When they came to the door of the residence, Yuan Jun outside saluted Cao Shuo one after another.

As soon as he entered the front yard, Cao Shuo found that the situation was not quite right.

Chen Zhi led the dragon-patterned cavalry soldiers, pressing the long swords one by one, blocking in front of a group of Yuan troops.

This group of Yuan Jun also pressed their long swords in their hands and glared at Chen Zhi and the others angrily.

"What's wrong?" Cao Shuo walked up to Chen Dao and asked him, "All the sabre-rattling ones want to fight here?" ”

"Childe!" Chen Zhi saluted and said to Cao Shuo: "I got up a little late in the morning, and somehow, suddenly such a group of people came, and they had to rush to the house, of course we refused, so that's it." ”

"What's going on?" Cao Shuo looked at Yuan Jun, who was confronting the dragon pattern horse.

Captain Yuan, who took the lead, stepped forward and gave a big salute and said, "Please forgive Gongzi Cao, we have been ordered by the third prince to come to protect us." ”

"Protection?" Cao Shuo asked, "That's how you protect me?" ”

"In my opinion, you are not here to protect me." Cao Shuo said coldly: "It seems like you're here to kill me." ”

As soon as Cao Shuo said this, the captain hurriedly bowed his head and replied: "Please forgive Cao Gongzi, we are also under a military order......

"Zirong, what's going on?" The lieutenant was explaining to Cao Shuo when a voice came.

It was Yuan Shang who spoke.

He walked over and asked Cao Shuo, "What's the matter?" I sent someone to protect Zirong, why did it become like this? ”

"Brother, I am very grateful that you sent someone to protect me." Cao Shuo said: "However, I am used to the people around me, and I am a little uncomfortable when there are suddenly so many people from the Yuan family. ”

"Zirong, don't get me wrong." Yuan Shang hurriedly said: "That kind of thing happened outside the city yesterday, and my father and mother came to visit in person, of course I don't dare to slack off." So these elites were transferred, and with them, no one in Yecheng dared to do anything to Zirong. ”

"I understand my brother's kindness." Cao Shuo said: "I will take my wife back in two days, and I will ask my brother to withdraw these people." ”

Yuan Shang smiled: "Zirong may not have heard of it, I have to go with me this time." ”

Cao Shuo was stunned: "Brother also goes to Xudu?" ”

"Exactly." Yuan Shang said: "How can there be a married daughter who has no one to send her relatives, don't hide it, these soldiers will accompany me when the time comes." ”

Yuan Shang wanted to accompany Cao Shuo and Yuan Fang back to Xudu, and Cao Shuo's plans were immediately disrupted.

He originally wanted to take Yuan Fang to take a detour to Hongnong, pick up Tang Ji, and then return to Xudu.

If Yuan Shang follows......

"What? Zirong doesn't want me to go? Yuan Shang asked with a smile.

"How can you!" Cao Shuo said: "Of course, it is best for my brother to send his relatives. I originally planned to take my wife on a tour of the mountains and rivers and make a detour back to Xudu. If my brother follows, then I can only go back directly. ”

"Still don't want to see me." Yuan Shang smiled: "I'll follow, you won't take a detour anymore?" ”

"It's not that I don't want to see my brother." Cao Shuo accompanied the smiling face and said to Yuan Shang: "The husband and wife are swimming in the mountains and rivers, and the brother-in-law is following, so they can't let go." Please forgive your sins! ”

Yuan Shang laughed and asked Cao Shuo, "Do these people want to stay here, or do I want to withdraw them?" ”

"Please brother to evacuate them." Cao Shuo said: "I didn't do anything bad, my brother sent someone to leak the water around the house, and outsiders thought I was under house arrest when they saw it." ”

"Anything else?" Yuan Shang asked.

"Of course." Cao Shuo said: "First I was ambushed outside the city, and then my brother sent people to surround my residence. Those who know the inside story know that my brother didn't know the inside story in order to protect me, and they thought that I had offended the Yuan family and was ambushed and not killed, so I was placed under house arrest. ”

"I didn't think about it." Yuan Shang was stunned: "Zirong really doesn't want me to send someone to protect him." ”

"Look, brother." Cao Shuo said to Yuan Shang: "Although these people under my command can't be said to be elite, if there are three or five hundred thieves, they can at least deal with them." Yecheng is under the rule of the Yuan family, even if there are thieves, who dares to come to the city? ”

"Brother doing this, on the contrary, weakens the momentum of the Yuan family." Cao Shuo arched his hand to Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang thought for a moment and said to Cao Shuo: "Zirong is right, I'll let people withdraw." When you return to Xudu with Fang'er, I will accompany you. ”

"There's Brother Law." Cao Shuo arched his hand and said.

Yuan Shang shouted to the captain: "Didn't you hear what Zirong said? Why don't you get rid of everyone soon? ”

The lieutenant responded and shouted to Yuan Jun who was present: "Gongzi has an order, withdraw immediately!" ”

The Yuan army in the courtyard withdrew one after another, and the Yuan army outside also left in line.

"Zirong, don't you plan to stay in Yecheng for a few more days?" Yuan Jun withdrew, and Yuan Shang asked Cao Shuo.

"I can't stop it." Cao Shuo said: "I came to Yecheng to marry the bride, and my father and mother waited for a hard time. Let them wait one less day and worry less. ”

"That's what Zirong said." Yuan Shang asked, "What day are you going to leave?" ”

"Just arrived in Yecheng, and everyone is also hard." Cao Shuo said: "I plan to let my subordinates rest for two days and leave early the day after tomorrow." ”

"In such a hurry?" Yuan Shang was stunned.

"Marrying the Yuan family is an important matter for both the Cao family and the Yuan family." Cao Shuo smiled: "What's more, the moment I saw Miss, I was already very fond of it, so how long can I wait?" ”

"If I leave the day after tomorrow, then I have to hurry back and prepare." Yuan Shang arched his hand and said, "I'll leave first." ”

"Congratulations to my brother." Cao Shuo returned the salute, sent Yuan Shang to the door, and watched him get on his horse and leave.

"Childe, what do they mean?" After Yuan Shang left, Chen Zhi asked Cao Shuo.

"It's not interesting." Cao Shuo said: "The Yuan family marries their daughter, and it is reasonable for someone to send her relatives. It's just that we can't go to Hongnong again. ”

"You immediately send someone to Hongnong." Cao Shuo instructed Chen Zhi: "Find Qingchen and Qingliu, tell them, please wait for a few days, I will send Miss Yuan back to Xudu, and go to Hongnong to pick her up immediately." ”

Chen Zhi responded, and instructed a dragon rider on the side: "You go to Hongnong and relay the words of the son to Qingchen and Qingliu." ”

The dragon rider left in response.

As soon as he took a few steps, Cao Shuo stopped him: "If someone asks you what you are doing out of the city, how do you answer?" ”

The dragon pattern rider who was ordered to go to Hongnong was stunned for a moment and didn't answer.

"You must not let any outsiders know about your trip to Hongnong." Cao Shuo said: "If someone asks, you say that I asked you to go back to Xu Du to show your father that you can return in a few days." ”

"Don't worry, Childe, I wrote it down!" The dragon rider departed.

Cao Shuo said to Chen Zhi again: "In the past two days, including on the way back to Xudu, don't train the soldiers, and don't let the people of the Yuan family see it." Otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble. (To be continued......)
