Chapter Ninety-Eight: Sacrificing Himself to Feed Wolves

"Sister Zhen'er, don't go, it's already dark, what are you going to do back? You'd better stay and stay with me for another night. ”

is about to become a mother, Cao Ling's girlish childishness has not diminished much, she grabbed the sleeve of her best friend Mi Zhen and was just coquettish, saying that she would not let Mi Zhen leave, but she didn't even look at her husband who had not seen her for more than a month. Mi Zhen over there also deliberately didn't let her eyes touch Tao Ying, and said to Cao Ling with low eyebrows: "Sister Ling'er, the envoy has returned, so please accompany you." Besides, if I don't go back at such a late hour, my brother will be worried. ”

"Afraid of what? During this time, sister, you stayed with me for three days and two ends, what did your brother say? Cao Ling said that he would leave Mi Zhen in everything, and said: "As for the nerd, he can't help with any kind of help, I told him to sleep in another room, sister, you stay with me." ”

"It's ......." Mi Zhen was a little embarrassed, and finally glanced at Tao Ying out of the corner of her eye, but quickly looked away. Tao Ying was a little embarrassed, and said hypocritically: "Miss Mi, it's going to be the second shift soon, or you can stay for another night, anyway, there are many rooms in this house, I can go to other rooms to rest." Uchiko and you are like sisters, and now that you are inconvenienced, you sleep together, and I can just ask you to help take care of Uchiko. ”

"yes." Cao Ling also persuaded: "Sister, you also said that now your brother will close the door and lock it as soon as he arrives at the first shift, and will not interact with outsiders, no one is allowed to enter or leave, sister, if you go back now, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the gate." ”

Seeing this scene, Tao Ying, who had always peeked at Mi Zhen's expression, hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade Mi Zhen to stay overnight, Mi Zhen hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, then the folk girl will disturb the envoy again, please arrange a room for the maid to rest, and the maiden will leave tomorrow." ”

Tao Ying agreed, and quickly called the maid to prepare the room, and Cao Ling over there asked Mi Zhen to stay with him, and Mi Zhen reached out and pinched Cao Ling's tender little face, showing some rare smiles, and said: "Sister Ling'er, you are now the second lady, why are you still as naughty as before?" Tao Yuanjun finally returned triumphantly from the battlefield, you should accompany him more, my sister will not accompany you tonight, and it will not be too late to accompany you later. ”

After that, Mi Zhen returned to her previous cold look, saluted Tao Ying, and then left Cao Ling's room with the maid, Tao Ying's pair of triangular eyes rotated with her body, and followed her graceful back into the night, but at this time, Cao Ling's little hand had already grabbed Tao Ying's ear, and said sourly: "Have you seen enough?" Do you want to follow up and take a look again, say a few intimate words, and continue your previous marriage? ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Tao Ying hurriedly pulled away Cao Ling's little hand, afraid that Mi Zhen would hear it, so he quickly pulled Cao Ling into the bedroom, closed the door, and then whispered to Cao Ling: "It's okay for you to be quiet, how bad is it for Miss Mi to hear?" There was nothing between me and her, nothing. ”

"Nothing?" Cao Ling sneered loudly, his little face, which already had a little pregnancy spots, was full of sarcasm, and asked Tao Ying with a smile: "Then may I ask which nerd, in the back garden of this Xuzhou Thorn Mansion, has a private engagement with Sister Zhen'er for life, and is still skin-to-skin?" It's that nerd again, who always wears the peace charm that Sister Zhen'er asked for him on his body, and he is reluctant to take it off until now? ”

Saying that, Cao Ling stretched out his hand to Tao Ying's neck, and forcibly pulled out the silk embroidery sachet that Tao Ying hung on his chest with red thread, and said with more jealousy: "The craftsmanship is so ingenious, no wonder I asked you where this sachet came from before, and you want to tell the ghost what Ah Li embroidered for you." I wondered, how can a woman in a raccoon dress have more skillful craftsmanship than me? ”

"As far as your little bit of female craftsmanship is concerned, it seems that normal girls are more clever than you, right?" Tao Ying muttered in his heart, his face was full of embarrassment, and asked with a wry smile, "How did Madam know about these things?" It can't be that Miss Mi told you, right? ”

"How do you care I know? I just ask you, are there any of these things? Cao Ling asked fiercely.

