After the dinner, Sima Yi repelled Sima's brothers and climbed the small building with Cao Miao.

Standing upstairs, blowing the mountain breeze, looking at the stars in the night sky and the bonfires in front of the camp tent in the river valley, Sima Yi sighed quietly.

"The career of officials is like this valley at night, where murderous intentions are everywhere. If you don't raise a fire, you will not know the way forward and you will inevitably make mistakes. If you raise a fire, you will be coveted by all beasts and will be attacked at any time. Are you not careful?"

Cao Miao was stunned for a moment and felt that this sentence sounded familiar. After a while, he couldn't help laughing. The knowledge and skills of the ancients may not be developed, but their wisdom is no less than that of future generations, especially heroes like Sima Yi.

He obviously realized their similar situations and had the same problems that they had to face, so he expressed the idea of ​​summoning indirectly. As for whether it was sincere, it was hard to say. At this time, at that time, history is complex, and human nature is complex, and it cannot be consistent.

"Why did the Grand Marshal say this?" Cao Miao said with a smile.

After drinking a meal, the rice was already in the pot, and the wood was about to come. If nothing unexpected happens, it is a foregone conclusion that Sima Yi becomes his father-in-law. The two are no longer in the face of the stingy wheat, and they can be more easy-going. Since Sima Yi looks heartbroken, he doesn't mind listening to what Sima Yi wants to say.

"Actually nothing. Li Xiaoyuan (Li Kang) once said: The trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy them; the piles are piled on the shore, and the currents will rush them; the movements are higher than people, and the people will criticize them. At that time, I only thought that the literati complained without any illness, but now it seems that they are truly aware of the outstanding people."

Sima Yi turned his head and looked at Cao Miao. "Mr. Xu Yi said frankly that you are not a good son-in-law, but the situation is forcing others to do so."

Cao Miao tilted his head, looking confused. "Who forced you?"

Sima Yi chuckled: "You and I all know each other well, so why bother?"

Cao Miao's expression remained unchanged. No matter whether Sima Yi was sincere or false, he would never be able to give his secret to Sima Yi, and it would never be possible in this life. Even if Sima Yi really wanted to form an alliance now, he would not guarantee that he would betray him in the future.

Whether the wolf is true or false is indefinite. Sima Yi is famous for his rebellion without trust.

Sima Yi looked around and was addicted to the night view of the mountains, which made Cao Miao feel that he might recite a few lines of poetry at any time. However, Sima Yi did not recite the poem in the end. He pondered for a while and asked Cao Miao a question.

"I heard that you have a profound martial arts skills, is it true?"

"Who did the Taiwei tell me?" Cao Miao's expression remained unchanged, but his heart moved. He specially released the bait to show his force to Aunt Ren, just to know who the person behind Aunt Ren was. Han Long reported that he followed Aunt Ren to a manor, and saw an old man with white hair and beard from afar. Later, he saw another carriage, and a tall man met the old man.

Because he wanted to investigate the owner of the manor, Han Long had no time to check the identity of this person.

Could it be that this tall person is Sima Yi in front of him?

When Cao Miao heard Han Long's report, he thought of Sima Yi. After all, in this era of average height of 1.6 meters, there were not many people with a figure of 1.8 meters and a noble status - this can be seen from the accompanying carriages and horses and servants.

But he didn't expect Sima Yi to reveal his identity on his own initiative. Did he habitually cheat his teammates again, or did he deliberately make bait clichés?

"I can't speak out." Sima Yi smiled. "If the village master is inconvenient, there is no need to force him."

Cao Miao laughed. Sima Yi was indeed cunning, and he was very good at taking the right measures. He didn't say who it was, but showed enough fear. How many people could make him afraid of? He could count it with one hand. He did not force him to admit it, but when it comes to this point, his failure to admit it is equivalent to admit it.

"It's okay, it may be a little far from the depth." Cao Miao smiled slightly.

"Is the dog injured? Is it an accident?"

"It was an accident, not an accident."

"What's the solution?"

Cao Miao touched his head and smiled shyly. "It was not an accident to attack him. I had wanted to kill him for a long time. It was an accident that I didn't fall to death. I didn't expect him to be so heavy and react quickly enough."

Sima Yi slightly pointed his head and did not ask anything else. Although Cao Miao answered vaguely, he found Cao Miao's background. Cao Miao was indeed skilled, but his strength was limited and it was not enough to have an absolute advantage over Sima Shi. Otherwise, Sima Shi would not have escaped this disaster and was knocked to death at that time.

"It seems that you have some prejudice against my father and son." Sima Yi sighed softly: "Fortunately, these are all over. Now, like you, I am a rich and idle person, and I have no great hatred for life and death. Such a thing should not happen again in the future. We will work together to serve the court with slight power."

Cao Miao let out a breath, smacked his lips, and stopped talking.

This time it was not a performance, it was really helpless. He didn't believe Sima Yi, but he couldn't see Sima Yi's flaws. He met an opponent, and he was an opponent with better strength. Judging from Sima Yi's sincere look, who would believe that he was lying?

Xiahou Xu definitely didn't believe it, and Cao Rui wouldn't believe it either.

OK, it's still a long time anyway, so it's not a short time.

——

Sima Yi went downstairs. Under Cao Miao's gaze, he left the village and went to camp in the river valley.

Cao Miao thought about his thoughts and heard the stairs behind him sounding softly. The person who came seemed a little hesitant, not only the footsteps were heavy, but also intermittent, and he seemed to have to consider whether to go upstairs.

Cao Miao turned around and looked at it, and found that Xiahou Hui was standing downstairs, with no one around him, not even a maid. She was carrying a lantern herself, and the light illuminated her clothes. From his perspective, her plump figure was particularly clear in the darkness, with a thin layer of sweat covering her delicate skin, emitting a moist light, like an oil painting.

Cao Miao suddenly realized that although Xiahou Hui was only eighteen years old, he was a young woman who had just given birth and was still breastfeeding.

"It's you?" Cao Miao frowned, with a little dry mouth.

"I..." Xiahou Hui was also embarrassed when he was discovered by Cao Miao, but he still raised his head and looked at Cao Miao. "...it's me."

"Didn't you get what you want? Why are you here to do again?" Cao Miao snorted, turned his head, leaned on the railing, ignoring Xiahou Hui.

Seeing that Cao Miaoyu was still angry and still angry with her, Xiahou Hui sighed, walked up slowly, stood at the entrance of the stairs, and bowed slightly. "Mr. Township, I don't deny that I have always intentionally promoted this marriage, but today's result... is definitely not something I have done deliberately."

"What's the difference between doing it deliberately? Mu Ji Chengzhou can still break his promise?" Cao Miao suddenly turned his head, his eyes confused. "Is it because you are guilty in your heart to fulfill your promise?"

"Ah?" Xiahou Hui was slightly stunned. When he remembered the agreement with Cao Miao, he was immediately panicked and shook his hands repeatedly. "No, I am not, don't get me wrong."
