Zhao Da quickly surrounded Cao Pi with the school affairs and stopped him from moving forward.

Cao Pi obviously didn't expect Cao Zhang to appear with the school affairs, and his face changed slightly and then calmed down.

Cao Zhang walked up to Cao Pi, maintained a basic etiquette, and saluted him: "Meet my brother." ”

After Cao Pi returned the salute, he pretended to smile lightly and asked, "Ziwen, you didn't go to make preparations for the expedition, but you brought people from the school office here and surrounded me, what does this mean?" ”

"I have already made arrangements for the expedition, and I don't need my brother to worry about it. Before I leave, I have to arrange for people to guard the paper-making workshop and the bookstore that publishes the "Thousand Character Text" to prevent anyone from stealing the paper-making and printing technology! Cao Zhang responded coldly to Cao Zhang's question.

He knew that it was very difficult for the people of the Sima family to protect the secrets of papermaking and printing.

So before dawn, he came to Sikong Mansion and asked Cao Cao for his life, hoping that Cao Cao could arrange for people from the school office to guard the safety of the paper workshop and the printing bookstore.

Cao Cao knew that this was a major matter to ensure interests, so he naturally would not refuse, and immediately ordered Zhao Da to obey Cao Zhang's dispatch.

Cao Zhang asked Zhao Da to bring a team of school affairs and follow him straight to the paper mill of the Sima family, thinking that he would arrange for them to guard, but he didn't expect that he directly bumped into Cao Pi to make trouble here.

Cao Zhang was naturally not polite, and directly ordered Zhao Da to surround Cao Pi.

"Ziwen, this stealing word is too ugly, isn't it? How can I say that it is also your brother, the eldest son of the Cao family, don't say that I can't understand how to make paper, even if I can understand it, I can still leak the secret? Cao Pi made an unhappy look and blamed Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang took out Cao Cao's token from his arms: "This is my father's order, except for me and the craftsmen of the Sima family who are in charge of this matter, no one else is allowed to enter the paper workshop and printing bookstore without permission!" ”

"Brother, if you have any doubts about your father's instructions, why don't we go to my father now and theorize with my father?"

Of course, Cao Pi would not be stupid enough to go to Cao Cao with Cao Zhang to find a scolding, so he could only laugh awkwardly: "Father has a lot of opportunities, why bother him with this kind of thing." You said you wouldn't let me see it, but I won't watch it! ”

He deliberately turned to Guo Zhao and said, "Miss Guo, you can take me to the bookstore, I want to pick up some Cao Gong paper and "Thousand Character Text" to go back." ”

Although he couldn't get a glimpse of the secrets of papermaking, Cao Pi was not willing to miss this opportunity to get close to Guo Zhao.

"What kind of paper does Childe want to choose, including what style of "Thousand Character Text", go to the bookstore, and naturally someone will entertain and introduce it. I'm a craftsman in a paper mill, and there's a lot of business for me to take care of, so I can't just walk away! Guo Zhao directly rejected Cao Pi.

"Brother, why don't I accompany you to choose?" Cao Zhang took a few steps forward, blocked in front of Guo Zhao, and looked at Cao Pi coldly.

Cao Pi felt the chill in Cao Zhang's eyes, and naturally didn't want to contact him anymore, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, you have so many affairs, I won't delay you." Since Miss Guo can't accompany her, I'll just go to the bookstore by myself. ”

Cao Zhang pointed in the direction of the gate of the paper mill: "Brother, please come here!" ”

Cao Pi glanced at Cao Zhang and Guo Zhao angrily, and strode towards the direction of the gate, Zhao Da waved his hand to signal the school affairs to get out of the way and let Cao Pi pass.

"Commander Zhao, arrange for the school to guard the paper workshop and the printing bookstore, and if there are idle people in the future, they will be killed!" Cao Zhang gave instructions to Zhao Da loudly.

"Whoa!" Zhao Da responded loudly.

Cao Pi understood that Cao Zhang deliberately said it to himself, originally he wanted to contact Guo Zhao here, and by the way, he spied on the technology of papermaking and printing, but he didn't expect Guo Zhao to be cold to him, and he was ridiculed by Cao Zhang in public, losing face.

"Guo Zhao! Don't think that with Cao Zhang's support for you, I can't do anything about you, anyway, he will leave in a few days, and I will clean you up then! Cao Pi was resentful in his heart, but he couldn't say anything more on the surface, so he lowered his head and hurried away.

"Ziwen Gongzi, thanks to you arriving in time, otherwise I really don't know what to do!" Guo Zhao thanked Cao Zhang in a panic.

Cao Zhang hurriedly waved his hand: "Miss Guo, I thank you so much for keeping the secret of papermaking for me!" ”

"The folk girl is the craftsman of the paper workshop, and it is my duty to protect the paper workshop, so I don't have to thank the son!" Guo Zhao responded.

"Oh, I was thanking my friend just now, but you talked to me about my duties, what do you mean, I'm not qualified to be your friend?" Cao Zhang deliberately said to Guo Zhao.

"No, that's not what the folk girl meant, I just feel that my status is low, and I'm not qualified to be friends with my son!" Guo Zhao explained in a panic.

"In my heart, I have long regarded you as my most important friend!" Cao Zhang said to Guo Zhao very seriously.

At first, he didn't know the truth, but later Sima Lang reported to him, and he learned that Guo Zhao had stayed up all night and put a lot of effort into making Cao Gong paper.

What is the reason why she did this, the fool also understands, how can Cao Zhang be indifferent?

Cao Zhang's words, as well as his sincere eyes, made Guo Zhao feel something instantly, and she looked at Cao Zhang in surprise: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true, otherwise I wouldn't have come to say goodbye to you in person today!" Cao Zhang said to Guo Zhao sincerely.

Guo Zhao knew that Cao Zhang was about to go on an expedition, and she originally thought that it would be difficult to meet him in a short time, but she didn't expect him to say that he had made a special trip to resign, which made Guo Zhao's heart indescribably warm and moved.

"I know that Childe is about to go on the expedition, but it's a pity that I am a woman, and my martial arts are low, so I can't accompany Childe to go into battle to kill the enemy, I can only wish Childe a victorious return as soon as possible!" Guo Zhao responded to Cao Zhang very sincerely.

She reached out and took out a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Cao Zhang: "Childe, this is a relic left to me by my mother, and I have always worn it by my side, because I think it can protect my safety." Now I give it to you, you take it with you, and it will surely bless you with you! ”

Cao Zhang looked at Guo Zhao, saw her affection from her eyes, and immediately reached out to take it and hung it directly around his neck: "Okay, I will always wear it by my side, as if you have been with me, and I can always think of you!" ”

Such an explicit confession made Guo Zhao's face instantly flush with shame, and he lowered his head in a panic, not daring to look at Cao Zhang again, and responded in a low voice: "I know, thank you son." ”

"You still call me Childe? Azhao? Cao Zhang said softly.

Guo Zhao looked at Cao Zhang with some embarrassment, and finally mustered up the courage and responded in a low voice: "Got it, Brother Ziwen!" ”

Cao Zhang's face showed a happy smile, and he said to Guo Zhao: "Okay, take me to see the paper mill and bookstore after we expand the scale." ”

Guo Zhao nodded sweetly, at this time she knew Cao Zhang's intentions for her, and she was completely down-to-earth......
