Wei Ni

Hearing that Xia Houhui mentioned Cao Shuang, Ding Mi, who was still aggrieved at first, felt inexplicably happy for a moment.

Not only because he had drafted this issue early, but also because he saw the light of day.

He knew that he would either give up Cao Shuang or be rejected by Xia Houhui. After all, if you want to rely on others to embark on the road to power, you will not be allowed to have both sides.

And Xia Houhui mentioned this, which means that he is already considering the pros and cons of accepting himself.

In this way, how can we not be inspired!

"Cao Zhaobo and I are friends."

With the joy in his heart, Ding Mi looked solemn and said frankly, "However, it is not just about friendship. Now I have the audacity to ask for child rights because it is a family plan. The importance of the two cannot be discussed in the same way. If He has shown admiration for Guan You'an, and I should imitate Hua Ziyu's calmness." After saying this, he seemed to be afraid that Xia Houhui wouldn't believe it, so he added, "If Zhiquan doesn't believe it, Brother Yu can go back immediately and order the common people in Luoyang City. As you all know, Cao Zhaobo and I have broken off our relationship today!"

He told the truth.

Although Cao Shuang treated him well, and he also wanted to rely on Cao Shuang to revive his family, so far, he has never mentioned this to Cao Shuang; and Cao Shuang has not yet promoted his official career.

The reason is that with Cao Shuang's current power, it is impossible for Emperor Cao Rui to lift Ding Mi from imprisonment.

It is true that the two of them are in love with each other, but there is no entanglement of interests, and they are far from the point where they share weal and woe and are both prosperous.

uh~
If you say you want to break off the relationship, break it off.

Should I praise you for being decisive, or should I despise you for being mercenary?

Xia Houhui made a frivolous joke in his heart. He waved his hand quickly and smiled sternly. "Brother Yanjing has said it before. How can I not believe what he said? I'm just afraid that brother will be in a dilemma, so I asked casually, brother, you don't have to So. Hmm”

At this point, he made a long nasal sound, and then continued to ask, "Brother Yanjing, I seem to have heard that when my brother was in Yecheng, he once made a move to provoke the prince. Is the rumor true?"

Are you worried about my arrogant personality and domineering behavior?

"It's true."

Ding Mi smiled, and after a few chuckles, he said meaningfully, "It's just that with my childish wisdom, I still don't know why I am so evil? At that time, I was only a commoner, and I had lived in the mountains and fields for many years. No one knows who I am, Ding Mi!"

"Hahaha~"

Immediately, Xia Houhui couldn't help but smile, "In ancient times there was Mao Sui, and now there is Brother Yanjing. Although we have different paths, we can say that we have the same goal."

The two of them laughed tacitly for a while.

After a moment, he stopped laughing, and Ding Mi returned to his previous position, sitting upright and waiting for the result.

This time, Xia Houhui stopped brooding.

Instead, he said softly, "To be honest with brother Yanjing, the day when Qin Yuanming's class teacher returned was when I rushed to Huainan. How long will it take for me to return to Luoyang Mianjun? Maybe a year and a half, or maybe two or three years later. I don't know. Brother, do you think it’s been a long time?”

Yes, he had plans to accept Ding Mi's attachment.

In any case, this person has extraordinary knowledge and talents. If he can be trusted as his confidant, it will be of great benefit to him in the future.

Especially since Ding Mi is the only one asking for help now. If he refuses without any mercy, he will hold a grudge and will make many plans to plot against him in the future.

The last reason is that it is a bit sinister.
He cannot be an enemy!

With Ding Mi’s talent, how can he lack people to recruit?
He abandoned Cao Shuang and came here, but he didn't accept it. What if he couldn't think about it and went to Sima's family?
As for what he meant, he claimed that he was not asking for mercy from the emperor Cao Rui now. It was not because he had no way to get Cao Rui to lift Ding Mi's imprisonment, but just in case.

It is essential to be on guard against others.

He was not Cao Shuang. Others just pointed at Luoshui and farted, and then happily took the three tribes, young and old, to reunite with their ancestors under the underworld.

Moreover, on the road to power, brothers are still hostile to each other.

For example, Cao Zhang, who was able to fight ferocious beasts with his bare hands and was in his prime, died suddenly when he went to court in Luoyang!
Ding Mi is nothing more than his cousin, how dare he be careless!

Therefore, he needs time to verify whether Ding Mi is sincere in seeking attachment.

For example, see when he broke off diplomatic relations with Cao Shuang, when he stopped associating with friends who were also imprisoned by the flashy case, and see whether he will still seek support from others during this period, etc.

Furthermore, things that are too easy to obtain will not be cherished.

Feeding animals and claws is like feeding an eagle.

Always make the hungry food available for use, but not enough to throw it away, let alone ignore it.

Ding Mi certainly didn't know what he was thinking.

He also felt quite emotional in his heart, glad that he had made the right bet this time.

You know, he was imprisoned by the emperor's edict!
Xia Houhui actually claimed that he would help him seek to lift his imprisonment in as little as one and a half years, or as long as two or three years old. Who dares to make such a promise!
Anyway, he knew that Cao Shuang could not have such courage. Yes, he was not worried that Xia Houhui was boasting and would break his promise later.

A husband must be true to his words and be resolute in his deeds.

And until he is released from confinement, he will not be able to serve Xiahou Hui~
Therefore, as soon as Xia Houhui finished his words, he stood up and bowed again, saying with gratitude, "Thank you so much for not giving up! Brother Fool will not let you down!"

"Brother, you don't have to be like this."

