"Country man!"
Zheng Miao saluted Cao Mao and lowered his body.
"Countryman..."
Sima Yan stood behind Zheng Miao with a vigilant face and saluted Cao Mao.
Cao Mao opened the door and saw the two of them, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Anshi!"
"You came to see me!!"
Sima Yan trembled all over, but before he could speak, Cao Mao grabbed his hand again.
"These days, I've been thinking about you all day long."
"I wanted to visit you several times, but unfortunately the prince refused to see you. I haven't seen you for several days. Are you okay?"
"I'm okay..."
Zheng Miao looked at the two of them in surprise. When did they become so close?
Zheng Miao came to visit Cao Mao on Wang Su's order.
In fact, I just came here to have a look and see what Cao Gong wants to do and what his thoughts are.
Before leaving, Wang Su called Sima Yan out again and asked him to follow Zheng Miao.
According to Wang Su, he wanted Sima Yan to learn how to do things from Zheng Miao.
But Zheng Miao knew very well what he actually thought.
This made Zheng Miao feel a little chilled.
Compared with Lanling Chenghou, his son obviously did not live up to his reputation. He acted too superficially and could not get the essence of his father.
But Zheng Miao didn't say anything. He accepted the other party's proposal and brought Sima Yan to Cao Mao's house.
Zheng Qian asked: "Why did Mr. Cao open the door himself?"
Cao Mao shook his head and said helplessly: "The servants at home were all afraid of being implicated, so they fled overnight. Even my family's supervisors ran away. Only Guo Jun and I were left in Nuo Da's mansion. personal."
"Please come in."
He led the two of them into the empty mansion.
There are still some fallen leaves on the ground, and all kinds of sundries are placed randomly. In just a few days, the house has become a little more desolate, and even Sima Yan can't bear it.
"I heard that you took in many people and saved their lives. Is this how they repay you?!"
Cao Mao sighed, "It doesn't matter, everyone has their own ambitions, so why force it?"
Cao Mao led them into the inner room, sat down together, and prepared to get them some food himself, but Zheng Miao quickly refused.
"Mr. Cao, don't be like this...I came here this time just to see you. No need to be polite."
"No problem, at least tell Mr. Guo to prepare some tea."
Cao Mao went out for a while and soon came back and sat in front of the two of them.
"I didn't expect that now everyone is avoiding me, but you are still willing to come and visit me. Only today do I know who is the real gentleman."
Cao Mao looked at them quite moved, and his eyes fell on Sima Yan again.
"An Shi, you came suddenly. I really can't entertain you today. I will prepare some food. When you come next time, you will definitely not be like this again..."
Sima Yan was silent for a moment, "I was already flattered by the hospitality given by my grandfather last time. Next time, I will be the one to entertain you."
Zheng Miao cleared her throat and drew Cao Mao's attention to herself.
"Mr. Cao, do you know why those people are leaving?"
"Of course I know. I want to fight for Xia Hou. They are all afraid of being implicated, so they fled."
"Since you know this, why are you still protesting for Xiahou Zheng?"
"You and he are strangers."
Cao Mao immediately said with great righteousness: "When I was young, my defense and assistant orders often used the deeds of Xiahou Gong to persuade me... to let me imitate his behavior."
"Although I have never met him, I have admired him for a long time."
"Xiahou Gong is definitely not a rebellious minister. I heard that when the general wanted to execute him, even General Zhengxi begged for mercy on his behalf, thinking that he was implicated."
"Even if I am young and ignorant, wouldn't General Zhengxi also be ignorant?"
Hearing these words, Sima Yan was confused. He looked at Zheng Miao curiously, "Did my father really plead for Duke Xiahou?"
Zheng Miao was speechless for a moment.
He can't say it's two brothers acting...
"There is such a thing."
Sima Yan suddenly realized, "No wonder it's like this."
Cao Mao continued: "Besides, I don't have any talents. If I deal with ministers arbitrarily because of their mistrust of the king, then how can I dare to be the emperor?"
"If one day, because of me, a wise minister is implicated, what should I do?"
"The person who really wants to rebel is Zhang Ji!! The person who is really unscrupulous is King Qi!"
"Because of the status of King Qi, everyone in the world dare not give him advice, so they can only deal with Duke Xiahou. Is this okay?!"
"King Qi has brought disaster to the country and the people! Although he has a noble status, I dare to speak out!"
