On this day, Cao Shuang got up early, asked Li Cong to take leave, and gathered Cao Shuang's newly acquired eight little brothers. These eight people were collected by Cao Shuang in various states, and Cao Shuang said that they were asked to accompany him to study, but in fact, Cao Shuang wanted to cultivate his own power. Although Cao Shuang's family is not very wealthy, it is definitely not a problem to raise eight more people.

These eight people came from different places, were similar in age to Cao Shuang, accompanied Cao Shuang to study every day, and practiced martial arts under Cao Shuang's training. In addition, the food in Caofu is very good, and the eight people are as strong as calves. These eight people are ranked according to age, respectively with Yuan Lie, Chang Xian, Yang Shen, Wu Hong, Su Li, Guo Sheng, Li Jue, and Yao Quan.

"Childe, where are we going?" The person who spoke was Yuan Lie, the eldest of the eight. Yuan Lie was cautious, and when he saw that Cao Shuang asked them to gather, he also let him take the guys, so he had to ask, if Cao Shuang wanted to mess around, he would definitely stop it.

The corners of Cao Shuang's mouth smiled slightly, and an evil smile filled his face. Just as he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Li Cong, "Childe, the bad guy Guo Ai asks to see." ”

"Oh? Let him in. Cao Shuang's face was full of surprise, he knew that Guo Ai had been patrolling the border for the past few years, and said to himself, "What is the matter when he comes back at this time?" ”

Seeing Guo Ai coming in, Yuan Lie left Cao Shuang's study with his brothers. Guo Ai pouted and knelt on the ground, "The last general Guo Ai will see the son!" On the first day of the general's return, he did not ask Gongzi for peace, and hoped that Gongzi would forgive his sins. Although there is an age gap between Cao Shuang and Guo Ai, Guo Ai is grateful to Cao Shuang for his kindness, and treats Cao Shuang with great courtesy.

"Hurry up, please! Tongyou (Guo Aibiao) is busy with official business, and besides, I am no longer the chief official of the bad person, so you don't need to come here to see me. Cao Shuang helped him weakly, and gestured for Guo Ai to sit down. For Guo Ai, Cao Shuang has always treated him like his own student, promoting him and teaching him when he is in charge of bad people. Guo loves Cao Shuang, and is also like a teacher, agreeing with Cao Shuang's concept of putting power in a cage, and practicing it with action.

"This time, there is something I want to ask for advice." In front of Cao Shuang, Guo Ai has always spoken straightforwardly and never beats around the bush. Here in Cao Shuang, Guo Ai feels that he is himself, without the politeness and hypocrisy outside.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Cao Shuang ordered someone to serve tea and let Guo Ai continue.

"Childe, do you think bad people will follow the old path of school affairs?" Guo Ai spoke straightforwardly and without delay.

Listening to Guo Ai's words, Cao Shuang shook his head, "Although the responsibilities of the two overlap, bad people will never follow the old path of school affairs." Although the bad people are also doing filthy and shady things, it has already been established, and as long as it is effectively supervised, the bad people will never go down the old road of school affairs. ”

At this point, Guo Ai already understood Cao Shuang's intentions, "The deputy prime minister suspects that there is a problem within the bad guys. After a slight pause, Guo Ai still didn't say the word traitor, but replaced it with a problem.

"The bad guys have developed too fast in recent years, and with their rapid expansion, it is inevitable that they will be mixed with some miscellaneous things, and there will be internal ghosts, which is also reasonable." Cao Shuang sighed, but also understood the purpose of Guo Ai's trip, "Since the deputy prime minister is already suspicious, then you can take the gendarmes to check." Taking this opportunity, the Nanya was established to formally supervise the bad people. ”

"No!" Guo Ai hesitated, he didn't expect Cao Shuang to be so neat, after all, he had to watch the bad people he had established with his own hands split into two and contain each other.

"Don't be scared, just do it!" Cao Shuang seemed to see Guo Ai's inner concerns, "It's true that the bad guys are formed by me, but I hope it can go further." ”

Guo Ai nodded, then bowed and left, and in the following days, he was busy.

Seeing off Guo Ai, Cao Shuang reconvened the brothers, "Brothers, this time we are going to drive someone out of Xuchang." ”

"Who?" Everyone said in unison.

The evil smile climbed up Cao Shuang's face again, "Xishu Zhang Song." ”

Hearing Zhang Song's name, the eight of them had a lot of discussions. In addition to reading and practicing every day, these eight people go to the streets to mingle, and Cao Shuang is called "Integrate into the people" and experience life. The daily fighting allowed this group of people to quickly grasp the flow of information in Xuchang City. They knew who Zhang Song was, and they knew how Cao Pi was a corporal.

"Childe, I don't think it's appropriate, after all, Zhang Song is the envoy of Xishu, and Pi Gongzi attaches great importance to it." Yuan Lie persuaded Cao Shuang bitterly, he had been with Cao Shuang for a long time, and they knew how mixed Cao Shuang was.

Cao Shuang waved his hand, took out the bag from Cao Cao, his face was solemn, and he said in a low voice, "There is no way, follow the secret order of the prime minister." ”

"No!" The eight of them went out with the guys, and went straight to the Xuchang Post House with high spirits.

Jing Yang, who was standing not far away, smiled speechlessly, "No wonder you were fooled, they are all fools." ”

Cao Shuang smiled and hurriedly followed. He was afraid that this group of people would not be serious and beat Zhang Song to death.

At this time, Guo Ai had already returned to the bad mansion. Seeing Guo Ai coming back, bad people greeted Guo Ai one after another. Some people's careful thinking began to come alive, and it was definitely not good for Xianshuai Guo Ai to return to Xuchang at this juncture. Some people are ready to watch the play, and some people are starting to prepare for the back road. The gendar has never shown mercy to the restless elements within the bad people, and the gazette sent back from the side is enough to explain everything.

"The last general will see the bad handsome!" As soon as he walked in the door, Guo Ai saluted towards Qi Fei. Although Guo Ai is a constitutional marshal, he is controlled by Qi Fei after all. And when he was in Huwei, Qi Fei was Guo Ai's boss, and the army had a strict hierarchy, and the most important thing was the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

"It's Guo Shuai, hurry up and be exempt, these false courtesies won't work in the future!" Although Qi Fei said this, he still sat there steadily. Although the two are nominally equal, Qi Fei still restrains Guo Ai. However, Guo Ai's actions in the past few years began to make Qi Fei feel that this kind of restraint was getting weaker and weaker, and even Guo Ai's position of power was faintly surpassing him.

Guo Ai smiled faintly, Guo Ai had already been mentally prepared for Qi Fei's attitude that was diametrically opposed to when he left Xuchang. At this time, he understood Cao Shuang more at the beginning, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Cao Shuang told Guo Ai that the biggest obstacle to the establishment of the bad guy Nanya is not Cao Shuang, nor is it above the court, but in this small bad mansion.

"Thank you Qi Shuai, after all, the ceremony cannot be wasted." Guo Ai got up and stood at the foot of the hall, Qi Fei sat on the main seat, and instructed to review the official newspaper.

After a long time, Qi Fei put down the official document in his hand, and said with self-reproach, "I'm too busy, since I forgot that my friend is still here, please take a seat." ”

Looking at Qi Fei's false politeness and trickery, Guo Ai smiled helplessly, officialdom is really the biggest dye vat.
