The first snow is always unretained, as soon as the sun comes out, it melts, the roads become clear, and the merchants, busy transporting goods, are ready to set off again.

Cao Song stood at the gate and looked at the street, thinking that this year was about to pass, and he didn't know how his son was doing.

Cao Ang has been taking care of Cao Ming for two days, and although taking care of people is a chore, he doesn't feel hard at all.

In Cao Ming's room, Cao Ang was talking to Cao Ming, and he found that Cao Ming was in a very strange state today, talking like a child, just like his younger brother Cao Ang.

Cao Ang was a little uneasy in his heart, could it be that the injury had worsened, and he would have to find a doctor to take a look later.

"Childe's meal is here today." The servants brought the meals on time, most of them delicate dishes, and even some medicinal food in them.

The servant who delivered the meal set the meal, because Cao Ming's injury had not recovered, so Cao Ang could only eat with her.

"Let's eat first!" Cao Ang helped Cao Ming out of bed, except for convenience and bathing, he would always accompany Cao Ming.

Cao Ming touched the chopsticks with her hand, then shook her head and said, "Ming'er doesn't know how to eat with chopsticks, can you use a spoon if you want?" ”

Cao Ming's words startled Cao Ang, and even the maid next to him was stunned, how could she not make chopsticks.

Cao Ang hesitated and said, "If my sister wants to hear a joke, my eldest brother will tell you about it later, and we will eat first." ”

"I won't use it" Cao Ming's tears were about to come out, it seemed that she didn't lie to Cao Ang, obviously because she couldn't eat and was in a hurry.

"Grab a spoon!" Cao Ang thought to himself that this was bad, Cao Ming's condition was really serious, could it be that there was something wrong with the medicine he was taking.

The maid hurriedly brought a spoon, Cao Ming was finally settled, and Cao Ang saw this scene and had no desire to eat.

Cao Ang instructed the maid: "I'll go out to discuss with my mother, you take care of her first, remember to treat her as a child, and don't make her cry." ”

"No!" The maid also realized the seriousness of the problem, the queen mother was normal yesterday, and today it suddenly became like this, it must be that her condition has suddenly deteriorated again.

After Cao Ang got out of the room, he ran all the way to Ding's room, but he met Cao Song halfway and almost knocked the old lady down.

Cao Song frowned and said, "You kid has always been steady, why did you become reckless today, it's not that something happened in the house." ”

In Cao Song's impression, his grandson is the most stable, and he is also held up as filial piety by the imperial court, and he has to fly no matter how he walks today.

Cao Ang hurriedly explained: "Grandfather is angry, it's all because the grandson is in a hurry to find his mother, so he bumped into you!" ”

Cao Song thought to himself that the mansion had been quieter than before in the past two days, something special must have happened, and since this matter could be concealed from himself, then it must be an order from the Ding family.

Thinking of this, Cao Song asked: "There must have been an accident in the mansion in the past two days, don't think that I can fool around when I'm old, you tell me honestly what happened?" ”

Cao Ang thought that he must not tell the truth: "Grandfather is too worried, and the whole house is preparing for the New Year, all of them want to give you a big surprise." ”

After Cao Song listened to Cao Ang's explanation, he thought to himself that this matter must be not small, otherwise with Cao Ang's character, he would not deliberately hide himself.

Cao Song said with doubts: "By the way, why didn't Ming'er come out, she has been in the house for several days, and it stands to reason that the bruises should be fine." ”

Cao Ang said perfunctorily: "Because my sister said that she was tired these days and wanted to read some books in the house, we didn't bother her and let her concentrate on working hard in the house." ”

Cao Song nodded and said, "I wonder why I didn't see Ming'er, it turns out that she is working hard in the house, okay, you go to find your mother!" ”

Cao Ang left with a sigh of relief, he was almost exposed just now, but fortunately his grandfather didn't think about it over there.

Inside the cloister. Cao Song met a male servant, who was originally from the kitchen, and his presence here only meant that someone was sick and needed to be specially brought by the kitchen.

"Stop!" Cao Song suddenly drank the servant, and after the servant saw Cao Song, his face suddenly became ugly.

The servants were specially arranged by the Ding family, and the Ding family had specially explained that if they encountered some urgent situations, they would say that they didn't know anything.

The servant bowed and said, "The villain has seen the old lady, but I don't know what the old lady is looking for the villain?" ”

Cao Song questioned the servant: "Aren't you supposed to be in the kitchen, why did you come here to walk for no reason, is there someone in the house who is sick?" ”

The servant smiled and said, "Back to the old lady's words, the villain doesn't know anything, you better go and ask the lady!" ”

"Get out!" After Cao Song listened to the servant's words, he really wanted to beat the servant, but after thinking about it, the other party might really not know.

"The villain retires!" The servant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, the trick explained by the lady was really good, and the old lady really didn't ask questions.

