There was a faint sound of rude persuasion outside the house, and in the bright study, the bare feet crossed the robe and long skirt on the ground, perhaps a little nervous, Guo Zhao was trembling all over, and the pair of snow-white rounds on his chest were trembling slightly as he walked.

"Put your dress on."

Behind the long case, Gongsun Zhi frowned, put down the brush, his eyes became cold, and looked at the woman who approached, "Lone asked you to hide in Cao Mansion, not for you to warm the quilt." He tapped his fingers on the desk, and Guo Zhao, who heard the voice on the other side, stopped, stood in the light in front of the copper furnace, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover the full twin peaks.

Once upon a time, it was not the first time that such a picture appeared in front of Gongsun Zhi, Stephanie ...... Ren Hongchang...... Counting this Guo Zhao for the third time, which one has no purpose behind each time, he naturally doesn't believe that there are so many good things in this world, he was silent for a moment, probably thinking of the reason, and said in a low voice: "....... You're interceding for Cao Pi, right? ”

In the light of the swaying copper furnace, Guo Zhao hugged his chest, nodded tremblingly, took a deep breath, as if he had mustered up the courage to raise his face, met his cold gaze, opened his lips, and his voice was a little difficult: "King Jin...... The concubine is just a woman, and she doesn't know much about family and country affairs......"

"But chaos, you know?!" Gongsun stopped getting up and walked over with his hands in his hands.

Guo Zhao nodded, and Jin Hai shook.

"The concubine understands..... but I hope that the king of Jin can remember the credit of the concubine body for delivering news to the north for so many years....." Tears fell from her eyes, her nose turned red instantly, and her intermittent voice said: "Can ...... let him live." Immediately, his fingers wiped the tears across his cheeks and lowered his head, "Concubine ..... knows that her husband has made a big mistake, but since his father-in-law died and his brother Cao Ang came back, he has not had a good day, and he will wake up even in a dream...... He was actually afraid in his heart..... afraid that King Jin would suddenly want to kill him one day, and he was also afraid that his eldest brother Cao Ang would kill him. ”

Gongsun Zhi picked up the woman's face, looked at the appearance of Pear Blossom with rain, and smiled: "So, you stripped naked and ran to the lonely study to take this body to atone for him?" ”

The wet red eyes quietly looked at the man in front of him.

"The concubine knows that the King of Jin has just returned from the expedition, and she hasn't vented her energy on the way....." She sniffed, knelt down in front of Gongsun Zhi, and then fell to the ground, "...... deliberately washed her body." Saying that, Guo Zhao raised his lower body a little higher, "I just ask that King Jin can let go of the concubine and husband...... He has nothing left now...... The concubine has nothing, only him, begging the king of Jin to spare his life...... Seeking ....."

In the voice, she suddenly felt a warm palm touch her pouting buttocks, her eyes closed, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye, dripping on the blanket, making a suppressed cry, and her fingers clutched the blanket. The warm palm swam for a moment, and then he heard Gongsun Zhi's voice sigh behind him.

"That's a pretty good figure......"

The palm of his hand was retracted, he grabbed the dress on the ground and threw it up, Gongsun Zhi turned around and walked to the side of the long case: "...... The beauty of the world, if you want it, not to mention hundreds of thousands....... even if it is you, whether you are reluctant or not, you can be hugged to the bed, but unfortunately now looking at you like this, Lone is not interested, put on the dress, hurry up. ”

Guo Zhao stroked the dress covering his body, crawled on the ground with his hands and feet, hugged the leg that was walking to the first place, his hair was loose and messy, and he said in a panic: "King Jin!" The concubine begs you, let the husband have a way to live, and kowtow to you! You can be a cow or a horse......."

