Headache!

When Chen Mo woke up again, it was the next morning. No matter what he did last night, he would always wake up at dawn the next morning. Although his body was very resilient, he would still have a headache after drinking.

The warmth in the quilt made Chen Mo not want to get up. Yun Si's soft body made him linger a little. What Uncle Zheng said back then seemed to come true. A woman is a man's bone scraper. That feeling of addiction can really erase people's emotions.

will.

"Husband, are you awake?" Yun Si was awakened by Chen Mo getting up.

"Well, I was a little out of sorts last night." Chen Mo said with a smile while getting dressed.

"It can also be said that it is true. My husband must be very tired on weekdays, right?" Yun Si shook his head gently and stood up to help Chen Mo get dressed.

Tired?

A bit, but in this life, there are only a few people who are not tired. I used to think that the emperor would live a very cool life, but after what he saw and heard in the court yesterday, Chen Mo suddenly discovered that the emperor is actually very tired, and everyone has them.

Chen Mo wants to revitalize his family, and Cao Cao wants to realize his ideal of general Pingxi. How many people can really put aside everything in the world and live a free and unrestrained life?

"Not really." Chen Mo shook his head, and Chen Mo rarely showed his vulnerable side in front of others, even the people closest to him.

"Actually, my husband knows that he is the most charming when he is wild and unrestrained." Yun Si chuckled.

Chen Mo in his drunken state is like a drug that makes people want to stop. Although he knows the danger, he still can't help but indulge in it.

Chen Mo carefully thought about the scenes last night, and suddenly felt ashamed to see others. He looked at Yun Si speechlessly: "Women... all like this?"

"Uh... it's not last night. My husband was too... unrestrained last night." Yun Si corrected his mistake. Chen Mo, who was drunk with Cao Cao last night, had a bit of a bad style. He was originally a good man in troubled times, but he seemed to have suddenly changed.

He became a drunkard running wild on the street.

"How is Brother Meng De?" Chen Mo asked.

"I'm afraid I'm not awake yet." Yun Si shook his head, but not everyone has Chen Mo's amazing physique. No matter what he did the day before, he will be full of energy the next day.

"Prepare a few greetings. I accepted my favor yesterday and want to pay my respects to Taifu and Mr. Lu." Chen Mo put on his clothes and told Yun Si.

No matter what Yuan Wei's intentions were, without his words, it would not have been easy for Chen Mo to succeed the military captain so smoothly. Thanking him was a must. In addition, he also needed to go to Lu Zhi's place. There were some things that he didn't want to do.

I understand very well. Although the emperor refused to promote me yesterday because of his age, if it weren't for the emperor's instruction, he and Zhang Rang would not be related to each other. Obviously, he was promoted to the school captain this time. Behind the scenes,

It's the emperor who is doing the pushing.

"I have prepared a greeting card for my husband, and I will send it to someone after dawn." Yun Si said with a smile while arranging her clothes.

"Well, I'm going to see Brother Meng De." Chen Mo nodded. There was a sensible and decent woman beside him, which seemed... not bad.

He left his room and went straight to the wing. The sky was just bright. Breathing the fresh air outside the door, he felt a lot more energetic. However, in Cao Cao's room, he was snoring like thunder. It seemed that for a while,

Can't wake up.

"Prepare some wine and meat for me and put it in the food basket." Chen Mo rubbed his aching head, looked at Juan'er beside him and said, "I'm going to the prison. If Brother Meng De wakes up, he can take good care of him."

When it comes to Lu Zhi and Yuan Wei, they have to wait for their response. You can't just go and visit them the same day you send them the invitation. They have to wait for their response, just like when they visited Lu Zhi last time. Lu Zhi nodded before he could go.

But this time it shouldn't be as long as the last time. Yuan Wei should be trying to win over him.

"Here~" Juan'er agreed and went to tell the cook to prepare food and wine for Chen Mo.

…

"Congratulations to Lieutenant Chen for your promotion." Outside the prison, the officials in charge of Xing Prison did not stop Chen Mo when they saw him. Since Gao Shun was imprisoned, Chen Mo has come to visit every once in a while, and he has become familiar with these prison officials.

.

"Why is it that everyone seems to know about what happened yesterday?" Chen Mo had to lament the speed at which news spread in Luoyang City.

"There are no secrets in this officialdom." The prison officer shook his head and said with a smile, but you are quite popular now. A fifteen-year-old captain is rare among my big men.

"It's just luck." Chen Mo shook his head. As a captain, he really had some luck.

The two of them talked all the way, entered the prison, and walked towards Gao Shun's cell.

"Chen Mo!?" A hoarse shout echoed in the prison like a night owl. The sound, matched with the gloomy and miserable environment of the prison, was really penetrating.

Chen Mo followed the sound and saw Bao Hong lying between the shackles of the cell door, trying hard to get his head out of the gap between the old men. A pair of bloodshot eyes stared at Chen Mo, like a poisonous snake that wanted to choose someone to eat.

Seeing Bao Hong's appearance, Chen Mo sighed and looked at the prison officer. The prison officer nodded and left knowingly. Then Chen Mo took a few steps forward and saluted Bao Hong: "So the general is here.

."

"Don't pretend to be a good person, you just came to see how embarrassed I am now!" Bao Hong stared at Chen Mo.

Not really.