The evidence of the crime was conclusive, and Tao Ying didn't want to quibble, so the surname Suo nodded, and quickly explained: "But I can't blame me, if you want to blame, you have to blame, if it wasn't for you, a little girl, who was suspicious and didn't listen to me and talk nonsense, so Miss Mi misunderstood." It's all you, if it weren't for you, there wouldn't be anything afterward. ”

"You're, and you're here to blame me?" Cao Ling was furious, rushed up and wanted to pull Tao Ying's ears again, Tao Ying was afraid of hurting the fetus in her womb and didn't dare to make a big move, but took advantage of the situation to hold Cao Ling into his arms, put his face on Cao Ling's little face, and said with a pleasant face: "Good Ling'er, good, I admit that I used to be lustful and wrong, but these are all things in the past, you don't care, and I swear, I won't deal with her casually in the future." ”

"Really?" Cao Ling raised her beautiful eyes to look at Tao Ying, her little face was full of disdain, and she said, "Do you think I will believe it?" ”

"It's true, the matter between me and her is over, and there is no turning back." Tao Ying sighed lightly, and took the initiative to take off the sachet that he had been wearing for nearly a year, and explained: "I have been wearing this sachet because I think the peace charm in this sachet seems to have a little effect. If Madame doesn't like it, then I won't wear it in the future. ”

Saying that, Tao Ying also took the initiative to hand the sachet embroidered by Mi Zhen to Cao Ling, Cao Ling pouted and wrinkled his cute little nose, seemed to be very dissatisfied with Tao Ying's words and deeds, took the sachet and put it back on for Tao Ying, and muttered: "Since this peace charm is so useful, then you can always wear it, and when you go on the expedition, I can rest assured at home." ”

"Then you don't suspect it?" Tao Ying asked with a smile.

"Phew! Who doubts? Cao Ling still had an arrogant look, and snorted: "Suspicious of you? You have so many women out there, I guess you can come over? Out of sight and out of mind. ”

Sourly humming, Cao Ling wanted to break free from Tao Ying's embrace, but Tao Ying hadn't been able to touch a woman for forty or fifty days, this would be warm nephrite in his arms, and he smelled the familiar body fragrance on Cao Ling's body, and the little Tao Ying below was already ready to move, hugging Cao Ling and refusing to let go, and also came to Cao Lingzhu's white and tender little ears, Yinxiao said: "Madam, you are inconvenient, let your husband carry you to bed, and then your husband will carefully check for Mrs. to see how big her belly is these days." ”

"you!" Cao Ling was ashamed, pushed away Tao Ying's mouth with the smell of wine, and said coquettishly: "It's been four months, I can't do it." ”

"Afraid of what?" Tao Ying said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, it seems that I couldn't have sex in the first three months and the last three months, and now it's been three months, and it's okay." Come on, ma'am, my husband wants you to death. ”

Saying that, Tao Yingdu couldn't wait to pull Cao Ling's clothes, but Cao Ling was ashamed and angry, struggling to resolutely refuse, and said angrily: "No, what if I hurt my son?" I can't hold back and go to another room to sleep, I'll sleep alone tonight, so you won't have to be entangled. ”

Tao Ying, who urgently needed to vent his physiology, insisted for a long time, but Cao Ling was worried about hurting the fetus, so he always insisted on refusing to comply, and finally Tao Ying had no choice but to let go of Cao Ling, and said dejectedly: "Madam, you forced me, I can get a room to spend the night tonight." ”

"Get out!" Cao Ling shouted angrily, and snorted again: "If you bear it, you will live with that little vixen every day in the future, and you don't need to come to see me." ”

When he met such a superb wife, Tao Ying had no choice but to sigh and say: "Okay, I'll live here tonight, and I won't touch you, right?" Ah leave there, I'll go again tomorrow. ”

