Chapter 632 Death is coming! (4200)(1/2)
"What you have to say makes sense, and you really can't be reckless in this matter."
After listening to Wu Liang's words, Cao Ang immediately figured out the connection, nodded and said, "You two wait here for a moment. I will go and explain this matter to my father. It is most appropriate for him to negotiate with Emperor Xian."
After saying that, he gave some instructions to the soldiers who came to report, and ordered them to lead people to keep an eye on Queen Fu and the Yulin guards, and at the same time keep an eye on the iron box in the Queen's room, and then quickly went to find Boss Cao.
Wu Liang and Cao Ang followed the soldier to the courtyard where Queen Fu and others were, chatting wordlessly while waiting for news about Cao Ang and Boss Cao.
It was also at this time that Wu Liang met this legendary queen for the first time.
Queen Fu should be a year or two older than Emperor Xian, and she is also half a head taller than Emperor Xian. This is understandable. Girls of this age naturally develop earlier than boys, and junior high school students in later generations will have
Many girls are taller than boys, but the situation reverses when they reach high school.
In terms of appearance.
I can't say how beautiful it is, but it definitely can't be equated with ugly. It's usually slightly higher.
She has a good temperament, and looks quite noble and elegant in every gesture. She must have received a good etiquette education, which is reasonable. After all, the Fu family has had people who have been ranked among the three nobles since the Western Han Dynasty. When her father
That generation was still a high-ranking nobleman who was qualified to marry the emperor's eldest daughter, so they had a lot of background.
"You are a talented and wise brother, but I am not saying that he is not as good as the white girl you picked up in the woods..."
Cao Zhen, a guy who loves to play tricks, only glanced at Queen Fu a few times, then lowered his voice and whispered in Wu Liang's ear with a smile.
"Brother Anmin, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."
Wu Liang thought so too, but he just thought about it in his mind and would never say such words out loud.
"What are you afraid of? Is there anything else that you and I can't say?"
Cao Chen said disapprovingly.
"Of course we can say it in private, but if my father-in-law hears this, I'm afraid he will have to teach you a lesson, and if an outsider hears it, it might even cause some trouble for you."
Wu Liang seemed solemn, but in the end he suddenly winked and laughed with Cao Chen, "But Brother Anmin's aesthetics is still normal. She is indeed not as good as my Jingjing, and even compared to the little beauties in my family.
.”
"I thought you had changed your mind. You said we knew everything. How could you pretend to be serious in front of me... But then again, what exactly was in the iron box that made them insist so much? Shouldn't it be right?
Will it be related to the secrets of the royal family?"
Cao Zhen hit Wu Liang on the chest and said curiously.
"How do I know this? I don't know how to see through walls. I'd better wait until Brother Zixiu comes back with the edict to unpack it and look at it."
Wu Liang shook his head, pretending not to know.
While the two were talking.
"..."
Empress Fu seemed to sense that the two of them were talking about her, and suddenly raised her head and took a deep look at them, just in time to meet Wu Liang and Cao Chun's eyes.
"She's looking at us."
Cao Zhen subconsciously looked away and whispered to Wu Liang.
"What are you afraid of?"
However, Wu Liang looked at Empress Fu very generously, completely unaware of embarrassment, and kept looking at each other until Empress Fu felt a little embarrassed and silently looked away.
"As expected of a talented and virtuous brother, he is indeed very thick-skinned. However, no matter how bad she is, she is still a queen. It is rude for you to look at her like this. It is even more rude than me talking behind your back."
Upon seeing this, Cao Chen said with some admiration and some unwillingness to admit defeat.
"I call it repaying him with kindness. Everyone is wearing clothes properly and there is nothing shameful about them. Should I allow her to look at me but not her?"
Wu Liang argued with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. Even your military adviser can praise you for your sharp tongue. How can I be your opponent? Everything you say is right, right?"
Cao Zhen surrendered immediately, but suddenly asked another question, "Do you think that if my uncle goes to meet Emperor Xian this time, and Emperor Xian refuses to hand over this iron box to us for counting, will this matter just
It’s okay to let it go, after all, Emperor Xian is Jun’s uncle and minister, if Emperor Xian insists on refusing, I’m afraid he can’t force Emperor Xian to do so, right?”
"..."
Wu Liang was slightly stunned. This was indeed a problem.
Boss Cao has an important political purpose in coming to King Qin this time, and no matter what is contained in this iron box, it has nothing to do with Boss Cao's political goals. On the contrary, if Emperor Xian refuses to compromise, Boss Cao still insists on opening the box, which will also cause harm to Boss Cao.
