Cao Shuang stared at Cao Zhi and looked at him again and again, looking a little surprised.

After not seeing each other for two months, Cao Zhi's complexion improved significantly. His originally thin cheeks became more plump and looked more majestic. His face was no longer pale, slightly dark, but his blood color was very good, especially his lips. His eyes were shiny, and he walked more imposingly, and he felt a bit like a brave warrior.

"Is the king cultivating immortals? Is it a child? " Cao Shuang couldn't help but joke with Cao Zhi, half a test, and felt a little uneasy.

His father Cao Zhen rushed to Guanzhong and his health was in a bad state. His younger brother Cao Xi wrote a letter from home, and he said in his words that he wanted to end the war as soon as possible and return to Luoyang to recuperate.

But they all knew in their hearts that this was unlikely. Although Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu, retreated from Longyou, did not return to Chengdu, but stayed in Hanzhong. His heart was not dead and he would definitely come again. Guanzhong would not be able to settle down for a while. Now the right general Zhang He has been transferred to the command of General Cavalry, and Cao Zhen cannot leave Guanzhong at all.

Cao Shuang was really worried that his father Cao Zhen would die of illness. After two months of thinking, he knew more about the significance of his father's life to the country and the family. He hoped that his father could become stronger and stronger like Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi was a little embarrassed. Of course, he was embarrassed to say that it was because Cao Miao was chasing him with a stick and was trained every day. However, it cannot be said that he was practicing immortality. After all, Cao Miao must maintain the image of a madman to the outside world, rather than a alchemist who practices alchemy.

"What immortals should I cultivate?" Cao Zhi bowed to the direction of the palace. "I received the edict from Your Majesty and went to the capital with the edict. If I had the opportunity to meet the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty's Holy Face, I was happy and naturally I would have more health."

Cao Shuang felt relieved, and then felt a little disappointed. He turned around and invited Cao Zhi to the city.

Cao Zhi's fief is in Yongqiu, but he still has a vassal residence in Luoyang. He usually leaves a few people to guard, clean, collect information, and send it back to the vassal state. Some people from the vassal state come to the capital to do business and live in the vassal residence. Cao Zhi has lived a coward in recent years, and the vassal residence has been used for other purposes. This time he was ordered to enter the capital, and the vassal residence was cleaned up and the seriously damaged areas were repaired. It looks okay, at least better than the royal palace in Yongqiu.

After Cao Zhi moved in, Cao Shuang said goodbye, and Cao Zhi asked him to ask the emperor for an order. If the emperor has no time to see him for the time being, he would like to go and see the Empress Dowager first.

Cao Shuang asked Cao Miao's condition again, whether it was serious or not, whether to arrange for the imperial physician to take a look first.

Cao Zhi said that Cao Miao was fine recently, and he only sent two or three messages along the way, and was disturbed. When he arrived in Luoyang, he could rest with peace of mind. If no one disturbed him, there should be no problem. There is no need to invite an imperial physician for the time being.

Cao Shuang looked a little strange, but she didn't say much and turned around and left.

The Yongqiu Fan Mansion is located in the southwest corner of Luoyang City. Not far east is the famous Tongtu Street. Standing on the second floor of the backyard, you can see the broken Zhuqueque Que to the east, and you can vaguely see the city walls to the west. There are many luxury houses nearby, with many small buildings, including three-story and four-story high-rise buildings. The two-story buildings in the Fan Mansion are not conspicuous, and even a little shabby.

Even so, Cao Miao stood in the small building and watched for a long time, silently remembering the surrounding terrain. He came to Luoyang not to recuperate, but to call him sick to the outside world and to thank guests in secret for the convenience of action. Although there was no explicit statement, he and Cao Zhi had a tacit understanding. Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi was in the clear, and he was in the secret, fighting the tiger brothers, and going to the battle for father and son.

He understood what Cao Zhi meant, but he didn't say it out loud.

There are many things in this world that are like this, see through and not tell them.

