Jiaohua

Shen Lie took Miao Zhonghai to the door of the elegant room, when he heard the girl's words, Miao Zhonghai stopped when he raised his hand knocking on the door, and turned to look at Shen Lie.

Shen Lie's eyebrows were slightly closed, he paused, and motioned him to back down with his eyes.

Knocking on the door right now would surely interrupt their conversation.

After standing for a while, Shen Lie turned and went to the gate.

Miao Zhonghai followed and whispered, "General?"

Shen Lie stopped on the steps outside the gate, the moonlight pushed away the dark clouds, penetrated the dampness of the city, and condensed a layer of pale frost on his body.

Shen Lie said calmly: "It's nothing, just wait here, eavesdropping is not good."

"Ok!"

In the private room, a gust of wind blows gently through the window, cool and sticky.

Cao Yijun still had an elegant and peaceful smile on his face: "Miss Ali, are you afraid that my words may be deceitful?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "It's very contradictory. On the one hand, I believe in General Cao's character, but on the other hand, General Cao and I have different positions. We are enemies and not friends."

"But I just said that it's not about business, it's a private matter."

"General Cao, you are the commander-in-chief of an army. You have the essentials of your soldiers and horses, and I have my soldiers and horses to protect. If it were you, would you trust the words of the enemy army?"

"Hahahaha!" Cao Yijun laughed, "At the beginning I wanted to recruit a girl into my army, but I was overestimated. The girl is an eagle soaring into the sky, and her eyes are all over the world. What should I give her?"

"General Cao hasn't said yet, why do you know so clearly what Cao Zi did."

"If it's Cao, I don't want to answer."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded, stood up and put the silver on the table: "I don't want to answer, that's General Cao's freedom,"

Cao Yijun glanced at the silver pair on the table, looked up at the back of the girl who had turned away, and said suddenly: "Miss Ali, since you said that you and I are enemies, why don't you attack me now?"

Xia Zhaoyi turned his back to him and said: "General Cao mentioned the word public and private just now. My Xia family and the Cao family of Dingtao County have always had a close personal relationship, but this is just this one time. From now on, I hope you and I will never meet again."

Cao Yijun narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said, "It's Ding Feng."

Xia Zhaoyi was about to leave when he heard the words and looked back at him: "Cao Yao's wife?"

"Yes, everything about Cao Zixing and Bei Yuan was written to me by her."

"Why does she...?"

"Which wife wants to see her husband be fascinated by another woman, running thousands of miles? Even if it is a dead person."

"She wrote to you to dissuade her?"

Cao Yijun smiled: "As you said, the positions are different. She wants to use my position to do a few things to stop Cao Zixing."

"Then did you stop it?"

"For his own good, he intervened in a few cases."

Xia Zhaoyi thought of a few things from the past, nodded, raised his hands and cupped his fists: "Thank you for telling me about Zhitu."

"You don't need to say thank you," Cao Yijun smiled self-deprecatingly, "Beiyuan dogs invaded my Central Plains, and everyone hated it."

Xia Zhaoyi took a deep look at him, turned and left without saying a word.

The door of the private room creaked open, Shen Lie and Miao Zhonghai turned around, Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyes to see them, bent his lips and smiled, and turned to close the door.

"How long have you been waiting?" Xia Zhaoyi went over and asked.

"I have not been here for a long time. Tonight is not going well. Two of them died and three were injured. It is not known whether there is a doctor among the two dead."

"Are the three injured alive in our hands?"

"Ah."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "That's not going well, do you want to capture all five alive?"

Shen Lie also smiled: "Well, because I heard people say that Mu Tingyu is very good at judging people."

Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows: "Are you criticizing me in disguise?"

"...No, it's just a compliment that you know people well, and you know people only if you know them."

Xia Zhaoyi was amused, turned his head to look at the door of the elegant room, and said softly: "Let's go, let me tell you what Cao Yijun told me."

"Ah."

The inn they stayed in was diagonally opposite, and they walked less than twenty steps, but the two walked slowly along the long street side by side, leaving the inn gate behind.

Shen Lie had heard the name Ding Feng a long time ago.

The Zuilu Guo family and the Dingtao Cao family are both famous families through the ages, with a long inheritance. For thousands of years, the two families sometimes get very close and marry each other, sometimes they are far away, and even the situation is like fire and water.

In the current generation, the two families are neither hot nor cold, and important events such as weddings, funerals, etc. don't need many people to come over to support them, just send one out.

Cao Yao married Ding Feng, and the one who went out on behalf of the Guo family was Guo Liulang Guo Yu, who was the most difficult to get along with Shen Lie among the Guo family's peers.

The reason why Shen Lie was deeply impressed by this matter was because Yunliang Shen's family also sent someone there, and the person they sent was only a chief executive who gave gifts.

In Shen Lie's opinion, this was not a big deal, but after Guo Yu came back, he brought it up for a long time, saying that Yunliang's family is rich, it's useless, there are only two males left in this area, one is living under the Guo family's care, and the other is sick and short-lived at any time, which is not as good as their drunken deer.

Even if Shen Lie passed by the veranda, Guo Yu would not keep quiet when he saw him, but shouted louder.Once when he scolded his boss, he sneered loudly in the room, why did the Guo family have a foreign surname, and he was not a lost dog who came to wag his tail and beg someone to take him in.

In the past two full months, the matter of Cao Yao's marriage was replaced by other matters.

Xia Zhaoyi said: "When I mentioned Ding Feng, I remembered a past event. Five years ago in the capital, Song Qingtang offended Cao Youyun. Cao Youyun poured medicine into Song Qingtang's wine, and then... stripped him and threw him on the street."

"Naked?"

"It happened on the day of worshiping heaven at Chongtiantai. The people in the city either went out of the city or went to the main road. I found it in the open space behind the inn."

Shen Lie paused in his footsteps, and looked at the girl beside him with a bit of astonishment in his pitch-black eyes: "Well...you...see him naked?"

"No, you know, even if I wanted to see it, he wouldn't. He would definitely cover it up desperately. Oh, by the way, even though he wasn't wearing an inch of clothing, there was a very short piece of clothing covering his stomach."

Shen Lie said very lightly: "Even if you want to see it."

Xia Zhaoyi didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Shen Lie shook his head: "No."

"Actually, it's okay," Xia Zhaoyi whispered, "In the barracks, it's not always a group of men who go down to the river to take a bath together. Many people have seen him."

Shen Lie rested his forehead on the back of his hand, and after walking for a while, he looked at the girl and said uncomfortably: "I was in the barracks, so I didn't go down to cross the river with them."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "I also don't think you are the type to go down the river and play with people."

"So," Shen Lie's voice became lower and lower, "no one has seen me."

"..."

Xia Zhaoyi's sideways eyes met his deep and cramped black eyes.

A light glow floated on the deep and snow-white skin, and this light glow gradually climbed to the ears, turning red. (end of this chapter)
