Chapter 776 Extra 54
Cao Wenci couldn't help but think of Huo Qingluo in his mind.
I can't help but think about what my subordinates just said.
He rubbed his brow with his hand.
I couldn't help but wonder what she was doing in the blacksmith shop?
Why was he so careless when he was being chased before, not bringing his family guards with him when he went out?
Cao Wenci was still a little worried.
Fortunately, two subordinates were arranged to protect her. These two subordinates have first-class martial arts skills, so she should not be in any danger.
…
Huo Qingluo naturally didn't know this.
Whenever she went to the blacksmith shop, she would cover her face and have someone make these parts.
Of course, she went out on her own. She didn't want anyone to know that she was making hidden weapons, so she didn't bring her family guards with her.
The hidden weapon is her secret, just like the secret she hides deep in her heart.
She didn't want anyone to pry into her or know about it, so she carefully hid this little secret.
Every time she thought of Cao Wenci and sending him a hidden weapon, she felt excited and expectant in her heart.
This feeling is very strange. She can't describe it herself, but she feels that every time she thinks of this person, she will look forward to the arrival of the next day, because she knows that he exists in this world and she looks forward to seeing him.
After half a month, the blacksmith shop had made the parts.
Because the parts are very complex and delicate, it takes a long time.
Of course, the materials and workmanship are also expensive.
Huo Qingluo paid the fee with the money she had saved and took the box home.
After returning home, she began to assemble it and apply medicine to the hidden silver needle inside.
After assembling and testing it, Huo Qingluo was quite satisfied.
“It’s very sensitive and fast.”
By the time everything was ready, half a month had passed.
In fact, when preparing these, Huo Qingluo's heart was beating like a deer, looking forward to seeing Cao Wenci again.
Maybe just seeing him would make me happy.
Huo Qingluo felt that she finally understood what love meant in the storybook.
It turns out this is what it feels like to like someone and miss someone.
In addition to hidden weapons, she also wanted to give something else.
However, she doesn't know how to cook and can't send homemade snacks.
Even if I ask her to learn it now, she probably won't be able to do it.
After everything was done, Huo Qingluo disguised herself and went out at night.
The two secret guards responsible for protecting Huo Qingluo both changed their expressions.
"You said Miss Huo is really brave, going out alone in the middle of the night."
"She was hunted last time, isn't she afraid?"
"I always feel like she's doing something mysterious, but I don't know what it is."
"The master told us to protect her and not to interfere with anything else. We just need to protect her."
"You said that the master clearly cares about Miss Huo, but why doesn't he show it? We are all worried. With our skills, the master would normally assign us the most difficult and dangerous tasks, but this time he chose to protect Miss Huo."
"This shows that in the master's mind, this is the most important task, so we must complete it well and not take it lightly."
The two men quickly and quietly followed.
"Hey, why is Miss Huo here in our base?"
The master naturally set up a base in the capital.
It is a store on the most prosperous street in Beijing.
"Cao Wei must have told her."
"It's because the master trusts Miss Huo, otherwise the stronghold must not be told to outsiders."
…
Huo Qingluo came to the door of a store, which was a teahouse.
The door will also be open at midnight.
Huo Qingluo knocked on the door gently.
Cao Wei came out and opened the door to see Huo Qingluo. Although she was surprised, she was also really happy.
"Miss Huo is here, please come in."
Huo Qingluo followed Cao Wei into the store.
This was her first time visiting this store.
I just know that this teahouse is very famous.
The environment inside is also very elegant.
Cao Wei took Huo Qingluo to a private room on the second floor.
"This private room is not open to the public. It is only opened when the master comes."
Huo Qingluo said, "Then is it inappropriate for me to come to this private room?"
Cao Wei said, "There's nothing inappropriate about that. The master is naturally special to you."
Hearing this, Huo Qingluo's heart almost skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but guess what this sentence meant.
I kept turning these words over and over in my mind.
"Miss Huo is here, but what's the matter?"
Huo Qingluo said, "Your master saved me last time, and I happened to have made something myself. I wanted to ask you to help give it to your master and thank him for me."
Although Huo Qingluo wanted to see Cao Wenci.
But she was not sure whether Cao Wenci would be willing to see her.
She was still very nervous and could only find a way to give the gift to him first.
Although Cao Wei was curious about what Miss Huo was going to give her master, she was happy when she heard it.
It was worth her hint that day, Miss Huo was willing to come to her on her own initiative and even prepared a gift for her master.
When she sent Miss Huo back that time, she was afraid that Miss Huo would have a bad impression of her master because of her master's indifferent attitude.
Fortunately, it didn't.
Cao Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
They feel sorry for their master, so naturally they want to do their best to help.
"The master will definitely be very happy."
Huo Qingluo pinched her fingers, "Will he be happy?"
"Of course, Miss Huo, because of what the master has experienced in the past, he rarely shows his emotions and gives people a cold feeling."
"In fact, when the master was a child, when the master and the mistress were around, he was not like this at all."
Huo Qingluo asked curiously, "So, what was he like back then?"
Huo Qingluo couldn't help but think about Cao Wenci's temper when he was a child.
I imagined all kinds of things in my mind, but I still couldn’t imagine it.
"I'm sorry, if it's inconvenient to say, I won't say it."
Cao Wei said, "I am from a branch of the family. Later, I was selected to be with the lady and take care of her."
