I saw that he was getting closer and closer. It didn't seem like he had gone in the wrong direction. I couldn't help but panic. I turned around and looked around, intending to follow the example of an ostrich and find a place where there was no one to hide. Ah, great! Isn't that the guest room? It had been a few years since anyone had lived here. He had to go in and lay low!
Just as I turned around, Mister Guo grabbed me from behind.
"Second Miss, I don't want to see General Cao. Please help me stop him for a while.”
As he spoke, he pushed me forward. I stumbled and suddenly felt a light above my head. I had been pushed out of the dark by him, and my entire body was exposed to the bright moonlight.
Cao Cao didn't expect me to come out by myself. He was shocked and said,""Second Miss, so it's you. Why didn't you rest late at night? I thought he was a spy, so I came to take a look.”
I laughed dryly and said,"General Cao."”What did Mister Guo mean? I secretly turned my head to take a look. He had already disappeared. When I took a closer look, the door of the guest room didn't seem to be closed tightly. It was still swaying slightly in the wind. Could it be that someone was peeping inside? I secretly cursed Guo Gongzi in my heart…How disloyal. I was just a little mesmerized by his beauty.
"General Cao, I heard a commotion outside tonight, so I came out to take a look."”
"Oh, nothing." He looked at me deeply." It's just some trivial matters in the court. Not only did we disturb Lord Qiao in the middle of the night, but we also alerted the second miss. It's really our negligence."”
Trivial matters? I'm afraid not? However, I wasn't interested in talking to him. Since he wanted to find a reason to dismiss me, I could go down the mountain and settle the score with that Guo fellow.
"General Cao, since it's a misunderstanding, I'll go back to my room first."”He hastily bowed and wanted to slip away.
Cao Cao called out from behind,"Second Young Lady, please wait."”
I took a step back and turned around."General Cao, what can I do for you?"
Cao Cao hesitated." Second Young Lady, there might be some chaos in the court these few days. If there are any changes, please…Furen…be careful."”
I rolled my eyes and thought that this person still had some conscience, so I said,"General, don't worry. I will take care of it. On the other hand, the general had to remember the words 'eliminate all evil' and be careful not to leave behind endless trouble.”
Cao Cao sucked in a breath of cold air and stared at me for a long time before finally saying,"Second Miss, what do you know? Who…who told you that?"
It was Young Master Guo. But of course I won't tell Cao Cao. Just now, when Young Master Guo saw Cao Cao, he slipped away and even pushed me out to be a scapegoat. This has never happened before. I wonder what grudge the two of them have. Although Young Master Guo played me for a while, he is still one of us. I am a magnanimous person, so I will not hold it against him.
I said,"If a scholar doesn't go out, he can know the world." I might know what General Cao knows.”
Cao Cao was shocked speechless.
I almost laughed out loud. So it was not difficult to pretend to be an expert? He could only say half a sentence to show that he was telling the whole story. His expression could not be too vivid. Haha, then he would be fooled. He had learned this from Young Master Guo. Although he was a true expert and he was a half-baked loser…
I tried my best to control the gradually distorted expression on my face."General Cao, it's getting late. We can't delay the important matter that Great General He has given us.”
He looked at me with a look of surprise in his eyes. After a while, he said,"Second Miss, Mrs. Qiao…"
I secretly sighed. I knew it was impossible, so why bother?
"I know what you mean, General."
Cao Cao looked up at the sky and saw that the moon was already in the west. He finally gritted his teeth and turned around to leave.
I stuck out my tongue and was just about to settle the score with Young Master Guo when he opened the door of the guest room and walked out. He smiled lightly and said,"Looking at Young Lady's posture, she is indeed a scholar of the country. It is really a waste to be a woman.”
How dare you mock me? Tired of living! I still have a score to settle with you!
"Guo gongzi, tell me honestly, what's your relationship with Cao Cao?" Why did she hide the moment she saw him? Did she commit crimes in the past and leave something in his hands?”
"How could that be?" he chuckled. Do I look like that kind of person to you?"
"It's hard to say. Didn't you just push me out to be a scapegoat?"”As I spoke, I didn't forget to glare at him fiercely to show my extreme dissatisfaction.
