I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

Cao Xiong immediately drew five black lines on his head, and quickly winked at him.

Sun Deng took a look into the room, and found that Sun Shangxiang was sitting upright on the couch.

"I'm drunk." Sun Deng hiccupped in a daze, "Bye bye brother Xiong..."

"Sun Deng~~~" Sun Shangxiang from the room said quietly, "Come in and talk."

Sun Deng was disappointed and went to Sun Shangxiang to make an apology.

Cao Xiong was also scolded.

In the evening, Cao Xiong and Sun Shangxiang rushed back to Jiankang City together.

Before night fell, the two went to Lu Su's mansion to meet Lu Su.

"Uncle Lu, how is the matter in the front hall?" Cao Xiong asked Lu Su.

"Young Master Xiong?" Lu Su was very surprised when he saw Cao Xiong, "Why are you still in the city?"

Chapter 1525 Zhou Fang Forbearance

"I went to Nanshan a few days ago and was not in the city. After hearing about Zhou Fang, I hurried back." Cao Xiong said.

"Zhou Fang is thinking of a way to catch you!" Lu Su said, "Quick, I'll send someone to escort you out of the city, and you can return to Qingzhou."

"Uncle is so anxious, could it be that Marquis Wu agreed to Zhou Fang's plan?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Lu Su strangely.

"No, I'm still the governor of Soochow now, so I'll take care of this matter for my lord temporarily." Lu Su said, "However, I suspect that someone will be against you, so it's best if you go away." .”

"Is that Zhou Fang?" Cao Xiong was a little disdainful, "What big waves can he make by himself?"

"My lord's words are wrong!" Lu Su patiently said to Cao Xiong, "Although Zhou Fang is still young, and his strategy is not as good as Gong Jin's, but the city is extremely deep, and he is extremely forbearing. I can't see through him."

Lu Su turned to Cao Xiong, "The Zhou family has been operating in Jiangdong for many years, and the Zhou family's eyeliner is everywhere in the city. If Zhou Fang finds out the trace of the young master, he will definitely try his best to take you as a hostage. At that time, Wu Wei will have to The war is on."

"Uncle Lu, can you hold back Zhou Fang when Cao Xiong is gone?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Lu Su and said.

"This is the end of the matter, the war and peace are all up to God's will, you don't have to worry about it." Lu Su said to the two.

"Uncle Lu, take care." Cao Xiong saluted Lu Su.

"Miss and Young Master, take care, let's leave without delay," Lu Su said.

"Am I leaving too?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Lu Su suspiciously.

"Now is the time to make major decisions. Miss has become Cao Xiong's wife. It is useless to stay in Wuzhong at this time. Let's go with Cao Xiong." Lu Su saluted Sun Shangxiang.

Cao Xiong and Sun Shangxiang went out of the city overnight in the carriage of the Lu Mansion.

After leaving the gate of the city, Cao Xiong asked the boatman to hang the lantern on the bow of the boat and carried two maidservants up the river.

Cao Xiong and Sun Shangxiang changed horses and set off one after another, returning northward to Weihai along the overland road.

Sure enough, not long after Cao Xiong left, Zhou Fang led a group of cavalry out of the north city gate and chased them out.

Jiang Qin and Han Dang led their men and chased them out along the water in a twelve-masted boat.

Many days later, Sun Deng was supervising the construction of new factory equipment in Jianghe under Nanshan Mountain, and news came from his cronies.

"Master, Mr. Xiong has sent you a letter." Sun Deng took the scroll handed over by his confidant.

After reading it, Sun Deng smiled slightly.

After Cao Xiong returned to Weihai, he immediately called Man Chong, the governor of the navy, to ask about Weihai's river defense situation.

"Since the 23rd, there have been no Japanese invasions, and no Japanese ships on the river. I suspect that the Japanese have retreated." Man Chong said.

Did the Yingzhou people really withdraw?

Cao Xiong even doubted the real purpose of Ying Zhou's last attack.

He has already sent a secret letter to Sun Deng, asking him to help check Zhou Fang's daily contacts.

Cao Xiong vaguely felt that Zhou Fang had something to do with Dongying's last attack.

Cao Xiong called Xu Yi again, and quietly told him one thing.

"You must tell Cao Zhi about this matter yourself." Cao Xiong said to Xu Yi, "He has Yang Xiu by his side to help him, and he will definitely be able to find out the clues."

"My son, I have returned to Yecheng, who will protect you?" Xu Yi asked Cao Xiong.

"Don't worry about that." Cao Xiong said to Xu Yi, "Jiang Fang is fine, you just go and come back quickly."

"Yes." After receiving the order, Xu Yi returned to Ye City overnight.

At night, Cao Xiong rode his horse to Jiangfang in Weihai, looking at the sea, the newly upgraded rich ships were on the river.

Chapter 1526 Demon Xu on the Yingzhou River

On the river in Yingzhou, new ships have been completed and launched into the sea.

On the prow of a three-masted vessel, a woman is standing against the wind, and behind him is a man.

"Aren't you afraid of the sea breeze at your age?" The woman turned to look at the man behind her.

The man's skin is as delicate as a young man's, but his beard and hair are completely white, and his eyes are still shining in the dark night.

"One of the biggest reasons why I can live to such an old age is that I am not afraid of the sea breeze." The man smiled slightly.

The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter in the darkness, and the hair of the woman who looked at him shuddered.

"Do you know. When you smile, you look like a monster." The woman looked at his face and said.

"People who know me are used to calling me Xu Yaoren, but I really like this alias." Xu Yaoren looked at the woman and said.

The sea breeze blows on the woman's waist silk, and her graceful figure can still be seen in the dark.

"It's said that women are not to be messed with. I've lived to such an advanced age." Someone Xu looked at her.

