Sima Yi finished the trivial matters of Yecheng in a very short time. Fu Ruoxin also helped Sima Yi settle Zhang Chunhua and solved a difficult problem in his heart. Now Sima Yi can finally devote himself to the battle for Hanzhong.

He sat in the study and wrote something on the bamboo slips. Fu Ruoxin, who was carrying the medicine, walked in. In order not to disturb Sima Yi's work, she deliberately pressed her pace very low, making almost no sound.

When she walked to Sima Yi and gently put down the case where the medicine was filled, she unexpectedly saw what Sima Yi wrote on the bamboo slip, and a trace of sorrow appeared on her face.

Because the letter Sima Yi wrote at this time was submitted to Cao Cao who had arrived in Chang'an. The letter mentioned that his health had recovered and would set off to Chang'an soon to listen to it.

However, in Fu Ruoxin's view, Sima Yi's current physical and mental trauma has not yet recovered as usual. Now, he has to travel a long distance to Chang'an and be involved in the war of sword light and blood. Thinking of this, her heart seems to be lifted up again.

Sima Yi saw Fu Ruoxin's thoughts, he put down his pen and gently held Fu Ruoxin's hands to comfort him and said:

"I just went to give advice, not to go to the front line to fight, you don't have to worry."

"But..."

Although Sima Yi deliberately pretended to smile indifferently in order not to make Fu Ruoxin worry, Fu Ruoxin understood that it was the most uncomfortable to endure the pain that had not yet been healed. She tried to persuade Sima Yi not to go to Chang'an:

"Is it really necessary not to go?"

Seeing that she was about to cry, Sima Yi pulled Fu Ruoxin into his arms and patted her shoulder and said:

"I strongly proposed the strategy of the Western Expedition at that time. Although Cao's army severely damaged Liu Bei in the Battle of the Lower Dispute, this victory was phased and did not mean that Hanzhong was completely foolproof. If Hanzhong was lost, then what I have worked hard to plan until now will be ruined. Do you understand?"

After saying that, he reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of Fu Ruoxin's eyes:

"It's getting late, should we rest?"

Fu Ruoxin thought she had heard it wrong, so she turned her side face away from Sima Yi's chest and looked at Sima Yi with extremely surprised eyes: "Husband...you..."

Sima Yi looked at her with tenderness and guilt, and reached out to her cheek:

"The reason I married you was to save your life. Since marrying me, you must have suffered a lot of grievances. Chunhua has troubled you. If you are willing, from today on, you will no longer be a couple in name but a real couple."

This sentence has been waiting for Fu Ruoxin for too long. The tears that had just been wiped out by Sima Yi once again overflowed from his eyes. Sima Yi wiped the tears with the back of his hands with pity:

"Silly girl, why are you crying? I'll ask you for more advice in the future..."

Just as the warmth between the two continued to heat up, Sima Shi took Sima Zhao quietly outside the door, breaking the atmosphere, causing Sima Yi and Fu Ruoxin to be embarrassed again, especially Fu Ruoxin was so shy that he quickly turned his face.

The two were amused and laughed in the face of this scene. Sima Yi deliberately coughed twice and said to Sima Shi:

"I asked you to learn swordsmanship from Cheng Wu, why did you learn this bad habit of him?"

After looking at each other for a while, Sima Shi and Sima Shi looked at each other, they raised their hands like adults and said to Sima Yi:

"Dare you ask my father, where is my mother now?"

This question made Sima Yi unable to help but look stern:

"You shouldn't ask about this."

When saying this, Sima Yi's expression looked very strict, but Sima Zhao, who was only seven years old, did not retreat because of this, and also learned that adults had introduced Confucianism:

"Filial piety is the first priority for all virtues. Now that my mother is not at home, I dare to ask my father, shouldn't a child ask the reason?"

"you..."

Just when Sima Yi was about to get angry and scold Sima Zhao, Fu Ruoxin stopped him in time and said to Sima Zhao:

"Do you remember living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhen Mi and Zhang Ning? Recently, your mother has not been to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time. They missed her and picked her up for a while."

Seeing that Sima Zhao had no words to deal with, Sima Yi said coldly:

"Mr. Zhaoer, do you have any other problems?"

After looking at each other again, the two brothers couldn't help but start to pursed their lips, as if this was very difficult to speak of. Sima Yi suddenly slapped the table: "If you have something to say, don't hesitate."

After hesitating for a while, Sima Shi bowed and said to Sima Yi:

"Qi Bing Father, Brother Zhao and I learned that my father was about to go to the battlefield in Hanzhong, so we hope to go with us."

After hearing this, Sima Yi raised his eyebrows and looked back and forth between the brothers:

"I've grown up with my ability, right? I told you before that there are only two types of people who can be used on and off the battlefield. Do you still remember it?"

Sima Zhao answered without hesitation:

"Remember! One is a warrior who charges and stalwarts, and the other is a strategist who plans to plan."

After hearing his answer, Sima Yi nodded and said:

"Well, I remember it very clearly. Since that's the case, then I ask you, if you go to the battlefield, which of these two can you serve?"

This sentence made the two originally confident young boys fall into deep thought and find it difficult to answer for a long time.

At this time, Sima Yi asked Sima Shi and Sima Zhao again and said:

"I ask you again, if one day you are captured by someone and you are controlled by the enemy and you cannot save you from your own difficulties, and the enemy threatens you as fathers, how should you deal with yourself as my son of Sima Yi and the Sima family?"

Sima Shi opened his mouth and said:

"If you die, you will cut off your enemy's thoughts. As a Sima family, people must not drag down their father. As long as the child dies, the enemy will never have any pawns to threaten his father."

Although Sima Yi did not object to this answer, he was not satisfied. At this time, he set his eyes on Sima Zhao who was standing aside and silently: "What are you talking about?"

