Chapter 38: Temptation

Jing Yang's sword moves were not so gorgeous, but every move was murderous. Jing Yang saw Cao Shuang coming, pulled a sword flower and put the sword in his hand into the scabbard. A handful of bangs blocked Jing Yang's left eye, and with Jing Yang's cold expression, it gave people a cold feeling.

"Good swordsmanship, good swordsmanship." Cao Shuang clapped his palms and walked to Jing Yang's side, and the words of praise in his mouth were overflowing.

"Childe praised it." Jing Yang bowed slightly and said, bowing very little. Cao Shuang didn't take these to heart, a master like Jing Yang naturally has his proud capital, if Jing Yang flatteringly knelt at Cao Shuang's feet, maybe Cao Shuang would not look down on him again.

Cao Shuang handed Jing Yang a sweat towel and asked, "I don't know what Jing Daxia is looking for me?" ”

Jing Yang's face was uncertain, he hesitated for a long time, knelt on one knee and hugged his fists, "I also hope that Gongzi Cao can take in the contemptible people." ”

The contrast between before and after was too great, Cao Shuang stood in place for a moment, and then stepped forward to help Jingyang up. The moment Jing Yang knelt down, there was something called self-esteem in his bones. Jingyang's swordsmanship is superb, and there are countless souls under the sword, when have you ever been so down. Cao Shuang helped Jing Yang up and asked softly, "Did something happen?" ”

"Jingyang has nowhere to go, Suomeitang thinks that I have rebelled, and has issued an extermination order against me." Jing Yang hesitated slightly, but still said the matter, "Suomeitang has raised me for fifteen years, and I have been trying my best to kill for them for fifteen years, and I don't owe them anything. Although you are still young, you are a person worth following, and Yang does not want to live up to your kindness. ”

Cao Shuang listened carefully to Jing Yang's words and understood the joints. Suomingtang believed that Jingyang had fornicated with Cao Cao, which led to the failure of the assassination of Cao Cao, and dragged the victim into the water. Only then did he issue an extermination order to Jing Yang and get rid of Jing Yang. Jing Yang tried his best to ask for his life, but in the end, it was such a result, and it was inevitable that his heart would be cold. Although Jing Yang's words were very simple, Cao Shuang heard a trace of sadness and helplessness from them.

Cao Shuang and Jing Yang looked at each other and smiled. "You can stay with me from now on." Cao Shuang left a simple sentence and left the courtyard. Since then, Cao Shuang has had another follower by his side in addition to Li Cong. At Cao Shuang's request, the Yuanhong Sword was also replaced with an ordinary sword, and Jing Yang also wore a mask, and Cao Shuang called him "魑".

"Cao Shuang visits his uncle." Cao Shuang was very respectful and saluted the young man in front of him. This person is Cao Pi, who came to thank Cao Shuang this time, after all, Cao Jie was rescued by Cao Shuang's efforts. Cao Pi was the eldest son of Cao Fu at this time, and he didn't need to come in person, but Cao Pi insisted on coming in person.

Cao Pi has always had a smile on his face, and outsiders seem to be approachable, but Cao Shuang, who knows Cao Pi's old background, doesn't dare to think so. Cao Shuang's palms were full of sweat, and in the face of him, the uncle who was the founder of the Great Wei, Cao Shuang did not dare to relax in the slightest. Cao Pi is a well-known black-hearted, and it is easy to be able to appear in the history books. Besides, bad people are now a sensitive department, and they must be careful in handling their relationship with Cao Cao's sons.

"This is 500 catties of gold, but it is a thank you to my nephew for saving my sister." Cao Pi sat in the hall and pointed to the wooden box that the slave had brought in.

"Thank you, grandmother, thank you, uncle." Cao Shuang cautiously thanked him, Cao Cao was not there, and Cao Cao's wife Bian was naturally in charge of Cao Cao's wife, who was Cao Shuang's grandmother.

"You're so polite, sit down. This bad mansion is your territory, and you stand like this to let your subordinates see that it is detrimental to your majesty. Although Cao Pi blamed, his tone was very friendly.

Cao Shuang thanked him many times before sitting down and dealing with Cao Pi carefully. At this time, the question of Cao Cao's succession had not yet been put on the table, but the rivalry between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had already begun in secret. Cao Pi had a harmless smile on his face, "The virtuous nephew's 'master as a teacher' was praised, and I don't know if the virtuous nephew thought it was better to be long, or to be virtuous." ”

What should come will come after all, this is Cao Pi testing Cao Shuang. After Cao Ang died in Wancheng, Cao Pi became the eldest son of Cao Fu. If you follow the principle of being virtuous, Cao Pi will naturally inherit everything from Cao Cao. However, Cao Pi's fourth brother Cao Zhi is talented and deeply loved by Cao Cao, and compared with this fourth brother, Cao Pi is much worse, so the problem of Cao Pi's inheritance is variable. Invisibly, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi stood on opposite sides.

Cao Shuang had a puzzled expression on his face, thought for a long time, and smiled embarrassedly, "Uncle, your question is really too difficult for Shuang at this time, why don't you wait until tomorrow to ask Mr. to answer?" ”

"Haha, since my uncle forgot that you were still a six-year-old. Okay, okay, just as if my uncle didn't ask this question. Cao Pi laughed and said, folk music buttoned the tea on the table.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a long time, and Cao Pi tested Cao Shuang through various questions. Either Cao Shuang didn't know how to excuse himself, or he answered vaguely. In the end, Cao Pi felt that he couldn't ask anything, so he left after a few pleasantries. As soon as Cao Pi walked on the front foot, Cao Shuang held on to the door frame and took a few deep breaths, "I'm tired of the baby." ”

Cao Pi, who was riding on the horse, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes were very sharp, "Cunning boy!" ”

"That's a good paper." Cao Shuang, who returned to Cao's Mansion, looked at the white paper on his desk and kept praising it.

Xu Nu called Cao Shuang water to wash her face and waited for Cao Shuang to wash her face, "It was sent by Miss Feng, saying that this is the first batch of paper from the paper mill." ”

Cao Shuang wiped his hands dry and went to check the blank paper. I saw that there was something written on one of the pieces of paper. Cao Shuang took a look, it was Jia Wan who invited Cao Shuang to participate in the opening of the paper store. Cao Shuang thought about it, and asked Li Cong to send these blank papers to Xun Yu, the Xiahou brothers, and the mansions respectively.

Xun Yu and the others were also full of praise after seeing the white paper sent by Cao Shuang, and asked Li Cong where he got the paper. Cao Shuang instructed him, and Li Cong naturally knew everything, and even the date of the opening of Jia's paper shop did not fall. Xun Yu looked at the paper on the table and smiled happily, "This kid has a lot of flowers." After listening to Li Cong's words, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were almost the same expression as Xun Yu.

Xun Yu and the others naturally understood what Cao Shuang meant, and Cao Shuang wanted them to help Jia Wan and open up the sales channels of the blank paper in the imperial court and the army. In the imperial court and the army, there are many documents, if you use bamboo slips and cloth, it is very inconvenient, if good quality white paper is put into use, it will become very simple and convenient. The Xun Yu and Xiahou brothers can figure out the joints, and they will help in this matter, whether it is public or private.
