The arrogance of the city

Chapter 1707

"Prince, I'm sorry, I'm a little impulsive."

After leaving the scene of the incident, Zishu whispered.

Cao Xiuge shook his head with a smile, then looked at the middle-aged man who rescued them.

"Thank you."

Chenlong, the former Cao family, said calmly: "By bullying others, bullying the weak, and receiving a lesson, you deserve it."

Cao Xiuge didn't mention this topic any more, and turned his head to look at a tavern by the side of the road.

"I haven't seen you for two or three years. Let's go up and have a drink. I'll treat you."

He Wuxu did not refuse.

The three of them walked into the tavern and reached the second floor. As soon as they stepped on the steps, a man smiled and waved.

"Why did it take you so long to arrive?"

Li Futu and Song Luoshen.

"Just had a little incident."

The so-called seeing through the world should be described as Cao Xiuge's mentality. Even though he was insulted by someone pointing his nose just now, he was still calm, holding Zishu's hand, and walked towards the window with a smile.

Song Luoshen stood up, and his eyes stayed on Cao Xiuge's and Zishu's tightly clenched hands for an extra moment, then raised his head, smiled slightly,
"congratulations."

Cao Xiuge looked at the instigator who caused him to fall into such a situation, and nodded with a smile.

"Thank you."

"Sit first."

Li Futu greeted.

Several people were seated separately.

There are quite a few guests in the tavern, pushing cups and changing cups, talking and laughing happily.

Like Song Luoshen, Zishu drank the famous bamboo leaf tea in Qinghefang, while Li Futu and the men drank rice wine.

The guests around may never know what kind of extraordinary person they have had the honor to meet tonight without knowing it.

Maybe Li Futu and the others never imagined that they would have a day of drinking and talking.

"I didn't expect that there is such a geomantic treasure in the capital city. If you are not careful, you may mistakenly think that you are in the south of the Yangtze River."

Looking at the small bridge and flowing water outside the window, Li Futu toasted and sighed.

"Knowing that you have seen many rivers and rivers, I finally thought of such a place. Otherwise, I would not dare to invite you to come to an ordinary place."

Cao Xiuge smiled, raised his wine glass and drank slowly.

"Oh?"

Li Futu smiled in surprise, hovered over the wine glass, looked at Zishu,
"I'm afraid my sister-in-law won't like what you said."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Xiuge couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

sister in law?

According to age, he is indeed older than the other party, but what is the other party's identity?
Rao Zishu obviously didn't expect the other party to call him that, and when he sat there, he became a little reserved for a while.

"She can understand."

After a while, Cao Xiuge smiled naturally, and shook Zishu's hand with his left hand under the table.

"Commander He, let's toast Xiuge and Zishu together."

Song Luoshen suggested.

The commander of the 30 imperial army, He Wugui, who can be called powerful, showed a peaceful but pure smile, looked at Cao Xiuge and Zishu, and took the initiative to hold the wine glass.

"Congratulations."

Looking at thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, there are very few people who can afford his glass of wine.

Cao Xiuge toasted with Zishu.

"Thank you."

Several people drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.

"I'm really glad to hear from him that you are willing to help. I thought he would come back in disgrace."

Song Luoshen put down the teacup and smiled lightly,

"I asked you, but I didn't invite you several times. Why did you agree as soon as he came out?"

"Luo Shen, don't take your resentment towards him to me. He has blocked the door of my classroom. Can I not agree?"

Cao Xiuge was also full of smiles.

"At least, don't talk about visiting the thatched cottage, you should also let him be shut down, right?"

For Cao Xiuge's repeated rejection of her, Song Luoshen seemed a little bit resentful.

Cao Xiuge shook his head and smiled wryly.

He Wuzheng sat beside him quietly, without interrupting. In terms of official position, he may be the tallest among several people, but he cannot become the future of this country and the world.

"You really think about it?"

Song Luoshen nodded, put away his joking tone, and stared at Cao Xiuge seriously.

With the other party's current status, what is needed to re-enter the stage is courage unimaginable by ordinary people.

Moreover, this responsibility, as early as a few years ago, he no longer had to bear it.

Cao Xiuge rubbed the porcelain cup, was silent for a moment, and smiled faintly.

"I don't seem to have any other options."

"You can get on with your life and no one will blame you."

Song Luoshen said softly: "Everyone should have the right to choose their own life independently."

"and then?"

Cao Xiuge looked at her and asked back with a smile.

"Watching you go through life and death, can I continue to be my teacher with peace of mind?"

Song Luoshen didn't speak.

"My surname is Cao."

Cao Xiuge said calmly: "Our Cao family has been fighting for this country for generations. My father and my mother both died on overseas battlefields. I was only five years old when they left. I just thought it was just normal. , away from home for a few days, never thought that an ordinary farewell would turn into a permanent farewell in the end."

"I just remember that when their bodies were brought back, many people came to the house, and it was very lively. Looking at those white stripes and white flowers, I wanted to cry, because I knew that my two dearest people would never see each other again. , but I didn’t cry in the end, because I saw my grandpa standing in the middle of the hall, looking at the photos of my father and mother, always looking up, without a drop of tears. When he turned around and saw my Sometimes, I just hugged me and told me that dying for the country is a kind of honor, something to be proud of and should not be sad or sad."

He Wuzhen, who is also a soldier, looks resolute, looking out the window, drinking wine silently.

Although many years have passed, he still remembers the demeanor of that Confucian general of the Cao family.

He even remembered the elegant and hearty smile when the other party patted him on the shoulder.

If it hadn't been for the other party's untimely death, the one from the Li family would probably not have become the one-word side-by-side king so easily.

"At that time, the higher-ups proposed to bury my parents in Baoshan, but my grandfather refused. He said that the horse leather shroud is the duty and destiny of soldiers, and it should be taken for granted. It should not be used to show off and show off. It was sprinkled into the sea, and no one was given a chance to worship."

Speaking of this, Cao Xiuge paused.

The atmosphere also fell into silence.

Li Futu held his wine glass and remained silent.

This is the first time he has heard of these things, and now he finally understands why the upper echelons are so tolerant to Cao Xiuge, and why Cao Xiuge's reputation can still overwhelm Li Haotian after Mr. Cao lost power, and he is honored as the prince by the dandy masters in the capital city.

This honor was all earned by Mrs. Cao with her passion.

"Of course, I can't compare to my parents. Although I'm just a white man now, I don't dare to forget about the country when I'm humble, don't I?"

Cao Xiuge had calm eyes and smiled lightly.
