Led the army into the territory of the Lujiang River.

Cao Shuo asked Pang Tong, "Will Shiyuan return to Shouchun with me, or will he continue to stay in Wancheng?" ”

"Although the matter on Jingzhou's side has been disposed of, the Jiangdong Sun family still has to guard against it." Pang Tong said: "Lujiang is connected to Jiangdong in the east and Jingzhou in the west, if there is no one to guard it, it is really not good." ”

Looking at Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and the others, Cao Shuo asked, "General Lu, can they follow me back to Shouchun?" ”

"Jingzhou has been stabilized, even if Jiangdong sends troops to attack, the defenders of Lujiang will be able to deal with it." Pang Tong said: "General Lu, they have more important things to do in the future, and they don't need to stay in Anhui City." ”

Looking ahead, Cao Shuo said to Pang Tong: "Xuzhou has Sima Zhongda, Qingzhou has Xu Yuanzhi, and now the most I can't let go of is Yangzhou and Qingzhou, both of which only account for half of the wall, and you and Yuanzhi have not been able to fully exert themselves." ”

"Don't worry, Childe, sooner or later, the whole world will be Childe's." Pang Tong smiled slightly and said to Cao Shuo.

"Cheng Shi Yuan Jiyan." Cao Shuo replied with a smile.

Glancing back at Cao Pi who was following the team, Pang Tong lowered his voice and asked, "Why didn't Gongzi let Guo Fengxiao bring the second son back to Xudu?" ”

"Let Guo Fengxiao take him back to Xudu?" Cao Shuo asked, "Why?" ”

"Don't you think that if he is in Shouchun, he will cause a lot of trouble?" Pang Tong said: "Although it is a brother, it is still a ......"

"I know." Cao Shuo said: "It's not just Shiyuan who reminded me, but some things are too early to say. It won't be long before I return to Shouchun, and my father will inevitably let me go to Xudu. At that time, I will personally send him back, so that I can give my father an explanation. ”

"It's good that Childe knows." Pang Tong said: "The day before is almost to Wancheng, do you want to lead the army to rest in Wancheng for some days?" ”

"It's enough for the brothers of the Yuan family in Hebei to make a fuss." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I still have a lot of things to do when I return to Shouchun, and if I stay outside for one more day, it will be delayed for a day." It's still a lot of chaos, and I don't have much time to spend outside. ”

"Wancheng is not outside." Pang Tong smiled: "It's still under the rule of Gongzi." ”

"That's right." Cao Shuo said: "Jingzhou will not make trouble with us in the past two years, but the Jiangdong Sun family still has to be wary. Shiyuan is in Anhui City, and the burden is not light. ”

"Childe has borne a lot heavier than me, and he has never complained, how dare I say that the burden on my body is too heavy." Pang Tong said: "Lujiang is guarded by me, and no one will be allowed to find the slightest gap." ”

"With Shiyuan here, I'm still relieved." Cao Shuo replied.

That night, Cao Shuo ordered the army to be stationed in the field.

It's not that there is no city that can accommodate a large army in the future, but Cao Shuo didn't do that because he considered that entering the city to raise troops and mobilize the people, it would bring unnecessary trouble to the place.

In the wilderness, Cao Jun's tents were everywhere.

The tent of Huang Chengyan and others was not far from Cao Shuo's tent.

The moon was rising, and the bright moonlight cast a thin layer of silver on the tent.

Bonfires were lit at intervals in the barracks.

Two or three soldiers would sit around the campfire.

In the shadows not far from the campfire, there will also be hidden soldiers on duty.

Cao Shuo walked out of the tent and looked up at the bright moon.

Gentle footsteps approached from not far away.

Cai Ji, who was following Cao Shuo, asked vigilantly, "Who is it?" ”

"It's me." Huang Chengyan's voice came from the darkness.

Hearing that it was Huang Chengyan, Cao Shuo motioned for Cai Ji to step back, and greeted with a slight smile: "Why hasn't Huang Gong slept yet?" ”

"When I'm away from home, I always have trouble sleeping." Huang Chengyan replied.

"Madame and Mademoiselle are already asleep, aren't they?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"Not either." Looking back at the tent that was still lit by oil lights, Huang Chengyan said: "They are the same, since they left Jingzhou, the two of them have been chatting late every night. ”

"Madame and Mademoiselle haven't slept yet?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"Not yet." Huang Chengyan replied again.

"Can I go and pay a visit?" Cao Shuo said: "Since I left Jingzhou, I haven't visited Mrs. and Miss. ”

Of course, Huang Chengyan knew that Cao Shuo didn't really want to visit, but wanted to see how ugly Huang Yueying was.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded and said, "Since the prince is willing to see them, I will go back and inform them first." ”

"I'm sorry." Cao Shuo arched his hand again.

Huang Chengyan retreated, and Cao Shuo took Cai Ji to his tent.

After waiting outside the tent of Huang Chengyan's family for a while, the curtain was lifted from the inside, and Huang Chengyan walked out.

"Please move into the tent!" Bowing his hand, Huang Chengyan said.

After thanking him, Cao Shuo walked into the tent.

Seeing him enter the tent, Mrs. Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying stood up and saluted.

gave his wife a return salute first, and Cao Shuo's eyes fell on Huang Yueying.

is only ten years old, and Huang Yueying has not yet become a big girl.

She lowered her head, and Cao Shuo saw many small raised bumps on her forehead.

"Could you please raise your head?" Cao Shuo asked.

Huang Yueying didn't look up, Huang Chengyan said on the side: "Childe spoke, didn't you hear it?" ”

When her father spoke, Huang Yueying raised her head.

When she raised her head, Cao Shuo understood why Mrs. Cai said that Huang Yueying has become uglier and uglier in the past two years.

It's not that her facial features aren't good-looking, it's that her skin is dark, and her face and forehead are covered with small pimples like prickly heat.

With just one glance, Cao Shuo knew that Huang Yueying was not really ugly, but there was something wrong with her skin.

If left in 2,000 years, such skin problems can be easily cured.

But now it is in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Not to mention the drugs used to treat the skin, the cosmetics that are used to make up women are very simple.

In the eyes of many people, the pimple on Huang Yueying's face is simply impossible to heal successfully.

Huang Yueying raised her head, and Huang Chengyan said to Cao Shuo with a face full of shame: "Childe...... If it's too late to regret it at this time......"

"Repentance?" Cao Shuo asked, "What do you regret?" ”

"The marriage of the son and the little girl." Huang Chengyan snorted and said, "If you feel that it is not suitable......"

"I think it's a good fit." Cao Shuo's answer not only surprised Huang Chengyan a little, but even his wife was inexplicably moved.

Huang Yueying is really ugly, and everyone who has seen her in the past two years will show strange expressions.

Although few people say that their daughter is ugly in front of Huang Chengyan and his wife, the couple is like a mirror in their hearts.

Cao Shuo was still the first person who did not show his dislike for Huang Yueying.

Walking in front of Huang Yueying, Cao Shuo turned his head and smiled at Huang Chengyan and his wife: "Back in Shouchun, I hope that Miss can live with me." When she gets married, I will return two beautiful daughters. ”
