The suburbs of Xudu, Fufu.

Far from the prosperity of the capital, but it is not overgrown with weeds and lifeless, and its lord does not want to disturb it.

It was night, the house was brightly lit, and I saw a figure in the main house, pacing back and forth, back and forth, restless, how many nights I couldn't sleep peacefully, I can't count how many nights.

The door was pushed open, and the visitor knelt down in front of him, "General." ”

"Any news?" Fu Wan was anxious and quickly let him get up.

"There is no news of the general's expectations."

After almost fainting, it has been nearly three months since my daughter left a book and ran away, and every time she sends someone to inquire, she finds nothing. Fu Shou is his only daughter, if there is any accident, how can he explain to his dead wife? He took out the letter left by his daughter to him, with tears in his eyes, daughter, if you don't want to marry Your Majesty, talk to your father well, why bother to refuse. Because the beloved daughter has a marriage contract with His Majesty, now that the daughter has run away, she cannot let the world know, so she has to send her cronies to inquire in the dark. But every time I go home, I can't hear what I want to hear the most.

"It seems...... I had to plead guilty with Your Majesty. ”

"It's the incompetence of his subordinates, how can he make the general ask for guilt? The villain should be allowed to plead guilty. ”

"You have been running back and forth for me, it is enough, this is my family's business, how can outsiders be convicted. Go down, and I'll write everything down, and I'll play it tomorrow. After he had finished lying down, he had no choice but to give up and leave.

Just after the end of the pen, the door of the house was pushed open again, but the person who came was the personal maid of her daughter Fu Shou, spring. She seemed to rush back to the house from outside, looking anxious, "General, general...... Army,"

"What's wrong with you? Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly. After Fu finished handing her tea, let her drink water to relieve her breath. Spring is indeed out of breath, and he took the teacup and took a sip, which eased his breath.

"General, during the day, you asked Chunyi to go out to buy some pens and go home, and Chunyi went according to your wishes, but I didn't expect to meet the prime minister's son in the store, Cao Pi. Chunyi naturally didn't know such a son, and after he left, he continued. Because the store was deferential and respectful to him, he was curious and asked which son the other party was, and then he knew that it was the son of the prime minister. Ben was just a question, but the store said that a month ago, I saw him and a woman go to the inn, and after a long time I didn't see the two come out, and the inn is face to face, if the son of the Cao family goes out of the inn, he must have seen it, and the woman is very strange, I have never seen any woman so close to him, I am afraid that it is the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Cao Cheng. Chunyi wondered if it would be a female son-in-law (1), so she asked the shopkeeper again about the woman's appearance, but the shopkeeper said that she was familiar with Cao Gongzi, and her body shape would not be mistaken, and the woman's appearance was not real. Chunyi pondered for a long time, thought about it or had to go to the inn to ask, so he decided to go to the inn, stuffed the money to the little two, the little two said that a month ago there was indeed a generous son and girl to come, and then the appearance of the son-in-law told him to listen, he said that the girl is indeed like this, thank the little two, Chunyi rushed back to the house. General, you say this woman ......"

"It's getting late, you should rest early." What Chunyi didn't expect was that the general was unmoved after hearing the news, and he was also very worried about the departure of the son-in-law, as a personal maid, after all, this master was very good to himself and had never been majestic and harsh. Since the general was like this, he didn't have much to say, so he had to salute and say, "Yes." ”

Fu Wan sent people to look around, almost turned Xu up and down, only the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Palace have not been found, she is a weak woman, if you want to go to other cities, you must need a coachman, but the whole city coachman asked one by one, none of them have seen their daughter, all the post stations and inns in Xu Du did not ask any news, and the inn that Chunyi said, I am afraid that he had asked earlier, if his daughter really had dealings with the son of the Cao family, how would he know about the affairs in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Daughter, daughter, is Cao Cao someone you and I can afford to provoke? If it weren't for the suspicion, how could he have presented the seal ribbon (2) and demoted himself to an official position. Even if he is the son of the Cao family, isn't it related to Cao Cao. The news brought by spring does bring hope, but it also brings worry.

Write down the truth and hope to present it to Your Majesty. All night with candles, he didn't feel sleepy.

In the morning, he left the house early and waited outside the prime minister's mansion.

After Fu Wan, he didn't let anyone report it, but just waited outside the house. The slight footsteps sounded behind him, thinking that it was the prime minister, but he didn't look at anyone, so he saluted and said, "Meet the prime minister after bowing." ”

"General Fu, not the Prime Minister, it's Guo. To the disappointment of the general. The voice was calm but not majestic, and when he looked up, he saw that the man in white in front of him was handsome and extraordinary. It was Cao Cao's military advisor - Guo Jia.

"It was a military advisor." Although he is just a scheming military advisor, he is Cao Cao's right-hand man, and he also does not dare to slack off.

"General Fu came here this morning to find the prime minister?" Guo Jia looked at Fu Wan, those eyes seemed to be insightful of him, the other party was just a literati, but it was not quite the same as other literati, and his expression was calm, but Fu Wan, who was a military general, couldn't help but admire the other party's courage.

"This ...... Not really. ”

"I'm afraid that the general came for nothing, and he drank with the prime minister last night, and the adult is still asleep at the moment, and he can't see anyone. If the general has something, Guo can tell him on his behalf. ”

"Don't bother the military advisor, I'll leave after the ambush." Fu Wan, who wanted to explore the truth and reality, faced Guo Jia, he didn't know how to speak, so he had to give up.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, and Guo will not leave the general behind. I heard that General Fu's beloved daughter was about to marry His Majesty, and that the son-in-law would soon become a great man, Guo congratulated the general on his promotion to the national ruler. Guo Jia already knew that General Fu's daughter had left a book and ran away, and she still has no whereabouts, so I don't know if this general can deal with it. He must have come here today because he realized that his daughter had something to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's just that it's too late for him to realize...... Guo Jia thought of the woman who was killed, she didn't feel good in her heart, she shouldn't have died in Huangquan, her face appeared in her mind, Guo Jia didn't know what was going on, she was obviously a strange woman, but the feeling was both familiar and happy......

As Guo Jia expected, his face was embarrassed, so he had to smile awkwardly, "Thank you to the military advisor, the little girl is fortunate to be able to marry Your Majesty." After finishing speaking, he made a gesture and left.

On the other side, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Pi was practicing swords and martial arts, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, but he didn't stop, he was irritable, since he "killed" Mo Yan, because he couldn't let his father notice, he only looked for it once, but he couldn't find Mo Yan, he didn't even know whether Mo Yan was alive or dead, Mo Yan, where are you, if I find you, I will not let you leave again.

Not long after Cao Zhi woke up, he saw his brother practicing swords and martial arts, and couldn't help but sigh that he was really diligent. It's just that he's full of thoughts, I don't know why?
