"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Diao Linxiang's tall figure hurriedly knelt down and apologized when Zhang Xiu was furious.
Diao Linxiang is obviously more confusing than Hu Cheer in appearance. Not only is he big and thick, but he is hung with a short stick on his waist as a weapon, which looks very different. Now that he was scolded by Zhang Xiu, he realized that he was fooled by Hu Cheer. While kneeling on the ground and apologizing to Zhang Xiu, he glared fiercely at Hu Cheer who was straddling two short knives on his waist.
Hu Cheer ignored him at all and turned his back, pretending not to see Diao Linxiang's expression. Anyway, Diao Linxiang was always fucked by Hu Cheer, and he often got angry afterwards, but he couldn't do anything to Hu Cheer every time.
"Tell you, you don't have any thoughts about me, my aunt. She was born from our Zhang family and died from our Zhang family. My uncle died, no one should think of touching her finger again... She will be a decoration next, and there is no other value..."
Hu Cheer in the room and Diao Linxiang had no choice but to accept it after Zhang Xiu's angrily confession. They did have bad thoughts about the Zou family after Zhang Ji's death. They had seen a man with such a charming and beautiful woman as Zou family, and there was an unmoved person. After they learned that Zhang Xiu would never feel that he would do such a thing, this thought became even more prosperous.
The confidants of Zhang Xiu like Hu Cheer, Diao Linxiang and others have always hoped that after making great achievements for Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu would reward them with Zou. But Zhang Xiu’s statement today is enough to explain the problem, and they have no hope!
The three people in the room were busy getting angry and apologizing, and no one noticed that a petite figure went back outside the secret room. When the petite figure heard Zhang Xiu say that she was a decoration and had no value for use, this seemingly beautiful and weak body instantly burst into an aura. This breath conveyed a hint of resoluteness and dissatisfaction, and then gritted her teeth and left.
Then for three consecutive days, Zhang Xiu held a banquet every day to entertain Cao Zhi and others. However, Cao Zhi rarely led the crowd to attend, basically eating and drinking in his own building, either in the fields, in the farmhouse, in the barracks, and in dealing with the previous meal.
Cao Zhi has gone out very early every day these days. Sometimes, Zhang Xiu asked about the house early, but he could not stop Cao Zhi from going out.
What did Cao Zhi go so early? Cao Zhi has a lot of itinerary every day. Today, he had to accompany the officials in charge of grain and grass in Wancheng to inspect the granary, inspect the armory tomorrow, and inspect the suburbs the day after tomorrow. He was busy every day until the sun rose, and he went out and returned to his residence every day.
While Cao Zhi used such high-intensity and concentrated work to destroy himself, Zhang Xiu, who had been with him for two days, felt unable to bear it. Then, he asked Cao Zhi for a false statement, claiming that his injuries had not healed and he could not stand the running around the world in Cao Zhi.
Cao Zhi wished Zhang Xiu would not follow him! Not only did he just checked the leave, he comforted Zhang Xiu, saying that before his injury was healed, he must pay attention to rest well, so that he would not need Zhang Xiu to accompany him, just have those officials in Nanyang and Wancheng to accompany him. He also asked the imperial physician who accompanied him to visit the Imperial Hospital to treat Zhang Xiu, but the latter failed Cao Zhi's kindness and did not drink any decoctions sent by the Imperial Medicine Doctor.
In his usual words, Cao Zhi explained why he was so interested in Wancheng. Cao Zhi took Yuan Shu, who is now recognized as a national rebel, as a shield. Cao Zhi told Zhang Xiu that Yuan Shu had lived here for many years, and everyone knew that he liked this place very much. Cao Zhi also wanted to experience the reason why Yuan Shu loved Wancheng.
After hearing Cao Zhi's words, Zhang Xiu fell into the mansion and threw countless teacups and vases, and threw a tantrum. He also said to himself, "You want to explore the reasons why others like it, why are you here for me? Fuck, are you ready to live forever if you fall in love with it..."
Cao Zhi's high-intensity work was, on the one hand, intentionally avoided Zhang Xiu and used the beauty plan, and on the other hand, he also took the opportunity to establish a good image of diligence, loving the people, working diligently, and working hard among the newly surrendered officials of Nanyang.
Cao Zhi's behavior has actually touched Zhang Xiu's status and interests in Nanyang, so he can't be aware of it! But Cao Zhi is the representative of the court and the emperor's acceptance of Nanyang. Even if Cao Zhi wants to replace Zhang Xiu out of Nanyang and become an official in Xudu, it is OK. If Zhang Xiu openly resists, Cao Zhi can punish him for the crime of rebellion.
Zhang Xiu was also increasingly worried about this matter. Although he was hiding at home, he was quiet, but he knew that the public praised Cao Zhi for his public praise, but what good way was there?
"Lord, Cao Zhi has recently won over many officials in Nanyang. Those people have privately praised Cao Zhi as a rare Ming Gong! I will be worried that if this continues, Cao Zhi will win over enough people's hearts and will give us..."
