Cao Heng stayed at Ding Yao's residence until dark before leaving.

Just as he was about to leave the palace and go home, a voice stopped him: "Brother, wait for a moment."

Looking back, Cao Heng saw a young man walking towards him.

The one who came over was Cao Shu's second son, Cao Yi, who was also Cao Heng's second brother.

When he came to Cao Heng, Cao Yi bowed and gave a big gift: "I had a lot of things to say to my elder brother at my grandmother's place, but I still couldn't find any opportunity. I wonder if my elder brother has free time now?"

Cao Yi was born to Zhen Mi. He only studied on weekdays, and he was not forced by his mother to practice both civil and military affairs since childhood like Cao Heng.

Although he does not understand martial arts, Cao Yi is very smart and can often see through things at a glance.

He is only one year younger than Cao Heng, and the two are almost the same height, and even their appearance is somewhat similar.

"You and I are not outsiders, so what else can't you say?" Cao Heng said to Cao Yi: "Just say whatever you want."

"I want to ask my elder brother, can I bring me with me when I go out to the expedition?" Cao Yi said a little embarrassedly: "Although I am not as brave as my elder brother, I can write documents or serve tea and water for my elder brother. The elder brother is leading the army, and the brothers are very envious, and they should not have no expression in any case..."

"What do you want to express?" Cao Heng said: "I don't know you. I have not been allowed to practice martial arts since I was a child. My wisdom is good, but my body is very weak. The alien races outside the pass are as strong as calfs. When I meet them, I may not have time to protect you."

"As long as the elder brother is willing to take me out of seclusion," Cao Yi said: "When I meet a Hu person, I have a way to protect myself. I will definitely not cause trouble to the elder brother."

"Have you ever asked the Zhen mother?" Cao Heng said: "You know, you don't understand martial arts at all. Staying in the back as a think tank may be enough, and you will take you into battle..."

Speaking of this, he shook his head: "Don't make trouble with me, neither my father nor the Zhen family's mother would agree."

"I'll beg my father. If he agrees, my elder brother will take me there. What's the matter?" Cao Yi asked Cao Heng.

"If my father agrees, of course I can take you there." Cao Heng said: "But you don't think too well. I think what my father agrees may not be very big."

"If my father doesn't agree, I won't go." Cao Yi replied: "Although I'm not capable, I'm also a Cao family. If I had to stay at home all day, I always feel that I'm useless. Now I'm grown up, and being able to share my father and elder brother's worries is what I should do."

"My father probably hasn't fallen asleep yet," Cao Heng asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

"Old brother, of course it's better." Cao Heng was willing to accompany him, so Cao Yi hurriedly gave a big gift.

"It's too early to thank me now." Cao Heng said: "When my father agrees, it's not too late to thank me again."

Although it was not clear that he had agreed, Cao Heng's actions made Cao Yi feel that he was willing.

Cao Yi said: "Brother, don't worry. If I go outside the pass, I will never cause trouble."

"You are my brother." Cao Heng patted his arm lightly and smiled slightly: "Brother wants to go to war with me, how could I not take care of you?"

"If one day the elder brother thinks that I have delayed things, just send me away." Cao Yi replied: "I went outside the pass to share my worries, and it is definitely not to distract my elder brother."

"I'll make meritorious service outside the pass." Cao Heng said: "If you and other brothers don't make any contributions, you will inevitably gossip about being the king in the future, saying that you have only grown up in the Cao family. I hope that every brother can share my worries and that you can achieve something. But what I hope more is that our brothers can work together in their lives and never make any trouble."

"If anyone dares to make a mess, I won't bother them, and I won't forgive them if anyone dares to make a mistake!" Cao Yi replied immediately.

"Don't talk here. If my father rests in a while, he will have to wait for tomorrow." Cao Heng greeted and took Cao Yi to Cao Shu's study.

"I won't ask you where my father will be?" I found that he was heading straight to Cao Shu's study, Cao Yi asked in confusion.

"What are you asking?" Cao Heng said: "There are a lot of affairs in the Great Wei Dynasty recently. My father must have not yet fallen asleep. We will definitely be able to meet him when we go to the study room, so why both of us ask more questions?"

Cao Heng was decisive. Although Cao Yi didn't dare to believe it, he didn't dare to ask too much, so he had to follow him.

When they arrived near Cao Shuo's study, they saw that the lights were still on in the study, and Deng Zhan and Zhu Aozheng were guarding outside the door.

Seeing Cao Heng and Cao Yi coming, the two of them met.

Deng Zhan asked: "Why are the two young men here?"

"General Deng." Cao Heng bowed and replied: "Dare you asking if your father is here?"

"The lord is inside." Deng Zhan asked, "The two young men are asking to see each other now?"

"That's right." Cao Heng said: "I'll ask General Deng to report it on his behalf."

"Please wait for two young men." Deng Zhan agreed, turned around and walked to the door of the study.

