Chapter 344: The Worst Plan

Seeing that the time was almost the same, Cao Miao left the house. He did not go to Mrs. Sun's official hall, so he boarded the boat directly and rushed to Zhaojun's house by water.

Lu Hong had been waiting on the boat for a long time, watching Cao Miao board the boat, and was in a good mood, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The boat sailed out of the water camp and entered the Yangtze River. Looking at the towering Yellow Crane Tower on Huanghu Mountain being shined by the sunset, Cao Miao sighed quietly.

As one of the three famous buildings in Jiangnan, how many changes have this Yellow Crane Tower seen?

Perhaps it was a coincidence that two of the three famous buildings were built in this era and were related to the Wu Dynasty's defense of the attack on Western Shu. In the minds of the kings and ministers of the Wu Kingdom, the Shu Han and the Han dynasties located in the upper reaches may be the lingering shadow in their hearts. They had to build two tall buildings so that they could see farther and farther away.

Lu Hong came over and said with a smile: "Cao Miao is so emotional, would he want to write a poem?"

Cao Miao laughed silently. "You are a bit unkind. Am I the kind of person who can improvise poetry?"

Lu Hong and Cao Miao have been together for a long time, so they naturally knew that Cao Miao was not good at poetry and essays and had no good feelings for literati Xiang. Otherwise, they would not have fought with Sancong, one of the four congregations, and won the reputation of the middle finger prince.

"The Yellow Crane Tower in front of Cao Jun has a bit of a relationship with the person Cao Miao will meet later. Without his ingenuity, this building cannot be built so high."

Cao Miao remembered the skillful craftsman Lu Hong mentioned, became interested and asked about some information. Lu Hong briefly introduced that this man's surname was Ge, his name was Heng, his courtesy name was Sizhen, and he was from Wujun. He was born with cleverness and had made his own armillary sphere based on ancient books to embody the sun, moon and stars. When he built the Yellow Crane Tower, he also participated in it. It was precisely because of his help that the Yellow Crane Tower could be built so high.

"What's more coincidental is that this Ge Sizhen once boasted that his skills of mechanism were taught by immortals."

Cao Miao glanced at Lu Hong and smiled without saying a word. Is this girl Chun's heart moved? She actually joked with me.

"Ge Sizhen has a clan uncle named Ge Xuan, whose courtesy name is Xiaoxian. He is a Taoist who cultivates immortals. He is known as Ge Tianshi, and some people call him Immortals, who are like Yu Ji. Is Cao Jun interested in seeing and discussing Taoism?"

"What kind of Tao did he practice? Taiping or Tianshi? Is he taking food, breathing, or in the room? Is he practiced Rong Chengzi, Su Nu Sutra, or the secret map from Tianzhu?"

Lu Hong's face turned slightly red. Although she was more knowledgeable than an ordinary woman, she was still an unmarried woman and could not calmly discuss the art of sex. She wanted to tease Cao Miao, but she never thought that she would be teased by Cao Miao instead.

"Does Cao Jun concentrate on Taoism? Do he want to live forever?"

"What is the point of immortality? The world is full of flies. For eternity, the sea turns into mulberry fields." Cao Miao turned his head and looked out the window. The sunset was setting, and the light on the river was shining with gold, which was so beautiful. "I practiced the Tao, 'I heard the Tao in the morning and died in the evening'."

Lu Hong looked at Cao Miao's side face and was moved for a moment. She had known Cao Miao for so long, and had struggles and cooperation. She was used to seeing Cao Miao crazy and laughing and scolding, but this was the first time she discovered that Cao Miao had such a quiet and profound moment. Although the words she blurted out were not elegant, the artistic conception was profound, and it was definitely not comparable to poems that deliberately showed off their rhetoric.

Perhaps the wife said it was right, and Cao Miao was pretending to be crazy, but he was not for the intrigue between Wei and Wu, victory or defeat, life and death, but for the great way of heaven and earth.

The boat arrived at Zhaojun Boat. Zhaojun Boat received the news in advance and refused other foreign guests. The lanterns were hung on the boat. Some early guests were turned away, but they were wandering around the river, waiting to see who was rich and powerful, so they booked the entire Zhaojun Boat. If they met a generous owner, they might be invited to enjoy a free meal.