Zhang Xiu waved his hand with a very bad face and interrupted Hu Cheer's advice, and said with a cold face: "How could I not know that Cao Zhi is winning the hearts of the people, but he was an imperial envoy sent by the orthodox court and the most powerful person in the dynasty. Our foundation here is too short. Those fence-bearing plants, seeing that the tree is big, just leaning over there. But it doesn't matter, just civil officials, Cao Zhi has not dared to reach out to our army. As long as there is news from Liu Biao, we will..."
Zhang Xiu's face was so gloomy that he didn't finish his next words, but just made a hand-cutting move towards Hu Cheer, and then kept saying, "Come on the names of those fence-skinned grass for me first, and we will finally settle the accounts after autumn.
"As for orders...well... lord Fang Shun, Deng Ji and other soldiers captured by Cao Zhi have not seen Cao Zhi send back yet. Is the lord going to negotiate with Cao Zhi? We can also try to increase our strength!"
"No need, these people will definitely not come back. It is impossible for Cao Zhi to swallow the things in his mouth and spit it out. If I didn't do that, these people would not be able to rely on them. Even if Cao Zhi asked them to come back now, I would be worried about them. Since Cao Zhi is so cautious about us, we must be wary of them everywhere. Be careful of being taken preemptively by him. You should still look forward to our existing troops and seize the opportunity to give Cao Zhi some pleasure. At worst, I don't want this Wancheng anymore. We retreat to Rangcheng!"
#########Wancheng is peaceful on the surface, but it is undercurrents in secret.
It was another sunny day. Cao Zhi got up early as usual, but because Zhang Xiu had already taken leave yesterday, Cao Zhi also decided to stop his crazy inspection and take a day off.
Not to mention that he couldn't stand this kind of high-intensity inspection work, the officials below had already been exhausted, and Jia Xu was one of them. Jia Xu didn't know whether he had heard of Zhang Xiu's words and deeds or observed something, but after accompanying Cao Zhi for two days of inspection, he fell ill.
Cao Zhi went to see him, Jia Xu was really sick this time. When Cao Zhi comforted Jia Xu to take care of his illness, Jia Xu suddenly sighed: "Sometimes, old friends for many years will become, people's hearts are separated from their belly, they cannot see through, they cannot see through..."
Cao Zhi immediately understood what Jia Xu was hinting at him. Cao Zhi patted Jia Xu's bedding and comforted him: "Sir, don't worry, I'm prepared, I'm prepared!"
Jia Xu, who is good at scheming and scheming human nature, may have had a premonition that the first failure in his life is about to happen, so while he was lost, he did not forget to mention Cao Zhi.
What surprised Jia Xu was that, judging by Cao Zhi's meaning, he had been prepared for the future. He didn't understand that with his countless people and his super analysis ability, he could only predict some signs. Why did Cao Zhi have the ability to foresee Zhang Xiu's judgment again, and he looked very sure. I really don't know that he made the judgment based on the comprehensive information and analysis of the situation.
Jia Xu was suspicious, so he made him doubt first, telling him that he was from the future, and he would not believe it, so he could only cause trouble.
It was a rare morning when Cao Zhi decided to relax his tense nerves and enjoy a less hurry breakfast. He pushed open the window that had never been opened and went to the terrace. While having breakfast, he enjoyed the nourishment of the morning light.
"ah!"
Cao Zhi opened his arms, stretched his arms, came to the terrace, and took a deep breath. At this time, the servant who accompanied the army was moving the dining table to the terrace at Cao Zhi's request.
Taking advantage of the busy work of the servants, Cao Zhi stood by the fence of the terrace for the first time, and saw the extremely magnificent and huge county government. Because the pavilion where Cao Zhi lives is considered to be taller in the county government, the terrace on the upper level can still see the whole picture of the county government, but part of it was blocked by another pavilion that was almost the same height in front of him.
Of course, this little bit of beauty does not affect Cao Zhi's good mood today. He was enjoying the gentle breeze to caress his face and the unoptimistic morning light shining. Suddenly, a pretty girl's head was stretched out from the window of the pavilion opposite. He looked at him as if he had discovered a treasure and then shrank back. After a while, he came back. This time he was no longer alone, and the pretty girl just now, there were one more time, and there were two more, and he was constantly scanning Cao Zhi, and even pointed at him with his little finger.
Cao Zhi didn't care at first, but after feeling the two bold little girls pointing fingers, they noticed someone in the window opposite. The two were also very brave and did not dodge when they saw Cao Zhi. But when Cao Zhi paid attention to them, the two little girls flew away.
Cao Zhi smiled and said that he was so handsome when he stood on the terrace, Yushu Lingfeng, which attracted some maids and beautiful maids to look at him secretly! After a while of narcissism, the servants also set up the dining table and breakfast. So Cao Zhi began to enjoy his sunny breakfast.
Just as Cao Zhi was raising his food, a faint fragrance that seemed familiar to be radiating from the petals floated in the air.