Chen Mo looked at his former boss, thought about it, and walked over, took some food from the food basket and handed it to him and said: "Whether the general believes it or not, the general's imprisonment this time was not the result of the last general."

"If it wasn't you, who else could it be?" Bao Hong sneered.

"There are many, such as Your Majesty, Duke Shuo, and Duke Benchu, etc. Mo is not the only one who knows what the general does. You don't need to read the military pay account book carefully. The general can tell it with just a cursory glance.

I have a clue, I have tried to persuade the general, but the general is unwilling to listen. If someone wants to touch the general, don't say that there is something wrong with those account books, even if there is nothing..." Looking at Bao Hong, Chen Mo sighed and said: "General, I'm afraid

It’s also difficult to stay here.”

"Why?" Bao Hong glared at Chen Mo and said hoarsely.

"Because you are incompetent!" Chen Mo looked at Bao Hong, shook his head and said: "The general still doesn't understand that the Eighth School of Xiyuan is where His Majesty and the general compete for military power, killing each other at every step. This time let me

The troops went out to fight the Gebei thieves. If, general, you really defeated the Gebei thieves with your own ability, then even if your majesty wanted to take you, he would not be able to do it. The general would protect you, but you did not. I did know this matter after the fact.

But do you know that these Xiyuan generals like us have been chosen by His Majesty from the beginning to control the military power of Xiyuan. Every move of the general is in our eyes. No matter what the general does, it is not easy to hide it, let alone

What's more, the general has reminded the general about deducting military pay, but the general insists on doing so. Don't say that the general and I are not related. Even if you and I have friendship, what the general has done is the most benevolent and righteous."

"I'm right. I won't deduct military pay. How can I make friends with the powerful people in Luoyang?" Bao Hong wanted to shake his head, but found that his head was stuck in the door frame because of too much force just now. He could only wait for Chen Mo to say: "Like I'm waiting for this.

If you have a normal background and want to climb up, you have to do this. I’m not wrong.”

"The general treats you well," Chen Mo reminded.

"He's just a butcher, so what if he's a general?" Bao Hong suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Chen Mo and said, "Chen Mo, I know you have a good relationship with Brother Benchu, please help me beg him, if the Yuan family

If you are willing to help, you can definitely rescue me from the prison. Tell Brother Benchu ​​that as long as the Yuan family is willing to rescue me, Bao Honggan will be a servant of the Yuan family!"

"I will tell you. As for whether Lord Ben Chu agrees, I can't guarantee it." Chen Mo wanted to say something else. Although there was no clear evidence, he felt that the Yuan family was behind Bao Hong's encounter.

One portion, just looking at Bao Hong's longing eyes, he didn't say anything in the end, he just nodded in agreement.

It is a good thing to have hope. Maybe for Bao Hong, the Yuan family's help is his last hope, so why should he shatter the last hope in his heart?

"Thank you." Bao Hong looked at Chen Mo with a grateful face and said, "If I can be released from prison, I will be rewarded generously."

"I hope so." Chen Mo picked up the food basket and bowed to Bao Hong, "General, I have to go see an old friend. I'll say goodbye. General, please take good care of me."

"Thank you... thank you so much!!" Bao Hong's voice echoed in the dark prison.

Chen Mo didn't look back, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. How many people in Luoyang were like Bao Hong, who tried their best to cling to the powerful, but in the end they became abandoned sons in the hands of the powerful?

Is Bao Hong wrong?

It can be said that there is, after all, he did not even understand the situation clearly. His mistake was his ignorance rather than anything else. The so-called rules are not universal in all situations. Otherwise, what is the use of laws? Is he wrong?

When he should take action, he understood something he shouldn't have touched. The most frightening thing is that he himself didn't realize it. Even now, he wants the person who single-handedly caused his current situation to help him out. It's pitiful and ridiculous, and even more...

sad.

"Why are you so depressed after being promoted to captain?" In prison, Gao Shun poured a glass of wine for Chen Mo, but he didn't pour it himself. Gao Shun looked at Chen Mo and asked.

"I found that the higher I walked, the more things I thought about, and I was not as happy as I thought before." Chen Mo placed the food in the food basket away one by one and sighed.

"This is how life is. God is fair. Whatever you want to gain, you will naturally have to lose something. The trade-off is life." Gao Shun took a sip of water.

"The general always speaks so profoundly." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Even if you are not imprisoned, your general rank is now above mine, and there is no need to call me general anymore." Gao Shun waved his hand.

"We'll talk about it later if we get used to it." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Now that the Xiyuan Army has been established, your Majesty's purpose of containing the general's military power has been achieved, and the importance of the new Xiyuan Army will no longer be that important. After a while,

I will eventually try to rescue the general from prison."

"Be your subordinate?" Gao Shun raised his eyelids and looked at Chen Mo and asked.

"If you are willing, you can naturally ask for it, but if the general is not willing, Mo will not force it. I saved the general from prison because I respect the general as a person and will not use this to coerce the general into joining me. Although Chen Mo is powerful, he still has this little credibility.

Right?" Chen Mo smiled and shook his head.

Gao Shun nodded. He knew Chen Mo relatively well. When it comes to power, it doesn't really count, but it is true that he is very utilitarian. But how many people in Luoyang are not utilitarian?

The two stopped talking about this topic. Chen Mo began to tell Gao Shun about his battle in Runan. Gao Shun would make some suggestions. The two continued chatting until the afternoon, before Chen Mo took his leave.