"At that time, the master was still young, gentle but fond of laughter. He was kind to everyone, and a man of both literary and martial talents. When the master was studying, he had a bookish air, but once he practiced martial arts, he was full of youthful vigor and bright as the sun..."
Cao Wei still remembers following the lady and watching the young master practicing martial arts.
"Our wife is also a very gentle person."
The Cao family and the Cao Gang are both very large, so the Cao family is not as peaceful as it seems on the outside, and there are undercurrents inside.
She was just a member of an insignificant branch of the family, and she was bullied by other members of the family when she was a child.
Later, it was the lady who called her over, protected her, and ensured that she had enough food and warm clothes.
The lady is like a sister to her.
At that time, the lady knew about the master's past, but she never got angry. She knew that the Huo family was a military family and had made great contributions to protecting the people on the border, so she admired such people very much.
He also agreed that the young master should work hard so that he could marry Miss Huo in the future.
So when Cao Wei saw Huo Qingluo, she liked her from the bottom of her heart because of her good personality.
She looked at her master's indifferent expression and knew that he was only trying to protect her.
But she still wanted Miss Huo to understand.
She is a woman, and she can feel that Miss Huo has a good impression of her master.
That's why I said some words. Fortunately, Miss Huo is smart and can understand them.
For some reason, Cao Wei looked at Huo Qingluo and instinctively liked her, thinking that she had a good personality.
Their masters would surely like a girl like this.
Not to mention that the master also remembers the expectations that the master and the mistress had for him.
Huo Qingluo listened to Cao Wei's words and imagined what Cao Wenci looked like when he was a child.
"It must have been very hard for him since his parents left!"
Cao Wei nodded and said, "Indeed, not to mention the Cao family, but the Cao Gang as a force, many people are coveting it. The old master and his wife are dead, and the young master is still young, so those people are thinking about fighting for it."
"When the young master was seriously injured, he still encountered several assassination attempts."
"That was five years ago. The young master was only twelve years old. Despite being seriously injured, he managed to support the Cao family and the Cao Gang, and even shocked everyone with his thunderous methods."
"Miss Huo, maybe I can't explain the situation clearly in a few words, but our master is really very good, and he has suffered a lot. Although he looks cold, he treats people the best and is the most protective of others."
"When those people were chasing you that day, the master saved you despite his own injuries. So the master is not as indifferent as he appears."
Although Cao Wei didn't say it explicitly, she just wanted Miss Huo to believe Cao Wenci.
Trust him and don't be scared by his indifference.
Cao Wei could see that Huo Qingluo grew up in a warm and cozy environment and was pampered by the people around her.
Such a girl is simple and kind, and her whole person is like a little sun.
Such people can warm people's hearts the most.
Huo Qingluo nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for telling me this."
Cao Wei said, "Miss Huo, you're too polite."
"If Miss Huo wants to give our master a gift, it would be better for her to deliver it in person."
"Our master happens to be in the valley these past two days."
Huo Qingluo asked nervously, "Is it okay?"
Could she go over to the valley?
Cao Wei said, "Of course you can. The master trusts you. Otherwise, outsiders would never be allowed to enter the valley, let alone come out without being blindfolded or drugged. We can't let anyone remember the path and location over there."
"But the master has no defense against Miss Huo."
Hearing this, Huo Qingnuan's eyes lit up.
"Well, that's fine. I'll give it to him personally to thank him."
It’s a good opportunity to tell him how to use hidden weapons.
It's always clearer if you say it in person.
It's more convenient to deliver the gift in person.
Perhaps, Huo Qingnuan herself subconsciously wanted to see Cao Wenci more.
For the first time, he understood the words in the storybook and realized the feeling of missing someone.
This kind of longing is completely different from the feeling I have for my loved ones.
Cao Wei smiled and thought, perhaps the master was thinking of Miss Huo too.
Cao Wei and Huo Qingnuan agreed to leave the city and go to the valley the next afternoon.
She needed Huo Qingnuan to disguise herself.
Huo Qingnuan nodded naturally.
After Huo Qingnuan returned, one of the two secret guards who were protecting Huo Qingnuan came to Huo Wei and asked, "No, are you really planning to take Miss Huo to see the master?"
"Will the master be angry?"
Huo Wei asked, "Do you think the master will be angry?"
The secret guard thought for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Perhaps the master also wants to see her."
"The master treats her very differently."
"For so many years, no woman has ever been able to get close to the master."
In the past two years, although the master's legs were not very good, as a helper of the Cao Gang and the head of the Cao family, and because the master was extremely handsome, there were many women who liked him. However, the master always kept people at a distance and never said a word to any girl.
The nobles and powerful people extended olive branches and even wanted to become the master's helpers, but the master did not agree.
Cao Wei said, "When our master was young, he probably knew in his heart that he had to become stronger in the future so that he could marry Miss Huo."
"If someone is indoctrinated with such ideas since childhood, do you think their ideas will change when they grow up?"
The secret guard thought for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Besides, wasn't that the arrangement made by the master's wife?"
"The headmaster's wife is no longer with us, so the master probably hopes to fulfill their wish."
"But why doesn't the master treat Miss Huo better, or even express his feelings?"
Cao Wei said: "You think it's that easy, don't forget that the master is in a storm now. The Cao family's affairs have not been resolved, and the master dare not show weakness."
"Maybe there are weaknesses, but I dare not expose them."
