Cao Shuo took Guo Jia and ran in the direction of Xia Cai surrounded by a group of people.

Xia Cai and Shouchun got together for only a few dozen miles.

It won't take a few hours to get there.

The place they went to was not Xia Cai City, but a hill not far from Xia Cai.

Coming to the bottom of the hillside, Cao Shuo asked Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, "Two gentlemen, is the place you chose here?" ”

"Exactly." Zuo Ci replied: "There is a flat land on the mountain, build a few houses, and make two Dan furnaces, basically all of them." ”

"Go up and have a look." Cao Shuo waved his hand.

The crowd rode up the mountain.

There is a path on this hill where Zuo Ci and Yu Jixuan lead halfway up the mountain.

The path is narrow, with dense trees growing on both sides, and it is not known when the path was carved out by whom.

led everyone up the mountain, Cao Shuo and Guo Jia walked in the front.

The way up the mountain is not the same as the terrain, although it is difficult to ride a horse.

After walking for more than half an hour, Cao Shuo and the others finally went halfway up the mountain.

Sure enough, as Zuo Ci said, halfway up the mountain, there was a relatively flat place here.

"Guo Gong, what do you think of here?" Pointing to the flat area in front of him, Cao Shuo asked Guo Jia.

"I think it's good." Guo Jia said: "This kind of place is suitable for two gentlemen. ”

Cao Shuo instructed Cai Ji behind him: "Go back and find some people, build some houses here, remember, the houses must be spacious and bright, and then build a Dan furnace for each of the two gentlemen." From now on, this is the place where the two gentlemen practice. In addition, some soldiers were sent to protect the two gentlemen. ”

Cai Ji responded.

Zuo Ci and Yu Ji hurriedly thanked Cao Shuo.

After walking a little further, he came to the edge of the cliff, and Cao Shuo looked into the distance.

"What is Childe looking at?" Following him, Guo Jia asked.

"Look at the infinite world." Still looking into the distance, Cao Shuo said: "Back then, Gaozu beheaded the White Snake Uprising and won the Han family, but now it is full of devastation and withering, and it is desolate to think about it. ”

"I heard that Childe killed a red snake at the beginning." Guo Jia whispered: "Don't you think there is any meaning in it?" ”

"What can it mean, it's just a snake." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "My father is loyal to the Han family, and as a descendant of the Cao family, of course I am also loyal to the Han Dynasty." ”

When Cao Shuo said these words, his face was calm.

But he knew it in his heart.

The Han family has declined, leading the troops to fight in the south and the north, and if the country is handed over to the Han family, if he is not stupid, he must be crazy.

Whoever fights the world is in charge!

Loyalty to the Han family? Are you kidding?

thought so in his heart, but Cao Shuo wouldn't say so.

Of course, Guo Jia knew his thoughts, smiled slightly, and didn't say much.

Cao Cao also had some staff members who were loyal to the Han family.

For example, Xun Yu was bent on revitalizing the Han dynasty and revitalizing the Han dynasty.

However, Guo Jia, Xun You and others don't think so.

They are only loyal to the Cao family.

No matter what Cao Cao wants to do in the future, they will support them.

It is the Cao family who is taking it, and they have to be loyal to the Han family, so they don't feel that necessary!

Zuo Ci and Yu Ji went to see the empty space, and studied with Cai Ji where to build a house and place the Dan furnace.

On the edge of the cliff stood only Cao Shuo and Guo Jia.

Standing beside Cao Shuo and looking into the distance with him, Guo Jia said: "Gongzi is in front of me, in fact, there is no need to hide it. I can see a lot of things in your eyes. ”

Turning his head to look at Guo Jia, Cao Shuo asked, "What can Guo Gong see?" ”

"Attachment to power." Guo Jia said: "If Gongzi takes over the Cao family, the world will be surnamed Cao in the future, not Liu." ”

"Guo Gong doesn't dare to talk nonsense." Cao Shuo hurriedly said: "I can't afford the crime of great rebellion." ”

"If you succeed, the prince will be defeated, if the world is all Gongzi's, who will the Gongzi rebel against?" Guo Jia asked with a slight smile.

"I also said that my father is loyal to the Han family, if I have the slightest expression of disloyalty to the Han family, I am likely to be regarded as a rebel." Cao Shuo said: "I will do it, but I don't dare to do it." ”

"Of course, it is impossible for Cao Gong to do something that rebels against the Han family." Guo Jia said: "He started in the name of Kuangzheng Han Dynasty, if he turns his back on the Han family in the future, won't he be spurned by the world?" ”

"What do you mean by Guo Gong......" Cao Shuo asked.

"I mean, Childe didn't start in that name." Guo Jia replied: "You don't have to carry a lot like Cao Gong. Who will sit in the world in the future, isn't it just a thought of the child? ”

Cao Shuo laughed: "Guo Gong said that he laughed, now that the strong enemy is looking around, which one doesn't have the idea of sitting in the world?" I'm not like Yuan Shu, I can't wait to be the emperor, it's just a dead end. ”

"So Gongzi also has the idea of becoming an emperor?" Guo Jia smiled slightly and asked Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand: "How could I have that kind of thought?" ”

Having understood Cao Shuo's intentions, Guo Jia smiled slightly and looked into the distance: "No matter what the son wants to do, as long as it does not endanger Cao Gong, I will do my best to help." ”

"Thank you Guo Gong!" Cao Shuo clenched his fists and arched towards Guo Jia.

He then said: "Guo Gong wants to help me, the first thing is to take care of my body. I will let Zuo Ci and Yu Ji refine the elixir for Guo Gong, and Guo Gong himself will not refine it again in the future. ”

"Did Childe already know that there was something wrong with my elixir prescription?" Guo Jia asked.

Cao Shuo nodded: "Guo Gong's elixir prescription has two flavors of lead and mercury, and those two flavors are not only not good for people, but also cause premature aging of people's organs, so Guo Gong's prescription told Yu Ji that he was surprised." It is impossible for a truly capable warlock to refine an elixir from lead and mercury. ”

"I see." Guo Jia nodded thoughtfully: "If it weren't for Childe, I would have almost made a mistake!" ”

"It's not too late." Cao Shuo said: "Mr. Hua Tuo is in Xudu, but what he is good at is external injuries. I have a Mr. Zhang Zhongjing here, and he is good at healing internal organs. When he returned to Shouchun, he still asked him to help Guo Gong see how deep the poison of lead and mercury was. ”

"Childe thinks I'm poisoned?" Guo Jia was stunned.

"Didn't Guo Gong feel chest tightness, panting, and fatigue?" Cao Shuo said: "Look at your face, it's not very good. ”

Guo Jia was stunned.

He has long had the feeling of chest tightness and panting, and he is often afraid of cold.

But he never told anyone.

Cao Shuo actually said it in one bite.

Smiling slightly, Cao Shuo didn't say anything more.

Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, who were optimistic about the place, walked over.

When they arrived behind Cao Shuo, the two saluted, and Zuo Ci said, "Son, we have already looked forward to the place where the house will be built. ”

"Then let's get ready to build." Cao Shuo said: "If you let someone bring a mountain spring over, you don't have to go too far to fetch water from the two gentlemen." ”