"Please spare him—"

She cried out, her head slammed on the ground, and when her forehead gradually turned red, a step stretched out, separated in the middle, preventing the forehead from knocking down again, Guo Zhao raised his face and subconsciously looked at the other party: "King Jin agreed?" ”

Gongsun Zhi looked at this stubborn woman with a flat gaze, and there was no coldness in his eyes, "Let's go, Gu agreed, Cao Pi was at the worst time, and a woman like you was by his side, which was the greatest blessing in his life." ”

In the flickering lamp, the talking figure waved his hand to the woman on the ground: "Let's go, Lone promised you." ”

"King Xie Jin's grace of not killing..... King Xie Jin does not kill his concubine and husband......" The woman who cried with joy wanted to kowtow a few more times, but was stopped by Gongsun Zhi, he turned his back and looked at the window lattice, "Hurry up and put on your dress and go, and then go to Tingwei to welcome your husband home in two days." ”

After a while, Guo Zhao said a few words of gratitude behind his back, the door opened, and after exiting the study, she wiped the tears on her face, and blessed the three Jin kings not far from the eaves.

The latter took a few steps, stopped, turned his head to look at the distant back, took the porridge soup from the maid's hand and went to the study, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Li Ke put down the cup, got up and arched their hands towards her.

"The three generals drink slowly, if it's not enough, let the servants fetch it."

Fu Shou smiled and whispered to the three of them, then pushed the door in, just in time to see Gongsun Zhi turn from the window lattice, she closed the door, handed over the porridge soup, rubbed her green and white hands, and sighed hotly, her eyes were full of men's figures: "It's getting colder and colder, and it's time for the husband to rest." ”

"Xuchang has a lot of official business, don't deal with it more, I'm afraid there will be no time in the next two days." Gongsun Zhi took a sip, put it aside, held the woman's hand, and pulled it closer to his arms to keep warm, "It's cold outside, there's no need to run this trip in person, has Li'er slept?" ”

Feeling the temperature in his big hand, Fu Shou blinked his eyelashes, his face was a little blushing, and he nodded: "I've already slept...... Husband, just now the concubine saw a girl passing by here, she seems to be Cao Pi......"

"Come and ransom your husband."

Fu Shou was stunned for a moment, "Ransom your husband?" Nafujun ......"

"I'm not interested..... Gu is not a cow, where can I go around plowing the fields. Besides, Lone didn't think about killing that Cao Zihuan. When Gongsun Zhi said this, his upper body suddenly leaned over there, and in the woman's exclamation, he hugged the other party horizontally, and said with a smile: "But ....... your own field, you still have to work hard." ”

Fu Shou blushed and slapped the man's shoulder with his fist, then buried his head in his broad arms, was carried into the back of the screen, and put it on a soft collapse......

***********

On the same night, in the prison of the court captain, there were quarrels and pushes. In the dimly lit prison, the weak young man pinched the wrist of the armored man opposite, and fiercely wanted to push the other party away: "Don't be kind! Gongsun Zhi came back suddenly, it must be you who quietly wrote to him, but I can't see me, you go, you don't need to be pitiful!! ”

Cao Pi pushed the other party out of the cell vigorously, his face was hideous, and his muscles were bulging, Cao Ang, who was standing in front of him, was only pushed two steps, looked at the hysterical brother in front of him calmly, broke free lightly, and then raised his hand, it was a snap, and a palm slapped on the other party's face, the force was not great, but the sound was still clear in this prison.

Cao Pi, who was covering his cheeks, simply went to the ground, "Come on, you beat me to death-"

Cao Ang stood in place and pursed his lips, glanced at the hand that had just hit him, took a deep breath, sat down in front of his younger brother, and said in a low voice: "My younger brother Zihuan, it shouldn't be like this...... In my memory, he was well-behaved, sensible, and smart, and when he was very young, he ran with me and called his brother, and sometimes gave him a few street gadgets from outside, and he could be happy for many days...... He is not like this, for the sake of a duke, for the sake of the family business, he regards my brother as a thorn in his side. ”

The playful figure stopped making noise on the ground, and in the quiet cell, Cao Ang's tone was a little choked.

"....... the battle of Wancheng, my brother was rescued in the river, and after the injury was healed, I didn't plan to return to this Xudu, because I knew who was going to harm me...... But my brother didn't want to come back, because I didn't want you and my brother to kill each other in the future, not to mention that you were still very young at that time and didn't understand anything. ”

"But you're still back....... taking everything from Pi." In the darkness, the figure on the ground replied coldly.

