When they first set off, the eldest princess and the master also followed the holy car, but it seemed that not long after leaving Luoyang, there was no news of the master and the eldest princess. Naturally, they can't be lost, and the only possibility is that they have another mission.

Bright cultivation of shallow roads, darkness of Chen Cang!

He carried out the southern tour so hard, in itself to deliberately attract the attention of others, but the real means were always hidden in the shadows.

But when is it?

Wan Wandai's eyebrows frowned slightly, a little puzzled where they were now, and at the same time a little more abrupt. Even people like themselves, who have always been with them, have not noticed when the master and the others have left and where they have gone. Those who have always followed the movements of the First Emperor are naturally more difficult to detect.

And by the time they found out, they were afraid that it was too late.

Wan Wan suddenly laughed, her big eyes narrowed into two crescents, as if she had seen those people crying to death: "Giggles, you are really bad enough." People think you really plan to fight with them, but it turns out that you have already prepared. Hmph, the harm is so long. ”

Wan Wan said, glancing at Mo Chen angrily, and showing her dissatisfaction with her head high.

Mo Chen scratched the bridge of her tall nose and said with a smile: "I didn't deliberately hide it from you, if it weren't for the fact that you have been absent-minded recently, how could you not have noticed it until now." I don't know what trouble our girl Wanwan has encountered recently, do you want us to give you a counselor. ”

Wan Wan's expression was unnatural for a moment, and she sighed helplessly in her heart.

Ever since she felt that Zhu Yuyan was abnormal, she began to investigate the reason. In the end, all the results pointed to the evil emperor relics, but no matter how much speculation there was, it was just speculation without evidence after all, and before she figured out what happened to Zhu Yuyan, she naturally couldn't tell Mo Chen her worries.

Wanwan's mood was low for a moment, and she cleaned up her complicated feelings.

She didn't seem to have happened, she scratched the bridge of her nose like a child to Mo Chen, and bared her cute little tiger teeth dissatisfiedly, and Ruo Taohua ran out as if shyly.

Mo Chen's eyes flashed with a different color, and he understood that Wan Wan had something hidden in her heart. It's just that the other party didn't want to speak, and it was inconvenient for him to continue to ask. The most important thing is that he believes that Wan Wan is not an ignorant child, let alone a woman who does not know how to advance or retreat and has no brains. Since she didn't speak, she naturally had her thoughts and reasoning.

The purple woman's eyes were slightly closed, revealing a contemplative look.

She wasn't so careless as Mo Chen, she had already noticed Wan Wan's abnormality. Even Wan Wan's actions such as investigating the evil emperor's relics did not escape her observation. She was just thinking about what Wan Wan wanted to do and whether it would cause harm to the empire.

Hopefully, you don't do anything stupid.

The purple girl withdrew her gaze from Wan Wan's departing figure, and turned to look at Zhen Ji and Fu Junwu, who had always lowered their heads, as if this would make people unable to see themselves, and the corners of her mouth outlined a cold color.

They're going to be two good knives!

Cao family.

The ancestral residence of the Cao family is not located in Changping, but a small city about 100 miles northwest of Changping. Since the first emperor's southern tour, the Cao family has become busy. Although most people don't know what is going on in the clan, whether it is the carriage in and out, or the servants in a hurry in the house, it all shows the noise and busyness of the Cao family.

Especially after Cao Gong proposed to show the power of the family to the First Emperor, this busyness reached its peak.

Every day, visitors from all over the world want to visit Cao's house. Those who have great ability want to visit Cao Gong, and those who are incapable want to visit the current speaker of the Cao family.

In the living room of the Cao family, two middle-aged people sat on it.

One of them has a national character face, although his figure is not tall, but his words and deeds make people heartbreaking. He always has a confident smile on his face, as if everything is under control, giving people a great sense of confidence. This person is the person who talks about the Cao family, Cao Zhi, the eldest grandson of Cao Gong.

The other was wide and fat, and was dressed in gorgeous clothes. He sat there like a mountain of meat, with a humble smile on his face. This person is the head of the Pingcheng Lin family, the head of the family with a lot of status in the south. Of course, if it is compared with the Cao family, it is no less than the rich businessman and the poor, and there is no comparison at all.

"Brother Lin, rest assured, now that most of the families have responded to our call, and with the support of King Chang and other powerful princes of the royal family, there will definitely be no problem with this trip." Cao Zhi did not show any abnormality because of the other party's appearance and identity, and always maintained a gentle and indifferent attitude.

"That's good, that's good." Seeing Cao Zhi's confident expression, the head of the Lin family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Lin family is just an insignificant part, a pawn who waving flags and shouting behind the big guy. The bigwigs are so confident, and it won't be too bad to think about it. After all, this is a war with the First Emperor, and the defeat and the destruction of the whole clan are the best results.

Even if the bigwigs lose their minds, they can't joke with the whole clan, right?

Besides, this time Changping brought together nearly half of the families of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the First Emperor did not dare to kill even if he was crazy.

The head of the Lin family thought of those rumors, and his heart became more and more settled.

He took out a sweat towel and wiped his oily face, as if realizing that he had said the wrong thing before, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Lin is going to Pyeongchang to participate in the grand event this time, and he came to visit Cao's house when he passed by, if there is any disturbance, please forgive me." ”

Cao Zhi naturally understood the Lin family master's worries, because he was not the first person to come to inquire about the situation. just knew in his heart that Cao Zhi had no intention of breaking through that fig leaf. He smiled and exchanged a few words with the head of the Lin family, and then ordered someone to send him out.

Seeing off the guests, Cao Zhi walked into the study with a slightly gloomy face.

In the study, Cao Gong sat on the crimson Taishi chair, holding an old bamboo slip in one hand and reading it with relish, and unconsciously playing with a bracelet made of fire spirit wood in the other. The beads of the bracelet are about the size of grapes, and they emit a reddish glow like a spirit jade.

Cao Zhi walked into the room, stood respectfully in front of the desk, and said in a low voice: "Grandfather, grandson has something unknown. ”

"Do you want to ask, why did Grandfather let them use such extreme means to completely break with the First Emperor?" Cao Gong didn't raise his head, and moved the bamboo slip in his hand slightly, as if he was intoxicated with the happiness of books.

"Exactly. Before that, the child also knew his grandfather's great plan, although we had to break with the first emperor. But with nearly half of the family gathered, even if the First Emperor was unwilling, he resolutely did not dare to act rashly. It's just that now ....." Cao Zhi thought of the major families who had been coming to the Cao family to inquire about the news these days, and did not continue.

These stragglers were brave, and they were already three points scared before the war began. If it really starts a war with the First Emperor, I don't know what the hell it will be.

The family alliance seems to be huge, but they are really all of the same heart as the Cao family?

Cao Zhi didn't believe it before, and now he can't believe it even more. He would rather believe that the First Emperor's southern tour was just for fun, and he didn't believe that these families would definitely be with the Cao family at that time.

"It is precisely because we have no chance of winning that the old man wants to give them a glimmer of untouchable hope." Cao Gong's voice was low and gentle, like a messenger from the netherworld, which made people shudder. The smile on his face disappeared for the first time, and his expression was solemn with a hint of mockery.

There is no chance of winning, no hope of impossible!

Cao Zhi was dumbfounded, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He thought about it a lot, but he didn't expect to wait for such an answer that people didn't know what to say. If the grandfather knew that there was no hope, why did he come up with this plan, and?

For a while, his mind was dazed and confused, and he couldn't sort it out for a long time. He only felt that his grandfather was like an unfathomable sea, and it was impossible to comprehend the scene in it.
