Chapter 80: The First Emergence

"Old fox!"

"Little fox!"

After the subordinates of Jiafu withdrew from the hall, Cao Shuang and Jia Xu ridiculed each other and greeted each other. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Jia Xu had a thick smile on his face, Jia Wan had never seen his father for so many years, and he smiled so openly.

"How about it, it's okay to stay in Xuchang?" Cao Shuang sat on the seat very casually, not as restrained as outside, if outsiders saw it, Cao Shuang's sitting posture was very rude.

Jia Xu had long been accustomed to Cao Shuang's lazy appearance, and sat down slowly with his crutches, "This old bone is quite healthy, is Cao Dagongzi okay in Chang'an?" ”

"I knew you had to worry about me, and I was fine." Cao Shuang picked up the tea on the table and praised again and again, "Good tea, good tea." ”

Putting the cup in his hand on the table, Cao Shuang picked up the teapot to refill himself with tea, and asked casually, "Are my uncles okay?" Cao Shuang, who likes to drink tea, asked people to fire two sets of tea sets according to his ideas and gave Jia Xu a set. Whenever Cao Shuang came, Jia Xu used this tea set to drink tea, which was much more convenient than before.

"Your uncles are all good, in addition to reading every day, they just hang out, and they are very leisurely. However, your second and third uncles are not so idle, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going in the house. Jia Xu picked up the porcelain cup that Cao Shuang had people burn, and gently took a sip of tea, reminiscing about the bitterness of the tea and the endless sweetness of the tea afterwards.

In the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang was killed in battle, and Cao Pi, as the second son, naturally had the opportunity to become the heir. However, the third son, Cao Zhi, is talented and deeply loved by Cao Cao, and may also become the heir. Invisibly, the two brothers stood on opposite sides. As Cao Cao grew older, the question of choosing an heir was gradually put on the agenda. The two brothers have been competing openly and secretly, but Cao Shuang, who is familiar with the trend of history, knows the result, and as soon as he closes his eyes, countless pictures of fratricidal fraternity flash in his mind, he doesn't want to see such a result, so he has been paying attention to Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

Seeing Cao Shuang's face flickering, Jia Xu didn't speak, just drank tea quietly. Cao Shuang raised his head and said with a very solemn expression, "Who do you think is more suitable to be the heir?" ”

A gleam flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and he quipped, "The old man thinks you are the most suitable." ”

"Do you think I'm going to live too long?" Cao Shuang shook his hands and laughed.

"Cao Pi has everything a superior needs, but he is too ruthless. Cao Zhi is talented, but he lacks the ruthlessness and power skills that a superior person should have. Jia Xu didn't say much, but he got to the point.

Looking around, Cao Shuang said in a suppressed voice, "If you had to choose one, who would you support?" ”

Jia Xu's face was very solemn, let alone express his stance on this kind of question outside, Jia Xu wouldn't even listen. Looking at Cao Shuang's serious expression, in the end, Jia Xu still chose to compromise, "Do you think the Cao family has stagnated after only taking the position of prime minister?" ”

"Old fox, you're still beating around the bush with me." How could Cao Shuang not understand what Jia Xu meant, Cao Cao's merits are high, and the court only knows Cao Cao, not the Han Emperor. Cao Cao has only two choices, either to be a loyal minister, if the Han Emperor who has been suppressed for many years will definitely liquidate Cao Cao, so that the Cao family and his party will definitely be implicated, and years of hard work will be in vain. Either usurp the Han and establish themselves, so that the Cao clan reaches the peak, and the meritorious ministers under the Dafeng are sealed, so as to stabilize the foundation. Cao Zhi has the unique arrogance of literati, very romantic, and has become the master of one party, lacking due decisiveness. And Cao Pi, who has a black belly, is more suitable in comparison.

"By the way, haven't you found out who attacked you in Chang'an last time?" Jia Xu also knew from the official documents of the bad people that Cao Shuang was attacked by unknown people in Chang'an. Here Jia Xu only refers to the investigation of the night detective, nominally Jia Xu is still the chief officer of the bad guys, so he knows the investigation of the bad guys.

