The snow was still falling, and it was heavier than the night before.

There was already a thick layer of snow on the ground.

Horses walk on snow-covered roads, making strings of horseshoe prints.

Walking on a snowy day is a bit more difficult than on a day when there is no snow.

Leaving the village early in the morning, it was not until the evening that Cao Shuo and others entered Shouchun.

After entering the city, Cao Shuo asked Chen Zhi and others to lead the troops back to the barracks first, and he accompanied Tian Feng to his residence first.

Tian Feng's residence is a small house in Shouchun City.

Coming to the door of the house, Cao Shuo said to Tian Feng: "Tian Gong, this is your residence in Shouchun. ”

Looking up at the plaque with two bronzing characters "Tianfu" written on the door, Tian Feng said: "When you come to Shouchun, you have a place to stay, why did the son buy such a big house?" ”

"Tian Gong wants to help me win the world." Cao Shuo said: "I just bought a house for Tian Gong, compared to the world, what is this?" ”

"Childe is magnificent, no wonder everyone under his command uses their lives." Tian Feng said: "Presumably, all the princes who came here in the past also have their own houses. ”

"Of course." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Although I encourage childbearing, there are no twenty years, and Shouchun will not be prosperous." Taking advantage of the small number of people in Shouchun, there are not many houses, and they will not be able to afford to buy them in the future. ”

"Childe laughed." Tian Feng said: "The whole Shouchun is the son's, is it possible that you still have to buy a house?" ”

"Of course you want to buy it." Cao Shuo said: "You can't take it from the people, what's the difference between that and Yuan Shu?" ”

"That's what Childe said." Tian Feng responded.

Cao Shuo said to him: "It's not a place to talk outside the door, isn't Tian Gong going to invite me in for a cup of tea?" ”

Tian Feng hurriedly said: "I only cared about talking to my son, but I actually forgot about the important things." Childe, please! ”

Before entering the main gate, Tian Feng saw many maids and servants standing in the front yard.

Seeing Cao Shuo coming in with a person, these maids and servants knew that it was their lord who came, and they saluted one after another: "I've seen the son, I've seen the lord." ”

"Childe...... This is ......" Seeing so many maids and servants, Tian Feng was stunned for a moment and asked Cao Shuo.

"These are the people who serve Tian Gong." Cao Shuo said: "When Tian Gong came to Huainan, he couldn't do everything himself, and some things at home were still left to the maids and servants to do. ”

Everything he saw in front of him was enough to prove that Cao Shuo had been preparing for a long time before he came to Shouchun, and Tian Feng couldn't help but feel inexplicably moved in his heart: "Gongzi treats me like this, dare not die?" ”

"Tian Gong still went to the back house to have a look." Cao Shuo gestured to Tian Feng, and then instructed a maid: "Lead the way ahead." ”

The maid answered, and led the way for Cao Shuo and Tian Feng on the side.

Entering the back garden, Tian Feng found that it was more spacious than the front yard.

The courtyard is very elegantly arranged, and the thick snow brings a different kind of elegance to this house.

"What a tasteful place." Tian Feng said: "Living in such a house must be refreshing. It just so happened that this time I came to Huainan and caught up with the wind and snow, which was a little more elegant. Dare to ask Childe, who helped me choose this mansion? ”

"Pang Shiyuan." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "When he chose the house, he told me that Tian Gong must like such a place." ”

"I like it, I like it so much!" Tian Feng said: "If I have the opportunity, I will definitely come to the door to thank Pang Gong." ”

"In the future, Tian Gong and Shi Yuan will be colleagues, and there will definitely be many opportunities for mutual exchanges." Cao Shuo said: "There is always a chance to say thank you or something. ”

"Childe, I wonder if I can go and visit the frustrated father?" Tian Feng suddenly asked Cao Shuo.

He once mentioned to Cao Shuo that after coming to Shouchun, he would visit Fu Zhu and persuade him to forget Hebei and follow Cao Shuo wholeheartedly from now on.

Tian Feng mentioned that he wanted to see Fu Zhu, Cao Shuo hesitated and said: "Tian Gong must be tired when he arrives in Shouchun, and it is safer for Fu Gong to go there tomorrow......"

"It's still early, and it's snowing, so it shouldn't matter at this time." Tian Feng said: "At this time, I asked him to drink freely and met my old colleagues, because I should have something to say." ”

"That's what Tian Gong said." Cao Shuo thought for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, I will no longer stop it." ”

He instructed Cai Ji: "You take a few people to accompany Tian Gong to the Fu Gong's mansion, and then send Tian Gong back when you turn around." Wei Tu returned home with me. ”

Cai Ji and Wei Tu responded.

Cao Shuo said to Tian Feng again: "Since Tian Gong is going to visit Fu Gong, I will not delay any longer and retire first." ”

"Childe go slowly!" Tian Feng followed Cao Shuo and sent him to the main gate.

After seeing Cao Shuo leave, Tian Feng said to Cai Ji: "Please also ask Captain Cai to lead the way." ”

"Tian Gong, please!" Cai Ji gestured to him.

Following Cai Ji out of the residence, Tian Feng glanced back.

Cai Ji said: "Don't worry, even if you can't remember the way, I will lead the way for Tian Gong when I come back." ”

"There's Captain Lao Cai." Tian Feng thanked him.

After walking along the street for a while, turning a corner, Tian Feng asked Cai Ji, "Is the residence of the Duke of Fu far from here?" ”

"It's not that far." Cai Ji replied: "Just walk two more streets." ”

"How old is Shouchun?" When he first returned to Shouchun, Tian Feng did not know the scale of this city.

"Shouchun City is actually not big." Cai Ji whispered to Tian Feng: "Say something that shouldn't be said, this city, if you pee from the north of the city, it can be poured on the city wall in the south of the city." ”

Tian Feng laughed: "Such a small city, how can it be used as the capital of Chu in the late Warring States period?" ”

"If you ask Childe about these, maybe he will know, but I really don't know." Cai Ji smiled and said to Tian Feng: "Before following Gongzi, I was just an ordinary guard, if Gongzi hadn't taken me out of Wancheng, I would have died a long time ago." ”

"So you're the one who originally followed Childe?" Tian Feng asked.

"Sort of." Cai Ji said with a smile: "Wei Tu and I were the first soldiers led by Gongzi, and there were some people at the same time as the two of us. Those people are now all big or small officers in the army, and some have died in battle, only Wei Tu and I have always followed Gongzi. ”

"Did Captain Cai follow his son to Yecheng in the first place?" Tian Feng asked again.

"I've been." Cai Ji replied: "Childe will take me and Wei Tu wherever he goes, and we both follow him when we go to Yecheng twice." ”

"No wonder it looks familiar." Tian Feng said with a smile: "It turns out that Captain Cai and I are still acquaintances. ”

"Tian Gong is high up in Hebei or Huainan, I am just a small captain, how dare I call Tian Gong's acquaintance." Cai Ji smiled, pointed to Tian Feng and said, "Tian Gong, not far from the front is the residence of Fu Gong." ”
