Seeing that A Sheng moved her lips to speak, he quickly pressed her mouth with the palm of his hand, and changed the subject: "A Sheng, I have an idea."

"Ok?"

"Hasn't it been a long time since you played the piano for me?" Cao Cao blinked mysteriously.

She was at a loss: "what's the matter?"

Not understanding what he meant, she frowned.

Seeing her puzzled, he raised the corners of his mouth more and more, with a malicious expression on his face: "Your seven strings sounded so good at that time, but unfortunately, I haven't listened to it for a long time, and the piano I gave you has also fallen. It's gray."

He didn't know if he was really regretful, and he even sighed pretendingly, leaning his head and squinting at her reaction, Wu Chen's eyes turned around.

A Sheng sat up straight vigilantly, stared straight at him, and simply asked: "So, what are you thinking?"

Seeing that she was impatient, he straightened up, chuckled, and then said in a serious tone: "Do you still remember—we climbed on the roof to watch the stars, the lights of thousands of households in Luoyang, and the endless The vast night? Although you may not remember it, I remember it clearly, and it is still engraved in my mind."

He brought up this long-gone past event without warning, so that Ah Sheng couldn't react for a moment, and was suddenly startled, and he was stunned in place.

But she came back to her senses immediately, and immediately lost her temper. She immediately jumped up from her seat, let out a "hum", poked him on the bridge of the nose and cursed angrily: "Are you so brave to mention it?"

"What's wrong? How did I mess with you again, Miss Bian?"

He blinked innocently, his crow-blue eyelashes outlined a playful smile, but he tried his best to keep the smile from showing, which made her even angrier, and immediately pushed his back violently, and said angrily: " If you hadn't been fooling around and robbing other people's brides, how could you have caught me and carried me up to the roof? I haven't settled this account with you yet, so what are you doing to rob someone's bride?"

Faced with her aggressive questioning, Cao Cao actually changed a sad expression, lowered his head, pretended to be pitiful, and his voice became extremely hoarse: "Oh, think about it, if I don't snatch that bride, How can I run into you, madam? I am destined to run into you only by messing around, otherwise it will be difficult to see you, so what can I do. "

As he said that, he tugged her sleeves carefully, and Ah Sheng couldn't help but curse in his heart: This cunning old fox!However, he couldn't keep his face on it anymore, he rolled his eyes, but finally he didn't dare to provoke him completely, and he couldn't even imagine the consequences, let alone bear them.

But she still couldn't get angry, and sighed bitterly: "I can never say no to you, you really deserve to be Cao-Si-Kong."

The ending is deliberately prolonged.

He kissed Ah Sheng's forehead, the restrained and forbeared kiss like a dragonfly on water, she pushed it away, and said unceremoniously: "I should have held you tight then, yelled and waited for them to come Arrest you, question your sin, and cure you of your frivolity."

"Then I will never touch you again, are you willing?"

"I can't ask for it."

Asheng provocatively said indifferently, with a tone of indifference, but he laughed it off, as if he didn't take the words to heart at all, and then put his hand on his chin: "Then Mrs. Bian, Cao Sikong wants to tell you that idea."

"Say."

"I would like to build you an unprecedented high platform. You like Yuefu Poetry, stringed songs, and flutes. I will satisfy your preferences. I will arrange all your favorite things on it. I will teach singers and dancers with elegant music. You can go to the stage to enjoy the scenery at any time of the year. , allowing you to avoid things you don’t want to face or like.”

"Cao Aman?" She was a little unbelievable, staring at him with wide eyes, waving her palm in front of him, trying to make sure he was talking nonsense, "Hello? Are you drunk?"

——Too absurd, how could he do such a thing, he is the most disdainful of such large-scale construction.

He twisted the restless hand, tried his best to restrain the twitching of the muscles on his face, kept smiling, and slowly put his hand back on the table: "I'm very awake."

"I said," he continued to repeat, as if she didn't hear clearly, "I'm going to build a high platform and arrange it according to your preferences, do you hear me?"