"It's up to you!" the woman said angrily, "Anyway, you are no longer human."

In Yecheng, Cao Pi had just come out of Cao Cao's mansion at this time.

During this period of time, the weather gradually became warmer, and Cao Cao's headache attacks decreased a lot.

From time to time, Cao Pi went to the mansion to play chess with Cao Cao, and gave Cao Cao some fruit food and some medicinal materials that prolong life.

Since Cao Xiong left Yecheng, Cao Pi and Cao Cao became closer again.

Seeing Cao Pi's progress, Cao Cao handed over some affairs in the city to Cao Pi to handle.

Except for frontier military affairs, Cao Cao ignored some daily affairs and taught Cao Pi to handle them.

After a while, Cao Pi asked Jia Xu to be his teacher, but Cao Cao was noncommittal.

Cao Pi was going to ask Jia Xu for his opinion again.

It happened to be Jia Xu's 65th birthday recently, so Cao Pi went to visit Jia Xu in person with a birthday present.

It was a sunny day with a warm sun in the sky.

People in Jia's mansion were bustling with each other, but it was not lively.

Before the banquet, Cao Pi deliberately followed the courtyard behind Jia's mansion to find Jia Xu.

Jia Xu is looking at the pool in front of the courtyard, gently feeding the goldfish,

There was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and Jia Xu saw that someone was leading Cao Pi over.

"Master Pi." Jia Xu turned around and saluted Cao Pi who was coming.

"Wen He doesn't need to be polite." Cao Pi hastily helped Jia Xu up.

"Master Pi personally came to visit me, an old man, Jia Xu is very honored." Jia Xu looked at Cao Pi and said.

"Father has been ill recently, and it is inconvenient to join in the fun, so he asked me to come for him." Cao Pi took a beautiful box from the servant behind him, "This is a birthday present that my father entrusted me to bring to my husband."

"A piece of old Changbai Mountain ginseng that Xianbei paid tribute to this year." Cao Pi handed it to Jia Xu, "This is something my father would not bear to drink!"

"I can't bear this." Jia Xu declined.

"Hey, Mr. Jia can bear it." Cao Pi smiled and said to Jia Xu, "My lord, please accept my father's wishes."

"Jia Xu thanked the King of Wei." After saluting, Jia Xu took the birthday present and handed it to the servants behind him, "Keep it safe and don't let moths eat it."

"Yes." The servant carried the brocade box and went down.

At this time, only Jia Xu, Cao Pi and his servants were left in the court.

"Mr. Pi made a special trip to court this time to visit the old man, but what does the King of Wei want to say?" Jia Xu asked Cao Pi.

"Father has nothing to say." Cao Pi smiled and said to Jia Xu, "It is Cao Pi who has something to ask for advice."

"Mr. Pi can speak out as much as he wants," Jia Xu said.

"After Master Xun Yu passed away not long ago, Cao Pi lost a good teacher." Cao Pi said earnestly, "Cao Pi has been dull since childhood, but he is willing to study hard. Cao Pi has a heartless request and wants to ask Master Jia to be my teacher." A good teacher and helpful friend, worship adults as teachers, and stick to the etiquette of teachers."

Chapter 1527 Worship me as a teacher!

Seeing Cao Pi's respectful expression, Jia Xu paused for a moment, "Does King Wei know about this?"

"Father didn't say anything." Cao Pi said to Jia Xu with his face full of glory, "So, I came to ask Mr. for instructions. However, Father knew that you had passed your birthday, so he asked me to bring you old wild ginseng as a birthday present." , I think, my father has no objection to this matter."

"My lord should understand what King Wei is thinking." Jia Xu said calmly, "Since the prime minister is noncommittal, then let's say no."

"Of course I know what my father is thinking." Cao Pi thought for a while, and leaned over to Jia Xu and said, "But, when I think I have nothing to do, I will come to Master Jia to drink tea and discuss the Tao. Sample?"

"Drinking tea and discussing Taoism, the second son can do whatever he wants." Jia Xu said to Cao Pi.

"Then I will be Mr. Jia and allow me to teach you the etiquette of a teacher." Cao Pi said respectfully.

"If you can teach me something, Wen He will do my part." Jia Xu said to Cao Pi.

There was a big banquet at noon, with singing, dancing and music at Jia Xu's house, and all his friends in Yecheng came to celebrate Jia Xu's birthday.

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

......

Jia Xu and everyone thanked each other, and the congratulatory banquet lasted for a whole day and did not end until evening.

In the evening, Huoshaoyun hung in the sky, and swallows "twittered" and flew past the mansion.

Jia Xu's servants were in front of the mansion, sending everyone off with a smile.

In the city, Jia Xu arranged accommodation for all the relatives and friends from outside Yecheng and those who sent gifts. After a busy day, she was also ready to rest.

Back in the mansion, Jia Xu sat beside the table in the front room, picked up the teacup on the table, there was still half a cup of tea in the teacup, which was slightly cold.

"Master, this is old tea, let's drink some new tea." A servant came to Jia Xu's side, ready to add some fresh hot tea to Jia Xu.

"It doesn't matter." Jia Xu frowned slightly, and took two sips of tea from the cup.

The teacup was put down, and the servants hurriedly filled the cup with hot tea.

All day today, Jia Xu was enthusiastically serving wine and tea to everyone, but there was always something hanging in her heart that had not been resolved.

Why did Cao Pi suddenly come to him to learn from him?

Logically speaking, even if Xun Yu died, he would not be in such a hurry to find a new staff member.

Even if you find a new teacher, you should not find him instead.

There are many princes in the city, and Jia Xu has rarely socialized in Yecheng for so many years.

The young masters all know this, and so does Cao Cao.

Cao Cao must not know what Cao Pi said to him after court today.
