Views:

After being yelled at by Cao Ruishen, Mrs. Cao's eyes turned red. She looked at Cao Ruishen with her eyes open, pursed her lips and stood there blankly for a while, then she walked out sobbing.

Cao Ruishen had a headache. Seeing that she was really going to leave, he took a few steps forward and grabbed her: "What on earth are you going to do!?"

Mrs. Cao felt aggrieved.

She has been with Cao Ruishen for so many years, and they have been married for many years. She has always obeyed Cao Ruishen in everything, even if Cao Ruishen wanted to kill her, she did not say a word. Cao Ruishen even asked her to go to her cousin to get information, and she went. But even though she did this for Cao Ruishen, Cao Ruishen did not appreciate her feelings at all.

What is she going to do

She just wanted Cao Ruishen to accompany her for one night, as they would set out to transport grain tomorrow!

She was crying out of grievance, but Cao Ruishen just felt a little annoyed when he saw it - after all, Mrs. Cao was old. If a young girl made such a coquettish expression, she would naturally be cute and pitiful, but when Mrs. Cao acted like this at her age, he, as a normal man, would only feel annoyed.

Therefore, the annoyance in Lord Cao's eyes became more obvious. He let go of Madam Cao's arm and lowered his voice: "Stop fooling around! I have to go to work tomorrow and don't have time to fool around with you! You stay at home and wait until I finish this matter. Then you can sit back and enjoy wealth and glory in the future. Even your cousin can't compare to you!"

Wealth and glory

Mrs. Cao pondered these words and looked at Cao Ruishen. He was still standing straight and looking energetic, but there was no longer the love and affection he had for her when they were young in his eyes.

So, what’s the use of wealth and glory

She lowered her eyes, said nothing more, and went back to her room.

Cao Ruishen thought about it, and finally suppressed his impatience and chased after her. He finally slept in Mrs. Cao's room that night.

The next morning, Mrs. Cao sat up with a flushed face and looked at Cao Ruishen with a smile: "My husband, I hope you will return triumphantly soon."

So many years have passed, and I don’t know why Mrs. Cao is always so clingy.

Cao Ruishen felt both annoyed and somewhat amused.

No matter how angry Mrs. Cao was, as long as he slept in her room for one night, she would forget about the big deal.

Sometimes, thinking about marrying a wife like this, he felt a sense of accomplishment. Sometimes, Lord Cao would also think that if one day he wanted to kill the entire Cao family, he wondered if Mrs. Cao would be willing to hand him the knife.

His eyebrows suddenly jumped, and Cao Ruishen coughed: "I know, you should sleep a little longer."

When Mrs. Cao heard this, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes smiled and she responded sweetly.

Cao Ruishen came out expressionlessly, stood on the steps for a while, did not look back, and left without hesitation.

He went to say goodbye to Lord Liao first.

The two are both superiors and subordinates, and also brothers-in-law, so their relationship is naturally close.

Lord Liao got down from his seat, rubbed his brows, and supported Cao Ruishen, staring at him with deep eyes: "Ruishen, transporting food and grass is the top priority in our province now. It has been robbed twice. You must not make any mistakes this time. Do you understand?"

Cao Ruishen looked up at him and saw that his face was pale and his eyes were very solemn. He knew that what Mrs. Cao said when she went back home last night was true.

Liao Jingxu really has no other choice here.

He also sighed, his face full of sincerity and honesty: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I know, the food is here, and as long as I'm alive, I won't let anything go wrong with the food!"

Liao Jingxu finally looked relieved and held his hand for a while: "Okay, let's go, I'll wait for you to come back!"

Cao Ruishen nodded heavily, turned around and strode away. The guards at the door were already waiting. He jumped on his horse, went to the camp to check the soldiers, and then slowly led the soldiers out of the city.

The long convoy left the city gate. Cao Ruishen looked back at the word Kunming on the city gate with an expressionless face. He waved to several people under his command, and they immediately understood. After walking for a while, they silently left the team and disappeared.

After walking for seven or eight days, Cao Ruishen was almost at Yao'an Prefecture. He camped outside Yao'an County, washed his face, and summoned his advisers to discuss matters.

The counselors soon arrived and sat around the campfire outside the tent, everyone with a relaxed smile on their face.

Cao Ruishen was the same. Seeing that everyone was smiling, he was also in a very good mood. He smiled and said, "Thanks to your advice, the mission was able to go so smoothly. I am here to toast you all."

The counselors all laughed, and the talkative middle-aged scholar was the first to speak: "Master Cao, you are too early. I'm afraid the real show has just begun. It's a pity that we can't see it with our own eyes."

The journey was very smooth without any accidents. Even though they were cautious, they couldn't help but feel a little relaxed at this time.

People are often the most relaxed and complacent when they are relaxed. Cao Ruishen raised his eyebrows: "Yeah, I don't know what the city is like now, alas."

He sighed.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and then someone remembered that Cao Ruishen's wife was still in the city, so they hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, sir. The people of Mutong know where your mansion is, and they will not hurt your wife by mistake."

Cao Ruishen narrowed his eyes. In fact, he was not worried about Mrs. Cao's life or death. In fact, he hoped that when Mu Tong's men surrounded the city, they would massacre the entire city in anger and kill his wife as well.

Anyway, he has sent his son back to his hometown to be taken care of by his family.

The death of a wife is really no big deal.

Her usefulness had ended anyway.

Somehow, after saying this, the atmosphere became even worse. Everyone realized something, and someone immediately changed the subject skillfully: "Speaking of which, Lord Liao and his men would never have dreamed that the news of the loss of 3,000 soldiers in the city and the death of Prince Consort Tang would be sent out with our transportation of food and grass out of the city, and they would never have thought that the Cheli Xuanwei Division, which Mu Tong had already conquered, would take the opportunity to attack Kunming!"

Speaking of this, he was still trembling slightly with excitement.

What a great plan!

While Xiao Hengqi was leading his troops in Chuxiong Prefecture, preparing to attack Dali, Tang Yuan was already dead. What could the remaining native soldiers do? !

There was a natural gap between the natives and the Han people, even though Xiao Heng had tried his best to make up for it. He also left Tang Yuan in the city to lead the troops and used both kindness and force on the natives, but what did it matter? The time was too short.