Now that he spoke every word clearly, she couldn't pretend to be stupid any more, she turned pale with fright and stared straight at him, her jaw almost dislocated in astonishment.

"There is no need to follow Shang Zhou and Xia Jie's example of building a large-scale construction project to waste money and arouse public anger. This is a big deal. The ministers of the common people will have to impeach you. Do you still think that your reputation is not good enough? But your kindness..."

She knew that he could do what he said, and she didn't dare to say something that would piss him off. crazy idea.

Not wanting to finish the sentence, he directly interrupted her: "Who dares to look alone! Is there anyone who dares to criticize the matter that I have decided?"

This is indeed the truth, even a bit true, and if he contradicts Cao Sikong, it will cost the life of the entire family.

But Ah Sheng still felt that this idea was too absurd.

"Then you know, although I like seven-stringed rhythm very much, I don't know any music and dance at all. I have never tried dancing, and I don't know anything about it... When I dance, my posture is weird and ugly, and your ring that is very good at dancing Madam Bi is even more embarrassing." She hesitated, fixed her eyes on Cao Cao, squeezed out the words from her throat, and rubbed her wrinkled clothes with her fingers nervously.

He didn't understand her embarrassment at the moment, even her breathing was unconsciously tightened, revealing an unconcealable uneasiness.

So he raised his eyebrows, put aside the doubts in his heart, and comforted her jokingly: "It's just that you are not good at dancing, why are you so nervous? I won't dislike you because of your uncoordinated limbs. Although you are stupid, why should I?" Ever mind?"

A Sheng shook his head, did not answer, but his eyes suddenly darkened, and the originally hidden expectation suddenly disappeared.

He lowered his head dejectedly, with uncontrollable disappointment showing in his brows, as if the night had overtaken the day and wiped out all the sunlight.

After a while, she suddenly said: "I know yesterday was your birthday."

This sentence came out of nowhere, but it made him frowned, his bright eyes seemed to be illuminated by candlelight, and he looked at her with a silent smile, without directly responding.

Her voice was thin and weak, as if she was worried about something, and she never amplified the volume: "In fact, I have always remembered it, and I have prepared a gift for you. It is a pity that I plan to give it to you that day."

"What's the pity?" His smile froze.

She opened and closed her lips a few times and wanted to speak, but shook her head after a few seconds, she still closed her mouth and swallowed her words, as if she didn't want to answer, she was vague and perfunctory: "That's all, it's nothing, I just forgot."

After a pause for a few seconds, she stared at him: "They all said that Huan Pei and I look alike, what does Cao Sikong think?"

He was slightly stunned, and then returned to his slightly smiling expression. His brows were as usual, without any waves, and he lowered his head to brush off a few invisible dust on his clothes: "They said it wrong. Why do you ask this?"

He seemed to be avoiding it deliberately, he never looked up at her from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even look at her face, and he answered casually.

There was a moment of disappointment in A Sheng's eyes, but it disappeared immediately, but he couldn't restrain the trembling in his voice: "You know, I really mind."

It was difficult for her to speak every word, but she concealed her inner struggle, and she looked normal on the surface.

"Maybe there is some resemblance." Cao Cao seemed to hear her abnormality, and looked up in surprise, "But it's just that the facial features are relatively similar, not what they said."

The moonlight fell on the tip of her nose, and Ah Sheng felt her skin itch slightly, and couldn't help pinching her nose: "Then you...would you sometimes treat me as her?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Cao Cao frowned, took a deep look at her, and looked very angry, "Why are you bothering yourself like this!"

"Then why do you keep her by your side!" Ah Sheng couldn't bear it anymore, and finally let out the breath he had held for a long time, with an aggressive tone.

She has always been obsessed with the existence of Huan Pei, and the scene of that day downstairs is still vivid in her mind, like a knife mark deep in her heart, reminding herself from time to time what the man in front of her has done in front of her.

"You know it's not me! Why do you insist on saving her!"

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly sank, and his dark pupils were bottomless: "How long has passed, why do you still bring it up? Do you want to force Gu to recall the scene at that time and be disappointed again?"