"Prince, I seem to have been here." Ah Hu suddenly said, pointing at the Zhuqueque in the distance. "I have some impression."

"Of course you have been here." Qingtao cleaned up the room and walked out of it. He happened to hear Ah Hu's words, and then continued. "When you entered the mansion, the king was still in Luoyang. But you remember it very early. At that time, you were at most three or four years old. Do you remember this?"

Ah Hu scratched his head and said nothing.

Cao Miao could hear it clearly, but didn't ask much.

He was also curious about Ah Hu's life experience and asked Cao Zhi privately. Cao Zhi said he had no impression. At that time, Emperor Wen was so mocked by Emperor Wen that he was dying of ecstasy. He had no intention of paying attention to a slave. Ah Hu's appearance was different from that of Han people, perhaps because his mother was a Xianbei. There were many Xianbei people in the Central Plains, most of whom were living in a difficult life. There were many concubines who married Han people and became concubines, and it was common for wealthy families to be found in almost every family.

As soon as Cao Shuang left, Cao Zhi welcomed his first visitor: Xiahou Mao.

Xiahou Mao is the second son of Xiahou Dun, and his wife is Cao Cao's daughter Princess Qinghe. She is considered to be Cao Zhi's brother-in-law. However, he has a fair relationship with Cao Zhi, but he is closer to Cao Pi. It is not his own wish to visit Cao Zhi, but Princess Qinghe.

I heard that Cao Zhi encountered a thief in Zhongmu. Although he was able to escape from his battle, he was robbed of all his property. Princess Qinghe couldn't bear to leave her younger brother and sent Xiahou Mao to send fifty gold to provide Cao Zhi with living expenses.

Xiahou Mao didn't want to come, and he didn't want to give money, but he had to come. He had just lost his position as General Anxi, and was currently at home and had to rely on Princess Qinghe to support him. He had no family status and could only obey orders.

After making a few remarks with Cao Zhihan, Xiahou Mao asked about Cao Miao.

Cao Zhi said that after nearly a month of traveling, Cao Miao was weak and in poor spirits, so it is not suitable to see guests for the time being. Please forgive me.

Xiahou Mao was a little disappointed and left a disappointment, leaving a message saying that he would come back to visit again in two days, hoping to meet Cao Miao.

Cao Zhi felt strange, so Cao Zhi sent a message to Cao Miao to prepare. When Xiahou Mao first arrived in Luoyang, he would see him, and something must be strange.

Cao Miao didn't understand either. He didn't know much about Xiahou Mao. Xiahou Mao in history books was a waste and had no sense of existence. He couldn't think of any intersection between Xiahou Mao and him.

However, he quickly got the answer.

That night, the woman who sent him Yu Xiao appeared again to report the information she had heard. When Cao Miao mentioned Xiahou Mao, she smiled strangely.

"Xiahou Mao raised many singular geniuses in Chang'an, spending all day and emptied his body. Now he has returned to Luoyang, but he cannot satisfy Princess Qinghe's request. He hopes to regain his strength by regaining his strength. He heard that inner alchemy techniques can help Yang, so he will certainly not let it go."

"You know this kind of thing too?" Cao Miao joked halfway. "The way you inquired about the news is to listen to the wall in the middle of the night, right?"

The woman curled her lips and disagreed. "The guzzlies in Luoyang City are all my eyes and ears. Private affairs in the boudoir are not major military affairs, and they don't even need to inquire. They just treat them as jokes."

Cao Miao was stunned and was overjoyed. He really didn't expect that things would be so simple. But thinking about it, the bed was the most likely place to leak secrets. The beauty plot became new after a long time. Whether it was the Xianbei or Wuhuan people, they were all inferior nations in the eyes of Han people. They were discriminated against, so they were more likely to gather together to keep warm, and there was no surprise that they communicated with each other.

This is simply a natural intelligence network, and it would be a waste not to use it well.

"Tell me, how have you done what I asked you to do in the past few months?"