Cao Song shook his head helplessly, thinking that the Ding family had no reason to hide himself, maybe he was thinking too much, maybe everything in the mansion was normal. ”

Just as Cao Song was thinking about things, a servant hurriedly ran over, followed by a sergeant.

Jia Shi arched his hand and said: "I have seen the old lady, I was sent by Lord Muyang of Yuzhou, and I have something to discuss with the queen's mother, I don't know if it is convenient now?" ”

Cao Song came back to his senses and said: "It turned out to be the messenger of Lord Zhoumu, the old man suddenly lost his mind just now, I really can't help you, I'll bring it over." ”

"No way!" Ding ran over in a hurry, with a little bead of sweat on his face, obviously running with enough strength.

Cao Ang also ran over with Ding, his face was also ruddy, and he must have been anxious in his heart.

"What did you tell me beforehand, Ming'er is resting." Ding realized that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly adjusted his emotions to prevent Cao Song from easily seeing the flaws.

The sergeant was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I'm here to deliver a letter, this matter has something to do with the military and politics, so it's really inconvenient to tell you." ”

Cao Song was a little annoyed and said: "Why are you messing around, the military and political affairs can't be delayed, and you don't bring the messenger to go!" ”

"Father is angry, I'll take him over!" Ding decided to branch Cao Song first, and the rest of the things would be much easier, which is not the same for everyone.

Cao Song walked back to the living room angrily, although Ding didn't want to anger him, but he didn't want him to know the truth.

Ding led the armor to the outside of the house, and at the same time, there were still doctors waiting outside, which Cao Ang sent someone to invite back, and he must have treated Cao Ming.

The doctor arched his hand and said: "I have already seen Qianjin's illness, theoretically it is a sequelae, the patient will temporarily have low behavioral ability, of course, there is still hope for recovery." ”

Ding Shi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then said to the armor: "Big brother, I'm really sorry, the queen mother had an accident a few days ago, and now although she is conscious, you can't let the child make decisions!" ”

The armor suddenly understood: "You mean that Niangniang hurt her head, and now she thinks like a child, this is not a joke!" ”

Cao Ang thought for a while and said, "Why don't you give me the letter first, I am the eldest son of Cao Zhoumu, and I can make decisions on some things." ”

Although Cao Ang said it very easily, he had no bottom in his heart, he had never been in contact with military politics, in case he made a mistake in decision-making, it would be over.

Jia Shi took out the secret letter and said: "The matter can only be done like this now, the state pastor asked me to tell the mother that Yuan Shu sent money to win him over, is it going according to the plan?" ”

Cao Ang nervously took the secret letter, the content in it was not written much, it was all the military strength of the Snow Wolf Army, and there were some things that Cao Ming explained and studied.

Cao Anggang wanted to say that it would be carried out according to the original plan, but if it was a trap, wouldn't he have made a big mistake?

"That's all?" Cao Ang felt that the content of the letter was too little, and he didn't even understand what the Snow Wolf Army was, so how did he make decisions.

The armor nodded and said, "Lord Zhou said that Niangniang knows better than him, and in order to prevent leaks, he didn't write much, so please make a decision quickly." ”

Cao Ang thought that he could only take a conservative suggestion so far, it should be okay for them to stay still, thinking that Yuan Shu would not attack them.

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Ang said: "Please tell Yang Zhoumu, just tell them not to quarrel, and wait until the mother recovers." ”

"No!" Jia Shi thought that Cao Gongzi's words were the same as if he didn't say it, and now it seems that he can only report it truthfully, and he hopes that Lord Zhou Mu can have a good countermeasure.

After sending off the armor, Cao Ang and Ding entered the house, Cao Ming was already asleep at the moment, completely unaware that the eldest brother had made a decision for him.

Originally, Cao Ming decided to let Yang Heng unite with Yuan Shu in private, first eliminate the biggest enemy Yuan Shao, and then go back to destroy Yuan Shao, who was of average strength.

Because in Cao Ming's opinion, Yuan Shao is more difficult to deal with, and once an outsider attacks Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan will definitely get involved.

At that time, Yuan Shao will definitely not be able to defeat the three alliances, even if Yuan Shu deliberately drags his feet, he is not afraid, because the combat effectiveness of the Snow Wolf Army is definitely a handful, so Cao Ming dares to fight Yuan Shao.

However, Cao Ming's plan was completely ruined, if Yang Heng did not give Yuan Shu a clear answer, the other party would definitely think that he was Yuan Shao's person, and Yuan Shao and Yang Heng had a lot of festivals, once Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Yuzhou, Yuan Shao would definitely stab Yang Heng in the back.

"Could you have made a mistake?" Ding always felt that this matter was inappropriate, this Yang Zhoumu must be Cao Ming's cronies, so he sent a secret letter to Cao Ming in private, maybe this matter is related to her husband.

Cao Ang scratched his head and said: "The book says that when the enemy's purpose is unknown, we must not move, anyway, such a decision is not necessarily a bad thing, or the Yangzhou Pastor will make his own decision." ”
