"Hehe...a bunch of idiots, they only know how to chat, but they don't even know how to eat such delicious food. It's an advantage for me..."
Zhao Xiaotuan was leaning on her back, nibbling with relish and muttering in a low voice. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her head and turned her head away angrily.
"Who, who dares to pull the lazy king's pigtails? Huh, I didn't know that I...ah, it's a big pot, you...you're back so soon?"
Zhao Xiaotuan smiled innocently, showing his little tiger teeth, and handed over the half-eaten pig's trotters: "Hey, big pot, are you hungry, or should you eat something first?"
Cao Ning grabbed Zhao Xiaotuan's ponytail and lifted it directly to her: "Tell me, how many treasures did the old man give you, including storage bags?"
As soon as he heard that the mortar had not been stolen, Cao Ning guessed that it must have been hidden by someone.
Obviously the only thing that can do it without being noticed is a storage bag.
"Storage bag? What is a storage bag? Hehe, I don't even know what you are talking about for the big pot..." Zhao Xiaotuan joked with a smile.
"Really? Haha, how can you pack a mortar without a storage bag, right, my beloved lazy classmate?" Cao Ning sneered.
"Mortar? What do I want with that thing? It's so heavy and can't be eaten... Hehe, I don't want it." Zhao Xiaotuan defended.
Although Zhao Xiaotuan refused to admit it, Cao Ning was not impatient at all.
He let go of the braid in his hand, sat on the chair next to him, crossed his legs and said with interest: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, then I will sneak off the boat with you and sneak to Humen Pass.
matter."
"Tell me, if these things are put together, if I lock you in the wall of a small dark room for a year, you should have no problem with it, right?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaotuan didn't panic at all. She smiled and joked: "Hey, big pot, can you bring a mobile phone? It would be best if you can take care of food and drink."
"Do you want me to get you another high-end game console?"
"Okay, okay!"
Zhao Xiaotuan bared his fangs in excitement, but he almost made Cao Ning angry.
"I...you think I asked you to go on vacation?"
"Hey, hey, I was wrong about the cauldron, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"
Seeing Cao Ning's raised hand, Zhao Xiaotuan immediately covered his head and retracted.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu You obviously said it yourself, why are you still beating me... Humph, you shameless person!"
"What did you say?"
"No, no...hehe!"
"..."
Cao Ning rolled his eyes: "No, there is nothing, except clothes, you can't bring anything in, and no one has talked to you yet."
"Ah... there's no one to talk to, so I'll have to die of boredom... Wuwuwu, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want the big pot..."
Zhao Xiaotuan could already imagine what it would be like to drive someone crazy in that kind of environment, so he quickly pulled Cao Ning to beg for mercy.
This kind of punishment was simply worse than death for someone like her who couldn't bear not speaking for even a minute.
"Lord, is this punishment too severe?"
Zhao Yun, who was standing next to him, sympathized with Zhao Xiaotuan, so he stood up and spoke for her: "I was able to hold Humen this time only because of Miss Zhao's magic. Otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable."
What Zhao Yun said is indeed true. Judging from the battle of Humen Pass alone, if it hadn't been for Zhao Xiaotuan, everyone present would have died there.
"Zilong, please stop speaking for her. She is just a blind cat caught up with a dead mouse."
Cao Ning interrupted Zhao Zilong and shouted: "If we don't punish him severely this time, I don't know what trouble he will cause next time."
"I don't have that. I'm pretty awesome too, okay!"
"Da Guo, why do you always treat me like a child? I'm an adult too, okay."
With tears in his eyes, Zhao Xiaotuan took out a black sachet embroidered with the word "魔" from his pocket and slapped it on the table.
"One day, I will definitely prove myself to you."
After saying that, Zhao Xiaotuan ran out angrily, even leaving behind his beloved pig's trotters.
He looks really angry!
"When did this girl become so temperamental?"
Cao Ning took the sachet and when he held it in his hand, he realized that it was a small storage bag, and it contained the missing mortar.
"Okay everyone, since the lost mortar has been found, let's let this matter go as it is."
Cao Ning found Zhao Hai and handed Hei Wuchang the bag containing the guinea fowl, part of which would be used for tonight's celebration, and the rest found a place to raise in captivity.
"I just brought back some delicious food and wine from outside. You won't come home until you get drunk tonight."
"Okay, thank you lord!"
After everyone came back to their senses, they dispersed one after another. With Sanhei in charge tonight, the atmosphere of the dinner would definitely be the same.
Seeing everyone disperse, Kong Ming followed up, smiled, and casually told Cao Ning some good news.
It turns out that except for a small number of honest people who conscientiously followed the instructions of the princes that Cao Ning sent back to gather troops and horses, most of them delayed the gathering time on the grounds that they could not leave.
What's more, like the Yuan Shao brothers, they simply refused and looked like they planned to continue fighting.
After hearing this, Cao Ning smiled and joked: "Lao Kong, this news is not good news. How can you still laugh? Are you eager to see me make a fool of myself?"
"Go, stop hurting me!"
Kong Ming shook his feather fan and hummed: "I don't know about you yet, are you hoping that the Yuan brothers will reject you so that you can kill them as a warning to others?"
"Hey, the one who knows me is Lao Kongye!"
Cao Ning does have such an idea!
If you expect to conquer them one by one, you will definitely waste a lot of time.
But if you kill one person as a warning to others, even though the method is a bit ruthless, the effect is obvious.
Cao Ning put his arm on Kong Ming's shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm going to work harder on you these days and help me with the work of surrendering the troops. After we deal with the Yuan family, we still have a big deal waiting to be done.
"
"No...you won't get into any trouble again if you go out, right?"
Kong Ming was a little nervous. It seemed that it was not Cao Ning's style to avoid causing trouble.
Cao Ning smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that there are a few reckless people bullying my wife. I'll help her teach her a lesson."
"Your wife? Are you talking about the school beauty? I say Cao Ning, don't mess around. If you destroy the order of Yin and Yang, it will be a serious crime, and the underworld will not be able to spare you." Kong Ming advised.
Cao Ning waved his hand nonchalantly: "Oh, Lao Kong, I'm not a fool. Don't worry. Not only will the underworld not punish me, but it will even commend me."
"Just brag, I believe you are the only one who knows the truth!"
Although Kong Ming was unconvinced, he knew that Cao Ning never fought an uncertain battle.
This thing is eighty percent true!
Looking at the back of Cao Ning leaving gracefully, Kong Ming shouted anxiously: "Hey, why did you leave? There are still so many people here."
Cao Ning waved her hand without looking back: "I'll leave this to you. I'll go see that little aunt. Alas, life is miserable..."
"..."
Kong Ming was speechless. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to meet such a man.