He glanced at me with a half-smile that was actually very charming. He said,"What is Second Miss afraid of? You're not a spy of the Ten Attendants of the Eternal. When he sees you, he'll at most chase you back to sleep. He can't do anything to you.”
"Of course I'm not afraid."”Seeing that he seemed to be laughing secretly, I immediately came back to my senses. I grabbed the hem of his clothes and forced him to ask,"Don't change the topic. Tell me the truth!”
"What do you want me to say?" he asked, spreading his hands. I've never met General Cao before. I have no grudges with him in the past, and I don't have any grudges with him recently. Even if I wanted to explain, I couldn't.”
"Don't try to lie to me. If there's no grudge, why would you avoid me? You are not a spy for the Ten Attendants of the Everlasting Peace." As I said this, I suddenly thought,"Are you one of the Shi Changshi?"”Heavens, no way?
"What are you thinking?" Guo Gongzi shook his head.”
Hmph, who asked you to be so dishonest and keep me in suspense. I rolled my eyes at him for free.
Seeing me like this, he laughed again and finally said,"Alright, alright, alright. I won't bully you anymore."
I was satisfied.”
He gently flicked his sleeves and said indifferently,""It's not that I don't dare to see General Cao, but I can't. General Cao is a hero of the world. I have been observing him for many days. I feel that he is an ambitious man who can pacify the world. I am ready to join him.”
"Are you preparing to leave the Qiao Mansion?"”For some reason, he was actually very disappointed, and his heart instantly sank.
When he saw the corners of my mouth drooping and the desolate expression on my face, he smiled happily. Even his eyes curved as he said,"I'm not going now. Now is not the time, so I can't see him.”
I immediately felt relieved, but then I was a little confused. I asked,"Since you want to rely on him, why don't you see him?”
"Second Miss, a good minister chooses a master to serve. Not only does he have to choose this person, but he also has to choose the time to appear. Only at the most crucial moment would they appear as important ministers of Dingding.”His gaze fell on the railing under the moonlight, and he was a little dazed." If I want to do it, I will be the head of the central army tent. How can I be depressed and submit to others?”
At this moment, he looked like he was full of pride, completely breaking away from his usual gentle and indifferent appearance. I suddenly felt that he was very far away from me. His ambition was to dominate the world. In fact, I should have known long ago. How could a talented youth like him be willing to stay in a corner and teach little girls to read the Legend of the Martyr every day?
Sigh, I sighed softly and asked,"But, didn't you say that your ambition was to follow the example of your ancestors and follow Legalism? In such a chaotic world, if you want to do it, I'm afraid…"
"If you want to implement political views, you must first pacify the world. I understand this principle.”He lowered his head and looked at me." Second Miss, you don't think that I only know the Four Books and Five Classics and the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, but not the art of war, do you? I knew that there would be a day of chaos in this world, so why didn't I make preparations?”
" But…" But I'm not worried that you don't know how to march and fight. It's just that with your body, how can you follow the army out? Overconfident…
He looked at me silently and suddenly said,"It's already very late. Second Miss, you should go back and rest. Tomorrow…Tomorrow, there might be a huge change in the capital.”
He was looking in a certain direction, and I followed his gaze. That was the direction of the Imperial Palace. The sky in front of me was already filled with bright red flames, dancing in the distance.
I couldn't help but be shocked, but Mister Guo smiled without a care."Go to sleep. After daybreak, the situation will be different.”
"Alright then." I replied and slowly walked towards the room.
After taking a few steps, I suddenly thought of something very important and turned around. Why didn't I think of that? Young Master Guo…Cao Cao…I see…I can only feel my heart beating violently.
Young Master Guo was still looking at my back. When he saw me turn around, he turned his head awkwardly and asked,"What's wrong?"
I took a deep breath and began to calm my violent heartbeat. After a while, I said,"Young Master Guo, I never knew your name.”
"Me?" He raised his delicate eyebrows in surprise." My name is Guo Jia, also known as Fengxiao. I'm from Yangzhai, Yingchuan. Second Young Lady actually doesn't know?"
I closed my eyes slightly. As expected. I'm so stupid.