After thinking for a while, Sima Zhao replied:

"The child thinks that he should use his father to die and not save him, and he should confuse and paralyze the enemy by illegitimate family affection, and pretend to surrender to the enemy to secretly investigate the situation for his father and find out the information of the enemy."

This answer made Sima Yi sit there for a long time. He also did not make any comments on Sima Zhao's idea, but it was obvious from his eyes that he admired Sima Zhao's idea even more...

Sima Yi and Fu Ruoxin couldn't help laughing when they saw them like this. He began to slow down his tone and became gentle: "Look... Is this good? Why don't you go back and think about what you can do first, and then talk to your father?"

After hearing this, Sima Zhao clearly realized that this was Sima Yi's perfunctory statement. When he was about to come forward to argue, his brother Sima Shi stepped on his feet, and he was forced to put away his temperament.

"Father, aunt, you rest sooner and the child will leave."

After saying that, Sima Shi took Sima Zhao's hand and ran out of the study quickly.

Seeing the two children so lively and cute, and at such a young age, Fu Ruoxin couldn't help but sigh:

"Shi'er has a strong personality, is serious and well-organized. He is less than ten years old and has a good martial arts. He heard that last time he had an argument with General Cao Zhen's eldest son Cao Shuang and others in the school, he actually knocked back seven or eight young men older than him with bare hands. In the future, he will definitely be a general who will fight in all directions."

"I just worry about the character of the teacher. He always controls me well, but when I meet outsiders, I will not give in. I have a strong personality. I am worried that he will not know how to restrain himself in the future, which will lead to a disaster."

In fact, Sima Yi knew his two sons very well. On the surface, Sima Shi was able to surpass his younger brother Sima Zhao in all respects. However, it was after the previous martial arts fight in the school that he had a new understanding of Sima Zhao:

"Last time Shi'er beat Cao Shuang and other princes of Cao's nobles, they did not give up, but gathered more people to block Shi'er and Zhao'er in the hall. You didn't believe it, and they finally walked out of the school without any damage."

After hearing Sima Yi's words, Fu Ruoxin was very surprised:

"Oh? How did they do it?"

Sima Yi recalled: "After Cao Shuang and others suffered a loss, Zhao'er told me when she came back that Cao Shuang would definitely think about revenge. I asked him what to do if he was, and this kid kept me insincerely. Later, the next day, Cao Shuang indeed surrounded Shi'er and Zhao'er. Zhao'er told them the reason before they started. In fact, he secretly gave Chen Tai a secret wink and asked him to inform the teacher. When Cao Shuang and others couldn't listen and wanted to take action, the teacher had arrived. As a result, when Cao Shuang and others gathered together, they scolded them fiercely."

"Haha, I really didn't expect that Zhaoer can use the tactics of delaying time and seeking help to rescue her, she is really worthy of being her husband's son."

After saying that, Fu Ruoxin couldn't help laughing.

Sima Yi also faintly felt that the unknown possibility in Sima Zhao would be far beyond his expectations, and he was also very excited: "I really don't know what these two kids will become in the future. I hope they don't go astray..."

After answering that Sima Zhao tossed and turned on the bed, and even Sima Master couldn't fall asleep. He couldn't help but lift the sheet and complained to Sima Zhao:

"I said, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night?"

Sima Zhao, holding his head in both hands, suddenly sat up and blinked his big eyes at Sima Shi:

"Brother, don't you realize that my father doesn't mean to take us away?"

When Sima Zhao heard what he was talking about, Sima rolled his eyes and fell down:

"I think you're going to say...so what? What else can we do since my father has already spoken?"

But Sima Zhao had no intention of stopping. He shook Sima Shi's thighs hard and said:

"Oh, brother, can't my father go there without us?"

Sima Zhao's words made Sima Shi suddenly nervous. He sat up and looked at Sima Shi with a vigilant face:

"What do you want..."

The next day, Sima Yi made all the preparations and got into the carriage driven by Cheng Wu. Because the heart-suffering pain caused by the worms in his body was even more serious than before, he could not drive a horse for a short time and could only ride a car.

Under the sight of Fu Ruoxin and his brothers, the carriage turned west...

Since Sima Yi was the only one sitting in the car, the seat opposite him was empty there.

Sima Yi sat in the bumpy carriage holding the battle report sent by Zhong Yu from Hanzhong. Suddenly, he rolled up the bamboo slips with the battle report in his hand and knocked on the seat opposite him:

"Have you two avoided enough? Are you not afraid of being suffocated to death?"

Soon the panel of the seat was suddenly pushed away, and Sima Shi and Sima Zhao poked their heads out and kept breathing. In order to get on the carriage without Sima Yi's awareness, under Sima Zhao's instigation, the two brothers Shi Liang sneaked into the carriage and hid.

Seeing that the two brothers were so stuffy, Sima Yi couldn't help laughing:

"Fortunately, you are lucky. The cover is not very tight and can make you breathable. If I were sitting in your position, you would have been suffocated to death."

After saying that, Sima Yi reached out and pulled the two brothers out. Sima Zhao patted the dust on his body and retorted:

"My father wouldn't sit on the left side of the carriage, so we won't be in danger."

"Oh?" Sima Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Sima Zhao explained: "The child once noticed that whether the father met guests at home or went out by car, he sat on the right, so the child believed that this was his father's habit for many years."

I have to say that Sima Zhao's observation ability is very sharp, and his bold behavior of killing first and then making a report actually changed Sima Yi's original intention: "Don't run around after you arrive in Chang'an, just stay honestly for me."

Originally, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were both worried that Sima Yi would scold him for this and even drove them back to Yecheng. However, when he heard that his father had already acquiesced to this matter, the two brothers cheered together:
Chapter completed!