Hearing Tao Ying's words, Cao Ling finally showed a satisfied smile, let Tao Ying sit on the bed, and asked Tao Ying to change his clothes and take off his shoes, but when Tao Ying took off his clothes, Cao Ling changed his mind and stopped Tao Ying: "Nerd, I thought for a while, you better go and see Sister Zhen'er, she must still be crying in the room now, you go and comfort her for me, and then you can sleep there if you like to sleep there, I will rest alone tonight." ”

The tigress's wife actually let herself go to the room of other beauties in the middle of the night, Tao Ying really suspected that her ears heard it wrong, and asked Cao Ling in confusion if she was joking, but Cao Ling said impatiently: "Who is laughing with you?" Zhen'er often spent the night with me during this time, and often woke up crying in dreams, quietly crying alone in the middle of the night, pitiful and tight, I know that she is crying because of you, you go and comfort her, she may be better. ”

"It's easy to comfort her, but what if you comfort me too?" Tao Ying asked with a wry smile.

Cao Ling didn't answer, twisted his face to the wall, and muttered for a long time, "I don't know how to blush, just with you nerd, how can Sister Zhen'er be able to see it?" ”

"Ma'am, you're not kidding?" Tao Ying was even more surprised.

"Hmm." Cao Ling replied quickly this time, and it was rare to bring some pity in her tone, and said in a low voice: "Sister Zhen'er has become like this, I also have some responsibilities, heart disease still needs heart medicine, maybe your comfort can make her better." Go ahead, I'm going to sleep. ”

"It's good to know you're responsible." Tao Ying muttered in his heart, and saw that Cao Ling's attitude seemed to be very serious, and he hesitated for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "Then I'll go and take a look, try to comfort and comfort her, but don't worry, I won't mess around." ”

Cao Ling didn't answer, there was a slight snoring, and Tao Ying hesitated for a while, and finally blew out the candle lightly, and went out lightly, but the moment the door closed, Cao Ling suddenly opened his closed eyes and scolded softly, "Nerd, sure enough, it's the same as Sister Zhen'er, you haven't forgotten her." ”

……………… Cao Ling was a little wronged by Deputy Director Tao this time, Deputy Director Tao really hasn't forgotten Mi Zhen in his heart, but the idea of renewing the front edge with Mi Zhen is really not, because Tao Ying is still doubting Mi Zhu's true intention to return to Xuzhou, the last time Tao Ying deliberately showed weakness to announce the defeat of the Xuzhou army in Huaiyin, as a result, Liu Bei came to take advantage of the fire to rob, although there is no evidence to prove that the news was passed by Mi Zhu, but there is no evidence that Mi Zhu did not do it, so even if no matter how Mi Zhu changed his mind, After changing his past wrongs, Tao Ying has always refused to relax his vigilance against him - hating the house and Wu, this level of vigilance naturally affects Mizhen's sister.

Because of this, even if he got the acquiescence of Cao Ling, the little vinegar jar, to get along with Mi Zhen alone, Tao Ying didn't think about anything to reunite with Mi Zhen, but just wanted to take this opportunity to confide in Mi Zhen and explain his bitterness of forcing Liu Bei to execute Mi Fang, even if he couldn't get Mi Zhen's understanding, he could be calm in front of Mi Zhen in the future, and he didn't have to be like these few meetings, he was full of guilt when he saw Mi Zhen, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't even speak.

After asking the next person about the room where Mi Zhen was staying, he slipped to the door of the guest room, and the light of the candle flame was still shining in the window, Tao Ying hesitated again, and said that Lao Tzu was just explaining the misunderstanding in the past anyway, and he didn't want to do anything bad, so what could he hesitate? Thinking about this, Tao Ying finally knocked on the door a few times and said in a low voice: "Miss Mi, Tao Ying asks to see you in Xiaxia." ”

There was no reply in the room, Tao Ying knocked on the door again, reported his identity again, and explained the intention, "Miss Mi, Tao Ying only has a few words to say to you, there is no other meaning, if it is inconvenient for the girl to meet with Zaixia, please make it clear that Zai Xia will never force it." ”

There was still no sound in the room, Tao Ying waited for a long time, and was about to leave in disappointment, when he just raised his legs, the door in front of him was opened with a squeak, and under the moonlight, a pair of beautiful eyes that had been red and swollen from crying appeared in front of Tao Ying. Tao Ying was overjoyed, hurriedly bowed to Mi Zhen, and said: "Miss Mi, I take the liberty to disturb below, I just want to explain a little to the girl about the previous matter, and please don't misunderstand." ”

