Chapter 664 Dingjun Mountain: The Eve of the Great War
"You mean, the woman who wants to arrest you is named Yue Qiluo?"
After returning to Dingjun Mountain, Cao Ning immediately asked Zhao Xiaotuan how she came here.
Although he couldn't understand when Zhao Xiaotuan became so smart, the fact was that she successfully escaped danger with her own wisdom.
Zhao Xiaotuan showed his little tiger teeth and nodded his head: "Yes, I remember I was teasing her at that time... You don't even know how funny that person is, she wants to lie to me. She should find a better reason."
, she actually said that you praised me and said that I was gentle and virtuous, which made me laugh to death."
"Yue Qiluo, it turns out to be that woman!"
Cao Ning muttered this name, and his mind immediately thought of the ghost he met under the well of the courtyard in the capital.
If someone hadn't rescued her at that time, I'm afraid she would never be alive today.
However, the more Cao Ning listened to Zhao Xiaotuan's evaluation, the more he felt it was a bit jarring.
He grabbed Zhao Xiaotuan's ears with a straight face and hummed: "Then tell me, what kind of person am I in your mind?"
"Hey, hey, it hurts, it hurts, I was wrong about the cauldron, I really know I was wrong!"
"Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
"I, I, I..."
Zhao Xiaotuan pouted his mouth and sobbed pitifully: "I, I'm afraid I don't know..."
"..."
Cao Ning was immediately speechless. He took a deep breath and lifted her up from the ground: "Go to the side and recite silently that only the eldest brother in the world is good. If you don't recite it a hundred times, you won't be allowed to have dinner tonight."
"Oh~oh!"
Zhao Xiaotuan lowered his head aggrievedly and agreed.
If someone punished her like this, she would definitely be unwilling to do so, and might even refute it.
But if Cao Ning said this, then Zhao Xiaotuan would not dare to say more than half a word 'no'.
She silently grabbed her ears and squatted in a corner next to her, chanting a spell that she might not even understand, so skillfully that it made people feel distressed.
"Cao Ning...Zhao Xiaotuan is already an adult. Isn't it bad to punish her like this?"
Seeing Zhao Xiaotuan squatting in the corner dejectedly, Shi Xiaoxiao, who had been standing by and watching, couldn't bear it, so he wanted to beg Cao Ning for mercy.
However, Cao Ning was unwilling to pay attention and instead comforted Shi Xiaoxiao.
"Sister Shi, are you scared today?"
"Actually, I wanted to explain it to you last time, but it's just that these things are too complicated to explain. After all, science doesn't know how to explain it, so I didn't mention it last time."
"But don't worry, I will find a way to send you back as soon as possible." Cao Ning comforted.
Shi Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and shook her head: "To be honest, I was really scared at the beginning. After all, this is human nature."
"But after what I saw this day, I found that not all of these things are scary, but it depends on how you think about them."
"Just like Cheng Yaojin and others, I see simplicity and honesty in them. Such ghosts are not scary at all to me."
"It's just like people, people also have good and bad qualities, but sometimes it's the human heart that's more difficult to understand."
Hearing what Shi Xiaoxiao said, Cao Ning felt much more relaxed.
Originally, he was still having a headache on how to comfort Shi Xiaoxiao, but he didn't expect that she would understand so thoroughly.
"Of course it's best if you think so, but in the coming time, I still hope you can have a good attitude."
Cao Ning stood up and stretched: "You also know that we are about to go to war with Dong Zhuo's coalition forces, and we may be in danger by then."
"If you mind, I can arrange for someone to send you away now."
"You don't have to worry about that woman outside. I will have someone protect you until all potential dangers are eliminated."
I thought Shi Xiaoxiao would be moved, but I didn't expect that she would still shake her head.
After all, she was only involved temporarily, and Yue Qiluo's attention might not necessarily be on her. It might be the best arrangement to leave at this time and still have someone to protect her.
"I know you mean well, but I don't want you to be distracted by me at this time, so I decided to stay with you."
"Really not leaving?"
"Don't leave!"
Seeing Shi Xiaoxiao being so determined, Cao Ning stopped trying to persuade him.
After all, he is facing a lot of troubles now, and he really doesn't have many manpower to spare.
"If that's the case, then you should stay with Zhao Xiaotuan. Although this girl is usually a little unreliable, she still has the ability to protect herself."
"Hey, Cauldron, why did I hear you praising me?"
Zhao Xiaotuan shook his twin ponytails and stared at Cao Ning with his big eyes open.
Cao Ning rolled his eyes: "You heard wrong, finish the punishment quickly, or I won't wait for you to have dinner."
"No, no, I'm going to say it right now... Only a big pot is good in the world, and a child with a big pot is like a treasure..."
"..."
Seeing Zhao Xiaotuan, who had never been so well-behaved, Shi Xiaoxiao suddenly felt uncomfortable.
But compared to Zhao Xiaotuan, Shi Xiaoxiao is more concerned about tomorrow's war.
She looked curiously inside and outside the stronghold, and then asked: "Cao Ning, how many soldiers do you have here in total? Can they defeat Dong Zhuo's coalition forces?"
"It must be possible. Although I only have more than a thousand people here, it is more than enough to deal with those idiots." Cao Ning said confidently.
"More than a thousand???"
Shi Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, "Can I ask how many people are there at Dong Zhuo's side?"
Cao Ning thought for a while and replied: "Judging from the information just sent back today, it seems that there are 110,000 or 20,000."
"ten..."
Shi Xiaoxiao almost had his jaw dropped. He pulled Cao Ning and walked out of the cave: "To be honest, Cao Ning, I think you should run away quickly."
"Run...what are you running for?"
Cao Ning withdrew his arm in embarrassment, "I'm not bragging to you. Don't tell me that the other party only has 120,000 troops. Even if there are several times more, I won't panic."
"So you are hiding your back trick, right?"
"It can't be considered a last resort, it's just a small countermeasure."
"That's true!"
"What did you say?"
"No, no, I didn't say anything..."
Shi Xiaoxiao waved his hands awkwardly: "I mean, I believe you can win."
"That's necessary! Okay, let's not talk anymore. Let's go have dinner quickly, otherwise everything will be eaten by those animals."
As he spoke, Cao Ning pulled Shi Xiaoxiao, but Shi Xiaoxiao instinctively withdrew his hand and resisted.
Cao Ning also realized that he was a little abrupt, so he smiled awkwardly and explained: "I'm sorry, I'm used to it."
"No, it's okay. I'm just too sensitive."
Shi Xiaoxiao awkwardly pushed her hair behind her ears: "Don't we have to wait for the dumplings to come together?"
"You mean her? It's okay. This guy never treats me badly."
"Okay then!"
After hearing what Cao Ning said, Shi Xiaoxiao no longer insisted.
She glanced at Zhao Xiaotuan sympathetically, and took a look at the giant ship that was being refitted.