Xia Houhui, who hurriedly came over to help, smiled broadly and said, "I just want to make a request for my brother. Whether it comes true or not depends on the emperor's will. If everything goes well, it won't be too late for Brother Yanjing to thank me."

You are so confident about the date, why are you so modest?
Ding Mi felt happy and was about to say something, but was overtaken by Xia Houhui, "Although I want to talk to my brother again, I dare not delay any longer. If brother Yanjing does not return to Luoyang at this time, he may not be able to reach the city gate." Locked up."

what!
Isn't your Wubao just two or three miles away?
Hearing this, Ding Mi, who was ordered to be expelled, was slightly stunned, but he quickly nodded in agreement.

It must be that my identity is sensitive now, and I don't want to just add to other people's leisure time.

After excusing himself, Ding Mi stood up and said goodbye, "Zhiquan, Brother Yu, we'll say goodbye here and wait until we meet again someday. Oh, by the way, I haven't congratulated Zhiquan on his contribution to the Northern Expedition to Xianbei yet. And Zhiquan is in the emperor's heart, and he will return when he returns." When they get married, they can still conquer the state. From this, it can be seen that Zhiquan is favored by the emperor. Qin Yuanming is not as good as Cao Zhaobo! You can also expect that Brother Yu will be attached to Jiwei. I hope Zhiquan will encourage him! People who don't have great ambitions are just people who want to have a career in the future. It shouldn't be difficult to get close to him if they are young."

After saying this, without waiting for a reply, he turned around and left with a long stride.

Therefore, he did not see that Xia Houhui, who was originally smiling, suddenly froze after hearing his farewell words.

If you look closer, you will find that he looks a little depressed and a little embarrassed.

Yes, Ding Mi's words not only did not make Xia Houhui happy, but instead gave rise to a vague feeling of being humiliated.

Although through these words, he finally understood why Chen Tai, Fu Gu, Ding Mi and others suddenly showed great kindness to him, and they tried to explore the reasons for mutual coexistence and mutual benefit.

But at this moment, in his heart, there was such a silent roar
What I hope is that I can conquer Shu and destroy Wu in my lifetime, and achieve great achievements, so that China will be unified again as soon as possible, so that the common people of Li can cultivate their health and gain a reputation before and after death!
But you say that I am fortunate enough to have made great achievements in the Northern Expedition to Xianbei? How gratifying is it?
My ambition in this life is to save Cao Wei's life, prevent Luo Shui from farting and killing the king in the street, and prevent Lu Chen of China and Li Shu of the Han family from falling into the darkest moment for hundreds of years!

And you praise me for being more favored by Emperor Cao Rui than Cao Shuang, Qin Lang and others?
Is my old enemy a disciple of Cao Shuang and Qin Lang?

If you are not as wise as them, you can compare it to Sima Yi, Master Sima and his son!

Mr. Shu, you actually compared me with Cao Shuang and others, and even said in a serious tone that I should be encouraged?
The future I want is for an eagle to soar into the sky and overlook all living beings. How is it comparable to a group of chickens raised in captivity? Who was slaughtered and served on the food table later?

really.

Chen She’s words are true!
The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan!
Alas, that’s all.

There is no use in being angry with oneself.

The so-called summer insects cannot talk about ice.

Although Ding Mi came from a prominent family and was very scheming, he was eventually deposed and imprisoned, and his spirit was no longer what it once was. Therefore, I would not have thought that I actually aspire to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, and have the power to arbitrarily determine the world.

After thinking about it like this, Xia Houhui calmed down the annoyance in his heart.

As for Ding Mi's final suggestion that he try to get close to Qin Lang in the hope that he could be used as a supporter in the future, he simply ignored it.

He had already considered this issue.

But since the Northern Expedition to Xianbei saw Qin Lang's actions, he no longer needed to think about it.

Why do you get close to such a submissive and mediocre person?
What a benefit!

If he has some free time, he might as well spend more time wooing people like Fu Gu, or pay attention to the likes of Zhang Hu, Qian Hong and Gongsun Yi! No matter how bad it is, if you look for ordinary people like Han Long and Gou Quan, the help you will get in the future will be better than Qin Lang~
And he would rather fight against ten divine opponents than have one more pig teammate!

Although the former is struggling, it is still possible to have a glimmer of hope by working step by step, and there is still a time when one can reach the peak and feel that there is no end to the road; while the latter will definitely fail and fall into an abyss of eternal destruction!

Why seek death?
After standing in silence for a moment, Xia Houhui let go of his thoughts and planned to go back to find his beloved wife and walk together in the stone spring to enjoy the tranquility of the years.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he found Wang Yuanji coming slowly, and she had arrived before anyone else arrived, "Just now, my servant said, I saw my brother riding away on horseback, so I came here to look for my husband."

"Ha, I was just about to go find Mr. Xi."

Xia Houhui was filled with joy after hearing the words, and stepped forward to greet him, "This place is called Shiquan Pine Forest. It is green all the time, and the spring water is clear and not freezing. It is the perfect place for making tea and reading. If you like it, I will let Uncle Sun Find someone to buy it and build a thatched cottage for Xijun to enjoy the scenery. "

"Yes, I like it very much. However, my husband still has no regard for it."

"Why? This place is remote and sparsely populated, so it doesn't cost much money."

"No matter how little you spend, you can't buy it. My husband may not know it, but the family's expenses on things such as papermaking and the education of the children of tenant farmers are huge, and they can no longer make ends meet."

Ah, isn't it?
Am I down and out again? ! (End of chapter)
