The short sword in Cao Shuo's hand has a wide and thick sword body, and the whole body is very high-end.

With a wave of the void split, Cao Shuo praised: "Good sword!" ”

He asked Madame Gan and Madame Mi, "Where did the two ladies get this sword?" ”

"Does Childe recognize where this sword came from?" The two ladies did not answer, and Mrs. Mi asked him.

"The Western Regions mostly use curves, and the Huns use straight knives." Cao Shuo said: "The weapons of the Qiang people and Wuhuan are not like this, let alone the Nanban. If my guess is correct, it should be from Great Qin. ”

"Childe is really proficient in weapons." Madame Gan smiled slightly: "This sword is from Great Qin. ”

"The two ladies should have been in the back house all day, how did they get this sword?" Cao Shuo asked in surprise.

"A few days ago, I heard that some Daqin merchants came to Xu Du." Mrs. Mi replied: "My sister and I have thought about it, and the son is about to come back, so I asked the maid to invite one to the house." ”

"I thought you invited the Great Qin merchants to buy something for your own use, but I didn't expect it to be to buy a gift for Zirong." Ding Yao smiled slightly and said, "This sword is the intention of the two ladies, and Zirong should be cherished." ”

Tying the short sword around his waist, Cao Shuo said: "From now on, I will carry this sword with me at any time." ”

"Childe is so precious, it's not in vain for our sisters to choose one." Mrs. Gan asked, "How long do you plan to stay when Gongzi comes back this time?" ”

"I can't live for too long, it depends on what the Yuan family in Hebei does." Cao Shuo said: "Yuan Xianfu sent someone to ask for reinforcements, and once the reinforcements he asked left, I should go back to Huainan." ”

"To say that Yuan Xianfu is really annoying." Mrs. Mi pursed her lips and said: "The prince has just returned to Xudu, and he hasn't had time to get close to the eldest lady for a few days, and they are engaged in the east and west in Hebei. ”

"You can't blame Hebei for engaging in the east and the west." Cao Shuo said: "I came to Xudu this time, and it is estimated that my father also wants to discuss with me the use of troops in Hebei. After the two battles of Guandu and Cangting, Hebei has long lost its former glory. Just relying on Hebei's military strength, it is not our Cao family's opponent at all, and it is really strange that he does not ask for foreign aid. ”

"With Cao Gong and Gongzi here, I'm afraid that it will be useless for him to ask for foreign aid." Mrs. Mi said.

"Alright." Mrs. Gan said: "Sister, don't always say this, Gongzi just came back from Shouchun, and we just came to ask to see him." Seeing the son, it's time to leave. Don't delay the eldest lady and the son to talk. ”

The two ladies were about to say goodbye, and Ding Yao said: "Before Zirong entered the city, I asked people to prepare a banquet, and I originally planned to invite you two to come, but it happened that you two came by yourself, how can there be any reason to go back?" It's better to talk to our mother and son here, and wait until the banquet to go back. ”

Ding Yao said that she planned to invite them to the banquet, and the two ladies hurriedly thanked them.

Mrs. Gan said with a smile: "We thought we were bothered, but I didn't expect that the eldest lady would still think of us for the sake of the son." ”

"Sister Gan, don't say that." Ding Yao said: "What the Cao family's back house looks like, you two also know." The ladies of each room can talk to me, and there are not many who dare to talk to me, and it is only after the two of you come to Xudu that I am more lively here. And Zirong and you are also old acquaintances, he came from Shouchun, how could he not invite you two? ”

Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi thanked Ding Yao.

Ding Yao invited the two ladies to sit down.

After a few people sat down, Mrs. Gan asked, "Isn't the eldest lady planning to invite Mrs. Bian over?" After all, he was the adoptive mother of Childe. ”

"Don't mention that slut." Speaking of Mrs. Bian, Ding Yao's face suddenly turned bad: "I have found out the reason, Zirong was ...... when he was a child"

Ding Yao was talking, and Cao Cao's voice came from outside the door: "Don't mention which slut?" What happened to Zirong when she was a child? ”

Hearing Cao Cao speak, several people were taken aback.

Including Ding Yao, the four of them hurriedly stood up.

Just as he was talking about Mrs. Bian's no, Cao Cao suddenly came.

I don't know how much he listened, Ding Yao was a little apprehensive.

"What were you talking about?" When he arrived, Cao Cao asked, "Why is it a slut and a sub-melt?" ”

"Back to my father." Cao Shuo grinned, hugged his fists and said to Cao Cao: "My mother just mentioned that when I was a child, I said that there was a maid who always took care of me, so I blurted out a scolding, but I didn't expect to be listened to by my father." ”

"Really?" Cao Cao smiled and asked Cao Shuo.

"That's true." Cao Shuo said: "Do I dare to lie to my father? ”

He looked at Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi: "The two ladies are also here, if my father doesn't believe me, you can ask them." ”

Cao Shuo dragged Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi, of course, because she had confidence in her heart.

If it weren't for him, the two ladies would still be wandering outside with Liu Bei now.

They were grateful to Cao Shuo from the bottom of their hearts, otherwise they would not have specially gotten a short sword from the Great Qin merchant and gave it to him.

Looking at Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi, Cao Cao asked, "Is it really like what Zirong said?" ”

"What Childe said is exactly the truth." Mrs. Gan replied, "Doesn't Gong Cao still believe in Gongzi? ”

I wanted to get verification from them.

Unexpectedly, he was asked by Mrs. Gan.

Stunned for a moment, Cao Cao then laughed: "How can I not believe Zirong." I heard that there was a banquet here, and I was going to come to beg for a drink, but I saw that you were chatting very happily, but when I came, they were all very restrained. I'd better go somewhere else. ”

"Since the husband is here, let's stay with Zirong to talk." Ding Yao said: "My two ladies and I are both women's families, and we don't know any truth, and we don't understand the general trend of the world. It's still husband and Zirong who can talk together. ”

"Forget it!" Cao Cao said: "Later, Zirong will go to see me in the study, I have something to say to you in private." It's okay to drink tonight, but don't drink too much. ”

After explaining, Cao Cao turned and left.

Seeing him walk out of the room, Ding Yao glanced at the maid.

The maid hurriedly followed.

After a while, she turned back and said to Ding Yao and the others, "Gong Cao has already gone away. ”

Ding Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but Mrs. Mi said worriedly: "What the eldest lady said just now, Gong Cao really didn't hear it, right?" ”

"If he hears it, can he still walk so happily?" Ding Yao said with a cold face: "That slut of the Bian family, I have already found out, Zeng Zirong is almost gone, it is her hands and feet that she secretly moved." ”

"If my mother doesn't have solid evidence, it's better not to say it." Cao Shuo said: "Even with evidence, some things still have to be endured. Unless we are absolutely sure, we can pick things out on the bright side. ”