"You don't need to explain." Mi Zhen's expression was still cold, and although her voice was choked, it was also cold, "What happened before, my brother has already introduced the Minnu in detail, it is our Mi family who is ungrateful, eating inside and out, I'm sorry for the father and son, the second brother of the Minnu also deserves it, and it has nothing to do with the Jun." Make Jun magnanimous and not remember the old evil, and allow the Minnu's family to return to Xuzhou to live, away from the war, the Minnu is grateful, even if she is broken, it is difficult to ensure the kindness of the Jun, so the Jun does not have to explain. ”

After saying these words extremely coldly, Mi Zhen closed the door again, Tao Ying couldn't say anything more, only heard Mi Zhen's footsteps and hurried into the back room, and then a suppressed crying voice soon came from the back room, Tao Ying was also embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do. After hesitating for a moment, Tao Ying reached out and knocked on the door again, but found that Mi Zhen did not bolt the door from the inside, and the door opened in response.

Mi Zhen was already lying on the bed with her clothes, covering her face with the quilt and crying in pain, Tao Ying walked to the side of the bed lightly, and whispered a word Mi girl, Mi Zhen's thin and graceful body was shocked, hidden in the quilt and choked up: "The folk girl has already said, so that you don't need to explain, the folk girl is brave, please make the gentleman leave quickly." ”

Of course, Tao Ying refused to leave, and simply sat on Mi Zhen's bed, and called softly, "Zhen'er." ”

Although Tao Ying's voice was not loud, but for Mi Zhen, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the suppressed cry was suddenly stopped, and the little hand that grabbed the horn of the spring onion was also clenched white, Tao Ying whispered again: "Zhen'er, I know that you are bitter in your heart, and I know that you hate me, but what I have to tell you is that I have no choice, Xuzhou is my father's inheritance, if I don't try my best to preserve, then I am unfilial, Tao Qian is my father, someone harms him, if I don't stop it, don't punish the murderer severely, then I am not as good as a beast." , just like you said, your second brother Mi Fang, that is deserved, if I spare him, how to explain to my father, and how to explain to the military and civilian people of Xuzhou? I had to do it, and I'm really sorry for you. ”

Mi Zhen seemed to calm down a little, and whispered in the quilt: "The people's daughter has already said that the people's daughter's brother deserves it, so that the king has nothing to be sorry for the people's daughter, and the people's daughter does not dare to hold a grudge against the envoy of this state." ”

"Zhen'er, don't lie to me, I know you still hate me, and blame me even more." Tao Ying smiled bitterly, Suo sat cross-legged on the bed, with his back to Mi Zhen, looking at the candle flame dancing on the candlestick in the room, not only comforting Mi Zhen, but also saying to himself: "Actually, I should die, you listened to the rumors of Cao Ling's little girl, and you came to me to ask for verification It was also a good heart, and you wanted to match me and that little girl, but I coveted your beauty, didn't tell you the truth, and lied to you." ”

"Your second brother Mi Fang hates me to the core, and your eldest brother categorically rejected my father's proposal to you for me, I know all this, but I didn't tell you the truth, and I lied to you again."

"Your brother colluded with Liu Bei to try to seize the five counties of Xuzhou, in fact, I knew from the day Liu Bei first entered Xuzhou City, and I had long been planning to get rid of your two brothers, but I never told you, and even used words from your mouth several times to change the way to grasp the movements of your two brothers, and I lied to you again."