Boss Cao’s political goals have had a negative impact.
So will Boss Cao let this "little thing" affect his political goals?
Of course not.
In other words, as long as Emperor Xian insists on disagreeing, the box will definitely not be opened today, and Wu Liang can only find other opportunities to find out more.
But in this case, Wu Liang had to think about what Emperor Xian was hiding.
Are the three treasures passed down from generation to generation still properly preserved?
And besides the three inherited treasures, is there anything else more important to Emperor Xian in the iron box...
Just when Wu Liang was thinking this.
A familiar sound of footsteps could be heard behind them. Wu Liang and Cao Zhen looked back and saw that the person who came was indeed Cao Ang who had left and returned.
Quickly coming to the two of them, Cao Ang also lowered his voice and said: "It's better not to open this iron box in a hurry. Just now I reported this matter to my father. Instead of taking me to ask for orders from Emperor Xian, my father instead took me to ask for orders from Emperor Xian.
He taught me a lesson, and I suddenly became enlightened after listening to it.”
After saying that, Cao Ang took Wu Liang aside alone and said in a lower voice: "You are talented. My father also taught me to tell you, don't be impatient. After Emperor Xian returns to Chenliu with us, everything will be fine."
Once it stabilizes, he will have many ways to teach you to witness the Han Dynasty's heirloom treasures with your own eyes. The cooked duck will never fly away again, so there is no rush for this moment."
"Everything should be done with the public's first priority."
Wu Liang nodded in response.
How did Boss Cao teach Cao Ang? Cao Ang was very vague.
But it’s nothing more than a matter of interest.
Wu Liang thought for a while and quickly figured out the connection:
From Boss Cao's point of view, it is indeed wiser not to ask Emperor Xian for orders at all. After all, no matter what is contained in this iron box, it will not directly affect his political goals. There is really no need to be too obsessed with it.
Even if you just bear the risk of losing face by being rejected by Emperor Xian, it is not worth it.
It's just that the butt determines the head.
Wu Liang had previously considered this matter from his own standpoint, so he slightly ignored Boss Cao's standpoint.
Fortunately, Wu Liang stopped Cao Ang just now and advised him to ask Boss Cao for instructions first. In addition, he did not explicitly insist on opening the iron box. He just expressed that he wanted to see the treasures passed down from generation to generation in the Han Dynasty. This matter had nothing to do with him.
The direct relationship will not cause dissatisfaction to Boss Cao.
So far.
Naturally, this matter can only be dropped temporarily.
And in view of the experience of being harassed by that weird head a few nights ago, what Wu Liang has to do is to be careful to guard against Lu Bu. Although he is not sure that the head in Lu Bu's hand is Wang Mang's head, he can be sure that he almost broke into it that night.
The head that was put into his account must have been Lu Bu's handiwork.
…
It's night.
The Hu people's army also temporarily stayed in Anyi City.
As for the army accompanying Boss Cao, because Anyi City is a small city, there is really no way to place too many people. Therefore, Boss Cao only brought two thousand elites into the city. Half of the elites were stationed at the city gate, and the other half were stationed with him in the mansion.
The people around the yamen guarded Emperor Xian, while the rest of the army could only stay and camp outside the city.
This was enough for Emperor Xian's Yu Lin guards, who had only a few dozen people left, not to mention that for the sake of safety, Boss Cao had already expelled the troops from other forces out of Anyi City in advance.
Therefore, in Wu Liang's opinion, this must have been a very peaceful night.
What they have to do is to have a good sleep, and they can return to Chenliu with Boss Cao's "King Qin" army early tomorrow morning.
Boss Cao probably thinks so too.
Because Wu Liang saw that it was just past Xu o'clock (7 p.m.) in his tent, he had already turned off the lights and went to bed early.
As a result, I slept until midnight.
Not sure what time it was, Wu Liang was suddenly awakened by a burst of noisy movement.
"What's going on?"
Wu Liang got up and looked around the tent, but did not see Dian Wei on the other simple bed.
Following Boss Cao these days, he taught Bai Jingjing and Zhen Mi to sleep in the carriage, and also taught Yang Wanli not to allow any outsiders to approach, while he himself slept in the same tent as Dian Wei.
At this moment, the tent curtain was suddenly opened.
Dian Wei walked in quickly carrying the pair of hand halberds, with an expression on his face as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "Sir, I'm afraid something has happened in the city. A group of men and horses are charging towards this side. It's still safe for the time being."
I don’t know whose soldiers and horses it is!”
