The loud noise coming from the craftsman's workshop alarmed the people in the vicinity.

Many people came out of their homes and craned their necks to see what was really going on.

There was only one explosion, and they didn't find anything unusual after watching it for a long time.

Just as he was looking, someone shouted, "Childe is out!" ”

Hearing that Cao Shuo was coming, the crowd spread out on both sides of the road to make way for him.

Walking through the crowd, Cao Shuo noticed that everyone's eyes were a little strange.

After crossing the street, the people still did not return home, and their eyes were still looking at him.

"Have you noticed that the people look strangely?" Cao Shuo asked Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao.

"Maybe it's that loud bang just now." Deng Zhan said: "The craftsman's workshop is in the market, and it would be strange if such a big movement would not alarm the people." ”

"That's right." Cao Shuo said: "If the people are alarmed, trouble will follow. It's time to consider relocating the craftsman's workshop overseas. ”

"Penglai has been used to store ordnance." Deng Zhan asked, "Where does Gongzi plan to relocate the craftsman's workshop?" ”

"There are countless small islands overseas, just find a place to settle them that won't be overwhelmed by the tide." Cao Shuo said: "For example, most of them have been pacified today, and only Xiliang, Hanzhong, Yizhou, Jiaozhou and other places have not been taken. ”

"Ma Teng's letter was sent to Xiliang, and Ma Chao should not go against the Cao family again." Deng Zhan said: "Childe doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"I'm not worried about Ma Chao." Cao Shuo said: "What really worries me is Han Sui. Although Ma Chao is brave, Han Sui is a battle-hardened veteran after all. Once Han Sui knew that Ma Chao had killed Zhang Song, how could he not strike first? ”

Deng Zhan didn't say anything more.

Cao Shuo was worried about something, he could probably figure it out.

Ma Teng's letter was sent to Xiliang, and Ma Chao was mostly accepted.

If Ma Chao could defeat Han Sui, of course, it would be great.

If it is really unfortunate to be said by Cao Shuo, Xiliang will completely fall into the hands of Han Sui.

has turned against the Cao family, Han Sui will no longer have any scruples, and the battle against Xiliang must be fought!

Cao Shuo and Deng Zhan were talking, and Zhu Ao next to him was still as before, as if he hadn't heard what they were saying at all, but he couldn't stop turning his head to look at the side, beware of someone rushing out of the road.

When they arrived at the craftsman's workshop, it was already a little dark.

After a while, it was completely dark.

Except for the people living near the craftsman's workshop who were disturbed by the sound of the explosion and ran onto the streets, Cao Shuo and the others passed through the places where their homes were closed, and there were not even half pedestrians on the road.

"Do you feel that the night in Shouchun is too cold?" Cao Shuo asked Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao.

"It's just cold here." Deng Zhan replied: "The streets near Lingyun Pavilion are very lively. ”

Under Cao Shuo's rule, all the cities and Lingyun Pavilion are benchmark buildings.

Some cities that don't have Lingyun Pavilion even try to let it open a branch there.

"When does it usually get so busy over there?" Cao Shuo asked.

"About a time later." Deng Zhan said: "Although the night market is not big, it has everything. Some people who live outside the city bring their belongings, and if they don't sell them out during the day, they go there at night to set up stalls. ”

"I want to see everything you said." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "It's still early, let's go over and have a look." ”

"If Childe goes there, I'm afraid it will cause a commotion." Deng Zhan said: "When the people who set up stalls see their sons, how dare they be like in the past? ”

"I'm like a beast of prey." Cao Shuo said: "If it really disturbs the people, we will ask for a private room in Lingyun Pavilion with a view of the street, I want to see what the night market in Shouchun looks like." ”

Cao Shuo insisted on going to the night market, and Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao had to accompany him.

Before they came to that street, Cao Shuo and the others saw a bright light in the distance.

Lanterns hang from wooden poles on both sides of the road.

Lanterns lining the entire street illuminate the street as if it were daytime.

Before Cao Shuo came to Shouchun, the people had the habit of going to bed early.

The night was quiet and desolate, and even if they didn't want to sleep, the people didn't know what to do.

Cao Shuo founded Lingyun Pavilion in Xudu, and he once brought up the surrounding night markets.

It's just that there are not so many vendors in the night market in Xudu, but the shops on the side of the road are open all night to welcome customers.

Getting closer and closer to the street, Cao Shuo saw that there were already many stalls on both sides of the road, and some people visiting the night market were picking out what they needed in front of the stalls.

When he was about to reach the corner of the street, Cao Shuo heard someone on the street shouting: "Childe is here." ”

The people, who were busy with their own business, stopped.

One by one, they looked at Cao Shuo.

When Cao Shuo came to this street, the people gave way to both sides of the road and made way for him.

No one saluted Cao Shuo.

When Shouchun was first occupied, Cao Shuo told the people that when he walked on the street, people did not need to salute, let alone kneel.

Although there was no etiquette, the people looked at Cao Shuo with supreme reverence.

After all, it was Cao Shuo who changed their lives and brought them peaceful and prosperous days.

When he came to the gate of Lingyun Pavilion, Cao Shuo dismounted, and the steward greeted him.

"It's so late, why is Childe here?" The steward bowed to Cao Shuo and asked.

"I just left the craftsman's workshop, and suddenly I remembered to come here to have a look." Cao Shuo asked, "Is there a private room facing the street?" ”

"The private room is really gone." The steward said, "But the girls' rooms have a street front. ”

"Isn't it too much to go to the girl's boudoir?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

"Whose room did Childe go to, won't her face be radiant in Lingyun Pavilion in the future?" The steward said, "My fear is that as soon as the news spreads, the girls will rush to invite their son to their room. ”

"Let's go inside." Cao Shuo smiled and waved his hand.

The steward stepped aside and said, "Childe, please!" ”

Entering the Lingyun Pavilion, Cao Shuo found that the hall on the first floor was already full of guests.

When the guests saw Cao Shuo coming, they got up one after another.

Cao Shuo ignored them and went upstairs with the steward.

The rooms of the girls of Lingyun Pavilion were all on the top floor, but there was a passage between them and the private room.

Passing by the door of the private room he used to come to, Cao Shuo heard someone inside shouting for five or six drinks.

"These people are really noisy, and they can be heard clearly from outside." Walking past the private room, Cao Shuo said with a smile.

"If Childe thinks they're noisy, I'll go and drive them out." Zhu Ao said.

"That's what I said." Cao Shuo said: "How can you disturb their drinking Yaxing because of the suspicion's noise? ”

Cao Shuo didn't plan to drive the people in the house away, so Zhu Ao stopped talking.