Cao Mao spoke faster and faster, and he was so excited that he stood up, pointed at Sima Yan and said: "In the temple today, there are great generals and generals who conquer the west."
"These two men are devoted to the country and work hard in governance. Their virtuous reputation is well known to everyone!"
"If I succeed to the throne, they will assist me. If one day, because of me, a wise minister like the general is harmed, how can I bear it!"
"An Shi! Are you willing to submit a letter with me to fight for justice for Xiahou?!"
Sima Yan's blood boiled when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly. Just as he was about to say yes, he was pulled down by Zheng Miao who was standing beside him.
"Ahem, Mr. Sima, please don't be reckless..."
Sima Yan's face was full of displeasure, "My father also interceded for Xiahou Gong, why can't I?"
"This...it's best to ask the prince first."
When Sima Yan saw the other party move out of his grandfather, he immediately shut up, but his dissatisfaction was almost written on his face.
Zheng Miao looked at the difficult young man in front of him again.
Zheng Miao was very smart when he was young and became famous at a young age. However, at the same age, he thought that he could not achieve the level of the young man in front of him.
Every word is a trap, just waiting for myself and Sima Yan to jump in!
No matter who he presented these answers to, there was no problem at all.
How could the Guo family choose such a young man to be the emperor?
Do they really want to help the Wei family? ?
Are they the true loyal ministers of the Wei Dynasty?
Guo Zi also came in with tea, poured tea for several people, and walked out.
Just as Zheng Ming was about to speak, he heard a sound breaking through the air.
Suddenly, an arrow shot through the paper window and was inserted directly into the bookshelf nearby.
Zheng Miao was frightened by this sudden change. At that moment, Cao Mao rushed forward and pinned Sima Yan under him.
Another arrow came in from the window, and Zheng Miao quickly bent down and lay on the ground.
Then I heard Guo Zi's roar coming from outside the door.
"What a thief!"
The knights guarding the door probably heard the noise and rushed in hurriedly.
There was chaos outside. Zheng Ming had no idea what was going on. He just lay on the ground and did not get up easily.
Sima Yan was suppressed by Cao Mao, his eyes full of fear.
When the noise outside subsided, Cao Mao stood up quickly, pulled out the sword from his waist, and rushed out quickly.
Sima Yan followed closely behind.
When the two people rushed out, they happened to meet Guo Zi and many knights.
"What happened?!"
"An assassin sneaked into the house and wanted to kill you. Fortunately, I discovered it in time. After these knights broke in, they ran towards the apse!"
"Someone is already hunting for you! Are you okay??"
Guo Zu quickly looked at Cao Mao in front of him.
Cao Mao shook his head, "If he didn't get hit, we are fine... Who is this thief? Dare to assassinate me?"
"this...."
Guo Zui fell silent and did not speak.
Sima Yan was frightened and angry at the moment, and shouted at the knights: "Chase me! Chase them all! We can't let the thief escape!"
Zheng Miao packed up her clothes and walked out slowly.
Someone actually wants to kill Your Majesty? ?
He did not think that the general wanted to kill His Majesty.
To put it bluntly, the general does not need this method at all. Assassination? That is to underestimate the general.
But besides the general, who wants to kill His Majesty?
Suddenly, Zheng Miao took a breath of air.
As expected, the matter of vindication in the temple has become a hubbub.
And if the proposer dies violently, can the general still be able to suppress the matter of redress?
I am afraid that the criticism from the DPRK and the Central Government will directly overwhelm them.
Zheng Miao had a terrible guess.
But Cao Mao took his hand and said, "Zheng Jun, if it weren't for you today, I'm afraid I would have died here... Could you please send someone to the county government now to seal off the county seat to prevent the thieves from escaping!"
"good!"
.......
At this moment, several panting masked men were hiding in a private house. When they found that those people could not catch up, they just took off the black scarves on their faces and began to change their clothes.
"It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous..."
"I almost hit Duke Cao. When I drew the bow, my hands were trembling..."
"Why does Duke Cao want us to assassinate him?"
"Stop talking! Destroy these things and hide them as planned!"
"only!!"
ps: The style of this book may be different from other books, because I feel that I am still young and should constantly try various styles and strive to break through myself. I don’t want to copy my own success, so the content of each book The styles are all different.
In the past, people always said that there are no villains in my books. This time, I must create an extremely terrifying villain, and then defeat the villain in the most exciting way! ! For example, waiting for him to die of illness...