Cao Shuang shook his head and said very old-fashionedly, "The name of the person, the shadow of the tree." However, Jing Yang said that they used the Shushan sword technique. After returning to Chang'an, Cao Shuang relied on his memory to play a few sword moves of the man in black at that time, and Jing Yang definitely said that it was the Shushan swordsmanship.

Looking at the old Cheng on Cao Shuang's face, Jia Xu chuckled, "Shushan is Liu Zhang's territory." ”

Cao Shuang nodded and shook his head again.

In the underground palace of Beidi County, Cheng Yi and the white-faced man exchanged identities, he stood respectfully below, and the white-faced man sat on the main seat. Although the main hall is underground, there are no lamps or torches, but it is very bright, depending on the jewels on the roof of the main hall.

Cheng Yi asked respectfully, "Master, why do you value that Xuanniao jade pendant so much?" ”

The white-faced man's eyes opened slightly, straightening his body, "I'll tell you a story, and you'll know." ”

After Ying Zheng destroyed the Six Kingdoms and ruled the world, he divided the treasures he had looted from the Six Kingdoms into two parts, one went into the treasury, and the other was sent to be hidden in case of future emergencies. Ying Zheng ordered the famous craftsmen to create four pieces of Xuanniao jade pendants, which were given to the left minister Li Si, the right minister Feng Quji, and the leader of the Black Ice Platform at that time, and only by gathering the four jade pendants could the treasure be taken out.

Later, after Hu Hai became the emperor, he was extremely poor and luxurious, and he also set his sights on the treasures left by Yingzheng. But Hu Hai and Zhao Gao only found three pieces of Xuanniao jade pendants at that time. The fourth piece of Xuanniao jade pendant was given to the royal clan by Yingzheng, and no one knows who this person is. So Zhao Gao hunted and killed the Qin royal family, but never found the last piece of jade pendant.

"The jade pendant that the man in black took can't be the Xuanniao jade pendant that opened the treasure of the First Emperor, right?" After listening to the story, Cheng Yi, who was dressed in black, asked.

The white-faced man nodded, "Exactly, send an order to the other six halls, let them pay attention to it at all times, and report back to the main altar as soon as there is news." ”

The white-faced man is Zhao Yi, the leader of the secret organization Qin Feng, who is said to have been founded in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, and was later suppressed by the imperial court and slowly went underground. Qin Feng is in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, with a total of seven halls, and the main altar is set up in Beidi County, Liangzhou. Cheng Yi was able to gain a foothold in Liangzhou, and Qin Feng's support was inseparable behind him.

Sitting in front of the fire, Li Pet looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and the frost on his white hair began to melt. Li Chong added a handful of firewood, looked up in the direction of Xuchang, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "It seems that it's time to meet." ”

Cao Shuang, who had just returned home from Jia Xu's mansion, sneezed heavily while holding on to the carriage, rubbed his nose and said to himself, "Who is thinking about me?" ”

Li Cong followed behind Cao Shuang, looking at Feng Hui's room where the lights were still on, with a wicked smile on his face, "Childe, you see that Miss Feng hasn't slept yet, is she waiting for you?" ”

The corners of Cao Shuang's mouth twitched slightly, only to hear Li Cong keep shouting in pain, "Childe tap, Childe tap, it's going to fall." ”

Hearing Cao Shuang and Li Cong's fight, the light in Feng Hui's room went out after a while. Li Cong rubbed the soft flesh on his purple waist and said aggrievedly, "I don't know what to do." ”

"What are you muttering?" Cao Shuang sat on the couch, as if he hadn't heard Li Cong's words.

Li Cong hurriedly defended, "I said that this water is a little cold, I'll add some hot water to you." ”

Cao Shuang had a faint smile on his face, pulled the bamboo slips on the couch, and waited for Li Cong's footwashing water while reading the military book.