He said to the study, Mian, "You are the lord, the eldest son and the second son are asking for a meeting."

Cao Shuo's voice came from the study: "Let them come in."

After receiving Cao Shu's response, Deng Zhan returned to the two of them and said to them: "Lord, please let the two young masters come in and talk."

"Thank you General Deng." Cao Heng and Cao Yi thanked each other and entered the room.

Cao Shu was sitting in the room, looking through something, and when he heard someone enter the room, he raised his head and saw Cao Heng leading Cao Yi to the place.

"Why did you two come together?" Cao Shu asked the two of them.

"Report to my father." Cao Heng said: "I just came out of my grandmother, and my second brother caught up with me and said he wanted to go out with me to fight against the Hu people. I didn't dare to make a decision without authorization, so I came to ask my father what he meant."

Looking at Cao Yi, Cao Shu asked, "Why did you follow your elder brother to go to war?"

"Reply to my father's words, I have grown up. The elder brother can share my worries for my father, and I should share my worries for my father and elder brother." Cao Yi replied: "I have a filial and brotherly heart, and I hope my father can fulfill it!"

"You are different from your brother." Cao Shuo said: "I have never practiced martial arts since I was a child. What's the use of going to the battlefield?"

"The strategist does not necessarily need to fight in person." Cao Yi replied: "I am willing to share the responsibility for my elder brother. I can be responsible for exploring the situation of the enemy and thus planning better strategies. It is better to have one more person around my elder brother than to have one less person."

Looking at Cao Heng, Cao Shu asked, "What do you think?"

Cao Heng replied: "My second brother is willing to share his father's worries, but I have no reason to refuse. I have said just now that if my father agrees, I can take him outside the pass to practice."

"Okay! Very good!" Cao Shu said: "I am very pleased that your brothers have such thoughts. It's just that you two are out, Henger can take care of your brothers."

"Don't worry, with me here, I will never let my second brother suffer any harm." Cao Heng agreed immediately.

"Don't always cause trouble for your brother." His eyes fell on Cao Yi's face again, and Cao Shu said: "When you get outside the pass, what you need to do is listen more and watch more. When you don't know much about it, don't rush to offer advice to your brother. He has repeatedly attacked the Hu people and won many battles. The understanding of the Hu people is something you need to learn for a long time. I allow you to go, definitely not to cause trouble for him."

"I will never cause any trouble for my brother." Cao Yi immediately responded.

"Ask your mother, if she agrees, your brother will go on the war in a few days, and you will follow." Cao Shu waved his hand: "I have some things to do here, so you two will retreat first."

The two brothers took the order and retreated.

After leaving Cao Shuo's study, Cao Yi said to Cao Heng: "It's still the elder brother who knows his father and knows that he hasn't stopped yet."

"As the king, there are countless affairs to deal with every day. As the King of Wei, my father has not yet been elected as emperor, but the world is already belonging to our Great Wei." Cao Heng replied: "The affairs he needs to deal with are something we cannot imagine at all?"

"The elder brother is really filial to share his father's worries." Cao Yi said: "I can follow my elder brother out of seclusion to attack the Hu people, and I also do my best for the Great Wei. After leaving seclusion, as long as the elder brother asks me to do what I can, I will do my best. If the elder brother doesn't let me do what I do, I will never cause trouble for the elder brother."

"Actually, my father and I are very happy if you have such thoughts." Cao Heng asked: "Where do you want me to accompany you with my mother in the Zhen family?"

"I will convince my mother, so I don't have to bother my elder brother." Cao Yi replied: "It's not too early, so I dare not delay my elder brother's rest."

"Since you can convince me, I won't accompany you." Cao Heng patted his arm lightly and said to him: "I'll leave first. After convinced the mother of the Zhen family, I will tell me tomorrow, and I know if I should take you to the battle with me."

"I'll give it to my elder brother." Cao Yi agreed.

Cao Heng said, "You don't have to send me off. I'll go and ask for a meeting before my mother of the Zhen family hasn't fallen asleep."

"Greatly send me off to my elder brother." Cao Yi bowed and responded.

After watching Cao Heng leave, Cao Yi walked towards Zhen Mi's residence.

Ding Yao arranged a banquet, and at noon and evening, Zhen Mi and other wives drank some wine.

When he returned to his residence, Zhen Mi was about to go to bed, when the maid came to report: "Madam Qi, the second young master is asking for a meeting."

"What did he do when he really came to see me?" Zhen Mi frowned slightly. The person who came was her biological son, and she could not say he could not see him. So she ordered the maid: "Let him come in."

The maid agreed and walked outside the house. She said to Cao Yi who was there: "Second Young Master, please invite me."

"Thank you sister." Cao Yi, the maid next to Zhen Mi, certainly did not dare to act rashly, said thank you, and followed her into the room.

When he came to Zhen Mi, the maid said, "Madam Qi Bing, the second young master is here."
