In the Terracotta Division of Yanzhou City.

Yang Zongbao looked at the dusty Eighth Sister Yang with a worried face and asked:

"Little aunt, why did you run to the border without permission? If the court knew, I am afraid it would be suspicious. ”

Sister Yang took a sip of tea, waved her hand and said:

"You don't have to worry, I have already reported to the imperial court, and I am here to answer Cao Bin."

Saying that, she was quite depressed and said:

"I persuaded Cao Bin to send an envoy at the court meeting, and when I went home, I was scolded by your grandmother."

"She said that the envoy is not as good as the battlefield, if Cao Bin dies in Western Xia, let the Cao family die, I am also responsible."

Talking about the reason, she complained to Yang Zongbao:

"I'm also out of kindness, Cao Bin is so powerful, wouldn't it be a waste of his ability if he didn't take the opportunity to make meritorious contributions?"

"Such a rare opportunity? If there is anything wrong with me persuading him to go on an envoy, his mother will make a big fuss! ”

Hearing this, Yang Zongbao couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't know why his sister-in-law was so confident in Cao Bin, whether it was because of the extermination of the Liangshan bandits.

Is this too sloppy? In the final analysis, Liangshan is just a group of grass robbers.

The Cao family's current situation is worse than that of the Yang family, and there are at least many female elders in the family to support them, but the Cao family has only one seedling of Cao Bin.

If Cao Bin died, then the Zhongjing Houfu would be completely finished.

The Yang Cao family did not have a holiday, if the Yang family added fuel to the fire, it was inevitable that there would be some regrets in their hearts, and if it was not good, Taishi Pang would still hold a grudge against the Yang family.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly came from outside the door to report:

"General, there is a secret report from the Hengshan camp in Western Xia."

When Yang Zongbao heard this, he suddenly shook his spirit and said, "Quickly bring it over." ”

"How? Is Cao Bin okay? ”

Seeing this, Eighth Sister Yang hurriedly asked.

Yang Zongbao shook his head while looking at Mi Bao and said: "Yuan Hao is really barbaric, as soon as my Great Song Mission arrived at the Hengshan camp, he ordered him to behead the sacrificial flag. ”

"Huh?"

Eighth Sister Yang originally wanted to stretch her neck to watch together, but when she heard this, she was suddenly frightened, and said with a pale face:

"Cao Bin is really dead?"

As she spoke, her eyes turned a little red.

thought of Cao Bin being impassioned, withstanding the pressure for the Yang family, slapping Li Zhichao to be angry for himself, and thinking of him playing Zhuge with high spirits.

I felt ashamed and sad in my heart, and I only felt that I had done a big stupid thing.

Yang Zongbao has both respect for the elders and pity for the younger generations for this young sister-in-law, and when he saw her like this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly said:

"Li Tang was divided by Yuan Hao's five horses, Cao Bin was not killed, he escaped."

As he spoke, he hurriedly handed the secret letter between the two of them, so that Eighth Sister Yang could also see it.

After Sister Yang read the text on the secret letter clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Cao Bin scolding Zhang Yuan, causing him to vomit blood, and burst into laughter.

Quite proudly said: "Cao Bin is really amazing!" Dare to scold Zhang Yuan to his face......"

After the two read the secret letter, Yang Zongbao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Little aunt, are you ...... You okay? ”

Eighth Sister Yang was surprised: "It's okay, I'm fine." ”

Yang Zongbao didn't want to ask much, but said: "That's fine, I still have to send the secret letter to the imperial court, what are you going to do?" ”

Eighth Sister Yang stood up and said, "I'll take a team of men and horses to ambush near Hengshan, so that I can meet them at any time." ”

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and asked:

"Zong Bao, do you think Cao Bin and they can convince Western Xia?"

......

"Today, I found that Western Xia is still sending grain and grass to the Hengshan camp, soldiers."

"Yuan Hao is very ambitious, I don't think he will easily give up attacking the Great Song Dynasty."

After the banquet ended yesterday, Cao Bin and the others were arranged not far from Yuan Hao's palace, surrounded by the Xixia barracks in the center.

At this time, Zhang Dian was telling Cao Bin about his speculation.

Cao Bin twisted his eyebrows and scolded:

"Damn, I still underestimate Yuan Hao's ambitions, it seems that his purpose is not to go all the way in one state, maybe he wants to break through the Great Song Dynasty and replace it......"

As he spoke, he shook his head rather distressedly and said:

"We still have to retreat as soon as possible, otherwise we may be killed by Yuan Hao at any time, what is Zihou's idea?"

After returning to the camp last night, Cao Binquan told Zhang Dun all the details of his meeting with Yuan Hao, so that he could be a little mentally prepared.

At that time, Zhang Dian was also scared into a cold sweat.

If Cao Bin didn't escape and died with Li Tang, then none of them in the entire mission would want to live.

After all, even the chief and deputy envoys of the Great Song Dynasty were killed, and it was impossible for Western Xia to keep these small characters.

Zhang Dian shook his head and said:

"Since Uncle used the elixir to bluff Yuan Hao, I'm afraid he won't let me go easily."

"I may send someone to get more information from my uncle."

"It's about the elixir, he won't easily trust his uncle, and he won't give up pursuing the source of the elixir."

Cao Bin nodded thoughtfully, Yuan Hao agreed to learn musical instruments from him, I am afraid that this is the idea.

Just when the two were discussing how to run, Hu Sanniang suddenly came in to report that the princess of Western Xia had arrived.

Cao Bin's heart moved, and he hurriedly whispered: "Zihou, go find Zhang Yanshou and invite the prince of Western Xia to come over." ”

Zhang Dian glanced at Cao Bin in surprise and said, "Does Uncle want to ......?"

At this time, several palace people had already run in, and they entered the room to search for them, and after a long time, they stood still in the surrounding corners.

Then, without moving his dreams, he stepped in and said:

"Excuse me, Mr. Cao, I'm here to ask you about the instrument."

Cao Bin nodded and smiled: "Niangniang is polite, Cao has nothing to do, and now he is just in time." ”

As he spoke, he didn't talk nonsense, took the instrument, and pointed out one move at a time.

At the beginning, I didn't move my dreams, I only felt that Cao Bin's pipa skills were exquisite, but when I really learned it, I realized that it was the tip of the iceberg.

Cao Bin is not only very proficient in the common musical instruments of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the unique musical instruments of the Western Xia.

This made Wu Yimeng amazed, and he even forgot the task assigned by Yuan Hao.

From time to time, Cao Bin praised vigorously without shame, making the dream happy.

For her, Cao Bin is a real master of music music, and being praised by people like him even makes her feel that she has met a bosom friend.

I just feel that no matter what I play, Cao Bin can always accurately tell her state of mind.

I don't know how long it took, Hu Sanniang reported again:

"Uncle, Master Zhang is looking for you for something."

I didn't move my dream, so I woke up from a dream, and hurriedly got up and said, "Mr. Cao, will this palace come back tomorrow?" ”

Cao Bin hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry, Cao will come when he goes." ”

Saying that, he didn't give him a chance to excuse himself, pushed the door and walked out.

I didn't move my dream, I was quite nostalgic for the pleasure just now, so I didn't leave in a hurry.
