Cao Shuo and Chen Zhi were talking in the house, and Deng Zhan pushed the door and walked in.

"Childe." Glancing at Chen Zhi, Deng Zhan said, "I just got the news that Miss Yuan went out of the city. ”

"What is she doing out of town?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I brought more than a dozen personal maids, as if I was going out of the city on horseback." Deng Zhan replied.

"Call a few people, and we'll go out of town." Cao Shuo asked Deng Zhan, "Where did Miss Yuan go, do you know?" ”

"I'm sure I'll find it." Deng Zhan said: "After the son ordered, I will send someone to follow behind, and the news will be transmitted back at any time." ”

"Let's go!" Cao Shuo stood up: "Call Zhu Ao too, let's go out of the city for a long time!" ”

Chen Zhi and the others followed Cao Shuo out of the study.

Deng Zhan asked people to call Zhu Ao, and selected more than a dozen dragon-patterned knights to leave the residence.

On horseback, Cao Shuo walked in front.

Before he even got out of the street, he saw Yuan Shang coming over with more than a dozen people.

"Where is Zirong going?" Seeing Cao Shuo, Yuan Shang asked.

"It's a lot of panic in the city." Cao Shuo said: "I want to go out of the city and come back before dark." ”

"I happened to be here to discuss things with Zirong." Yuan Shang said: "Since you are going out of the city, I will accompany you!" ”

"My brother has so many things to do, and he still finds time to accompany me." Cao Shuo said: "It really scares me. ”

"You and I are not outsiders." Yuan Shang said: "What is there to be afraid of? ”

Turning the horse's head and accompanying Cao Shuo to the city gate, Yuan Shang said: "I have seen what Zirong asked people to send. ”

"Can you still get into my brother's eyes?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's not just in the eyes." Yuan Shang was an eye-opener for me.

He leaned closer to Cao Shuo: "Can you tell me where you got those things?" ”

"Does my brother know that I have a Lingyun Pavilion under my command?" Cao Shuo asked.

Yuan Shang shook his head and said to Cao Shuo: "I only know that you have an immortal camp under your command, and I don't know anything else. ”

"It costs money to raise soldiers." Cao Shuo said: "Since there is such a thing as money, it is indispensable for everything. I want to play some elegance and tell the world that I don't care about money. But so many soldiers waited for dinner with their mouths open, it was really not elegant. It can only be used to let people organize Lingyun Pavilion. ”

"So Lingyun Pavilion is specifically making money for Zirong?" Yuan Shang asked again.

"Of course." Cao Shuo whispered: "They not only have to make money, but they also have to collect all kinds of kitsch gadgets for me, and the ones I gave to my brother were obtained by Lingyun Pavilion." ”

"I heard that Zirong dug up the tomb of King Liang." Yuan Shang smiled and asked, "Didn't those treasures get them from King Liang?" ”

"Of course not!" Cao Shuo said seriously: "I really discovered the tomb of King Liang, but I didn't touch it. ”

"The rumors are not like that." Yuan Shang said: "I heard that Zirong moved the tomb of King Liang......

"If my brother doesn't believe me, come with me to the tomb of King Liang one day." Cao Shuo said: "The things inside are guaranteed to be the same, and all of them are in good condition." ”

"I'm going to see something." Yuan Shang waved his hand and said, "Zirong said no, it must be nothing." Could it be that I don't believe in my own brother-in-law, but I believe in others? ”

"That's it!" Cao Shuo said: "What outsiders say, I never go to my heart, my brother is my own brother, if you also doubt that I can get out of digging graves, I will be wronged!" ”

"Don't!" Yuan Shang smiled: "I just asked casually, Zirong don't go to my heart." ”

"That's right, Zirong." Yuan Shang said: "I came here for something that I need your help with. ”

"Brother, please speak." Cao Shuo said: "As long as I can do it, I will do my best!" ”

"Our Yuan family is beating Gongsun Zhan, and Zirong also knows it." Yuan Shang said: "Recently, there is a group of thieves who have traveled between Hebei and Hedong, and Zirong can ...... it."

"I'll bring three hundred." Cao Shuo said with a bitter face: "These three hundred people are only close guards, and their battles are too far behind the immortal camp. Now the thieves are gathering, to say the least, hundreds or thousands, they occupy the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, my brother asked me to go, I'm afraid it will be ......"

"Zirong said the same ......" Yuan Shang pinched his chin and thought for a while and said: "Since that's the case, forget it......"

"Most of the thieves in Hebei and Hedong are remnants of the Baibo and Yellow Turbans." Cao Shuo said: "Back then, most of the Baibo Yellow Turbans followed Yang Feng and Han Xian to serve the Han family, and there were also a few who refused to serve and caused chaos in various places. There are many of them, thousands of them when they gather, and groups of three or five when they are scattered. Not to mention that I don't have the ability to exterminate them, even if the Yuan family and the Cao family go out, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything to them. ”

"What's more......" In the end, the expression on Cao Shuo's face became more and more embarrassed: "Between Hebei and Hedong, it is the boundary of the Yuan family, and I am running around with my troops there, so there is something wrong." ”

Yuan Shang nodded: "Zirong doesn't need to say it anymore, this matter was explained to me by my father." I just didn't think of it that much, so I went back to my father! ”

He arched his hand and said, "Thanks to Zirong's reminder, otherwise I would have really led the troops." ”

Yuan Shang turned his horse and left with his guards.

Seeing him go away, Chen Zhi said: "Gongzi has just arrived in Yecheng, and Yuan Shang wants you to help him exterminate the thieves. ”

"Uncle Zhi thinks he really wants me to exterminate the thieves?" Cao Shuo asked.

"If not, why did he come here to mention this?" Chen Zhi asked in amazement.

"Test me." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "If I am really willing to lead troops to exterminate the thieves, I just don't treat myself as an outsider, and I am a threat to him and the Yuan family." If I refuse directly, and I don't treat him as a brother and refuse to contribute to him, it will not end well. ”

"In this way, Yuan Shang has set up a dead end for his son." Chen Zhi said.

"It's not a dead end." Cao Shuo said: "If I told him the reason why I couldn't fight, he wouldn't think much about it." ”

"Fortunately, it's a childe, if you were someone else, I'm afraid you have fallen into the trap." Chen Zhi said.

Cao Shuo grinned and said to Chen Zhi and the others: "I came to Yecheng this time, but many people have reminded me that I must be cautious......

Everyone didn't say anything, they all nodded.

When they came to the city gate, the officer of the Yuan Army guarding the city gate stepped forward to interrogate a few words, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so they did not stop Cao Shuo and the others.

Out of the city, Cao Shuo asked Deng Zhan, "In which direction is Miss Yuan riding a horse?" ”

Pointing to the west, Deng Zhan said: "There is a flat land not far ahead, and Miss Yuan is riding a horse there!" ”

"Let's go!" With a shake of the reins, Cao Shuo instructed everyone: "Accompany me to meet my wife!" ”

Everyone responded and followed Cao Shuo to urge the horse to march.
