He walked forward two intersections and met with Zhang Wei.

Twenty pieces of Shu brocade were placed in front of Cao Miao, as bright as clouds.

Cao Miao's mood was a little dark. Not only because he had a full blow but was empty, but also because the severity of reality was beyond his imagination. Zhong Tai was a son of the Zhong family of Yingchuan and a clan member of the grand tutor Zhong Yao. His career was so difficult that he had to take risks, let alone others.

"Do you know, these twenty Shu brocades are not for proposing marriage, but for entering the gate of General Cavalry's Mansion."

Zhang Wei was very calm. He squatted on the side of the road and silently said for a while. "The prince knows how much it will cost to ask for a thousand people?"

Cao Miao shook his head.

Zhang Wei raised a finger. "One thousand pieces of silk, five hundred people, five hundred pieces. This is a clear price. If twenty pieces of brocade can enter the General of Cavalry and drink a few glasses of wine, it will be worth it. In one word, General Cavalry will not be easy to reward a hundred generals. If he is really attracted by General Cavalry, his future career will be limitless and he will make a lot of money."

Cao Miao looked at Zhang Wei and said for a while: "You are the one who is a deserter?"

"What if I don't become a deserter? No matter how much military merit I have accumulated, I can't be able to give official positions. Working hard is not just for others, but it's better to be a ranger. Get money in one hand and take life in the other. If I get the opportunity, I might be able to avenge Mr. Xuanwei."

Cao Miao suddenly became interested. "If you have the chance, who do you want to kill the most?"

Zhang Wei turned his head to look at Cao Miao, his eyes trembled, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he moved away again. "Zhong Yao." He paused and said, "There are too many people who want to kill, and they can't count them for a while. However, in terms of the person he wanted to kill the most, it was undoubtedly the Grand Tutor Zhong. He was the initiator of the Wei Fei case back then."

Cao Miao smiled. "No, it's my father's fault. If he hadn't been confused and gave up the opportunity to give it to his mouth in vain, he wouldn't have implicated so many people."

Zhang Wei's body was obviously stiffened for a moment before he got back down. He nodded. "It's not wrong for the prince to say this. If King Yongqiu was not drunk at that time and was fighting against Guan Yu in the south, it might have been a different situation later. But who would have thought that the king took the overall situation into consideration and gave up, and finally killed so tragically. If you want to blame, you can only blame the king for reading too much."

Zhang Wei lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said, "Prince, since you have put this point, I want to ask you something."

"you say."

"The situation is much more difficult now than ten years ago. Can the king do it?"

"I don't know." Cao Miao said lightly: "Xiaoru, the road ahead is dark. I only know how to go forward. I can't give you a clear answer to whether you can see the light. So, if you want to quit, it's still time."

Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Qingtao and Zhang Meng who were huddling together and whispering not far away, and laughed silently. "The prince is not afraid of the body of a daughter. I have nothing to be afraid of, life and death are all my life, fight them."

He stood up, patted his clothes, bowed and bowed. "Prince, take care of him." He looked at Cao Miao deeply, raised his hand, and took Zhu Da and others away, singing as if no one was around.

"Catch the flying tulle with your hand up, leaning over and scattering the horse's hooves. Better than the monkey and ape, brave as leopard and dragon..."

Cao Miao squatted in the shadow of the corner of the wall, watching Zhang Wei and others leave, with a heavy weight on his shoulders. This is not just a matter of their father and son. All those involved put their hopes on his shoulders, and he must not treat them carefully.

Otherwise, they would be implicated by him and suffer unintentional disasters like Sun Yong.

——

When he returned to the mansion, Cao Miao went to see Cao Zhi first.

Cao Zhi's wound was scabbed, but he couldn't get off the ground. He lay on the cold couch and did not forget to read a book. Seeing Cao Miao come in, he held up his upper body and greeted him. Cao Miao sat down beside him and looked down.

"What book?"

"Zhuangzi."

"Look at what this thing is doing, do you want to borrow rice to put it into the pot like him?" Cao Miao raised his foot and kicked the book on the ground away.

Cao Zhi grinned in pain, but did not dare to refute, and responded stammeringly.

Cao Miao waved and asked someone to take the twenty pieces of Shu brocade and put them in front of Cao Zhi. "Put these away and make some clothes for your mother. If you can stay in the capital, your mother will need to interact with noble people frequently in the future. Few good clothes will be too expensive."

Cao Zhi stumbled and said, "Father... doesn't like these."

"I know he doesn't like it, and I don't like it either, but the one in the palace likes it. You act too frugal, what would he think?"

Cao Zhi said "Oh" and nodded. Cao Rui learned from Emperor Wu everywhere, unlike Emperor Wen, but he was very similar to Emperor Wen, who was greedy for enjoyment and was fond of extravagant things. Cao Zhi was completely the same as Emperor Wu. Except for being greedy for glass of wine, he didn't pay much attention to food and clothing, was very casual, and even a little ignorant. His life was so difficult in the past few years, so he didn't care much.

"In addition, after you recover from your injury, find a way to get along with the Zhen family's children. It is best to marry a daughter of the Zhen family."

Cao Zhi was puzzled. "Brother hasn't gotten married yet..."

Cao Miao raised his hand and patted him. "You can do whatever I say. Where do you get so many problems?"

"Oh." Cao Zhi touched his head and smirked.

"Is your father in the mansion? I'll discuss something with him. Sun Yong was arrested. This is for us, so we can't ignore it."

When Cao Zhi heard that Sun Yong was arrested, he was also very anxious. "My father was not in the mansion and was summoned to the palace early in the morning. It seemed that there was something urgent. Brother, Sun's mansion has helped us, so we must save him."

"Of course you need to save it, but how to save it is very particular." Cao Miao pondered: "Maybe someone will wait for us to rescue so that we can pull us in and catch us all in one go. Yun Gong, today I went to rob Zhong Tai. There is a big article behind this rumor, so we must be careful."

"What kind of big article?"

Cao Miao told him about the contact with Zhong Tai. He did not expect Cao Zhi to come up with any ideas for him. He could only discuss this matter with Cao Zhi, but he hoped that Cao Zhi would understand a little and not believe what was said in the book all day long. Politics is very dark, and the teachings of saints are far from enough.

After hearing this, Cao Zhi's face turned pale. He looked at the brocades in front of him, and he wanted to speak but stopped several times.

"What are you doing? Want me to return it?" Cao Miao saw through Cao Zhi's thoughts at a glance. This younger brother looks very much like his father Cao Zhi, very naive, and he is stupid in his study. "He spreads rumors and falsely accuses his father, and he doesn't have to pay the price? His sister is Guan Jun's wife, and he has joint and several liability. When I kill Guan Jun, she becomes an official slave and you won't have to pay back any debts. If you feel sorry for it, bring it back to serve you, it will hurt slowly."
