The small chamber was filled with a strong musty smell.

It was still noon outside, but inside the chamber could only rely on oil lamps to bring dim light.

Wang Yue was lying on the soft bed, and Cao Shuo was squatting beside him, examining the wound.

"Thank you......" Looking at Cao Shuo, Wang Yue wanted to say thank you.

"Don't move!" Cao Shuo said: "I'll look at the wound first. ”

Wang Yue really didn't move again.

"Is it Han Musk's hand?" Cao Shuo asked the female assassin on the side.

"Yes!" The female assassin replied, "When I was very young, I heard that the emperor was imprisoned here......

"Emperor, how long have you been hanging here?" Cao Shuo asked Wang Yue.

"I don't see the light of day, how long does it take." Wang Yue said: "There are always seven or eight years. ”

"How did you offend Han Musk?" Cao Shuo said: "She is too vicious to you like this. ”

"Woman, indeed, she cannot be offended." was seriously injured, but Wang Yue still laughed: "She followed me back then, and I taught her martial arts, but it's a pity that I am a man after all......"

"Understood!" Cao Shuo said: "The pipa bone has been penetrated, but I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to hold a sword in the future." ”

"I have been wandering for half my life, and I have no martial arts but no chance to make a contribution." Wang Yue said: "What difference does it make if you don't hold a sword?" ”

"Don't worry, I will find the best healer to heal you." Cao Shuo persuaded: "The piercing of the pipa bone is not an incurable disease. ”

With the level of medical care after 2,000 years, as long as there is enough money, the pipa bone may really be cured if it is penetrated.

However, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the medical methods were very simple, and there were no medicines for later generations.

Cao Shuo said this, nothing more than to persuade Wang Yue.

Of course, Wang Yue knew his thoughts: "Childe doesn't need to persuade me, I really don't care." ”

"How does the emperor know that I am a child?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Looking at the son's bearing and speech, he also knows that he must be from a famous family. I don't know which one. ”

"Xu Du Cao's family, I'm the second!" Cao Shuo said.

After saying that, he suddenly grinned.

"What are you laughing at?" Wang Yue asked in surprise.

"Just now, I was quick to talk about the ranking at home." Cao Shuo said: "The second child also has a saying, if you let the emperor know, you will definitely laugh." ”

"What's that?" Of course, Wang Yue didn't know what to say.

Cao Shuo leaned down and whispered an explanation in his ear.

Lying on the bed, Wang Yue really smiled: "Childe's statement, I have never heard of it." ”

"There's a lot more to say, and most of them haven't heard of it." Cao Shuo said to Wang Yue: "Before I came to Yuliangzhou, I didn't expect the emperor to be here, and I didn't bring a carriage. can only be wronged by the emperor first, let people carry it away. ”

"If it weren't for the rescue of my son, I'm afraid I would only be here in this life." Wang Yue said indifferently: "Being able to go out is already a creation, how dare you expect a carriage?" ”

"Please go back to Xudu, there is still a carriage." Cao Shuo instructed Chen Wu: "Arrange for two people to go first, and let them buy a carriage and send it over." ”

Chen Wu responded and arranged for someone to do something.

Cao Shuo ordered the two minions who had just taken refuge in him, and lifted Wang Yue out of the secret room.

The two minions lifted Wang Yue up, and Cao Shuo took a piece of cloth and said to Wang Yue: "Emperor, you have been in the secret room for too long, it is noon outside, and the sun is strong, so you should blindfold your eyes first." ”

"It's good that Childe is in charge." Wang Yue responded.

Cao Shuo personally blindfolded him and waved his hand to the two minions.

The minions carried Wang Yue away.

Chen Wu came to Cao Shuo's side and asked in a low voice, "Childe, what about the five hundred Jingzhou army?" ”

"We'll all have to be escorted when we get back." Cao Shuo said: "Let them go to Xudu with them." ”

"Let them come back when they get to Xudu?" Chen Wu asked.

"Xu Du to Xiangyang, the road is far away, let them come back by themselves, how can I rest assured." Cao Shuo said: "What's more, after they go back, they will cause a lot of trouble for General Cai." ”

"Childe means ......"

Cao Shuo grinned: "I want to keep it for myself." ”

"But after all, they were borrowed by Gongzi...... Chen Wu was stunned.

From Cao Shuo's response, Chen Wu understood that from the time he borrowed troops, he never thought about returning these people.

"Be careful when you speak!" Sure enough, Cao Shuo's expression became serious, and he said to Chen Wu: "The five hundred Jingzhou troops are not objects, they are people, and they are all living men. People, how can you say borrow? Returning them only shows that they are not good enough, not good enough for me to see, and that is the greatest humiliation for them. So I decided to take them back to Xudu! ”

Cao Shuo turned his head and left.

Chen Wu was still at a loss.

Gongzi is also too good at finding reasons, obviously he just doesn't want to return the soldiers, but he can still say that he will return them back so high-soundingly, which is to humiliate the borrowed Jingzhou army......

When Cao Shuo came to Xiangyang, he only brought a dozen people.

By the time he left, it had grown to seven or eight hundred.

There are 500 Jingzhou troops who have not been returned, there are only thirty or forty female assassins in Yuliangzhou, and there are more than 200 minions raised in Yuliangzhou.

These minions all know some swordsmanship, although they are not as skilled as female assassins, and they are not easy for ordinary people to deal with.

"Back in Xudu, what does Childe plan to do with these sisters?" Following Cao Shuo's side, Qingwu asked.

"What else would they do but kill?" Cao Shuo asked.

Qingwu shook her head.

"They kill people for a living, and I can't completely deprive them of their abilities." Cao Shuo said: "But with their current skills, let alone killing all kinds of heroes, even if they kill an ordinary general, it is as difficult as the sky." When I return to Xudu, gather together and train them first......"

"The lord is dead, and no one can train them." Qingwu said: "The swordsmanship we learn is only a little superficial! ”

"Yuliang Chau was originally staffed by manpower, unchanged." Cao Shuo said: "I'll leave it all to you to command, and besides, I may rarely use assassins in the future." What they have to do is not to risk assassination, but to deal with unexpected situations. For example, if someone rebels against the Cao family, I will secretly kill him. In addition, when their training is completed, they can be sent to various places to spy on intelligence. ”

"I see." Qingwu said without confidence: "I'm afraid I won't be able to command ......"

"You are my wife, so you can't even lead two or three hundred people?" Cao Shuo smiled and said, "Don't forget, I will infect you with some skills every night." I can command thousands of troops, of course you can bring out a strong army! ”

Knowing that Cao Shuo was going to talk about the little thing in the bed again, he blushed lightly: "Don't say it, Childe, I already understand." ”

Cao Shuo wanted to continue to tease him, and a carriage came in front of him.

A guard rode his horse first, and when he arrived, he hugged his fist and said to Cao Shuo: "Son Qiyu, the carriage has been found!" ”