"The night your second brother was killed, you came to me crying, if I told you the truth at that time, you probably wouldn't have to be so painful, but for the stability of Xuzhou, in order to temporarily stabilize Liu Bei's ambitious big-eared thief, and not give him the opportunity to make trouble with mobile martial arts, I still didn't treat you honestly, and I watched you cry and faint on the snow, and I didn't even pick you up. So vicious, even I am very ashamed, you hate me in your heart and blame me, and I understand it. ”

"But Zhen'er ......." Speaking of this sincerely, Tao Ying also had a sour nose, and said in a low voice: "But Zhen'er, there is one thing I didn't lie to you, I really fell in love with you at first sight, lovesick to the bone, please ask my father to ask your two brothers for marriage, in addition to wanting to win the support of your family power, the greater purpose is also to be with you, to be married to you, and to grow old with you." It's just providence that has made us ...... like this. ”

Mi Zhen never made a sound, and Tao Ying didn't think that she could make this heartbroken little girl burst into tears and laugh, but said another sentence to herself, "Zhen'er, maybe you don't believe it, acting in front of outsiders every day ago, it's the first time I've said so many things in my heart for so long, and I don't expect you to understand me and forgive me, I just want to say these things to you, so that you can understand my hardships, and also make me feel better." I have lied to you for so long, and although my conscience is not very much, it has tormented me many times. ”

After talking to himself, Tao Ying got up and stood up, and said softly: "Zhen'er, I'm leaving, you can forget about me, go find a man who loves you, I wish you happiness." ”

After that, Tao Ying really raised his legs and left, but before he took three steps, Mi Zhen's crying voice suddenly came from behind him, "Stop!" ”

Tao Ying stopped, slowly turned around, in the candlelight, Mi Zhen had already stood by the bed, tears flashed in her beautiful eyes, her long eyelashes couldn't help trembling, her cherry lips turned white, and after a long time, Mi Zhen said word by word: "I can't forget you, what should I do?" ”

"I'm already engaged, and my wife is Lu Wenhou's daughter Lu Die." Tao Ying smiled bitterly: "Ling'er, she begged for her own hardships and married her as a concubine, and her mother cried behind her back. You are also from a big family, how can I let you suffer such a grievance? ”

"I'm not afraid of grievances! I'm willing to ask for it! Mi Zhen blurted out, but before the words fell, Mi Zhen's tearful face suddenly flushed with shame, and she lowered her face shyly.

If Deputy Director Tao, an excellent public servant, did not dream of the blessing of three wives and four concubines, then such a ghost would definitely not believe it, but this will be Mi Zhen's words so frank and direct, and Deputy Director Tao, who basically relied on invoicing, was frightened for a while, and was a little at a loss. However, at this time, something happened that made Deputy Director Tao stunned, although the poor Mizhen sister was so ashamed that her face was red to the base of her neck, she still trembled and untied her belt, and untied the curvature on her body, revealing the moon-white clothes she was wearing in it............ "Zhen'er......, what are you doing here?" ”

Deputy Director Tao, who had a good style, was a little nervous, and hurriedly came over to stop Mi Zhen, but Mi Zhen took the initiative to hug Tao Ying, buried her hot pretty face in Tao Ying's arms, and said softly: "Tao Lang, I'm not afraid of grievances, I'm also willing to ask for hardship, I don't want a name, I just need ...... to be with you, and I can ...... with you." ”

The fragrance was fragrant, nephrite was in his arms, and Deputy Director Tao didn't care about whether there was an invoice or whether he could be reimbursed for a while, but he just picked up Mi Zhen's pretty face and kissed her soft cherry lips heavily, Mi Zhen didn't resist, just opened a pair of white and round jade arms like lotus roots, and tightly hooked Tao Ying's neck............ I don't know how long it has passed, when the candle flame on the case is about to burn out, the exhausted Tao Ying finally fell asleep, and Mi Zhen, who was stripped into an aries, burst into tears, snuggled weakly on Tao Ying**'s chest, and the hot tears fell down Tao Ying's chest one by one, but Tao Ying didn't know anything, just fell asleep loudly............ "Brother, Xuande Gong, I succeeded!" Second brother, I finally succeeded! ”

The white and tender little hand slowly touched the black and green silk, and pulled out a golden hairpin from the bun, the tip of the hairpin was sharp, reflecting the cyan color in the faint candlelight, and the tip of the hairpin was driven by the small hand that was whitish at the joints, and slowly pointed to Tao Ying's fragile eyelids............ "Brother, you go out of the city from the tunnel alone, Zhen'er will not go back, Zhen'er will die with this thief." Silently chattering, the other little hand also quietly clenched nervously, and also grabbed a soft cloth ball............ "Huh? What is this? ”