"Brother ...... Wei later went to the north, at that time Gongsun Zhi was still the governor of the north, united with Liaodong to exterminate Xianbei and Wuhuan, and took the entire grassland into his pocket, at that time, Brother Wei admired him very much, and his father also admired him, after all, he took the road we always wanted to take, Zihuan, you haven't been to the north, right? Haven't seen the heavy snow in Liaodong, and the endless grassland? There were countless cattle, sheep and war horses, countless people grazed for him, and many soldiers killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain to give him his life, at that time, my brother knew that one day, this northern governor would go south......" Cao Ang didn't seem to hear his words, and still said: "So my brother chooses to stay under his command so that he can protect the Cao family in the future." ”

In the dim color, he raised his hand to wipe the possible water stains on his face, and looked at Cao Pi lying on the ground, "If my brother doesn't take over the burden of the Cao family, what will happen in the future?" Father has come to the end, if I don't take these burdens! Do you think you can have a chance to turn around with your little cleverness? Look at what you've become now! ”

"Who said I would lose! If it weren't for you, how could I lose—" Cao Pi sat up from the grass bunk and roared at his brother, the grass clippings flying sideways as he waved his hand, "You are my brother!" Everyone looks at you, they all think that you are better than me, smarter than me, and take all the things you don't want, and now you come back and take them from me, and I just don't accept it——"

"That's my father who gave the foundation of the Central Plains to the King of Jin to protect the Cao family and the Xiahou family!"

Cao Ang also yelled at him, and then shook his head: "You don't know anything...... You haven't read it clearly, thinking that as long as the letter is passed out for your brother, you can make a difference? It's been so long, and I can't feel that there is a King Jin next to you......"

The figure sitting on the ground over there was stunned for a moment, stared at the brother opposite with wide eyes, the coldness in the prison hit his face, his thoughts calmed down, and he thought of something, and his whole body was frozen there.

"It's going to be fine....it's going to be fine....." Cao Ang stretched out his hand and grabbed him and patted him lightly on his thin back, "If my brother is here, I will definitely save you out, and tomorrow I will go to King Jin to intercede and save you from my brother." ”

Cao Pi's head rested on his brother's shoulder, his eyes did not blink, he looked at the dim and damp wall blankly, and whispered in a trance: "How could she ...... How could it be....."

Murmuring, tears flowing.

The night was restless, the wind and snow roared and ran through the night sky to blow the imperial city, in the whimpering wind, Liu Xie sat up from the curtain, heard the footsteps of the trotting outside approaching, and slapped the doors and windows closely, he hurriedly lifted the futon, ignored the concubines around him, walked to the window and listened to the past, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the King of Jin suddenly returned to Xudu, and Cao Pi, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Zhang Xiu were all arrested and thrown into the Tingwei prison."

"Will they tell me my plan?"

"...... shouldn't be, the slave and maid didn't drag it out completely, just to prepare for this day."

"That's good, that's good...... You go back first, King Jin will definitely come to the palace tomorrow, I will look at my face before speaking. ”

"The slave and maid are gone."

In the whimpering wind, a groveling figure waited until the sound came out, looked around, trotted away from this side with his robe, turned through the narrow wall alley, straightened out his appearance, and was about to walk into the range of lights over there, in the dark, he suddenly stretched out a foot, he 'ouch', fell directly, hit the wall, and scolded when he got up, only to see a lantern lit, reflecting a beautiful face.

"I haven't been back to the palace for years, and it seems that someone doesn't know me anymore."

A blade that was not like the Central Plains slammed on the eunuch's shoulder, which frightened him so much that his knees weakened, and he knelt down abruptly, and fell directly on the ground, with a similar voice.

"See..... I've seen ..... Imperial Chief."

"That's ....."

The scarlet nails caressed the trembling eunuch's head, and the woman's full red lips opened slightly: "Come..... Give you a candy to eat. ”
