Chapter 59: Who is the Fool?
The carriage creaked, pulling Cao Fu back to the front of the Horse Mansion.
It was just that it was getting late, so by the time I arrived, it was already midnight.
Stepping down from the carriage, Cao Fu's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the gate that was still a little dilapidated, and scolded: "I didn't expect to come to this place." Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to step forward and pull the iron ring in the mouth of the bronze lion and knock it a few times.
"Bang ......"
The crisp sound immediately livens up the otherwise peaceful courtyard.
With the sound of anxious footsteps, the gate was pushed open, and a person saw Cao Fu standing outside, his eyes were full of joy, and he said, "It turned out to be General Cao?
"What's going on?"
After two hours of bumps in the car, Cao Fu had already woken up from drunkenness.
The housekeeper replied: "It's not because General Cao hasn't returned for a long time, so Prince Zhao has always been worried, and even plans to go to the Government Affairs Yuan, wanting to ask Xiao Jingmao to help find it." β
"Hmph, I'm a big living person, where can I go?" Cao Fu looked disdainful and stepped into the courtyard.
In the distance, the house was brightly lit, illuminating a figure.
Cao Fu stepped forward and pushed the door open, and saw Zhao Mengfu sitting on the chair with an angry face.
Although the other party was furious, he didn't care, and directly ordered his subordinates to prepare sobering tea, so he found a seat and sat down with a big thorn.
"Are you finally back?" Zhao Mengfu couldn't help it after all, and reprimanded directly.
Cao Fu replied: "Of course. Didn't you see me?" The resentment of being insulted before has not dissipated, and he is still angry with Zhao Mengfu until now.
"You, you're also the boss, how can you make up this late-night scene of not returning? Do you think I'm not troublesome enough?" Zhao Mengfu took a deep breath, full of anger erupted.
He came here with great sincerity, thinking that he would be able to quickly conclude a marriage with the king of the Jin Dynasty, and since then the two countries can get along amicably, but the other party directly ran away under the pretext of the Northern Expedition, and he was directly "thrown" into this horse mansion, and nothing could be done.
Although Zhao Mengfu didn't care, he also faintly felt the rejection of those people.
Cao Fu laughed and replied, "Trouble? What do you think you can do now? Do you cultivate here? I'm sorry, but I don't have your leisure and elegance. β
These days, Zhao Mengfu saw that the matter of his in-laws had not started for a long time, so he had no choice but to live in the Horse Mansion every day to practice calligraphy and painting, until now it has been half a year.
"Isn't this that King Jin hasn't come back yet?" Zhao Mengfu said with a slight movement in his mouth.
Cao Fu sneered, "Of course, if she never comes back, are you going to live here for the rest of your life?"
"My business is my business, can you tell me why you didn't return all night?" Zhao Mengfu frowned slightly and asked directly.
Cao Fu's chin was slightly raised, revealing a little smugness: "Of course it's for business." Why else do you think I didn't come back until now?"
"What business?" Zhao Mengfu felt a little strange.
Cao Fu replied: "It's about the business of war horses. β
"War horses?"
"That's right. I don't know how this Red Phoenix Army did it, and actually cultivated a new type of war horse, which is a head taller than the Mongolian horse. And the pack horse that pulled the carriage was also made by them, otherwise how could they pull such a heavy carriage. If we can get the breeds of horses they bred, then our Great Song Dynasty will naturally have the strength to resist the Mongols. Cao Fu replied with a smug face.
Zhao Mengfu was also shocked: "What you said is true?"
"Of course. After all, I personally took the horse farm where war horses were bred, and as for the smell of alcohol, it was just entertainment. Cao Fu sneered: "As for you, what did you do besides writing some calligraphy and paintings?"
Zhao Mengfu was silent for a while, and these days, he has always stayed in this Horse Mansion.
Naturally, nothing was done.
Cao Fu showed Zhao Mengfu's familiar contemptuous smile again, and said directly: "Even if you are a wreck, a woman will not be willing to marry you." Even if there is a holy decree from the official family, do you really think that the king of Jin is willing to marry you with such an obvious attitude?"
"This ......"
Zhao Mengfu was stunned for a moment, and the whole person fell silent, and then opened his mouth as if he was justifying.
"She, I don't think so. β
"No? You're naΓ―ve. Cao Fu snorted coldly and complained: "You must know that you and her have never known each other, let alone know each other's details, does she care if you are dead or alive?"
This sentence was like a spear, piercing directly into Zhao Mengfu's heart, making his whole person completely frozen, and his face was extremely white.
It's just that Zhao Mengfu still has hope in his heart, and said: "But I heard that she has captured Shaanxi, and in half a year, she will be able to occupy the entire Yanyan Road." When the time comes, she should be back. β
"It's just Yan Yan Road, if she plans to attack the North Hebei Road? Won't it take another two or three years? What about the next attack on the Central Plains? Then it is estimated that she will have to wait for five years. When the time comes, when she attacks Mobei, it is estimated that it will be ten years later. When the time comes, will you continue to wait?" Cao Fu replied angrily.
This is also the reason why Cao Fu is angry.
Directly hang Zhao Mengfu here and ignore them, then the king of Jin clearly looks down on them.
This kind of treatment is something that a fool like Zhao Mengfu can't see.
"Of course!"
Zhao Mengfu blurted out, but as soon as the words came out, he regretted it.
Is it possible to completely trap your whole life here for the sake of a woman?
Zhao Mengfu only felt at a loss, and muttered: "She, shouldn't she be that kind of person?"
In his eyes, Xiao Fengnai is a strong, great, and gentle woman who can treat everyone with a benevolent heart, just like the legendary Guanyin Bodhisattva, who has a heart that purifies all sentient beings.
How could this fairy-like character do such a thing?
"What kind of person is not? Don't forget, she is a strong person who brought the Red Phoenix Army out and created such a foundation. Counting the characters of the past dynasties, such as Liu Bang and Cao Cao, can do this kind of thing. That's it, do you still think the other party is just a simple woman?" Cao Fu did not hide his disdain in his heart, and directly pierced the other party's illusion.
In the past few days, he has also had enough of the Red Phoenix Army's ignorance, otherwise why would he drink all day long?
Zhao Mengfu was a little restless, but he stood up and said directly: "Since this is the case, then I will go to ask Xiao Jingmao tomorrow." Let's see what he's going to do?"
"Whatever you want. But if you're disappointed, don't look for me. Cao Fu snorted coldly and shouted again.
