That night, Cao Shuo and others stayed outside the city.

As soon as dawn came, they left the village.

When staying overnight, Cao Shuo once took out a silk silk and asked the villagers if anyone had seen it.

The villagers had never seen this piece of silk, and no one had seen any black shadows.

Unable to find out the origin of the silk, Cao Shuo didn't ask any more, and returned to Wu County with Deng Zhan, Zhu Ao and others early the next morning.

Before they arrived at Sun's house, Zhao Yun and Chen arrived and came over.

"Childe." The two saluted Cao Shuo, and Zhao Yun whispered: "Zhou Yu came early in the morning and reminded the prince not to forget to go to the banquet at noon." ”

"He's very impatient." Cao Shuo asked, "No one asked where Madame went?" ”

"The old lady sent someone to ask." Zhao Yun replied: "We said that we followed Gongzi out of the city, so there is no follow-up." ”

"Anyway, the old lady always thinks about me." Cao Shuo said: "It is also appropriate to give her an explanation. You and I will go and say hello to the old lady first. ”

Zhao Yun and the others responded, and followed Cao Shuo to Sun's house.

When he arrived at Sun's house, Cao Shuo went straight to Mrs. Wu's residence.

Hearing that Cao Shuo was coming, Mrs. Wu instructed the maid to invite him in.

Seeing that only Cao Shuo came, Mrs. Wu asked in surprise, "Why didn't Shang Xiang come?" ”

"Back to my mother-in-law." Cao Shuo said: "Last night I sent my wife on the boat to Jiangbei. ”

"Huh?" The old lady was stunned: "Why is Zirong in a hurry to send her to Jiangbei." ”

"I'm just looking out for my wife's safety." Cao Shuo replied: "Liu Xuande always thinks about harming me, I'm in Jiangdong, and I don't know what he will do behind him." I don't have many guards here in Jiangdong, and it is still difficult to protect me alone, if there are more wives, I am afraid that we will both be killed by Liu Xuande. After much thought, I consulted with my wife, obtained her consent, and sent her away overnight. ”

"Let her go back first and don't say a word to me." Mrs. Wu said with some reproach: "Since Shang Xiang has already left, I can't say anything more." When does Zirong plan to return to Jiangbei. ”

"Actually, I'm going to leave today." Cao Shuo said: "It's just that Zhou Gongjin invited me to the banquet without interruption, so I didn't leave immediately. I came to see my mother-in-law, firstly to say goodbye, and secondly, to say goodbye to my mother-in-law. ”

"You can be a good monk Xiang, as for Liu Xuande, I will tell Zhongmou that if you want him to stay away from the villain, you can't cause trouble to our Jiangdong." Mrs. Wu said.

"With his mother-in-law here, Wu Hou must know what to do and what not to do." Cao Shuo bowed down and said, "If my mother-in-law has no other instructions, I will retire first." ”

Leaving Mrs. Wu's residence, Cao Shuo went back to the room to rest for more than an hour, and seeing that it was about to be noon, Deng Zhan said outside the door: "Son, Lu Su asked to see him, saying that Zhou Gongjin had set up a banquet and was waiting for him." ”

"What time is it?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's noon." Deng Zhan replied.

"Please wait a moment, Gong Lu, I'll be here in a moment." Cao Shuo commanded.

After getting up, Cao Shuo felt much better than when he returned to Wu County in the morning.

Out of the room, he asked Deng Zhan, who was guarding the door, "Where is Lu Su?" ”

"Just wait in the next room." Deng Zhan asked, "Do you want me to invite him?" ”

"Bring him here." Cao Shuo said.

Deng Zhan walked into a room not far from them and led Lu Su to Cao Shuo.

Seeing Cao Shuo, Lu Su bowed and saluted: "Lu Su has seen the general." ”

"The title of general sounds awkward!" gave Lu Su a return salute, Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Lu Gong still calls me Gongzi, I always feel that Gongzi sounds closer." ”

"Childe." Lu Su said: "The governor has already prepared a banquet, just waiting for the prince to go to the banquet." ”

"Originally, I was going to go back, but Gong Jin was so gracious that I had to refrain and go back to his banquet." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I hope Gongjin can also pay as much attention to affection as I do." ”

Lu Su was originally relatively generous, and after listening to Cao Shuo's words, his face showed a trace of unnaturalness.

Seeing something on his face, Cao Shuo ordered to the side: "Come with me to the banquet." ”

With Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi and others, Cao Shuo, accompanied by Lu Su, went to the restaurant where Zhou Yu held a banquet.

When they came to the restaurant, Zhao Yun and the others were about to follow, but several Jiangdong soldiers stopped them: "The governor of the capital has an order, except for the king of the five states, no one is allowed to go." ”

"They are all my generals, do they have to wait here?" Cao Shuo asked with a cold face.

"Childe, why don't we go back." Chen Zhi said: "Zhou Yu is really rude to do this. ”

"Okay, go back!" Cao Shuo turned around and was about to leave.

Lu Su hurriedly stopped him, and said with a smile: "Childe is angry, the governor didn't call a few people over today, but he just wanted to accompany Childe to drink and talk about old feelings. ”

"But I can't leave my generals here and go to the banquet alone." Cao Shuo said: "They can't go in, so I won't go up anymore." Leave! ”

"Childe stays!" Lu Su hurriedly said: "Actually, the Metropolitan Governor has already opened another table to entertain several generals. ”

"Take a few generals to the banquet." Lu Su commanded a Jiangdong guard.

"We're not going, we're right next to Childe." Zhao Yun glared at Lu Su: "If you want to separate us, is it an attempt to disadvantage Gongzi?" ”

"How could General Zhao say such a thing." Lu Su's smile was already a little sad, and he said to Cao Shuo: "Gongzi and Dadu Governor are also old friends, don't they even trust each other?" ”

"Since Lu Gong said so, then I will go up alone, but I have to entertain Zilong and the others." Cao Shuo said to Lu Su.

He was willing to go up alone, and Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief.

With Zhao Yun and others present, it is really impossible to do anything to Cao Shuo.

"Childe ......" Chen Zhi wanted to say something to Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo waved his hand and said: "Gongjin and I are not outsiders, he shouldn't harm me, you stay here for a feast, just don't drink too much, we have to return to Jiangbei in the afternoon." ”

Although they were still worried, Chen Zhi and the others saw that Cao Shuo was full of confidence, so it was not good to say more.

Cao Shuo had told them before that it would not be a good banquet for Zhou Yu to invite him to a banquet.

Without any preparations, Cao Shuo would not have been able to come to the banquet.

But even if you are prepared, it is still dangerous to go alone.

Zhao Yun and the others glanced at each other.

The Jiangdong guard said, "Generals, please come with me. ”

"We're just waiting here." Zhao Yun said: "The son is not here, what kind of banquet are we drinking?" ”

Zhao Yun and the others were all pale, looking like they were going to kill, and the Jiangdong guards didn't dare to say any more and retreated.
