In an alley not far away, a black-clad masked figure whispered:

"Go, report to General Xu!!"

A black shadow flashed behind him and disappeared.

Wang Hao pushed the door in, and saw his father sitting at a table full of wine and food in the house. He was smiling at himself.

Wang Hao walked in with some doubts, his father was a little strange today. On weekdays, my father has never been smiling, neatly dressed, and is very strict in his words and deeds. Today, he is dressed in a long robe, and his hair is casually draped. A full dish of food and drinks is waiting for you.

After sitting down a little crampedly, Wang Ling personally poured a glass of wine for Wang Hao.

"The child remembers that my father has not been drinking for a long time."

Wang Ling looked at Wang Hao kindly, at this moment he did not look like an old politician who had been in the officialdom for decades. It's just an old man who is having a meal with his son as usual.

"Hao'er, my father is very strict with you on weekdays. Even if you move and admonish, you are very sorry to go to your father's heart, but your father just wants you to be a good person and make a career, so that you can glorify our ancestors for the Wang family!! ”

Wang Ling said softly.

Wang Hao's eyes were a little moist, and it was the first time that his father had spoken to him like this. Although I felt very strange, the long-lost warmth touched Wang Hao's heart.

"The child never blames the father, the child knows that the father is for the good of the child!!"

Wang Ling was also in tears, and nodded slowly.

"In the past, I always felt that you were cursing up with Cao Cao and flattering him. Now I know your good intentions. You are all for our Wang family, so many years, you have worked hard!! ”

Wang Hao has never been so happy as he is today, and his efforts have always been looked down upon by his father. But he is still doing what I am doing, and now my father can suddenly understand himself, and the grievances that have been suppressed for a long time suddenly become happy.

Wang Hao picked up the wine bottle in front of the table, raised his head and drank it all.

Wang Ling immediately poured it for him again. Putting down the wine jug, Wang Ling suddenly asked:

"Hao'er, this time you are fully responsible for the defense of the Prime Minister's birthday, have all arrangements been made?! This is the trust of the Cheng to our Wang family, so he let you go. You can't live up to the Prime Minister!! ”

"Father rest assured, the child has arranged very carefully this time. In order to prevent accidents, this time the entire Imperial Forest Army except for the prime minister himself and the talisman in my hand. No one can mobilize them, not even if I don't have a talisman myself. In this way, all accidents are eliminated. They are like iron men who are destined to die in every corner. No one can break through them. ”

Wang Hao said with some pride, he rarely chatted with his father so freely.

Wang Hao didn't lie, this time he thought about it for a long time. The defense arrangements are very thorough, and there is basically no mistake, and the only possible surprise is the movement of the Royal Forest. Problems can easily arise if someone disrupts the armament and evades inspections by official position or other means. So he personally went to Cao Cao to ask for only the military talisman and not the person, so that all possibilities were eliminated.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao couldn't help but touch the talisman he wore in his robe.

Wang Ling smiled slightly.

"That's good, my father is old. In the future, this family will all depend on you, come, toast you for your father!! ”

Wang Hao hurriedly stood up and respectfully drank with his father. Maybe he was in too much of a hurry, and Wang Hao felt that his body was a little out of control. Shaking his head vigorously, Wang Hao sat down with a smile.

"Hao'er, maybe you have always been right, or maybe your father has always been shaking the tree. But if you don't try, how do you know who's right and who's wrong? This time, the father can't stand you!! ”

Wang Ling said bitterly.

Wang Hao couldn't understand his father's words, and was in doubt, when suddenly there was an irresistible sleepiness in his head. Like a tide, Wang Hao propped up the table with both hands, desperately trying to stand up. But his body seemed to be tied to a thousand pounds of boulders, and he couldn't move.

He looked at the wine bottle on the table and suddenly looked up. Look at my father.

Wang Ling slowly stood up and came to his side. He lovingly touched his head, reached into his robe with his left hand, and took out the tiger-shaped talisman.

"Good boy, sleep. When you wake up, it'll all be over!! ”

Wang Hao finally fell to the ground, before his eyes were closed. He still wanted to grab Wang Ling, and struggled to shout the last two words in his mouth.

"Father's ........."

Wang Ling walked out of the room with the talisman in his hand. He said to the butler who came:

"Wang Feng, take this talisman and go and inform all the Royal Forest Army in the city. Without an order, you must not move without permission, and those who violate the order will be killed!! ”

Butler Wang Feng left quickly...

An hour later, Xu Chu quietly came to the surveillance point that monitored the palace.

One of the men in black quickly stepped forward and got down on one knee.

"General, Wang Hao never came out after returning home. Only Wang Feng, the housekeeper who brought him back, left, and Wang Ling didn't leave a step!! ”

Xu Chu nodded and did not speak. just looked at the gate of the palace coldly.

And at this moment, it is less than a hundred miles outside the city of Xudu. Yuan Tanzheng personally led 3,000 seemingly old and weak soldiers to drive thousands of sheep slowly towards Xudu......

Hundreds of miles behind him, Guo Tuzheng led 30,000 elite soldiers. Day and night, quietly following all the way.

The wind and clouds are reversed, and the undercurrents are surging. Everything seems to be going perfectly as planned...