Seeing the Jiefanying boat slowly sailing, leaning against the side of Zhaojun Boat, everyone on the shore sighed depressedly, and many people left with their sleeves. Jiefanying, the School Affairs Office is a notorious existence, not an ideal financial supporter for scholars, and they are afraid of avoiding it.

In a blink of an eye, only a few lonely figures were left on the shore.

After a while, a small boat docked, and a waiter stood at the bow of the boat and shouted: "Who is Ge Sizhen?"

A middle-aged man in a shirt walked over quickly, bowed his hand and took out the invitation from his sleeve. After checking, the waiter asked him to get on the boat. When the others saw each other, they looked at each other, shook their heads, and left in a bad mood.

Cao Miao sat on the tower of Zhaojun Boat, leaning against the railing, looking at the approaching boat and the middle-aged man on the boat. Aunt Ren stood beside him and quickly reported the news he had received recently. Cao Miao hadn't come for a long time, and there were quite a lot to say.

The most important thing is that Yang Jian escapes from school prison.

"This is a weird thing. Without an insider, you can't do it at all." Aunt Ren said.

"Who is the inner companion?" Cao Miao withdrew his gaze and looked at Aunt Ren. "The School Bureau is hated by others and is directly under His Majesty. There should not be many people willing to complicit with them, let alone spies from the Wu Kingdom."

Aunt Ren's eyes flashed, and he wanted to speak but stopped. Cao Miao saw it sincerely and said, "Auntie, you and I will work together. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it."

Let the aunt bow and bow again. "Mr., I think that everything is the worst plan and the best effort. The Mr. is special in identity and the situation is complicated, and it is better than others. We must be wary of some people who use any means and are extremely vicious."

Cao Miao nodded. "How many subordinates do you have in Luoyang?"

"A hundred or ten people."

"Remind them to hide or retreat to prevent the disaster of collapse of the nest." Cao Miao heard the stairs and knew that someone had come up. He picked up a pen from the desk, wrote a few words on the prepared paper, and handed it to Aunt Ren. "Let your granddaughter withdraw from Luoyang."

Aunt Ren took it and glanced at it. "Thank you, the township master." Before Lu Hong led Ge Heng to appear, he put the paper in his sleeve.

Lu Hong came to Cao Miao and pointed at Ge Heng. "Jun Cao, this is Ge Jun Sizhen, who is skillful."

Ge Heng stepped forward and bowed to show his respect. "Ge Heng, Wujun, asked Mr. Cao to be fine." He picked up the wooden box he carried with him, opened the lid, took out something from it, and unfolded it on the table. It was a delicately crafted kite, made of silk, and there was a dragon and phoenix pattern on it. The ink color was still fresh, and you could tell at a glance that it was just made.

Cao Miao was surprised. Lu Hong informed Ge Heng not long, and minus the time on the road, the time Ge Heng could use to make is very limited. "How long did Ge Jun use to make this kite?"

"Half an hour." Ge Heng smiled and said, "I used to imitate wooden kites based on the Lu Ban Jing, and I have some experience."

"Have you made a wooden kite? Can it fly into the sky?"

"I can fly, but I can't do it for three days." Ge Heng shook his head and said ashamed: "I'm still too stupid than my predecessors."

Cao Miao couldn't help laughing. "Ge Jun is so modest. If you are stupid, we are all stupid like a cow." He paused and said, "But I might be able to help Ge Jun with one arm to let the wooden kite fly into the sky and not fall for three days. I wonder if Ge Jun is interested in studying together?"

"Can you really not fall for three days?"

"Although the opportunity is not great, as long as you work properly, there are still possibilities." Cao Miao turned to look at Lu Hong. "Of course, it would be even better if Jiefanying can provide some convenience."

Lu Hong understood it. This was a good opportunity to recruit Ge Heng. He responded: "If Ge Jun does not abandon him, Jiefanying will naturally welcome him."

Ge Heng was a little hesitant, and Cao Miao said with a chance: "Ge Jun, although the Yellow Crane Tower is good, it is not a yellow crane after all. You can fly higher and farther. If you can seize the opportunity, you can even soar into the sky."
