ps: Chapter Anti-theft, correct it later...

He watched Sima Yi and Bai Lingjun get on the carriage from a distance, and under the escort of a large group of servants, he left Zhuolong Temple.

Cao Liang was in a good mood. Cao Liang had great gains during this meeting with Bai Lingjun, of course, it did not refer to physical pleasure. Although the woman who had affair with Sima Yi was particularly exciting, Cao Liang's biggest purpose in this trip was to obtain information from Sima's Mansion.

Sima Yi's rebellion seemed to be imminent. If Cao Liang could control all the movements of Sima's mansion at this time, it would be like putting an eye beside Sima Yi. In this way, he would not have missed this drama.

This is undoubtedly crucial. If Cao Liang can really grasp the Sima family's trends, then he can be prepared to deal with it in advance.

The Sima family's coup was not accidental, but the result of Sima Yi's deliberate plotting and planning for many years. Now, it seems that Cao Shuang is in power, sitting as the chief minister, and taking charge of military and political power inside and outside the capital. However, Cao Liang knew that Cao Shuang was just a strong man on the outside and the middle, and his inner pocket had been emptied. The reason why Cao Shuang was defeated was not only because of his stupidity and incompetence, but also the more important reason was that Sima Yi had controlled everything. When the coup was initiated, the ending was already destined.

What Cao Liang had to do was to go against the will of heaven and change his fate and compete with the Sima family. Cao Liang knew that with his current strength in Luoyang, he was completely inconsistent with the Sima family, but if he could grasp the Sima family's movements in advance, he would not have no power to fight back.

After leaving Zhulong Temple, Cao Liang did not go home directly, but circled around Zhulong Pool.

The Zhuolong Pond is very large, with sunset glows everywhere, and the breeze is gentle and cool. It is the best place for people to cool off and enjoy the coolness.

Cao Liang thought while walking, and suddenly someone shouted at him from a distance: "Cao Ziming!"

The sound was crisp and as pleasant as a silver bell. Cao Liang looked up and saw a woman in a lilac dress standing not far away, waving to him. She was not someone else, but Sima Ru, the eldest daughter of Sima Shi.

Sima Ru's smile was as gorgeous as summer flowers. She saw Cao Liang from afar and ran over. Now her engagement with Zhen De is not much different from being invalid, so Sima Shi no longer confines her, so she went out to Zhuolong Garden to have fun today, but she didn't expect to meet Cao Liang here, which surprised Sima Ru.

"Why, is Miss Sima also interested in going out for a trip?" Cao Liang said with a smile. Because of Xiahou Xuan, Cao Liang treated Sima Ru and the people from the Sima family differently.

Sima Ru said dissatisfiedly: "What, if you are allowed to come, don't you allow me to come? This Zhuolong Garden doesn't seem to belong to yours, right?"

Cao Liang said: "Of course it's not my family, but it's just that it's so late again. It's not safe to run here alone, right?"

Sima Ru curled her lips and said, "You are not a few years older than me, why should you teach me a lesson with the tone of an elder?"

Cao Liang smiled slightly and said, "Your uncle and I are close friends. As brothers, I can be considered your elders. Besides, before your uncle went to Chang'an, he specifically told me to take care of you." Cao Liang secretly complained in his heart that this little girl is really not used as dry food for bean bags. The wife I married almost became your stepmother's person. The lover I just slept with was from your grandmother. How could he be considered your elder?

Sima Ruda did not stubbornly with him anymore, glanced behind him and said, "Actually, I came out with a few servants, but I was so angry that I drove them away. I didn't have the chance to see you again in the last time, and I finally said thank you to you today."

"What happened last time? What happened?" Cao Liang was confused.

Sima Ru was a little shy: "It's...that's the case."

Cao Liang then suddenly realized and said, "You are talking about that. Actually, you don't have to thank me. You should thank your uncle Xiahou Taichu. If it weren't for his efforts to mediate, I'm afraid you have become the bride of the Zhen family now."

Sima Ru pouted and said, "I don't want to marry that Zhen De. He is old and ugly. He can't do anything except spending money, let alone fighting and making achievements. What's the use of such a waste who is just waiting to die?"

Zhen De is almost the same age as Sima Shi, no wonder Sima Ru was extremely dissatisfied. Although the old couple and young wife were almost a match in this era, Sima Ru was obviously unwilling to obey the orders of her parents and fight hard, so that Xiahou Xuan would come forward for her. In the end, Cao Shuang expelled Empress Dowager Guo, and this matter came to an end.

The object of Sima Yi's marriage is Empress Dowager Guo. As for Zhen De's character and appearance, it is not within Sima Yi's consideration at all. He wants to win over Empress Dowager Guo to his side through marriage. With the support of Empress Dowager Guo, Sima Yi will have a backing to fight against Cao Shuang.

But Cao Shuang was very good at doing things. As soon as there was a little disturbance, she took the lead in leading the palace and put Empress Dowager Guo under house arrest, which also made Sima Yi's plan fail.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with Zhen De. He was at a young age and was in Pingyuan Hou. If you marry, you will be the wife of Pingyuan Hou and you will have endless wealth and honor in your life."

"What kind of glory and wealth are not rare? I won't like it. It makes people feel so frustrated when I get the title of a dead man. A real man kills the enemy and makes meritorious, and he will be named a marquis immediately. That is a hero." Zhen De was adopted by the princess who died young. When Sima Ru mentioned him, he looked contemptuous. When he said that he was immediately named a marquis, he looked fascinated.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "It seems that you have a lover, right?"

A rare shy look appeared on Sima Ru's face and she twisted and said, "So you can see it."

Cao Liang couldn't help but feel funny secretly. You wrote the look of spring on your face, and you can't tell that you are blind.

"Then I guess, Miss Sima's sweetheart should be a great hero, who is far and wide and magnificent, and he should have the style of a champion Hou."

Sima Ru laughed and said, "You guessed it too accurately, and you are not right at all."

Cao Liang said in confusion: "But among the young talents in Luoyang City, I have never heard of such a person."

Sima Ru's eyes rolled around and she smiled and said with a smile: "This person is far away in the sky and near in front of her."

Cao Liang looked around and didn't notice anyone around him. He said in surprise: "Who is it?"

"It's you!" Sima Ru was generous and said frankly, "The person I like is you, I want to marry you!"