A Sheng thought it was ridiculous, and said: "Why are you disappointed? I didn't do anything to apologize to you, don't forget, the most unlucky and uncomfortable person is me!"

"How should I make you understand!" Cao Cao didn't respond fiercely, and his tone was rarely relaxed. "Now that the decisive battle with Yuan Benchu ​​is imminent, I don't want to quarrel with you because of these. I cherish this time very much and want to be with you." Live every moment well.”

His tone suddenly became much gentler. After hearing this, Ah Sheng couldn't help but shut his mouth silently, and the anger dissipated inexplicably.

Although she was still feeling uncomfortable, she looked at the familiar man in front of her, lowered her eyes quietly, and sighed.

There were endless clouds outside the window, and the cold wind blowing in the dust, she couldn't help shivering, and only then felt the chill wrapped around her skin.

Everything in the future is turbulent, and all dangers are unknowns that cannot be grasped. Maybe leaving is a farewell, and goodbye may be difficult to meet again in a lifetime.

He took off his cloak and put it on her body, A Sheng didn't refuse, let the warm cloak dispel the cold a lot, heard him say: "I will send Liu Ye to Wancheng in a few days. "

"What are you going to do in Wancheng?" The place name instantly alerted her.

"Go and persuade Jia Xu to recruit Zhang Xiu."

"What did you say?" Her face turned pale immediately, her arms trembled in shock, after hearing that name, it was like being bitten by a poisonous snake, her nerves tightened involuntarily, and she almost screamed.

Cao Cao glanced at her: "Zhang Xiu obeyed Jia Wenhe's words, if we don't talk to Jia Xu, then we have no possibility of surrendering Zhang Xiu."

"That's seeking skin from a tiger!" She understood the reason, but she still had a subconscious chill towards Jia Xu's name, fearing from the bottom of her heart that he would hate him, like a scorpion biting her body, and she was full of restlessness.

How could she forget——Jia Xu's poisonous plan killed Zixiu, and made that high-spirited young man sleep forever in the silent underground!

He is completely selfish and egoist, like a venomous boa constrictor that seems to be dormant, ready to take advantage of others' danger to retaliate at any time, and only do what is beneficial to him.

Abandoned emotions, abandoned all the good things in the world, and exiled himself to the darkness, leaving only a gloomy swamp.

If he saw the sun, the evil stained on his hands would be invisible.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, as if her neck was strangled by him again, those unfathomable purple pupils were staring at her darkly, with a terrible sneer.

"Bian Sheng!" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, stopped her loss of composure in a low voice, gently stroked the top of her hair, and signaled her to calm down, "I understand your mood, and even know what you are worried about."

"Then you don't have to deal with him! How can you handle a person like him!" A Sheng said fiercely, while breaking away from his hand and glaring at him.

Cao Cao curled his mouth helplessly, showing a comforting smile: "I have experienced so many years in the court and on the battlefield, and I have come to this position step by step. No matter who is thinking, I know what I know, how can I not be clear? What kind of person is Jia Xu? This person is deep in thought, very powerful, although he has no plans, but he is full of vicious schemes. Wancheng's defeat is all thanks to him. Naturally, I hate him and Zhang Xiu to the bone."

"Then why do you know that there are tigers in the mountains, and why do you prefer to go to the mountains?"

"Because Yuan Benchu ​​is the most vicious tiger and leopard." Cao Cao lowered his eyebrows and explained to her patiently, "I must get Zhang Xiu's support, and surrendering him means that I will get new troops to fight against Yuan Shao, and I will not be able to fight against Yuan Shao." I will no longer have to worry about my future, and I don’t have to worry about him colluding with Liu Biao to stab me in the back.”

He has been gently patting her on the back, his eyes glowed with a soft light of comfort, Ah Sheng gradually calmed down, looked into his eyes blankly, opened his mouth, and said: "Then you are not afraid... He listened to Jia Xu's words and betrayed you again."

"No," his tone was very firm, making her feel that her doubts were like the darkness in the corner, which was instantly dispelled by the bright sunlight, "On the contrary, he will listen to Jia Xu's words - and submit to me more loyally .”
