That night, Mrs. Huan ate at Ding Yao's place before leaving.

Only Ding Yao and Cao Shuo's mother and son were left in the room.

"What are you coming to Yecheng for?" Ding Yao asked Cao Shuo.

"For Matten." Cao Shuo replied: "Ma Chao rebelled, my father was furious, and he wanted to kill Ma Teng and the two sons he brought to Yecheng, and I came here to save them." ”

"Did you save it?" Ding Yao asked.

"I've been saved." Cao Shuo said: "Ma Teng didn't know about Ma Chao's rebellion, and after I rescued him, I asked for permission to lead his troops to fight. ”

"The world is too chaotic, and there are all kinds of people." Ding Yao said: "You can't trust him easily. ”

"Faith is sure to believe." Cao Shuo said: "But I won't give him a single soldier." ”

"Don't vouch for him either." Ding Yao said: "You can't guarantee it." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I'm measured." Cao Shuo asked, "Has anyone ever been uncomfortable with my mother in my absence?" ”

"Since Zihuan was cut off from his military power, no one has come to me to be an eyesore." Ding Yao said: "The ladies who used to go over there often don't wait to see them here. ”

"In the future, if they come, my mother will not have to befriend them, but she should not turn them away." Cao Shuo said: "If you don't get close to them, you will undoubtedly drive everyone over there." ”

"I've written down everything you said." Ding Yao said: "I don't want to do anything to them, but when I think of the slut who stammered the Bian family at the beginning, I can't help but feel angry in my heart." ”

"But as a person, I always hope to find a backer." Cao Shuo said: "When the sun was in full swing over there, there would definitely be a group of people who were stammering with them. Mothers also have to be considerate. ”

"I am considerate of them, who will be considerate of you?" Ding Yao said: "You know, Zihuan was thinking about taking the Cao family away from you. ”

"Don't talk about Zihuan, even if there are ten more of him, I can handle it." Cao Shuo said: "In terms of ranking in the family, I am the eldest and the youngest; In terms of soldiers and horses, I have tens of thousands of elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of reserve troops, but he has not a single soldier; In terms of the talent of his subordinates, he is not my opponent. What is his mother worried about him doing? ”

"Zihuan is different from others, he has always been ruthless in his work, you haven't killed him before, but he has repeatedly wanted to kill you." Ding Yao said: "Sometimes I really hate to kill him. ”

"Mother, don't do anything stupid." Cao Shuo said: "The last thing my father wants to see is that his sons and heirs attack each other. It is precisely because my father knows what Zihuan has done that he will take away his military power and establish the status of my son. ”

"I understand what you're saying." Ding Yao said: "I also know that you have the ability to deal with Zihuan calmly. But every time I think about it, I don't feel good in my heart. ”

"Mother don't worry too much." Cao Shuo said: "Thinking too much about some things will limit our horizons. ”

"You kid is generous." Ding Yao sighed and said to Cao Shuo: "If everyone in this world were as generous as you, there wouldn't be so many intrigues. ”

"It's not that I'm generous, I just don't want to spend too much effort on unnecessary things." Cao Shuo said: "No matter how useless I think, why should I think about it? When it does happen, it's not too late for us to face it. ”

"When you say that, it seems like I'm not being generous." Ding Yao smiled slightly, rolled Cao Shuo's eyes and said, "You have said everything, but you still want others to have a chance to speak?" ”

"Actually, I've been wondering if I can invite my mother to live in Shouchun for a while." Cao Shuo said: "My mother went to Shouchun, and I am also filial by my side. ”

"Of course I want to go too, but you're too busy and always leading the troops." Ding Yao said: "Something happened to Xiliang, is it possible that your father will let you stay in Shouchun?" It won't be long before he will definitely send you to Xiliang with his troops. ”

"Actually, my father said that he plans to lead the army to recruit himself." Cao Shuo said: "This time in Shouchun, I can really live for a few more days." ”

"Forget it." Ding Yao sighed softly and said, "In the past two years, I have become more and more lazy, and I don't want to move around. In two years, if there are not so many battles to fight, I will go to Shouchun to live for a few more days. ”

"It's fine." Cao Shuo nodded: "Earlier, Ziwen reminded me that my mother had to be careful over there when she was alone in Yecheng. ”

"You can rest assured." Ding Yao said: "I am the master of the back house, even if they want to do anything to me, they don't dare to do anything to me." ”

"Of course I don't dare to have my father to protect me." Cao Shuo said: "I will return to Shouchun in a few days, and my father will soon lead troops to fight against Xiliang." Neither father nor son is here, so Mother has to be more careful. ”

He then said to Ding Yao: "I will order Huo Wu to send more people to protect the surroundings, and once I realize that something is wrong, I will also ask my mother to leave Yecheng immediately until my father returns." ”

"I used to say this every time I came back, but what happened today?" Ding Yao said with a smile: "Don't worry, although I don't have soldiers and horses around me, they really don't dare to do anything to me." ”

"Everyone knows that the thing I care about most is my mother." Cao Shuo said: "The more they know about this, the more uneasy I feel. Some people hate me, but they can't do anything about me. Although the mother is the head of the Cao family's back house, if the father is no longer there, who can protect him? ”

"If you don't worry me, it's filial piety." Holding Cao Shuo's hand, Ding Yao said: "Every time I hear that you are on an expedition, I am always worried. I haven't been on the battlefield, but I can imagine it. Which one of the swords, guns, swords, and halberds has eyes? When leading the troops, don't be reckless, don't rush to the front. ”

"Rushing to the front is something I did a long time ago." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said: "Now that there are generals in the charge, I just need to be in the Chinese army." ”

"That's good." Ding Yao said: "Don't be too mean to the soldiers, people's hearts are flesh and blood, if you are good to them, they will work hard for you." If you're mean to them, they'll stab you in the back. ”

"Mother, don't worry, I know all this." Cao Shuo said: "It's not early, so mother should rest early." ”

"I go to bed early every day, and I don't talk to you until you come back." Ding Yao said: "You should be tired when you come back from Shouchun, I won't talk to you more, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

"I'll send my mother." Cao Shuo got up and sent Ding Yao to the door.

Seeing Ding Yao return to the house accompanied by the maid, he turned around and closed the door.

Cao Shuo lived in Yecheng for a few days, and felt that taking Ma Teng's father and son would not cause any more trouble, so he decided to return to Shouchun.
