In the center of the woods was a large open space, flanked by four stone benches and a stone table, which according to the rules were usually made by guests, and were not allowed to come here.

At this time, Zhu He was sitting on the stone bench, leaning on the table, one hand on his lap, and the other hand flat on the stone table, his eyes were dull, his face was slightly pale, as if he was sad.

After coming out of the lobby, Zhu He began to think about life like this.

He himself is twenty-four years old with Cao Ange, but he is two months older than Cao Ange, so in the past, when the two met Cao Ange, they would call him brother.

It's just that after the incident six years ago, the two brothers turned against each other and targeted them everywhere.

It's just that Zhu He is stingy, likes to calculate, and can't suffer losses.

Therefore, since he and Cao Ange got on the bar, the two have fought when they meet, although they are basically verbal fights, but because Zhu He is a "cultural person", Cao Ange often can't talk about him most of the time.

Therefore, Zhu He often talks about cowardice and stupidity, that is, Cao Ange.

It's just that after Cao Ange's performance in the lobby today, it is not only the perception of those officials that has changed, but even Zhu He, who has been targeting Cao Ange for many years, also changed his opinion of Cao Ange at that moment, and even because he knows Cao Ange's situation better, the guilt and shame in his heart when he heard Cao Ange say that sentence in person is even worse.

For several years, Zhu He has been resentful of Cao Ange, a reckless man, why he would block the family's progress.

Once the Cao family moved to Wenchen, what a good future it was!

It is a new world, and the Cao family will become a real nobleman in power, because in this era, there are no first-class military generals, only first-class civil officials, so even if Cao Gong has stood at the highest rank of military generals in the Yong'an Dynasty, he still reaches the authority of first-class civil officials.

If the transfer is successful, maybe Grandpa Cao will also be reappointed to his official position, so how can he retire now?

After Cao Ange's "nonsense" The Cao family failed to move, the Cao family suffered setbacks everywhere, and every time they met in officialdom, they were indispensable to the white eyes of their colleagues.

And the same is true of himself, as a side of the Cao family, he is often ridiculed by his colleagues.

So whenever his officialdom was not going well, Zhu He came to Cao's house to walk around, just to see Cao Ange scolding and venting, if it weren't for this guy who ate inside and out, how could he be like this.

But not long ago, I always thought that all this was Cao Ange's Zhu He, because of Cao Ange's painful and helpless expression in Cao Ange's words just now, he began to waver.

He knew that Cao Ange was a reckless man in life, and he often said that he was righteous, but in the eyes of Zhu He, he was just a fool who would not pretend to be flexible, but since he said it, he would definitely do it, as he said, the big man dared to do it, so Zhu He couldn't think that Cao Ange was lying just now.

In fact, another thought faintly rose in his heart, it's been six years, Cao Ange should have changed! Six years is enough time for one person to become another, and perhaps he is aware of this deliberate performance.

But when this thought just arose, it was snuffed out by Zhu He, and Cao Ange once said to him inexplicably and seriously, a person's character will not change easily, unless I die, I am still the same me I used to be.

Thinking of this, Zhu He sighed, and his eyes were helpless and depressed.

He still couldn't figure out what Cao Ange was trying to do to stop the Cao family's move, if someone wanted to deal with our Cao family, what could he do?

If this is true, who is targeting our Cao family?

Thinking of the scene when Cao Ange closed his eyes and shook his head and refused to answer, Zhu He was depressed for a while.

Recalling what Grandpa Cao said at the banquet, Zhu He slowly savored some of the words that Grandpa Cao said at the time, but now that he looks back, he feels a little strange, could it be that Grandpa Cao already knew the truth?

If Grandpa Cao had known what was going on, was this why Qing'er still stayed with Cao Ange?

If the truth is that Cao Ange has a hard time, then what am I targeting Cao Ange everywhere for so many years.

Do you spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?

Zhu He smiled bitterly.

remembered the sentence that Cao Ange wanted to express, "After all, I committed such a big mistake and deserved to be punished"

But no one let you do that!

Wouldn't it be good for you to say it sooner?

The two of us used to be brothers!

Zhu He's heart beat violently, in this country that emphasizes literature over military force, and promotes the prohibition of force everywhere, you have power is a threat, and the pride of being a literati is a little shaken at this moment.

