It is rare for the four of them to feel like they have met friends for a long time.
"What! Are they drinking together?" Ma Yunlu yelled at the top of his voice.
"Be quiet, be quiet." Cao Xiong used his thumb to pick his ears.
The ghost bat reported the situation in Wuzhangyuan to Cao Xiong.
Ma Yunlu, who was on the side, felt incredible when he heard it.
"I know the situation, you go down." Cao Xiong poured tea into the cup.
The ghost bat was speechless, and after silently saluting, it quietly retreated.
Apart from the sound of the door opening and closing, there was no sound of footsteps.
"Cao Xiong, this is too dangerous. We can't let the [-] Han troops hide behind the army's butt."
Cao Xiong grabbed Ma Yunlu who was losing his temper beside him, "Why not?"
"This... is obviously impossible!"
"I left more than 3 troops there to guard the mountain pass, and the two generals Wang Shuang and Deng Zhong guarded it. Our rear has no worries."
"Aren't you afraid that [-] troops will rush out in case of any accident?"
"Are you underestimating the Chang'an Army too, or Wushuang and Deng Zhong?"
Ma Yunlu's big eyes blinked, and he looked at Cao Xiong with puzzled eyes.
Cao Xiong knows Xiliang Army and Jizhou Army well, and he doesn't know much about Chang'an Lord, but his combat effectiveness is definitely no worse than that of the general Han Army.
"I'll leave them there for no other purpose."
"What's the use?"
"Secret."
Cao Xiong blinked slyly, and left Ma Yunlu with a puzzle.
Ma Yunlu froze for a moment.
"Ah!"
Cao Xiong immediately felt numbness in his neck.
"Were you a vampire in your previous life?" Cao Xiong spoke out with difficulty, the pain made him clenched his hands tightly.
But Ma Yunlu tightened Cao Xiong's neck, preventing him from moving.
Dinner is almost over.
Zuo Ci had been in the sanctuary for many days, and after turning around, he came outside Cao Xiong's courtyard wearing a heavy overcoat.
He looked up to the heaven, and pinched his hands to count.
Those who stood outside the courtyard remained motionless.
When the guards beside him saw Zuo Ci, it was as if they hadn't seen him.
The two stood side by side like this.
The soldiers face outside, Zuo Ci faces in.
The two of them couldn't hear anything outside the courtyard.
Until the room where Cao Xiong and Ma Yunlu were located calmed down a bit.
Zuo Ci stood for another half an hour before strolling in.
Chapter 1782 Miss Sun who ran away!
Ma Yunlu took over the offer from Zuo Ci.
The door was closed.
Zuo Ci touched a little dust on his nose.
"Where's Zuo Ci?"
"he's gone."
Ma Yunlu put the meals on the plate one by one on the table.
That strange fragrance still lingers in the room.
Cao Xiong and Ma Yunlu had dinner together and planned to go out for a stroll alone.
The roads in Chencang are old, and there are some weeds on the road.
However, it is also a good feeling to walk on the road in the snow under the moonlight at night.
Although Cao Xiong couldn't see it, he knew that ghost bats were always protecting him.
Not far ahead, a man in a cloak was looking up at the moon.
"Zuo Ci!"
Cao Xiong called him and walked over to him along the way.
Zuo Ci closed his purple eyes, then turned around and saluted Cao Xiong.
"Sir."
"What did you come back from Sanguan in the middle of the night?"
"I miss my son."
"I'm not used to being missed by an old man."
Zuo Ci laughed twice through his dry throat, "Actually looking for the crown prince, there is indeed something to report."
"What's the matter, just tell me."
Cao Xiong straightened his arms and stretched his waist. He hadn't heard anything interesting for a long time.
Uh... Zuo Ci obviously hesitated.
"Is there something unspeakable?"
Zuo Ci waved his hand, and the moon in Cao Xiong's eyes changed.
A new vision appeared before him.
In the field of vision, a familiar person is munching on food in a tavern!
There was also a faint neighing sound from outside.
"This is?"
Cao Xiong clearly recognized that familiar face!
However, judging by the layout of the restaurant and the clothes of the guests, it doesn't look like a place in Jiangdong.
"Sun Shangxiang?"
"Hui Shizi, it is indeed her. However, at this time, Miss Sun is not in Jiangdong."
"Then where is she?"
"In Lujiang."
"Lujiang..." Cao Xiong thought for a long time.
The place name sounds a little familiar.
Isn't this where Zhou Yu chased Sun Ce thousands of miles back then?
"She went to Yangzhou?" Cao Xiong finally remembered.
"Miss Sun went alone." Zuo Ci raised his sleeves, and the vision in the video zoomed out, "And, her goal is not only Yangzhou."
"Oh?" Cao Xiong stroked his chin, "Do you know where her destination is?"
"Chang'an."
Cao Xiong's eyes wandered to Zuo Ci, looking at him unexpectedly.
Sun Shangxiang is coming to Chang'an?What is she doing in Chang'an?
"I heard from my junior sister that she came to Chang'an because of the son."
Cao Xiong raised his head and recalled that he had not heard from Sun Shangxiang for a long time.
Ever since Yingzhou returned and Donglai County was separated, the two haven't seen each other. "
"Miss Sun left alone. However, Sun Quan secretly sent a few followers to follow Xiaomei Sun to protect her."
"Then I can rest assured." Cao Xiong breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Quan's guards are absolutely top notch.
He can probably guess why Sun Shangxiang came to Chang'an.
Firstly, Sun Shangxiang ran away in a fit of anger, and after sleeping, the anger subsided, and he recovered naturally.
Secondly, Sun Shangxiang knew that she would definitely go to Jiangdong to find her. When she knew that she was not in Yecheng but in Chang'an, she would naturally ask why she was there.
"Is this why you came to me?" Cao Xiong was still very grateful for Zuo Ci's news.
At least, he knew that Sun Shangxiang was on his way here on horseback.
"It's just one aspect. I watched the sky at night in Sanguan, and when the army was about to go out, I came back."
"That's right, the army took a short rest for a few days, and three days later, they took advantage of the situation to seize Tianshui!"
Today, Cao Xiong just received news from Jieting.
Chapter 1783
The Chang'an army led by Cao Zhen and Zhang Yun had captured Jieting and was preparing to go south to Tianshui.
Cao Jun marched in two directions, Zhuge Liang was alone in Tianshui, and Tianshui would be lost in time.
Now, the danger of Chang'an has been lifted.
Although the battle in Chen Cang was a bit more complicated than Cao Xiong thought.
However, Chen Cang was taken down without any risk.
Cao Xiong rubbed his stubbled chin.
Everything is going according to his plan.
If his estimation is correct, Zhuge Liang's army will withdraw from the south of Qishan Road in about a month or so.
By the time......
Cao Xiong smiled sinisterly.
The task he assigned to Wei Yan, Wei Yan is almost there!
"Sir?"
Zuo Ci looked at Cao Xiong's smile and felt a little strange.
"Oh~ I'm fine." Cao Xiong walked past him.
"Dinner is done well, I'll continue to go for a stroll."
Cao Xiong stepped on the remnant snow and walked along the wide road.
There was light snow in the sky, and the moon was hidden behind dark clouds.
Cao Xiong walked around the city road.
Back to the house where I live.