Once upon a time, the two went from mutual appreciation to-for-tat, is all this their own heart?

I just can't get angry.

In the end, Zhu He clenched his fists, stood up and left.

Cao Ange glanced at it and saw that the man had left, so he was bored and simply closed his eyes and fell asleep!

Who knows how long the system has awakened, otherwise I would have gone to eat.

I learned from Qing'er that the original owner Cao Ange had passed out in the back mountain since yesterday morning, and was only found in the afternoon and brought home, and after a little calculation, I didn't drink a sip of water from yesterday morning to this afternoon, and now I can be said to be thirsty and hungry, and the desire to leave here in my heart is expanding.

If it weren't for the fact that the system is so important, I need to find a suitable environment to study it, otherwise I would have left a long time ago.

What? Why can't I resist waiting until the evening to look into it, you ask?

You say this like a gambler who wins millions and then puts that money in someone else's hands and waits for a few days before spending it.

It's like seeing a vixen who has seduced your desires, but the moment you're about to rush up, a group of people pinning you to the ground is as painful as it gets.

How many people can really hold back the desire in front of them? If a gold mine suddenly appears in everyone's eyes, the one who rushes to the front of anyone is the one who keeps saying plain and plain and looks the most disgusted with money.

It is always the case in the world that until there is enough profit to impress a person, he will always be the most perfect one in the hearts of all.

At this moment, the familiar mechanical sound in his head sounded in his mind again, and at the same time, a small line of text appeared in front of Hong Shi's eyes, Hong Shi subconsciously shifted his gaze, and the line of words appeared in the corner of his sight with the rotation of Hong Shi's sight.

[The system is successfully bound, binding identity: Yongan Dynasty Cao Jia Cao Ange, traverser's name: Hong Shi]

Hearing this voice, Hong Shi's heart was excited for a long time, and at this moment, the stone in his heart finally fell.

It's OK, the system is real.

It's just that what makes Hong Shi feel strange is that there is a small parenthesis behind the line of text in his sight, and the parentheses read: In the future, this interface will appear in the host's sight for life, so as to constantly remind the host.

Remind?

Reminder what?

Hong Shi was a little confused, but what about him, the system is out, do you still need to care about this little thing?

Just as Hong Shi was studying how to summon the system, a mechanical voice sounded again, and at the same time, a line of darker words appeared below the line of words before his sight:

[Ding, the system task is released, and the master is limited to expel the northern Xinjiang barbarians to thirty miles outside the border within three days; Success Reward: None; Failure Penalty: Direct Erasure]

This line of words is a little different from the previous line of words, whether it is the thickness of the font or the font is different from the above line of words, Hong Shi disappeared from sight after seeing this line of words, but the words in the first line are still in sight, did not disappear, and the color is relatively light.

If you don't pay attention, you won't notice.

Glancing at that line again, Hong Shi felt more and more strange, but what made Hong Shi more concerned was that it ended like this after the system task was released?

Saying......

My reward?

Where's the newcomer reward? Where are the sign-in rewards?

You have something to say, system!

Hong Shi's almost roared out, but the system seemed to be offline after the system task was released.

I'm afraid I didn't wear a fake Yue!

There is no reward at all, even if you give some exercises!

I'm a mortal in this world, any person can jump out and slash me with a knife, I'm afraid you don't want to trick me!

Where's my protagonist's aura?

System, don't you joke about it.

"System..."

"System, you're coming out soon."

"The system begs you not to be joking!"

"System, come out soon, ahhh!!h

"System...... I'll your ancestors."

Hong Shi's mentality exploded.

However, even if the ancestral grave of the system was planed by the floodstone, the system still did not react at all.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the system did not respond to a word, and it was confirmed that the system went offline!

So I waited so long for a system task.

Forget about the system task, your success reward: none; Failure Punishment: What the hell is a direct obliteration!

If I can't complete the task, will it kill me?

It's just that there is no reward at all after completion, this is fake!

If so, what do I want this bullshit system for?

Playing with life?

Damn!

Hong Shi wanted to cry without tears, and he was about to cry when he knelt there.

If it weren't for the line of words still appearing there in the corner of his sight, Hong Shi really thought he was dreaming!
